Day 11

I have been sick I haven't done the diet since early Sunday. It was recommend by a doctor to have some carbs during this illness. I don't want to go into details because it will just gross you out lol. Still feeling a bit rubbish. Hopefully i will be better in a few days and continue where I left off at day 7. How is everyone else doing?

Day 7

I'm going to make this quick cause I'm off to bed. I had a few slices of Carrot cake and some roasted potatoes at my friends for dinner oh and bran flakes for breakfast. I don't feel to guilty since I have been so good this week. Back to work tomorrow I mean with the diet and actual work. I still think I'm doing better then normal so I don't feel to bad. Still lost weigh and will continue to try. Well goodnight and have a good week. I will probably post mid week to keep you all updated. Night Liz

Day six

I managed to be good for the most part. It's Saturday and that was the real test. For breakfast I had two poached eggs and some baked beans (are baked beans allowed)? For lunch I had black bean soup. For dinner I had some chicken raw green pepper and cucumber with houmous (is houmous allowed)? And I know I broke the rules here but I had 1 chocolate chip cookie and 3 glasses of wine Eek! I am feeling the effects of the wine a bit tipsy to be honest. I hope none of you are disappointed. As long as I can limit myself I am OK. Tomorrow I was invited to someones house for dinner so I am bringing carrot cake I know I will have a small piece of cake but I still have lost weight. I didn't manage to make it to the gym but did do a tad bit of walking. Well I hope I can be strong tomorrow and not succumb to carbs. Goodnight and have a good weekend. BE STRONG!

Day 5 Continued

I made it through day 5 with success! I struggled a bit at dinner time when I got hungry. If it wasn't for my husband supporting me and giving me strength I would have caved by now. So I just want to say Thanks to him for helping me get through this struggle of no Carbs for 2weeks. It sounds silly I know but it's hard. 9 days left to go :-)

Day 5

Wahoo I have made it to day 5 with very little cheating. All the cheats have been liquid so i think it's OK. Like orange juice a glass of win a bottle of beer or coffee no wine and beer on the same day lol. I got all upset last night because i was feeling tired and i wanted carbs. My husband cuddled me and said i was doing good. I weighed myself on my home scale and it said i lost over a few pounds. I will weigh myself at the gym if I can convince myself to go this weekend because it's more reliable. Hopefully it says the same thing (or it will tell me i lost more). I asked my husband if he really though my face looked a bit thinner he said 'what do you want', 'I said the truth' he said 'no' I said 'why did you lie' and he said 'to make you feel better'. It did make me feel better lol. I still don't feel lousy like i did Monday or Tuesday. But I feel like i have less energy my body feels like it aches after a couple of minutes (probably part of the fybromyalgia). What can you do. I will let you all know when i weigh myself properly what it said. Hope for me -k-

I hope I can stick to it. I don't want to be fat the rest of my life. It limits me to what i can do. I'm 22 and I feel like I'm stuck in the body of an 80 yr old. I cant run which is a dream of mine i would like to know what it feels like without running out of breath. I want to do some sports which I cant do now. When I have kids I want to be able to chase after them. If I didn't loose the weight and i got pregnant I will end up getting fatter and the baby and I would be at a greater health risk. Plus I want to be cute and pregnant. I am vain enough to let myself be thin for a couple of years before having kids that way I can enjoy it Just in case I cant Loose all of the baby weight. Really what my secret dream is to have a slim but well toned body. Id love to have a picture of me in boy shorts with only my hair covering my chest, standing side ways. I think I need to loose the full 175 first. I will get there!!! My first Goal is to get back to 227 pounds so i can wear those jeans you see in that picture of me when I'm thinner!!! A girl can hope cant she.

Day 3

Sorry I missed Day 2 but i was so tired. I went onto the computer and then completely forgot what i was doing. Happens a lot lol. So I was still good yesterday again other then my coffee and 1 glass of wine. I have managed to stick pretty much to it. Today was meant to be prawn day and mushroom omelette's. I don't eat mushrooms so I made scrambled egg with low fat cheese and green onions. For lunch I decided against prawns (shrimp), I saw in the recipe book a lunch wrap with sandwich meat and then i saw one for chicken salad so I decided to make a chicken wrap i figure that's OK and i put extra light mayonnaise.

I was accused this afternoon of eating ice cream by my husband because he saw a cup that looked like it had chocolate in it. It was my ricotta cheese dessert. He was pleased with me. I asked if i looked any thinner thinking I wouldn't and he said your face looks thinner. That's great i was actually thinking that too but i thought it's too soon for any results. My body is trying to adjust I have some spots on my forehead and yesterday my cheeks were bright read. I don' t feel as bad as I did Mon and Tue. I'm still exhausted but for the most part that's normal. My head isn't as achy which is great. My stomach still feels a bit funny though kinda like a weight is in there it feels heavy (I don't mean my fat). Lets see what day 4 has in store for me. I will be so proud of myself If i manage to make it the full 14days. I have been wanting things cereal toast sweets. However it's not as bad as it was yesterday. Things are looking up.

Diet I mean Permanent Life Change Day 1

So today is the first day of the SB diet for me. I was OK until about 2pm when the withdrawals started. I NEED BREAD! I had a headache the kind that absolutely makes your whole head ache down to your neck. But I have made it with only two little cheats I had a cup of coffee at work and I think It had two teaspoons of Sugar and semi skimmed milk (I'm not sure though I didn't make it) and i had a half a glass of white whine which in all honesty I might make a full glass. I had my fish it was a smoked salmon i managed to eat a little over half of my small piece but couldn't manage another bite I was starting to fell nauseated with the thought of it. Well done to me. I pre prepared my lunch for tm and by bacon for breakfast well turkey bacon! I haven't added everything to my diet i haven't had any of the olive oil dressings like it says i just can be asked to make them.

I got a comment from a Donna Miller. Who are you? I'm not doing the Dr Phil one I'm doing South Beach. As for the bit where it says Get Real I am completely Realistic about the fact what I eat makes me fat and isn't contributing to my weight loss (obviously). I only took a small bit offence to it but other wise I'm fine. I can take constructive criticism the sweetie part made it seem less harsh.

Thank you to everyone who has been commenting It does make me feel better to have all of the support. Lets see how day 2 goes of SB lets just hope in 2 weeks time i have something to show for it. Tomorrow I have a tuna Salad Yum (NOT) but I have to say I haven't had any of the snacks in between and I haven't had serious hunger pangs So all in all its OK. I walked to work which I usually do so about a 12min walk and I managed to walk home which I havent done since before I was on Crutches in July. It was pain full on my knee but i only have to do it every couple of weeks now when my husband is at work. At least it saves me £3 each way lol I feel bad that the taxi drivers had to drive me such a short distance. Well That's all for today 1 down 13 days to go until I can have carbs again no white bread :-( tho.
