Step 1 Sole Source Ok.... Here goes nothing....

[tomnkatesmum]

Yeah I'm not embarrassed, but don't want to feel everyone is watching me and waiting for me to fail!

I try and stay out of the bath and away from the mirror!

If you plan the break it should be fine, just decide when you'll get back on the diet and stick to it and you'll do fab!

I haven't had any breaks, and have stay 100%. I'm hoping to continue ssing 100% till December, but it seems a long way off at the mo!

 

[starry*eyed<3]

Wow - very well done !! 100% for all that time is excellent !!


I'm not as strong as you to do it all that time, I need a few planned breaks in between.... I plan a break that weekend, and then 100% again until the weekend before I go away - which is end of November, I'm hoping to come back after m hols, but m being realistic as it will be the couple of weeks before Christmas and. Know I will probably find it very hard, especially with all the Christmas parties and nights out, I MAY have a break in December, ill see how my losses have been.... I'm weak and Christmas is my fave time of year haha xx

 

[tomnkatesmum]

I know what you mean hun, however I'm going away for Christmas and want to be as slim as possible for my holiday! I'm planning to work as hard as possible...

I will have some time off in December as I have the best meal planned and I cannot wait!!

However this is just my plan, at least 8 more weeks ssing might be too hard... But I'm gonna try!

 

[starry*eyed<3]

Well hats off to you I say, you have done great, and you will continue to do great


Have people started noticing yet? I remember when I lost a couple of stone at the start of the year, and I hated it when people commented, it made me feel embarrassed, I would always play down how much I lost and try to change the subject as quickly as I could.... Need to work on that I think........

Xx

 

[tomnkatesmum]

I'm the same..I hate it when people comment..just go bright red and don't know what to say!

I'm just over the stone so its not really showing yet, not sure how I'll cope when people comment, probably pretend I didn't hear them! Lol!

Yea it is really embarrassing isn't it... It won't be long before you'll be getting loads of compliments xx

 

[Jelliebabe]

Hi girls - the best way to cut short the compliments is to smile widely and say thank you! The quickly redirect the conversation to something else. People love paying compliments and having them received nicely. Sometimes when someone goes "oh no I don't" The person then carries on as if trying to convince you! That's what I do anyway - and yes it can get a bit much!

 

[starry*eyed<3]

To be honest yes, I do it to people as well.... Haha !!


Well day 9 - wow !!! That's gone quick!!!

On me Taff today, made cupcakes, very very pretty they are too.... Didn't eat any, not even a spoon lick....ill have to give them away, will walk to the fams lata, other than that not much t report....

Oh, I did a pee stick this morning, omg it was purple.... So plenty of water it is for me as I think that might mean I'm dehydrated :/

Love xx

 

[starry*eyed<3]

Ew ew ew ... Just made a butterscotch into a mouse - disgusting !!!!! Don't think. Even managed half of it before I had to scrape it into the bn - bleughhhhh grossssss

Hungry now :/ xx

I hated the mix a mouse alltogether. Blech

 

[starry*eyed<3]

They are disgusting - and I can never make it right, it's always either really runny ( like frogspawn) or firm ( like rubber ) bleughhhh gross !!

Just had 2 egg whites, made boiled eggs and ate the whites - wanted some food as I was taking ibuprofen for lady pains probably shouldn't have eaten them, but felt so hungry and cr4ppy and I get stomach aches and nausea if I take ibuprofen on a empty stomach - still feel hungry and cr4ppy, so a bit point less really !!! Going to go and have a bath as not feeling the best tonight

Bad times xx

 

[tomnkatesmum]

Ah babe sorry your feeling rough... Its horrid when you feel rotten!

Well I haven't tried the mousse's yet, but I think you've both put me off them now... To be honest they didn't appeal, but now, think I won't bother!

If your taking ibuprofen and get sick its often worth taking with milk, not sure if you can build in milk but it does helpline your stomach and stop you getting so sick!

Otherwise you had a good day? Hope you feel better soon xxx

Hey jelliebabe, your right, I do that too! I hate it when people give me compliments but suppose if I plan to continue with ss, then I will need to learn!

