Day 2 done and dusted

Hi .. I Started Tuesday 22nd July! ! Want to lose about 4 1/2 stone! Be very happy with 4 stone but would love to have a few lbs to play around with! Plan onDrinking about 3lts water every day plus tea/coffee (I'm a coffee addict) and the shakes! Any tips and advice be great! Did lipo over 7 years ago n had forgotten how manky they taste! All came back to me very quick tho! Need all ur support and success stories to get me thru!

On day 4 now! Have the urge to jump on my scales every morning.. But am going to go by chemist scales only!! Need some motivation please.. No prob with water and shakes but it's the boredom I can't handle!

Just take one day at a time. I started a few weeks ago, lasted about a week and a half and have re-started today. A big tip for me is DONT CHEAT!! I cheated with a small piece of cheese and only lost 4 pounds in my first week which was too disheartening for me. If I want 3 to 4 pound weight loss Id start a "normal" diet! But hopefully if I keep on the straight and narrow Ill see a good result this time.
Try and vary things, add peppermint tea to the choc shake, make mousses instead of shakes and generally experiment, I put some banilla shake in my black coffee today and although not great it tastes almost like a proper coffee with milk!
I want to lose about 2.5 stone, tried Atkins induction but it wasn't coming off. I think I might have an intolerance to dairy hence the cheese craving the other week. SO I think the cream and cheese on Atkins was stalling my weight loss.
Anyway good luck

Thanks million.. Day 5 now and if I'm honest it's the thought of my first weigh in on tue that is keeping me going! Hope I start to get into the illusive "KETOSIS" state soon! Haven't had dreadful headaches, my husband and work colleagues might say I've been hormonal but I don't feel any different! Ok my mouth tastes manky n I have bottles mouth wash all over the house and in work! Long road n I'm taking it day by day! I so enjoyed putting up 4stone so I suppose it's karma that losing it will be a struggle!
Good luck to u too!
