Agree with everyone, don't worry about popcorn chicken, just make it your last tho. When talking about ketosis, they say that just one cheat can be the kiss of death for your diet, dont let it! Also, like was said which is so true, if you give in to that pizza your body will stay as it is! I was fantasising yesterday too, sighh...

You can do this pri! And I was thinking why dont you go our for a walk each day? Tell ur parents it's to help your weight loss, go for a wander each day for an hour or so. I know weather has been pants lately but the fresh air and endorphins (from exercise) do wonders for lifting the mood and you get to get out of the house away from them bickering.

Good luck hun x

Hey hunni. Please dont beat urself up. I lost -6 on my first week and was extatic, tbh i was far from strict as my cal was up to as high as 800 and i was always hungry so i thought if i was making it part of my lifestyle then i wont be too hard on myself but im sure if i was stricter i wouldve done better.

Not sure lol think its 100g protein and 200g veggies

Typical days menu would be

B - shake or porridge

L - spicy spaghetti

D - 100g grilled chicken breast/ 2x eggs/ beef or cottage cheese with veggies or a salad.

S - bar

Sometimes id havd less protein like 50g chicken so i can have some milk or natural yoghurt but its what works for hun.

Cheer up. But i do no what it feels like to want the damn weight to shift quickly but honestly if it was easy then what would u learn?

Hope ur a having a great day. I just finished night shift, dying to sleep lol xxx

Morning Priya. Ok you weighed this morning and then again a little later. I see there were 10 minutes between your posts (there may have me more time in-between however than the post time shows). In any event, if you drank or had a shake in-between the number of the scale can vary. I won't apologise for TMI but if you haven't had a poo that will also make a difference! You need to ignore the scale for now and weigh tomorrow your weigh day first thing in the morning, post pee etc naked and make sure scale is in same spot as last time. If you move a scale from tile to carpet the numbers can vary too even with electronic scales.

I also think that you should try and stick to 4 SnS packs today or 3 packs with the "allowed" protein meal. Anything else could easily show up as water weight tomorrow which won't be accurate because you will have a calorie deficit over the whole week compared to what you normally eat ie. pre diet. Calorie deficit means weight loss regardless of what diet plan on is.

I know this is easy, no "diet' plan really is as we all become accustomed to feeding our selves when we think we are hungry, bored, emotion, etc it becomes a habit which is very very hard to break. Crack this now in your 20's you will be a slimmer 40 year old because you will have put the right tools you need to maintain into place. Again, I sound like I am nagging but I hate anyone to go through what I put myself through for so long. Don't undo your hard work. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised tomorrow on weigh in.

[Kira]

LOL! Phew! Glad you didn't weight twice in ten mins then! Come on hour by hour. Each completed hour is closer to a completed vlcd day! Remember I am doing it and so are others! I keep looking at Jewel's signature with the weekly losses and think yes, that could be me!

I'm sorry but when you talk about your mum it makes me laugh! I sooo get when you talk about the Indian mentality! So get the Indian drama serial's! I endure them when i visit my mum and make her turn them off! Though these days she's discovered the iPad and so less drama on Zee TV or whatever channel she watches.

If you haven't been to the "loo" for two days then that explains why the scale hasn't moved too. Remember all loss is not fat loss alone and it isn't water loss alone either. It will be both. Drink a little more water, I find coffee helps me go first thing in the morning but if it is bothering you take something like psyllium husk you get them in tablet form. Only take a laxative if you are in great discomfort from not going or in pain. But avoid if you possibly can. Others will post on other options as things worked differential for us all.

5 days done, 6 you WILL complete and weigh day tomorrow! Keep busy!! Make sure you hide the belly button ring once you get it! Some things are better kept to oneself than shared with parents!

 

[Kira]

Oh! you probably can't access sliver section until you have a certain amount of posts. Mind you my diary isn't particularly exciting! I usually whinge and moan!

[slim_and_happy]

I cannot repeat this enough. Step away from the scales!!! What is weighing every single day is going to achieve? Your body is not a machine. You can't predict what's going to happen to it on a daily basis. Just let it do it's job of losing weight in its own time. Stressing about seeing a minus on your scales is probably making you retain water or slows the fat burning process. Like I said before. If you stick to the plan the weight will come off. I promise you. Most of all though you need to keep staying positive. Keep telling yourself you're doing something massively positive for yourself and your body will follow. Keep yourself busy also. Did you sort your cv out yet? How's the job hunting going? Remember. Your life is in your own hands and only you can make a difference!
Sorry if I sound a bit tough but I'm just trying to steer you in the right direction.
I'm also in London and trust me it's overrated lol
I love it really and I look forward to seeing you here by next year!

[pripri121]

I know slim n ima soo sorry tht i cudnt resist will try harder...have ne of u tried tht slim and save online planner? Yup sorted cv out n have a few online apps yday yaay go me hehe...i will keep ploddin n frm nw will try my utmost 100 percent to b positive.

Cnt wait either xx

 

[Kira]

Great advice from Slim and Happy and I don;t think tough just honest and to the point. I agree you need to step away from the scales (I confess I do daily weigh but the number doesn't bother me if it goes up or STS as I know the weekly number is the one that counts ....and not always!) However, I don;t think daily weighing is going to help you Priya because you will freak out if it went up and then you would end up eating or worse over eating and stop.

I miss living in London ......sometimes! Lucky I go down to London frequently though! Luuurvvve shopping so many places to shop for clothes!

Dawned on me you can't keep the belly button ring hidden because of sari's! Shows you how often I wear them! Mind you I am too old and still fat to be wearing a sari in a way it flashes my belly button! I have to cover up these days!

Few more hours and it will be official weigh day for you Priya! How exciting! You've stuck to plan and you will lose!

 

[pripri121]

Ahhh i wud luv to go there more often bt never av the time or the money half the time lol....im going to umm try my hundred nt to stand on em unless the actual weigh in day itself i can do this n i will do this bring it on muahahaha....umm tht was ment to b an evil laf?....thnx evry one for bein harshn honedt wit me i prefer tht tbh nt tht hungry tdai so far have ad a hazlenut shake going to spread the lemon yogurt bar out...hehe

I'm a Geordie through and through! Born and brought up here (but without a Geordie or Indian accent which surprises some people!). Lived in London for about 7 years and then work took me to London frequently which was great though commutes got tiring. You will absolutely love it when you move to London.

 

[Clinquant]

You're doing well so just relax. A friend once said that it must be very tiring and busy inside my head and I feel that's the case with you. You will exhaust yourself if you worry about every little thing. I have learned to be a bit calmer over time. That's why I just do 4 packs - nothing to think about - just pick 4 packs and drink water. Peace of mind. I know it's not for everyone but it works for me and fluctuactions on the scales are less.

I do weigh every day but that's because I know it won't mess with my mind. I think you should stick to weekly weighing if you can as it could put you off track.

Have a great day.
