The shrinking violets official thread - Team 1

Well done Gem, you are doing so well! Keep at it. I don't get weighed for another 2 weeks but know I'm not losing it. Can tell by my jeans. Gotta keep trying though. Got a litre of H2O in front of me now!

I didn't lose a stone hun, only a few lbs. I wasn't really doing it properly though lol x

5lbs off for me this week! Whoopeeee! x
 
this is sooo hard to start up and get in the right mindframe.


SO VERY TRUE. It is starting and getting your head right. Once that is done it is easy. In fact you know you are back on the wagon when you are doing it and it feels natural and easy. I can remember that feeling so well. Remember the exact mindset, the things that where going round my head, just need to get there again.
 
You ladies don't know how happy I am to be back in this cozy little group. Gotta shift this weight. Those last 30lbs are soo hard, I was hoping it would be just the last 10
 
Yes, looks like the grass grew over that path!! boy i have to take the weed-whacker now. Forgot how hard this diet was, esp the first few days. argghh
 
Me too. I have just been updating my ticker and that is such a wake up call. I had just 17lbs to goal and now it is 38lbs to the same goal! Eeek, I have actually more to lose than I have lost now. At least I have stopped it going up any more I suppose!

YUP!! sounds like me!! but as Em says, just focus forward.. so i'm pledging 21 days of no cheat! that's exactly the time i have until i meet my cdc
 
So yesterday was a 100% day for me. I generally don't have too much prob following CD during the week, it's weekends that kill me. But I only have 3 weekends during this 21 day stint! i can do it, I have before and my mind's made up, and I'll have to repeat this to myself all weekend but i'll survive!!
How is everyone doing today?
 
I have problems with weekends too, enlightenme2. I tend to do SS+ at weekends.

I'm doing good, getting through the water! x
 
did great today, had my water, 4cd prods, but today is still a hungry day. i didn't exercise because I woke up hungry and decided i wasn't gonna push my limits. The real test will be tomorrow night through sunday. i really have to fool myself that it's not weekend. I really want to surprise myself and get a great loss this week
 
I'm having an awful day today! I have constant cramp in my right leg - it kept me awake most of the night. I also keep feeling dizzy whenever I stand up. I'm taking it easy today, in front of the TV with my water beside me!
I had a sneaky peak at the scales and I seem to have lost 3lbs already this week. Official weigh in on Monday! I'm get ever closer to the 15st bracket!!!

Frances, how are you doing? x

Hang in there enlightenme2! x
 
ooh Gem, sorry about your legs! Isn't it funny how every restart on CD your body reacts differently. Two years ago, I would see stars every time I bent down to change my little one, another time i was constantly hungry AND cold, and last time I had energy for two but felt the need to force feed my family everything I couldn't eat AND had TOTM 3weeks straight despite being on Depo. This time, I'm "head hungry", but not cold, not tired but not over energized either... just OK and determined.

right about now is when I start failing... and failing miserably until Sunday night! :cry: but today, for some reason, I don't really feel like it. I had a soup at 11ish, and am enjoying a porridge right now, which will leave me with 2 more meals for tonight. During the weekends, I think the only way i can survive is to skip brkfst altogether and wait it out til lunch so that i can double up on packs in the evening. For some bizarre reason it doesn't affect me on the other days of the week. But i'm going for 18 more days until I meet my CDC and possibly move up plans, so that is really keeping me straight...
Hope everyone is having a great 100% day
 
It was real quiet here over the weekend... but I survived! yeah me! I hadn't done a 100% weekend in 7-8 months i think. I've got 2 more to go until my planned one evening off. Hope everyone is doing OK.
 
Good morning folks! Hope ya'll come back soon coz it's quite empty here. Well, I was able to control myself ALL weekend, I didn't drink enough water yesterday though, but hey, can't be perfect on all fronts. So I have 15 days to go on my 21 days 100%. I'm doing good... this week shouldn't be too much of a problem until I hit friday night again. Added exercise back to my daily routine, so I expect to be a little hungrier than usual this week, but I have a feeling I'll deal with it fine.
 
I'm here and another 3.5lbs off for me!!! So nearly at the 6st lost mark!!!

I thought I had posted over the weekend but obviously not. Whoops!!! :rolleyes:

Wow!! that's great! how do you do it? and you do SS+ on sat and sunday or friday too? just wondering, I just lose so slowly!!
 
I just do 3 packs a day, 1.5l of water, a can of Coke Zero and then I do SS+ Fri-Sun. Not sure why I'm losing so quickly this time really! x
 
i do the Coke zero too, it's my saving grace, 1,5l of water? wow, i'm at 3 i thought 2.25 was the minimum. Well your body obviously is OK with it. You do just the choc tetras right?
 
Hey Gem, I was thinking about you with all the upheaval in Egypt. You were supposed to take a trip out there sometime soon were you not?
