[Eternalflame]

Hi Kez

Good luck with CD, I had a good weekend, but naughty food wise, So was debating to go back to CD for a few days as have a few spares, but still debating, lol. xx

 

[cornishkez]

I'm feeling really cheerful, considering how crappy my body feels. Am also seriously aching from my uphill stonk on Sunday.

Nikki - why not follow it for a few days, even if it is just to give yourself a boost back into weight loss?

Fran - Come join me in my misery! lol

 

[franbella21]

Ha ha its been 10weeks.misery.now lol bad times what are we like! X

 

[Surfhunny]

Kez, I've been exactly the same, spent all afternoon with bright red face and now I've got a stinking headache. Think I might be coming down with something - hope not though, I don't do ill lol.

I knew I couldn't stick at SS for long, I had chicken for tea, but chucked half of it in the bin, it wasn't very nice, cost almost a fiver for 2 chicken breasts and the one I had was all chewy and had stringy tendon bits in it, not nice - I am so fussy about my food.

Can I join your little misery gang too? I don't know what to do with myself, I'm fed up with being on CD, but I know if I even try anything else I'm setting myself up for failure a couple of weeks down the line. I guess I'll give it until my birthday at the end of them month and then see where I am. Grrr, not looking forward to WI tomorrow at all, just hope I haven't gained after my little meltdown!!

Argh! I jumped on the scales when I got in and I have put half a lb on. Now on one hand I should be chuffed, because usually you put on a few lbs during the day right?! So to stay the same is good, but I am sooooo impatient. I want to have lost! Got sw weigh in tomoz and I wanted to have some amazing weight lose. But as of today it's only half a lb. So by tomorrow, if I am lucky that might be 2lbs. Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!!!

Grrr...so angry with myself for eating yesterday. Today is Day 1 all over again and the headache is back. So now got to cook tea for OH and make his packed lunch and am starving. I'm going to be in bed by 9! Stocked up on paracetamol no doubt.

Hmmppphhh... (that was me throwing a strop and crossing my arms, by the way)

 

[Surfhunny]

I deliberately haven't been back on the scales today, went on this morning and had lost 1lb, but I don't think it was a real loss, I'm not even going to go on tomorrow, I'll wait and see what the official Scales of Doom have to say at WI.

 

[cornishkez]

We must of crossed whingy posts...lol!

Have you thought about what other diets you could do? You can't do CD for the rest of your life. Which ones have you tried before?

 

[cornishkez]

I should just chuck the scales out and be done with it...but then I would only go and use the wii!

 

[Surfhunny]

Lol I know, and I don't intend to, I did SW for years and even though I intially lost about 2st over the course of a year, after that I just maintained, so that's kind of my maintainance plan, doing a modified version of SW. I'll be ok in a few days, I go through phases like this now and again where I feel like its all totally hopeless, then I usually work extra hard, have a decent loss and get my faith back in CD.

I'm being silly really and I think I'm letting Tactless Tessie get to me a bit. People at work have started to notice I've lost more weight and the compliments have started again, so that ought to keep me going really. I'm just frustrated by all these small losses recently.

 

[cornishkez]

Has TT said anything out of order since the other day? I think SW is the best plan to follow for maintenance, it's common sense all wrapped up in a pretty bow!

What can I eat that doesn't contain any carbs? Can I eat mushrooms. I'm cooking spag bol and I could grill some mushrooms to munch on?! I don't want tuna again, ate nearly a whole tin earlier.

 

[franbella21]

scales are evil!!! i can weigh upto 7 lbs difference from morn to night, i just dont understand it lol. i really try and just weigh on a thurs morn at home before i have wi but i normally end up giving in and having a peek at some point.

i have been thinking about how i will cope after cd and my conclusion is sw, i like almost everything that you can have freely but on the other hand do i really want to diet for the rest of my life but then i certainly dont want to put back on what i lost and go through this again lol.

 

[Surfhunny]

TT hasn't said anything today but I didn't really give her the chance, she only said something about even when she was skinny (she's pregnant not fat) she couldn't fit into clothes from Kookai. I wasn't really listening to her, but she's one of these people who is obsessed with their weight even though there's not a speck of fat on them, very annoying. She's hating being pregnant because she thinks she's fat and she's even dieting to avoid putting on weight - and she thinks what I'm doing is crazy??? I try to avoid her to be truthful, but she always seems to be in the staff room at the same time as me.

Fran I don't really see SW as a diet if you're maintaining, more like guidelines really, and like you say commone sense lol. When I was maintaining I was kind of loosely following SW, sticking with the red and green principles but having the odd extra healthy extra here and there and extra syns.

Am watching Supersize vs Superskinny to make myself feel better - is that bad?

 

[lyndzi76]

Just a question. Why would you choose SW to maintain over WW?

 

[Surfhunny]

I find WW far too restrictive, I'm a bit of a fussy eater and I've tried WW a few times but end up just buying the ready meals and I'm trying to get away from that. I know SW inside out and I don't really know WW points etc so it'll be harder for me. It's purely a personal preferance.

