Thread: New start with Slimming world from Page 14 !!!!!

Ok folks about to have my last meal of the day!!!
I am officially for the first time hungry!!!

I think it is habit though as Friday night is takeaway night!!!!

Well along with Monday wednesday and saturday <cringe>

PLEASE send me some positive vibes!!!!!!

Here you go Anne...maybe try changing your routine so it doesn't feel like a Friday??? Brisk Walk? Seduce Hubby? Aerobics class??

Have a lovely eve xx

Thanks Lottie,
In the end I just sat it out with BB!

I just kept thinking.... It might taste good for a min but the after taste will not be good at all!!!!!

Anyway.... I'm off to bed now Day 4 COMPLETE!!!!!

Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are you feeling today Lottie?

Great, well done....thats how its meant to be done.

I thought it was a shame that Billi went, not that the other two did anything wrong, but because he caused more rows. And I like him more than ziggy.

My head feels better today thanks, but my colds coming out more, but I'm fine thanks.

Have a good weekend...whens your first weigh in, you'll be so happy that you stuck it out.

Hi Anne

Glad you managed to get through without cheating. Breaking habits is the hardest thing I have found.

Lottie's advice was great. Breaking routine will really help, I find a nice soak in a bubble bath, followed by lots of nice pampering products works really well. You can pass a couple of hours and make yourself look gorgeous at the same time.

Have a great weekend.

Day 5 !!

LOL doesn't time fly when you are having fun!!!

Seriously this week is flying past, I can believe I am almost at the end of my first week!

I actually like Ziggy,If I was few years younger... !!!!!!

Summer colds are the worst aren't they!!! You can't even have a hot toddy!! Hope you feel well soon Lottie!

Have a good weekend...whens your first weigh in, you'll be so happy that you stuck it out.
My first weigh in is Monday night at 5.30, I really can't wait to have the first week completed![/quote]

Thanks also WL8S, How are you doing today?

As saying above I can't wait till Monday for first weigh in! I have watched everyones postings this week and when a loss is being announced I have been so jumping up and down for them... because I know I am losing too and it will be my turn soon!

I jumped on the scales this morning, and bearing in my I was naked (better not think too hard about that) and it is morning where as my official weigh in is PM, the scales tell me I have lost 8lb.... If I lose that much on Monday I will be very pleased! Because this is not my first week dieting and already lost around 9lb on vlcd before starting here...

I was weighing up the cost of this diet and actually find that I am saving more money than spending out, a lot more!

for example, we were eating take out out at least 3 times a week.. and their are 6 of us!!! so shock horror we were spending about 90 pound just on takeout! I also am a bit of a shopoholic and used to go to town just to have a look around BUT of course whilst out, I would spend tooooo much.... And on stuff that really wasn't necessary! Because I have stayed in this week, i have spent so much less.

Also for the past 3-4 nights we are cooking with les convenience foods, so the whole family is eating better and it's cheaper that way too! 30 odd pound a week seems a small price to pay for all these changes!

Aah well..... I am feeling quite indulgent just now, my girls are away the weekend and my little boy is down stairs with my hubby, so I snuck downstairs, filled up my 1 litre bottle, picked up my laptop and am just languishing back in bed for an hour.... then goning to face the rain and take the little one to find the ducks at the park.... A couple of laps of the lake should help the weightloss cause a little too!

So little choice.... what sort of shake will it be!!!! Yesterday for tea, attempted a muffin with the butter scotch mix... What I actually got was a scrummy moist biscuit type cookie the size of a saucer.... My hubby said it smelt good but declined to comment on the taste when he nibbled! I think I am obviously appreciating what little food my body is allowed and my brain is convincing me it is yummy LOL

On Monday I will pick up some extra spicy tomato soups.. I really enjoyed it, but she gave me a variety and I only had one of these.. so Will ensure I get those .... also going to try the choc and choc mint... I declined these not being a choc lover, but everyone says they are good, so variety being the spice of life and all that means I should give them a go!

Anyway.... gonna have a quick read of some posts here then start the day!

Well as day 5 draws to a close my tummy is still rumbling like mad, but funnily enough, I am not hungry!
Other half has just secreted himself away to eat his late night cereal, and I am sipping fizzy water.

Can't belive I am nealry a week done!
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Day 6
Wow 6 days... I am still amazed at how easy this diet has been so far.... Don't get me wrong, there have been several tricky moments where I have had to have a real heart to heart with myself.... The personal sabbotarge system has reared it's ugly head a few times, and it's a case of being really honest with myself!

My daughters were talking about Christmas On Friday, which is only 25 weeks away I know I know, how dare I say the C word in July! BUT I really feel that this Christmas will be fantastic....I can lose my weight and get through the maintenence programme before then... I am really excited!

I will not just be doing christmas shopping, but will be shopping till I drop just for clothes! For so many years I have got to December and crash dieted in the vain hope of losing a pound or two before christmas! But not this year!

Anyway... It seems I have gone a bit doolally.. can I blame that on Ketosis too?

By the way anyone in south East wales on here? Newport / cardiff etc? I think a few of you might be swansea way and north wales, but just wondering if anyone was local?

Ok, back to sorting through stuff now ( did I mention I'm also in the middle of a house move?) well we are moving in on the 20th.

So lots to do!

Bye for now!

Hi Anne

How you feeling today? Its day 5 for me and i feel as though i am turning a corner. I wish i didnt think about this diet 24 hours a day though, are you the same?!

My weigh in is on Tuesday and i'm hoping for a good result. I am counting the days to add a meal week and think i may well stay on that for the remainder. I'm not sure I could do another 4 weeks of ss after this month is done!

Anyway, keep up the good work and take care

yes at the moment Hi Jo, yes i do think about food all day... but to be honest it is easier than I thought...

The dietry restrictions are tiresome... however I am constantly changing the way I eat the shakes... I don't drink hot drinks normally but have found that several if the shakes are lovely warmed up (if not a bit over sweet) I have also made up the shakes with a bit of water and put them in the micro to make cooky type things... not the best, but variety!
I have decided to stay on SS becuase if i go to the next level yet, I will start cheating, the good thing for me about SS is that it takes away the cheating options...I am actually scared for the AAM week... I think i will ask my hubby to do my meals as then I know he will do them exactly.. I will be tempted to add a bit here and there!
My weigh is on Monday night and can't wait!
Good luck for today!

HI Anne,

Try not to think about the AAM week too much just yet as you have a good while to go yet. My philsophy has always been to miss it out when I'm on a roll as I fear it so much...however I think if you do not want to re-gain the weight that you lose, you have to think embrace that week and learn to reintroduce the foods in a controlled manner - so that you learn that you can eat with control. Lots of people breeze through them and I think it's a good idea asking hubby to prepare the meals for you, if you feel that this will help.

However 3 weeks is a long time in CD heaven (and lots of weight loss!!) so, don't worry yourself too much...enjoy the changes in your body and your improving health.

Thanks Lottie!!!!

what a positive diary
well done anne
keep up the good work
kaz xx

Thanks Kaz, you are a real inspiration.... Can't wait to post my first piccies!

OOooooOOO nor can i! something nice to look forward to isnt it??

I think Kaz is very brave for posting hers already! but when i look at hers again, she has every right to! I cant believe how good she looks after losing 38 pounds! what a difference already!

i, on the other hand, am not quite ready to do that. i will be comfortable when i've lost a substantial amount and its noticable in the piccies.

funny how i'm embarrassed about how i look, dont you think?? seeing as we're ALL here for the same reasons..to lose weight and be healthy..oh and to look great in that xmas party dress. eheheh ((which i've never ever done..or purchased!))
