Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

[Siobhan]

I've been AWOL and done some serious damage, I'm back in the 13's

Starting with a personal trainer tomorrow so think I will start a diary too.

I bet if felt amazing!! My boyfriend goes away next week for 8 weeks so I'm aiming for a big change for when he comes home x

I've been bad the past 2 days too. Can see myself back into the 200's in the next few days if I don't bloody rein it back in!!

What a great motivation - in 8 weeks you can lose enough to look very different! Good for you! X

Missthomas, sit tight...I know it's disheartening - but I bet next week you'll see a nice big loss. Do u weigh once a week? X

So I went to my local supermarket today (haven't been there for a while as usually online shop!) And one of the ladies we always chat to that works there walked past me and said hi to my husband and son. She said she was just about to ask hubby where I was this eve when she realised that it was me. She said she hardly recognised me as I'd lost a lot of weight. Bless her, she totally made my week!!! X

Love this so much! Good for you!!

 

[Siobhan]

So, I managed to lose a total of 41lbs in time for my 30th birthday. I felt fabulous!

Having easter and my birthday, I am now struggling to get back on. Tomorrow the first day back. I weighed today and my new 'starting' weight is 198.8lbs.

I can't believe I stayed under 200lbs despite the 'damage' I have done the past couple of weeks.

I hope you are all well! Xx

This happens to me too!! Did you take it on your phone? I edit mine in my phone and just spin it around before uploading it xx

 

[MissThomas]

Have you had your BPC? I added cream to mine today xx

 

[Siobhan]

I will be getting some coconut oil today, so will give it a go tomorrow morning. Do u find it keeps you fuller for longer? I've had my normal morning black coffee, we have run out of bacon!!! So just eggs for brekkie, I think I will skip and grab something after I have dropped Harrison to Nursery.

Weighing today at 196.6lbs - 2 more stones until my goal. But honestly, I think I'd like to lose a little more once I'm there...we will see. I've never been small anyway, so I don't know how I'd feel haha!
The sun is shining and that right there is motivation enough to keep me on track-I really want to be slim for summer this year! X

It hasn't stopped me from being hungry but that might just be the monthly munchies I'm struggling with!! It stopped me having to put sweeteners in so that's a bonus I suppose.

Yeah it's sunny here too and wanting to fit into last summers clothes is a big motivation but also depressing that I'm so much bigger than just 12 months ago

Have you tried the ketosticks? Can't remember if I've asked? Xx

Yes I have used ketostix, I loved them. It was always nice to see it turn a lovely shade of purple and know I was in fat burning mode. Might get some more actually, I had to throw the last lot away as they expire after 6 mth of opening. X

 

[Siobhan]

So did a shop last night so we've got lots of bits n pieces in now.
Anyone shop at aldi? Any must haves I should buy?
Sausages wise, we usually get tesco finest as they are 1.5g per 2 sausages. Aldi's Lincolnshire sausages are 0.8g per sausage so much the same. 6 for 1.99 - works out same price as finests 3 for a tenner.

Setting myself a mini goal to get me back on... by late may bank holiday I want to have lost at least 10lbs and be down to 186. That gives me a month, so I am hoping to smash that! Lol.

Brekkie will be bacon and eggs (standard) with a black coffee. (Aldi don't sell coconut oil, so will grab some when next at asda or tesco) x

Didnt weigh this morning as didnt seem worth it seeing as I ruined yesterday lol - Will weigh in on Tuesday. Hoping to see a lb go at least!

 

[Siobhan]

OK, so I'm not going to lose the 10lbs I wanted to by next week lol...but I am however, in the 13's! I just need to stay in them now (until I enter the 12's of course!)

Hope everyone is well, sorry I have been neglecting this diary so much lately....I've been so busy job hunting as I'm redundant from next weekend it's so hard!!!
