No matter how hard you try to lose weight, sometimes you just gotta eat the Oreos ;)

Good Afternoon,

Thought I would start a diary / journal on here not sure anybody will want to hear my rubbish but well well here you go lol!

I am now on day 8 on induction and things are going well weight loss wise. I weighted in on day 7 and lost 6.2 lbs so very please with that and I know I shouldn't of but I did go on the scales this morning and down another 3 lbs I am not going to get over excited though I know the scales do tend to go up and down from day to day so will wait till next Monday before jumping to much for joy!

I am confectioner so had to nip into Elgin for 50 kilos of Sugar for this weeks sugar and needed a few bits and pieces. My oh is off work so he was with me we nipped in to Asda and bought a rotisserie chicken for lunch and it was sooooo good really really enjoyed it and the best part I am finding it being aloud to eat the skin!!!!!!!

I then had a atkins friendly hot choc teaspoon of cocoa, some cinnamon couple of sweeteners and cream. For something sweet and hot that I can have it was really nice.

So diet wise things are moving along nicely.

Hi, welcome to the diaries!! Confectioner eh? Mmm i have such a sweet tooth looking forward to some of your sugar free sweetie suggestions! The hotchocolate sounds good well done on the losses so far x

Hi Takeme and welcome - fantastic losses so far, was that on VLCD?

 

[coffeelover]

Welcome T, wow you've done amazingly well.

Hi Takeme and welcome - fantastic losses so far, was that on VLCD?

I have been following Atkins

Thank you for the lovely welcome yes a confectioner if I could find a way of making my fudge sugar free I think I would be a millionaire lol (one day)

Just had Cookies Detecting!

Was a bit salty for my liking but still really nice perhaps it would not have been as salty if I have rice with it however that would not have been the Atkins way!!!!! lol

 

[ladyfelsham]

Wow that's a brilliant loss on Atkins, excellent going

 

[slaj]

Hello and welcome, good luck

 

[takemedrunkimhome]

Good Morning everybody

How are you all today?

I am up and working so thought I would take a minute while having breakfast to post my diary for yesterday lol

Yesterday food wise I got up and had half a mathiesons original spoked sausage for my early pre 5am breakfast
then at half 10 I have 7 slices of streaky bacon
at half 2pm I have 3 fried egg with some more spoked sausage fried with it.
at 6.30pm I had mini meat balls made with just some chopped onion and chilli flakes with a big dollop of mayo on the side.

Drinks I had water and one hot chocolate.

Today I am sitting eating the filler free sausages my butcher made for me and they are amazing.

 

[tazbabe]

and welcome, you are doing great! must be difficult witha all your produce around you!!

 

[buffy07]

Hello, I am from Elgin as well and starting induction today (again!). I wondered where you got your sausages?

 

[Scrumbles]

Wow...you're a confectioner and you're doing Atkins? I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that would be for me - you must have a will of iron!

Massive congrats on that huge weight loss - amazing!

 

[takemedrunkimhome]

Hello, I am from Elgin as well and starting induction today (again!). I wondered where you got your sausages?

Hello,

I get mine from Rothes Butcher she does ask that you take a fairly large order but I have put them in my freezer so not really a problem

 

[takemedrunkimhome]

Thank you very much.

When I first started with the business in April I ate heaps and then my teeth started to get sore and my weight loss kind of stopped and because we are getting married in July I had to knock the nibbling of fudge on the head big time!

 

[ladyfelsham]

This is like food porn -:4635:fudge mmmm fudge....

I salute you and your strength to resist - that's brilliant!

 

[takemedrunkimhome]

Breakfast as you know was suasages
Lunch was half small roast bbq chicken from asda Cookies Detecting!

Had this for my tea tonight it was nice but omg is nearly blew my head off with spice lol

 

[ladyfelsham]

You are having lots of veg, yes? Just being a nervous mother lol - completely unnecessary, I know, as you have done brilliantly so far Much better than me!

 

[sammy1]

Hi and welcome, only noticed your diary now so popping in to say hello......sorry I can't view your links from my phone.....something about cookies! Enjoy your weekend.

 

[takemedrunkimhome]

in fairness ladyfelsham no I didn't have any yesterday

 

[takemedrunkimhome]

Good Afternoon everybody

Been a funny kind of day was at a farmers market this morning selling my produce so had bacon before I left this morning made a flask of decaf tea and cream to take with me to keep warm! and also brought 2 baby bells to keep me going.

When I came home I had half an original smoked sausage warmed up in the micro was so good!

Going to my mums house to tea tonight so I am hoping she has made something atkins friendly.

Oh oh oh and my ketostix arrived while I was out this morning, just checked my self and I am currently in the 4th box
0.4 g/l
4 mmol/L
40 mg/dl
does anybody know what any of that actually means? regardless I am in ketosis and very happy about it lol. Does it mean the further up the scale you go the quicker you loose weight?

Hope everybody is having a lovely weekend x

 

[moonlights]

Nope - as long as you're showing pink on the stick you'll be in ketosis and burning fat for fuel (this is all ketosis means - you can be in ketosis and not lose weight). You won't lose faster for seeing a darker color - its actually not preferable to hit the very darkest tones, it can mean you're dehydrated.
