Thanks Katy! You are so close, just hang in there.

Well I am ashamed to say that when I went on holiday I was 162, when I came back I was 172.8, but this morning back to 167.1
I have a renewed commitment, it is stupid to be languishing this close to goal and spending all this ££ and just f-ing about!

 

[Katycakes]

I know how you feel... I can't believe this last little bit is being so strubborn. Or is it me being stubborn, bending the rules cos I think I know best? Hmmm. Not answering that!

Afternoon folks, l'm home for lunch just now (just had my CD spicy tomato soup), l would say it's a good afternoon apart from it's bucketing down here & l've to walk back to work (less than 10 mins away mind you), l always try & drink a bottle of water on the way to & from work, it's not so enjoyable though when it's raining!

Hope you are all having a good day and having better weather where you are.

Hope Slim is doing ok.

Hello everyone,

I'm just joining it's my second week in joining. I had my first weigh in on Monday and lost 8lbs. Here's to another weight loss this week.

:-D

 

[Katycakes]

Hi Madmax, welcome! Can you tell us a bit about yourself? (To find out about us lot, check first few pages of the thread, or ask any extra things you'd like to know!) How are you finding it?

Week 2

Hi Katycakes,

Thanks for the welcome. What's to tell about myself. I'm 23, Male (only male in the team I gather) I already know Slimpossible and Quizzicalgrrl. I am on the 10th day of the CD. I am finding it good at the moment. There are days where I want to pig out on Chocolate and crisps but my main battle is Carbs. Bread, rice, pasta, potatoes....

I have refrained from doing so. It was a big boost to lose 8lbs in my first week. So this week I am being extra good. Not even going to have a glass of Pimms (Cheated).

I am struggling though to have 3 shakes and a meal. I have 2 shakes then eat a meal in the evening and feel too full to have another shake. I have tried to force them down.

If you want to know anymore about me. Ask away.

Hi Madmax, Welcome to Team 26. Hope you enjoy it here. :welcome2:

 

[Katycakes]

Aw, hi Max... it's great that you know Slim & Quizz already, I am guessing that may mean you are in London! You can definitely do this... and you're off to a great start. I was a chocolate addict AND a carb addict before CD and now I don't think I care if I ever see a chocolate bar again... except the CD kind, of course! And am just starting 1200 step so carbs are now allowed again, but my tastes have changed a lot over the last 5 months and I am loving wholemeal options... yum!

Just to report, had my WI and lost 2.4lbs this time... I am now a seriously torturous .2 of a lb away from my target!!! Arghhh! But very happy, as I am so, so close. Maybe by the weekend?!!!

Well done Katy, congratulations on your success. :happy096:

 

[quizzicalgrrl]

Katy! That is fantastic News! I am so proud of you. xx

MadMax is a coworker of mine, lovely lad and I am sure you will all enjoy getting to know him.

Disney How are you today?

I am trying to wait for lunch to have my delicious porridge. It is raining here and the dogs are all asleep. I am working from home today. xx

 

[Madmaxly]

Afternoon people,

Well done Katy. You're nearly there.
I have tried to write something all morning but again there's a big pain in my life that seems to take up all of my time! WORK!
Don't you just love it?! I am now just taking my 2nd shake of the day, lovely strawberries. I wish it had vodka in it to make it a strawberry daquiri!

It's nearing the weekend, where usually I would stop at the shop and buy a bottle of wine, some snacks and veg out in front of the TV and watch stupid TV until I pass out. Well I won't be doing that tonight. (Drink is forbidden). So I have decided to clean my bathroom and bedroom instead. The joys!

How is everyone this fine Friday? All going well I hope.

Max

Disney How are you today?

Hi Quizz, l'm fine thanks, apart from still feeling a bit tired & cold - it's been raining (a lot!) & is really cold & windy here.
I was saying to my CDC this morning about feeling cold & she says that's quite common on CD, but in time your body adjusts to it. I guess since losing weight my body has less "insulation" to keep it warm. LOL

Results of today's weigh-in: l've lost 3lb this week.

I always find CD harder at the weekends - at lunchtime today l was in M&S foodhall getting food for my husband & the kids for the weekend, knowing l won't be having any of it. Hopefully in a couple of months l'll be joining in with family meals again, as long as l make healthy choices.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

 

[IreneH]

Any results?

[quizzicalgrrl]

Disney that is absolutely brilliant.

Max when is your weigh day? How did you survive the weekend?
xx

 

[Madmaxly]

Morning all,

Well the weekend is over. It's the start of a new week. I have weigh in less than 5 hours time. I'm a little nervous of this week, more so than last week...... I cheated a little over the weekend. I had 2 glasses of wine. :-( My bad! I just have to be more disciplined.

I'm still struggling to have all 3 shakes and a daily meal. I feel so full. Is this normal? I always have to force the 3rd shake/soup down. I have missed 3 shakes already this week.

How is everyone else doing?

Max

[DisneyParis]

Max, good luck for your weigh-in tonight.

I'm on SS 3 CD soups/shakes a day (no meals) & sometimes find l'm really full. You can start having the CD bars (one a day) after the first two weeks. I've definately enjoyed CD more since l included the bars in my diet.

 

[Madmaxly]

Thanks Disney.
It didn't go as I expected but still I lost. Not much as I thought or wanted to though. 4 and a half pounds. :sigh: Again, at least it's still a loss. I think I have to be more strict next week and start doing more exercise!!

Oh well... I just have to focus on the good summer body that I want and work harder for it! Bring on the summer!!

Feel a little deflated though. :booboo:

Onwards and upwards. Almost at the stone mark! w00p w00p....

Hope everyone is having/had a good evening.

 

[DisneyParis]

Max, losing another 4 1/2lb is good, it really is, the first week's loss is always the biggest. Try not to feel downheartened - losing almost a stone in 2 weeks is brilliant, well done. :happy096:
