Hello Keely and welcome to day 2 i never made it to the gym :cry:however i did stick to the diet which is a plus

I too managed to loose weight 3 years ago on slimming world i lost 8 stone and got down to size 10!!! unfortunaley i never understood that just beacuse i as slim doesnot mean i can eat what i like i could see myself getting biogger but i never did a thing just kept eating i gained it all back within a year with a added 2 stone, so I went from 19st 1 22 to 11st size 10 then back to 21st 3lb size 26 and now i am currently sat at 18st 7lbs size 20 and feel it was harder for me to do slimming world 2nd time round as i got no self control with prtions etc when it comes to food i need control it and thats why this diet is the diet for me im can finally be incontrol of what i eat i just gotta work on my frame of mind more x

Congratulations on staying 100% on Day 1... we are 1 day closer to ketosis... wahoooooo!!!
i got weighed tuesday evening, which is another good thing for me as hopefully i will always have my WI when i am 'heaviest' so to speak! What time do you have your WI?
Thursday is my night off the gym, so i am thinking i may go for a walk to keep myself occupied and not think too much about food, esp when the family are eating around me!
I did exactly the same, as soon as i was my goal weight last time i also ate exactly what i wanted, when i wanted and my portion sizes (carbs & choccy in particular) grew and grew and grew!
How are you finding the shakes? Have you tried the soups yet?

i think i would prefer 1st thing in the morning or last thing at night as prob would give the most accurate readings?!
i have been putting a bit extra water with my shakes, havent persuaded myself to try the soup yet, but have a really sweet tooth, so maybe if thats how i can cope i should stick to the sweet ones?!
fingers crossed for nice weather at the weekend so we can venture out and keep busy then!
dreading being left alone in the house with fridge/cupboards of food
hoping will power will win! I havent had a headache yet today but it didnt start until the afternoon yesteday, although soon went with a few more glasses of water
just read that the 400ml was better
pleased thats worked for you! Have you got the sticks to check to see if your in ketosis yet? Not sure whether to invest in them or not? Worried i will get a little obsessed with them (already got rid of the scales in our house, so im not constantly stood on them waiting for change lol!)

Good idead i have hid my scales under coffee table and know i wil lbe tempted so may ask my BF to hide them he has been such a rock through all this i am not cooking for him while on on SS hes looking after himself ..and so he should...lol ...but yeah great i know what you mean i can hear a crisp packet crinkle for miles ...Ketostis sticks ay where can u get them from?
You and I should be in ketosis tomorrow
another girl here is on Atkins and she too says she is in ketosis ..i was shocked as they eats loads of meat on that diet .
Really hope weather is nice if its rains I will cry....lol
yeah soups are ok my friend also sarted with me from work she al lot smaller than me only 11st 10 and 5ft 3 so will be interesting to see how we both do she only doing for 4 weeks on ss i am aiming for 3 months but like i said before day by day one at a time x x x
whats your plan for ss?

Glad he is supportive and good to hear he is now cooking for himself... think all women should try this to kick the BFs into shape... amazing how quickly they can learn to cook when they need to!
They are called ketostix and my CDC sells them but you can get them from chemists as well... think you normally have to ask at counter for them... know asda chemist sells them?!
Yeah atkins is basically no carbs and all protein... so has same kinda effects but with much more temptation! And i got really bored of chicken, tuna and eggs! lol
I will be joining you with the crying i think... def need to keep myself busy over the weekend to avoid slip ups!
May have to order soups for next time then and be brave and give them a try!
I am planning on sticking to SS for 6-8 weeks depending on how well my loss goes and then do ss+ for a month? think that will be the hardest bit for me as once i start eating i find it very hard to stop... lol!
Each day at a time is a good way to look at it... as long as we are happy with our loss before we move up to the next step thats all that matters!
How are you coping coming up to the end of Day 2? Really want to know if i am in ketosis by the end of tomorrow! Quite excited... Sad eh?!

That's the reason I started on W8 and then moved over to CD. I could not just cut down on food - I could not cut a piece of chicken off, cut a piece of cheese off - I would scoff the lot. Without even really being hungry!
I did these 2 diets because food was removed completely until I got my head in the right place and was able to see how bad I had been with food, portion size, calories and pure bloody greed mainly.
I'm not going to be the fat friend ever again, I'm not going to be sneaking into Evans as it's the only place that sells clothes in my size. I am not going to look at the size on the hangers first then "settle" for whatever is in my size rather thanwhat I "want" to wear.
I'm well on my way and the old me is far, far behind me now and she can stay there.

I always find weekends a bit easier as i can stick some DVDs on (i have almost 1000, which is handy!) and forget about the world, on weekdays at work im walking around and thinking about food!

my partner can cook but he winges that its better if i do it, i draw the line at making some of his " home" food, im darn well not cut out for making fufu, if he wants it he has to do it, i think he cooks once a week if that grrrrrrr

dont waste your money on ketostix, sometimes depending on water intake, what time of day etc you might get false readings, you will more than likely know when you are in ketosis with the yucky breath, not feeling hungry. this time round i was in ketosis on day 2, some people it doesnt happen till maybe day 4 so dont worry too much about it, its how you feel in yourself that matters

Glad you are feeling good now and that the weekend went smoothly for you (except the rain)! Wow that was a blessing in disguise then having the BBQ called off... that would have been way too tempting...
me too... the breath spray is also my best friend now! lol!
i slacked on my water on saturday for the same reason... lay ins make it harder for sure to get to the 3 litres! :break_diet:
my CDC is on holiday this week, so i wont be weighed until Tuesday 11th May... not sure if this is good or bad... good in the sense i know i will stick 100% until my weigh in but bad as i want to know if it works! lol!
sooo excited that you have your weigh in tomorrow... i will have my fingers crossed for you all day that you get the loss you aimed for! Have to let me know how you get on! GOOD LUCK
