Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on here in ages, wedding is a bit hectic! 3 weeks to go, I'm 14 stone and my wedding dress was taken in to a 14 this week :) if I'm honest the last three weeks I haven't really been doing slim and save, I've been doing more if a maintenance plan and I've carried...

I am in the 14s! Granted its only by 1lb (14st 13lb) but still I'm very happy to see them again :)

Hi kaz! Well Done so far! Amazing weight loss and running. Xx

4.2km in 34 minutes. Probably one if my better runs of late x

Made it through the hen party on one scone! Pretty happy x

And I'm in the purple! Thank god ketosis has kicked in. Now just to avoid the food on my family hen do tomorrow! X

Thanks Lynne! The other half has hidden the scales in his car until next week now as I know I'll be being obsessive. Had a good few days on plan. With any luck I'll be in ketosis either tomorrow or the day after. Not feeling overly hungry right now. Feeling very bloated though as I'm due on...

First run I've done in 3 weeks and I'm ruined! Only did 3.6km and it pretty much killed me in the 30 minutes I was out. X

Oh boll@c!s!!!! 15.2lbs. Oh well I will definitely be in the 14s next Tuesday... I think....I hope! X

No I read about it in an article once. But tbh I got the Botox done originally to re arch my brows better and stop myself frowning. It was after having it I discovered my migraines pretty much disappeared. I started Botox quite young so it's nice to know its preventing the lines between my brows...

It helps migraines, no idea why but I now have no lines (well dents anyway) and I no longer have the ability to frown at Chris. Also it stops the migraines, Winner! I don't really understand why, it's something to do with the nerves and muscles xx

Thanks marge! I see you're doing very well :) Yesterday was a good day and as a result I think today will be too, well diet wise anyway. The only problem is I'm now completely paranoid! Everytime I get any sort of blind spots or funny vision that resembles an aura (migraine warning) I take...

Hi everyone sorry its been a while I've had cluster migraines so haven't been feeing great. The good news is: Despite not really being on plan for the last two weeks I've managed to stay the same weight I had my Botox done today so after about another 2 weeks they should be gone (touch wood)...

I am feeling better but the dr thinks its the diet :( so I am on Preventers now and they should help. Back on plan again today lots of water and relaxation xx

...my god I hope not! I had my totm last week so I shall assume no, however I'm going to the dr on Friday so maybe I'll do a test too to make sure. Xx

Chips! Always blinking chips is what I want when a migraine sets in. I have two clients now until 8pm so I've resisted them, so in theory, my migraines normally only last 2/3 hours when I catch them early, so I should be fine by the time I finish, just feeling "hung over", which means I won't...

Omfg!!!! Another migraine!!!!! What the hell is going on? Slightly concerned its re diet causing them, u don't care how sick I get today I am NOT coming off plan. Better go to the dr and get some preventers again :( I hate being on them but I it prevents migraines and I can stay on this diet...

Oh yes do invest in them. They make me want to go out walking. Not bad for £50 and are very sturdy according to the reviews :) x

My sexy new shoes! Excuse the angle I'm at the cinema again! Did 6km in them before round the lake and quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Xx

I love disney! We are there for three weeks staying in the resort, I'm so looking forward to it. And now I'm not worried about my feet hurting with all the walking x

Omg I finally got a pair of go walks from Skechers and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I am so glad I picked them for the honeymoon, apparently you can walk on Average 7 miles a day in disney world so a good pair of walking shoes is a must :) and they are bright bright...

It's amazing what a plastic pink ice cream jar from tescos can do!

Yeah just old problems being dragged up, very minor ones nothing to worry about but you know when it makes you feel sick and sad and anxious all at once? So I am about to cheer myself up! X

Slightly depressing day. But I am about to make chocolate shake ice cream :) This will fix everything. Pictures to follow!

Haha yeah! I had half a bar to keep me going ;) the cinema was heaving! I think everyone came to enjoy the air conditioning. I think I am nearly back in ketosis properly again, well I'm never properly in it but at least half in, yesterday was a hungry day and today isn't bad, that normally...

Honk!

Just about to watch now you see me at the cinema and the thoughtless person next to me had popcorn! How dare she? Doesn't she know I'm trying to starve 2 stone off? Hahaha

Barry m. It's a fantastic varnish for the price, I've worked with brands that charge three times as much and the paint never last as long x

Busy hands mean no food shall pass my lips! Loving this new shade x

Lol that's good that they are being helpful in the tuck shop. I've been reading the beck diet solution and she says that other people eating these yummies don't eat them on a regular basis and won't eat much for the rest if the day, well she has obviously never sat and watched everyone where I...

Honk!

I am the worst auntie ever! I now feel totally stupid and awful. I made my niece a moonpig card for her 5th birthday and changed all the pictures to ones of her etc. but the middle box said happy birthday Mollie, well my niece is called Molly and it just didn't even register that it was spelt...