If I were to stop wearing my big cardy, people might even notice now! Lol!

Though with the weather this cold, people might not notice anything till I remove my big coat and cardy's next year!

 

[starry*eyed<3]

Ooh stop wearing your big cardy haha - but you will feel the cold more cause of the weight loss!! And it has been freezing :/ I've been cold since I woke up :/

Thanks ladies, I feel a bit better now my ibuprofen and bath are kickin in, just had my last pack, and may have a jelly... X

 

[tomnkatesmum]

i cannot manage at the moment without my cardy's! Ketosis is making me freezing and this weather does not help!!!!

How you feeling today? any better from yesterday?

 

[starry*eyed<3]

Feeling a bit better thanks,

The totm fairy arrived last night, and ew is all I can say, I've had the worst p pains I've ever had :/
Had an operation 2 weeks ago to remove cysts and free a trapped ovary and I think that must be the reason, but it's been terrible, I'm going to see my specialist later for my check up and hope that he can offer some advice...

Also feeling starving today, and fat and frumpy, I weighed myself last night and haven't lost anything since Monday don't know why, I haven't faltered once, I've had all my shakes, no chicken all week, ive had a couple of teeny tiny bowls of jelly ( on tues and weds)I'm still in ketosis suppose I could have drank more water, but I've not been terrible........ why haven't I lost (( bahhhhhh !! Not fair !!

 

[tomnkatesmum]

ah, sorry hun, you sound so down! loads of girls dont lose at all, or lose very little around their totm! i dont know when mine is as i have the injection and it has stopped my periods for the last couple of years! no pains or anything!

I hope the doctor can be of some help... the surgery sounds very painful, i suppose that mixed with your totm and your body probably has had enough!!! i'm sure you will feel so much better soon, and will be back to your happy and bubbly self!!!

Just holler if you want to chat at all, =0)

 

[starry*eyed<3]

Thanks Hun!!

Just got back from seeng my specialist, feel a bit better as he put my mind at ease on a lot of things, one thing I am worried about is my belly button - sounds weird I know - the stitches are looking a bit weird and it's sore and leaking ( sorry for the graphics) he had a look and thanks it may be infected, he's started me on some antibiotics and was really confused when I asked him if I could take them on an empty stomach as I'm not eating at the moment....had to explain I'm doing cd - he couldn't believe we have less than 500 cals a day haha

I'm quite worried about work too, they have been making me feel a bit pressured asking me how long I'll be off and when I'm coming back. I have had 6 weeks off, but I think after 2 operations 6 weeks isn't too bad, I've been feeling really down and stressed out and I've needed the time to recover mentally as well as physically, not that my work seems to get that..... Sec told me if I feel I need more time I should speak with my gp and get signed off for a bit longer, but I'm not sure how my work will feel about that...... Why is it always pressure and stress eh !!!!

Had a good day diet wise, 2 shakes and a chicken breast. Told myself I wouldn't cheat with the chicken, but to be honest I've felt so poo today I really needed some real Scran, and I know one chicken breast won't do too much harm.......

 

[tomnkatesmum]

Glad your appointment went well and doc could reassure you. Work can be difficult and its horrid when they pressurise you...if your not up to it though get signed of for another week... You need to bee okay physically and mentally! Also if you have an infection that won't help!

Hope the meds kick in soon and you feel better really soon!

Haha... Would have thought doctor would know about cdc! Crazy though, less than 500 calories a day!

Chicken won't be a problem, that's just like an ss+ day!

When do you next weigh in?

Xx

 

[starry*eyed<3]

Haha I know - his jaw nearly hit the floor when I told him about it - he was like 'how long are you planning this for' I was a bit worried as I thought he might tell me to stop while i am still healing, but he didn't so all good..... I'd of thought he would have heard of this diet too, it's been going for years....

I think I might go speak to my gp tomorrow, I haven't been sleeping great, just a couple of hours at a time and my stomach is really sore, plus the stitch poking out probably isn't the best to go to work with either, just dreading telling my boss :/ xx
