Consolidation Ellie's back cruising her way back to target

[Joodle]

Welcome back Ellie and, um, is it just me or is a 3lb gain for all those treats really not bad at all? Esp as you know much of it is water weight. I loved your post about wearing a bikini for the first time in 20 years and it being the best feeling in the world. Huge congrats again on having lost almost 6 stone - don't forget how amazing that is!

thanks... i was rather shocked at how little i gained but i suppose we did miles and miles of walking every day and drank gallons of water lol I did bloat loads with the bread though i just dont think it agreas with me and the last evening i actually looked pregnant

im down .4 of a lb today again which im shocked at as i ate a whole packet of ginger nuts yesterday to try and settle my tummy thats my excuse and sticking to it lol.... today im planning on a PP with no deviations as need to get my head back in the zone

Well done on getting back on track Ellie & I soooooo love ginger nuts !

 

[xeilidhx]

Well done Ellie. I put on 2kg in a week (also my first time in a bikini!) but lost it with 3pp, getting back on the wagon was murder though!

Onwards and downwards, fingers crossed I'll finally join you in conso soon!! (if these dratted 5lb disappear!x

 

[ellie1969]

Give yourself a time limit eilidh and if they dont shift move onto conso anyway.... i found the change of having veg each day made a lot more drop off....might not happen with everyone but its worth a shot

 

[xeilidhx]

What would you suggest as a time limit? I've got 5.5 to go, haven't weighed for a while as I was meant to weigh at work this morning but felt too ill so I have no idea if I've lost any more! Can't wait for bread...and cheese! I could kill a piece of toast today as I feel so ill all i want is dry carbs and I have nothin

 

[ellie1969]

what about the end of the month ?

 

[ellie1969]

well another decent day yesterday & the weights dropping very slowly impationt me wants it all off now lol

thursday PP
B- 2 muffins & quark icing
L- dry fired mince with garlic, chilli & paprika, yoghurt
D- 2 chicken breasts with sweet chilli dip
s- muffin

im trying hard to catch up with diarys but there was so much posted while i was away im finding it difficult.... im not ignoring everyone promise lol xx

Sounds like you are doing well again. You had to have fun on holiday and your gain was very small.

 

[xeilidhx]

what about the end of the month ?

I'll re-evaluate plans at the end of the month cause I don't think that gives me long to lose 5lb! End of August MAX!!

 

[trudyc]

Hope you have had a good couple of days Ellie - stay strong lovely and the weight will fall off!! You can do it - just keep focused and get both feet in the Dukan wagon before the horse bolts!!! LOL! xxx

 

[trudyc]
