Kellmo's Atkins attempt

[kellmo]

Awwww you're all so sweet! Thank you!

I got my space food today so having just chicken and veg for tea as carb comedown is bad enough on a vlcd. I will post daily to keep me on track. On a course today and tomorrow so will be kept busy!

Thanks so much everyone xxxx

Eeeeeeks

Don't know why 2 photos have appeared? One is my food!!!

Space food indeed! One step at a time Kel, go go go!

PS you seem to have a very similar kitchen to me! x

 

[kellmo]

Very similar kitchen! Bet mine's messier!

So this morning I weighed and I was 11 stone 1lb.

I had a banana shake, lovely up of tea and glass of water for breakfast.

Lunch was a choc Truffa bar with more tea and inbetween meals at least a litre and half of water. Was feeling hungry for lunch but ok now I've eaten it. I'm on a course with lunch provided and the girls are giving me funny looks and asking questions - I can't hide the fact I'm eating this tiny bar!

Tea will be salmon and veg and then another shake before bed with obviously more tea and water.

I feel good. In control and in a positive frame of mind. YAYYY me!

The plan is I do this for 9-10 days and then see how it goes..... Thanks for all your support - it means so much

Actually sounds very yummy Kell and I bet it's quite filling!

 

[CornishTT]

I agree with coffee lover, sounds like quite a bit! Hope you're doing ok, keep going! x

Once your stomach shrinks and ketosis hits I do actually get full. It's the best vlcd there is. One real meal a day works well for me. Just gotta make sure I don't go galavanting about! I'm so pleased Im jn full control. #issues !!

Glad you feel more in control! I'm hating not losing, having a week off shred, no doubt I will sts coz iv not been eating properly :'(

 

[kellmo]

It's just not on is it? I genuinely feel for you Tee. Hate to sound like a stick record but what do your clothes feel like and measurements say? Did you do before and after pics?

It's just so disheartening isn't it?

Xx

I feel your pain x

 

[CornishTT]

Shame Tee, sorry to hear you're still not losing and also not eating properly, maybe a week off is what you need? I remember when I researched it loads of people said they didn't really lose (one said she got her other dvd - banish fat boost metabolism and was alternating with that and then only did she see scales move). I am thinking have to mix it up with cardio to help lose. But it is firming you both up lovely!

 

[kellmo]

Wooooo I'd forgotten how little sleep I needed last time round on vlcd. Fell asleep at gone midnight and was wide awake from 0530

This stands me in good stead for assignment completion!!

 

[CornishTT]

Wow, go you, wish I could survive on that little sleep!

It's the diet... NOT me! I'm lazy!!

 

[kellmo]

YAYYY! 3lbs off today! I know it's water weight but I don't actually care! It feels good seeing the scales go down.

Had a lovely hot bath as I'm home alone and up early...

Had first pint of water, brew and shake and I'm raring (ish) to go xx

 

[CornishTT]

Yeeha! Go girl, scales make a big difference to me too. Working well! x

 

[coffeelover]

Well done Kell, love it when scales move!

 

[kellmo]

It's drastic action but it's gotta be done!

 

[kellmo]

Another 1lb off today - must drink more water. My belly is grumbling and waking me up in the night!!

 

[CornishTT]

Oh no, rumbling tummy never good. Can you drink more tea? I find it so hard to drink water in winter but I can chug down the teas (green tea and chai mix is my current favourite!). Well done on another 1lb! x

 

[kellmo]

Yeah, tea is gonna be the crutch I need to get me through this! I'm going to order another weeks worth today so I can do 10-11 days.

Feel full now but belly still gurgling. Will be fun teaching with this rumbling away!!
