Hiya Peeps,

Well my week off has flew over,
Back to work tomorrow..
We made a joint account, whoo hoo..
While we were in the abbey, we asked what deals they had on Mortgages, By chance the girl who deals with them had a free slot so we had a chat with her, I am glad we did as she offered us an extra £20,000 on a mortgage than the personal mortgage advisor.
With 1st time buyers we can get £250 towards solicitors fee's & a free survey on the house, which is good, she calculated a mortgage on what we wanted & it was a good price but by the time we took into consideration, car tax, mobile bills, car insurance, etc, we havent got alot left from our wages, but I think alot of people are in that situation arent they??

Its all exciting..

But on the downside I have had a week of eating normally so back to SS tomorrow, I have to lose this weight as I know I wanna be in a house before my birthday this yr so 6 months, wanna lose 4 stone as I wont be able to afford to be on CD when I have my own place..

So Gonna try so hard to stick to SS as much as possible, Its TOTM too so its gonna be harder than normal as I crave sugary foods when I am on my period..

So come on girls, will try & get on here every day so I need your support..

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[kelly1977]

Well not as bad as I thought I only put 2lb on

havent had a good start today, started good but had a thumping headache so I ate something small, cant be doing with a headache as mine always lead to migraines when its TOTM..

How is everyone??

 

[Wobbly71]

Hello!

Well hello everybody.here I am ...the wanderer returns:wave_cry:

Well its been a crap few months food wise and I have eaten anything and everything I have wanted to...needless to say the clothes are tighter the fat rolls are rollier and I am really getting pi$$ed off with it!...but keep stuffing my face!

BUT..the kids are back to school om tues, and I am back on cd as of monday! This week was supposed to be the new start, but its so hard over the holidays...especially to re start, and my reslove is no where near it was when I first Cd'd back in 2006, so rather than starting and failing in the first week, as we had Frankie and Bennys trip today and then a Childminding lunch at Pizza Hut on friday, it was just easier and more practicle to start a fresh on monday. I have loads of packs in and loads of water and my flavourings...so I am ready to go again!
Vic has been on days these past 2 weeks too, which in some ways has made the school holidays so much easier..ie not having to keep the kids quiet during the day and allowing me to hoover throuhg etc during the day as hes not in bed, but in others it mean I have an excuse to have a proper meal of an evening and again would have made CD harder, defo not impossible, but I guess another reason to wait till we are all back in routine.

So monday it is!
I know the weight just drops off on CD and I am very lucky that I get into Ketosis very easily and quickly, so I dont have a huge hurdle to get on the wagon(not physically ..anyway...its just the mental side of not eating thats hard!)
we have our summer hols booked for august and Vics 40th birthday weekend booked for May and I want to be able to go away feeling a whole lot better about myself...so I have got to do this!

Sorry Kel that I have been pants in the past support and diet wise, but this is the time of yr we started originally...so lets go back 2 yrs and do this 100% again!!

Well done to everyone else...I have been lurking..but a bit too embarassed to post.........

But I am back again now...so roll on monday and to looser fitting clothes again..and the scales moving away from the horrible 15st mark again!!!!

Just on our lap top at the mo as our other pc died the other day, luckily its just still under warranty...so its off to get fixed tomorrow. This one is just so slow.....it makes reading mm a nightmare!!

Well signing off now.............
hugs to all lou XX

Hiya Hun,

Glad you see you back posting again, you have been missed around here..

Right so you starting CD on Monday 100%???
I hope so hun as I need to be in friendly competition with someone on loosing weight.

I am fed up with myself, today I had a pack & 2 litres of water so I was doing fab, then went to the Hairdressers, got hair done, came home hungry, I have just had a big bowl of cereal, 2 Shortbread biscuits & 2 bourbon biscuits... WHY??? I could of just gone in the fridge for a pack..

I feel so fat but at the moment I have zero Willpower & I am sick of the sight of myself..

Hiya Babes,

Awww I am having a nightmare with food lately, its quite shocking, everytime I have put the kettle on tonight I have had a few biscuits.:break_diet:

We looked at a house last night, What a nightmare.
Its up for £140,000 but we understood it needed a bit of work, ha ha.. It needed a new fire, double glazing throughout, re-wiring the full house, a new kitchen (and extension as its tiny) a new bathroom (and extension) we asked whats the lowest he would take he said £130,000, he must be joking there is no way he would get that for it, its needs loads of work doing to it, What a waste of time..

