I have defiantly put on a few pounds over Christmas! Back to healthy eating and exercising more! I shall be starting on the 1st Jan as tomorrow night we are having a sort of new years buffet type thing. 

I have decided that the days I am at work I wont exercise because I am rushed off feet for sometimes 8 hours, walking around etc so I don't see the point in exercising on these days. As for the other days I am going to use the cross trainer I have at home and do some youtube video workouts. Hopefully when the weather gets warmer I shall go for walks as well.

 I shall get back to eating the way I did when I was on my diet, although not as strict, I just watched a video on pixiwoomadness where Sam talks about her diet/weight loss. She said that her brother who is a personal trainer goes by the saying 'if you can't pick it or kill it, don't eat it' (something like that!) I shall link the videos below. Which is basically saying no processed food, which I did stick to before and I hope to again! I shall every now and again probably break this but as long as I stick to it as best as I can I shall be happy. 

 I haven't been to see my consultant since the end of November, I did say to her that I was going to go back in January but I am hoping that I won't need to. I am hoping that I can do this from now on by myself to shed the pounds I put on over Christmas and to drop the last few that I wanted to drop. It is just mainly on my stomach that I have a problem with but by wearing skater dresses you can't really see it that well! Thank god for them! 

 I also did start a food diary but I haven't been writing in it a lot but I shall hopefully start to do this again as I think that sometimes by looking at what you have eaten it can help. 

 So hopefully I shall get back to how I was before Christmas, no more junk!

Haven't updated for a few weeks as I have been busy. Had my weigh in today, I am now 4lb off my goal weight but I do want to lose slightly more so lets say half a stone-ish.

I have really shrunk although my boobs are still quite big but I do need to invest in some new bras. I am currently wearing a 34E but I think I need a 32E as my back has shrunk over the past few weeks. As for clothes I can get into a size 8/10 top depending on the style and where it is from. On the bottom 10 again depending on the style and where it is from. I have only shrunk down a couple of sizes but it still feels weird seeing a smaller version of myself in the mirror. Though in my head I am still the more curvier version of myself I guess over time this will change?

My diet I am having one shake a day normally on the night, with 30g of cereal in the morning and a piece of chicken with veg or salad for lunch. This was meant to change today I think but my normal consultant wasn't in and so the lady I saw just told me to stick to it for this week. I am meant to be adding a piece of fruit to my diet and then in a few weeks take away the last shake for another meal so hopefully this will happen next weekend!

Wednesday:

I am writing this a few days before my weekly update as today I had my implant taken out today. As my periods were every week my consultant thought it would be a good idea to have my contraceptive implant taken out as it is a few months away from my 3 year deadline anyway. The implant is a small rod that gets injected into your arm, it then releases hormones into your body which controls your period and may even stop it for the 3 years. Mine never stopped it just helped control it, however since being on this diet it hasn't been controlling my periods at all. So my consultant told me it would benefit me to come off it and go back onto the pill.

The whole taking it out process wasn't the best experience, the local anaesthetic went fine, I am alright with needles. However then the doctor had to cut my arm open slightly, with this I went slightly faint as I knew what she was doing and I could hear it. The doctor who had put the implant in had put it in too deep, so the doctor was struggling to get it out. In the end it took half an hour to remove it, the nurse and doctor had to put loads of pressure on my arm to get the implant to poke out of the hole for the doctor to remove it. Very uncomfortable process!

I was able to start taking the pill from today, which is great so I hopefully won't have another period for a month now, fingers crossed!

As for the eating cereal, it's weird, because I am used to having semi-skimmed milk with cereal it just doesn't taste the same. I have been having the corn flakes nearly dry because of the skimmed milk, it just doesn't have much taste to it at all. I have found that by having a cup of tea with it helps a lot.

Weight wise I think my weight has stayed the same just because of eating more carbs than I have been used to. I guess I shall see on saturday!

Saturday:

Just come back from my weigh in, I have actually lost another pound this week, which means I have just over half a stone to lose. My consultant was really please as with the extra carbs and the hormone change because of what I said above she didn't think I would have lost anything and I felt the same.

She said that if next week I have lost 1-2 lb she wants to introduce a piece of fruit to my daily intake to introduce some natural sugar, such as an apple. Then the week after hopefully to take away my last product for a few days a week and introduce another healthy meal. This way she said I will still be eating healthy but losing weight to reach my goal weight and maintain it. So I will not be relying on the products to lose weight.

