Hey, I posted back in Jan saying I was starting DC again, I also may have mentioned I have terribble willpower. I am back on the wagon though. Been a bit ill and back and fortht ot he drs, my usual dr is on maternity leave and the dr covering her finally decided to accept the notion that my...

Whoop, day 1 was ok, too busy to get hungry/crave stuff etc. Today more so, but I walked past the chip shop on the way home. Got to make dinner for the little ones now, getting hungry, but made a cup of tea instead (no milk) I'm being good!

Right, I've tried this before, lacked in willpower and lost about 7 lbs which has stayed off. I'm not huge, I just carry my weight badly, and used to be about 3 stone lighter. Every now and then I decide to try to do something, usually fail and then decide I don't care anymore. Had a double...

I did pretty much the same, figured if I didn't stay up late I couldn't snack. How's today going for you? I definitely feel like I'm eating healthily, not all stodgy and bogged down from too much food. I nanny though and cooking for the children is driving me a tad mad... Keep smiling, Siobhan x

Hey there, I've started diet chef today, before Christmas I followed a VLCD and lost nearly a stone in just over a month, I know that I generally respond well to diets, but I just have the worst willpower in the world. :( I don't have loads to lose and in some ways that's annoying, I'm 5'7" and...

Hey there Mads, Good Luck! I have just started diet chef today after trying weight watchers, slimming world, and several VLCD's, I've lost 2 stone over the past year but seem to have slowed down massively, and started to get back into bad habits, breakfast and lunch so far, seems ok, I have...

Sooo....I hve been bad the past 2 weeks, I failed completely- much stres going on, trying to stage a panto and do the school Christmas play. There have been takeaways, and bread, and booze. Amazingly I've only put on 2 lbs though. Yesterday our leading lady in the Panto, (Snow White) was very...

Another day- nearly done and I'm right back on it!

Well I had a day off yday, mainly because I drank a tad too much in Friday night, and was sicker than I've ever been- very silly of me. To be fair I didn't drink that much at all, but should have realised how much more it would affect me! So yday I did eat some food, kept the carbs low though...

Thanks Bailey! I'm not beating myself up about it, just getting back in with it!

Been very good today, and yay, the scales still went down an extra pound earlier. Official weigh in Monday morning though. I'm keeping everything crossed! X

Well up and back on the wagon today. At least it's Friday!

Messed up and had 2 small glasses of wine tonight....feel poo now. Knew it wouldn't last. Ah well up and at em tomorrow!

Tonight is proving difficult, I think I had my soup too early. I'm babysitting tonight, kids are in bed and I'm hungry and bored. I'm having a diet coke, hoping it'll help and fingers crossed the citric acid is ok-I keep reading about it. It was a diet coke or the biscuit tin. Craving carbs...

I know I'm finding it really helpful, I've had a few false starts on this diet but I'm powering through, surprised at myself tbh, but these forums are such a help. I ordered some ketosis sticks on Amazon, ketosis is the whole your body starts burning your fat for energy thing, when it does that...

Arghhhhh! Evil work. Going to chill with a soup and some black tea. Rock n roll!

Glad to hear it. Breakfast time now. It's almost Friday....yay! Only working a half day today, so glad, going its an easier day today, less of the stress would be nice! Feeling awake this morning. Though I have got a sore throat, may have to just buy some soothers or something and see what...

Cheers. I'll get some tomorrow. I'm still being good, it's just new job stress and not loving it as much as I thought I would. But it's all a means to an end. I'm starting my Masters degree next year and need to save up, also determined to have lost the weight by then. Still, if it doesn't...

Ooh ok, I shall order some tonight, where do you get it from? I'm one of those people who quite likes a cup of Bovril so maybe I'll like it? Lol. It's been such a stressful day, but not because of the diet- all work stuff. I wanted to cry at one point but the thought of how well I'm doing...

...hoping this afternoon is easier! And breathe... Had a sneaky look at the scales this morning though, won't say what it was, don't want to jinx it but a massive motivation to carry on!!!! Yay.

Ooh good. I haven't tried the bouillon yet, will order some. I'm a big tea person, black tea is ok though yeah? Getting there... Today has been a bit stressy. Kids being a bit difficult, lots of arguments etc...ho

Well my stick turned pink this morning- whoop! Woken up with a bit if a headache though, painkillers and shake for breakfast. Need to make sure I'm drinking my water though, finding it tough to drink that much! Any tips?

Yay!! I'm going so, it's a really busy week, which I think was a good plan. I do a lot of am dram acting stuff, tonight I'm stuck in the lighting box operating sound and lights, just realised I haven't had dinner yet.... Though I would kill for a glass if wine. Working with kids, I love...

Another day in the staff room, not hungry had to force myself to eat my bar today! I'm thinking this is good. I've also got past my grumpy hungry stage, life is good. I feel like this is going to work. So much happier already! X

Thanks guys! These forums make such a difference. I'm not the best with willpower, so writing on here is really helping! Apologies if I do ramble on though. Knackered now though, and craving hot choc so I think it's time for bed. It is nice not to have people asking and judging, I've...

Well day 3 and I'm doing pretty well. Saturday and Sunday were fairly ok, mainly because I was too busy to have the opportunity to cheat. Very nearly said yes to a beer on auto pilot past night but saved myself just in time and had a black coffee instead. Much to the disgust of my friends. In...

Thank you! I've stuck to it today and am feeling better. Think I may just have an early night, hopefully hunger won't get me in my sleep!

Hey, I started on Saturday, and followed a low carb healthy eating regime the week before. I've stick to it 100% drank all my water etc, but today I am having the most horrendous stomach cramps and a bit of a dodgy stomach. I can't tell if it's a result if the diet or just being a but ill in...

Well day 1, I'm actually really excited! Just had a nice coffee and a strawberry shake, happy today the shakes seem quite nice Now I'm off to teach some drama classes. Hoping that'll keep my mind off food until lunch, if I can do day 1 and 2 without cheating I will be so proud of myself!

Thank you! I've just had a bit of a 'last night of freedom' with the girls, though surprisingly I was pretty good and didn't feel much like drinking either. Teaching kids drama classes from 10-3 tomorrow so that should keep me busy, and my mind off food etc. really looking forward to feeling...

Hello everyone! I'm Shiv, over the past few years I've got a bit 'cuddly' as I like to call it. A classic comfort eater I've grown from an athletic, running and cycling size 8/10 to a wow my size 16 jeans are a tad tight. Enough is enough. I've got to the stage where I have to stop blaming that...
