Hello ladies! Went out with work last night and stuck on diet coke. Naughty citric acid I know but I couldn't face water all night. Tbh I doubt it'll effect my losses as it didn't when I was in ketosis on Atkins. They were all fab and I only got a few 'it's a shame you can't have a drink' comments, and then bought me soft drinks all night and told me how much healthier I look 
Wedding reception to go to tonight- I've already had a lot of stick from others going. It's not a sit down meal or anything so I thought it wouldn't be rude of me not to go and not eat. But I'm getting a hard time from friends saying I should be drinking as it's our friend's wedding day etc, and I should eat all day so I can drink... They don't seem to understand no. I won't be eating or drinking, I'm just disappointed in my 'friends' as they know how miserable I am when I'm fat.
So today I'm going to try and find something to wear... I have a few bits in my wardrobe but nothing that fits properly- all too big or small! I'm going to find something cheap at TKMaxx so I'm not upset when it's too big in a few weeks time
Have a lovely day folks- nearly the weekend woohoo!

Hi girls! Shoebs how's it going? Are you TS or gone onto S&S? Jess how are you enjoying S&S?
I popped along to the wedding reception last night thinking I'd sow my face then make a quick getaway... Well, I was there until 1. Had a fabulous time with old friends, we laughed and laughed all night and I was only on diet coke! I think they were worried that without booze I would be boring, I proved them wrong
Anyway, after all of that naughty diet coke (which I'm not convinced is actually naughty) I have terrible windy pops this morning! TMI but I do like to share.
Just tucking into first meal of the day, spicy spaghetti, yummy!

Ahhh shoebs that is just bad manners! How rude of them. Everybody gets knows basic manners and how to say sorry and thank you, it's a shame that some people choose not to use them!
hopefully hubby will have a word with them and they will apologise. But if they don't, it's not up to you to look for an apology! That's their job. Family eh? Shame you can't choose them...

I can't believe it's taken me this long to catch up on your diary. I've just read it from the start and it was so weird reading about someone's VLCD journey from the start right through to week 5!!! You've really done fab. I was also really interested to see how you're aam week went as i'm meant to be starting mine a week on Tues and was still umming and ahhing about it, but after reading your opinions think I may well do it.
So are you now full s&sing? I've dabbled in but still have just over a week off Exante shakes left, once they're finished think I will move onto S&S.
Well congrats on your journey so far and sorry it's taken me sooo long to get around to reading about it. I'll keep up to date now.

Flutterbye, Jacqueline, Liz, thanks for stopping by! Always nice to have that little bit extra support.
Liz, thanks for reading! I've not read it from start to finish yet, maybe I'll have to have a look... I'm afraid in some part it's more of a 'I hate boys' diary rather than a food diary. I'm fully on S&S now, after my trial packs I didn't want to go back to Exante. I enjoy the hot meals and the bars and don't find that they make me crave other foods. I am really motivated to do this though and living alone, it's pretty easy to stick to plan. I admire people who have partners and children to feed as it must be really difficult.
I didn't know if I was going to do AAM week until a few days before. In the end I felt that there was a reason for it, and having not consulted with my doctor about doing a VLCD, I did it for health reasons. I was prepared to have a STS weigh in or even put some on, but lost so I was pleased. The meals themselves, generally a salad with chicken/ turkey/ ham or a stir fry were quite nice, although to be honest I could have give or taken them. My tummy must have been used to only the packets as I would feel really full, sometimes uncomfortably. Near the end of the week I started getting hungry- don't know whether I came out of ketosis or if my body was just expecting the new meal. So I was glad when the week was over, but also glad that I did it.
This week my skin is really clear, hair is shiny. I'm sure it's a result of AAM. I don't miss the meals. I don't think I'll get much of a loss this week, if anything, but again I think this will be a delay from the AAM week and hopefully I'll have a good loss the week after.
Anyway, enough of my nattering, weigh day for me is Wednesday so we shall see the effects of all my diet coke/ ribena plus drinking this week!

Hi dolli welcome to Exante, I think most people enjoy it better than CD and LL. I've moved to slim and save now but my diary is staying put! Stick with Exante and yo will reap the benefits!
Shoebs, treat tomorrow as a fresh start and set a new goal date! The communion was the big day, what's the next big occasion? It's cold over the water here too, I've just stuck the heating on and put my pyjamas on the radiator Warming up with a cuppa too! I don't think I'll have a big loss this week, I think it's the lag from my add a meal week but I'm going to continue drinking the ribena as it helps me to drink more. My freezer was the best investment I ever made, along with my slow cooker. They are a killer combo- I would stick a casserole or curry on before work on low, then when I got home the house smelt of delicious food. I'd chuck a baking potato in the microwave then dinner would be ready, and the remainder went in the freezer for another few days dinner! Love it. Anyway, nighty night, here's to a TS Sunday

Shoebs that damage isn't bad at all, that'll go quickly and you'll be looking super trim for your time off! Especially with all the running around you do with the kids. Look into a slow cooker, there's some good books around too with slow cooker recipes in and loads on the Internet. You can do loads of stuff in it, even some joints of meat if you're going out for the day, chilli, that kind of thing. All you have to do when you get home is boil rice, cook potatoes etc. Make sure you get a nice big one though! Have a good Sunday, cleaning for me and a bit of time with friends, a long dog walk... Perfect Sunday

Ah Jess we'll be sorry to see you leave the good ship Exante/ S&S! But I'm am well jel that you'll be eating real actual food... Bacon and eggs with mayo for you tomorrow! I'll think of you whilst I'm eating my scrumptious spaghetti for breakfast
I'm quite enjoying the S&S meals. I only got hot meals and bars, no shakes or porridge as I don't like either. The praline bars are just like milky ways! I love them. Today I had spicy spaghetti for breakfast, chilli with mashed swede for lunch, a praline bar and just had macaroni cheese
Enjoy the time by yourself, albeit with a poorly little one...x
