It's a sickness I swear.

Maybe go for something like indoor crazy golf - Me and my hubby went on a date there recently (in Lpool 1 mind) and it was ACE.

Some good ideas here. Though crazy golf and bowling arre both completely out - I have less than zero hand-eye coordination. It gets past the point of embarrassingly crap, and into the territory of annoyingly rubbish.

It's our anniversary on the 15th so we'll have to think of something non-foody for then.

Keep it up and it'll start paying off - when you get the first weight loss hopefully that is going to spur you on.

I do small targets and have little treats like nails or make up....nothing expensive as the CD it costly enough but just something for me. I sometimes pop into doing SSplus but only when its a night out or I am desperate but the trick is to get straight back to it the next day.

Keep it up!

Yes - i'm all about the treats. Just sticking to it means I deserve rewards, i reckon.

set urself a reward for each week. last week i bought a top and necklace. this week ive ordered a lovely costume for the fancy dress. next week im gonna buy my new glasses. its important that you dont feel that ur missing out during this xx

So am at my friend's house for the weekend. Two and a half hours' drive to get here, plus a ten min walk earlier, and sitting outside til it started getting cold... Seem to have led to me feeling more awful now, on the evening of day five, than I have at any point so far. Utterly knackered, feeling the cold and a banging headache.

And I can tell that my lovely, supportive friends are thinking that this diet is crazy and is going to make me ill.

**Sapphireblue** · 6th August, 2011

Maybe as it's not so hot, you haven't had enough water? Plus you're probably feeling cold due to less insulation, which is a good thing!

**bettiesrevenge** · 6th August, 2011

No no, the cold - is a by product of ketosis! Sounds like the keto fairy has arrived, now you must drink a gallon of water (well about 3 litres!), because high levels of ketones in the blood, thats what causes the headache of doom too...brilliant news though

**spangles** · 6th August, 2011

Oh that is good news. Another headache this afternoon too... I have been drinking about two and a half litres a day but will easily up that. Yay, ketosis!

**spangles** · 7th August, 2011

Felt fine yesterday, but today I'm hungry. I don't fancy any food but I feel empty.

Hi lady, busy weekend so only really on now. Hope youre feeling better. i found that too i felt like this, i put it down to being so used to having food in our lives that its a withdrawal symptom and you almost feel a bit deprived. it passes tho, its just part of it i suppose, hope youre feeling better today. its sunny in london

have a good day x

**spangles** · 8th August, 2011

Today is not a good day. despite this being day eight, I don't weigh in til tomorrow afternoon... but ny my scales I've only lost 5 or 6 pounds. I'm completely gutted. I've been so strict with myself. Obviously in a normal week i'd be made up, over the moon etc - but in week one that seems like a kick in the teeth, tbh.

Hi lady

Look I know its hard but u have to get into the mentality of "atleast its coming off" it might just take your body a bit longer to get into ketosis, everyone is different. I stuck hundred and ten percent in my second week and only lost 3lbs. If you get disheartened by it youll make it harder for yourself. just be glad its coming off and take it week by week. dont focus on the end result. im going for stone by stone. so this week im like right jan you need to lose 2lbs to get to a stone. then next week ill work on the next stone.

also uve prob like me lost inches all over. do some measurements. above all youre doing your health and your body a lot more good then you were before you started it. dont give up. im into my third week now and ive almost stopped thinking about the diet and how hard it is, its become normality almost.

stick with it ok! itll be so worth it xx

best of luck today

**spangles** · 9th August, 2011

Right, well I've had my weigh in and after 8 and a half days i've lost a total of five and a half pounds. It's rubbish - I can't stop crying. I've never lost so little in the first week of any diet, and normally i'll have been eating 1200 calories a day. I've been absolutely 100% and I'm gutted.

I mean, of course I'll stay on it because I haven't got a choice, but 5 and a half pounds in well over a week is completely disheartening. I've got over seven stone to lose, this hateful, insane diet has to be my way of life until I do, and I was optimistically hoping it wouldn't be more than 6 months, but that was factoring in a proper loss in the first week. Now it looks more like seven months at least. Seven months!

My CDC was utterly gobsmacked - she couldn't believe it and didn't know what to say. She probably thinks I've been cheating - but I haven't. It's costing me my self-esteem, and my happiness but I have stayed 100% on the straight and narrow and now I feel like my body doesn't *want* me to lose weight - insane as that seems. Why do I have to be the freak who it doesn't work for?

**bettiesrevenge** · 9th August, 2011

You are not alone - while it is disapointing, you have to think that this is just week 1 in ten weeks that could be 50lb - im 10 weeks in and only lose a couple of pounds a week, but Im making this diet work for me not the other way around! I have lost 30lbs ( hopefully more this week!) thats over half of what I want - I have to keep my eyes on the prize!

Dont give up - swig that water....

**mariah2052** · 9th August, 2011

Hiya maybe next week you will have a big loss xx

**spangles** · 10th August, 2011

So, in the last few days I have had loads of spots on my face. I'm drinking lots of water - at least three litres a day. Is this a common side effect?
