WannabeSkinnyMinnie's Fat to Fab Diary 2013

Hey Everybody,

I have been on TS for 8 days now and thought it was time to write a diary as I'm always reading and writing on everybody elses enough :P

I started Exante on the 4th of January- I had a final binge over Christmas and now ready to lose weight- once and for all.

I have done WW in the past- losing 4 stones when I was 15 and last year nearly 2 stone. The diet works- slowly- but I found it hard to attend the meetings with my work schedule :( It gets frustrating when the weight dribbles off you when you work hard- counting points and eating healthily.

I have also had a hypno band most recently. It has helped me reduce my meals and feel full quicker. I lost a stone in 3 months through healthy eating and regular exercise.

However, I am doing Exante as I am on a bit of a deadline! I have been asked to be a bridesmaid for a goos friend of mind- however- its abroad in August! I haven't been on holiday for years as I cannot face wearing clothes that show your body! I normally wear cardis and black tights- I can't wear these there haha!


So I have until July to lose the weight. Ideally, for my height of 5'1 I need to be between 8 and 9 stone. So far I have lost 8lb. My friend has just done the cambridge diet and her weightloss has been very successful and she looks fantastic! She is the bride :)

Onwards and inwards....

Yay!!! You have a diary!!! Xxx

Good luck!

Looking forward to reading about your success.
I am bridesmaid in May and want to lose about 5 stone hence the diet :)

Hello lovely, looking forward to keeping up with your diary. Think we are similar weights too :) xx

Glad you made a diary! ;) Really looking forward to watching your progress! Practically the same weight as me with same goal weight so here's to getting there, Well done so far :D xx

Aww cheers guys! I'm looking forward to sharing my progress with you :)

Today I've had two strawberry shakes! I tried to make one into a muffin like I do with the chocolate one- tasted weird! Still don't like the veg soup either- just couldn't eat it! So only had bits of each and chucked them so had a chicken breast cooked on the George Foreman. I should still stay in ketosis but think I've probably eaten less calories than what I should have :S Least chicken has no carbs and low fat I suppose!
What a disaster!! x

and won't have had my vits and mins :S

Yeah I'm hoping for 9.6 as that puts me with a healthy BMI- your a little bit taller but theres only 1lb difference in our weight! We can do it!!!

Hello :D
That's a very realistic time frame you have to get to your goal :D

Do you think? I thought I was being a bit ambitious! Having never done this diet before or any other VLCD's I don't know what to expect! Normally 5-6 stone would take me 3 years if I was on WW. I feel pressure to keep losing weight before July so I am so glad you think its realistic :D I will get there :)

This diet averages at around 1st per month, some lose more! Very realistic goal date :) xx

I think it's very achievable, wether you make it or not is up to you, give it a damn good go! 1st a month yep I know you can do it xxx

I agree. If you keep to it, then YES it is very doable. 7 months to lose 6 stone ;)
That gives you a little extra, incase you have another few social events in the meantime to catch up :D
Plod on with it, and you will deffo get there :D

Ahh cheers for the confidence guys :) I can't wait to get there- I am so determined not to be a fat bridesmaid that I have no other choice but to stick to this.


Today I had the choc shake hot with some cinnamon- it was lovely! Can't wait for another! Just had my first glass of coke zero and it feels amazing! I'm so fed up with water so I'm glad I can drink this!

how do you make the shakes into muffins that sounds awesome????ive never done a vlcd either, so we can see what its like together!
