Helen's Journey.

[hez]

Day 54 on my lipotrim journey.... And 17st 4lbs today, yeah baby only 4 lbs off 4 stone GONE!!! Seems unreal to think how much weight i have lost in a really short time. Do i miss food - YEAH. Do i missing eating out - YEAH. Do i dream about food - YEAH. Do i think i will turn into gordon ramsey when i do go back eating - YEAH. I am glad i did this diet - ABSOLUTELY YEAH. To someone thinking of starting this or is on this diet, please give it a go. You too will feel like you have your life back again. Yesterday i did more shopping for my holidays, size 16 (top) and 18 (bottoms) at the moment. So i got 14 and 16 to keep me on track. Starting at a size 24, just 54 days ago, is unbelievable. And if i can do it, anyone can do it. I cant wait to get to 17 stone, and then 16 stone... i take each day, one day at a time. And i thank my mum and dad for keeping me on track, as i know they are a huge part in this. Also friends i have made on this forum, too many to mention, that have supported me from the beginning. Some are even different diets but we all have the same goal, to lose weight! Many many thanks to all of you.
I write everything down, the good, the bad, the ugly... That way i can read over this, when or if i doubt myself... Thankfully i haven't had to do that yet! Now is my time to take back my life, to take control. I think my head is in a place where i feel i can do anything, nothing is impossible.
Heres to another GREAT day x

You truly are an inspiration Helen! I can identify with a lot of the things you write about. I'm only on my third week & have a long way to go, & sometimes think arrrgghh, can I do it? But reading your journey helps me & keeps me positive.

Thanks Marie. It means a lot. I wish you all the best with your diet. Keep me posted how you do!
I would love to read how you are doing, and you in turn will inspire others xx

Hey
Is summer over already and kids back in school ? I bet is hard for your girl and now the school starts too. Eating is always social even and when friends going for burger its hard to be on plan. She have done so well so far and I hope she will find the strenght to keep going as far as she can.
WW is good idea too, not only for you two when you get off from shakes but to learn to eat good balance food thats most important - sounds so easy and is so hard to acheve.
What ever you do I will be here , reading how you two doing and waiting for 16 st mark to hit
Hugs

Thanks rita
she started back on friday. i hate school runs lol the thought of getting up every morning is killing me just thinking about it. On the plus side 4 weeks today is my wedding, so i only have 27 more days of work then its back to being a full time mom....
thanks for your continued support, it is very much appreciated xxx

Day 55!!! Madness, just madness. Today i am married 22 years to my wonderful husband. And we will be celebrating big style... He grazing away all day, pampering himself..... And me 3 strawberry shakes (on no.1 as we speak, and 2 litres of water).... When i am finished with my weight loss journey we will go out thats something to look forward to.
Did my little ritual and 17st 2lbs, so next week i should hit the 17st with a "BANG" one very happy bunny. It only seems like yesterday i couldnt wait ti get into the 18st category! And then we will be looking at the 16st family.
am starting to think my holiday clothes might be too big ... In which case more shopping will be on the cards
this week, everyday that i have gone shopping (4 days so far) i have been buying nail polish... My fingers are changing colour on a daily basis, according to Ellis on an hourly basis. She is finding this diet hard. She thinks cos she isnt eating as such it should be falling away! I know she is disheartened. So we will take each day as it comes.
Heres to another great day x

Day 56, so thats 8 weeks (i think) on tfr 100%. That is a first for me EVER., to stick to any diet for so long lol i must be getting older and wiser also, or maybe just the older part...
School is back again, wasn't long coming around. Next week we have a german student coming and staying for a week. So the house is getting a thorough clean (without me bribing or paying them hehe) for the event. I have been given an itinerary of the likes and dislikes. And will have to cook the meals, hubby wants me to take over the kitchen duties for the week. (As i do it better, his words not mine) so thats something to look forward to, cooking at home then off to cook at work!
a few people commented on my weight loss this weekend. All fellas i might add. Lol i was like, its nothing really. (Didn't fill them in, that i hadn't eaten properly in like months)
heres to another great day xx

56 days girl, 56 days - amazing. I dont know how you can do it. Must be that you know where you want to be when you finish. And support of family too.

Sorry you had to tell a little lie but you did well. So proud of you. Now you know that you so strong and can do what ever you like

Dont the compliment feels good even if they come from someone - lets say total strange in bus stop, and who keep saing you look good and when you pretend that dont understand the langure to get rid of him, starts to show with hands that you have sexy body. Hahaha- sorry but this just happened when I was tring to write this respond and it was so hard not to start laughing in there
Oh , I wish I could see how you will shine in wedding You must do photos for sure xxx

Day 57. Today is a happy, happy, happy day! I will explain. This morming before my weigh in, i hopped on the scales and saw 16st 13lbs glazing at me!!! Happy would be an understatement 2nd happy, went for weigh in and another 7lbs gone (she weighed me 3lbs more today!!!) but i dont mind. And third happy is Ellis weighed in at 13st 13lbs, and she was over the moon to be out of the 14st....it was like a million pounds to her. She went off to school so happy, that alone made my day.
heres to a great day

Day 58! No change this morning on the scales still 16st 13lbs. But thats ok. Im happy seeing the number 16 (easy please a child they say, well im a big child ) im starting to see all the positives in everything, i dont know if thats diet related. Or getting older and wiser. And we (hubby & i) are noticing a huge difference in Ellis's moods too, for the better i might add. She has gone down another lb this morning, and she had a fry for her meal yesterday. She said it was devine (bacon, egg, mushrooms and tomatoes) it was her first hot meal in forever lol so im delighted to see her happy, as i think she used to get a load of abuse at school about her weight! So things are looking up there. My wedding is 3 weeks on sunday. And i have decided, yes i have decided finally, i will eat that day, only foods that i would be allowed to keep me in ketosis. No drink for me only water, and i will have a blast!!! Im more looking forward to my holiday now than the wedding and i will eat (healthy and properly) that week. But i wont go mad, and when i do come back i will crack on with my lipotrim....thats the plan! I can do this, i feel i can, I'm like 99.9% sure i can. Time will tell :sigh:
I have been looking at going to Germany to see the christmas markets. That would be december time (its only €120 for 3 nights stay in hotel and flights)!! And that would keep me on the straight and narrow, maybe!
heres to another great day x
