Thanks both for popping in. If you fancy geeing each other Emmster, happy to help. Thanks carrot. I will measure later. Starting weight as expected is 14/1. DD today and will use MFP to keep track of cals. Do people tend to eat breakfast and dinner and slip lunch? I don't it easier to go as...

Nothing inspirational to write I'm afraid apart from I am tired of being like this, tired of having clothes that don't fit, tired of hating myself, tired of having no energy.. Just tired of it. Heres hoping this works. Planning to use up some slim and save products I have on my DD and eat...

Whoop. Good luck for Wi. I love the truffle bars. X

Honk de honk honk. Thanks for your support!! Day two - bring it on.

12-13 it is then. Busy day today and absolutely determined I will be back on here later saying Day 1 done.

Good luck. I'm restarting today as well x

Well if I can't be honest here, where can I be. Dreadful weekend in terms of food. Dreadful. I just didn't get going properly at all ___________________________________ There's my line drawn. That's it. Nuff said. Except I'm back to feeling useless again. :-(

Thanks for support. It really means a lot. Awake as little one woke up. Feeling really thirsty but can't be bothered to get out of bed now.

You sound super positive. Well done and fingers crossed for a great loss this week x

Starting weight 13-12. Not my worst, but bad enough. Anyhoo kids packed off to nursery and I have a few hours of peace, so going on a cleaning mission. Right after a cuppa. Will try and hold off my first shake till 11ish. Excited to get going, but nervous. I don't want to fail. I don't...

Well done on getting thru day 2 x

Just popping in to say hello and well done on loss so far x

Thanks for your support. I'm really determined this time. I have no excuse except lack of willpower.

I've written it before. I've tried and failed at so many diets. But I'm miserable. Miserable. And I don't want to look back at my life and remember everything being tainted by my weight. After flitting about of late and not getting anywhere I'm taking food and choice as such out of the...

Though it best to point out daddy eating in my first post is supposed to read faddy eating.. I don't eat daddies!!

*sneaks back in quietly* that thing called life got in my way somewhat.. So I'm here anyway and ready to go again.. I have no idea what to do anymore to lose weight.. I don't think anything will work, I can't stick to anything.. Feel useless etc etc.. Will try again tomorrow and take each day...

Day three and its going well, save a blip with a bar of choc last night. Proud I didn't let it all go to pot today thou. Scales show a 2 pound decrease so far. First goal is 13/5 which is what was previously my highest weight. So only 4 pound to go to get that and then I'll set another. 4...

I'm a bookworm too.. Though usually buy diet books when jeans don't fit.. I hate jeans shopping, it's the one thing to reduce me to tears and come home miserable.. Well done on your start so far. Cig ore your colleagues, you don't have to tell anyway. I usually find people are critical when you...

You're doing great, well done!

What I ate today.. Breakfast - granola, natural yogurt, grapes, banana, strawberry.. Snack- banana muffin Lunch - juice of pineapple, cucumber, avocado, lime, apples. Snack - cream cracker Dinner - chicken, roasters, veg and gravy. Not planning on counting cals dependant on how weight loss goes..

Hi all, After many years and many 'diets' I've finally reached a place where I've had enough. Both of my weight and daddy eating So slow and steady will win the race. I'm going back to basics and good old healthy eating. In the midst of this I want to get back to eating real food instead of...

Thank you. Feels good to be back.. All set for work tomorrow, doing Slim and Save packs tomorrow so I know I'm on track. Will weigh tomorrow and then try stay off them for a while.. Though I am a scale hopper.

You've done so well. :-)

I've tried exante and tbh find slim and save far tastier and easier to stick to. Good luck for Friday. x

Not been around for a while, but just popping in to say hellllllo. How are you doing?

Do you do strictly alternate days week in week out?

*peeks head round door* Sooooo, I've not been around for a few weeks.. No real reason, but my head just wasn't in the right place and I also had tonsilitus and flu which knocked me off my feet for days. I'm determined to still do this though and after those few weeks not focusing on eating...

