I give up. Back to 11st 7. I keep losing the same two pounds. I need to do something different. It's so depressing. Really down.
Special day today and have a surprise happening. God knows what but hope it doesn't involve food other than 🎂

I believe the antibiotics and biscuit diet is an excellent one as the woosh fairy has visited and I have lost 3lbs overnight! 11st dead and almost back to the start of the month, I think I will really struggle for my -7lbs this month, but any loss would be good tbh!

Soft It is hard when the scales don't respond to good work, could you try a liquid fast for a few days smoothies and soups only? See how that dose for you? I find by changing things up then ever now and then you can tempt the woosh fairy back into your life!

Hi everyone, just checking in. Not much to say. Trying not to eat rubbish.

poorpaws 21000 steps is amazing! I managed 20000 on Saturday but have never got more than that (and the last few hundred involved me going up and down the stairs a few times!)

lastqueenofscotland · 12/04/2017 12:58

I'm not weighing till Friday!
Curious though as managing my longest even golden streak

HairsprayBabe · 12/04/2017 13:55

Soft I'm similar, I keep hovering at 155-6lb (I think that's 11st1 / 2?). I can lose 4lb then creep back to 155, sometimes I then go over (like now) and have to creep down.

Obviously I just haven't found the right approach for sustainably eating less, or, eating the right amount for me. Trying again...

lastqueenofscotland · 12/04/2017 17:15

Hairspray save some brownie for a friendly scott?!

Stellar67 · 12/04/2017 18:32

Hairspray that sounds delicious and you know we will need recipes!

FreeNiki · 12/04/2017 18:42

ive eaten nothing but sugar today. i am falling off wagon big time.

Softpebbles · 12/04/2017 20:28

Before. So similar to me. I'm finding it so hard. It's got me down terribly. It's my birthday and it's been shit. Largely because of my mood. 😥

poorpaws · 12/04/2017 21:00

Hairspray what time shall I arrive on Friday? I've got wine. That meal sounds amazing.

Really messed up today and so cross with myself. Bloody bastard chocolate...

beforeihit30 · 12/04/2017 21:14

Aw Soft me too (birthday!). Especially with people bringing chocolates or cakes and stuff. Just felt like a bloated fatty for a week Blush but I'm feeling a little bit better now, second day of making better choices. I try and think about where I'll be in six months if I keep going, and how nice that will feel.

I expect it to take some time to figure out what normal / sustainable is for me. I have about just over a stone to lose to get to where I'd like to be (maybe 16lb?), but I need to do it in a way where I can just maintain that easily so I think there is trial and error in that. I used to be that weight so racking my brains as to what / how I used to eat!

Time to be all cheesey - we got this Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 12/04/2017 23:53

I have a weekly loss to announce.

Happy birthday for yesterday Soft! Hope you managed to salvage it in the end and have a nice time.

Fast day today. I have a quinoa and edamame bean salad to eat late afternoon, and I'm planning to fill up on coffee until then. Weighing in either Friday or Saturday

Stellar67 · 13/04/2017 07:23

Happy Birthday Soft and Before.

I'm wondering if we need some sort of order or party in the best thread on mn â„¢. Everyone seems lost.
I'm not the best myself. But I give it a go every day.
There's a 14 day keto kickstarter for free on Amazon just now if anyone's interested?

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 13/04/2017 07:27

Ah sorry I missed that it was also Before's birthday! Happy belated birthday to you too!

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 13/04/2017 07:28

Did you turn 30 by any chance Before?

HairsprayBabe · 13/04/2017 08:02

Morning all I am full of the joys of spring 10.12!
