Well, think I'm going to have to start again on Sunday :( so bloody annoyed, I was doing so well! Got a wedding tomorrow, won't be drinking, but it's a sit own meal, and would feel awful if I left all, as they have paid for it. Oh well, gonna sign off till next Sunday, and come back with an epic...

Stayed the same...not surprised, just glad it wasn't a gain! Well done girlies, look like I'm gonna have to sort it out, I'm hoping for -5lbs next week to keep on target! Much love.x.

Oh, it was all going soo well..... Tried the dress on so my sister could see it, and her words where " to be honest, you look really old and it's too tight." I heard my confidence drop into my boots! So, I took it all back, came home and ate like 10 biscuits!! Was really pissed off, I want an...

Another TS 100% day ;) Got a very posh wedding to go to on Saturday, and the preparations have begun! Wearing new shoes in, fake tan applied to my legs ( for the first time in my life) , bought a lush dress that I actually felt good in! I'm really looking forward to it! I dont drink anyway so no...

I'm in a 20lbs in 5 week challenge, but that finishes 1st September, so I'm in! Leaholl -20lbs ;)

Hi all, hope your all good. Had a day off yesterday, but I planned it and back on it today, feeling great :) Started some light excercises today, and looking forward to the weigh in. I know it's going to be a lot less this week, but this s a working progress, so all good. Much love chicks.x.

Hi... Just thought I'd share...been looking for some toning exercises, but was reluctant to pay ;) Sooo, went on YouTube and found some fab vids, great for if u just want toning and minimal cardio. I'm not gonna try anything with too much calorie burning until I'm on ws. Just search...

Had a day off today, but, it's all good. I made the decision, ate and ready to get back on it tomorrow. Don't worry, I didn't fall off of the wagon....I stepped off for a bite to eat, and am now firmly back on board ;) Still feeling really positive about it all, can't wait to weigh in again!!!

Day 10, 100% TS.......get in!!! Feeling so good about this diet, soooo glad I decided to do it again. Been a bit moody today, just family stuff really. I've got 4 sisters, 1 of them we don't speak to (whole other story!) and the other 3 live in the area. I've always tried to keep us close and...

Good luck! I'm on day 10, it as gone really fast, and I feel great! Think thin ;)

Looks like I'm not the only one, lol! I see to work in theatres aswell, and saw many patients with health conditions caused by obesity, but I was a skinny Minnie then, and I just didn't get why people didn't just lose the weight! Now, it's me that's obese, and I totally get it.... But, I'm in...

I've just sat and watched my 2 mates eat a pizza, and thought.....hell no, I ain't losing that challenge, lol! I agree with FF, gonna start doing some toning as of tomorrow, and will do it every day until the end of the challenge, but gonna mix it up a bit. Need to get my arms and tummy started...

Join anyway FF :)

Thanks for the kind words guys :) How awful for your friend, and yourself to have suffered such a loss. It just goes to show how much people are going through everyday, and defo helps me put it all into perspective! I'm a women on a mission! I just want to be healthy ( and skinny ) so I can be a...

I reckon the 1st, fresh new month for another challenge! I'll probably update daily, as I weigh every morning. Good luck everyone :)

Omg, I totally nearly stuffed my face! But, I resisted, downed a load of water and came on here, and feel so much better! I know they are just cravings, but cleaned house from top to bottom today, so probably just feeling a bit tired from that. Still feeling really positive about this diet...

Naz - Starting weight today : 13 st 6 lb Goal in 5 weeks : 12 st Leaholl - starting weight 13st 5lb Goal in 5 weeks : 11st 13lb Just add your name and start/goal weight, then I suppose we can weigh in/ edit every 7 days???

Bring it n Naz ;) a bit of healthy competition, lol! Should we make a list and update weekly weigh ins? My WI day s a Thursday, but can change if it suits, or just update as we go along??

I'm in! Start weight - 187lbs Goal weight - 167lbs Start my new job on the 4th September, would be EPIC to start under 12st! I'm very excited now, yay :)

Thanks for all the support and opinions guys! I'm ok now, I think I just saw it as criticism and negativity and saw red :( I understand that people won't understand my choice of diet, and that's fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just gonna carry on doing what I'm doing, and...

Honk day 8 100%!!!

