My final journey to a slimmer me

Hi all my name is chantel,
I have been reading through others diary's and have decided it would be a good idea to do one too.

I started LT on 23rd march 2012. I am determined that this will be my last weight lose journey to a happy slimmer me.
I manage 5 days perfect the on the 6th day i cracked and had a blip late that evening. Had my weigh in this morning day 7 and have lost 7lbs which i am very pleased with and i am now determined not to have another blip i need to put my all to this to reach my goal. I have 51lbs to go so here's to reaching my goal.

Thank you all for your support

Day 8 going well. Although yesterday had blip number two, have decided that by writing it down i am not hiding my mistakes and can start a fresh. So i am doing well so far today, although i have the flapjacks which i longed for, i find them horrid and can not manage to eat them. So instead of wasting them have decided to blend with water so i can get it down. I will not be getting them again next week. I am enjoying the strawberry and chocolate shakes so heres hoping for another good week. Day 8 and another blip i need to sort myself out was so determined now my planning is cracking at the seams. I can, I will do better tomorrows another day. I can do this.

Hi Chantel....I'm on day 10 and feeling good! no blips thank goodness! I only have the strawberry shakes as i dont like the rest! I have 51lbs to lose too....WE CAN DO THIS! x

Thanks littleflower2 yes we can, i tried really hard managed a whloe week then have two blips. I won't be doing that again, which is why i have written it down so i can be held accountable and others will know. It will help me stay on track. Not feeling hungry actually i am quite full. Well done littleflower2 for your weight loss and no blips. We can both lose our 51lbs together.

Nice hot day today lots of water and i'll have my last shake at 5pm

Feeling really full up but i've got to make room for my last shake will just have it a bit later.

Off to bed ready for a fresh start tomorrow need to get back on the boat and keeping going until i reach my slimmer destination. Day 9 heres to a positive day.

Well done on the first weigh in results!

I like the flapjacks but I always drink them with a big cup of tea!!

Keep going you're doing so well.

Up and ready to start day 9 i have managed to do 5 days 100% then i had 1 blip after another 3 days in a row. But i'm determined to stick at it and start 100% today and onwards. Need to lose 51lbs this can only be done by me, keeping focused and setting out goals for myself.
Goal 1 stay on plan 100%
Goal 2 lose another 7lbs or more this week if possible but will be happy with a loss
Goal 3 when i feel like eating something off plan, talk about it, think about, drink more water or go to bed early. (As these blips have happened at night even though i'm full i'm just eating cause i'm bored)
Goal 4 Be honest with myself (which is why i have written down when i had my blips)
Goal 5 stay positive I CAN DO IT!

Thanks Dusty

So far having a good day although was a little tempted at the doughnut shop as was buying it for my brother and my son. I didn't get one for myself just had my chocolate shake instead and my belly is full. Decided to come on here why they where eating the doughnuts didn't want to be tempted to have a bite. Off to my aunts house today to see all the family we meet up once a month the whloe family on my mums side, there will be lots of food but i will be strong and keep myself full with water.

I find that resisting temptation actually makes me stronger and more determined. I was cutting my niece's Sunday roast up for her last weekend and my sister asked how I could manage to do it when I'm not eating myself. I just told her it wasn't my dinner. I'll cut my own up once I'm down to my goal weight.

I felt so self-righteous I got a buzz.

Good luck and well done so far.

Thanks Mr C

Have had a lovely day with all my family and i stayed true to my word and stayed on track don't get me wrong it was hard but i am so proud of myself and ready to stick at it like i know i can.

Gosh, just noticed your goal of 8st! Are you small in height or are you wanting to be super-slim? I hope you manage it, I admire people who have the guts to set themselves big targets, I feel a bit of a wimp that I have set mine at 9st 10 (which is probably still overweight for my 5'2''). If I do okay I might keep going a bit longer as you are all showing me up!

A healthy weight for my height is anywhere between 8stone being the lowest. On weight calculation tables for my height and age medical recommendation is between 7stone 6lbs (104lbs)- 9stone 9lbs (137lbs) which is bmi range 19-25 average people's choice recommendation 9stone 4lbs (133lbs).

So i will see what i look like and how i feel throughout my journey but 8 stone is the lowest.

Also its good to set little goals then you won't fail. So yes i have put 8stone but i'll see how i feel i could get to 9stone and that might be perfect for me. Good luck on your journey.

Day 10 ready to have my first shake of the day. Still struggling a bit with being tempted with food and i will stay strong can't want till thursday weigh in.
Goals for today
Goal 1 stay on plan 100%
Goal 2 lose another 7lbs or more this week if possible but will be happy with a loss
Goal 3 drink more water
Goal 4 Be honest with myself (which is why i have written down when i had my blips)
Goal 5 stay positive I CAN DO IT!

Hi... i am only small and have gone for 8.7lbs... but would like to be 8stone... like you i will wait and see what i look like... already people start to tell you not to go to far... i have another 2stone to loose, they are not used to seeing me without an extra 3 stone... and because i am under 5ft.. only just...every lb counts...

re the flap jacks... i really enjoy mixing half a vanilla shake in a black coffee.. its a bit like a cappacino and half a flapjack.. makes me feel a bit normla at lunch or breakfast...i am re starting Lipotrim next Tuesday after easter as we have a family trip to handle... had a maintanince sash this morning which was really nice.. so getting back on track... i struggled last night and ate not because i was hungry but because i could.... oh hum... help....

I know when you lose weight its for yourself and when you lose some you will see what works for you.

I tried mixing the flapjacks with half my shake as just could not manage to finish eating it. Didn't enjoy them at all so next week will be sticking to just chocolate and strawberry shakes. I did well the first 5days then i ate a biscuit plus a few other goodies and i lost control for three days happens mainly in the evening, Day 10 and another blip i really need to get a hold of myself, finding it so hard as have my 3yr almost 4yr old boy Safinn and the snacks in the house are his, it's not even that i'm hungry it's just i miss food. I have taken a stand i need to pull myself together i didn't spend all this money to not get the best results possible, so as of know i havwill be on plan 100% can't say i hav'nt been tempted as i was very tempted yesterday at a family gathering and everyone was eating but me but i am seeing results and am wanting to see more. I'm here if you needed to chat.

I find by writing it down everyone can see that i have had a few blips and that i'm not hiding it from anyone and more importantly myself as that would be my downfall. I would start a diet or healthy eating plan, would eat un healthy snacks and say i would start again the next day or the following monday meaning i would eat badly the rest of the week waiting on monday. So i have set myself daily goals in order to achieve my goals.

Day 11 just a couple more days until weigh in, can't wait. Have had my chocolate shake hot. I can see my belly is getting smaller by the day.

Having a good day have stayed 100% and i'm feeling full just had my last shake of the day. 3 more days until 2nd weigh in.

Really need help yet again another blip i letting food get the better of me, I see the results and i'm still doing this to myself. Was so determine and now i letting myself sink back into old habits. After i have eaten i feel sick so why do i keep doing this. Got a headache which i have had all day have been drinking lots more water. I just need to be back where i was when i started and been more determined. Hopefully being weighed on thursday will show me i need to be stronger i am in control of losing the weight and putting it on. Need to get back on that boat and keep it a float. The evening are the worst, little ones in bed and just me watching tv. Need to find an evening activity. Thats the plan for tomorrow, when evening comes find something to do. Have a bath, read a book, newspaper, magazine, exercise or go to bed.

Good night hope to have a better evening tomorrow. The days are fine.
