WHY?????!!!!!!! I was looking forward to having shepards pie since it was my favourite the first time around. They have completely changed the recipe. It was perfect before.

My last post was false start. But now I am back in, on day two and I have a COLD :(:(. I have been looking at pics from a couple months ago when I was lighter and I cant wait to get back to that. Unfortunately or fortunately, I don't have a scale. I moved because of work and I don't have a...

hiya, tomorrow is day 1. I just saw the weight creeping back on and I refuse to let myself get back to how I was. Frankly, I have started to feel god awful and sluggish :(:(. I want to fit back into all my cute clothes Luckily I have a months worth of pack left over from last time :)

Guess who's back, back again, Clover's back, tell a friend. Hey guys I am back for round 2 on exante . Not as heavy as I used to be but heavier than I want. Did really well during summer but as winter came in I started comfort eating and the weight started to pile on. So I am taking control...

Wow I haven't been on here for a while. I hope that everyone is well and continuing to reach their goals. So I got my test result back about my tummy trouble and I have the all clear. I guess it was just my body getting used to food again. In relation to my weight I did put some back on I went...

Hey guys I haven't posted in a while life has been hectic. I have been doing so so. I went on a crazy binge but now I have re focused on what I want and keep remembering how far I have come. This time last year i was soo depressed on my bday cause I didn't have the body I wanted. This morning...

@nattyclare78 I am feeling soo much better thanks. Had me weigh in yesterday morning and I stayed the same. This week I am dropping down to two products and upping the calories. This has been a whole learning process. I am hoping that my body is getting used to eating again and wont store the...

I've had a so so week. Had a really bad headache for three days. :( Don't know if it was introducing more foods into my diet but thankfully it is gone now. Been sticking to mainly chicken breast with vegetables for dinner apart from Thursday. Went out with the family and had some TGI. I went...

thanks @Darcy15 :) The week has been going well so far. Yesterday I went 0ver my calorie limit by 100 but I am not going to beat myself up about it. Its not like it was bad food it was vegetables. I tried the no carb rice yesterday and it was DISGUSTING!!! No taste, the texture just eww. Never...

No problem I am actually on my refeed journey at the moment. +1lb

One week post TS . I am not at home at the moment and I won't be for another two weeks. I had to weigh on a scale that's is different to mine. I've put on 1lb. I nearly went into panic mode and had to be reminded that my body is getting used to eating again. It's still not an easy fact to accept...

hiya. welcome like natalie said you will find loads of support on here. we are all going for the same goal so we cheer each other on. BTW you can do this xx

@womble35 thanks for the advice. Until doing this I didn't realise h0w much carbs were in veg. I've decided to add some chicken breast in so that I can get the protein and up my calorie intake. So my meal today was chicken breast, chopped tomato , mushrooms and courgettes. I finally had that...

Hey guys 2 days of re feeding done. I had cauliflower rice, tofu and a curry packet yesterday for dinner . It was okay, I haven't had that wow moment yet of everything taste better except for the courgette lol. I am soo paranoid about how much I will weigh on Sunday, I hope I don't put on too...

Welcome . You will find great support on the forum

how are you doing?

yay go darcy. I feels soo good being in the 100's and getting closer to your goals. I am soo chuffed for you :):):)

-1lb

Hi guys I did it :wee::wee: 25 weeks of TS. I never imagined that I would have done 25 weeks and lost 103lbs. This has been a complete challenge and journey. Losing weigh is something that I always wanted to do and now I have achieved it. I am soo not done on this journey and life style...

Thanks Darcy the support means lot to me. I am not home for my weight in tomorrow night I have no access to scale until I am back home next week Friday so I had my weight in today. I have lost 3 lbs so only 9lbs to go :D. I have all my products packed with me. I made ithe 24 weeks and 100%...

Ugh today has been a real struggle. For the whole week for some reason I have been feeling REALLY HUNGRY. After eating my meals packs I still felt hungery after and not satiated. I am hoping it's cause my mind know that I will be introducing food soon. Only got 8 more TS days to go. I WILL MAKE IT.

its so easy to get hung up on what the scales say that we forget the think about how much better we are feeling and how far you have come. Your doing so great and you have the motivation to keep going which is inspiring others including myself along. xxx

good to have you back. The diet will hopefully be easier with out the daily distractions xx

Hey guys. I have a great week this week. I am down 4lbs. Meaning I am now in the 13s :):):) and I have lost just over 7st. Only 12 lbs to go. I am not going to lie this diet is hard but once you have the determination and support you can do it. I did not think I would make it this far...