Lol Lemai!!! I feel better already, this site is so good for supporting people, whatever diet they choose.x.

Watched your vids last night, really inspiring! I think your really brave, please keep doing them, your looking fab!

Originally a Dartford girl :) But have lived in Suffolk, right near to beach and Broads for 14 years :)

Thanks JD. I was so sure about it, but that just shook me up, which has annoyed me even more! I don't care what people think about me or my life choices, I wouldn't go around telling people not to bother with ww or sw etc just do a VLCD, it's about choice. And I have chosen to do this, and I'm...

I'm soooo annoyed!!! I was so happy with my loss this week, felt really good about myself, and someone has to go and spoil it!! Here's how it went down....a friend on FB is a personal trainer, and tried to help me lose weight a couple of months ago. She is a lovely girl, and was 15st herself...

Don't beat yourself up, it must be really hard to fast aswell as TS! I'm sure you'll get back into it now your breaking fast. I'm on day 8, and lost 11lbs, so well happy with that! If I can do the, anyone can! Good Luke.x.

Thanks guys, I'm really pleased! FW, I'm so sorry about your dad, I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. I hope you have someone to help with all of the stuff to sort out. Please take care of you and yours, I'll be thinking of you, take care.x. Much love to all.x.

Hey Naz, just thought I'd drop a line to see how u have found fasting on Exante, hope your doing well Xxxx

Honk for day 7 (yesterday) bring on day 8!!!

Well done on day 1...you know u can do it now, so just keep going. Imagine how u will feel at first weigh-in and seeing those numbers drop. Good luck for day 2 xxx

Had a much better 2 days, stayed 100%, and first "official" weigh in, and I've lost........11lbs!!!!!!!! Sooo happy, my first weigh in last time I lost 5lbs, which s still ok, but that's what I'm talkin about, yay!!!!! Made me even more determined for this week, and hopefully meet my first goal...

Hi Hun, my oh works away all week too, so know how u feel there. I'm on day 6 now, and once u get I to it, it gets really easy. I wanted so e motivation, so bought myself a pair of size 14 skinny jeans, and I just look at the every morning, or think about them when I get a craving! I know I'm...

Honk - day 6 :)

Well, a rubbish 2 days!!!! No excuses, just caved to cravings. I wasn't even hungry, every time I take them bloody meds I just wanna eat. But I'm gonna win, I will be thin, lol! Having a procedure tomorrow which requires a , "ahem", bowel prep....just a nice way of saying , " you have to drink 2...

Day 4.......HONK!!!!

Lol, nice one ;) Laughter is the best medicine! I just had a huge craving for food, and for the first time, in along while, I got through it. Just came straight on here. I kept picturing the scales in the morning, and it went, yay :)

Congrats on the loss, that's awesome!

Thanks funny farm! Your name made me lol, that's where I ended up, lol ;) I've got quite a dark sense of humour, sorry, I tend to make a joke of most things!!! I totally get what u mean, I realise now that I would not eat all day, then just stuff my face at night as this was the hardest part...

Had another good day on 100% TS :) Been out all day with my beautiful little girl. We sat on the green in the park blowing bubbles, and I noticed that I had the biggest grin on my face.....I felt content. I can't remember the last time I just felt peaceful and had no thoughts other than I was...

Day 3 today, 100% honkedy honk ;)

I know what you mean, I'm a bit now or never! All you can do is see how you feel, even if you don't get massive losses to start, once Ramadn has finished, you can get on it properly! Good luck, look forward to hearing your updates.x.x.x.

I'm just starting day 3, and I'm a daily weigher ;). But, my scales say I have lost 6 lbs already!! It feels awesome, but just wondering if this is normal, or if my scales are lying to me, lol! Last time, I only lost 5lb in a week, but I wasn't drinking as much water, I'm drinking between 3.5...

Hi Naz, didn't want to read and run :) I'm not sure about fasting, I suppose the packs shouldn't be a problem, it's going to be your water intake. When I first tried Exante TS, I didn't drink enough, and it reflected in my losses and left me feeling quite despondent about the whole thing...

Thank you so much, feel a bit embarrassed now, lol! I'm so motivated at the moment, just hope I can do it this time. How have u been doing on it?

