Beelishy's VLCD Weight Loss Adventure!!

Morning! Its Wednesday already?

STS this morning...246.4 - TOTM really needs to hurry up and start if it means to because...ugh. Feel yuckie. lol

Thanks everyone...it really was a crap day but yesterday was a lot better. And Zoes back to herself today. Sadly they both still have colds :( ...hoping that shifts soon!

Sitting having a coffee now, trying to plan my meals for today. 2 lots of pancakes for sure but not sure about dinner. I had a S&S chilli and a bit of cauliflower last night. It was nice but I think I want to try to do 3 porridge packs. Or maybe 2 porridge and scrambled eggs like I had the other night. Hmm. I dont want to get in the habit of having food and then let other things trickle in. I ' ll think about it....
 
Im just doing the simplicity now because making a low carb meal teases me and makes me want 'real food'. At least i can still have a bit of veg tho as an extra. Yippee! I hope you feel a bit better soon kelly xoxo
 
Ive been STARVING all morning. TOTM be damned. So rather than binge...I decided to just make my eggs NOW. Im stuffed beyond belief. I had 2 eggs and an egg white, a slice of tesco cheese slices and mushrooms all scrambled. I put it all into MFP first though and as it stands, and is i have 2 porridge packs....i will be at 751 cals and 46 cals. So well within range. naughty, I know. but bleh. TOTM...really really needs to just do its thing and go away. lol. ive been spotting....barely....for 3 days. and nothing. so annoying. and makes me insanely hungry. took me a couple of days to figure out why i was feeling so so hungry all of a sudden. anyway....its gone cloudy and its cooler today than it has been. good day to crawl under the duvet. the girls being sick, even better reason to have a nap soon. and lord knows im exhausted. these nights of broken sleep are seriously getting to me. *yawn*

how is everyone doing?
 
Ive heard that the diet can make our periods irregular. Had a Hazelnut shake for breakfast and for lunch i am going to have spicy spagetti with 100g of frozen micro veg (they are a godsend!) Im rather hungry but im going to wait out a bit longer so i can last the full day x
 
hey girlfriend well done on the new lowest weight :D

Hope you and the babies get a nice nap this afternoon :(

I made pancakes with a strawberry shake this morning it tasted kind of like when you toast marshmallows as I kind of burnt the outside a bit! it was quite nice though, a bit different :)
 
Lou, Lou, the pancake queen! haha

Morning! Its thursday and yesterday I bingey bingey-bingebinged. Lmao. Oh man. TOTM has finally come but I just went a bit off the rails yesterday. Put it this way...the girls and I went to bed (we co-sleep in our big superking bed! loooves it) at around 10:30 (they had naps and slept quite a bit yesterday so come bedtime, they were still wide awake. lol) last night and by 11:30 they were asleep and i was sitting on the end of the bed, in the dark, with a grilled cheese sandwich. Think "my prescioussss". Yeah. Like that. HAHAH CREEPY FOOD SMUGGLER, hello! And this morning I had a look (oh. Im only up 2lbs today 248) on S&S website and see that its 5 packs a day (plus optional veg allowance) that they suggest for over 17 st people. This is what confused me last time I did S&S. If you plug in a normal day's packs....so for me it would be 3 oatmeal and 2 chili, say. that alone without the veg allowance is already over on carbs and cals and the red is flashing like WOO WOOO YOU FAIL! hahah. So how does that work then? How do you get into ketosis on 5 packs? So using my handy-dandy MFP, I plugged in 3 S&S oatmeal and 2 spagbol and 200g iceberg lettuce. comes to 801 cals and 84 carbs. Then I plugged in 3 exante apple and cinnamon porridge, 1 S&S spag bol and 200g of lettuce and that is 805 cals, 77 carbs. Thats as close as I can get it as theyre different packs. So Im going to do that today. And see what happens in the morning. I love playing about with stuff. HAHA. Oh and I did email S&S and ask this very question and no one ever got back to me. HA.

So we shall see.
 
I think you need to change the settings on your meal planner. (Ive just had a look for you) Go onto the meal planner and log in. On the top right it says "update your account" click that the go onto "edit personal stats" on the "my daily calories section" you will need to choose 5 packs. I hope this helps you out. Sorry but im not much of a computer wizz myself. Have a good day today. naughtynaughty you for eating the sandwhich, come on we can do this together xoxox
 
Having my last porridge pack and a coffee now. Will have my spag bol over salad (i know i know.its weird)...well...prob just lettuce...tonight. Stuck to the plan for today...perfectly so far. I need to get another 2L of water down though. Although I realised I still had a about 800ml in the bottle from yesterday so I started with that this morning. So ive had more than my usual 4L...or i will have by the time Im done.
 
Morning.

