Day 53 :) Morning! The builders are on the roof!! Pains in the butt! Busy day tile shopping and laminate floor shopping and the son is having a sleepover :) I need to order more food packs this week for the last 40 odd days or might order as close to forty as I can an keep going til the run...

I was a size 22- but I'd never admit it! I'd do most of my clothes shopping when I did the food shopping in asda- so that I could do it on my own! But who was I kidding as my husband knew and anyone who'd seen my bum! I tried diets all the time- I'd lies about a stone in six months and then I'd...

I like to eat late- I like going to bed feeling full :) As for the 'toilet' situation it's common ;) more water? Senna kot before bed will sort it.

That's it- ill be on off a diet all my life in reality but as long as I keep my head in the game I can enjoy life a little now and then- mixed grills or chicken salads make for a good night out even fajitas without the wraps!

You'll get there promise :) but what you haven't thought about is how could you're going to look on the way down! When I started at 17 n half stone I thought I'd need to lose at least 5 stone before I'd feel 'ok' but to be honest- after a stone definitely two I just saw n felt such a difference...

Well done you! Every weigh in is going in the right direction that's what counts :) Fab news about the inches!!

I'm thinking to slim n save til the 100 days n maybe have a mix then of carb free dining n slim n save until Christmas- I'm not a party animal but I know there gonna be meals out n stuff that ill be going to. Then after Christmas when the decorations come down the diet will resume :) until I'm...

You're right whenever I take a week off from weighing its because I'm hiding from myself... Not wanting to see what I already know will be a gain... Note to myself- force yourself on that scales! Even if its a gain I should face it to stop it getting out if hand.... Sounds easier than it is tho!

I'm guessing I won't be at target by December 8th but its ok... You don't get to stick there anyways so I know after a Christmas holiday ill need a diet session to get back to (dare I say it) the 10s when I get there...

You are all so kind :) I don't think I'll get to 10st 4 before day 100 but if I'm close I'll carry I for a week or so- but I'm having Christmas off... Day 51 involved a mentoring evening for yr 11 and then a late tea. Ready for day 52 and more than ready for the weekend!!!

I'm greedy... Got on the scales this morning wanting 11st 13 with no half! Just to be sure I'm in the 11s but the scales haven't changed :( try again tomorrow! I like 11 something too tho it is a whole new ball game... :):):)

Well people now think I'm even more crazy- I've told everyone today that this is day 50! Most people didn't realise it had been so long! But as quick as the weeks go by some friends have been saying 'I'll start dieting Monday...' Since before I started so its a mixed response when they realise...

Fatface.... To skinnier face.... You too can photo the proof!

Go for it! Keep them private... Couple of months you'll be proud to show people the fruits of your labour!!

Take photos!!! You're looking at a round face today but you'll forget how you look if you don't photo the changes!!! Your 'slimmer' face will just look normal! If you know what I mean! Really motivating to look back... Then the positives you've listed today can be positives for even longer :)

Well Thank You :) I am pleased and its put a little bounce in my step today :)

Day 50 is here and it's weigh day... Weighing in at 11st 13.5lb :)

Day 50 tomorrow! That means after tomorrow I'll be closer to the end than the beginning!!

Thanks everyone! I never thought about how ageing being overweight can be! Not just the clothes I wore but the whole look... I even make an effort with the makeup these days!

Sad times can break us all :( But a focus can keep our minds busy too. Five weeks is fab x

Compare and contrast!! Sept 2010 and sept 2012 work ID!

Go for it! It helps me... On the down and on the up!

Just search weight tracker there's loads! It keeps it real and now for me... Numbers and stuff are my thing ;) Day 49 tomorrow.... Woop woop :)

So true!!

Fabulous weight loss!! Wow! Well done you :)

You wanna see it over the year! Talk about yo-yo!

Got 2- 11st7 by end if half term and then 10st 4 for life. :) Not been lower than 11/7 in a loooong long time ;)

My weight loss tracker for the last six months... Yes I'm back to where I was but my god look at the journey!! I enjoyed every bite :) it's taken me 46 days to undo the damage :):):)

Thank you everyone! Yes if the barrier was an actual object I'd be smashing the bloody thing!! Will weigh tomorrow and the day after and the day after that to make the move to the 11s official!!!

Fab weight loss! Knew you would ;) Its all going in the right direction!!

