Alison's slim1day diary

Hello!
Having a read of your diary as I am just switching over from Cambridge to S and S for the last few lbs. I have lost 2 stone 1lb over the past 8 weeks, taking me to 10 stone 3 and 4 lbs from goal.
A few things that strike me about your diary - if I may give some advice? The amount of water you are consuming... I'd try limiting this to around 2 litres as you may be retaining water. I know people drink in excess of this a day but it really is not necessary and just places strain on the kidneys and your body can hold onto it - this will then reflect on the scales.
I'd also try and resist hopping on every day if you can - due to your high water intake you are going to see fluctuations of several lbs for sure.
Keep it up though - it's a hard journey but so worth it

0.25 down today; so still 1lb up on what i was on Monday.
Going to cut back a bit on the water to see if it is water retention causing the fluctuations as suggested.
First day of using cross trainer going to try to do 30 mins non-stop at level 1 just to see how I get on; then will adjust time / resistance based on how I find it.

Good for you getting straight on the cross trainer.
You'll really notice a difference in no time.
I don't have any tension on the it really as I'm afraid it will bulk up my legs.
It's really my tummy I want to get toned so I just tend to whizz away on it in 10min stints.
Good luck with the exercise though Alison x x

Now 1.5lbs heavier than i was on Saturday (official weigh day); why???? 
I've stuck 100% to plan; have had between 3 and 3.5 litres of water every day.
The science says that its not possible to gain weight on what i'm consuming but the reality is that i am!!
Hopefully in the next day or two the scales will leap downwards; logically they've got to.
Really need to keep away from the scales as am getting frustrated at sticking to plan and gaining; just hope there is a whoosh before Saturday. :cross:

Have just had a big baking session; have made 2 lemon drizzle cakes and 2 chocolate cakes.
Really please with myself as I didn't taste any of the mixtures or lick the bowls out.
Made them all in 2lb loaf tins so that they can be slied easily and frozen in packs of 2 or 3 slices; they are for my daughter whom I'm taking back to Uni at the weekend.

-1.75lbs this week; not good. However have now lost a stone but it has taken 5 weeks. Definitely a slow loser but at least it is heading downwards.
Have found that the scale weighs different depending if I stand in middle or towards the top; think I might have to put a line on them to put my toes up to so that get fair weigh in every time.
Cross-trainer 15 mins at level 2 done first thing as getting sorted to take daughter back to uni in a bit and don't know what time will be back and also if I'll be in the mood for exercise then.
