Introducing ~ Big Girl Going Small :)

[pripri121]

U should get a size 6 under garment lol! Just end up with a really fat neck! Hahahahahahaha xx Anyway, I WISH I was ur starting weight u loon! U need to read my diary.... I started at 16st 4lb! Only just got down to 15st 13lb. Depends how tall u are. If I was 12 stone i would hope to look super slim because I'm 5ft 8" tall. And in fact, on the bmi chart I should be around 12 stone for my height. I'd be happy with that! I have bought a gorgeous little gold and black jacket in a smaller size from the catalogue. It was in the sale so I thought i'd get that as an incentive to lose my first 2 stone. Can't wait to slip it on, knowing that a few weeks ago I wouldn't of been able to get it up my arms let alone zipped up! But I don't know if I would buy a dress that I HAD to wear to something in a few weeks.... Don't u find you can take different dress sizes in different shops?

This is my diary Pri pri lol!

Day 11
Had a dream last night that I ate normal food.... I was quite devastated!
Woke up with that relief, knowing I was still going strong!
So that is a good kick start to the day.
Having to really squeeze my packs in today!
Haven't got a great shift so trying to time them evenly :-/
Plan to have my first shake (strawberry) at 12, then my lunch bar and coffee at 3.
Thank god my next order has arrived, run out of bars. I have enough shakes for a fortnight but I really enjoy the bar with a hot drink for lunch. Feels right!
I have about 30 odd packs to get rid of that I can't stand.
Still haven't tried curry or Chilli. Bit ominous if the others are anything to go by!
We shall see.

Day 12 day 12 day 12!!

Huge pat on the back to me, tough day yesterday with lots of temptations, but managed to sail through it with the bigger picture in mind
My fiance really picked me up too....
I was stressing about wedding invites whilst working out what to eat for my protein meal, and in he walks from work, takes one look at me and says
'Wow babe! U can really see a difference today, ur face and shoulders look loads slimmer and your clothes look loose!'
Bless him, he doesn't know how good that was to hear, and it made me think.....
As much as I think I want a cream cake or a slice if toast,
NOTHING feels better than a weight loss compliment!!
Needless to say, from then on the day was easy
we might look at ourselves all day everyday hoping to see a change, but its other people that see it first and its those little comments from other people that pick us up and spur us on.

Anyway today is my day off and I have a lot planned.
Also have my dads birthday meal out tonight.
Looking forward to testing myself and ordering wisely!
Xx

Hey hun well done on day 12 woop woop n the fact tht ur fiance can see a physical diff already is simply amazin...n great motivation to stick it out hehe...aww have a lovely time at ur dads bday meal hun have fun xx

 

[Clinquant]

It's great when people notice. Have a brilliant day.

 

[Tara27]

Well that was nice!
Just got back from eating out for my dads bday.
Managed to find the menu online before hand so that I could plan ahead.
And I survived!!
I had baked egg and mushrooms with green salad for starter. I had to pass on the cream and Gruyere cheese but it was still yummy! Then for my main I had Cajun roasted salmon with green salad leaves.
Again, I had to pass on the parmesan, croutons and dressing, but its nothing different to what I may have made myself if I was at home!
And then I watched everyone eat pudding.....
So it was a successful night out and I must have had at least 5 glasses of water.
I haven't had my last shake as I'm knackered and in bed,
and psychologically it feels like I've had a naughty meal out so feel its ok to pass this once.
Also, when I got home it actually made me more determined to see this diet through.
It made me think of all the times I've come home after a meal out, stuffed to the brim with carbs, sugar, fat etc and felt even worse about myself
I'm not missing that!
Onwards and downwards

Well done for being gd and also having a gd time wooop woop ur gna b skinny before u know it xx

 

[Clinquant]

Great and yummy choices by the sound of it. Makes you wonder why we do pick all the stodgy choices when we feel so awful afterwards. Habit and instant gratification I guess.

 

[Tara27]

Anyone know how to Reset MyFitnessPal?
I'm still using it from my SW targets but it'd be so much easier if I could do it by my slim and save amounts. I can't find anyway to change it tho?

Hi Tara x well done on the meal out . I have decided to not turn invitations down ( if I get any lol ) as I'm in this for the long run . Hope today goes well how exciting x

 

[Tara27]

Day 14!
Wahoooo, 2 weeks on plan with no slip ups!!

Soooo like I said, I'm having to come out of ketosis tonight to sample and choose our wedding breakfast.
Bit gutted because I'm fully in ketosis and its my 2nd weigh in tomorrow.
So..... I weighed myself this morning instead, and I've lost another 4lbs!!

Then after work I went into town with my gorgeous man who treated me to some top of the range digital scales that take your age, height etc and work out ur fat percentage and BMI. Brilliant!
He knows i was fed up with our old dodgy scales so he treated me to these nicer ones
Thing is, on these scales I'm 2-3lb heavier!
Weighing in at 15st 9lb now.
I dont mind, their more reliable so I'm happy to go by the new ones from now on.
I was nearly 17 stone a couple of months back and now I'm in the 15's!!!
Amazing

Yaay 4lbs is brilll and a day early too heheh woop woop u go girl hun n the new scales sound amazin aww bless ya xx

 

[Tara27]

Ok..... Day 15 and into week 3.

Week 3 is renowned for some as being the week where it becomes too much and u begin to get sick of the diet, lose focus and give up.

NOT FOR ME!!

I haven't even shown the best I can do yet, I still have so much to achieve so there's no chance week 3 will break me.

The scales are confusing me.
I will now stick to weighing
ONCE A WEEK, IN THE SAME PLACE, SAME TIME, IN JUST MY KNICKERS!!!
I'm apparently down another 2lb, at 15st 7lb now.

So, we enjoyed the wedding breakfast sampler last night. It felt ever so naughty eating fresh crusty bread with butter, crispy chicken and bacon with dauphinoise potatoes, sea bass, Eton mess and profiteroles. And a few sips of red/white wine :-/

I've made it harder for myself as the next day, I'm now feeling peckish!
but coming home full up made me determined to keep going and back on the ketosis train!

We shall see what week 3 brings.
