Hey, I see everything is till going in the right direction and the inches are melting away. Keep up the good work, I've got some catching up to do since been on hols for 2 weeks.

Morning peeps, well that's me back from my hols and I'm really chuffed that I only put on 2 1/2 lbs which is amazing considering what I've eaten the last few days. I did a lot of walking on holiday most of which was non intentional but hey ho must have helped. so how is everyone else doing? ive...

I can totally sympathise with you on all aspects of what's going on. We are off on holiday on Sunday and to be honest after paying all the bills there isn't much left and I still have the hotels to pay and then there is sod all left to live on. Tried asking the bank for payment holiday but being...

Morning, Well the countdown begins to my holiday and the big 40. Weight is down a 1lb but I am due on now, which is typical when I'm going away. Had a really bad day yesterday with pain, to much walking round Glasgow looking for customers...agony. I am stressing out unbelievably just now and...

Morning, So have been on for a couple of days, just not in the mood, things are up and down, including weight although down a lb this morning but I thing TOM is on the way. Has anyone tried the zero noodles that have finally made it to the uk? Might be quite good to add to our packs as they...

Hey Hun, Sounds like your having quite a time of it just now. You sound very focused and disciplined though which is very hard to do when so much is going on around you, so keep positive, as it rubs off on the rest of us.:)

I feel totally the same so remember your not on your own. Chin up Hun.:)

Happy birthday for tomorrow. Exactly a week before me. Hope it's a good one.??

It is such a great feeling seeing things too big because of all the positives were doing, but equally scarey incase we go the other way. I did all this about 4 yrs ago and have gradually been buying big clothes again, gutted. Next clothes are not big made. Something that Gok Wan said was buy a...

So update on yesterday's fiasco. Home but still not spoken yet apart from a goodnight, we'll its a start. As you said HM today is a new day. Having my oatmeal as I type and will have a choc shake at lunch and meal pk with veg tonight, Put on a pair of old work trousers and they are lovely and...

Thx guys, Im home but we havent spoken yet. As with my packs it wasn't intentional to not have them just the way its worked out. Will be better tomorrow and be back in he right mind set. Thank you.

Well today has ended badly. I am currently sitting in a lay by after a big fight with OH and I really don't want to go back and start all over again. DD is texting as I was horrible to her as well. Need some grub and a pee but I'm a right stubborn biatch. Oh what to do. Only eaten 1pack today...

Double, for thick hair, well I've heard it all now, what a bloody cheek. I could do with getting some pjs of sorts for my hols, only it's going to be too hot for my thermal ones. Envy everyone that can wear heels, my hips can't stand the pain far less can my feet..lol. Have a good day.x

Morning all. So I am currently sitting in bed with the smell of a cooked breakfast wafting through the house, and its killing me,want some so bad. However I have been given a silent cup of coffee and that's it. OH is not talking to me coz apparently I turn everything into an argument so there...

Morning. I agree, nothing better Han someone noticing your weightloss. I haven't had that even though is over 16lbs now but never mind. I agree about loosing the fat clothes as it does remind you when you have to buy bigger again that the weight is creeping on. Anyway your doing great and the...

Morning just caught up on your hectic life, I really don't know how you do it. You certainly deserve these new boobs for Xmas. You go gal! Have a relaxing afternoon. Xx

We all have these hiccups sooner or later. What date is your birthday coz mine is in 3 weeks as well.

You will be fine babe, youve not got this far to start cocking things up now and you have the peeps on here to keep Geeing you up. :)

I agree with your Gym comment D, wish I could and wish I had the enthusiasm as well. Sadly my TOM is due just when we are due to go on holiday which Im not amused with at all. What did you go and see a the Pics?

evening all. Had a good day, funny though I was hungry earlier today than usual but held off. Really enjoyed my dinner tonight, mushrooms,broccoli with a piece of salmon and i poured the mac N cheese over the top. It was lush. I decided to try on my trousers again and actually I can get them on...

Morning peeps. Well it's weigh in day and boy has the scales been up and down this week but they were thankfully down thismorning. Another 2lbs off. The inches are not melting as quick as I would like. :(

Sadly they are too small. Can get them up, just not fastened, or anywhere near it.:(

Hey Missy, How did it go then? Im sure you stormed it. :)

Your doing fab hun, and totally agree with the feeling you get when you reach that milestone. Funny I havent had they baggy clothes feeling yet:( Im sure it will come. Even getting into a comfy size 16 is a nice feeling coz you can walk into a shop and pick something a bit easier than when its...

Come D you can do it. :)

Sounds like your right on track to me. Going to the gym is great, i have no interest at all to go to anything like that, so good on ya. Enjoy your time off.

Good evening ladies, How is every doing? I thought everything was going fine the other day as weight was down 2lb on tuesday yet up to to last weeks weight yesterday. Puzzled.com. So today I have had a soup for breaky, shake for lunch and mushrooms and broccoli covered with spag bol. Almost...

It is very hard for your brain to keep up with your body. When I first lost weight I was a size 20 in the may and in a matter of months I was a 14 in most things and a 12 in some things.But never really got my head round being that size, i suppose that why I got big again, albeit not a 20 but...

