Do you know what Marge - I genuinely don't feel bad - I feel a lot warmer and fuller now - sometimes our bodies need fuel - this is hard enough when you're feeling on top of it so when you're not well I think you have to be sensible x

Hi All I have struggled to hold on for last couple of days because I'm so poorly with dreaded lurgy and flu - I've finally given in and got some hot chicken soup to eat - I know its not the end of the world so I''ll focus on getting myself straight and then back on it 100% hope everyone's...

Well done Chris - you're going strong!

Excited for your weigh in tomorrow - stay strong Lynne cos we're doing this!!

Great day Bee - well done you x

Dig deep and then dig again- you can do this - use whatever force is telling you to eat and use it to ignore the voices - you can definitely do this and think of the reward tomorrow x

Hey Sam - you're definitely in control - well done to you x

Hey twinkle - you're doing so well - and well done to mum!

Miss Mac you made me giggle! Exactly I've done 2 weeks - are we there yet?? Lol - I'm sure at the end of this journey we'll look back and see it wasn't actually that long! Just when you're going through it - it's a slow trudge!

I think I'm on day 10 - not sure! still going fine but tested myself last couple of nights cooking for the kids - had to get in shower whilst a chicken dinner was consumed tonight! very under the weather with sore throat and chest but coping - got a busy week to get through so I'll have to...

Great post Bee and really hit home with me thanks x

Well done you - doing so well, !

Doing well Lynne - we can do 10 days - no pressure (much!!)

Well done you!

So sorry to hear what's going on - take care and focus on yourself and the family - take care x

Good back up plan mrs - well done!

Staying on track I hope Sam? if not don't worry just come back to us and we'll help you start again!

Thanks x done the shop and only put things in trolley that are healthy - which resulted in a 17 year old moaning there were no crisps - get used to it girl!!

Feel for you re your dad - my mum died suddenly 6 years ago - no warning or anything - just went on Saturday morning to pick her up and she'd passed away - at 58!! i still don't think it's sunk in yet and you're right re the food covering up the emotions - we build up a wall around us with...

You will lol!

So busy reading everyone else's diary - forgotten about mine lol! Yep planning to have a good day today - got to get out and do shopping today for kids so getting list together to stay on plan. Liking your 10 day challenge so signed up to that - we'll then be heading towards February without...

Fab loss Darcey - absolutely great loss - hopefully spur you onto week 2 x

That's over a stone between you - fab losses!

I know - if only I could harness this moment of strength and willpower to pull out of the bag at other times!

Great week 2 results! Congratulations!

Great numbers girl x and well done on resisting the popcorn - I've currently had to sit next to my daughter consuming a bacon butty! It was hell!

Ten days is a plan - love it and we can do it!!

Stay strong Bee - diversion is the answer and doing it in whatever chunks you need to - be that 2 hours, 1 hour or 15 minutes - whatever you need. i'm the same re little nibbles of cheese, ham etc and MUST stop as already done it twice since I started and I know that's the sloppy slope - we...

Hey well done - week done - job done ( blips are there to ignore!)

Just catching up on diaries - wow girl you can walk!!

Hi Lynne - a good day today - but not done much at all - feel a bit slobbish! Been checking out those fitbit thinks but don't think just wearing it will make me more active lol how ow you doing today?

Ooh nice - where to?

Hi Gem - I also get the rash - on my belly and breasts - so far this time not had it! I thought it was washing powder or something but nothing had changed - doc said eczema and I just use e45 cream now to keep it under control - but I tell you what - when it itches it's a bloody nightmare and...

Hey MM you're doing so well - keep going and taking it one day at a time - I get the gurgling and bloated ness - generally when I need the loo!!

Well done Chris on how focused you are - I am one of those that has fallen off the wagon in the past because it's just so bloody hard - you plod on thinking you've got the hang of it then something comes along to knock you off - so trying lots of tactics to divert you when you feel a wobble is...

Sam just focus on how you're feeling - doesn't matter if you're in ketosis or not - that helps physically but not mentally - that's the bigger struggle so just focus on yourself and try and plan and stay strong - you're doing well - 1 day at a time!

Have a great day Lynne x

Going strong - well done - you'll see great results tomorrow!

Bee - you superstar - well done mrs - let's stay focused and hit week 2 together love vee x

12lbs gone in first week - I thank you very much - celebrating with a black coffee and keeping pjs on till at least 12 whoop whoop - week 2 here we come!

