Here I go...

Well day 6, (or 5)..can't count yesterday..was good all day and went to cinema and...ate nothing...then came home and ate a pot noodle..at nearly midnight!!..What on earth was that about!?! Dusted myself down and got on with it today and weighed in and my scales say I have STS so I have lost the Christmas weight (don't know how much I gained as I couldn't bear to get on them over Christmas) so I am guessing I lost perhaps 5 - 7lbs this week but it doesn't count. Anyway, I am pretty happy with that!! Back to work on Monday so at least my colleagues won't be able to think 'Ha, I knew she couldn't keep it up!' :D:D:D
 
That's a good way of doing it. Weighing after first week back. Well done at starting where u left off :) well done for doing so well this, only one minor blip. Good luck for foning weeks. And return to work with Ur head held high :) x
 
How was work? Any comments from your colleagues!
 
Work was fine, ta....was asked if I was still on diet and I said that I enjoyed the week off and was strict for a week and kept my weight stable so now back on it for January. Someone asked how much longer and I just said until the end of the month so I wouldn't get any health lectures!!! How are you getting on..I was distracted by work so so hungry tonight my tummy is aching...off to drink a pint of water to shut up the gurgling!!!! :)

I'm very good ta, a bit of a headache oh the joys :) caught up with my water for the day and all 3 shakes
Day 1 done :checkmark green:
 
Another day done...not too bad today.....met someone who hadn't seen me for months and their reaction to my weight loss spurred me on. It's a great boost when that happens! Usually by about this time in the evening I usually know I am on the home straight. My worst time of the day is between 4 and 6 - at that time of the day I could eat the arm off the chair! :)
 
The end of another day, was busy so didn't really have a problem sticking with it. Only problem today was that I had 1 shake and 2 bars simply because I was driving a lot today and didn't have the time to mix a shake and felt so hungry! Hope it doesn't do too much damage :confused:
 
Thanks for sharing. I am a newbie and my shakes just arrived. Starting it tomorrow. Ive been reading these boards over the past few days and finally decided to register. Sometimes i find dieting hard to talk about with people i know, so here i am.... :)
 
Hi Clare, welcome to exante! The forums are great and you will get brilliant support here. Good luck with the start, it is difficult in the first few days but the results are so quick that it really motivates you to keep going. I use the message boards regularly as it helps to be able to see how everyone else is doing, to celebrate successes and to add/receive encouragement when struggling. I am feeling a bit more motivated after a couple of weeks at Christmas and although restarting is tough I feel as if I have got my determination back. Good luck and remember to drink LOADS of water! :)
 
Well, had my weigh in today ad lost 2lb this week. I'm sure it would have been more but had the last of the christmas social nights to go on Friday night and the restaurant was so expensive I just got what I wanted because even the low/carb choices were just as expensive!! All washed down with wine of course! We went dancing afterwards and I bopped around like a maniac to try and lessen the damage. Anyway, yesterday I was a bit hungover and ended up feasting on crisps and toast so I can write off 2 days out of the 7 last week. Now I don't have anymore social events in my diary to worry about for the new month so able to commit to this diet 100%. Back on the wagon..I really need to get a good run at this and get the next stone off before I start my new job in Februay. :D
 
2days of carbfest and still lost 2lbs, go girl :D
 
Thanks Ali, 2lbs is great but I am pretty sure it would have been 5lbs if I hadn't sabotaged myself at the weekend. This is the only problem with this diet, it really has an impact on the social life but I refuse to go out and sit sipping water (I'd prefer to stay in). I think if I went out regularly I would have to rethink exante total as it is so extreme but the odd night out is ok and if the weight loss stalls or slows down, I just have to live with the consequences. Anyhoo, I am back to basics and have my 3 packs set out for the day and a long walk for the doggy planned. Good luck for yourself today...looks like I have to go through it all again before the ketostix turn pink again!! :rolleyes:
 
That really is the worst thing about this diet is it's so easy to get out of keto and so damm hard to get back in. Any more nights out planned or have got a few weeks to get down to it now?
 
Able to get on track now and have a full month to get into the swing of things..it's hard when you start playing around with the rules..my only consolation is that the weight is not going back up but I know it will if I don't stop messing about..we WILL do this Ali! :D
 
Ok..no more messing about...on track again and aiming for a full 100% weekend (no more cheaty eaties :mad:) I have looked at my stats and realised that it has taken me a MONTH to lose 2lbs :(. I know we had Christmas etc. and I have still lost weight but at this rate it will take me forever to get the weight off. I really really want to have this weight off by Easter and look forward to a lovely slim spring and summer. I keep telling myself that the only person stopping this happening is myself!!!! I felt so slim at Christmas but think that I have got used to the weight I have lost and now that 'podgy feeling' is coming back even though the weight isn't. I wonder if it is a mental thing too and if I will feel it when I get to goal? I don't think I will ever feel slim but I won't know if I don't do it...off to get another litre of water down as I have not had enough today..guess I will be up a few times during the night? lol!

Yayyy go girl, funny how our mind works. You're right about losing weight then starting to feel podgy again when we don't even appreciate how far we have come.
I suppose it is a good way to give us the kick-start we need to get going again. Goal by Easter is my plan too and if I get there before then, bonus :)
 
I def agree that podgy feeling is in out minds, yesterday I was fat, today slim! Bizarre. Think it is to do with out attitude towards the diet. Yes, 2lb a month is slow but it took time to go on and it will take time to come off. So 2lb off is better than 2 on. Life is for living so if u can do that and still lose weight, good for u. Jus give it a good old run this month and make up for the last month x
