Hi Lynn, I'm not doing bad thank you :-) I made a decision that now I've got the bulk of my weight off (3.7 st to date) that I would start calorie counting for the last couple of stone! I've been doing really well and have been sticking to 1200 cals or under everyday. I have to say I've been...

Can I come for tea at yours when I'm on food again please?! :-) all your food looks so yummy and healthy! Well done you xx

Love your pics Katie :-) you're doing so well! Been away a few days so took me a while to catch up on your diary! Totally know what you mean by feeling bigger after having lost weight! I'm terrible for doing that. I think it's because after losing weight i take more time to look at my body and...

Wow that's absolutely amazing!! You should be so proud :-) you should post some before and after pics!! Well done you. How much more are you planning to lose? Xx

Hi everyone, not been on in a while! I will admit to being a bit naughty whilst been away from here! Got the hen do tonight so looking forward to that and having an indulging night off and then from tomorrow will be having a nice 100% stretch through May! I've been naughty but not too naughty...

Well done on another loss :-) love your contingency plan!! So much thought put into it. Can't believe you're on your last week!! Really hope everything works out well for you, which most definitely will :-) xx

Thanks Miss Mac, it does feel right and like you said you've done in the past I just know that is exactly what I'll end up doing!! Xx

Aw that sounds nice, may have to try that :-) yeah took a lot of thinking and weighing up but it feels right to not fight it and just enjoy myself for one night! I'm now looking forward to it too rather than dreading it which I have for a while! Xx

Thank you, that's exactly right and is exactly how I shall be seeing it :-) xx

Thanks :-) I've had a big think about the hen night next Sunday night and I've decided that I'm going to come off plan for it. I'll end up feeling left out if I don't and I want to be able to join in and feel part of it! Exante doesn't have to rule my life. I'm not doing it as a punishment so...

Hi guys, sorry not been on here much, had a very busy but fun Easter weekend!! I've been good though and weighed myself this morning:- Start weight 17.10 Today's weight 14.8 Total loss 3st 2Ib This weeks loss 3Ib I'm pleased with that. Must do more exercise though to try and help keep my...

Day 66. Hi everyone, having a good day today with no temptations floating through my brain! Have just realised though, I've got a hen do two week on Sunday which involves an overnight stay in Manchester!! Can't believe how quickly it has come round!! I'm really hoping I will be able to get...

Well done!! That's a great loss :-) keep going xx

Day 65 Hi everyone! Had another 100% day today! I've found today mostly easy but a couple of food thoughts this evening! I wanted to attack the fridge but I managed to stay clear! I'm in bed now, which is the best place for me xx

Wow that's amazing :-) well done you!! Sooo close to the 12s now xx

Hello and welcome! Good luck with your journey and hope your little one gets into the School! 35Ib isn't actually that much and can be achieved so quickly by sticking 100% to TS! Good luck :-) xxx

Well done on getting back into it! That 9Ib will drop off in no time!! You've done so well to only put 9Ib on! I could put that on just by going on holiday for a week haha xx

Good luck!! Is it only two more weigh ins now then after tomorrow? Xx

Yeey that's great :-D such an achievement!! You can start wearing them now rather than waiting to wear them! You'll have to find a different item of clothing now to keep trying on to replace the jeans ;-) xx

Aw that's great :-) makes it all worthwhile when you see good losses! Xx

Hi Suzie! Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Good to see your back :-) hope you enjoy your breakfast eggs tomorrow xx

Happy birthday Darcy!! Hope you enjoyed your chicken salad :-) xx

Back to work tomorrow :-( only for 2 days though and then another 4 days off for Easter :-) It will be my first Easter without any eggs!! Had another perfect 100% day today :-D only another 9 week and 6 days to go xx

No I don't mind you asking at all! I've been doing it 9 weeks now and I'm bang on 3 stone loss as of this morning. :-D xx

Another glorious day and another day off work :-) Just finished cleaning the rabbit out and I'm now going to mow the lawns! Should get some exercise out of all this :-) xx

Hope your feeling better! Well done on your 7Ib loss! That's a great start, especially when you had to eat some of the time too, well done :-) xx

Had a lovely day today at Roundhay Park. DD took a friend and they had great fun! We took a picnic and I wasn't bothered in the slightest at joining in eating it! Didn't even take a bar or shake with me which means I've now got 3 meals to fit in before today's out yum!!! Having a hot shake with...

