Just back on here this evening after a good year away. Could I please join your challenge? I don’t mind if you say no 😃

So back on it ... again! This is now day 4 and I have stuck to 3 or 4 shakes/soups a day. This is the first time I have properly been focused in years. I have been up to 12st and down to 11st but mostly in the middle. Last we I was away in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and had hit 12st!!! Got back Friday and...

Sorry I’m late but I have had another STS 😢

Some great losses coming through

Thank you for setting up again. Weigh in day Tuesday....target 7 pounds last Tuesday STS

STS this week 🙄

I know Darcy but I would love a week with a 2lb loss 🙃

Thank you Les but I would just love a 2lb loss week-this week is going to be it! #StayPositive

WI 1lb down 🙄 .... that’s a total of 3lb down and 18lb to go ... it’s going to be a long process

Another 1lb down-it’s going to be a long process 🙄 11st 4lb

Well it’s clearly going to be a long slow process but another 1lb loss for me 😁🙄

Excellent result! It’s a good feeling fitting in to smaller sizes. Keep up the great work x

Well done Darcy for getting back TS so quickly x

Hey Mini how are you x

WI day tomorrow and not sure how it will go 🙄

Thank you for the encouragement Ladies. I am still hanging in there. Going to jump on the scales tomorrow. I am a bit concerned as went to a local food festival last Saturday and got loads of lovely stuff inc 600g of feta (only eating it a little at a time) sun dried tomatoes and scones (which I...

I’m sure good things will happen when you go to class. Good luck x

Now Canada is something to look forward to 😃

Great you have had a whoosh! And over 3st in 3 months is amazing. I would talk to the doctor about the diet if you get a chance. Better to be safe than sorry x

So after a very rocky week today is WI day and I am down a pound....so 2lb down and 19lb to go ideally

I always find it strange that it is so easy to put weight on but such a battle to get it off

Good luck with your 100% for 💯 day’s. We are here to support you. What cruise are you going on

Darcy happy belated birthday 🎁

Same but I need to up my game from a pound a week

Well done upndown nice loss 👍

Thank you Sarah

Hello WI day for me and 1lb down. It’s coming off very slowly as I am not focused

WI day .... another 1lb down 11st 5lb

Hi GP. I am still around and all over the place. Out with friends drinking on Friday night but not allowing myself to go mad. WI day is Tuesday so need to get the total focus back x

Darcy I hope you had a lovely birthday today x

Thank you Sarah for taking time to update

Enjoy your evening with your feet up ... and have a great time planning your trip 😁

BM we can do this

WI day for me 1lb down. I hoped for more. Need to get focused this week

WI day .... 1 lb down so 11st 6lb 😁

Thank you....that is so very true. Today is WI day and I am down a pound. Now I know that’s not much but it has helped. I know that it is an evening that I struggle. So today I had a protein bar on the way home and it seems to have helped. As I have been full when I was cooking food for the...

Wow! That’s a great achievement moving from a 28 to 20. You must feel really proud of what you have achieved? Hope dinner went well

Darcy a pound down is one pound nearer your goal. Taking the train will be much more relaxing than having to drive in the traffic. How exciting working on holiday planning. Have a wonderful time

Thank you Darcy. I don’t think it has helped being off work. I am back in tomorrow so fingers crossed this helps me focus x

Been back less than a week and I am struggling. I’m ok in the morning and then it hits about 4pm and it all goes wrong. Not sure what to do

Thank you Darcy. I had a lovely day. Had tapas with my friend but then a shake this evening. Clocked up 17k steps. I must say I feel a little low this evening

Morning how are you doing? The sun ☀️ is back out for the second day in the North East. Fingers crossed it stays. Have a great day

Sounds like you feel much better today. Good luck and fingers crossed your headache 🤕 doesn’t come back. Have a great day 😀

On holiday again today so up and out for a nice walk with the 🐕 dog. I clocked up 6.5k steps so pleased for my start to the day. Back home for a shake and a coffee. Going to take a friend out for some fresh air, she had a hip replacement earlier in the year. The sky is blue and the sun ☀️ is out.

We’ll done Ladies. Have a brilliant day 😃

So today has been ok. I had stayed the same on the scales this morning which I understand when I ate half a portion of curry and rice last night. My daughter passed her driving test at 8.45 this morning so the start of the day was a little stressful. Had 2 x shakes plus a banana and a little of...

