Noodles 2013 weigh in's to target

**noodles1609** · 3rd January, 2013

First weigh in of 2013 - 8lb off. Really really pleased to have dropped the 6lb Christmas gain plus a little extra free as a bonus. Next task is to make some goal decisions - will update signature once I've done this, spending too much time thinking about it, just need to get on with it and keep the focus!!

Well done Noodles

**noodles1609** · 10th January, 2013

2.5lb this week. Pretty darn pleased with that, it's been a very challenging week and I'm proud that I stayed on plan, albeit with extras on some days. But, on reflection, the stuff I've faced this week would have been carb marathons of several thousand calories (each one!) in the past, so I am mighty proud of continuing onwards and downwards. Lets see how I do this week - have to admit that the lovely comments from friends and colleagues are spurring me on, and funnily enough, so are the jealous snubs from some of the others, bless them, it's sooo not attractive!

and another one just cause I can

Well done Noodles

Hows your dad?

**noodles1609** · 10th January, 2013

Thank you WT. Dad is doing ok, thank you for asking. They cancelled the op literally at the last second on Friday which was rather stressful but did it on Monday instead. He's still in ICU but hopefully will move to HD sometime today or tomorrow. It would have been a pizza fest before s&s!!

**wobbly tum!** · 10th January, 2013

Really know how you feel about the pizza

Glad he's doing ok, it's such a stressful time anyway with a major op but the added stress of cancellation too! I think most of us can identify with the 'reach for the food' response x

Another 2lb off this week. Should really do my measurements again too as I've had a ton of comments this week about being considerably smaller! I'm really pleased with how this is going as I've struggled again emotionally this week, it's been so hard. My food choices are fine for staying in ketosis, but vlc has gone out of the window to quite an extent on some days. I think I should focus on the acheivements rather than worry about the calories at the moment, an entire life of dealing with the tough times by munching my way through them is going to take some changing - I should look at one step at a time towards changing that forever.

You are doing amazing. Well done

**noodles1609** · 24th January, 2013

First target of 2013 smashed! 3lb off this week. I'm so blooming happy about that. It's felt like a real naughty week, vlc is still out of the window and I've really struggled emotionally. However, the last two days have been quite a time of personal realisation and all of a sudden so many things are falling into place and making total sense. All of the changes I'm going through are a necessary part of the process of throwing off all those things I kept hidden in my fat suit, all the things I felt were there to protect me, but really were things just not dealt with or resolved. Losing the fat is exposing them and forcing them to be faced.

It's been tough, but if this last couple of days are anything to go by, it's so amazing to have that realisation. And now up to 51lb lost - that's just blowing my mind!!

**noodles1609** · 31st January, 2013

Ah pants. A hard lesson to learn this week. All this extra to deal with the stress has caught up with me and I've had my very first week of STS. And man, it sucks! Big lesson on how I ended up here in the first place, and probably the kick up the backside I needed. All the bars and wafers are out of site, nothing in the fridge but veg. Need to stop this now before next week turns into a gain and before I know it I'm back to the start.

**noodles1609** · 7th February, 2013

Yay! Thanks to the marvellous support on here, 2lb gone. Yesterday was showing nothing! I can do this, I will do this!

**noodles1609** · 12th February, 2013

Delighted with 6lb this week - short week too as I'm heading off for 3 nights in a little sun. Brilliant! Packs are in the suitcase, plan is to stay on track, but never say never. 1lb to next target smashed is a decent incentive to keep it going

**noodles1609** · 28th February, 2013

Oops, didn't update here last week - well Marrakech gained me 4lb, lost 2 of them by weigh in but frustratingly a pound off target 2 of 2013. Managed to scrap in by the skin of my teeth today on the target deadline date! Really not much of an effort going on, need to try harder. Dr Beck is back in the building, need to stop my craving for cheese....

**noodles1609** · 14th March, 2013

Heck, missed updating last weeks sts. I've been experimenting with low carb food and had too much of it in the name of science to lose anything (!) - have discovered that these "replacement" foods really don't like me very much at all, with the exception of some wraps which I'll keep in mind for future needs. Things like biscuits and crisps and the like shouldn't really be featuring in a healthier diet going forward anyhow, so I'm glad to have got that all out of my system I think (literally

). The experiment has continued into this week, so only a fair to middling showing of 2lb off this week. One the one hand I'm heading fast towards target so the losses are likely to be smaller, but on the other hand it's not quite fast enough and I know I can still do better. I am starting to wonder though, how much my left over skin weighs! I know it will shrink to some extent and toning will help, I'm keen to start up an exercise programme properly. Need to be patient as I think I've cracked a rib moving furniture! Hey ho, onwards and downwards

**noodles1609** · 21st March, 2013

Half a pound! What am I doing!?! Half a pound! This week my head was really missing mac cheese, so, I ate cheese. Stoopid

. I'm so close it's untrue. 6.5lb to get my bmi down to 30, 24 days til I've done 200 days and planned to break to have a toning summer before regrouping in Autumn to see if I actually want a lower bmi than that, and I lose half a pound. Without wishing to excuse that, as it would be wrong, I have upped my exercise a little, which perhaps may account for the changing shape and lost inches to some degree, and perhaps also may have increased my muscle mass a little too. However, half a pound is just plain daft.

So, this weeks plan is to take each day, and indeed, each hour at a time. Go back and read my Beck worksheets from the start and progress them further on - complete 3 days of tasks this week. I'm also cutting out protein and veg but upping my packs to 5 as I will be toning each day. Next week will be my 6 month anniversary on VLCD - lets see if we can hit the magic 5 stone for then
