Total Solution The Miss Mac Diary! Operation Egypt!!!

[notsoskinnymarge]

At least a sts is not putting on miss mac. Enjoy your lunch next Sunday, it will do your mind good to catch up with your sisters, no matter what anyway
Just keep plodding away till then
It has got to come off if you keep going eh ?

 

[Miss Mac]

Well I have made a bit of a decision......

On Sunday, when I got the sts, my cdc said I should perhaps add a 200 cal meal in for a week. She said my losses had slowed and by doing this, it might 'reset' my metabolism and shock it into losing again. I refused the idea as I dont think I would be able to limit myself to 200 cal and would always be pushing the boundries. I said I would just stick at it. However....

I have had a long hard think. I could plod on and have another poor weigh in on Saturday. Then I am eating on Sunday so may have another poor weigh in the week after because of that. If this was the case, I would than have to consider adding a meal as the counsellor suggested. This in essence could be losing me 3 weeks worth of time. Time that I am now running out of.

So I thought, If I eat this week, including my Sunday, try to kick start my metabolism, then start again on Monday, then I can get it all over with on 1 week as opposed to 3. If it works then great and if it dont then I have only lost a week and I then have 6 full weeks I can be 100% on and I will just have to see what happens.

I still dont think I can do the 200 cal thing, so I have decided that for this week, I am not having my packs and just eating a calorie counted 800 calories per day.

I know this might not make sense to anyone, but like I said, I have thought really hard about doing this and have decided its now or never to try the kick start. I am expecting a gain because of this on Saturday. Not because I have eaten too much but purely just because I have eaten! I am ready to take the hit this week in the hope that next week and thereafter, my losses pick up again.

I am of course worried that I will struggle to get back on it again on Monday but I have a size 14 bikini to get into so I WILL be back on it on Monday.

Hopefully, my gain wont be too horrendous.....

What about adding an extra pack instead of a 200cal meal, or having 800cals. It may be less of a temptation

Good idea but too late now Marge, I am halfway through the week. I am trying to check my weight every day though and I think I have gained a pound so far. If it stays like that I will be happy.

 

[Miss Mac]

Ok so the week of eating hasnt gone entirely to plan! No surprise there then!

I tried to stick to 800cal but that didnt quite work out. So I am getting weighed tonight by cdc so we will see what the damage is.
Then I still have lunch with my sisters on Sunday and back on it from Monday.

I always expected a gain this week whether I stuck to 800 cal or not but whatever happens, I am hoping this little theory works and I have a good loss next week.

I only have 6 weeks left after this weigh in so I really need to make them count.....

 

[Miss Mac]

So I was supposed to get weighed yesterday but......cdc forgot I had asked to be weighed yesterday and never turned up!!
She said she would come over today to do it but was pointless as I have just been out for lunch with my sister and will currently weigh at least a stone heavier!! lol

So the upshot of it is I told her I would just miss this week and go back to normal next week.

I really wanted to see how this week of eating had affected my weight though so I am a bit disappointed.
I weighed in on my scales last week though and have been weighing every day. I have seen the scales go up and down and when I checked again this morning, I was exactly the same as I was when I weighed in last Monday. So I am presuming that I have stayed the same. If this is true, then I am over the moon with that. A week of eating normally and I didnt gain!! If I can do that on holiday I will be well pleased!

Now I am hoping that this week has done the trick and I get a good loss next Sunday. Back to 100% tomorrow. I am praying I get back into it ok as I really cant afford any blips this close to my hols, I am already behind schedule with my target loss.

Heres to a successful week 12.....

Hiya,
I started the diet on Weds 22nd and it was really hard going at the beginning. For the first 2days my stomach constantly rumbled and actually hurt!!!!!!!but I stuck to it and here I am on day 5 and I feel like I've got through the worst. I had a bit of headache but nothing major. I've got 3 teenagers so I've been cooking for them every night a test in itself. I keep telling myself if I can get through week 1 and follow it 100% I could keep it up. I've just ordered next months supply and I've decided to just have shakes as I'm not enjoying the soups and bars . So if anyone is starting out on the diet, stay positive and keep going it's so worth it

Hey Leigh, reading your post was just like mine, I started Tuesday and felt I'll first few days but now day 6 feeling great and not even hungry. I enjoy the shakes and bars soups I haven't enjoyed up to now but want to try them all before I decide for sure. Do u have a goal in mind?

