Going to weigh on Wednesday. After dulcolax!

Well done top losers!

Seconding the wild applause. Well done ladies!

And now for my walk of shame....

Shocking, shocking THREE pound GAIN.

If anyone saw my post yesterday, this is what happens when you start the day off with toast and marmalade, then proceed to fall off the wagon for the rest of the day.

I am a bit shocked, as I gained this three pounds literally in 24 hours during my mum's visit.

Serve me right.

<dons hair shirt, self flagellates>

<joins in applause>

I'm going to weigh in tomorrow after weekend of painkillers and two chocolates. I'm jumping back onto wagon with loads of energy and enthusiasm.

Stay the same for me. Arse.

novelty can I borrow your hair shirt when you're done please?

Did have a surprise post breakfast poo, so am tempted to weigh myself again tomorrow.

Dragging my lardy backside out running now.

Oh and joining in the applause as well as the self flagellation. Well done ladies!

2lb off this week for me, so that's a stone since 7 January

Stayed the same this week (or if I am being really pedantic, gained smth like 0.3lb) - and that's without cheating. Dread to think what would happen if I was to cheat.

I am thinking maybe I need to cut out dairy all together. If I don't lose anything this coming week might try cutting out or at least reducing yogurts/ricotta that I have been eating.

Invested in some fairly expensive chinese jasmine tea ordered online from a fancy tea shop. It was smth like £10 for 100g but so worth it. Makes a really nice eavening treat.

Marks place on shiney new thread.

1lb off for me. I was going to eat a chocolate mint last night which I found lurking in the bottom of the fridge, left over from xmas, but I forgot.

Wish I could poo - dreamt about pooing last night I'm sure my food is all stacking up inside me Sorry about the TMI.

After 2 days, I have started spotting again wish it would just end.

A friend asked this morning how my weigh in went, told her Id gained, and that ive basically stayedthe same now for 3 weeks and she said "its not really working fr you is it?" andnow I feel crap I had no come back.

If it wasnt for the health benefits I have got from this, I think I would be caving in about now.

Well done to all the losers

Anaisa - don't forget we've just been in the 'difficult' weeks, so not necessarily that you are doing anything 'wrong'. Give it another week and see what happens.

I didn't weigh this morning because I forgot in my hurry to get to the gym. But looking at myself I doubt I've lost anything this week. Will see ...

Good morning. Well done for all losses this week. I'm down to 177.5lb. I have tried adding it into the spreadsheet but I'm having to use my phone as the network is down at work (IT company, what IT company) and I think its screwed up my %'s. Can someone with better knowledge of the spreadsheet please amend for me? I'll buy you a carb free cake?!

Morning. 1lb off here too. Will update spreadsheet later when on laptop.

Morning all. 1.75lbs off here, feeling very pleased. And can report no fainting or cramp last night, so things are looking up!

2 eggs with cheese and spinach for breakfast (can't eat eggs without cheese, they taste... eggy) and two cups of coffee with cream, but that's it on the dairy front for today.

Lunch will be cold lamb and salad (lots) and mayonnaise and dinner is courgette and leek 'pasta' with smoked salmon cooked in. Yum.

Morning same as last week too, but to be honest Im glad to see it 'sticking' rather than how my weights usually been - bit on, bit off, on, off etc etc Seems I stay a weight for a couple of weeks, drop a little then stay at that for a bit etc which Im happy enough with today.

B- scrambled egg with butter
L- Not sure yet, poss halloumi and salad
D - Going to attempt the stilton and celeriac soup!

Blackaffronted : why not stop telling people what you've lost in a week but just say, "I've lost nearly a stone in 4 weeks". It's still very impressive!

Be kind to yourself!

marking place.

Pretty bird that's amazing!

Morning everyone

I sort of fell by the wayside thread wise last week but had a good week food wise

However I stepped on the scales on Friday to be greeted with a 3 stone gain...thankfully due to faulty scales but it means I haven't been able to weigh which I'm gutted about - seeing the downward trend keeps me motivated.

So I can't update the spreadsheet ATM but will continue with the WOE.

Could someone give me some advice please?
I am behind all of you, I've just done 2 weeks of bootcamp.
I lost 9 pounds and am thrilled, totally. I have more energy, my clothes fit better, I am enjoying the food.
My DH has a lot to lose, 2.5 stone.
He has been eating the same food as me, but has lost 8 pounds. Actually writing that down looks good, but he lost 7 pounds the first week and was thrilled and was so excited to weigh in this morning but had barely lost 1 pound this second week. He is really disappointed.

So my question - does this sound disappointing to you?
Could it be - he is eating a good bit of cheddar cheese, like 2 fingers width with every lunch
or - he finds it hard to drink a lot of water as he needs to pee constantly and his job makes it hard for him to get to the toilet. He has been getting at least 2 litres, but should be more.
Is it portion size? we've been having 3 egg breakfasts with butter, lovely big salads (chicken/ bacon and avocado, lots of spinach leaves,with italian dressing) for lunch, fab dinners, eg 1 pork chop in butter, fried mushrooms, turnip chips

Some guidance would be wonderful, thank you.
I think I wont relax into bootcamp lite til his weight loss "kicks off", I dont mind another 2 weeks of bootcamp.

(We have both used ketostix and are in ketosis, we think)

Jumping in to mark my place and record a (small) loss after all. Weighed myself before loo stop - amazing what a difference it can make - tmi