I have gotten used to eating cereal even with the different milk. My arm is healing, it was slightly bruised and is still a bit sore but apart from this I am fine. I haven't had any signs of having another period and I haven't been that hungry either.
09:17
This week I lost a couple of pound I would have lost more, but I had been bloated all week and came on again on Thursday. It is really starting to annoy me now because I have been coming on every single week which means I am constantly feeling like a whale.

My consultant decided to change my diet, I am now allowed to have one bowl of 30g cereal in the morning which shall be corn flakes, with a meal for lunch and a shake for dinner. Hopefully with this and having my implant taken out of Wednesday and start to take the pill it shall control my periods and therefore control my weight loss. I shall hopefully stop having periods and being bloated all the time, this has been kind of depressing me. I know I have lost weight and I can kind of see it but I feel too bloated to wear anything tight, I have been wearing baggy clothes.

I am coming to the end of my diet now as I have 9lbs to lose to my goal weight although I may change this to be a few pounds lighter than my goal weight, still keeping in with the healthy zone for my height. This is another reason why my consultant changed my diet, because as I am coming to the end of my diet she wants me to start to slowly introduce more carbs and fibre plus more actual food and not shakes.
10:10
Lost 5lbs this week so it means I am 10lbs off my goal weight, but I do want to drop a few more pounds just so I am more into the healthy zone for my height. So 12-13lbs really, less than a stone though!!!

My consultant said that probably next week after my weigh in she will talk to me about not having a shake for breakfast but to have some type of food instead as I am nearly to the end of it all. She did say that when I do this my body may not lose anything for a week but then hopefully I shall be back on track.

It is my birthday next month on the 13th so I am hoping that I will not be on the diet anymore by then, fingers crossed!
09:43
This week I have lost 4 pounds, I am now only 13 lbs off my original goal weight I do plan on losing a few pounds more just to be on the safe side but to still be in the healthy category for my height. Nothing really has changed, I did ask about having the bars as my mom has been having them. However my consultant said that because they have more stuff in them she doesn't want me to have them because I am doing so well on my diet at the moment, which I am quite happy with sticking to. I did have a biscuit this week but apart from that I haven't had anything else.

Clothing wise, skirts that I brought a few weeks before my diet do not fit me anymore, they are far too loose. They were in a size 12 and now they are way too baggy it looks weird to wear. I did try to wear a belt with one today but I just couldn't make it work right. I can feel my hip bones a lot more now my skin is about 1inch to half an inch away from them. My collar bones are defiantly more visible as well. I haven't took my measurements in a while so I shall do that either some point later on today or tomorrow.  I have gone down 4 cup sizes with my bras! Which is great because of the size I used to be I could only get my size off the internet or from ann summers which were expensive. I can now go into Asda and buy their bras which are so much cheaper, I got two today for £9. I do not want to start buying loads in case I go even smaller but I do need some for now as I am wearing bras that are far too big for me.

That is it really! (:

It has been a weird week, I weighed myself on Tuesday and I had lost 5-6lbs since Sat. However I had another time of the month. This has been my 3rd one in just over a month. So I have been horribly bloated and so when I was weighed today I was the same weight as I was last week. I look thinner and feel thinner and my consultant said I look a lot thinner but because of how bloated I am getting from the water my body is retaining it doesn't show on the scales. (Edit Sunday next day, weighed myself again this morning and I am back down to the weight I was on Tuesday so hopefully it will stick! Defiantly less bloated now as well thank god!)

My consultant wants me to visit the doctors, as because I have the implant in my arm she says it could be effecting how bloated I am getting plus the amount of periods I have been having in a month! Thinking about it since I have had the implant (2 and half years now) I have always been quite bloated when it was my time of the month. When I was bigger it wasn't that noticeable but now that I am getting thinner it is more obvious. So I plan to visit my doctor sometime in the next few weeks to see what they can do.

I feel a lot healthier my skin just feels amazing! It is so smooth! My face is looking a lot thinner as well, I have always had quite chubby cheeks but they have gone! It so strange looking at photos from a few months ago to find that I look so different now. It's great! If my weight goes back down in the next few days I have just about 1 stone to lose until I reach my goal weight. It means that I would have lost 1 and half stone in just over 6 weeks which is amazing! Ideally I would like to be lower than my goal weight but my consultant said that if I go 5 pounds lower which is what I wanted to do I will actually be classed as being underweight, which is not something I really want to do. I am going to see how I feel when I reach my goal weight and if I feel I need to lose the odd pound or two more then I shall but I do not want to lose so much that I become underweight. I still want to be curvy but healthy! (:
10:19
It is a few hours before my weigh in, this week I haven't exercised as much as I had done last week, the heat is horrible. I have been walking quite a bit but when I am home I just want to lie in front of my fan because it is just too hot to do anything. I don't think I have lost that much this week but I defiantly look thinner.

