Hi all hope I'm not too late to the party!

I'm on day 3 and my willpower is falling apart a bit! I have a bad headache and feel hungry and tired. I hope this will pass though! I also have a lot to lose - just over 4 stone.

My first weigh in is on Monday BUT I have a wedding to go to on Saturday which is making me a bit nervous as I will have to eat at the dinner! Any advice? I don't want to seem rude considering the bride is one of my best friends!

Hey

Ur never late to join us lol... ur doing fab and day 3 or 4 for me are the most difficult. Just have plenty of water or maybe some green tea.. try to get a early night tonight. . Also i have 4st8lb to lose and i have done a stone and 2lb already in 3 weeks... if i can do it then anyone can! Also in regards to the wedding just have whatever grilled option they have or chicken as this shouldn't take you out of ketosis.. and u should still get a good loss on ur weigh in day... trust me it will be worth it in the long run... also if ur struggling today have a small meal from the sole source plus list chicken egg etc.. it might help you get through today and also wont take you out of ketosis or make much difference to ur loss... hope this helps... off to do the weekly shop.. see all the junk i would usually buy good luck and keep us posted x

I weigh on Mondays although I have a crazy job and work evenings on different days of the week so HOPEFULLY I can stick to a Monday!

Hello clareb123! You've done AMAZINGLY! You guys are doing so well - I hope I can achieve the same.

Just an update - I'm not falling apart as much as I was earlier today. Went to work and did eat some of the turkey salad but couldn't manage the whole thing which I was amazed by considering how much I can normally eat! Couldn;t believe that some turkey and some leaves could fill me up. I think this diet does a great job of shrinking your stomach really fast. I also tried one of the cartons for the first time - chocolate velvet. Well all I can say is I will be ordering more of that on Monday! I'd drink that even if I wasn't on a diet.

Let me know how you guys get on - it really does help knowing there are people out there doing the exact same thing xx

So thats fab that u didnt fall off the wagon! Brilliant! Pat on the back... and yes it shrinks it pretty quick.. im doing ok.. feel a little rubbish as i have done my weekly shop and my younger brother 10 is staying over tomorrow for the weekend and i went all out on junk oooppps! So putting the shopping away was really a challenge! I know it sounds bizarre but i really wanted to eat something! Cheese and onion rolls garlic bread crisps choc and much more! Then i just stopped myself and thought nooo! I need to b good and remember that this is a short haul thing and if i give in today it will show how weak i am and that i will struggle to make healthy choices in the future once i am in maintenance.. so i filled up my water and had my 4th litre and felt better for not giving in.. i am taking the day off for xmas and will see my dad and sisters in bham and want to get into the 12 stone mark from 14.8... so it will b nice for them to notice my loss.. i can babble on for england lol.. so keep me posted ur all doing great and good luck x

You're all doing brilliantly!! I was on CD over Xmas last year and although I don't celebrate Xmas it was really hard with all the yummy food in the shops. I stayed on plan the whole time and after Xmas was over I was so pleased I had done that because I know I would have put on at least 4-5lb over that period- if not more- that I would have had to lose all over again. Being in such a strict diet is a massive protection basically!! You'll be fine with 1 day off plan too xxx

 

[cstattygirl]

I was thinking of taking Christmas day and boxing day off, eating whatever I want and not feeling guilty. I'm frankly AMAZED you stuck to this over xmas! You've more willpower than I do!

I'm doing well today - a lot better than yesterday. The headache isn't as bad although I am sleeping LOADS! I didn't get up until 10 today and even then I had to force myself! I'm also having really weird dreams - no idea if it's the diet or not. Has anybody else had this? or am I mad lol!?
