Day 3 Feeling good this morning as my children all sept through till 7am!! Lovely!! Hubby off today so he's done the school run, much less stressful in the mornings when I haven't got to rush and get myself and all 3 ready by 8.30. Had my mothers little tea party yesterday! I must confess...

I'm a terrible emotional eater, always eat from boredom, stress, if I'm tired or the kids are playing up! You've done so well so far, don't beat yourself up over some toast and a bit of choc, if you leave it there you will be fine! (Still somthing I need to learn to do) keep going, seeing how...

Awww thank you Phoenix! You are right the important thing is to keep trying. I always feel ashamed after each failed attempt. I hope you are getting on well with the diet, will have a read of your diary later. So day one has been fine, no issues! in fact if anything I feel really upbeat and...

Day one (again) Weight this morning 16st 5lbs!!! Shameful! But the last time I will see that number on the scale! I saw a pic someone took of me over the weekend and honestly didn't recognise myself! I know it's daft because at that weight and only 5'4 I'm bound to look a right fat mess. I...

Back again! Still got upwards of 6 stone to lose, started a new diary, was depressing looking at the old one and how many times I fell off the wagon!! I'm back in work end of oct after being on maternity leave and.......my uniform dosnt fit! Arghhh!!!! have 5 weeks now to try and lose as much as...

Day 2 yesterday was spent running around had to take my eldest to an appointment first thing and the rest of the day was spent out and about entertaining the kids, was forcast rain but ended up lovely and sunny! Day at home today cleaning and drinking water!!!! Don't drink anywhere near enough...

Well done on day 1!!!! These first few days are the hardest but so worth it once you get on those scales. I'm with you on needing to drink more today, I always fill some bottles and put them in the fridge the night before, much easier to drink ice cold. I'm normally ok with my water intake but...

Hello there, just wanted to say all the best to you!! We are the same starting weight. I too have started failed and restarted countless times over the years. I restarted yesterday (again! Lol) all the best!!! Let's do this for the LAST time!!! Xx

Day one yesterday was ok, got through it but did feel a little sick as the afternoon went on, think I need to try and space my shakes out more evenly (especially in these first few days) I usually like to wait as long as poss to have them coz I get more picky in the afternoon. I used to joke...

Back again for restart number?!?!? Stocked up on water and coke zero, will have my first shake mid morning. Not gonna ramble on and over analyse everything, just got to get on with it!! Still time this year to make a difference to my health, appearance and self esteem, don't want to be one of...

Thank you Katie! I'm sooooo fed up with myself starting and stopping (well mostly stopping). The first time I did a vlcd I sailed through it, but every restart since seems to get more and more difficult. So cross with myself!!! Hope your doing ok, will try and catch up with everyone's diaries...

Well, fell off the wagon spectacular style since my last post! (well, more like i dived head first off the wagon into a vat of chocolate!! :/ ). TOTM, no excuse but that's probably why! Nevermind, these things happen I suppose. The trick must be to not let it roll on for 6 months. Managed a...

Woken up this morning and feeling better. Sorry to see a big fat cross on my chart!!! Nevermind,! Could have been a lot worse. I opted for a cheese omelette and salad and stopped at that. sorry that I gave into temptation but it is what it is, done now just got to get on with today. I WILL have...

I caved!!!! :( off to bed x

Had another 100% TS day again so far. Had a lovely day, really sunny here so took a walk to the beach with the children then spent the rest of the afternoon at my parents house with the boys playing in the garden. Just had my last bar and coke zero, struggling tonight! Not physically hungry at...

The rest of today has been fine diet wise, nothing to report. Just had my last bar and am enjoying a can of coke zero before I go for a bath and try and get an early night! Hubby watching football, again lol! It's gonna be a long month! I hope you all have a nice evening xx

Sorry to hear your feeling so tired. There is nothing on the tv except football so perfect excuse for an early night! Maybe with a good book? Hope you feel revived by tomorrow :) x

Hello there, just caught up on your diary and wanted to say hello! I hope you are finding it easier as the days are going by, stick with it it will be soooo worth it, try and ingnore the scales if you can and just weigh once a week. I tend to be a daily weigher but have manged to stay off the...

Hello there, I've just caught up on your diary. Well done on deciding to restart, just concentrate on getting through this week and it will get so much easier! I'm in a similar situation to you with a young family, it can be so draining sometimes physically and emotionally but it's worth every...