Missing you Lynne!

That's what we like to hear Darcey!

If we add up all our losses tomorrow - I'm hopeful it equates to a small person!

Thanks shrimp - much better today - had shakes regularly and feel ok - flipping cold tho so let's hope keto queen kicks in. its weigh in day tomorrow and numbers looking ok for first week so that should spur me on for another week.

I think it will be ok - I've gone to bed now - on reflection it's because I was zooming around the northwest on work stuff - going into meetings without taking breaks or lunch - completely ignoring my own needs. I got to my first shake at gone 5 pm then spilt most of it so started on a bar then...

Stay strong and focused (or live long and prosper!!)

Thanks Tigs - it's such a blooming battle!

Tough day today - just hits you - have had a wee bit of cheese and hard boiled egg just to relieve the boredom! will just oust accept it and not throw it all away but why is it some people can do this and I can't??

Love the ticking calendar issue - you're going great bee - well done

Imagine where we could all be by 31st March- that's our first team 2014 goal - let's go! (Am I starting to sound like some corny life coach or is that paranoia creeping in!!!!)

Day 5 and I hadn't realised what time it had got to! Wow I'm still hanging in there - bloody miracle but feels such a long journey . One more day in the office then working from home on Friday with no one keeping an eye on me - worried about it as although hunger pangs are fine to deal with -...

Ha ha! i think first time round is easier - you're all hyped up and have no idea what's coming - then second and third time you know exactly what is coming and how hard it is and how easy it is to get distracted. just get head down and grin and bear today - shower and bed which is exactly what...

Bed now!!

Boo - where are you?

Great going Bee - I'm on same day as you so we weigh in Saturday - better be bloody good after this week lol!

Enjoy!

Day 4 and we're still on it - not drank enough today though and was way too late with first shak - 4.30 because of driving around all day for work and not being prepared - still day 5 tomorrow - bloody hell!!

Hiya - feeling on top of it at moment - but this is about my 4th restart - so I know it's dangerous to get complacent and it's not an easy path to follow doing this - just really determined/desperate to stay focused this time! we can and will get through week 1!

Stay strong Darcy x

Day 3 not so bad but was starving on the train coming back and stomach feels a bit gurgly and bloated! Hit a bar and black coffee when I got in - oh how flipping rock n roll!! still got a shake to go then bed! hopefully it will get easier in terms of hunger pangs - it's just managing the boredom!

Hey Bee - great determination and great numbers!

Well day 2 coming to an end - thank god! It's ok - I can just see such a long road ahead! Made my last shake into a mousse - which is ok ish - strange texture and not sure I'll do it again but thought I'd live on the wild side! back to work tomorrow - so need to stay focused and get the water...

Well done Samprand - I'm back (again!) as well - I'm sick of returning so it's this time or bust! Gonna keep an eye on you - I'm 1 day ahead of you and a similar size so let's do this!

OMG Twinkle what a scorcher of a first weigh in - that's bloody amazing - well done Hun x

This is the start of a positive year - and no matter how miserable it is outside - the sofa and movies will get us through these first few days! I'm back to work tomorrow after much needed rest and a bit worried I'll have forgotten what I do!! everyone seems really positive at the moment and we...

Well done Lynne - 4lbs is great stuff

Thanks Lynne -promised myself this is last bloody year of trying to lose weight - it's not good yo yoing - and I have 2 teenage girls who have watched the struggles and misery over the years - I'm such a good role model for them in every other way - confident, independent, work hard, have good...

Updated stats! Not good - put 2 stone back on over last year - and so bloody easy to do - although I knew what I was doing! Just didn't stop - pathetic really!

Cheers Tigs - 7.30pm and just finished a bar! Got a shake to go yet so think I may actually make day 1!!

Just catching up and staying on your tail mrs so don't go off the path! Stay strong!

Kids go mad at me Mere re the CC but hey if it keeps me straight today!! doing ok at the moment and determined to make it this time - or desperation??

Ok so bypassed Wednesday as was my nephews 18th so hadn't planned that we'll - on day 1 today - going to try and get head down and get through - popping out to get all the drinks I can to avoid lots of cold water and then put my bum on settee and grip on for dear life day 1 is a psychological...

