Pink Stripes..

Ive just read a lot of posts of people struggling to drink the pints of salty water.. like i did! 

The solution is: Make one or two shots of salt water.. little water as possible.. and then follow those with glasses of water to make up the liquid! 

Works like a treat! And the plain water is a great way to wash away the salty shot! 

Hope this helps :)

This morning I got on the scales and I had dropped 2lbs :) Im not really much of a drinker, overall probably 4 cups of water a day! But I have been trying hard to drink as much as possible!

Yesterdays consumption:

Breakfast: Diet Whey 2 Scoops- 182cal

Lunch- 2 Egg omlette and 1 can of John West Tuna- No sauces- 213cal

Dinner- Diet Whey 2 Scoops- 182cal

Overall- 577Calories

I only ate protein today to kick start everything off!

Tonights dinner will contain a litte vegetables.

I have work all day and tonight too so hopefully burn off a few more calories running around a nightclub and bar.

Happy dieting! :)

24lbs to go!

SW: 9 Stone 12bs

CW: 9 Stone 10bs

I had been with my boyfriend three years before he cheated this Summer, and of course followed the uncertainty and self doubt. I have never been happy with my body and although when I lost 3 stone when I was 16 the feeling of happiness has now stopped. I guess only putting on one stone in 4 years (bearing in mind it was Yo-yo'ing) isnt too bad!

But I miss that self confidence I gained from my weightloss. The surge of excitement and motivation when people mentioned how much weight i'd lost and how slim i looked! It made me feel so confident about my body image.

And yes, there is a possibility that the body confidence I gained found my previous boyfriend. 

Now in an ideal world I would absolutely love to weigh about.. 8 stone. Personally that has always been a goal of mine, but if i start to lose my curves I wont take it that extreme. 8 stone is the weight of my two favourite idols, Shenae Grimes-Beech and Mollie King and therefore why not aim for something that utters true body confidence like those two girls. I will obviously take into consideration my own health and I know that sometimes 8 stone is too low for body weight.

So.. at this present time, post breakup, I weigh 9 Stone 12..

I have 19 days until I go back to University and I would love to lose 12lbs by then if possible.. 

I have lost 10lbs in 10 days before using this method of diet so fingers crossed. 

Overall aim is to lose 1 Stone, 12lbs! I am so ready!

Right so just incase anyone does by chance stumble across this post, i will put down my method and daily progresses. 

Method: Personally this method works for me, I am not recommending it to others. I just know that it works for me and I am happy with it.

Breakfast- PhD Diet Whey Belgian Choc- 1 or 2 scoops depending on hunger.

Lunch- Phd Diet Whey Belgian Choc- 2 scoops

Dinner- High protein meal such as chicken and veg, no carbs/ OR 2 scoops of Phd Diet Whey Belgian Choc.

Any snacking can be 1 scoop of Diet Whey or any protein such as sliced ham.

Hey guys :)

so i have just completed five days of Attack.. and I am now on to the protein and veg phase.. 

I think that this diet is great! And i have got used to eating only lean meat..

If your wondering how much ive lost.. ive lost 5lbs in 5 days.. which im proud of! :) :) 

im going to keep going.. i still have about 1 stone to go! :) 

I dont really have any bad points about the Dukan diet other than you have to be really fully committed to all the aspects of the diet! including all the water you have to consume! 

I would recommend this diet to anyone! and i was recommeded it from a friend! Good luck to anyone trying! ill keep posting my updates! 

Intake: 

Breakfast: Ham and one egg omlette

Lunch: Chargrilled chicken slices with a small portion of lettuce, celery and raw pepper.. no salad dressing.

Dinner: have yet to decide.. im hoping for steak and green beans :) Yum!

Hey :)

Thought I would write a little review of the Dukan Diet so far...

I started it yesterday.. and I was sceptical I must say.. it seemed too good to be true. I had heard about it from a friend.. and a couple of people i know have used it.. and say its works.. but i always get that feeling that it just wont work for me.

But anyways.. i have put on a little university weight and want to lose it before the summer months.. and i have also convinced my mum to join me.

So basically for anyone that doesnt know what the Dukan diet is.. its a diet that has four phases.. im on phase one at the moment which is the ATTACK phase.. in this phase you can only eat protein.. so eggs, meat and fish.. the guidelines are outlined in the book.. including the other things you have to do like .. drink water etc.

But anyways.. sceptical because you can eat as much protein as you want! therefore you dont get hungry! So in my mind.. cant be a diet because im not hungry and im always eating.. but..

Day One:

Breakfast: One egg scrambled, two slices of ham.

Lunch: Smoked Salmon and a NO fat yoghurt (which are also allowed)

Dinner: Salmon fillet, roasted chicken slices and boiled eggs.

Snacks: a couple of wafer thin ham slices

How i felt after day one?--- a little tired.. although that is to be expected in the first couple of days.. definitely full!

Morning of day two weigh in... WELL ID LOST TWO POUNDS! in one day!!

And they say you lose weight quickly in the first phase!! and its not just me.. my mum lost two pounds too!!

And there was my motivation for day two's meat fest!

I shall keep you updated on my diet :) Hopefully more good news tomorrow!
