My Diary...

just a quick update, I sts again and whilst i am pleased i am not gaining i still need to lose the last 14lbs! I suppose i am doing the 810-1000 plan and some days i eat the right amounts and types and foods and other days i dont. I would love to have an ss 100% week but i dont know when this will happen. perhaps, i need to get better mentally first, but i am glad i havent gained!

pls wish me luck as i need to lose the last stone and its looking nigh on impossible.
 
you can do it. i need to do it too but i'm like you at the mo. think it's the last stone that is the grind, so close yet so far away type thing. i'd love to do a ss week too. not going back to cd until november at the earliest and that is if my iron levels are ok. so focus. you can do this.
 
how's it going? are you sticking to it?
 
urghhh! have had a terrible week! have eaten pretty much what i wanted. i must say it was liberating not to be on any diet after what feels like a year of doing it. ive gained about 3lbs and am feeling low.

keep questioning myself but have decided to bite the bullet and go for ss 100% this week. 3 shakes, no deviating.

its so hard to stick to it when i am always in and out of the house but to ease the pressure i am aiming for only 2.5 lts of water a day, and am going to have 3 shakes even if it kills me. if only i could lose some of this last stone i would be so great. i really need some help andmotivation so if you are one of the people who reads my diary but never posts it would mean a lot to me if you came on and helped along this week.

nikki - how you doing?
 
Hi Leeds, nice to hear from you again. We all have days/weeks like that, but I'm sure you'll be ok and get back into the swing of things again. Just focus on that last bit of weight. You're so close now.
Draw a line under last week, and look ahead.
Good luck and here's to a brilliant week. :D
 
hi leeds

i'm doing ok. go weighed last tuesday cause i needed my depo inj. so head out of the sand and i think i've put on no more than 7lbs since stopping cd and doing my own thing. i've been eating pretty much what i want, drinking wine etc but then taking it easy during the week and exercising. not pleased that i've put on half a stone but it could be worse. think i'll need to loose a stone to feel happy but i have no motivation right now. would love to do cd for a few weeks but wouldn't be allowed to do ss or ss+. going for 1500 cals today. not done any exercise today but did clean house and hoover out car. just getting over my body pump class from wed last week. legs killed me. i used to do 2 body pump classes and 1 combat plus 2 gym sessions and 3-4 runs a week. down to 1 class, 2 gym sessions, 3 (short ish - no more than 4 miles) runs. will get back to 2 classes when my legs come to terms with the squats again. want to run every day now though. hip's still sore though so still have an eye on that.

why not do ss+ with 4 shakes instead of 3 just for a week?
 
Leeds - you can do this, you did it before and even though it is hard, the end result is so worth it...

Make this your mantra: NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

Repeat it to yourself when you feel like eating and go and try something on that 'nearly' fits, its what I do then I go and brush my teeth, that really puts me off eating lol! Or I get a hot coffee and sit and sip it, usually takes the edge off for me.

Hi Leeds, just checking in to see how you're doing? You're very quiet, so hope you're ok. Hugz. x
 
touched that my friends have been keeping my diary alive. feeling a bit down ladies, and dont want to moan as i know you all have your own demons. still struggling with work, and the cuts just make for depressing reading. wouldnt it be nice to have some good news once in a while? anyway, I am off plan (did you guess) but cal counting and having my water every day. by the time i come back on plan on sunday (when my shakes arrive) I will be about 3 pounds over from my last weigh in. dreading and looking forward to sunday all at the same time! stick with me if you can!
 
3lbs is not bad. think i'll be starting back soon, mid nov. don't know on what plan. need a push for xmas to be uber slim. need CD as a focus, i'm just not being able to do this alone in the long term.
 
im back and actually shocked myself as for the first time in months i am in the zone. you know that zone you get in where you just SO want to do it and it doesnt seem insurmountable and the hardest thing in the world? well i am there. it just seems so easy and straightforward - 3 shakes = weight loss. its simples right? but so hard to get right sometimes. so back to basics for the next 2 weeks till my bday and strictly ss 100%. I feel good, have had a shake and water and just gonna try and avoid that dreaded headache tonight. wish me luck friends.

off to read some diaries now to see how you all have been getting on!
 
hiya. am delighted to report that i was right! i was in the zone yesterday and managed my first 100% day since June!! wooo hoo. it feels good and i have been 100% today too. yesterday it was deathly - headache nausea dizziness but fine today. I did taste the chicken i was cooking for the kids tea but not worried about that at all. having a good 100% day, no headaches, no hunger and no mood swings. in total i need to lose just under 20lbs to get to goal. 14 lbs loss will take me well into my comfort zone so aiming for that initially and will see how i get on. again, no deadline, but would love to be near 10 stone goal for xmas. thanks for everyone who has supported me and heres so a good 100% all the way to weigh in on saturday!
 
well done for getting back on , I am sure you can loose that last stone in no time :) I have been down to within a stone from goal .. then I had that 6 weeks off for my op and put a stone and a bit on ...... so I am back 100% till I finally get there :)
I am on day 2 today and doing ok , too many temptations but the scales show a massive loss already and I have no headache or anything yet ... so doing ok
 
hi! day 4 and still 100%. no major losses though but its TOM week so wont worry too much.
 
still 100% but TOM came today and i feel really ill. not hungry though so gonna stick with it. also had stressful day at work and resisted the temptation to come home and eat something nice. wish me luck and thank you for your help - all of you!