Thanks girls x

You look fab Alia - true inspiration - if only I'd stayed with you on the journey instead of falling off the wagon into denial! Well done hun x

Ok count down to day 1 is starting! I refuse to have another year of moaning at myself - I'm back where I started which means everything is tight and my belly wobbles like jelly!! it will be my daughter's 18th in Nov 2014 - so that's my focus - yes folks - I want to be a milf lol!! i...

We'll well well - hello square 1!!! Going to try again - starting afresh on Monday - sad state of affairs really!

Scenic it may be but we can do this x

Tigs - it's Sunday - Groundhog Day but lets have a go! If I get past day 1 - the next few seem fine then all it takes is one slip - a bite of something, a morsel of cheese,ham - whatever and I just fall slap bang off the wagon - it really is quite pathetic and boring!! I read all the diaries...

Sssh I'm quietly slipping back into this forum - head hung low with shame - going to be quiet and get my head back into the game - I can't believe quite how crap at this I am - for the past few months I have lost and gained this same bloody 10lbs - pathetic!!

Had a great day - but a bust day - scales flickered for a nano second into 15's - tomorrow should do it lol

Just on the cusp of the 15's - early next week I'm reckoning - busy day yesterday so didn't manage to post - quick catch up on diaries this morning - then out to do shopping and fill car up! Have a great day all x

Great support during the day folks so huge thanks - I am welded to this forum at the moment - but it's working! Today I finally made the porridge right - thanks to Carrie- really enjoyed it - now on my vanilla latte shake and will have hot mint choc later - and that then will be day 7 gone...

Go swim! Even at my biggest I used to go - my attitude was that people may look and may think something but they won't say it and once they've thought it they'll be thinking about something else in a minute! Be proud of your achievements and enjoy a swim x

Bring it on Nix lol

* knee !

Marge - you absolute star - I bet you are lol - Carrie told me how to make porridge and it actually worked so warm tummy, on settee with fire on and cat on my tea like a little old mad woman

Genius Carrie - I've only gone and done it - porridge in a bowl - right consistency and added cinnamon - I'm coming to the porridge party x

Not tried that way Carrie - will give it a bash - that's even like cooking my dinner lol x

Ok who is it that loves the porridge - I've never been able to make it right yet but really cold today and think I'll try it again - any tips folks! :)

So very cold today - may need to fetch a duvet!

Thanks Harry - got distracted on a call so that got me over that wee blip!

Blooming cold today and struggling a wee bit - working from home and nobody watching me! Keep having little thoughts creeping in - but trying to stay strong I can and will get through this!

Good plan man!

Day 17 came round quick! Well done you!

Extremely wet this side of the Pennines - fires on - how sad is that?

Cheers for your thoughts - I need to understand how to address this addiction and turn it on its head!

I'd cross your toes as well lol x

Loving your positivity Darcy x

Thanks folks - I do feel in the zone so I'm just gonna go with it - stood sideways in the mirror today in a top that's quite figure hugging but surprisingly I looked slimmer than wearing baggy cover ups all the time Vee x

Loving the morning motivational push - sets me up for a great day - yes we can do this!

Well that was another successful day - back in work work and caught up with the friend who has lost 10 stone so far on LL - she's a real positive determined person - never judges me when I fall off the wagon but challenges me to think it through rather than being all nicey nice about it Spent...

Hi - I generally only get small losses after the initial week and it does feel disheartening that I get a 1 or a 2 when others get 4's etc but this time I'm determined to love every pound until I get there because they will eventually add up - it'll just take bloody longer and we'll have to stay...

Lol Mere x

Thanks Lynne but that 4 stone has been such a scenic journey over the last few years that I've collected air miles! Still day 5 -I can and will succeed!

Whoop - fab numbers !

Keep going and welcome - you'll get lots of support here x

Mine would be my belly - either of them - not fussy!

Don't think I could wait for the egg to boil -that's will power right there!

It really is true that whiling away the hours on here is a great diversion from thinking about food! And reading so many inspirational stories really helps - we must have so much will power between us - I've always assumed I haven't got any! Still it's only end of day 4 and as I keep saying...

Loving your journey - you must be chuffed with how it's going so far vee x

Having my usual tea time wobble - opened the fridge twice but a teenager shouted at me so I closed it again lol - got my bar now - a little earlier than I usually do so trying to make it last - logging on here and catching up on dreaded Facebook!

Well done - that's one down x

Back in work mode today - although working from home so a different type of test - got one poorly child off today - full of cold but she'll live - sticking fast and hard to this but it's still tough but I'm determined to keep going - the warm weather means I can't hide under my coat and seeing...

