Hi all,
I thought I'd start a diary here as have been reading avidly for a few weeks and seeing how well everyone is doing is helping me!
A little bit about me: I've been around since last summer now, trying different diets - W8, JUDDD, CD and Slimming World - but have realised that the only way for me to address my issues with food is to go for a vlcd. So here I am, back on CD.... and really wanting to do it!!
I'm currently on day 8, having lost 5lbs in my first week - not as impressive as others, but I'm pleased!! I have never lost more than 7lbs in a week before, so maybe I just lose slightly slower than others - who knows!!
I've also started going to the gym - new year, new me (although slightly belated!!). I've been today and completed an hour and a half with a personal trainer. It was only my first time with her, so she was showing me what to do too!! I'm mostly concentrating on weights and 'toning' exercises to start off with as theseare what she said would be best for weight loss, as well as throwing some yoga/pilates and maybe a bit of swimming into the mix. I am only on ss, but have the full support of my CDC in going to the gym fairly often.
I'm moving to Germany at the beginning of June so am desperate to get to goal by then. I have 2.5 st to lose to get to goal so am hoping the combination of the 2 will get me there.
However, I am in need of some support and a kick up the a*se every now and then!! No-one knows I'm on this diet except my husband who is currently in Germany, so am finding it pretty hard going.... :sigh:
Ive been nibbling today.... dont even know why :break_diet:am not hungry and am feeling pretty rubbish about it all now. Am determined to get back on track tomorrow and carry on.... hopefully wont affect my weight loss for this week and weigh in not until Friday so am keeping everything crossed that I can undo any damage I've created by then.
I am going to try and keep on posting here every day..... if nothing else to keep my hands busy so they don't go wandering into the kitchen!!! Feel free to comment on anything I might say!!
Ok, rambling over (for now at least!!), Am off to bed, tomorrow is a new day. Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.
