I weighed myself this morning and I have lost another pound….thats an unbelievable 4 pounds in 8 days so far!
Also, might I add, that it has been really, really easy. My book came a few days ago and I have read half of it so far and listened to the CD once. I was a bit dubious about the CD but it did make me stop myself from snacking as I realised I was already full and didn’t need it.
Watch this space for more weight loss updates! How exiting!!!
I am quite amazed as this really is very easy to do and I have probably been having about 1,100 calories a day anyway. I’m only eating when I’m hungry and when I do, I really try and take my time over it. Now bare in mind that I am not overweight and at 10 stone (140lbs) I just want to lose about a stone so I can get back to my normal weight in preparation for ttc. Knowing this, I didn’t think Mckenna’s system would work for me but it has.
So….drumroll please…..so far, after only 3 days of following Paul Mckenna’s system, I have lost -
That is really supprising. I can’t wait for my book to arrive so I can listen to the CD aswell.
Okay, having read all of the reviews on Amazon and watched the show last night on the box, I have purchased my copy of “I can make you thin” and as soon as it arrives I will let you know. If this works I will truly be amazed. I just can’t bare to starve myself on 1,100 calories anymore. Also, I am sick of frigging calorie counting…I am wasting my precious time alive on this and it doesn’t make me feel good!
I will be documenting my weight loss for you all to see (if there is any weight loss) I am sceptical as I am not overweight but I still want to lose a stone before I ttc.
Here goes nothing (well actually here goes a fiver spent on yet another diet related book, so hopefully it will be my last!)!
Okay, confession time….I totally blew out the diet on Sunday. I had a day off because I got really depressed when I jumped on the scales and found I had lost ……ZILCH!
So I am still weighing in at 10 stone (140 pounds). I am not going to estimate calories any more, its going to be exact and I am going to stick to 1,100 calories a day plus any exercise calories I have burnt if I am still hungry. If I can lose 2lb’s a week I will there in no time.

I’m always getting the munchies late in the evening so I am trying a new tactic today. I had breakfast at 10:30am, much later than usual and hopefully that will have a knock on effect with my other meals. In theory I will eat my dinner at about 8pm tonight so I won’t have time for munchies! Lets see if it works…

This so quick and easy to make and the milky, cheese sauce means its full of calcium, needed for growing bones! It can be made and put in the freezer too.
INGREDIENTS - 90gms of Pasta, 2 large leeks, 3 slices of ham (of the bone preferably), 150ml of Whole Milk, A handful of grated red leicester cheese, 1 teaspoon of cornflour.
DIRECTIONS - Cook the pasta in a saucepan, while it is cooking, peel and slice the leeks into 5mm width pieces. Put them into a bowl with a tablespoon of water and microwave until soft. Chop the ham slices into small pieces. In another saucepan, put the milk and the grated cheese and turn the heat on low. Put a teaspoon of cornflour into a cup and a little cold water. Mix until dissolved and pour in with the cheese and milk. Turn up the heat and continue to stir until boiling and thickened. Take the sauce off the heat and when the pasta is done to your liking, pour the sauce over it, add the leeks and the chopped ham and mix. This will give you enough for you and your toddler. You may want to cut your toddlers portion up into smaller bits.
Delicious!