Does anyone else work somewhere that it feels like everyone around you can eat whatever they want? I know they must be being good or active in other areas but honestly every lunch time they always seem to be having mc Donald's, Burger King or cheesy chips from the market. All the skinny people...

Feeling hungry but so back in the zone! Now all I have to do is hope nothing knocks me out of Sid zone until after the dress fitting in July!!!!

Ate* not hate lol.

I just had a dream I hate a cupcake...very realistic one i was quite annoyed with myself after i woke up for a while x

Honk! Xx

Really really good day on plan 100%! Made me feel loads better and feel like I am bak in control. Had lots of water but no exercise. I think for the next 3 days I will just focus on the diet and get back into exercise next week xx

Thanks ladies, the migraine is still hanging around, best cure for it is s@£ (chemical reaction in the brain helps ease it off) but the fiancé is away on business and he said I'm not allowed to sleep with anyone else lol. I get married end of September and have my finial dress fitting end of...

You are a machine woman! X

Well done!! Xx

Not sure what's bringing them on! Every time I just about get back into it 100% I end up getting one and having to eat something to take the meds! But I will tell you what!!! My dad forwarded me some pictures of me trying on dresses and the difference is unbelievable. I can't believe I got so...

OMFG!!! Another bloody migraine. I woke up with it this morning so I didn't even get a chance to take the right preemptive drugs. Had to go down the dr for an injection and its just started ebbing away, the last 3 hours are just a blur x

Well done everyone! We are all doing really well. Today's run didn't go as planned, I pulled my leg 1k into my 5k run so walked the next 1.5 :( so a measly 2.5k for tonight, was also feeling rather tired early on so maybe it's for the best. X

Thanks marge! How are you getting on? I've been watching your diary and I hope things are looking up. I think I sts because I never go fully off plan even if its a night off but at the same time I don't think I ever really get into ketosis so I never get that woooosh of water weight loss. I...

Oh yes it's still radioactive!!!! X

Oh and I am so burnt from yesterday's 10k race for lift!! I have never let myself burn so badly before :( x

Hi everyone sorry its been a while. I have stayed the same this week but tbh it's not a surprise due to the stress I e had this week and I had two nights off plan for a friends birthday. Back on it strong today! :) had loads of water so far xx

10k race for life done! Whoop whoop. Took me 90 minutes which isn't great and wasn't what I was aiming for but the amount of stopping I had to do because of groups of people walking! Next year in going in the runners category at least then there will be no body trying to run and walking after...

Thanks ladies, I know it's not awful but I do t know why I did it, they weren't even that good!! Draw a line under it, be good tomorrow. Going car shopping to cheer myself up! Net dad on the train this morning and I think he could tell I was a bit overwhelmed and down so he's taking the...

Oh dear. Huge argument with the fiancé, no sleep, no bar on me for lunch and painful totm..yup I've caved! Large tea in Starbucks and a caramel wafer. Feeling a little miffed with myself, wasn't even hungry, just wanting something to wake me up and I turned to sugar! Blinking hell!! Stressed to...

TOTM :( not impressed! I'm always on when I have a big event, it's always on day 2 as well which is the worst. Xx

Honk! X

Good plan, an early night always does the trick. X

Feeling hungry, 90 minutes left of work then I'm going to have some pure protein in the form of chicken with a few Brussels as I want to get back into ketosis quickly and I found that if I had a high protein low carb meal when I'm about to eat my own pillow! I tend to get past that hungry...

We are strong wwsindy! X

Oh marvellous! Day two of being back on the plan and the manager buys an entire carrier bag full of pastries and cakes from Greggs. I'm glad I'm not hungry xx

Mine works that way too x

Did a run last night, 4km xx

I know what you mean Lynne I didn't do any exercise last week and just went for a run and it nearly killed me! X

I've never heard of that, is it good? I'm on slim an save now, just find it more appealing.

Hi ladies! Yes all good here, fell back into surprisingly well, but then again day two/three are always the worst. How about you guys? Good days? Xxx

Honk! X

Actually I'm wrong! I need to start it today. Oh we can get super lean together. Let me know how it goes! X

Oooohhhhhh the shred is amazing! Pull be super lean. I've got my 10k run on Sunday and then I'm starting my slim in 6 programme and getting in two rounds of that before the wedding. X

Hi everyone! So back on it today, lots of water to be drunk and shakes to be had! No more breaks now until August I believe (unless my family organise afternoon tea for my family hen do in July but that's at the end and not the end of the world) Breakfast strawberry shake! X

Yeah I realised I had to have faith in myself that after a week not really on plan, I had the will power to get back on it on Sunday/Monday, so I might be on here for some moral support this week lol xx

Hi Lynne sorry I've been so so so busy! Wedding yesterday was gorgeous! Went totally off plan had champagne but hey it was worth it! Will weigh in tomorrow but there will be a gain I'm sure xx

I have the ultra slim bars from tescos, but the shakes apparently aren't right for the plan. Well I'm rather pleased I fitted into a size 14 dress and the waist/bust section looks hot! However it is stretchy so it doesn't really count and its bloody sleeveless! It's for a wedding at the...

