This time its personal!!
Thanks hun, I have to admit that its really helping me along right now. Seeing something change is a great way to getting through the first few naff days where the pocuhes taste yak cause you aren't in ketosis yet..... I have to admit that I did not expect to see it dropping this fast this time around though! (NOT that I am complaining!!).
You are doing fab having lost 3 stones - I am with you completely on the not seeing it though. I was really suprised when peeps at work mentioned it yesterday - even my boss did and he is NOT one to say something like that! I can't see or feel much change, but then a majority of my clothes have been elasticated for a good long while! I am happy to take their word for it though! Its right too, I bet you wouldn't have skated 3 stones ago!
Keep it up lady - you don't realise what a huge inspiration you are xx

Oh that will be a nice surprise for them when you do go out
I kept the largest pair of my works trousers and top. That was the only items of big stuff I kept. I guess I just wanted to be able to do the classic picture of ne wearing a size 24 trousers when im a 14 to see how far I have come.
Do you have a pair of your bigger trousers to try on to see the difference ?
I've kept a pair of size 26 black work pants that I used to wear, that was last summer though and I had lost weight before starting on Exante this time - can't wait to be small and put them on

I just pray it carries on!! Still at a loss re ketosis though
If you were a size 26 last summer its no wonder you are feeling great now! I have only ever made it to a 24/26 in trousers and 26/28 top, but I know how hard it can be to buy clothes in those sizes on the high st unless you go in Evans, or Evans, or hang on, there is always Evans! lol
Keep it up chuck -I promise you its not just me you are inspiring!! :hug:

How do you know you're not in ketosis? I don't find any change in the taste of the packs whether I'm in it or not! Also I don't trust the pee sticks, to be honest I don't trust pregnancy pee sticks either lol xx

That sounds dubious! lol My ketasticks are still beige but weren't before when testing. Your tastes do change slightly in ketosis - I found that when I was pregnant too as I spent most of my pregnancy dehydrated in hospital being stuck on drips to rehydrate me and piddling on ketasticks there (all be it on a commode as the ******* wouldn't let me go to the proper loo!). Its not a huge amount but your sweet and salty taste buds are affected. I currently find the double choc bars salty as owt and the plain porridge is swweter than normal, when I go back into ketosis they taste normal! lol
My dad is currently ill and not eating so I gave my mum some exante to get some decent nutrients into him, she said they tasted vile yet he thought them ok - same reason! At least my double choc bars have come to some use this week! lol

Oh thank you that means a lot xx It's even nicer because I'm so inspired by people on here on a daily basis, those that lose lots, those that struggle and persevere nonetheless, those who are at the beginning of their journey with it - I take inspiration from them all and I know that I couldn't do this without all the friendship and support I get xx
Btw you're doing fab, well done xx

Hurray home and food lol - worked from 8am - 9pm including travel, couldn't get the kettle on quick enough for my spag bol though in my excitement I've overdone it with the seasoning, tis a bit chilli
Work today has been great, had a brilliant day, one highlight being that I've gone down a size in my high viz jackets! I had a large one to wear with my hard hat when I go on site (building site)!and it never fastened and that made me self conscious, as though being my size in a high viz wasn't enough to make you self conscious! Anyway at an event in January I sneaked an extra jacket in xl and I've been wearing that - today when I got to site I put it on and it was really big so I got the large out of my boot and it fitted and fastened whoohoo I felt bloody fab in my totally unfashionable jacket & hard hat walking on site
Session this evening was wonderful, the people we are doing the building for (different one to this morning so no bright yellow to be seen) loved the plans and the 3d drawings that the interior designer has developed so I came away happy.
Tomorrow is another long day as I'm in Morecambe in the morning, then Haslingden then it's off I go for a skating lesson before the works evening out on the roller rink - hopefully I'll be back in one piece! Will def miss my skating buddy TH though and am very much looking forward to our next session xx