16 days is nothing MM!! That will so fly by :-) xx

Hope so :-) xx

Have today and tomorrow off work and the weather is beautiful :-) going to take DD and Roxy the dog to meet my sister and baby niece at Roundhay Park. Should hopefully get lots of steps in! Have a nice day everyone xx

Good luck on restart Lynn!! I had a minor blip the other day and fingers crossed I think I'm now over it and back on track! If I can do it anyone can! Xxx

Day 63, week 9 Start weight 17.10 Today's weight 14.11 This weeks loss 1Ib Total loss 2.13Ib I have managed to loose 1Ib this week. I am so disappointed in myself as this week could have been so much better but never mind I'm back on track and with a bit of luck will pass the dreaded 3st...

Those hungry days are a bummer and can be testing at times! Sounds like you are doing well though :-)

Sorry meant to say food not good and also put Katie instead of Suzie!! Doh, sorry Suzie :-) xx

Thank you everyone :-) I am so pleased to be able to report that I've been 100% again today and my mind is also back to being good and focused again, phew!! Not sure where I went wrong there but like Miss Mac said, it was most definitely something to do with introducing the good week! :-/...

Hello and welcome :-) 3 stone in 3 months is totally doable! That's what I'm going for too now, already lost just short of 3 so I'm very almost halfway through my journey!! Good luck and I look forward to reading how you get on xx

Yeah I definitely have it out of my system now and feel good again :-) here's to another 10 week TS and then that will be it for good!! Doesn't sound too long :-D I think your definitely right with the food week! It was Exante suicide for me. Definitely not going to have another one now. 100%...

Good for you MM!! Not long now and it will all be over for you :-) you have and still are doing amazing!! Xx

Thank you :-) am totally back in it today xx

Exante diet has well and truly gone out of window, been very naughty today! Don't know what's wrong with me. Going to hopefully get back on it 100% tomorrow . Feel like I've ruined everything but hey ho, can only blame myself!

Thanks MM. You are so right! I've had the day from hell today diet wise and I gave in :-(( I crumbled and ended up eating. I didn't get to eat much though as my stomach got full really quickly. I still feel terrible though and like a total failure, I'd reached day 61! I have to tell myself that...

That's not a bad idea!! Well done on losing over 3st! That's really good xx

Hi Lynn, hope things are well with you and your doggy is recovered xx

Know how you feel! I'm just taking it a day at a time and plodding on through lol ! The more I stick to it now, the quicker I will reach goal xx

Day 60 today! I have to admit that each day feels to be getting harder for me! I think it's because the weight loss is slowing down and I'm generally just becoming fed up with it all! Hope I start to pick up again with my determination soon because I can't see me sticking to it until June when...

Haha, good to hear you enjoyed them!! I was same, the word "egg" is a bit off putting but they really are good! Xx

Thanks Katie. I'm not the most photogenic of people! Still got a long way to go though before I will start to feel better about myself xx

Excuse the socks! Oh and the bad hair day :-/ xx

And this is the latest picture of me. Just 2Ib off at 3 stone loss xx

Feel like I need to help make myself feel a bit better so I decided to put on a before picture. I don't have a picture of me at my absolute biggest. I'd already lost a stone when this pic was taken but I still look mahoosive!! Xx

Hello and welcome! Well done for getting through day 3 :-) it will slowly start to get easier now you done the 3 day itch! Keep us updated on how you get on xx

Aw wow, you look stunning! You are going to make a beautiful bride :-) xx

Aww wow you look amazing :-) you have transformed yourself!! Congratulations xx

Thanks Miss Mac xx

I'm having a really miserable day today and feel generally rubbish! I have ended up having two bars and a shake today! I know they don't recommend having more than 1 bar a day so I hope I won't have ruined any weight loss by doing it. I just feel like I've had enough and gave in to what I...

They look yum!

Hi Suzie! Hope your day has gone well xx

Wow 12 hours! You beat me, I thought I was badly done to with a 10 hour shift! Bet you're excited for your cruise now :-) I've got another 10 and a bit weeks to wait for mine! Xx

Hi Lynn, well done on the loss! Hope your dog if feeling better soon :-( it's an awful feeling having a poorly dog xx

Last food day now, back to 100% TS tomorrow!! Can't wait, don't like food haha xx

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow!! Xx

Haha, I hope I don't let you all down! Xx

I make mine as an omelette and it goes nice a big! When I first made one though I thought I'd be starving afterwards but I was surprised how filling it was! Xx

Woohoo for the eggs! Have you tried them yet? I'm in love with them! Xx

Thanks everyone, I just need to keep reminding myself of how far I have come so far and what I've achieved to date. I can't expect 3-4 Ib losses every single week. Some weeks are going to be better than others! I've done well with the extra calories today and stuck to plan which is really good...

