So here i go....

Day 1 on my weightloss journey and weighing in at a staggering 16st 10lbs on my dodgy scales.
I was 15st 3 not too long ago but busy lifestyle and playing hard resulted in me feeling even fatter...
No wonder, i've whacked on another stone and 7lbs in a few months!!
Doesn't help that intead of cutting down on carbs before this diet, i had a large tikka baguette and a Harvester meal yesterday!

But hey, thats why i'm here, right?
And boy am i determined.

I have started my day at 11:50am with a Banana Shake.

First thoughts; Yummy, like Angel Delight which i LOVE
Second thought; It soon wears thin and there's a dodgy after taste.

I also struggle to drink it all in 10 mins (like the pack advises) but maybe its better that way!

Regardless, i've eaten worse things on diets so i'm staying positive.

Biggest incentive to slim down; Marrying my gorgeous hunk of a man next May and quite rightly, i want to feel elegant, beautiful and confidant on our big day.
Not to mention whatever the girls have planned for my Hen Do, and for our beautiful Honeymoon in Marrakesh, Morocco 3 days after the wedding.

I'm a tall-ish lass, so at 5ft 8" i carry weight better than most..... but not that much better!

No excuses now, there's no reason to be nearly 17 stone (arrrrghhh!!) and a size 18, when i could quite easily (?) be 12 stone and a nice size 12.

I have already chosen and paid deposit for my stunning wedding dress, and it will be arriving early march. Depending on how this diet pans out, i may be getting the seamstress to be taking in an awful lot of fabric! I just hope i don't completely change my style and hate the dress if i become alot smaller.
Oh well, only time will tell, and i only have 4 months until my first fitting... i could well be 12-13st by then. Eeeeekk!

Right, lets get Day 1 well and truly underway...... xxx

Current weight: 16st 10lbs (234lbs)
Goal weight: 12st (168lbs)
Need to lose: 4st 10lbs (66lbs)

Day One done......

Mixed feelings.

Overall I am thinking how the hell will I survive on these packs for 6 months?!
But I am so motivated, failing is not an option.
Just to recap, today I had;
*Banana Shake
*Cafe Late Shake
*Spaghetti Bolognese
*1/2 Dark choc truffa bar
*1/2 lemon bar

And I've consumed 5 pints of water and a glass of Dr Pepper Zero.
I also had mushrooms, broccoli and courgettes with my spag bol.

Have to say, I hated the Bolognese. Far too spicy and not a nice taste generally. Thinking of ways to make it nicer as I have another 7 or 8 packs!
But generally no bad hunger pangs, weakness or headaches today.
Roll on day 2!

Day 2 Uuuggghhhhh today has been a struggle Was fine this morning.... Tried a Strawberry Shake for brekkie at gone 11am. It was nice! although I'm not a fan of the 'bits' but then I've always been funny with food texture. Then around 3 I had a muesli bar. I think it would've been nicer with a hot drink but I forgot to buy skimmed milk, and I'm trying not to have it til I get into ketosis. I found the bar ok, but quite sickly. I chomped on a stick of celery an hour before dinner. For dinner at 6pm I had Cheese Pasta with roast veggies (courgettes, mushrooms) and steamed broccoli. Again, the first couple of mouthfuls were ok, then it became a struggle and quite strong and sickly The small glass of Dr Pepper to wash it down was heaven sent! And I'm saving my Choc Shake for before bed later So all in all I'm feeling a bit low, I've questioned why I can't just eat healthily instead of restricting myself to these things I'm not really enjoying I guess that's the carb and sugar withdrawal. Stomach very rumbly today. I've had my 2 days off so I'm back to work tomoro, so that may take my mind off it a bit more. Dreading the weekend!!!!
