Friday and Saturday were complete write offs but I've moved my son into his own home and I'm now engaged. The trade off is worth it!
Back on it today, we'll see if I can limit the damage done. I've got till Friday for weigh in, hopefully still be able to achieve a loss.
Good luck ladies. X

Congratulation Anne! What a reason to celebrate. Dont worry about writting off this weekend: I dont know a single person who would't do what you just did! Diet is something which has to suit you.
Now, you're going to be fine. Remember that next few days might be a struggle until you are firmly back in ketosis. It will be quicker than at the start though. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Don't worry abt the scales next fee days, your body will be a little confused and that will show. Recognise this might be vulnerable time as ppl are most likely to give up this diet at that point. You're hungry, scale doesn't move, you start question is this is a diet for you. Whatever you experience DON'T GIVE UP! Keep going. You'll be flying through weeks soon
Besides, if you put this in perspective it's not such a high price to pat for enjoying such a special memorable weekend. Now more than ever you'll find yourself commited to achieving your goal!
Above all: big congratulations to soon bride to be x

I'm starting week 2. I must admit it was relatively easier than expected. Dont get me wrong: there were wobbly moments, there were times when I was hungry and it was a battle: my mind against my body. But I prepared myself for a bumpy ride and I didn't have a single doubt once that what I do is the way to achieve what I really really want. Beside I put into perspective those 12 weeks ahead and weighted it against realistic benefits I'm bound to achieve. This kept me going. Being visual person I use number of tools. I printed 50 stars and put them on the fridge. It shows 7 weeks ahed and I can cross each star for every 100% day. I wouldnt want to leave single star uncrossed. I created my own spread sheet with an average weight loss calculation 1lbs every other day to actually see where this journey takes me and to be able to calculate my goal weight. This will come handy for slower weeks...because what really matter is an outcome. After whoopping 9lbs loss in the first week I know that following loses simply can't match it - it's a common sense. That's why this week I think I wont lose more than 3lbs - it's physically impossible without adding additional excercises. 3lbs I aim for and that's what I will be very happy with.
The biggest test this week was my little boy's second Bday. Big party, plenty of food: preparation and hosting, alcohol and Paul's Bakery special ocasion cakes. It wasn't easy. I put my hands up: it was a very difficult test for my will power. But I told myself that this is my choice to be 100% - no one forces me to obstain. I gave myself a choice: I could have blown it completely or keep going uninterrupted. I compared the benefits of both options and thought of having to go through difficult next few days to get back in the zone had put me right off. I could chose differently but I was aware that consequences will be much greater than an immediate food satisfaction. Making informed choices gives me power to control my urges. I survived it and I feel even more determined than ever!
Week 2 day 7! Good luck to you all xx

Thankyou for the good wishes, im on cloud nine at the mo and have managed to stay on plan today. Worried about next weekend as I have a family meal on the Friday and a wedding on the Saturday. I was planning to stay on plan at the wedding but the family meal out is more problematic, also if I eat and kick myself out of ketosis I'm more likely to let it roll over into the Saturday.
This whole social thing is a complete pain. I just need a good run with nothing happening!!

Well, it sounds you need plan B then: damage limitation. There is no point beating yourself up over smthg you have no or very little influence over...Decide you will enjoy the meal, stick to proteins as much as possible. This way you'll feel in control so you are less likely to have a fully blown blip.

I was freezing this morning. I'd done a night shift and had literally 2 hours sleep and actually woke up as my feet were like blocks of ice. I had to put bed socks on. Lol. End of day 2 for me and I'm off to work to burn a few calories. Keep going, you're doing great.

Hello ladies! I also have cold moments - on & off. I guess it's one of these things u have to put up with while you're on VLCD.
Day 9 for me. Very awkward day. On the diet front back to my usual routine: shakes at even intervals throught the day. I'm yet to have my last one. Although I had plenty energy this morning, by noon I developed a terrible headache which I couldn't shake off for the rest of the day. It was so bad that I almost felt sick at times. I probably should have taken some pain killers but really so spooked to jinx CD I didn't. Updated my frozen supplies of boiled prawns and some cans of tuna -for those late evenings emergency moments.
All in all, if it wasn't for the headache I would say it was a good day. Day 10 tomorrow - bring it on!
Hope you all had a good day xxx

right I have decided I will be having per day:
*2 x cd products
*SS+ meal or 1x additional cd product or BOTH (only if I'm on a desperate day)
*3/4 pint (425ml) skim milk or low fat yog
*3l water (not including shake water)
*Coffee where required
*1 can of pepsi max
*Very low kcal water
*Cambridge drink flavouring (Summer Berry)
So really a bit of a miss mash,but will be effective I'm sure! If all fails I will cancel all my upcoming events and ss it.Am feeling good!!

Welcome Willpowerwoman! I love the name! I'm serial P*interest pinner so I pin everything I find. I'll send u a link to the website later.
Now, day 10 for me. Looking good as I woke up with so much energy!
But... I sinned lasted night. Yep, I did. All was going according to plan until I decided to have one pistachio. One turned into two. Two turned into 5...then something came over me and I had all 53! I know as I counted them after...It's always been like that for me: it's all or nothing. I checked their nutritional value and it looks I might be 30g of carbs over what's required to remain in ketosis. Now there are two things to address: additional calories as pistachio arr very high in those. Plus, I recognise I might need to be on the verge of coming out of ketosis so I'm expecting pretty rough ride today. So for the first point: given my energy levels continue I will go for a run aftrr work. Nothing strenuous: 20 mins to raise my blood pressure or if I no longer feel so perky I'll go for a long walk. Second bit - there is nothing I can do abt it apart from sticking to CD 100% and whatever comes my way in the meantime I only have myself to blame...
Self control is something I have to work on in longer run and this is smthg I need to focus while in maintenance steps.
Downwards and onwards! We can do it!

It's not totally bad news, at least nuts are protein, could have been full on chips and battered sausage followed by a family bag of walkers sensations with a bag of haribos on the side!
Point being, if you're going to fall of the wagon I think you had a pretty soft landing there.
Today's a new day.
I'm still desperately trying to shift the bloat from my two evenings over the weekend, the scales are moving in the right direction but it's slow.

Reading this has given me the biggest boost. I went to see my consultant yesterday so am counting today as day 1. I was 11st 5lb last night. How long does it take to get into keytosis (average - I realize everyone is different). I am on Step 2. I am hoping to get down to 9stone and would love to be there by xmas. I have done CWP before but never lasted more than a few days, I think this is because I give in to my cravings so easily. I am so determined this time. I am already planning ahead. I have a meal out for my friends bday on Saturday so Im checking the menu. If all else fails Ill request a GREEN coloured salad with plain chicken and no dressing, who cares what I "look" like. lol xxx I love this post and will keep coming back xx
