So far i have lost 2 stone and 1 pound which is great but still got a long way to go.
Not craving food so much now as i tend to steer clear from those situations.
Just got back from Egypt (work trip) and it was really hard out there as all there was to do in the evenings was to eat and drink so i found myself getting some early nights!
I feel great on the diet but get the occasional leg cramp due to the low levels of salt in my diet. Rather have cramp than be fat though!

Day 27
Hello and sorry for not writing in what seems like ages.
I'm currently in Egypt on business and its been a crazy few weeks.
So an update, i have now lost 1 stone and 9 pounds. Thats 5 pounds away from 2 stone!
I must admit that im not noticing it very much, the only signs i have is that my watch is very loose and my ring is too big. Im not noticing it in my jeans.
I do notice around my neck and thats about it.
Im finding it a little hard lately, especially being in egypt as i want to eat all the local delicious food and have a nice glass of wine.
I feel like cheating and have contantly been thinking about it but i know i wont as its really not worth it.
My taste buds have changed and i can no longer stomach the mushroom soup or the peanut bars. They are just gross!
I find im contstanly having the banana, strawberry and chocolate shakes and also a veg soup.
I am getting bored with them but i just keep thinking about xmas and how i may have lost 3 stone by then.
I will also allow myself a xmas dinner which is keeping me going.
Oh the price to pay for thin-ness is tough!

Day 7-12
Woops, havent upated in a while. We moved out the flat this weekend and boy has it been busy! Not had a lay in and been up and down stairs, lifting heavy boxes and sucking up spiders with the hoover!
One good thing is that i would have hopfully done some light excersise!
Finding the diet a little hard now, i miss food so much. I keep getting cravings for curry and pizza. I also crave sausage sandwiches but only on the weekends!
I would give my left arm for a buttery sausage sandwich with heinz ketchup on white uncut bread....hungry? I'AM!!
Im not hungry as such but im hungry for eating something.
I am finding it hard but i have to keep level headed and focus on the end result!
Garlic bread - miss this big time.
When will these food thoughts stop? Mac Donolds - double cheeseburger! Maybe it makes me feel better but writing these thoughts down?! NOPE.
Looking forward to weigh in on Tuesday as i need some motavation.
Im coping well with the soups and shakes but find i dont drinks much water on the weekends as im always on the go. MUST KEEP DRINKING!
Anyhoot, gonna go now as my sis is watching a film and im sure this typing is annoying!
Until tomorrow...x

1st week weigh in
Woops, didn't manage to update yesterday as it was a busy day..
I lost another pound so that's 9 pounds in one week. Not bad.
Finding the diet ok and really enjoyed the counciling session. I feel like the programme has really begun.
I can eat a bar a day now which is nice, Its good to be able to chew!
I also bought some summer fruit water flavouring which is a god send! I was getting sick of the plain water!
Signing off now as im watching a good tv programme, catch up with you tomorrow x x

Day 6
Not a bad day today, it's been stressfully busy at work so my mind hasn't really had time to think about food.
Well,apart from at lunchtime. My collegue was cooking some soup and on the side were two bits of whote buttered bread. My mouth started watering and i found myself staring at the bread.
It looked so good.
I'm worried as im only on day 6, how am i going to cope with no food for another 94 days??
Im hoping the weight loss will spur me on further.
I keep having the strangest dreams too. The night before my pop in, i dreamt that i had eaten a mac donolds (chicken burger) and that i couldnt go to the weigh in as i wouldnt be in ketosis. I woke up and actually thought to myself 'did i eat a mac donolds'? WISHFUL THINKING SWEETHEART! It did take me a while to figure it out!
Last night i dreamt that i was climbing a really steep hill and had to grab onto rocks in order to get myself to the top - feels a lot like this diet! Or maybe it was a harsh reminder of the weekend trip to Bristol to see my friend shelley. She made us walk up the steepest hills just to see a bridge. It was fab though!
It was a weird dream but i think it goes to show that i'm struggling with the diet a little.
I really do miss food and i notice it everywhere. I dont feel hungry at all but i miss the textures and flavours the most.
Oh - It's only day 6!
Well onwards and upwards I say.
Day 7 tomorrow - Thats a whole week and another weight in. I'm hoping to have lost another 3 pounds minimum.
I think this weight loss could become addictive!
Good night x

First Drop in meeting
Day 5 and i have lost . . . . . . 8 pounds!! Thats just over half a stone in 4 days!
Apparently it's stored water and a little bit of fat but its great news for me. Its really good to see some results.
I don't feel 8 pounds lighter though!
Today has been ok, ive kept myself busy with packing up the flat.
I went to the supermarket to buy paul some breakfast and it didn't bother me, i tried not to look at the shelves though!
Sunday is usually a day of complete rest, sitting on the sofa, huge lunch, tea and biscuits then cheese on toast but today has been so different. Ive had 2 shakes and a soup and will have another shake later.
I do miss cooking on a sunday though, maybe one week I will cook for Paul to see how i get on.
One thing i do keep noticing is the sainsburys adverts for their cream cheese. They show it being spread onto a warm delicious bagel which looks soooo nice! I would do anything for a bite! anyway, dont think about it!
So now im 8 pounds lighter, we are going to celebrate with a game of bingo tonight. Not been for years and it should be a laugh. Got to keep myself busy!
Until tomorrow x

Day 4
It's a saturday and i missed my sausage sarnie this morning! Paul sneaked off to his mum's for his sausage fix, i was so jelous! My vanilla shake did not make me feel better.
Kept really busy today with packing up the flat but found at some moments that i was craving toast with cheese and salad cream, yum!
Breakfast: Vanilla shake, wished it was a sausage sarnie!
Lunch - strawberry shake
Dinner - vegetable soup
Snack - Raspberry shake
As i write this i feel a little hungry but im not sure if its boredom or if im phycically hungry.
I am carving a curry too as my sister had one yesterday and paul was going to get a butter chicken but decided against it. I would give my little finger for a chicken tikka masala.
I have felt ok today, a little tired this morning and a slight headache still but im sure this is the ketosis.
Im looking forward to my drop in tomorrow, i need a bit of a push and pat on the back.
