★★★★ The Water Babes Thread - Team 9 ★★★★

[tracey001]

Hi girls

Just had a PM from Ellie, she was involved in a car accident and has been in hospital hence while she wasn't posting. Anyway she won't be able to come back for a while as she has had an operation and can't do CD until she has fully recovered. I'm going to advertise for one more member to replace Emma.

Afternoon

Have been to a nursery for a few garden bits and some fish food. Bought a rabbit water bottle and bowl too! Ordered the hutch and run this morning, so they should be here within a week So excited!

Off into the garden now to put my new plants in etc. It's reasonably warm and sunny here, but does keep clouding over...

Hi, Tracey 001 replied to my request to join a team on the advertising thread saying you have a vacancy? Please can I join your team? x

 

[Kari]

well done Jayne and Nicky..enjoy that feeling. I love it when I know a bit more has gone. Well a bit, Nicky you have made an amazing start. Keep it up!

Welcome Dominique. I am Kari, live in Wiltshire, have 3 kids, 2 girls 21 and 18 and a boy of 9. I am a nurse and am a stone and a half lighter than I was a few weeks ago. Yay!

Had a mad day at work. Well afternoon really. Only worked 2 til 5 but was very busy and was late off! Nevermind, I prefer it busy the time goes faster!

Have to go and order my Australian money tomorrow, its a week on Thrsday that I go and suddenly it feels very close and I have done nothing to prepare, well I say nothing. I've ben shopping, and done some shopping and bought some things out shopping..... hehehehe

Wedding pressie for my cousin arrived to day (wedding is reason for going to Oz) so tomorrow I am going to go and buy beautiful wrappings for it. Can't wait! I love doing all the wrapping and ribbons and tags and stuff. Its table linen (irish linen) so easy to pack and take and will be nice and square to wrap too!

Been good today for food

Todays food diary
Porridge
Shake and a Banana
Salmon and dry stir fried veg
will have my bar later.

Sarah, I have just been watering my veg patch. I love June cos suddenly everything goes nuts and you can start to pick stuff. The strawbs are all gone but the first lot of bluberries are ready and the carrots are great! The broad beans are all in flower and the toms are starting to flower....wonderful!

There is nothing like picking stuff and serving it up a few mins later in a meal!

laters all
Kari

Hi Kari! I'm 22 and work as a junior project manager, I don't have any children but I do have a subsitute - my retired greyhound lol I'm getting married to Darren in September, he's an aircraft engineer in the RAF. I've just finished day one and have moved from daydreaming of marsbars to salad bars and now I'm on to the box of cherry tomatoes that I know is in the fridge lol please bear in mind that the salad bowl was inspired by a KFC advert!

I've done pretty well today though after a rocky start - I tried a strawberry milkshake and I've had to contact my cdc to do a swap for more of the porridges, my stomach was having none of it!

So today I have had:-
One Porridge
One Spicy Tomato Soup
Three Mouthfuls of a Strawberry Shake

Kept up my water intake also and had lots of coffee with splenda tabs to keep me going lol

I know I shouldn't have but needed the motivation at around 4 this afternoon and my scales say 4lbs less than the same time yesterday so that kept me away from the food.

Is it normal when you first start to see food everywhere? I just have to keep thinking of my weigh in with my cdc on Monday and how it will all be worth it come September when I'm in my dress and looking svelte.

We went to give our notice with the registrar today so it's all getting very real now!

Hope everyone else has had a good day and I will try my best to learn about you all, had a look through the thread so I know already that you are all lovely in and out and I look forward to getting through this with you all!

Love Dom x

PS Couldn't agree more about the picking vege from the garden and serving it up! My parents have a small holding and I'm always pilfering!

 

[kitt21]

hi dominique!! Nice to meet you! I noticed food everywhere on the first few days but you will feel less alienated from "the eaters" soon. I'm always checking the scales! Oops! I hate the porridges! Can only manage shakes and bars!
Kari I'm obsessed with wrapping pressies! I always find decorating them fun! At Christmas I've been known to nick decorations of the tree to decorate presants!

Right todays food diary!!!

Cranberry bar

Morning beautiful ones

The sun is shining at the mo, though apparently its gonna rain

Dominique. It tool me about a week to feel normal eating the cd stuff when the rest of the family were having meals, but once we all got used to it it was just fine. Also once you are in ketosis the food obsession settles down, the hunger abates and everything becomes simpler. So stick with it.

Also, don;t worry about hopping on the scales. I weighed myself just about every day at the start, I still hop on in the mornings quite a lot. I love seeing those lower numbers now but at the start I needed to know that it was working and as the weight drops off so fast it is very reassuring!

Today I am going to wear my size 12 jeans and go order holiday money etc. I need to tackle my ironing pile so I can put some stuff in a suitcase too!

But first I need to nip to the tesco express as I used the last of the dog food last night and he is looking at me with big brown eyes!! So will see you al later

Kari x

 

[Dominique2009]

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! My latest idea is to have my first cd meal as late in the day as possible so that I can have one in the evening when I would normally dip into the fridge!

Hope you have a good time at legoland!

So jealous on the size 12 ness Kari! One day I will be able to say that too!

Have a good day at work or whatever you're doing everyone!

[kelly1977]

hey everyone,

Had a big breakdown on hubby last night:cry:

I am moving away from CD now, therefore stepping down from water babes:cry: you guys ahve been a huge support, but cd is so hard for me now. I have been trying but can't do it.

I am feeling guilty for eating chicken and veggies which is wrong!! I want to enjoy my food with a bit of flavour haha!

My friend that has been dieting the same amount of time, is doing slimming world, so we are going to start going to group together, she is a bit exicted as being going it alone up to now!

I have loved cd and there is no way I would be where I am without it so fast, but I am happy to get this last stone off at slow pace! I brought some 12 demin cut off jeans today was mega chuffed!

I hope I can be a welcome visiter to you lot and check out how it's all going.

Even though slimming world is eat what you like, I will be sticking to low caloire still (I don't know too much about it, just what my friend said!!)

love you all my water babies xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Awww Hun, So Sorry to see you leave us!! :cry:
But I understand you have to do whats right for you. Keep popping in back in to let us know how ya doing!!

Well what a windy dull day here..

I noticed tracey & kari you are doing food diary on here, good Idea..

Well I got on Keiths scales this morning & it only says I have lost 1lb, WTF!!!!!

Feel a bit deflated considering.. I have drank 3-4l since monday, I have to confess I cheated with a satsuma but like I said I dont crave chocolate or crisps etc while on CD (only when due on totm)
I crave fruit, I miss it soooo much...

So had a Litre of tea so far & on my 1st litre of water, will have my 1st pack at dinnertime..

Gutted!!! .................................... :cry:
