Shaking it to slimdom!

[beth26]

Well I have caught your upset tummy!!!!!!!! Please take it back Beth . This was before I even started the shakes as well!!!!! Obviously a virus passed through Minimins lol

Bah.

Bloody Viruses! Fingers crossed my tummy hasnt been as bad, but i am definitely not suffering with constipation on this diet so far lol Hope your tummy feeling better now! xx

Forget to say that i didnt have my shake at work on Tuesday as was sooooo busy, so today was the first time using the shaker ( normally put in blender with ice at home) I mixed it up, drank most of it, but glad to have my choccy one in the blender tonight! Sometimes i cant believe i am still on this diet! I am so pleased! Does anyone else feel just to grateful not to be falling of the wagon?? Today at work ( I am a support worker with adults with dis) they had dominos, as our kitchen was closed....the smell was lovely, but i resisted, and then had to feed someone it.... i wasnt bothered! just kept sipping my water! As you know, no one but you all, knows i am doing this diet! My lodger friend was a little concerned as he has never seen me eat and hoped i wasnt having issues with eating! I assured him i didnt! And at work, i hid and had my shake, then lied about eating my sandwich really quickly! I know what you are all thinking! Just tell them, and i probably will, but when the weight has come off a bit more ( another stone) and they can see i am fine, and its all ok!

Going out for a drink tonight with Lodger friend ( sparkling water) and then got sons friend over all weekend, plus decorating to do, so going to be a busy one!

Hope everyone doing well and keeping focused! Beth xx

I was like that first time round with VLCD but to be honest now I don't give a hoot what anyone thinks! This works for me where everything else didn't and I have the last laugh when I'm shimmying about in a size 12. x

Hey Beth, yeh still here Thanks for checking on me.. Just a manic week this week! Still going strong although finding it a bit tougher, feeling hungry, really missing carbs.. Would love a piece of toast or a pasta! Not giving in tho!! But am wondering if it's gets easier or harder as time goes by? Does there come a point when you don't feel hungry and just get into a routine? Hope everyone is having a good weekend, they can be the hardest at times!! Xx

Nix are you drinking plenty? I had peach with cherry blossom green tea today. It was really nice and refreshing. I have about 4 litres of drinks a day. I even have a glass of water when I get up in the night for a wee! Lately I have been getting up 3 times in the night lol x
ps it does get easier as the lbs melt away into stones x

 

[nixb24]

Thanks Jayne ! Yeh, I'm drinking around 2.5ltrs a day, plus I have a coffee in the morning and I usually use 300mls for my shakes. I'm not a leaf tea fan, but I'll give them a go. I'm not getting headaches, so it makes me think I'm drinking enough. But I think its because its week two and this lifestyle is starting to feel very real. I've completely cut out socialising at the moment, which helps me focus! And its good timing because all my friends are away on holiday at the moment. But I was just interested to know, especially from those that have done this kind of diet before, such as yourself, if it becomes easier as time passes. Not that I'm suffering too much, just interested really.

I'm going home to South Africa to surprise my parents and siblings for xmas this year. We've not shared a xmas for 10 years (I always go in feb because its cheaper). The excitement and emotion I feel at the thought of walking into my aunts house on xmas day whilst my entire family are about to sit down for xmas lunch, overwhelms me and that is my number 1 goal here. My family have seen me grow and grow over the years, and I want to go home and show them the me that I feel I am inside, on the outside. And I cant wait. And having a baby sometime in the near future too... I want to be happy and healthy for that. These are the things I think of when I'm feeling low or like I need a food fix.

Fantastic incentives Nix! Stick on here and we will make sure you don't spoil your weight loss surprise for the family x I promise x if I can do it for 10 months you will not have a problem either honest! Your biggest problem will be not telling them how much weight you've lost before they see you x

 

[beth26]

Hey everyone! firstly! Congratualtion on the 9lb loss Jneedham!!! how fantastic!!!

Nix....glad you ok! I know i am the same, but we are doing soooo great, and that toast wont taste as good as the feeling of ur next great loss!! I cant tell you the food i am resisting, and the chances i have to eat some food, its sooooo hard!! But just trying to stay numb to it all!! And your goals for losing it are just going to be magical!! Are you still peeing on the sticks? i am not so obsessed as i was lol! I did a sneaky weigh this morning, lost some more, so all good for another loss this week! Plus i go back to RC club on thurs, and cant wait to see instructors face, as havent been as she is on holiday for couple of weeks, and my weight was yoyo'ing from 20 to 19 for 6 months....be good to return and be in the 18's!! yeyy!!( be even nicer if the fat fairy came and put me in the 12's hehe)

hope all well!! xx

 

[loopyloulou]

Hahahaha Beth, hope the fat fairy appears my lovely.

Jneedham....... 4 litres! Blimey woman, are you EVER off the toilet? I can manage 2 litres quite easily, but need my coffee and mint teas as well.

Nix, I did cambridge about 4 years ago for 4 months but ended up failing miserably because I was cheating myself at the end. Thats why I decided (after much weight gain) to give stw a go and have a small meal in the evening instead of tfr as I know I need the food bit as a kind of treat at the end of the day. Does that make sense? Where in SA do your family live? I have family in Jo'burg. My dad lived most of his childhood out there.

Well I am off to work again now. Ihave my salad for dinner later and just had a strawberry shake which was surprisingly tasty. Will check in on here during the night. Have a good evening everyone

Thanks Jayne, that means so much! Super to have you ladies and this app.. Makes the whole thing so much easier!!

 

[nixb24]

Ha ha Beth, me toooo!! I hope the fat fairy visits all of us and steals loads of pounds this week lol

 

[nixb24]

Charlie - yes that makes complete sense and also how I think about it. I wish I could do the TFR but I just can't seem to do it. But as long as I'm sticking to the VLCD plan, I'm happy!

My family live in Cape Town, well just outside that anyway. That's awesome about your family and Dad too, small world! Good luck for your night shift and enjoy your salad!

 

[loopyloulou]

Salad was amazing!!!!

 

[beth26]

Morning everyone! Hope you breezed through ur shift Loopy! So did anyone have a fairy visit them? haha

After resisiting choc buttons, pizza, crisps, sweets, alcohol..... in fact you name it, i have resisted it these couple of days, i realised last night that on STW i could actually have an evening meal! So last night i had some quorn chicken pieces and some lettuce! Not bad i think, and im back on shakes today! To be honest I can honestly say that these shakes are so nice, i would still want one when i am in slimdom! Anyway i really wanna get some weight of this week, as see my RConley lady on thurs, and going to be such a good feeling to get on those scales and have lost, after failing since Jan! xx

 

[loopyloulou]

Morning all. Fat fairy poked head around door and buggered off again. I tried to get her to stay, but she didn't want to know

Work good despite the biscuits shouting at me all night. I resisted though so feeling chuffed.

Have a good Sunday

You'll be getting us loads of new forum buddies once you tell them how you have done it and how easy it's been! At the end of the day when you look at this weight loss programme and any other that you've done you're not exactly going hungry are you? Ketosis is awesome and natural! x