Stress! Lol, ways happens, need to get some Botox done to sort them put again. Well I went off plan and had bread yesterday with my Triptan tablets as I couldn't have the injection so I think I'm pretty much put of ketosis, so now I've got to spend the next three days trying to get back into...

Eeeuugh! Migraine still here. Normally when it hit day three I get a Triptan injection from the dr and it sorts it out, so was going to do a half Day and go to the walk in hour at my surgery this afternoon. The. My colleague calls in sick and now I can't go anywhere! I shouldn't have come in. X

Honk! Back on it from my migraine induced blip yesterday

Yuk! Took me a while to get into it but was a really bizarre texture. Think ill drink my shakes xx

I am about to try the mouse powder for the first time! Hope I like it x

Nnnoooooo don't do it! Chinese is never as good as you think it is, always leave you feeling unsatisfied, it's the mark write of food! Seems like a good idea at the time, lovely to look at but is never as good as it looks and leaves you with a bad after taste xx

Whoop whoop! That's a brill loss with it being totm too! You must be chuffed xx

Don't worry fultham Lynne was only playing she's lovely and not easily offended :) well done on your running, I'm still waiting for mine to get easier lol. Xx

Thanks marge! Yeah I slept for like 12 hours lol. Feeling a bit better, glad I haven't gone off plan as I was so close to eating a bag of chocolate buttons! Glad you're feeling better Lisa :) x

They do and I tend to not want to stray off them either so that makes the plan better xx

Yeah migraine is hanging around with a vengeance but I refuse to have another day off plan, my manager was like "take some medication" well I hadn't thought of that! I was just going to wait it out! I felt like saying Don't worry I'm not going to try and leave early lol x

Omg I should not be in work today!!!!!! X

Hi Lisa! Good luck, chest infections are a nasty business. I've been so ill all day and have officially been off plan, nothing drastic, no binging but have had bread as its the only thing I can keep down with my tablets. I hope I get back into ketosis quickly, maybe if I'm really really careful...

I've had no problem with them so I'd say they are ok :) I'm loving the chocolate one doped in tea at the moment xx

Thanks hun! How are you getting on? I've been a bit naughty. Have got a lot to do today and in the middle of church I got a stinking migraine! And with my horse tranquillisers that I have on prescription you either eat with them or bring them back up lol. So I grabbed a sausage in a nap from the...

Nefertari -14lbs (10lbs lost, 4lbs to go) Porshe04 - 14lb (7lb lost, 7lb to go) l ou1hammond - 14lb (3lb lost, 11lb to go) Gnossienne - 15lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Rach1001 - 14lb (5.6lb lost, 8.4lb to go) Floss - 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Skinny-mummy - 15lb (0lb lost, 15lb to go)...

Oh balls I knew I'd have a bad week, only 1lb off. It's ok though I know it's water and everyone's bodies do this on a vlcd, I measured and I lost inches. Next week should (touch wood) be a better loss. X

I quite like the rice, the texture isn't too bad because its so small. Really filling too. X

Honk

No idea what's on the menu unfortunately, the bride wanted to keep it a secret :( which makes it a little harder. Oh we'll I just have to be really really strong the next day and maybe do a pure protein day to get myself back into ketosis. Went for a 4km run after dinner, weigh in tomorrow...

Good luck! I'll be doing a lot of walking on the 10km race for life in two weeks, I'll have to let my gym bunny friends run ahead :) xx

4km done tonight in 30 minutes xx

Sorry that's the skin specialist coming out while taking about a product. But still yes Elemis Japanese camellia oil! Best around xx

Hi Fayfe, Elemis Japanese Camellia oil is fantastic for skin elasticity and stretch marks, I swear by it. But keep in mind if the stretch marks are white/silvery nothing will get rid of them, the only thing that can reduce them is dermaroller, but even that's not 100%. If they are pink/red they...

I was going to weigh in today, a day early, as I have to weigh in next Saturday, but I'm too scared to! I know it's my stall week, every part of my body is telling me its my stall Week. So I will weigh in tomorrow and then hide the scales until next Saturday. Next weekend is my friends wedding...

