Well what a difference a week can make on the celebrity slim diet. I have over the week  enjoyed a variety of milkshakes, snackbars and soups. The veg soup is very nice, my favourite milkshake though has to be the banana, its very flavourful and yummy. I would like to say though the cafe au lait one is not that nice warm….i wonder who’s idea that was!!! I have tried the snack bars and i must say the berry one is very nice, the choc and mint one is not bad either and it is great to sit and eat one when everyone else is having biscuits, you dont feel like you are missing out then. However the water is still hard to do, i have added to the water a small amount of sugar free juice, it makes it easier to go down.  I quite enjoy the fact that i can put stuff in my mouth, i mean real food that is, every couple of hours be it cheese of fruit or something as easy as a small salad.  The celebrity slim website has some good receipes, the omelette is very nice and you can fill you plate with a side salad, or a small portion of beans what ever takes your fancy. I have even taken up to doing a bit of wii fit on an evening under the instructions of my kids! Lovely arent they, they are quite bossy when they want to be.

Overall the week, has been quite easy really, i have become a bit of celebrity people asking me if that is really me on the radio, and asking me questions about what i am doing and the diet. I went to my sons school parents evening and spoke about his progress however it turned out he had been telling his teacher about what i am doing and how he is helping me by hiding his crisps and sweets! Nice!!! My sons teacher then wanted to know all about it and on the way out school there was another photo of me in a different role…I am hoping in 8 weeks when i get slimmer that i can change that photo, i cant wait to see a slimmer me!

I have had plenty of support from Janet at the Rowlands Pharmacy in Clayton and all of my family. I have also made some great friends and contacts along the way from other celebrity slimmers doing the diet, via email, facebook and phone.

But ladies, after all the support and the hard work keeping myself same on the diet, week 1 for me was a great success. I lost a total of 4kg which Janet at Rowlands advised me that is 9lbs ladies. Thats 9lbs! Omg it is unbelievable, so if i can do it, anyone can. Losing 10lbs has given me the motivation to continue on to week 2…lets hope it is just as successful, fingers crossed and anything else i can cross at the moment!!
