As Kay says ur honesty is refreshing!! Having done the challenge for 5 days - I'd say it's tough - esp the water intake for me!! But I found going back to the std SW plan felt so much easier and lots more freedom - which is why Kay recommends doing it for only a week I guess- hope u find the same when u go back to the usual SW regime next week - good luckx

I agree with Kay - u deserve a great loss - and I just don't know how u can get 3L water down each day - if that was me I'd be locked in the loo except when I was cooking, eating and shopping for my food - well done Von!!

I've been aiming for 3L, for quite a while now I found an app on my phone that calculates how much your body needs according to weight etc, and it sends me reminders to drink, you grow a plant and if you don't drink it shows your plant thirsty and dying , it sounds crazy but it makes you want to drink I've got quite attached to my plants, I had grown 4 and then the app crashed and it wouldn't reset for the next day kept saying I'd drank my 3L, had to delete and start again I was gutted , lol,
In on my 3rd plant up to now ,

I just posted to Bev that I hope I hav a good loss tomorrow, I feel like I've lost my jeans are lose and my belt is now on the last hole, but I've had inch loss before and it hadn't shown on the scales so I'm feeling nervous as always ,

Have a great day Linda xxx

well loose clothes are a good sign - sometimes I place too much emphasis on what the scales say - cos I just really want to look slimmer - and I focus too much on the numbers - know they're connected - but I'd celebrate what ur belt is showing u!! Hope weather is good with u and u have a good day!

Managed to snack on lots of gherkins, beetroot and pickled onions today. Just one more day to go, we can do this!

 

[Cheese Thief]

Von - I really hope you get a great loss tomorrow. The fact you've gone down a belt hole is a great sign, even if you haven't lost tomorrow (and I'm sure you will!!) it means you're looking physically smaller and in the end its what we look like in the mirror that really matters more than a number on a scale! Good luck!!

Penultimate day of the soup challenge all complete!! Gotta say I'm getting sick of the sight of soup now, but like Von I feel like I've lost since last week which is awesome. One more day to go and then I'm gonna murder a jacket spud!! xxx

Well done - know what u mean - I only did 4 days and felt I could never eat soup again - but lost 2.2lbs so well worth it and u shd lose a lot more over 7 days - and I wasn't as well behaved as u - R-e-s-p-e-c-t for taking the pasta out -lol! Good luck!