Yeah, the one I got was, there is loads. I've found it really helpful, like I said, struggled with drinking so much last time,but I know that's the key, so the app is really good :)

Lol, yeah, first thing in the morning, after the toilet (tmi), with no oxygen in my lungs!!! I just love watching those numbers go down!!!!

Great losses people, I'm so excited for my (official) weigh in next thursday!!

I'm so sorry Hun, it must be so hard for you at the moment! I've lost a lot of people over the past few years, my best friend in a motorbike accident, he was 30, and my other friend to cancer she was 29, and another friend a few weeks back in another motorbike accident!!! A lot of family as...

Honk honk, day 2 100%!!!!

Thanks FW, it really is weird writing it all down, but helps somehow?! How much weight are u hoping to lose? Sorry to hear your having a tough time, hopefully we can help each other along the way :)

Honk - day 1 100% yesterday :)

Day 2 - feeling very motivated still, and actually feel better already. The wonders of drinking so much water I think. My OH is very sceptical, but can't really blame him, I'm always " starting my diet on Monday"!! He has got to the point where he just says, ok babe, good luck this week, lol...

Hi everyone Just thought I'd share, I've got an awesome app n my phone that helps u keep track of how much water your drinking. It recommends 8 glasses a day, so when you've drank a glass u can tick it off. I'm using a 500ml bottle, and ticking one off when I have drank one. It also reminds u...

It's interesting what keeps people motivated! As I said, I weigh daily, and 3ib off this morning!!!! Convinced its all the water I have been drinking, so all good. Wow, 24 days and no weigh in, that's discipline!!!

Hello all I'm coming to the end of my first day 100% TS, and I must say, I have drank a lot more this time round, and feel loads better for it :) I was just curious as to when people weigh and why? I tend to weigh daily, as it gives me more of an incentive to continue. I did this before Exante...

Good luck, I started today and feeling fine at the moment :) I have drank ALOT of water though. When I done it last time, I don't think I was acing enough, as I feel much better the time. Is it 4 st u want to lose? I want to lose about that by Christmas, so we can keep each other on track.x.

How annoying, but best to get better and then get back on it! I'm feeling really good about it, just sooo ready now! Can't wait for first weigh in next Thursday :)

Welll, I thought having a diary would help me on my journey back to the old me.... 3 years ago, I was a normal, happy and healthy person. I was doing a job I loved, with the man of my dreams and just the happiest I had ever been. I fell pregnant, which was a total surprise as had been told years...

Thanks, first day going really well so far. I think the key is drinking plenty of water, feel a lot better this time round :)

Wow, hope my loss is as good as that! Congratulations! Day 1 for me tomorrow, fingers crossed :)

Hi, I'm starting tomorrow, hopefully I'll stick to it, lol!

Well, starting again!! Tried earlier in the year, but just couldn't stay 100% ts, and decided I would have to be fat forever. Managed to lose a stone on my own, but I really want to shift this flab!! I start my new job on September the 4th, so really want to lose a couple of stone by then, and...

I cant wait for piccies either!

Good luck everyone, im on day 3 100% ts, no hunger pangs ore headache, just a bit bunged up :( tmi? Lol.x.

Day 3 100% ts, feeling quite cold, which is very strange for me, im always too hot! No other side effects yet, dont even feel hungry! Yay me! I need to stop weighinh myself on different scales though, my mums say im down to 14st, but my digital ones say 14,5, needless to say im going by mums...

Hi, I would like to join this challenge, but not sure how to add myself to the list :( I would like to lose 42lb by easter, also it will be my 28th birthday on 10th april, so wanna look slamming when I go out!!! Thanks if you can add me to the list, my official wi is next monday.x.

Hello!! I have just re-started 100% TS yesterday too, hopefully we can help eachother. Good luck for day 3!!

Hello to everyone again! I have finally got back on the TS wagon!! Been on and off since 1st Jan, and so far have managed to lose 9lbs since then (god knows how!) I started last october, but the death of my uncle completely threw me off course, plus it was right on top of christmas :( But...

So, day 15 and starting again from fresh today. Had a day off yesterday, but now im on it 100% until christmas day. But, I have found out I turn to food for comfort. My uncle is terminally ill and we almost lost him a couple of days ago, and I just wanted to eat! I honestly didn't know this...

All back on track now, only one slip up but apart from that 11 days 100% ts :) thanks for the replys.x.

