Rachel's weight loss progress

catch up!!

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:45:09 +0200

Well here we are, day 17 already!! All going well, i had my second weigh in last friday and lost 7lbs so thats 19lbs in less than 2 weeks! Next one is in 2 days!

I'm finding it hard to drink enough water though, that does not go down very well with the pharmasist!!
I was struggling also t have all 3 shakes a day, was happy with just 2 but have managed the last 3 days to have 3 so thats in improvement!!

The thought of our holiday and no food is becoming a bit daunting now, hope I get through it!!

Will update on friday with latest weigh in news!!

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 23:20:15 +0200

Well, the day arrived,and I lost......................................................

I think this will keep me focused for the next week, this morning I really wanted to give up and felt awful, but to get a loss like that in 6 days, you cannot expect it to be too easy!! So feeling more positive now, we'll see what the week brings x

days 4 and 5

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:36:25 +0200

DAY 4

This started off really badly again, I woke up in the same mood as I had gone to bed in, as the day went on things improved alot really, I didn't have a head ache,and my mood defintaly improved, best of all I was realising, I could do this, and hoped I was through the worst of it!
Was really proud of myself as a friend brought over a home made lemon drizzle cake (she didn't know about lipotrim) which is my fave but I did not cave in.

DAY 5

Better day today again, woke up feeling fine, and in a really good mood! Had more energy this morning which was good!
Have been quite tempted by food today, a little bit headachy but not sure I have been so good with the water today so that will be why I am sure!
On the whole, I am pleased with nearly completing 5 days and will have to watch myself over the next 4 days as I will not be at work now til tuesday!

WEIGH DAY TOMORROW YAY

Day 3......

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:54:36 +0200

what more can I say, got up had a shake went to work, had a shake for lunch, finished work had a shake for tea, as about as exciting as today got, could so easily have caved in today (I didn't!), have had a headache on and off, felt a little light headed, tired and really really irritable too!!

I know it will be worth it and that it will get easier just hope it happens sooner rather than later!

Still looking forward to my weigh day on friday though, hope it will spur me on!!

I have made it through day 2....

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:44:08 +0200

Well, here I am, day 2, I am supposed to have headaches etc today and *touch wood* have not had one yet!

Went to bed last night feeling really deprived and that I could not face the foreseeable future without eating anything, however, I woke up this morning feeling proud that I had made it through day 1 and feeling positive about today!

Did well despite a visit to Costa Coffee 1st thing where everyone was having hotchocolate and pastries, I however stuck to black coffee and didn't feel like I was missing out! Fed the children with no problems though did have to stop myself from eating a strawberry whilst chopping them up!

Am finding the evenings quite hard and am in need of a hobby!
Discovered that choc shake tastes better with a tsp of coffee added and blended with ice and can kid myself its a frappucinno!!
Looking forward to fridays weigh in!!

1ST DAY ON LIPOTRIM

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 10:02:26 +0200

Today is the 1st day of my new diet, Lipotrim is a meal replacement diet, so from now on it is 3 shakes a day for me! Please do not be fooled into thinking these are anything like 'milkshakes', they are not-or so I have read...

When I woke up this mormning was feeling quite happy until I realised that the big day had arrived! Started off with a big glass of water as per instructions from 'enthusiatic' pharmasist then took Roly for a walk, he got an extra long walk this morning, think it was my way of putting off the shake. Eventually we got home and I added the 'vanilla' powder to the water...yum....and decided to be brave and actually drink it. Do you know what? I actually was not that bad, I mean I am not talking macdonalds thickshake here, or even crusha milkshake but as it goes it was not as bad as I had expected!
Am missing my normal morning cuppa though, but guess I will get used to that! Instead I must replace it with 2 litres of water a day, not somthing I am good at at the best of times so will be good practice!

Well that's one meal down, plenty more to go......