Thank you!! -7lbs so pleased with that! Oooo a chart for each pound! I never thought of that hmmmm might not be enough room on my fridge for a chart that big lol. Thanks for the support! I hope you are doing well on your own exante journey :) x

First weigh in today, 7lbs gone!!! Woo hoo, it's what I was aiming for. I was secretly hoping for more but can't complain, half a stone in a week is not to b sniffed at! :) (we are never satisfied are we lol). More of the same this week and am hoping to be in the 15s next week, fingers crossed...

Wow! You've lost so much!! Well done!!!! :) you must feel so much better. I can't wait to be where you are. Cheese and crackers not so bad, could have been a big fat greasy takeaway!! Push through now for the next few days, 59 days on the diet is a big achievement! I'm only in my first week and...

Right im off to give little miss her 'dream feed' then bed for me. Have been 100% TS again today, resisted the chicken curry my hubby made even though it smelt lovely. I hope everyone else is ok and winning their own battle with the bulge lol. Will be soooooo worth it! Keep going everyone! :)...

Had a difficult day yesterday, lots of little challenges! Must admit I did cheat a little but wasn't over the top (2 slices of ham and small piece of cheese) could have been worse and I'm not beating myself up about it! Other than that had 3 bars and 3.5 lts of water. Today going well, have...

You are doing so well! Carry on as you are and you will be there in no time! And by making sensible food choices now as your losing the weight should help to to have control and maintain long term! A skill I'm yet to aquire lol!

Feeling stressed!!! Can't get the little one to settle, she's shattered but this cough keeps disturbing her so she's not getting hold of her sleep properly! I want chocolate! Funny how when I'm stressed/tired that's my automatic response!

Just had my first bar and have had half litre of water so far! Started sorting through my wardrobe, have kept hold of my size 12 and 14 clothes and always said I can't wait to wear them again, but honestly going through them now I can see how old fashioned some of them look (it's been that long...

Thanks cate! Your so right! Time, when you look back has flown by but when you look forward seems miles away! Think I might make myself a little chart (like my boys reward chart) give myself a little sticker for every day I get through! Lol xx Day 4 Challenge for today will b to stay awake...

You sound so determined and confident! well done, keep going as you are and you will b at goal in no time! Good luck, I hope I can b as determined as you! Xx

Day 2 (yesterday) Well day 2 passed without any problems, had 3 bars and 3lts of water. My 2 year old started with a stomach bug in the afternoon, poor thing couldn't keep anything down! So I didn't have a chance to even think about food! Day 3 Well my little man much better today thank...

Well been AWOL for a couple of weeks, totally lost focus and determination! Just been feeling sooooo tired and I always make bad decisions regarding food when I'm tired! Feeling better now. Little miss is settling into a better routine and I've been taking my iron tablets more regularly (anaemic...

Going ok so far today!! Just had choc orange bar and have drank 2lts so far, will aim for another 2Lts as I'm not getting any fluids from shakes. Hope everyone else having a good day x

Day 2 Had a good nights sleep little miss slept straight through till 4.30 had a quick feed and went back till 7.15 when my eldest came in so feeling revived! Thinking back to my blip last night, in hindsight it could have been worse! Had a few biscuits that I shouldn't have but I stopped at...

Your right! Just need to put it behind me. Thank you for the encouragement! There is always cheese and ham in I just never think to go for that, it's like I go into automatic and before I even realise what I'm doing I'm shovelling in the junk! ?. New day tomorrow!! Got to keep going!! Thank you...

Well day one was going really well, even made it past my usual 4pm danger time! That was untill a very challenging bedtime with my eldest (who is five) I'm such an emotional eater! I could feel my stress levels rising and I dived head first without any hesitation into the biscuit tin!!!!! ...

To be in the 15's by next week would b lovely! Haven't seen them since before I had my second child and he's 2 now! Going ok so far, lots of water drank, will have to get a bottle, find it easier to keep track of my intake with a ltr bottle. Going to have my first bar in a min, the choc orange...

Just read through your diary and so much of it resonates with me!! I can't wait to get back into My size 14's (got so many lovely clothes that don't fit!) while I've been stuck in tatty old leggings and shapeless tops for the last 2-3 years! Terrible! Well done on your loss so far! Your doing...

Well, day one underway! Weight this morning 16st 9lb so 1lb less than I thought. Will try and leave it as long as possible before I have my first bar, I always want to pick more as the day goes on, 4pm onwards is usually where I lose my willpower. will also aim for 3lts of water. Feels like I've...

Hello there, I apologise in advance as I'm not very tech savvy and will probably make lots of mistakes while finding my way round this site! I'm 5'4 and weigh a horrible 16 and a half stone! Cringe!! My ideal weight would be 10 stone, though can't remember the last time I weighed this. Got to 11...
