    Exante: Challenge accepted

    Rebooting this diary for attempt 2. I'm now on day 3, finding it a million times easier than last time (no idea why), but I've barely felt hungry at all. Tried the pizza today which was oddly alright, just the sauce is a bit odd tasting, I did weigh 15 grams of cheese and melt it on top...

    Starting jan

    Glad to see you doing well after 4 days. I'm about to start again tomorrow and feeling nervous about it actually. I did it for a week or so earlier this year and enjoyed it but lost focus back at work. I'll be reading to see how you do! We're all in together!!

    Exante: Challenge accepted

    Hi all, I've been a bit AWOL as I've been visiting my parents and their internet died and I did not have the patience to use my phone! It's been a funny few days, been 90% on plan, and what's been "off plan" has been calorie controlled/checked for carbs (eggs for example!! No carbs and were my...

    Thank you! It's useful to see someone else's perespective and find out about doing it seperately! Will look into it for the next round if things. I've actively avoided all the shakes so far because I can't deal with the sweetness levels.

    Day 3 - Still ok. This is perhaps a little premature as there are still a few hours of today to go, but I wanted to write and don't know if I'll get chance to do it later. Today has been a relatively straightforward day. I didn't sleep well at all which was horrible, but surprisingly I don't...

    It is satisfying to have stayed on track and not given in. I know you are right about it getting easier and that is what I am keeping in my head. :)

    How did you find things being back at work? Especially the milkshake for breakfast? Hope it has been a good day for you!

    Exante: Challenge accepted

    Day 2 - a shocking willpower success! So today was always likely to be the hardest this week. Not only is it day two, but I've been at home all day for a scheduled in cleaning day AND I've been alone - so no one (except the cat who has a worse appetite than I do) to tell me to stick to things...

    Well done on the new job and fantastic will power. You'll should be feeling super proud of yourself - I know I am for getting through day 2 and that is without half the temptation you've faced!

    Exante: Challenge accepted

    Hi all, Like many I feel that keeping a diary might help make me feel a little more accountable, as well as help me to reflect on the days on this diet. I'm a newbie to Exante, and this is my first VLCD having only done Slimming World (lost 2 stone) and a quick dabble in Weight Watchers which...

    I've just made it through my first day too so I'm not far behind some of you! It was more enjoyable in terms of food and achievable than I'd expected too, but lets see how day 2 goes first. Keep going and good luck!

    Sorry to hear about your troubles with anxiety! It's a horrible thing to have especially when it's brought on my something like that. I've always been a natural worrier, it just stepped up a notch as I grew up - now I've just come to accept it and work around it. Anyone who knows about it is...

    Today is short and sweet because it's been awful. Breakfast - all bran and milk, lunch - plain pasta, packet of walkers baked. dinner - omelette and rice. snacks - cake, crisps (as mentioned) a lollipop and some maltesers. I've also had a hot chocolate, I did actually ask for a tea but my...

    This was some lovely advice - I hope you're taking it yourself! Helped me get back into perspective - just because I didn't start on a Monday, doesn't mean I can't start! I just weigh myself next Tuesday instead... sometimes it is an excuse so thanks for giving me the nudge into not falling...

    Hi Borderlass and RaeRae! Hope things have improved a little bit since I last checked in. Well done for admitting naughty steps and for keeping on track! I've been looking forward to checking back and seeing how you've been doing. So I was naughty yesterday - pizza express (eek). Shared starter...

    Admitting before I even eat it that we're having pizza for dinner! I checked the calories on the box to make sure it is the lowest one and we are sharing rather than one each which would be normal... In justification world I've also only eaten a bowl of all bran and am apple all day and am just...

    Please don't apologise - you lost it and that is what counts! You should still be proud of losing it because it is HARD. I've put nearly the whole 2 stone on that I lost but I'm still proud I did it in the first place. I hope SW works for you this time. You still have the experience of doing it...

    Yes RaeRae certainly does have a lot of experience - I am very very impressed and it is inspiring! Well done, and thank you as well for the extra nudge. Well done on restraining yourself though Borderlass, again helps me get some focus and want to do the same! It's funny looking at SW in a...

    First of all - Hi Borderlass/Christine! Thank you for your post, I am now feeling bad for the naughty parts of today - if only I'd seen your post this morning, I might have had a bit more will power! I hope you managed to survive your meeting without too many naughty things being munched...

    I don't know what happened to me from Tuesday last week until now but it's been a disaster. I feel awful, I feel like I can't stop eating. I know what I'm eating makes me unhappy yet I still eat it. I'm eating things I don't need to. I'm not even hungry. I can see the scales going up and yet I...

    Everything went down hill this weekend. Had a really rough day on Friday, went to London yesterday and may have raided Harrods food department. Wasn't actually too bad but bought the most amazing loaf of bread and have nearly eaten it all.... I think I managed to pull it back today a little but...

    Today was good, not perfect but near enough. Breakfast: all bran and milk, syrup (2) Lunch: plain pasta (I know) Snacks: 2 apples, banana and popcorn. This is the bad bit but air popped with no sugar (5 - overestimating) Dinner: broc, sprouts, potato, sweetcorn, gravy (syns for this? Was only...

    Ok so had an internet cut the day after writing this and it's finally back. Typical eh? Not been as strict as I could have been but haven't been too bad - except for pancakes last night, and a Chinese on Saturday, though only plain noodles and rice. On the plus side, I've eaten so much...

    My aim: To avoid nibbling everything and anything in an evening when I get home from work. So for the first time ever I have decided to try writing a diary about my daily food as I attempt to get back on Slimming World on the 1st Feb and focused! I did Slimming World two(ish) years ago now...

    Well done everyone so far (especially you people exercising like crazy!) I went away for the weekend to visit family on Friday straight after class so haven't updated. I lost 1.5 lb which I was actually annoyed with because I'd really tried :mad:. Now I'm just expecting it straight back on after...

    Hope we're all feeling positive on day 2? I re-joined Slimming World today and I'm not happy with the scales because I'm 3lbs more than I thought! :mad: On the plus side it has made me even more determined to get this half stone by the end of August! Fingers crossed for all of us.
