First ever VLCD

Morning gorge!

Its been like constant but to be fair it's not a hard job, just feel like I'm never not there haha. Weekend I've got loads planned, I'm redecorating the front room, new floor, new suite and everything so I'll be busy but I'd rather it be like that then sitting around watching Jezza!!

Congrats on 10lbs, that's amazing!! Told you it would be more this morning, you better be proud of yourself! I'm not weighing until Easter so I won't know how much I've lost in my first week. Weighing for me gets me down, like you felt yesterday but worse, I'm not putting myself through it. I'm just getting on then seeing the results after my 88 days of 100%. That way I can focus more on seeing the physical changes too, be happy with dropping dress sizes instead of flapping over a couple of pounds. I'm finding it really easy at the min, we'll just see how I get on!!

ooo that sounds good!!! and also keeps you busy whilst your home so keeps mind off food!!! win win all round i love decorating!!!

thank you honey!! i am really proud of myself!!! i felt like crap yesterday but it was a mixture of things i think!!! didnt get much sleep in the end and am pleased those extra couple of 1lbs came off thank you for your advice!!! omg thats such a good idea!!! imagine not weighing for 88 days and then being down like two stone brackets............just all of a sudden your there!!! im so tempted to join you?! 83 days left is that right?! xxx

Feel free to come round and help! Haha. Getting the whole house done, front room this week, kitchen as soon as I get more time off and then my room. Spending lots of money but you're right, takes my mind off food and anyway, it's not my money I'm spending, it's my aunties because its her house haha.

Glad you're feeling better again! You're usually so positive I was like, "what's going on?!" when I saw your diary yesterday.

Thats the way I'm seeing it, seeing myself lose a couple of stones from the last time I weigh is much better than a couple of pounds. I'm all about the numbers and feel bad when its not what I want to see so at least this way I'll be in for a good surprise, I'm guaranteed to see at least 1 stone gone all at once! 83 days yep, you would try it, even if you go 2 or 3 weeks without weighing you'll still see a bigger number xx

Sounds lush! I saw some pictures and it does look really nice, and your puppy is sooooo cute!! I'm planning on getting a pug, the pug fund is set up, just not much funds in there at the min haha.

I'm glad you're giving it a go! No more getting disheartened by amazing losses! We'll just have to go off how we actually look rather than the numbers which I think is a better motivator anyway. I'm going to enjoy a creme egg when I'm done, only one, but I'll be switching to ww so can count it in as a syn. It's a planned treat, I'm accounting for it therefore its part of my diet. I found this quote to prove it haha...

"There is NOT ONE single food that you can eat while you’re off track that you can’t also eat when you’re on track. When you’re working on healthy eating, it’s true that you probably can’t eat as much of it as you want, but certainly any food can be worked into your diet in reasonable portions. This weekend, work on eating your favorite food in a reasonable way."

Obviously doesn't apply when we're on such a strict diet, but when we're going solo it definitely does! Something to look forward to!

Why don't you take packs with you and stick as much as you are able to. Loads of people go on holiday and stay on the diet. It you do break it then low carbing is definitely the way to go xx

Sooooooo... Today I decided to have 2 packs in work today rather than my usual 3 simply because I want to have a hot choc shake before bed. Worst thing I could have done. 3 and a half hours before my shift ended, both packs gone, one of my colleagues bought FIVE Dominoes pizzas, pretty much one in every flavour, for the whole office. Then there was mini rolls going round on top of that. I was the ONLY person in the office not to have any. So bloody chuffed. I'm in the diet zone and even a worst case scenario a la today can side track me.

Mac and cheese now, the fact I've been waiting so long for it is gonna make it take even better than usual haha.

Well done! I had two packs thismorning & forgot packs for work! Managed to stay on it and rammed my face with swede chips & cottage cheese tonight!

You must really be in the zone to avoid dominoes! X brilliant! X

Thanks!! I am diet smug haha. I had a laugh with people in the office about it though because they all know I'm doing this diet. I only started working there 3 weeks ago but didn't really care about what people thought and surprisingly... No one even does haha xx

 

[katycan]

V low fat- yup! Makes a fab change!

Wow you are in the zone girl!!! Dominos......drool!!!

Funny how once you've set your mind to it you can just keep going no problem

Woo!!

 

[MissAmyMarie]

Had my mac and cheese and tasted better than any pizza, that's what I'm telling myself anyway. I'm gonna make my next order on Thursday and considering being more experimental with my flavours. At the minute I'm only having strawberry and chocolate shakes and the mac and cheese. Out of all the flavours I only like 3! Haha.

Does anyone else have 3 shakes a day? Do all the packs have the same nutritional value? Because I don't want to be doing myself over but this is the easiest way for me to do it because of work etc.

I saved a shake to have hot in my hot chocolate mug later but I want an early night and I'm absolutely stuffed. I've just had my pack with 1 pint of water, 2 small glasses of Dr Pepper Zero and a cup of tea. The thought of drinking any more makes me feel ill!

Woo!!

That's what I keep telling myself!! Once I was over the initial shock of the pizza entering the building, the smell filling the room and every single person jumping to get some I actually felt fine. I felt much better having left it than I would have done feeling guilty about eating it. A minutes worth of pleasure isn't worth a lifetime of guilt haha.

Im hoping I stay this way, it is still only day 6, I'm hoping the elusive wobble doesn't come!

I found when I did six Weeks before Christmas it just got easier and easier. The more I did the more I didn't want to ruin my hard work. Then Christmas came...!
