4 stone and counting....backwards i hope!!

Hi im Carol and im new to this forum. im 43 and have 2 daughters and a new granddaughter (3 months old) . it was seeing the photos of myself with my granddaughter that shocked me into finally doing something serious about my weight. I have done SW and WW before but to be honest, losing 0.5, 1 or 2lb a week is really disheartening when you have 4 stone to lose!! Im sensible enough to want to do it healthily, but heavens above..i can poo a pound! i dont need a diet club to lose a piddley pound each week!

I was going to start lipotrim this week but having read lots of info and stuff on here, and websites, i decided to give slim and save a go...and im so glad i have. I am on day 2 and am doing the 4 packs a day. i have 3 shakes and a bar to take to work, as i work in a large office and want people to see me chewing lol..i guess its just easier than having 20 questions fired at you with a reprimanding look!

So far so good. i feel absolutely fine, no headaches..yet, tho i know what to expect from reading the posts on here, im drinking plenty of water and having a couple of coffees with the milk allowance.

I love reading peoples diarys so i thought id start one of my own to hopefully give someone else the encouragement to start sns.

heres hoping that day 3 and 4 are not too bad.....

Thanks for your support.. day 3 and alls well. I went round the shops this morning and had no problems with dizziness which is good. im drinkin plenty of water and have been taking a pint up to bed with me as im always up n down to the loo anyway so i may as well have a few sips of water during the night! its really helped starting just before the bank holiday too because i havent made any plans to do anything at all, so i can laze round the house if i want to, NOT stuffing my face as is the norm on other bank hols!! i should be well into ketosis before i go back to work on tuesday...my daughters going away with her school on tuesday until friday so i dont have to cook anything either!..i think its all in the planning to be honest!!

I want to lose 2 stones by 21st june when i go to ladies day at ascot...posh frocks n huge hats..bring it on..lol I tried the dress on that i want to wear and its snug to say the least!!

Hi Carol. How are you getting on? You are doing really well so far and your mindset it right which is the most important part here. I'm on day 8 today and I have just had my first WI at -6lbs. Not bad for a week. I haven't been 100% but I'm sure you will see great weight shifts if you stick 100%.

Good luck and enjoy the bank holiday.