Good luck Katie, it's certainly do able :-) xx

Hi Suzie, well done for not giving in to the evil food thoughts!! just having an extra bar shouldn't do you any harm and if it saved you from rading the food cupboards then defo a good choice :-) Hope you have a good day tomorrow xx

Aw so glad you managed to find an alternative! Phew. Let us know how you get on! Xx

Thanks Suzie! I made a decision this morning to introduce food week - only for 3 days though in the hope it may kick start my metabolism! So today I've had 4 light baby bells and 200ml of unsweetened almond milk which takes me to just under 200 cals. I'm going to eat these again for another two...

Day 56 - week 8 Start weight 17st 10Ib Today's weight 14st 12Ib Total loss 2st 12Ib Total loss this week 1Ib Won't pretend that I'm not disappointed with this weeks loss of 1Ib :-( I'm never going to get to 3st off at this rate!

Hi Katie, wow so much has happened for you over this weekend! The joy of your holiday next year but then your poor daughter! Glad she's feeling better and hope she gets well enough to go away on Thursday! The holiday sounds absolutely amazing!!! Glad you've got back on TS and what a huge...

Hi Suzie, well done for staying strong!! Hope it starts getting easier for you soon and well done on your weight loss!! Every pound adds up xx

Hi Lynn, great to see your determination is back :-) good luck!! 4 stones sounds a bit drastic haha, there will be nothing left of you but I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be when you go away in August if you keep this determination up :-D xx

Hi everyone, sorry been a bit quiet this weekend. Been so busy!! Still going strong though. Did lots of exercise today so hoping the scales will be kind to me at weigh in tomorrow! Got a feeling it's going to be a small loss this week though, feeling very bloated. Had a few food thoughts...

Aww no so sorry to hear about the exam issue with your daughter! That's absolutely terrible that you and your daughter have to be put through all this! Hope your daughter has a good time in Australia though and that you got to the airport ok! Hopefully everything will come good for you both in...

Hi guys! Going well again thank you! Feeling hungry again today though but suppose these days do come to test us! Going to have Friday night breakfast eggs later this evening :-D oh the little things haha!! It's sad that i get so excited about having my favourite pack but suppose that's what...

Hope you feel better tomorrow Miss mac! Xx

Both those dresses are lovely!! Hope you fit in the size 12 :-) Have a brilliant weekend! Xx

Aw your day out with daughter sounds lovely :-) How long is she going for? Bet she's so excited! I'm terrible when my DD's father takes my DD on holiday once a year, I always cry for the first day, I hate it! Feel like she's too young to be separated from me! She's 8 now and I'm hoping it will...

Hello and welcome back :-) You shouldn't be so hard on yourself! You've definitely made the right choice to join back into the forum! Keep us updated with your progress. Good luck :-)

Thanks! Over the moon :-D just wish I could crack open the champers!! Will have to make do with sparkling water instead ;-) xx

Day 51! Had a hungry day today but I've been more active than normal so I'm putting it down to that! Did that much cleaning at work today (the cleaner (my beloved mother) is away on hols so filling in for her) and I worked up a right sweat!! Plus it meant I had to start my day earlier than usual...

My god, that really would be a dream come true :-D I won't hold out though! Anything over 2 will be absolutely amazing for me! Xx

Really really hope so!! It would really make everything so worth while! Xx

Thank you :-) xx

Yey, If you like omelette then you won't be disappointed :-) xx

Haha Suzie, Exante have only just started selling them and they are doing them on offer for a pound each at the mo! Can definitely recommend them!! Xx

Woohoo!!! That's amazing, so happy for you :-) Well done!! At this rate you may get to see 12s before you reach the end of your TS journey! Xx

You should definitely go for it!! Does not matter what age you are, it's irrelevant! Glad you had a good weekend :-) your gain will just be water and you'll get rid of that in no time! Glad to hear you got straight back in!! Xx

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow :-) xx

Hi Lynn, hope you've managed to climb back on the Exante wagon! Xx

The end is now in sight :-) you're so close!! Lucky you. I agree that the maintaining after the loss and sticking to the foods you know you should eat is the hardest part! You'll do it though and you'll have to keep some packs to one side for times when you may put a couple of pounds on so you...

