Day 2 done and dusted....

Have now competed two days and am doing well! Have had a slight headache but thanks to some reading I did on a new forum I belong to, I remembered that Nurofen was a no go, so dug out my Ibprofen and after a couple of doses of that, the headache went.

Feel like I have done well today and am proud of it!  There have been a couple of close call's but I have stopped myself and said to myself "that is cheating Karen - that won't get you to 70 kilos"!!! 

I couldn't get over how fast everything added up when having my veggies on the scales but slowly adjusting to that.

And OMG to the number of toilet stops I am having to do!  It is at least 2 before leaving home in the morning, then about 7 times during the day at work, then I run (well fast walk) in the door after getting off the train and straight to the loo!  Then another couple before heading to bed... and last night there were 3 during the night!!  

Bit annoyed with Stephan right now - he is sitting beside me (well in the next chair) eating a large bag of chips (something I USED to do regularly) despite me asking him not to given that it is only Day 2 and I am still craving those things! I have tried talking to him but he is still eating them!!!  Bloody men!!!!

Great work Karen:-)

Tell Stephan to help you! If he has to have chips he could eat them elsewhere!!

Tell Stephan to pull his head in!
And isn't nurofen just a brand name fir ibuprofen?
I'm not allowed either because they are the same thing?

Jo is right Karen, Nurofen and Ibprofen are the same thing.

I can't use those either, so I use Paracode...which is paracetamol and codeine mix.

Well done Karen for a good day 2 - all those toilet stops abviously mean something is happening! When do you weigh in? It is always encouraging to see the scales go down - I'm a shocker for weighing in everyday when I am being good - very encouraging to see some movement (I avoid them though when I haven't been so good!!).

Tell Stephan that if he's going to eat chippies etc to do it so you can't see - I suppose he will start to adjust to your new lifestyle too, but you need all the help you can get at the moment. Perhaps remind him of the $$$s and that you don't want to waste it all!

Good luck for today, I hope it starts to get easier for you.

I thought Ibprofen is just another name for Nurofen?

I hope the cravings setting down soon, and you should have slapped the man with his chips! lol

I have sent my consultant (my niece) asking why Nurofen is banned when we can have Ibprofen.... will keep you all posted :)
