I don't eat like a glutton, but I do love snacking. I eat at least one packet of crisps a day - oops! - and probably drink more alcohol than I should. But I still thought it was really unfair that I lost NOTHING. So now I'm stepping it up a notch! I'm going to try...
Celebrity Slim! I've done a bit of research and people seem to be getting good results with this. You basically replace breakfast with a shake, then have a mid-morning (allowable) snack like fruit, then for lunch it's either a shake, a soup or a snack bar, then another (allowable) snack, then a balanced dinner and then another wee snack!
Here's what's in the starter pack I bought:
And there's loads of flavours and stuff you can buy indivudually/in other packs.
It all sounds like I could manage that fairly easily. Except: NO CARBS!! Well, for the first week. And I LIVE on pasta. But I'm gonna give this a shot. I'm not gonna tell you my weight, but if you're interested I'll provide little updates of how I'm getting on.
Also! Some people are saying that the blog is too wide for their computer screen, can you please comment below if this is the case for you? I'm so confused cause it's fine on my laptop! :(
Are any of you on the quest to lose weight/tone up? How are you going about it? Any meal suggestions for me??
Let me know!

I'd love to lose weight and tone up. Last time I got really fit was running and playing roller derby and I actually went up to a size 12, now I'm not fit and I've kept the extra weight. Just don't have the will power, I have found calorie counting has helped me in past, just stops me snacking and drinking alcohol when I have a set number to meet!xx
ReplyDeleteI've never been fit haha! I loved going to zumba frequently, but it just did nothing for my fitness-wise. I wish I could get into a sport or something! I go through stages where I count calories, but it never lasts tbh. =/

If you have a smart phone then I'd suggest getting the 'my fitness pal' app.
ReplyDeleteI have it and keep track of everything I eat, have been doing it for a month and I'm really surprised how easily they can add up even when I'm eating salads and cereals and absolutely no chocolate or crisps or alcohol!
But I'm in the swing of it now and have been going to the gym religiously!
Carbs are soooo good :( *dreams*

I do actually have that app! I love it, but not used it for ages. Migh start using it again! I don't think I could go without chocolates AND crisps AND alcohol!! :(

Well Done! I hope it goes well for you
ReplyDeleteTake a peak at my blog please <3

Well done. Hope it goes well for you. I have lost a little bit of weight (not much mind) by just cutting out alcohol and trying to limit the amount of chocolate I eat! You seem determined so I'm sure you will succeed. xx
ReplyDeleteUuuugh, I try to cut out alocohol but it (shockingly) is one of my biggest weaknesses! I've cut out cider, so that's a start! =p
Delete~ Lauren <3
How did Firminator work out for you? I need to lose weight, but crisps and alcohol are also out to get me :p Good luck! xx
ReplyDeleteIt didn't really tbh! Some days I felt a little tighter, but it wouldn't last! I think I'm gonna find it hard but hopefully can stick at it!
Delete~ Lauren <3
Oh good luck! I've never tried anything like this, but I do follow Scottish Slimmers to maintain my weight/lose pounds when I need to - it's great cause you can pretty much eat what you want, just a little less of everything. I love the gym too, but your right - it can be hard to lose weight from just exercising x
ReplyDeleteI think I'll end up doing something like that, everything in moderation, once I reach a bit nearer my target weight! I was gutted that I didn't lose weight through exercising. :(
Delete~ Lauren <3
Well done hun! Hope this works, I have been doing the same thing (not the celebrity slim but the losing weight for summer bit). I am going to Las Vegas in August and want to look good! I have lost a fair bit of weight and the one fail safe way I have had for burning fat is skipping (with a skipping rope obv lol) I really have noticed a HUGE difference since I started, I do about 250 a day :) xx
ReplyDeleteI did some skipping at Thai Boxing but I actually found it really hard?? I think the rope was too long cause it kept catching on my arms and toes and hurting lol! =p
Delete~ Lauren <3
the cambridge diet sooo much nicer much tastier shakes & mor variety x
ReplyDeleteI think their really similar, but with some Cambridge plans you have three shakes a day! Whereas with Celebrity Slim you have a normal meal and can swap the shakes with soups or cereal bars! ^_^
Delete~ Lauren <3
Good luck on your diet!
ReplyDeletePS: Any chance you could make you blog narrower? It can't all fit on my screen :)

Hey Lauren! Good luck on the weight loss, definitely keep us posted on how you get on! These ones are from Superdrug right?
ReplyDeleteI use Google Chrome and your blog is a little too wide for my screen. It doesn't bother me but you wanted to know :)

Thanks Sian! I'll need to try it on different browsers as I'm on IE, that's maybe the problem.
DeleteYeah, you can get them in Superdrug but I actually got mine from Lloyds Pharmacy as I have a discount card for there! =p

Good luck with the diet! I find if I just eat fruit and veg for a couple of days I can loose a couple of pounds, but it's hard!! I can view your blog no probs..
ReplyDeleteEmma xx
Thank you for letting me know, don't know why it's being weird on some people's screens! I've never really tried a serious diet before, so I'm hoping there's some poundage lost!! =p
Delete~ Lauren <3
Good luck hun :) I am currently coming to the end of a 3 day diet, kind of a kick start to healthy eating lol. Here's the link if you fancy a look http://justtiffeny.blogspot.com/2012/02/3-day-diet-x.html I can see your blog fine on my computer xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about my blog on your comp, it seems to only be a few people it's too wide for, how strange! Gosh, that sounds like an intense diet but if it works, it works y'know??
Delete~ Lauren <3
Welcome chick :) Yeah pretty intense, but lost 5lbs in 3 days so all is good xoxo
DeleteWow, that's awesome! How well does it stay off tho?

The Celebrity Slim diet is an easy-to-follow meal replacement diet plan to help anyone lose weight.

Thanks for writing about slim diet pills.Before this I had been understanding about slim diet powder that's food product for nutritional advantage.
ReplyDeleteHi lauren how did you find this diet
ReplyDeleteJust started the celebrity slim myself this morn I am feeling ok but shakes are hard to down hopefully it will be worth it at the end of the week!!! I have heard of a woman loosing over 3 stone in 5 weeks on it.
ReplyDeletehey ive heard celebrity slim is pretty good but you really should check out Shakeology - its a lot better then celebrity slim in my opinion! and others :) http://www.howtogetbigforearms.com/3/post/2013/09/shakeology-reviews-the-good-bad-and-the-ugly.html
