Good luck Lorrayne, hope you have a nice loss
And good luck to everyone else on a monday WI.
I'm hoping for a little better than my measly 1lb last week

and want to go down and down now...but will see I guess, I can't control the scales unfortunately.
Well done everyone - really good losses!
I lost 3lbs this week, but financially sooo tight at the minute, so am now on 1000 - absolutely terrified of how this is going to affect W.I.'s - with 2 stone still to go, but I've got to get there eventually, finally dropped into the overweight and not obese category too so realllllly hoping that I don't gain next week with the added carbs this week, as don't want to go to that 'obese' category again
Lorrayne - I knew you'd have that 6lbs off - just a feeling about it - so that's absolutely fab! x
What is good about this is you are planning ahead and that is the key here. When I started moving up the plans I didn't plan my meals like Jess did. She was so organised and she did very well doing that... up until she lost her job. Just keep posting on here for all the support you need. xxThank you, the encouragement is really appreciated
I've been warned the first week on 1000 might not be good as its the re-introducement of carbs, and I could hold water. I'm just hoping that because I'm still that bit heavier (ok a lot heavier still lol) that I will still have losses, to be fair on 810 and even SS, and SS+ apart from the last 2 weeks a lot of my losses were 1 3/4lbs, so even if I can equal that it would be nice, or even 2lbs a week would be lovely!
I've lowered my overall goal for the time being to just hit my healthy BMI of 10 stone 1 and then will re-assess if/when I get there, and then will re-aim to go for the 9 stone 10, but I think while the finances are all up in the air, I just need to prepare myself for the worst, so if I'm on 1000 and things go realllly bad (which they could easily with Chris's job on the line) then at least I know I could go to 1200 if I absolutely had to and then just try and maintain the weight I'm at or even lose 1/2lb a week or something like that for a while...just trying to think long term if that makes sense. We know his job should be safe 'til September, but that is coming round scarily quickly, and the way my weigh in's go I don't think I'll be at goal by then. x
I've only got a few pounds to go after all.
Thanks for the PMs girls - I'm OK, honest, just been busy!
Thankfully this week I lost the 1½lbs I put on last week, so at least I'm back under 11 stone again. (I was so worried about this that I did an SS day last week, just to make sure!) I'm going to stay on 810 until we go on holiday (20th) and then I'm going to stop the diet while we're away and just eat sensibly, and no boozing!
The most worrying thing that happened this week was that my hairdresser said my hair was thinner - and I hadn't even noticed! I know it's a side effect on VLCDs, but you somehow think these things won't happen to you. I'm just glad I've started eating food now - hopefully my hair will thicken up again (hairdresser recommended Vitamin B). :sigh:
(PS. The best thing this week was finding some amazing clothes in charity shops - I reckon they've all been watching Mary Queen of Charity Shops, lol!)