-4lbs

It has changed the way I view myself sometimes good and sometimes bad. When I look into the mirror I still see my self how heavy I was before and get very critical of my body. But there are sometimes days when I am like damn where has all the weight gone. I guess I just need my brain to catch up...

I DID IT!!!!! :wee::wee::wee::wee::wee::wee::wee: This morning I stepped on the scales and I have lost 4lbs this week, I am now 198lbs OMG!!!:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: I AM NO LONGER 200 and something pounds. I refuse to ever be over 200lbs ever again and that's a promise I have made to myself...

-4lbs

I hate when someone tells me I cant do something, it makes me even more determine. I love to prove people wrong. We can both do it.

after exante I want to get down to 10st just to see what I look like. my parents keep telling me that I would look too small but I just need to see it for myself.

Thanks Natalie. it just feels so good not to be the biggest in my family anymore. It was soo embarrassing. My parents and sister are so proud of how far I have come and I always have their support.

yay go darcy. btw I LOVE that red dress.

Hey guys week 21 Done!! Only 4 more weeks of TS to go. Not going to lie I was struggling this week, the food dreams came back with a vengeance lol. I lost 3lbs this week so I am down to 202lbs only 3lbs to go (hopefully next weigh in) till the 100's. I know I keep going on about it but its such...

Thanks guys. The closer it gets to the finish date the more I want normal food :(:(

I'm doing good. went to the cinema yesterday, hadn't been for nearly a year. I have been 100% TS all week , only got two work outs in cause my body was soo tired. -4lbs this week. I am hoping for a better work week. It has been crazy and stressful :(:(

Hey how is everyone doing?The weather is soo miserable it's making me cranky. I WANT SUMMER. work has been soo weird. Everyone has noticed how much weight I've lost and they are asking me how. I have avoided the straight answer cause I know how most people feel about vlcd and I don't feel...

= I am always looking forward to the next stone mark. It keeps me going. I spent the weekend out this week as I had a family dinner. While my family was eating TGI and sipping on cocktails, I was calmly sipping on my sparkling water . I EVEN pushed the boat out and had a coke zero :p. I...

Had to weigh a day late as I wasn't home -3lbs

Don't be too hard on yourself. It is still more than you would have lost on a conventional diet. It's better to be 25lbs lighter than heavier. :):)

welcome back

Fitness blender is amazing. I work up a really good sweat, it gets a bit addictive. Went back to work today, thankfully I didn't have to do any over time. Got out of there as fast as I could as soon as the boss said I can leave lol. My rolls are going :):). I have been rocking a short hair style...

:wee:in the 15s :wee: OMG I have not been this low in about 4 years, this feel so weird. Lost 5 lbs this week which is really surprising since it was TOTM.I am now getting close to my goal. I finally feel like I can reach it. I had a really good weekend as well went to get my hair done with my...

yaya im the 15s ( just barely ;)) but I am here.

- 5lbs this week

Cant believe my week off work is over :(:(:( I thought that it would have been harder to get all my water in this week but it actually wasn't too bad. I managed to do some form of exercise everyday this week. Next week is going to be another story. I AM going to make sure I do at least 3 next...

I did Cambridge a few years ago. I just found the counselling sessions a bit gimmicky (but that just my opinion). I have actually found greater support on here, and I have been doing food research myself.

Don't worry take it a day at a time. Make everyday better than the one before. X

Not for me but I usually follow the same formula everyday unless I am off work.

Ohh I wish I could go travelling. Don't worry about the gain it just means you are gonna have a massive loss. X

I have had two lovely days off work. Got two 50 mins kettlebell workouts in already and have been 100% Ts. The weather has been soo crappy. Why is there friggin hail storms in APRIL :(:(

Hi guys been a bit AWOL this week. I had to do soo much overtime for work cause we were short staffed. I only managed 1 work out :oops::oops:I was so damn tired. But I am on a weeks holiday now:banana_dancer::banana_dancer: . So I will be working out more. I am actually think of staying...

5 lbs to go till I am out of here

-4lbs this week

@MrsN . I am going to be making salads about 100-200 calories. Just so my body can get used to having food again. I will still be having my 3 packs, will be doing that for about a week. Then I will start fazing out the amount of packs week by week and including more cooked food. I feel loads...

Gonna miss you on this board. Deffo keep us updated. Your gonna reach your goal in no time :):):)

wow u can really tell the difference in your face.

-3lbs this week. I have had a great week health wise, work is a different story. I have started my exercise routine this week. I am aiming to do that 3-5 times a week since my arms are starting to look a bit flabby lol. I had two exercise buddies yesterday my 11 yr old niece and 2 yr old...

