Day 9
Been ok on the diet! Actually been doing great!! I am doing VLCD for the first time because previously I never thought I could stick to a "restrictive" diet like this ever, afraid I would be too hungry to do it,or I wud give in after spending money and buying packs etc etc
But I am happy I did it , not having to take the decision of what to eat is actuallyy making it very simple. I always had a problem with other diets with deciding what to eat every single meal,then when I wasn't satisfied I wud get frustrated and break my diet (tat would be just one of my excuse of why I had to stop dieting ) . With exante the option of bar,soup,shakes and porridge and I feel it's much easier picking meals, sweet or savoury
Splitting the packs is one of best tips on here everrrrrrr, life saver as far am concerned I would have been unable to eat 3 meals and have such a large gap between each...now am just thrilled I have 6 mealssss!!!
Yes I am still impatient abt losing weight ,I want to see quicker results , am I not trying hard enough for bigger losses?! But this forum has been amazing! The dedication I read from peeps here just kicks my butt into perspective and shows me there will be times when it's slow loss,super slow but you r getting to goal, weight is going down , you are going in the right direction ! Love the peeps here who is keeping me going!! *hugsss*
Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Xxx

Couldn't agree more Naz. I am now on day 12 and weight loss has noticeably slowed, but I know this will work if I stick to it so I am carrying on. I know I have been 100% and if I only lose 1lb a week that will be nearly 4 st in a year (hopefully things will get moving before then - but you get my drift).
I am like you in that knowing that the packs are all I can have and they are pre-packed takes all the decision making out of the equation and is therefore easier for me. You're also right about the pack splitting - so much better and less like you're being deprived.
Keep up the good work. X

I fill 2 x 2l bottles of water up and aim to have one drunk by midday. I find that by drinking 2-3 glasses on wake up to get over that dehydrated feeling in the morning a real dent in the water level and normally aim to have a glass every hour - unless I feel hungry or thirsty before then. If I go out and about I decant water into my 1l water bottle and drink from that. I don't count the extra fluids I consume from tea or coffee or making up the packs - so I know that I am exceeding 4l. If you perceive that drinking water is not an option - then you will make it happen.
Well done on your first weeks loss - you are doing a cracking job
thank you!!
Water Not an option....I shd perceive it as that.....have to doo itt.And drinking 2glasses water on waking up will help with my daily weighing addiction as well

Hi naz, just read your diary. Your WI was fab for week 1....well done x
Your reasons for wanting too lose weight are great and similar to mine although I also have a wedding to prepare for (date not set...long story as it was postponed) my partner is thin (a bit too thin at the mo as been ill for a while but always been small) and I have noticed how I look next to him. His clothes would be too big for me when we met and now he can probably fit 2 of himself into mine! Not good :-( he has never made me feel unloved but I feel it myself.
I can see how people look at us and his family are horrid people (i can hear them saying he can do so much better) before they thought I was too good for him...it wouldn't be a problem but they make it soo obvious. Even told me to get off the pill if it makes me fat! I had no confidence but slowly getting it back
Any way enough about me good luck for WI 2 x

Awww Bridezilla - dont let them nasty comments grind you down - people are mindless and have no concept how they can hurt with their words - rise above it , lose it all then ask them "howdya like THEM apples!!!??!!!" ;-)
My ex mother in law said on my wedding day when I got out of the car to our evening wedding reception (within ear shot to me) to my ex hubby's aunt - "So see she's a big lass but she has a pretty face" I felt like ***** all night - I'll never give anyone "permission" to make me feel like that again - end of the day so we have a few pounds, we can lose it but they'll always be cruel and ugly inside BIG UP's to your wedding day you have done FAB so far, makes you feel better I could only wish to be your size hun xx

Yes bridezilla,you have hijacked my diary and I don't approve Com'on sweetheart,its no probsss!!
I was reading your post and thinking when I got engaged some of my friends said to me and my fiance look alike and I was like really !?!? *confused* because I thought my hubby looked great,he was tall 6ft 2in, thin and handsome *blush* and me was short (comparatively) and fat (I was about 2 and half stone less than I am now but still overweight).... I being stupid told this to one of my relative and her expression was like are they nutsssss, he is sooo good looking, ur not good enough for him and then she said "noooooo you dont look alike in anyway" and she is not the only one to comment in the lines of "she got lucky" So I totalllly get what both of you are saying. Even tho we been married five years nw, i still feel that way,even tho i know he loves me,I am like he could have done so much better ....really sad what others comments can do to you. I have tried to lose weight soo many times since but never succeeded. The last straw was when we went to a party and one of his relatives commented tat oh you could outshine anyone in this room and she totally ignoredd me,even tho others were commenting I looked good ...how could she ? in front of all those people,like a slap on my face. So I got to do it for me, so I feel a 10 times better about myself.
We got to do it guys!! Nobody should ever talk to us that way! We can do it and we r going the right way!!!
We Can WE Can
Sorry,its a long post...your post brought out some hidden resentments. But nw I feel a renewed enthusiasm

Let's do this!
Good afternoon Naz. Oh my goodness how can people be so nasty (((Flubster, Bridezilla, Naz))) I'm truly horrified.
You will all succeed with your diets, not for those nasty individuals, but for yourselves, But most importantly you can look at those people with pity knowing that no amount of dieting would lose them their nasty ugly hearts. Unbelievable. :hug99: xx

Day .... 13 ( lost count of days)
Exante has been great so far....I am sooo not hungry at times that I have to force myself to eat. Even tho i feel wt loss has slowed down, I knw I am still losing and I will get there. Suddenly I feel I will finally get to goal, after alllll these years of failed diets.... I feel finally my time has come! Well I couldnt have done it without the tremendous support from family and friends here. The forum keeps me on the straight and narrow cos I feel I am accountable to everyone here,who makes sure I am doing ok and supporting me when I am feeling low. And knowing that you guys knw exactly what I am going through makes all the support sooo much more genuine. Love you guyssssss!! And thanks a million!
We r gonna do it together! We will make it!! We r the success stories of tomorrow

Day 15
WI 4 lbs!! A stone in 2weeks
Even tho I knw that is an amazing wt loss , I want more, getting impatient. My wish is lose another stone before end of 1 month on exante. I don't knw if it's possible for me but am gonna damn well try.
Started woorkout today,20 mins and have a schedule put up for the next 4 weeks. Felt dizzy after workout but ok a little later. I been drinking 3L of water but I think I should up my intake to help with wt loss while working out.
Had a moment again today when I thought will I make it but the I thought of the expression on peoples faces when they see me and felt much stronger again
Ready for week 3 !! Xx
