Glad those new starters are getting on pretty well. Keep it up.
I get what you mean sansukh - I haven't been very hungry for about a week now - but really craving food. Although I challenged myself today to cook dinner for the family, as one of my problems is eating basically a portions worth while cooking. It smelled lovely - and I really craved it - but I did no more than take hearty sniffs. I could control my hands. Amazing.
And..on to my TRIUMPH of the week.
I got through the awards dinner. I didn't tell colleagues the real reason why, but still had a good time. Its personal and I don't want to tell them right now, so I don't have to.
I sat through a 3 course meal that smelts lovely and was more than happy to sit there and not eat it. Helped that the people either side of me halved it out after they had eaten theirs. But still. I didn't even want it.
Only problem was I couldn't eat my bar at the dinners and as I went straight from work it was 13 hours between soup and bar (and had to sit with the food inbetween) ... and I managed to ruin the hot chocolate I had made to go with it.. so it was 3 packs.
Felt woozy this morning but feeling fine now, and positive.
Kept waivering and wondering if I can do this for the long haul, and maybe joining dad in the healthy eating that he is doing so well on. I know I would fail... but I guess I'm scared that failing LL would be that much worse and I can't get the conviction that I will - even when I have really good days.

Is back in the saddle!
You are all losing so well!!
Don't waver now anyone!! It is surprising but after a couple of weeks you won't be so hungry and you will wonder why. I think if you look at it hard it's not so much hunger pangs as boredom. You are trying to break a habit literally of a lifetime and that's not easy. Texture is the one thing I struggle with if anything. We are sociable eaters too, I make a point of sitting down at the table with my OH at breakfast, soup in mug, lunch, with bowl, and dinner, in bowl and plate for bar etc. The conversation over dinner is quite normal and it's one less routine I have broken. He's eaten, I've eaten.

Well done Em veg
I know how much the awards dinner was worrying you regarding food. So well done for being able to abstain. I bet nobody even noticed much did they?
Keep it up.
You are doing so well.
Good stories from everyone else too.
Great start everyone.

Excellent loss misswee!
And 3 cheers for EmVeg for abstaining during that dinner - it can be done!
Feeling better healthwise today, and really really positive. Going to walk the dogs now, and then I must tackle the house!
Have a great weekend everybody!

Wow Em, that's starting to tot up there!
My first WI is tomorrow but I've no idea how I've done. I haven't even been on the Wii lately.
I have the real bad shakes today and it's not just being cold. :sigh: I think I'm trying to do too much, I have a garden to sort before the builders come back again on Monday and whilst the weather is good!! Think I'll just push on for another half hour and see how I feel then.

Jan Starter
Afternoon all!!
I have some good news - after a week (& £15 later) Dr's have signed form & there's a place in the class I was hoping to join, so I will be a Jan starter on 29th Jan :wow:
I am picking up my Horse Riding Machine tomorrow pm, so will be providing an update (my boss is insisting on pics - I think she has bribery in mind....
) When feeling brave will post pics, but will post the try-out tomorrow!
My W8 pack has arrived so will be starting the plan tomorrow - Will not be reordering from them though, I'm actually rather disappointed, it's a weird programme - you can have 1/2 pint of skimmed milk a day, Coke Zero & Dr Pepper Zero (these are just a few things I've picked up so far).
Also, it feels that I'm been
penalised for not having a consultant in the area - as I ordered direct from them I had to pay delivery, plus, if you don't have a consultant (like me) then you only get support if you phone them (if they answer!) & you have to pay extra for the support CD's - I think I paid as much (if not more) than I'd have paid on LL!
I'm so pleased to have my place agreed, though I will use the packs from W8, LL is where my heart is & now I've seen the other side; it's staying here!

Hi All,
I had my pop in session today and I can't believe how much I lost. I lost 9lb in 3 days!!!! I am sooooooo pleased:bliss:
My first day was ok but my second was torture. I was ok all day then I got this horrendous headache and sicky feeling. It was 8pm and I had only had 2 packs. I was really worried that I wasn't able to get the other 2 down. So I opted to make a thai chilli popadom and a chocolate. Nothing like the real thing but it was definitely eddible.
By day 3 and I was feeling fantastic :banana dancer:
Now day 4 and I still have that buzz. I even went to the gym this morning. Just a steady 45mins and it has done me the world of good. I didn't do too bad to say that I have not been for 2 months.
I am hoping to loose another 3lbs come week 1 weigh in but I do know that is a big ask. I'll just keep plodding on and keep my fingers crossed.
Well done to everyone else who has had a great loss this week. We're all on our way to that being that slim person we want to be.
Take care everyone and good luck :cross::hug99:

16lb to go!
gary girl. Did you write down a list of all your goals etc? If you did, it might be worth going and reading them again to remind you why you're doing this. Also remember that this is only for 14 weeks which in the span of your lifetime is nothing, so although it's hard now, it'll pass so just ride it out, keep persevering it's so worth it! Above all know in your heart that this is what you want, and that you are able to go through with it! Believe in yourself.
Ok might be bad time to say this, but I just went for first WI today, and I lost 6lb over 3 days! Woot Woot! I'm over the moon and it just proved to me why it's worth sticking to. The max I was hoping for was 3lb so this is amazing for me