-3lbs this week

I haven't got the time or the money to go to the gym, so if its free and it works, I am not going to complain lol

its a channel on YouTube that has LOADS of free fitness videos. They have weight training, cardio, yoga....... check them out.

I WORKED OUT TODAY. After a tiring day at work I was determined to exercise. so I put my exercise clothes on and put my phone on fitness blender. I did a 20 mins and I nearly died. lmao

:woohoo:I'm in the 16s :woohoo: I have lost 3lbs this week making me 16.11. I haven't been this low in 3 years and I have more weight lost,than to go :) :) I was planning to get some exercise in last week but my hips were so painful. I have never had hip pain before, it was such a struggle to...

I lost 3lbs this week. that took me down to 16.11

hi I have arrived lol

bye guys

-3lbs this week

I am just going to go back to taking it one day at a time and trusting in my body. I am already further than I thought I would be at this stage.

this week ive lost 2lbs I am just one pound away from being in the 16s. On the negative side ive got a cold again and had my TOTM this week :(:( btw thanks for the pep talk guys. I will try to be less obsessed with the scales and concentrate more on how I feel.

bye. I will hopefully be joining you next week

well done @enlightenme2 . I bet it feels good there lol -2lbs for me this week

Hi guys I know that I have done really well so far but I still have the fear that I wont reach my goal in the next 15 weeks. I am trying to see if I can get done in the next 10 but that would mean losing 5-6lbs a week which is not realistic. 15 weeks means only 3-4lbs which I doable. I try not...

well done, I am so happy for you. :thankyouthankyou::thankyouthankyou:

Keep going. I know that it can get frustrating , just take it one day at a time. Trust in the system and your body. We are always here if you want to have a good rant. *hugs*

you can do it. Then you can come back and tell me what its like to be in the 16s. You always need a spy on the other side lol

The only exercising I do is walking. Its a 40min round trip to work and I tend to go on a 20 mins walk during lunch to get some fresh air. I really couldn't tell you what the secret is trust me I would if I could lol . I am just letting my body do its thing and keeping a positive mind lol...

I am 3lbs from being out of the 17s. It seems like everyone has a weight that they just cant get out of. For me its the 16s. I always get down to the low 16s and then the weight creeps back up. Well not this time lol

The chocolate temptation is soo hard to resist especially this time of year lol. How has your day been going?

hey guys I have been doing well, apart from a bit of an upset tummy yesterday. This four day weekend has been heavenly.:):). I weighed in this morning and I am down 7lbs. I only have 3lbs to go till I am in the 16s and have lost 4st. I am nearly half way to where I want to be (for now). So I...

-7lbs this week

@Darcy15 well done. Soon we will be hitting that 4st @sybersadie I am always pleased when I see that scale go down , even if its a little

@Darcy15 what was your loss this week? @MrsN thanks I literally take it one week at a time. I still have a lot to go but I cant forget how far I have come.

YYYYAAAASSSSS you go girl. -1lb for me

Hi guys feeling a lot better, I think I was over tired as well. Been doing lots of over time as other staff were off ill. I weighed in this morning, only lost 1lb. I am not that bothered some weeks are going to be slower than others, as long as I get to my end goal. I AM SOOOO looking forward to...

Another work week done :). I have been fighting a God awful cold for the whole week. You don't appreciate being able to breathe until you cant.

wow you look amazing. can I ask how tall you are?

Thanks the time is going by soo quickly. I cant believe I have been on this journey for 2 months now. I am hoping to reach my goal by the middle of June

I have finally in the 17s. I haven't been this low in about 2 yrs. I cant wait to see the 16s

- 4lbs this week.

I AM IN THE 17's :wee::woohoo:. I lost 4lbs this week and I am 10lbs from my first goal weight.

Oh wow . I BET it was soo nice to go island hopping. I could do with some sunshine myself, England is soo depressing sometimes.

hey I am on 18 now hoping to be in the 17's on my next weigh in

We have some of those on the island. Where did u stop off on your cruise?

I am actually from the Caribbean so I am SOOOOOO looking forward to going home. I want to take more trips around Europe as well but unfortunately the job I have now doesn't pay that well.

I've had a great few days, been busy with work. This week has really flown by. I am already planning my Caribbean break for December :):). Gives me something extra to look to

I have had a good day today, been running around with the family as its mothers day. Had my weigh in this morning. Ive lost 4lbs. I am only 1lb away from 3st. I cant wait to see the 17's next week :):):):):)

I've lost 4lbs this week

I am sure your weigh in will go great tomorrow. Fizzy water is my saviour especially since still water gets BORING.

