Sonkie - Diet
Replying on here to try and keep the meet up thread as is!
I'm 3 stone 4 lbs lighter now than when i started at the end of Jan (30th) I find Cd easy because like the other vlcds it takes away the temptation, i'm cr@p at anything that has to be done in moderation. I've done two AAM weeks and admittedly the first was the butlins weekend so i didn't expect to stick to it but the last one i did a week early as i was away with work and a colleague - so i had salad for lunch every day and then managed four evening meals out - first one i was pretty good and had salmon and a jacket potato, 2nd was an eat all you can spanish tapas, third a chinese :drool: and the fourth a mexican meal of garlic bread with cheese and quesadillas
because i couldn't resist the invite out in the evening !! I know it sounds really bad but i didn't actually pig out - just didn't eat as i should and over the two weeks (because i didn't weigh while i was away) i still lost 5lbs. I have a lot to lose so at the moment it is still coming off at a decent rate so that helps.
That said i like the fact that there is an AAM week as it helps me stick to the SSing as it gives you something to look forward to rather than think you will just be drinking liquids for the foreseeable future.
Obviously you need some will power to get back on it and stick with it but you've proved that with the LT.
The flavours are quite good and i've narrowed it down to the ones i particularly like but in a few weeks when i am sick on them there are still some others that i am not having at the moment that i can swap around but even hubby mentioned yesterday that the soups actually smelt quite nice - the mushroom is lovely. The flavours for the shakes are the standard van, choc, banana, straw plus fruits of the forest, cappuchino, choc and mint and butterscotch - soups mush, chick and mush, spicy tom, thai chilli, veg and broc and cheese (which tastes a bit blue cheese like)
I think that's it.
My weight had got out of control, one of my hips was starting to hurt and i think something just eventually clicked and i thought i really should do something about it before it's too late. i did CD years ago when it was not as wide a range as it is now and i saw something in the paper about CD - i didn't realise it was still available - so i looked it up on the intranet - emailed Jo and here i am
I would like to lose 10 stone or more but small steps eh - 5 stone is the next target.
What have you got to lose - you've proved you have the willpower to stick with a vlcd - you can try CD as it has more variety and if you don't like it or find it's not for you - you can always go back to LT. If you are wavering now - maybe the thought of starting afresh on something may give you back your impetus?
:drool:
