I actually wanted to start on Saturday but it was my Mums birthday, so although I didn't consume any shakes, I did watch my calories. Had such a tiny slice of cake!
Yesterday was fine. I had a shake for breakfast around 10/11am. Didn't feel hungry for hours, consumed lots of water. Had a snack and then since dinner was ready around 5pm, didn't bother having an afternoon shake. Also, as my mum had made Biryani, I didn't feel guilty, as I had calories left from a shake and two snacks.
I think being on slimfast will help me stop snacking. I'm due to start a new job in a few weeks, so I think I'm mentally 'ready' to 'start new'.
This thread really does help give incentive to proceed with weight loss.
It's only day two and I want to weigh myself already lol!
Hope you & everyone else have a lovely day xx
I'm finding this really difficult, I take a bottle of water too work but there just isn't time to nip off to fill it up all the time! I've had about 3 tall glasses worth today and just having a herbal tea now (which I think counts as no caffeine). Aiming for about 6. I guess it'd help if I knew why we need 2 liters..is it to keep hunger at bay or is it to do with the extra fiber we're getting from the shakes?

Weigh in day today. 1 week in and 8lbs down
Well done Han!! After my triumphant first week of 7lbs, it was my weigh in this morning and I have stayed the same :-( it's not a gain so I guess that's something but a bit deflating after the first week. I need to stay focused!! X
I've been off work sick today so had a shake for breakfast and just had half a weightwatchers cake for a snack! Having Chinese chicken and mushroom 350 cal for dinner. Would have eaten more but I was asleep all afternoon! Strangely I was really hungry when I went to sleep (11:30 so it was too early for a lunch shake) but on waking up I wasn't really hungry anymore. I am trying not to weigh myself until Thursday (a week into SF diet) but had a sneaky look today and quite a few pounds lighter, although know they will go back on tomorrow when I'm back to my 2 shakes and dinner :-(.
Anyone been going a month yet? I've penciled in a meal out with hub to celebrate - weight watchers wine and something from the low cal menus at either prezzo or zizis!

Ugh feeling kinda down.
My starting weight was an estimate. I say an estimate because the last time I weighed myself was in November. Prior to that, I weighed myself in August.
August - 12st9lbs
November - 11st11lbs
I really should have weighed myself on sunday! Instead I assumed I was still 11st11lbs.
Today, on my 5th day, I decided to weigh myself. The scales read 12st3lbs.
Totally clueless as to what my starting weight was!
I think I'll weigh myself Sunday, since it'll be a week since I've started, and use that weight to proceed.

so not a good day for me today guys :-(.
Shake for breakfast then I met some friends for lunch at Prezzo - I planned ahead and looked up cals so opted for the healthiest pasta - Arrabbiata - which I thought was 383 cals....I then thought I'd go for dessert - the menu didn't have cal info.
It turns out the pasta was only 383 cals for the light version - mine was 503...then dessert was another 432!!!! That means my '600 cal meal' was actually a whopping great 935!!!! I still have some cal allowance as I haven't had anything else today but I still feel bad :-S...what do you reckon? Just a snack to fill me up before bedtime instead of another shake?

Hi girls! Haven't been on as I've been so busy with cake making and decorating, well done everyone! I don't seem to be losing weight as fast as any of you guys but I'm sticking to it! Some days I on,y have one shake split into two with loads of fruit, managed to fit into a pair of river island trousers which is usually impossible no matter what size I buy as the fit around the top of the thigh area is tight. I will weigh my self on Sunday and see if I've lost any more I'm currently at 12st 8lbs, I started last week at 13st. Need to reach 10stone! Xxx

Ok so today I have had a shake for breakfast, and then decided to have boiled egg on toast for dinner instead of a meal bar.. I just needed to eat!! I am also faced with a homemade heart cake that's in the fridge, fella made it me for Valentine's lol!! I'm happy to say it's all intact, I've resisted all day, but it looks lovely, creamy chocolatey and raspberry on top! I'll have to have a bit after tea but not much. It's good I can give it to the kids after their teas
Also I have a confession! I had a takeaway on Wednesday night :-O shocking I know but I was hungry and it was late and basically i was lazy!! It was soon good but I really felt it on the stomach. It was sore afterwards, had to lie down on sofa moaning about my stuffed belly! I can't believe just 2/3 weeks ago I had the same amount and didn't feel it touch the sides!!
We need to treat our selves once in a while otherwise we are just depriving ourselves therefore more likely to binge eat, so I'm not concerned about it too much. Plus I cheeky weighed yesterday and I'd lost 2lbs since Tuesday so not bad. Properly not the case now that takeaway has probably found its way to my thighs :-D
All we can do is our best so keep slimming girls! Xx

Welcome fluttershy, good luck with first weigh in! It's so much easier to diet while at work isn't it lol! Well I say that, until my work is quiet then I end up really wanting crisps or a bowl of chips (I work in a pub/restaurant)
Tonight will be tricky, the Valentine's menu looks divine, I'll be salivating all night!! X
