Thanks guys, well took the dog around the block, it is only about 10 mins and all is well so far with the demon back. I really want to go shopping into my closest biggest town on Wednesday as I have booked that day off. I love shopping and I am all prepared with my mask and hand sanitiser! It is...

Next week it could be 2lbs then, you never know Dolly! xxx

Thanks Dolly, it is really hard, so worried but I can only hope that this situation improves as it could have severe repercussions if it does not. Touch wood all seems to be a lot better at the moment. I hope all good with you? xxx

Day 36, did not post last night as I actually wandered around my local town yesterday doing a bit of shopping, was out for 90 minutes and came home in agony...God I hate my back. I had to go to bed in fact when I got in as I sat on my settee, moved an inch and screamed. Feels fragile but a lot...

Day 34 and a good dieting day and my issue that has been causing me extreme anxiety seems to be a bit better although it will be months and months before I am sure it is sorted. Had a really lovely Saturday off work which is very unusual for me at the mo as i have been working Saturdays as well...

Very well done Strawberry, that is amazing!! xxx

Hi Dolly, I certainly will be joining the challenge, I love those as they do help keep you on the straight and narrow! I will pop over and put my name down later today. Hope all ok with you? xxx

Thank you Charlotte, life does have a habit of getting in the way sometimes but currently the awful situation is ok atm, things could change at anytime however and I am really looking forward to my time away with my lovely friends for a well needed break! Hope all good with you Hun, very well...

well done Blubell, I have had a few issues lately and came off for 3 days....the main thing is that life does get in the way but you have not given up!! xxx

Day 32 and I have had the worse few days, The issue that is causing me great worry got even more serious and then work was horrendous and then my flights were cancelled for my holiday! I have had 3 not binging days but not on plan days, however, the situation causing me concern and worry seems...

Day 29, weighed myself and lost 1lb!! So new mini goal, get to 16 3 and under 39.5 BMI. xxx

Well today is day 28, totally cannot believe that! I have not weighed myself for a few days but will do tomorrow morning...fingers crossed all as we know what my body is like but I have been totally on plan so I should lose at least a pound, 2 would be fab!! Today is the first day for some time...

I know I could not believe it Dolly! Yep, I have read the news about Leicester, I think there will be local lockdowns tbh, we are not out of the woods yet unfortunately. Hope you are having a lovely day! xxx

Day 27 and what a day! So happy and overexcited that I can go on holiday on July 13th and then just go to check on our hotel and it is not opening until July 18th now!! I only checked it a few days ago, I have contacted hotel and am waiting to hear from them and have booked another one which I...

I know what you mean about your back bless you. Hope it is feeling better now. I have had a full refund now for my two holidays that were cancelled which is a relief. Best news ever at the mo is that the air bridges will take effect from 6th July unless the Government change their minds so...

Day 26, very good dieting day but absolutely rubbish in every other aspect, could sit and cry but the silver lining is I have absolutely no appetite at all. Would rather not have the worries I have got but hopefully will manage to sort it all out. Take care all and I hope you have all had a...

I cannot sleep tonight with the heat so just binge read your diary, so inspirational! You have done so well SM! xx

Day 25 and all is good, nearly hit both my mini goals which makes me very happy! Hope you are all having a lovely day! xx

I have a little dog, she is a cross between a bichon frise and a yorkie and she is gorgeous! She is nearly 4 but people always think she is a puppy! I have not had a dog before but can highly recommend it. When you can it is so worth having a dog, it really is.xx

Wow, well done Biggie, that is fantastic! Keep on doing what you are doing and you will get there! xxx

Thanks Dolly! Well day 24 and I had a day off from work as they owe me so many hours! Me and my little dog got the bus and went to see my friend and her doggie. Lovely lovely afternoon! Forgot to bring a bar with me so did not eat anything until about 7, Sitting on a hot bus for an hour each...

Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow, I bet you have a good result! xx

Day 22 and another good day...I have lost another 1lb, being post menopausal and on a lovely cocktail of drugs my weight goes on like the clappers but comes off in ounces! Next mini goal, finally getting under 16st 7 and below 40 BMI. Hope you have all had a fab Monday! xxx.

