Right as an alternative to bottling your maintaining abiliites, think about selling membership to your gym
I love the rowing machine too.

lol, I could, my daughter has already said she will be round once she has her baby.... lol Unfortunately I had to take the multi gym down the other week, it is now sitting in our new shed, am in the process of seeing how much I can move out of the garage into the shed and may have it put up in the garage.

You know you should try to bottle that ability. You'd be a billionaire overnight. When I grow up, I want to be just like you
Ditto this comment Linda!
Your logic and control is amazing and i envy that skill!
I feel so fearful at the moment about gaining weight at my weekly weigh in's that i admit to compensating through the rest of the week ....i'm trying to break that though but its not easy after "blips" whether they are planned or not...
Your a fab inspiration hun!

Okay guys, I have decided now is the time to shed the extra stone, my head is in the right place and I cannot leave it forever, I overate big time on Sunday but only because I knew I was starting 810 today, I feel I let myself down and had put on 4lb today, what I ate wasn't even worth it. I did breakfast for our church yesterday and bought pain au chocolat and croissants and jam, plus bagels and cream cheese, ski yoghurt etc... yes I ate them all and felt full, so went back for more. Then our Assistant Pastors brought us round a box of chocolates as we have been helping run the church with them whilst our Pastors have been on holiday and we helped them out by preaching yesterday, so hence the chocolates, so I ate loads in the hope they would all go before today, but actually there are loads left and I have put them on DHs side of the bed and dont want anymore at all now. One of our dogs (a great dane) decided to help me out last night and ate all the left over croissants and pain au chocolat whilst we slept, so although I would normally be mad at her, she has done me a favour, just hope she hasn't made herself ill.
So plan.... not quite clear in my head yet, need to see how weight loss goes, but definately 810 for 2 weeks and then see where I am and I may move up to 1000, especially if weight loss is particularly slow. I have contacted my CDC today and she is going to get back to me with an appointment for this week, but meanwhile I have enough CD packs to keep me going for a week, so no problem there. I am not going without choc bars for 2 week like you are supposed to tho, I will eat them on the days I fancy them. So my weight today was 10 stone 4lb (due to carvery Saturday and bad food day yesterday), the odd 4lb is not included in my 15lb that I want to lose, I will start to track it once that is lost. So that would be 19lb including the 4lb which should come off easily. Today has started really well, I have done my slight tweaking of 810, instead of the 3rd shake I have shredded wheat and milk for breakfast.
Breakfast:- 2 shredded wheat and milk
Midmorning:- half a choc mint shake
Lunch:- Half allowance of cottage cheese, a few green leaves, half a choc mint shake made into mix a mousse and the other half as a hot chocolate
Mid Afternoon:- Half mint choc shake
Dinner:- Half quorn allowance with mushrooms and courgettes with chillis (fresh from the garden) and chilli spices.
Fingers crossed it all goes to plan.... lol I think it will be Wednesday that I start to struggle.

Can't help with changing the title of the thread, but wanted to wish you all the best for going onto 810. You always have a clear logic to your eating so am sure you will get what you want from it - you have already done so well.

Well today has gone well, have managed to stick entirely to plan, and my CDC rang me back to arrange an appointment for Wednesday late afternoon, I really hope this rogue 4lb comes off by then, but I am usually weighed in the morning, so will definately weigh more after drinking water all day. She is bringing me new supplies too, and some more mix a mousse, I just love choc mint mixamousse.... I am sure it is okay to have it every day, but might alternate a choc bar after lunch one day and then a mix a mousse the next.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments, I am kind of logical in my head, but it doesn't always happen quite that way.... like on Sunday, I knew I should stop because I was full, even said to my daughter, I am full and know I should stop eating, unfortunately I just didn't.... oh well, hopefully when I lose the extra weight I will be even more determined not to put it back on and will be stricter with my stopping eating when full...

Hi Linda, just popping by to say sorry i haven't been popping by!!
Hope you are doing ok , i see you are back on CD on 810, was wondering what made you decide to lose more lbs, i keep having similar reactions to over indulgences that tell me i should go back to 810 and lose another stone and that way if i do put on weight it'll be ok cos i'll still be where I was when i got to my original goal. and then realise what i'm saying and that it's the 'leeway' thing so then I stop myself as i can never come up with a good reason to keep dieting so i revert to eating normally and all is usually ok on the scales a lb or two up or down or whatever, but I have to keep reminding myself of this every few weeks and it gets tiresome after awhile.
so...sorry for the ramble and i might be way off ... but i just wondered if the move to 810 is anything like my kneejerk reaction to a bit of overindulgence? If not then yay you! and hope it goes really well hun...i'll shut up now..!

