Haha I know you should!

Yeh he gets terrified but that's okay I'm more interested in wearing shorts and a tshirt for the first time this summer and looking hot! :flirt2:
 
Okay went out to dinner for my bosses 60th last night, it was an Indian (what else) once again I resisted all the poppadoms, nann bread and birthday cake. I had chicken kebab starter and then chicken tikka for main course.
Haven't been on the scales for a couple of days but I'm not feeling much thinner so think it will be a low loss week. Plus I haven't been to the gym this week apart from yoga.

Hope all are having a good week :D
 
So I'm struggling today, stupidly got on scales whist am a tad constipated and it showed no change :( now every food I see makes me wanna eat it, usually I'm quite strong but today I'm just like Ergh.... Powering through tho....
Gym tomorrow that will sort my head out
 
Had roast lamb today with green beans, a little carrot and broccoli, had some gravy too though not a lot, as it's mothers day and my mum always tried to force feed me some pudding I had some strawberry's and a table spoon of cream, not too many cals and low carb (it was my pudding of choice when on Atkins)
I'll have my last shake as a hot chocolate later, I've started adding a spoon of pure coco powder and a sweetener to hot chocolate shakes, makes it real yummy and doesn't add extra carbs.

Think I'm due on again as had a little cramp earlier and been feeling super emotional, last night i had a real panic about how fat I am, even despite the fact I'm the lowest weight I've been in over two years, I've got 5 weeks to go till my holiday, desperately want to at least be in the nines but I really don't feel like I'm going to have a good loss this week, hoping for at least 2lbs but ideally I wanted 4/5lbs, I've got NO social events this week do will be TS for the next 6 days so fingers crossed if this week isn't amazing next week will be.

I suppose I can still hope to loose LOADS in the next 3 days till weigh day (doubt it) :(
 
So I've struggled today, think I've accidentally kicked myself out of ketosis as I'm STARVING! I've ended up having half a chicken breast with some low fat cathedral city cheese and a Thai chicken soup, not ideal but all ketosis friendly at least, will try and be completely TS tomorrow, have has 4 litres of water today, I've not been drinking enough water lately (averaging 2 litres sometimes less) so hoping this impacts on weightless and I have a good weigh in on weds,

Hope all have had a good day :)
 
The differnce in how you will look between your current weight and the nines will be amazing. I find once i get below 9st 10lbs i can wear a plastic bag and still look good. Nothing wobbles (cept whats supposed to) and it feels great. It is totally doable for you to get to the nines by your hol date. It is worth doing. It will feel so good. Be 100% today and see how the buzz will be back.

Hey belle! I'm determined to get there! The lowest weight I've ever been is 11st 3lbs an I remember feeling amazing then do if I can get to goal the OH will struggle to keep me clothed as I will be wearing short skirts, shorts and dresses with little tshirts constantly!!
Hows your weightloss going? If I was on any other diet I know I would have given up by now but there is something about exante that keeps me going and I think I know what t is... MINIMINS!! Love tho forum and everyone on it! Really helps keep me motivated on down days!

Okay weigh in today, I am try scared, will be venturing onto the scales in around half an hour after getting makeup sorted and dog walked before work!
Also had a slim and save sample for tea last night, REALLY liked it however I won't be switching, think I'll just get the odd meal from then as a change to shakes, porridge and bars (completely gone off the soups),
I'll be back soon with weight eeeeeek
 
So.... 11st 6lbs (only just) which means a 2lb loss this week, alot less than I would have liked but a small loss is still at least a loss, TOTM came this morning so here's hoping at next weeks weigh in I'll have lost LOADS due to water retention ;)
 
Hold on there. You had chicken kebabs and tikka etc the other night and a roast dinner you're complaining about a two lbs loss!??? Its a grest diet (yep i LOVE it too) but its not magic. 2lbs is great. Superb. Fantastic. Next week will be better post totm but CELEBRATE the 2lb. You seem to be able to eat AND lose weight. I cannot do that and am totally jealous at this moment. I'd be up two pound of i so much as looked at a roast dinner....

Belle
 
I have to be honest I am quite lucky that I can eat 2/3 times a week and still lose, This week will be a good week as I will be doing 6 solid days of TS (even though Monday I had a wee bit of chicken etc) if I tried t be TS all the time I think I would go mad, plus my social life seems to have skyrocketed since I started this diet (either that or I am suddenly realising just how often I used to go out and eat naughty things) I have though developed will power of steal to not go mental with orders when out at dinner - Its just so tempting!!

I've upped the water too so heres hoping for a nice big 4lb+ loss next week to stop me panicing about getting to goal!!!!
 
Well for the first time in five weeks I have fallen off the wagon, I went out for a drink with a close friend, we ended up having food, I was SOOOO sensible for starter and main and then.... Sticky toffee pudding and a white wine!!!!!!!! I feel terrible!!!! However going to try not to beat myself up, going to go to the gym tomorrow and be TS for next few days, going to forgo Sunday dinner and try and purge myself so I don't put on, needless to say I am out of ketosis and I'm sure next week there will not be a loss, I am praying I can stay the same (never thought I'd say that) will ramp up the exercise to try and make up for this toffee based blip, I'm not going to binge I'm going to be sensible and get back on track....
Crickey I'm bloated now!!!!!
 