I went into shopping yesterday as my clothes are beginning to not fit me so I need to get a few cheap things that I can wear while I am losing weight. Also my wardrobe isn't really suited for this weather, I do have dresses but I am doing some work experience beginning Monday for two weeks so I can't wear dresses etc to do some prop making as I do not want to get messy! I therefore brought a few cheap tops that I can wear with some leggings or shorts while on my work experience. Anyway normally I go for a size 12 on top but I decided to try a size 10. The top I tried fitted me which was amazing, it was a tiny bit tight on my chest but apart from that it was fine!

I have really noticed how I am becoming less curvy, I have never really had a huge stomach I was more wider sideways than going out from my stomach, if that makes sense. I can feel my hip bones a lot more than before, I am probably about an inch off from actually seeing them. It just amazes me how much my body has changed in such a short amount of time.

Had my weigh in, I lost nearly 3 lbs this week, I didn't think I had lost that much as I had been weighing myself during the week. As I haven't been exercising I didn't expect to have lost as much. I am still happy with the weight I have lost this week as it is slowly all coming off! I have therefore so far lost 16-17 lbs in 5 weeks which is great! My bmi is going down a lot which is what I wanted. Just 1 lb of fat is a lot, I keep on picturing this photo every time I lose 1 lb because its amazing how much 1 lb of fat is:




Even though I know I have lost weight seeing myself every day I don't realise how much of a difference there is at the moment, I am nearly half way through my diet and already the changes are amazing.







14:07
This week I have lost 3 pounds which puts me to 14 and a half pounds lost so I have just lost over a stone in a month. Which is where I wanted to be!

My body is being very weird at the moment though, I finished my period last Tuesday, I felt like a water balloon for about a week to then find that Wednesday my body had planned another period for me. No wonder I had been feeling like crap and like a huge whale. Ergh. I told my consultant about it today and she had said that this was the reason why I hadn't lost anything last week, my body is adjusting to the rapid weight loss and this was its way of coping. It is hard when you are a girl because of your hormones etc your body can just store loads of water because of this which can make you feel like crap. The past few days I have been feeling better, less like a water balloon more like a person.

Nothing has changed in my diet, I have been having two cambridge foods with one normal food meal a day. I am feeling full and satisfied at the end of the day. I am still doing my exercise and will continue to do so, I try to do about a 6-10 minute routine every night along with walking quite a bit during the day. I am trying to tone my body up as well as drop the weight. I do not want to over do myself in the exercise as I am not eating much as it is so too much exercise is bad for me.

So from losing just over 1 stone in a month I should therefore only be on this diet for another month and a half to two months depending on how my body reacts to the weight loss. If my body acts like it did in the first few weeks then I shall lose it a lot quicker but by the beginning of August I shall be nearly at my goal weight hopefully! (:
10:47
I had my weigh in earlier, I was a bit disappointed because I hadn't actually lost anything this week, which is weird! I have lost another inch all over basically so I found it strange that I haven't lost anything. I was told that I could be retaining water from my period because it has finished a few days ago, I do feel bloated I have done all week really so this is probably true! I was told that because I am a woman my body will obviously react when it is the time of the month so this is what has happened! I have only snacked once which is that I had a tiny chip off my boyfriend's plate but that is it!

I think maybe I haven't been drinking enough water as well, I haven't been home all the time I have been out so it is kind of difficult to drink loads of water when I am not at home. I always carry a bottle of water with me and I have been getting through this and then drinking more when I am at home. However it has been really hot the past few days here in the UK so I need to drink more than what I have been drinking.

I have done a few bits of exercise, well it's not exercise as in working out but I have been doing some building for some of the work experience I am doing this week. Quite a bit of lifting heavy items and carrying them up a few flights of stairs, and then quite a bit of walking. I need to do more exercise but not so much that I have no energy left because I am not eating a lot.

I found this youtuber 'Blogilates' Cassey Ho is her name, she is a fitness instructor and does some exercise routines some are short about 6-10 minutes and some are longer. I am going to do some of the short ones, one or two a day hopefully! I just did this one just (link below), which is called Victoria Secret Supermodel Stiletto Legs Workout. It is a leg routine which works on your butt as well in heels, it kills! I managed to do the whole workout wobbling a bit as I did it in 5.5 inch heels! You do really feel it on your legs and butt during and after. It was only about 6 minutes long so doing these type of routines daily will help me get toned as well as help to lose the weight.