You've done fab. All done x

Hi nyssa. Thanks for popping in. Good luck. Will pop in to you as we'll x

Well done on your loss x

and I'm off.. An hour into my first up day cot sure I'm going to manage all the cals tomorrow.. Any tips? I don't want to eat bad to get cals in me, but there is only so many bananas I can eat.

So you starting on an UD tomorrow??

Just altered that to an UD as it means one of us can always eat with the kids which I think is important and I have a course this week which will be a tad difficult to manage on low cals.. So UD starts tonight at 6!!

Just popping in here to say hello as well. I'm on MFP. Will have to link up on there x

We can support each other out then, so I'm starting a DD at 6 pm tonight.. Just eaten crackers and cheese spread and having tea with hubby and kids at 5ish and then that's it!

Going to do a 6-6 plan then I think as that will work better for me.. So having a calm day today leading up to 6pm. Really finding it strange to throw caution to wind and not point or count every single morsel past my lips.

Thank you x

Starting at 13-13. And weighing that for the LAST time!!

Do you think it makes a difference that the hours your body is down on calories though is shorter? In theory I might stop eating at 7pm on an up day and then only have 500 calories for next 36 hrs, ie 7am whereas if I do 6-6 the 500 cake is consumed over a 24hr period. Or am I over analysing...

Site says I should do 375 on a DD and 1975 on an UD. Do I stick to these as I've seen you should do 500 on a DD??

Been reading that some of you do your days from 6-6 or similar. How do you find that works for you?? Do you still lose weight?

Wow ladybird. That's fab Confession time that my start didn't happen but today is the day. Will weigh in a bit when I get up and I'm starting on a DD. thanks for support.

Hi all, can I join in? Tried a few times with VLCD, 9 days being the longest I stuck at it. I know I can do the restrictive part, but think this will be easier to give me a bit of respite and have a social life. Getting going tomorrow. Have about four stone to lose.

Well I'm not giving up. Still trying to get going. Day 1 again.

I managed all day at work and then just binged when I got in. Was soooo hungry!

Thanks guys. Feeling really positive today and hoping being busy at work will distract me from hunger today. Not weighing again till Sunday so will be glad of a STS.

*creeps back in quietly* well, I got the job and started this week! I also lost 6 pound last week due to bad toothache leaving me unable to manage anything more than my packs and the odd piece of fruit. Ive slipped a bit the last three days, but am determined still to do this. Vi figure...

Week 1 - 6 pounds down!! Been a bit AWOL due to a busy weekend etc.. But chuffed to report a first week loss of 6 pounds!! Onwards and downwards.

So nice to buy new clothes isn't it because your old ones are too big X

Well done on losing what you have so far x

Soup sounds nice. Just popping in to say hello x

Hi derby nanny thanks for that and well done on your loss so far x

Well done fizzy fluff. That's great going x

Thanks hannata, that's really kind of you.. I'm having a good nose around when I get five mins here and there. You've done so well, we'll done you x

Hellooooo! Well it's not so much of a daily diary, in that its day 4 already, but it's going well so far. On a DD today and mostly using up Slim &Save products that I had to keep within 500 cals.. would love to get to know people better and give / receive support.

Oh jeeez. I just logged my weight in an app I use my BMI has hit 30.

14-1. I'm still here trying to get on the wagon. Day one (again). I know if I stick to it, it will work. I know the first few days are the hardest but I can get thru them. My motivation for wanting and needing to do this is there. My will power - nowhere to be seen. Any tips on how to deal...

Hello. Popping in here as we'll. I have a similar date around the 9 th December for something thatch want to lose the weight for, so would be great to jivvy each other along.. Are you planning to do s and s for a while then?

Hi lou. That would be great. I'm 5-8. Have always found a buddy helps massively. I like the thought of JUDDD as well and would hope to so that after this. Will pop over to say hello.

Day 1 (again) 14 flipping stone Well I could groan at my apparent failure again to get going, but I'm not going to. I'm positive all the way now. I thought I could maybe swop one or two of the packs for a 100/150 cal meal, but I was just so hungry and then I got a job interview, an all day...

Hey guys... Well I'm disappearing until Saturday morning when I'll be in a better position to do this. I stupidly thought I could substitute a meal or two for something equivalent to 150 cals or so and obviously I can't. I have an interview tomorrow and its an all day thing, so I just don't...