Honk

Thanks shrimp! I would call the run a fail, got 3.5k into it and had to give up, was so out of puff. But the dinner was a roaring success in that I had chicken spit roasted (it was yummy!) and a garden salad. Xx

Omg been so busy today. Had a bar and a soup for breakfast and lunch and after my last appointment I'm going for a 6km run then off to the pub for dinner with O/H friends, am having chicken and salad, really looking forward to it! X

Honk xoxo

Ba**ards! Sobbing my way through Paul O'Grady for the love of dogs, some people need a good smacking for they way they treat animals! I'd love to get my hands on some of them. I love this show but it can be so sad! X

That's true skill! I could never go into the chip shop while on this plan. Not in a million years. X

It was the sight of all those sausage rolls! Savoury pastry is my weakness, I would be absolutely massive if I worked somewhere like Greggs, I love all pasties, sausage rolls etc. I've promised myself I can have 1 sausage roll a week from my favourite bakery a week when I'm maintaining, you...

Neeeeeeeded a tea so ran out quickly in a gap to the nearest coffee shop, Greggs would believe and the line was massive. I swear the sausage rolls were talking to me! Never getting a tea from there when its busy again. Tested my will power! X

Aw bless you! Well hopefully I'd have gone down to a 12. The dress is made to measure so was measured at a 16 but the wedding dress shop said it can be taken in by 2 sizes! So here's hoping I get there by mid August! How are you getting on? Xx

Well done kitty on making it a week on plan, have you weighed in yet? I weigh in either on Saturday or Sunday this week, see how brave in feeling after dinner out on Friday night (more chicken and salad for me! No lovely cakes for pudding :( ) X

Agreed Lynne! My god I NEED WINE!!!! I don't even normally drink but sometimes it's true that people drive you to drink! I obviously won't as ketosis and alcohol don't mix well at all and the answer to my stress is not in the bottom of a bottle...but I feel like getting trashed!

A blinking well Deserved honk!!!

Crew was an auto correct for a bad word lol! Well I've had a stressful day! Parents are about to kill each other (I'm glad I don't live there anymore) I've got a new area manager and my last client of the day made me run very very late to get home!! Winner!!!

Don't you just love the crew stress of a new manager! X

That's a shame, I can't get the podcasts on my phone as I need adobe otherwise I'd have used them xx

I have two lol. Quite like both, the yellow one is a good 5k plan x

In reading it too and it's been very helpful so far. I know why you mean about that chapter, it sounds like a bit of a minefield area. I get the feeling she is aiming that chapter more at the people pleasers who will accept any food regardless of amount or if its good for their diet. I picture...

Well done! That's an amazing weight loss you should be very happy xx

Well done! Dominos is my weakness! Xx

Yeah I love all the choices, I'm a real savoury tooth so I pretty much live off all the meals and the odd chocolate shake or ultra slim bar. X

Aw bless you! Believe me the only reason I have any willpower is because I have a wedding dress to fit into and over £4000 spent on photography and video at my wedding and I will be furious with myself if I waste all that money because I won't watch or look at any images of myself. It's pure...

Yeah I'm doing the couch to 10k app, exactly the same but a bit longer I think, I need my phone to tell me when to run and walk otherwise I'd give up too early, this 10 minutes are absolutely evil to me at the minute! I'd really like to join a gym and do some classes but I'm a bit worried about...

Well done on making it to day three! That's one of the hardest parts over with as you're so close to ketosis. How are you finding it? X

Hi Chelly! I've been following you loads still, so inspirational! You must post pics of your wedding. Lol your car names are cute, I haven't got a new one yet we are debating over what to do. X

Yeah that's my eventual aim, 5km in 30 minutes three times a week, at the minute I take a couple toothy walk breaks to hit that though, I do 8 minutes running, 5 minutes walking intervals, but I'm about to go up to 10 minutes running with 4 minutes walking intervals so hopefully my time will...

Hi marge! Well if I'm on a treadmill 5km takes me about 35 minutes but if I'm road tuning it takes me anywhere between 40 to 45 mins at the moment as road running is harder. C25k is very good but I think you're probably past a lot of the stages as you can run for 12 mins solid so you'd just have...

Honk !x!

Second run of the week done, 4 km in 30 minutes. Xx

Quick 4km run before dinner, came back to a lovely carbonara that was all fluffy and soft! Am nice and full now and feeling pretty happy with my diet today, I did my best to drink more and will try again tomorrow. I just hope I don't stall this week as I'm out to dinner the day before weigh in...

I have drunk loads of water today! Been running up and down to the loo constantly. Just had my soup too so nice and late. I'm going to have carbonara tonight (got a couple of packs to use up) so going to make it up before my run and then leave it to rest for my 30 minute run, I know it seems...

Yay! Yeah I'm not a fan of the raspberry shake and I tend to put cauliflower in the cheesy pasta and it bulks it out and makes it a little less cheesy lol x

Yeah walking should be fine, just make sure you drink plenty of water too, that's where I fell down this week I'm sure of it x

Had a bit of an empty day yesterday so anticipating a better day today! I think it was the run that did it with the buggy, maybe I over did it and burned too many calories and it made me crave food for the day. Either way today is looking positive. Late shift tonight so have saved my bar for...

