    Confessions of an Indecisive Dieter - Restarting with no cheating!

    I think it's normal to blame others sometimes. As long as we realise we're the ones responsible for it really. I gained the most when I was with my ex. I met him as a size 8 and 5 years later when I ended things with him I was a size 16, then I got down to a 14 and when I met my fiance, I went...

    Hi Sarah, welcome so s&s This is a fab diet with lots of variety! Sorry to hear you gained weight back, unfortunately a lot of us are in the same boat because we go back to old habits, apparently you're just as likely to re-gain weight on any plan and the vlcd isn't the culprit. Good...

    Thanks TT. I agree, the protein and veg option make this diet so much easier! How does your OH react to that? Mine would throw a complete hissy fit!

    I think you'll have a decent loss next week, even if you still have the veg. It takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1lb of fat so I highly doubt you've lost nothing. Have you checked your measurements? Digital scales sound like a good idea, I love my new ones xx
