Nikkis new york or bust diary....

[~nix~]

Well....

I lost two an half stone on exante but hit a wall....
I think it was the amount of carbs in them. I realy think im carb sensetive. This diets less carbs and has way more variety....

I got my loss in 2 months. But the last month ive messed about and in may i stayed the same weight..which is kinda good i know how to maintain.

But im off to spain in 5.5 weeks... hoping to loose another stone or more by then... and maintain in spain with lovely salads and stuff...

Then my big push...august and sept i want to lose another 2 stone coz on sept 29th im flying to new york for a week...

I want to be thin and lookin good so i can go shopping and buy something fantastic for my xmas party

My motivations new york. Currently im just over 15 stones....ive 4 months...( with my spain weeks invluded) to get back to loosing and make myself feel great again..

Hopefully this diets the one for me..


But thoughts please....
3 and a low carb meal or 4 packs a day gives better losses ?

Advice please?

I'd go for for 4 packs but I think many on here do 3 and a meal. If you're able to do 4 though why not?

 

[~nix~]

Coz i didnt get my packs till 3pm today..
And i was hungry at breakfast i had a mocha latte
(WAS 88 CAL AN 15 CARB) . I counted that as a meal.

Ive had a mixed berry shake-was quite nice
Crispy vanilla shake-not so keen
Chicken soup-really liked that...

Tomorrow im gonna have:
Hazlenut shake - lemon bar - curry - and mushroom soup.

Think i will try the stuff im gonna like first
So by tuesday i can know ehat i want to order for the month.

Hoping i can be well into ketosis by monday, and haveca decent loss this week. Though i know its not gonna be a biggie like a first week, coz ive been in and out of ketosis this last month..

Heres hoping

Meusili bar - omg its lovely i love that bar ....

Chilli - had this at tea with some zero rice...(half a pack 0 carbs, 0 fat or protein 4 calories )....was yummy...sooooo nice i felt like ive had a load of chilli now.

Hi Nik, I'm currently on CWP, but I'm moving over to S&S and reading your diary has really helped with my worries over not liking the products! It sounds like your doing great. I hope you reach your goals x

 

[~nix~]

Ive just bought another 5 weeks worth to see me to my holidays and for when i get back

Its a nice change choosing the flavours you like rather than just having to take what comes in the pack



Bought me some mouse mix too. Thinking i can do something with that and my milk allowances . To give me deserts

Todays menu

Breakfast - choc crispy shake
Lunch - mushroom soup
Tea - cottage pie an a little salad
Treat - lemon bar

Yumm all less than 600 cals
And keeps me nicely in ketosis

Great job done