I am happy someone else feels my pain. Misery love company lol. So something weird is happening to my body at the moment. I started my TOTM a few days ago and I haven't had to take any painkillers. I have been having a cycle for about 12 years now and I have ALWAYS had to take something, the...

Hi guys so far I am having a good week. I have been 100% TS and have been drinking 4-6 litres of water a day. BUT OMG AM I COLD. I am soo cold all of the time. I have taken to sleeping with two duvets and a hot water bottle and I am still freggin cold :(.

thanks everyone I am really happy with how things are going. If I keep going this rate I will get to my target weight in the next 18 weeks

What does it entail?

my goal weight is 183lbs so that's 13st

Thank you. I didn't believe it at first. Had to step on and off the scales a few times lol.

This week has been very hard. All I wanted to do is eat chicken, chocolate and all the food I used to eat. But I stayed 100%. This week I have lost 7lbs I am getting closer to my goal.

-7lbs this week Well done enlightenme2. Every pound is a step closer to the goal :)

TOTALLY agree about work. Its just stress on top of stress. Can't believe I am on week 6. Only 19 more weeks to go. I have a feeling they are going to go really quick.

wow it seems that 3 is the luck number this week

Hiya I have been on TS 5 weeks now. Still got another 20 to go

-3lbs

urgh last week was just God awful at work. Had to do so much over time when I already work long hours. On the plus side I am down 3lbs this week which puts me in the 18s. I am hoping that I have a better week at work.

Hi everyone. Had a VERY stressful two days at work, but I was 100% TS. If that has been a few weeks ago I would have stress eaten massively. Changes are happening :)

@May45 does that mean I am not as sweet lol (sorry I couldn't help myself) Thanks for the encouragement

thanks everyone. Knowing that I have you all behind me has been a great support. I honestly don't think I would have made it to week four with out all of you. I am looking forward to see what the scales will say next week. I am way ahead of where I thought that I would be.

Only lost 1lb this week. As long as the scale is not going up I am happy. In four weeks I've lost 27lbs. I am looking forward to the next 4.

1lb of this week for me. Every little counts. @SammyE well done. :woohoo:

Oh wow. That look soo exciting and a welcome break when all of this is done. Roll on September!!!

I had a good day today was 100% TS . I stayed in bed for the most of the day as I still had that headache. I thought headaches were meant to be in the first week :confused: Weigh in tomorrow, I am always nervous the day before. Gonna be doing some positive thinking lol.

ohh where are you planning to go on the cruise?

hi and good luck :)

hi @Darcy15 today was alright except for the god awful headache I had for most of the day. So glad that it the weekend.

hi @Darcy15 im doing good. Just that today I been feeling a bit off for some reason. Hopefully I am just feeling tired and not coming down with anything. thanks @smidge87 I keep going by thinking where I am gonna be in a months time

thanks @Becg88 . the stomach noises weren't too bad today lol. How far along are you on your journey. @sybersadie I've been looking in to the low carb vegan recipe's. Sugar is soo addictive isn't it. I was a big Haribo fan , as a matter of fact ANYTHING with lots of sugar.

well done @May45 and @enlightenme2 the hard work is paying off

I've had a busy day at work. but have been doing good on the diet or should I say lifestyle change. I am already thinking of how I will maintain when I have finished. I have been leaning towards vegan/vegetarian. Call me weird but being vegetarian for a year is on my bucket list. So I have been...

Hiya I am on a different VLCD to you but I like lurking around the different forums. You are doing great so far. The months are just gonna fly by. Just remember never to look a cup cake in the eye. That's how they get you lol.

well done Bronte. its great to see the results for all the hard work you are putting in!

SOOOO I am a massive idiot that cannot count. I was going through what I have lost realising I haven't been counting right. :oops: I have actually lost more than I have thought.

Just weighted in lost 5lbs this week. was really worried because of my period. I am expecting for the losses to slow down to 3-5 pounds each week. I am gonna make this week even better than the last. Onwards and down wards.

lost 5lbs this week

dayum u look like a different person

has it been easy to maintain that weight?

wow well done on jumping back on the wagon. How has it been going?

I have been watching loads of Netflix and amazon prime

Do what ever suits you. Especially since it is not a regular thing.

Thanks Darcy. I did have a good day back at work just had to catch up on some things I missed while I was off on training. I am just ordering the next months worth of food (Seriously cant believe where the time has gone), but to my disappointment the apple and cinnamon porridge is not there:(...

