How's it going? 11lb is brilliant! I'm restarting slim and save tomorrow. Haven't weighed myself yet and it won't be pretty (eek). Does it feel good to be back in control? I know what you mean about clothes - I love them too and can't wear most of mine at the moment.
Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
Hi Kira - I am doing very well thank you. How about you? Is it sunny where you are - its so nice to see SUN!!!
Week 2 weigh in - 4 pounds! That is a Stone and 1 lb in 1 week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Now I am where I was when I did my last run at abstinance - so I only regained 2 weeks over. lol Not as bad as I feared - so now just knuckle down and rock it.
And tonight - bars! |I thought I got them last week, so I am extra ready and going to enjoy chewing!!!
How are you getting along Kira?
I suppose I should put a ticker up.

Brilliant! Well done 4lbs is a fabulous loss! You know I think sunshine can make such a difference as how we feel. I'm in the north east and the sun has been shining and apparently is forecast to be good all week! Yeah!
Im on day 2 of vlcd detox for a few days just to get bak some control as I gained 5lbs during May and I have to nip the regain in the bud otherwise before I know I'll be near enough 2 stones heavier and no longer fitting into my sizes 8 &10/12's.
I found the 5:2 fast diet great for initial maintenance and plan to try that again once i've lost this 5lbs.
I am very excited for you as I think another week or so under your belt you'll be flying!

I think that is one of the biggest keys to maintenance is nipping it in the bud. Good for you!! Good luck with the detox - you must be about done? My boss has done the 5-2 diet, with good results, she looks great. I don't think that would be for me - I am such an ALL or NOTHING person - the back and forth from eating and fasting would be too much. lol
This morning, for the first time in MONTHS, when I put my jeans on - I felt east, where all I have felt during this whole spate was pain and pinching. They are still tight for sure, but I felt them ease on with out as much pulling and wiggling my arse about. lol
Makes me breathe a sigh of relief!
Keep on doing well with you maintenance stratagy!!! You are doing fab being so quick to react.

Hi BL - its a long time since Ive been on minimins - thought I would look up a few old faces! I'm on day 6 of exante/LL as I have finally come to the end of my tether with weight Got into ketosis with no problems and now just got to resist everything this weekend - hopefully then will be on track! Are you still in touch with Slendablenda - how is she getting on? I will have a read through some of your diary later to get inspired again I don't really feel ready to go back on the LL board yet! Hope you are keeping well xx

BL - I'm glad to hear you're doing well You seem in much more positive frame of mind which is nice to see!
Hi Daisydoll! Nice to see a familiar face! Don't worry, we're all restarting in some form or another At least there will NEVER be any judgement here; only open arms and plenty of support!

Minerva I haven't seen you post on here for a little while, how are you getting on?

Hi Tess How are you doing? Hopefully you've settled into the LL way of life now?
I'm doing ok, had 2 weeks off from dieting of events and stress etc, but back on it for two weeks and then I'm off for two weeks again to go road-tripping around Europe. Hopefully by doing it like that I'll reduce any damage! I think I'll be roughly same weight as I stopped at in mid-May before I go away for my holiday next week so it's good.

Hi everyone. How are all you skinny losers doing? Everyone feeling on track, and positive?
I am off this week and this is a long needed break. I am enjoying myself so much. Just doing all sorts of spring cleaning - movie watching - retail therapy - denatl appointments LONG put off finally over with <phew>, and just really enjoying myself. Been gardning - cleand my oven - I am upgrading all my balking trays and roasing dishes for nice new ones. Out with the old standard burnt on pyrex dishes - in with the enamel non stick in lush reds and purples....a cast iron gratin dish in firey orange and enamel. Even trating myself to a new cookie press, which reminded me of the christmas cookies mom made every year, for years and years. And I always stood with her and decorated, standing on a little stools. Oh - and replaced my oven trays tool. So nice to have all new things.
There is a method to my madness. One - I deserve some new ktchen ware - been using basic cheap and cheerful pyrec for a long time. But the real reason, all my dishes are HUGE. And there are just two of us. So I am upgrading and down sizing. This will encourage smaller portions.
Oh - and the real news - lol, I almost forgot! I lsot another SIX pounds this week!!! :bliss:
That is 21 pounds in 3 weeks!! It's really going well.
I do wish I would start feeling it in my feet and knees though - but that surely won;t be far away.
Feeling pretty chuffed.
I hope everyone else is buzzing and feeling good and focused - keep your eyes on the prize - remmeber - visualise seeing yourself at goal....that does help!!!

Great post and planning! I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon. Super losses!
Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
Oh what a fun busy busy day! After my weigh in, I looked in at B&Q for some garden furniture. Now that we FINALLY bliss: ) have a finished back yard now - we have decked the who thing up to the border thats already planted and beautiful - and now, instead of piles of rubble, spare tired, engine parts, (boys. pah!) etc, we have level groud which is a blessing for my feet - and it a lovely little haven now. So we are getting atable and some chairs. Maybe tomorrow night. I found a lovely mosaid one in all sorts of sand and neutral tones. I hope he likes it. I then saw the dentist to have 2 cavities repaired. I actually nearly almost fell asleep in the chair!!!???? What? That NEVER happens. Good sign - only used this dentist once before. They had an opening later in the day so I went back and had my teeth cleaned - which I am wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over due for. And now, I have just returned from Dunelm MIlls!
And I am dog tired, and me feet are up and screaming at me - but it was fun. Tomorrow will be a fun day getting every thing organised and put in its new digs. I also got some shoe storage boxes that I am going to use in the freezer - we have a deep chest freezer and I am so sick of having to trawl through everything to find the peas. (For him. lol) So now I can make "Drawers". I hope it works. I am really plesed with my purchases. Maybe tomorrow when I take them all out I will take pic and share. Since I am not sharing clothes, at all, at the moment..... hehe.
Man I have been on such an organsising streak lately it is SO unlike me. But feels great. It feels great to have the deisre - to care enough to want to do something productive for a change.
Feels good to feel good. And to have sparkly clean teeth. (As clean as they can be after years of smoking and coffee!!)
Hey - did I ever say here that I successfully quit smoking? I can;t remember....but I quite a year and 9 months ago. Snuck up me today at the dentist how long ago it was! yay!
Anyway...I have a fresh pot of coffee waiting for me in the kitchen....so catch up with y'all later!
