Well done on your weight loss so far, great start. I love the shakes, strawberry, Chocolate and vanilla. I do have the vegetable soup but have to put a little salt /peper in to take the powder taste away. I think it smells worse than it tastes lol x
Forgot to mention the water, hmm it is a struggle but trying to space it out between my packs which is making it easier. x

Thanks TBSX... well done on ur mid week WI! its a fab motivator seeing fantastic results so quick. i do struggle with water..... i just cant stand the taste of it..... but i can stomach it more with the hint of sunshine orange.. what day is ur 1st WI

Day 16 feeling a little deprived and sorry for myself i suppose..... i really am missing the simple things...... and i have a headache.....
im trying my best to neck the water back and even bought some fruits of the forest which i find revolting... lol so had 2 coffees 2 lots of 500ml bottles of water today (i know its not enough) so i will down a bottle as soon as i finish this post, so at least iv had 1.5 litres plus coffee and shakes. hope ur all doing well..... any motivation welcome!!!

Hi Gembritney
Sounds like you are doing really well.
Before I started LL I didn't drink much water.
I found what worked for me was to remember the water wheel picture, keep it topped up little and often. It soon becomes a habit. I always take a glass of water to bed. When I get up in the morning I top it up and have a glass before my shower and first cup of coffee. Starting early seems to give more time during the day to spread out the water drinking -and peeing!!
If you can up the water I'm sure the headache will go. Sip it little and often rather than trying to gulp a bottle at a time.
You can drink hot water too, a bit weird at first, but okay in cold weather.
Stick with it Gem.

Hi, my first WI is tomorrow, nervously excited. Today has been a bad day though only becuase I havent had time to drink much water, hoping this doesnt affect my loss. Hope you feel much better soon! x

Hi Gem,

I'm walking from the train to my work in town. So that's around 25 mins every morning. When I'm not working at night I also walk back to the station. At the weekends I do body pump and body attack. Not sure if they're helping with my loses but they make me feel good. Total endorphin rush.

 

[Gembritney]

well done gingette.... i know what u mean about the endorphins! xx
