Cambridge diet buddy?

[charlieann01]

hi i don't know if it's any help but if ur craving nuts there is an alternative if ur able to have chickpeas bake them in the oven having given them a spray with fry lite and some crushed rock salt. tey become really nice and crunchy and have a similar texture to nuts I found it has helped when i am looking to snack on something.

maz

Thank u but I'm actually not allowed anything like that, I was being very naughty and I'm trying to get out of the long term habit of snacking which has gotten me on this diet in the first place xxxx

 

[tomnkatesmum]

Yeah me too, evening snacking particularly while watching the TV was one of my biggest problems! IM also trying to stay away from a healthier option of snacking otherwise I'll be back where I begun too soon! I need to forget about snacking!.easier said then done though!

A week away and I miss loads! Ladies, super well done on the losses, remember a loss is a loss! Remember that it's short term pain for long term gain, remember dieting is hard, being fat is hard so choose your hard! I know which hard I have chosen and I'm loving it!

It will happen, slowly maybe but it will happen. I'm really impressed with you 100% this diet isn't easy, and that's from someone who is finding it fairly easy.

Smile people, today is another day gone, and its sunny!

(Just re read this and I sound like mr motivator on speed) lol

 

[charlieann01]

Lol that made me laugh! Lost 1lb this week. Not bad considering I ate loads of peanuts
How's ur weight loss going? Great I bet xxx

 

[Bayboy]

well done! My only thought is though, that surely the nuts will kick you out of ketosis, and thus increase your hunger and things like that?

my loss is good, just gone through the 4 stone loss in 8 weeks

 

[charlieann01]

Omg that's amazing !! U must feel incredible! I never feel hungry really and I still get good losses the week after etc. I'm thinking next week will be a 4lb loss fingers crossed!

Hiya Charlie, glad to hear you had another loss this week, how's this well going? I hope the peanuts are still in the bin?!?!

 

[charlieann01]

Lol hey!! Yup peanuts in the bin minor slip up, it's the TOTM so I'm figuring that's why I went craving mad!! Being a woman is tough!!
How are u getting on? How's your little girl? Xxxx

 

[tomnkatesmum]

Hey babe, yeah I'm having a good week thanks... Just made my little girls birthday cake and its cooking now in the oven, I just hope I can get it out of the cake tin in one piece once its cooked!

I think its my totm now too, so imagine I will have a bad loss this week... Never mind though, I'm just going to keep plodding along...

Gotta manage to not eat the cake first, or the icing as I decorate it, our the party food on Saturday! Wow, so much too avoid! Sometimes I think it would be easier to just stay in bed!

You had a good day today babe?

Xxx

Keep going... You will be losing weight what ever the scales say. This diet can be tough but you WILL fall into a routine and it gets easier. I think nothing off the diet. I'm sure you will start to loose more, but remember you will never know unless you stick to it 100%. Everyone can do this, but we all need support to get out heads in the right place

Keep going, it will happen,

Hi Bina and welcome... 16lbs in 3 weeks is amazing... i know this diet can be hard, especially when we all want to stand on the scales and see 7lbs every week, but remember sometimes it takes the body a while to catch up.... weight doesn't come off evenly every week, sometimes its low and other times high,... unless of course your Bayboy and then it just flys off, doesn't it Bayboy!!!! =0)

Join us on here, we all chat to try and help each other and stay motivated... it's certainly helped me at times when i can hear the biscuit tin calling my name from the kitchen while i'm watching the telly!!! =0)

How much weight are you hoping to lose in total?