Sorry to hear about your son yesterday, hope he is well again. You have done sooo well sticking to plan with everything that went on over the weekend and it's only going to make you stronger!! Well done on your 3Ib loss and don't worry about the 1Ib gain, if you've stick to plan the it's just...

Your doing excellent Suzie!! Well done of getting rid of the re-gain!! It's all down from here now :-D xx

Day 50!!! Yessss I have managed to reach day 50!! Can't believe it, such an achievement for me! I can finally see light at the end if the tunnel now as I've come so far! Just the thought of having all the weight to lose before was enough to panic me and give in and think I can't do it!! But I...

Thank you Miss Mack :-)

Had a great day today thanks! Been kept nice a busy :-) Tried the breakfast eggs today and made an omelette out of the mixture. Sooo good and really filling too! Will defo look forward to having that again. Also tried the mint chocolate shake and loved that too xx

Thanks :-) I am so glad I didn't give in. I know if I did that would be the end of Exante for me! my wedding is 1 August 15 so it's a long way off yet!

Day 49 - week 7. 100% TS Start weight 17.10 Today's weight 14.13 Total loss 2st 11Ib Total loss this week 4Ib Lost 4Ib this week : -D really happy with that!! So glad to see the back of the 15s now. I'm over the moon! It's been a while since I saw 14s - about Summer 2012 as I was putting...

Pasta carbonara is absolute yum!!! Great comfort food for me

I know it's weird isn't it how one day you can be on top of the world and the next crying out for every single food that's within reach!! I'm so glad I don't feel like yesterday, was horrid! I've bought myself a white lacy short sleeved top and a maxi skirt that's brown and beige striped, they...

Thank you everyone! Doing much much better today! Only just sitting down to have my first meal of day, a choc orange bar with a coffee. Had a nice busy morning, my DD bought me a gift card for Dorothy Perkins (courtesy of OH) bless her. So me and DD went shopping this morning and I bought...

Sorry should have said 2Ib a week not 1!! Xx

7Ib is a good loss Darcy! It's almost 1Ib a week over the month which is good and steady! Hope you're enjoying your weekend xx

Glad you had a good day Katie! You'll be down that pound before you know it :-) xx

Thanks guys! I've taken myself to bed now! I thought a nice early night may do me good! The sooner I go to sleep the sooner I can eat again tomorrow haha. I held in there though and have not cheated so for that, I am very proud of myself! Xx

Aw know how you feel about the jeans! I have a size 18 maxi dress that I love and adore and it's so baggy on me now but I insist on getting more wear out of it haha. Have even been wearing it when it rains with a cardigan over. Been getting funny looks in School playground haha but I don't...

Thanks Miss Mac. I feel a bit better now. I ended up taking my frustration out on scrubbing the bathroom clean haha. I'm going to treat myself to a red hot bath now that it's freshly clean! I remember you struggling around the 50 Mark, it is a coincidence isn't it!! Maybe it's the 50 day itch...

I'm starting to slowly feel a bit better after finishing my third pack followed by a pint of water. I'll see how I get on because the evening is still young! Normally I'd still have another pack to go yet but because I'm having such a bad day, I've eaten everything quite early to try keep myself...

Aww bless you, not a great day for you! Hope your doggy and cat are ok and your not too scratched!! Glad to hear you've found a way to get the turkey dinners down! I'm having a terrible day today, hope tomorrow is better for both of us! Xx

Would it kick me out of ketosis if I had an extra bar today? I've had all three of my packs now. I think today is the worst I've felt since the start!! It's taking every ounce of my strength not to grab the loaf of bread in the kitchen and go wild! xx

Aww your little puppy is soo cute!!! Well done on getting back into it and feeling good again :-) xx

Really struggling today :-( can't stop thinking about food. I feel like I really need to have something to eat but I know that I'll deeply regret it afterwards!! I know I won't cave because I've come so far but I really hate it when I get like this!! Just drinking loads of water. My mum n dad...