Cassey also does some cheap and clean eating recipes. I have been looking at recipes for once I am back on eating normal food. I know that my consultant is going to make me a diet plan but I want to look for myself as well to find some recipes that I can use that will be healthy for me. Some of the foods she makes I wouldn't eat, but I could always use food that I would eat but cook it in the same way she does or substitute some of the ingredients for ones that I like. I came across the coconut flour recipe that she uses for making tortilla wraps. I never even knew that coconut flour existed! This is something I would love to try, or even make with a very low carb flour.

When I have finished with the cambridge diet I would want to start making my own food from scratch. This way I will know what would be going into the food I am eating and I will feel better about the food that I am eating. Also it would mean that my cooking skills will be getting better, I love to cook but I used to mainly bake cakes etc (I don't even eat the things that I bake I just love to cook!) my mom would normally cook my dinner for me so I didn't really have a choice of what I could eat. I want to take control on my diet as I am doing now and I want this to continue when I start eating normal food again.


13:40
I had kind of noticed that my body was looking a bit different the past week. I measured myself yesterday although I was kind of bloated from time of the month visiting me, but I thought well I might as well just see what the tape measure says. Last night it had said that I had lost 1-3 inches basically everywhere on my body. Which is great! I am just under half way through the weight loss so I am probably looking at another 3 inches or so coming off my body, maybe more in certain areas who knows! However I woke up this morning not feeling as bloated as I had been and decided to measure my stomach which the day before had said that I had lost 2 inches since starting this diet, well those 2 inches were actually 4!!! Which is amazing!

I had brought some shorts and jeggings from primark ages ago in the size I would normally have gotten. However I didn't try them on in the shop and when I tried them on at home they were a bit too tight they seemed like they were smaller than the size they actually were, so I planned on taking them back but never got round to it. I tried them both on this morning and now they fit and are a bit too big on me! I am just amazed at how fast my body is changing, things look better on me, I feel healthier, I just feel quite good about everything at the moment.

A lot of my clothes I am finding don't really fit me anymore. A lot of tops are really baggy on me which I can deal with and I normally wear leggings which are cheap to buy, but I am going to need to start altering some of my clothes that I want to keep once I have got down to my goal weight. I do not want to throw everything away because I have brought a lot of maxi skirts and dresses over the past few months ready for the summer. They are only from primark but I love every one of them so I am not going to throw them away! I shall just alter them with the help of my nan. I will be throwing away some other things or maybe even giving them to my mom as she is bigger than me and will need some clothes to wear when she gets down to the size that I used to be.
11:58
I have been good this week again, not eating anything apart from what I have meant to be eating. I haven't been having my last shake at night because I just haven't been hungry. I am going to talk to my consultant about removing the last shake because:

1) I don't seem to need it

2) I can't afford to keep on paying nearly £40 a week for food. I haven't got a job at the moment, I thought by now I would have a job but I haven't. I have had to sign on which is annoying but I need money to live. I have got work experience and voluntary work lined up with some places so hopefully I will get a job out of that or find myself a part time job while I do work in the film, Tv and theatre industry.

So I plan to discuss this with my consultant after my meeting in about 3 hours. (It is now 1pm my weigh in time is 4.30pm).

As far as body changes, I have felt thinner, most of all in my stomach area and chest. However middle of the week I found that the time of the month fairy had visited me early which I was told would happen. Because the body is going under changes, not getting much food and losing weight you will find that your body just wants to get rid of the hormones because you are getting smaller it thinks that it doesn't need it as much as it used to. So I have been feeling quite crap because of the diet and time of the month, but I haven't snacked or anything like that like I normally would. So yay!


So boys and girls I have just had my weigh in it is now about 5pm and drum roll please.... I have lost 6.4 pounds this week! Which gives a total of 11.9 pounds in 2 weeks! She said that in a few days I would have lost a stone so I will be about half way to my goal loss by next Saturday! I was actually really shocked because of it being my time of the month and everything I was expecting not to lose that much maybe a couple of pound but not nearly half a stone!