But onwards and upwards..

[NooNoo1970]

MOrning all!

well here we are......... 48hrs and counting till starting back CD!
I spent the afternoon yesterday sorting out the food cupboards. I know what I am like if when I am on CD i suddenly find something in the cupboard that I had forgotten about and really like it will set CB off.....and cause me real problems....so I guess prevention is better than cure!
I was chatting to a friend of mine the other week, and she has been on LL for a month now, we worked together yrs ago and have both seriously Yo-yo ed over the yrs. but she is now doing fab on LL, having lost 2st in the month. I was in some ways quite jealous of the fact that she is by herself and can therefore literally empty out her cupboards of food and remove any temptation out of her house. The down side is that she doesnt have the support and encouragement of hubby/kids etc in her home. I think it defo must be easier if you can rid your house of food.....at least the only thing you have to eat then is your packs. Where as us people who have family and kids, well you have to have food in your house, and generally its just a case of mind over matter..... the food is not there for you and that you dont want it!

I have been gearing myself up for monday., and reminding myself of all the reasons why I want and need to loose weight,
as you say Kel, I hate the way I look and hate the fact that non of my nice clothes fit and I ahve to go for all the stuff that I dont really like or that I dont feel comfy in.
It just needs to become a way of life again, and to get out of the habit of eating just for the sake of it. I have been reading back over mine and Kels thread entries...way back from 2006 on DH board and they are really inspiring, so I must keep popping back there and reminding myself how good it felt to have the weight falling off me!

Anyway must go and get the boys out of the bath
Have a good day all......
Heres to monday Kel!!!!!!!!!!!
Big hugs XXXX

 

[kelly1977]

Hiyaaaaaaaaa,

I am geared up for tomorrow Lou, I'm so glad you have decided to get back on CD..

I have had a good read of our threads on DH from 2006, my god I was so focused, I didnt cheat for weeks on end, I wanna be miss willpower just like I was then, I wanna feel fab again & get compliments from people I havent seen in ages..

I will try & not let go off that feeling this time..

LET'S DO THIS LOU..

Oh I just wanted to say that you have been fantastic support to me in the past, ur a babe!!!

:thankyou:

 

[kelly1977]

Well feels like day 1 yet again, I dont know but I feel slightly different bout CD today!!

Maybe coz I know your back on CD again Lou.

I have decided it's all or nothing this time, I am sick of cheating, There is just no need.

So gonna aim for 5l a day, mind you I must drink 2.5 - 3l in tea & coffee, I am loving coffee at the moment, I have a fab mug which holds half a litre so I know where I am with my liquid intake..
I get bored of water but force myself to drink it..

How are you all????

[misscheeky]

[NooNoo1970]

Hi babe!

Thanks for the msg, you too have been wonderful support and a fantastic friend....I thank you for that.....its a wonderful friendship we have and whats strange is the fact we have never even met!!!lol

We can do this...its almost 2 yrs to the day since we started(give or take a week Lol) I am feeling very inspired and it is amazing reading our original posts....you can just feel the excitement and elation of the losses each week.....we were so focused and we can be again!
I read through Clares blog (time4me) earlier, and she is so focused and nothing is going to get in her way to her goal weight! Shes amazing!!! and a real inspiration, even more so as its not her first 'golden' time!

Have had a good day, havent even worried about food let alone crave it. I had banana shake, tom soup and choc muffin. 6 black coffees 3 pints fizzy water and flavour and 2 litres of plain water!.....so good going me thinks!

Well I know this is really stupid and sounds sooo far fetched, but I was freezing just now and I know the real ketosis cold, anyway went and tested for Ketosis and there it was bright as anything....I am in bloody Ketosis, and I ony started this morning! the last thing I ate was a Splendips thingy at about 10pm last night...and here I am in Ketosis!!!!!

Amazing!!!!!

I just need to stick to this now and the weight will drop off...I just know it will.....so Kel.....lets just focus, drink water, focus....and drink even more water!!!!
Day one is over...lets just take it one day, or one hr or minute if necessary and we will get there honey!:girlpower:

Love ya hon and thanks for always being there to pull me back onto the wagon!!!..lets ride this one out together!:sign0168:

Well Day 1 nearly over, Thank god, I hate the first 3 days, I normally get a headache in the first few days, today I have been fine so I am expecting one tomorrow, Hope I dont know!

