Weigh in 1

Well I've completed a week. Well done me - it's not been easy but actually it's not been that hard either.

Well the big news my first weigh in........7.5 lbs off

Thats more than I've ever lost in 1 week before - it's fantastic. I wasn't the biggest loser in my group, actually the majority lost around 10lbs each but I'm not disappointed with that it's not a competition.

So I'm really pleased, and I've got me "meals" for the next week now, I've gone mostly for the shakes, with just 3 soups just to break up the sweetness a bit, This week I'm allowed bars instead of 1 soup/shake. I greedily bought the nut, toffee and lemon bars. The nut bar was a mistake - its just reconstituted cardboard with a few nuts thrown in. The toffee bar was quite nice though. I'll try the lemon tomorrow.

I also bought the water flavourings. It is very nice, really makes the water go down easier but......the flavourings have added inulin, which is a fibre that helps your bowels to work properly. It certainly worked on me...too well . I'll be rationing it's use in future.

Well I'm super postive now, I know I can get through this so fingers crossed for next weeks weigh in.

WOW!

7.5 pounds - That's amazing!  Congratulations on all your hard work!  Look at your Weight Loss Chart!  Doesn't it look fantastic?  Keep up the good work!

The Worst Is Over!

Hi Elsa,

Many thanks for your comment on my blog, and many congratulations on getting through your first week.  If you are anything like me, once I  passed the first week, it was then much easier to keep the momentum going.  I certainly agree with you about the water flavourings - boy I have suffered, and have now learnt to only use them to flavour my mousse (a shake, mixed with a little water).

Try the nut bar again later on in the diet, and you may find that it actually tastes better.  I was told that when I first took a bite out of the MDF bar, that I quickly spat in the bin!  I was persuaded this week by the others in the group to give it another try, and it wasn't too bad (not brilliant, but not bad!)  When you get to week 11 in the diet, you may want to try most variations!!

I wish you the very best of luck - this diet really does work!

Sally
