I'm still doing SS at the mo, Just waiting til after Christmas to see if I can shift this last stone more quickly. Will see how I get on this week and if I'm still struggling I'm going to have a chat with my CDC. I'd love to be under 12st when I go to NYC though.

Wow, well done on staying strong, I'd say going by your loss history, you'll make it down into the 11's no problem

 

[Surfhunny]

I really hope so, cos I've had enough now. Don't get me wrong I couldn't be happier at the moment, but this diet is starting to get me down, it's either that or PMT lol. Anyway, I'm not all doom and gloom tonight, because I have purchased my first pair of size 12 jeans since losing my blubber. WOO HOO!!! And more importantly, I wedged my ass into a pair of size 10's and fastened them up, but couldn't quite bring myself to buy them cos they were too tight. Soooooon though!

 

[yasmine-samara]

Well done. I don't think I would get size 12 jeans on my arm right now never mind on my ass!!!!

 

[Surfhunny]

Thanks hun, it's a major achievement for me!! It feels amazing, but at the same time I still can't quite get my head round it. I haven't been in size 12's for 10 years. It really makes the whole diet worth it. And seriously if I can do it anyone can!!!!

 

[yasmine-samara]

Well..... I had my early night and I have woke up with a sore gooey eye, coughing up all green crap and my throat is all inflamed and closed over. Going the docs at 9.30am.

 

[Shadaca]

Hmmm... I think I've lost a post!

Lins, that sounds yucky - how did the doctor go?

Aww sorry to hear your feeling crap, trust me I completely understand what your going through :gen126:

 

[yasmine-samara]

I am back and the doc said I have a throat and chest infection and I looked really washed out and pale. He told me to get plenty of rest and to eat a healthy balanced diet. I told him that I was following CDss and he advised me that I come off the plan for a few days to give my body an energy boost and help me fight the infection. I really don't know what to do!!:cry:

 

[BBlilsis]

:bliss: WOO HOOO I may be ill and I may be on antibiotics, and I may be stuck in the house day six now, BUT I've lost 2lbs this week :bliss:

I'm really really happy, I've being forced up the plans cuz of taking the meds, but I've been keeping myself in check every single day, I've been averaging around 1400-1600 cals per day including at least 1.5 or 2 CD packs, and its paid off. Illness doesn't have to mean weight gain :girlpower: I think I'm feeling a bit better today, I'm staying in the bed this morning, can't take another day on the sofa just yet, got another day and a half of antibiotics, I may have to go back to doc if its not cleared before then but just looking at my declining ticker cheers me up :angel09:

 

[yasmine-samara]

Oh...... and an eye infection to boot!!!! got some drops..........just put me down now!!!!
Doc said that my defenses are probably low 'cos when you embark on a vlcd it is a bit of a shock to the body but it will settle down once I get rid of this infection.

Lins, all I can recommend is that you do what I've been doing and that is eat food to take the meds, but eat in a controlled manner and you can still use one or two products a day, its all minerals and vitamins, go to www.cambridge-diet.co.uk and have a look at the different plans, theres a 1500cal one that you can follow, ring your CDC have a word with her, all is not lost. :gen126:

:girlpower: you go girl, I've not been in size 12's for over 15years, I bought a pair of size 14's a few weeks back and even they look incredibly skinny, I'm working my way into getting them to fit :giggle:

 

[yasmine-samara]

Thanks,
I am going to see her today at 16.30 for my WI. Will see what she suggests.

Evening everyone!
Thankyou all for the welcome... and I'm really sorry again for being such a lousy teammate so far! This weekend I *did* eat.... and worse... I got just a wee bit sloshed... but I promise to be on my best behaviour eating, drinking and posting wise from now on!!!!

Weigh in tonight and praying that I haven't put any on!

Funnily enough though since then my bodys been showing more signs of being in ketosis (the gross breath, freezing and tingling) so who knows.

Other than that I had an great time, and even managed to raise quite a bit of money for charity, which is always good.


Yasmine-Samara... honestly hun, your health comes wayyyyy before any diet... sommes going up the plans is the best thing... at the end of the day if your determined you will achieve your goal, its better to do it healthily than rush it. x
Good luck on your WI hun!

And lily and surfhunny.... arty0049:arty0049:arty0049:arty0049:arty0049:
Good for you guys!!!

 

[yasmine-samara]

Thanks for all your advice. I have decided to stick with ss and just try and get some early nights and see if that boosts my energy. Someone suggested to try organic wheatgrass powder. You only have 1 teaspoon a day in a drink but it is supposed to nutritionally be the equivalent of eating 1kg of quality fruit and veg. What do you think??
I asked my CDC and she said she doesn't know that much about it but would look into it for me. It is also supposed to be a natural appetite supressant.
Well all that aside I got weighed today and after only 5 days ssing I lost a fab 8lb. I am sooooooo pleased 'cos i feel so crap. It really picked me up!!!

I feel like such a fraud moaning about a bloody viral infection when DD has just got home from hospital and poor bblilsis is ill too!!