Day 46 and another successful day :-) not felt hungry in the slightest today! Didn't even have my first pack until 4pm as I was so busy at work . Tried the white chocolate and raspberry shake today Suzie! Enjoyed it! Reminded me of raspberry ripple ice cream. Prefer the chocolate cherry but...

Oh I so hope the weather does get warmer and sunnier soon. Been miserable where I live xx

I can't believe I went so long without trying them! Gona try spaghetti bolognaise in my next purchase, see how that goes!

Excellent :-D glad you had a good night!

Welcome and good luck! Keep going.. The first week is always the hardest as you will probably know from last time and then it gets much easier xx

Just had the red bean chilli for the first time and that was a great hit too :-) yum yum I feel like I've had a comfort food day today xx

Yey to the weight loss and almost losing what you'd gained :-) Nice to hear you're back in the zone :-) Just tried the choc orange bar and OMG I was in heaven! Sooo satisfying xx

Yet they have arrived :-) The chocolate cherry shake OMG it's soooooo good!! Feels really naughty drinking it!! Having some of it in a coffee and my god, it's amazing!! Can't wait to try other stuff that I haven't tried yet! I feel like I'm on a new diet ;-) Just going to tuck into a chocolate...

Hi Lynn, hope today went well for you xx

Well done for not giving in tonight Katie! You have done really well to resist all the temptation put in arms way today! You definitely made the right decision to not go with hubby for meal tonight! You have the rest of your life to do fun things like that after you've got this little stretch...

Thank you! We all seem to be getting some of that fairy dust lately! So many good losses by everyone xx

Glad to hear you're feeling positive Darcy :-) and got your cable sorted out!! You sound like you're doing well :-)

Aww MM I'm soo pleased for you :-D I'm so happy that you got to see 13s this week!! Loving your plan, such a great way to look at it! I might do something similar to this, just to help control my weight at the end by having a maximum weight allowance and then reigning in to not go over it, fab...

Aw sorry to hear you're not too keen on turkey dinner. I didn't like it the first time I had it either but then it grew on me and it's become one of my faves now! I find that the less water I use the better, nice and thick is the way for me with that one! Good luck with your daughters exam...

It's great to see your back on the zone Twinkle, good for you :-) you'll be at target in no time! Xx

Thanks guys! Had another good day :-) so that's day 44 done and dusted! No Suzie my packs still haven't arrived lol, I'm holding out for tomorrow now!! Have you tried the turkey dinner yet? I keep looking and admiring my "thin" wardrobe and that's what seems to be keeping he going! It's funny...

Good luck for tomorrow Lynn xx

Definitely :-) xx

Well done Miss Mac, good for you! You certainly have the right attitude! I have every faith that you will see this through to the end! Of course you will :-) Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow! Really hope you see 13s you definitely deserve to xx

Day 43. Another day done :-) Can't believe how I allowed myself to get so big and the effort I'm having to make in order to correct it! I've done so well but the only bit that gets me down is that I've only made a small dent in how much I actually need to lose! Oh well, each day I stick to...

Well done on the 5Ib loss so far this week, that's amazing!! The Turkey Dinner is my fave hot meal. It reminds me of a chicken and mushroom pot noodle to taste. I've had them every night for the last 3 weeks lol! Can't wait for my new sachets to come though so I can have a nice change xx

Wow that's a lot of steps yesterday :-) well done on being another 1Ib down!! Xx

Well done on your 4Ib loss Katie!! That's really good :-) we're getting closer and closer every week!!! Xx

Thanks everyone! I was well chuffed! Had another good day but can't wait for my new packs come! There is only so much Xmas pudding and turkey dinners one woman can take lol! Gone off the hot meals at mo, I've ordered a load of different flavour shakes to keep things varied for a while!

Day 42. Week 6 - 100% TS. Start weight 17st 10Ib Current weight 15st 3Ib Loss this week 5Ib!!!! Total loss to date 2st 7Ib!!! OMG I have managed to lose 5Ib this week!! I seriously cannot believe it :-D I'm hoping I may see the14s next week with a bit of luck!!! Hope everyone else has had...

Thanks guys :-) your support really does mean a lot! This forum really has been a saviour for me and has helped me plod along so much! I'm just gona keep plodding on now until all my excess weight melts away xx

I managed it!!! Not a morsel passed my lips :-D so proud of myself!! I can and WILL see this diet 100% till the end! xx

Thanks everyone! One good thing I have thought to myself this morning though is normally I'd see today as an excuse to eat and go wild then I'd lapse and find it really hard to get back into it. Thus time though I've come a long way because I actually really do not want to eat and I'm trying to...