 

[cornishkez]

Agree, SW is much easier to follow! I tried WW once and it was so hard having to check the point vaue of everything. At least on SW, you know whats free and what isn't.

That said, my sister can't get on with SW at all and much prefers WW. So guess it's just down to preferance?!

Hi Nikki, not given up on SW. But annoyed with myself for all the cheating and the poor 1lb loss last week. Had a load of sachets left over from CD, so figured I'd try to use them up and give myself a boost.

I have only got 2 days worth of sachets left and my CDC wouldn't be able to see me until Thursday so very, very undecisive about what to do.

I did well on Sunday and for most of yesterday, but flaked in the evening. So today I would like to be back on, but haven't brought any shakes or anything to work?! So am starving at the moment, but have nothing to eat (or drink). Don't know whether to do SW, but just starve myself for a few days.

If I had succeeded in completing day 2 and then day 3 of CD then I would have gone to see the CDC and maybe gone back on for another week. But now I just don't know! lol

Ooohh Kez, you are in a pickle hun. That makes 2 of us :wave_cry:. Last week I lose 4lb on SW, had a very bad weekend diet wise and cont'd yest too, so much that got on scales this morn (as you do to get back on track) and got the shock of my life!!! Put on 5lb!! Can that be right?? Flipping well annoyed with myself, so doing green SW day today and have abt a week supply of CD left, so gonna do that from tomorrow for a week. Then off for the weekend to Potters, get this.. line dancing weekend :8855: and netball, LOL. Didn't plan it that way, just the theme, but OMG, its also an Hawiian night on the Sat too, so need to shed that 5lb, plus a few more.. which I'll only end up putting back on right.. especially with the booze that weekend.. but that will pretty much put me back in the place I first started 2 weeks ago. So begin again as we do.

I like CD, as you don't have to think about food, but you can't go out socially, and be that baby in the corner sipping water all night, its just not life! Other hand, its a fast weight loss, but also it goes on quick too, once you have a few days off plan. SW.. is easy to follow, as long as you stick to it, easy peasy.. and you loose.. plus its also social, you can go to the pub and have a meal, be it small, saving syns for a bigger one or a salad , but you can also have the odd vodka and diet coke too.

So that looks like its put me between the 2, so undecisive and know its not practical to do one week on CD and 3 weeks on SW.

Hey ho!! Tomatoe and Herb Mug Shot for my 11's and pasta and sauce for my 2pm lunch, lol.. Gonna do Speg Carbonarra later with quark,laughing cow lights and some ham and mushrooms and lots of Black Pepper . Food today, and lots of the free stuff and then nothing but milkshakes for the week from tomorrow.

Happy days or what, lol. x

 

[cornishkez]

Rubbish isn't it?! lol. I haven't been 100% on CD, I've picked at things here and there. But tried to make them goodish things. Like chicken, steak, egg and cheese. In the vague hope I might hit ketosis, but nothing last night.

There is no way I can afford to do CD for a few months yet, especially seeing as I am about to go and meet the vet for my horse in a sec (he's gashed his leg and I think infection is setting in). More bills!

So, like you I am stuck on what to do. I am out of shakes after today and have SW wi tonight, so guess the sensible thing would be to come off CD and back onto SW. But now that I've managed the first 3 days of (almost) 100% CD, I don't want to give up. I've done the hard part.

With no shakes to keep me going, I am wondering if I can try to stay in mild ketosis, by following an atkins/red day style diet? And take a good multivit to make sure I'm not missing out on anything?

Also, the scales this morning are showing a loss of 2lbs from last weeks wi, which I am a bit gutted about. But then, I have been mucking about so serves me right really. But it kind of makes me more determined to stick to it, as I want a better loss next week.

Oh dear, what are we like?!

 

[Eternalflame]

Heck knows.. Its that skippery slope of security with CD, but then you know it don't really last and you turn to food, but then you know you're being bad and SW seems the better option because you can have tons of the stuff, lol..

I honestly think that I can stick to SW, if I gave it a "Proppa" chance, CD really is hard to get into, but once you're on a roll, it becomes easy, until you fall off the wagon again.

Blips of life eh! But we brush ourself's off and start again.. so go to your SW class and get your WI, let that push you off to get back on track to do better with SW, stay to group and you'll be much more motivated too. Or make that choice and go back to CD and put SW to bed for now. Either or, give it a really good chance this week and it'll work with what ever you decide. Off soap box, lol. x

 

[cornishkez]

I know what you say is true! My breath is a bit pongy, so might be the start of ketosis, but might just be because I'm not eating anything!

Feeling a bit shaky again, going to go home and do a ketostik, if I am still not in ketosis, then am going to go to SW wi, weigh and then have a lemon hifi bar! Then do SW for the rest of the week, but be uber uber strict. 0 syns, if I can!

If I am in ketosis, then will still go to wi and try to work out what to do from there.
