    Is everyone on holiday?

    And I've gone AWOL too, I had a couple of weeks off plan after a family visit where I said yes to a bacon butty and that was the beginning of the end...after consuming my own body weight of pizza chips cake etc, and a lake of wine, I had put 9lbs on. But, at least I went back. I lost 8 of those...

    Hello again, I lost 3lbs this week, making 24 in total, after 7 weeks. Am pleased with my loss, not spectacular amounts but it's totting up nicely, I have bought some new tops to stop me looking a baggy mess and some trousers I bought recently are now too big. I feel as though I'm going to...

    Well done! I didn't lose anything this week, at a loss to see why, my Ketostick was a decent pink colour so my LLC could see I was in ketosis. Anyhow, I'm sitting here with a big bottle of fizzy water, determined not to over-react and do something crazy. Looking at people's diaries, this 'sts'...

    Am still plugging away here, lost 3lbs last week, so that's 17 in 4 weeks. I'm very pleased with how much I've lost. I'm trying to go to the gym regularly though sometimes I fail and spend the evening on the sofa. I like the new me that's emerging, cheekbones, hip bones and ribs poking their way...

    thanks! Yes, am doing ok, the urge to eat has subsided and I'm back browsing clothes websites, planning how great I'm going to look in a few weeks... Though am also concentrating on one day at a time so I don't get ahead of myself, think maybe i got complacent after my first 2 good weeks. Will...

    thank you for you lovely post! It is indeed a struggle getting back into ketosis, am not there yet, my stick is resolutely beige. hey ho! i suppose what's important is that i'm back on track, which I am. I don't have scales at home so I don't know how I've done, I have my weigh in tomorrow so...

    Unhappily I had a blip yesterday, I had food leftover from guests and ate some chicken (lots) and salad, some cheese, crisps, and a small amount of bread. Goodness knows why, I just stopped thinking straight. I'm out of ketosis. So it's day 1 again, kind of, I need to think one day at a time and...

    TheRealMe, I remember those feelings exactly, the first time around I found the soups ghastly and I couldn't believe that I allowed myself to get to the state where this was now necessary. I felt angry and panicky. But...as the days went by, and the weight fell off, I found my favourites and...

    Lost 4 last night so that's 11 in total. I feel really pleased with this, I feel so much better, my clothes are less tight, my face suddenly has bone structure, and all just within 2 weeks! Am trying to take more exercise, wanting to extend my routine beyond the barely-there 30 minutes cardio...

    Late Summer Bank Hols Challenge!

    well i lost 7lbs last night, which I'm very pleased with! And was well into ketosis too, which I was worried about because I'd been feeling hungry and tired, and not the energetic person I'd been last time. Let's hope my second week will be better in terms of how I feel. Am pleased with the...

    Thanks for the tips. I tried the chilli today and it wasn't bad at all, but the taste is a bit too concentrated and I think more water would help. Day 3, am hungry, again. Went to the gym and did some cardio stuff, not too intensive. Was doing my recycling earlier and was struck by how much...

    Day 2 here, just had a shepherd's pie, my first ever...not sure about it! Put some Tabasco on it to mask the taste, dunno, I thought it might be like one of those wonderful Vesta curries of my youth, but it wasn't really like that. Have saved a vanilla for my supper. Ketosis not kicked in yet...

    Am glad there are others giving it a go this month! How is your first week going, Joanne? I remember the strangeness of it all, and the elation at the first weigh in. I am looking forward to not having to make decisions about food, getting away from the food minefield. Loops I hope you get the...

    Hi Is anyone starting in August? I am due to restart on Thursday after a break of nearly 2 years. I lost more than 2 stones last time, which was an emergency crash diet before having major surgery. The surgery had been planned way beforehand but I had yo-yo'd until 3 months before the op, when I...
