I am!!!! Just going to try to be 100% SS. Nothing else till June! (12th week break)
I think you're allowed 2 boiled eggs(scrambled,poached etc) per day on SS+ !
Haha. Excellent! You'll have a great loss! x

 

[ludogx]

ohh june is a long time away good luck!!!
i know i wont be able to stick to it religiously until june, hoping can stick to it for 2 weeks at least and then if have a day off here n there and just not go absolutly crazy, think if i dont i will go insane eventually,
i know a girl who actually only does it mon-fri and then does what she likes at the weekend and still manages to lose about 3lbs a week lol i wouldnt trust myself to do that though

Thank you! I know it's long. But it's a short time of my life. And really need to lose this weight before I see my family in the summer!
I could NEVER do that. If I have a day off, that's it for me. I'll fall off the wagon big time. Too scared so I don't wanna eat till I have to. Happened last time I started this diet and failed miserably. After just one day of eating during Easter, I went crazy so determined not to make same mistakes. Good luck with your journey. We CAN do this! And who knows? Maybe you'll stick to it without food? x

I hope i can do it as long as possible, last year i done it without any cheats and lost a stone b4 my holiday hit, then i just kind of half hearted done it and then gave up 4 weeks before my holiday haha
Just need to take one wee day at a time. Really do hope i can stick to it coz the girl am going on holiday with is tall and already skinny so i dont want to be the wee fat dumpy pal on holiday!! Haha x

Yep. Don't overwhelm yourself with how long. Take it a day at a time and I'm sure you'll do it!!!
Ugh. One of my best friends is skinny and beautiful. So I know how you feel! Use that as motivation! Just think how good you'll look

 

[RedRose2013]

So far so good! Going strong and nearly 5 weeks in! It's crazy how time is flying by!
Bars are a Godsend ! Dunno what I'd do without them!! Keeps me sane! All this liquid would make anyone go crazy. 0_o
Soooo tempted to weigh myself everyday. But avoiding the scales until Wednesday (WI day) ! Hope this week was a better loss than last week. Really want to see 13 on the scales!!! Fingers cross that'll be soon

 

[RedRose2013]

Wow... Seeing pictures of me a couple of years ago.. I looked HUGE. (I'll post pics later in the diet) I'm genuinely shocked at how HUGEEEEE I was !!!!! Like, wow. Compared to my friends.... If THAT isn't a motivator, I dunno what is! And many of my friends haven't seen me since the time I was that big, and I'll keep avoiding them till I reach near goal weight. I can't imagine the shocks they'll have xD

 

[ludogx]

theres nothing like looking at old fat pics, i cant beleive the difference in me either, when i was at my heaviest a few fears ago i was 14 and a half stone with short bleach blonde hair haha was not a good look.

your friends will be amazed i cant wait until people start noticing and asking that golden question "have you lost weight" haha

I look at it far too often lol. When I have weak moments, I stare at it!! Keeps me on track! When we look back at those pics, we always think "What the HELL was I thinking?!!"
That day will be amazing. Can't wait for the compliments!!!

Tomorrow is weigh in day. Had a sneaky weigh in this morning. It says I only lost 2lbs. Dunno why its so slow? I've been 100%. Had black coffee, with tab sweetener.. Coke zeros.. Hm.

 

[RedRose2013]

So I'm currently at 14stone 10lbs! 3lbs loss this week.

 

[RedRose2013]

I think this week, I'll start exercising properly. Maybe do 30mins a day on the elliptical trainer. Or walk for an hour. Hoping this will keep me toned once I hit goal!

 

[RedRose2013]

Wow been on here a lot more today!
The beauty of this is that I can ramble on about my thoughts as much as I want

I really want to go for long power walks. But SO conscious of my self. Don't want people seeing me and making judgements. And I know I shouldn't care but can't help it. :/ Need to try and overcome it. This sucks.

Yay to rambling on!! I find it such a stress relief to be able to do that!
Well done on your loss too.

It's very difficult not to care about how people view us but as the saying goes:

[h=1]Those Who Mind Don’t Matter, and Those Who Matter Don’t Mind

Thank you v much! That's so true. I managed to walk 30 mins today. Doesn't seem like a lot but it's something! Will walk 30mins a day. Then do upper body exercises too!!
Hope you're doing ok x

 

[RedRose2013]

I am quite amazed at my will power. All this week I've been offered pizzas, doughnuts, muffins, sweets, chocolate and pastries. All well within my reach, and haven't wavered once. Might be easy to some people, but to me, this is a HUGE achievement. *pat myself on the back* hehe.

However, I will confess that I DID have a few tiny pieces of spinach last night. And a tad too many coke zeros which I will now lay off as its not doing wonders for my stomach and makes me hungry. And I've chewed far too much gum. Laying off that till I absolutely need it!!

Here's to a new day...

 

[RedRose2013]

Feel ashamed to admit this seeing as the above post seemed as if I was so motivated..
Had a tablespoon of black eyed beans(with spices and cooked with some salt in it) AND I believe about maybe 100g or so of cucumber?
I'm so disappointed. I think it's all these coke zeros and chewing gum that's pushed me into eating and really craving. I really am scared that I am out of ketosis...

How the hell do you know if you're out?! Really panicking now I did have about nearly 4litres of water yesterday to compensate. But I just feel awful. Just waking up now. Really thirsty so need to drink.
I promise to keep 100% SS today. Will not eat any bars for at least 2 weeks now for fear that I'm not in ketosis so it might affect weight loss. Gosh, I really hope this hasn't affected weight loss for this week too much. Feel so bad! I know it's not cake or things like that. But it's still not approved food!!!

Really hope to stick to my guns today. After work,'I'm going for 30min walk then 20mins on elliptical trainer after. Not much but it's a start.

 

[RedRose2013]

So day has been good! Had all three shakes now. Nearly 3.5litres. Feeling good. Though I have no idea if I'm not in ketosis after those beans. I don't feel hungry. I WAS really thirsty today so water going down well. Eh.. We'll see how it goes.

Taking things one day at a time
