Are you exercising? I am, and I don't think I can do the lemon detox, but I am on a low calorie diet, snacking when I need a bit more energy.

Tell us more about your detox!

Kafka · 09/06/2008 20:09

No, good to have you on board,

sort of managed it today, fell off the wagon with a mars bar but other than that have done the detox, thinking about eating a cabbage before I go to bed but trying not to
I have to loose this weight

How has your day been?

Hi I stayed on plan for the most part doing a low-calorie, semi-detox (no dairy, meat, caffieine, wheat) but took a bit of dd's chicken nugget. Not too much calorie-wise, but that was meat/wheat/dairy right there.

I'm drinking lots and lots of water. I suppose I had about 1100 calories. A lot more than you!

I felt I had a lot of energy yesterday, and I woke up early today. We'll see....

I've been losing about 2 lbs a week. Would like to increase that for a few weeks. Sometimes I think a lemon detox with no exercise is the way to go, but I really want to build muscle , which will also raise my metabolic rate (so I'm told(.

How are you today?

kafka · 10/06/2008 21:00

ok been at work and find it easier not to eat, in fact did not eat just the lemon drink and had a little bit when I got home

my now regular mars bar!!! and a few bits but not much, hungry though

but want to loose weight for the holiday as will feel better in my self

Keep going stickytape sounds like you are losing steadily, if you keep it up at this rate by the 4 July you will have lost 8 pounds. I have to keep going at home tomorrow which I find harder.

what sort of exercise are you doing?

so what is the lemon detox?

kafka · 10/06/2008 22:11

google it and it is the strange syruppy drink which you have with lemon juice and cayenne pepper - sounds not very nice!!

maple syrup diet?

stickytape · 11/06/2008 17:20

how's it going kafka?

sigh, I want to lose MORE than 8 lbs by July 4... but I'll take the 8 lb loss if i can get it. Thanks for encouragement.

Exercised a lot today-- downside is that I am very very hungry and could consume far more than the few hundred calories I burned.

Maybe I should do the detox... I have so many dinner/lunch commitments coming up. I manage to be very good while going out but it's still more food than normal. Up till now was just going out once a fortnight, but now circumstances make it once or twice a week. Dinner, so can't really sit with people and not eat all night.

vent over!

Yes thats it chocolate spiders.

Not brilliant today, but still at diet level, back on wagon tomorrow as at workn - have to be, cannot countenance holiday at this weight.

Know what you mean re social food events, they usually floor me too.

I too am very hungry tonight.

Have to keep going....

Great job... Do you feel better at all in terms of sleep, complexion, etc? Less bloated?

I have 2 dinners out this weekend and I'm not looking forward to it. One involves going out for drinks too-- but I'm just going to have to have water I guess.

2nd dinner is quite early (with kids) I suppose I could skip the food altogether. My calorie controlled portions at home are tiny not sure I have the willpower to eat that little at a restaurant and I have a weigh-in on Monday.

Good luck!