Good morning day 46 :) It's not raining. I so can't pretend to wear these size 16 jeans this weekend-they look like someone else's!

Yea yes and yes again... You read my mind! 12st 0.5lb this morning. Exactly the same weight as I was 6 months ago! I'm nearly in the 11s! My lowest ever for the last ummmm 15 years is 11st7.5lb that I got to in February- and sent to a friends wedding (put pic on here last week) I'd like to...

Thanks ;) focused on day 50 now... Next Wednesday and I'm half way... Didn't think I had it in me to do a VLCD again... Quite pleased with myself... But will keeping doubting myself until I see a 10 on the scales!!

Very true... I'm just over 12 stone and I'm a size 14... Tops/jumpers even a 12... But at 13st I was a comfortable 16- I want to be a size 12 but I'm sure it'll depend what shop I'm shopping in as we'll as my shape and my weight?!?!

Thanks guys! Watch out 11s I'm coming to get you! I'll be watching and watching now... I want to be 11:7 for my boys birthday 1st nov- I might not make it but I want to be closer to that than 12 st for sure!

You're doing great- loving the +ve's they're all true!

Mmm not so much whoosh :( 12st 1.5lb this week- hopefully under 12 by next week yay! Have a good day everyone :)

Whoosh!!! Thanks ;)

Weigh day tomorrow- not sure how I feel- I want more! More weight off quicker! Now!! Day 42 today a dim getting bored- not tempted- not yet- just bored... Stuck in a routine I guess... And extra busy dont help! Family n friends shopping in my OH store tomorrow and open evening in my school...

Day 41 nearly done- a porridge and a set of yr 9 books before bed mmmmm um!

Thank you. Days gone super fast! Yeah I'm with you for the house stuff not so much fun when your shopping for everything at once- I love decorating but this is a whole new level :( Busy week will mean no time to worry about eating! People used to comment- about the lack of eating during the...

Wedding ring is a big change...it'll get bigger too! Bra's I'm with you but sadly the boobs don't look that good anymore! ;) Really positive tho! Fab fab fab! Told you a big loss was heading your way! :)

Well to bed I go..School tomorrow and I've spent the day talking bedrooms and bathrooms for our extension- always thought I'd enjoy choosing everything from scratch but it's not fun it's exhausting! The responsibility involved in deciding where walls go and £££!!! Not fun :( Day 40 draws to a...

I am obsessive! I have a tracker on my phone and I update my weight on there everyday! I also have a countdown and every morning I get up, weigh, jump back in bed update my weight (even if it stays the same) and then go through my countdowns to see the days gone and days to go! I like your...

I want to run around the block 100 times!! I'm desperate to see my weigh in the 11s!! Hurry up body and get there!!!!!!! I know it's silly as it would only be a 3lb weigh loss and by next weekend I should be there but psychologically be to in the 11s instead of the 12s would be fab. Last time I...

Playing silly bugger today! Being on the laptop instead of the phone or iPad makes getting around on here so much easier. I have setup my signature for the end of my diet...Seems a long way off...but had decided IF (big if) I don't get to target before the December deadline I might adjust it...

I've just updated my signature and stats (but not my weighin details as its not wednesday) but I'm less than 2 stone from my target! Yay!! 30% of me has gone since April 2011!! And although I've been this close to target before - I think it means more this time as I'm more aware how easily this...

You too!! Well done on the weight loss! Good luck with the cauliflower rice :)

Good night :) into the forties I go tomorrow.... The last stretch to the half way line.... Ooh yeah!

Keep a pair of big trousers tho- jump in them in a few months and amaze yourself!!

Hello day 39! This time it's really here... Suns out- washing to do!

Good bye 38 and hello day 39.... Albeit by a few minutes! Quick cuppa and bed :) a night out in just water maybe cheap but my god it's hard work!!

Weigh in???? Isn't it today?

I never realised how fat my arms were- I had to have my watch altered twice! And my rings went down three sizes! I remember this night out- never realised how big I was- makes me super aware that I still don't know how big or small I am 5 stone later! Insecurities all the way!!

Big loss- you wait n see :)

Take photos... You really can watch yourself shrink! It's really motivational- I have a set of photos of me in jeans n a white top- took one a fortnight- really did watch myself shrink!

