Hi everyone,
This is my first ever post. After 4 pregnancies, gaining weight with each one and never giving myself a chance to lose the excess, now, at the age of 40 I’ve found myself the heaviest I’ve ever been and at a loss as to what to try.
I’m 5,1, with a starting weight of 11st 13lb, bmi of 31.5 classing me in the obese category. Looking to get down to 8st.
I finally took the plunge on Monday and met with a CDC. I started on SS, 3 products a day.
I’ve actually not found myself hungry, or craving, having read about how hard the first few days would be. But now, at day 5 I feel if anything heavier. I haven’t weighed myself as my consultant said to wait for first weigh in due to initial fluctuations. I feel bloated and full up most of the time. I’m drinking plenty of water, at least 2.5l a day.
here’s why I’m worried…at my initial meeting with consultant she told me how I could pick any 3 products a day etc etc. told me how she’s got clients who only have 2 different products. So I chose to have the lemon yoghurt bar as my brunch meal, then I have either the chicken tikka sachet, or spaghetti bolognaise sachet for my tea, then a bar as an evening snack (as that’s the time of day I always found hardest not to eat). And as I said plenty of water throughout the day.
I’ve since read though that apparently the bars shouldn’t be used until much much later in the diet?! So why would my consultant tell me otherwise?! Is this why I feel heavier etc? Am I still consuming too many carbs? I tried the shakes and soups and both made me want to throw up which is why I settled on the mix of products I chose.
I’m now terrified I’ll go to weigh in on Monday and will have either gained, or weight stays the same. It’s making me question why I’m putting myself through such a restrictive diet if I won’t see any results. Every other story I seem to read is so positive so I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve not cheated once, and tbh not even been tempted to.
thanks if you managed to get this far!
