ALIZONNE!

[Beccie77]

Hello all Alizonners out there, starting a new thread as the old one is full to bursting, and I still want to know how everyone is doing and any tips.

@Munchkinbug congrats! amazing loss!
Well but I believe this is because my body was not in a nice proportion as I had a massive belly/waist area compared to my legs etc, like most of my weight was in that area, so I believe losing most of the volume in this area makes you go down more sizes faster, for the same kgs, but if your weight is evenly distributed it makes sense that you're going down dress sizes a bit more slowly. The end result is what will really matter :)

Munchkin, Brigid Well done & very helpful to hear your results. Motivational for newbies! I had my weigh-in yesterday, and with another 1.2k loss, I am now in Phase 2, with 5kg more to lose. I am right
on target, apparently. My first Phase 1 meal I had scallops. I have lost 13kg since end of August and it has been relatively easy, although no getting around the expense.

hi every one, I started my diet a week past Sunday. My job is a cook so I'm surrounded by loads of food every day and boy some days are hard. The first day on it I found myself putting (or rather was going to put) food in my mouth at one point I put a piece of cheese cake in my mouth and had to spit it out, so it just shows you how you can eat mindlessly,
As for the sachet I suppose I'm getting used to them slowly but surely, it's true when you see your weight loss it spurs you on to do better the following week. My first week I lost 5.5Lb so that was a good result. I get weight next Saturday so fingers and toes crossed for then I will up date after that good luck every 1 xxxx

@moanranger are you enjoying phase 2? for me that was the best part being able to eat proper protein!

@12ga34pa hi there! well you have to be really motivated to be able to work in a kitchen and go through Alizonne, I'm impressed!
I also had to spit out a few pieces of food while cooking dinner for my boyfriend when I first started Alizonne, it's amazing how we can eat without thinking while we cook! Good luck for the weigh in.

Brigid yes! enjoying but it needs some getting used to. I am having to work on distributing 4 packs across the day. I have porridge for breakfast & usually an omelette + salad for lunch. My other two sachets are puddings ( pear & choc, banana or lemon) but I often find myself eating one at about 5 pm, so not really eating regularly enough.
But it is good having actual protein.
At the moment I am having lots of peppermint tea as I got a ginormous bag for £1!

Another weigh in at the clinic and lost another 1.5kg! Very pleased.

So I've lost 26.9kg in total (in 18 weeks!). I have another 3.1kg left on Phase 2, and another 6.1kg altogether.

I fit into my size 12 jeans, which is nice. I have a LOT of baggy skin on my tummy which is not so nice. Obviously the combination of being a chubber, pregnancy and a c-section did not go so well for my poor tummy. Oh well, worse things happen at sea, as they say!

I've also just completely week 2 of couch to 5K, as well as keeping up with gym classes. An instructor at the gym came to talk to me to say I was doing really well, and that she's seeing a difference each week. She's given me a programme to follow to tone up, and has suggested I do meta-fit and insanity classes!!! They scare me, but she said that if I can do Body Attack and Body Combat, then I can do the other classes too. Onwards and upwards!!

Hope you're all having a good week :) xx

P.S. I see the proper Alizonne forum is up and running (FINALLY) yet I don't have a password, and it seems really quiet.

Hi guys, sorry to but in but I've just started alizonne and I'm a little concerned that I've messed up, I've just made veg curry using allowed ingredients but used tandoori spice mix and mild curry powder, now I'm not sure they are allowed sue to possible extra sugar or salt?? Please can anybody advise me??
I hope these first few days haven't been a waste xx

Hi every one went for second weigh in not as good as expected only lost 2.2LB It could be because I've not managed all my packets I'll have to try harder I'm getting on better with the food as other say you do get used to it and I'm experimenting with it all as well making some lovely soups some curry's etc.
The treatment I find no bother now as well and I'm only into my 3rd week
In my self I feel so much better I hardly have a headache now and I used to have them every day if not all day.
Well I will up date next week happy dieting for the next week

Kdaisy curry powder ok, mix might be a problem, but v. Minor, just don't use again - make your own with no added sugar.
First week of Phase 2 complete; 4.5 kg to goal. 14kg lost since end of Aug.

Thanks so much Moanranger for the reply. I will be careful not to make that mistake again, i had used a lot too, You guys all seem to be doing very well. I am on week one and i have my first weigh in on Tuesday, lets hope my little accident doesn't make too much of an impact!!

Hi everyone.

I had my first weigh in today and 2nd treatment. Officially started the sachets on Wednesday so 6 days in total and I have lost 11.5 pounds!!!
I'm sooooo happy

I don't think ill be able to lose that much again as no doubt the majority of it is water but fingers crossed and I'm going to keep at it 100 percent!!
Hope your all having a good week

Hi,

This thread seems to have gone quiet, any alizonners still out there?

Hi Kdaisy

Well done on your first week's loss that's amazing! Sometimes the major change to the diet can have a big impact on week 1 but you should get good results each week if you can stick it out.

I'm on week 3 (10lbs loss in total, 25 to go) had a bad day yesterday, wasnt hungry just really had to stump up the will power not to eat 'normal' food. I can't wait to get on to Phase 2.

Looking at going back to gym/exercise of some form too (hurt my back a couple of weeks ago )

Be interested to know if anyone else had these will power battles and how they overcome them?

