Roxys Weight Loss Journey :)

[XxroxyredsxX]

Hi Everyone!
My names Roxy and I am on day 3 of the lipotrim diet!

I'm currently 120kg (on my first weigh in) and I want to get down to around 78 kg or a dress size 12 depending on what weight that is... so I've got a long way to go.

I'm going to be 30 next year in August and I feel like I can't meet anyone special since I got out of my last relationship 3 years ago because I've been leading the party life and being crazy and have subsequently piled on a huge amount of weight.

Anyway, new leaf now. My aim and motivation is to be slim by the time I turn 30 for myself and to be healthy. No major health issues at the moment apart from consistent heartburn!

So day 1, it wasn't too bad. I had a headache pretty much all day (not splitting) but a co codamol got rid of that. I had a black coffee at my friends house and she put a sugar in instead of sweetener... and then in the evening I went to the pub with my housemate. I had no intention of drinking and did in fact have a water. But I started to feel really shaky so I caved and had a vodka and diet coke. I had 4 drinks all together. I didn't eat anything though.

Day two I stuck to the diet religiously. Felt ok, not grouchy or anything. Actually, I've noticed I feel really cold. Like, chilled to the bone cold!!
I also had the will power of a Trojan when my house mates ordered takeaway!!!
I kept busy, tidied my room, hoovered which almost never happens!

Day 3, I had a job interview this morning. Felt really on the ball and smiley and hopefully I nailed it! I'm just sat with my housemate now, feeling extremely cold. No headache, had my shake at 10.30. Just had my black coffee with 2 sweeteners

I'm not busy for the next few days so hopefully I'll be able to stick and not be tempted by any take aways. McDonald's is the worst for me. I would put money on there being something addictive in the sauce!!

I will keep you all posted

Big loves

Hi Roxy! You've made a good start; good luck with the job and the diet. It's bloody hard at times but it will be worth every effort you make and you will notice a difference within weeks!

Good luck

Thanks Derry!
To add, I GOT THE JOB! Squee!! ) happy bunny!

I went to Costa with my friend and had a black Americano with 2 sweeteners, it helps with the feeling cold! But I feel like I have conquered day 3 even though I had slips on day 1.

Wow you must have blew their socks off to get the call the same day lol! Well done.

Great start though I will caution alcohol in ketosis and suggest you read the stickies. The important thing is to draw a line under the past (even if the past was a fridge raid 10mins ago) and keep going. This is a very mental journey and you can and will do this if you really want it.

Congrats on the job! Great news

Good luck

So, my will power might be rock solid when it comes to food, but I can't turn down a sociable evening in the pub. I think because I was buzzing with the new job, my housemate harassed me and fear of missing out, off I went.
Still, been good today so far and plan to keep on going and hopefully get through a day without any kind of slip hahaha! Also been running up and down the stairs with ikea furniture! Random, but my heart was racing and I actually felt fitter than I did last week!

I have been getting heartburn and have had to have gaviscon. I bet that had knocked me out of ketosis anyway...

Does anyone know?

 

[JoanieK]

I wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage just focus on 100% and you'll be grand.

Thanks Joanie!
So today I am absolutely craving like I've never craved anything in my life. I can't cope! I'm sat not really watching a TV series day dreaming about Chinese takeaway.
I've never experienced any kind of crave as bad as this. I have no idea how I'm going to get through it!

Looking at skinny pictures, looking at the scales at what I've already lost in 4 days isn't helping.

You are too strong to take orders from a craving, you can do this!

What can I do? Drink water?

 

[Derry]

It's hard as hell but keep at it as all that will pass. Keep drinking plenty of water and I promise you if you make it through the first couple of weeks doing it 100% you will be astonished at how much you have lost, changed and are craving less and less.

Like I say, it's easier to say than do but we've all been there so trust us, we know exactly what you are going through!

Good luck
