Epic Journey

[MissMuNkY]

Hey All!

I thought I'd start a diary as I know it can really help. I have previously done slimming world but find that as there is far too much choice that I can't be trusted!

I am starting next Sunday as I have a conference for two days with work and I'm away, so gonna get that out of the way then I know I have nothing planned for 5-6 weeks to give me the best possible chance for success.

I have lost 1 stone so far, just being slighly sensible and following slimming world where I can. I have no idea how much I want to lose in the end but I know that it will be alot maybe around 6 stone. Once I drop a few stone then I guess I'll have a better idea what I am aiming for.

I need to shift this weight now, I put it on when I first attempted to stop smoking 4 years ago (I've been stopped for 3).

I am super determined and can't wait to share my experience with you all. I'll be ordering my first weeks pack on Wednesday, I'm not really fussy so I'm hoping that means I will enjoy most of the items

yay! i honestly cant wait - i hope you find it as easy as i have so far this time - the first 2 days for me were shi!t but after that its been pretty much fine! you know how much i love my food, and how im quite obsessed with eating but im honestly not bothered about food 95% of the time - it rocks balls!

Good luck for ur start next week and well done on ur loss so far x

 

[MissMuNkY]

Thanks, I'm pretty excited to get going

So I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDiMVMWm4CY&feature=youtube_gdata_player (divster posted on another thread) and I like it, I had another big chat about the.weight with the OH and I said about weighing 4 weekly. I think it's a fab idea.

So you weigh day 1 to get your start weight, then 1 week later after being 100% to ensure it's working for you. Then you weigh at week 4, 8 and 12.

I will have a big night out around the 28th of August that I won't be missing so unfortunately won't be able to do 12 weeks with no gaps at all but when I come off plan I will go straight back on. there may be 1 or 2 other nights but they will be spread out with a good few weeks inbetween so I'm pretty pleased with that. I usually don't miss out on any nights with the girls bit this year I'm only doing special occasions, so really I've given myself the best chance.

5 days until my start date!!

i dont have the patience for 4 week weighing - but it seems to work for those who do! a girl i know from on here has lost 6 stone pretty quick and shes had nights off etc xxx

 

[MissMuNkY]

Amazing, I'm sure it will be hard to stay off them but I'm gonna try not to or at least if I do to remember its about the bigger picture. I will probbly need to get Marc to hide the scales as I can hop on them 2-3 times a day lol

I have been making plans for my 2 weeks off work so I should also be pretty busy. Got a few games to.complete on the xbox and some decorating to do. Plus a few days out with Kayla. It's also mine and Marcs anniversary 1 week on Monday and he has agreed to food outwith the plan to be involved, bless him. So have a nice time planned without evil food and booze lol

 

[leedsforever]

I am a daily weigh *doh* but I can see the concept working

Good luck x

 

[MissMuNkY]

Yep I'm a mega daily weigher, so it will be really hard!

Edit: Well I have also just ordered a shaker with a ball, as I noticed loads of people recommended one with a ball. Was £3.99 with free.delivery

Hey Lorna! Here to follow. Thanks for your super lovely comment on my diary. Lots of hugs, Sia xxxx

 

[MissMuNkY]

Your welcome, thanks for following always nice to have loads of support x

 

[Clareel]

Hi there thanks for the support in my dairy I did SW as well before but like you say too much food and can't be trusted lol. S&S has been a revelation for me! Defo good idea getting the shaker with the ball I love mine couldn't be doing with all this whisking, blending etc.

Good luck!

 

[MissMuNkY]

Totally, anything to make life easier even if it's just a little metal whisking ball. Thanks for popping by.

I weghed myself this morning and I weighed in at 16st 6.5lbs which is pretty good consideing my last weigh in for SW was 7 weeks ago now (I think) and I weighed 16st 6lb, so far that is only a 1/2lb gain, I was talking with OH again last night and I said to him I think my attitude towards food has changed from 6-9months ago... I definately do not binge eat like I used to and I allow myself to be hungry every so often. So I think the fact that I have been watching my weight on and off for the last 2 years has really made me change somethings without realising it. I still definately have a problem with food, but I was pleasently surprised to find that I have already picked up some good habits. Especially when out shopping and towards my snacking.

I really cannot wait to start S&S on Sunday, I really want to start today but there is no point doing it for a day to then come off for this conference, if I knew the people it would be okay but for the sake of a few days and my dignity I'll wait for Sunday.

My packs are here, got a wee red note from the postman. Gonna drive up and pick it up in around an hour

When I got my packs it was like opening a Xmas gift! Xxxxx

 

[MissMuNkY]

Sns dream team, brilliant.

Well I opened my box and I tried the chocolate truffa bar, OMG it was actually really chocolatey for a meal replacement bar. There was a point I was saying to myself maybe too chocolatey lol

I'm not a huge sweet tooth person but I did enjoy the bar although I don't think I could eat it all in one go, I'm sure that will change by Sunday when I'm starving lol

 

[clairem87]

the lemon white choc are my fave, but the choc truffas are amaaaazing too!

 

[MissMuNkY]

Tried the cafe latte shake too, I really liked it but will add more water next time as it was very think. Put some ice in it to make it like an iced cappucino type thing.

So I looked at the bar and went OMG this is to replace a meal, and I done the same with the shake. It's so hard for my brain to process that fact, however it hasn't put me off and I'm still looking forward to it. I won't be trying anymore of the things until Sunday and I will let you all know what I'm liking and what I'm not. I think I ordered 1 of everything except the chille and spaghetti as I wouldnt normally eat them but going to order them with my next pack to try anyway.
