good morning on this sunny day, well still enjoying my meals but have to admit I was really bad with water yesterday, only 1 litre!, will make it up today, I dont think I will lose anymore than the 5lbs with weigh in tomorrow!

Priority for week 2 WILL be sufficient water drinking!

bunch - egg & bacon, coffee n cream
late dinner - roast lamb, cauli, broccoli & mashed celeriac with butter
1 glass dry white wine soda

still got a few hours to go Sue ... you could at least have one to 2 litres surely?

Good luck for Monday's weigh in and good luck with keeping the water intake up. We'll have to come up with a reward system for every litre you drink each day!

sun · 18th May, 2008

don't get my hopes up! If I'm lucky I'll have lost a pound, if I'm blessed it will be 2 or 3. BUT I am counting on a bigger loss in my third week. I'll let you know. I certainly feel like something is changing. Good luck to us.

Brilliant weight loss x x x

sun · 19th May, 2008

thankyou cheryl,

you are a real inspiration on maintaining for over 3 years, I wish my body would settle where I was happy, I know that a stone over was not too bad, I've learnt a lot about my body so hopefully when I'm back to where I'm happy I will be able to control it somewhat this time.

Well done 5lbs is fab....especially when you think we are eating

jacsprat · 19th May, 2008

Hi Sue

Well done on the 5lbs.

I have been following some of the low carb threads as I have eaten this way it the past. On CD(umpteenth restart) at the moment and so far so good but knowing me goodness knows how long it will last.

I've never been formally diagnosed with insulin resistance but I know that I am very sensitive to carbs and I am a true apple shape so it seems likely.

I'll be interested to see how you get on.

hi jac,

if you have, I would go to your doctor and have a blood test, you will probably also have high cholestrol as well, I was put on tablets called metformin which helped keep things in check until I lost the 3 stones last year, I now dont take them, but as you'e probably read Ive put on a stone and all due to the fact I shouldve eaten a low carb diet, it is the only way for me not bulk round the middle again.

Good luck hun xx

Dancing · 19th May, 2008
