Morning Ladies. Just had 3 hours sleep after getting home at 6am, having worked a long night shift.
I was supposed to start the 810 plan on Tuesday, but admit i was scared of not losing any more weight and didn't move up the plan 'til Wednesday. Shocked to find myself really fearing that i will put on weight now. Silly really, as everyone continues to lose weight, albeit at a slower rate.
Really, never thought i would go thru such a mental block.
I am even considering moving the goal posts for the 2nd time.
First goal was 10st 4lbs, then 10 stone and now i find myself thinking about going to 9st 10lbs. Mad.
I refuse to stand on my scales over this weekend and only see my CDC on Thursday nite.
Not enjoying the food intake at all. Am very aware of the good feeling this CD SS gave me, but must be careful of the road back to maintaining weight and ensure i do not create problems along the way.
Maybe my honesty here will ensure i keep my sensible head on.
Am i the only one hitting this CD hurdle????

Hi nibbles, glad you are back!!
What are you eating on the 810 plan,1 meal or two and do you still have your 3 shakes? i know how you feel about the fear of eating, i feel exactly the same way, i'm toying with the idea of seeing if i can get 7lb under my target, as i'm afraid that if i put weight on when eating i'd go over target again. Hopefully when you get through a few weeks with food and you continue to weigh-in and don't see dramatic rises that'll make you more comfortable with it?

Totally understand how you feel girls, i hated AAM week and can't imagine how it will feel to move up the plans....i couldn't wait to get back to the safety of SS, i'm actually a little concerned that i am obsessing about losing weight. Obviously i realise that i still have a fair way to go but....i don't like the idea of eating again, i'm not sure if i will get any pleasure from it once i move up the plans as i'm so paranoid about putting on weight.
I went out to a family meal today and as i am on ss decided to just look after my little one while everyone ate. I nearly died when i suddenly realised the water i had been drinking had a slice of lemon in! I mean properly panicked! Whats that about!
Will post WI when i get back 2moro am.

My current daily eating plan is 3 CD meals (sachets) and the 2.25litres of fluid ( just as in SS )
Plus
340mls skimmed milk,
3 tablespoons of vegetables or salad.
One portion of protein rich food eg. cottage cheese, chicken breast, turkey breast, white fish fillet, canned tuna, quorn, fresh tuna steak. ( weights vary, but found on page 8 of CD booklet ).
Tonight i still need to have my third CD meal sachet, but honestly don't feel i like it. Will have to force it down before the evening is over. I have been conditioned into having the 3 CD meals for 7 weeks and am struggling with the extra food. Silly, i know. I have read that many split the food into two small portions, but i do not think this would change things for me.
I notice that a few of us are now coming up against hurdles with regards to food. Maybe it is the latter stages which bring the biggest challenges?????

Not sure which ticker to go by, but believe that you only have 35lbs to go. Less than i started with 7 1/2 weeks ago.
Every loss is a good loss.
You are really doing well, don't let it get you down.
You will get there, for sure

Yeah 35 lbs to go to get under bmi 25, the top ticker is my oct challenge, middle my xmas goal and the last ticker my overall goal.
I'm feeling good now as i know in 1 more lb i will be under bmi 30 and therefore officially just overweight! (In actual fact on my bmi calculator i already am 29.5)
I'm planning to SS for 5 more weeks and then move up to 1000 for december, then see how i feel after xmas. If i want to ss again in jan for a few weeks then fair enough but if i'm happy by then then bonus!

Well done Smurf
Wish i could feel so good this week, as posted elsewhere on this forum by me>>>>I stood on the scales this morning and . Only a loss of 1lb. Oh hell!!!!!
Shall blame this on TOTM and having moved up to 810, although i am still being 100% & only what the CD booklet instructs.
