Introducing ~ Big Girl Going Small :)

DAY 7!!
I made it!
A whole week!!
I've never made it past day 4 before so I'm well chuffed with myself!

I had a banana shake at 11, and I took a truffa bar to the Wedding Fayre (at the venue where we are having our reception) with me today.
I passed on all the bucks fizz, canapes, and extras they were offering and happily swigged my water.
It helped being in the place I will be wearing my beautiful dress all day lol!
Reaaaalllly dry mouth today.

Oh and i'm in a bit of a pickle.... I saw on here that we could have vinegar. Turns out we CAN'T? Yet I had it on my salmon Monday and Tuesday so maybe its taken me longer to get into ketosis.
Also.... I had to book in for our wedding menu taster sash and its next Sunday.
I'm really enjoying the diet and I didn't plan to have any breaks.
How do I get round this?!
Obviously I need to choose our menu and I could just stick to meat and veg, but what about starters and puddings?!
Also I have my dads birthday meal on Friday but I was planning to stick to fish and veg. simple!
But it looks like I'm coming out of ketosis on Sunday anyway.....
Bit annoyed that things have suddenly cropped up now.
I've been doing so well and in the right mindset.
Will coming out of ketosis on Sunday evening and starting back Monday morning effect my weightloss?

[Tara27]

So day 8...... Weigh in day!
Looks like I have lost 8lbs on my crappy scales. I think I need to go to boots each week for my weigh in, but with shift work it won't be the same time each week..... Awkward.
Not a great start but the scales are going in the right direction. I'm into the 15's!!!!!!!!!
More water and light exercise and a stricter attitude regarding my low carb meal.
Bring on week 2!!

8lbs is a great loss Hun I'm struggling with water intake too I just forget x

 

[Clinquant]

Well done that's great. It is a great start!!

 

[Tara27]

Hello hunger!
What's happening to me?
Having a bit of a wobbly day.
Have wanted to eat everything bad
I haven't though.
I had a strawberry shake at 11 ish. Then while making my tea for tonight I ate 4-5 mouthfuls of it.
I couldn't stop!
I was thinking I shouldn't have my lemon bar today because of it?
So I've just had a choc shake at 3 and then my lean mince beef, peppers, onions and mushrooms at 7.
That's it now, i'll have a coffee when I get home, bath and bed!!
Weird day.

Here to subscribe well done on your 8 pounds that's fantastic x Also this is really helping me keep on track as weekends have always been my downfall but I need to change my thinking and keep focused like you have.

 

[Clinquant]

You're doing fine. Seems we all had a bit of a hungry day yesterday. Maybe because it's colder. New day today

Day 9

Can't believe I'm still here!

This diet has my head all over the place but not once have I slipped. So proud of myself, never knew I had this strength.

So today started with a cafe latte shake, then at work I had a lemon bar with my coffee.
Now I'm grilling a nice juicy Cajun chicken breast with salad. And when I get home i'll probably have a banana shake.

Have been doing well with the water too, 3 letres a day now. Any more and I wouldn't get my work done, I'm constantly in the loo as it is!

My next order came today. I dont need it for another fortnight, but I wanted to make sure I couldn't back out! I got 140 packs

Had a big staff meeting forsake the boss bought in SHORTBREAD BISCUITS, CAKES, CHOCOLATE AND SWEETS.
THANKS for that!!!

Regardless of how delicious they looked, I didn't even flinch.
They got me where I am today so I'm not letting them break me now!

Still disappointed about my Week 1 weigh in. I got on the scales today and it looks like I only lost 6lbs after all. I lose more than that when I'm ill for 2 days!!

Hey ho. On with it
xx

Thanks Clinquant, yes something in the water yesterday!!

Hi katierose
Sorting out the weekend's is my biggest trial. But its only food..... And its all for the biggest day of my life, so I just tell myself to strap on a pair. Its one way or the other and I know where I want to be heading!

Day 9 pri pri, and only 6lb down!! Your lucky its coming off your face, mine usually comes off my chin first but haven't noticed any difference yet. Too optimistic maybe!
I wanted to do this diet to get big fast results to keep me going. I nearly cried! All that hard work, I wanted a massive loss to really get me going! Heaven forbid I have a crap loss next Monday too. I wouldn't mind losing 6lb from maybe wk 3 onwards, but not after the first 7 days of changing my diet so drastically.
I know I'm moaning when I should be happy to lose anything, but time isn't on my side... It seems so unachievable at the mo. I want to see the fat falling off!
Other than that...... I'm doing great

[Tara27]

Oh sorry pri pri, Hahahahahahaha!
Yeh but you've got a lot less to lose (got out of that one!) Xx

Day 10! Wow.

Started work at 7.
Have already had some water and a decaf coffee.
Planning to have Banana shake at 11 and my bar and coffee at 2.
I measured out 150ml skimmed milk for the first time today....
I only have one, at a push 2, hot drinks a day so usually don't bother.
Then when I made my coffee I used 100ml of milk in it! Don't realise how much u use in one cuppa.
So I think I'm going to buy a little bottle and measure it out each day, also because if I only have one drink then I'm not getting the required milk amount for Lifestyle.

Feeling good today!
Lots of wedding stuff going on and keeping me on the ball and determined to keep strong in this diet

[Tara27]

U should get a size 6 under garment lol! Just end up with a really fat neck! Hahahahahahaha xx
Anyway, I WISH I was ur starting weight u loon! U need to read my diary.... I started at 16st 4lb! Only just got down to 15st 13lb.
Depends how tall u are. If I was 12 stone i would hope to look super slim because I'm 5ft 8" tall. And in fact, on the bmi chart I should be around 12 stone for my height. I'd be happy with that!
I have bought a gorgeous little gold and black jacket in a smaller size from the catalogue. It was in the sale so I thought i'd get that as an incentive to lose my first 2 stone. Can't wait to slip it on, knowing that a few weeks ago I wouldn't of been able to get it up my arms let alone zipped up!
But I don't know if I would buy a dress that I HAD to wear to something in a few weeks.... Don't u find you can take different dress sizes in different shops?
