Wednesday 20th Feb - Day 14

Day 1 of week 3... Scales still say 12,9 but that is a stone and a half in 2 weeks!

Picked up my order today, which includes 14 ready made shakes... They taste like banana and choc yazoos! Cant wait to get started on week 3 to be honest.

Still putting away 4-5 litres of water a day. I try to get as near to 5l as possible, as more water = more waste (and weight) flushed out.

I am still very motivated. I think this diet is a great way for people to lose the weight initially.
The fast loss means that you are motivated to keep going. For example, losing 1-2lbs a week on weight watchers was sooooo demotivating for me, especially if i had drunk all my water and stuck religiously to my points. Losing 6lbs this week is way better than a 2lb loss!

BUT this is the easy part of the diet... The hardest part will be the stabilising period where you have to introduce food gradually and be very strict. This way your body gets used to eating again and you will not put on a stone in the 1st week! I just hope i can measure my portions and not be tempted to overeat...

Anyway, i now have another incentive, a wedding on May 3rd! So not only a weekend break June 6th, a holiday on July 4th but now we need to be looking good a month earlier than planned... Oh well better to have things to work towards than nothing at all...

I need to get to 9,7 for a healthy BMI. 10 stone is ok for me and i have managed to get there a few times. However to be in the 9's is slightly harder... Will prob need to get to 9 stone on the sole source (shakes only) programme to allow for a slight water gain when i begin water.

So 3 stone 9 lbs left... yikes... still seems a long way to go! Must remember that i am only just beginning week 3, feels like i have been doing this diet ages now. It has become 'normal' to me!
