Beelishy's VLCD Weight Loss Adventure!!

Well done in cracking the first day and being rewarded with that whoosh. Usually takes more days for me but I think you mentally needed to see the drop.

Really tempted by the penny sale but I think I have enough for now and there'll be another along soon. Although I did like the choco balls but I think they do put me in a choccy smacking frame of mind.
 
I was so tempted by those but I too think theyd set me off. I need to really try to stick with basics and not let bits of this n that creep in.

Tried to have a nap but T is being a noisy beast in the other room. Z is still snoozing though so once shes up I will crack on with lunch. Really fighting the urge to switch up the menu today. Want some quorn but will stick with packs. Must. Just so hungry. But itll pass, eventually!
 
Evening.

Where IS everyone? hahaha

So. I ended up having 3 pancakes and about 175g quorn for dinner...and 3 eggs. Then I was starving tonight so i just made an apple and cinnamon porridge pack into a pancake and OMG its so much more filling than the other pancake packs!! SOOO much more filling. Way denser. And just. Wow. huge difference. Im sad now that I dont have any more of that. :/ lol. Its less carbs and more filling!! Anyway. Meh. So Ive kinda gone a bit over today...but still mostly on plan. So hopefully not too bad tomorrow. Im kinda expecting to see it creep up a little tomorrow anyway as a 5lb loss overnight seems a bit much. But Im going to just keep on. :)

I want apple porridge for pancakes!! Waaahhhhhh!!! lol
 
Hi bee! I'm here! been awol today and off plan but have come back to face the music asap so it doesn't turn into a month long episode :)

5 lb overnight is awesome that must boost the determination :) well done!

100% for me from tomorrow :rolleyes: I MEAN IT!

Ugh money! Spent loads today but it was mostly essential ;) son was desperate for new trainers his were falling apart bless him

So much for my super thrifty month, one day I shall live within my means....but not today ;)
 
Morning :)


day 2 done :) 220.6 this morning. I should just about manage to scrape back under 220 by WI next Sunday. Ive had an extra day this week (started on Saturday!) so that will help too. I dont expect to see much more of a loss at all for a few days though. Ive just dropped the best part of 7lbs in 2 days. Very pleased with that.

Im going to try to make the pancake packs with an egg white and less water....the same as the porridge packs...and see if that makes them more dense and thereby, more filling. In my head...it seems like it should. But we shall see. it could be TOTAL FAIL. lol But may as well try it!

Food today:

2x pancake
2x chili (with a cheese slice melted through and a yolky egg on top - sounds gross but is so yum lol)

923/67

Im really craving broccoli though. Weird I know. But I struggle with having to tell myself off and/or feeling bad/guilty for wanting (or having) VEG!! So I dunno. I might get some. I might not. I really want to keep to as close to 100% as possible, for as long as possible.

already had a pint on water and working on my 2nd and having a coffee. it majorly helps that i wasnt up at 5:30am today! Zoe let me sleep til 7! Ive also decided I want to tryyyy to not drink anything past 6:30 or 7pm. I hate getting up a billion times to wee...and theres always a chance i will wake the kids. Anyway. thats the plan!

Im off out later to get some errands run - paying bills, getting some fruit for the kiddos..etc.

I would so so love to be back to my lowest weight by edinburgh on the 2nd. so i need to stay in this zone. and stay focused. :)

have a nice monday, all!

Well done. You may well have some more loss to come. I did a stone when I was really bad post birthday.

I have the pancakes with a dollop of yoghurt with lemon water flavour in. Makes it really filling but it is extra cals and carbs. Agree the Apple porridge is really satisfying. Going to have one of those this morning. :)

Have a good one and yay to a lie in.
 
Morning! You're right back into the zone woo hoo!!

Let's get this done girlfriend I'm on a time limit now and I want to be as close to ten and a half by hols as possible...that's four Weeks to lose 11 (plus the damage from yesterday) lbs.

We can't be messing around now, game face!!!!!