Well done on progress so far. You've done great.

Day 2- 13/10 2 pound down from yesterday.. Finding today really hard going.. Feeling really hungry, just about to have my third meal, hoping to stretch to 5 for last one and then cuppas and water for the night. pleased to see 2 gone.. Hope it continues.

Just having my last meal and a cuppa and I'm done. Day 1- check. Thanks for support guys x

Day 1 for me too. Good luck x

Hi..I always figure with exercise, get the first week done, deal with hunger or light heads and then think about exercise week two. X

Thank you. Still at 13-12 so off I go. One pack so far, determined today to do this x

*creeps back into diary* I'm useless.. Had a horrible few weeks.. Still determined to do it and will be back on it tomorrow. I know I can do this. I just have to get thru the first few days..

Day one 13-12 For lots of reasons I didn't get on this yesterday. Anyway normal life resumed and today is it. Thanks for the support. I will remember why I want to do this. And I am going to it. How long on average does it take to get into ketosis?

Morning all. My scales were not kind today. Heaviest ever. Feels I have a mountain to climb. 13-12 for the last time. A day with the kids to keep me occupied even if it does involve baking biscuits with them. Wish me luck. Looking forward to getting to know you all. x

Weighed and measured and ready to go.. Waist - 36 Hips - 44.5 Bust - 41 Arm - 13 BMI - 28 Weight 13 stone 3 pounds!

Good luck x

Evening everybody, hope you have all had a fab bank holiday. Just polished off a pack of cookies as a last supper ready to get going tomorrow x

Finally got my head where it needs to be to restart this and kick the butt of this weight for good.. Wish me luck. Restart tomorrow. X

Yet again work has got in the way this week and I ended up following weight watchers for a week which I figure is better than nothing. Weigh in tomorrow and then I am good to go. Not away with work, so no excuses. Whoop.

Thanks bdd.. A better day. Didn't eat all my points. So busy and didn't find time to eat.. Feeling really positive and motivated still so that's good. Hope very one else is doing good. X

Well a totally naff day and that's putting it mildly. But main thing being I stuck to it. Whoop!

Hi Nat. Welcome. I can't help with the points but good luck and well done for taking control. I'm on day 4 and finding it fine so far. X

Day four done. First day I had the 'fancy chocolate' thoughts but pushed them aside. Used all my points but full and happy. Chuffed with my bag. Have packed it with bananas and good stuff for work tomorrow. Hope everyone is good..

Evening all. Another good day and a sneaky peek boosted the motivation this morning. Used all my points. And food shopping arrived today with lots of WW friendly stuff, so looking forward to the next week. My radley bag should arrive tomorrow.. Excited? Muchly.

Well done on progress so far. You can do it. Think beach. Think bikini..

Welcome back. I feel your pain.. Not enough hours to concentrate on us at the end of the day by which point we are starving!! Good luck!!

Thanks for the support guys.. Day 2 done and I used every one of my points as we were out and about. Not the easiest but I did it all the same. Felt great waking up this morning feeling that finally I've taken control of my eating.

Thank you.. Well good day had, just a few cups of tea left for today and day 1 is done. Have treated myself massively today to a radley handbag.. Never had one, always coveted one, so that's my reward for starting. I plan to treat myself after every half stone or stone, things I would never...

Thank you.

Anyone know how much these are each. My helpful hub chucked the packet and emptied the bin before I realised... Thank you

Hi. Can I join in here? Just started today and weigh 13-4 so hopefully won't be here long..

Morning all, I've just restarted WW today.. Determined this time it's going for good. Would love support and look forward to getting to know you.

Aww thanks for visiting. Slight blip in my starting date which has moved to today. Disappointed at the delay but couldn't be helped.. Caught short at work and ended up being away without notice so no food with me. Anyway scales done at its 13st 5 as starting weight.. Lets go!! Last time I'm...

Hiya all. My slim and save order arrived today so tomorrow it's all go here. Really looking forward to getting going and seeing these pounds go for good. All diaries seem so positive and motivational so good to read. I'm a five day weigher, so will weigh tomorrow and then every five days...
