Hi everyone,
It has been a while since I have posted even though I promised myself that I would keep everyone updated on my progress up the steps.
So I am now almost at the end of my second week of step three and really loving it! I am finding this step really easy, the introduction of more food was a real concern initially but I do believe that I am well on my way to really understanding how to eat properly and that the way I ate before isn't a way that I can ever go back to (not unless I want to put all of my weight back on). I managed a 1.5lb weight loss on my first week so the higher steps do work as long as you give them the same dedication as SS/SS+.
So on step three I still have two Cambridge products a day, I generally have eggs for breakfast (boiled or scrambled) and then a shake mid morning. Lunch on step three is recommended to be a leafy salad but I generally have a little something extra with it like tuna or chicken taken out of my evening protein allowance (which is actually a lot). Dinner tends to be meat and steamed veg, I made a batch of the Cambridge recipe chilli con carne last week which was delicious! I am still a bit dubious of carbs but finding cous cous (which I love) a life saver!
This week I decided that it was time to have a bit of a treat so me and my other half ordered a Chinese, we had ribs, spring rolls and crispy duck no heavy carbs ordered which i was glad about because I was ridiculously full, i could only eat half of my spring roll! It was lovely but I am hoping that it doesn't interfere with my loss this week because other than that I have been 100%, taking full advantage of the fruit allowance, watermelon is my new best friend.
So I will update you all on my weightloss on Monday, I am not expecting big losses now, maybe 1-2lb a week until I am at goal which is about 5-6lb away
Starting Weight: 11st 7lb. Week 1 WI: -7lb (11st). Week 2 WI: -3lb (10st 11lb). Week 3 WI: -5lb (10st 6lb). Week 4 WI: -3lb (10st 3lb). Week 5 WI: -2lb (10st 1lb). Week 6 WI: -1.5lb (9st13.5lb). Week 7 WI: -2.5lb (9st 11). Week 8 WI: STS. Week 9 WI: -2lb (9st9lb). Week 10 WI: -4lb (9st5lb). Week 11 WI: -0.5lb (9st4.5lb). Week 12 WI: -1.5lb (9st3lb).
