Hi all,
Well nearly thrugh day 1 & its been interesting!! Incredible how people are very mixed in responses! Most thankfuly supportive but some very negative. People in work can tell when I'm having a meal cos the whizzer I got from tesco makes so much noise!! Am now off work until Tues which is good as did feel uite wobbly & found it hard to concentrate this afternoon - prob pyschologcal but never mind! Doing Ok on the water but do feel like I'm glugging all the time & will get pay docked for all the loo paper I'm using & time for al the trips to the loo!! Have also realised how much food features in every day life...went to asda & just chanted "I can do this" all the way round!
Well done girlies on surviving week 1! Sorry you're feeing weak angel...are you in ketosis yet? Apparently it gets easier when you are...certainly hope so! Sounds like you are if breath different...did you have a "pop in" to pee on a stick? So far I've liked all the packs (rasp, choc, chicken (just!!) and caramel...) which is good but need to drink em quick cos they tasted funny otherwise! Anyone else find this? Great tto see you all loosig s much - really encouraging when you're at the start! How you all doing with the resolve? What strategies are people using to get through the hard times?

Hi Everyone

Thanks Wendy and Congrats on the stone gone, that is fantastic :clap::bliss:

Hopefilly... :wow:that is amazing weight loss :clap:

Welcome Caz:wavey:, It will soon get better and good luck with your first week.

Hi angel, the change of breath thing is a side effect of being in ketosis unfortunately. I was tired in my first week but I have been fine this week, so hopefully you will feel better soon. I don't know about the going red thing, I haven't experienced it but talk to your LLC about it tomorrow. Good luck with your first weigh in

Hi ISOM... Glad you have survived day one, it definately gets easier. I agree the packs have a bit of a funny after taste. Have you tried cooking any yet? I made a popadom today with a vege pack and it was lovely. My strategy... well the weight loss each week is a huge motivation for me, and in weak moment I just keep telling myself that this is only for a short time and it will be worth it when I'm at my goal.

Angel - engagement ring fits lovely now ... be a few stone before the eternity fits though, don't think I've been able to wear it for about 10 years.

ISOM - well done on getting through day 1, you'll be great - be in ketosis very soon.

Lol, Jocandy, getting pregnant, unexpected side-effect of losing weight and looking gorgeous!
Just started week 4, only 2lbs loss this week, hard not to be disappointed, even though that is 17lbs in 3 weeks! I also know that I have lost inches off everywhere, my blood pressure is down, I have more energy and feel in control for the first time in years.

Got some bars tonight and just had one , that was good made me feel like I had something in my tummy and hopefully will sleep better tonight.Don't feel as cold today ,in fact better all round.
my breath is nasty too but the LLC reckons this will pass in a couple off weeks
Hope you feel better soon

Well done girlies, thats great! Like Sam I'm off work until Tues thank goodness! JUst off to have a bath & then to tip - just cleaned house of food! Gave a load away but some "bits" left! Need to try & find bits & bobs in tesco (one I find the names here!) of stuff that I can have! Kitchen (like my tummy!) very empty but tidier!

 

[katie_oxo]

Good on you ISOM - the best thing about what you've done is that you won't be able to eat all the things that might have been 'bad' for you even when you start eating food again - you'll have to buy in all the good stuff.

Re the food you can have all I can think of is tabasco sauce, salt, pepper, tea, coffee, peppermint tea, green tea and tablet sweetener.

[Oiseau]

Well done ISOM, that's so good to get rid of all the food!

Littleblue, I've just started week 4 as well and only lost 2lb in week 3, so you're not the only one!! Just have to keep focusing on the goal (and hopefully next week's weigh-in will be better for both of us!).

Well done samseal on the weigh-in, that's fab, and good luck to Angel for today's!

Morning Everyone

Well done SamSeal and Angel on the fantastic 1st week loss. Don't you just love LL

 

[In search of me]

Well done ALL...makes the excruciating agony of not eating worthwhile! Now on day 3 & think I'm in ketosis - stick told me I am a plum color which is a def change from the first color yesterday! Mouth feels like cardboard, breath bad so must be true!!
One side effect is that I really am finding out who my friends are! Had three lovely phone messages from my best mate (made me cry!) - first one her singing (she really shouldnt!!) "dont give up", second from godchild #1 screaming "you can do it" and third from godchild #2 (with mummy encouragement!) saying "you can do it..I love you!!"..if you could wrap it & sell it you coud pay for LL!! Have woek up to a headache so have booked a hot stones massage (thank god my insurance money came through this week!!) for this afternoon and must tidy the house as it still looks like a bombs hit it! Cats are also going to "benefit" from the pampering regime and are having nails done & a strip wash when I get the cat shampoo!! They cant wait!! It feels really odd with the kitchen empty - open the fridge and there awaits...mineral water!! Dont forget the marigold swiss stock you can have - its YUMMY!! Doing Ok with the packs and just have mushroom & vegitable ones to try! I love the spicy one..even got little chunks to chew! Will def try making things soon but wanted to get in vague routine first. Am having 1 for brekkie, splitting one for elevenses and four and them one at lunch at at about 8pm & seems to work well!
Hoe you all doing?

 

[angelxx]

Hi everyone,had my first bar this morning it was nioce having something to bite on but taste could be worked on,
i got given homework at my weigh in last night what's all that about? i recon it's a ploy to keep us busy so we don't think of food to much!!
i popped to m&s to return a size 18 skirt as it was to big!!! horray.
1 week down 13 to crack for a slim and feeling good summer, i am not buying anymore clothes until i am at my desired weight as it would be a waist of money, so i am just browsing at the moment !! speak to you all later as i am off to sort the housework and washing outxx

 

[In search of me]

Just posted my photos in the gallery...theres fat ole me but thats past - onwards & upward! Can feel the difference already; mentally feeling postive (know this will be up & down!) and physically def feel slimmer in my waist!...also just had 1/ veg soup - yuck! Hope mushroom (my final one to try!) is better! So far the sweet packs are def nicer, except for Thai one which is yummy!

 

[SoonBeSlim... It'sTrue!]

Hi Folks,

Blimey, I can't keep up with everybody that's doing so well in March. Congratulations to you all, we will be slimmer by summer :clap: :clap: :clap:

Had my weigh in Saturday and lost 1 Stone in 2 weeks, 2 days! Chuffed to pieces does not even get close to how I feel. No rest for the wicked however am dreaming of getting the next stone off.

Sorry to hear some of you are feeling a little rough, it will get better. Don't give in now. Think of how in control you are (and the lovely clothes you will be able to wear)

Take Care all :wavey:

 

[Wendy]

Well done SoonBe, thats brilliant :clap: :clap:


I went to a pop-in session this evening and have lost another 4lbs, so thats 18lbs in 18 days
