Slim & Save Diary - Newbie

Yeah I've been at my mums for a few days already and brought my food with me. I've decided I will have real food but not going to have beef - I've bought myself some chicken today so I'm having chicken and green veg!

Tonight they are having macaroni cheese so I'm having my macaroni food packet with some green salad leaves and cucumber!

I'm feeling great today not really hungry but I haven't really drunk much water so I'm going to have a pint of water now :)
 
Well done 30TY :) You should feel proud of yourself for not straying from plan and its so much easier to stick to it rather than adding in flavours your not allowed then all of a sudden can't get enough of and end up back where you started :( << been there and done that!

You'll feel so much better getting on the scales knowing you've done it properly rather than getting the feeling ...aaahhh if only i'd stuck to it would I have lost more?? ;)

Drink drink drink ;) doing my Mrs Doyle impression again :D x x x
 
Today has been soooooo much easier. I had the mac cheese tonight with some salad leaves and cucumber and it was so nice. Also the rest of the family were having macaroni cheese for tea so i didnt feel like I was missing out as much.
I didnt feel like having my last shake tonight but I made myself have it about 40mins ago, im deffo in ketosis now as I feel great and I am just not craving food or having a rumbling tummy. I dont know how long that feeling will last but I hope it stays!
I really cant wait until my official weigh in on Wednesday morning... I keep getting on the scales now though and I know I shouldnt... its good results but in the past this has demotivated me if the numbers have not gone down quick enough - or even if I have gone up a lb one day lol.

I somehow need to get out of the habit!

Thanks again for the support I am getting, as I am new I am just starting to take the time to catch up on everyones diarys, I am greatful for your words of encouragement and hopefully I can be there for you too over the coming weeks.

Anyway, im of to bed now but now looking forward to day 5 tomorrow as its another day closer to the slimmer me i am looking for :)
 
This morning I had a hazelnut shake which I have to say was gorgeous - nicest one so far, followed by a 4 mile walk.

Had some chicken, cabbage and brocolli for lunch while everyone else tucked into roast beef and Yorkshire puds followed by raspberry and apple pie and custard!

But by not having my bar at lunch it means I can enjoy it with a cup of tea tonight :)

I'm feeling a little bit hungry - just feel like something really sweet but im not going to cave in I'll just think about my bar and shake I have got to look forward to.

I am going back home today so things shouldn't be as tough then as I haven't got all the naughty food to look at! Will soon be week one over :)
 
It sounds like you're doing brilliantly 30thisyear!! Well done you! Keep up the good work and I'll be popping back to your diary for inspiration when I start my journey on Wednesday :)

Oh YMB2 I shall look forward to reading your diary :) Have you done a VLCD before?
 
Well done for not having the beef :) you'd of been disappointed on the scales if you hadn't stuck close enough to plan. When is your first WI?? x x x
 
Hiya Trueleame

Yeah I was pleased I opted for chicken, its been such a difficult weekend being around so much yummy food. I have watched the family eat alsorts and even helped my mum make sandwiches and slice up cake this afternoon. I nearly caved in so I told her I was going home early so I didnt have to be around the food any longer. At least at my place there is nothing in for me to eat lol.

Weigh in is Wednesday morning so got 2 more days to go. My weight has remained the same for 2 days now so I dont know if i need to be doing anything differently - that said its still a good loss so far!

When do you get weighed next?
 
I dont know whats up with me I am really hungry tonight and just keep thinking about the cake at my mums house. Obviously I didnt have any but I cant stop thinking about sweet stuff now and I left my coke zero there by mistake so cant even have a can of that!!

I think I need an early night in bed, I think I am going to file and paint my nails now and have an early night. I have drunk 2 pints of water and had a packet of chilli and also a truffa bar tonight and I am still hungry. :(

I need to stick at it to get through day five and then tomorrow will be another day! Today is the first day I have felt like giving up, think its because I havent dropped on the scales for 2 days (the reason why I shouldnt weigh daily i know!) and had to sit through the family eating food all day!

Back to work next week so I am sure it will get easier and I can get into a routine.
 
Day 6 :)

Well not long until I've managed a full week and a quarter of the way through (until I have a week off)!

I am so glad I didn't cave in last night - I woke up feeling much better about things and I am just focusing on having another 100% day today!
 
Well done for not caving 30TY you'd of kicked yourself if you had! Its such a smug feeling knowing you've made it another day ;) I had a tough day yesterday and got on the scales this morning and was rewarded for my hard work by another loss :D so can't complain. Can't wait until Friday ~lol~ WI day for me ;) x x x
 
You're doing really well Hun! Well done for not caving in! :)

I tried CD a couple of years ago and lasted 3 days!! Lol! To be honest though my head was in completely the wrong place as I'd just lost a baby and stupidly thought that I'd do a VLCD to take my mind off it :-( it didn't work! This time though I'm raring to go, really excited and in a really really really positive place :-D

Keep going hun you're doing amazingly :)
 
Hi hun just catching up on diarys. Your doing brilliant, well done for not caving and choosing the more sensible options! And the hazelnut shake umm ummm ummmm!! I am addicted litrally haha, keep up the good work :D xx
 
Today I had a Choc cereal shake this morning, a lemon bar for lunch and I have just had mushroom pasta for tea in which I had some mushroom brocolli and cabbage.

I have also been to the shops as I am at a hen do on Saturday night so needed to get a top for it. I have also been swimming and had a sauna.

I am going to have a choc shake tonight warmed up - I haven't had a hot one yet so looking forward to it.

Re the hen do - I wasn't going to go but I decided I would, however I am going to stick to it and drink water :( I'm just worried about coming this far and messing it all up in one night out!! I am tempted to come out of ketosis and drink - my fav drink is vodka lime and soda so it's not very fattening but i think it's better for me to just stay on track.
 
Day 7
Well it's the last day of week one and first day back at work but been 100% had a truffa bar for breakfast with a cuppa at work, had spag Bol for lunch and had chicken lettuce and cucumber for tea all of which I really enjoyed.

Drank plenty of water and had some dr pepper zero! I'm looking forward to my first weigh in tomorrow morning and I'll do my measurements when I get home from work tmrw.

Just got a shake to have this evening but not really bothered about it right now. Think I'll have a vanilla one.
 
Thanks loopy!

Well I have just had official weigh in and I have lost 10.5 lbs :)!!! I was 17s 10lbs this morning :)

I am soooo happy with that, that is certainly motivating me to carry on :)

Hope everyone has a good day!
 
Wow, 30TY. You have done really well. You have also made an awesome decsion to stay on plan and enjoy the hen party. You may find you want to go home a little early as people really drunk get a bit boring ...I have done this a couple of timnes. I'm really glad I did go out, and there's a peverse pleasure in being healthy and sober! You will be so proud of yourself as the lbs keep coming off, and you didn't put one night's partying and hangover as more important than your health and fab slimness that will be yours this summer. I recommend practicing whatevr you are going to say - No one actually asked me or hassled me - I was ready to say the doc told me not to drink, and be vague on why if necessary! Stay AWESOME, 30TY!