Ok so today went well until late afternoon ! I had shake for breakfast and again for lunch - then it all went wrong as family wanted a takeaway from dinner. I had half a portion of prawn curry and plain rice 🍚. On the exercise front I have done just over 15k steps

Excellent loss Mini

Hey 👋 Just been reading your diary from the start. You are doing amazing well with your weight loss....well done and I love they way no matter what you stick to it 😁

I love your hair. It looks fab

Up this morning, quick jump on the scales and 1lb down (I know it’s only water) but a pound is a pound. Taken the dog out for an hour walk and had a shake. Set myself a little well done treat of a pedicure when I get to 11st ... I can do this

I’d love to join in too please? Weigh in day Tuesday I’d like to lose 6lb Thank you

Miss Mac .... I’m back as well! Hope your night shift is going ok?

Darcy I’ve just caught up on your diary. Well done on your success so far. You must be extremely pleased x

First day 2 x shakes but then a bigger dinner of 2 small pancakes and a banana plus some cashews. I had a problem a couple of weeks ago that I was just too hungry and I struggled. But I have done 22k steps as I am off work on holiday this week 😁

Hi Honey how are you x

Hello How the you doing x

Forgot to say this morning I weighed 11st 7lb

So been away from here for a couple of weeks and put a few pounds on 😢 so I have a holiday shopping trip to London booked for 27 May. That means I need to get down to my holiday body by then!! The challenge has started and I’m the only one that can sabotage the result. So today it starts...I am...

So the last few days have been a little up and down. Had a few meals out but between the meals I have been better. Need to jump on the scales tomorrow morning and see what happens. I am in Southampton on Thursday and Friday then Home for a good 10 days.

I am still here. Just a little quiet as I was off plan last night and then through to Sunday evening with things in the diary. I hope I have made the right choices?!?! I will be straight back on it Monday morning. I did weigh myself yesterday morning and I was 4lb down so fingers crossed I...

Darcy you are so focused 😃

Debbie we totally can do it! I have a few events in my diary but I am determined to stick to my plan as much as I can. I don’t know about you but I am a daily weigher when I am dieting, and have had a little look this morning and will again tomorrow.

Darcy just caught up on your diary. Great to see you lost another 3lb at your last weigh in. You are so focused well done you

👌 ok day two. I have had 3 x shakes, a little piece of fresh tuna. I have been really hungry all day. But the worst was I had to get up 4 times in the night to go to the toilet. I can do this

Hey Darcy great to hear from you again. How are you doing Honey?

Thank you for the support. I hate that I take it off then put it back on. But I know I can do it again. How has the last 3 weeks gone for you

Thank you Debbie but I am only small 5’2” and my weight effects my blood pressure really badly. My problem is I love chocolate and jelly sweets 🍫

Back on here starting again weight is 11st 7lb .... let’s see what I can do this week

3 years later and I didn’t keep the weight off 😢 so I’m back and looking to start again. Today was my 1st day. 3 x shakes and a very small piece of tuna. I am so hungry. I have drunk enough fluids to sail a ship and can’t stop going to the toilet. I felt ok today but it’s this evening when I...

Both your days sound great. I'm impressed you have got to 4.30 on half a bar

Thanks Laura it's just that on either a Saturday or Sunday I take my mum out for lunch. She doesn't get out much so always looks forward to it. Been counting calories today as we did go out for lunch and upto 1250 so need to be careful. Dinner will need to be a clever choice :)

Day 4 - day off so I started with a 3 mile walk with the dog. Then had breakfast (eaten a bar) and just about to go and ride my horse. Not sure how the rest of the day is going to pan out....thinking I must make the right choices

Day 3 - and staying strong I did spot a biscuit in one of my shops today and I really wanted to eat it. But the most important thing is that I didn't! I have had 2 x exante bars so far and I am about to have an exante curry... I have had them in the cupboard for months even maybe a year and I...

Hi Feel like I have been snooping, by reading your diary. I hope you don't mind. Sounds like you have been on a bit of a journey since starting. How has your day been today?

