Nefertari's journey to lose 130lbs

[sojafay]

Hey Neferari popped in to see how you're doing, another great week Good for you.
Will be watching to see your opinions in bars as am just about to order.
Keep going girl.....

 

[Nefertari]

Thanks sojafay!

Day...31! I can't believe it! One whole month done and nearly 2st off. Very proud of myself! And getting right back on track after a night off is unheard of in my dieting past so I'm doubly proud

Going to see The Woman in Black tonight! Very excited although not sure how to dress? I have jeans or dresses. No middle ground! What does one wear to the local theatre these days?

 

[Caz]

I would say that jeans are fine for your local theatre, they don't tend to be so dressy. Maybe jeans, nice shoes and top?

 

[Nefertari]

Yeah, I think that sounds pretty normal for me lol.

 

[sojafay]

lol don't go by me I,m of charity shop hopping to get an outfit for the rocky horror show in a few weeks time

 

[Nefertari]

I'm so jealous - I love the RHPS!!!

Hiya. Im brand new here. I joined a little while ago but never posted or anything. Im due my 1 week of S&S tomorrow. I wanted to try a bit before I order my full 28 days worth. Its the first VLCD Ive ever done, although I had gastric bypass surgery in 2002 and was essentially consuming verrrry little for quite some time. Anyway. Im going on my hols to visit my mom in Las Vegas (thats where Im from, although Ive lived in the UK since 2004). Ive just sat and read through this entire thread. Very inspiring.

Headache today - perhaps going into ketosis again? Good. Anyway, feeling the need for extra protein so going for 3 packs and two boiled eggs (will save those beauties for after the theatre). Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be back in the K and burning fat! It's my long day tomorrow (6hrs straight of lectures with no breaks) so it won't be difficult to keep on track but is always difficult to fit in packs and water!

 

[beelishy]

I lost my train of thought. I meant to say I was going on hols * in May* so keen to see what I can lose by then. Although I will carry on when I get back because I want to get to goal, for once! I have about 100lbs to lose. Anyway. I struggle to get in enough water. I just FORGET to drink through the day. I guess if I have a pint with each of the 4 packs that would be enough.

 

[Nefertari]

Hey beelishy!

We have a similar amount to lose! I'm off on my hols in May too - off to Cairo! Where are you headed? I want to be down to 16'7 by then so 2st 12.5lbs to go!

And then I'll be carrying on once I get back as I'm off to Palma in Majorca in September and I want to be at goal by then! Xx

 

[beelishy]

Im going home to Vegas for 2 weeks. My mother hasnt met my girls yet!! o0oh Cairo!!!

 

[beelishy]

Im not sure what I weigh right now. I forgot to do it until after Id had breakfast this morning and I didnt want to depress myself any more than possible! lolol. So I will weigh myself tomorrow. Im guessing Im around 19st 10 (275lbs) .....thats where I was a few days ago.

 

[Nefertari]

We're a similar weight too then You'll have a stonking loss in Week 1 if you stick to it. I always have 2 litres of water a day in addition to what is in my shakes. I find that's a good amount for me.

Vegas! Wow! You could probably get a good 3st off by then

Just tried a sweet porridge (maple brown sugar). Disaster. It smelled gorgeous but I really think my microwave is knackered. It puffed up like some kind of cake and then deflated into a tasteless, dry paste. In the bin it went and I had a strawberry shake instead. Quite nice but not a fan of bits in yoghurts so didn't like the bits in the shake. Makes a nice change to chocolate though.

I think I'll try the porridge again at some point with more water. Or perhaps just hot kettle water and add enough until it looks like porridge then skip the microwave!

Having the nougat bar this evening before the theatre. Very excited! 5hrs until show time! I've never seen a play at a theatre before!

 

[beelishy]

i read a post the other day where someone said their porridge exploded! lol i may try to make all the hot stuff NOT in the microwave, if thats possible. cant wait to get my box tomorrow!

 

[beelishy]

Do you bother with the veg when youre doing the 4 packs a day?

 

[Nefertari]

Sometimes. It depends what I have. If I have tuna or chicken, I have lettuce with it. If I have eggs, I just have eggs. I tried swede chips and hated them so haven't bothered again. I'm not a huge veg fan anyway - prefer salad! x

 

[night-owl]

Still got stinking cold. Had roast chicken last night with a couple of brussell sprouts and swede chips. I did them for about half an hour and they went all sweet and caramelised. Best ever! Even tastier than chips made from potato. Will have chicken again tonight.

I don't know wha happened to that porridge and don't understand why it was maple brown sugar flavour? Is that an S&S one? I woukd try mixing it with hot water but give it a 30 sec blast in the microwave, otherwise it might taste a bit uncooked.

S&S Praline bars are STILL out of stock ! Don't know what I'm going to do!! Got about 10 left so I can give them until the end of the week. May have to switch back to CD. Mind you, I prefer their Original Porridge and the Strawberry shakes -- no bits and a nicer flavour.

Goal by September! That sounds good! Hope the honey bar and the theatre are good!

 

[Nefertari]

Yep, it's a S&S one (plain packet) - have apple and cinnamon too! Think my microwave is knackered.

I might try swede chips again one day but I'll boil them first. Obviously my oven is not up to much either!

 

[Nefertari]

Nougat bar 7/10. Very nice but not my favourite. It's quite dry and has an aftertaste. Think that's the honey!

 

[night-owl]

Boo, that doesn't sound good, not at all. Especially as it looks as though they are trying to replace the praline bar with it. Don't know why but I just suspect this the way they don't even list the praline bar with the packs anymore.
