I was thinking maybe a whatsapp group or something so its easy to get quick support if youre about to fall off the wagon? Unless theres another suggestion?

I'd love to join a buddy group! Just to encourage others and receive support. It's definitely worth the struggle guys I haven't felt this happy in years (after dropping back down to a size 18/20 from a size 24/26) in 2 months. All I tell myself when I really want to eat something is.. it'll be gone in 10 seconds.. was it worth it? no! Hoping to get to my normal BMI and original dress size which was a 12-14.
so yes a support group would be brill spurring others on helps myself too x

"A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips"! So how do we do this? Does everyone want to email me their numbers and ill make a group and gradually add whoevers interested or someone else can do the admin-y side of it. We can all love and learn from one another!

I just had a blowout! Ate lots! I have never felt more silly and guilty, I'm straight back on it tomorrow and I know I will pay at Mondays weigh in, has anybody else had a blowout? I know I won't be in ketosis anymore but I suppose that is the price I have paid.

Hi Leanneseel, sorry to hear about the blowout but we're all human and you're back on track by the next shake so don't let it dishearten you! It'll just take you a few days to get back into ketosis then you're well on your way again.
I almost caved yesterday too. I have awful cravings constantly and although I didn't eat I did cry a few times because I really want to! Can't shake my longing for a Chinese takeaway! I'm on day 9 today but I guess I just have a really bad relationship with food? Since I started I've only had one night when I didn't dream about food... specifically being at a buffet and piling my plate high with goodies. I never get to eat it though! I can't even eat in my dreams! No fair.
So I'm still going but sighing a lot and feeling quite fed up. Does anyone else feel this way? Will it get better by week 3? I had my first weigh in today and lost 10lbs in my first 9 days but I still feel disheartened and tempted to throw it away so I can eat and be happy again! Silly, right??

Don't do it! You started this journey for a reason and it will be for such a short time in comparison to the rest of your life, I'm craving again tonight even though I'm back in ketosis but I'm determined to not spend the next 10 years moaning about my weight like I have the last 10! Lol. 10Lb is a fantastic start too well done. I dream about food too haha but I want to be able to start enjoying a treat without it playing on my mind all the time. I'm so sick of weight demons and that is purely the only reason I am strong enough to keep going. Keep at it Hun and you'll be so glad you did at next weeks weigh in. This forum is also keeping me motivated and in check it's such a comfort to know other people are out there plodding along on this horrendously boring diet! It doesn't half bring to the surface how important food is. Food is my life lol

Thanks Leanneseel!
I really needed that! I'm taking it one day at a time and have a little countdown on my desktop showing the 3 days (and hours) until I hit the two week mark! Can't shake the cravings so just trying to keep as busy as I can. I've also decided not to weigh myself daily now as the scales haven't moved for 7 days! I'll see what the scales and the pharmacy say on Wednesday. It's so true what you said about the moaning! I'm always sulky because of my weight and have lost weight on and off over the past few years. This needs to be it! I've found something that works and works twice as fast as anything else so I need to stop being moody! Really feel like I'm breaking some sort of food addiction. Lol food is my life too! And I do find this diet boring now. I'm on the forums everyday for inspiration!

I'm on them too! Even a stick of celery is sounding appealing haha. I weigh myself daily too and need to stop! I think I'm expecting to be a stone lighter every time haha! I'm absolutely fine on this diet Monday to Thursday- but come Friday night and takeaways are all I can think about haha. Think I better go to bed lol

How are you doing today Leanneseel? Ah I know, take aways are my weakness too! Think I might have finally dropped a pound or two but feel it's just water weight. What day to you weigh in?
