Day 10
Thanks for the support everyone.
Working 2-8 today, so I think I will take my protein meal with me and have it for my tea when I am at work or else I think I will really struggle. So far have only taken bars into work for my break because I do not want people knowing i am doing VLCD, can't bear all the judging especially as I work in the health service.
To keep my out of the kitchen last night I made a start on my friends 50th birthday invitations for her party. This morning i am still covered in glitter, my face is sparkling in the light
I am in my usual jeans today, in fact the only pair I now have and lately they have been cutting me in two, but today are much more comfortable, actually feel like they fit again and the legs are looser too.
Because I have a big belly, especially over the belly button area and above, usually when I lie down in the bath I can't see the lower part of my flab below my belly button, but last night in the bath I did! I could see all my glorious flubber that is normally hidden from me so hopefully i am losing some of my belly!
A strange victory but a victory non the less.

You are doing great and any victory however strange should be celebrated hun x.
I know what you mean though - little things like that mean a whole lot. I remember being amazed I was sittong with one leg crossed over the other agin - something I had got too big for, also fastening sandle straps withouht being a contortionist and getting out of breath - all small victories but so worth while!

Day 12
Have still been 100% and still determined. Jeans are definately more comfortable now and workshirts this week felt enourmous. Had a sneaky look at the scales today and I have lost again this week, but will not look again until official weigh in day on Saturday. I have been feeling hungry the past 2 days but just ignoring it.
Went to the gym yesterday and did a bit of cardio which always makes me feel a bit better, and started using a new weights machine for my belly, so fingers crossed I notice a difference soon. I think I am just scared of getting a lot of loose skin, but I suppose if it happens it happens.
I think my next order to S&S will just be shakes, bars and some soups. I am really struggling to eat the meal packs, they taste ok but the look of them really puts me off.
Anyway have a gp appointment this morning and going to the gym early afternoon, and then will spend the rest of the day making birthday invitations for my friend, so that should keep my mind occupied and out of the kitchen lol.

We have similar stats too. Hopefully we will both continue to lose weight quickly and easily!

I should moisturise more, have enough body lotions lol
Will start doing that each night after my bath.
I have noticed that some areas seem to get lumpier when I lose weight and then they will even out, just have to perserver

Bio oil is good for the skin issues- and it'll take years (according to the websites) for your skin to 'shrink' in ...my tummy looks nasty

I think I will have a yukky belly. I had 2 c-sections and even when slim have an overlap over my scar.
I will just have to get a tummy tuck, sure I could persuade OH to let me have one

Day 14
Have still been 100% and very proud of myself, especially considering I didn't get in from work last night until 1am and I usually have a good old binge because I am so hungry, and even though my tummy was rumbling I just drank my coke zero and went to bed at 3am without eating anything off plan.
Another late night tonight, so am determined to do the same this evening, as I have my 2nd weigh in tomorrow. I am excited and nervous all at the same time hoping I have lost more weight. I read so many stories of people STS on their 2nd week, I hope I have lost something so that I don't lose heart.
I have my friends 50th birthday in about 4 weeks, so would love to be anywhere in the 13's by then. I wont have been that low in weight for about 10 years.
I have decided that once I lose my first stone I am getting my hair done, a cut, colour and some foils too, and then once I get into the 13's I am going to reward myself then, maybe a massage or a facial.
OH has just left for work and it is so miserable here, I sneaked the heating on and intend so cosy up and watch some of my recorded programmes. A bit lazy this week cos I have been so tired with all my late shifts, so only went to the gym on Tuesday, will try and make a point of getting there twice next week at the very least.