Hi there,
I haven't posted anything for a few months, but there seems to be a lot of new people joined which is great to see and read all your progress stories.

I am on phase 2 at the moment as I want to get under my target weight (which as of today I am 400g off reaching) quite excited.

M4rn3y I have definitely had a lot of battles with my will power. I try to make sure my hands are busy, so I have taken up knitting again and I have been sewing christmas decorations too out of felt. It takes your mind off food and focuses you on something fun.

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks for the tip dinoscales, have plenty to keep me occupied with a recent house move!

Well done on the target, I will be over the moon if I get there. It still doesn't seem to be a reality for me yet.

Had a better couple of days, but the cravings are kicking in for me now, and it's for meat!

Third weigh in on phase 2, and this week I've lost a whopping 0.1kg!! That's right, 100g!! Oh well, next week will be better. I've got 3kg left on P2,6kg in total. Needless to say, I haven't noticed my clothes getting looser over this last week hahaha!!!

Hi everyone. I started Alizonne on Tuesday. Had my first treatment today. Lost 4 kg. really happy. Still have a long way to go.
Xxx

Hey munchkinbug any loss is a loss! Can I ask though how many weeks in are you? I wondered if my weight loss would slow down at all.

Well done dark legend great first weigh in!
Week 3 weighin was -1.5kgs but it totm for me too. So total now at 13.7lbs! So close to my first stone! Very pleased but a way to go yet. Defo going to push exercise this week.

Need to find some more veggie recipes any ideas would be welcomed

Hey M4rn3y I'm coming to the end of week 18. I have 33kg to lose in total, and I've lost 27kg so far. It could be hormonal I guess. The Dr seemed to think so. I'm not too worried. Although this is by far my lowest loss, I've had poor weeks followed by good ones so fingers crossed for next Friday!!

I found an old dress today that I bought years ago but never wore (it was slightly too small). I tried it on and it fits really nicely!!! So excited!

Hi All!

I'm finally in phase two and it's really weird because I'm losing more weight in Phase 2 than I was in the last few months of Phase 1!!

I've been in phase two for exactly three weeks today and according to the scales at the clinic I've lost 14.3lbs, just a tad over a stone in that time! I'm waiting to weigh in on my own scales in the morning to know exactly how much I have lost as there is always a slight difference in values. Feels like I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel :D I'm planning on lowering my weight to 11 stones and 10 lbs on Alizonne (from the 19 stones I started at!) and then losing the final stone through a fitness plan in the 4-6 months after finishing Alizonne!! I think my weight is currently just under 13 stones but I'll find out properly tomorrow :)

kdaisy and Darklegend- congratulations on the progress, its fab!!

Munchkinbug - congratulations you've come so far it's amazing!! I wouldn't worry, everyone has little blips and like you said, they are normally followed by big losses!! I love when you can fit into clothes you couldn't before. I actually have unworn clothes I bought years ago! I bought them thinking I would lose into them and fit into them, only took me 7 years to do that lol!! :D Better late than never!!

Hi all

Sandyxblog, well done again, your doing fantastic, I love reading your blog it gives me lots of motivation!!

weigh in on Tuesday, I've stuck to it completely but its time of the month and also im so full of cold, i have avoided taking any medication whatsoever as id read that so many have added sugar etc that we cant have on the program so im battling through it, lol

I think Christmas will be a huge struggle, but fingers crossed another decent loss on Tuesday will keep me motivated.

Thanks M4rn3y how are you getting on?

and well done darklegend, when did you begin and what is your weight/target? it seems like we have started at pretty much the same time?

Hi all

Thanks M4rn3y, Sandy and Kdaisy.
I absolutely love reading Sandys blog too.

Kdaisy - I started on the 4th of November. Start weight was 129kg. So losing 4 kg in 5 days was a shock before my first treatment.
My target weight is 77kg. So it is going to be a long ride . I'm also working out 3 times a week with a personal trainer (started that 4 weeks ago) so hopefully this will help speed weight loss too.
I am worried about how to stay motivated and not give in. I have struggled with my weight for years.
Lots if people say they don't feel hungry but I must admit during the day I'm fine but the evenings I struggle. I miss having some form of carb - bagel pasta or rice. As a result I find my self going to bed much earlier than I would to avoid the temptation of cheating.

Has anyone had similar struggles ?

X

Darklegend, i think we have a similar amount to lose ive started at 18 stone 6 and want to get to 10 stone 5, i cant get my head around all of these kg measurements i have to keep converting back to stone as it s the only one i know! lol

in terms of carbs of a night i know exactly what you mean that's when i try to have my veggie pizza, its gonna be a long hard process to stay motivated but should be worth it in the end.

What clinic are you at?

Hi Kdaisy I'm at the maidenhead clinic. And you?
Thanks for the tip on the pizza. On my next weigh in I will get a pack. My current packs are the cheese omelette, chicken and beef soup, exotic drinks and desserts assortments.
I'm glad we can give each other motivation.

I love the vanilla one too, rhubarb it tastes just like custard. I Tend to have oatmeal for breckfast, hot chocolate, vanilla and rhubarb for lunch a drink in the afternoon and omelette or pizza for tea,

I think it defiantly teaches you to think ahead and prepare what you are eating which should hopefully train us later on.

I'm at the wilmslow clinic
