[Nelliduff]

Well done Hypa - there's nothing quite like that feeling, is there (except maybe next week when you add a few more

MR2 sorry about your labrinthitis - at least you know what is wrong and I hope your tablets kick in quick and help.

Cass - where are you?

Evening all,

MR2, glad they have given you a diagnosis, is it something that's curable?

Anna, well done on your 10lbs hun thats fab!! Scales this morning already showed 4lbs off hurrah. Have had a good day today, not much to report really tho. Have to check for ketosis tomorrow morning as CDC asked me to and let her know fingers crossed eh?!

Guys at work still dont know I've switched diets so thats made life fairly easy - at this rate I'll be back on WW before they get the chance to realise it lol

MR2- A friend of mine had Labrynthitus. It is defintely treatable. She's fine now but I do sympathise as it wasn't fun at all. I think it's an inner ear thing?
Wannabslim - I bet you are in ketosis already. You seem quite cheery so its likely!
Nelli - I have PMed Cass but no response as yet.

Am off to the hairdressers tomorrow. All this losing weight business makes me want to do something with my hair too. Also I'm off on holiday next Friday. Anyone fancy being team leader for a week?

 

[MR2_Owner]

I'm rubbish at spreadsheets & maths otherwise I'd do it!

Yeah it's curable, just got to let it run its course & take the tablets- but one of the side effects is weight gain and I can't be doing with that!

Coley hope the hairdressers went ok, where are you off to for your hols?

wannabslim, I was tempted to keep mine secret but its actually not been that bad apart from everynow and then the others say I should eat something!

 

[Nelliduff]

Hi All - hope everyone is well and that you are feeling the benefit of your medication MR2.

I HAVE A PROBLEM - CAN ANYONE HELP

I cannot stop shopping! After last year, I could happily live from the weight I am at now, probably down another couple of stones at least with PLENTY to wear - but I am obsessed.

Was onsite at a clients this am - and returning to the office had to pass some shops! Not even ones I would normally stop at - but stop I did. There were the most gorgeous brown leather ankle boots - Do I need them? Like a hole in the head! Do I really want brown - well, up to that minute I didn't - Did I buy them, you bet your life I did!

Oh, and nice dark blue joggers for the yoga class (like I don't have the ones I bought for the gym, the ones for cycling, or the ones for whatever) - and a T shirt to match.

(Incidentally, I had fun in town on Saturday, oh and on the Saturday before)

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

We have Christmas coming in what seems like five minutes and masses of shopping to do for that - AND - we are off to Florida on 3rd January - I am trying to SAVE.

Talk about an Angel on one shoulder and the Devil on the other !

Nelli:cry:

PS Don't anyone DARE suggest I take these boots back

 

[coley144]

Nelli - Dont take the boots back! Boots are to be cherished!

I was thinking myself though that I am enjoying shopping a lot more recently and I wondered if it is a replacement for food? I'm still 'treating' myself.

Which would be fine if I had the cash!

MR2 - I'm off to Tenerife, just for a week but I can't wait.

I lost 3 pounds this week so that's better than I was expecting!

 

[Nelliduff]

Well done on the 3lb Claire. It's certainly moving now.

I knew that others had to feeling the same way as me about retail therapy - I hardly went near the shops while I was putting the weight back on - only going when it was a choice between giving up work - or going naked (what a sight that would be !). I guess it is the replacement thing - and hope it stops soon otherwise my other half will kill me.

Hope you have a great time in Tenerife.

"See" you next week.
Nelli

 

[wannabslim]

Lucky you Coley - wish I was going away, I hate this cold and miserable winter weather!! Would offer to do the spreadsheet but in all honesty i just dont have time as im in and out of here but never stop around for long.

Day 4 nearly over, am in ketosis but feel pants to be honest hungry and weak and wishing i could have a stir fry! Need to stay strong tho, day 4 is often the worst bit for me.

Nelli- if you feel that guilty, take them back, if not, keep 'em and enjoy 'em! I havent hit the shopping addiction yet, but I know what you mean as I've had it in the past.. I think it just makes us feel better to allow ourselves to do something a bit 'naughty' cos we can't eat anything!

[hypa2008]

well done on your weight loss coley. Them IBS all add up

wannabeslim: well done for being in ketosis. Day four was worse for me too felt weak, hungry, tired was dreaming of food I went bed so early cause of it infact . I woke up day 5 feeling a lot better than day 4 it's not easy we just got keep telling ourselves why we are doing it

 

[wannabslim]

thanks Anna, that's really encouraged me day 5 tomorrow and I'm going to wake up and treat it with the enthusiasm I felt on day 1. Am going to head to bed in a mo too, as it feels more like midnight to me right now than twenty to 10! This diet does seem to make me feel more tired and I dont have the energy to do the exercise I would normally do.