In my head unless I look at a picture I'm still the same person- to be true in my head I was never 'that' big! Not liking the weather... Might not go out of the door until work Monday ....

Inches and pounds both count! Changing shape can't always be seen on the scales- but next week you'll have lost loads!!! :)

Yay!!!!! It's Friday!!! Boy it's been a long week ..... But it'll be a short weekend :(

Me too :( what a waste.....

I looked through loads last night on the laptop- there were pics of me looking worse! But Rome was our holiday where I was BIG and it stopped me enjoying myself cos of the heat and all the walking.... It took me nearly another year to find VLCDs... Now here we are- still trying to lose the last...

Hi :) I like the curry with cauliflower and broccoli mashed in its like a nasty curry but better than on its own :)

18 stone :) climbing St. Peter's dome nearly killed me... No really... Nearly did!!

London earlier this year to watch Cardiff in the carling cup final... VLCDs do work!

Me in February at our friends wedding... Slightly smaller :):):)

Rome again- tried cutting my OH out of this- he's skinny and it makes me look even worse!

Me in Rome- at my heaviest- about 18stone....

Nos da :) good night folks... Been looking at old pics... Some real shockers!! Will try n put them on here this weekend....

'Could do better' it would say on my report! The 1.5lb this week was my own fault. I have thought about it and moved on :) back to looking forward :)

Yep :) by half term- as a teacher my life comes in half terms! I'll be half way yay :)

I started this diet 37 days ago today. 63 days left! Just got in from work- nice cuppa now and then to do tea...

It's always nice to have clothes to aim for- something physical to get your head around as your image of yourself can take a while to catch up with the change in your weight/body shape. I have a size 12 coat... One day it'll fit!

Thanks- life just gets in the way sometimes !

No I don't mind ;) every little helps!

Ha ! Thank you... :)

Hello 36 day ... 12st 4lb today so 1.5 lb off this week after my blip ..... Weighed 12st4 on Saturday so have stayed the same since then I'm guessing..... Never mind! Day 36 is starting with a storm! Literally!

Good night day 35... Weigh day tomorrow :-/ And nearly Friday :) a girl can dream!!

Sounding good!! Keep at it :) like u I can shop for anything don't bother me... Can cook anything too not a problem... If anything I want to put more 'nice' things in my trolley as I'm not going to eat it they might as well have full fat, and extra cream?? I don't even know if that makes sense!!

Sorry everyone... Just no time to get on here.. Triggers... I got loads but its just eating... The full feeling makes want more :( Straight back into it yesterday no worries there... Today is day 35 and be buggered if I'm starting this countdown again:) But a huge huge thanks to everyone for...

Well I fell well and truly off the wagon! Last minute out for tea for mother in laws birthday.... Steak n salad ok... Came home and lost the plot! I'll spare the details as its not good.... So day 34 and I'm well out of ketosis! Here we go again.... Week from hell with the hunger n stuff for...

Thanks... Trying to keep the end goal in sight!!

Oooo 2 stone to go to target... 28lb in 66 days? I think so :):):)

Of all the fraction a third isn't the most interesting. But at 8 o'clock this morning (sadly mathematical to the bitter end) I am 33 and a 1/3 of the way to 100 days.... I can see this lasting... And as I. Didn't start as high as the first time I can see the end in sight :) last time I was...

Thanks for the support :)

We all have these days... Good job getting through it :) you'll feel different tomorrow!

End of day 32... Been busy... Marking, tidying, sorting... Now to have porridge and bed :)

Good luck for tomorrow :)

I'm like a child with an advent calendar! :):):)

I'm liking the sound if that!!

Fab news :) Well done! It's such a relief when the scales show you this diet at work! I'm not sure that if we hadn't all failed so miserably on 'conventional' diets any of us would have looked for a VLCD. But now we know! It's our time :) onwards and downwards!!

Start of day 32... Tomorrow is my official third of the way there...

Good luck for your weighing! You're sounding so positive! Keep up the good work :)

Like like like :) I know... Can't wait for the Christmas party! And family gatherings!

Wishing my life away! If its not diet days it would be days until half term! At least it keeps me going :) 25 days felt great- a solid quarter of a century! Well done you too !!

Has it been a day already?!? Wow day 30 went like a flash! No time! No time! Never mind another one bites the dust!

Good night day 29 - cant say I'm going to miss you :) Into the thirty something's I go! Hurrah!