Niennor, Hope you had a lovely evening and stop beating yourself up. You know you are not that overweight and you could go off on hols just as you are. So let a little light in and relax. Its ok. You don't have to strangle yourself with guilt over one dinner. My idea of a breakout is would involve a six pack of something.

I overdid my AAM a couple of weeks ago and I worked out how many calories I had eaten and then I did exercise to use up that many calories the following day. I never came out of ketosis!! Believe it or believe it not.

Tried to reply earlier jut my app crashed and couldn't be bothered to re write the three paragraphs again! Anyway! Belle you are so right! I had a lovely evening with a good friend and I don't regret the pudd as it was YUM!
I've woken up dusted mysel off and moved on, I've ended up having a slim and save day by accident, I ordered the sample pack and decided to try the muesli bar this morn (YUCK) had the mushroom pasta for lunch (YUM) an just now had the chocolate crunch shake which is more of a mouse than shake, will have a hot banana shake later too, have to say I liked it ALOT however don't panic I won't convert, I do think though that I will mix the two diets exante bars and porridge with a s&s meal/soup/shake each day for a while, slim and save has a good choice so it's tempting, cost wise doesn't bother me as its negligible it's just the bar issue, there's are SOO small, they are lower in cals etc too so I think I'll definitely stick with my exante ones, haven't tried the porridge yet tho!
Anyways enough yabbering I'm off for a shower as in a sweaty betty from the gym!

Love to you all (I'm feeling happy)
:D
 
Thats fantastic, Niennor. 100% AND a trip to the gym. You'll soon be skinny.

How is your waist shaping up for a bikini. Sorry to ask such a personal question but i am becoming concerned about how my waist is going to turn out - will it be all flabby or will it have good tone. I plan on taking out the old hoola hoop once i get to 11 stone to tone up the abs that the gym cant reach!!

Belle
 
Well, my waist is great but I am a total pear shape, My waist is currently at 31inches but my hips are a 45inches, I've resigned myself to the fact I'll never be a skinny jeans girls as that would just look silly! I'm hoping to shave off around 7 inches from my hips over the next 6/12 months and i'll take what i can get off them for holiday!
I bought a French Connection bikini that was in the sale on asos, its black with a tropical print, makes my boobs look bigger than they are (bonus) and the bottoms have bows on the side which distracts from the big hips issue, I've just ordered one of those cut out suits as I am thinking that will highlight waist so nobody looks at bum, not sure though, have plenty of sarongs if I feel self confident but at this rate I'll feel fab as even when I'm bad I am feeling okay about it once I have rationalised with myself!!
My sister is the same, we have junk in our trunks! however she is a slim size 8-10 (she has always been the slim one you see) but she dresses really well so you cant tell, I'm taking fashion styling from Kim Kardashian as she has a bigger booty but look amazing, just wish my boobs would stop shrinking!!!!

Gym was hard but I like that after exercise feeling I get when I go, did loads of squats the gym trainer says that will make my bum something to be proud of (I am starting to believe him as its gone from a blob to a rather nice pert ish shape) no gym tonight though! I am managing 3 times a week one of which being Yoga, I dont want to do too much as I know for me exercise isn't something I find a lot of time to do so if I went hardcore any weight I lost as a result would just go back on, I find it easier to just diet and control food intake.
Do you exercise much Belle? hows your waist shaping up, I've found my belly button looks sad if that makes sense, I'm hoping its just as I need to tone and lose more that it will go back to how it used to be when I was 18!!
 
Oh Neinnor, I havent got a waist yet. Its lost somewhere in the flab still. But soon, very soon it will emerge. I have been keeping the exercise down to swimming and walking (some short runs) so far cos I am only on week five and don't want to mess with the plan thats working. I am a member in the local gym though and I am joining in their "Biggest Loser" challenge in two weeks time. I used to love the gym and can't wait to get my hands on those weights. I love the feeling of strength you get after a good workout. I'll have a personal trainer for an hour or so a day guiding me for eight weeks. This may sound a little cocky and premature but I am going to win the challenge. The prize is free six months membership it mine! (I am a little competitive). I will should then be able to continue that regieme to goal. I am planning a holiday mid summer. After three kids I doubt I'll ever wear a bikini again but I'd like to wear shorts and tight tops without a jelly belly.

For now I am still a blob, but am decreasing in size daily. After all this dieting its a surprise to see myself still so fat. I really had let myself go. God.

Belle
 
Oh belle I know what you mean, I'm finally back at the weigh I was 2 years ago when I dieted hard on Atkins and I can't believe I let myself get so big when I'd worked so hard! This diet helps so much though!

Had a weak day yesterday had chicken and cabbage for tea and at about 10pm had such a huge sweet craving ended up having a caramel S&S shake as an extra, it hit the spot but annoyed that I had to have it! U suppose I could of eaten worse things!
Another WS day today for me, the OH surprised me with lunch at Jamie Oliver's Italian, I had 'happy chicken' which is marinated with lemon and thyme served on a tomato and olive salsa with rocket salad! I ate the lot and LOVED it, I'm sure it's higher than the cals I'm allowed as just entered it all into my fitness pal but I'll go to the gym tomorrow to make up for it! I don't feel guilty as it was a lovely lunch date and it was low carb so s'all good in my book :)

Hope all having a good day, I'm avoiding scales at the moment so I have no idea if I have STS lost or aimed this week eeeek
