Big Boys Need Love Too!

Hi abz. Duh - you've been exercising like crazy and building muscle - Bet you've got loads of heavy muscle replacing the fat THAT'S A GOOD THING - WELL DONE!!!! X

P.S. You may still have lost inches AS WELL - Good luck x
 
i can't be building muscle gem. i don't physically eat enough calories to create muscle... i am toning the stuff i've got though. but i doubt that makes a difference. i think it's more likely i've sent my body kicking and screaming into starvation mode by accident... the thought of eating more after struggling so much to eat less seems ridiculous though... but hopefully my cdc will keep me up to date :)

It's true that your metabolism could be on starvation mode. In that case it would be trying to squirrel away every calorie you eat for the energy you are using. You are however doing loads of exercise so your body must be working on the muscle in some way and any conversion from fat to muscle will slow down weight loss a little. Are you considering eating any time soon? When you are eating your TOTM might regulate. x
 
abz....well they say a stone a month when you are ssing only....but remember you are eating meat now and again....that WILL make a difference. But you are doing well. You do what you can and make sure you are having all your soups and shakes. The exercise is one thing, that you need to take it easy on. Because if you do too much, with the VLCD you will hang on to any fats you have, which wouldn't be good. But just be patient....you're doing well!!

Gem....you're never old....just wise!!

Wheel...welcome, welcome......oh and did say welcome!! hehehe

hezzi...hmmm....feel thin....not sure what that is like....but I know that for example this morning I felt like I had lost some. Since sunday I have lost 3lbs...( two I gained from eating bread-naughty me) and just another one. So yip---peeee.....

Taz...not sure about you...but I have found I loose more when i am on red days than green days. I uses less syns and don't eat as much. Not sure why....but then too I noticed my water intake had come down a bit...which i have picked back up...and this week I know I will have a 2-3 loss which will make up for my sts yesterday. But as I said I am so glad it was a sts rather than the 2 lbs i gained from the bread and OH's b-day. But we shall see.

You know the thing about peanut butter....I do like it...I love pb&J sandwiches...but if I am honest it has been at least a year or so since I ate any. I have it in the cupboard but I save it for the LU.

tizzi....I think the last time i mentioned PB I said the game jiffy....but I meant to say SKIPPY....that is the name of the PB in the states...they were selling it at sainsbury's at one point years ago but dropped it like a bad habit....so...no more....oh well....
But for anyone who like pb & J there is stuff called Goober from the US which is PB with strips of grape or strawberry jam. Grape jam is yummy but never found anything like it over here.
 
silence....well I am sure I am going to go for it. I can see it is similar to spanish which I find easy...so I will let you know once I start and maybe you can let me try some out on you...so you can have a good ole laugh!! hahaha
 
Jenn - You are doing SO well. Birthdays (even other peoples) nearly always produce squatters and THEY'RE GONE - How good are you? x

well, i know im not ACTUALLY thin lol, i just feel like the weight is definitely coming off. Im certainly thinNER than i was! Its just such a good feeling when all the hard work you put in starts to show! And i couldnt do this without all of you guys on minimins, so THANK YOU, and im determined to get to my goal by xmas! :)
 
i want to get there by christmas too :) although it seems bloody miles away now!! ha.

i'll be eating bits and pieces on the way up to going to denmark which is only three weeks away because i don't want to think FOOD!! and fall face down in anything lovely. i'll end up in some kind of sugar coma... ha.

a stone a month is average for ss+ ing too. which is pretty much what i've been doing. having the odd bit of chicken shouldn't halve my weight loss, i checked with my cdc, but we'll see what her scales say. who knows. maybe i'll get a surprise, i don't know how though, ha. i'll find out soon enough i guess. the urge to switch to low carbing is pretty damn strong i have to admit... but i said i would keep going with this until i went to denmark at the very least and since it's so close now there's no point in giving up... still. life is pretty miserable at the moment. it's ridiculous how much food can affect your everyday life. not to mention the hormonal swings i'm going through constantly... i am starting to think that eating more and continuing with the exercise i'm doing might be a better option for me if this continues because i really don't want to be a stressed out, pissy wreck for another four months which is basically what i've been for the last two... ah well. moan and groan and gripe over. concentrating on getting some water down me at the mo, i have been drinking the good old stuff but have been finding it increasingly difficult. i am on two cups of coffee and about a litre of water so far today and usually by now i would have had at least two...

try friends reunited. that's free now. and there's always facebook... those are the two easy options. after that i'm guessing things get harder...
 
abz...cheers... yeah this person won't likely be on there...but thanks all the same for the help. I am just at the moment trying to find a way to find a house number for a place that I have the postcode for....not sure if I can or where...maybe royal mail can tell me....doubt it...but it would be good. Might need to look at google earth and see if the building still exsists.
 
sounds like a plan hon.

i have just downloaded the dawson's creek soundtrack and i feel 15 again :S very angsty... ha.

abz xx
 
hahaha...think i might have been a little too old for dawson's creek...i heard about it...but I was more of a 90210 girl at the time....they all graduated the same year i did so it was cool for me. sad i know...hahaha.
 
ha. i have discovered 21 jump street. do you remember that? i didn't even know it existed although i was around. just oblivious. it's awesome :D hee. i have the first season. haven't seen any of the others yet :)

Afternoon all, I didn't have chance to check in this morning. I was up at 3am for work so I could have beaten you all!

Jenn, I stick to the green days as I don't lose with the reds. Also I'm not a big meat eater so I would get to hungry!
