Kay's journey to health and happiness

[coughdrops]

A STS is good!! I know why you're disappointed, but you'll smash that next week. And you had more variety this week too, which is better for you long term. Your soup gave you a wee boost last week, but realistically, long-term are you going to be happy eating soup til it's out your ears? I reckon you've levelled out a bit from that, but you're still on plan and that's the main thing. Upping the SF and keeping an eye on the carbs will definitely help, but don't end up depriving yourself on hot water with veggies floating in it.

Edited to add.... man-I sound very cross!! And I am not at all just don't want you being too hard on yourself xx

Hey, don't beat yourself up! A maintain is good - far better than a gain. You were'nt expecting much, so I'd be happy with a maintain! Come on, it's not the end of the world. Just go twice as hard this week and you'll have that award next Tuesday xx

 

[Jess<3]

Know how you feel with Sts. I hate it but look at it as Atleast that's not a gain, and you might so even better next week with a bigger loss x

 

[liquoricet]

Don't you dare give up! A maintain is good (though I was disappointed too when I had one). I think sometimes our bodies have a little rest on the way.

I went to group when I had my sts and there was one lady who only ever lost 1/2lb a week. She still had lost loads, it was just slowly coming off.

It made me realise my expectations were unrealistic. I'd been galloping along and this was a blip. (Please remind me Thurs as I was away all weekend and had two meals out!)

 

[Rae Rae]

Kay, be kind to yourself please. A sts is good when you've had 2weeks of big losses. Your body is just catching up and will start again next week. You've had chinese out this week+you said a lot more carbs than you're used to so a sts is fantastic. I understand you're gutted but if you look at the bigger picture, you'll realise you're still doing fantastically well. Keep your chin up xx

 

[Laurenypop]

Kay you've done so well don't give up. You've not let anyone down, we all have weeks like this! It's a new week now, look to the opportunities, no more looking back.

 

[daniellejwx]

Hey missy, what do you say to me? A sts is better than a gain! I've stayed the same the last 2 weeks but I really do feel like I look smaller, and people have commented that I'm shrinking! I can fully understand how gutted you must be though that you narrowly missed out on your 3 stone award

:bighug:

Keep your chin up, you'll smash it this week! xxx

 

[Cheese Thief]

Thanks everyone for all your kind words and support, but sorry to let you all down and myself, a crappy sts for me this week :cry:That's what happens when you don't eat enough superfree with all your meals ! Back to soup again from tomorrow !

I have such a good group, I was the only one that didn't lose anything this week and I missed out on getting my 3 stone award. I'm so fed up with myself, I just want to disappear . :sad0071:

You've not let anyone down hun, the 2 weeks before you lost 3lbs and 3.5lbs (if I remember correctly), so even with a STS this week 6.5lbs in 3 weeks is good going! Plus you know exactly why it happened and what you need to work on this week. We've all had those horrible disappointing weeks so I really feel for ya, but I know you're gonna kick some ass next week and smash that award! xxx

 

[babytreetrunk89]

ohhh kay hope your ok! you havent let anyone down and how much you have lost in the last few weeks is fab! sometimes our bodies need to adjust. be strong, carry on and youll get there next week!!!!!
superfree and speed are your friends this week... socialise, im going to be meeting them quite a bit this week come and join in xxx

 

[Kay003]

Thank u ladies for all your kind words, I really appreciate it . I was just gutted that I missed my 3 stone award. Been thinking about my plan of action for next week. I feel like I'm a week behind now. Will have to power on from tomorrow. I have given myself today off since I'm feeling so crappy (still SW but lot of carbs ), tomorrow will be a fresh start. Thank u all once again, I did some cooking today , going to post up todays eats with pics in a bit...

Kay, please don't think you're behind - I know it's disappointing, but you're so far ahead of all the people who are sat on their behinds talking a about losing weight. And you're disappointed about not getting your three stone award. Three stone is huge - you'd be hard pressed to lift it for long! And think of all the times this week that you made the right choices! If you hadn't made the choice to change your life you would have been up pounds!

 

[Rae Rae]

Kay can you possibly tell me the recipe for your potato and lentil soup please, sounds yummy xx

Hi Coughdrops , thank u I really appreciate your sound advice. Your right I will not deprive myself or else there will be more chances of me going off plan. However I do feel I fully enjoyed myself last week so won't mind being a bit more stricter this week, it should all balance out at the end of the month hopefully. As long as I get my 3 stone next week I will be happy. Hope you've had a good week hun.

Kay xx

Hey, don't beat yourself up! A maintain is good - far better than a gain. You were'nt expecting much, so I'd be happy with a maintain! Come on, it's not the end of the world. Just go twice as hard this week and you'll have that award next Tuesday xx

Thanks PS you know I defo will go twice as hard this week with the plan, I really want my 3 stone next week. Thanks for being so supportive. Hope your having a good week too .