Eeehhhh Well Done You for getting into Ketosis, I know its so easy for you to slip into K, but 12hrs, , lol..

Well I have managed 5litres which is my aim, I am gonna have to get some Dr Pepper Zero as I love that & I will look forward to a can a day, Am I allowed a can a day??

Claire (time4me) is doing bloody brill, cant believe she is a stone from her goal, she is a fab example of what CD can do if you stick to it, just wish I did instead of wasting all these weeks cheating.

So heres to Day 2 Chick, Eehh 2 yrs ago & we were so focused, well we are gonna do that all over again,
Yeah it is weird the fact we havent met but our friendship is so strong & supportive, YOUR A DIAMOND..

Hi everyone, I feel like I have been away ages!! Its been very busy at work with Year End Accounts, but hopefully now I'll have time to pop on at lunch - hurray!!Lou - welcome back and glad you are doing well getting back into it. I hope you will spur Kel on to stick to it!!Kel - keep up the good work. I read in a thread somewhere about making a date for a target rather than a general 'in 6 months'. Maybe you should set a date in a few months time and have that as the date you want to lose your weight by. Hopefully it will help focus the mind a bit more. I really hope having Lou back will help you. I know its been tough over the past few weeks for you.Well done on all the losses recently, everyone is doing well. I lost 6lb last week getting back into it, so now I think I have 19lb to go, and have dropped into the 11s. This week I have felt the need for food, so a couple of days I have added a bit of quorn to soup so I feel like I have had something. I have set the end of May as the date I want to be at my goal, I get weighed on Thursdays, so I guess that 29 May is the day!!! That gives me 7 weeks - I'm hoping that is achievable as my CDC has told me I have another 8lb or so to go before I start moving up to eating. I have a couple of potential blips as have a Hen night and a wedding do to go to, but I will decide how to deal with them nearer the time. I went in the loft at the weekend (to finally put my christmas decorations away!!!) and found 3 bags of size 12 and 14 clothes. So, I am going to have a look through and see if there is anything in a 14 that fits me yet. Well, have a good day everyone and I will try and pop on more to see how everyone is getting on.

 

[Bobbin]

Not sure why I end up with no spaces between paragraphs even though they are there when I type - sorry!!

 

[kelly1977]

Bobbin, You are doing Fab, what a brill weight loss you had again..

How much water is that daily?

Well I dont feel hungry today, Bit pi**ed of with me going on the scales this morning & only lost 1 measly pound, thats crap.

Anyway onward & upward..

Well done Lou, your doing fab.. xx

 

[NooNoo1970]

EVENING ALL!!!

Hope you have all had a good day, here we are Kel nearing the end of Day 3!!! Yeah!!!
I had a moment today when I could have eaten, I mean only a bit of ham or something, but I know its the rocky road to ruin, so I decided not to eat and made myself a long cool banana shake with loads of crushed ice...and it hit the spot just fine!!
:tear_drop::tear_drop::tear_drop::tear_drop:been a bit slow on the water front today, but only cos I have been out all day, at toddlers,shopping, lunch with the kids then off for a walk at the lakes...........none of them any good for needing a wee!!! Have drunk alot since I have been home, so hope to catch up with it all later. Took 2 of the kids I mind for off to ASDA for lunch today, they chose a sandwich box each and a bowl of chips to share. Yes they looked nice, but it really wasnt a big effort not to eat them, I had a bottle of fizzy water and was 100% fine!
Texted my cdc ealier, to let her know I was back on the programme, i have 2 weeks supplies here but will need to go and get more on the 21s april. Was glad I did it, cos even though I have been 100% ss-ing, I had a thought yesterday that I would text her a bit nearer the time,just in case I fell off the wagon! But then I realised today, that was just giving myself the opportunity to fail ...and I really am not going to do that this time. I am 100% focused and in some ways more able to succeed than I was the first time, as I know the pros and cons of CD.....but I also know the fab results that are there for the taking....and if I stick to it I can soooooooooo get there!!
Anyways, chat later all you wonderful people......must go and get the boys in the bath!
Hugs Lou X
