Deflating the Bouncy Castle

Noooo I really really feel for you in that post. Be angry you deserve to be! You Do deserve a bigger loss. It's a scientific certainty that you will lose weight though, even If your body is plateauing or appearing to temporarily.

I know it's all about the referral but you have go recognise that you have done amazingly well, and been on plan on a perfect level. You are an amazing inspiration to so many on here, and not because of the numbers but because of you focus, insight and determination - plus your inspirational style! I understand your anger though. And I'm not going to tell you to not be annoyed as I'm annoyed for you myself!!

I can't remember who said this before but I always remembered it and found it really cute and true - your body doesn't know it's weigh in day - so who knows when the next weight drop will be. And like has been said, a big loss would not be unreasonable to expect to happen.

Stresses of work surely can't be helping but i know it's an intensive career, I admire you for juggling it all. I hope you can somehow enjoy your birthday - what are the plans?

Kisses n hugs n love x x x

can't do it. psychologically i would give up now if i knew i was ever coming back to this diet. the thought of it depresses me down to my bone marrow. I will be on a diet, obviously - but i've already planned things, social things, for the end of april. I will be dieting but i currently have two days off that diet planned, and that's a freedom i haven't been allowed for six months gone and two months still to come. That freedom to have those two days - one of which is a belated celebration of my bloody birthday, which i'm already postponing by three months - is keeping me going. I am at the end of my emotional rope - and i need so badly to know that this spartan, inflexible, non-participatory phase of my life will be over.
 
Sweetie! I'm sooooo sad that you're so upset, angry and cried. I simply can't say anything that will comfort you right now. I do understand why the numbers are so important to you and it isn't bout the weightloss itself.

Ok, let's get pragmatic. Cn you discuss with your CWP consultant about trying 810 sooner? Maybe without the carbs so you remain ketosis? That my kick start a further loss? There may be a consultant on here that can answer that? If ou look at my loss after eating off plan over Christmas & new year when I went bak to SS+ the end of that week I lost 6 pounds. Seriously, is it worth trying 810 no carbs this week? I on't think it would do my harm. Have a think, see what others think and then decide. X
 
Thanks girls.

Lara - we're going to the theatre. all a bit last minute when i relised he hadn't planned anything, so we've got restricted view tickets to see something i didn't much want to see. but at least it's something.
 
Spangles my love there is nothing i can say to make you feel better about this.....as i'm sure has been said by others, stresses and lack of sleep is not going to help, BUT you can and will do this....we are both doing this for the same reason and it's the one thing that keeps me powering through. You will have your magic whooosh i am certain of it, xx

Fair enough - and I have to say, I really admire that decision. Okay, I'll go back to what I said originally. Look at your stats. You can lose 7 pounds in a week - you've done it before.

Stress and weight loss really don't go together. Bl**dy cortisol. But it's only temporary storage. As soon as you can chill out, even a tiny bit, those pounds will drop off.

i asked my cdc, but she thought that would make it worse. her advice was doing more (some) exercise - but if i had any more useful hours in the day i wouldn't need to get up at five to do work.

Hun I'm so sorry to hear you've had a crap weigh in. Do you think it might be worth you moving up a step or so. Perhaps your body is reaching that point where it's achieved everything it can on ss and needs something different? I know it's not what you want to hear but it happened to me and i understand how frustrating it is. maybe going up a step or two and trying to fit in a bit of exercise, or not, may be the thing to move it along again? Arent you coming close to time to move up or another 810 week anyway? Big hugs for you babe, there's no words I know that much x
 
Ohhhh well make the best of it ay. And I bet your going to make that 2 or 3 month late postponed celebration one hell of a celebration after all this! X
 
thing is, rationally i'm really embarrassed by this. I know how it goes... that this happens. I know i'm being bratty and i know i'm mostly overtired and completely feel like opening a vein over what teaching has become since new year and the new OFSTED framework (essentially, the criteria previously graded as 'good' now have be rebranded as 'satisfactory', although that is now being renamed 'notice to improve' and if you remain at that level, Michael Gove has now made sure you can be sacked in 8 weeks). And the one thing that i've felt proud of, and in control of, and was going smoothly... is this bloody diet. so i've thrown my toys out of the pram.
 
Oh Spangles I could bloody well scream for you!!!
You of all people do not deserve that and it makes it soooooo much more frustrating that you have doggedly done SS - no blips, no cheats, no reason at all for you to have 2 weeks of no reward on the scales.
I truly believe that a good old 2 day break from any normal diet gives your body the kick start it needs to start losing again but I know this isn't possible for you and this is no normal diet.
I can only send you big hugs. You will get that baby and you will be a fantastic Mum, I am quite sure of it xxxxxxxxxx
 
Spangles, I'm afraid I disagree with ou consultant saying doing more exercise. I used o have a personal trainer about 9 yers ago and I remember having a discussion about how having a low calorie diet & exercising I'd not equate to more weightloss. I can't remember the science behind it but I do know there is some. And absolutely no disrespect to your consultant or ny other CWP consultant's out there but they are not medically qualified to necessarily understand how the science of this diet works, notwithstanding the fct they may well understand.

What I'm saying is do one research on google on vlcd's, reaching a plateau in weightloss and whether exercise would help or hinder loss. Then thy way you can make an informed decision as o whether or not moving upto SS+ or 810 is the right decision or imply to stick to your current plan.

made me cry, you b*tch...:p
 
Kira - i can't do exercise anyway, not at the moment. i just don't have time. if things don't change at work, i don't know if i ever will.

regarding stepping up - early. I'll give it one more week. we'll see.
 
Ok honey. Remember it is still an option , even if only for two or three days. Try and have a chilled birthday tomorrow. Will be thinking of you. X
 
Spangles can I comment as a CDC and what I would recommend to my clients?

I would put everything on the line to say your body may need more calories and moving up a step (I know your almost at stepping up soon anyway) may give you a boost again?
How long is it till you go away?
 
ten weeks, i think. I did ask her about stepping up, and she said it would make it worse. I will hang on for one more week - not sure much harm can come of me in one more week - and then, if no joy - i'll go onto 810 next week. No sense not.
 
i could do 4 packs a day this week - do you think i should try that, mama? would that make enough of a difference?
