You're all so lovely. Feel a bit better today, snuggled up in duvet on daybed in front of log fire, working on laptop... could get used to this! Just so tired, but then i can just curl up if I need to sleep. Appetite has not been great the last few days, so that is something...
Will be back on form soon, promise.
Hope everyone is staying warm & safe & well.

OK, update... feeling a little bit better today. This morning on impulse texted CDC to see if she could see me next week as snow/ice seemed to be thawing at last. She texted back to say she was in the area & could call over, & upshot is I now have 2 weeks supplies of CD and no excuses left... so starting 810 tomorrow.
Feel quite scared as it's so long since I did 810 last, but so want to get this weight thing sorted and more importantly, keep it sorted. I will do my best. So... till tomorrow.

Hi Katy, just trying to catch up a bit, but not had chance to check up on the last 3-4wks so hope you have been ok. Sorry to hear you have been poorly, hope its continued to clear up. Good luck on 810, guess i'll probably be joining you soon once i get to bmi25. Thinking about it, i actually quite liked 810, i guess the regimented and strict nature of the plan makes it less open to my faulty 'interpretation' of what i can have. But i guess therein lies the problem......

First pack down, a porridge... had forgotten how small that bowlful is. And no 0% yog or berries allowed! Boo. Sipping herb tea now and trying to decide between hot choc shake or coffee with a CD bar for lunch. It's snowing heavily again here, and school buses cancelled, so daughter as well as ill son are home today.
Hope everyone who is trying 810 or SS is doing well... send me some motivation, please, until Ketosis kicks in. If it does.

Hey Katy!!
So - back to 810 for you too? Cool why not ?
Well it's day 4 for me and FINALLY in Ketosis - woohoo
My motivation for you is this - firstly you know once in it, the lbs will come off much easier, but more so the hunger will go (it's just the 'wants' we have to deal with) Today I woke up by Alex shouting from his bed lol, came down, made his b'fast (won't tell you what it was ;-) ) then had glass of water, put some washing on, changed Alex, cleaned the living room etc, and about 10 mins ago suddenly thought 'have I had a shake today??' took me a good minute or two to debate this, and had to count what I have left to decide that actually no I haven't, so have had my first choc-mint shake of the day - yumm...now that IS ketosis kicking in fab!
Makes the day sooo much easier once it does kick in
Have a fabulous day - you CAN do this Katy - you can x

xAin't it just?! Claire's comments are brilliant and helpful to me too.
I have to say I haven't been hungry at all, don't know why, don't want to think about it/go there, just want to do it/have it done and over with.....I remember last time that even though I was in ketosis I sometimes still was very hungry, I checked in my diary and this was the case. Odd?
I just can't drink all the water in this weather so am drinking rooibosh tea instead, always black. My mug holds half a pint, so I figure that's alright? Do you think?
Snowed in yesterday again, it snowed all day....OH went with DD3 at 6am to the main road (hospital shift) and walked back 4 miles along the lanes. DD1 got to work ok later and I've just taken DD4 into school, but getting back up our hill was impossible. Slid gracefully into a bank so have left it at the bottom and walked.
I'm fed up of this now, just normal living takes so long.......getting logs, coal, lugging water from the house for the animals, the feeding round slithering on ice...... YUK!! Just today I really fancy a double glazed, well insulated house in the town where I can press a button to keep warm and walk to get food! (moan moan, whinge whinge.....
).Glad you are feeling a bit better.....son too? xxxx

