Total Solution Hoping to be a flab free 40!

[sarahlou72]

Sorry to crash your diary Sarahlou, but I wanted to reply to juliebags' post.

When I was on Cambridge we were allowed coke zero and the strawberry & kiwi water but I found that it kicked me out of ketosis. Some people are very sensitive to it apparantly, especially during the first 2 weeks.

Once I was heavily into ketosis (around 3 weeks in) I found I could drink 1 can of coke zero per day and my weigh loss wouln't suffer. Anymore than 1 can though and I was kicked straight out of ketosis and started feeling hungry again.

It's possible that you are sensitive to aspartame and saccharine like I am, and if you're having a can of zero AND strawberry water AND sweetening your tea/coffee, that could be leeping you out of ketosis. Try avoiding these for a couple of days and see if ketoss kicks in.

Good luck!

It's worth trying it juliebags. It would be such a shame if you've been working so hard and sticking to it and it's the drinks that let you down!

This time around I'm going to get some ketostix to test when I'm in ketosis. When they get really dark pink, I'll start introducing some coke zero - the fizziness really helps with ketosis-mouth.

Try cogate peroxyl its a soultion of hydrogen peroxide, it will oxygenate all the & very good for staining xx boots also do a solution but you need to ask over the counter .ps make sure you floss & brush ur tongue x

Had a sneaky weigh soooooo disapppinted only4.5lbs i know a loss is a loss but was hoping btwn 7-9lbs especially having starved all bloody week, have lost that in one week at slimming world & stuffed myself! Lets hope tommorrow is move favourable,so we can push into week2

 

[juliebags]

Right, back to positive thinking! Have split my vanilla shake into 4 & using as a milk substitite in coffee- much better! If the scales are not good so be it i am gpimg back to my fitness regime(hubby reckons i am worse mood without exercise than i am without food & combo of both , poor bugger has had to sleep with one eye open ) lol! Sooo back to running/ strength training- i feel calmer thinking about it, if not lose lbs will al least lose inches, not really bothered what my jeans size is / as long as they look good !

Well done you!!! And a loss is a loss at the end of the day if you miss your exercise and you feel energised, go for it!! Your hubby will thank you I agree with the size thing - having been mildly disappointed this morning I'm now thinking bigger picture too! Who cares about daily weights anyway... As long as we get to our goal whatever it is, then we should be happy have a super day!! x

Ahhh hot summer would be nice eh... I know 50 isn't too bad in the whole scheme of things and the utter joy of wearing skinny jeans ( and shaking my stuff and not knocking everything over) will be bliss x

 

[zoebear]

Well done you on completing a week. A tad gutted I'm not there with you, but will be right behind as of tomorrow snapping at your heels. X

 

[zoebear]

Good luck for wi. X

So first weigh in and mixed feelings - sts again, so 8 lbs in total - at first was mortified and then had to have a little chat with myself... I would NEVER lose that calorie counting, I wouldn't have even made it to a weeks WI! It's the same loss I had on week 1 of LL and went on to lose 2 stone in 8 weeks - so its the bigger picture for me from now on! I'm 2lb away from 12 stone so if I can see 11s this week I'll be smiling
Hope everyone has a great day and loss if it's weigh in x

 

[sarahlou72]

On the upside I've lost 5 inches of my waist, 2.5 off my hips, 2 off my lardy bum and 1.5 off boobs
