Hi all...
I am new to this forum and as I am determined to lose weight after so many times I have done "THE DIET"... and lost my will..

Firstly my name is Nikki... 33 years old and 5ft 7.
At the moment I am weghing in at 15 st:cry:

soooo... I decided to do a diary as this forum has made me even more determined to fight my flab!:eek:

I started to put a lot of weight on after I lost my 6 year old son in 2005.. wont go into detail but it was sudden and very tradgic. To then I drank 3 bottles of wine a night and ate and ate ( the tablets the doc put me on did not help) they made me want to eat:(

anyway... after a year since my son passed I was up to nearly 20 stone.. heaviest I have ever been.

I decided I needed to lose weight and after stopping drinking ( not touced a drop in over 4 and a half years) I lost some weight.. then got pregnant twice (everytime I started a diet!:eek:)...

sooo now I am totally devoted to losing weight and I am now 15 stones I am proud that I lost what I have but want to lose a lot more and would love to make new friends on my weight journey!!!

so thats the low down on me..and I shall be doing my diary daily!

And nice to meet you all!!!!:eek:
 
so today was good!

Breakfast was a small bowl of special k skimmed milk
Lunch was a tine of tuna, onion, cucumber, tomato and very low fat ceaser dressing, black pepper and 2 crisp breads.. ww yoghurt and an apple..
Tea was a very small bowl of curry and rice

Lots of water and green tea..

2 hours on my walking machine.. ( legs hurt):p

nothing now shall pass my lips until morning!!:eek:
 
Hey Nikki, 5 stone lost you must be so proud :) you're moving even closer to your ideal weight every day now by the sounds of things. One thing though try to have low calorie foods like fruit or something in your house so you can eat if you fancy eating, your comment about nothing else passing your mouth sounds like hard work, and if you had very low calorie snacks you probabally could eat if you wanted to :)

From reading your posts you sound like you're eating very healthy. Bet you're feeling good for it, even aside from your great weight loss! Also well done on stopping drinking alcohol too :) sky's the limit now!
 
Hi lovlies... this is todays menu...:eek:

Breakfast was small bowl special k and skimmed milk.. 2 cups of green tea and a glass of water

Lunch was another bowl of special k skimmed milk( didnt fancy anything) 2 apples and a ww yoghurt.
lots of water and green tea in between
2 hours on my walking machine before lunch

dinner will be cajun chicken breast with a jacket spud and salad.. an orange for after.

hope your all well!!
 
Well done on losing 5st Willowniven, thats an amazing achievement in itself. You sound very positive despite all the awful things you have been through, im sure you will get the better of your weight, and you are halfway there anyway which is fantastic.

Good luck with it, will look forward to reading your updates!

Hiya Willow!
Nice to see its all coming along well. Shame about the disappointing weigh in but I think you have found out why! I love Myfitnesspal too, its my best friend at the moment I swear. I find it really helps regulate when and what you should be eating, and its so handy how it has a lot of normal branded english foods on it. When I first got it I thought It would all be American.
Good luck! And fingers crossed for next WI, I bet its massive.
 
Just came across your diary and that's great news about the size 18 coat, bet that felt amazing! :) Sounds like you are getting on really well with the food etc so keep up the good work!
 
well I am soooo sore!!
I am doing lots of boxing.. and my back hurts ouch! weigh in day is next wednesday.. I dont hop on the scales on a daily basis anymore yay!!:eek:

Just had a egg white omlette for brekkie, for a change, lunch is 1 slice of toast with half a can of low fat beans!
dinner will be cod in parsley sauce, sweet potato roasts, sprouts, carrots, peas and sweetcorn..

I am more motivated now.. dont seem to be hungry either!!

Hope your all well!
 
Well things still going great here...:)
I am not thinking I am dieting anymore.. more a lifestyle change.. and healthy eating.. works better for me.

I am now down to 14st 6lbs...:D and have more determination than ever!

I use my wii fit plus on a daily basis.. one or two hours a day.. My legs hurt after but hey ho no pain no gain!!

Hope your all ok:)