Yeah they know, they just don't understand. They think it will be fine to just break the diet for one day and then get back into it tomorrow. They think it's just me being silly by thinking it will cause me to lapse. They purposely chose Toby Carvery for me because meat and veg is healthy and...

Maintaining 2-3Ib losses every week is a great achievement! I wouldn't call that slow. They all add up :-)

Hey Miss Mac, it's good to come back on here after a couple of days and see you still going strong :-) reaching day 80 and beyond is absolutely amazing, well done you :-) xx

Thank you Katie :-) xx

Thanks Lynn, I will try my best :-D xx

Thanks Suzie! No rest for the wicked tomorrow though! Going to Toby Carvery for my mum n dads birthday and I'm panicking because I somehow need to get through the whole event without eating anything! It's mission impossible I know but gona give it a good go!! I have a plan and I just hope it...

Oh no so are you without a microwave now too? I'm getting a new one tomorrow thank god!! My OH has agreed to put his hand in his pocket ;-) I told him it's either that or I end up failing and he'd have to live with the guilt hehe! I've been living off shakes and bars, cooking them in a pan is...

Hi Sarah, welcome :-) you sound like you are doing really well!! I'm a naked daily weigher too :-/ can't drink any water until after I've weighed! I find that this works for me and keeps me on track! Good luck and here's to another 100% day tomorrow!

Well done for getting back on track Twinkle. Good luck for your weigh in next week! It won't take you long to get back to where you were before xx

Hi Nicy, Well done for not giving in! It can be really trying doing a diet like this! If you let your body go into ketosis then this should help with the overpowering hunger feeling and will help you be able to plod on a day at a time! Good luck on your journey and hope you have a good week :-) xx

Hi Darcy! Congratulations on getting to day 80 :-D that is absolutely amazing! You should be so proud of yourself!! Your going to look so lovely and feel so much more confident when you go on your cruise!! Enjoy your trip to Yorkshire! I'm a Yorkshire lass, lived here all my life (apart from a...

Well done on day 1 :-) good luck on your big stretch! There'll be nothing left of you by the time you're done ;-) Good luck xx

Hi Katie, you look amazing with a fringe! It makes you look younger and brings out your eyes! Sometimes it's just nice to have a change and be noticed by people in a good way :-) I get bored so easily with everything! Always changing my hair style and colour. Then I look back at pics and think...

Hi Lynn, sorry to hear your having a bad time with TS. Well done today though with what sounds like a successful calorie counting day :-) you'll get there with perseverance :-) xx

Hi everybody! Sorry I've not been on here for a few days. I've been so busy this week and not had 2 mins to myself! I'm good thanks and still going strong :-D I'm on day 40 today so I'm uber proud of myself! Will have a nice catch up with everyones diaries xx

Well done on your loss this week! Amazing :-) Enjoy the weekend! Just think how beautiful and slim you're going to look in that lovely wedding outfit :-) that should keep you in check at the weekend ;-) xx

Day 37. Another 100% day! Been mega busy and stressed at work today, would normally go straight for the chocolate and crisp cupboard on a normal day of feeling like this! Nipped to the post office this afternoon and normally I would always go to shop and buy myself a bag of sweets and my...

Well done for resisting!! I'm very familiar with that feeling ;-) xx

Well done on sts this week! That's really lucky :-) I put weight on just having a naughty dream about food lol never mind actually eating it! Good luck for next week! No more blowouts!! You'll end up wasting money buying packs otherwise. Good luck :-) xx

Hey Suzie, WS sounds like a good idea if you're going to have to break the diet on Friday anyway! Just have a really good night Friday and get it all out of your system and start afresh on Saturday! Xx

Hi Chubzy, good luck! Hope you managed to stay away from McDonalds xx

Don't do it! It might give her a taste for eating properly again and cause her to fall off the wagon! This diet can be really testing at times and extremely difficult but it would end up being for nothing if she comes off now! Does your gf subscribe to minimins? If not you should encourage her...