Go you! Fantastic start!!!

Bio oil is good for the skin issues- and it'll take years (according to the websites) for your skin to 'shrink' in ...my tummy looks nasty :(

Don't be apprehensive- just let it be. One day at a time... And every hiccup is just a bit of life reminding you it's real... Now we've started this dieting business it's never really going to end... We'll just drop in n out knowing we can do this! Imagine how big I'd be (started this at 17.5...

Thank everyone for your support! To see how quick these days are passing and how the pounds are going too makes me smile! It's like knowing a secret! I'll wake up on December 8th and it'll be like an early Christmas! Might even buy myself a present!!

It's great to know with this diet the weekly weighing will always be good!

Thank you. Onwards and downwards :)

Thanks... It quickly adds up!

I'm finding the countdown really helpful :) almost exciting... Like advent!

Is it wrong to be enjoying this? :)

December 8th. As this is day 29 :) Just weighed- in the dark and I'm 12st 5.5lb- so 3lb off :):):)

Day 29 tomorrow... Nearly 30% of the way through... Sadly I'm wishing my life away here but hey hoe- Got to do something right?!?!

I do this! I get up n weigh... Random or what :) Good luck for WI tomorrow :)

Thanks... As soon as I get up I weigh... Think about every night from Sunday on...

Thanks :) Weigh day tomorrow... Love the anticipation of getting on the scales :)

Day 28... Four weeks :) Weigh day tomorrow... I want to be under 12 n half stone... Hopefully 3lb off... But will wait n see... Hope everyone has a nice Tuesday :)

Victory!!

Oh yawn... Good night 27... You were a very wet uninteresting day.... Work work work, eat, mark now sleep!

Good morning 27....

Good night 26....

Whoever invented marking should be shot! Along with the person who decided marking in green was more pupil friendly :-/

I did a whole week in Portugal last summer carb free and found it easier to back on the packs when I got back... But I do love spuds... In any form :-/

Because this diet is long term- even with the fast loss it takes ages- I'd have the break at the end of October but I'd stay carb free? That way you'll slip back in easier... Otherwise you might get into November and start to wobble with Christmas so close.... Only a thought :)

It's always busy! Granted its mad at the moment but life don't slowdown ever!

Yuck... Exams are evil things.... Good luck with the revision....

What do you mean could be you? It is you!! You're doing this... And doing great :£

Read a few entries in your diary but sadly not all... Ear ache gone now? Feeling better I hope :)

Day 26 and its raining :( builders made the extension as waterproof as they could yesterday as they knew this was coming.... Off to Cardiff today to shop for shower trays sinks toilets and a bath. Decisions decisions! Back then for school work and presentation writing. Hard week coming...

Wrong face!! :):);)!!

The builders have been outside up until now all we've had to do is empty the living room and pray for no rain! But this weekend we've emptied two bedrooms and a bathroom as they'll be knocking through this week and re modelling upstairs. Now the fun starts! But like the diet a bit of...

Yes! Do it! It'll be like your own version of an advent calendar! I'm finishing 8th December in time to indulge over Christmas :)

Thank you :) Tesco was right when they said every little helps :) all these single days on plan have got me this far! A quarter sounds like a lot!! :)

Well done! Great start to the diet! I like being in work when I'm dieting... Away from the kitchen!

Me too! A Christmas without a Facebook photo of me being the fattest one!

Thank you thank you :)

Hi sounds like you made it through the first week. Weigh day tomorrow? Take some photos every couple of weeks and see yourself change. Keeping a diary saves me everyday and keeps me on track. I didn't tell anyone what diet I was doing last year but when I'd lost loads if weight I was...

Sounds like everything's going to plan! Keep up the good work and it'll drop off! :(

Day 24 is made all better by tomorrow being Saturday and the 25% mark!!

Oh yeah it really helps... It makes me look ahead knowing I've got a goal in sight. :) I think this is the way forward... Even if I had more to lose I'd limit 100 days and reassess... Last year I lost 5st + from April to July... I should have done a countdown! I could have stepped it and seen it...

Go for it! I'm planning on being done by 8th December to be ready for Christmas and then I'm resigned to the fact that I'll need to do a thirty day diet after Christmas :) but it'll be worth it!

Oooooooo Saturday will mean I'm a quarter of the way through!! Get in!!

