oh hun,, 3lbs off is great.. I know you wanted more because you stuck to it 100% but the closer you get to your natural healthy weight, your losses will slow down.. either that,, or next week will be a big one..

Just think,... youre in the 10's!!! wahoooo never to see the 11's ever ever ever again!... thats pretty amazing x

Yes im all better thankyou, i had a water infection and that was giving me the most horrendous stomach pains but all better now
Yes its this weekend...Date night with OH tomorrow night, cinema and a meal and then out with the girlies saturday to watch the rugby and then back to hotel get ready and out for the night Ill be honest im not even going to think about dieting, im just going to have whatever i want..a blowout before Monday Ive got a month then before my birthday which is when ill be going out next so hopefully lose like half a stone again before then!!

Hey i know its disheartening when you have a small loss, but youve done so well and YOUR IN THE 10S Thats amazing!!
Think about it like this...we basically started on the same day and at the same weight and youve lost 11lbs more than me. Thats amazing!!! When is your next WI now? I bet the next one will be a big one...keep at it girly! x

Just want to say thanks to all you girlies for your great supportive words and tips, it really does help. This forum is definitely like a life line while on this diet plan and I live reading other people's stories struggles and achievements

I have decided to do SS+ on a permanent basis now, I was absolutely scunered having only lost 3lb in 2 weeks so thought I might as well have the 200 calorie meal each day as the overall weight loss in 1 month is the same wether you follow SS or SS+. I have lost 20 lbs in 40 days which is still an amazing lose, the equivalent of 10 bags of sugar!!!!! So onwards and upwards.
4 weeks till my mini goal of 10stone.

Day 41
Breakfast - Cappuccino Shake
Lunch - Leek & Potato Soup
Diner - Cottage cheese, lettuce, Rocket & Cucumber
Supper - Malt Toffee Bar
3 black coffees, 3 teas, 3L water

Week too has been awesome. I just ve one problem, sometimes am too busy and forget to eat though am not hungry, tried keeping an alarm to remind me to eat, it's really funny cos I was a food person, I guess it also changes ones approach towards food.

Hey Nebogu
Aww glad to hear it chick. That's great though that your not feeling hungry and craving food, ketosis is working a treat for you. Burning fat!!
Well done. Let me know how you get on at your weigh in x

Hey I feel ok today, bit hungry at times and headachy but apart from that Ok thanks getting weighed again on Thursday so that's keeping me going.

Are you drinking enough water? It really helps with the headaches and hunger pangs, quite often thirst is mistaken for hunger.
Thanks I had a big bar of Scottish tablet which is pure sugar and it was the fix I had been craving all week, then later in the evening my partner got a fish supper from the chip shop and I have half a piece of fish and a handful of chips. It was amazing, then I instantly felt terrible for doing it...but 44 days with no cheats was quite good I think. Just a wee blip xx

I don't drink regularly but when I get a break I drink 750mls water so it equals to about 2l a day. I was told because I'm on the 810 I won't be in ketosis but someone on here said it depends what foods I'm choosing from the options.. so I'm wondering if I'm dipping in and out.. if that makes sense. I am in love with the mint choc shake!!

Ooh I love tablet, it's so tasty but so naughty too. you've done incredibly well and it will motivate you more to carry on I think. it's my birthday on the 23rd and I've already decided I'm going out for a meal then doing SS for the following week. breaks even I think lol xx
