Hi everyone, thought it might help me to post a diary as I am sure there will be highs and lows and keeping my fingers busy on the keyboard might keep them out of the fridge:rolleyes:. I have struggled with my weight all of my life, tried everything, the only marginal success I have had is with...

Wow, great to see you doing so well, I have been cruising desperately looking for inspiration after I raided the biscuit tin tonight on day one after a day of meticulously counting and weighing hex's! You have a lot of similiarities to my own life, I have also been vegetarian for most of my...

This has really inspired me so thanks! I am now on day 10 100% and 10LB down. I need reminders like this to keep me on track. I turned 40 too this year and am sick of wasting time feeling down with my appearance. I hope that I can keep my eye on that finish line too. :rolleyes:

The scales shifted again!! Lily, thanks so much for that, I will remember it whenever I get disheartened with the scales progress. I wish I could put them away but I just cant, I need to know where I am on a daily basis. You were absolutely right and after two days I have dropped again...

well done on your three day breakthrough! Hey Dont look back, glad to hear you are through those first torturous days! you will no doubt be sizzling those fat cells right now. what a lovely thought :cool:. I had no motivation when I started this, I just knew that it was now or never so went...

hey sarah, did you break the barrier?? Hi sarah, hoping you got the result you wanted. I am now on day eight, have lost 7LB, maybe I am greedy, but was a bit down with that, at 17 stones expected more, and the past few days, the scales have frozen, even climbed a quarter of a pound tonight...

how much weightloss in the first week? Thanks Mandy, you are very inspiring :D just wondering how much weightloss is 'normal' in the first week. I cant get to my counsellor until day 11, so I am now on day 8, cant help but weigh myself every day, and have so far lost 7LB, but the past two...

How you doing Zena Hi Zena, just wondered how its going for you? :)

thanks mandy thanks mandy, I was so determined not to eat a morsel off plan, I wasnt even hungry, not sure why it happened. I will buy a motivator dress to hang in my room, that sounds like a great idea. I did empty my fridge, but this out of date old lighter life was just there beckoning me...

well done on your loss flabfighter! Thank god for this forum, it is SO inspiring, thats an amazing loss!;)

thanks for the advice re: ketosis Hi, thanks for the good advice. I guess its nice to see evidence of ketosis, but as you say, its not important and if I am drinking enough, sticks shouldnt be too dark in any case. I was gonna buy some sticks, but I will take your good advice and not bother...

thats amazing! Wow, second that, what a loss in such a short time, you must be buzzing! I have seven to lose, I am on day 3 and just hit ketosis, so excited I cant sleep at night! :love047:

That is totally weird, LOL!! Well I have taken your advice, my fridge is a very sad place indeed. Unless I get desperate for a squirt of ketchup, theres very little in there for me now! Day three, and I have been a very busy girl, tidying, gardening and lugging bags of horse manure up hills...

Hi new person! I started this week, wondered how you are doing? I am hoping to be in a dress for Beatherder festival in July. Right now, if I was to wear a dress, that would be even wronger than the porridge! Hope its going well. I LOVE glasto!:D

water I believe that plenty of water also dilutes the sodium levels in the body helping you not to retain water. I know that if I can make 4 litres, it really shows on the scales. I aim to get through a litre in four hours. Its easier when its wine, but hey! ;)

hey jackie, well done on deciding to go for it. I am day two now. I lost 5 stones with lighter life many moons ago and have found myself with 7 to lose this time around. Hopefully it will be easier when ketosis kicks in. You have a good plan though, and that 8 days will be lovely and you...

Be very proud! Hey geordie girl, you should be very proud indeed of making the decision to do this. I have 7 to lose, and I know it can be done, and after a while when you see those results, you will actually enjoy it now and again! Sometimes it will be hard though, but you can use these...

Hey Pete & JO, keep it up! Just read your posts, really made me smile. I expect doing this with a partner is very hard indeed. I always use my other half to give me "permission" to do the things I know I shouldn't!! You have both done so well though. 7 pounds is still half a stone in anyones...

hi zena, I am hitching a ride in your boat! Hi, Zena, we are pretty much embarking from the same point at the same time. I have seven stones and 2 LB to lose to get to my healthy BMI, six stones would be just great as far as I am concerned, (SIX!!! surely thats enough for anyone) but that...

thanks! I can hardly believe it, nearly the end of day one. I keep forgetting I am on it and on those occasions where I find myself in the kitchen, I get a pang when I realise that no, I actually wont just have a coffee and a biscuit! Guess this means I cant be ravenously hungry, I just need...

"babies are the only exercise anybody needs!" I will second that! As I sit here typing, my 18 month year old is having a major tantrum in the kitchen and refusing to eat the delicious (I would give my right arm) meal I carefully prepared for him the other day before starting this, having spent...

100% Cambridge Hey Sammy, I am doing Cambridge, 100% sole source. I have never done cambridge before, although have done lighter life and lost loads of weight and felt amazing! I am a bit apprehensive this time around as I am at home right now rather than at work and have so much more to...

Thanks for the kind messages Thanks both of you for your kind messages. WOW! You have both done so well, I want a bit of that success. I have spent today pigging intensely, knowing that this is a silly way to proceed and will probably just gain me another pound, but thought I would get it...

Hi everyone, really glad I found this forum. Today I collected my foodpacks and on Friday I start 100%. Feeling a little bit overwhelmed as I have seven stones to lose, and my motivation is lagging, so its great to see all you upbeat people coping with it all. I actually got my first pang of...

Well, I did it. I met my Cambridge Counsellor today and came home with two boxes of food packs. I have such a lot of weight to lose I am shocked and a little bit overwhelmed. 7 stones. :eek: I have gained much of this weight in the past two years due to my constant state of pregnancy and...
