Martha's Diary - seeing it through to the end....

[Gemma_Charlotte]

Lol that is so uncool of them. I made pizza earlier for hubby and daughter it was painful lol

I know craving to much. Sushi is my craving for tonight because someone posted it on FB lol cruel people that we are friends with lol

It is hard tho but yay us for resisting! We can enjoy all that stuff again.

Do you have any planned breaks? When do you ideally want to be at target for?

Xx

Smelt so damn good, don't really feel like my last shake tbh but going to make myself have it.

Oooo I love proper sushi!!

Erm would love to have another break at the end of the year but will see if my finances let me. So in some ways it's good I'm not being too hard on myself about meeting target for a particular date. What about you hun xx

I think ideally for Christmas I hope that is realistic lol but by the very latest my birthday at the end of January.

Yes make sure you have ur shake its important.

So you will be on plan until the end of the year? That's really motivating that you don't plan to come off and there's no distractions. I have my holiday and 2 other trips in sept and oct but prob won't come odd plan for the October one.

Exciting to think we will be where we wanna be within the year

No panicking! Have you tried rescue remedy?

You made progress and don't look at it like such a mountain. Make a list and take one thing at a time! It's very soothing to be able to tick things off ur list as each task is completed.

You will get it done babe I believe in you! Just have some faith in urself and try to put urself 1st and get it done in a comfortable way. I hate having lots to do aswell but it always gets done huni

Oh no! Hopeful go down by weigh in time otherwise you may need to consider going up a level - I know you don't want to until 12 weeks but if its what your body needs to lose weight again then maybe worth doing?
i know that when just dieting through healthy eating some people can't lose weight at 1200 calories but can at 1600. It's not logical to eat more and lose but it's your body needing to work properly. Works properly and efficiently you lose weight if it doesn't it just holds onto everything it can x

only true choc so far will try caramel today! X

Yea I hope so too!

Il see what my consultant says on weds anyway.
Maybe bumping up will get things moving again.
Then I always have the option to come bk down. I also know I'm due TOTM around the end of next week so that could be causing a little water retention.

Wishful thinking anyway!

How's ur day going so far?

[marthacol1988]

Been feeling so sick since about 4pm.

Headache, my stomach is sore, quite flushed and feeling so sleepy.

No idea why! Think I am maybe having an off day!

Hope tomorrow is better as my last exam is at 2.30pm. I cannot wait for freedom

Hope everyone is doing good xx

OH NO! How are you feeling this morning!! Hope you're not under the weather - not good on SS!

Hope your feeling better today!!

found this article interesting which might help out with your slowing down of weight loss seeing as I know your drinking caffeine regularly?




Does caffeine affect ketosis?


This is questionable. There ARE a few studies that suggest caffeine may cause blood sugar to rise, with consequent effect on insulin ... The studies involve consuming 50 gm glucose orally, followed by a dose of caffeine. This is quite different from a low carber, who is consuming only 20 gm carbs, in the form of high-fiber vegetables, spread throughout the day.


Many low carbers continue to enjoy caffeine-containing beverages with no serious impact on their weight-loss efforts. However, there are some sensitive individuals ... and persons who are extremely insulin resistant may need to restrict or even eliminate all caffeine. If you have been losing successfully then find your weight loss stalled for a month or two, and you are following your program to the letter, you might consider stopping all caffeine for a while, to see if that will get things started again.

Well ladies I am free! No studying for 4 months And it feels soo good

Glad to see ul b joining us coral

Treated myself to some beautiful skin care products today which makes me so unbelievably happy.

Net my friend for a cuppa and a good natter so having an all round positive day!

Made the hubby let me look at the scales this morning for a happy factor before my test and I am pleased to say I've dropped another 2.5lb since weds!!! Won't look again until weds weigh in. I nvr understand with my weekly weigh-ins at home I nvr ever move in the 1st week then by 2 days into the 2nd week I drop! Hoping for good things on weds

Also! He's hiding the scales in the car! The bugger!! Lmao

How's everyone doing? Remember the weekend is not an excuse to cheat! It's just like every other day!

So happy I have the support of you all! Makes it all the easier and I appreciate you all more than you realise!

Love you guys