Thankyou, feeling quite embaressed now :)

No, im sorry, im being a moody cow! I think I have had alot of negativity from family about it not being healthy and all I need to do is diet and excercise blah blah blah. Its just that the meds im on slow your metabolism and make you crave food late at night and ive been told by 3 different drs...

Me too please, I would love to be 13st, but thats 22lbs! Big task, but i'll give it a go! Coukd you please add me, im on my phone, thanks tubs.x

You sounded very supportive, and I may have not been on here very long, but have not come across a post like that before. Next time you want to rant about something, create your own post. And it was aimed at people who felt the way I did last night, so was aimed at me.

Thankyou.x.

Thanks hun.x.

Thanks guys, back on it 100% today. Just a blip, just felt quite sick, and couldn't eat the soup, but that one mouthful of stew was lethal! Lol, dont normally eat like that in real life!

Yeah, thanks for the lovely words girls, really needed a lecture about it. My weight gain was not down to stuffing pizza all the time, it was because of medication. I just didnt want to eat it last night as felt a bit sick, and I certainly do not put my weight loss before my health. And if your...

Im so upset, i wasnt even hungry! I made a lovely beef stew for my daughter and oh, but he didnt come back from work last night. I thought, well, ive been so good I will just have one mouthful.......big mistake! Ate the lot, plus cakes and toast! WHY! Feel like just giving up, please tell me im...

Cant believe it! Had a massive binge last night, I was like a wild animal, nothing was safe! Feel so disapointed with myself, I was doing so well and not even hungry :(

Dont do it!! As you said, you have done so well, why spoil it now, drink some water and try to distract yourself. Good luck.x.

Hi Im on day 8 100% ts Have had my shake and bar today, just dont feel hungry for soup. I have made it up, and will probably have a few mouthfuls, but will it effect my weight loss? This would be the first one I have missed, I just dont think I can face eating the whole bowl! Thanks.x.

Hi, im 5,6 and my normal weight is between 9.5 and 10 st, so aiming for 10 st first. I will probably try to get down to 9 st, so I can allow for a few lbs when I start eating again. Normally size 10-12, atm size 18!

I was the same about the scales, but seeing another 2lb off this morning has really made me happy. I normally weigh between 9.5 and 10 st, only put on weight due to medication, and i piled on 5 st in the last 1.5 years :( so hopefully as that is my normal weight it will be ok. Good luck for your...

Will defo be taking it easy, probably just walking to start with:)

Have decided to weigh In daily from now on, I love seeing the (new!) Scales go down and I think if I gain or sts, it will give me more motivation! Going to introduce excercise as of monday, so hoping this will make for speedier weight loss!

Nooo dont give up! This is a wicked diet, 8 days 100% ts and I list 9lb! I keep writing this on every pist, but the results are amazing! Stick at it, you can do it.x.

Well done for being so commited and sticking to it, new you new start! Dont do it for him though, he aint worth.it, do it for you.....and make sure you look slamming at that party hun ;)

Not an expert, but I think this is listed in the side effects. I had to take a dulcolax to get things moving, but they are a bit harsh :-p ive tried to drink more aswell to help. Peppermint tea is good for your tummy. Hope you feel better soon.x.

Started mine 8 days ago, been 100% ts and have lost 9lb so for! My gp didn't agree either, I had to run it by him as im on medication, he said no because he doesn't think it will work and is a waste of money! I told him I appreciate his personal opinion, but I only wanted his medical advice, and...

Thanks hun, another 2lb off this morning!

Another 2lb off ;p

Yay!

Me too, wi today, lost 7lb in first week! Hopefully I carry on like this for a while, got 5 stone to lose. Good luck hun.x.

Good luck hun. Im on day 6 now 100% ts, but I must admit, last night I really struggled, just kept a picture in my head of me before I put on the weight.x.

Hey Lark I think if you really want it you can do it! It will be hard over christmas, but ill be on here alot for support lol! This site has been really amazing, when you read all of the success stories and knowing we are all going through the same thing really helps. Good luck to you hun, im...

HI, im new to this site and also vlcd's. This is my first day on ss and have found it alot easier than I thought it would be, thank god! This is the first time in my life that I have been overweight (im 27) and it is awful. I basically put on 5 stone in Just over a year and a half, due to...
