Either remove the food, or remove yourself from the temptation. Get in the bath, paint your nails, take a walk, put a film on...just don't give in. You can do this, you really can. Focus on weigh day.

The food will be there later, tomorrow, next week, next year. This weigh in will only happen once. Which is more important?

I was being tongue-in-cheek (thought that was evident?). No offence intended.

Hi Bridie, congratulations on your loss so far you've done so well.

Now by all means tell me to bog off or butt out but have you thought about increasing your protein/calorie intake to lose the last 5lbs?
I remember from when I was doing CD a lot of the consultants on the CD forum suggested that anyone who got their BMI down to 25 should move up to 810 or higher because as you get closer 25 the less effective a VLCD is, mainly because more protein is required at low BMI (<25) - Protein helps to preserve lean tissue and muscle. The diet is supposed to burn fat, not lean tissue. Losing lean tissue/muscle can be a problem.

Also, a lot of the long term SS'ers used to do the odd 810 week (myself included) to kick start the metabolism and start having good losses again.

As I say, tell me to mind me own if you want but I just thought I'd offer a bit of friendly advice.
Best of luck in losing the last 5lb and getting to goal, losing 51lbs is a remarkable achievement, I bet you feel fantastic

oh im so sorry if you meant it as a joke!! i was in such a bad hungry mood and your comment made me reaaaallly want a doughnut to add to everything else i wanted! sorry

and to gemma so i wont wask you to butt out lol funnily enough ive just finished my second week lost 3lbs )))) verry happy but as of tomorow im adding a meal a day for my last week then adding 2 meals 1 less shake the week after and so on! so hopefully still loose the last couple of pounds plus have enough energy to start at the gym to tone up

 

[gemmagilchrist]

That's great news! Only 2lbs to go now, you must be thrilled x

Sorry, I realise it was probably the wrong way of phrasing things! I just meant you've done brilliantly to get your bmi down to 21 - I can only dream! Well done and best of luck with the rest, you're so close now you can almost touch it
