Second Attempt - Bennet's Diary

Well, Well well....here I go again! I am in a much more settled place now, finished moving about and living with my recently widowed gran. We get along great. I feel desperate to loose weight, more than ever, feel like I only get one life and if I don't slim down now i would have wasted my life. I also feel I have been single for 3 years! had fun but want to settle down and meet someone and I also feel maybe ,my extra weight is stopping me going out. Like they say.....you gotta love yourself to be loved - so that's what I am working on now.

I started last Thursday so this is day 5. The journey so far has been trickier than last time! but I am determined to do it. I really find the support on here is excellent and helped a lot last time. Its simple when you take it out of context - if you do this - you will loose weight! so why do I find it tricky?

Wine probably! in the evenings.

feeling OK today but wishing I hadn't weighed myself on home scales! hhaa! weigh in Thursday!

Welcome back and good for you for giving it another go.

What I do at the weekend is get myself a great big wine glass and fill it with sparkling water. I know it doesn't taste the same but it's a treat and it's in a wine glass so I feel like I'm having a treat.

Good luck, looking forward to your weigh in results.

Thank you Ms R, I will def try that! sounds like a good plan!

Good luck to you too!!!

It's the first post I've made on here (although I did join a while ago), but I never posted during that first foray with Lipotrim, but this time I'm hoping to be around to offer support and be inspired by everyone else. I lost 1st 8lbs last time, but since, my weight has been up and down (perhaps a bit more up than down) but now I'm determined to reach my goal weight and stay there. Woke yesterday to start the diet and didn't :/ but today I woke up with the determination I needed. I phoned my local pharmacy and booked an appointment for weigh in and Lipotrim. So today is my first day and it's going really well. Any know how much water I should aim to drink? I've never been good at drinking lots of water but want to change this.

Yes well done for giving it another go. I drink around 4 litres a day plus fewcups of peppermint tea. I have sparkling water as a teat, especially at weekends, pour it into a wine glass and kid myself it's a pale chardonnay!!! Lol

Good luck.

Thank you for the welcome and good ideas to keep on track. I'm going to drink some more water right now! I think you're right Noitulove, being here on the forums and seeing how well everyone is doing will be just the motivator I need.

grrrr....hit rock bottom today, felt low and was lacking in motivation. But stayed strong!!! very pleased now that it has passed, hopefully will be easier from now on xxx

well done J9W! I find the forum helps a lot

thanks Noitulove!! i will take one the sept challenge!

Hey Bennet, well done for staying strong. It's day two for me and the smell of food and feeling a bit hungry has tempted me but I'm drinking water and weeing a lot lol. Can't wait to hear how your weigh in goes tomorrow. xx

Well, 1 week done!
lost 8 pounds so that's great but i know its mostly water weight so everything from now on will be horrible yellow fat disappearing!!!
