I started a diary thread here last week but it seems to have vanished, so I'm starting another one.
Today was the end of my 2nd week & my second WI.
The first week I spent on Cambridge, but I really wasn't enjoying any of the products & realised it's products were very similar to Atkins diet products. So I switched & couldn't be happier with my choice.
Instead of having 3 Cambridge products a day I can have 3 actual meals a day & I'm enjoying it tremendously so far.
I started at 18st7
My target weight is 9st 7 - the weight I was before meeting my partner.
But under 11st would be lovely.
This time I have to do it. I'm 35 next year & I puff going up 1 flight of stairs, my knees hurt, nothing fits me & I've started having the signs of pre-diabetes.
If I don't loose all this weight & eat healthy I will have Diabetes. I like my toes, I don't want to lose them. So I guess you could say I'm doing this for my toes, my knees & my confidence.
The last couple of days I have had the same menu:
B'Fast - Cafe Royale Atkins shake (nice!! like an iced starbucks)
Lunch - Tuna mayo salad
Dinner - Lemon steamed fish & Spicy Broccoli in oyster sauce
I'm not religiously counting carbs (as I tend to obsess), but I am sticking to veg/salad & protein in every meal. I only eat the induction allowed foods, I try not to snack & I drink sooo much water its a bit silly.
So far I have lost 7lbs in the first week & 4lbs this week. Which I'm rather pleased with this, hopefully I will continue in this way over the next months.
I have planned some treats to keep me motivated. E.G. I'm off out for a slap up dinner for my 34th Birthday (3rd December), and I'm going to take it easy on the diet from 23rd Dec - 1st Jan.
This IS the last time I will ever diet, & this is my journey.