Hey, how you been doing today? :)

evening all, Not been a bad day. thai soup for breaky, fruit shake and spag bol with cauli and salad and i will be honest, i made 2 mini burgers out of left over steak mince, but really thats ok isnt it? Found out today that my brother has just been offered a job in canada, so he leaves at the...

well done on another loss and the 4 weeks has flown in hasnt it. I only have 2 more thursdays to weigh in before I go on holiday.

Glad to hear you had a good weekend and havent spoiled the weightloss at all. Im dreading going away as I want to try everything everywhere. Funny I dont go for the sweets just the meat so thats a good thing. Heres to a good week.

Your doing great coping with early mornings and shifting your eating habits. It's a hard one to do. I see another 4 off as well,that's great. Keep it up.

Internet came back on last night, yeh! so I've been up since 5.15am to watch today's f1 race and I already feel knackered. yesterday was fine, dinner was some chicken and veg followed by the crispy choc made into a hot pudding and it was lovely. Drank loads as well. Lets hope today is the same.

Are we there yet? 18lbs (3lbs lost, 15lbs to go) Hamish's mum 14lb (4 and 1/4 lbs lost, 9 3/4lbs to go ) GeMzY 14lb (7lbs lost, 7lbs to go ) Stephanees 8lb (0 lost 8 to go) Maka 10lb (0 lost, 10lb to go) Scousemouse0151 8lb (0lb lost 8lb to go) Morgan1 10lb (3.5 lost 6.5 to go) Slim1day 14lbs...

Oh and forgot to add I don't have Internet and I'm getting major withdrawl. And my body aches today.

Afternoon all. Had a good day yesterday I think. Soup for breaky Choco shake for lunch Pepper stuffed with chilli with cauli and broccoli 2 boiled eggs Couldn't sleep last night, was still awake at 4am then up at 7am with pooches. Sadly was still up a pound but I reckon it not going to the...

my red fruits for the weekend as it sound indulgent so classing it as a treat. Got cookies and cream as well.

:banana dancer:WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!Brilliant News.:banana dancer::wee:

Apparently every 10lbs put on is a dress size, so I assume that the same would go the other way. How true it is I dont know, have my doubts. You sound like your doing great and I look forward to seeing what youve lost tomorrow.

I really like the cottage pie with some broccoli. Had it every night this week, apart from tonight, had the spag bol.....not quite as nice I don't think.

Have to say I'm almost laughing out loud at your conversation on here. Wobbly bits and fat bits. Hilarious. I have to say whilst sitting in a car park in Edinburgh there are a hell of a lot of women with skinny legs and large rotund torsos. Me well I'm wide hipped(dodgey ones at that) big...

Thank you. Not so much rolling into week 3 as strolling now.

Thx Ha ha. Soups really not that bad in the morning. It's hot and it does the job. Have a good one.

Thanks D, Not to sure about the fab at 40 though only got 3 weeks and have a holiday to contend with. Nevermind. Onto week three I come.

Morning ladies, well is a driech day out there but I suppose we were told it would be. So jumped on the scales this morning and first they read 14.6, went back on before jumping in the shower and it read 14.7 so going to say -4lbs :stickdance: which is what I was aiming for to reach the stone...

Hi, its is and the deed is done.lol

Glad to hear your enjoying and managing fine. If you have been 100% then there is no reason why you shouldnt have a good loss. Look forward to seeing the loss, good luck.

Thx guys. Don't think it hurts to have a look on the scales, keeps you going I think. Still just 2lbs down from last week which is good but would have expected more. I think I had too much veg so will cut back tonight as weigh in tomorrow. Had porridge for breaky got a choccy shake for lunch...

Well done on getting through day 1, roll on next week to see your first weeks loss.

I hate the thought of knee ops, sound so painful. Met a woman today who tripped over her dog and broke her knee in 3 places, all I could say was Is the dog still alive..lol Good luck

Hi, You have to do what feels right for you. I know what you mean about funding this sort of diet. I've bought quite a few pieces on eBay now, which has been a help. Keep us posted on what your doing. Take care. X

There's nothing worse than not feeling hungry when you know you have to have something. You will need to post a pic of your new boots. I've been buying loads on eBay for my hols, it's all a hit or a miss for sizes though. Hope your having a good evening and managed to eat something.

Hello, I hate the whole sore neck thing, and a right bugger when trying to drive. Hope you've had a good day dispute the neck. X

7lbs is great and more than 2stone in less than 8 weeks is well good. Keep in that zone.x

I agree you need a second opinion, better to be safe than sorry. Have to admit that I feel like I'm constantly on my pain killers or taking some kind of drug as always feel a bit spaced out and woozy. Hope you feel better soon. xx

Evening all, Had a reasonable day today. Out at 8am, home for 6pm 170 miles later. Had a sneaky look a the scales again and they seem to be going in the right direction, roll on Thursday. Food intake was ok I think, Porridge for breaky Strawberry shake for lunch which I actually really enjoyed...

Thank you that's so kind. I suppose we are never happy with ourselves, even when I lost a lot of weight I still wasn't happy. Everything is fine here now, just the usual home frustrations. How are you?