Hi and thank you for the encouragement

I find this diet very psycological and as long as I can get my head in the right place, I do ok.

I am pleased your first week is going well and well done for cooking for others and resisting!!

I found on exante, I had to half the soups and use the same amount of water as stated for a full packet that way they tasted more like a cup a soup.

Look forward to seeing your first weigh in - hope it is fantastic for you!

 

[Gillie653]

Miss mac I'm going to try a soup tonight with half the pack hope I enjoy it, thanks for the advice x

That's rubbish that your CDC forgot !
Hopefully, though, your week of eating will have kick started your metabolism for the packs this week

I know it was well rubbish. I was looking forward to seeing what effect the week of eating had on me. Went off my own scales in the end but I would have liked to see what hers said.

I am really hopoing I get a good loss this week. 1 to spur me on and 2 so I have more chance of getting to my holiday goal than I currently have!!

So today is back on it. I have already had all my water and just had a porridge.
Feeling a bit bloated from eating and normally that makes me not feel like eating anyway so heres hoping I have a nice easy day to ease me back into it again!!

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

If bloatedness helps get you stay on the pack, then yay for it

 

[Miss Mac]

Day 2 back on it since my week off and all is well so far.

Have been feeling actually hungry yesterday and today but hopefully that will pass.

I have had food thoughts and to be honest sometimes the only reason I havent cheated yet is because I know I only have 6 weeks left to get the weight off and time is running out too fast. So I know I cant cheat or I will never reach my goal.

I cant wait to get the first week back under my belt though and hopefully it will get easier again.

Still hoping for a good loss on Sunday although no change on my scales yet. Think Id had better keep of them now and just see what happens as I will end up sabotaging if the continue not to move!!

6 weeks till my holiday....I can do that....right.....

 

[Miss Mac]

Day 3 back on the wagon and all is still well!

I have felt like having food I must admit and I keep having to talk myself out of it! It seems to be working so far so thats good.
I am hoping still that once I get this week out of the way, my mind will be back into the swing of things.

Big motivator for me at the minute is the fact that i bought a lush bikini in a size 16 and sent the bloody thing back for a 14 so now I must fit into it!!
Why the heck did I do that!! The 16 fitted lovely aswell!

So that is what is keeping me going at present is the fact that I need to fit my big backside into a 14!! haha

I am still hoping that I will get a good loss on Sunday and that will spur me on a bit too!! I may be being optomistic but one can hope!!

Hope everyone else is doing well.....

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

I will be back with ya tomorrow Miss Mac... day one
It does take a wee while to get your heid back into it, but you have gone past the hard bit now, day 4 tomorrow, hopefully ketosis is just around the next corner.....

See ya tomorrow on the packs

 

[Miss Mac]

Bloody hell this week has been hard!!

Had food thoughts and felt hungry all week.....I eventually fell off the wagon yesterday!!!

I dont know why this week has been so hard. I even went to bed at 8.30 on Thursday to overcome the food thoughts.

So yesterday evening, got the food thoughts again, thought I managed to get over them, then they came back with a vengence about an hour later.

The result was tin of ham, 3 bags of crisps and a mini flake.

Worse thing is, I felt fine after about half the ham and should have stopped there but didnt.

I weighed this morning and luckily seemed to have stayed the same but I am not expecting to have a loss this week now.

I am now getting very down about this as I am stuck at the 14st mark and have been here for 3 weeks now and this week will be 4!!
I always seem to get stuck around this point for some reason. In the 4 weeks of hanging around this point, I should have been a stone lighter for gods sake!!

Anyway, weigh in tomorrow, will see what that brings.....

 

[Miss Mac]

Well yet another week sts!! I honestly dont know what is happening. Its like I am glued to the 14stone mark!!

That is now a whole month at that weight!!

I am now going back to basics and having only shakes for 7 days, no bars or porridge!

If last week was hard....this week is gonna be hell!!

Wish me luck.....
