Oh, and I'm still fat!!!

Sparrowlegs248 · 01/10/2019 10:23

Ah thank you!! I feel slimmer, but also still fat! If I really go for it I might get 3.5lbs off this week to make a stone!!

whatthewhatthewhat · 01/10/2019 10:37

Whoa... I feel, like super mega depressed today. I seriously think it's all the diet drinks :-( weather NOT helping

Yeah, I hate when you've lost weight and you FEEL lighter, and then you look in the mirror... haha 😢 got to keep going or nothing will change

Let's keep focussed x

Hi, what's VCLD?!
I just did the Whole 30 for 30 days and lost 7kg, 12% body fat and 10cm off waist and 10cm off hips-- but now have had a week off and back to eating like a twat.
Just need a kick in the arse to keep going. Want to lose another 7-10kg (sorry am metric!)...
So desperate for motivation but bizarrely everyone going 'ooh well done you look great' makes me want to eat crisps. Grin

feellikezerobucks · 01/10/2019 14:09

@whatthewhatthewhat it has garlic mayo 😍

whatthewhatthewhat · 01/10/2019 14:33

@mynamechangemyrules very low calorie diet (apparently, if you stick to it! 🤣) basically food replacement packs

Oooh, I LOVE mayo 😢😢

Sigh, could really just fall into a bottle (or two) of red wine...

Can I join you all? I started exante yesterday for the second time. I lost 5 stone between October and June on it, but holidays and illness meant that I stopped. I've gained just over a stone back and gave myself a stern talking to on Sunday! Started yesterday at 14 st 4. Want to get as close as possible to 11.5 stone by Christmas!

boredboredboredboredbored · 01/10/2019 16:29

@zoballina wow you did absolutely amazing! Did you just do shakes for all of that time? I know its hard to get back on track but you've done so well you'll lose that quick enough.

I ordered some of the fast 800 shake mix from the Michael Moseley website. Main reason that they are lower carbs and sweetener that Exante. Well they are truly rank!!!! The only upside is that I have had 2 shakes today and not feeling in the least hungry. Hunger is strange isnt it? Sometimes ravenous and other times I can coast all day on very little.

feellikezerobucks · 01/10/2019 16:39

@zobalina77 wow! That was such a great loss and not much regained, welcome 🤪

zobalina77 · 01/10/2019 16:45

I stuck to exante for most of the time, shakes bars and meals, but I had a bit of time off over Christmas. Hopefully the gain will come off quickly.

Not heard of the fast 800 shake mix, I'll give that a miss if it's foul!!

boredboredboredboredbored · 01/10/2019 19:10

@zobalina77 That's amazing...that stone will be gone in no time at all 👍🏻

Well I've had a very good day. 2 rank shakes and had chicken kebabs for tea (chicken with courgette & mushroom). Drank lots of water & feeling positive. Got 3 days off now so that's going to be tough 😬

whatthewhatthewhat · 01/10/2019 20:21

@zobalina77 did the choc cookies make you really farty? (Asking for a friend... 🤣🤣🤣)

OP posts:
zobalina77 · 01/10/2019 21:39

@whatthewhatthewhat yes, all the bars make me farty. You can tell your friend so 🤣

Elzbells · 01/10/2019 23:36

So glad to see everyone doing so well. Sadly I lost my nan last week so doing a diet was the very last thing I wanted to do. Have literally drunk away my feelings with wine. Funeral is done now so back on it tomorrow - going to take it day by day till Xmas and try and get this 3 stone off.

whatthewhatthewhat · 01/10/2019 23:45

@Elzbells that's terrible. Hope you're ok.

Elzbells · 01/10/2019 23:48

Thank you I'm ok, she was 94 but it was still a shock.

She always told me I was perfect (when I'm clearly not) so I'm going to lose the weight and get healthy in her memory ❤️