Me in August before finding sNs and all you lovely ladies.(Im in the black)

Thx hun, How you doing?

me at my thinest and even then i still had 2 stone to go. sadly im back up again.

been looking for my fat pics. if this works it is me at my biggest

evening all, hows everyone been today? I have had a good day I think, soup for breaky, shake for lunch, cottage pie with veg and a bar with coffee, oh and 4 ltrs of water. looking for that 4lbs off by thursday to hit that stone mark. Day 12 here I come.

Well here I am sitting in dobbies car park in the glorious sunshine having my shake and boy did I need it. Drank nearly 2 Ltrs already and my belly keeps making gargling noises as my shake goes down. Need to get some phone calling done. But first things first.....toilet. I see everyone's had...

Yeh!!!!! Great stuff. And it's only 2 weeks in. Brilliant.

Well done you. Just remember that generally it's a stone a month and you've done it in 2 weeks and you have another 2 to go yet(all well as the rest) lol. Now that's just grrrreat!!!!!

Ha Ha :rolleyes: what you like.

Welcome. If youve done CD and survived then this should be a breeze for you, especially with all the choice that you have. Good luck and I look forward to reading how your doing and seeing your loses.

Thats a great loss and a huge leap forward to reach your first mini goal. Keep it up.

What I would love to know is have you not asked the burning question yet??lol

So sorry to read about your tough few days, but youve done brilliantly not to feel the need to console yourself with food like many of us would. Hope today is looking a bit better. I found out yesterday that one of the ladies that worked for me in my last job had had a stroke and died 3 weeks...

Hey, cant believe thats week gone by for you already, thats crazy. You will defo be over that stone mark. Your doing just great. x

Yip all is ok now. Housework is the best stress release I think. How you doing today?

Thx Rebekah, All is ok now, Had my protein this morning instead of tonight in the form of a 2 egg mushroom omlette. Cooked OH the usual big breakfast, then got stuck into the house work. Just had some veg soup and will have a meal pk with a wee bit of veg for dinner. Going to take the dogs out...

morning, been up since 6.30 to watch the F1 race(Big Fan),havent eaten yet and still not ready. Yesterday was a weird day. Had my porridge in the morning and didnt have anything again till about 4pm which was a piece of chicken while walking the dogs. At the back of seven decided as hubs was...

Morning one and all, Been up since 7am and managed to hold off having porridge till 9am. Supposed to be going out shopping with hubs today which im dreading coz i hate shopping and hes a nightmare. probably wont eat again till tea time and wont drink enough either. Ive been good though so not...

Its boredom that makes us want to eat, not that we actually need it. Its a habit like smoking and just as bad for us. Bread and tiger rolls are my downfall, especially with cheese,or crisps or some black pudding, oh the list is endless..lol Just keep writing on here and you will soon forget and...

Evening all, been a day on not eating, which I know is bad but its just how it turned out. had my porridge for breakfast and only just had a vanilla/caramel shake about 6pm which is terrible aw well. cooking beef olives for hubs and DD and I need to decide what I'm going to have with some veg...

Don't get disheartened, it's maybe just fluid, step back on and you might find its down again. I weigh myself before bed to see how much Fluid i retain during the day and it lets me see if I'm on the right track or not if it only goes up a pound or two, even better when I've stayed the same from...

Weighed in yesterday Are we there yet? 18lbs (0lbs lost, 18lbs to go) Hamish's mum 14lb (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go ) GeMzY 14lb (4lbs lost, 10lbs to go ) Stephanees 8lb (0 lost 8 to go) Maka 10lb (0 lost, 10lb to go) Scousemouse0151 8lb (0lb lost 8lb to go) Morgan1 10lb (0 lost 10lb to go) Slim1day...

i think ive been pretty good today. Porridge for breakfast. tomato soup for lunch. salmon steak, asparagus, and cabbage, covered with the curry pack. Caught up with some tv and now watching F1(big fan) Nearly time for bed.

5yrs is a good innings, we were together 6yrs and 1 child down before we did it. :) Looking at your stats you have done phenomenally well. That takes dedication and patience well done.

Aw bless you. I assume your actually engaged? If so the hard part is done at least..:) Funny my work is the same about our hols, prefer us to just have a week at a time, although wont stop you having more, just wont let you forget it, especially if you don't hit targets. I'm away at the end of...

Just stick at it, drink loads and even have a can of coke zero to help fill you up when your really craving. It will pass in another day or so, we were all the same boat just remember we are here to help if you need it. Be strong.

Of course I don't mind, crash away. I'm sure you'll do brilliantly, its really quite easy and if you've done shakes etc before then it will be a breeze. What have you ordered? I got the starter pk to see if if would like them and thankfully I think there great. Good luck and keep us all posted...

When are you wanting to get married? I just had my 15th anniversary last week. I didn't really give my hubs a choice about our wedding, we were going on holiday and I just said how do you fancy just getting married and then the holiday can be our honeymoon!! worked he was happy to go with what...

your doing great and looking forward to seeing that ticker on the move. Nothing nice than a flatter tummy, and dropping those jeans sizes. Good luck tomorrow if your weighing in.

haha, must have been bad then, or maybe its just my taste spuds...lol

Your doing fab hun. Its nice having the option of having some protein if you feel the need, but I find the veg mixed into a meal pack is more than enough. Youve done brilliant to be 100% for all this time without adding extras. 1stoner down here you come..:)

hey, sounds like your on track, and we all seem to be thinking alike as well. I had salmon tonight with veg and curry poured over the top,it was pretty nice. I have every faith in you to get over that stone mark by Monday.

