Thread: Little Piggys Diary

hi everyone,

i was just thinking i should start keeping my own diary, documentng my ups and downs, and maybe it will help keep me focused....

so...i started Slimming World on 4th July 2011, weighing in at 18.1

6 weeks on from that in mid august my GP prescribes my Xenical

week one on X = 1LB off...i was so disappointed with this, as i had been loosing 2lb / 4.5lbs before Xen....but i decided to stick with it...

so week 2 on Xen....= 5lbs loose...i was estatic... so pleased....

week 3 = 3lbs loss...

and thats where i am at now...

i weigh in every monday at class, and stay for the "talk"....at the moment...i need it...i cant just run in and get weighed and home again....i need the support, tips and advice from group.

week 1 & 2 on Xen, i was only taking one per day, my GP says i only needed one with my main meal, but after reading lots of advice on here, i decided to try 3 per day

i figure the losses my slow down pretty soon, though i would really like to think with me being so strict with the Slimming World food, and doing 10 walks a week, i would love to loose 1 / 3 lbs a week,

i have 14 weigh ins til Christmas, and i would love to have another 1.5 off in that time

i am just 1lb off my 2 stone award and i would love to get that on Monday night

i got my club 10 award last monday, and my 1.5 stone award the monday before

at the mo, i am just taking it sticker, by sticker,

at 16.2 with a target of 12.12, i want to remain keen and focused.

i do think that maybe my target is set too high, and i might need to reset for 11.12 / 12.02, but with an initial weight of 18.1, i found setting an ideal target very scary indeed.

i really thought loosing in the region of 6 stone was beyond me....whereas now...its down to a more managable 3 stone 4lb

when i get a wee bit nearer, i will have a rethink.

i suppose, to be honest, i dont mind what weight i am, but i would like to be a size 14, and for it to fit comfy, go on holidays, have xmas etc...and for the 14 to still fit.

anyways...thats me...thanks for reading,

if anyone wants to offer advice / opinion on the target weight please do,

im a 37 YO female, always been overweight, and i dont think 10 stone is realistic.

my own GP has said 11.5 / 12 would be fine.

thanks x

so

welcome and looking forward to reading more from you, sounds like you are well on your weigh to a new you x

Hiya!! I think your right to set yourself a realistic goal.... Good luck on your journey. xxxx

thanks for that.

i will see how it all goes when i get anywhere near target

weigh in tonite, so fingers crossed...its week 3 on Xen!

Good luck for your weigh-in.

hi and welcome, look forward to hearing all about your success and losses.

You have made a great start

week 3 on Xen, week 10 at slimming world, and i lost 2lbs, got my 2 stone award, and have lost a total of 2 stone 1lbs

really want to have the other 13lbs off for 3 stone for xmas, and its 13 weigh ins,

fingers crossed

thanks everyone for all the support x

Congratulations!!!! You must be over the moon with that!! Well odne you. xxx

i am...i really think that the Xen and SW are working well together...i cant really ask for more than 10lbs in 3 weeks.

i am being really good...i dont wanna suffer the wrath of Xen with too much fat...so i be careful

now i do have my chinese takeaway every sat nite....and i take a Xen with that...

i am not giving up the weekly "treat",....as SW is meant to be something you can do for the rest of your life i think.

your right this is something your supposed to be able to do for the rest of your life, so you do need to include your treats

well done on your loss this week, so please for you.

I still have Chinese every now and again with no side effects as I've discovered that boiled rice with chicken and mushrooms in gravy is lovely. I avoid the gravy just in case as I don't know how it's been made.

I forgot to say, you'll probably also find that in a few weeks you won't actually enjoy your Chinese very much as you can taste the fat in it that you didn't notice before

i can see how that might happen....just getting used to to taste of less and less fat in your diet....i do have chicken curry, but i fish the chicken out of the curry sauce so i have very little of it, with boiled rice and a FEW chips

i do find you dont enjoy fatty foods as much, i am not saying i dont crave it but if i have chips say or a burger i really dont enjoy it as much as i thought i would, just need to stop craving it though. Which like i say is daft as i dont even enjoy it when i eat it yes i am a bit mad!!
