Is the second time harder?

[Flare]

Well a measly 2lb loss I know it's a loss but even so it's disheartening when you've deprived yourself all week and don't get rewarded for it.

The CDC had to use different scales today so I am hoping the normal scales are back next week and that will be a truer reading - I'll hang on yo anything at this stage lol!

Yeah its very disheartening, , but stick at it and stay strong

I just can't seem to get in the rhythm and it's really frustrating me Trying to keep busy, drinking my water etc, I'm even doing cardio in the gym to boost me mentally and physically. I have got to shift this stone in weight I hate the way I'm feeling right now .........anyone got any tips please??????

 

[night-owl]

Calm down! You are doing everything right. Every sip of water takes you closer to your goal! It will happen.

Night owl - it's all about what's going on in my head I just can't seem to get in the swing of it. Im really trying but I can't seem to get passed feeling hungry all the time. Don't know why.

I'm desperate to be successful this time but it's not just about the diet, it's about how I keep the blasted weight off this time because I hate the way I feel when I put weight back on. I need some therapy lol!!

How are you doing?

 

[Flare]

Weigh in tomorrow ......I really hope it's a good one, I need a boost. It's been very hard so far and I don't feel like I'm making progress but a loss tomorrow would help me stay positive

hubby is out tonight and it's when I'm on my own that I get tempted to drink a glass of wine .....must stay strong lol!!

Hope everyone's having a good week

hubby is out tonight and it's when I'm on my own that I get tempted to drink a glass of wine .....must stay strong lol!!

Funny, I'm the complete opposite....would never want a drink if I was on my own, don't see the point, would just make a nice cup of coffee. I'm only really tempted when I'm in a pub or restaurant.

Just back from nearly a whole month down south, staying with my mum, so diet's been all over the place. Back on it today, been drinking water.

2lb loss....not great for 2 weeks but it's better than a gain

 

[night-owl]

Much, much better! In fact, 2lbs is a blimmin' good lost for second time round! Realistically, 3lbs is the max per week after you have been dieting for some time so well done!

Thanks Hun I've been to the gym again this morning and done 40 mins of cardio.

I know it's going to be slower this time but I am pleased that I'm heading down the 10s finally. I'm going back onto 2 shakes and a bar this next week to see if that helps shift it. I can't eat the bars for too long cos they upset my natural equilibrium if you know what I mean !

hows it going being back on it ?

 

[night-owl]

Trying to get the water down but it's hard to stick at it. Have to make a concerted effort to remind myself. But worth it I reckon.

 

[Flare]

I'm absolutely gutted......I've put 1lb on God knows how
totally demoralised
doing step2 and drinking more than my required water consumption
need to decide whether to carry on putting myself through this

 

[night-owl]

I managed to lose a whole 1lb in 3 weeks, woo! I don't know if there is another way, Flare, but I suppose a diet you can live with would be better. I know what it is like to put your heart into a vlcd only to gain, awful, but there will be a water gain anyway if you switch diet now. It's up to you whether to stick with it for the short-term or take the hit and switch to a diet with more food?

 

[Flare]

its a long slow road this time and i am feeling really frustrated by it
I am getting weighed on thursday morning, and i am dreading it the weekend wasnt great diet wise, but i did chose a dry chicken dish when out with friends on saturday night to limit the damage.
I had a good day yesterday and today is going well so far........ so fingers crossed.
i just seem to be stuck at this weight and with 6 and half weeks until my holiday i am starting to feel panicked
Trying to remind myself its got to be one day at a time
how's it going Night Owl?

 

[Flare]

I'm still here slogging it out !
Weigh in tomorrow. I've worked really hard this week and I definitely feel like I've lost something
its still very hard if I'm honest, it seemed much easier the first time
fingers crossed for 8am tomorrow
hows it going Night-owl?

 

[night-owl]

Not great, 2lbs on, 1lb off! Birthday weekend, then I am SS-ing 100% for 3 weeks, with no nonsense. Decided I'm bored with the 12's now (been here for 9 months) and want to see the 11's.

 

[Flare]

Good for you
I've lost 2lbs this week which has really boosted me. It's been a very hard week with work and I nearly caved in a few times but I'm glad I stuck at it.
still feels a long way to go and I've only got myself to blame because I reached 10st 1lb at Christmas and lost the plot. I need to have a strategy for keeping the weight off - ????? I'll figure that out when I get there
Have a fabulous birthday weekend Hun and get on it on Monday !

 

[night-owl]

It happens. A few years ago I saw 10 stone 2lbs, my lowest weight ever, for about a week, then went straight up to 10 10lbs and couldn't get back down again.
Oh to be back even at 10 10lbs now!

 

[purpleflower]

Hi night owl and flare. I have hit rock bottom after a tough six months and gained over 3 stone .....I am totally MORTIFIED. See my new thread labeled oh my god ! Help

 

[RudaAli]
