You hit the nail on the head there. Subconsciously you think of that mark as a barrier you can't cross so mentally you're almost preparing yourself to fail. I do the same thing roughly at a 200 lbs mark. The thing is. It's just a number. The trick is not to allow the number define or defeat you. Just push through it. Maybe try not to weigh yourself for a few weeks which will allow you to forget about the number and let you focus of hitting your goal. I promise you, it can be done. Just remain positive and fight though it.

Hi - sorry to hear you're struggling - we all do at times - but you've done too well to blow it now (listen to me - one who's done exactly that sooo many times!) hopefully with this site, OH's support and the willpower you obviously have, to get this far - you'll get over it.
Could you have a rethink about what you're eating - p'raps you're getting bored - or as the saying goes a change is as good as a rest?? There's lots of ideas here - would they help you change/enjoy what you're eating during this tough patch - good luck - hope the demons move on soon.

I think I'm going to hide the scales for a month or so. Measured my self and I've lost 6 inches off my hips and waist so I know I can do it and it's working.
Thanks M x

Thanks to everyone who has posted I'm planning on remaining on SnS for aleast the next 10 weeks while I have my packs and going to try and stick to it 100%.
Looking back my weight loss has slowed down since I've started adding extra veg and protein so I'm going to try and stick to just my packs for a couple of weeks.
I've also decided I'm going to try and avoid the scales as there nit encouraging me at all.
I'm still very determined to loose weight and it works for me, even if I'm not 100% I can pick it back up and get a loss. If I was on any other diet it would of been a gain this week.

May I recommend a tick chart for you to tick off the days or the weeks - sometimes a visual indication of seeing your initial goal (the wedding you're going to) can really help psychologically. And seeing it ticked off each day knowing you've had another good day could give you a buzz?!
I'm making one up just to get through this week. I'm coming off plan Friday night and Saturday night and have planned nights off sat 1st and sat 8th too!! So going to make a chart to tick off as I can feel myself wavering into the 'oh you're coming off anyway' territory! Grr.
Good luck hun! You'll do great Xx

As long as it knocks you out of ketosis then you should be fine. It's different for everyone as to what knocks them out. Drink water alongside your alcohol too. You'll be amazed how quickly you'll feel tipsy. I used to take aaaaaages before I felt drunk, but when I had a day off on the Cambridge diet I was halfway through my first drink and already felt that warm tipsy glow!! Was very unlike me!! Just listen to your body, if you start feeling a bit more merry then you thought you would after a few sips have a small snack and lots of water.
I love a good tick chart! Lol Xx

Meany scales!
I think they play around with us until our weigh in.
Could be anything hun - water, stress, later pack evening before, 'bunged' up. This scales business happens to us all but over a week they tend to sort themselves out.
Sorry you're feeling poorly my sweet. Lots of hot drinks and water to flush that cold out!
Hugs Xx