Had purple, green and white cauliflower with my tea tonight. Tesco finest... Every little helps!

Thank you :) The logic behind it is... I weighed roughly 12 or maybe 11:12 last year around my boys birthday so I'd like to be back there (obviously I'd like to be lower but hey ho!) As according to my sums... It's 41 days to matts birthday and this is day 23... Making his birthday day 64...

Thanks... Rained but I think they're at a stage with the extension that it would need to hammer down to do some damage now... Roof on hopefully tomorrow :)

Mmmm just had tea :) Decided I need an interim target- my sons 9 on November first so I want to be back on 11 st 7 by then... Do able I think... As its six week to lose a stone n one pound. Then it'll be countdown to Christmas and the December deadline!

woke up this morning to rain :( nevermind.... also woke up to 12st 8lb :)

Well day 22 and I'm cold and watching the rain knowing my living room has only a polythene roof and my washing is on the line! Karate watching for my son... Who just hit his red belt :) Home for tea soon...

Okay.... Nearly! Weigh 12st 8 n half this morning so I think I made a stone in three weeks- ish :) I'll update ticker and stats later... Now to get ready for work Day 22....

22minutes to day 22... And 22 is my lucky number!

What a day! But yes good overall and what's even better it's over! School- full timetable of double yr11, yr7 and double yr13- followed by meeting with exam officer followed by son swimming - normally sit n chat to my friend but it was her husband tonight :-/ then home to empty first of two...

Anytime!! It helps to see positive people doing the same as me :) makes me feel less alone... All day I'm surrounded by family and friends who don't know what it feels like to diet this way... So when I say it's day 20 to them they just smile at me but on here everyone understands what 20 days...

20% done- yippee!! Looking forward to Wednesday now to see if I make a stone in three weeks :):):)

Take a day at a time! It's the buisness! This time tomorrow the hardest days will be over :)

Goodbye teens... It's been fine but I'm moving into the 20s tomorrow :) Day 20 tomorrow that's 20% or a fifth of the war through my diet. I've got a long meeting tomorrow night starting at 5 :(

Watching Safe yet another DVD as sky is off because of the builders. Don't really watch TV- my son has kids tv on all day mainly because he likes to listen to it when he's playing. He's autistic- as in ASD not severely but enough to be 'different' and he has ADHD but he's not hyper active in a...

Fab news. Well done you :) Three pound is great. I hope I can settle into a 3lb a week pattern that way you can think its nearly a stone a month! WOW!

Oooo sneaky! :) Always lived near and arou d Carrphilly- work in Cwmbran but that's the furthest I really go... Unless its something exciting! I'm working too! But at home... Marking... I think I'd be more focused if I was in school though... Keeping stopping and starting!

Do a diary!! It's never too late! The closer to then end you get the more exciting it will be :) From Caerphilly just outside Cardiff although must say we go into Cardiff for everything! Loving the 100 day count down its so final. Makes me more confident in a way but this diary grounds me...

Sat in KFC watching my son eat finger lickin' good chicken whilst drinking a twinnings English breakfast tea. W I L L power!!

As long as you remember to jump straight back on plan I don't think a week off hurts- its all about your mindset and being aware of the amount of time you're off the diet. We went on holiday in August and I told myself I'd get on a diet as soon as we got back and it took another week just to get...

How about don't count your hold but 100 days around it to new year!

I have joules wellies too! Thankfully at the end of this they'll still fit :) the 12s were a little tight but I like to shrink into things... Give it two weeks and I'll be there... On the top half anyway!

Ok- its not weigh in yet but week three ends Wednesday and on the scales this morning I'm 12st 9 and a half so hopefully I'll be 12st 8 on Wednesday which will mean a stone in three weeks! That would be nice....makes me think all manner of things are possible! 1st in 21 days... 2 st in 42 (...

Calorie free tho ;)

Good morning day 19.... School work for breakfast? Mmmm nice

See!! By day four you'll be over 10% there! And I'd guess by day 20 a stone lighter with two weeks still to go :)

I love it... When I started at a size 22 I didn't even bother... Bought most of my clothes from asda- not that that's wrong but I wouldn't enjoy a trip to town I'd just grab something when I was food shopping... If you know what I mean...

