RD and Sherrie get shrinking!!

[Russiandoll]

Day 2 - Gone well so far, still got a shake left to have yet, been busy all day today so had my bar for brunch, then my first shake at tea time. Im not hungry I just feel peckish. My hands are particularly cold tonight though x x x

... it's nearly November Sherrie

Seriously - well done on day 2. I've found it not too bad either. Had the same as yesterday only with veggie soup for dinner. Yum - very nice with a good natural veggie flavour (especially pea)

The weekend will be a challenge as I normally eat out at least once. I don't feel remotely close to wavering though so I think I'll be ok. I'm going to try and get some ketostix tomorrow - I just like 'knowing'.
Bring on day 3

 

[xSherrie.Chointellex]

I usually have lunch out somewhere at the weekend, even if its just a £3.50 carvery so Im hoping I will find something else for us to do to keep my mind off food. Im doing ok so far today although I need to drink more, still haven't had anything to 'eat' yet, going to prepare a shake in a sec along with some marmite toast for my daughter...how tempting lol. Im feeling strong though as I know how much I want to be slim!

My hands are still cold now, particularly the tips of my fingers, so I def think Im going into ketosis. Trust us to start a VLCD with winter approaching lol hopefully all the shivering with help shed some pounds too haha x

You go to Inn by the Sea as well eh?

I normally eat out at the weekend as well but won't be doing that this weekend. I do want to get into some kind of normality very soon though so will probably start returning to 'the places we eat out' and just have a bar and coffee. I did it before so I know I can manage it. As restarts go, I feel FAR more positive than I have in the past and am actually starting to believe I can do this!!

I had a chocolate shake for breakfast. I loved the mild creamy taste and, again, no chemical after-taste so thumbs up.
I actually don't feel hungry so I'm wondering if I'm also going into ketosis. I didn't eat a carb heavy diet generally before I started so it's possible. I'm going to try and get some ketostix today.

The sun is shining and I'm feeling positive so bring on the rest of the day. Have a great one Sherrie xx

I love the Inn by the Sea lol. Cant go wrong. A roast has definitely got to be one of my favourite meals. When I was growing up my Mum always done home cooking, 5 nights out of 7 she would have cooked something from scratch so Im a sucker for a proper meal. Im not into fast food much at all, decent home cooking but just loads of it! Lol my Mum blames herself for my weight issues as I always had a big appetite and as my appetite grew so did my dinners, I was having dinners the same size as my dads by the age of around 13 but I don't blame her at all, she always fed us decent food, I love my fruit and veg yet Im fat lol. Obviously its not her fault as I have PCOS.

How much are the Ketostix? I think Im already in ketosis too as Im not hungry either, I just know I havnt eaten and as I said before my hands are freezing all the time lol thankyou and good luck for day 4! x

I just bought some today from Lloyds Pharmacy for £5.31 (box of 100 so will last forever! lol)

If you want, I can put a few in an envelope and either post them to you or put them through your door early next week (depends if you can wait that long!) ... most people have no need for 100 of them! If you're interested, pm me your address

Keep up the good work Sherrie! x

 

[Sarette]

All the best ladies! Am posting so I am subscribed. Will follow you on your journey xx

 

[xSherrie.Chointellex]

I've been a little naughty today as its day 4, kind of the half way point, and weighed myself...I'm so glad that I did as its given me a little boost to keep going, 8lbs lost in 4 days Im now 13st 13½lbs so Im also into a lower stone bracket I already posted in my diary that if my loss started to slow down towards the end of the week I'd still be chuffed with this as a final first week loss x x x

I responded on you diary to say I do the same thing

I did it last night and have ALSO lost 8lb so we're on the same path Sherrie. I'm hoping to lose another couple by Thursday - although I'm visiting my daughter in Plymouth so may have to post my result on Friday instead.

We're both doing fantastically and deserve pats on the back!

 

[xSherrie.Chointellex]

Well done!!! 2lbs a day is fantastic! I would be really chuffed with myself for losing 2lbs a week at slimming world so Im ecstatic right now

We do deserve pats on the back haha x

 

[Barb]

Going great guns girls! Well done. You both sound really focused and upbeat. Brilliant.

 

[Susienoz]

Wow I hope my loss will be as good as yours. Well done X

 

[xSherrie.Chointellex]

Thankyou both

 

[christmasfairy1]

Well done both you are an inspiration !! X

 

[Russiandoll]

Thanks ladies - your support means so much. As you all know, staying focussed is SO important on these diets. Take your eye off the ball or put things on the back burner and before you know it, you're chomping on something you shouldn't and everything goes to rats.

We CAN do this Sherrie! :cross:

I'm so glad you suggested about setting up this thread RD, it really is keeping me on track. I get a huge boost from reading all the messages of support, thanks everyone x x x

Hi Sherrie

How's it going today chick?

I've had a strawberry shake (thumbs up again for taste I'm glad to say) and a large cup of black coffee. I'm LOVING the Milicano I bought. It's a 'proper' cup of coffee but not bitter at all. I know some instant coffees make me screw up my face when I'm drinking them - not with this stuff though. Worth the £3 I paid!

I'm going to have soup of lunch because I'm going out tonight and taking a bar. I love the flexibility of this diet.

More later x

Hi Russian Doll, I am definatly going to invest in some husks once pay day gets here and can't wait to switch to Exante...CD shakes just have a weird chemical smell and taste...bareable but like taking medicine....I also live on the south coast...Bognor Regis...or Bog End as we call it, weighed in at 16st 7lb and have the same issue...work in further education and can't just leave the class and run to the loo....so have started this week whilst I'm home for half term....day three and still hanging in. Everyones at work today though and the house is empty...hope I don't crack and eat...don't feel much like socialising so will stay home...and stay on the computer............hope your going well, read your blog and see your in ketosis...lucky you...and well done.

Definitely get your husks from Oneon (here's the link)

Psyllium Husk Powder 900g. Buy online, http://www.oneon.co.uk/

I got three times the amount for the same price elsewhere. It's more finely milled - looks like sand - but I've tried it and it's even better than the other stuff as it's not 'bitty' at all. Go easy with it though - a rounded teaspoon in each shake or soup is plenty. Any more than that and you'll end up with a thick gloopy mess! lol.
Also - don't 'over-mix' ... I give mine a 10 second blast with my Hinari Genie (for shakes) and my Braun hand blender (for soups) and that's plenty. I put the water into the container, pour the pack in so it's floating, pop a spoonful of PH on top then blitz.
Job done!

Keep up the great work PD - you'll be in ketosis in no time and then it'll all get that little bit easier.

Sending positive vibes :vibes:

Today is going well thankyou RD, how's it for you?

Not feeling hungry at all and I'm actually seeing it as part of my lifestyle now. I definitely think I could carry on with this until Im at my goal weight

Tonight will be a little testing though as we are at my daughters Granddads house for dinner as we do every Monday evening, and they always put on a lovely dinner. But I will just keep thinking of how I will look at my goal weight and get through it :girlpower:
