No one apart from my partner Lee knows I'm doing it! I've withdrawn a little from social scenes and will emerge as a butterfly in approx 6 months lol. Not even told anyone at work x

Good idea!
I've started this week - on day 5 and been 100% so far.
I need to lose a large amount too but it seems like such a huge task so just focuses on each day and have set a 2 stone mini goal by 1st June.
Good luck on your journey - this forum seems like a great source of support.

Hi all
I'm not doing too bad so far I'm feeling determined, I'm a carer so I've took the lads I look after to the pictures and McDonald's today but I've not caved, always feel a bit down when I first start anything like this as it takes a lot of the social side of life away but the benefits outweigh that just have to take each day as it comes, hope your all having a good day x

Yeah you just have to prepare yourself for having to say no to stuff it's so hard sometimes though! It's been fine I'm starving like but I've done this before so knew what to expect, I'd probably be in bed by now but I'm at work so can't go until 11
how's your day been?

You did well. Me and my husband took my father in his wheelchair to Tesco, while I pushed trolley with my daughter. Then we went to a cafe before we took him bk to care home. He had a cream scone, my daughter had a gingerbread man, my husband had cheesecake and I had a bottle of water and a black coffee haha
Could have killed them for being so inconsiderate.
Good Luck for Day 2

Hello everyone!
I am a total newbie, been reading everyone's diaries since I started on Thursday, I am finding it quite hard because I work at a school and am supposed to sit and eat with the kids at the canteen and the food is always fatty and sugary and tempting!! I've asked if I can just bring my shake in and have that but they won't let me :-(
I usually have the porridge for brekkie and then a bar at 11, pretend to eat with the kids at lunch but end up chucking most of the stuff from my plate (which I hate because I hate food waste when so many people are starving!!) then sit in my car and have my shake afterwards like a lonely loser ha ha ha! I think the kids at school think I am totally crazy but it will all be worth it when I can actually play with them in the playground without fear of causing an earthquake with my wobbly belly stomping around!
At night I usually have a quarter of a chicken breast grilled in 0 cal spray and about 5 asparagus, just because I like to sit down and have a meal with my own kids and not show them a bad example of being on yet another "diet" (they've seen me start so many and then just not get anywhere and give up and drink loads of wine and eat a load of cheese in despair, so I haven't told anyone this time, just want to get a few lbs off first!)
Anyway, you are all doing so so so well, well done, it's very inspirational so thank you!!!
Good luck everyone and hang in there, it WILL be worth it!!xx

Oh you feel like strangling them sometimes don't you haha! My fella is quite good about it normally, he feels bad eating in front of me but then that makes me feel weird so I usually tell him I'm not bothered even though it's hard!
Good luck! Sounds hard to have to sit there and pretend to eat but like you said it'll all be worth it
