Sues diary.

[suemal]

Right I last dieted around 4 years ago I was on the CD and I did ok lost around 3st.Then I got married in Vegas lost the plot a bit and in the November went back to Vegas for my 40th and came back pregnant with number 5!
Now Freddie was a big suprise to us and I stopped working to look after him full time.Nearly 3 years on and I've got myself in a right old rut.Ive not put vast amounts of weight on but at 17st I know I've got to do something.I want to wear a nice pair of f£&koff shoes (sorry for the wording) and my poor feet just can't do that and carry my bulk.
Im in size 18 jeans at a push but if I'm honest I look like a bag of spuds.My stamina isn't too great neither,I've just come back from center parcs and I was knackered with all the walking.
I woke up yesterday and decided it was now or never and I want to be around when all my kids have kids of their own and the way I'm going that ain't gonna happen.So packs ordered and coming today,I've done 1 litre of water and some coffee and I await my milkshakes.
Hope you'll all stay with me on this journey and now I've started this diary I'll be shamed to keep it up lol.
i do warn you all though I've a couple of trips planned very soon so that'll be a test,but we'll see ow we go.xxx Suexxx soon to be yummy mummy of 5 X

Welcome and Good Luck with your journey Sue.
Sounds like your head's in the right place and that is the key to this.

2 litres of water down,1 porridge and 1 vanilla shake down,and I've got indigestion and hot flushes lol.Cracking!
Things can only get better

 

[suemal]

Right I know I shouldn't really weigh myself every day but I couldn't help it.I thought if I'd lost a lb it would give me a bit of motivation.Well this morning I jumped on the scales(poor scales)and I've lost 4.5lbYEY!!!! For me.I know it's just water but Christ that's a lot of water,plus my face looks a lot less puffy.Bring on the wrinkles.I don't really have wrinkles as I figured my fat bits smooth them out .Now where's my porridge?

 

[headdown]

Woo hooo, found your diary x x x

 

[suemal]

Day 2,and I'm making the tea for everyone and I could eat a scabby horse at the moment.I don't think im hungry,I think it's just the thought of eating,hopefully feeling will go soon.Ive bought coke zero so I'll have a treat tonight.oh! I make the porridge biscuits today lol.That was an experience,took me 45 mins to eat them and about a litre of water.
Does anyone know how much is too much water to have,I'm on my 4th litre,and I don't want to over do it.

Good afternoon and welcome Sue. :hug99: xx

Have no idea about the water. I aim to drink 3-4L a day

 

[suemal]

That's ok then about the water,I've got a banging head now though

 

[Lois]

Yeah I think it's something to do with getting into ketosis, I found anadin extra helped me through the first week.

Morning Sue

It sounds like you are doing really well, so keep up the good work. I think the first weigh in is a moment that will help us all to keep going.

Day 4 and woke of needing food I think,but I will resist.On a plus note I stood on the scales and I'm now 16st 7lb,that's 8lb off That can't be right can it?

 

[Lanarkwitch]

Hey well done, and it is right!! We get this reward in week 1 to keep us mildly sane whilst resisting temptation every minute of the day, you are doing amazingly well so far Sue xxx

On the water front, I drink a lot of coffee and coke zero as well as the bouillon, the bouillon helps with the light headedness and dizzyness as with all the water we're drinking we lose a lot of salt as well so try and see if that helps a bit. I've since cut down my water to 2 litres as well as my other drinks and it's working better for me as I think I was getting water logged.

Hoping the keto fairy visits you very soon xxx

 

[suemal]

Me to thought he'd come yesterday as I wasnt hungry at all,but just feeling a bit empty today.I bought the boullion stuff yesterday so I'll try that.

 

[dawnybabes]

I have a chart on the back of the pantry draw showing how much I've lost so I'm reminded whenever I'm cooking for DH and DS .... That keeps me on the straight and nArrow !!

 

[headdown]

Wow 8 pound well done. My scales haven't budges any more yet but coud be the penicillin not helping as well. still 4 pound down x x

Keep at it, I keep having 'moments' but they soon pass. I need to stick to this I am sick of failing every diet I do.
