Back Again !!!

[May45]

Hi all, never thought I'd be back on TS again...after all the hard work a few years ago, thought I had totally got this weight thing sussed.... How wrong was I? A few work problems, a few family issues and Bam! lost focus, gained weight, ignored it (isn't that the worst bit) scales kept going up and I kept ignoring it... was 10st and hit 14st That was it.. enough is enough I'm day 2 TS and current plan is to stay TS till October - OH big birthday mid Oct - then decide whether to keep going TS. Any and all support/encouragement, hints & tips much appreciated... have a great day everyone... wish me luck ?

Ohhh, that's rough. Something pretty similar happened to me: I lost a tonne of weight, maintained for a while, then lost the plot when various life-things happened in my vicinity and then let everything slide until the problem was chronic again. I found it really hard to start up but once I got passed that initial (mainly psychological hurdle) I've the experience much the same as last time - so you'll be fine.

Welcome back to a VLCD. Let's try to make it our last time!

I’m in your boat was 10st 2 after following CWP. Maintained for 2 years, another another baby, life **** happened and in 4 years I’ve gained 4 stone. I’m on day 2 also. Have been on a geography field trip with my daughter today and survived. Am determined and just keep telling myself that I am worth the effort.

[RareKiwi27]

Fingers crossed May

How was day 5?

I’m currently camping with my kids realising some things are more bearable when alcohol is involved!

I’ve been 100% and weeing like toilets are going out of business. Still slight headache but energy spike.

I will do this journey and nothing camping, kid **** or emotion will block my path

 

[RareKiwi27]

May how you getting on?

Hey there.... sorry for delay in replying... was out on the cliff watching the boats in the sound. I weighed myself this morning..... 7LBS lost and 2 inches from my waist so happy with that. I have to confess to a glass of wine after the ️ so really really pleased with this result. Week 1 week2 starts today.... I am ready.... bring it on. How’s your first week been? How did you do? Hope you’re good ?

 

[RareKiwi27]

Hey! Glad you’re ok. Week 2 begins for me as well. I lost 8lbs. I won’t weigh again until end of month as having done CWP I know I get irritated but as long as I loose 1st every 4 weeks I’m happy! My aim is to be in the 11s by September.

My husband is away this week so just me and the kids which I find easier cooking wise. I’m worried about school holidays and energy but will up to 800cals daily if I struggle.

I miss Gin. I have a bottle in the cupboard for when I’ve finished. I realised I use alcohol to cope with life ****. Probably a contributing factor to my 4st over weightness!

Do you have any concerns or worries?

The best thing for me is the positivity I feel and energy. Plus recognising other coping strategies. Sorry I rambled.

Hey @RareKiwi27 ... how’s your week been? Hope you’re ok ....

 

[RareKiwi27]

Hey I’m ok feeling very tired, but it’s been a very busy week with my kids. Wednesday I messed up triggered by stress had two packs, a g&T and a 94 cal meriguine bar. Been 100% since. 3 packs and 1 200cal meal (chicken, turkey, salmon, eggs with either spinach, green beans or asparagus)

It’s day 11 and I’m 10lbs down.

How are you getting on?

 

[May45]

Wow you’re doing really well ... I’m day 11 and 9 lbs down... seem to be stuck at mo (I weigh every day, sad I know). So been same for 3 days... am hoping for big loss over weekend. My week3 starts Monday

Hey,
That's exactly the same as myself.
Day 11 today for me too. I lost 9lbs in the first week and the scales haven't budged since. Hoping they will have dropped a little by Sundays weigh-in.
Fingers crossed for both of us! x

Hey May! Was wondering how you were! Happy to see all is going well for you 9lb is great. It will all come whoosh down - bodies can take long to adjust sometimes. How are you finding it, otherwise?.