I asked her about just having the 2 meals with them and then the 1 normal meal and she said that was totally fine. She also said that my time of the month could be even longer just because of the dramatic weight loss. She said that she could tell straight away that I had lost a lot because I look smaller. I admit I do feel it I am finding that clothes are becoming baggy etc but I can't see it for myself. She said that I should go and try on some clothes as I should be able to fit into smaller sizes now.
09:04
I haven't been posting about my diet in the past few days just because what I say about each day seems to be basically the same. I am now just going to do a weekly one on every Sat/Sun as I get weighed on the weekend.
12:09
I had a vanilla shake for breakfast with chicken and mushroom soup for lunch.

I had my weigh in at half 4, I have lost 5.5 pounds in my first week which is great! She said its like I had a small baby.

I took away with me vanilla shakes with chicken and mushroom, mushroom and veg soup for the next week. She told me to keep on doing what I am doing, she is hoping that I lose another 4 pound by next weekend. So I should have lost by the end of the month just over 1 stone.

I am feeling a lot better about myself while I have been doing this diet. She also said that I will begin to feel like I have more energy because I will be lighter and my heart won't be under so much pressure. She said that my skin will also be looking better as well.

I have just had tuna, egg and veg for dinner. Yum!
10:25
Today I had the vanilla shake, with mushroom and chicken soup, and cod, egg and veg for dinner. I am going to have another shake later on.

Today is my mom's birthday, I did quite well considering. My close family came around they all had kfc and chip shop, my mom had a bit as well. Then after everyone had birthday cake and cheesecake, I made both of these. It was actually quite horrible making them thinking that I won't actually have any. I wouldn't have liked the cake anyway but I do love the cheesecake I made. The cheesecake was a lot thinner than I normally make it, because I made it for more than just the 5 of us there was 10 of us so I made it in a different tin so there would smaller thinner portions to go around.

In the end I had a tiny bit of cheesecake because I was craving it. I thought about it and if I didn't give in then I would continue craving it until it drove me mad. It is all psychological, the reason I was craving it was not just because it is nice food, but because in my mind I told myself I wasn't allowed any and therefore I wanted it, because I couldn't have it. So I did give in, I had a few spoons of it and then that was it. I do not want to have to think that just because I am on a diet I am not allowed tiny bits of food that I crave, because it will effect me psychologically. If I crave something I will most likely give in to some extent. We normally do not have treats in the house very often so the cheesecake was a one off, we only normally have it for birthdays.

Apart from that today has been good, I have been feeling full for longer, still no headaches which means I am drinking enough. It is my weigh in tomorrow, I am kind of hoping that my consultant will say she wants me to try soul sourcing because I do want to try doing it.
13:55
Yesterday I had vanilla shake for breakfast, mushroom and chicken soup for lunch and a piece of chicken with veg for dinner. I actually forgot to have my last shake, I wasn't even hungry after that though. So I think that I might soul source next week if my consultant gives me that option. However I think I may do two shakes and a meal because I need something to chew.
02:25
I forgot to post last night.

I had a vanilla shake in the morning and the night, with chicken and mushroom soup for lunch. For dinner I had some cod with veg and an egg. I find that fish defiantly fills me up more than chicken but I do love chicken so I will still be having that as well.

I haven't been getting headaches like my mom has, I think it is because I do drink a lot normally. I also have my tea in very large mugs which are about twice the size of a normal mug. I have about 3-4 cups of tea a day so I am drinking a lot of water normally.

I still seem to be losing a pound a day.

It is my mom's birthday on Friday, she is coming off the diet for the one day so she can have some birthday cake etc. I am not going to do this, I plan to stick to the diet even though it will be hard to say no to a bit of cheesecake but I have the will power to do it!
02:54
Nothing really to say today, another good day!

I had mushroom soup which was lovely, I am really liking the soups! I also had a vanilla shake, the vanilla shake is my favourite out of all of the shakes at the moment. For dinner I had some tuna, veg and an egg, a bit of an odd combo there really, but it was actually really nice! For pudding I plan to have the orange chocolate shake.

I am defiantly feeling more full today, I did get hungry earlier but every time I have a drink the hunger seems to go away. I think I am feeling more full because I got up later which means I ate later than I would if I got up at 7.
09:21
Today has been a good day. I did weigh myself this morning and I had lost 1 pound, I wasn't going to weigh myself but I just can't help it! I have also brought some mouth spray as I am worried about the bad breath side effect!

I had vegetable soup for breakfast because I would be at uni at lunch time so I wouldn't have been able to actually make myself some soup at uni but I would be able to do a shake. The vegetable soup was lovely! I could tell it had peppers in which I do not like, but it wasn't that bad at all, it was very nice. It reminded me of the chicken and mushroom pot noodles for some reason because it was quite tangy but not spicy.

