Lauren's Weightloss Diary

[laurenmummy1]

After stalking these forums and writing a few comments here and there, I think it's time for me to pen (or type) my diet diary... *nervous face*

I'm Lauren, a young mother of 2 boys who is finding it hard to be happy with herself these days! After having my youngest 13 weeks ago, I had to buy myself a size 18 pair of jeans which was the last straw for me.

I miss my size 10s. I will be back in size 10s.

I really hope to find support in doing this diary and hope to help you all too! Thank you for reading and here are my stats:

Diet: Sole Source
Start weight: 197lbs (BMI 30.9)
Target weight: 127lbs

Currently on day 3 and 100% so far! My first weigh in is on Tuesday. How nasty are some of these shakes? It's going to take some getting used to! x

Hello, I've got a two year old and my youngest is almost 9 months. I too got so fed up of my size that I knew I had to do something now and couldn't blame pregnancy any longer. Size 16 was starting to get tight and there was no way I was going to accept being a size 18.

I'm on week 4 now and really pleased with myself, I've almost lost the same weight as my 9 month old weighs, it's scary when you look at it that way! Which step are you doing?

We will be yummy mummies in time for summer again

Good luck Laurenmummy1,

keep strong this weekend and remember how great you're going to be feeling on Tuesday!

 

[laurenmummy1]

Thank you ladies! I'm stuck in bed with an awful cold/cough which has given me an awful headache - I think this is actually a good thing food-wise!!

Hope you all have a great weekend x

Morning Lauren,
Tiredness and headaches are a good sign your in the zone, although it could be a coincidence and you may have a actual cold ?
Fingers crossed you feel better soon but make sure you still have your 3 products x x x

Which soup are you having this evening ? I promise they do get better the more you get used to them x

You to!

I have just finished week 14. I really cant believe I have survived 1/4 of a year but it's getting more and more difficult to stuck with just SS+ so I plan on giving it a few weeks and then going to step 2 for variety. Some days are harder than others and there have been times when I have had the odd meal off but nothing massive and I have managed to go straight back onto it the next day. I have found the longer I am on it the more confident I feel about controlling things like portion sizes and making the right food decisions.

A long way for me to go yet but I am getting there!

Good luck!

Good luck for your weigh in hunni, I had mine and lost a whopping 11 pound


Please be sure to let us know how you get on x x x

First weigh in last night and I left with a 9 1/4lb loss which I'm super happy with! I managed to stay 100% all week so I'm determined to carry on my perfect streak!!

My CDC is now away for a week so I have a whole 2 weeks before my next weigh in and she wants me well into the 12s.

When I go back she's happy for me to have bars if I want which I will probably do as I really hate most of the shakes!

Trying to fit in a bit of toning exercises I can so at home... Any ideas for bum, thighs, tummy and arms?

How are all you ladies doing?
