Hi ladies
Im new and starting LT tomorrow sycing myself up as i work with food, reading everyones stories and experiences i think will really help x

 

[becka.c]

Hi Corlie where do you work? I work with food as well! A dessert factory! I have to hold taste panels twice a day (so many yummy cakes) so its hard to resist but I just keep thinking of the end goal! Good luck! Keep in touch xx

Hello guys. I'm also a newbie. I have been lurking here all week but finally decided to post. I've been recommended this diet by my best friend (who is also my boss) and we're doing it together. I was weighed this morning & saw a 11lb loss. The lady at the pharmacy was shocked - she said it was exceptional to lose so much, so I'm so very pleased. However I've got enough to lose - I want to lose another 3 stone so its obviously going to be a fairly long tedious journey. I am determined to stick to this for now, but just wanted to ask - does anyone else feel weak? I feel quite weak a lot of the time, and also like I can't think clearly. Am I alone?

 

[becka.c]

Well done tequila that is a really good loss! I don't feel weak but I do feel a bit fuzzy in my head at the end of my working day so not really much use lol... But its not for long. I want to loose 3 stone as well xx

 

[Tequila1]

Thanks Becka - lets hope we can stay motivated! My husband promised me "whatever I want" whenever I hit a half stone loss. So I went and booked a pedicure straight away! Got that to look forward to...
And my bff/boss has also said that if we both can stick to it for 4 weeks then she'll book us a trip to Boston to visit some clients out there! So I can't fail can I? Its not like I haven't got enough motivation!

What has everyone else promised themselves at each milestone?

 

[becka.c]

I'm going wedding dress shopping at the end of mine so that's my motivation. I'm thinking at the end of the diet I would like to take what I would have spent doing a month of this and go shopping for a new wardrobe but my OH has said he is going to surprise me with something when I am where I want to be so that's a motivation too! Wow Boston sounds exciting I would keep going for that! And its nice to treat yourself with other things instead of food! x

I'm on day 4 and feeling sporadic episodes of weakness and feeling a little light headed but I put that down to my body adjusting itself to this new regime. I'm hoping tomorrow will be the turning point and that I start to feel better. I had such a bad headache yesterday, it felt like my head was in a vice all day :-(

Boston sounds terrific, that's really something to aim for! I have no goals as such, although I'm going away with the family for a weekend break at the end of May so I'm just hopeful that I will have more energy to do some walking and dancing at the holiday park! It will also be nice to HAVE to buy some new clothes before we go away

 

[Tequila1]

Paula - stick with it. Those periods of weakness are supposed to go soon. I was feeling really bad until I had a shake at lunchtime and as if by magic, it perked me right up! I tried the soup tonight for the first time. Had it as a cup a soup - not as bad as I'd thought. Makes a change anyway, doesn't it?
Becka - you can't get much more motivated than a wedding dress - think of the photos!!! When's the big day? Congratulations. Gosh - my friend lost about 4 stone before her wedding and really annoyed the dress lady because it got so that the dress had to be completely reshaped. You're going to look stunning!

 

[Wetherbirdpaula]

I absolutely love the chicken soup! I have mine in a huge mug, like you say it's a cup a soup. So I was gutted tonight when I realised that the pharmacist must have only given me 3 sachets of it, because I've run out! Instead, I had a chocolate shake made with hot water (I'd already got the kettle on!) and it wasn't bad at all.

I agree with Tequila, Becka - you will look stunning in your dress and I hope you can put a picture up on here after your big day to show everyone how great you looked!

 

[becka.c]

I've just been to aqua zumba!! Blooming knackered now! Just had my soup so feeling better. Big day isn't until 11th April next year.. Eeek! but I want to loose now so I can find my dress and order it! I will do my best to remember to take photos! I saw some friends last night and they commented how much different I look, so really looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in!
Paula day 3-4 are the worst because that's when you deplete sugars and go in to ketosis so just keep that though
I always have chicken soup in evening because that feels like a meal then lol! Xx

 

[Tequila1]

Paula I just read you have plantar fasciitis...me too. For over a year now. Its definitely going to get some relief when we are lighter.

 

[becka.c]

Think of all the benefits of being lighter I've just has my weigh in another 7lb off so total of 1stone 1lb in 2 weeks so happy right now!

 

[Tequila1]

Well done! FANTASTIC! That's amazing Becka. So happy for you. And on the plus side, yesterday I was posting about feeling all weak and miserable but today...I almost bounced out of bed with a ridiculous amount of energy. Must have got through the 'wall'! Tonight there's a BBQ/PARTY that I'm going to attend and I plan to stay on track throughout.

 

[becka.c]

Take a milkshake to drink whilst you are there! Stay strong and enjoy!! xx really good that energy has increased! Bet you are feeling fab. My wedding dress is getting closer n closer x

 

[Wetherbirdpaula]

I'm waiting for the burst of energy - doesn't feel like it is ever going to happen!

Excellent loss Beck - that's brilliant! I'm all geared up for my first weigh in next Tuesday (I've had to wait because of bank holiday Monday next week) so I'm hoping for a good loss to keep me motivated.

Never heard of aqua zumba but maybe it's something to try once I've got some weight off. x

 

[Tequila1]

I'm waiting for the burst of energy - doesn't feel like it is ever going to happen!

It was day 9 for me Paula - hang in there. I'm not even kidding when I say that the last 24 hours have been amazing - I feel energized & able to think clearly.
What is everyone up to this weekend? I've smelt a few BBQs going on near me. Smells lovely, but I'm not tempted.

 

[becka.c]

I've been smelling bbqs too I just enjoy the smell now and leave it at that lol. We went for a lovely walk with the dog earlier and have now cleaned the cars and working on the house! Keeping busy(fun fun fun) off to a wedding fayre tomorrow yay! Paula, that first weigh in makes you feel amazing! The first few days I struggled and weighed myself after 3 days (naughty I know) and seeing what I weighed was good and kept my going now I can't imagine doing any different.. . Definitely worth going to aqua zumba its fun.. I think I'm going aerobiking on Tuesday!! How is your weekend tequila? Xx

 

[Wetherbirdpaula]

I made the mistake of watching Masterchef last night, so I've been dreaming about food ever since! And my head feels like it is full of cotton wool - I went earlier and left the back door wide open with no one home!! Madness!

But I'm trying to take my mind off it a bit today by doing some household chores and I've also been watching a few of those Jessie Pavelka weightloss programmes, where people are given a year to lose weight and save their life. I found it quite motivating! And if the weather stays nice tomorrow, I'd like to get out in the garden and do some serious weeding and mowing.

I weighed myself today as well, just to see how I'm getting on and there's a definite loss but I don't know how much difference there is between my scales and the pharmacists. Except for the fact that he weighs in kilos and I weigh in stones!

xx

 

[becka.c]

The thing I find is all my friends seem to talk about is food! (unless I just notice it more now!!) your head will soon clear and you will feel better x getting on and doing things definitely helps. Stops you thinking about food because now I'm realising how bad a habit it was.... X
