Thread: ≧❂◡❂≦ Hello! It's my VLCD diary! ~ "Me & my gorgeous BUTT!!!!!" ≧✯◡✯≦✌

Hey MiniMoosh, it's pretty cool that you didn't blip with yummy food, cause that would have restarted the whole ketosis and made you gain weight probably So well done for just blipping with a half bar and extra veggies!!

Anyway, what can i say...its day 6, i am drinking a coffee optifast shake for breakfast and i feel utterly fantastic. Weighed in this morning at 75.9kg! That's a loss of 1.3kg (just over 5lb) in 6 days even with the blip! Imagine what I could do in a week which is blip-free!

Rainbows and happy things to all

So good to see you with such a popsitive attitude!

I'm BACK. I feel off the wagon but I'm BACK BABY! I've set myself a 10 day challenge, as a sort of 'reset, I'm back, falling off the wagon didn't matter, I'm back on track' diet mindgame to play with myself. My ONLY FOCUS for the next 10 days is to stick to my VLCD NO MATTER WHAT (starting today NOW, already had my shake for breakfast). I'm gonna try to exercise, gonna try to take my olive leaf extract...but if I don't it's OK, as long as I stick to the diet I shall consider this next 10 days a SUCCESS. And I'm not going to weigh myself during the 10 days either, I shall wait until the end and see where I'm at And that shall be my jumping off point for the next week. I'm gonna end this month on a high people, and back on track!!

You can do it! You can you can! I'm on week 6 now and I can't believe I've gone this far. I'm readin books to motivate me, looking at clothes I'll get into! I won't even say good luck because it aint luck it's YOU who can do this!

MiniMoosh, you are just a whole lot of awesomeness and WIN! THANK YOU!!! See you in week 6, baby (Although you'll be up to week 12 by then...darn )

Hello! I think I'm going to post in here lots during my 10 day challenge! It's my place to ramble, come in and say hi if you want So anyways, I'm craving food...potato and cheese lasagne thingy that I ate yesterday. But I shall have no food, oh no! Earlier I drove to my friends' house and gave them the chocs and sweets and energy drink I bought yesterday. They can have it!! Now there's no temptation. I'm back at home and it's 3:20pm on day 1 of the 10 DAY CHALLENGE! So now I might open a can of coke zero and watch some DVDs. Yeah I can do this!!

Oh forgot to say, I had a chocolate shake with a spoon of instant coffee this morning and had a cappaccino bar for lunch. I definately like the chocolate bars better than the cappaccino or berry crunch. The two i don't like as much have kind of weird grainy stuff in the middle a bit like rice bubbles. But the chocolate one is really smooth in the middle, kind of like a nougat or a soft fudge. I will definately be getting mainly those ones after all my bars run out! The cappaccino shake and the chocolate dessert are also my favourites. Haven't tried any of the soups and I don't think I will as I'm a sweet-tooth

It's the evening! Yeah, I said I'd be doing a lot of posting here. I had Optifast chocolate pudding for dinner, now I'm drinking lots more water. Day 1 is over in a few hours I am watching an inspirational lecture. The guy in it has a great saying about 'setbacks' when achieving your dreams:

'Brick walls are there so you can prove how much you want it'

i.e. when you hit a brick wall (like I did with this weight loss), it's when you get back up and break down the wall that you show how much you REALLY REALLY WANT IT, and THEN you get it.

Here's the lecture: Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams - YouTube

I'm so proud of myself for getting back up and breaking down this brick wall THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT, YOU'RE ALL WONDERFUL AND I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR WITHOUT YOU XXX THANK YOU MY DEAR MINIMINS FRIENDS!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

Good to see you in the groove. One thing you might want to consider is writing out your goals and why you want to lose weight. Be totally honest with yourself. Then you can refer to them in the future if there's a bit of a wobble. Also, consider having lots of mini goals which you can mark off progress towards. All helps ou keep in the zone!

Keep going keep going! Use all the !!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the world if it helps lol.

Depending on your soup flavour, can I just say- I only have chicken, don't like the others on S&S but can only eat it with ground black pepper and ground garlic. Nice for a savoury fix!

All the best for the rest of the challenge, do everything you can to keep motivated. I'm reading all the low-carb books I can get my hands on!

It's great you are posting lots. It helps divert one. It's fabulous you chucked out teh temptations your brought into the house.

It's also great that you are working out what you like and don't like. Getting the bars/shakes/sachets or whatever that you can sustain is essential. I wouldn't say I love the ones I use most - but they are acceptable and I can get on with them.
