HI WBS - well done on your food choices - got my fingers crossed for you on weight loss. I had a nightmare of a weekend. We live opposite a pub that is our local, our friends own it and my best friend is the manageress there which makes it quite difficult. After a difficult week at work I thru the diet friday night, drank vodka and had a chicken kebab, not content with that ate my hang-over away sensibly with chicken and salad on Saturday and did it all again Sun/Mon. Sunday had lovely home made pasties my hubby had made in the morning (the smell was just too much to bear! lol) and then went over the pub and followed more!!! fgs!! vodka with a roast dinner albiet with no pots just roast beef and veg. Monday we just won't talk about but somehow the damage to the scales is only 2lb. I'm now back focused, am 2 litres of water down and am determined to stay SS. This is so hard, but I know eventually worth it. Good luck xx

Hi guys, thanks for your good wishes.
Am finding things a bit hard today. Feel low, have had constant TOTM since coming on CD (and I shouldn't have any probs with that as am on the cont. injection!!) and want to eat even though I'm not hungry. Am trying desperately hard to stay strong and at the moment am just having to focus on the WI tonight to keep me going.
After WI I will have my SS+ meal which tonight will be prawns on a bed of lettuce, and hopefully I'll feel a bit better after that.
Poppygreendog, sorry to hear you didn't have a good weekend foodwise. Just a little request, could I politely just ask for no food porn on my diary thread please? It's only because hearing people talking about food like that makes this more of a challenge for me, especially when I'm having a bad day! I tend to try to steer clear of "food talk" in real life and online while on CD unless it's on my diary thread and it's me confessing to something. Talk of roasts and pasties doesn't make things easy for me! Thanks for stopping by and please do keep posting
! Have you thought about starting a diary where you can write about that stuff?
Have gone home from work this afternoon as my stomach is really painful (cramps) and I feel a bit like a zombie - feels like my head is disconnected from my body. Wonder if that part of it is related to my migraine yesterday. I expect so. Still, have taken the afternoon off as am owed some time off in lieu of overtime previously worked, so at least I haven't had to go home officially "sick".
Am now snuggled up in bed with a glass of water and wishing my hubby was here and not in stupid France for the week.

Aww WBS
Hope you are feeling better now and that you had a good weigh in. I've been moaning on my own diary because I am feeling so tired and a bit listless this time round but I've noticed that other people seem to be feeling the same - don't know what's getting into all of us - but IT WILL PASS.
Discussed it with my CDC yesterday - she talked about drinking more water and SAD syndrome - anyway, I took her at her word and have been slugging water like nobody's business and buying tops on ASOS which definately made me feel better.
Now I need to keep going just to fit into them Day 30 for me today and 26lb down.

Hey hun, well done you - that's an amazing achievement - stick with it, it'll be worth it!
So my official weigh in was today and I lost 8lbs. I wore the same clothes as last week to try to help get an accurate figure. I talked to my CDC about some troubles I've been having with permanent TOTM since starting and she couldn't advise me at the time but will contact HQ and let me know what they say.
Now a confession. After struggling the last few days and feeling awful, I ate tonight. Am cross with myself but will be back on plan tomorrow as normal, 100%. Part of me thought that by eating maybe I could "confuse" my body a bit and spur on my weight loss and maybe stop some of my side effects - time will tell I guess. But I felt ill within a few minutes and will NOT be tempted to do it again, lesson learnt.
Have consumed about 1200 cals as a result of my meal tonight, I know I'll now have to get back into ketosis but tbh I feel so rough anyway at the mo I may as well not be in ketosis anyway! Determined to stick with it til my hols now though, no more treats or cheats.
Will do my Wii weigh in tomorrow morning
Nite all xx

Hey poppy, thanks and no offence taken, was just having a tough day and finding it hard to deal with food.
Am feeling a bit down, have the WORST stomach cramps today and wondering when this is gonna end! I haven't felt hungry today despite eating last night and have found it easy to stick to the plan, just fed up of having permanent AF!

Hi WBS - well done on the 8lb.
Hope you are feeling a bit better. I feel good today but could murder a glass of pink - would have been OK but there is a bottle in the fridge from when we had visitors two weeks ago so going to relegate it to the back of the cupboard

I have an opened bottle of pink AND white in the fridge which I am ignoring lol! Feeling better in the sense that the headaches and dizzy feeling has gone but still have cramps etc. which are driving me nuts! But am going to carry on, despite my CDC telling me to come off it until she's spoken to HQ to check that what I'm going through is ok!

