7lb in 7 days (yes, I know)

[nodogsinthebedroom]

Weighed myself this morning and I'm the heaviest I've ever been .

Yes, I KNOW crash diets are not a sustainable solution but I'm going on holiday next week, after which I'll be away on various trips for the next month, so the plan is the short sharp shock treatment this week, which will hopefully give me motivation to keep up with healthy eating over the holidays (plus plenty of walking etc) and thereby not turn into jabba the hutt by the time I get back in September.

So, it's 800 kcals/day, Jillian Michael's "Ripped in 30", loads of water and maybe some shitter tea.

Anyone with me?

Shitter tea! I remember that thread!

Shitter tea! Amazing thread

whats the tea??

Sorry for the ridiculous link

Yes! Me! Exactly the same situation except I've got 2 weeks until holiday.

My plan: 1000 calories a day (I'd die on 800. Hats off to everyone on the original shitter thread. I do not have your stamina )

Maybe some exercise. What can I do at home with three needy kids on their school holidays?

Lots of water and black clothes coffee.

And brutal determination. I've got my baggy shorts on and they're tight and I've got a massive muffin top. And let's not even talk about the cellulite.

So far today I've had an apple and a banana and 2 black coffees. I'd better be 8 stone tomorrow

Also no shitter tea for me

I'm going to buy shitter tea tomorrow. I'd forgotten about it. I could do with pooing out some holiday weight

Signing up - getting married in 16 days....

How effective is this tea?

Well I've finished the day on 885 calories probably still full from yesterday's carb fest

Took the kids out for a walk after tea and resisted the ice lollies they had when we got back

Will update with weigh in tomorrow

The tea can be VERY effective

Stay close to a toilet.

I've still got an old box of shitter's tea in the cupboard, I'd forgotten all about it. I never had the dramatic results people talk about, it was very disappointing I wasn't mad on the taste so didn't try very many times though.

Oh great, it's nice to have company .

So, yesterday's starting weight was 10st 7.2lb.

Came in at just about 810 kcals, plus one tea (which, ahem, did its job)

Weight this morning: 10st 6.2lb

So that's a stay at least. Can't do my exercise video this morning unfortunately, as we have workmen coming, but will go for a long walk and try to fit it in later.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Vivienne - I've never tried the tea on a sustained basis.. not in work until Tuesday so will try having it every night till then and see how it goes (not sure I want to risk it before an hour long commute..)

Fuck it, going shopping this afternoon!

If you are looking for speedy weightloss....I started the Cambridge weightloss diet three weeks ago at 12 stone and I've lost 16lbs already and my stomach is flatter than its been for years!!!
You need to follow the diet plan properly but it is the most effective diet I have ever tried!
Obviously as with all diets it only works if you are careful how you reintroduce foods but I am so so pleased with my short term results!!!

Well done Wuthering - that's an amazing loss!

If I was sticking to this for longer I might consider Cambridge but won't have time to see a consultant etc before heading off on holiday next Friday.

8 st 13 yesterday morning
8 st 11.6 this morning

Got food planned for today too. Am awestruck by my organisation.

High fives all round. Let's keep losing!!

Half a chocolate brownie fell into my mouth yesterday afternoon but I didn't descend into eating All The Food and ended on 1124. So all good. How's everyone doing?

Where was the original thread about the tea? I'm intrigued!

I can't get the link to work. What's shitters tea... I need this in my life

Well done slightly! Great start! Where are you going on holiday?

I was a bit over my 800 yesterday - was absolutely starving by the evening and ate two massive bowls of vegetables. Managed a 6 mile walk and a Jillian Michaels workout though, which I was pleased with.

10st 3.8 this morning.

pinkhorse I will try to dig it out and link.. it is a good read.

Good luck!!

Above is the original "shitter tea" thread. The tea is "Slimmatea" and they sell it in Holland and Barrett etc. It's basically tea with senna in it, ie a laxative, so not exactly a healthy way to lose weight long term but desperate times etc.
