Hi there, if it's the sugar/sweet your craving you can take chromium (think that's how you spell it) blackmores make.. It helps reduce sugar cravings... Awesome work I'm on week 2 and only lost approx 2kgBethybabe said:
Good luck Vixen, can't wait to hear your results.
Today is day 9.
I woke up with a massive headache again this morning, but I put this down to my lack of water drinking over the last couple of days. Because I don't really have the dry mouth anymore, I forget I really need to drink! This week im going to start some light exercise and see how that effects my end of week loss. I also had a much more relaxed day on food today. I figure if I can do this once a week it will be more sustainable. I am still within my 1500 calories but different foods that I normally wouldn't eat.
Breakfast: 2x multigrain toast, cottage cheese and tomato
Snack: muesli bar
Lunch: 2x slice pizza :/ -woops!
Dinner: 1x lasagne slice, 1cup broccoli, 1cup mixed veg

Hi Nice to have someone to talk to about this! I'm just so 'wired.' Have so much energy, am getting a lot of work done, at work, in the Studio, and I think I'm eating better than I have for ages. I think that I never used to drink enough water, so I was kind of always thirsty. I probably got 4 hours of sleep last night, but as soon as I took the tablet this morning, I was super charged. I took it at around 5am today, as I was up, to see if I can get a bit more sleep tonight.
Hope the being hot thing settles down, for you Meanwhile, I guess we will just have to have a water bottle joined to our hip! I've got a couple of bottles of water in different rooms of the house now! Good luck

Hi girls, I've just found this page too and just took my first 30mg tablet this morning too! I feel ok! - like nothing overally different yet - even appetite wise Didnt really seen any different? We'll see, I am very hopeful as I have gained a lot of weight that isn't shifting since having my 2 beautiful girls. I'm now my heaviest at 97kg would love to be back to 75

It's so nice to know there are others going through the same thing. Here is to us all reaching our goals.
I am wired and can't sleep!
Oh no! Lol I know it's nearly midnight and I'm quite awake but that isn't too out of the blue for me
Me too- researching bikinis, ha. The sleep on day 4 seems to almost feel like a dream state, but I don't get anxious about not sleeping... I might try a couple of naps on the weekend maybe.
Day 10 was very uneventful hense the no update, today, day 11, and return to work after a 3 day weekend:
Breakfast: Greek yoghurt and peaches
Lunch: sand which with chicken breast, cheese, spinach, beetroot and kale
Snack: 2 x ryveta crackers and hummus
Dinner: 100g chicken breast, 1c cooked rice and 1c mixed vege
Snack: 1x Soleil chocolate mousse (try these, only 69cals each!)
Today I felt really Shakey by lunchtime because the gap between eating was too much. I had breakfast at 8am and didn't eat again until 12, (I am used to eating every couple of hours) so I didn't feel good at all. I also had a giant coffe from a cafe this morning which is more habit, need to get used to ordering a small, it certainly wouldn't have helped.
Anyway, I've learnt my lesson. Trying not to weigh everyday but failing miserably. I desperately want to only weigh on Saturdays so I can get excited!! Perhaps if I do a count down this will help...
4 days until weigh in!!

Day 12

3cm from my hips.
WOOHOO!
Dry mouth today is about the only symptom. 3 days until weigh in!

Day 13
Today I have had THE DRYEST MOUTH EVER. I really didn't think that would be a problem now since I had a few days no issues. I have drunk probably 4 or 5 litres of water. Chewing gum helps.
I have been feeling unsatisfied the last 2 days with my food and it is making it hard for me to stay away from bad foods.
Breakfast: oats quick sachet
Morning tea: a few spoonfuls of Greek yoghurt and peaches
Lunch: beetroot, chicken, cheese, spinach and hummus sandwich on grainy bread.
Snack: cheese and bacon twist bread-small piece (couldn't help it!)
Dinner: Japanese chicken sweet and sour with steamed rice
Snack: Soleil chocolate mousse
Have only been and done number 2 twice in 13 days went just before and I'm so constipated it really hurt going to get some Metamucil I think.
Side effects huh!

Thanks for sharing, your story sounds so much like mine - single Mum, big weight gain, building a house.
I was so excited to read your posts. Would love to know how you are going.

Weigh in Day!! Day 15
My only side effect I am having now is dry mouth. I am sleeping fine, my mood is fine, I don't have any break outs or anything. I do think my wee smells a bit funny though and I'm still constipated but hopefully that will fix itself soon when I get some Metamucil.
I have lost another 700grams! Not as much as I wanted to, but it still makes it 3.8kg over 2 weeks so I am very happy with that.
This week I will do some exercise too (none done so far) see if that assists me in my weight loss.
My diet is pretty much the same but I found I was getting bored with what I was eating and started to crave so I am allowing myself treats here in there. Last night I even had an ice cream! still keeping within my calories of 1500 although most days it's 1200 as I struggle to eat the last 300.
7 days until weigh in
