Bev - Round 2

[MiniB]

Well, I'm at work and it's my birthday, that's so wrong isn't it?? It's also our 10 year wedding anniversary on friday so we are all going out for a meal on saturday night (yes!! even me!!). I am coming off exante for the easter weekend, why not? I'm pretty much at where I want to be weight wise so thought the break would do me good. We're going out with my daughters and their partners, it should be lovely. I will be back on exante on the tuesday but not as seriously I think. I want to manage what I've lost up to the wedding, maybe do a couple of products followed by a meal. See how that goes. I've already lost over 3 stones so am very happy with that. I just feel like I need a break for a few days. I've never done this before on a VLCD so will see what happens when I try to get back on it on the tuesday. I should be fine, I have a lot to look forward to so it should keep me focused enough.

Happy birthday and congrats on your tenth anniversary. I'm sure you'll have a fab weekend with the family. Enjoy the delights of real food again after your few months TFR. Well done on reaching your goal.

Well done on the loss Bev and Happy Birthday!!!!! arty0049:
Hope work wasnt too bad and you have a nice evening tonight to make up for it.
You're weekend sounds lovely. Having a while on meal replacements & meals will probably help when it comes to maintainence, they say the longer the refeed the better don't they xxx

Had a nice evening last night, my daughter and brother visited me. It was nice to see them seeing as I had no idea they'd be coming up. I don't see enough of my brother so it was really nice to see him. I've booked with my daughter's friend in a salon to have my hair cut and coloured at the beginning of May (for the wedding really) but for my birthday my daughters went in and paid for it already, isn't that thoughtful of them. My daughter will then highlight my hair for me 2 weeks before the wedding.

Finish work today for a lovely 4 days off, can't wait.

Hope everyone has a good easter weekend, I know I will!

Week 12 weigh in and lost another pound. Very pleased with that. I've had a lovely 4 days off work and off the diet. Really enjoyed myself. I have felt full for the last 4 days though. I am really looking forward to getting back on the diet today and not having that really full feeling! At least I have my full button back now. I seemed to have lost that for a long time. I haven't eaten that much either, I thought I would be eating solidly for the full 4 days but I really haven't. When I finish this I realise that it's the portions that really have to be watched. I didn't want to snack much either, I really have to watch out for that too. Went for a lovely meal with my daughters and their partners on saturday night and had home made chicken pie on sunday and a roast last night. I definitely didn't give myself as big a portion as I used to. It was lovely to have a break from the diet, now I have to get back on today for a couple of weeks at least! I can do it, I know I can.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, I know we did. Shame the weather wasn't better yesterday, it was wet and windy and horrible down here for most of the day.

Well done on wi and glad you had a lovely few days off the diet. How are you doing now?x

 

[JanD]

Oooops sorry Bev .. I missed that it was your birthday. Hope you had a good one. Well done on the loss. So are you doing 2 products and a meal now? x

 

[MiniB]

At the moment I'm back on 100% but finding it hard! That break was great but it is hard to get back on board. I'm going to try for another 2 weeks then finish. I may do 2 products and 1 meal then. I'm getting my wedding outfit in 3 weeks so need to control things.

 

[JanD]

I imagine it must be hard after a break after so long on TFR but you can do it!! Not long now! What date is the wedding again? We're going to one on 9th June so I need to be mindful of that as well AND it's my birthday a few days before ..... I wonder what it's like to be one of those lucky people who doesn't have these issues?!!! x

[JanD]

Only 7 weeks this sunday, can't believe how quick that time's gone!! I have ordered a dress to look at for the wedding, it's gorgeous. Can't wait for it to come, should be here monday.

 

[irish molly]

It'll be exciting to start picking your outfit for the wedding. Seven weeks is a short time in wedding planning, so enjoy the time left.

Hope you're gonna post some photies x

Week 13 weigh in and a STS. Very, very pleased with that. I had 4 days of good eating and 4 days on exante this week (I weighed last Friday!), so a STS is what better than what I expected. Had a good weekend on exante, stayed 100%. Got to really try for the next couple of weeks. I am off to the gym tonight. Haven't been in ages. Don't really enjoy it but need to get toned up a bit more so will give it another go. That means I will be doing at least 1 gym session, 1 badminton and 5 long walks in during the week. That should help with the toning up!!

 

[JanD]

Well done on your sts Bev good result. Good luck at the gym - rather you than me x

 

[summergurl]

Well done on the sts enjoy the gym, if that's possible! Lol xx
