Claires xenical ramblings

[Blue Butterfly]

ooowwww my arms are killing me!!
I think its a combination of the pilates on weds (we did some weird arm exercise while laying on our sides and that hurt!)
Plus I played badminton for 1hour today and 1hour of basketball (which I sucked at!) so yep my arms hurt

But on a good note,the diet is going really really well. Am eating lots of yummy food instead of the crap I used to fill my body with,I dont feel hungry ever and I have had no dodgy side effects yet,yay!

 

[becca_979]

Just wanted to say well done!! You're doing so great with your food and exercise.

 

[Blue Butterfly]

Thank you

[Earthmother]

[purple_kathryn]

[becca_979]

Weigh in

ok so my first weigh in on xenical and I have lost 8lbs
Plus I lost 2lbs last week so a total of 10lbs....Im getting there,slowly but surely!

 

[Earthmother]

I dont call 10lbs in a fortnight slow going!! Fantastic result. Bloody well done!

 

[Blue Butterfly]

Thank yooouuu
Im an impatient person so I just kinda want all the weight to fall off NOW lol
But yep Im happy with my loss so far,I hope it continues going so well!

 

[becca_979]

Well done you!! What a fantastic week, you have done so well, you must be really proud of yourself! arty0038:

Keep it up!!

Thanks becca

I have been scale hopping every day (naughty me I know!) and the numbers are still going down every day so I am very pleased! But will only post numbers on my 'official' weigh in day on sundays!

This week is ever easier than last week. Im not craving any foods. I have weight watchers desserts and some low fat crisp thingys in the kitchen but I haven't even been tempted to have any of those. Im filling up on fruit and veg and Im just not hungry so dont need extra snacks.
I am totally obssesed with my fave dinner though! I have quorn fillets (only 94 cals for 2!) and then loads of baby carrots and broccoli....its so yummy. I try not to have it every night though coz I know I need variety in my diet.
I dont suppose anyone has any low fat gravy recipes? Ones that are suitable for vegetarians?
I used to love gravy on my veg but the fat is something like 17g per 100g so thats a no go!

 

[Kes]

can you not make your own gravy from a veg stock cube (forgive me if that has meat products in it) bit of boiling water and cornflour to thicken???? (cornflour mixed with water first)???

 

[Blue Butterfly]

oh I didn't think of looking at stock cubes,never used them before!
I'll try them then. Sorry for sounding thick and not knowing about stock cubes lol

 

[becca_979]

I bought some of those quorn fillets to try today, hope they're nice!!

Did you find some gravy??

Hope you've had a good day.

Hey Becca,those quorn fillets are nice as long as you dont over cook them coz then they go all rubbery!
I haven't been anywhere to look for gravy yet,I will be going shopping today though.


Its weigh in WEEK 2......
Ive lost 5lbs :bliss:
So including last weeks loss and the 2lbs I lost the week before I started xenical thats 15lbs! So Ive lost my first stone in just 3 weeks

[KittyBling]

Well done BB and how much more will you have off by the time you get to see the doctor? Fantastic weight loss in such a short time.
