Sams Diary

Have decided to start a new diary looking at the old one was to depressing. I lost 4st on the old one. I went on holiday and came back and lasted a week on LT then tried again before Xmas worst mistake ever. Getting back to it was hard.

So now it's the new year here comes a new experience. A new diet if you will. I have decided to forget about the weight I lost before. I haven't put it all back on but at least 2st. A tip my nurse told me was when u put on weight from coming off a diet treat your next time as a new start as you won't obsess with losing that weight you put on but instead create babystep goals.

Another thing I'm doing is not weighing myself until my weigh in day which is today. I'm a little sceptical as I don't feel like I have lost anything but I have been 100% except the first 2 days where I had a cheeky bite of my daughters supper. It's not like I had a meal or anything just a bite of fish finger. Now I have done my first week the hunger is fading but I do have major low days like today. I want to eat even though im not hungry. I think by week 2 the urge to eat will go. Which is why I have gotten off my toosh and written a new diary. I shall visit this site whenever I'm down and keep going with this diet until summer or when I reach my target weight. Not sure of that yet. Think 10st heaviest 9st Min. So somewhere in the middle. Even if it kills me folks. I shall report in later tonight when I have been to pharmacist. I hope it's a big loss but I just don't feel it.

Starting Weight 106.2kg

Well got weighed today and I'm now 101.4kg. She said that's a 9.5lb loss which is great when I thought I never lost anything. Hoping for at least a 3lb loss next week.

Not feeling well today. Was fine this morning. I have been upping my water as was only managing 1.5 litres. Today was the first time I have managed 2. I don't know if I have a sore tummy due to the water intake or the FibreClear. I do know its not a reg sore tummy. It seems to be the top of my tummy and sometimes my sides Oh well. Hope it goes away soon.

First day I have not managed to drink a lot of water. 500ml so far. Hope it won't show up on scales. I've just found it hard to drink & even have my shakes. Still have a awfully sore tummy. Been to loo so it can't be that. Oh well here's hoping tomorrow is a better day.

You really need to increase the amount of water you drink, its very important. Personally, I have a large glass that I take to work with me and use both there and at home, I know that if I drink 7 glasses then I've hit 2.5l as a minimum (I try for 3.5). It was the only way I could get into the habit of drinking enough - and it is a habit, first few days it felt odd, but afterwards I don't even think about it.

On the days where I wasn't drinking enough I would notice my weight either staying the same, or on one occasion going up by 0.5lb.

Yeah I do understand I need to drink more. I am now at the 2l mark. I buy bottled water now at 500ml so I know to drink 4 of them. It's beginning to now not feel like a chore and I usually drink without thinking about it now.

Quite worried about my health today. I have discovered 3 tiny lumps on my neck. I also got very dizzy last night and today. Did not feel like I was in my own body. Will try to get a drs appointment.

3lbs loss this week. Total of 12.5lbs in 2 weeks can't grumble.

Well that's Day 2 on 100%. Well yesterday was day 2. Today will be day 3 if I stick to it. Which is why when I go onto the Honk If you were 100% today thread I now wait until the next day to post as I have trapped myself doing it on the same day and ended up having a sneaky taste of my daughters supper. Not this time though. I'm drinking my 2L and more and I'm determined to have a good weight loss this week. Hoping for 3.5-4lbs.

I hope your feeling a bit better now, it sounds like a tough time. Well done on your weight loss so far, and good luck for this week

Sam the first time I tried Lipotrim I made the mistake of taking the odd bit of food (sandwich etc) once or so a week. This made me feel sick and bloated a number of times as my body was constantly coming in and out of Ketosis. This time round I am in my fourth week and haven't broken the diet once and I feel great. No sickness, bloating etc.

It really is worth trying to stick 100% to the plan as it becomes much easier that way. Fingers crossed I can keep it up and not fall off the wagon.

Well that's my honk for day 4. I'm feeling better already Liam. I was bloated when I had the odd scraps of the family's supper but I'm determined to go 100% at this. Nic you are doing fantastic been seeing your honks lol. I'm dying to weigh myself to see if sticking to the 100% is making a difference but I have promised myself to always wait till weigh day that way I might get a nice surprise.

Day 5 done and dusted. Well day 6 really. This is the longest I have lasted. I get weighed tomorrow. My biggest test is not to eat tomorrow. I don't eat much but usually have a small bowl of whatever the hubby is having. I think to myself that I have a whole week until I get weighed again so I can have a little something. I'm going to try not to. Just think of teapot who's doing so well Sam. I was so very tempted to have some of the hubby's supper tonight. It was a chicken & cheese Pasty thing. It looked so yum. My hand went out and I touched it. Paused. You know that dramatic pauses you get in movies. It was like that. I told myself no. I put it back down. Went to my room and cried. How pathetic is that. I mean maybe the last time I never felt this bad was because I was never 100%. So I am hoping the more I am 100% the less I'm weak willed. Please god give me strength to stay the 100% until I no longer think of food.

Come on you can do it! It's not forever, and think how great you'll feel when you've got through a whole week.
Keep going

Yep I know which is why I am sticking to it. Day 6 for me. Would be day 7 if I never ate last week on weigh in day. Blast. I lost 4.5lbs this week. 1lb more than last. Which is ok for just drinking over the 2L and having that cheeky bowl on weigh in day. Imagine if I drink more and stick to 100% I might get to 5lbs. I am very pleased with that weight loss. We are meant to lose a stone a month. Anything over that month is a huge bonus.

I passed my driving test yesterday. Only prob is I promised my little girl a couple of months ago before the diet that if I passed we could go out and celebrate and she never let me forget it yesterday. I tried to get out of it but the tears came. What could I do. So I am back on my diet today. The way I look at it is having a car is going to change my life and losing weight is going to add to that. So I only have one more promise to keep and that's a holiday in summer so no more breaking the diet. Changing my weigh in day to Fri. God Im so excited. Maybe 2013 will be my year.

Congratulations on passing your driving test, that's fantastic.
You'll be able to have such fun with your little girl now, and it makes life so much easier.

well done, and hope you get a good loss this week also.

Thanks hun. Been a 100% since then. My hubby's car broke down and I had to pick them up. It was scary as I did not know the roads. I'm hoping I will pick that up as I go along though.

That's me on day 3 of 100% now. Hoping to get to more than day 6 this week. I thought because I went out with the family on Thurs it would be hard to get back into the swing of things but you know what I have actually found it easier. I don't know if its coz I have something else to think about at the moment or it has actually gotten easier but I'm loving it.

Scratch that. It's not easier. Today I'm hungry. I had been fine when I went out for a meal and restarted the next day but now on Day 5 100% I am having cravings. I'm sticking to my bed tonight. Lol
