1 Stone to go and running out of steam? Post here for support!!!

[Lexy1972]

Hello you lovely ladies. Well I hope this gives you all some encouragement. I am almost through day 2 of 100% SS again

I was meant to be meeting my closest girlfriends for a meal this evening but have managed to get out of it as I don't want to be tempted. I figured if I can stick to it as much as possible then I can get the last stone/stone and a half off ASAP! How are you all doing today??? xx

I'm so glad it isnt just me! I've been on the diet for 6 months now and have lost 6stone. I am obviously really really happy with this as it's a great achievement but I just feel now that I'm reaching the final stages of it all I'm just looing motivation.

I just want to go back to normal eating, i dont want to eat rubbish or anything. the stuff im actually craving is fruit and veg just need a change.

the last couple of weeks i have felt physically sick at the thought of my shakes etc and im really struggling to get them down and actually be able to keep them down which is making me more miserable. even the smell of them makes my stomach turn.

I agree with KD that there has to be something else to get you going for the final push but its working out what that is thats the problem.

When I 1st started this diet i woke up every day and looked different which was a great motivation but now im close to my target I know there wont be that much more of a physical change and im finding it so hard to not have a "whats the point attitude?"

Go Aussies indeed!!!

Daily weighing is the only way forwards for me I think. I couldn't bare to wait a week now.

Well done you lexie, you keep it up.

Hello! Can I join in here too? I've just had an extra bar today on top of what I'm meant to have! Kicking myself as had a good weigh in earlier! Just felt the urge to eat and was really snappy with my husband! It is TOTM so maybe that has something to do with it! It is so true about losing the motivation- i'm finding it tough as well.

don't worry minibum, just drink lots of water and it won't do much harm. Well done on the weigh in, it gives me hope!! First 100% ss day for me, just about to go to bed, it's not been too bad and everyone keep your fingers crossed I will see a 12 finally on the scales this week! Goodnight all! X

Oh and if you can think of some good excuses to loiter around the Aussie cricketers hotel over the next couple of days that would be much appreciated too! I have the full on hots for Brett Lee.

Can I join?!

I've got approximately 1 stone to lose and am about 4lbs away from BMI 25. The last couple of weeks have been terrible and I think I've lost around 3 lbs in the past 3 weeks (I haven't had a weigh in as have been on holiday and suffering from flu). I simply can't stick to it 100% anymore and I'm getting so fed up with it now. Last night we went to some friends for dinner and they cooked Paella! I wasn't going to have any, but of course I did and so here I am bloated after too much food (I didn't stop at Paella...) and feeling like I'm never going to get rid of this last stone.

Don't get me wrong - I looove this diet and am lucky in that I find the shakes and most bars delicious! What I'm fed up with is the fact that I can't seem to stick to it properly and end up doing CD as well as eating which is recipe for disaster as we all know!

I've got weigh-in on Saturday morning and I think I'm going to talk to my CDC about moving up the plans as I really miss eating dinner with my family. Hopefully I can still have good losses on 810 and / or the 1000 plan and it would make it all so much easier I think.

Then again, I worry that once I start "allowing" myself to eat I'm not going to stop and the weight will come back on again. This HAS to be the last time I diet and my main goal is to maintain the weight loss and that will be the biggest challenge of all.

Right - I'm going to be 100% for the next 3 days until my weigh in. Hopefully I can lose the couple of lbs I put on overnight

Oh, and my water intake has been so sporadic for the past few weeks and so another goal for the next few days will be to drink at least 2.5ltrs!!

Hello all!!

Last night I ate, but for the last time untill I go to Wales. I had chicken and salad so it wasn't the end of the world but still. it's not right!

So for me I plan on being 100% untill August 14th then I will have SS+ meal friday and saturday then a SS ALL THE WAY untill this last stone has gone!

Come on guys! we can and will acheive this!

Was this thread written for me?!

I've a stone and a half to loose but have completely lost all motivation. I bought some jeans that dont quite fit but they havent helped yet. I think its upping the exercise and finding an exercise goal that might help me but i dont know where to start. Im on my 810 week just now but I think I might stick with it after WI, we'll see. Havent had an 100% day for quite a while now, its like its a compulsion to stray from the plan and eat whatever i can get my hands on.

I've been feeling this quite a lot for the last few days - I've a stone and a half to go and just lost my groove a bit, been picking at chicken more than I should and not really on track.. Coupled with the fact my losses have slowed (and stayed the same for 4 days running) I was really struggling with just not moving up the plans there and then - like others, it wasn't unhealthy food I was after but what I would give for raw carrots and houmous at the moment or chilli with rice or something.. I genuinely don't want the rubbish - in fact someone brought in some biscuits to where I work and brought bowls in to all the rooms and the smell of the sugar made me feel sick!! It's just food I want, I've got bored of chicken and eggs!!

Having said all that, I made myself get back on board yesterday and I had a good day yesterday and another one today, it's almost like starting out again in terms of motivating myself but I'm so nearly there now and will be moving up through the plans anyway in 5 days so I'm off by the time I go on holiday - it's only 19 days until I can eat breakfast again and that's not really that long, if I pull myself together properly I could be very easily under 12 stone (12st 6.8 now) which would be lovely - not long to my target then!!

I have 19lbs to go and so far (having come back from holiday last week) have not experienced the 'holiday slump' (i.e. not wanting to get back into the shakes), in fact, after 2 weeks full board, I was looking forward to having mousses again !?!?!
I want to finish this in 8 weeks and know that the last stone or so will be the hardest to shift, and to get motivated for but like herewego, I want this to be the last time I ever have to 'do a diet' and would love to think that I can go forward after this just monitoring my weight and cutting back if I get a few pounds heavier than target.
Come on 12 stone!!!!