Yay! That's a good refeed week xx

Went to lunch with the girls at Costa. Had a pot of tea and my raspberry bar, very satisfied! Slightly disappointed no one spotted my weight loss as random people seem to notice it but my friends don't, I think it's because they are friends and its always hard to notice it on friends. X

Aw well as its your birthday cake I'm sure that's allowed! I've not had the bars, just stuck to the ultra slim ones from tescos! I can't wait to be in the 13s either! It'll probably take me at least another 5 weeks but that's ok, we will get there! X

Yeah I wasn't really that jealous, I would never have been able to eat all that, however a little bit of it would have been nice :) so maybe I've got the right mindset now x

5km done this morning in 50 mins due to the fact i had my three year old nephew in the buggy so I could t really concentrate on times as whenever we went past a duck we had to stop and say hello x

Went for a jog this morning before breakfast. Invited my sis in law and she brought my nephew along in his buggy so it certainly felt like a work out! We did 5km and it killed my average time making it 50 mins instead of my usual 38 but the buggy added a good resistance for us both and we did...

Well done both of you! X

Honk (even with a nandos!)

Me too please! I weigh in 5 times in total in June so would like to lose 20lbs as its 4lbs a week. I've weigh in twice and lost 5lbs week one and 4lbs this week so 9lbs so far. Will weigh in again next Saturday! I've added myself to the list xx Nefertari -14lbs (7lbs lost, 7lbs to go) Porshe04...

Did you get your packs yet? I switched over last week as I prefer the consultancy of slim and save and don't really feel like I'm on a diet on this. I did alternate days this week to use up some exante and lost 4lbs still so not bad xx

Good luck! You'll smash it! X

I don't think they could eat anything else after it! Worst thing is I'm trying to eat really slowly like the beck diet solution says, so I enjoy my food and I realise I am full (it does work really well) and in the time it took me to eat my little salad, they'd eaten 3/4 and they got their food...

Whilst being a good girl at nandos with my salad, i was people watching. The couple opposite us made me feel full just looking at their food! They each had half a chicken, chips, sweet corn and then shared a large spicy rice, pitta bread , two portions of garlic bread and holumi cheese! I was...

This is true Marge, I just hate these days! Nothing feels right, nothing looks good, no amount of make up seems to look nice. Ugh! Date night with the fiancé, we go out every 9th for our anniversary. So we doing cinema (coke zero!) and nandos for dinner. Have ordered the chicken plain with a...

Either way I am not happy about it and just want to go for a run but I'm stuck at blinking work!!!!

I am having a fat day!!!! Can't shake it at all. Not very happy about it either. Maybe it's because I weighed in early..

Skin elasticity and weight loss is so so difficult! I couldn't give you any more advice then a google search engine would on that one! Once the elasticity has gone and the skin is over stretched the damage is done, only surgery would fix it. But some people's spring back about 12 months after a...

Amazing! X

Well I weighed in a day early so I could move my weigh ins to a Saturday eventually. Lost 4lbs so I'm very happy and that was s&s week xx

Good morning everyone! I had to weigh in a day early today because I trying to move my weigh in day to a Saturday. The reason being I have a wedding to attend on the 22nd June and I don't want to weigh myself after it and see any damage I've done :) so next week I will weigh in on Sunday again...

4km in 31 minutes tonight. Not bad! Wish I'd done the 5k but really wanted to have a nice bath before the other half gets back from golf and insider realise I'd done 4 in that time till i checked map my run! Pretty happy right now x

Honk!

Mmmmmmm slim and save chilli with 50g broccoli and some slim rice. Yummy yum yum. Now to go for a run in an hour x

Insecure little boys that have nothing better to do with their time! Ignore them and remember you're gorgeous! Also you can win! If you were bigger you'd get nasty comments and even now your slim some w4n7er wants to make himself feel better. Xx

Wow you look amazing! X

Not sure i weigh in on Monday! I'm hoping so. When I put the slim and save days in my fitness pal the calories and carbs aren't any higher then exante and the fat is always lower, so in theory it should be fine, I never go over 60g of carbs a day, if I forget to add veg I'm often below as there...

Oh I love the spicy spaghetti! It's not spicy tbh, the spag Bol has more spice. But it's so nice with some frozen broccoli in it. I also got the cheesy pasta (not many though) and its amazing with cauliflower in it! When I was having a rubbish day I put 100g of tuna with it (I do three sachets...

