Thread: May 2012 Wedding

Congrats on your start hon you're doing great! I used some cheap apetite suppressants from Tesco the first 2 days to avoid the hunger pangs and haven't needed them since. May come in handy if you feel the need for any x

Good luck for you weightloss goals x

There's no car, flowers or evening buffet. My dress is budgeted to £150, we're going for a lovely meal afterwards and we'll meet friends for a drink in the evening. I'll hire a photographer for the hour that we're at the registry office and just get a CD of the photos to print at our will.

Thats a great loss for 3 days, well done. OH and I have been together for nearly 12 years, no kids yet, but have been engaged for years! We booked for this september but postponed as he got laid off. Still not found anything. We have booked a destination wedding abroad and it was half paid for but lost some when we moved it. With a run of bad luck since not paid any off it. Hopefully 2012 will be better! If not i'll at least be slimmer x

Day 5 and I'm really hungry.

Had my chocolate shake at 9.30. Plan to have my bar at 3 and soup at 7. I have a tendency to snack in the evening so I figured the later I eat the less likely I'm going to cave into temptation.

I am so hungry today and woke with a headache which dragged on until about 11. I hope this feeling subsides. Judging by other posters the hunger pangs should disappear after the first week. Please!

I bought some coke zero yesterday and a bottle of sparkling water. It's nice to have something other than plain old dwr.

Hope everyone else is doing okay today.

Well done on doing so well. Today is day one for me and I really hope I have your will power, Im sure I will be ok for a while but I tend to talk myself into things. Im also in the dreaded 17 stone bracket SIGH x

Hey Lisa

Good luck. I felt rotten for a couple of days but then it's just cravings and a bit of hunger to deal with, and then you'll be in the 16's, 15's, 14's,....10's.
It just feel amazing imagining it
I suppose that's what we need to focus on to keep us going.

Shwmae Laura, I know I keep banging on about water but have you tried peppermint or green tea, they take the edge off your hunger too xx

Shwmae Ali. I do like peppermint tea and have 3/4 mugs a day. Drinking definitely takes the edge off it but I acnowledge that it's going to take a while to work out the difference between tummy and head hunger. It's still early days and I'm very focused, the danger will come a month from now when I start thinking 'Hmmm, just one chip won't hurt'.

Bore da Laura, I have bought The Motivated Mind, Raj Persaud off ebay so I hope it helps. They say it takes a few weeks to learn a new habit and get used to head hunger rather than tummy hunger, it's usually thirst!

I have decided today is D-Day! Been feeling rather sh1tty last few days, full, fat and bloated so I must get this xmas gain off and back on the diet proper. Sooner rather than later
Have a fab hunger-free day xx

Think I've made a bit of a boo boo. Hope it's not too much of a problem. I've taken 4 antacids today but didn't realise they contained sucrose. I bought some Sainsbury's diet coke and find it's giving me acid so I guess I'm back to water.

Otherwise day 6 is going really well. I didn't feel at all hungry this morning but did have some hunger pangs this afternoon which made me a bit irritable.

Happy New Year, Blwyddyn Newydd Dda Laura. How's the heartburn? Dr Pepper does the same to me. I wouldn't think the antacids would affect K? I take ranitidine 150mg twice a day, you can buy it over the counter. xx

Happy New Year Laura. I hope 2012 brings you the happiness you deserve x x

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda to all!!
My first week is up and I weigh tomorrow morning. Clothes are feeling looser already. Fabulous!

Can't wait to see what your first week WI is xx

Good luck Laura x

I'm down to 16 4 so I've lost 11lbs this week. Feel really excited and positive :-)

Taking kids out on their scooters this morning, which means mostly carrying my 2 year old's scooter but it's great just being out with them. Definitely going to miss their company when I go back to work tomorrow.

On the otherhand going back to work will give me more structure to my day and I won't be tempted so much to break the diet.
