8 week challenge - bride2b - day 1 eeek

[Want2bme]

Hi all,

Today is my first day on S&S, but apprehensive as to what to expect although excited as I've read sooooo many amazing achievements by people.

For those doing the 3 a day plus protein and veg, how do you space your meals out? I have 2 girls, start my day at 6 so wondering how to get through the day without feeling the pang!

Im setting my water goal by my daughters routine, they eat and snack 5 times a day so if I have a pint of water at each sitting and 1/2 a pint at snack times thats my water goal achieved.

On the bright side I weighed myself today thinking I'm 14.4 but I'm actually 14.1 so that's 3 lb loss before I've even started, bonus lol

Any tips, pointers, anyone starting it this week also and need inspiration?

I have 8 weeks till I get married, and up to now I just haven't had the mind set I hope this kick starts me tomy long term goal of shifting 5 1/2 stone

A toast to the start of the journey, 1st goal, stick with it through this tough week ahead. Can I do it? Of course.... Watch this space (I hope )

Hey

Of course you can do it! If I can and I have a fussy eating 4 year old then anyone can lol with spacing your packs out, I normally leave the first one until late as possible, my son wakes up between 5-7 and I have my first pack at 12/1 so it is possible, just get that water down ya! I have one of those 1L bottles you can buy in the shop and I just fill that up every time.

Good luck with day one xx

Hey,

Thanks for the vote of confidence. If I can get through this week, I can do it I know it really

When did you start S&S, what have you achieved so far, what is your goal and time frame?

First shake at 9, the choc crisp one...... Better than I expected lol

Hi lil miss,

Liking the fact that me and thee seem to have a very similar goal!! and both northern lass' lol

Im not sure if this is the right place to do a diary or if I should be doing it in the'diaries section but then I suppose I can do a post wedding diary as this first stint is going to be the hard one?

Where is your diary? Be interesting to read it, well today hasn't been so bad, so far I just feel tired and thirsty! Think I shall be going to bed early ! So many times I have gone to eat a bit of banana or something, I'm weaning my little one so it's all about food ha ha!

Oooh ooh where abroad are you getting married? My wedding coming up isn't the big one, it's only small with immediate family, we are trying soooo hard to get on the property ladder that we can't justify the cost of a wedding yet, but we want to be married so we are doing it small, and when we have a house and more flexi income, then we shall save and renew our vows, that's when I shall have the party and dress etc. if only money was no object, we would have personal trainers and be a size 6 just weeks after birth, all the surgery we like..... Ay well, the hard way it is then, know what they say, no pain, no gain lol

Xx

[Want2bme]

Whats everyone up to tonight? You shall find me in bed come 9pm. Think lol xx

 

[RebekahR]

Just wanted to say welcome and good luck hun

Sounds like your doing fantastic

I find the timing really is the bit that helps. Spacing all your little snacks and drinks out.

Xxx

 

[Want2bme]

Hi Rebekah,

Thank you Yes that's what I have to work out..... The timings of the food. How well are you doing? No stats on your profile x


Well good morning world,

day one done...... Hello day 2! Today I am soooooo tired, not because of the diet I don't think, but not being able to sleep and then my 6 month old deciding to say good morning at 5.30 am and fidget all night.

Ive woken up with a tension headache and a taste in my mouth that makes me want to scrub my tongue over and over, it just wont go...... Whats all that about? Is thisthe beginning of ketosis? Already? I felt hungry early hours, but other than that, no hunger pangs, I probably am hungry but choosing to ignore it.

Busy day ahead in this sunshine, biggest challenge today is we have a house party this afternoon, I'm going to take my bar for them as there will be lots of sweet things about its fine, right?? Lol

And whoop whoop, guess what, I bought a dress yesterday, a sexy ruffled, navy blue cocktail dress in a 12 , that is my motivation. Other half has agreed that WHEN I get into this dress, he will take me to the ritz for dinner whoop!

Have to say I'm dying to get on the scales and see what's happened in the past 24 hours! 6 days till weigh in!

Have a good day everyone, wish me luck and willpower to not fall off the wagon! xx

 

[RebekahR]

Great your not feeling hungry hun, ace stuff

I'm 50lb down, got another 8-12 weeks on plan

Lovely of hub to offer to take you out at goal, lovely. I love going to the ritz its fab lovely treat!!

[stef2009]

Hello ladies,

How was your day? Well..... We got lost in the woods, 3 hours later ...... Omgoodness sooooo tired, did it with a buggy in trecking conditions, ended up on a horseriding route and then a bridal way...... Found a road, walked the wrong way and doubled back.....think I've Burned all my calories today... Whoops..... Little walk we said??

On the plus side I've been so worried with being lost I haven't thought about food lol Although for the first time ever I felt guilty sharing my water, in a daft way, I had a litre bottle and all I could think was, now I'm off track and don't know how much I've drank, what am I going to do if I feel hungry...... Lol magic water, luckily everyone was watered and I can start my mission of 1 litre before bed to make up for it.

Whats everyone been up to?

Well I'm off to treatmy nettle stings ouch ...... Xx

 

[stef2009]

Wow what a day lol bet ur knakered now!!! Xxx