Thanks Dolly, it does seem to be going well currently, Long may that last for both of us! You are so near the 13s, well done!! xxx

My family know as they see what I am eating but I have not seen anyone else to tell!! Normally I tell my close friends. They are always intrigued by what they call my 'space food'! Hope you have had a lovely day and here is to a wonderful week! xxx

Day 21 and anther good day...yay!!! Am hoping against hope I will be able to go to Menorca with my friends on July 13th, all we need is an airbridge and for the FCO to say we can travel. It would be so wonderful to have something to look forward to, I think that is what I have missed most with...

Day 20 and I saw my grandaughter who is 4 and my son today. So wanted to have hugs and cuddles! Had a good day today foodwise as well but now have a stonker of a head so painkillers at bed time for me! Deep joy! Hope you have all had a fab Saturday, I have been working, just finished, but off...

Oh no Blubell, but you have still lost the same amount of weight although I can totally understand why you are upset. You have done very well and the scales cannot take that away from you. Take care xx

You sound like you have had a fab day Biggie and I have as well...here is to another day tomorrow...as you said we can do this!! Take care! xx

Hi Biggie, just stumbled onto your diary, I am trying Exante again too but have had a couple of bad days......back on strictly from today as I am hoping I may be going on holiday on July 13th, Government permitting. I know from before if I stick to it I could lose a stone by then! Good luck with...

Day 19!! Had a fab time with my friends, so so lovely to see them it really was. Did not weigh myself as I do it in my kitchen obviously with nothing on and my son was in the garden so he would see me, didn't think that would be a good idea! Had Weds off as I said I would and was a bit bad last...

Thanks Charlotte! Well day 16 and today has been a good day. I actually have tomorrow off...yay!! This is going to be a planned bad day as I am seeing my two best friends, haven't seen them since January! We are going to sit in a marquee in my garden with a heater and social distance and one of...

Thanks Dolly, let's just say the senna did not work last night!!! I will try it again tonight and see. Take care!

Day 15 and I feel I have got into a routine...yay!! Hopped on the scales today and it looked like I had gained weight!! I know that cannot be right but I have been a little bunged up shall we say!!! Took a senna tablet tonight, lets see if that helps. Hope you all had a lovely Monday! xxx

Well day 14 and today has been a better day in my mood which is good. Unfortunately my body likes to hold onto my weight so I do not lose weight very fast but looking at myself in the mirror I can see I am a bit better than I was! Just got to keep on doing the same. I wish that was as easy to do...

Hi Dolly, lovely to speak to you again! I was very pleased it didn't turn into a binge and touch wood I have been fine ever since. Hope all good with you my dear! xxx

Bless you Charlotte, I understand what you mean, I have left the house 5 times since lockdown, 3 times to pick up a prescription for back painkillers, once to visit my brother and my mums graves and once for a very short walk in the countryside....short because I cannot walk far unfortunately. I...

I am working full time and then some at home Charlotte so only really have Sundays off. I just miss the freedom of my old life to be honest....we will get back there in the end! I have been watching tv series on catch up when I can though! Hope all good with you Hun. xx

Well done Barb! xx

Day 13 , unlucky for some! A good day diet wise but I am so bored with this lockdown now. I think dieting is not helping tbh but I put on enough weight in this lockdown anyway and simply cannot afford to put more on so diet it is. Major hay fever today and I feel a little light headed but I...

Day 12 and succumbed to one of my fave foods.....toast last night. The scales do trigger me whether good or bad! Put yesterday to bed and have had a very good day today...will stay off the scales for a while me thinks. The good thing was that I only had the toast and didn't have any of my other...

Hi Salty, I am doing Exante too, need to lose about 7 stone. I am on day 11 and feel like I have got into the swing of things now. We will get there Hun! xx

I think we are all being a bit up and down because of the situation we are in at the moment Barb, I know I am! xx

Just ordered another 99 meals as they were on special...go me!!!xx

I am now 16st 10 and definitely cannot wait to be in the 15's, it is a long time since I have seen them. I am on Exante which I have used before which is strict but I can barely exercise even walk hardly due to back issues that I was born with so that is why I have gone onto a VLCD. Hope you...

Day 11, weighed in today and 16st 10 so away from those 17's...checked and I was actually 17 2 the night I weighed myself! I am not a lover of the scales but I do feel a lot less bloated so that is good. TMI but Exante does bung me up so I think I will take a senna tablet tonight to help it on...

