Drinks are just water.

Day 6

I shall weigh in on monday with the results of my first week eating and so far i have stuck 100% and the scales are dropping and my coat yesterday zipped up was no longer tight but lose. Bonus!!

Food today

Breakfast
Blueberry pancakes - made with 25 blueberries and 2 eggs and a tiny bit of coconut oil

Dinner
Salmon cooked in lime juice olive oil garlic paprika
Served with broccoi and asparagus

Tea
Turkey breast with spices
Served with salad

Drinks

Lots of water

I love my blueberry pancakes sometimes I have banana pancakes too yum!!

The scales are dropping good so far I started 1st jan 13.7. Did 10 days on a vlcd and couldn't do anymore and I'd got down to 12.11. But when you eat you gain 4-7lbs back. So I went back up into the 13s again. But sneaky peaks and I'm back down into the 12s. Target has always been get to 10 stone again but I've tried for 8 years and never got there so I'm aiming for 10.7 as my size 8-10 clothes will fit. But if my body decides to drop to 10 then bonus

Well I'm stuffed I enjoyed the turkey, salad and avacado for my evening meal that will keep me going until tomorrow.

You must feel great being at your target and controlling it too

I'm really pleased and shocked at the scales how they are dropping so quickly that's 1 stone I've lost this year so far pretty pleased with myself and the results. Onwards to week 2 lets see some more pounds drop off.

Does anyone know what the usual second week weight loss is ?

It's different for everyone.I lost nothing the first month then I only lost a couple of lbs each month.So you have done well to loss so much on your first week.

ah ok well as long as my health improves im sure the weight will even its self out. ive not had any problem with my stomach since i started and i would suffer from really bad belly aches and the most awful wind for 7 hours so bad usually if i had eaten anything with gluten. since last monday ive felt absolutely fine, my periods not even caused me any bother either. main thing apart from wanting to get to target is i would like my thyroid to maybe heal or at worst stay the same and no get any worse.

im going to leave it 6 months and then have another blood test to check my thyroid medication and would be lovely to have my dose lowered.

the scales have dropped lots this week i got on them one day and i had dropped another 2lbs so thought ill not get on them tomorrow then 2 days later they are down another 2lbs i just stood there a bit shocked as ive never been able to lose weight when i eat food.
i gained weight doing slimming world i had to give it up as i was getting fatter by sticking 100 percent to their plan. it was rapid weight gain too which isnt very good to feel your legs and stomach swelling everytimet you eat.

Got to say i think this is definately my life long eating plan loving the food

day 9

well im feeling very good even though im on my period no pains in my stomach or nothing im feeling great.
this morning i decided to try on my next size 12 jeans that i havent been able to fit into since around october. last week i couldnt get them up past top of my legs let along my bum and stomach and today omg im wearing them. they are snug but not to the point everything hangs over the top. rather pleased with myself for that achievement as i have been walking around in leggings and black trousers since my jeans wouldnt fit.

i got on the scales today wasnt expecting any loss as i only weighed in yesterday but again the scales are still moving in the downward direction.

I am finding I don't eat many calories when I'm tracking them but I'm stuffed up all the time. I try to keep carbs down to.

Lobster and kangaroo, very exotic! Enjoy!

I've had the lobster in the freezer for what seems llke forever but I do love it.

As for the kangaroo the butchers in town sells it all crocodile bison alsorts so I decided to buy one a week and try it. So today it's the roo.

Never tried it before so shall be interesting .

Plus it's all wild and paleo I plus they aren't grain fed as they are wild so I guess it's better for me.

slight change of plan didnt have the lobster as it had gone past its sell by date opps, so i had turkey in coconut oil and salad and avacado

it was still yummy and im looking forward to roo tonight

karate has been cancelled and moved to tomorrow so i shall do the kettle bells dvd

Day 13


Well everything is going along smoothly and weigh in day is Monday.

My next target is so get into the 11 stones bracket so shall be at the gym and karate lots to work this body into some sort of shape.

I'm off out on the 2nd clubbing so that will be a night of drinking water but at least I can dance the night away.

Hey, found your new diary!

<stalking>

Glad to hear it's going so well, really pleased I switched from VLCD to this, it's so much more fun and I feel good about meals now and not deprived!

Hope you get another good loss this week.

I can't work out how much we are meant to lose each week, some say 1-2lbs a month, others are nothing and then in the Daily Mail they had a guy that lost 8stones in 5 months! I guess time will tell!

Will be watching with interest how you do. How long have you been going Karate? I used to do Shotokan Karate years ago, got to brown belt lol.. would love to do it again but not fit enough yet.

My boys used to do shotokan karate too


I've been going 3 weeks and love it as they use some kick boxing stuff too.

Weight loss can be slow at times but it does come off so better to assess losses per month.

I'm not expecting any loss this week as I've lost 1 stone during this month so far
M

Not posted for a while as I had a blip but the occasions are out of the way.

Plus still having bf trouble which kicked off again at the weekend this I went out and drank some alcohol and danced.

Anyway Monday back on plan not too much damage. I'm out this weekend to my friends 30th and I'm driving so just water for me. Would like a first week gush but what ever I lose is a bonus.

Breakfast


Creamy scrambled eggs with chopped up spring onions and dill served with smoked salmon

Lunch

Salmon fillets cooked in lemon juice olice oil and paprika. rocket mushrooms cooked in butter. Celery

Tea

I'm thinking about having an omlette

Well i think stress is my middle name more bf stress today :-(

But im sticking to the plan and eating loads at the moment i have a thing for fish so been buyung loads of them from asda fresh counter as they reduce them on a night.

Im keeping up my activity and attending karate 2 times a week will make it 3 times soon as i really enjoy it

Im not going to weigh myself as it puts me off when i dont lose

How you getting on?? X