KFC. my family had it the other day for dinner and it smelt sooooo good.

I weigh once a week. Weight tends to fluctuate too much for my liking. Plus it gives me something to look forward to.

I am 2.5 weeks in. still got 93lbs to go

Hello. I have just seen your diary and I'm joining to support. You are doing such a good job. Weight loss is a journey. one bad day does not a ruin a week of good.

wow well done on the steps! Getting that many in, in a day is no easy feat.

Had a good day today (apart from the cramps :oops:). Was on another training day but my stomach was not making those loud embarrassing noises. THANK THE LORD. aaaannnnd its nearly Friday :woohoo::woohoo:

Welcome and good luck. A trick that has helped me is drinking 500mls every two hours from the time I wake up till the time I go to sleep. If I didn't there is no way I would be able to get all that water in LOL

I am such an embarrassing moment today. I was on a course and my stomach would not stop making noises. It was SOOO loud and it would not stop. TMI... I am on my period. I don't know how that will affect my weight loss for this week. Will have to wait till weigh day to see.

coconut. OMG the coconut

I am hoping to emulate the same success once I am finished.

wow this is seriously my inspiration. I want to lose the same amount of weight in the time frame you have. How has the maintaining been?

In the 19s is anyone else in the same boat as me?

@May45 your welcome. We all need some encouragement cause this is not easy.

thanks at @sybersadie So this month I am challenging myself to lose 15-20lbs. I don't know if I am setting my sights too high, but if I don't set a goal I might get complacent.

Thank you I am well chuffed. Does anyone know what has happened to @CroydonGal

I am the same as @sybersadie with sticking to water. I get paranoid that something will knock me out of ketosis

:woohoo::woohoo:You look great

wow good on you. I bet that u are so proud of yourself

okay thanks

How do I get more lines in my signature? Thank you

I don't think these work anymore :(

well done. I bet your gonna have another great month

Every day can either bring you closer to your goal or further away from it.

12lbs

Ive been on the diet for about two weeks. Some of the products at the start were really a struggle but I have found that my taste buds are changing. But the Indian daal is deffo one of my favourites and so is the shepherds pie. Good luck on your journey.

I am happy that I am not the only one that has had them. lol. Had my weigh in today and lost another 6. Onwards and downwards I go. :):)

-6lbs this week

Hi Claire congrats on all your loses. I am a few pounds heavier than you, will deffo be keeping an eye on this for inspiration.

Another week nearly over. :) The only thing is.. I wish that I would stop dreaming about food.:mad::mad::mad: I keep dreaming about eating pasta and it tasted soo good. Why is my brain doing this to me?

I'm in the 20s nearly to the 19s anyone else in the same boat?

thank you. I am hoping for a good loss this week. Obviously not as much lol

wow everyone is achieving such good loses. Its feels nice to know that clothes that were snug a few weeks ago are getting loose.

I started a week ago. So far so good. The amount of water means that I am going to the loo all the time but on the plus side my skin is looking lovely.

wow you can totally do it again. I'm looking forward to seeing your new pic when u reach your goal again.

wow u look amazing. Shows what hard work and dedication can do.

Week one is over. I was so nervous to step on the scales. But this week I have lost 12lbs:D:D:D:D I could not be happier. Two pounds off from a stone and from being in the 19's. I am hoping for a 4-6 pound loss this week. Wish me luck.

Week one and I've lost 12lbs!!! I am over the moon.. Ps well done bronte

Hey guys. I'm on day 6. I have been feeling good a part from a really dry mouth. I am hoping that I will see a lose of the scales on Sunday. I was wondering has anyone tries the scones if so, how long do you have to eat them?

I've just finished day three. I am in the same boat but with more weight to lose. YOU HAVE GOT THIS.

wow well done. The next weigh in will be even better!! x

I am day three. I love the shakes. I'm getting used to the bars. The soups are and some of the hot food are palatable. BUT I am trying to eat the beef and black bean hot meal. And the struggle is real :(:(:confused:

Thanks guys for the support. Day two is done and so far so good. Trying to make everyday better than the one before. I believe we can meet and pass our goals. Sometimes enough is enough. xx

So this year I am turning 25 and I REFUSE to be the weight I am now, Currently I am the heaviest weight I have ever been at 20st 13lbs!!! I am challenging myself to get rid of 6st by my birthday which is in 7 months. I will be doing weekly updates and weigh in to keep myself accountable.

I've started today so my starting weight is 20.13 . will post next week
