How is it fair that one minute i can be so happy and then to have something thrown at me and mess me all up. When i was out at my cdc's my 13 year old son wanted to stay at home, so i was like okay but call me on my mobile and don't leave the house or let anyone else in ( which he did ) but when i got home i see something on his facebook :cry: and i'm really not sure what to do about it. Really need my OH to come home from work so i can chat to someone about it :cry: I'm in such a state about it :cry::cry:

Morning peeps!

I've had quite an emotional morning- I've just been to Tescos shopping and picked up some <gasp> size 16 tops and took a huge risk at some 18 (they didn't have 20 :() denim shorts!!!! I went into the changing room and (after getting teary) realised they all fit!!!! OMG! I was a definite 22 bottoms and 20 tops when I started CD, so I guess that's two dress sizes. I said I'd always be happy when I got into a 16 and now it seems I can really go further! Wanted to buy so much, but realised it won't be long before I'm replacing!

It's down to the fab support that I get here from everyone, CD+Minimins- amazing combo!!
 
Morning All,

Hope your all okay ?

Clare - such a fantastic achievement hun, i'm so pleased for you.

So far today i have had 1 black coffee and almost 1ltr of water so all is going well, i'm really not hungry today and i wasn't last night. I had only had one shake right up till about 9pm when i realised i had 2 more to fit in before bed time :eek:

I've got so much to do today around the house but i'm really not in the mood for it, i just want to go back to bed with my book but I will have to get myself motivated in a little while because this is no good lol
 
Good morning ladies!

Sass! How did you get on with CD yesterday? I feel so much better, back in control since Mum's gone home (no more temptation as OH is brilliant!- I won't tell him that though hehe). I'm a bit concerned to see how next week goes when we go away and I'm on 810 for a week- hope I don't give in and stick to the rules, we'll be eating out alot so I plan to have one meal a day and the shakes at home where we're staying.

Suranne, Laila, Ciara how you guys doing? I hope Susan is having a good time in Egypt- gotta be better weather there at least!!!

OOOh! I tried hot toffee and walnut last night before bed. mmmm like melted white chocolate (well, to a degree!). Off to have my breakie! Have a good day xx
 
Morning all,

Yesterday was great. I found dinner time hard but i think i just have to get over that, its always going to be my hardest time of the day and if i can get through that everyday i will be fine. I do however plan to have some chicken breast if needed, which i did last night, it seemed to do the trick and i felt good. Its not going to effect my losses or my ketosis so i'm still counting it as 100% on plan.

I'm feeling so good being back on the diet, i know i made the right choice to come back.

I did a small workout yesterday, my OH bought us a weights bench the other week, which has the leg and arm attachment to exercise and tone up those areas so i did some of that.

Clare - I haven't tried the walnut one hot but i'm abit funny about some of the others hot, i think they get a really horrible smell when they are made with hot water, its almost like i think i can smell the vits in them ( i know i'm crazy !!) I'm even having trouble taking my multi vit for the same reason - the smell.

Cant believe time has gone so fast that its time for ur 810 week. I'm sure you will do great hun. Where are you going on holiday ? Just sticking to the diet whilst on holiday shows how strong and determined you are so i have every faith in you on the 810.
 
Morning ladies :)

Welcome back Sass! Great to hear you're doing well. I have a small chicken breast if I feel I need it (which is probably 2/3 times a week) and like you, I don't count it as 'cheating' as it doesn't knock me out of ketosis and it doesn't seem to have affected my losses.

Clare, congratulations on getting into the 13's and dropping thoses sizes! You've done brilliantly up to now so I'm sure you'll be fine on 810.

Hope Laila and Ciara are ok, and that Sue is having a great holiday.

Got my weigh in this morning and then off to work this afternnon so will pop back later x
 
Good Morning Ladys,

Suranne - I was just looking at your ticker hun and i was like :wow:your over half way. Thats such a huge achievement, i bet your feeling fab ? Good Luck with your wi hun, i cant wait to hear how it went. I love wi days xxx
 
Thanks Sass! I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how 'normal' this diet seems now.

CD has just been and I've lost 3lbs this week so BMI has gone down to 30, and I'm just 2.75lbs off a 3 stone loss so I am realy pleased :D
 
Suranne, that's brilliant, well done you!!! bmi of 30 means you're almost in the 'overweight' zone, not 'obese' anymore- a major mile stone!!! I know what you mean about the diet seeming normal now, I certainly feel already that I view food in a different light!

Sass, this is not my official 810 week- it's about a month early, just that with going away it made sense to do it then instead.

I haven't tried nibbling chicken, trying to say 100% but unfortunately I've developed a craving for corned beef, which OH permanently has in the fridge. Trying rather unsuccessfully not to nibble at that now and again!