Excellent loss - well done x

Marge - we're strong and heading into day 4 - will check in with you tomorrow - we're so similar with our struggles but maybe we can get through the barrier this time Night vee x

God dont get me on cheese - I seriously miss Brie x

Having a fab journey Nix - great to read through and kept me out of the fridge for an hour so huge thankyou x

Good luck Darcy and welcome back x

Amazing first week - well done!

Think now I've found the app on ipad - it's easier to log on! Spent last hour sat in sun - yes it's finally come up north! Just catching up on the snooker - I' m like an old man lol

First trigger point of day ........kids! Lovely day but they are far too busy to spend time with me ... I then go upstairs with washing to find one back in her bed and the other watching tv in her room in the middle of what can only be described as a war zone! I have confiscated lap tops and...

Hey just catching up with diaries -I remember starting off on this and very quickly hating the soups - in fact there are still some lurking in the back of a cupboard - I now only order shakes - I supplement them with telco ultra slim bars which you can substitute for the ex ante ones - tbh both...

Going well there! I tend to have my packs later as well - love the way each day you wake up to say 'I can do this! That's definitely the way to start Vee x

Definitely on this now as just placed another order for bumper pack of shakes - they've got 10% off at the moment if you add code BANKHOL so save a £10 which is handy - also launch party today at a new gym so thought I'd check it out with kids - although they have a hog roast on which is not...

Deep heat is on - one side effect is that it hinders me getting to the fridge! All for the best lol x

Love this post - really inspirational to read through 1) to be healthy and fit - to make sure I'm around to see grand kids - I'm mid 40's and in great health but that's a time bomb ticking! 2) to get more active and divorce my bum from the sofa - get some energy and put some effort in 3) share...

Heading into Day 3 - whoop whoop! Again I've been her a few times before so I'm not complacent - every day is tough for various reasons! Really done my back in though doing the garden on Saturday - had a rubbish nights sleep - kept waking up with my back in spasm - got ibuleve on now and we'll...

Hilarious spell check on the ipad - I meant shake not shark - although it has got teeth!!

Love the idea of shouting for the keto fairy - really made me smile :) I have stayed strong - the leftover sausages are wrapped up in the fridge so I can't see them! I'm on final shark - choc made with peppermint tea and watching the snooker -will head off to bed soon as feeling fidgety! Vee x

Crikey not cricket lol :)

Cricket I hate this time of day - I get really wobbly - thinking what could I have?? Trying to stay strong - gonna pour myself a glass of zero cherry from sainsburys - another one I've found with no citric acid whilst kids have sausages lol

Sounds like a fab day - good luck with the rest of your journey Vee x :)

Wow - absolutely beautiful - what a difference x

Fantastic journey and loss - you should be mighty proud Vee x

Mine will get sausage and mash - and that's if I can be bothered lol - luckily my girls are old enough to pull together a meal if I'm not feeling strong enough to be near the fridge!

Where is the bank holiday weather -blooming raining up north :(

Diva - lets put this in perspective -were not diet failures - we've done amazing - we just have a few blips along the way! Scenic route for us - take care x

I made it! Blooming eck -that was some determination! So day 2 - but I've been here before so need to not let the demons back in Have now discovered this site as an app for the I-pad which is really good -just have to wrestle it off my daughter - it is hers after all. Will continue to browse...

Brilliant loss - that must spur you on - lovely to get into another number zone x

Tough hour tough hour!!!

Hi there -your story sounds similar to mine and the part about missing lunch but then eating the fridge after work and not stopping till bedtime is so familiar -hope the weigh in tomorrow spurs you on Vee x

Only a month out so I'll just go for it! an hour of weeding bloody killed me - but kills the time -trying to remember to drink water!

Hey Diva- glad to see you're still going strong - sounds like last few weeks have been eventful! i've struggled for a while now but really trying to hit the zone today - being away from this forum has made me realise just how helpful and supportive people are - truly amazing vee x

Whoops - just noticed all my shakes are out of date - I've been messing about so much - cant afford to bin them - any thoughts on whether it'll still be ok - it's not exactly milk or fish is it ?? Having my first latte now and tastes ok!