Hey MM! 1Ib is still a loss, it may be small but every pound in the right direction adds up! You've definitely got the right attitude so good for you :-) keep plodding on! May will be here before you know it xx

I get paid at the end of the month so will be able to go but one. Until then, it'll be in the pan. To be honest, tonight's meal didn't taste too bad done in the pan. So I'm sure I'll live for a few days. I'm definitely not allowing it as an excuse to come off TS anyway ;-) xx

Totally agree with Katie! You can't be so hard on yourself, pick yourself back up and start again tomorrow! Keep fighting and whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE IN!! Good luck xx

Well done on your weight loss this week! Lucky you, I only need to look at a piece of food and I gain a pound haha!

Sounds like you're doing well Darcy :-) well done! How many days are you at now? Xx

Haha, made me giggle xx

Hi well done on completing day 2! Good luck for tomorrow :-)

Day 36. Thanks guys :-) Had a really good day today and not really had any food thoughts which is good! My blooming microwave broke on me tonight though while making my Turkey dinner so ended up having to do it in the pan! Not the same but will have to get used to it until I can replace...

Hi L&S just caught up on your diary! Don't be too hard on yourself, you had a relapse but then picked yourself straight back up and got stuck in and that's the main thing.. Not giving in and fighting it. If you stick to packs / bars through day and have 1 low carb meal in evening then it should...

Hi Lynn, sounds like you've had a good 100% TS day today :-) well done! Ooooh Hilton, very posh! lucky you :-)) xx

Good luck for tomorrow! Looking forward to reading how you've done! Great that you received a compliment from Barbie girl too :-D xx

Aw it's so nice when people notice and compliment on weight loss. Such a confidence booster! I can't wait until people start to notice mine xx

Hi Suzie, yes I woke up this morning and my first thought was thank goodness I didn't cheat last night! Would have been heart broken! Hoping I'll be in better spirits today :-) very early but so far so good :-D xx

Well done for getting stuck back in Suzie! Mmmmm tiramisu, my favourite :-) Sounds like you enjoyed yourself this weekend but good for you for getting yourself back on track so easily xx

Well done Lynn :-) hope TS went well for you today xx

Wow, that's amazing Katie well done you!!! You must be well chuffed :-D

Haha yeah, that's how I roll ;-)

Thank you everyone! I'm struggling today to fight the urge to eat! I just feel like I really need to eat something :-( Hope I won't be like this for long and back to determined tomorrow! I drove past a fish n chip shop tonight and felt really down because I wanted some for my tea! I didn't...

Day 35 - wk 5 - 3Ib loss Start weight 17.10 Today's weight 15.8 Hi everyone, well I managed to lose 3Ib this week which I'm happy with :-) that's :Ib closer to goal!! Here's to the start of another 100% Exante week! Goal for the week - to reach wk 6 at 100% and lose another 3Ib xx

Wow that is determination made of steel!! I would not be able to promise I wouldn't cave at the smell of a fish butty right at my side! There's being strong and then there is a line! Well done you though, keep it up! Xx

Thank you :-D still going strong so can't be doing too bad! Xx

Haha, thank you! No thank god no BBQ would have probably cried!! I made OH and DD a roast dinner which I didn't feel jealous about and all leftovers have gone in Roxy's food bowl haha xx

You've hit the nail on the head there Katie! That is so true, never thought about it like that before! Xx

Thank you :-) I just keep imagining a skinny version of myself and how good I will feel! I just get so frustrated at times with it but it will all be worth it in the end .

Because he's greedy! He had paella at about 2.30pm today so when it got to 9 pm he was starving and so put a pizza in the oven.

Haha, I wish they wee! It's ok, I survived AGAIN - only just though xx

OH has just put a pizza in the oven, it's killing meeee!!! Smells so dam good. Not fair :-( really feeling it now, worse than ever!

Well done on getting back into it today Lynn! Take it one day at a time and watch those days turn into weeks xx

Tell me about it! I survived though and the leftovers are now in the bin! So no chance of me failing on that one..! Can't throw all this hard work away for a paella, it's just not a good enough reason haha xx

Really enjoying it, I don't have these often enough! Xx

Haha, definitely!! My OH would not dare order a takeaway! It would be an absolute sin to allow something like that through my front door haha! I'm hoping by the time I'm done with this diet that take away food won't appeal to me anymore but we'll se haha, probably asking a bit much there! Xx

Hi guys! Gave the gardening a miss today, it's too windy!! Having to endure the smell of my OH cooking himself a fish paella! Smells absolutely gorgeous.. It's killing me but I'm sipping on my water and will get through it like I always do! He never cooks either!!! Then as soon as I can't eat...

