8 weeks challenge!!!

[Dione]

Hi Guys,

Where is everyone today? very quiet on here all day. Well i had quite a stressful day as the builders got started on the repair this morning and hubby went to Scotland. Boy the house is a mess i have the headache from hell, cant get warm and am very very tired. Good news is i found my size 12 denim skirt and guess what... it fit
That made me feel good considering how i have been feeling over the past few days. I almost nearly quit CD and was thinkiong about WW, purely because i missed the food but if i am honest with myself i know i will cheat on it as it is so easy. Too many options is not my strong point. Thewhole reason i moved to CD was because i was cheating on WW so i am going to stick with CD until goal
I have txt my CD as i am not sure if i can make my WI tomorrow due to the builders and work. I really do need to sit and have a good chat with her but she cant do my normal time which is a bit of a downer so i would only be able to pick up my shakes, weigh then leave

I have been thinking very hard about it and i am unsure with which plan to do. I do really miss food so was thinking of doing 810 but then i know i have to re programme my mind as once i have food i start to pick. Then i thought ok ill do SS+ for another 2 weeks and then go up to 810 what do you think?
God why do i make things sound so complicated lol lol.

I start with taking extra responsibility on at work which means using my brain a hell of alot for 8 hours then i do CD, then i have a burst pipe which has caused £4k worth of damage (which i have to contend with on my own as hubby works away)
i have 2 boys to see to a dog with hip dysplacia and the normal chores that weall have to do.

OMG i need to win the lottery so i can be a lady of leisure
Anyway i am determined to get to 10 stone but have accepted that i wont get there by the end of September. Just means you will all have to put up with me a bit longer xxx

Hello all a bit of a moaning sorry im not liking this 1200 plan so much food to choice from again.!

I should be glad really lol claremary what books have u got on G.I foods/diet ive looked into that last week on the net.!!

Dione heyyy hun so far so good ive had fruit yogurts seems strange really.!! you ok hunny???? xxx

 

[ClareyMary]

Hey Shanny and Dione... Dione i think you need to try the 810 at least for a week... sounds like you could do with the brain food... and people are still having really good loss on it. Also might be easier to cope with nearer to goal.

Shanny.. the book im reading is the Food Doctor one... makes so much sense to me.. worth a look...

Im having my own traumas at the moment... all day yesterday i was weighing 14.12 even in the evening... which i was blooming chuffed at.. so thought... if even if this stays for Tuesday i will be happy with that.... then today i get home from work and weigh myself.. and im 15.3 ?????... whats with that??... so now im sooo annoyed and wondering what i can do by this time tommorow to get the scales back down have already taken a senekot as when i thought about it i hadnt been since wednesday last week... i hate being a compulsive weigher but i just cant stop.. if it wasnt my scales here it would be the ones at work, Gym, Mum, sisters.... ahhhhh

So now im even considering... not drinking anything tommorow... just so i dont have any water weight... maybe have a shake about lunchtime and thats it... am i mad?... i think so ?!

I also think i need to stick to either SS+ or just SS... i have been mixing this week depending on how i feel but think this might be a mistake

HELP XX

 

[Dione]

Clare, you weigh heavier i the evening. i used to have pm WI's (7pm) so i stopped drinking at 3pm which seemed to help. I wouldnt go without any drink though as that can increase weight (not sure why)
Know what you mean about compulsive weighing, i do it nearly every day oops lol cant stop myself.

Hey Shan, just txt so you know im ok xxxx good for you with 100% xxx

 

[Dione]

Ive just added some new pics i took tonight and realised how much work i still have so i cant give in xx

 

[Dione]

Hi good luck with starting the cambridge diet, it really is great.
just make sure you stick to 100% and drink plenty of water and you will soon see the weight come off.

it helps if you buy some ketone sticks from the chemist so you know when your in ketosis,
how do you feel so far???

[ClareyMary]

Ohh you should try the Quorn pieces 200g of Quorn, in a little bit of hot water in a big pan... with some black pepper and a corner off a vege stock cube... cook it for about 5 mins.. then put into little gem lettuce leaves and wrap up... yum

Also someone else said they have mushrooms with cottage cheese grilled on top....

Good luck with your weigh in xx

 

[sez666]