I had the curry tonight with a piece of salmon and some veg{poured the sauce over them}Needed a bit more water but wasn't too bad. Hope youve had a good day.

I most certainly will be taking it one day at a time, I think I would go mad thinking to much in advance.

:stickdance: morning, well I am one happy :bunnydance:First weigh in and lost 10lbs and considering TOTM started yesterday I am well :wee: I even gave in and had a fourth pk last night of crispy chocolate hot pudding...mmmm. So let week 2 begin.

Good evening ladies, Well made it back the 280miles from the office in one piece and with a new car. So the burning question was did I stick to plan....? Well I had my porriage for breakfast,then a shake about 4.30pm. I made it to the hotel at 9pm and the girls had ordered me a plain chicken...

Morning one and all, Well almost organised for my wee jaunt to Rotherham. Just need to empty the car a bit as getting a new one tomoz. Just had porriage which was more like soup, put way too much water in it. Still nice though. Got a shake ready to have for lunch and still can't decide what I'm...

I totally agree with you on the cottage pie. I asked my family what it looked like, DD said something I won't repeat but OH agreed it was like the mush my 17yr ends up with on her plate, baby food. It certainly needs the veg to bulk out, but good all the same. Week two already. I will keep you...

Ha ha,THX Tonight and tomorrow will be he telling time, as off to meeting in Yorkshire. I must keep strong and keep away from the gin...lol

I will join you all too. I weigh in on Thursday so will be a bit out of sync with you all. I need to loose a stone as head off to Dubai on the 28th and I want to feel a wee bit nice. Are we there yet? 18lbs (0lbs lost, 18lbs to go) Hamish's mum 14lb (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go ) GeMzY (0lbs...

evening all, So how has everyone behaved themselves today?? Ive been good so far, had cottage pie with asparagus and broccoli for tea, and have been frantically searching for cheap flights to dubai, really wish I had bought them last month when they were cheap. Any travel agents out there? lol

thx lillipud, Yes lipotrim was nasty, even if it did work. Ive had reasonable watery evening. :)

Good afternoon. I am currently sitting in a tesco car park in the sunshine and have just finished my lush chocolate shake, it was really chocolatey. Had a quick read to see who's lost what and OMG your all doing great. Right I'm hitting the road again, things to do and people to see. Catch...

That's great news. So all the new newbies should be weighing in at some point this week going to be interesting and exciting. Lets hope I can do it too. Again well done.!!!!

Well done that's brilliant news and its great incentive for the rest of us and you to keep it going. Xx?

Hi Derika. The weather isn't to bad now, but I am about 40miles from home so that could change. I'm not weighing in till Thursday. Should be interesting as I have the works meeting in Yorkshire the day before so need to be well prepared.

Morning Hun, Really feel for you with your mum situation. I grew with a mum constantly on diets and I suppose I just followed suit. My mum has been more disappointed that I've allowed the weight to go back on as all she wants is to see me slim and happy coz she knows I'm not happy as I am. Not...

Morning ladies. Pinch Punch first of the month.....ALREADY!!! So struggled to sleep last night, mind going into over drive, not on the best form this morning, however I'm having my porriage and I'm actually ok with this as a breaky,bit stodgy so would add more water next time. Will be a shake...

I've had no probs as yet, just caved in and had a 4th pack, one of the crunch ones with a bit of milk zapped in the microwave....it was lovely. Looking forward to that again.

Surely that doesn't apply to all flavours does it? Sorry being a bit dim..

What is the difference between the white and silver packs? Your lucky to be at the stage of no hunger now. I'm peckish now but I think it's just too late to eat now, so I'm going to ignore and enjoy the movie. good luck for tomorrow, any idea when the deed will be done?

You sound like your doing great. As with water your on the right track using bottles. I have a 2lt bottle for during the day in the car then refill for the evening. Agree with you on the food front and vile lipotrim. Keep up the good work.

It was lovely,THX and reasonably filling. Now got a blk coffee in hand and bar by my side, but if I'm honest I don't actually want it, so I may just put it back in the box. My oh is in bed now, well almost, he's ironing is shirts for work. My DD s locked in her room as usual and I have the box...

Good stuff, keep up the good work and remember we're all just a message away if you need support.

Evening all, well I've had the laziest day yet,stayed in pjs all day. So had chicken soup for lunch and made up mushroom pasta with broccoli,mushrooms and half a pepper and it was lush. Almost finished by 4lts of water. whats everyone been up to today?

morning ladies, so its Sunday and ive been up since 7am WTH. its now 9.30am and im just having my first pk,caramel shake;quite nice. had a look at the scales this morning and a happy bunny so far, lets hope for more by Thursday. really need to go out and buy some eggs for OH breaky but its a...