Thanks folks -lurking and reading - doing an hour at a time - really hoping sun comes out soon and I'll get out to do some weeding - oh the joy lol x

Right - this can't go on - nearly put a stone back on since I stopped! Today is the day! I will get through this - I'll go and look at WS as well - that might focus me more - i will be lurking all day on here as I know that's what helps on day 1 well done to all of you struggling through with...

Well we all know what happens when I'm absent - why on earth do i fail at this every time! Seriously you all seem to get in the zone - the woman ay work has now lost 10 stone - yes read that again and i just feel like a complete waste of space - i pretty much try every day but by about tea time...

Hey all - still doing well - just been so very blooming busy - got to keep in the zone as we head into week 2!

Day 3 nearly done Tigs! Just popping out to pick up the eldest daughter - their social life is so much better than mine! Then final shake -hot mint chocolate , bed and my book !

Tell me about it Tigs! Made tea for my youngest tonight and it was one of my favourites - I literally salivated watching her eat it! She's of to Germany tomorrow for a week to stay with the exchange student we've just had staying with us - she's so lucky -dont remember having decent school...

Stay strong Diva - these things dont half test us!

Hopefully ticker now updated and huge boost to my positive thinking mode! Ok took me 3 years but what the hell - lets celebrate and get through day 3 :553:

Morning all - i do chuckle at us all - we must have will power of super strength to keep coming back to this - just have to hold onto that will power when we all feel a bit wobbly - lets suck it in girls and get through to easter - no messing now - come on we can do it!! Going to change my...

day 2 and were doing ok although only just had first shake which is not good - but in Brum all day at a meeting and just couldn't find time or space to make shake up and felt very self conscious to do it on a packed train - still mind over matter and I've got through it - although dont recommend...

Hey diva -good to see you're still going strong -I'm like the proverbial revolving door -back again -at least when I stray I only seem to put the same 5lbs back on then lose it again - but as the kids said to me tonight " either get on with it mum or just eat the fridge!" -who'd've thought...

Day1 - over and out - thank you diet goddess -we've made it -night folks x vee x

ASDA Cherry diet cola - no citirc acid - keeping me going today!!!

Ok Tigs and everyone else - focused - pocused - london was a step too far and so ended up eating my way round the capital city - i know this then leads to a variety of excuses to keep me off the wagon for at least a week so bloody hell - here we go again - day 1 deja vu - anyone reading this...

Hey Tigs - all still going well - are we on Day 4 or 5 now - temd to lose the plot during the week - what with work, kids and this a week a German exchamnge student staying - I have no idea if I'm coming or going. Working from home today - first time since restart and need to ensure I focus and...

Now just got to keep the munchie gremlins at bay - its all psychological - i know that - I've never really understood the craving drug users get (having never partook) but I wonder if it is similar to the fridge junky!! You just get a little prod in your mind every now and again - and I get a...

Shake 1 done - vanilla latte - I love it!

Oh Tigs - thank you so much - I always feel such a loser and have this sense of doom - i know when I'm absent from the forum I'm up to no good !! Come on day 1 - lets do this together x PS I will be on here all day to avoid the kitchen x

Dear Diet Chief Hold me down - tie me up- sit on my head but do whatever it takes to get me through today - i have been remiss and sadly in groundhog day for the last 3 weeks - I know i am a sinner - i repent and promise I will get past bloody 6pm on day 1 Shout at me, coach me, cajole me -...

Hi folks - sorry not been on for a while - my work laptop in the office isnt letting me connect for some reason and been so busy last week that I've hardly sat down!! So quick recap - i got back on the wagon - no worries went ok and shifted 6lbs last week - so thats got me back to where I was...

Now then Sage - get yourself back to us hun - i've had a wobble over last few weeks when all went abit pear shaped - but back here now and the support from these girls is great - c'mon we miss ya Vee x

Glad you had a great break - think our bodies and minds need it now again - makes the journey more meandering but keeps the sanity vee x

Hey Muffy - I've also had a right wobble over the last week to 10 days - this is hard - if it was easy we'd do it no problem - I'm restarting again today - c'mon hum we can get through this together - bring your mate along to the party!! take Care vee x

I have been bonkers last week or so - wagon - where is it - well and truely off and head completely out of game. The only thing I can think that threw me was a really crap week at work - my boss has left suddently and things are in a flux and future is uncertain. But this week things are calming...

Whoa girl - get you sexy minx!!

