Yup doing this cheating doesn't work.
Read the above entries and dismayed how much work came to nothing, because of being offered and excepting a bloody cake! She's not my friend now anyway.
I am not stopping this diet for anyone or anything. So much effort lost. Well not this time. I will see it through

Indeed reading the entries above have given me pause for thought. I think it's the pattern I've just realised I do... Get down near to 15, get complacent, eat my way back to near 17, do exante or another vlcd for 6 weeks and rinse and repeat!
Anyway. Maybe look at it as a series of 6 weeks. I only lose the weight big style if I don't cheat. So need to eat the packs every day. It's just I've got a deeply entrench habit now of having a bit of cheese milk and milk with my packs. But it has to stop

Wow, have read this thread and I'd be a fool to think it wouldn't happen again. Knowing my psychology I have to push through the 5-6 week barrier and not give up when I get to 15 stone.
At this moment I want to keep doing this diet for 20 weeks and then review. So that will take me to the end of May. I must not underestimate how badly it can go once I have fallen off the wagon. So the thing is to hold onto the wagon even if u feel a wobble.
The 3 things on my radar are 2 kiddies party's and I love party food, and then hubby's party. Oh and valentines. So I can't go off the rails for those 4 things. No pudding, no crisps, no wine. Even on those special occasions.

Was 17.10 (size 20/22) bmi 36
Am 15.8 (size 18) bmi 32.3
Will be 11.10 (size 12/14) bmi 24.8
Next weigh in in 4 days. I look increasingly thinner in the face, well my eyes have hollowed out somewhat and cheek bones defined, but still have fat pad on my jaw, my shoulders and calves are skinnier, I've lost girth above the knee but thighs generally the same size, upper belly shrunk , lower belly kinda jelly and big.
Daughter doesn't know much about weight loss says I look like I've lost 60 stone, she says you used to be this big (arms wide) but now yr like this (hands closer together).
I thought she wouldn't notice. I was this 'skinny' a couple of yrs ago, but she's forgotten.
I keep compulsively trying to find my 2008 entries , but the search doesn't go back past my last 500 entries. I also used to have a private blog on here, years of memories and photos binned as part of minimin's revamp. That's a shame, it was good to have a place to collect my thoughts.
Anyway, I am hoping to be 15.5 next weigh in.
The layer on my tongue each morning will testify, I'm in ketosis
must be burning that fat.....long may it continue.

And I'm 15.3 this am
Can see I've lost more off my face
No grumbles from gb in the week, feel like I've probably got the right balance of eating regularly and having portion control & regular weighing, plus not losing it too quick.
Anyway it's pleasing I've lost another pound. Slowly does it, edging to 15 stone

Okay week 3 off the diet and am still 15.5lb, so kinda happy with that. But I do still want to lose slowly, so may risk a lighter day today and tomorrow. Have to work out what to eat to lose slowly, rather than just maintain. So far weekly weighing, and calorie counting is keeping me on the straight and narrow, so I have had a change in behaviour, there is no other way to maintain. You Gotta stop eating so much and u have to weigh regularly. Can't quite believe I forgot that for so long

This is what reminds me to keep going. I can hardly believe it was nearly 8 years ago, but I am the same, the results will be the same when I sole source. Am excited to be back here.

Am fairly confident. Am in ketosis if not keto adapted yet.
Start weight 17.4 weigh a day or 2 in.
Realise that wholesale vlcd is too difficult for me til solidly in ketosis. But I did low carb, no calorie restriction a few yrs ago and I lost an average of 3lb a week. Therefore if I can't do vlcd I will do low carb high fat until I want to do a day on the packets
My appetite is low and I've enjoyed my food so far. Will weigh tomorrow
Was 17.4
Am 17.4
Will be foxy at 50 and a cool 11-12 stone.
