Thread: Starting Afresh after a week of gluttony!!

Hi All back fomr my shopping expedition.

Never got the shoes as they did not have a size 6 so when I got home I have ordered them online, managed to try a pair on in a different colour and they felt so comfy.

Women's Black Schuh Zulu Glitter Mule at Schuh

I met someone last week who had a diamante pair on and she said they were so comfy, I really liked them but opted for the ones above as they are so glittery and I do like a bit of sparkle!!

Anyway felt starving whilst we were out and also a bit headachy.
We only stayed for an hour ( only 20 mins from us) and OH got a packet of wasabi peas from M&S. I did taste two in the car home!

When I got back had a banana shake straight away and drank the whole thing and actually enjoyed it again. I then stupidly had 4 slices of cucumber, I know in the grand scheme of things it should not matter just annoyed I did eat them, mind you it was nice to chew something! Going to have a soup later and hopefully that will be day 3 done and dusted.

Still can't believe I am doing this to be honest!!

hi...i m not the world expert, most of the guys on here are much better at this than me, I have been on exante for just shy of 4 weeks (Weds) and have lost 15lb, I can really tell the difference in how I look, I love it !
One tip tho..I put a 2/3 full pint glass of water in the fridge at night & make my shake for breakfast with this, I need it to be icy cold and then I really enjoy it. At first the soup used to make me heave but now I really enjoy them...loads n loads of pepper. I have a bar for lunch cos at work..I can now make one last nearly half an hour n they are YUMMY !!
Good luck, if I can do this then anyone can....

Got some visitors for a few days ( 2 ickle Great nieces 6 and 4) so been busy with them today.

Have been 100% surprised myself yet again, don't feel hungry and have that metallic taste in my mouth so I guess this is ketosis.

Will be back tomorrow if I can find 5 mins lol

Sounds like youre doing great

Good Monring everyone,

Just a quickie as I have to start work soon but only a half day as got the two little ones here, hopefully swimming or the park this afternoon.

Felt ok yesterday, made OH dinner and didn't even lick my fingers lol.

I do want to eat, but I don;t feel hungry, no rumbling tum or anything, however had a dangerous moment when my niece was eating half a french stick with cheese lol

I have to lose weight this time my first goal is to get to 18 stones that was my lowest when I was doing WW and in all fairness it only took me about 16 weeks to lose 35lbs with WW but after an upset in February 2010 I started comfort eating again, I had a foray into slimming work and I really liked the class but most days I could not make my mind up if I was green/red or extra easy and therefore was very inconsistent with the plan, I also tried about 5 days on Atkins but seriously I could not stomach after 4/5 days so quit.

I have always wanted to do a VLCD for the sheer quickness of the weight loss. My nephew has lost a fair bit on Cambridge and I was always jealous at the rate the weight came off. The funny thin is he is now doing WW and I am doing Exante lol

Anyway just had a vanilla shake, I much prefer the shakes to the soups, I did have a bar but wasn't all that keen on it. My next order will just be shakes I think. Much more palatable.

Anyway have a good day one and all.

Off now before the two girls wake up, I work from home most days so not too bad but I do have a few things to do this morning, I have DVD's, Karaoke, colouring books, card making and Guess who so hopefully that will keep them happy till we go out later ;'-)

HI all, been 100% all day had a good afternoon at he splash park with the two tweenies. They had a picnic with my friend and her two grandchildren, lots of goodies but I resisted everything. Just drank my water, my friend offered me loads of stuff but I just said no thanks, being good today. She doesn;t know I am doing a VLCD but she knows I am trying to lose weight.

Anyway just about to have third shake as really do not like the soups, however I have just eaten one small cocktail sausage left on tweenie 2's plate!! Very naughty, but never mind.

Looking forward to WI tomorrow, I started last Friday at 19 stones 12lbs, I weighed Thursday evening in clothes and will WI tomorrow morning minus clothes lol so hoping to see a decent loss, I ma hoping for at least 10lbs if not more.

Have a great evening

Wendy x

Didn't weigh in this morning as silly me, I will not have done full 7 days until tomorrow morning. I was so tired last night I don't think I knew what I was posting!! lol
Just had a vanilla shake, can drink them now without holding my nose lol.

Still not keen on the soups and as I have only had one bar in the seven days don't feel I can judge them yet.

Tweenies going home today, just waiting for their Mum to arrive around mid day, in hindsight starting Exante the week I was looking after them was probably not a good move as there have been times when the eldest one was naughty yesterday I really wanted to compensate with food. Must remember this is not a punishment I am choosing to do this!!!

Another test tomorrow is making 24 cupcakes for MIL and SIL Birthday's ( vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, choc fudge frosting and swiss meringue butter cream!!!, also there will be temptations galore on Saturday their Birthday party, not a big affair maybe 10/12 people but you know what its like.

Not sure what I am doing, I did plan to stay on Exante Total solution until next Thursday as we go on holiday on friday I will see what happens.

Have a great day.

Have struggled big time today so I have had some chicken and a small amount of humus. Feel better now I have eaten that and have also had my third shake, going to go to bed as feel munchie now!! Glugging water, hoping for a nice loss tomorrow to spur me on for at least another 5 days

Wendy x

Good luck honeykiss....hope you get a good weight loss! fingers crossed. x

Good Morning Everyone,

Well had my WI this morning and scales show a 13lb loss.

So today I am officially under 19 stone.

I feel bad cos I did eat last night but this morning seeing that loss has spurred me on. I am eating tomorrow night as we are going out, I know I should not especially in the first few weeks but I don't want OH fmaily asking questions as I just don't feel like talking it all through with them although I imagine they would be supportive, the only person is MIL's Sister who can be nasty and spiteful, I don't like her, she doesn't like me so the feeling is mutual. Anyway enough of family nightmares we all have them ;-)


So busy day at work today and looking forward to the weekend, I will also be baking cupcakes but thats ok, don't need to taste them as made them lots of times befoe.

Have a fab weekend everyone

Wendy x

13 pounds is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

Well done Wendy!

Thats a fantastic loss well done!

Wow, well done on your first weeks loss.

I have not started yet, I am waiting for it to arrive, but just wanted to say keep strong and good luck xx

Good Monring everyone,

Well weekend was fab but have not been 100%.

Saturday was ok, had my first 2 shakes and did plan to eat in the evening, was going to stick to Atkins type meal as thought we were going out turns out MIL had made lasagne, salad, garlic bread etc. So did eat but tried not to go bad, had one glass of champagne and then 2 diet cokes and water.

Sun day was a different story woke up starving and let me head rule me and had bacon and eggs for brekkie, wouldn't have been too bad but had 2 slices of toast as well!!

Anyway had that demon in my head them so had dinner later on in the day, stuff out of the freezer as was not planning a roast or anything.

Anyway woke up this morning full of determination to do 4 more days before we go on holiday, so had my first shake, feel hungry but fighting it by sipping water, did get on the scales and they show a 3lb gain but I can't be helped hoping a few days back on Exante will pull me in line, I know I am going to gain on hols but would like a 7LB leeway so even if I gain I don't go over the 19 stone mark again.


Anyway thats me up to date, hope you all had a good weekend.
