Evening girlies

Had my weigh in tonight. I lost 4.5lbs. I'm not sure whether to be happy about it or a bit gutted. After I'd been weighed a lady in my class asked how I'd done and I told her, and she said ''ohhh I expected you to lose at least 10lb or something.

It kind of made me feel a bit deflated, as though I should have done better. :cry:


Anyway how are all of you? I've had a crappy day, the kids hamster has developed a tumour so had it at the vets and theres not much they can do for it. They wont operate as the anesthetic would just kill it anyway - so the kids have been uber upset.

My nan was also taken into hospital with pneumonia - right now I could kill for something to eat ''to cheer myself up''....but I'm not going to give in.

Sorry for waffling on lol

ah bless you lisa , 4.5lb is fantastic !!! youve lost masses in just 2 weeks , but i have to say lb envy is the devils work i suffer greatly from it (blush)
im sorry youre day is going poorly but you should be super proud of yourself for resisting , have a lovely bath with some music and candles , spend some time being good to yourself , you really sound like you need it hunnie , so go on .. treat yourself, and if youre like me youll feel a little warmer in the bath !;o)

Hey ladies and gent (s?)

Welcome to all the new peeps coming onto this board - great to see everyone posting.

Jez - DR situation a nightmare but my LLC is also trying to find someone!

She has put me on a diet for a week to get me started and make me feel "part of the group" she has give me some hints and tips of things to cut out completely etc.. So I am feeling better.

Good luck Thursday Weighers!

Kat

Ps: Jez am on FB - Katie Godden

Hey Maybelles

Lisa - well done on the loss, that is great, my LLC was telling me that the weight averages out to about 3lbs a week, so you are way ahead of the game I agree with you about the nice hot bath Sukie, I adore lying in the bath anyway, and I find they really help. Today has been chilly in London, which isn't helping either, so I have taken to popping the electric blanket back on just before I get into bed to warm up my popsicle toes!!! Kat - being on some kind of diet the week before really helps. 2 weeks before I started LL I cut out all carbs and really cut my calories, I found it helped me get into ketosis much faster and have much fewer side effects. I am so glad you went along to the meeting anyway - half of this diet is state of mind, and you so obviously have the right mindset. Apart from that my lovelies, the day is ending on a much happier note than it started, have just had my final pack and I reckon its time for bed soon. Hahaha, btw Sukie, I pretend the St Clements mix with a bit of soda is a gin and bitter lemon makes it feel slightly more exciting than just the water.

Love ya madly "getting skinny" guys and girls

Hows things me lovelies? all going well i hope. 4.5lb is brill, Id have reminded her that Is already lost a stone in a week, which evens out at over 9lb a week! is she deluded? did she perhaps not lose as much as she wanted so she wanted to make other people feel a bit crappy.

[sukie sue]

yup , birthday celebrations at my sisters house , missed my hubbie though x
off to the lake to sunbathe and chill again today :0)woo hoo

 

[Jezebella]

Yay!! there is life out there after all, I was starting to feel all alone. Ha, I really should still be asleep, this is way to early to be awake on a weekend, but since starting LL I can't seem to sleep in as much anymore. Day by the Lake sounds divine, My folks are not far from there, so I am absolutely planning a trip to the lake when I visit them in August. I think today I really need to have a small sort out of the clothes cupboard... and then have a little sit in the sunshine. The one thing I dislike about living in a flat is that its a communal garden, and I still feel a bit embarrassed to go and sit out there alone. Still perhaps a walk to the park will do instead! How was the party Sukie, did you get through on all your packs?

[sukie sue]

god im soooo embarrased , i didnt have any at all yesterday !!! im so ashamed of myself , there has been hell on with work so ive been a bit of a wreck so have lost my appetite completely , my sister hijacked me and told me there was no way i was spendind my birthday on my own sobbing like a snot nosed kid(older sister , takes no cr*p). she had got me a special treat for my allowable meal and put on a bbq for us all , must admit i hoovered it up , *legal*has never tasted so good
must admit im quite tempteg to jack off light , even though its working so well and go on abstinence, hubbies gone now so sharing a meal at night is redundant, im never hungry in ketosis , especially when im upset so cooking is just a pain in the jacksie really .
will have to ponder it some more. the only thing is that its easier to get back to "normal" eating from light. hmmmm dont know , anyway , hows you ?

 

[Jezebella]

Im fantastic hun, glad to hear that legal tasted amazing!! Being a chef I was really concerned about the fact that I 1) wouldnt like the food pack flavours or would find them dull and 2) there wouldn't be enough variety to keep me happy.

Glad to say I like all the packs, though def have a few faves. I did "cook" with one of the packs yesterday and the day before and was really impressed. Hahaha perhaps when I get to goal and maintain, I should write a LL recipe book for those of us on maintenance!!! Where has hubbie gone too? I agree, cooking for 1 is pants, I can never manage, no matter how hard I try to cook for 1 or 2 it always ends up being enough to feed at least 6. But then I suppose the minimum numbers I cook for are 100 and the max 5000 so Its hard reducing that <G> Still RTM is going to be my time to learn about cooking small!!! Can't believe I am 3 weeks in already. Have you got a specific goal weight in mind btw? I had what I thought was my goal weight in mind but now think perhaps I should go lower, does this seem to fluctuate? I suppose I will see how my body feels and if I am comfortable in it when I get to the original goal weight.
