Hi everyone, I posted on here a little while back but got a bit overwhelmed with replying to so many people about different things so I gave up (sorry)
However, I think I need a bit extra support so would like to give it another go at joining you all if thats ok.
I'm just starting weeks 3 so today is day 16 for me I think. I ate yesterday but need to get back on track now.
I have been reading all you're posts and you're all doing great by the sound of it. Soraya congratulations on being so close to goal that must feel great for you
I haven' joined the bonfire night challenge because that seemed a bit overwhelming too (I'm easily confused lol) so I thought I'd just let everyone get on with that.

Skinny girls r 4 wimps!!
Good morning everyone!
On day 22 today, can't believe I'm into week 4 already although in some ways I feel like I've been on this diet my whole life & in other ways feels like I started yesterday!!!
Had a difficult day yesterday as I had to travel to Dublin to meet my new boss OVER LUNCH so ended up having to explain the whole thing to her....
Anyway, was a difficult day & I would have murdered for a cheese sambo!!! BUT I didn't have one....
TOTM at the moment so the scales isn't showing any loss either so it's all a bit dis-heartening but I am soooo bloated so it's hardly a wonder!!!
Will probably loose half a stone or something in one go next week... (I wish!!!)
Also having a bit of a problem em 'going to the loo' so got some psyllium husks yesterday & had them with a tsp of Marigold Boullion & it was GORGEOUS.. like a lovely thick soup!!!
My first try I put it in a Chicken & mush soup & put it in the blender..yeuck... like a big ball of glue... not nice... had to throw it all away!!!
Also tried some in my choc shake this morning but wasn't as nice & to be honest a bit slimey!!! Couldn't get over the texture.. won't be doing that again...
Anyway, no effect yet but I feel like I have a big ball in my stomach so hope it happens soon!!!
Sorry if too much info for anyone...

Hi Everyone
Nice to hear how everyone is doing. Still a bit grossed out imagining the husks and choc shake
I tend not to lose much near TOTM and then find it evens out the following week.
Been a bit of a slow week this week with the weight loss. My CDC has changed my goal weight from 10st 4 to 10 . I feel like I caved in a bit about it and now feel unsettled that I have 9lbs instead of 5 to go, back to more than 1/2 a stone to lose. Feels like I'm aiming for a moving target.
Mind it's only an extra week on AAM so I shouldn't be too down about it.
Sun's come out so am off to sit outside

Hi guys
Been on a course this week so not been around much but glad to hear that everyone is ok and still plodding on. I'm feeling a bit downhearted this week as I've only lost 2lbs again this week. I could understand it last week as it was TOTM but this week I was hoping for a bit more. Starting to really miss eating as well now so really need some positive encouragement at the mo to keep going as I'm wondering if I'm only going to lose such a little each week whether I might as well do it on a low cal diet as oppose to a VLCD. Positive vibes please!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bluemoon - sorry that you not getting the results ur after
I can really understand where ur coming from - my loss isn't as spectacular as others seem to be...but at least it's consistent and I lose SOME every week - when I tried 'conventional' dieting some weeks I lost nothing...I know you've only lost 2lbs - but have you ever weighed out 2lbs of lard ??? It's a LOT !! have you been 'regular' at the loo ?? (sorry - bit personal !)...could be that you're bunged up ??!!! are you drinking enough water ? are you having a bar a day ? - some peeps find this can slow the loss...chin up hun - you are DEFINITELY losing fat - on so few calories, you can't fail to
hope that helps - and good luck for next week
hugs
Debz Week 6 WI
Hi guys - forgot that I hadn't updated this thread with my WI ! Another 3lbs off this week.... I know it's not as fast as some but at least it's going in the right direction !
Hope you are all well and had a fab weekend....I hate Sundays cos it's just a round of getting organised for the week ahead.....weekends should be (at least) 4days long !!
catch you all during the week

Hi Guys, Had my WI today and lost 1lb. Would have been disappointed usually, but it was TOTM and I had less than a perfect week! Only 4lbs to go now to my original target! Although I might want to get to 10st! Listen to me, I'm so chuffed to be this close.
Debz - well done on the weight loss, hope you have another good week.
Blue Moon - a few weeks ago I lost 0.5lbs and thought TOTM and then the following week lost 1lb and was really fed up. But the week after that I lost 7lbs! I think that every so often your body tries to fight the weight loss and hang onto the fat and water. But the thing with CD is that as long as you're eating the packs and having the water, sooner or later your body has to give up the fat. It simply can't go on with such low cals. I find lose something as long as I'm drinking the water and not eating the bars - they kick me out of ketosis really quickly. Just hang on.
Am away the rest of the week, but hopefully will be able to log in every so often to see how everyone's doing. Hope I survive the danish pastries at the meetings!

Hi all,
Just got my BroadBand installed yesterday so am delighted with myself!!!
I have been doing AAM week this week & have been really bold...well I haven't eaten anything I SHOULDN'T have (except some cheese) BUT it's portion control I just can't get a handle on... I have been eating chicken/quorn and veg but far too much...
Well I will be glad to get back to ssing next week I guess & was thinking of not doing an AAM week again just having 1 meal a week instead as I know some people do as I just can't seem to control my portions, even when I am full, if I know I can eat then...
Having said that however I have managed to kick myself out of keto my stick has been less pink each day & this morning it didn't change colour at all...
Hope everyone is doing OK???

Hi Everyone
Nice to hear from you all. Have my weigh in tomorrow. Ony 4lbs to go and I think I've lost 2 - but will have to wait and see.
Just got to get through tonight - starving but so close determined to finish!
Debz - wow 2 stone FANTASTIC
Slim- I love cottage cheese on celery for the AAM. I used to hate it, but I remembered my CDC saying your tastes can change and she was right. Also if you get the reduced fat stuuff, it feels likfe a proper portion. I was nuking the kitchen and drpoping it in the soup!
Fingers crossed for tomorrow - off to drink the water, it's not too late for the rest to melt off!