TOTM finally started properly last night. And although I feel bloated and uncomfortable, Im glad to just get it over with. I put my hoodie on this morning and it was tighter around hips/tummy so I KNOW im holding water. Which is why it was no surprise that I sts - 248.4 (up .2 technically. lol) -ugh. feel craaappp.

So nothing else happening. Other than desperately trying to figure out a way to make a bit of extra money or cut/swap/change the things we do to save money we already have coming in. Our savings fund isnt growing anywhere near quick enough for us to meet the goal we have set. Something has to change. :(



I will do 3 porridge packs, 1 chili and 150g of cauliflower today. plus water and coffee.
 
Morning beelishy. I'm totm too and only lost 0.8 this morning. In a week. Trying to stay focused and tell myself it's totm fluid but my naughty brain is whispering - what's the point in not eating for less than a pound in a week. Aaaaargh.

Here's to a good day x
 
Cant. Stick. To. Plan. ARGH. Whats wrong with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Had 2 porridge and coffee and water all day until 4. Then woke up from nap qwith a randomly swollen eye and TOTM SOOOOOOOOOOOO heavy and painful. Really struggling. So instead of having another porridge then and then my chili pack with cauli for dinner (around 6pm) i decided i would just have double chili packs with cauli for dinner. Which i did. And it was nice. Really nice.

And then around 8:30 I went in to make myself a coffee cuz i was really peckish and left the kitchen, coffee in hand, after having 2 jaffa cakes and 3 digestives. WHT IS WRONG WITH ME? The whole day down the drain at the last minute - for the sake of a a few sh!tty biscuits!

STOP STOP STOP.
 
Aw don't be so hard on yourself. Although your not strictly on plan your not bingeing either. Or gaining weight. Probably still having way less than the average 2000 calories a day for a woman. Once you get a few days under your belt youl be on a roll and have cracked it. We need to be kinder to our selfs sometimes x
 
YOure right .....but ive been wishy-washy with this for a couple of weeks now. and its got to stop. I cant afford it - monetarily or emotionally anymore. If im going to go for it..i need to do just that.

After my biscuit madness last night I sat down and felt crap and told the hubby Im struggling. He already knows...and he just said...you just need to decide if you want to do this or not. Its fine either way. Just decide and follow through with that decision. And he is so right. So I decided to forget about the MONTHS i have left to do this until i get to goal. because i think ive been focusing on that in the back of my mind and its so daunting. Im going to focus on my October goal ONLY. and that is to make it to 240 by Halloween. I have just under 3 weeks to get there. If i really stick to plan, I can just about do it. So I told hubby to hide the scales. Im going to weigh in NEXT Sunday - TOTM will be over and I will have a full week of plan under my belt. So I SHOULD see a bit of improvement by then. And thats the plan.

So ive gotten up this mornng and got everyone breakfast. I got my water and boiled myself a couple of eggs as they really help me get through if i get crazed with hunger during the first few days. Then if theyre already boiled I can just grab an EGG as opposed to a biscuit etc. So thats done. And I decided I want to try to wean myself off of milk in coffee. So since ive run out of almond milk (booo) I measured out 100ml of skimmed to use today BUT...when i made my coffee this morning, i added my sweeteners and then i used the teaspoon to put in 5 tspns of milk. its nearly black...but its GOOD! So If i can get rid of milk all together it saves money AND cals/carbs! woo. hahha

I kinda feel like Im playing tug-of-war. And I have the end of the rope desperately wrapped around my hand....and im struggling and pulling and fighting to keep ahold of it (my progress) and my hand is bleeding and sore but I WILL NOT LET GO UNLESS IT KILLS ME. lol.

Dramatic? Oh yes.

hahaha. So. 240 (OR UNDER!!!) by Halloween. LETS FKN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy saturday all! :)
 
Today:

Ive worked myself up to having coffee which is basically black (3 teaspoons of milk in it) and then the last one i had WAS black. Sorted! I can have it black now but it has to have sweetners. It will save me loads of carbs and also about 3 quid a week on almond milk. LOL.

So Ive had my coffees, most of my water (will finish in a bit), 2 apple porridge packs made into pancakes, and a S&S chili with lots of hot sauce and cauliflower.

Totals today are 652 cals and 61 carbs. Not bad, eh?

Im starting to feel very peckish and actually hungry so I need to watch myself. Im going to go get Zoe out of her highchair, clean her up, then get my water and finish that. Then I will have a coffee....then thats it for the day.

Im going to weigh tomorrow and log it. and then have hubby re-hide the scales. I need to know my "starting" point. lol
 
Thanks! Im really trying. I have...HAVE to do this.

I had an egg and only half of my coffee...I made it too strong. Bleh.

My eldest seems not herself tonight. She's been ill with a chesty cough for over a week but tonight she's very subdued. Im hoping its nothing bad. *sigh*. I just want my babies to get better. :(
