i will get weighed on monday so i will know what damage i have done while being away. but i hope that maybe over the weekend i can drop a couple of pounds...
i hope to start full time again on monday..... ive got a fair few bars and packs left, so not intending to see my cd lady again until i ahve used all those, and then i will see how i get on from there....
oh boy.... i feel a lot better this morning... (ask me before pilates and i would ahve said i was 100 times worse) i was crying this morning... i dont really know how to control it, but i have to just let it out.. but im sure it will go with time. but after a bit of exercise and relaxation i feel a little more refreshed.
work is challenging, as the little boy that i look after is getting right into being a ........................... and the little girl is starting to learn how to push buttons... (although she knew how to do that before christmas)

Why Be Normal?
Hi Kes,
I started doiing low carb and upping my water, then using packs I had on hand to SS for about a week before I went to see my CDC. So, the excess weeing, carb withdrawl and then hard core no food -- did not hit me all at once. Then after week one -- i started trying to exercise more and hope to so at least 3 classes a week, plus walking -- and maybe even some stuff at home. (But I do not want to go over board like I did when I did LL... because when I stopped exercsing is when I started regaining.)

Welcome back, Kes. Nice to see you on the boards again. Just take your time and ease yourself back into Cambridge. That's what I'm doing. I'm doing the CD810 and alternating CD1000 plans at the moment till I can officially restart with my CDC on SS+ in February.
Good luck! Hope to chat soon. x

well my lovelys i started again yesterday,.. not exactly 100% yest. or this morning, but ill get back into it...
i put on 13.5lbs over the christmas/australia trip.. so a little gutted with that. but i had a fab time, and i know its because i went from not having anything to eating, without doing the correct steps, so i know when i get to goal, i will be able to do the right thing to get back eating.
but for now. its ss+ (the one with 4 shakes/bars/porridge and skimmed milk....) i dont usually use all the skimmed milk from the allowance, and if i can get a few days in with only being ss... then i will be over the moon.
im also going to write on here what i have had... so that i can keep track.. (and also be honest in what i ate..... in hope that it will be straight and narrow from now on... or i give you permission to kick me up the bum!!)
soooo yest...
i had...
Monday 17th Jan
Breakfast: Apple and Cinnamon porridge
Lunch: chocolate shake
afternoon: 1 cup bouillon (not sure if this is at all allowed, but it was nice to have something warm (other than coffee))
Dinner: Cappuccino shake
and an choc orange bar..
drink: Coffee: 2ltrs.... nothing else... Need to up my water... (from nothing to somethign)
naughtys..... 2.5 slices of bacon.... and some salami...
shoudnt have had these, and going to try not to eat any of those things today.
weight (on home scales): 11 stone 13.4lbs

hey and well done at getting back on it . As long as the things you ate are proteins then you wont do too much harm !!
13.5 lb isnt too bad for the trip of a lifetime you had .. I gained 18 lb in the 2 weeks over christmas but have lost it all in the 2 weeks I have been back on ( not 100% either ) so I am sure you will have it off really soon
How close are you to goal , i bet you arent far off
Good luck

i have about 31-38lbs to go...
not sure if i just wanna stop at 140lbs (10stone) or go to 9stone 7lbs..
well i have just had a seroius case of the shakes... didnt know what the hell to do... felt really wierd...... not had this before. is this normal....
i gave in to having a few pices of chocolate (thinking maybe my body needs some sugar) and some dried fruit and nuts....
hope that was ok.. (i know ketosis isnt gonna happen after that.. but hey ho..)
i hope i dont get that again.. was quite scary.

Hey Hun I don't think that gain is too bad, you'll have it off in no time. I think you're doing the right thing easing yourself into ketosis with SS+ I ended up having quite a few shakes to get me there. Maybe have some chicken and prawns in the fridge just in case you get the shakes again. Sending positive vibes xx