Well that's day two finished. I hope there is a little more off when I jump on the scales in the morning. My tummy does feel empty going to bed even though I have had a drink. Steps have been ok today and I hit my step target when I walked the dog at 6.30 this evening.

2.5lb off already this week is great you are well in the zone. Hope your evening finished well

The headache haven't happened but I have had a couple of black coffees and kept hydrated.... thank you for asking but I am so hungry How are you doing

Day 1 went well 3 x meals and a latte (it had to be done) total 720 calories- 16609 steps, all in a good day but I did feel hungry in the late evening Today day 2. So up and out dog walked, horse mucked out 5000 steps done. Bottle of water and half a bar consumed....now on my way to work...

Thank you Laura - positive mental attitude

Laura I am going to do my best to follow TS for a few days at least to give me a kick start. Well hopefully stick to it as long as I possibly can. Doing well on first day but is only my first day. Fingers crossed I can see a difference on the scales by the weekend. I am also obsessed with...

Hi Laura I really only started properly on the vLCD today. I had reduced my calories over the last 10 days. It only took off 2lb ... which is ok but I would want more. I find it easy to cheet unless I commit to a site like this. No headaches today so really pleased and I have kept 2 x sachets...

Up and dog walked - not eaten my normal breakfast of toast but put a bar and meal in my bag for later. Quick jump on the scales and not lost anything since Saturday but today is a new day

Hi I can't help with your question but have to say you are doing really well so far....how was the hunger and headaches when you started?

I am 4 years on and back where I started-how sad is that? I kept the weight off for 2 years but then had an injury and couldn't run this seems to have been where my focus went backwards - I now need to sort my life out and get the balance right..... let's do this!!

Good luck tomorrow MM

A sausage sounds good at the moment

Angel you are doing so well and the bookcase is great

Harry you are doing so welll enjoying the gym is half the battle

How did you finish today? you are doing so well

Merry Christmas :109:

Merry Christmas :109:

It's a day late but Happy Christmas everyone :109::Christmas02r:

Been to Brighton for 3 days and have eaten a lot more than normal and drunk a lot of wine. Now need a few days detox before the weekend

Thanks Marge WI came in at STS...so I am pleased with that

Going to WI tomorrow but not sure how it will go. Took my mum out for dinner last night, for her birthday and then had a take out tonight. I have to say only ate half of both! And had only 300-350 calories on both days before dinner.

Well done on your WI and thank goodness the boiler is sorted x

I vote for wriggle room !

Lara you will love those photos eventually as they show were you have come from. Someone posted a photo of me 6 years ago on Facebook last weekend and I nearlly had a heart attack at how fat and bloated my face looked. But then the reality hit about what I look like now...and you know I don't...

I have just read your post about your half training starting after Christmas....I started mine this week! I want to be ready by end of March...just to keep me focused over the winter months

I went to my staff doo on Sunday evening wearing a little French Connection dress. A lot of my staff there had not seen me for ages and not in a party dress...the comments were amazing. They were shocked at how I looked in a good way...it really gave me a lift

Thank you Marge x

Thank you Carrie...I think half the problem with me is my own expectations

Susie that will be a very quick to move.....good you are back on track today good luck tomorrow

Oh Angel.....that must be so tough! keep focused and take a deep breath

Thanks Susie...yes I am below target. I still want to lose a little more but don't want to reset my target. I am happy where I am and don't want the extra stress of pushing myself to lose I hope I am making sense?! eaten 1100 calories today and taken 15k steps...due to running for 32 minutes...

My target on my stats is 9st 13lb but I am down to 9st 8lb now....would love to get closer to 9st by Christmas. I am sure you will get into those crop tops

Come on Lara you can do this....we start at the same weight and are the same height. We can work together to get to target??

What a brilliant date...and you will drop those 5 lbs I'm sure....have a great few days

I hope you feel better and warmer in the morning

I have had a great week for weight loss (down to 9.8) but it is purely because I have not eaten. I have been in a very low place due to mega stress at home. So really it's been the week from hell. i now seem to be turning a corner....but need to keep the weight off. i have eaten a lot more...

How is it going Lynne x

Lynne how are you x

Well I'm back on it again tomorrow. It's funny but all the hard work and worry for my team did not turn me to food even being away at conference for 4 days with work, did not make me turn to food...but I do have a story about food at the conference. but what has made me turn to food and put a...