*roars into the mirror*

Xxx
 
Hiya :) Back after outing to run some errands. Feel completely exhausted now. Like I have no energy. I guess in a way I sorta dont! lol. Anyway. Im boiling some broccoli as we speak. *hmphf*. I couldnt decide what to do about that...and i figured its really not a huge deal..as long as i KEEP control. broccoli doesnt then mean a bit of sour cream or a bit extra cheese or a few chips or a couple of the kids crisps..or a nibble of this, that and the other which arent on plan. So yeah.

had my pancake before i left ...with the egg white and it was delish and far more filling. so yay. that works. i dont count that egg white at all. so, even better! going to have a chili and such for lunch. then a nap with the mini-beast. then half pancake for afternoon snack. chili etc for dinner and other half of pancake for evening snack. *yawn*

seriously. i am so so tired. ugh.
 
omgggggggg. my new fave meal - chili pack with a bit salt and hot sauce, a yolky egg on top and broccoli on the side. stuffed. felt like a normal meal. very satisfied!! yaay. definitely having this for dinner tonight, again! But now..gonna drink my 3rd pint of water and then head in for a nap (please please please, let me sleeeeeep!).

I would be incredibly pleased and grateful (not to mention surprised!) if i DID manage to see a number under 220 tomorrow. :) but for now...im happily trucking along.
 
Oh....i slept! Yay!

And resisting the girl's reese's pieces and pb whoppers (american equiv of maltesers).

and love these pancakes with an egg white added in.

WIN, WIN, WIN!!

lol

(now watch my weight go up a bit tomorrow! lol)

having my half pancake snack and a coffee and my 5th pint of water. then around 4:30 (about an hour) I will head in and start their dinner :)
 
don't worry about the broc, seriously!! haha :D :D

it's great to make new 'meals' out of what we've got, makes it so much less of a chore. I say that, but I've only had 2 exante bars today so far as I couldn't even be bothered to make up a soup or a porridge haha, LAZY!!

I used to love the S&S macaroni cheese when they did it, with leeks YUMMSTERS!

Glad you got a little snooze, that is vital these first few days of carb withdrawal :D

Looking forward to seeing if the scales go down any more tomorrow!
 
Thanks honey. I know that feeling of simply not being arzed about putting forth the effort to make a pack. And then I think about how ridiculous Im being and (usually) get with it and make one. It kinda gets desperate though because Ive not got bars. So I HAVE to make a pack.

Annnyyywayy.

I went ahead and did a terribly impatient-cow-ish thing. I booked (MORE) tickets to edinburgh for TOMORROW. And Im going to sneak up after hubby goes to work....with the girls. And sneak back before he gets home. he's going to be very unimpressed. he doesnt really "go ballistic" but he's going to go his own version of that...which...pfft...i aint scared! hahaha I just couldnt stand sitting around where theres sh!t to get done. So we can just have a nice day out there next week. lol. hehe. oops.

anyway. i also learned, after ordering the birth cert this evening, that I can scan and upload the notiarized document(s) once its sorted. so i will do that tomorrow too. and i SHOULD actually have it back - provided all goes well - by mid- late july. YAY.

So now. Its gonna be crazily tricky to get the girls onto the train and the stroller onto the train. But Im going to manage. Its almost like I need to prove to myself that I can do this, on my own. So here we go. I cant even mention it to Tabby because she will blab. lol. So once we are up in the morning and i will tell hubby that i have decided to take the girls out. Or I might tell him later that my friend M wants to go to coffee tomorrow. That might be better. I hate to ADD to lie of it all. but yeah. eek.
 
OMG!! you sneak!! haha - quite exciting though...I do the same kinds of things, it's sometimes not worth the argument beforehand - just do what you gotta do then own up afterwards with a cute look on your face ;)

I totally understand how you feel, you just want to get things moving and hate being inert! Men seem to be more....'hey it'll be alright in the end....' in my experience while we're more 'let's sort this NOW!'

exciting! you should blindfold tabby so she can't blab as she won't know what has happened....or chloroform ;) ;)
 
That's it, I REALLY can't order any more packs now...I've probably got enough to last until Xmas!! haha - but need to be prepared for when I get back off hols - and might take some with me too for breakfast some days