Anyway, apart from the corned beef, had a good day- loadsa water!!! I have WI tomorrow, so I'm desperately hoping I'm officially in the 13s! It's not until the evening so I can't really not have any water or shakes as my CDC tests for that too! Keep your fingers crossed hehe x
 
Good Morning Chicks,

Surane - Congratulations on your BMI hun, such a great achievement. Well done on your loss this week too. Your doing so so so well xxx

Clare - Ahh well going up to 810 is a very good idea for the holiday, at least it wont be a blow out. Do you still have to have your 810 week when your official one is due or will you be able to do ss for another 12 weeks after your hols seems as you have had a break ?

Hope everyone else is doing fine, where are you all btw ? I know sue is on holiday - lucky her :D but i haven't seen Laila or Ciara for ages. Girls come & chat to us :D We miss you xxx

I'm doing good so far, not a single carb blip this week. Whilst on Atkins i found these sugar and carb free sweets that you can buy in holland & Barrett ( they say they are natural ) v v yummy and i have been having one of those a day :D Just help me feel abit more normal whilst doing this.

My scales are also moving very nicely which is very motivating in itself. On atkins in my first week i lost 3lb and then 1lb on my second but on my 3rd i put 2lb back on ( sisters 21st so had some booze ) but when i went to my CDC i was the same weight i was when i was last weighed by her. So going by my cdc's scales i hadn't lost or gained of course but kinda made me feel like atkins was abit of a waste of time re loss ( was good in the sense that i got to sort my head out and gear up for cd again & without gaining ) but anyway my point in all that is just that its great to see real movement in the scale department.

I was saying to chris ( OH ) this morning that i really don't feel much difference in my body shape and if those scales were not telling me that since january i have lost over 3 stone i really wouldn't believe it. lol. its funny how the brain works. I'm sadly one of the unlucky ones and i have only dropped 1 dress size so far but i'm hoping that will speed up at some point. I really cant wait to get into an 18.

I was chatting to one of my friends who i have known since i was 9 and she is thinking of starting CD. She is going to phone my CDC tomorrow. Whilst she only has 3 stone to lose it will be so nice to have someone IRL that's also on the diet. I tend to drive people bonkers ( family ) who are not really interest in diets with all the knowledge and info i have learnt since january, so it will be good to have a friend i can chat to about it. I have even thought about studying Nutrition but it looks to me like a lengthy process and i kinda need to get to work now.

Last night i was chewing my OH's ear off about a web site i want to build/design which will have detailed info on as many diets as possible, not a forum like this but one where people can go and get answers on many diets all in once place. I was up till like 1am thinking about it. When i started my diet i knew nothing and i found out about certain diets from all different sites, when i came across minimins it was a god send but with most the diet sections you have to ask alot of the questions but i would like to offer the info there already. I only came up with this idea last night so it could all change :D

God do i jibber jabber anyway i wont rabbit anymore pmsl

Have a good day all xx
 
Well! I'm back from WI and 6 and a half lbs off for me, which now makes me OFFICIALLY in the 13s and under 200lbs!! I'm really chuffed, especially as I know I ate quite a bit when Mum was over! Woohoo!!!

Well done, Sass on your lack of carb blips! Wish I could say the same for the corned beef! I'm gonna tell OH not to get it next time as it's too much to resist!

I know what you mean about your changing body shape- it takes a long time for your head to catch up- I'm using photos and clothes to try and visualise as much as possible, but it's not easy!

I do agree that Minimins is AMAZING- I wouldn't have stuck with it without it! It will be good for you to have a friend doing CD, just to talk in real life to someone about it :D

I think the website idea is a great one, hunny- do a bit of research on the various review sites for diets, there's hundreds out there- enough to keep you busy for a long time!!!

Well done, too on not putting on weight during atkins- all that food and high fat too! I'd go binge crazy methinks hehe.

Anyway, time for chocolate mousse! I'm STARVING!!!!!!
 
Evening all

Well done clare on getting officially into the 13's and omg !!! under the 200lb mark is a huge thing. You should be so proud of yourself your doing such a fab job !!!

I had my wi today and i have lost 6lbs in 6 days which i'm very pleased with. :D

Anyway i'm only dashing in to say hi n bye n all that as i have had such a busy day. My whole body is hurting right now and i just want to curl up on the sofa.

Hope your all doing okay ?
 
Evening!

Wow, Sass, 6lbs in 6 days is an awesome loss! Well done hunny!!

I went shopping today and bought a size 18 pair of jeans which fit beautifully- I'm so chuffed, it means that the shorts I got the other day weren't a fluke and I guess that makes me an 18 on bottom, 16 on top! I'm now smaller that I remember being at uni- it's a great great feeling!

On not such a good note I caved in and bought some cooked chicken from asda. I only meant to eat a slice, but reckon it was the equivalent of a breast. Oh well, it had no carbs, so no major damage done and again, I'm not gonna feel guilty because that will put me in binge mode, which I refuse to do. I'm calling it damage limitation which seems to work for me hehe!

I saw my Dad and my Nan today who's jaws practically dropped when they saw me- it's been a few weeks- so a really nice suprise. It's lovely to have a family who are so proud- they said my bro won't stop talking about it he's so chuffed. Makes me want to keep going!!!