Day 10 and still motivated......back however is killing so I am not in the best of moods! Hope you have all had a fab day.xx

Glad to hear it Charlotte, our minds do have a lot to answer for. You just keep doing what you are doing, it is working beautifully for you, well done again! xx

Day 9.....I am not a huge fan of the scales to be honest Zafira, if they show I have gained I want to eat and sometimes even if I have lost I think 'thats good, I can eat a little bit!' None of it is logical is it but as long as I keep on going I know I will get there in the end, that is my...

Well done on the one muffin Barb! I can really relate to the self sabotage and reacting to disappointment, I agree that you definitely did win that one! The mind is a strange thing. Take care! xxx

Well done Charlotte on both the weigh in and the cholesterol and also the new way you are thinking of food. I am definitely an emotional eater and a food addict. Unfortunately it is not healthy food I am addicted to! You are doing so well, just keep on doing what you are doing. xxx

So day 8 on Exante, I could not sleep last night and got up about 3.00 in the morning and for whatever reason decided to get on the scales. Well that was a big mistake as I am sure it said 17 st.....my body puts on weight so easily yet never wants to give it up! If that is right I obviously put...

Hi Zafira, thank you so much for stopping by! The years do fly don't they, I remember when I turned 50 saying that at least it wasn't 60 and in August I will get there....it does not seem possible. Such a shame about our holidays, we look forward to them so much. After July we are supposed to be...

Hi again Charlotte, yep all ok with me. I am so happy for you with your weight loss and I hope your health is a bit better now, I know you had some real problems. Take care hun. xxx

Well I live for my holidays as does hubby and so far we have had 2 cancelled this year. My next one is supposed to be a girlie holiday in July to Menorca. I was fairly sure my friends would not want to go even if we could but they have now said that as long as there is no more 14 day quarantine...

Hi Blubell. I have just read through all your diary and you have done so well hun. I noticed you said you have lordosis, I do too and was also born with too narrow a spine so unfortunately walking and standing are fairly agonising and just getting worse.. Have you noticed a change in the...

Thanks Barb, lovely to hear from you!! So day 7 back on Exante and so far not tooooo bad. I was furloughed from June 1st for what was supposed to be a month but very unfortunately I am actually back tomorrow. Working at home and so so busy cancelling people's holidays so not great fun, I...

I am doing Exante as I have lots of packs left and if I stick to it it really does work. been on it since Monday and so far so good but I have not weighed myself yet as I am too frightened to if you know what I mean! I may do in the next couple of days. Good luck Bee! xxx

I remember you from when I was on here before Charlotte. I cannot believe how well you have done...you are a total inspiration...very very well done! xxx

Hi Blubell, I remember you from when I was on here before...well done on your wonderful weight loss! xxx

Hi Bee, I am back from last year and raring to go as much as I can, greed, boredom and the lockdown have not been kind to me but onwards and downwards for me now! I am going to read your diary now as I find these so inspiring. Take care. xxx

Hi Barb, I have just come back on here too! It is a marvellous forum and really helps I think. Not brave enough to weigh my self yet but have been on Exante for 6 days now, I have so many packs left it seemed to be the way to go! I think I must have about 7 stone to lose but will think of it in...

Hi all, I am back again! Did Exante in 2019 and got down to 15st 1 from I think 17st 8? Came off the wagon big time and then Covid and lockdown happened and came off the wagon even more! Last time I weighed myself I was 16 st 7 which was on the 31st March. I have been back on Exante since Monday...

Good vibes coming your way!! xxx

Day 2 of restart and yesterday was really good so lets see how today goes!! Take care all!! xxx

Yesterday was really good, felt so much better not eating the rubbish I have been so here's to day 2! Hope all good with everyone! xxx

I have probably done the same Dolly! It is so annoying but I know I deffo have a problem with food. Fingers crossed that extra weight will be gone before we know it! xxx

I have been a very naughty girl!!! Back on it as from today so we will see how I go!!! How are you doing Dolly? xxx

I am back after a long hiatus....what with working long long hours and 2 holidays I dread to think how much I have gained but back on today!! Hope everyone is doing well! xxx

Well!! Working those long hours and then 2 holidays on top of each other have not done my dieting any favours at all! However, I am back now on day 1 so wish me luck! I hope everyone is well! xxx PS I have no idea what I weigh other than the fact I have put a lot back on!!!

Honk, Honk!! xx