Thank you for all your kind words. The poop is still hitting the fan but I am going to try to say on here. the good news is that even with everything that is going on...my weight is stabilised and I am pleased with that. Normally I would have hit the food when the stress started. i had to...

Thanks for your comments Ladies. i have not really said much on here but I have been mad busy with work over the last 6/7 weeks and just seem to be struggling to get on to read everyone's diaries. To give you an idea on how mad it is. I turned my work laptop on at 7.30 this morning and have...

Take it easy with the exercise you don't want to over do it. You will get back to your weight last year but this time in a healthy way. Good luck x

Come back Lynne

Had munchies all weekend and even chocolate today. Tomorrow back on track...the plan to have days of less than 1000 calories Monday to Friday

Lynne you ok

The munchies seem to come on once I get home. I can only assume that it is because I can run because it's dark. OH meant to be getting the treadmill out this weekend

It's good that we all keep trying...much better than walking away x

I have just read your post above and really I don't know what to say....other than we are here for you xxx

Keep the focus...those lower numbers will be yours very soon

I am so going to sort out some photos this weekend! my OH is against it...so I have had a low amount put in so I don't have the frozen look! And he has not noticed which is good and bad...but my pals have x

I've not heard about that..but could be for core strength maybe x

How did your evening finish?

Just caught up on your diary. Sorry I can't help with the books you are after x

So the weekend... Friday evening had friends over and had a mega amount of drink and nibbles (not good!). Saturday spent the day trying to fix the damage on the calorie front from the night before. Then Sunday woke up to one of my little westie dogs, passing away in her sleep overnight. So...

Where are you

You two are so funny with each other

Eaten loads of food today...normally I would be carb loading!!! For GNR tomorrow but having a year off :(

I think another 1 or 2 pound off and I will be there...but it's tough

Just caught up on your diary and you are doing so well. It's great that people are saying such nice things, it helps so much with our motivation. love that you are enjoying the running...it took me to year to get to like it...now I am grumpy if I don't run for a few days. Some runs are tougher...

One day to go to W I...good luck

Thank you Carrie...going to jump over and see how you are doing x

Welcome and good luck Poppy...we are all here to help each other

Hope you feel better after a good nights sleep x

It won't be long until you are home and watching the movies! have a great day

It did Katie....thank you! up early this morning for WI and another pound off...throughout my BMI would have hit 25 but NO! goodness how hard is it to have a BMI of 25?

It's been a tough week at work! Not had the time or motivation to come on here...sorry! But kept food under 2k calories and steps over 10k other than on one day.... It's been that bad now drinking wine...after a 4.5 mile run to rehydrate, wrong in know but needed

Mere what an amazing month that you will never forget....both for your adventure and the announcement xxx

The OH is not happy about it! had a long day for work yesterday. Left home at 5am back home at 9.30 at night. Today I have just had my head down working! been out for a 3 mile run...so that is 9 miles so far this week need to check calories and steps in a minute

How is your day?

Don't worry about the scales this week

Great stuff....11's 11's 11's

That little bit of weight is just an apple...so sounds like another great week

Oh I felt much better and clear my head from both days work issues. need to keep the weight off as going into the big brother house in September for a work event...and it will get videoed so need to look slim! I think that's my next motivation

Went out last night and did a 3 mile run...back out tonight for another 3 mile run (it was dark when I finished the run) where did summer go? finished on about 800 calories ..... Xxx

I know! It takes ages to come off (and is really hard word) but goes on very quickly

Sounds like a good plan...always best the OH does not know everything we do!

Hope you had a good day? X

Portal oops! Grrrr! last year had to use them with a long evening dress...not a good experience

Hope you have an amazing time x

Tried to down load but could not get it to link to my fitbit! X

Miss Mac...I will be following your success in phase 3. Live it up Baby and then it all starts!

I am thinking of moving to 5.2 but eating normal food on a weekend and fast days mid week. I just want to drop a few pounds over the next 2 months to have a buffer zone. My past mistakes have been to walk away from here, weighing and go to normal food full time and that has not worked. I...

I bet you are really looking forward to your week off? Xx

I got hit with that too this morning! Did it before dinner tonight.....over and done with xxx
