3 months in and still going strong

[owup here we go]

Well, another weekend almost done - hubby is in the kitchen cooking a Christmas cake (which I will have a piece of at Christmas time) - the smell will soon start to filter through to add to my Sunday evening joy as I am already hankering after a roast dinner. I know I don't want it really and am not even hungry but that doesn't seem to stop me wanting it. So I am better off on here to occupy myself for a while.

Hopefully I will feel a bit more positive tomorrow - have been feeling quite grumpy today - for no reason in particular.

My hubby sat eating pate. I just love the stuff and after just having a baby and finally being able to eat it, it was very tempting to snatch it off him and eat it, lol. so I came on here, I'm only on day 4 (going well 8lb off so far) I always come on here if I'm struggling a bit, its great to see so much success (yours included) xxx

Just found your diary, good luck for weigh in

 

[owup here we go]

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

Didn't do as well as I hoped - only 1lb lost! I felt really cheesed off as I have been pretty good even though not 100% - but was ok all day at work - until I got home and before I even knew it had a few biscuits - madness eh?! I then followed them up with some horrible chewy sweets left from halloween in case trick/treaters called. Still, I think I have got that splurge out of my system and will be 100% and all next week.

It was a really odd one for me because I usually crave for savouries not sweet.

The flowers are looking great Susie - especially the ones out the front which are all pretty in pinks & purples - so they greet me on the way home - ( I can just make them out in the light of the streetlamps!!). Sorry you've had to work so many weekends - hopefully you can get a bit of rest soon?

Take care all, will catch up tomorrow to let you know if I have been a better exante-er and stuck to 100% after my sulky tantrum today!

Well done on the loss anyway.

1lb is still in the right direction - it is like the scales are mocking us though when it happens. x

 

[owup here we go]

Of course you are both right - its just so frustrating after last weeks great result.

 

[kas getting slimmer]

It's still a lb less to loose, hoping for a good week for you this week

 

[owup here we go]

Thanks Kas, better today & more positive.

You're doing really well! 16 weeks - well done, very proud :-D xxxx

 

[owup here we go]

Thanks Shuffler!

proud of you too, you can keep at it for another week or two eh!

I'm slowly catching you up...!

See you tomorrow xx

Well done - it's another 1lb in the right direction and the total loss is fab-u-lous!!

Well done on the pound lost, I know its frustrating when you've tried hard and the scales don't reflect it :sigh: but hopefully you will reap the benefits next week. I have the next few days off now as doing nights later in the week so I think I might do those plants

The weeks I haven't lost much I know I haven't drunk all my water, when I have had good water weeks that has been the best losses so keep guzzling!

Well done on the weight loss! I have about the same total amount of weight to lose as you and had started a VLCD at around about the same time as you and joined the gym at the same time. The gym instructor told me off for not eating properly so since September I have been eating 'normal' healthy food and exercising loads and lost a grand total of.....0lbs! If I'd started exante in August I could have been where you are now instead of still being stuck on the 233lb mark
You've done really well and I'm just waiting on delivery of my first exante products so I can follow your lead.

 

[owup here we go]

thanks for the continued support & encouragement everyone.

Hope you are enjoying your time off Susie.

Good luck with exante Sandwich - I have found this site really helpful and supportive, so hopefully it will help you through your first few days and weeks as well.

week 17 - lost 3 lbs, so much better, but still a bit disappointed. I was really hoping to be under 13st by start of December - we will see - only 1 week left to lose 5lbs!?
