1week in......

......on the slimfast diet and I have lost 3lbs so far. :D

The first 3days were absolute hell, I was constantly hungry and craving everything that I would normally eat - cakes, chocolate, crisps etc.  But I was good and stuck to what i'm allowed and drank loads of water. 

I found out that almonds are low calorie and allowed as a snack upto 100grams, but instead of having them all in 1 go I have picked at them when I have felt abit hungry.  It seems to be working ok.  The only thing I have had to do is add in an extra snack as I was feeling very cold and light headed on the  1200cals a day that they suggest.  It was after a google search that I found that this could be far too low for my body and to add an extra snack.

I'm pretty sure i'm peeing for England and that this is a big factor in loosing the weight as I am going up and down stairs alot!

I've also started doing more workouts on the wii and have found some that I can do with my bad knee and they dont hurt it too much.

Fingers crossed it keeps working for me.

1st step towards.....

.....loosing weight.

I've signed up to the slimfast 3-2-1 plan and ordered some slimfast milkshake powders and have a list of new meals and snacks that I can eat.  No idea if it is going to work or not, but worth a try. 

Really glad that boots had the powders at less than half normal price.  IF and a big if, I like them and they are still on offer on tuesday I will get some more and stock up.

the main problem I have is that I am limited as to how much exercise I can do because of my knee injury, which is half the reason i've put on more weight!