Random fact alert! Apparently if your feeling a bit weak and sleepy in the middle of the day, you should lie on your back with your legs straight up, it is supposed to send a rush of blood and fresh O2 to your head making you feel better. X

Well done dan! I'm weighing in on Monday too! I switched over to slim and save, exante is really good but I just prefer the texture of the shakes and soups on s&s. x

Oh hello! There you are ladies! Our treat for doing so well! X

I have had a thought... Now that I have a little mini diary to record goals and achievements in and bad/good days I am going to start an ego boost section at the back! Basically every time I am given a compliment about losing weight, I record it! Date and who said it and then when I'm having a...

Hi kitty! Good luck, how are you finding it so far? Xx

Wow I am no longer worried :) that's a fab loss! X

I've been reading this too! And I've found it really really helps! You should defo get a copy xx

I'm going for a run tonight! Will only be 30 minutes after work so won't be far at all but it'll be a run! Lol x

Thanks ladies you are all my rocks! Anyone who is not on a vlcd doesn't know what it's like when stress hits if you're a comfort eater. Any way today is a new day! Bar for breakfast, soup for lunch and probably the same for dinner. Currently having some tea. I hope this tea drinking doesn't...

I did go home and had a very late cup of tea! Went into tescos a picked up a magazine and a book to keep track of losses and stuff like that. So really tescos was rather productive x

Honk!

Currently sitting in tescos car park after an argument with the fiancé....not really sure why though. It's like my brain brought me here to buy various comfort food but my body is saying it doesn't want it. Quite the achievement I think! Now best turn around and go home lol x

Wow well done! X

I'm a skin specialist, so lots of different things really lol! What about yourself? I'm in at 8:30 tomorrow so I feel your pain! My reception team need a flipping good smack today! My colleague called one of them on speaker phone and she didn't think I was in the room and promptly started...

Aggghhh work! Not in till 11am but I'm already stressed out. Bloody targets! Opted for an ultra bar and a cup of tea for breakfast to treat myself. Went out for dinner with the family last night. Well it wasn't meant to be dinner, I invited my parents out for drinks at the pub with us but when...

Yeah it's just I normally get a lecture about "why do you need new brake pads? Have you been driving wrong?" And was scared he'd think I'd been mistreating the car (silly I know but he still scared me like I'm 5 years old lol) As it was he instead focused on the fact my car is at 42000 miles...

Yeah I agree, I've got a bulk but of packs so what I do is put 2 weeks worth down stairs and hide the rest out of the way in the fiancé's car so it doesn't look like I have too many tempting things to pick from. I don't do well with too many options x

Omg my dad is going to kill me! Money is a little tight this month and my fiat was due for its 3 rd year service so he said book it and ill pay for it. Well I just spoke to the garage and it needs two new tyres and two new brake pads too :( So that's an extra £150 before VAT and then the...

Hi! Don't worry that stage will pass. Well done for making t to day three! X

Honk x

These are a little tight round the waist, do up fine but after a while day in them I can't wait to get them off! Need to drink some water I deffinately haven't drink enough! X

Thanks hasn't though of it like that! I do like the meals yum yum x

Haha bit like a man, slow on the uptake haha xx

Makes losing weight on conventional diets harder so this diet is definitely one of the best for you. You're doing so well too! Xx

Just bought myself a pair of size 16 jeggings! I know it's a size 16 still but it would have been an 18 a few weeks ago and my size 18s are falling down :) xx

Adorable!! It's so special when they find you and choose you to be their mummy! Our Bella cat adopted us in January and she is just the loveliest thing! What's even better is Chris said no cat to me when we moved in together and then one jury showed up 6 months later. He thinks I planned it lol...

Hello everyone! Well I'm feeling rather slim today! Random day to feel slim but I do. Woke up with a good amount of energy which was nice, didn't feel like I was hauling my ass out of bed. Had a strawberry shake to start the day off yummy! Just having lots of water, need to increase it a bit...

Yeah I must admit I am a little worried about liking s&s too much and going off the rails! X

S and S Worked out cheaper for me as I would have done the pick your own from exante any way and the s and s stuff is pick your own without them charging more so big plus! X

Honk!

Oh that's a good walk! I only did a three mile walk today really didn't fancy a run. Xx

Oh ok yay! Really didn't want to move over completely. The wedding is not till the third weekend in September so plenty of time! You've got the fun of waiting for everyone to get back to you now chelly! All those rsvps lol! Xx

Good luck! I'm moving over from exante this week! Been on it nearly 4 weeks and I can't wait to have slim an save instead! X

Hi everyone! I'm new here but not new to vlcd! I've been on exante nearly4 weeks and last week my friend gave me one of her slim and save packs to try. OMG it was amazing! So amazing that nothing from my exante pack tasted nice any more. So I ordered slim and save to carry on my weight loss...

Ooohhh today was a day for deliveries! A friend have me some slim and save to try last week and I've got to say I really really liked it! So much so that it really put me off everything exante with the exception of the carbonara. So as my packs end this week I decided to order slim and save...

