[the secret dieter]

thought I would copy the idea and start a thread for those of us who started this week so we can share the struggle!
so how is it going for you?

Just wanted to say Hi and :welcome:

I started last Friday [22nd] so this is my 6th day. I've stuck to it 100% so far and, like everyone says, it gets easier....

Good luck on your weight loss journey .

Hi
I started on Tuesday, my first time on a VLCD. I lost 8 stone in 2010 on WW and spent 2011 putting 7 of those stones back on. Totally disgusted with myself and I need to get it off again.
So today is day 3 and although I've been less hungry today, I've found it harder to 'not eat'. I really hope the temptation gets less the longer you are on the diet!!
Good luck to everyone starting this week. x

Hi Diembroadhurst- you're not weighing yourself for a month? You have will of steel! You will be super happy with the end result, I am sure! I wish I could do that- I have to stop weighing every day! Good luck to all the new starters- I am starting again today!

That's an excellent attitude Diem, I tend to weigh every 4 days or so which is a vast improvement on my twice daily weigh ins before!

I think the way you feel in yourself is the most important thing. After 5 weeks and 20lbs, I keep catching sight of myself in the mirror and thinking "is that really me?!" I have an actual butt and shoulders, rather than doughy flab and my collar bones have once again been uncovered!

Keep up the good work xox

How is everyone getting on?

day 7 today and the big chill has set in brrrrr! I'm still 100%, still drinking my water and still getting my minimum 10k steps a day (10k steps is the equivalent of walking 5 miles). I'm really pleased to have made it nearly through the weekend unscathed and am looking forward to the next week with only 1 curve ball to contend with. I have gotten into a nice litte routine of when to eat through the day and mentally seem to be in a really good place.

I hope everyone is feeling positive and motivated
