WannabeSkinnyMinnie's Fat to Fab Diary 2013

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

It looks quite hardcore!! I guess you have to do it every day for 30 days and missing a day would impact results? I'm happy with my hula hopping though might try the shred thing in the summer hols when I could do it consistently!

So, you know the vanilla coffee shakes, do people have them hot or cold? I can't find the thread that tells you how to make them!!

 

[ED.]

Both hot and cold hun, I make the hot all different ways. Make the Vanilla shake as normal, but with 150ml of cold water. In a cup, add 100ml boiling water to some coffee, then pour that into the shake. Another way i do it is boil the kettle a few seconds so the water warms not boils. Then pour 250ml of that with coffee and add the shake I always use my shaker bottle with all my shakes though xx

Hi
I am a bit of a gym bunny and think doing even a little bit of exercise really helps to tone up.
I put weight on if I stop going to the gym for any length of time so only doing the amount of exercise you feel you can keep up at the end of your weight loss journey seems like a very good idea to me.

Thanks Mere. Would like to tone up my thighs and upper arms as i go along mainly but without getting muscly body builder biceps lol xx

Hehehe! Can't get over the licking twiglets - that's tickled me lol xx

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

The good thing is on this diet you still lose weight even if you don't do loads and loads of exercise! Though obviously to tone its very important!

Weighed on the wii today- its been 2 weeks and showed I'd lost 9lb- it told me it was unhealthy to lose weight over a short period of time and said I could go into weight rebound lol. Told off by technology!! LOL

Can't wait to try my vanilla coffee shake later

Thought I'd attach this pic.... beautiful flowers from my mum for losing my first stone She's going to treat me for every stone I lose bless her

The thing with the shred is, you will get fast results if you do it every day, for 30 days.
I did this last time, and did achieve great results
But there is no rules that say you HAVE to do it every day. If you can only manage doing it 2 or 3 times week, then so be it ,

Gorgeous flowers Minnie, and LOL about the Wii haha! You're doing fab, enjoy the Vanilla coffee! xx

 

[ali28]

Haha told off by technology, brilliant!


Those flowers are beautiful, what a lovely thing to do xx

Gorgeous flowers! How amazing is your mum? I love flowers and have not had any for ages... Must tell hubby lol xxx
I miss my wii, sold it as we got an Xbox and kinect but I miss my wii fit so been looking at pre owned ones... I've told hubby I'd like 1, he's not amused lol xxx

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

Ahh yeh she is fab! She knows how unhappy I get and is pleased to see something working for me. (She also understands how hard it is and wants to treat me!)

I don't really use the wii that much! When I first got it I used it all the time but found the novelty wore off after a while! It must be very confused every time I get on there including the past 2 years my weight is always really different!


So did a ketostx test- it was negative! Boo! Must have been the twiglets!

 

[ED.]

I learnt a while back to stop using Ketostix so i wouldnt worry in the slightest! They are hit and miss, and a lot of dieticians advise you dont use them as they are not reliable. I really cant believe a few licks of some twiglets will have done anything hun! Yes maybe if you'd eaten a whole bag or two! I started off using Ketostix a lot but now its been weeks, i dont bother anymore xx

Yeah I did here that but they were fine up until today but I did drink lots of water just before test- don't know if that counts?! I also had that chicken and salad y'day but they are suppose to be keto friendly foods! I feel heavier though- I felt really light after my loss last week but feel I've put on! Weird mental feeling! lol

Ah the water yeah, that deffo could have watered down your wee! Best time to test if you must is first thing in the morning. You're right - its all mental. When you get your next WI you can relax better xx

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

I know its so weird but I do feel really full and bloated! I haven't been to the loo in 3 days which is strange because even since I've been on this diet I've always gone daily!! Perhaps it could be that!

Im sure I'll find out on Fridays weigh in!

 

[ali28]

The last few days I've been really full & bloated too, tried some movicol - omigod - only had 1 sachet and it worked lol

Sorry prob tmi!!

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

Yeh I tried some senokot on Friday night which usually works but to no avail! I haven't tried movicol- perhaps I should! I just worry with taking laxatives that I'll have issues at work!

I'll have to go back to taking my husks regularly I think!

 

[ali28]

Hmm I was going to get some senokot but for the price of a packet you can get 30 sachets. They work quickly. However be warned, they taste vile! Gonna have to mix some in coke zero to get rid of the taste, bleurgh!!

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

So another day nearly dusted! Had the most lush shake earlier- vanilla with a little bit of the orange mix you put in water in it. It was delicious!

For tea, I tried mixing half vanilla and half choc. The chocolate taste was so over powering. I find it has a funny taste and an even worse after taste! Anyone else experience this?

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

I know when ever I make the choc shske at work, everyone comments on the dirty mop smell
I don't have the heart to tell then its my coffee choc drink !!!
