Oh no - week 4 weigh in

[MrsR2004]

Hi there,

Well, just got back from week 4 weigh in and I only lost 1lb, I know I shouldn't complain as it's still a loss but I am a bit gutted

Some of you may have seen my other post about what a terrible week I have had with work and my little boy but had managed to stick to SS 100%, however I haven't managed to drink enough water - could this really make such a difference?

I didn't expect to get a 1lb loss on CD (when 100% ss)- well not till I was close to target which I am way off at the moment.

I am still feeling pretty positive but have this little niggle that I don't want to get 'stuck' when I have such a long way to go - we all know the only thing that makes CD worth it is the big/bigger losses than any 'normal' diet!

Anyone else been here and had a better loss the following week?

Yup, the one and only time I lost only 1lb was the week when I knew I hadnt had enough water. The following week I lost 5lb. Its a blip, but it will show next week. If you have done the plan then the weight will come off. Have faith in your body and just drink drink drink Hope you have a better week this week and your little boy is OK. December babies are the best (mine is 4 on Friday!) x

Its probably down to the water. Hopefully next week will cheer you up with a bigger loss x

its not only the water hun....
sometimes our body just holds on to everything, totm plays a part, and so does stress!
we are all different, and our bodies will do things their own way, but if you are sticking to plan 100% it WILL come off, just not always when we want it to lol

Thanks missfishcake, it's nice to hear you have had the same & understand! Happy birthday to your son/daughter for Friday! My little boy was 3 bless him!

Thanks Sammy and Claire, my CD also said that sometimes it just happens and there is no reason :-( stress does seem to affect me so aiming for a stress-free week.

Thanks for replying x

Even with a 1lb loss, you've lost 24lbs in 4 weeks and that is amazing. One more week and you will hit the 2st mark. On week 2 I lost 2lbs but I lost 5lbs in week 3 so don't worry the weight's coming off.

 

[MrsR2004]

Thanks Sylvie, thats good to know, I assumed that the first 3-5 weeks would be the biggest losses but I am starting to see from peoples signatures that the losses are up and down.

I am hoping to get to the 2 stone mark before xmas so next week is my last weigh in before then, fingers crossed.

I started the same time as you 17/11 - well done on your first month you have done great! x

Am hoping to hit the 2st target next week too. It says I have 76lbs to go but am thinking of moving my target to 86lbs so that am 158lbs. I will see when I get nearer the time. In essence we have around the same weight to lose. What are your X-mas plans?

 

[MrsR2004]

Good luck on the 2 stone, although don't think you will need it

My target at the moment is 10st 12 which is the highest in the healthy BMI range for my height (just a bit smaller than you at 5"6) and then I thought I would see how I feel really?

My xmas plan is I am SS right up to xmas day and boxing day and then I am having those 2 days off but without going mad, I am still going to have 1 or 2 products on those days and stay away from the main carbs as I get bad headaches and don't want to suffer too much getting back into ketosis. After boxing day I am straight back onto SS and relying on this forum to get me focused again How about you?

Hi hun, 24lbs in 4 weeks is brill so well done! Whatever anybody says about how great any loss is you are bound to be disappointed

 

[tara66]

oops pressed 2 soon, as nobody ss's for 1lb. However you really have to think big picture on these weeks as VLCD's are not about week to week but about the stone a month. Chin up and have a good week x

 

[Serena A]

Sounds like that infamous week 3/week 4 slowdown that lots of people seem to get, they always report a great loss the week after so fingers crossed for you I'm sure you will be fine xx

 

[Bijoux]

I will SS too all the way to X-mas and then on X-mas day I will have 2 packs and I will eat some veg and protein. I will not have any carbs or a desert. I might have a malt toffee bar as my desert. Haven't decided yet lol. To be honest I just want it to be over so I can forge on with the diet and lose more lbs.

 

[MrsR2004]

Thanks Tara - your weight loss journey is amazing and looking at your different results on your signature gives me a boost

Thanks Serena, fingers crossed for a better one next week!

Sylvie - Im with you on the getting it over asap so can focus on SS, once your head is in the right place you don't want to risk it, that said I am looking forward to my small xmas meal (with no potatoes!) and that is keeping me going.

Thanks guys x
