Hi Tange. I can't believe you're on week 3 too. I had it in my head that you were on week 1 still. How were your weigh ins? I'm really worried about those, but it's natural I guess. Yum! Fillet steak sounds divine! Hope you savoured every mouthful
Day 2 has gone fine. No cramps so far, very much enjoyed my fish again tonight (it was on offer!). Looking forward to a nice piece of salmon tomorrow and of course...salad! I find that so strange, to look forward to salad. My, how things have changed! I'm a bit anxious about the trigger weeks but need to keep myself in check "one day at a time!". My friend was telling me her friend is a personal trainer, so she was going to have a chat to her and hopefully after my holiday I'll do a few sessions with her and get my fitness levels (and muscle tone!) up. It's all so exciting, yet so scary.

I stayed the same the first week, but I must add that I had about 2 litres of water in the gym and had just done an hour in the gym before weigh in, week two I lost 3lbs. I am happy with that would love to loose another 6 or so pounds but I am not going to stress out over it.
You are right take it one day at a time and if you stick to the rules you should easily loose that last stone.
Enjoy the salad tonight it will be delish.

I think after a while, as long as you're giving your body the right things, the weight falls to what is right for you. So you're right to not stress about it!
Hoping the salad is all it's cracked up to be and I don't end up with cramps like Tuesday. Listened to the CD yesterday, thought it was really good. Particularly the bit at the beginning about the crisp. Didn't half make me think. Have a good day

Yes I liked that story too, it sure does make you think of all the times we so mindlessly ate.

Well, salad never tasted so great! I can't believe how much I enjoyed it for the first time ever
Tange, I'm off on holiday early Saturday morning. I'm going to miss your support as I know it's going to be challenging whilst I'm away. Thanks for all your help so far. Looking forward to reading how well you are doing on my return!

Hi Kaalin,

Oooh you lucky thing, enjoy your holiday. I also love my salad now can't do without it. Stay strong on the holiday but also enjoy yourself, if you keep it to one meal a day you should be fine. The only advice I would give you is stay off the carbs.
I have my best friends 40th birthday dinner tonight and I know I will have a glass or two of champagne which is not allowed naughty me.
I will miss you too will be quiet in here without you.

Oh wow, enjoy your champers...but like the story of the crisp - be careful! It's a good strength test. I have always needed food with alcohol so it's a case of planning.

I intend to be good with carbs and stick to my fish/chicken salads. Taking some jelly packs with me for next week. I'm looking forward to seeing how strong i can be! Oh, and lots of swimming too...
If i get to a net cafe, I'll log in to see what's going on. Hopefully I'll have no crisises If not before, speak to you in 2 weeks. When you'll be nearly half way through!!
