I have decided after dieting and battling with my weight all my life, that this time I'm going to win!
I remember going on my first diet at about 9 or 10. I was chunky all through school and hated it. I lost some in my early 20's. It changed my life but was so hard to maintain.
I felt fantastic but put on 3 stone in my 1st pregnancy. I lost it all again though but over the next 5 years put some back on. When my second pregnancy came to term I had put on 6 stone.
I struggled for some years to lose it but by on/off dieting I was @3 stone less when I got pregnant again at 38. I tried to do SW while pregnant, but one week gained 8lb and the leader was clearly very annoyed at the numbers ... so I gave up!!
When the baby came in dec 2009, I was 17 stone again. During the following year I did every type of diet. The most I lost was a stone. My relationship broke in april 2011 and was my motivation to really get my health back.
So, I was approaching 40 a single mum with 3 kids, a full time job and a house to run. I had been having pain in my joints and was no longer able to wear high heels for more than half an hour cos it hurt so much. I hated my clothes, nothing fashionable, unless uncomfortable and knew I looked terrible. I saw photos from a holiday the previous year (although I had avoided cameras) and my appearance had really distressed me... especially as I had thought I looked good on the day the pics were taken!!
So, I joined WW online. I was 16 stone 9lb. I missed going to meetings but just wasnt possible with the kids. Over the next few months I got down to 13 stone 7lb. But I found that everytime I wanted to fill in the food 'points' tracker, the site froze or took hours to save the info so I stopped filling it in. Christmas came and the meals out, work 'do's', sweets in the office etc took their toll. When my little girl fell asleep on my lap (she is just 2) I really struggled to carry her upstairs. Something had to change ... and quick before all the weight went back on.
So, in January a friend mentioned she had done Lipotrim. I looked it up and found the blog of an amazing girl on this site.
It was so inspiring I spent a whole day reading through posts & blogs!!
On Tuesday 17th January I went into the chemist and so started this journey.....
Day 1 14 stone 1lb.
OMG this drink is disgusting. Have got chocolate, vanilla and Chicken soup.
Made the chocolate - was freezing at work and had read its better hot so made it that way. Struggled to get it down. Same with cold vanilla at lunch. Whilst having the soup at dinner, friend called. She mentioned 240ml per drink... then I realised I'd been following the mens instructions and adding 450ml. No wonder its so vile.
I have just managed 2 litres of water plus endless cups black coffee.
Have been to the loo at least 10 times today. I swear my colleagues think I have a bladder problem!!
Still got through day 1.
Hooray.
