Thanks Porgeous and Bunny!

Well...

Day 4 already. I think I've got the roughest bit out the way now Just been to see my CDC so got all my packs ready for the next week. I got 8 vanilla shakes, LOL, cos I'm now addicted to cheesecake mousse!

No weight loss today, but then I'm not exactly surprised, seeing as I lost 6 lbs in the first three days. Managed to slurp my way through 2 and a half litres of water so far today and I've had lots of hot drinks too, so no worries on the fluid intake score.

And that's that really. God, how boring a post is this, LOL? Still, give me a few weeks and at least my ticker will look a bit more interesting.

Can't wait to go shopping for that LRD

Down half a stone now! Yay me!

You gotta love CD

Been really knackered today--TOTM seems to have knocked me for six. But luckily I've got a few days off work now--haven't got to go back till Tuesday

Only trouble is, now I've got to get stuck into revision for my next exam on 30 September. That's only 6 weeks away, gulp. Seems to have really snuck up on me this time. Still, if I manage to pass this one first time (which'll make a change, LOL), I won't have another until next year! So it's well worth putting in the extra effort methinks. It's hard revising without a family sized tub of Maltesers, but just think of all the extra time I'm freeing up

Here's to a brighter slimmer tomorrow!

Well done you!

I weigh in tomorrow morning after being (fairly) good since Sunday and I would be sooo pleased if I have done as well as you.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks bettyb

Hey, I got my brighter slimmer tomorrow--I'm down another pound today. That's 8 pounds in 5 days. I guess that's the water weight accounted for then. From here on in, it'll all be fat--yay!

Don't feel all that bright still though. Went to bed quite early last night and spent the whole time having nightmares. The first was me being caught in a tidal wave (that'll teach me to watch Deep Impact again ), then there was another about enormous spiders, LOL. I put one in the sink and it was huge, LOL, its body was the size of a mouse. Thankfully, I woke up then...

Hmm, weird...

Oh well. I entertained myself this morning by clearing out my knicker drawer. Yep, no longer are there any size 20 bloomers in there, just itty bitty things, LOL. Can't believe it, but I filled a bin bag. There's nothing much in the drawer at all now. Sounds like a great excuse to go shopping. Roll on payday!

Wow. I can't quite believe it, but I've disposed of 11 pounds since my restart a week ago. That's the same loss I had in my first week on CD back in October! I never thought I'd lose that much again in one week again, not now that I weigh so much less. I feel like jumping up and down, LOL.

So, only another 8 pounds to get rid of to get back to the 12 stone mark (which is where I got to in May. Hopefully I should be able to get there in a couple of weeks and then I can get started on losing the rest of my weight!

And at least I can say I've lost 5 stones again in total. 5 stones and a pound, LOL.

Feels like I'm bragging, but hey, this is my thread, I'm allowed, right?

To any one out there who's thinking of restarting, I say go for it! CD is just the best for getting you off and running again!

Thanks too for all the support I've received here on the forum this week. It's made such a difference.

13 lbs down today. Which according to my ticker means I've only got to lose two more stones and I'm at goal. Wow.

I'm sitting here in a dress today even though the weather's crap, I'm figuring, 'hey, it's a bank holiday, for heaven's sake'. Mind you, I'm wearing it with thick woolly socks... Kind of spoils the picture.

But there's a chance that next summer this dress will be too big. Nope, hang on, I'll try that again.

Next summer this dress will be too big for me, so if I don't wear it now, I'll never get a chance to wear it (that's better ).

Maybe we'll have an Indian summer...

Thought I'd better post something as it's been a couple of days. Still going strong. Got down to the heady lows of 12st 4lbs yesterday, but went out for a meal with my Dad and his girlfriend yesterday, and although I thought I chose wisely (all low carb stuff and a total calorie count for the day of under 1000 calories) my weight's bounced back up to 12st 6lbs. I'm pretty confident that's just the salt content making me retain water though. So I'm drinking drinking drinking to flush it out LOL.

Gotta really start hitting the revision hard now. Don't feel like it at all, but the thought of failing another exam is reasonably motivating, LOL.

Sigh. It is Saturday, isn't it?

So it's been 6 days since I last posted here and...

I've lost the plot. Big time. Ever since I went out for that blo*dy meal. I wish I hadn't eaten anything now. I thought I'd be okay, didn't eat any carbs. But the meal out just set off this whole chain reaction. My Dad and I have had a fairly rocky relationship in recent years and although the evening went well, just seeing him still stirred up feelings that I thought were over. It's a long and complicated history and I won't go into it here, I've even had counselling for it, if anyone's wondering whether I need help. I just think it's a time thing.

I ended up eating chicken and then ham on Saturday night, managed to sole source on Sunday but then spoilt it by drinking three quarters of a bottle of wine. I got very tiddly and felt awful on Monday. So feeling awful, I ate, in an attempt to feel better enough to get some revision done. As I've mentioned before, I've got an exam coming up and I really don't feel at all ready for it.

And now--well now, we've got a friend coming to stay for the weekend, and I know damned well that I'm going to have a tough time getting back to CD while everyone around me's eating pizza and drinking wine.

So much for zero tolerance, eh?

I don't really know what to do. Logic suggests that I just go with it, for the weekend. Eat with the others and then get back to CD on Monday. But then, I don't know whether that's logic, or whether it's just one of those chatterboxes that the ex Lighter Life people talk about. See, I've got a feeling that if I try to SS, I'll end up having three packs--and then bingeing on top of them.

Why does it always have to be famine or feast? Why is it that I can be 100% perfect on sole source for days on end, but that when I fall off the wagon, I have to eat everything in sight, even if I don't really want it? What kind of idiot am I? I'm supposed to be an intelligent woman, for heaven's sake.

Oh well, enough of my ramblings. Suffice to say, the ticker below isn't exactly accurate right now. Add about 7 pounds to it (which yes, I know is all glycogen and water mostly--but it won't be if I carry on like this).

Anyone got any advice? I could sure use some right now...

Hi Lilly, I think you need to go back and read your first post, and even the title of your thread "Zero Tolerance" and theres your answers.

Ask yourself a question....

"Do you want to lose weight or do you want to spend more time flaffing about in the overweight BMI section"

"Are your friends coming, just another excuse (again refer to your first post)"

I'm only being straight up with ya, cuz thats what I think your asking from replies to your question. You've had 6days off the plan in one way or another, if you add another weekend to it, then yes those 7+ lbs will be more than water and glycogen, it could take you a week to relose the extra weight (trust me I'm an expert at flaffing myself ), so that'll be TWO WEEKS wasted.

The decision is yours

Hi Lily, I think you should bite the bullet, get back on track 100% and SS from here on in. If you have the weekend off, it will be even harder to get back on track and you will have added even more to the 7lbs gain. Try to picture yourself on Monday/Tuesday and reflecting on what might have been if you SS'd all weekend and got back on track. You would have lost the 7lbs (easily) and be well on your way down to your goal. Remember your first post on this thread, ZERO TOLERANCE! Weekends with friends will still happen once you are at goal. Do this for yourself hun x x x
