Morning ladies

I was 100% (but no mermaid) on Sunday 7 April AND Monday 8 April.

Slim, I'm assuming thats meant to read 4 1/4lbs - (think thats 1.9kgs? - Enlighten??)
Who else can I show their 10kg loss's for?

Well done Lauren and Victoria on your 100% days - I know how hard it is to go to bed with your tummy growling, on those days its better to have the additional shake than to eat.

Kids back at school so life resumes to normal.

There is 2.2lb to 1kg so your lose is 1.93kg. Well don't that's a great lose and motivator to keep going

 

[Jillybeans]

Thanks for the conversion Laura - I know how to convert lbs, but not the 1/4! LOL! Have updated the chart accordingly...

Slim, I'm assuming thats meant to read 4 1/4lbs - (think thats 1.9kgs? - Enlighten??)
.

Jilly, this is how fractional losses are calculated:

2.2lb= 1kg - (Equation A)

1 lb = 1/2.2 = 0.4545kg - (Equation B)

So, from Equation B: 1/4 lb = 0.4545kg X 1/4 = 0.4545/4 = 0.1136 kg - (Equation C)

And also from Equation B: 4 lb = 0.4545kg X 4 = 1.818 kg - (Equation D)

So 4 and 1/4 lb = 4lb +1/4lbs = 1.818 kg + 0.1136 kg = 1.9316 kg - ( From Equation C & D)

Hope this is clear, Jilly, in case you need to calculate other fractional losses like these.

I think you can do the 1/2's and 1/4s..... I failed maths in school! :cry:

ok...no problem....I'll do them if needed...but anyway, I don't think there will be too many fractional losses!

And it's great to see that you have put up a chart for the 10kg mini challenge !

Elaha since you are in your 3rd week, it is not a problem to introduce the bars into your diet. But make sure you do not have more than 1 a day, as it is higher in calories and more than one can take you out of ketosis. Some people find that their weight loss stalls when they start having the bars. And it is not as filling as the shakes or soups. So keep a close watch on your weight to see if the bars affect your losses and then decide how further you want to proceed...

 

[Jillybeans]

What Slim said....

Plus, I heard/read that the bars are high/er in carbohydrates (as opposed to the shakes and soups), and so this may slow down your weight loss. What some ladies do is break it up into pieces, and have a PIECE at a time instead of a whole bar.

Hi I new in this site. I'm on day 9 of camberidge ad iv lost 9lbs! Problem is that I'm freezing cold and every time I drink water my body shivers! My mood is fouls and I'm very emotional. I'm no longer hungry but I wanted a bigger loss

Elaha, many people have bars daily no problem (including myself), you have to make sure you drink extra water though!! otherwise, you may have probs in the evacuation dept ​

Welcome Jadecurtis and congrats on your 9lb loss! Yes you will feel cold - thermogenics are thrown off when you are at such low cals. However, weightloss is great. Drink your water at room temp (some people think it's gross - but I do so coz I have sensible teeth). Also, that's why I love the vegetable soup, I make them in about 1l of water, helps get the water down - think bouillon)

No remedy for foul mood or emotions - sorry, you just stick to it, the results will soon bring a smile to your face!

Hi Jadecurtis and welcome to the site!

Everything that Enlightenme said, and the moods... I can relate! I was horrendous the first 2 weeks! My poor kids (and neighbours!).... but it will settle down in a couple of days.... its your body suffering withdrawels, and once you are more settled into the routine of the diet, your emotions will calm down a bit. Hang in there ! 9lbs in the first week is brilliant - why are you disappointed in your loss?

Keep the water intake up.