I was thinking about you today and your cruise, glad you had fun. Don't envy the shopping trip tomoz, my idea of hell. Enjoy.x

Well done on your first day 100% to plan. You will probably find you'll be hungry in a day or two. I find weighing yourself everyday for the first few days helps keep you going as you can see instant results. That's just me. like you I've not been swimming or in a swim suit for many years. I...

Well done. Evenings and weekends outs are always the hardest. Are you weighing in tomorrow or Monday? Looking forward to seeing how you've done. x

So how did it all go today? I had every intention of going out today, but just never happened, ended up in my room watching movies and putting things on ebay to raise some cash to keep doing this diet,lol. Youve only got tomorrow to get out of the way to see your first weeks results.

That is bloody brilliant if I do say so myself. These loses are great for us newbies who havent weighed in yet. Keep up the good work.:)

wouldnt worry too much about the housework, as long as your happy and loosing.:)

Well I did a little bit of cleaning, the bathroom and our bedroom, left the hubs to do the rest while i chilled watching movies. The Thai soup was a bit like exantes one, pretty nice and would have again. Just cooked up veg and chicken and coated with the mild curry pack. was stuffed after half...

HaHA, i didnt watch my OH do it i lay on my bed watching sex in the city.

Well I'm up, showered and had my first pk of the day, Thai soup seeing as its near lunch time. Made OH bacon sarnies..MMMMmmm. House really needs a good Hoover and clean, but just can't get peace to get on and do it. Hey ho.

Looking forward to seeing what you've lost in your first week. After sitting reading about the chicken and ribs my mouth is watering,think I should go and eat something now. Have a great 100% weekend. x

Morning Rebekah, thanks for stopping by my page. Your doing great considering you have tooth ache. Nothing worse in the world, even child birth isn't as bad. enjoy your weekend, sounds fun. x

Welcome. You will manage that loss no problem by your birthday. Good luck and keep us all posted.your not alone in your journey.

Morning all, its Day 3, well so much for he lie in. Bladder woke me at 6.50, which meant dogs got up. So last night I had a bar at about 9.00pm so that was four packs, not had any extra protein yet just some veg. anyhoo I am bak in bed after a blk coffee and drugs and watching a bit of tv. Don't...

I had the spaghetti last night with added mushrooms it was lovely. Funny though it just made me want more. Lol. Had the cheeses one tonight with broccoli and peppers,but feel the need for something else, but going to hold off as long as possible. im really looking forward to seeing your loses...

Evening all, how is everyone? ive been completely on plan so far. Had the porriage for breaky,shake about 2.45 and just had cheeses pasta with broccoli and peppers,which was all rather nice. Was up at 2.30am needing loo(not the norm) and my pooch decides he needs to go too so thank god it's...

Morning all, well it's day 2 for me and I feel.. Just had some porriage which was okay, not as nice as CD I think but it does the job. Will have a shake for lunch and mac N cheese for dinner with veggies. Oh and plenty of water. how is everyone else feeling today? Hope you all have a great 100%...

Just had a thought, I met my husband 22yrs ago today, and we married 15yrs ago yesterday(is it obvious we didn't do anything) lol

Ha ha, made a blk coffee then going to hit the sack so I don't think of food. Been to the loo so many times today, but I have drunk 4lts of water.(I have a 2ltr bottle) and aim to drink two. Roll on tomorrow.

Hey guys, totally get the pic thing, I'm never in any pics if I can help it. I'm generally behind the camera which is a gooooood thing. I hosted an American come dine at the weekend and thankfully was only in one pic and hat was of me holding my homemade pecan pie( it was amazing) if I do say...

Hi DD, haha, like your thinking. I think because they all know I have arthritis in my hips and that too many carbs irritate it,then I am going to just have a meal pack and tell them it's just a protein meal to fill,me up with out the pain.lol the night before I'm just going to go later by...

Thanx for stopping by, loving your countdown, will make it easier to get through each day as its not giving you the same pressure. Really looking forward to seeing your first weeks loses.

Thanx Derika It's funny when you read post and see the stats and realise that there are people out there just like you. My panic just now is that I'm down south for our quarterly meeting and that generally means meeting up with the gang the night before and having a good meal and a drink, then...

So I've had a hazelnut shake for lunch with half a bar and just finished a spicy spag Bol with mushrooms and cabbage and I have to say I am suitably impressed with the tastes of all items. Looking forward to getting a full day behind me. Got 4 weeks till we fly to Dubai for our 40ths and would...

Good afternoon all fellow slimmers, my name is julie(Julz) and have just had my first delivery of S/S. i have done all the diets out there as most of you all have as well I'm sure. 3yrs ago I was introduced to my first vlcd in the form of lipotrim which helped me shift over 4stone, I then went...

Well im hoping that was the final reading. Was that weight 2 days after starting then went on one night and they read 13.8. Anyway thats what im saying as a start for a new week. Not going to look at the scales till next wed, well im going to try. Hope your all well.

Hi all, Not been on for a couple of days. Well weigh in day I came in at 13.1, so a loss of 3 lbs I think. Did have some pork at night and tuna, but didnt feel bad for doing it. Not had my dinner yet as I didnt have my bar till 4.30 so waiting for a wee bit yet. Havent drank much today which is...

