Total Solution Mere's Diary

Well done mere

 

[Mere]

Watched a program about plastic surgery in the pub last night. A woman who dropped 5 dress sizes and looked about a size 10 now was having surgery because her face ended up so wrinkly that at 47 years old she looked at least 20 years older. She was wearing a very loose top which suggested to me her body was probably very flabby with loose skin. Just mentioning this here as a warning to people to be careful about what you are doing as the weight can come off really rapidly with these vlcd programs. Remembered what ED saying about people telling her she looked gaunt on an earlier diet. If you are reading this ED you certainly don't look gaunt now! x

I watched that Mere I couldn't believe she was only 47 it was her face it looked so much older then 47 - hope you are keeping well x

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

Mere that is so apt. That's the problem with vlcd, especially if you have a lot to lose or are older. It just takes the skin too long to revover in either circumstance
It has always worried me, as I am on the wrong side if 40 and still have alot to lose
I dread saggy skin, hence my obsession with the gym, to help limit any sagging..... I hope !!!

Oh Marge...I worry about saggy boobs! I had huge ones to start and as I have lost I have worried that they are just saggy. I can't weight until I get really close to where I want to be and then I am off to a specialist bra shop to be measured and buy good quality underwear. I am hoping that will be as good as a boob job

Had a lovely dinner out. No starter, chicken tempura and salad for main with ice cream and banana for dessert. Drank 1 very small glass of wine as I opted to drive. Now feel really bloated. Wore a favourite outfit from last summer but it is too big and made me look quite fat!

 

[ED.]

Interesting about the poor woman who aged with the weightloss! Thank you for the compliment Mere

More great choices from you there, I'm glad you enjoyed and are continuing to just do so so well at this! I'm sure you did not look fat at all! You can't look fat if you are not fat, but you can feel that way and it is nothing but a crooked thought. I'm sure you looked fantastic xx

Thanks ED I think we can all have a skewed body image. My daughter is a size 8/10 and sees herself as fat! She has a very slight tummy after having two c sections but is very slim. 5ft 7 and weighs 9st 2lbs. I suppose for someone in their sixties I am ok but I would like to be a little slimmer but will work on that next month. x

Many Happy Returns Mere, hope you're having a fab day xx

Just got a tub of the Elderflower and Wine flavouring from Exante and I love it. Used 2 teaspoons which was a bit sweet for me but will try it with one next time. Found it did not mix in well so will mix 1 spoonful with a little water then add more water to taste. I can see I will be ordering more of it although I don't think it will ever be a substitute for white wine!
Hope you are all having a good day x.

I have the white wine water flavouring from slim & save and I think it's more like elderflower too, it's lovely, makes a nice change

 

[Shrimp]

Sounds good Mere

Have put on a few pounds and am now 10st 1lb. So I will be having 20 days of TS to get those pounds back off. I will be staying at my son's so no scales for three weeks!
Determined to keep my weight down to a level I am happy with. I have all my shakes and bars packed along with my gym gear!

 

[Lois]

Good afternoon Mere.

Sounds like you're doing well with the maintaining as 3lbs isn't lots to put on, but well done for wanting to nip it in the bud xx

 

[Mere]

Day one of TS started with one of the new flavoured shakes - chocolate mint yummy!

 

[Mere]

Day two of TS started. Had to have an extra pack during the night as I couldn't sleep for hunger! Still count that as 100 percent TS. Luckily I packed a few extra shakes and will be down to three packs once ketosis kicks in. Hope everyone has a lovely slim day. x

Brilliant choice mere xxx have a slim day too xxx

 

[Mere]

Have just finished 45 mins of P90X. Sweating like a pig but feeling great. Couldn't do all the moves but never stopped. Endorphins have kicked in and I no longer feel hungry. Hopefully a 3 pack day.