Okay then! Size t w e l v e crew clothing co padded jacket, purple cable knit cardigan and grey cable knit jumper... Also navy joules trousers but in a fourteen as I have a large bee hind :) Was looking at a north face coat too but was put off by the bulky ness- want something warm tho for...

Hi Go for it!! A few times a day it saves me- it's only 100 days... I can do it! I can eat 'that cake' next time.... Go for it!

Day 18 and spent too much money on clothes and make up today :-0 Crew Clothing company could be my undoing- that and Joules and make up... Oh well - I do only cost 4.50 a day to feed! So over the 100 days I think I've just evened out the spending spree! :)

Actually I might sound motivated but I'm still in bed ;) listening to the builders- knowing I'll be making tea if I get up!! All this get and go stuff is overrated! No sky now- the dish was in the way of the builders- so last night was the hunger games on DVD. Saw it in the cinema, and read...

Had my delivery yesterday- got enough food packs for a small army! Worked out I have 46 days worth altogether- which will see me nearly two thirds of the way to my 100 day diet. Means I can't back out- not that I was going to- but this way I got a physical reminder of how long to go... When...

That's the spirit :):):)

Day 18 and the builders are here on a Saturday banging already ...

I got an app called target weight-and it tracks my weight and counts down the days but if you type countdown in to the app store there's loads 365 lite is a good one too! ( I like to know what's what!) on the 365 one you can have more than one counter...

Do a countdown!! You can lose a stone easy in 5 weeks! I countdown on here and on my phone and it's a real help. Go for it! (day 17:)

No rain as yet :) still a long time til morning tho!

Mmmm chicken soup tastes a bit like Chinese curry sauce if you put a bit of imagination in ;) only a little bit but it's there!

Day 16. Builders have taken the roof off of my living room ready to build the first storey e tension. Let's prey for no rain!!

Don't worry I eat everything I'm supposed to! It's just bad timing means its nearly all evening. I never go to bed hungry tho- that's one positive! Last night tho I went to bed really cold... Time to change the duvet me thinks!

Thanks :) just had soup followed by chilli with broccoli and cauliflower- felt like a two course meal... But no desert :)

Sat in karate watching the boy upper block n all that... Really noisy! Visiting sister after this so home about 7:30. Three food packs to have by bedtime then... Got to re think Monday to Wednesday as I have stuff straight after school for my son and don't have my 'first' tea until I get home-...

Morning day 15. 12st 11 and a half. From 13st 1 last Wednesday- so 3 n a half this week so that's 11 and a half lb in two weeks - I think- will check later when I have more time!! Have a nice day :)

Oh a d tried my first soup today- nice! Dissolved easily with little whisking- unlike exante that needed a blender!!!

Day fourteen is o v e r ! Sorting lessons sat in bed. Hoping to be done by 10/10:30. But defo not going down so all food packs consumed already and orange squash stuff in a pint glass on the stand :) Weigh day tomorrow- don't think it'll be lower than 12st 13lb but I haven't weighed since the...

Feeling a bit less stressed now! And ready for bed. I remember when I used to stay up til midnight 1am- even on a school night! Now I like my bed :) in it by 10 or there's something a miss!! Day 14 tomorrow and then weigh day on Wednesday... Been good as gold but feeling bloated? Or something...

Thanks :) It's only day 13 and today the end feels a long way off... Don't think the weather helps... Or the cooking tea taking people swimming, sorting PE kits and packing lunch boxes before I do my lesson planning Today is an unlucky 13 me thinks!

Fine thanks! Day 12 is nearly over... All good! :)

Thank you :) I dragged my husband in to Cardiff for an afternoon of birthday shopping for him- but we didn't get anything. He had lunch and I had a bar then he had sarbucks and I had a tea :) good afternoon... Watching them eat ice cream from baskin n robins was probably the hardest! But not...

Go you!!! Well done. Very positive! You'll be at your goal weight in no time!!!

Good morning day 12 :) The sun us shining my husband has a bad bad hangover and we're going shopping!! He's going to love that - not. One advantage to this diet is no temptation to start drinking shots at midnight to keep you warm?!?! It was a good BBQ but afetr I brought my little boy home...

Good bye day 11. Finished off at my sister in laws BBQ. Lovely it was too- tad cold even colder than last night but great company and lovely food (I guess) still 100% tho ... I mean it's only day 11 but I'm not wanting to go back to day 1 for a sausage!!!

