Hi everyone! We seem to be our own little secret club which is nice
Struggled again today with a little hiccup at teatime but in general doing better than not at all. At least haven't had to undo my size 18 jeans tonight for fear of passing out! Face looks less bloated. Will weight myself tomorrow morning.

Remember; The more you drink the more you shrink!
lots of love, Me

Day 7 and all's good. So far! i am not really that hungry anymore at all. very strange feeling because i eat normally virtually non stop

kurves · 09/03/2010 10:06

Hi girls it is day four and i feel ok my sample of water flavour will be finished so i will have to get some before saturday i think i will call the counclier.

I feel ok i am actually thinkling of going to 3 cambridge meals a day and a 400 cal dinner i will start this in week 2 i worked it out to be around 850 cals per day so i am going to drop to that plann from saturday the 20th of march then stick to it until i reach my target weight then i will move back up to the plan that i am doing now.

I feel that i am doing really well considering the time of month it is as normally i would be stuffing my face with cakes and carbs by now.

I am pround to say that it is the longest that i have stuck to a plan and i feel good for it .

I went on the wii fit and weighed and it said that i had lost 8lbs that was yesturday.

my bmi was 32 it has now gone down to 30 i feel so good i will just keep at it.

i am so glad that i did not take those pills .

kurves · 09/03/2010 10:10

i wopuld be so happy if i am 12 7lbs on saturday i would be over the moon.

5inthebed · 09/03/2010 11:17

I only lost 3lbs this morning, but still, better off than on. I am on my period at the minute, so hoping it is just that.

Sticking to it again this week though.

Good luck with the weigh in tonight No4.

When is your weigh in Kurves?

Numberfour · 09/03/2010 12:43

hi again
tonight is weigh in but DH says he needs my car (one car family) at 3.30 and is not sure what time he will be back !!!!

5inthebed, was today weigh in for you?

kuves, seems you are doing really well!!

5inthebed · 09/03/2010 17:06

Yep, weigh in today and lost 3 lbs. Feel a bit deflated by a small loss after such a big one before, but hey, better off than on. Hope you manage to get to your WI tonight.

kurves · 09/03/2010 18:36

i think after you have a big loss in the second week its not so much then it picks up again any .loss is good better to lose it than to gain.

My weigh in is on saturday at 11 so i am looking forward to it. how much you lost in total 5inthebed?

Numberfour · 09/03/2010 20:05

7lb down!!

though i must confess i was hoping for 9! but wow!!! i am managing it okay. counsellor suggested i do 3 packs and green and white meal rather than 4 packs.

all good! she reckons I could be down 2st by mid May - approaching my 6th wedding anniversary!

(gosh... lots of exclamation marks!!! )

kurves · 09/03/2010 20:31

kurves · 10/03/2010 07:34

SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING GUYS MAY BE IT IS BECAUSE I AM SO HUNGRY.

Numberfour · 10/03/2010 08:08

morning! kurves, you have a menu fit for a queen today!

i am tired and not feeling great. though i do feel better having had the meal at night, you're right, 5inthebed. it is amazing how lovely ordinary tinned tuna can taste . Not a fan of cucumber, so I had tuna and asaparagus last night: a two course meal.

ooohh, i want to go to bed and go to sleep. TOTM, i am afraid. arrived earlier than expected. (why why why do we feel the need to divulge such personal stuff online to people we have never met????????????????????)

5inthebed · 10/03/2010 11:21

Apparently, periods can be a bit more frequent at the beginning of SS. Body getting used to stuff.

Well done on the loss Kurves [smile} and good luck for the weigh in.

I must buy myself some asparagus, keep forgetting when I go shopping. WOuld make a nice change to cucumber/broccoli/cauliflower.

Numberfour · 10/03/2010 17:42

i am really feeling CRAP today. Tired and Cold and not at all a happy bunny!

I am going to bed as soon as it is polite to do so!!

5inthebed, did you also not have a Feeling Grim Day a little while ago? and are you better now?

I am not poorly, just feeling a bit shit. def in ketosis, as I tested at my counsellor last night. Maybe that's what it is.

kurves · 10/03/2010 18:45

cheer up girls it will pass i had a rough day today too. I could hardly get a chance to eat and was starving and i peed so much it was so irratating i have a shake tonight as i only had one in the day .

5inthebed · 10/03/2010 19:26

Feeling grim is normal, I have it today. Its sort of like "I'll never eat food again" feeling, but it does lift, ahng in there.

I am freezing today as well, can't get warm. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

kurves · 11/03/2010 07:48

day 6 girls and feeling ok i go for my weigh in may be today as it is my ds birthday on saturday and friday is booked up and i need to get my shakes and stuff looking forward to it so i will be calling her today i had 2 slices of bread last night but going to a spinn class today so should be ok .

5inthebed · 11/03/2010 11:28

Good motivation Kurves. I've not set myself a date, as I don;t want to feel too bad if I don;t hit it. Will do 810 after my 12 weeks are up if I don't lose all my weight.

I went on one of those tremorboards yesterday. Boy am I aching today because of it. Going to try do it twice a week though, as they say you can drop a dress size in 6 weeks just using it. Sort of wobbles the cellulite off you lol. COsts £4 for a session so not too bad, might get my dad to pay for some as he is keen to help e lose weight.

Numberfour · 11/03/2010 11:51

morning!
i am feeling quite a lot better today. which is odd seeing that DS woke me up last night being sick in our bed.... poor little thing is off school today and I am alone at home with him.

not hungry at all and determined to drink more water despite drinking about 2 - 3 litres a day in the hope that that will make me feel a bit better than i did yesterday.

how is everyone else doing?
