Sheridan's 100 day challenge!

[Susie58]

Hi Sheridan. I lost 4 stone with LL and it was so easy to do. I think that was because I stuck exactly to plan with no deviations at all.

Merry Christmas, have fun x

Coming to the end of my four days off plan. I weighed this morning and was up 2.7lbs - so that is really good, means I'm below 11st 12lbs thank god.

However, I pretty much ate too much today instead! So the number will be higher tomorrow! Haha.

I will be happy as long as I can stay below 12st.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas.

Back on plan tomorrow!

So back on Exante today and so far have had 500mls of water.

Feeling bloated and a bit sick today. Definitely went overboard yesterday and weighed in this morning at 11st 13.5lbs - so a total gain of 4.4lbs - which I can live with. I have 5/6 days to lose 1.5lbs so that for my next phase (reach normal BMI) I am 11st 12lb.

Should be more than achievable would a bit more would be nice.

I hope everyone is well, and any gains can be lost -remember that!

Coming to the end of day 1 of restart after Christmas and have the go awful headache.

I've drank plenty of water today and will have my last shake in the next hour.

No slips up, my mind has wander a bit and my belly has been growling like a rabid dog but I want to stick my guns.

I will most likely be off plan again for the day next Saturday as that is when we finally go visit my side of the family and my sister will be making dinner for us all at her new place.

Then I am clear until the 14th when I go away for a few days with my best friend to London. I really hope I have lost 3 stone by then. Would be fantastic to have achieved that.

Then pretty plain sailing til March for me. So should be able to lose another stone. Fingers crossed.

Merry Christmas Sheridan and well done for staying below target. You'll be back in. Ketosis in no time. I just loved the pic of your dress. Did you get lovely comments?

Hi everyone, I've stumbled across this thread and it's so inspiring! I've tried VLCDs in the past but never managed to stick with them long enough to get into ketosis. My OH and I are getting married in 2016, however, and he suggested tonight that we both do Exante together so we have ordered loads from ******* and they should be here next week.

I am 14st 11lbs and would like to be 9st 7lbs, ideally. I need to get down to 12st 6lbs before I can get a date for the leg surgery that I need so time is ticking!

Hi cherrybomb, welcome! You should start a diary too, it's great for helping keep on track. There are some amazing people on here. Exante really works if you stick to it. Sheridans diary has inspired me to keep on track many times. Good luck.

Welcome cherrybomb!

That's plenty of time to reach your goals and be maintaining well before your wedding.

Angel is right, I think it's be very helpful if you started your own diary where you can record how you're feeling - good and bad. You will find that having a good support system is key to doing a VLCD so it is great that your husband to be has suggested you do it together.

I wish you the best of luck, I hope to see you posting about losing soon!

I hope you had a good Christmas also angel and that it wasn't too stressful with the in-laws?

Thanks for your kind comment, I hope I am back in ketosis by Monday, I will weigh as normal Tuesday. Though I suspect I will need to record a gain unless my body is kind and shifts the 4.4lbs in that time.

I didn't wear my dress sadly in the end, it was bitterly cold and I would have been severely overdressed - my husband's family are far from formal - even at our wedding they were very dressed down.

I've attached a photo below of how I was in Christmas Day - I definitely felt much more comfortable and my husband told me when I wasn't around, his dad asked if I had lost weight - so I am pleased that they finally noticed.


Hope all is well.

Going well today, weighed this morning and down 1.5lbs - so back at 11st 12lb.

Very pleased with that and now just going to be working my way as close to 11st 9lb for Thursday as I can but if not, at least I'm at the target weight for my next phase - normal BMI range!

You have done amazingly well...I'm starting tomorrow.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you space your packs out during the day? Do you save them for the eve or spread them out?

Can't wait until I look as good as you!

Hi target! Thanks for your kind words.

I normally have my first pack anytime between 11am-1pm, my second pack around 6-7pm and my last pack by 11pm.

I find if I have it too early in the morning, there is too big of a time gap and I feel really hungry.

For the morning i just aim to have 500ml- 1 lt of water before my first pack.

Good luck on your journey!

I love the latest pic of you. You really look slim. I can hardly believe you've any to lose. I hate this limbo time I between Christmas and New Year. I hope you've got some relaxation planned after such a busy December.

 

[Susie58]

I'm sure you will reach your next target very soon Sheridan. Your posts are so full of determination & your photo shows that determination has paid off brilliantly. Well done x

Thank you Angel! I'm pleased I've lost a lot from my face, it's in my thighs and belly that I need to lose the last 2st 7lb from.

I am going to visit my family on Friday overnight which is always nice and relaxing and then the kids are back at school for a week before I go back to uni so will get some much needed quiet time then.

Thank you Susie!

I'm glad that my posts are coming across positive, I definitely like reading them back and I post so many photos haha but sometimes i have days where I am thinking I haven't lost any weight and still look huge so it helps to look back on the diary and progress photos.

Absolutely, photo's are good for helping stay on track too cos how we see ourselves in the mirror isn't always the same as how other people see us x

 

[SheridanLM91]

I took some photos on Boxing Day to see how I was looking as I realised I was wearing the same top as I was in a photo I took back in May at the start of my journey.

The difference is pretty stark. Basically, I have lost 3 stone as I was 14st 10lb in the first photo but I go by my restart weight not the previous one so it'll be interesting to see how I am looking when I reach 10st.
