Thread: Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

Sorry if that sounds a little bit like teaching a pro to suck eggs...lol! It's not meant to sound that way at all.

Ha ha not at all. I'd already thought about the christening food and weighed myself on Friday to take it into account. However I am due on and my CDC suggested I might actually be drinking too much water. Apparently some people start retaining water if they drink too much. So I'm knocking it down to the minimum 2.5litres see what happens, I go seem to be quite prone to retaining water around TOTM.

No matter what I'm still cracking on with diet, I'm not giving up just yet.

Hi - just been reading through your posts . Hope you get to your goal for your hols. Sounds wonderful - I went to Vegas about 5 years ago for my birthday and it was fantastic you'll have a whale of a time! Interesting point about retaining water if you drink too much.....How much have you been drinking per day? I only ask as last week I was disappointed to only lose 2lbs and I'm now wondering if I can blame that on the water!

I've been drinking 4 litres a day. It's what I did last time but it was summer then so I'll have probably sweated more out. I'll keep you posted and let you know if decreasing water helps any, I'm not convinced but I don't need an excuse to drink less.

Surfhunny,

You've done this before and had great results and you will this time. 2lbs loss for TOTM is good, it's 2lb off and closer to your target. You'll have the body of a Las Vegas showgirl before you know it!

I'm so proud that you resisted the scone, muffins etc - I know how hard it is to do that but you did and should take great pride in that. You're doing well and are so determined to do this!

Keep it up chick xxx

Same here, only lost 2lbs when I have ToTM. I just became a human sponge and retain all the fluids I take
I think if you stick with at least 2.5ltr you'll be fine, at least you're getting the minimum amount of fluids then

Well I seem to have escaped from my little mishap on Friday night and have lost 2lbs at my earlier than normal weigh in. Phew!! My CDC is away for 2 weeks now, so this is where I'm at my most vulnerable dietwise. I'm going to try really hard to see how much weight I can lose before she comes back, because last time she went away, I put weight on.

That's not going to happen this time. Even though I've got Little E's Christening and all the shannanagans that go with it on Sunday, I don't see my CDC again until the 7th April so I've got plenty of time to get right back on track and lose a bit more.

Well done! Have you got a goal in mind for in 2 weeks time?

Not really i try not to set myself goals because they seem to have a negative affect on me...I seem to want to rebel against them lol. So long as I've lost weight, I'll be happy, hopefully a good chunk too, then i'll be really happy. I'll be really really happy if I can lose 7lbs but that sounds awfully like a goal so I'll pretend I didn't say that.

Good luck xx

Wow, Vegas. I'd love to go there!

Hmmmm, I wonder. Other half's divorce will be through soon. If we get him a passport, head to Vegas and I 'absent mindedly' pack the divorce papers ........

Seriously, I'm sure you'll look stunning when you get there xx

hey surfhunny, glad to see your dropping the weight. just wanted to say you look stunning in them photos from new york keep it up!!

Heehee! That's not a goal, it's just a rough guideline! I know what you mean though, when I set a goal it's almost like I'm setting myself up for a fall. I need to learn to take it as it comes.

i had a christening in the first week of my starting CD. i took a bar and stayed away from the food table... drank water whilst all around were downing pints, wine, etc etc hard work but worth it.

2 weeks..... i don't envy you! i hate 2 week weigh ins. i love the title of your thread.

Today is going to be a big test for me. I've got a 21 hour shift ahead of me. It's amazingly difficult to time my shakes properly to cover a 21 hour period. So I'm not having my first one til 4pm - if I can make it til then lol. It's a long tough shift so I'm in the middle of cooking up some chicken to pick on too. I just hope the people I'm working with don't want to get take away or bring in tons of bad food because these shifts are when I'm totally at my weakest. Last time I did CD I gave them all away so I wouldn't have to be tempted, but unfortunately this time round it's not been so easy to give them away.

I'm not going to beat myself up for having more chicken than is allowed because it's better than picking on bad things.

what job do you do?

keep going! your gonna look fab in vegas baby!
