the journey of colly...no longer vlcd-ing.

[colly strings]

hello all!

i'm going to try and make this a bit of a "food diary" so to speak. everything that passes my lips is accountable and i hope this will keep me on track.

so yes, i'm here to finally try and lose my excess weight once and for all.
i'm 23 but i live the life of someone much older cause i'm so ashamed of my body.
i've never ever been slim, as long as i can remember i've been bigger than most, i am almost 6ft though so this probably accounts for some of that. being big runs in my family, all the women are big girls. they all say i can't fight the genetics, but i will. i don't want to be a size 8. a size 12 would be absolutely amazing for me. even a 14.
my birthday is summer next year and i can't face another year of being too ashamed of my body to really go out and enjoy myself. i want to have lost 8/9/10 stone by then, depending on how my body looks.

i'm on here a lot of the time so feel free anyone to come in and speak at me about whatever takes your fancy- diet or no diet- always good to have distractions!

my exante packs are due tomorrow but today i am having cambridge packs + a low carb meal (probably a boiled egg) in preparation.

so this morning i have cambridge porridge with a little bit of strawberry shake sprinkled in. if i close my eyes and swallow it really fast it almost feels like the real deal
i'm also having a nice big glass of iced water.

Good luck with your plan, I'm sure you can do it if you stay focused and stick to the plan.

I also wanted to thank you for discussing Exante in the Cambridge section and alerting me to the price. I placed an order for 2 months worth of Exante shakes last night, which will save me £100 over the next 2 months, instead of doing Cambridge. I start on the 9th, when my Cambridge stock will be used by then.

thanks! and no problem. i hope it goes well for you!

so this afternoon i had a cambridge tomato soup with loads of pepper. and for tea i had a tin of tuna. been drinking loads of water and not feeling very well, booo. must push through it!

packs should be here tomorrow

 

[colly strings]

i keep clicking on my tracking for the parcel cause the e-mail said that i would get a 1 hour timeslot online this morning, it's not up yet, hurry upppp!! i want my packs!

i've not had anything this morning yet. i'm dying to try a bar as soon as my pack arrives but i'll regret it if i eat one too early, i'll try save it and have something to look forward to later.

o/h is off work sick today. bah! i was hoping to have a temptation free day but it wont happen now. i'll manage though!

i bought some super fancy scales from argos yesterday, they track your weight/body fat/bmi etc and they come with a usb memory stick, and you can put it into your computer and it can do a graph of your weight loss! i'm so impressed with it! simple things for simple minds and that...

 

[colly strings]

[slimmer bridezilla]

just wanted to say good luck

 

[colly strings]

thank you lovely.
i'm not sure whether i'm going to follow total or working solution yet. i shall wait and see how it goes.x

 

[babystar31]

Good luck xxxxx

 

[short and dumpy]

Good luck and a rather belated welcome xx

 

[colly strings]

thank you to both xx

 

[coley144]

Hope it goes well for you. You can do it!

 

[colly strings]

thanks coley, your weight loss is amazing by the way and not far off what i'm aiming for.

well my packs only just arrived! i hoped they'd be here earlier so i could have a fresh start today, needless to say i've not had the best of days pacing around waiting for them. i am ridiculously easily disheartened when things dont go my way...

i start a new college course tomorrow and have decided to start *properly properly* on saturday as i don't want to be going through the aches and pains of ketosis while trying to fit in in a new environment. i'm just going to cut back the carbs and up the water, maybe have a pack for breakfast too to start getting into the swing of things. if i start on sat, i'll be in ketosis (going by previous efforts) by monday night, so i should be home and dry for next time i'm in college which is next wed. i am about to try a bar though- lets see how this goes!!

 

[colly strings]

choc orange bar- it's not bad! i see what people mean about the texture, but i really think if it was microwaved for a few sec it would be looovely, well, as lovely as vlcd gets!!

 

[slimmer bridezilla]

I tried one after microwaving and it definitely improved texture a bit - not quite as dry but it does crumble - had to eat with a spoon

 

[colly strings]

i think it'll go a long way to satisfying my constant craving for dessert hehe x

 

[colly strings]

oh my god how amazing is banana shake?! wwwoooowww!!!

 

[annaphylactic]

Ooh, I wasn't that keen... but then I have a really sweet tooth, and find all the shakes a bit powdery and soyary (?!)... glad you like it though, makes things so much more enjoyable

[colly strings]

hmm, well, if you wanted to pm me any time to discuss our favourite and least favourite packs, that'd be fine by me.

 

[annaphylactic]

Sorry - was I thread hogging? xx

 

[colly strings]

No no!! Ill pm you
