Hiya,
Err, where to start? Iv been lurking on this site for a while, finally took the plunge to join!
Im Bex and i have one 2.5 yr old son (Rhys) and iv been overweight, for pretty much as long as i can remember.
I have had one period of body confidence- i was 21, working in a decent job, and spent more time out dancing & drinking than thinking about food. I got down to i think my slimmest, about 13stones, and then i met my husband to be.
Settling down, getting comfy, steaming plates of pasta carbonara and then a bottle of wine, i stacked it back on and got up to 16 st.
Then i got pregnant and in aug 09, my lovely son arrived. My weight did not help my pregnancy although i was generally healthy all the way through.
Now, hes 2. Im still overweight and fluctuate between 16-18 stones.
Im ready to lose this weight, once and for all, especially as we are getting married in June!!
I want to be 14 stone for my wedding. I want to wear a bikini for my honeymoon.
More importantly, I want to have a good, healthy lifestyle where i dont feel limited by my weight, to teach my son that pain isnt lessened by biscuits.
I have done cambridge diet but my head was not in the right place, Iv since been following a low carb diet, cross between atkins/ Idiot proof diet.
Iv been doing a mix of total solution days and working solution days, and i seem to be approx 5lbs down already.
Im currently on day 4 total solution - and im intending to TS until 31st May.
Here goes.
 
Hi, I am starting again today but was on exante for 2 months last year and lost 33lbs so you should easily lose 2 stone by June. Anyway good luck, I am sure that if you stay strong you will lose the 2 stone ans more.

Thankyou Claire
Im currently 17st so have 3 st to get off but im feeling motivated and i can do this!
 
Hunny if your doing ts you will lose a lot more than 2 stone by may xxx
 
That's meant to be three lol
 
I was given some ketostix by a friend who recently did CD & found them useful, but I'm on for day 5 now total solution & I have not cheated (the scales gone down again this morning!!) so why won't they change? They are still beige!
Iv been reading on mins about them & I won't let it get me down but I would like them to change!!
 
I'm a bloody idiot. Cooked dinner for Rhys and somehow ended up eating a fishcake. 300 calories. Potatoes, breadcrumbs, carbs!! Why was I so stupid?
 
just put the fish cake behind you, it is a mini slip. Maybe the ketostix are out of date? I am just finishing day two today and I have found it really easy today, yesterday was a nightmare. I have been thinking about ketosis, and wonder if I can just buy them from a chemist...I wish everyone good luck and just keep trying, think one day at a time. I am thinking one stone at a time, I have 4 and half to go, seems an impossible dream x
 
Week 1, not succeeded at being 100% but iv tried and it's the trying that's important.
Weigh in today and I'm 16'12, so 4 lbs down. I'm very pleased with that, especially as after my fishcake incident I fell head first into the quality street left over from Christmas! They have now been locked away but even though I binged, I didn't eat as much as I would have prior to starting this diet as a 'treat' so I'm not beating myself up!
Here goes week 2 and again I'm aiming for 100% TS.
 
Hi Bex, that's a great losing considering your little slip ups. Just put it behind you and move on, I'm sure the majority of us have slipped at times, I know I have. I had a slice of DSs birthday cake on Sunday although it was the tiniest sliver.

Stay strong :)
