    Well I survived the BBQ and feeling proud of myself. I have to admit that I didn't put too many tempting things on the table to make life a little easier for myself. Only ate 1 burger and 1 sausage with a plate of cucumber, carrot, pepper and celery. My treat was about a litre of ice cold Coke...

    Help!!

    I think this dieting lark is like giving up smoking. I gave up 6 years ago after realising that it was just a habit. I got up..had a cigarette, I drove to work...had a cigarette....I made a phone call...lit up etc etc. Every time I reach one of my 'triggers' I just said to myself that I would...

    My clothes are too big :D

    I have the next size down waiting for me in my wardrobe from last year when I lost nearly 2 stone on JUDDD diet. Then i put it back on again so had to buy new bigger clothes as I was so determined that that I wasn't going to gain again that I threw my 'fat' clothes away!

    Milk in tea and coffee

    I must confess that I am having one cup of tea a day with skimmed milk in. It's the one as soon as I wake and its one habit I cannot break. Doesn't seen to have affected anything but only on Day 9 so don't know for sure.

    Day 9 so far...............up early with DS so gave him this breakfast, showered and did the chores etc etc. Strawberry shake at 11ish then decided to contact my hairdresser as I deserve a treat (or at least I think I do). Devastated that she cannot fit me in until 12th July so hope that i...

    Well done for getting through day 1 and hope today has gone well for you. I am sure you little slip ups won't affect your WI. I was racked with guilt when I licked some baked bean juice off my finger on day 2 but then gave myself a slap................a miniscule amount of baked bean juice...

    Starting tomorrow - any tips?

    Hi, I must be the only one that quite likes the Thai Chicken although I do think all of them are an acquired taste and that you get used to them the longer you try. You are doing fab so far so keep it up :) Also, the tesco bars are lovely....can be a bit sickly if you eat in one go but I tend...

    Nearing the end of Day 8. Feeling really good today after my WI this morning. I think I must be in Ketosis as my appetite is virtually non existant. Last night it got to 9pm and DH asked if I was going to have my soup!!! Didn't feel particularly hungry but ate it anyway. Today I had my...

    Starting tomorrow - any tips?

    Good luck :o In moments of weakness just sit down and remember the reason you started this journey. That's what got me through the first week and now it seems easy and I'm only on Day 8!!! It will be worth it in the end :D

    Hello and welcome. You definitely made a good choice...it' day 8 for me and I love it so far and lost 8lbs on my first weigh in this morning :D

    Taste of shakes!

    The first time I tried strawberry it was horrible but now it is ok but I have to add sweetner. I love the vanilla and chocolates ones but make the choc with hot water and it makes a scrummy hot choc. Banana is Ok but not my favourite. Shame I don't like coffee!

    Well it's the end of day 5 and still 100% plus I didn't have my usual Oxo to stave off the hunger pangs. Had a delicious Vanilla shake for brekky, a Tesco meal bar for lunch and the veg soup for dinner (my favourite). My DH sat next to me eating lasagne and garlic bread :drool: but I resisted...

    Hello again, I am still around but didn't get to post last night as DH was hogging the laptop and then had a friend pop over. Well I stayed 100% again so feeling very pleased with myself. Strawberry shake and mushroom soup definitely tasted better the 2nd time round so I am a little relieved...
