kez i have to say that noone has mentioned that i have lost weight quite disheartening really as makes me think i must have been so huge in the first place lol that that i still look big??
weekend update, after a planned break sat i ate a mcdonalds, steak and chips and lots of lager sat night only to wake up sun morn with the dreaded bug!! couldnt stop being sick etc so am feeling pretty rough tbh.
on the plus side at least i got rid of all the bad things i put into my body sat lol strange way to think but true lol. so have decided no more blips or coming off plan until my hols which are in 81 days and counting lol.
well hope your all well this gets very quiet on weekends x

Oh mate - sorry that you are still not feeling well - not good for those bugs !!
Flat coke - yuck !! just not for me at all so I hope I don't get a bug like that - think I would be suffering for a lot longer if that means coke isn't involved
Hope you are feeling a bit brighter this morning - hope to catch up with you later

well worked all weekend and then went out for a few drinks last nite only had one vodka and yes i realise that this is wrong but i only had the
one and had ss+ meal before hand.been to gym today and did body pump so will have to have ss + meal tonite aswell.
no news tyo report apart from the fact i havent jumped on scales like i would normally do lol as i dont know if i want to know as really really want to get into 15 s this week but that means getting a 5 lb loss. i can only but hope.
had chicken n mushroom soup today and it tasted very odd? im wandering if my tastes are changing? i suppose it can haqppen. anyway taking bambinos to grandmas for tea, roast beef i have to somehow resist as my mums roasts are legendary.and im feeling very hungry today i think its the excercising maybe.

I've found you!!
Just been catching up on your posts - you're doing fabulously hun!
I've noticed you keep saying about "blips" and that you've "cheated" - but look at your weight loss!! It's obviously working for you hun!!
SO...I think, you need to decide if you are going to carry on having "cheat days" and then just plan them in as part of your plan - i.e lose the guilt over them! As you seem to be loosing anyway!
Or stop having them completely and you will lose even more!!
Just stop being/feeling guilty about them! You're doing amazingly and need to be proud of that not feel guilty at all.
CD is not just about getting the weight off, its about allowing us to take a step back from having to eat conventional food so we can learn to stop binge eating and make healthier food choices - you're doing this!! amazingly well! so there's NO need at all to feel guilty! what you ARE feeling is hunger - and when you're eating you're choosing good food choices - chicken salad etc.... (minus the steak and chips and maccie d's!) lol!
Just keep doing what you're doing and you're going to be at goal in no time! You're my inspiration! So stop feeling bad and feel GOOD GOOD GOOD!! you've made this choice to change your life and its working so feel proud and amazing and happy!!
I'm going to take a similar approach to CD as you when I get started.....I'm going to start on SS for the first 12 weeks and then after that mix it up between SS, SS+ and 810 plan until I get close to goal. I'm going to plan small "cheat" days in - but I'm going to positively call these "treat" days....so that I don't feel any guilt over them so that when the weight is off for good and I go on to eat a healthy diet 90% of the time and allow myself treats the other 10%....for me CD is going to be about setting up positive eating habits for the future - so there's no place for guilt! If, when I get to my "treat" days I don't want a treat - I won't have it! There's always another day when I will!
I'll keep catching up on your posts to see how you're doing, if you don't mind?
I start mine on Friday 23rd April.....although I'm hoping I can start earlier as I'm in the zone now and anxious to start! I meet my CD consultant tomorrow so will see what she says, I think she's going to advise me doing the 810 plan or higher til I get my blood tests back, but I know it might sound silly, but I either want to start SS properly straight away or wait til I can and do my own thing til then.
I noticed you're from Swansea!
I'm not far......Llantrisant. I went to Uni in Swansea and love it there! Singleton park (pub on the pond!) or Mumbles - there's nowhere nicer in the sun!
We'll all have to have a CD meeting up session! Wait til I've started and lost some weight tho! lol!
With all the classes you're doing you sound like you go to a similar gym to me - are you in an Esporta by any chance?? I go to the one in Bridgend!
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you know that you're doing amazingly and KEEP IT UP!!