You're going great and I love the foundation - may look at that myself!! VEE X

Hi folks - agreed ideally thats what i do but I have a nightmare commute on a busy train - theres a local Sainsburys near the office but get this doesnt fo their own value sparkling water or the cherry one we can have - bloody locals. i tried using a jug today to encourage my intake but spilt...

Well done you - Congratulations on getting thro week 1 and such an ace loss x

Back to work today which is good for routine - but not so good for my water intake - I must work harder at it!! Good to see eveyone and the friend who is losing weight via LL is going great guns - she looks really good and has shifted about 7 stone now - she is such an inspiration and I have no...

Medals all round then girlfriend xx :553:

Yeah - so glad you had a great time - well done xx

Just enjoyed reading your diary - thanks for sharing - I'm currently doing Exacnte - another vlcd but not getting the results you're getting - you're doing really well and that shows what 100% does. i tend to be a bit of a tart with diaries - reckon we're all going through the same stuff so...

The Boards are so busy at the moment its taking me all my time to read what everyone's up to - I love it - knowing we're all just battling through at the moment trying to get into ketosis! I checked with the sticks this morning but not yet there - couple more days - think it took till day 5...

Maybe I'll give it a go - got a few packs of soup loiterring at the back of a cupboard - if its horrible can just go in bin!

You should be at group now - hope its going well x

God you're a bloody superstar - your weight loss is very good mi dear - whats the secret???

I like the idea of the scrapbook x

Welcome back and good luck with your journey - will love catching up on your posts x

Never think you've ruined anything - hey it wasnt chocolate and crisps - get through toninght and back on tomorrow - I find upping my water helps stave off the hunger pangs x

Welcome and well done - keep it up and keep posting - helps us all x

I had to kick the soups into touch quite early on - if I have to do that amount of faffing to make it edible it aint gonna work!!

get yourself out tomorrow - just have protein - it'll be fine x

The wagon just kept rolling away Sage - bloody nightmare! have spent all afternoon reading other peoples diaries on here - I should be doing jobs but hey ho!!

Right girl - have another pack if needed and a hot bath - face pack and toenails and get yourself to bed - the other half can do the chores!!

Hey good luck for tomorrow - I'm on Exante - which is smililar vlcd to LL and on day 3 of restatring after Xmas - you sound like you're on the zone so you go for it girl!

Keep going - you're on Day 3 now so keeps getting easier - first few days are the hardest vee x

yeah - well done you!!!

Keep going - you're on to this now !

Hey you - I know its tough trying to have it all - I worked and studied when my girls were younger and it was flippin tough but when we did have time together I made sure it was packed with fun - I've now got teenagers who i still have lots of fun with and a job I love - in a position that means...

I do love this forum - reading peoples diaries makes me realise that whatever size we start out at we all have the same struggles and are basically all very nice people - lots of encouragement out there from people that have no idea who you are - if only the world could be as nice. i'm day 3...

Oh have a great night Diva - hope the sparkly shoes are back out x

Keep going - get through an hour at a time and youi'll get another day done - its tough but in a couple more days it'll all fall into a natural pattern - listen to some of the comments you make to others - come on girl!! x

wish i wasnt feeling hungry and sad with the world lol - inspiring photos indeed - I only ever have before shots!!!

Ok I made it through day 1 - but this is tough - I am bored with myself moaning about it though !! We're nearly through Day 2 - i just need to get through the weekend I think as at the moment i just want this to end this all - I cant see me getting another months supply = this is the hardest...

Argh I have tried to do Day 1 over and over again now for past few days and always caved in - what the heck is wrong with me - how can this be so hard this time round - my youngest said 'you'll be fine an about 4 days' and shes right - I will be - I have actually no idea if I will even get that...

Whoops yesterday was a false start - must try harder today lol x

Happy New year all x

I'm on the mend and on groundhog day 1 - I know I can do it but blooming eck this is gonna be a tough one - gonna read through all the diaries on here to keep me out of the fridge - last time on day 1 I stripped the kitchen - I havent the energy for that this time so will slowly hibernate on...

Wow you've had a tough time - but you've also proved you can do it - remember how inspirational you've been to others and grab it by the balls girl! vee x

I'm starting to re-join the world of the living - thank God!! Just feel the last of the lurgy now - have slept my way through the past 3 days to be honest but obvioulsy needed it. have started eating again - although have thrown copious anounts of food away thats gone off in the fridge - a...

