wow thats brilliant, well done! you'll be in skinny jeans before you know it!
Dulcolax was invented by the devil to hurt people and let them know what happens if you get severe food poisining lol
Thank you all I've never lost this much in one week. I was very happy until I saw my reflection in my friends conservatory windows - reminded me I still have a long way to go.
I start volunteering in the charity shop tomorrow and I'm quite excited. I just hope it's not too much standing because I get an awful back ache and my knees and ankles start hurting if I stand for long periods of time. It will be good to get out and about and socialising with new people though.
I'm going to weigh in again tomorrow for the start of the May challenge but then not weigh again until the 31st May. It's usually during weeks 2 and 3 that I give up a diet because the numbers aren't what I want them to be. As long as I lose 12-14 lbs each month I am happy. I don't need to know if one week I only lose 1 but the next I lose 6. The 1 would be enough to make me quit. I have removed the temptation of food and I can do the same with the scales. I am very focused and motivated right now and would prefer to stay that way.
I've not thought about food at all - not been tempted or craved anything. I'm really in the zone and it's been a very long time since I felt like this.
I keep missing pack number 3 (missed it again today) - my goal this week is make sure I eat all 3 packs every day!
I'm off to bed now - will catch up tomorrow. Night x
Oh dear!!! So I failed again!! I have spent most of May off Exante and feel really bad for it. I am so disappointed with myself. Why did I give up?! All that hard work undone :sigh:
I'm am starting again tomorrow. Had a huge blow out today and feel sooooo sick...I am actually looking forward to that empty feeling again and being in control.
I will weigh in tomorrow morning and see what damage has been done.
Welcome back hun.
Don't beat yourself over it.
Today is a new day you can do it.
Stay strong this time we are all here to help.just one post away.
Good luck.
Thanks guys but I failed miserably again!! Why is it sooo hard to re start?! My mum called and asked if we would like to go out for lunch - I didn't even hesitate in saying yes!
Traditional starting day for me tomorrow with it being a Monday. I have sorted out my packs so I know exactly what I am having for the next week. I am about to take my measurements which is something I don't usually bother with in the hope that it will motivate me when I see the measurements getting smaller.
I did weigh in this morning and I was 18 st 7.2 so not a total disaster!! I was actually quite surprised I hadn't put more on....maybe this is why I allowed myself another day off plan?! Anyway I have probably gained a bit more today after scoffing a 200g bar of the new marvellous creations milk chocolate cookie nut crunch by cadburys.
Todays weight - 18st 7.6lbs which is a gain of 1.8lbs in the last month. It's not a massive gain but I could be more than a stone lighter than this if I had stuck to plan :sigh:
I have had a cup of coffee and 500ml of water so far and already the frequent toilet trips have started! I am going to try and hold out until lunch time for my first pack so that I'm not so starving later on. Not hungry at the moment but it is only 9.30am!
Hi Becka, The important thing is that you have recognised that enough is enough, and have decided to do something about it. Of course, it's better if we stay on the wagon, but the next best thing to that is being able to get back on it again quickly and decisively if we fall off! I wish I had done that when I started regaining weight after losing a lot a couple of years ago, but I buried my head in the sand and literally undid everything I had worked so hard for. You've got the right attitude. Best of luck with the re-start.
