[loulou526]

I'm defo trying the bars next week!

The sun makes a helluva difference!

 

[loulou526]

Oooook so just had my 2nd pack and 2 big glasses of water, I won't lie, today's not been easy but somehow have managed to steer away from temptation and focus on the big prize lol

So tonight's plan is an early night, although not too early or else I'll be waking up at 4am lol
Think I'll have my 3rd and final pack around 8pm. Today's weather was absolutely glorious and has definitely inspired me to continue on with this journey, nobody said losing weight is easy eh!

 

[gerujool]

Think the maintaining gonna b the hardest part if our journey chick!!

But yes this part isn't easy either lol!!

Your doing so well Lou, so strong with staying focused xxx

 

[gerujool]

Morning on the grey foggy day!!

Another ss day yesterday woop woop!! Here's to another one! Woke up at 5.02 this mornings wats that all about!! Managed to go bak to sleep though thank god!!

Hope everyone has a good day xx

 

[gerujool]

Hi, well wat started out as a fab day has now been ruined by a letter saying I didn't get the job I went for last week.

I'm absolutely gutted, it was for a healthcare assistant at the hospital, I'm studying for a better career for myself in nursing and that's a massive blow!! Feel like I'm useless and why bother carrying on as they have it on record!! Bloody gutted?????

Oh and only got a c in Macbeth assignment?? was gonna eat as my first natural instinct but had a Cambridge bar xxx

 

[bettiesrevenge]

First of all congratulations on not eating!!!!!

Now. I have a philosophy. What is not meant for us will pass us by. This job as a HCA may not be for you right now. Are you studying nursing? Because if not then maybe that's what you should be doing? I know that being a hca is a step in the right direction but maybe you can study nursing, get paid the same and get a degree that you don't have to repay? Just a thought!!!

 

[katsparkle]

stay positive!!! its hard and i havent even done anywhere near as much as you - im only on day 5

dont let rejection knock your confidence, just think of it as their loss

 

[gerujool]

I'm so bloody confused a peed off, I want to do odp course at uni (scrub nurse), just though getting that job would b a good start to c if that's wat I wanted to do! I'm stuck in dead end office job and want to escape xx

 

[gerujool]

Thanks kat, I'm trying!!!

Just starts me thinking y am I not good enough xx

 

[loulou526]

Awwww never mind Hun, there'll be other jobs, I know it sounds cliched but it's the truth! Sending big hugs xxx

Diet went ok today but only managed 1 pack and about quarter of a small bottle of water so not that good, got in late from college and by the time I sorted kids, dinner etc etc there was only time for a soup. My belly is groaning right now!! Only 2 more days until weigh in yay!!!

 

[loulou526]

Morning all! Soooo the weekend is here once again! Well I must say that I feel a lot stronger than I did last weekend but hey it's only 06.55am so who knows how I'll feel 10 hours away from now lol I will be popping on here throughout the day for loads of inspiration to keep me on track though!

Soooo yesterday was so busy only had the 1 pack which I don't like to do, hope that it doesn't halt any weight loss and the lack of water consumed makes me feel a bit nervous too, so today's aim is to up the intake, I need to have water coming out of my ears!!!

Monday will be my official 2 weeks on the diet being totally 100% with no cheats (providing all goes well until then!), it's also weighing day and to say that I'm excited would be an understatement lol, I've gotten rid of my scales at home so this really will be total suspense for me, soooo desperate to see what I've achieved this week and need a good result to keep me on track!!

I've decided I'm going to the diet until July and pray I can keep 100% until then!!

Was 15.12 at my last weigh in and will update on the weight on Monday, will also post update pics in the next 4 weeks all going to well and to plan.

Have a great weekend all!

Xx

 

[gerujool]

Morning all!

The water is hard at the weekends, but wat I do is keep a 2 litre bottle if water in the fridge and once it's empty full it up and drink another 2 litres!! It's hard but I find it helps me and 4 litres has helped me lose.

Wow one pack Lou that's not good!! I'm being ur mother now lol eat 3 and drink water!!

I've just had pint if water and capaccino shake and got a busy day so hope to keep my water intake up.

Yep the job was something I really wanted and just assumed I get it!! Been told by people that if I got interview I got job! But I do believe that it wasn't meant to b and I'm destined for big and better things!!!

Haha gotta big myself up as no other buggar will!!!

Have a good day ladies xx

 

[loulou526]

Awww never mind chick, you've got the right attitude and you don't know what's waiting for you around the corner so keep positive and look forward to what lies ahead!

I know I know! Don't even know how I got through the day with only 1 pack, I felt hungry last night but couldn't face another shake or soup, to be honest I'm getting bored of all of them now!! That's defo why I think I'll be trying the bars because I'm just so fed up of the packs now and it's only really been a couple of weeks! When I try any new flavours they just seem to taste horrid! Like the leek n potato for example lol it was the most tasteless thing on earth!!!

Defo gonna keep glugging that water today!

Xx

 

[bettiesrevenge]

Try seasoning? You can mix it with some marigold bouillon... You can drink that on its own too.

How many weeks have you done so far Lou?

 

[gerujool]

Yep feeling ur pain with the soup lol!!

I've just ordered bars, tetra for work and choc mint shakes for brekkie mmm hot!! As like u say getting bored of most of them now!!

It's more expensive with bars and tetra though arghhhh!! Oh well slim is expensive lol x

 

[gerujool]

Ps. How's ur bowels!!!!!

 

[loulou526]

Thanks for the tip Bettie will definitely try that, will pop it on my shopping list this week!

Well I'm going for my 3rd weigh in on Monday but i had a hideous 1st week, constantly cheating but still managed to lose 4 lbs, then lost 8 the next so technically I've been doing it properly for 2 weeks, so far have lost 12 lbs, hoping for big things on Monday! Hope I don't get disappointed lol, either way I'm sticking to it though.

So far just had a soup and a half a litre of water, didn't feel too tempted after serving the kids a breakfast feast, won't go into too much details but it looked delicious!! I think I finally have realised that I'm just too unhappy with my body to contemplate falling off the wagon so easily, but one day at a time I guess.

Vanessa, bowels are great thanks hahaaa, back to normal service!

X

 

[gerujool]

I'm not hungry it's boredom I think! So now dragging my daughter round sainsburys have some lunch at home a shake!! Then off up the city as she's off to c X factor tour next sat and wants new outfit!! Primarny he we come lol!!

Glad ur vowels r fine Lou, I can sleep at night now!!!! Xx