Hi Lelly, thanks for that, but it is definately not a kneejerk reaction to over-eating, as I know the weight comes off again without even cutting back, as it did when we went away for our anniversary etc. My goal was always 10 stone, but I always thought that I would never get there, but in the back of my mind I wanted to get to 9 stone 6 which is what I weighed for most of my teenage years before I started having children. When I got to 10 stone i was totally fed up with CD and it was screwing up my head so was glad to move on, but have felt ever since that at some point I wanted to reduce my weight slightly more, but never felt ready for it.... I now know that I am able to maintain, I know that if I put on a few lb from over indulgence it will come back off but just want to lower my weight a bit more, definately down to 9 stone 6, and possibly down to 9 stone, but will assess that once I have an idea of how quickly the weight will come off, I know I dont want to be on this diet forever, but wont be happy until I reach the 9 stone 6.... I feel I am now ready to tackle this last bit of weight.... thanks for your concerns though, I totally understand where you are coming from.

Thanks for your comments everyone...
Is going well so far, although I was really hungry this morning, am finding today a bit harder than yesterday, but I will stick with it... lol
So weight on scales yesterday was 10 stone 4.8lb due to my bad eating, but today they have dropped to 10 stone 2lb... I knew those few lbs would come off quickly.
Food today, similar to yesterday,
Breakfast - 1 boiled egg and slice of granary bread
No snack as I was at opticians
Lunch - Choc orange CD bar and 1/2 choc orange shake, 1/2 allowance of cottage cheese and a few green leaves
Afternoon snack - other half of choc orange shake
Dinner 1/2 allowance of quorn with mushrooms and courgette..
So far so good, am hoping my weight will drop a bit more tomorrow as CDC is coming and I will be weighed on her scales and I always weigh more on hers...
So Alex, you and I have nearly the same amount of weight to lose, as I want to shift 15lb and you have 17lb, hopefully we will get to goal at the same time, I am looking to 8 weeks and you to 9, so fingers crossed this will work out for us...

Fingers crossed definitely!
Are you starting 810 tomorrow - or are you pulling a breakfast from the 1000 list, having 2 CD meals and the evening meal?
I have the funeral on Friday for OH's uncle - but intending to get some bar's tomorrow so I have one to hand on Friday - or just to have water/tea whilst I am there.
I know I won't have too long before I need to start outfit shopping for the wedding, so I can't afford to mess up, and need to shift as many lbs as possible in as short a time as possible. At the wedding I won't have too much choice as to what food will be available, and do intend to be able to have the day off then, but to then get back on track again afterwards, as I really want to be maintaining for Xmas.
To have finally lost, and be maintaining 7 stone for Xmas would be...well unthinkable right now, but really...it's achievable, and I know it is - just finding that bit really x

Yes I am taking breakfast from the 1000 menu as it is 150 cals, and then cutting out a CD meal, this is what i did before and despite my CDC having misgivings about it at first, she realised that it worked for me... we sit together as a family for breakfast and evening meal, and it is hard not eating anything, and I dont want the older girls thinking you have to only drink shakes to lose weight, so I try to eat the 3 meals a day so they realise that is normal and not the shakes. I halve my evening meal allowance and have half at lunch and half at dinner.
I started 810 yesterday, but just needed to shift the extra lbs before my CDC weighed me, plus she only works Wednesdays and she comes to my house which is very handy... so I will take Monday as my official weigh in day on my scales and just let her note her official loss on my paperwork.. lol

I thought it was you who did that before - I remember it worked for someone, and works out slightly cheaper too. I love my breakfast and daftly it's something that before CD I never used to eat, so I may follow it also, as I'm not so worried about being in Ketosis this time round, just need to drop the calories back down again to speed up the weight loss again as I know I've lost my way a little bit the last few weeks, and feel I need my direction back aswell.
I had been having Special K - but I think will switch back to my Shredded Wheat as that's in the plan book.
I have no idea why but I really feel the buzz back for CD at the moment, although I'm nervous about seeing my CDC tomorrow after a fair few weeks not seeing her :S
Maybe we can keep a check on each other and try to spur each other on 'if' the times get tough. (I'm more than willing to be kicked up the behind if I go off track, as I just can't afford for that to happen now)

Please don't
It's not safe, and no CDC should be 'allowing' this. Your CDC doesn't know it's working for you, whatever the scales may say.And yeah, I know I'm a party pooper and CDC nazi and everything else. Throw tomatoes at me, call me names, do what you need, but please 3 packs if under 1000kcals.
Off soap box now