Good luck for weigh day tomorrow- cant wait to see how good week two has been :)

Hi! Day one?? Hope its going well... one day soon turns into two then three then before you know it a week! Good Luck :)

Hello! Have you started ok? How's your first day going... first three are the worst... stick at it!! :) Annie

I'm drinking a can of diet cream soda - calorie free and no citric acid so that's ok yeah??? ...too late now anyways... :-0

Just had a panic on!! But phew checked and sky still works in the playroom! Or it would have been no TV til the builders have finished either... That would make for Somme unhappy faces come tea time!! ?

Just ordered a men's 140 food packs deal and orange fresher powder. All in 160! That means 35 days worth for 4.50 a day! So for the next month I'm a cheap date ;)

Done :) living room now in dining room. Doors closed not to be opened until extensions done. Phew that was hard work. Thanks Dad for all your help :) To school work now- camped out in the kitchen at the breakfast bar as the dining room table is dismantled behind the sofa :-/ Saw the 12s when...

Yea thanks great day- work no food issues there- and then out to a special open air cinema night in the village up the road- me, my friend n all the kids in coats n drinking tea watching cars 2 on the big screen- temptation free night! And with the cold air I bet I shed an extra 200kcals just...

Thanks :)

Oh yeah! Let's do this! I've had a few false starts over the last few months but this time I'm going for it! Day nine is done :) And tomorrow I'm 10% of the way there! I've enjoyed all the flavours- I'm really impressed. When they arrived on their plain solve wrappers I thought it was a mistake...

Thanks :)

Thank you! First mini goal is to get back into the 'overweight' group and out of this obese one... BMI 30.8 this morning do nearly there! Oh well Good Morning day nine :)

Wednesday came around really quick- nearly Saturday again now!

Come on day 9... I want my days to be double digits ;)

Hello- I should do that actually... Another good idea!

Hello! Now that's a bloody marvellous idea :) up stairs for thinking :):):)

Morning :) Started last Wednesday at 13:8. Started this diary at 13:4, weighed this morning 13:1 7 lbs first week is great :):):) Will up date tracker this evening Day 8 is here!

Okay drank peppermint tea all day- still need to sort a water bottle to take the lovely orange refresher water flavouring in. Days almost done eating chilli as I type with a pepper thrown in for good measure! Milkshake then at nine before bed :) weigh day tomorrow- shall weigh first thing...

Day 7. Lucky 7?

Day six. Done. Back to work today too (teacher) and found I didn't drink enough water... Need a new water bottle!! Weigh day Wednesday... Although technically as I started the diet Wednesday morning shouldn't tomorrow be weigh day? Seven full days? Oh I don't know :-/ Wednesday will do...

Just had macaroni with 200g of broccoli and cauliflower and it was lush! Really pleased with the taste of these packs. Think I've made the right move buying into slim and save :) Now to watch Thor!

Hi! I'm starting back too...you're a few days ahead of me as my first weigh in is Wednesday. You're sounding really positive and motivated! Keep you the good work :) Annie

Thanks and Hi :) Last three stone... I thought 100 days was a good focus- last year I had an indefinite number of days... Felt a little never ending but this time I I'm going to stick to 100 and re assess. Day 5 is here....

Surprised on the size of the bars- thought they'd be bigger and more cereal based- from my VLCD background I suppose... Pleased with the flavour tho- had a praline one in Starbucks yesterday with a cup of tea :) The sweet porridge was nice- filling-ish nice with a cup of tea and a glass of...

Hi, I'm starting this diary to motivate myself... And because when I did the 'big' diet I think it helped? Started dieting following LighterLife 19th April 2011- didn't last too long as its a very expensive way to eat nothing! Moved quickly onto Exante and became a self sufficient VLCD dieter...

Just reading through some diaries on here... Come across the SW quiche being mentioned... Will need to research that one!!

Made cous cous again. Made curry and rice (boxed up for tea tomorrow) and just had syn free chips and steak for tea! Can't see how I can lose weight mind you but I'll adjust after weigh in on Tuesday if nothing's happening. Just found out my sister in law is getting married next march so lucky...

Thank you! Won't talk about tea but I'm thinking this maybe the last diet I need :)

Oh yeah casserole was nice- had it for tea and lunch x 2 all from One casserole!