Didnt go to aquafit tonight as felt bad enough just walking in from the car, let alone doing a shallow pool cardio workout (deep pool is closed for refurb and shallow work is much harder on the body and intense), and have spent the evening on minis trying to forget about my hunger... altho I think maybe thinking about it so much has made it seem worse than if I had been doing something completely non-diet related to take my mind of it!

Will post tomorrow gang, but for now, goodnight! xxx

Hi all

How is everyone today?

I'm still feeling pants, plus my right ear feels wet inside now too which is the lovely infection *note the sarcasm*.

WI last night - I lost 3LBS!! Woop Woop so I'm aiming to loose another 3lbs this week which will take me to 3stone lost .

 

[wannabslim]

Aww MR2 sorry to hear you're feeling yucky but hey, 3lbs is FAB and I think you've done great to stick with it when some might turn to food for comfort. Well done

I'm feeling lots better today. Only just started to feel a lil hungry but have only been able to have 1 pack so far today so will have another in a moment and then one later on this evening!

Am pleased to report a loss so far of 6.5lbs yayyayy that makes this all so worthwhile! Another 2 days to go til WI so am hoping to maybe get a loss this week of 8lbs-ish, which would be fab!! To would mean I only have 1 stone to BMI 25 so only another week or 2 after this one on SS then I shall be moving up to SS+/810. YAY!

I'm a happy chappy!x

 

[Nelliduff]

Hi Everyone - I am posting a bit late today - work is taking over my life - need to put a stop to that HA HA! I wish

Well done everyone on the weight losses this week - we are all doing so good and must have a fair total this week.

Claire did you get someone to keep the spreadsheet yet? I can if you haven't.

Hypa - I am finding the Summer Berry drink mix very filling - today I had one pack early on and haven't felt a bit hungry whereas I would have before - so I think it must that. I don't know when you are allowed to have it as I didn't even know it existed until someone told me a couple of weeks ago, but it's worth trying. Makes the water go down much easier.

Nelli

 

[wannabslim]

I think you can have it after 2 weeks (or it maybe in week 2) xx

 

[coley144]

Wannabslim - Hey you are doing great! You'll not be on our spreadsheet this week (results in tomorrow) but next week you could help us win it!

Nelli - If you are volunteering that'd be great! I'll send through this weeks results then I can fill in next weeks til thursday night and email to you. Who gets weighed after thursday?

MR2 - well done on the 3 pounds and, as Wannab said, especially well done on not caving.

Hypa - how you doing? I had you down for 10 pounds this week but if you are only on day 5 can that be right?

Well guess where I am off to tonight? An all you can eat restaurant! How insane is that? I must really love my fella to go (it's a birthday treat for him). Luckily as I'm on SS+ I can have a tiny salad!

 

[Nelliduff]

Morning Everyone.

Claire - you are brave - hope you had fun last night. I popped through to my CDC to get more Summer Berry yesterday and had a good chat with her about my concerns about the Christmas period followed by my holiday - and we are going to write a plan next week. I feel better already.

This morning I received Mike (Icemoose)'s weekly email, and he is talking about the emotional approach we have to eating over the holiday period - the guy makes so much sense. Anyone who doesn't subscribe to his newsletters should.

Have a good Saturday all.
Nelli

 

[wannabslim]

Morning gang!

Nelli, I get his newsletters too and I have to say I agreed with everything he said and am pleased to be able to say that I actually feel the same, in all truthfulness this year my approach has changed and I am looking at Christmas in the same way as him it just goes to show how much one can change in a year!!

Coley - shame I can't go on your spreadsheet this week! Have lost 8lbs now but as you say, there's always next week eh!?

xx

 

[Nelliduff]

Where is everyone? Hope you are all doing well.
Nelli

 

[wannabslim]

Tis very quiet on here today hows everyone getting on? Don't tell me you're all out and about in THIS weather?! hehe

I've had a good day today, fairly relaxed and dietwise its been fine. WI tomorrow morning (my own scales) and in the evening with CDC. Am looking forward to seeing the loss and losing again next week too, but not loving being unable to eat and stuff - I guess where I moved over from WW where I was in control of what I ate etc. and was able to make choices to ensure I ate sensibly I loved it and not being able to eat at all is a big change. Am missing food and missing cooking etc. Not sure how long I can handle CD but am definitely gonna try for at least another 2 weeks will aim for that and then reassess!

xx

 

[hypa2008]

coley i wasn't on day 5 I was telling wannabeslim I felt better on day 5 to day 4 lol