Well done on ignoring the wine WBS - I managed to to ignore the one in my fridge too last night Hard though.
I am still up and down on this CD trip - some days it seems easy and others I am really hungry - also have had sore heads too. Have been drinking lots so it's not down to lack of water. One thing though is that I am not constipated - which was one of my BIG complaints last time round - I think it may be down to the cranberry bars which are now my favourites though I am sure I tried them before and didn't like much - odd.
Most of the time I am really struggling - to make matters worse, for the longest time I wasn't actually feeling any thinner or better - unlike previous attempts when right from the end of the first week I felt a difference, however last night tried on a pair of linen trousers which were put away as too small months ago. They went on, they zipped up - so tight round my tum that I wouldn't go out in them yet, but they wouldn't even keek on me before. That has definately helped the motivation quite a bit.
I know you have heard this before from me, but this really has to be the very last CD trip for me, I am positive I could not do it again. Must get to the very end, go through maintainence and then deal with whatever is necessary for the long term instead of slipping back a bit as I've done before.
Hope you are having a good day

Hey hun, sounds like you are very determined!
I feel like I have put on flab over the past couple of days, despite sticking to 810 (have agreed with CDC to eat a bit more to see if it improves some of my side effects) I feel chubbier than ever before. Am thinking of weighing tomorrow to see what the scales suggest might be going on!
Have found things much easier today - more energy, more enthusiasm and less desire to eat!
Just wish I could fast forward to maintenance, losing weight is booooring!

Have just hopped on the Wii fit. Last time I weighed on there it was the morning of my WI and I was a BMI of 30.4 - I weighed first thing etc. so that's the lightest I could have been that day. Wii fit just now after scrambled egg with mushrooms and it's saying BMI of 30.1 and half a lb off - however, this is my end of the day weight. So I'm hoping that if I hop on in the morning it'll show a couple of lbs off since tuesday. That would be nice as it'd mean I'm not far off track for a 4lb loss this week which I'd be chuffed with, although 5lbs would be nice as it's only week 2 and I lost 2lbs less last week than I was hoping for (even though I was happy with 8lbs I've lost more than that in the past).
Fingers crossed tomorrow morning will encourage me a bit - I'll need a boost to get through the weekend I think!

Thats good - you should do OK when you weigh yourself in the morning - good luck.
It's strange how things are different each time, both with losing and with putting it back on. I am a totally different shape from before when I had a huge bum and boobs - now it is concentrated around the middle - so I think that's why it was harder to feel the difference - though there is no denying now that it's going.
I have been as lazy as can be tonight - did a little bit of work when I came home (work work not housework) and then sat glued to the TV for the soaps and the mystery drama. Two of our golden retrievers have been sick and I sat on the floor coaxing one in particular to eat - he turned his nose up at scrambled egg, cheese, bagel (all his favourites) and finally obliged us by having some steak sausage
Honestly, we normally feed them what dogs are supposed to eat, but he wasn't having any of that, and we to get something into him as he hadn't eaten in days. Hard work right enough !
Hope the headaches have cleared up a bit.

Why Be Normal?
Hi WBS --
Re: the TOTM. ClairBear mentioned this problem and she went to her GP who gave her a pill to sort her out. Oestrogen is stored in body fat so when you are on VLCD you are possibly releasing enough of it into to your body to cause this situation. Talk to your GP.
Also, losses tend to be as good on 810 at on SS because on a VLCD your body becomes more efficient and you BMR drops. (You burn fewer calories.)

Morning well according to the Wii fit this morning I'm down to 13.2 and a bit, so that's 10lbs less than on day 1 and 2lbs down since my WI on Tuesday. Am really hoping that by my next official WI I can be down at the 13st mark - it would be so nice to see 12-something on the scales!
But if I don't, my hubby got back from working abroad last night and this morning he said I "feel skinnier" than I did when he last saw me (last Sunday night) - I am still carrying a lot of extra weight but he's noticing the difference, so that was a big bonus on the motivation front today!
Am going to make a conscious effort to drink LOADS between now and Tuesday and make sure I get my green veg on SS+ to help me to stay regular, which will hopefully make the weightloss speed up a bit as I have been a bit too relaxed about getting my water and greens in and some days probs haven't drunk as much as I should have.
Gonna aim for a 4lb loss on Tuesday

Not sure hun, I know I read it somewhere, may have been another thread! Do you have a diary? You should start one if not
Have decided to revert to my diary rather than carry on posting on this "open" thread as there are some things I don't want random visitors to the site reading, so am going to close this thread here. My diary is available to view by Gold Members hope to see some of you over there if you've reached gold!
