Team 14 - Scream if you wanna go faster! - Official Thread

Anna is well. She's just got a new car and is very excited. Join us on Facebook if you like..I can PM you my username on there.

South Beach is working well...so far....I started Saturday and am down 6 pounds! I'm presuming it is all my glycogen stores (as it is low carb at first) so the next few days should show if I can lose actual weight or not. I'm soooooooooo close now to my goal for fertility treatment, BMI 35, so fingers crossed.

I've got a copy of the book from my diet lady - who still sees me despite my not being on CD. I haven't paid her a penny since March! It is good having someone to report to though.

South Beach would be a bit of a nightmare without meat! You'd eat A LOT of eggs!

So are you fed up because of the diet or is it something else?

ps I'm 39 - does that beat you?
 
It sure as heck doesn't - I will post a picture and see what you think. Incidentally, YOU look about 25 ! I am glad South Beach is working for you.

I am stressed yet again - because of the nature of our work we always go a little bit quieter in the summer and I alway hate it - this year, because it was slow for the first four months I am hating it even more. Also, getting paid is more difficult that usual. You'd think that being agitated would help with the weight loss - but it doesn't happen like that for whatever reason.

Tomorrow I am going to start taking my bike out and get some exercise. :)
 
25? Must be a very flattering picture..but thank you!

Am down another pound today. 7 since Saturday! I'm hoping that last one was actual weight!

I've never lost weight when I was agitated..always put it on. I think that's just something that happens to skinny people.
 
Well done on another pound. What date is your wedding? We have just received an invitation to one on 29th August - friends of ours whose daughter is getting married so I will be on the lookout for something nice to wear while in the US - and also a "different" wedding present.

I am not very good with Facebook - you wouldn't believe that IT is my job, but I just don't have the patience when it comes to learning - typical trainer.

Will pm you my name so you can find me and I will try not

Hi Claire

Hiya all,

I thought I would pop my face on here even if I am not technically doing CD anymore. I had to stop doing CD due to health reasons as it was making me ill but I am now dieting the healthy way just healthy foods and exercise and have lost 13.5 pounds since 10th june this way. I know this isn't as quick as CD but quick isn't always better. The best way is the best way for your body. This way I get all the nutrition my body requires and also feel energetic and healthy which I am currently. I am still drinking a lot water just like on CD though:)
 
which diet are you doing? I am doing slimming world. I did it when I was 19 and got to 11 stone with it so I am hoping I will be as successful and the good thing is it teaches you good habits as all the foods you eat on it are healthy ones. I do not feel hungry on it either:)
 
I was on South Beach - now I'm having a few weeks off (getting married on Friday!) and then I don't know - either south beach or calorie counting.

Glad you are happy on your new diet - and it looks like it is going well too.
 
I lost one and half pounds this week thought i'd still keep you two updated on my progress
 
Well done babes. I've put on over half a stone! It was just glycogen as I'd been on a low carb diet but it wasn't really my plan for the week.

Now I have to get that weight off for real!

But first I'm gonna get married..tomorrow!
 
Hi Ladies
Watching you both on Facebook. I am not quite out of control but not back on track after my holiday - we usually go to then US in the Spring and then around October, but for various reasons did January and August this year - I am depressed as I don't have any holiday to come :( :( ... however, as we are looking for a condo over there, hubby says that maybe late October or early November - so I need to get back on track.
I stay this side of the camera usually, but my friend tagged some of the photographs she posted. I thought, who is that fatty with my Godson, - oh heck it's me !!!!!
Planning new start on Monday !

Claire your pictures were fab and the wedding for the kids precious. You looked so happy. Congratulations again.

Anna - well done - you are doing soooo good.

Love Nelli
 
Ah, just looked on Facebook - there you are! So nice to put a face to the name.

Thank you for the compliments - I was extremely happy - and still am!

I'm back on calorie counting. South Beach was crap - I lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks - all very good then I went back onto carbs just before the wedding and put ALL the weight back on within a few days. I wasn't overeating so it was just glycogen - meaning I lost NO real weight at all!

So back to weighing food again! Am off to see a thyroid dietician tomorrow to see if she knows any special tricks I can utilise.

Hope you two have a good week.
 
I did lose 5.5 this week on weds at weigh in so I am happy with that. I have got the gym bug at the moment lol
 
Glad the gym bug has got you. Well done on the 5.5..that's fantastic.

My calorie counting went well too. I lost 3 pounds last week.
