I'll prove I can do it!!
- Thread starter ChristyT
- Start date
I don't think it is unrealistic Fairy (if you stick to CD/SS 100% between now and then. I think it is doable as average lose is about a stone a month on a vlcd. However, the more you have to lose it is possible the loss would be 28lbs. I am concerned that if you set yourself X amount to lose by X date you may be disappointed on the weeks the scale is not showing higher loss on the scales. Would a better approach (easier said than done!) not be to aim for 100% days between now and 23 March because if you are 100%you will lose weight. That way you will not be disappointed in the same way as wanting to see X number on the scale on 23 March. Does that make sense?

Nice one Christy. I just went on my scales and I think I have lost that 5lb gain I had over Xmas already. Yas!! Scales are saying I'm down to 15st5lbs! 6 lbs off but I don't know if my scales are the same as my Cambridge Advisers. We shall see on Tuesday. This weekend is gonna be hard!!! X
Hi Fairy, I'm combining S&S products with food as I am trying to increase exercise and I do two sessions with a personal trainer. I lost 23 pounds from Sept to just before Christmas but gained over Christmas so the 2012 is recorded as a 21 pound loss. I've around a stone to go. I use the S&S as a tool to help with counting calories on MFP. I would like to try and just do a week of S&S to get me into the 8's but as I am exercising and have a BMI under 25 it really isn't a sensible approach. I guess this way I am going to be learning to maintain rather than reach target and then struggle in maintaining. Think this last bit is going to be really hard work!

Hahahahahaha - oh I had an 2 x options hot chocolate, a glass of red wine, a 4 finger kitkat and some cheddar cheese. I am being super strict now for the rest of the weekend to try and make sure I don't gain because of it! It is of course totally the fault of this terrible snow and nothing to do with my lack of willpower lol xxxx

Hi Fairy - this is day 9 I think - started on Thursday 10th Jan. Lost 10lbs in first week, so 5 or more will get me there! Can't wait to be in 14's really - I start looking 'normal' then - still chunky but ok, if you know what I mean?
How are you getting on?
Ok need to fess up the last 2 or 3 days I have not been on plan. No binges but way too much carbs and .....wine!!! I swear its this snow making me want to hibernate and eat and drink in front of wood/coal burning stove!!
In answer to your question Fairy I was doing vlcd (switched from cd to S&S) from Sep to Dec the odd planned no carb meals during Dec and then Christmas ......and again brilliantly for over a week and now....gotta get my buzz back.
