This Little Piggy Goes to Atkins

And soup and avocado as a last supper! Wow, I recall mine being pizza...
 
Thanks ML, I absolutely know I can do this because it's the maintenance I've always struggled with after a vlcd. Atkins is a fabulous woe and brill as maintenance, but I have stuck to vlcd's many times and it's an easy way for me to lose the bulk of this last two stone.

D, if truth be told I just couldn't not do it with you. It would have been different had I been losing well, or at goal. However, I'm so far off that and would have been so jealous if you'd have got your last bit of weight off and I hadn't. So it makes perfect sense to do it together, support each other as we did before, and get there together. It's also a time where I have no food related plans, which is always a good time to do it. We hadn't even made plans for our wedding anniversary this weekend, usually we go away. What will you take when we meet, 2 Tesco bars? Not too big an issue of course, I'm the woman who did a whole weekend in London on 2 bars!!
 
Oh fabulous news, Susie. It will be great to have you with us. How long are you planning to do on the vlcd?

I don't know hun tbh - as long as I can stand it? Roll up roll up, bets being taken now for how long Susie can cope without shovelling food or wine or both down her gullet...:D

ML is completely right about being careful on the long term maintenance issues, but it is sooooo long since I was not fat that I just need to do something now that shows short, quick wins (none of which is helped by the fact that I am completely missing the Patience gene) :D

But ultimately this is about you and Diem doing really well, and I am proud of you both for getting in there and deciding to go the VLCD route xxx

Thanks Susie, that's really kind. I sure we'll help you along the way xxx
 
Ok, so it's day one for me on the vlcd route. By the time I'm eating again it will be nearly Christmas and I'll be around a stone ish lighter.
I made my shake this morning, took it into the lounge with my water bottle and a bag of coffee granules for work, but unfortunately I tipped half my glass of milkshake into my handbag instead of the coffee bag - grrrrreat! So half a glass of shake later, I'm ready to start.....
 
Omg, omg, I think totm is moments away. If that's correct, it is one month to the day since last time and I don't think I've ever had two 4 Weeks cycles in my life. It's usually 4 Weeks, then 6 or 7 long, drawn out, arsey Weeks. That's big news in my world!
 
Good luck with the VLCDs, ladies! Kudos for being able to do it - I did Slimfast for about 5 minutes many years ago, and I couldn't manage that, even with one meal included every day! :eek: I certainly couldn't do it whilst having to prepare food for other people - that would be torture for me.

I shall be cheering you on, so have one of these for your first day ->:party0011: :D
 
Today I've had half a milkshake with my own 5g powder, a Tesco bar and later have an Exante shake. I've made a pizza quiche for Mr Him.
I'm not feeling hungry, but that quite possibly will change tomorrow. Having said that, I'm going straight from work to have my hair done so there won't be too much time to dwell on it if I am feeling hungry, thankfully.

I don't get wind, I just turn into a right cow :D

I become short tempered and angry with my long suffering husband, and very clumsy for about a week before (baby gate & milkshake for example)
