Thurs 13th Oct

Week 3 weigh in and I have lost another 2.5lb making 12lb in total.  Have to get to the stone mark by next week.  If I lose more than 3lbs,  I get down into the next stone, so that is my real target.

Meals have been going OK although I do miss the hot soups for lunch.  I have been having

porridge/granola for breakfast
Protein bar for lunch
meat meal for tea
hot shake for bedtime.

Roll on next thurs for the next weigh in.  Will try to keep off the scales each day to get a surprise at the end of the week.

Sunday 25th September 2011

Well it has been a few months since I last posted and still havent had the go ahead to go back to the gym.

Spent 3 weeks in Florida and only put on 2 lbs but have put a few more on since so I have decided to take drastic action and do a very low calorie diet (VLCD) for a few weeks, where you have between 600 and 800 calories a day.  I searched all about for which one to do and they all seem much of a muchness,  it is only hte price that varies, so I went with one from ebay.  (They also have their own website which works out cheaper than ebay http://billysdiet.com/

Each day you have 2 shakes and 2 soups and 2 1/2 litres of water. 

Although I havent really felt that hungry,  I did have a mild headache for day 2 and 3 and I felt very tired.  Day 4 today and I do feel better so hopefully I am getting used to it and it will get easier.

Weight loss after 3 days is 4lbs.  I will post again on Thurs with my weekly weigh in results.

Sunday 17th July

Well week one of bootcamp style diet complete. - well I only actually managed 6 days as we were out to a BBQ last night but very happy to say that I have lost 4.5lbs in the week.  I am back into it again today to try for another week.  I am eating out Saturday lunch at Frankie & Bennys but other than that, there is no reason why I cannot be good all week.  (And I will even try to be good at Frankie & Bennys.)

Today,  I have had

Breakfast: donut peach - new breed of peach that I love.
Lunch: mediteranean veg with chicken, muller light
Tea: Butternut squah & chickpe tagine.

Friday 15th July

Well had a fairly good couple of days, just got to wait until weigh in on Sunday morning to see just how good.

Thursday, I was good all day and had made a tomato dahl for tea.  I got the boys pizza so I could get on with the cleaning as soon as I got in from work but I sucummed to temptation.  I had one slice of pizza and a few handfuls of spiral fries.  I did get offered another pizza slice though and I did turn it down.

Friday

Breakfast - melon
Lunch - Mediterranean chicken with salad
Snack - fruit salad whilst watching Harry Potter in the cinema.
Tea - tomato dahl that I cooked last night.

Overall, very pleased with my willpower over the past 6 days,  can I keep it up for anther 2 weeks?
