I got my SW pack through the post on Friday, which though I know it’s naughty I ordered on eBay as I can’t get to meetings. The boyfriend and I had a lovely weekend, eating McDonald’s AND a Chinese takeaway (oh dear) and decided to start afresh on Monday (today!) now that we know what we’re doing, thanks to the books. So, here we go!
Breakfast: 28g Bran Flakes (hex b) with...

Snacks: mullerlight, 2 cupcakes
Hmm, not a great day. Sometimes I get in a weird mood where I don’t want to eat until I’m forced to, which happened today. I feel very sad and very strange, and the no food thing probably hasn’t helped with this. Sigh. Ill be better tomorrow :)
I weighed myself today, which I probably shouldn’t have done - I think i’d like my weigh in day to be a Friday.
Anyway, i’ve lost 2lb, woo! I am now 13st 8 :)

Hello!
I haven’t followed a diet for such a long time thanks to the stress of moving 200 miles away from home for university. As a result of too much snacking during studying, of having to cook for myself all the time, of too much alcohol and takeaways during socialising with new friends, I put on a whopping 2 stone in just 4 months!
I am only just starting to notice that my clothes are a bit...

Hello!
I had a break from Slimfast for a while, during which I had a lot of fun with my boyfriend, eating out, eating all sorts of crap and generally not caring about the calorie content of anything. It was liberating, in a way, and a lot of fun, but I’m ready again to lose some more weight!
All together, I put on 2lb through not caring about what I was eating, I was expecting to be back...

3 cans of Diet Pepsi...

I’ve had a crappy few days, and I haven’t followed the plan at all. On Saturday I went to a BBQ - so I had a lot of food, snacks and alcohol, and then on Sunday I was so hungover I just wanted to eat everything in sight. And I’ve put on 2lb. Oops.
Anyway, back on track today:
Breakfast: Vanilla shake Lunch: Vanilla shake Snack: Strawberry porridge Dinner: Pasta and Dolmio...

5th weigh in today, and i’ve lost 3lb this week, bringing my total loss to 10lb, and my weight to 11st 10!!!!! You can tell by those exclamation marks that I am SO HAPPY! I’ve never been this weight before, and I’m astonished that it’s been this easy. Well, relatively easy compared to every diet I’ve tried and failed on in the past.
Today might be a bit difficult,...
15/6/10
Got my three days off work again starting from today, so not eating so much and keeping myself busy will be hard. Right now I am really craving some Nutella on toast. I’ve never had Nutella on toast, but I just saw an advert where some kids eat it, and now I want it. Pfft, stupid advertising.
Anyway:
Breakfast: vanilla shake Lunch: Vanilla shake Snack: Strawberry porridge (180 cals)...
14/6/10
I’m still suffering terribly from cramps and headaches and other general hormonal pain, the diet’s gone out the window until I feel better, which should be tomorrow. Hopefully…

13/6/10
Ugh, TOTM started today and I have been in AGONY. I decided to skip SF for today because I was shaking with hunger by the time I had my lunch break, this always happens on the first day of my period, along with everything else aching. So today I had:
Breakfast: Vanilla shake Lunch: A southern fried chicken wrap from Boots Dinner: Sunday dinner - broccoli, cauliflower, roast potatoes, sausages,...
12/6/10
I don’t think I can plan out my days in advanced, sometimes I just need to eat when I’m at work, sometimes I don’t, and I can’t plan because of that.
Breakfast: vanilla shake Snack: a small plum Lunch: Prawn cocktail salad and mini cheddars (not sure of the cals but I wrote them down when I was eating and it came to 570 cals for the both of them) Dinner: vanilla shake...
12/6/10
I walked my 2 miles this morning in 40 minutes, woo! Usually it takes me around 55 minutes to an hour. The reason that I do it very slowly is that my face turns the brightest pink ever whenever I do even a little bit of exercise, but I figured that if I walk quicker, ill burn more calories, and yes ill turn almost scarlet doing it, but then ill have longer to recover and do my make up and all...
11/6/10
Hmm, I just realised something which is very wrong - my Tumblr dashboard is full of thinspo. I’m not sure how this happened. Today I tried to go without lunch, and dinner, no shakes, nothing - but I ended up snacking a lot, because I was so goddamn hungry. I won’t lie - the blogs I follow on here, primarily written by people who have eating disorders - ‘inspired’ me to do...
Exercise
I have a sort of exercise routine now, it means I have to get up really early when I’m working early, but it’s worth it because of the way it makes me feel.
First of all, I go on the Wii Fit:
I do 15 minutes of yoga, followed by 20 minutes of free step, then 30 minutes of jogging - just over an hour. When I step and jog, I watch Cook Yourself Thin on TV, or I watch Friends - it takes...
11/6/10
Breakfast: Shake Lunch: Shake No milk in the house, disaster! I had two WW victoria sponges instead. Isn’t really a good swap but the same amount of cals, more or less. Dinner: Shake Snacks: Small bowl of popcorn, strawberries and cream
I feel dreadful this morning - really lethargic and tired, and my ankles hurt like hell - I think it was all the walking I did yesterday, I’m not...
10/6/10
Breakfast/lunch: Shake Dinner: Shake
Exercise: An hour of Wii Fit, and walking 2 miles Water: 3 litres
Today is going to be a very tough day, I can tell. It is kind of through choice, because I want to make up for yesterday, but also because of my rubbish work hours today. I’ll be working until almost 10pm, and so I’ll have a shake before I leave for work, around 11ish, and then...
9/6/10
Breakfast: shake Lunch: southern fried chicken wrap (400 cals) Dinner: about a quarter of a pizza (550 cals) Snacks: onion rings (the crisps), fudge and popcorn.
Oops. I had a disastrous day today, eating-wise. My mum and I had a movie day, thanks to a tmobile offer where you get 2 films and 3 bags of snacks for £5. So today was most definitely an off day. Up In The Air was a great film, though! ...
I’m in the 11s! Only 11st 13, but hey, its a start :D