I know what you mean. Nothing is shrinking yet, infact my stomache seems bigger than when i started and im not due on and it cant be fluid as i have drunk 3lts. I dont know its a first for me on this kinda diet not to loose in the first week. We shall see what the rest of the week holds. Thx

Good evening all. So have had 100% day and its been easy.Feel pretty fed up as I havent lost anything at all, so I am going treat tomorrow as my first day so I have a good starting weight. So heres to another day. x

Ha Ha It was sixth sense with colin fry.

Morning. How feeling today? Still positive i hope. Are you in ketosis? Im not. I think im just weird. Lol Have a good day. X

Morning all. Up and ready for day 6. Having a strawberry shake while watching sixth sense. Off to north berwick today then into edinburgh so hopefully will keep busy enough to not think about food to much. Weight still hasnt budged so when tomorrow comes i will take that as my starting weight...

Yip. Roll day 6. Oh its here already. Lol

Well heres hoping. Will just have to wait and see.

Well not had a bad day so far.Been 100% and still to have soup.Trying to hold off for a wee bit longer. Finally been to the loo so hopefully maybe that is why things arent moving on the scales, shall see on wed. Hope youve all had a good day.

Ha ha. Defo althougj more a lewis fan but wouldnt say no to a bit of jenson or webber.

Morning, Thx cookie, My hips are just a right hinderance right now.I used to do salsa but its just to painful to move my hips that much, even just going to town for an hour kills me.I do tend to grit my teeth and waddle round. Well I did have a bit of chicken and ham last night at about 10.15...

So hows your ego this evening? Hope your still smiling and going strong. Ive had a good day in so much as i have been 100% but i am still a bit hungry so battling with my devil whether to have some chicken or not.

Today has been easy as the joiners arrived at 4.30ish and only just left. Did manage to dish up OH and DD there roast chicken dinner and the boys sandwiches and i was dead good and waited for my soup which ive just finished. Still a bit peckish, do i or dont i???

Thx cookie. Im hoping i was 13.6+ and have lost lots this week. Yes we can do this as long as we keep pushing each other.

Me too. I was in the 12s for one day a few weeks past. I stupidly didnt weigh myself last week so dont actually know if i have lost anything. I was 13.8 the other night and was 13.2 the next day, so dont actually know what i started at. What a dumbass. We shall see on wed morning what the scales...

So its 11.30 and i have cleared out the porch ready for the joiner. Might have to put the kettle on for a cuppa. Dont want to wish my sunday away but... Well you all know where im coming from.

Glad your on the right track again. Hope you have a good day. X

Brilliant. You must be well chuffed. I dont even know what i was when i started so i might have to wait another week as it looks like i havent lost anything at all if i go by the weight i was the last time i looked. Not to worry.

Good luck. Theres nothing harder to do when the mind isnt ready for it. X

Hi Amy, You are doing really well. I like you put on loads and i didnt realise just how big i was till i saw a pic. I lost a stone a month on LT and they werent alway big numbers. The first week was only 4lb but it was totm but it was consistant. I kept telling myself that it was only 12 weeks...

Morning spyro. Well done in resisting eating to much chinese, i would have struggled with that, im like the song for the pringles add, once you pop you just cant stop. Today is day 5 already and nearing WI. Have a good day. ;) X

Morning. How did you get on yesterday? Hope your feeling a happy bunny. X

Yip its early i know but its your weigh in today, how did it go?

Morning. How you doing this morning? Hope your still not beating yourself up over 8 chips coz if you are then stop it, draw a line under them and move on. Its sunday another day already which means another day gone that we cant get back and also closer to our goals. Have a good positive day. Go...

Morning. Omg its 7.10 on a sunday, day 5 and im awake. OH is up seeing to dogs. I need to move as my back is killing me. I can hear the kettle so coffee is on its way. Dead chuffed as i didnt have anything last night. Came to bed and stayed there, hungry now though. Should manage all day ok as i...

Had my soup about an hour ago and i am still hungry. Have to bed to stay clear of the fridge. Help!!

finger crossed. Not had my tea yet and would love something solid. How was the gammon?

Well ended up going to town, which I actually hate doing, its so bloody boring.Took hubs and daughter for lunch and all I had was a diet pepsi while they ate burger/chips and macNcheese. Did the food shop and was practically crawling around the store as my hips were throabing. I had my bar for...

Aw no way.Kids eh? Its my dog thats been doing my head in. He woke me at 6.45 for his breaky and toilet, which i got up and did and no sooner went back to bed that he was whining at the door for us to get up. He hates being awake and no-one else being up about. He is worse than what my daughter...

Hi and welcome. I started on wed so on day 4 now and liking all the flavours. Good luck and well done on your massive loss so far.

Well done. Im on day 4 and still not showing anything and infact havent even lost a oz. But not letting it bother me.Onwards and downwards for us all.

Enjoy it and good luck breaking it up, I would do that but im to darn greedy and want it all at once then miss it once its all gone. Enjoy your day.

I just had my choco shake, had it hot with a splash of vanilla and it was lush. Keep on track and you will be a happy bunny.;)

well done that is a great loss. Im just on day 4 and my sneek peeks on the scales reveal....nothing lost so far..confused.com Keep it going not long now.