Well it's Saturday and all is well. Just had stir fry noodles n chicken for tea. Easy does it! Can't seem to find out if Schwartz curry powder is free- its only combined spices- no sugar or fat but the website doesn't want to co-operate! Made up two large cous cous salads with plain cous...

Hi Everyone, I've left meal replacement diets to become an extra easy slimming world dieter! knowing this will be more a way of life after my target weight than meal replacement. I started my journey April 19th 2011 and since then have gone from 17st 7lbs down to 11st 7lbs but I am currently...

Well Goodbye Exante! I've lost my zing and I'm jumping ship! 13 months ago I started this weight loss journey- never imaging I could lose so much weight in such a short time- as by Christmas I had lost 6 stone! But here I am in May and I'm finding it too much hard work staying away from food-...

Thanks! So day seven and weighing in at 12st 6lbs. Good start but still two stone from the target I set myself a year ago! Six months of dieting ahead me thinks!

Nearly a week now and going ok. Had tea every night. Used exante all day and gave kept to 12/1300 cals. Lost at least two pounds as I snuck a weighing yesterday but will make it official on Saturday as it will be a week :)

Well did I fall off the wagon or what!!!! Day one yesterday- going to do 3 packs and tea (600 kcals) this is my plan for two months see where I am then. 12:10 this morning! Thank god on my phone I can't see/edit my tracker as this would be even more upsetting! So tracker on the laptop as...

Oh bugger. Starting again- count down to centre parcs! 7 weeks today. Want to be target weight by then to need to get a move on :)

Thanks!

Are these special scales? I've not heard of them before?

Fab! :)

I am the worlds worst comfort eater- when my son was born he was very ill and was in SCBU for 12 weeks. In that time I put on about three stone. In the next five years I put on five more! Hence starting exante in the first place- he's 8 now and a whole lot of other issues but manageable :)...

Bad day all round. Sister in a mess do spent day at hers trying to sort stuff out- came home n ate crap cos I felt all upset and out of sorts. Looks like its day 1 again tomorrow! I'd had a good run too!

Day twos started with a bad tummy and a head ache :(

Day one done.

Day 1 of 28- until my friends wedding. Good so far. Did an hour in the gym too so feeling tired and hungry but for all the right reasons!

That's the way!

Oh don't think like that! I think- as long as my weight is going the right way it's a good thing! The time it takes isn't a factor really as every week however small a loss I look better and know I'm on the right track. Any diet takes time and even tho TS sounds extreme I find it easier than...

Updating on my iPhone means I can't alter my weights or signatures... Pain in the butt!

Day 19=day 1! Had cashew nuts, cheese, ham and a bar before bed last night! Coming home from the pub is a weakness! So resetting the clock today! Day 1 it is :)

Uh oh back from the pub sober but I can't stop eating cashew nuts :( oopsie!

The blips come n go but if you're in it for the long haul like me it amounts to nothing- just jump straight back in! Just let them go and get back to it! I always think as long as my weights not going up its ok- a day staying the same is better than a week eating stuff because of a small blip:)

Feels good too don't it! :)

Didn't get on here yesterday for day 17. And this is now day 18! Thank god it's Friday! Pub tonight but I'll take my own coke zero and hide it (that's dedication I know) and my hubby n friends are glad I'm driving! May not get on here to mark the end of day 18 but I'm feeling a little more...

One a day I think cos it's calorific but yeah I pick it up in tesco- next to the veg stock. I like the chic milkshake made with black coffee in the evening although recently I've moved over to the porridge. :) Hope it's going well! Onwards and downwards!

First day done! Well done you! I always use 300-350ml of water for all the soups and a hand blender. It's to thick somehow if you use the right amount- with the shakes if always stuck the right amount for a shake but used more if making a mocha coffee or latte with the vanilla. The chocolate...

Day sixteen and tonight patents evening went on and on forever!!!!!

Day fifteen nearly went by without a mention :-0

Actually that would have been 27.5!!! So I'm already closer! :-D

My bmi is 27.4 smack bang in the middle of the "overweight" band so from now on I'll be closer to normal than obese :) :) :)

Day 14- nearly done...

Good luck! Two weeks in- how's it going?

Day 13 done. :)

Cheers :) It's not easy but it's worth it! Keeping track of the weight and writing on here keeps your mind in the game :)

Up and at'em George McFadden!! Day thirteens starting with a trip to the Capital :)
