I've just got on the scales & I've lost the 3lb that I had gained which is brilliant! I expected it to take a couple of days at least but I guess the amount of water I drank yesterday played a huge part in it. I somehow managed 5l yesterday, I always manage more when I'm at work though!

I've woke up with such a sore throat this morning, not sure if I'm coming down with something or if its due to all the glugging I did yesterday. I'm just having 1st shake of the day hot choc mint & I am really enjoying it, I think I've gone off all the others so I'll have to contact cdc & ask her for just all choc mint ones for next week I think! Speaking of which I better do it now cos shes coming on Friday!

Think I'll put my ticker back to where it was seen as the 3lb has shifted.

Yay Michelle

Well done on the 3lbs disappearing!!!!

well done michelle that 3 went as quick as it came. I appreciate what you mean about not liking other flavours, i ended up living on the choccie one only cause all the others were making me feel ill, mind you i have never liked any of the soups anyway. Keep it up babes.

Yay michelle!!! You are doing so well! If only I could get in that Zone! Any zone would do as long as it helps me lose this darned weight!

Thanks! I just wish the whole of my weight could dissappear overnight like that 3lb - if only eh!

I keep scale hopping, its driving me mad now & even my son thinks its great to get on the scales its a good job he's so young & thinks its a toy! I'm going to stay off until Friday now - ha, hopefully anyway!

Weather is awful today so won't be going out for a walk to the park - such a boring day this will be! I have a headache, sore throat & cold too so I feel like poo!

You're doing great Michelle! I know you feel cr@p - but just keep going if you can. This is only day 2 of my epic 're-start saga' but this is further than I've been in well over a year .... You're one of the people keeping me motivated, so hang in there chuck! We can do this!

Ps: Had to 'hide' my scales from my self in the cupboard under the stairs (it was too demoralising otherwise).... sshhhh, don't tell me!

Hello Bev - Well done on getting throug day 2! You are almost over that nasty bit now aren't you so you'll be a skinny minny again in no time!

I know how you feel with the whole restarting, I've been trying since Jan 07 on/off & finally cracked it June 08 - woo! haha. I have gone up to such an awful weight though, biggest I have ever been so this time I will be on cd for longer than I wanted to be - nobody to blame but me though!

I feel absolutely terrible tonight, eyes are itchy & watery, sore throat, back ache, headache, blocked nose! I've managed 1 shake today which I know isn't good at all but I had a dodgy stomach earlier & to be honest I don't think I can face another tonight. I did take a multi vitamin & mineral tablet though which I do every day anyway but I know thats no replacement. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel a bit better!

Off to get some paracetamol now & have an early night I think.

Hi michelle

you are doing really well hun - need to try and have all 3 shakes tho - otherwise the calories you get are that low that your body will go into starvation mode and it will be even harder for you to lose the weight!
Hope you are feeling better today

Morning

I know I need to have all 3 shakes but last night I couldn't stomach anything at all, I felt quite sick & just went to bed in the end. Feeling a bit better this morning, had 1l & a shake so far, stomach still feeling a bit tender but not half as bad as yesterday. I'd better go & do some cleaning my house is a poopit & I keep tripping over toys!

Michelle x

feeling sick - I can understand!! I have had a yucky tum the last day or two aswell!

lol at tripping over toys - I know that feeling too! Emily's are EVERYWHERE at the mo!!

Hi Michelle,

Poor you, you really don't sound well (sounds like the all too contagious 'summer flu')- but good on you for still doing your best and not giving in to the evil food demons that tell us "oooh, you're hurt - stuff your face, oooh you're ill - stuff your face, oooh it's thursday - stuff your face" LOl! I packed my food demons' bags and kicked his a$$ out!!!

I really can't believe it's day 3 ... and so far so good. I'm a bit worried about the weekend (my other danger zone) but I'm hoping to weigh myself on saturday morning and with a result, aaaaany result (at this point even a pound will be welcome!) hopefully that'll see me through saturday and sunday. Actually, I'm kind of dreading getting on the scales at all now I think about it ... for some reason, no matter how good the loss, it makes me lose my focus , I know, I'm a weird one.

I so hear what you're saying about how much EXTRA time I have to put in, thanks to my own self-defeating behaviour. But ho hum. It is, what it is - & we can really do this a day at a time. Best of luck to us!

Hiya Bev!

I'm feeling much better today although still have a bit of a cold & still got the back ache. I must admit I ate 1 of my son's turkey dinosaurs last night but managed to stop myself scoffing the lot so I doubt 1 has done any damage.

Well done you on getting to day 3, hope today is just as easy for you, you seem to be in the right frame of mind about cd at the moment so you'll sail through & be a skinny minny in those size 14's in no time!

Cdc is coming this morning in about an hour I haven't seenher in 2 weeks & according to my scales this morning I have lost 7lb since seeing her last so I'm pleased with that.

I've only lost 2lb this week though so its a bit bleh compared to the first 2 weeks when I got on the scales. When I think about it though I have lost 1st 1lb in 3 weeks so it makes me feel a whole lot better thinking about it like that rather than week by week as I know the loss' each week will slow down now.

I'm glad its the weekend as I have to work, not that I like going to work on a weekend but it does help quite a bit with staying on track, I also manage to drink a lot more water while at work aswell. Hope you manage to get through the weekend Bev, this will be your test won't it? Have you weighed yourself this week so far?

Michelle x

Cdc has just been I weigh 2lb more on her scales than I do on mine. We checked them against each other because my elec ones give me loads of dif readings. Anyway she put me down as what it says on her scales but for my ticker I'm going to continue with my scales so I know where I'm at when I update on Fridays.

Hi Michelle,

& well done on losing those 7lbs - my scales are different from my CDC's too, but I have to live with mine (so to speak) so I'll go with what mine say! (ps: why do their scales never read as I lost more? sods law)

I'm almost dreading this weekend, weekends can be pants for dieting. But I promised myself I'd weigh myself tomorow morning, so that should keep me on the straight and narrow today - then I'll try the same self-brainwashing for sunday.

I'm glad you're feeling better - keep on keeping on, huni! 1st 1lb is no small feat and you've done that, given that gift to yourself - WELL DONE!!!!!!

Ooooh, roll on 3 weeks for me! I'm off to face the 'Tescos Challenge' - wish me luck!

Bev xx

Oooops, I've been naughty all weekend! Went for a meal on Sat & today I had Sunday lunch & some walkers baked & a ripple - I'm dreading getting on the scales in the morning as I didn't choose my food wisely at all! Nevermind, gotta live a bit don't you! Back on in the morning though, I have the water at the ready!

How did you do over the weekend Bev? Better than me I hope!

Michelle x

Ahem(shamefaced) ... okay, honestly? was so desperate for spicy avouries I had some lamb, and some chicken. Yep, pretty sure I knocked my a$$ out of ketosis, but I went right back to SS on sunday and I'm two shakes and 3 litres down today. So far, so good . I'm really not going to feel out of sorts about it, it's still day 6 of SS and I think if I hadn't put a bit of protein in my mouth I may have gone mad!!!
At least I managed to talk myself out of descending on the sunday roast and devouring it like a ravening beast

Not feeling quiiiite as solid as last week but hopefully, by tomorrow I'll be back to full strength (hate mondays at the best of times, anyway!)

So smack-smack for both of us, and we move on .... hope you're back on the straight and narrow too today! We can do this if we stay focused, hun!