Honk Honk for the my full 3 days and so far on my 4th day.!!

Good morning. Glad your first day has gone well.I am day 4 on exante but have done vlcd on and off for 2 years. The shakes are all nice and the soups so far are pleasent to, loving the orange bar too. Good luck and I hope all continues to go well.

I think for your height your weight sounds about right, but i think it does depend on your age as well as we all change as we get older. I lost 4 stone and got down to 11.6 and im only 5.3 and looked very gaunt and grey, but for my height ideally i should be lighter still. You should do what you...

OMG Just read this and apart from the kids we have went through an identical journey, with what we used and what has happened since. LL to start, CD to follow and eating in between and exante. Good luck, I am just on day 4 and so far have not lost anything which is a first for me on VLCD.

Hi, I dont think you should have to worry and tell them anything.If they ask you just say you follow a low carb diet. End off!! Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Keep it going and keep on posting on here it should help keep you motivated. Good luck ;)

Good thread. If it was so harmful then why do we not hear more about people dying from it? I think people hear someone say something and pass it on and gets arms and legs. My dad is the worst for believing what hes told if he thinks that person is an expert. Only yesterday he says i drink to...

Start

Morning JB How are you this morning? New day, new start and all that? Good luck.

How you feeling today toots? Its the weekend which we all know will be over before we know it so enjoy it and be good but if you cant be careful( of course im talking about food) Ooh OH has just brought me coffee in bed. Tempting just to stay here now. Anyway have a good day. Xx

Well day four is here. Was up at 6.45 with my dog squeaking to get out. Its now 9.21 and i am waiting patiently for Oh to get out the bathroom. Dog once again is outside my door crying, doing my head in. He hates being up and no one else being up. So getting rumblings now. Might go for hot choc...

Day four has started, bring it on! Have a good one.

Well day 3 almost over and the full blown rumbling tums have gone. Had to get the family chips as the power was off which made me very crabbit(grumpy)as i wasnt going to get my soup, but no sooner in the door the power came back on.Yeh Would love to have a wee G&T but will resist and stick to...

Im so chuffed for you. What sort of surgery are you thinking of?if you dont mind me asking. I would love to get my boobs lifted. So what you up to this weekend then? A little bit of romance?lol

Thx sammy. Big hips and big boobs i think so pretty deceptive. Got a stone to loose to get back to that shape again. But your lighter than me so I bet you look fab.

Morning Toots, Today is a new day and its only Bloomin Friday!!!!!!YEH!!

Great loss, well done!!!!

Morning, I did the same as you.Weighed myself on the first night to see just how much I put on in a day and I was at 13.8. Did it again at 11pm last night and I was 13.1, however this morning I am 13.2, so whats that all about? At least its only day 3 now so not to fussed, will try not to look...

Morning, Glad to hear you made it through.I had a wee look at the scales at 11pm and I had only put on 1lb got on this morning and i was up at pound on last night, how did that happen? Not bothered though it is only day 3. Have a good day today x

Hi, Everyones pics are amazing.Trying to figure out how to do this myself but brain is slightly fuzzy as its day 2 on exante so bare with me please. 16stone 14stone 13.6 stone 12stone 11.5(with my wee big bro) there is an image missing but cant get it to stick here. Sadly due to being a greedy...

Hello, I had the tom soup tonight as well.I had the choco shake hot with a teaspoon of coffee in it for breaky, I found it ok, believe me i`ve had worse. I really liked the thai chicken, mushroom tomoz for me. Like you I cant wait to see the results, cant come soon enough. Good luck and keep it...

Just had some tomato and basil soup which was fine but the chicken was nicer. Hubby sat with cheesey pasta and sausages with a fruit cream dessert which looked lush, but i resisted. Going to have to make some coffee as i am starting to feel peckish now. How has everyone else got on on their...

I get the hunger pangs around 10.30 and no amount of water helps. Evening is the same at about 7-8pm. Roll on this time next week when the pangs will be a thing of the past, one hopes.

Ah i wish i was going somewhere nice and hot. Looking really peely wally, need some colour on my chops.

Day 2 Well it 2.15 and i have just had my bar. Not to bad but not as tastey as the orange. Still really tired and hips were really sore while walking back from appoint. Its the extra weight i think. Wish i could get away with having a wee snooze. Onwards and downwards.

Day 2. Had chocolate shake for breaky, wasnt to bad. Had it hot. Felt really emotional earlier and tired but not to bad now. Lunch is going to be my bar. Dinner-soup. Will update later but so far doing fine.

Masterchef is not a good programme to watch when your feeling hungry. lol

You will be in a 14 in 4 weeks or even less if your doing gillian.

I feel a bit now although ready for my bed. I have small goals to reach, although the first one I have left a bit late.I have a sales meeting in yorkshire. Its funny coz I started the dieting first then my 2 collegues followed suit, only they stuck it out and got to target, I was just happy to...

You sound like your managing just fine.Wish I had the energy to do some kind of movement. Keep it up. :)

Hey Jo, My day hasnt gone to bad.Had thai chicken tonight and it was really nice and the orange bar was loovely.Was starving by 10.30 but held of till 11.30 before nibbling at my bar, made it last me till 1.30 by taking tiny bites. How has your first day been? Im just really tired now...