im ok and doing well...
well i was... lol hehehehehe
yesterday was a 100% day for me.. which means i can HONK!! lol...
how ever i just had a little bit of bacon and cheese... so today cant be classed as a 100% day...
ive been chatting to hubby, and i really dont want to get down about this whole dieting thing again.... a year and a half of dieting and constantly looking at what you eat really has gotten the better of me and i just really want it to stop.... but i cant until i reach my goal... and im torn really on what i want to do... if i want to get it off quick and then its done.
or enjoy life a little more with my husband, and then see how fast/slow the whole thing happens...
sooooooo we have come to agreeing...
Fridays, sats, and sundays im going to have 2 shakes/porridge/bar what ever.... and then a meal. fridays used to be low fat curry nights (made ourselves) and becuase i was taking xenical (sometimes still do...) they were all low fat... so we are going to go back to this.im just going to have a smaller portion, and less rice than i used to.
then on a sat we will ahve a low carb meal either out (depending on what we do.. for eg this weekend we are going for a walk along the river in henly, so we usually go to zizzis or cafe uno... so instead of going there, we will go somewhere that i can ahve chicken and salad (which i could prob get from there....) lol and if we get asked (like we used to) by his parents to go to thiers for sunday lunch (which was also low fat without being cooked in oils etc because of the tablets i was on) we are going to say yes again....
this sunday we are off seeing our god daughter and thier family... and last time we went to see them it was like my whole world caved in and i became down and depressed about not having a social life (not that food rules everything, but it would have been ncie to be able to have a meal with them.)
so this is also going to allow for this...
im not going to say im going to go up to 1000, or 1500 say... because i dont want to start the whole cal counting until i need to. (dislike it with a passion to be honest)...
sooo thats what im gonna do.. then monday-thursday im going to stick to ss or ss+... which im thinking today... was a ss+ day LOL... hehehehe so i could say ive had a 100% day... if thats all i ahve lol... or am i completly delisional!!!

well....
after long thinking, im extending those meals...
i feel like ive lost my mojo, and im so indecisive!!... so im going to start off (if i can drop the pounds i wont have to go down the steps) but im kinda doing 1000....
im having 2-3 packs. (breakfast, lunch, and a bar) so that i get through the day...
some days like monday and tuesday my hubby is out, so im going to have a 4th pack on those days, but for the rest of the week, im going to have the low fat meal. and try and make it low carb/cal as well...
im also going to start to attempt to count the cals and fat etc, so my fitness pal is going to come back in handy...
i really want to lose the weight, but i dont wanna feel down about it all...
i feel like this week i have put on weight though... so will wait and find out tonight when i go to get weighed...
also saw in asda, the biggest loser products... i know they are more cals than the cd but some of them (like the bars) are lower in carbs (from what i can see) so i got a few bars, and shakes just to try them (as when they are on offer like they are now they are cheaper) so thought i could save some money, and come completly off cd...
BUT!! i wont be doing that... the bars are ok. although a little dry... tasty, but dry... the shakes, hmmm really hard to explain, but they have no flavor really.. i had the choc mint one today, and its virtually tasteless... sooooo once all the biggest loser stuff is gone, i wont be buying anymore of those, cheaper or not, its not nice.. lol. so back to cd lady it will be...
i just feel so down at the moment, and if its not going to snap out of me soon, im going to go and see the dr about it.
i just cant be dealing with wanting to stay in bed all day everyday....
i have a week of in the half term, so im thinking about booking loads of treatments just to pamper myself, get back to being me and get things done i want to do. im going to be going to a friends house too that week, so im going to enjoy that....
ive got lots to look forward to this year, so i have no excuse to being glum....
if anyone can find my mojo!!!

Hey , I think everyone feels a bit deflated after xmas and maybe after the build up to your trip and the wedding etc , you have now come back to earth !!! I also feel the same about the dieting , I have been doing it on and off for 14 months now and i just wish i could get back to some sort of normality ( not the normality that saw me at nearly 19 stone but at least eating real food again !!) this dieting takes over your life and I am starting to get a bit down about it all too !!
I think i would struggle to do 100 % all week then eat at the weekend , but if you think it may suit you then give it a go . Its so hard to decide what to do for the best but whatever you decide its not set in stone , so if it doesnt suit you then try something different !!
I hope you succeed whatever you decide to do

hi, i did ss sun-thurs for most of last year and it does help to maintain with very slow weight loss. it got me through some bad times when i was feeling low but you really have to get back on it on your agreed date. i too am struggling a bit and feeling low. when i had a bad time lastyear cd really helped me at least maintain my loss, but now i am ready to come off but dont know where to go to lose the last stone. let me know how you get on!