For lunch I had the vanilla shake, I got a few weird looks from people at uni for walking around drinking a shake most of them thought it was milk apparently! I love the vanilla shake I drank it all, it has been the best flavour for me to have so far.

Tonight I am going to have chicken, peas and mushrooms again for dinner. I was going to have tuna but then mom said about having the chicken again because we both loved it last night. Then for pudding I plan to have a chocolate or chocolate orange shake. I think I may have the chocolate as I haven't tried that yet.

I have had a few cravings, I walked past a KFC earlier and the chips were calling me, I don't even eat KFC! But I just ignored this and had some more water. I haven't drank as much today just because I have been at uni. I drank a whole bottle of water and had a cup of tea, I plan to make another cup of tea to have while I watch the new ep of True Blood and more tonight.

I had a talk today with my friend at uni, I was saying to her how much easier it is going to be for me to buy clothes when I lose some weight. I always find it difficult to find clothes that fit me and bras for my size are stupidly expensive. The only place I can get bras are off the internet or ann summers which can be over £30 sometimes. I can't wait until hopefully in 2 months I will be able to go into other shops and buy cheaper pretty bras. I actually got really excited at this as it would make my life a lot easier but I will also of course feel so much better about myself and be a lot healthier.
07:59
So yesterday I went to my consultant and she talked me through everything. She has put me on the stage 2 diet because as I am 'young' she doesn't want me to go on the stage 1 diet. You have 3 of the Cambridge selection and one meal with no carbs, it is just over 800 calorie diet. I wouldn't want to not be able to eat food anyway I think I would find it harder. I decided to go for shakes and soup as I felt that if two meals I was eating with cutlery it would feel better than just having shakes all of the time. I picked up strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and chocolate orange shakes with mushroom, chicken and mushroom and vegetable soup.

This morning I had a strawberry shake, I was expecting it to have a more strawberry taste than it did. I managed to drink about half of it then started to feel sick. So I decided to not have any more in case I was actually sick. Normally I am ok with strawberry flavoured things but for some reason I just did not seem to like the strawberry shake. My mom had the same problem with the fruits shake, she began to feel sick after it. I think that I am not going to have the strawberry shake again as it just did not settle well with me. My mom is going to see our consultant on Tuesday as that is when she is booked in for her weigh in so she is going to take back my two strawberry shakes to swap them with something else.

I did feel kind of hungry after not really having much of the shake however because I was drinking loads of tea and water this soon went away. For lunch I had the mushroom and chicken soup which was lovely!!! I did add a tiny bit of salt to it just because I normally add a bit of salt with my soup. It didn't even taste like a diet sort of food. There was no pieces of chicken or mushroom in it but there was the flavour and there was herbs as well. It was so nice, I am looking forward to having this more often!

For dinner I had a piece of chicken breast with herbs on top with some sweet peas and mushrooms these were all weighed to make sure that I was eating the correct amount. I don't even feel hungry I feel quite full considering the amount of calories I have eaten.

For pudding which I will have in a few hours I plan to have the chocolate orange shake.

I have noticed that I am going to the toilet loads more than I normally do because I am drinking so much water. I do normally drink a lot of water but today I have drank over 2 litres which is more than what I normally drink, this has been a mixture of tea (with skimmed milk) and water. I need to make sure that I drink a lot of liquid because my mom started to get headaches because she wasn't drinking enough so I must remember to drink more water!

I feel quite positive at the moment, I know that my mom has lost about 6 pounds so far and her first week isn't even up! I aim to not weigh myself until my weigh in next saturday as I feel that if I am constantly weighing myself I will get too obsessed and maybe even upset if I don't lose calories a certain day. My consultant said that sometimes you don't end up losing anything until the last day of the week it has happened to some of her previous patients. I would like it to be a surprise but also a kind of goal to see how much I lose each week.

Normally you lose quite a bit on the first week but after it starts to slow down. I have been told that I am not allowed to exercise until week 3 so when week 3 comes up I shall start to do the 30 day crunches and squats plus go for bike rides to help me lose more weight.

(Later on) I have just finished the orange chocolate shake, it was ok better than the strawberry but I still felt a bit funny after having it. I guess I am just getting used to having something like that, I managed to drink most of it apart from a bit at the end. I put some ice in it along with the amount of water you are meant to have and put it in the blender. I think that this way of having the shakes makes them taste a lot better.