Well done, you're doing so well. :-) gona be exactly where you want to be on your wedding day if you keep this up! Good luck xx

Haha, gosh yeah I think I'd turn into a bottle of water! Xx

Thank you :-)

Hi Carly! Welcome and well done on your loss so far :-D Look forward to reading how you get on over the next few weeks! Good luck and hope you reach your target to be able to start IVF xx

Wow you can really see a difference on those photos! Your hips have shrunk loads! Well done :-)

Good luck for Monday Suzie! I hope you start to feel better soon xx

Congrats on reaching day 72 Darcy ! That's an amazing achievement!! You will be a whole new woman on your hols :-) xx

Yeah I've heard that! I tend to have about 2 litres on a really good day! I'm naughty most days and probably lucky if I manage a litre! I think I well and truly jinxed the weather, it's turned miserable :-( never mind!! I'll hold out for better weather tomorrow xx

Well done Katie, that's excellent news :-) xx

Day 32. I've started my day off with a pint of water, go me! I managed 4 pints yesterday so going to see if I can squeeze 5 pints in today!! Looks like it might be another lovely day today :-D finishing work at 3 so may mow the lawn at front and back of my house!! It's always a novelty at the...

Really hope so!!! Fingers crossed! Xx

Hi CrazyLady! Thank you :-D not sure how I've managed it myself tbh as normally I have zilch willpower hence the reason I got so big! M hoping that my brain will re-train itself how to eat like a normal person haha! I think at the moment my body is just plodding on and I'm taking it one day at a...

Well done, I'm going to seriously try!! I know it's bad but I'm just desperate to see those scales move! Xx

Hey miss mac. My WI day is Monday but I have to confess that I do weigh myself at least once a day! I can't help it, it's an impulse that takes over me haha :-/ You are so right though, it really can only go one way and that's why I'm staying determined! Xx

Hi Lynn, it's been good today thanks! Day 31 and still going strong! Hoping my weight loss will pick up again soon! I haven't lost anything yet this week so will be really upset if I sts this WI. Could understand if if been naughty but I've stuck 100% to plan since day 1! Made myself drink 4...

Well done on losing 11 Ib that's fantastic! I've only tried the mulled wine drink flavour and it's ok but nothing to shout home about! Very strong too, a little goes a very long way!

Well done, that's amazing :-)

Good luck! You can do this!! The scales can only go one way if you are good and stick to it :-) Try and weigh yourself in the same place each day. My scales do that too if I move them to the other side of my bathroom! Not sure why, it's weird. Might have something to do with slight uneven...

Thanks Miss Mac! I'm definitely going to keep at it! I don't have a choice. I'm rubbish on any other diet and desperate to lose the weight!! Hey ho, the things we put ourselves through ey! So worth it in the end though! NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS HOW THIN FEELS!! :-) Good luck with the...

Hi Lynn, I had some of it in a cup of coffee and had the rest on its own in a glass. I really enjoyed it which was great because I wasn't expecting to! Can't believe how little calories and carbs it contains! Yeah really hoping that it will drop soon, it's quite sole destroying and I'm soooo...

Sorry to hear you haven't been well Suzie ! Hope you start to feel better soon! Don't worry about TS at the mo. Your health is so much more important! Take care and get well soon xx

Well done on your 3Ib loss and getting into the 70s!!!! That's amazing, so hope I can stick to it for that long and even longer xx

Well done on your steps Lynn and on keeping to your calorie counting routine! Good to hear you sts, so much better than a gain :-) xx

Hi Katie! Well done for getting through day 1 :-) Sorry to hear about your Son! I hope you get some answers soon. The waiting around and not knowing can be very hard, I know how you feel. Good luck for 100% TS tomorrow xx

Aww haha, what a great day to have your birthday :-D My weight loss has totally plateaud :-( I haven't lost anything since Thursday last week and that's not right for me! Today I took the decision of adding 200 cals in the hope it might kick start my metabolism! I'm not going to do it for a...

Yes I agree, that's a very sensible idea!! If you manage it then you're much better than me ;-) I'm a serial weigher... First thing I do when I get up every morning!! The feeling sick from hunger will pass, I suffered with that, was horrid but I haven't felt that for a long time now so fingers...

Aw that's really good! How long gave you been on the diet?