I regret the dessert, but what can...

Hmm, I haven’t eaten well at all over this weekend. I haven’t followed the plan, haven’t even stuck to my calorie limits or anything. And you know what? I feel ok. It felt good to do it, to not have to stress for a short while. I think it’s good to have some breaks sometimes, stops you from going crazy.
Weighed myself this morning and my weight hadn’t changed, so...

Breakfast: Vanilla shake Snack: Quavers (87 cals) Lunch: Garden salad, chopped sweetcorn, carrot and cucumber, and a fruit salad - 130 cals for the lot (going on what M&S say on their labels!)

I’ve only put on a pound! I’ve only put on a pound! I can’t even begin to list all the crap I ate over my holiday, but it included KFC, Pizza Hut, strawberries and ice cream crepes, lots of cheesecake and birthday cake…
I am very happy with that, I was expecting it to be 4 or 5 pounds!
Back on the plan today, then :)

Today is my 2nd SF weigh in, and altogether i’ve lost another pound, meaning my total weight loss in 2 weeks is 6lb! Woo! This includes my weekend of ridiculous excess and not sticking to the plan, so I’m happy with that. However if I’d stuck to it more, if I didn’t insist on celebrating my...

Breakfast: Vanilla shake Lunch: Vanilla shake Dinner: Pasta and chicken Snacks: Quavers (less than 100 cals), Angel Delight (87 cals), carrot sticks and hummus (62 cals)
Over the weekend, I didn’t stick to the plan at all. It was my birthday on Friday and obviously, celebrations were to be had. I didn’t really expect them to last (food-wise) all weekend, but they did, and so yesterday...
23/5/10
Weighed myself this morning to see what damage the weekend has done, and i’ve put on 2lb. It’s not a huge disaster, but not great. I only have 2 days left of the Slimfast diet before I leave for my boyfriend’s, so I’m not too bothered. I have always known that my boyfriend loves me for who I am, and if he knew that I was doing this, he’d probably go crazy. But...

Happy birthday to meee!
Breakfast: Vanilla shake Lunch: I went out for food today, at a pub, and I had a chicken burger with chips, not sure how many calories, I’m going to take a guess that it was around 800? I’m probably underestimating, but that seems about right. I hope! Dinner: Vanilla shake.
No snacks today, to make up for the lunch! But I did have a pint of lemonade...

Breakfast: Vanilla shake Snack: WW oaty cookies (100 calories) Lunch: Vanilla shake Snack: There’s probably going to be some birthday cake involved in here somewhere, so I’ll leave two of my snacks to have a slice of that instead.

19/5/10 - First official weigh in!
And i’ve lost… *drumroll* … 5lb!
I am really happy with that, and happier still with the fact that I am definitely starting to notice the loss. Some of my trousers feel looser, my legs look better and my stomach is starting to wobble less.
I can’t really believe that I’ve lost this much, when it was totm and I was expecting to lose hopefully about 3lb. I’ve...

2nd day of SlimFast today! Its gone well, but I am finding it very hard to resist snacking, especially as their snacks are so delicious. I stocked up on them at Boots after work and knowing they’re in my bag just waiting for me is torture! But I must control myself. And distract myself!
Breakfast: vanilla shake powder (this was absolutely LOVELY)
Lunch: banana ready made shake, 2...