Well my day has been ok eating wise, just a crappy day, people wasting my time. Had a bar for lunch and omg it was lush. Thai chicken soup for dinner and it was really nice as well. So my food consumption is done for the day. Ive had 3 ltrs of water so far and just filled up my bottle again. So...

Just had my first exante shake and it was loovley(banana)was quite sad when I finished it.Having a bar for lunch and soup for dinner. I dont get all the headaches and stuff thankfully as I ve been doing VLCD on off for 2 years. Just get stress heads. Watch this I will have a bad head all day...

Good morning all. Well today is the first proper full day I am on exante. Just had a banana shake and it was really really nice.I have a black coffee to hand and some water and I feel quite full.I know this feeling wont last long. I will be having a bar for lunch as its easier than trying to...

Just read through your diary, hard not to laugh out loud, your ramblings are refreshing. Well done on the mega loss. This time next week i myself might have lost a wee bit of the muffin top. Keep on writing and making me smile. ;)

Im with you 100% we can do this. Tomorrow is a brand new day, hopefully minus the snow, lol. Check back in tomoz for update. Good luck.:)

Ooh just notice that my word got stared, it wasnt a bad word ok they are 2 faced and back stabbers. Lol

Yip, well what else have i got to loose? Emm 2-3 stone. Lol Just started watching BL usa but to be honest they are just so *****y and mellow dramatic that ive come to bed. Prefer to just watch the first epidode and the last. Well i think its lights out for me and roll onto tomoz and a fresh...

thx toots.

Aw thx Jo. Just found the pic of me at my lightest.Have posted it up.My hubby says it doesnt even look like me. I suppose I do have kinda blonde hair and now its really dark and i think a stone and a half does make such a differance. Think I will have to make little targets for myself. My doctor...

Just had a wee peek at your pics and omg you have done fantastically. You must be so proud of yourself. Did you find people who hadnt seen you for a while went wow then asked in the same breath"are you ok" I got that loads. I cant imagine being much thinner, I did get to 11.6 and was really thin...

Wow just reading back and thats 3 of us of similar weight and all scottish lassies.

Hi Jo. My supply arrived today, havent had any yet, just using up old stuff first. Well we will be starting together then. Good luck!

Thx JB. There is no reason why I shouldnt do well, its not as if I havent done it before, just need to keep my mouth shut when there is extras around.lol

Hi Hadl86, Just been reading some of your diary thread.Your lifestyleat the start sounds like what mine is just now with my hubby. We sit every night in front of the box with the laptops on. I feel really guilty but to be honest just dont want to do anything at night. We even bought a kinect and...

Good afternoon all, Well my exante has arrived and i am kinda excited about getting started.Have been having leftover shakes from other plans to just get me eased into it and by god is my tum making protesting sounds. Had a soup for breaky lord know why and a shake for lunch. Probably will be...

I am yet to have an exante meal just waiting for them to arrive, should be today as delivery company called thismorning. Anyway using up other brands that had left over and my stomache is making the most amazing noises, Im not even hungry, and I burp such alot. Good luck minib.

Hi Jax. Like you I have tried every diet you can think of and what money would allow me to buy. Well done on the loss so far, would love to see that on the scales next week. Good luck and keep going.

Well done emma. Ive just started and really hope i can stick at it and get loses like yours. Keep it going!!

Thx Diva, Check out your loses, fantastic. How are finding exante? Im just waiting for my order to arrive then its all systems go! Have you been SS the whole way through your journey or do you eat? What are the flavours like compared to lipotrim? Lipotrim was fine to start with but they really...

Thats exactly what i was planning. Have ordered a months supply. Dont have it yet as only made my mind up on sat. However have left over stuff from before so started today. Porriage then a bar which didnt taste as bad this time, and soup for dinner all so damm boring but its not for long. Thx...

Hi all, Have decided to go down the exante route. Have done lipotrim and happily lost 4 stone although put on a stone when finished so went onto do cambridge and lost the stone again. However I have been mucking about and have gone up again so this is it back to shakes again. I am worried that...

Morning all, Apologies for not writing for a long time.I have been having big talks with myself and have decided to go back to shakes as my weight was just not going anywhere. Atkins was helping me maintain which is good but only when I get back down to target. Thx for all your advice and...

Thx Rose for the advice and will manage to do 2 weeks. Its just getting to the stage where i might have to resort back to shakes for a few weeks but i really dont want to. I am going to try the menus that are in the atkins book to get myself on track. I know eating thus way just now us helping...

Hi guys. Didnt write yesterday as i had lunch out and it was a mini carb fest. My book arrived yesterday so been lying reading it this morning. Got a spliting headache now and OH is not helping with his music on. B. just made us a mushroom omlette topped with a bit of cheese. I had 4 slices of...

Hi Rose, How you feeling today? Shattered i bet? Have you been keeping yourself on track? If so i dont know how you do it? I kinda gave into the last of my chocci buttons and i just dont know why coz i knew i would feel sick after them. Been craving sweet things after dinner and the choco mim...
