Salmon Flakes from waitrose smoked
Fat free tub of q4uark
packet of Ham waitrose
4 bars of alpen light which were my healthy b's
skimmed milk with coffees
asdas small packets of grapes and apples
4 glasses of vodka slimline tonics
Please help?
so dishaertened as i' ve tried very very hard

It may come off by wi. Ive only started doing some red days so will be interested how you get on. X

Still no loss so going to do a vlcd

Don't be disheartened - 5 days is far too early to see much change. Also where are your vegetables/salad? Rather than packets and pots of things which will be calorie dense , less protein items with more free or SF vegetables will help. I know it's unlimited quantities but filling up on more SF type food will really help give you a better balance.

VLCD is only going to give you a quick loss of water which is gratifying on the scales but is going to be regained once you go back to a more normal eating plan plus it just leads to yo-yoing - I spent the last year losing and regaining the same half a stone when slow and steady would've given me a much better loss. Best of luck - whichever way you decide.
