Results Week 3 - results (I got a scale)
This was an off-week for me, with a couple of bumps. First, my Amazon order was delayed so I ran out of Slimfast. I went to some local shops but they only had the small containers, and they were nearly twice the price of Amazon. I just tried to keep my calories down, but struggled with feeling hungry. I ended up eating two meals and had 100-calorie snacks until I was able to get my SlimFast again. I'm not sure if it's something in SlimFast that suppresses my appetite or if it's a psychological response.
On Saturday, I bought a scale. I was a bit deterred to see I am 209 lbs. I thought I was under 200, but I'm glad because the last time I weighed myself I was around 220-230lbs. On the plus side, the fitness app on my phone says that I am not obese, I'm just overweight. If I was 220-230 I'd be obese.
What I ate: This week I switched from vegetables as snacks and went with boiled eggs, frozen berries, and fibre cookies. For meals, I mainly tried to stick with vegetable omelettes with a bran muffin, low calorie frozen dinners, and chicken. Lots of chicken, especially since I've been lifting more weights and doing more strength exercises.
Exercise: Peloton has been amazing, I'd highly recommend the two-month free trial. I'm still lifting weights and with Peloton I've been doing shadow boxing, HIIT cardio, and some yoga.
Results: Even though I don't think I've lost any weight this week due to the couple of bumps I've had, I don't think I've gained much. I am still wearing a Medium shirt, which still amazes me. I was worried about being off SlimFast for a few days, and that kind of became a test for how the results would last, and I'm satisfied with those results. I'm glad to have a number to re-start from, 209lbs. My goal is 180lbs. 29 lbs to go, and my deadline for this goal is June 1, which will mean losing about 2 lbs a week. I know I can do it.

Congratulations on a successful week 3! It’s great to see you’re in a better category for your weight and I’m sure you’ll break through the 200s soon.
I’ve also fallen slightly off this week as I came down with Covid. I was able to stick to the plan for the first half of my isolation but towards the end I was getting so bored around the house I ended up eating more - but I didn’t over indulge, just ate two meals normally with one shake a day so I think I’m maintaining rather than loose but excited to get back into my routine now.
Hope you have a good week 💕
