Thank you so much for your advice and support. I will be getting myself some Fybogel in the morning!
I'm feeling rotten
And I really want to eat!!!!!
What can I have that won't take me out of ketosis?
I'm on day 21 of 100% ss.
I was thinking a boiled egg and some cucumber? Would that be ok?
I've got time of the month for the second time in 3 weeks plus my other "problem" I want to cry

Sorry this is a bit late now. Yes just have a ss+ day so follow those guidelines. I normally have a small salad, 50g chicken and then as much cucumber, lettuce, green pepper and mushrooms as I want (CDC advice) with a bit of fat free or v low fat low carb dressing. Makes all the difference some days xxx

Lol sorry thought I'd copy and pasted! It was a post from a lady who told her son to open ur mouth and shut your gob! Lol was funny

Total loss- 35lbs

Lol makes more sense now x

Wow to all the losses and even those who went on holiday. It's truly inspiring. I've nearly completed day 1 but on the 1200 step, which I think it's harder because I hve no idea of portion size and so not used to weighing things. I still hve some water to finish and could not trust myself whilst my oh was having his dinner. So here I am on the iPad watching eastenders and catching up with the posts. Oh did I say that somehow I lapsed on my first day and ended up,having hula hoops!!!! I completely forgot and didn't even realise until I had scoffed the lot. Seriously who does that? So im looking forward to stepping down to SS as I really don't want to be eating at the moment. Sorry a question I am suppose to have 2 shakes but have only had 1 today is that ok?

Try and have all your shakes to make sure you're getting your nutrients. How come you've started on 1200 to work your way down? Doesn't 1200 just give you more of a calorie allowance than food guidelines if I remember right x

I like these 2 quotes
Roger danger field -- I'm on a diet of Viagra and prunes I don't know if I'm coming or going!
Billy Connelly --- I like th Mars bar diet you dont eat it you stuff it up your bum and let a rotweiller chase you home!

Keep smiling xxx

PMSL!!! X

 

[Rkmriddell]

Lol!
Someone said to me the other day that her husband had something to her and i thought it was great!
He said " I'd much rather have a go on a bouncy castle than a climbing frame"

Haha x true tho most men say that. Just rather be a bouncy castle than a trampoline lol x

Hello.... I'm 51 feeling like a 14 year old.... On day 56..... Still going strong... Hoping to have 21 day left of ss before moving up to step two....

My mind is on maintaining maintaining.... I just can't go back.... I'm slowly Learning about low carb diets & low fat....

I must stay on this for life..... No going back......

Day 56 well done. How much have you lost / got left to lose? X

Hi everyone. Had a busy day today, only just sat down. Felt a bit dizzy again earlier so had some more chicken, not much but it definitely stopped me feeling like that. Was wondering if it was down to doing a lot of walking today?

I've got a bit of a weird/tmi question coming up so stop reading if you're squeamish lol... Just had an appointment come through for a colonoscopy next Tuesday. I've got to have some really strong laxatives the night before to "clean me out". Do you think I'll be ok doing cd and having that? Apparently it can knock the stuffing out of you when you're taking the laxatives and after you've had the procedure. I'm not really comfortable speaking to my CDC about it (it's a lot easier to hide behind a computer monitor where my blushes can't be seen!) do I have to tell her?

Sorry if I've put anyone off their shakes xxx

Yes hun the exercise will definitely be what's doing it. Hmm am sure you'd be fine but it won't be comfortable. Maybe post on the official cd forum asking for a CDC advice? X

Good morning ladies hope your all well! Had a rubbish sleep last night... Dreamt that a woman at work made a big pan of chilli, we all queued up with our bowls and she dished it up, when I gave her my bowl she gave it back to me EMPTY...lol, how bizarre! Oh well, still annoyed at 'spud gate' but feeling more positive today, I'm gonna nail this diet if it kills me...already on my second green tea and had a litre of water....going to isle of man on Friday till Monday and staying on a friends yacht, not looking forward to it at all, although it will be nice to get away! My luggage is gonna consist of shakes, water, tuna, pepsi max, cottage cheese and spring onions lol! Have a good day everyone and thatks for the kick up the ass last night your support and encouragement is sooooo appreciated xxx

Glad you're feeling better hunni! You'll be fine this weekend! Maybe swap the Pepsi for coke zero as the Pepsi has citric acid (Pepsi max my favourite lol) though. We're always here Hun just make sure you have your phone x

 

[Rkmriddell]

[Rkmriddell]

Hi Hun, yeah the dream has got to be a sign lol! I do feel better this morning thanks....just tested my wee and I'm not in ketosis any more stupid spuds! Does this mean it's gonna take 4 days again to get back in it? And will I feel crap again like the first time?

Good luck with your WI too I always feel nervous when I'm about to get on the scales, more so this next one cos I wobbled lol...I'm sure you'll be fine xxx

It shouldn't take as long as your glycogen shouldn't be that high from a small amount x just push through with plenty of water x

Thanks Hun, I'm still angry with myself but it's done now! Ahh right, I'll swap to zero then...my CDC didn't say that she just said Pepsi max!

Thanks again for the support xxx

 

[Rkmriddell]

Good morning team have to say that I am so proud of us all. The support that is on offer in this thread is phenomenal!!! I'm very grateful to you all and proud to be part of it.

Anyway gushy stuff over lol. Good luck to everyone with a WI today, I'm exited to see how you get on!!! Nothing much to report with me, waiting to see what the weather is like about 9 before deciding what were gonna do today. Thinking either sea life centre or swimming and messy morning activity. Either way were doing the disco tonight as Rory woke up telling me that he wanted to go dancing today bless him!

Having a lazy morning catching up. Kids watching telly and hubby cooking them all up a sausage sandwich. Am exited for the future now. Am looking forward to achieving my dreams and being a role model for my boys x

Yep citric acid can bring us out of ketosis different levels for different people but better not risk it. Coke zero has malic acid. It helps having it to fall back on as it makes us look more 'normal' at social events than a glass of water lol. Just wish they sold it in more places! X

I understand you're angry but I won't tell you not to be cause I think it's a good thing that you are as you'll learn from it xxx

Thank god for that, I'm guzzling the water like mad already..thanks Hun xx

Morning All, I haven't posted on here for a bit but I'm back on it after my holiday and lost all my holiday weight I put in and more!! I have got about 15 days til my break to Greece so lets see how much I can loose have lost 2lbs since yesterday )))

Total loss- 35lbs

 

[Miletaj]

Day 56 well done. How much have you lost / got left to lose? X

I've lost...33lb 2stone 5lb...9lb left takes me to 10.2.. My cd say that my BMI will be at 22 and would want me to go lower..

I'm sure I'll still go down as moving up the steps..(well you would think so.. On 810 & 1000 we'll see... At 5.7in I guess maintaining around 10.2 would be great.....

You could make fajitas with that recipe using lettuce as the wrap
