Hi guys!!!!

Well as the title says it's day one for me on TS!

I've done cambridge n lost 8 stone n finnished over a year ago I put on a stone quite gradually n made the decision to restart a vlcd

I have been planning to start for some months now n rather than being good and low carbing I have been ridiculous n eating loads n eating badly and gained another stone!

So just got back last night from a few days away visiting familly and am ready to start

I'm off work untill Monday so roughly enough time to get into ketosis although day 5 can often be my toughest n roughest!

Been busy today until around 3 pm and since then just resting up. First shake around 2 pm chocolate didn't like it just downed it lol second shake just now was bannana it was ok and around 1 litre of water down

Gonna have vanilla shake when little ones in bed gonna try it hot with some decaf coffee n get an early night!

Planning to be very selfish over these next 4 days n sleep when I wanna sleep n do as little as poss but keep busy indoors to get through

I always follow minimins n hope to get to know you all a little better

Thanks for reading xx
 
Well done on your 8 stone loss you know it works have you just got 1 stone to lose if you have that'll be gone in no time

Woohoo well done on the 8st loss! :D That extra 1 stone will be gone in no time ;) Stay positive and good luck xx
 
hiya hun , I am pretty sure I remember you from the CD board !! Good luck getting that little bit of weight off , it will be gone in no time :) exante is not as sweet as CD but I find the shakes much more filling and the soups and bars are LUSH :)
 
Two stone to go but anything more will be a bonus

Thanks for your kind words guys and hi determinator I remember you from the cd boards too

So where is everybody in their weight loss journey??

Good luck. I am sure you will do well. I think Exante is brilliant, I started in March this year, on the last lap, a bit slow now but it's great.

Day two for me still going strong no signs of breaking thank god! I will do it this time!! One shake down getting on with the water n coffee infront of the tv

Lazy day! :)

Tried vanilla shake hot with coffee n hated it this was last night btw it actually went down the sink! On a positive just had a vanilla shake (cold no coffee) n actually quite liked it!

ATM I'm using just over a weeks worth of shakes given to me so by Monday i'l be ordering the bumper pack.... Although I've heard some bad things re the soups lol but we shall see!!!!

Had a sneaky peak on the scales this morning all heading the right way :)
 
You seem very determined and you know what you're doing re. a vlcd so i'm sure the weight will be gone in no time. if you're unsure about the soups you can just order a bumber pack of shakes and bars/just shakes, i can't stand the soup so that's what i do, but i know others cant stand the shakes! It's such a lot of money to put into something you dont know if you'll like - they should do sample sachets! x
 
Tried a strawberry shake and all I can say is ..... Weird! What a strange taste! Anyways two shakes down m 1.5 litres of water down getting the odd spell of hunger but it soon goes once I fill up with liquid.

Thinking to go see a film tonight with OH as little one stays with nanny on Fridays only thing is I'd have to drive n don't know that I should as I'm getting the occasional dizzy spell n vagueness nothing out of the ordinary but just on my way into ketosis

Anyway we shall see! Mentally I'm wanting food but just keep reminding myself of new years eve outfits n all the skinny minnies likely to be coming out with us lol
 
the shakes are strange .. I was expecting something sweet like CD .. but you soon get used to them :) I have lost 8 stone and have 14lb to go ... I actually only have 7lb to my long term goal but I know I gain at least 7lb as soon as a carb passes my lips so going to allow for a little gain !!!
 
Yeah I gain a good 7 lb

You've done really well what's your height n target weight? I'm on my iPhone n the app don't show stats :)

I'm 5 foot 7 maximum weight for me should be 11 st 4 so that's the target is more like 10 st 7 but tbh dont feel bad from 12 st n below so we shall see I guess
 
Day 3 today been 100 % so far not struggling too much yet

Woke up with an awfull taste in my mouth and a head ache! I suffer with head aches anyway and I'm not aloud to take regular pain killers so hoping it goes soon or I may be in trouble!!

Anyway a coffee a shake m half litre water down already just off to pick up my little girl n my mum to take them food shopping n for lunch ...... Should be fun huh lol
 
This day 3 Is dragging and painfull the hungers catching up on me n I'm exhausted

Couldn't even take my lil one to the cinema today just no energy will try tomorra

Just need to get the first week under my belt Defo an early night for me tonight
 
Hang in there, you know it will pass :) xx

Well done shell. The first few days are so tough. But it will pass, the energy levels will pick up too, it's just your body getting used to a new way of functioning. It protests but gets used to it in time.

Just focus on the results. It will be so worth it, take care.

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I made it through day 3 n I'm on day 4 one shake down must get going with the water feeling quite light headed today but just gonna take it easy today n get through
 
Seriously just wanna eat! Just been to the cinema n had my bar while everybody had pick n mix n popcorn

Then went through drive through mcdonalds ordered for all including ice creams but none for me of course!!

All I can say is thank god I discovered the tesco ultra slim choc bars they are lush!
 
I'm actually on day 5 n back at work!! Yay me! When I'm busy it's ok so may well be in ketosis now i'l check in the morning!

Wearing a pair of trousers that fit me rather loosely a couple of months back n now they are like a second skin! They look ok but feel horrid I've worn them to work in purpose as a constant reminder incase I feel like breaking the diet!

It's lunch time now not going to tell collegues about the diet this time so no shake for me so gonna pop out n get a coffee.... It's only half hour lunch break so not too much time to kill

Hope Everyones having a successful day
 
Glad you're getting on well... i discovered the tesco bars a couple of weeks back and now i eat one a day, both flavours are so nice! Won't be re-ordering the exante ones, they're yuck in comparison! x
 
I was going to order the mixed bumper pack but think I may just order the shakes n stick to the tesco bars especially seeing as they are on offer lol

Feeling really hungry now but stuck out at a Kids Halloween party it's really not helping issues lol :)