She is a machine! X

Eeeeekkkkk wedding invite have arrived! They are truly stunning! We had wallets made for them with our names on the seal and a little diamond on the top. When you open them there is the official invite mounted on the left and then 3 inserts on the right. The card is pearlescent, there is a...

I don't even think they do that much and wouldn't buy them personally (then again I've only taken 2!) but the green tea extract I've heard more about and will try and take every day with milk thistle tablets xx

Don't worry raspberry ketones aren't the same sort of thing, he wouldn't give them to me otherwise, they are just a pure extract from raspberries and according to all the literature are a good energy booster and good for weight loss when you use them with a diet. He's been building naturally for...

Well today I woke up late oops! So grabbed a bar on the way out the door and had it with some tea when I got in. Also one of my lovely body building friends gave me a present! He's not hugely keen on vlcd but knows how well it's going so he gave me some supplements to help keep my energy up...

Thanks Marge I'm really happy with it! Following all your leads in the scales seeing as you did so well xx

Chelly you are a weight loss machine! Your losses are so inspirational! Xx

Honk! X

Run 5k then walk the rest of it ;) ill be doing a walk, jog, run routine anyway, I definitely can't run all of it. X

That does make it harder. We can do it though! I have it easier coz I don't have anyone to look after apart from the fiancé so I can go for a run when I get in from work. Maybe weekends would be good? X

2 miles is all You need to start building stamina. X

Ooohhh can I join in? I have race for life 10k on the 30th June and I'm still struggling with running longer then 10 minutes at a time! I can do 7k in 70 minutes which isn't very good :( but I'm working on it! Did a 5.5k yesterday in 45 minutes x

Thanks! I thought it was the lesser of two evils lol. X

Well last night my mum dropped off some of her ridiculously delicious looking cake at my house for the fiancé, only a little bit for him as I'd said he wanted some and I felt bad that he thought he couldn't have any as I was on such a strict diet. The naughty cake monster got into my brain and...

Hmmmm that one is more tricky. Orange food flavouring? Or does that have sugar or calls In it?

I love chocolate mint! So much so I make my chocolate shakes up with cold peppermint tea! Does the trick if you miss it xx

Honk

Slight change to dinner I had carbonara with 1x floret of broccoli and cauliflower. Really really enjoyed it. I made it and let it stand while I cooked the fiancé's dinner and when I sat down to it the pasta was so thick and bulked out and the veg was all mushy so it was like a real meal. Was so...

I think I might do it once or twice a week, trick my mind! Well Today is definitely a good day so far. I've caught up on sleep, water and food packs. So not hungry or tired or grumpy. Went for a 5.5k jog round the lake this morning before breakfast, then had my chocolate shake. Going to...

Honk! A very well deserved honk

It did feel a bit more special, odd! I won't try it with my boulion xx

I'm drinking coke zero from a champagne glass, this is how low I've sunk lol! X

Thanks Marge I know he doesn't mean it he just doesn't like family gatherings without me lol. Ill be ok I'm just such a grump! And yes shrimp the cake is cruel! She even posted a picture of it for me...I hate you and your gorgeous cakes becca!! Lol x

This is the worst diet day so far! I've been hungry, tired, lethargic and grumpy all blimmin day! What a waste of the sunshine. I think I know why. The last two days have been so so busy, early starts, migraines, late finishes, travel, not drinking enough and on my feet a day hosting events...

Well the cake has turned into a four layer, butter cream and white chocolate icing tower of doom! So I think we will skip going round I'm sure my mother will understand. X

Honk honk honk!!!!! X

Thanks ladies! I'm really enjoying this way of eating, I know I'm only just threeish weeks in but hopefully it'll keep me going until September. It's my mums birthday on Monday and everyone is having a takeaway round my brothers house. I said we would stop by after they've finished so its not...

Well according to my fitness pal the dinner only had about 10g carbs so I think it kept me ketosis. I'm not hungry so that's a good sign. Just absolutely shattered! X

Lol! I just got home! Well today was a success in my opinion. I got thought the whole day on nothing until 3pm when a migraine hit. Bought some migraleave, coke zero and had my bar. Sorted it out so it was more of a hangover type headache. Finished at 9pm and ran for the train. Met my dad at...

Well today should be fun! 5am train into London to host an event that finishes at 8:30pm so won't get home till probably 11pm. Yay!!!!! Had to bring three bars with me as I spent so long making myself up (hair extensions, false eyelashes, red nails etc) I ran out of time to make a shake. On the...

Chris has taken the scales out of the house...I have no option but to wait lol! It's killing me already!!!! X

I really like them! Thy fill me up better then the exante bars and they don't feel like diet food at all. Also they are bigger too so psychologically I feel fuller :) x

The ultra slim bars haven't as far as I'm aware, a lot of people use them and have been fine. But I think the shakes are a no no. X

Hi autumn! I did cd about 3 years ago. And I quite liked it. I haven't started back on slim and save yet as I'm working through my exante packs first but a friend gave me a slim and save tester box to try. I find the shakes not too dissimilar apart from the crispy ones which are much nicer and...

