Angel-you're amazing,I fell off the Slim and Save wagon for a few days but you're determination is infectious....I'm back and ready to lose these pounds once and for all. Fantastic job on your 1st week x
Christmas? Oh man, I don't know! I restarted on 3rd October then had to have a family dinner on the 13th - it took me seven hellacious days to get back onto SS and into Ketosis. Count 'em: SEVEN!!! .. And it's not like I went hog wild, I had no overt carbs (potatoe/rice etc), just protein and vegetables - I'm really dreading Christmas dinner and all the events. I'll discuss it with my CWPC when I see him on the 4th ... I'm thinking Protein and veg on Christmas Day? But I can't think of any veg that won't kick my butt out of ketosis ... What're your plans? We need to prepare, right? And have strategies in place? As for all the 'Do's I won't be eating or drinking .... I love my friends and colleagues, but I love me more hahaha x
The only day i'm going to cheat is Xmas day and it won't be anything too crazy.. A load of veg and some protein.. One day off out of 9 weeks won't be too crazy and I know i'll jump back into it because my holiday will be so soon after.. Have any of you dolls tried a frozen tetra? Does it taste like ice cream? lol..
Just feel so full vita, does the shakes make u feel Like this? Ive had 2 today and loads of water, just was expecting to feel hungry as only on day 2 xx
Good luck Angel! You can do it! I reached goal over a year ago. I was 15st 3 in May 2011 and lost a bit and then turned to CD in June 2012. I reached target and have stayed at 9 st 5 ish ever since - so maintenance is possible! I didn't go up the steps but I devised my own way of doing things and stick to that to the day. Happy to divulge what I do if it would give you more ideas for long term maintenance
Im just getting as much water in as i can lol ive only had like 9 glasses or so? Weeing loads though weeing neva felt so good i see it as letting the fat escape so dont hold it in lol, eitha way im thinkin feeling full is a good thing! Lol didnt think id feel this ok i will prob have a rubbish day tomoro and be starvin xx
Oh my lord helllllllo GetaGrip, so pleased to see another familiar face and extra pleased your doing so well ! You've come at just the right time as someone was asking the other day if anyone ever maintains x x x
Angel and Gretagrip-have to say that as a long time stalker it's great to see the no nonsense,straight talkers with experience still coming on here to help those of us who need either a bit of encouragement or a stern talking to -whichever the case may be.!!!
I have watched both your progresses and now looking forward to finally doing this,step by step.I want to be skinny more than I want to be fat-that's the bottom line....
Thanks for sharing your stories.
That's fab
I seriously wish I didn't have so many breaks booked but hotels are paid for and ferry etc so no getting out of it for me.
Xmas day I will be super strict as my hubby and kids understand more than my friends plus my goal is for NYE so I will need to be super good after my breaks.
I've not tried the ice cream but I'm lucky that I like all of the products x x x
What's your target Lainey? Hello as well : ) I still post from time to time - not too often but where I feel I can give advice ( it's usually ignored because a lot of folk don't like facts , they prefer hair strokes when they've fallen face first into a pile of cakes, heh heh ) You seem determined Angel. I truly believe that losing the weight is the easy bit in comparison to keeping it off. As soon as i accepted that id always have to be vigilant around food and could never return to my old habits it got a little easier. I am super strict during the week and I eat what I fancy on Saturdays. And that's it. Another motivator is clothes. I own an absolutely embarrassing amount of size 8 and 10s and i worked so hard to get there that I can't contemplate not fitting in them! Also as soon as an item of clothing became too big for me I charity shopped it. Anyway here to follow you all : )
I'm doing s&s for the second time and your journey and motivation is so inspiring so I'm subscribing xx
