Whenever I go to a fire I have to shower at least twice before the smell goes! Urgh!
But I'm all clean now.
It is very annoying, I figure we will have learned to deal with food and how not to put on weight but at some stage it really aught to catch up with then at that stage they have to start learning everything we have. It won't happen. He'll be skinny forever!

Lol I know. Just had my last product a bar and I've had 3.25 litres on too of the required product water which I always count separately as 775mls so should be nice and hydrated.
I'm freezing cold tho and awaiting coronation street to come on lol xx

Haha I love tv food porn. We popped into co-op earlier today getting water and ice and was drooling at Terry's choc orange cookies from bakery section. Then a man was eating something whilst we were at check out and jay had to nudge me as I was blatantly staring at him lol. The food obsession is awful at times. I just keep thinking about my step 3 nandos a week on Thursday. Either pitta and salad or the chicken med salad. Decision decisions.
I have been good tho in that I'm in the lakes at a work thing week after hols and the menu looks scrummy. I've asked for plain steak and salad no starter and plain strawberries for dessert :-( but good at same time or I will end up never getting back to ss. Strawberries are lowest carb fruit gong and cals so won't push me out of ketosis but will be a step 3 day that day.
How long u going away for? Xx

I can't help watching people eat cake or crisps etc! It's terrible but I almost chew it for them.
I'm moving up to step three in preparation for going. I'm away for 6 days. I fly next Thursday, have a wedding on Friday. Saturday is set aside for recovery and then Sunday until we come back on Wednesday is basically whatever we want to do.
Well done on the good choices you're making already. I have no idea how good it's possible for me to be whilst I'm out there but I will definitely be trying my best. I'll be taking products with me and sticking with protein and veg whenever possible.

You sound in the right frame of mind hun which is good. That's why I love the 4 amigos all positive talk and attitudes but help on these weak mental days
I've had a better look at step 3 now and decided to do it as follows what do you think cos I don't do breakfast I start on products at lunch time usually.
Midday- first shake (146 cals)
4pm- second shake (146 cals)
8pm- 500 cal meal of protein and salad
I will also have 100 cal of fruit and 100 cal of yoghurt either after my dinner or at breakfast depending how I feel. That's 1000 cals following the principles except for the salad lunch which half board I won't be able to go out and eat a bowl of green leaves lol. Going to drink 5-6 litres too as will be hot and Sweaty lol. Xx

Just checked and total 0% Greek yoghurt isn't that high in carbs either so I reckon as long as stick to salad and strawberries which are low carb I may not even come out of ketosis. I go in ketosis v quickly (36 hours) and takes a big chunk of carbs to get me out. So hoping I will be ok.
I'm guessing your biggest unknown is the wedding?
Also are you drinking? I'm not bothered about booze on this trip anyway would rather drink in July in Cornwall as have a pimms, prosecco or cider haha. Xx

That sounds like a good plan for step 3 whilst away. I will be drinking as much as my bladder will hold! I am likely to have fruit and yogurt for breakfast then a shake for lunch, a second shake at about 5ish then a meal in the evening. So similar to you. I think that should get me to the 1000 calories.

Yeah the wedding is a complete unknown. I have no idea what that'll be like. I've had a couple of weddings since being on Cambridge and I avoid the canapés and late night bacon butties. If it's a set meal I just dump all the carbs onto the hubby's plate if it's a buffet then it's salad and protein one plate and no revisits! I can only see a big issue if the food is all pasta and pizza!

I will be amazed if it's pizza and pasta they usually go for meats and fish and rosemary potatoes and random veg I think over there for weddings and celebrations. I think you will be ok.
Yes our plans sound similar. I reckon I will only have the fruit early on in day if I'm out of ketosis and starving lol. The day I travel out and the day before will be step 2 days same as day I travel home so all in all will be 3 step 2 and 6 step 3 days. I doubt I will lose anything but a maintain will be a bargain. My CDC said one lady went away did step 3 religiously and lost 6lb next weigh with only 10 days inbetween the weigh ins. She must have been sue or good before and after too with ss I reckon. I'm getting weighed the day before I go and the Monday after I get back I think.
How do you find your losses on step 2? Xx

I've been on step 2 the whole time (get anaemia so had to) but I don think my losses have been massively different from others who are on SS. I think it's because I do a bit of exercise and as it's only 200 calories more it's pretty easy to use that up in a day. If you're busy and not just sitting around I suspect you will lose or maintain easily by sticking to steps 2/3. I have a weigh in tomorrow (I'm expecting the 7course anniversary tasting menu to show on the scales) then the day before I go and the day after I get back. I will be sticking as closely as I can.
My memories of Italy are of meat and fish and shellfish with vegetables. I've been a few times and that tends to be what I've had. But we will see!

Hello ladies,
Quick update from Germany - we arrived safely but not a great flight!!!
There was me thinking Germany was going to be easy!!! That was until we stopped at mcds on way home!!! I refuse to eat mcds in England but how can u be rude when it's someone's treat???? So had small hamburger and a diet coke!! Not the best but definitely not the worst!! Hoping tomorrow will be home cooked foods with salad and protein otherwise it's gonna be a massive gain for me this week!!!
3lbs on definitely isn't bad Lizz n that'll be gone by next weigh in!! Tigg and Autumn hope your both ok?? Will be more focused tomorrow and hopefully will be able to catch up with you all xx
