"What are these raspberry bars from tesco like? Are they by tesco? "
Hi Sarah. The bars are tescos own Ultraslim bars. I get them in tesco Extra store - the smaller ones dont seem to stock them. They are really filling and the rasp ones are yummy. I like the exante ones but i can't get enough of them In the deals exante do so i supplement with tesco bara. Working so far..
Your calorie counting worked. Great loss. Great preperation for maintaining.

Thanks lovinthesummer.
I had my add a meal. Had salad starter but restaurant doused it in salad creamy stuff. I ate it. Then i had a steak and salad. IT WAS ALL SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT. the food wasnt that nice and the steak was overcooked. When i was finished i felt really deflated. So i ate half a tub of ben and jerrys when i got home. I thought it would "fix" my desire for something "tasty". It DIDNT. I just felt guilty and deflated and disappointed after. When i woke this morning the little bubble of excitement this diet had given me was replaced by fear. What if i find it super hard to get back in the zone? Oh NOOOOOOOO. I also dislike the taste in my mouth this morning. Even after teeth brushing etc theres a kind Of food taste in my mouth. Give me ketosis bad breath any day.
So here i am on Sunday morning after my rasp bar and im going to go to the pool and swim the calories i ate away. 2000 lengths!!! Maybe ill divide it up over a few days!!

Ps. I couldnt do this diet if it wasnt for minimins. Thank you all for your support and for just providing me with a place to write this stuff down

really trying again!
Oh Belle- sorry to hear about your wee slip yesterday. These things happen but the important thing is to pick ourselves up and get back on track as one little munch can often turn into several days of mega munching. You should give yourself mighty credit for that chick!
You also need to give yourself a massive pat on the back for getting this far and having the determination to change yourself and your physical body. You may not like your reflection now but I bet you like it more than you did 3 weeks ago and if you stick to plan you will love it even more within no time. I know it's hard to believe but it really does. Have yout thought about taking some private photos of yourself to compare? I did that last year and it really helped as weeks when the pounds were low coming off I looked back on my pics and could really see the difference in my appearance.
Good luck chick- hope today is a good one for you xx

Lady Gaga. What a good idea. Im going to take pics now.
Re my unravelling yesterday: ok. So i broke the diet. It seemed like something i needed to do yesterday. Today i am fighting back. I did the only thing i could think of to get back on track. I worked all the calories i ate yesterday off. I walked to the gym- 3 miles. I swam 40 lengths. I walked home the other way - 2 miles. Ive worked off about 800 calories. F U Ben and Jerry. F U.
Belle
Ps. Sorry bout the bad language but thats what kept me going up and down the pool. I kept saying it like a mantra. I may never eat ben and jerry ice cream ever again.

Day something. I cant recall. I know im in week four. Wi is on monday. Otherwise i am really in the zone now. I am not finding it hard at all and cooking for husband and kids is no bother. I am starting to seriously exercise. Nothing strenuous but lots of calories used up. I walked 5 miles or thereabouts yesterday and then swam forty lengths. Its 11am and ive already been to the pool (but had kids so couldnt do lengths) and ive walked 2 miles. Im setting off on foot to collect kids from school - another four miles. I am trying to add to my weight losses but so far all ive been doing is adding muscle! My clothes arent loser really and im still size 20. The scales arent moving. But thats all ok. I want to be 14 stone for 1st May. And then i have a weekend away in early june and i want to be 13 st for that. My son graduates primary school in late june and i want to be 12 st for that. The same son starts a new school in early sept and i want to be in the low 10s for that. I do not want to be the fat mom any more. Somewhere ive found grit. I didnt know i wanted this so badly. Im fighting for it.

Well i made a mistake. Two mistakes actually. I tried to exercise like i did when i was thin and it wiped me out and then i didnt get enough sleep. Combination= shaky imbalance within and munchies. So tonight i added a meal which consisted of all the protein we had in the house. No carbs. Feel normal again. Ill be taking the exercise a little easier for the next few weeks. Im going to stay 100% TS for ten days. That should get me to 15 st 7lbs. I hope. Then its a slippy slope to the 14s. I hope.

Had to go on a food break check my thingy for why! Week 4 belle your doing amazing! You can do it!!!!!!!!

Hi Chazsucks - I have kinda surprised myself. I really expected to fail again. Yet here I am and I am now more determined than ever...bring on Monday!!
Tibbytoots - I LOVE the name. Have you a diary I can follow?
Hi 13. Glad to see you back again. I found your diary - in the wrong place!!!! Hope you are feeling better. Keep posting.
So its day ?? I have committed myself to ten days 100% TS. Now I KNOW I am supposed to be on TS anyway and committing to 10 days is paltry. But I was weakening and reaching for the turkey slices I keep in the fridge for the kids lunch - so hence the committment. A pledge to all my fellow exanters. Ten days. I am on day 2 and I CAN DO THIS. And if a big fattie food junkie TV addict couch potato like me can do it so can ANYONE. And if I can do 10 days I can do 100 etc etc. I really want to get to my first goal. I will cry with joy and oddly I am looking forward to that!.

Day ?? I had a sneaky weigh in this morning and i am down 5lbs from last monday. Thank god. I thought i had a strange metabolism that wasnt going to react to this diet or something. 10 days with no weight loss is hard to bear. Thanks to all on here for just existing in the internet ether cos i coulsnt do this without minimins.
Ive bought ten boxes of tesco bars today. Theres committment. And im not going to break on st pats day or mothers day. My oh is working all weekend anyway so there wasnt going to be much on - no dinners out or anything like that. Gotta pay the mortgage.
Day 3 of my mini commitment of ten days. Ive got To lose 1.5lbs to get to my first goal- the quarter way mark. I'd love to do that by Monday!!!

Day 26 i think. I am going strong Darcy. Thanks. I know ill have troubles along this journey but right now im doing well. Another look at the scales. Im 15st 7 this morning. Bit dehydrated i think so im not counting it. Proper weigh in on monday. But the trajectory is downwards. And i am happy. Today is st pats day. Off to the parade now mit kinder. Will be day from hell. Think ive been overdoing the exercise so will probably have some protein this evening.

Ten days belle you can do it maybe you should right a list of days and cross them off each day (I love crossing off lists!) maybe find a top or shoes or book a massage for day 10 or 11 and you can have it when you've completed ten days TS!!! X
