So, I've been lurking on this site for the past week and finally I've joined!
Here's my 'story'.
I'm a 23 year old from northwest England. Always on a diet and if I'm not, my diet is absolutely shocking. I go from one extreme to another: tracking absolutely everything on my fitness pal to eating McDonalds, KFC AND Chinese on a hungover Sunday! I'm also constantly always looking to the next meal. Not only that, I'm greedy! 'The more the merrier' or so I thought.
I've always been a 'big girl' and been the biggest one in my group of friends. It's often got me down but not so much for me to do anything. I've pretty much been a 14/16 since I can remember.
The past year has been spent getting over a long term relationship and has involved plenty of alcohol and bad food. (And bad decisions but that's for another time!)
I have decided that I want to lose weight now for me!
I work in health care and as you can imagine, when someone starts a new diet - everyone has to try it! April 2012 was when Lipotrim was introduced to our area of work by a colleague. My first thoughts? Impossible! There's not a cat in hell's chance that I could survive of three shakes a day and NO food. Absolutely ridiculous! But as more people started with the diet I felt that I needed to give it a shot. So in August 2012 I did just that. I got weighed and was the heaviest I'd ever been - 15 stone! That was a smack in the face, I can tell you that. At this point, my ex-boyfriend and I had been living in our first home together for 5 months and getting to grips with cooking etc. So, on the Monday I set about by having a shake at 10am, 3pm and planned to have one at 6-7pm. With most diets, I do really well at work and then I get home and am beyond starving so eat everything in sight! Once I'd got home on day one of lipotrim, I had to cook my ex's dinner which didn't bother me as such, but I felt I was missing out so had a handful of crisps with the idea that 'Well I've already cut down a hell of a lot so I'll still lose weight?'. This was the story for the next 5 days. Safe to say, I gave up pretty quickly not even managing a single day on Lipotrim! I still went to get weighed and had managed to lose 6lbs and managed to keep it off for a while (no idea how!).
Recently I've decided that I want to get fit and healthy for myself. I want to better my future and try to become more active and for me, I believe that lipotrim could give me that kick start. (That and the fact that there have been so many success stories from my colleagues!)
So here we are, day 7! I can't express how proud I am of myself. I usually give up so easily! My initial weigh-in was 14 stone 13 pounds. Due to availability at the pharmacy I had to have my first weigh-in on day 5 and the result was 14 stone 4 pounds, 9 pounds off! I was so chuffed I've since weighed myself and I've lost another 2 pounds. It has by no means been the easiest thing but when I feel tempted to give up or cheat (not so much now) I just remind myself why I'm doing it. I don't know, I guess being in the right frame of mind helps?
I've wiped my social calendar for the forthcoming weeks - I'm usually a 3 nights out a week kinda girl! The next planned night out is my Christmas Do in 5 weeks. So fingers crossed I can achieve another 4 weeks Lipotrim and a weeks refeed.
I've totally gone on and on but I just wanted to share my journey so far not even sure if anyone will see this other than me!
Lotsa love xx
