WHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP!!!

Back in jeans I haven't been able to wear since April 2011!!!!!

Were just a tad too tight last week, but today, they even feel a bit loose!
Well chuffed, and VERY proud of myself!!

And THIS is the reason this diet is soooooo worth sticking to, even if I have had to have a little more on a couple of days!

Happy dancing all day for me!!

[NatM70]

Thank you lovely Ladies!!

I am so chuffed!

I've eaten out AGAIN today! Mum's birthday - I only managed one shake this morning, then have been out all day, so had a poached salmon and egg salad - was delish! When I asked for eggs instead of potatoes, I never expected FIVE of the blighters, lol! But, I ate them all, because, well, I felt like it!

So, I am over by 100 cals, BUT my carbs are just over 20g so I know I'm okay! I hope so anyway, lol!!

hope you've all had a great day?

Nat that's fantastic!! Well done. I am going to take my inspiration from you totally. I think I need more calories on this diet and you have jut proved to me it is possible xx

 

[beelishy]

brilliant!!!! oh i am soooooooooooooo pleased for you!!! Im definitely going to up my calories. I think i will try to add in another pack and see if that works. your success this week just proves that it is possible that that is the problem for a lot of people (like me! WI tomorrow and so far only down 2lbs this week). So I am going to fearlessly add another pack making 4 plus my eggs and see how it goes. xx Inspiring, Nat! Well done!

What veg do you normally have?

Nat that's fantastic!! Well done. I am going to take my inspiration from you totally. I think I need more calories on this diet and you have jut proved to me it is possible xx

Am smiling at your message

Yes, I don't think it's necessary for us to starve ourselves now. I've eaten out three times, and had a little bit of chicken tikka from hubby's takeaway, so have stuck to allowed foods, but have eaten more. The last four days I've been between 750-850 cals with one day at over 1,000 cals!

If I've been hungry, I've had an extra boiled egg, salad, salmon, and chicken.
Yesterday when I went out for Mum's birthday, I asked for boiled eggs instead of new potatoes with my poached salmon, and they brought me FIVE, lol! I ate them all, and it's had no effect whatsoever!!

The body can't last forever on so few cals - it goes in to starvation mode and that obviously slows the metabolism and slows weigh loss. I thought by giving it a boost it may help, and it has

I heard that not only does the body burn fat, it also eats muscle. As my heart is a muscle, I didn't quite fancy that, so decided to tailor the diet to suit me, and it's working!
Just hope it carries on to!!
I'm not going to over eat everyday, but if I think I need it I will, and definitely one day a week going over 1,000 cals!

Happy, happy, happy!

Stick with it, it WORKS, and you can still eat more and lose weight!

Have a great day! xxx

Morning lovely!

Trying to type this with Max messing around on my lap, lol!!

Thanks honey, I am so happy and VERY surprised, with going over for the last 4 days!

I think that's a brill idea to give your metabolism a boost! Am excited to hear your results!! Don't be afraid to go over now, esp now we know it works just as well, if not better! Even have more eggs per day if you like!!

I tend to stick to - broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, leeks, lettuce, & cucumber. Though S&S did say these weren't the extensive list, so to check if you can have it, just type a veggie in to the planner to check stats (but I guess I'm telling you to suck eggs there, lol!!).

Have a GREAT day lovely! xxx

 

[Lou_G]

WA-hay!! Well done for your 4lbs loss that is BRILLIANT

 

[Periwinkle]

OMG 4 pounds is amazing!!! Whatever you're doing keep doing it!!! Makes me think that the 600 cals is silly (considering my loss track record)! Have a great day xxx

 

[NatM70]

WA-hay!! Well done for your 4lbs loss that is BRILLIANT

Thanks Lou!

I never expected that in week 3, but I'm not going to complain about it lol!!

How're you doing?

Thanks Peri!

That's what I thought - I never did stick to the rules, lol!!
So, I tailored it - not cheating, as I only eat allowed foods, but some days I eat more of them. Trying to trick my body - I think it may be working.....we'll see!!

How're you lovely?

[Periwinkle]

You were dead right xxx You've only got a stone left to goal now!!!! WOW! You're gonna smash your goal date - I'd bet big money on it!!!

How're you lovely? xxx

Gah, not great. I'm feeling kinda low and stressed today. Wish I could escape for a week. Things will probably look better tomorrow.

Gah, not great. I'm feeling kinda low and stressed today. Wish I could escape for a week. Things will probably look better tomorrow.

If I am, I am going to set up my own VLCD diet Company, and tell people to EAT MORE, lol! Reckon it'll work!

I want to eventually reach 10st, because I know I can put 4-6lbs back on in water straight away. I am HOPING I can maintain that!! We'll see
Hope so, because it's a loooooooong time since I've been that weight, and I am very happy at that.
I don't want to be too thin - it's not a good look!

Strange, when I met hubby, I was 8st 4lbs and I thought I was fat lol! I used to wear support tights - what I doughnut I was!
Then I stabilised at around 9st 4lbs for ages, then the weight crept up, but I really am okay at around 10st 7lbs - especially with my age - I think too thin = very ageing!!

Aww honey!

This diet is a killer on the mood front - I have had some very 'down' days, so I can imagine how you feel. I think we all need some sunshine, that always brightens my mood.
Really hope it's just a fleeting feeling and you're feeling better tomo. It's horrible enough being on such an intense diet, never mind feeling so low too - double whammy! Really hope you feel better after a good night's sleep my lovely
