[Daffodils78]

Who's with me? Got 2 stone to lose

Also going to up my water and activity and exercise

has it worked for anyone? thanks

@Daffodils78 how are you???

I started Monday with my partner doing it too and we have both lost 5lb since Monday 😁😁 It has spurred me on to keep going as I’m desperately trying it to give in to any cravings!! Hope your all having a good day!

Rosey I think I'd have a crack at a shake only diet if it wasn't for too long.

So how many calories a day is it meant to be if you are having 2 shakes and a meal?

I have 5 weeks to lose as much as I can then I plan to lose the rest at a much slower pace..I just don't know how many cals my meal should be?

Some great losses though so well done!

I can't go back to see any names now I've started typing on my phone but to the pp who gained a lb have you tried writing down EVERYTHING that passes your lips for a few days? Maybe seeing it written down might highlight if you are going wrong. You shouldn't gain if you are minus cals so something might be off.

Madame that was me. I have a Fitbit so use the app and but EVERYTHING on there. Yesterday didn’t eat anything in the evening and finished on 915, no idea how I did that, I definitely think the heat.

So I have gained 1lb for sure. I was hoping my scales were off and bought a new pair yesterday but nope both the same... I’m worrying there’s something wrong with me now!

But llmb our weight fluctuates daily naturally anyway, due to gut contents, hydration & our hormones too. So daily weighing isn't always helpful; be patient & do it weekly instead.

Sorry llmb I didn't read your previous threads properly.
Maybe you could Kickstart your metabolism a bit with more movement or more liquid, fruit or veg?
Don't give up!!

Iv always drunk plenty of water, other than a coffee first thing water is all I drink..... as a vegetarian I do eat a lot of vegetables....

Hmmm... then you are clearly a physical & biological miracle! Just keep on going & it will happen

Ha a miracle! I feel more a freak of nature than a miracle!

Maybe time of the month? There is so many reasons I wouldn't give up just yet, you might find you lose a big amount next time instead

I don’t have periods as I’m on cerazette so I can’t blame that! Waking up on Saturday 4 lbs lighter would be nice

I reckon on average around 1200 cals a day. Main meal should be 600 cals. Can’t remember who asked x

That was me saz, do you always have 2 snacks?

Yes so far. But usually fruit 😃

How has everyone's day been?
Hope you've kept hydrated in Day 1 of the Famous Heatwave of 2018!
I almost enjoyed my Summer Strawberry shake & banana at lunchtime & am definitely enjoying ending the day on 1,600 kcal (is there a 'smug face'? If so, I own it today!)
Updates please!

Ok so I've buggered up a bit and not actually started...

But I weighed this morning and I'm 1 shake down so at least I've started now!

Hopefully the heat helps squish the hunger for everyone

Where's everyone gone?! Don't give in to the bbqs and ice cream!

Bbq and ice cream yesterday but only one ice cream I’m 1lb down. That is it. In 10 days. Pitiful!

I finished the week 4 pounds down. So pleased with that. But decided I’m going back to slimming world

Still here, too!
Strawberry shake & some 0% fat cottage cheese for lunch (well, it was going out of date!)
Bit concerned about tonight - not a bbq but we have another family over for food & alcohol. I think I can get away without too much food, but feel my willpower disappearing already when it comes to the booze!
Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine

PS Well done llmb & sazreed

Thanks rosy pitiful but better than putting it on!

Does anyone know why they don’t mention having a meal bar for breakfast and lunch as apposed to shake and one meal bar a day?

I'm having a day off today as I'm in a foul mood and meeting up with bil and sil who I like but nearly every sentence is rude or judgemental and I can't trust myself to be around them and hangry.

Good for you, MadamGrumps - it's not meant to be torture, you certainly sound like you deserve tlc to get you through the day! Hope the bil & sil event goes well for you.

Last night I did v well on food but think I may have sneaked into triple figures for the day with a long mojito & a bottle of prosecco. It was jolly good tho!