Thanks, AlexM & Bess... have just had my bar, cranberry. I am nowhere near the stage of not being hungry yet, in fact like Bess I was often a bit hungry on SS, definitely at the start and began to have 4 packs a day on those days. My CDC said I could choose 3 or 4 as I was 5'8" but some days boy did I need that 4th pack. Today to be honest it is more about stepping away from the food, telling my head I cannot just have a shape yog or a slice of ryebread or whatever. Even so, I barely lasted out till 12 to have my coffee & bar!
AlexM, you are inspiring and your positive attitude has been a real help since New Year. You are just quietly getting on with it as you always do, and I admire that hugely.
Bess, you seem to have settled in so well... yay! If all of us can get a focus and get to our respective goals... then we can work from there. We CAN do it. Please stay safe, it sounds lethal where you are. Am glad kids are home, and won't rest until OH comes in safely, he has called to tell me he is OK but has fallen over badly twice - this new snowfall is masking the ice sheets. He also told me not to try and drive - didn't need to say that twice. Am glad I saw mum last night as I know she has food & fuel, but her patience is wearing thin if this morning's phone call is anything to go by.
So. Late afternoon I will have my quorn stir-fry meal, I used to love that... something to look forward to. And then a hot choc to look forward to later.
Bess, all my water is drunk in herb tea form, & always has been. I think Rooibos is fine. In weather like this I can't believe anyone can drink cold water! Sigh. Soooooo long till teatime....

Ah Katy, stick at it hon! You know it gets results and have that joy of watching those scales go down daily (i know you're not meant to look but I used to bound out of bed and hurl myself on them after having a widdle). You have done it before and will do it again. I have just posted on Bess' diary about this whole dieting/maintenance thing being a work in progress. You also (like me) are still in a better place than you were last year this time weightwise so things can only improve on that
Sorry to read about the poorliness in your household, hope all on the mend now x

Yay Sleepy!!!
Have missed you, hun. Was worried that you would be run off your feet with work in the horrible ice & snow... glad you are OK! We are slowly on the mend re: illness, and I feel better to be on 810... have reset ticker and have 18lb to lose, which seems a bit scary, how did that happen? But I am going 7lbs beyond original goal this time, so that's part of it, and want to take my time on the steps and slowly adjust to maintenance.
Anyway, just happy to see you posting!

Katy - me getting on quietly? Did you read my major wobble on 1000 - back to 810 ? lol I moaned and complained like the best of us lol :-0
My OH I think is much happier with me on 810 as the moaning has quietened down, and I have stopped saying, "BUT THE SCALES!!!!" morning and night at him, with him trying some impromptu response of "glycogen, carb gain, water maybe, due on, ermmm" anything that I may have mentioned in the past year to shut me up lol, and to stop me thinking it's my fault and convince me they would go down when I knew working as hard as I was, it wasn't.
I must admit I am very lucky with OH, he has taken a lot from me in the last year diet-wise, and bearing in mind his mum doesn't 'agree' with CD, he backs me up 100% with it and has been a great supporter, without being overly pushy, or anything like that. He knows this is for me, and the fact he doesn't push but just encourages and reminds me of how bad I will feel if I do it wrong, that helps so much more, as it reminds me, he loves me no matter what - that's a nice feeling.
Anyway enough of my babbling - I love quorn stir fry too - have had that last 2 nights running x

Thanks AlexM... hey, don't go wrecking my illusions! You are calm, sorted, determined one! So there... no, I did read that 1000 was hard for you, was interested to see KD post (on your thread or elsewhere, I can't recall) that she stayed same on two or three of the steps upwards and then began to lose again on 1500 - bizarre! It gave me heart, but did not sway me from choice to do 810. Like you, I want to do the last bit of the journey and then start maintenance on a level playing field.
Alli, fear not, I suspect my journey will go on being bumpy... but this feels like the right time for me, and it has been a long time since I have felt up for trying to sort this last bit of the journey.
As for the tea wafting me magically to tea-time... no. At 3 o clock I was so hungry... spent an hour trying to hold off & then made my hot choc at 4. So, have had all my packs & just the meal now to have, but maybe will have it after 6 instead of at 5-ish as planned. It will be fine. I feel quite calm, in a way I haven't been for ages. Those packs are like magic talismans.
Onwards...

Another day, another dollar... porridge eaten. The bowlful had shrunk even further today, I had to eat it with a teaspoon, no joke. Sigh.
Yesterday went fine, had my quorn meal and then did a bit of work & watched a bit of TV and bed. No picking. It has to be psychological, just accepting that food is off limits... but I am not complaining. Now counting down the long hours till midday...
It's raining here, and washing the latest snowfall away... I am glad. The snow is so pretty but 4 weeks of it seems a bit much... how do people manage in Canada & E. Europe? Come back rain, all is forgiven.
