1.4kg!!! I was so excited when I jumped on the scales after 7 days having had shakes for brekkie and lunch every day and eating sensibly all week. It payed off and I am so happy with my results. I was hoping for 1kg but 1.4kg was unexpected and I really don't feel like I've been on a strict diet. I haven't felt that horrible hungry feeling you get with some diets. I love the shakes and find them really satisfying and find I'm not looking for something else to eat. I work full time so it was pretty easy to stick to a routine Monday to Friday. I found the weekend a little harder with more temptations as the family wanted take away Friday night and they sent me to the local German bakery on Saturday morning for pretzels and French vanilla slices. But I was determined to be strong and wasn't tempted.

I found having my shake at my usually breakfast time and taking a piece of fruit to work for morning tea helps me get to lunch without feeling hungry. This week I walked every lunch hour for at least 30 minutes which didn't leave time to think about food.

I know you lose more weight the first week of a diet but I'm going to set a goal of 1 kg for week 2. I am really motivated now and keep telling myself if I just loose a 1kg or so a week, that adds up to a lot over 12 weeks.

Looking forward to next week,

Cathy
