day 1

[hopefully-this-time]

Only getting logged on now. I agree with jester4 (Amanda) curlylocks also known as Amanda, don't give up. I also thought at the start why not WW or SW and the answer is it's too slow! My name is jileen, I'm from Lisburn in n.ireland, 36 with 3 children aged 18, 4 and 18 weeks. This place really keeps u going x

Well done Curlylocks (Amanda) for not giving in. I found today day 4 hard I was sooo tired and so cold and I had tons to do at work but struggled to do it and I am expecting day 5 to be just as tough but I think I have come this far I am just going to push through. I used to be a weight watchers leader surprisingly in my skinny days and I know whilst it can be a very healthy diet if you make wise food choices it would take me a long time to get to my goal. I agree I'm going to do this to get a large lump off and them use WW to maintain. I keep telling myself this is just a short time out of my life but it's going to make a massive difference to how I look and feel about myself. I'm one of those people who gives up when it gets hard but I feel really focused at the moment. My daughter is 18 and she lost 2 stone in 3 weeks and that is really driving me.

Wierdly I am an Amanda as well... I am 44 married with 3 children, girl 18 and two boys 14 and 13. I live in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

I look forward to coming home from work and checking the forum knowing that I am not the only one facing these challenges and that there is support.

Hi Justine, Wendy , Amanda's and Curly Amanda and anyone I may have missed I just wanted to wish everyone a fab day and I hope the sun is shining where you are. Day 5 the day I tripped up last time so I am gritting my teeth and ploughing through. It is also my totm so I'm feeling bloated and heavy which won't help with my weigh in tomorrow. I thought lack of calories would postpone it but it is actually brought it closer but it is Friday and I'm feeling happy!! Xx

Are you getting a tattoo? What you getting? Iv a tattoo I got years ago drunk on holiday it really needs fixed but I'm too scared lol!

 

[was78]

OOo what is the tattoo? I dont have any but always been tempted. Good luck everyone today, nearly the weekend (which I always find the hardest) Beautiful up here in Ulverston (where I work). Warm too! Got a PT session this afternoon, we'll see how I am, everybody else been ok exercising?? Happy Friday! One day closer to being skinny lol! xx

 

[jester4]

Yes booked in for a cover up of a rose on my shoulder, I am having a dreamcatcher, will be my last lol I have 3 others ha ha yay 1 day closer to being thinner, I have yet to try doing extra exercise lol might give it a go, agree weekend is not good when its sunny but we have each other here all weekend x x

 

[Janine#]

Oh no! There's tasty Friday treats in my office! This is the first time chocolates been near me! It's cadburys too ahhhh must resist! I can almost hear it calling me lol!

I'm hitting the gym tonight or maybe the park with it being so sunny! Excellent way to think about it, 1 more day to being skinny!

Any thoughts how long u can do this diet for? Any1 have any weird side effects, the roof of my mouth has calmed down a little!

 

[Curlylocks]

Good morning girls! How u all doing?
Jester.. I know what u mean, I don't know any other Amanda's either lol! Girls night out at Xmas sounds great... There'll be nothing left of us good luck with the tattoo... Haven't got any but always wanted a little one somewhere.. May when I'm finished LT
Wendy.. What's a PT? Physio or something?? Good luck with it whatever it is though..
Yorkshire.. Just think D5 is no different to any of the other days which you've been fine with .. So just fill up on peppermint tea or coffee between shakes if u get hungry! I'm only a day ahead of u.. You're not going to fail.. Remember how I was on my 2nd Day 3 ... But it went fine
Girls I woke up at 05.40 this morn, hungry so I brushed my teeth & tongue lol and got a cup of peppermint tea.. Took hunger away & an hour later after watching TV on my mobile in bed.. I fell back to sleep! Just woke up now.. Feeling a little hungry gonna have my 1st shake soon..
Remember if anyone has a weak moment/hour like I did yesterday then come on here straight away.. I'll chat with u.. I'm in work until 8.30 but I always check regularly.. Like we've said.. This is a lifeline sometimes I know it was for me yesterday.. So I'm here to help too!
Time for an LT macchiato ( my nickname for vanilla, fibre clear & coffee)
Sorry to gross everyone out actually but anyone else having trouble going to the toilet on this thing..I haven't been since I started & getting a little worried??

 

[jester4]

Ha glad you brought it up lol I didn't go for 2 weeks ha ha good old fibre clear. Off to the tattooist back soon well 3 hours lol, I second being here for anyone during the day not working at the moment, stay away from the chocolate, have chocolate shake later instead, have a good day ladies x x

There is cake here again today and massive bags of crisps, that'll be about three days out of five!!! I have to pass it every time I fill up my cup/water!! haha. I laugh in the face of cake (really crying inside lol).
Glad to hear others are having the loo trouble, me too. The fibre clear helps and the pharmacist recommended senna if it was really bad. But i wouldn't recommend them as a regular thing. Fibre clear seems to help loads.
Sorry PT is a session I have on a friday with a trainer, I've kept it up even though I'm limited at the mo as I want to keep the routine, and I'll go back to bootcamp next week but take it easy and just judge how I feel.
Stay strong everyone!! I'm having a mint tea and a glug of water xxx