Anyway, mousse time!!! chocolate (for a change...ooh I love it!) xx
 
what great motivation - Its nice to have family that are really happy for you. Its funny how its taken you two items of clothing to believe your an 18, our heads and our eyes take along time to see how well its coming off. Your really are my inspiration to keep going and even to come back to Cambridge, it was your photo's and your lovely achievement of getting into the 13's that got me going again. I cant wait to see your next set of photo's at 2 months. There is such a huge change in you :D Can i ask you a question hun, do you see the change in yourself ? when i look at my pics i really cant see it but i wonder if its again the head thing making me not notice it.

I have had meat every night this week, even had things like pork chop with melted cheese on top ( which isn't allowed on ss+ oopsie) but i knew it wouldn't knock me out of ketosis. I think i'm now going to stick with ss+ for the rest of this as its much easier on the head and seems to work well with me. Tbh this is the first whole week where i have managed to stay in ketosis so i know its doing me some good eating a little at dinner time. Its funny because i came from slim fast and always said that if i eat on this diet then i will stop as i might as well do slim fast which is cheaper, i think i kinda set myself up to fail when i said that but now my opinion on it has changed and you can still lose weight fast even on ss+ and i don't see it as a break in the diet.

Mousse hmmmm i think i'm abit odd. I must be like the only person that don't like it. I made one tonight for a change and its still sitting in front of me 30mins later because i took one spoonful and cant eat any more. Has anyone gone off flavours that they liked in the beginning because i seem to be going off flavours all the time. One day I'll like chocolate mint the next day i cant stand it. I'm in a strawberry mood at mo but i'm hoping i don't go off it. My cdc is away for 3 weeks so i have had to make an order for 69 packs and most of that is strawberry so i' praying i wont go off or else i don't know what i will do.
 
:( have just posted in the main cambridge section about my incident with a chicken. Needless to say I'm feeling pissed off and guilty.

And Sass, thank you for your lovely compliment about inspiring you- I feel a bit of a fraud now to be honest. How do I stay in control around food if one measly chicken is gonna drive me crazy?

I was just too lazy to make a shake as I knew the chicken was there. Anyway it's in the bin now and I think I've finished venting... x
 
Your only human hun and i also get really lazy with making shakes and think "oh well a bit of chicken will be faster and yummier and then i will have my shake later". I did read your post and the chicken is not the problem like you pointed out but its the way in which you had it. Did you eat the whole chicken hun as in binge on it ? I don't mean to say these things to make you feel worse i just think that we can help each other understand why we need to eat as much as we can when we do start ( by that i mean i can have one piece of chicken not be hungry but still go and get another ) strange why i would even bother. For me my chicken munching isnt because i'm hungry at all but it just helps me head wise but again its something that will need dealing with or else i could be in grave danger of being a CD returner after putting it back on ( big thing that worry's me tbh )

And dont feel like a fraud at all, you have been soooo strong and done so well. I came off the diet for these reasons and i really think that we beat ourselfs up way to much on this diet. Its not an easy thing to do and at least your ckicken would not have taken you out of ketosis so you wont need to worry about battling back into it.


Chicken munching day.
___________________________________________________

^^ and this is your line under it !!!

Next time you fancy some chicken limit yourself to a small amount on a saucer and sit and enjoy every mouthful because as long as you don't over indulge a little is fine. xxx If you can do that when ever you feel the need and win everytime then your winning the binge battle !!! and i...... i am going to take some of my own advice :8855:
 
Hehe, thanks for that, Sass, the kick up the butt is what I needed. I feel so much better today! I do have some cottage cheese in the fridge eyeing me up, but I don't need to go there. One thing's for sure, my craving for chicken has definitely subsided (yes, it was almost a whole chicken between Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon!) The thought of it makes me feel queasy!

Anyway, am gonna pamper myself with lots of moisturising today, stuff that I go for my birthday that needs dipping into. I think psychologically I need to look for other treats that are not food based...but make them a normality so I don't feel as great a need to treat myself in the first place..does that make sense?

Gonna look up some nice 810 recipes ready for next week- I've got tofu, which I love (may have as spicy soup with pak choi...without lime boooo)..oh! I could add some to chilli soup maybe, that'd be tasty! I've got some quorn pieces and sausages in the freezer, so time to start racking my brain!
 
Clare - Hope you enjoyed your pampering and are feeling ok after your little blip. Have a great holiday, and don't worry too much about 810 - I'm sure you'll be fine!

Sass - Your post to Clare contained some brilliant advice; hope I can adopt the same attitude as you because my chicken eating is getting out of hand! I've been having a chicken breast every night even though I'm not hungry. I don't really see it as cheating as it doesn't knock me out of ketosis, but it is really as I'm supposed to be on SS! I cannot understand why I feel I have to eat it so I'm back to eating for the sake of it insteadof when I'm hungry, which is why I ended up weighing 16 stone and having to resort to CD :sigh:

Going to make my last shake of the day, so hope everyone is ok and has a good weekend :)
