That's because things lose weight when we cook them (evaporation). What is concerning is that people were, i think, having 230g of cooked prawns (since raw grey ones are harder to get and often more expensive). Hence the change.
Kira - it's a girls' school and the kids are really effusive and end up going over the top. Because of the way drama works, i teach all of them when they're little, and then about five sixths of them give it up when they're older. so you have a lot of teenage girls who don't see me regularly, but who have agreat deal of (rose-tinted) affection for drama and me as a teacher, being really surprised to see me. I get stopped and they don't quite know how to articulate what they want to say so we end up with (shocked voice)"but miss, you're so beauuuuuuutiful!:Eek:
Bless them. Also, the majority are african and carribean students, where the size i am now is pretty much aspirational for a lot of them. They're very funny and sweet.
Staff have been lovely too. Really praising and congratulating me. I've always been very open about the nature of the diet and people have been incredibly supportive. You know - if i didn't loathe my job (to the extent in makes me feel sick to my stomach every evening, knowing that the nexxt day is getting closer by the second) I'd love it. The kids are always great, and outside of the ridiculous pressures and whims applied by government, teachers tend to be nice people, too.

That is so lovely! Kids really can tell it how it is!
Interesting about the changes to the amounts. Typcial I bought raw prawns yesterday to have today! Will see how much they weigh once I've cooked them! I think there were on 150g in the packet and still looked quite a bit!

the protein portion sizes on 810 are ridiculous, though. before CD my husband and i ate much smaller portions of meat than most people (carbs were my downfall) - no more than the size of a pack of cards. I think that's healthy. to eat the 810 appropriate amount of chicken breast you need to eat more than one, (or some kind of mutate-o-hen)... i think that certainly step 2 isn't so hot for teaching portion control.
I agree one chicken breast should be enough. I got the prawns out the freeze (asda extra special) and I knew they would weigh more frozen so weighed them out the packet said 240g and it weighed in at 280g thats 40g of water? Still going to weigh them before I cook them later.

Kids do know how to say things to spur us on. I had to laugh my step son asked my fella if he was a "chubby chaser"!! Well if I hadnt been losing weight that comment would have made me cry, but it made me laugh........I've heard of BBW's but never Chubby Chasers, apparently an American term. God love them!

Phew I did it! I have been reading through your diary over the last couple of weeks,I would have been finished a lot sooner if my o/h hadnt kept asking me what I was doing.Obviously as you have been told umpteen times you look amazing your style is amazing and your weight loss is amazing. You remind me of Ice moose he was on the boards of a different site when i first started on LL a few years ago.He was so determined nothing got in his way and you are the same in your determination. What I really admire is the fact you are so determined to have that treatment you have realised you have a tool that can get you there and you are making the absolute most of that tool.The weight losing and the looking slim thing is just a bi product of your ultimate goal.I really feel you can achieve anything in your life as you can focus so strongly on something you really want. I wish you every happiness and stay strong this is just the start of an amazing journey for you.

I agree, I think the great thing is some people really get how you feel.Although I get fed up with the I just ate this will it take me out of ketosis thing and half hearted efforts which are rewarded with big losses. I go to a cd group its the only way I can do it , when someone has a bad week and is really genuinely struggling you really feel the need to try and encourage them to stick with it. It can be really hard at times to keep going with the diet, but keeping focused on the end result can really turn your mind set around as you know.Am I rambling lol

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have lost a quarter of a f*cking pound. I could bloody scream - I have had a big old cry and i'm just really, really upset.
that makes 1 pound exactly in the last fortnight of perfect SS. i'm not bloated, i'm not bunged up, i'm not ill, i'm not pre menstrual. i am absolutely bloody deperastely upset. and i *know* that weightloss isn't linear and it isn't fair - i invented that phrase. but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccck!
so angry. and upset.
i have lost bits of inches in the last two weeks - but i don't actually give any kind of sh1t about what size i am. I never have. i NEED to lose actual weight. I can't go to my referral and say, "but hey - look at my waist measurement"... There is no longer a single chance that i can apply for my referral before i go on holiday (i'd have to lose nine and a half pounds to be back on track with average losses) - and who knows how long it will take me after the holiday - it could take another couple of months. so upset. My referral seemed withn grasp and now it could be summer.
plus, i've been up working since five am and i left school at 7.30 tonight - and i didn't get a single break all day because i've sposed to have had appointments with the parents of all my tutor group all day, and 8 out of 17 of them were late enough to have been running late, using up all my breaks.
on top of which i've been up at five every school day since last thurday cos i'm too knackered to do two hours' work every evening when i get home. so now i'm sick with anxiety because i haven't taken any work home to do tonight cos it's my bloody birthday tomorrow - not that it feels like it at all...

Oh god. There is nothing i can say to really help at all, unless it helps that i wish i could help!
I think all you can do is try to at least put work out of your head. If you're screwed you're screwed and worrying about it can't help, so you might as well not worry.
Get a big massive hug by your lovely hubby from me.xx

Oh darling. :hug99:
Listen, it's perfectly possible for you to lose 6 pounds in a week, okay? Especially when you've had a couple of weeks of crap losses. So don't lose hope, not when you're so close. You know how this diet can go. x x

And this holiday - if I remember rightly, you're going up the plans before hand, right? And you're determined not to SS when you come back?
Maybe, just maybe (please don't shout at me), you might want to rethink that. Going back on SS after a planned break is not in the same league as being a serial restarter like me. Truly. :bighug:
Edited to add: Oh, maybe that was a really rubbish thing to write and I should just shut up...
Sending you loads of "shed water weight, dammit!" vibes :vibes:
