Total Solution Gothicess- trying so hard

Ok so please be gentle with me this is my first ever attempt to write about anything I'm doing!
So here's about me. I'm a stay at home mum to 3 girls a 4and a half year old who started school this year and 18 month old twins.
Basically I didn't really put weight on whilst pregnant with the twins as I don't think anything stayed in my stomach for more than 5 minutes all the way through! But 18 months later after fully devoting myself to the girls I found myself unhappy with "me".
So I've decided to jump onto exante and shift this weight. My ultimate goal being back in the 11 stones by Xmas (if that's even possible) I'm in the 14s now and I am 6 ft tall.
I have the full support of a wonderful hubby and I am now on day 14. But exante still haven't deliver my order and I'm out of packs and having to substitute with atkins !!
Actually it's really annoying and their customer service has been unfortunately poor. I ordered last Sunday for next day delivery and yes I'm still waiting. It took until I emailed them 3 times to tell me that they were out of stock. But not offering me any help in the meantime.
So basically I am waiting waiting waiting!
Anyway that's a little about what I'm doing. I hope it's not too boring!
 
That's a bit rubbish, I hope they sort it out. I ordered mine last Tuesday and it arrived on Friday, was also supposed to be next day delivery. Jeez, I bet twins are hard work, I struggle with a 2 year old and a 5 month old :)
 
Next day delivery seems to be a bit of a farce then really!! They should realise that we kinda rely on them. ?
Twins is interesting to say the least especially as they are moving around a lot now !
 
Oh dear, hope the packs come soon Gothicess .

You sound like you have your hands full with the kiddies. Bet is lovely having twins though.

Is this the 1st time you have done VLCD ? X
 
Hiya

No I did do lighter life 6 years ago and lost 6 and a half stone. But what with babies and things it's just crept back on slowly. Not that I'm anywhere near I was before LL x
Having my twins is lovely when they are not fighting lol x
 
It's finally arrived 9 days later!!!
I'm a bit miffed though that there was no apology or acknowledgement :( but yay porridge today!
 
Enjoy your packs. I love the porridge x
 
Hi Gothicess how are you getting on? :)
 
Hi all

I'm sorry I've been away from here but I've just been so down about everything. TOTM came and has just gone so that's one reason I was down. But also I seem to have put weight on??! And honestly I have been 100%. I just don't understand it. People have noticed I've lost weight but nothing is showing on the scales except a gain. ?so now I'm back here. Seeing how brill everyone else is doing which is fab xx
 
Try not to be disheartened Gothicess.

Sometimes TOTM can make us show a gain because of water retention and bloating. It can be so frustrating to see no movement or wrong movement on the scales but keep going and I'm sure you'll see a nice loss very soon!

Glad to see you back on here.
 
So today. Yet again not feeling very positive as the scales still show no loss ??
I've got till the 21st of November to reach a target of loosing another stone and a half. And that just looks less and less likely. Just wish I knew what was going on. Come on weight loss being it on!!!?
 
Im on about 3 litres a day and over. And having the porridge a carbonara and a bar a day. Maybe I'll give the shakes another go. Not a fan but maybe it will help x
 
That's unusual have you ever had a problem like that with weight loss before? If two weeks pass with no weight loss, then I would actually be concerned and go and see a dr, but if it's a matter of days, out bodies can play catch up. It is impossible not to lose weight eating what you are. Also stress inhibits weight loss, but regardless your energy in is so low not to see one. Do you take measurements too? When did you last see a loss? Try as much as you can to believe in yourself and stay positive x
 
I feel terrible about it now. I'm still not back at what I was before TOTM. Nothing's coming off. I just want to give up now:( seems like I'm wasting my time. I never had this problem before. I'm going to try some shop scales but I don't hold up much hope as mine are new digital scales!
 
Try new scales. And if not, don't give up. But see a dr and get your thyroid checked. Something is wrong if you can't lose on such low calories. Must be frustrating but don't self destruct x
 
Yes as Lara said go and check with your doctor to make sure everything is all right.

You could always try TS+ and see if that helps the pounds to shift. A lot of people have said that it seems to kick start their metabolism. But definitely see the doctor the first as that normally happens a few weeks in not at the beginning.

I hope things get better soon x
 
Thanks Sheridan. I think I am gonna go see the doc next week. I'll let ya know how it goes.

And belated happy birthday to you too !! Xx
