Thread: May 2012 Wedding

Happy new you! Well done fantastic first week well done keep it up girl. Xx

Congrats

Well done, that's a great loss x

Yay fabulous loss here's to week 2 x

Fab first week, well done on 11lbs

My 2 year old is refusing to go to bed (she's usually down by 8!). I'm desperate for my shake and I am trying to stay calm. Usually I'd eat an entire pack of biscuits when the kids are driving me nuts.
Just writing on the forum is helping me to stay calm but I can here her walking around in her room. Today is the first time I've really been tempted to eat food but it wasn't too difficult to resist. I'm thinking of getting some before photos printed and sticking them on the 'treats' cupboard and fridge.

Before photos are a treat motivator just concentrate on the losses and you'll get through x good luck x

2 days into my second week and I'm still 100%. Work was fine today. I got stuck right back in, had half a bar at 2pm and the other half when the kids ate at 4pm.

I'm going to pick up my notice of marriage tomorrow to take to the registrars and then on Friday I'm meeting up with my OH at a potential wedding meal venue for lunch. My OH now wants to have an evening do but I'm not that keen. I'd rather spend the limited budget that we have on getting the best restaurant that we can afford to share with our nearest and dearest.

I'm thinking of starting an exercise class - Abs Blast. It's held at lunchtime at work. I may also do some walking/gentle jogging but I'm not sure how my body will cope on such a low calorie intake.

Sneaked a peek at the scales this morning and I've lost my first stone.
I can't believe it's only taken 8 days.

I'm feeling pretty comfortable with the plan now and am in a nice little routine. I usually get up at 6am drink a litre or so of water and make up my shake which I drink on the weigh to work at 8.30/9am. I get hunger pangs at midday but I'm able to hold on until 2pm when I have half a bar. I sit down with the kids for dinner at 4pm when I have the other half of the bar and then have my soup at 8pm when the kids have gone to bed. I'm trying to up my water and think I've managed between 4 and 5 litres today. I sometimes also have a glass of Coke Zero or a coffee just to keep me going until the kids go to bed!

I did 10 mins on my step today. Nothing too strenuous but with the weather as it is, popping out for a walk would be pretty miserable. I wish I had gym membership but I'm trying to save for the wedding and holiday. I weighing up whether to join the work scheme - £19 per month including pool, classes and gym. I don't want to waste money if I'm not going to use it but if it gets me closer to my goal quicker then it would be a definite incentive.

I am so tired, work has got stressful already and I just can't get my head in the right place to get enthusiastic about it. Not much fun to be in local government at the moment but I suppose that if there's not enough money then something's got to give, I'm just hoping it's not me!

Well done thats fantastic!! You have a great routine and your water intake is fab...thats where I struggle but trying my best!

Keep going x

Thanks Shelly. Our tap water actually tastes really nice so it's not too difficult!

Mine tastes awful unless I let it run for 5 mins first! so get most of my water at work (water cooler) haha!

Not too bad today on 2 litres already x

It wasn't until I was driving home to pick up my son from school that I realised I'd forgotten to eat my bar. I munched along with my kids at 4pm and thought that this evening would be a breeze but my OH is now cooking chicken, chips and onion rings. It wouldn't usually bother me as I have more of a sweet tooth but the smell is driving me nuts.

I'm trying to write a report for work but I've given up to make my soup. It's amazing the power food has over us. Following exante is a godsend for me as it takes away my options. I failed other diets because sooner or later I wouldn't have planned a meal and would end up grabbing the nearest and usually fattiest/sugariest food available.

Right, tomato & basil here I come!

Wow fab loss hun, hope you enjoyed your tomato and basil, it was the worst one I thought
How can you manage so much water, even if it tastes good I can't do more than 3L xx