And I love my colleague...but every day she repeatedly says "what am I gonna have for lunch" and I mean at least once very 20 minutes until lunch. And when I suggest something she ums and ahs over it, then says the same thing again 20 minutes later. Discussing your jacket potato, pasta, mc...

Exante day 16 TOTM is here! After it being delayed by the diet and making me a hormonal grump I am glad to have it. Problem is I'm now actually hungry. I won't stray off the diet as I'm not starving but I have an empty rumbling tummy feeling. Not great. Dosed up on cocodamol, lots of...

Yeah easily, I love water, if I'm thirsty that's what I drink. But I NEED coke zero for cinema visits, it's either that or a tub of something unmentionable! I also have a can when I'm having a bad day, I class it as my naughty treat :) I feel so devilish drinking it lol. Problem is now its in...

Brita filter is amazing! It makes water tastes less...metalicy for want of a better word, I live in a hard water zone and have one built in to the tap. Or kept in a jug in the fridge. X

I took 5 days to really get into it properly. I had dry mouth, metallic type taste, was pretty happy and had a good amount of energy. I also have ketostix, they aren't hugely reliable but I did one that day and it confirmed a good ketosis. X

Hubby to be has hidden the scales until 22nd June! Because I know what I'm like ill be obsessing over this stone bracket and ill end up going off plan. If I can get into the 14s next time I step on then ill be fine from that point on but the 15s I always struggle with. So I accept the challenge...

Well done! I haven't weighed in since Sunday and I'm not weighing in until 22nd June, it's hard isn't it! X

Thursdays not long at all, you can get through two days. X

It's a blimmin nightmare on a vlcd at first, takes some real getting used to. Xx

Thanks ladies. I think it's coz I'm coming on to time of month soon, but I think the diet is delaying it so making me a bit hormonal, I cried at the new kids film Epic at the cinema yesterday! It Wasn't even sad. Dinner really filled me up so I'm in a very satisfied mood, I added half a raw...

Uggggg having a down day. Felt really depressed all day and can't shake it. Fiancé is away on training again! So another night to myself. Working late shifts all week, gotta go to London and do a late one in Thursday too so won't be home till gone 10pm and doing an event on Friday till 10pm too...

That looks good!

Wow! You are an inspiration. That is a fab weightloss considering you added a meal (made the right choice there!) and are in the healthy weight range. Amazing. Xx

Oooohhhh devious chelly lol love the maniacal laugh. Unfortunately my dad is paying for the wedding so I can't take it out of the wedding fund. BUT we budget £75 a week for food/household so if I take £28 a week for me that leave loads for Chris and the house (cat, cleaning etc) I just need to...

Whoop whoop well done! You could even potentially make it into the 13s!! X

Thanks guys! Chelly the film was lovely, I cried twice! Xx

Honk with a 5k run! Xx

Kettle bells are an amazing workout you need strength and stamina and cardiovascular. Running is all about training really. Once you've done the training it's easy. I should really push myself further more with it. X

Wow you've done so so well! I used to do kettle bells and spin. Spinning was great but can't afford the gym membership ATM. Kettle bells absolutely kill! I've got a really heavy one as a friend of mine is a weight lifter and was like "no! U are not lifting a lighter one just because you are a...

Marge Your stats are AMAZING!! How long have you been doing exante? X

Thanks Marge! U think ill stick to exante now I've gotten over my fear of carbs :) lol! I really like the simplicity. I've got 4ish weeks worth left and then i think I might try slim and save for the last 6 (depending on how good the exante spag Bol is!) Have just been for an hours jog and...

Haha I think I can trade some sort of favour for my bulk buy of sachets lol! X

It just works out cheaper to buy the 149 pack thats the only reason I thought about doing that one, however it is a little over my budget...might have to get the fiancé drunk first. Xx

I did it! Although I'm not gonna lie it was a close one I could have sneaked a sweet when he wasn't looking lol! Thank goodness is saved my bar xx

You can get 140 items for £149 plus p&p so it's bot too far off pricing :) and you can mix and match as much as you like it's not a selected box. Xx

Having a bit of struggle today. Decided to go to the cinema to see epic with the fiancé. Took my bar. Got a coke zero. And now... There is a child next to me with a huge cup of sweets, popcorn and his sister has ice cream.... Oh my days. Willpower dont fail me now!

ThanK's shrimp! Must admit I am really struggling today. Feel really...hungry but not actual hunger. Just lethargic and craving and a bit headachy. This is one of my "never full days" Taken myself to the cinema to watch Epic with the fiancé to distract myself. Breakfast: chocolate shake made...
