Day 14

Well I've now lost a stone in two weeks!

Whilst being overjoyed at that statistic I'm sad that I only lost 4lb this week.  I spoke to my pharmacist about why this might be and she said it is all to do with the water intake.  For every kg of fat you burn you need 2 kgs of water so the more water I drink the more fat I will burn.

Anyway... ramping up the water intake and hopefully next week will be another steady loss.

Day 13

Well this week has flown by and I'm still seeing the weight dropping off.  I haven't been hungry at all although I am missing eating... if that makes sense.  There is a damn advert on the tv at the moment which is for Utterly Butterly and she's eating a baked potato and thats about the only thing I really want to eat. 

That and chilli...

I'm still struggling with water on the weekends but I'm sticking with it.

Its Weigh-Day tomorrow and I'm super excited.

Day 7 - Doubts

It started off as such a positive day this morning... especially with the weigg-in as well.

But since I've been home I've kinda slumped.  I promised my daughter I would make her and my brother a roast and I felt so desperate for texture in my mouth I had to stop myself from eating a whole stuffing ball before I had even cooked it!

I think I've really messed up my routine today.  I slept late... so no shake early in the morning and then I didn't seem able to drink much water through the day.  I've stuggled to drink 3 litres today and despite the greatness of the morning... I feel pretty shitty now.

Day 7 - Weigh Day

Well hell... 10 lbs gone... so... I'll admit it... I cried when I got home.  Not because of the weight loss this week... but because of the projection for next week.  I'm currently 14st 5lbs.  If I lose 6lbs this week I'll be in 13 stone territory next week... which is a huge milestone for me.

I can't really describe how I'm feeling.  Pumped... wanting more... proud... accomplished.

*I should clarify for anyone who finds me from the MiniMins community that when I first added my starting weight to the site I was 211.8lbs.  Decimals aren't accepted so I rounded up to 212.*

Day 6

It’s been weird so far.  I’m not craving food at all.  I’ve sat with people at work whilst they have eaten and also with Hannah at home and I’ve not been tempted at all.

I think its the fact that the only person who I would let down if I don’t do this is myself.  I’m getting no support from my friend at all.  All she’s interested in is how soon I can come off the diet so that we can go out and get drunk.

I wandered around the Plymouth Flavourfest today and took in all the sights and smells and just didn’t feel tempted at all.  I bought dipping sauces and bbq sauces and a jar of chutney but haven’t even tasted it.  That’s Hannah’s job.

I was having trouble drinking the right amount of water… especially at home but all I did was swap to a smaller bottle with a sports top and I’m having no bother at all.

I can’t wait til tomorrow when I weigh officially and see how much I’ve lost.

Day 1

  • Weight - 208.8
  • 3 shakes
  • 07.15 - Strawberry - Yummy
  • 13.30 - Strawberry - Yummy
  • 21.30 - Vanilla - Hmmmmmm
  • 3 litres of water
Headache by 11.00am which Lisa said is an indication that I’m not drinking enough.  I’d drunk about 2 litres by then so obviously need to step it up.

Home in the evening and not hungry but feel as though I could suck a piece of cheese for an hour… if that makes sense.  My mouth feels dead…
