    buying clothes when you're shrinking mid-journey

    I just buy a few items from supermarkets rather than splash out on clothes from more expensive shops. As others have said I buy them just as they start to fit and wear them until they're basically falling off. At the moment my work trousers probably would fall off if I wasn't wearing a belt but...

    Sometimes it's ok to go off what you planned. Sometimes you'll be more hungry and sometimes you'll be less hungry than what you planned. Always good to be flexible.

    I'm not calorie counting as such. I just happen to be logging my food and exercise on My Fitness Pal as I find it better then the SW log and that tracks calories.

    I go to group and try to stay though I'll probably have to group hop a lot due to working shifts and may not always be able to stay. I've just started in a new group and the timings mean I would probably rarely be able to stay so may have to change groups.

    Below I've put 2 videos and 2 articles about it. Crossfit is basically doing a short intense workout, but mixing it up so you do strength and cardio activities.

    I do crossfit, body pump, and go to the gym, however, it was crossfit that really got me into exercise (I hated it before).

    From 16's to 15's

    Just rejoined after doing another diet for a bit. I was in the 15's but I crept back into the 16's in my few weeks off in-between (the 'I'm joining SW soon so I should eat all the junk food now' attitude didn't help). Hoping to be back in the 15's next week.

    can slim/save make you constipated? if so can you take something to help

    Yes it can make you constipated. You will find once you start you will go less often as your taking on less solids. Sometimes it can also go the other way as well. I take a stool softener such as senna every few days and it seems to work ok.

    Well over the last week I've had 2 compliments from people about my weight loss. Neither of which knew I was doing this diet. However, both times they only commented after they'd offered me something to eat and I'd said 'No thanks, I'm not eating sugar at the moment'. So my theory is that I must...

    I have the concentration span of a goldfish so I'm a nightmare at uni because I only manage about half a lecture of being able to listen (and that's only if its a good lecturer).

    Info on which plan to follow

    I spent a period of this evening turning down jaffa cakes which I actually found surprisingly untempting.
  214. Cherry-Blossom

    Major struggle today:-(:-(:-(

    As long as your only having 500-600ml of coke zero a day you should be fine. I was fine for the first few days and then hungry towards the end of my first week. Everyones different and if you stick to it it should go away.

    starting slim and save after surgery

    I would guess that starting straight after surgery won't be great as your body will require more calories to promote healing. However, my advice would be talk to S&S and talk to your doctor and see what they advise.

    Well for the heck of it I decided to look at some online bra size calculators to see if I'm wearing the right size and they can't decide themselves! I currently wear a 40DD or 38E. According to the Internet I have a range of sizes including: 44F/FF, 44B, 44G, 41F, 42GG, and 40D. I might go and...

    Caffeine

    Diet Coke has citric acid which can affect ketosis. Coke zero doesn't have citric acid.

    Personally I'm on the 4/day with 3+meal thrown in if I have to eat out. Reason being I can't have food in the house!

    Thanks :) and I hadn't drunk anything bar water and coke zero. And Rhi I hate using showers in places like that because they don't have a private changing area.

    Well been the gym for the first time in a few weeks and feel better for it. I do actually enjoy going when I am. It's when I get out the routine that I find it really hard to go. SO I've decided my new gym related goal is to be able to get up to the equivalent of the end of level 5 of the bleep...

    sick of negative people already!!

    I've been lucky so far in that everyone I've told has been supportive. They all think I'm mad and say they couldn't do it but then again they all think I'm mad anyway. Madness obviously has benefits. As for people trying to put you down just say that there's hundred of diets out there, not just...

    I'd like longer legs. I think I'm 28' inside leg. Nightmare finding trousers so short as most trousers are made for about 32'.

    I love the smell of my house mates cooking.

    Low cal but high carb food - need to come out of ketosis

    In normal eating full coke is probably better for you because of all the sweeteners in diet coke.

    Probably not drinking enough to be fair but I've always struggled with that, just seems to have gotten worse recently. And yes I'm going to try having an early night I think though will probably end up lying in bed awake for a few hours like normal.

    Feeling really bad right now. Been having some light headed moments the last few days but tonight was sat at my computer and came over really dizzy and the world started spinning really badly. After a minute felt slightly better but still felt wonky so lay down for 5-10 minutes. Tried sitting up...

    Well looks like I'll end up with a small loss this week. 1lb gone so far. Would desperately love another 2lb to get to my 2st or even better another 3lb to get into the 15's. Need to get some motivation up to go to the gym.