And its day 6 of feeling like *****! I think I'm getting better then it completely throws me again - this morning found myself on bathroom floor - head round back of sink and 16 year old panicking calling my brother = I'd bloody passed out - this is seriously not good - managed to calm everyone...

Just had a good ole read of my diary again - so glad I started doing it - amazing how you forget what you went through and the feelings you've experinced! the 27th has come and gone and I'm not back on the plan yet - I'm still so proper poorly i'm just focusing on getting through each day - I'm...

Well I've lost weight this week and got into the 15's p however this has nothing to do with sticking to plan I'm afraid - I am so full of the dreaded lurgy flu that I'm sweating the weight off! Seriously have never felt so ill in a long time - streaming nose and eyes - achy legs and back and...

Merry Christmas everyone - whether you stay 100% or not - all have a great day - I'm not posting much at mo as to be honest I'm either hungover or eating something naughty but nice - My goal is to put no more that 4 back on and get back on this from the 27th Having a bloody good time!! Take...

Its like a Sunday in Church the number of confessions popping out at the moment - we've been brilliant for the past couple of months - we know we can do it again - we just sometimes need a little something x

Excellent losses Loser - well done x

Just to say - present to myself for very nearly doing 2 stone b4 Xmas was a lovely bottle of Marc Jacobs Dot perfume - smells and looks beautiful - even had it fully gift wrapped for myself I'm a lucky girl x

Cheers Diva - hope you do too. I had set off for a meeting in Birmingham today but trains cancelled from Crewe due to flooding so came back home - was sorely tempted to raid the Christmas goodie shelf but no I have had a shake instead and a big bottle of water - Going go for 100% for next 2 days...

:tear_drop: Ok folks - confession time coming - sit back and see my shame! Actually i dont feel that bad abiut it to be honest. I've got a good ole Chrimbo night out planned for this saturday and I'd already decided this was going to be one hell raiser of a night - no soda water and nibbles for...

Just a bloody long race Dive x

Thanks Adrian - its a reality check - its all going in the right direction just slowly!!

Looking good Sexy Diva x

Angel - i agree - i was really strong until AAM week and since then - although not bonkers i have not been as focused as i was - still as long as going in right direction and not putting the weight on we're winning x

Think I'm in denial that Christmas is only 10 days away - got some decs up but cat has ravaged the tree so looking a little forlorn!!

109Lbs - amazing and brilliant - you star!!

Going to really up my water today - i've been in office meetings or traipsing around all week and not focused on the drinking 2L - that may help me only 10 days till christams - lets do some damage folks !! :bighug:

Loving the Tig- ster - thankyou x :553:

So another 2lbs off - in a word 'crap' - how can this be - i could do this at any normal dieting club - it really tests your willpower when you're not losing the same as other people seem to do! Still i have another months supply - I'll get through next couple of weeks and Xmas and as long as I...

Tilley - your diary shows great insight into yourself and you're learning as you go through this journey! Dont beat yourself up - pick yourself up and stay with us - you've done so well and going backwards isnt an option - re read your diary take Care Vee x

Seems to have bloody stuck tho Sharon - these scales aint for budging at the moment - how can that be - I'm genuinely 100% 99% of the time and the only time I do eat is when its needed - like the other night and then its in place of a shake or bar and straight protein Surely on this limited...

ooh leg warmers and ra ra skirt...or is that just my wardrobe!!!!!:eek:

Note to self - when going out prepare a bit better than last night!! We got tickets to see Ellie Goulding last minute - who is excellent in concert - after listening to her CD thought I'd be asleep by song 3 but hell no - shes pretty rocky and feisty live! But I'd only had a shake and a bar...

Congrats Diva - all going well and Roast Beef!!! You lucky girl vee x

Oh it so cold - I cant get warm and the heating is on! I'm having a few struggles at the moment - i just want some food and taste! i think I'm coming down with something and need some comfort - i've had a few bits and bobs - feeling totally defiant that i needed it - I didnt and actually it...

The new scales have arrived and even though i wanted them to say a 2 stone loss - they didnt - i must have ordered the wrong ones !! :D I had an overnight away this week with work and luckily those who went out with me that night knew what I was doing and really supportive - we went to jamies...

Had a sneeky peek at scales earlier today and nothing moved - how can that be??? I have been totally 100%! Now to be fair when I say scales - its the wii board and some game that weighs you - so I've decided to order some proper scales and focus on my body shape which is changing. Tried on my...
