Starting my slim and save journey 1st jan 2014 if the pack arrives by then...

[pripri121]

Morning Priya, sweetie you don't have to weigh tomorrow.... You could do another two days or longer even?? Just do what it takes to help you keep going and anything that will curb a blip (like mine ) and definitely you need some PMA or you will just get yourself so down the anger is you will turn to food.... So,not worth it given how far you have come.

Awww kira nt to worry so long as ur bk on plan, i dno there is lot of anger in ny house sumtymz.... Lol like my sister tends to speak her mind wgereas with me i tend to stsy quute at tymz to try n keep the peace in the house lol so then im usually put in the middle lol....i js reli reli reli hope to see the nines by tues or think will cave even uf dnt want to.... yh im gna wait til tues n then weigh in same day as kat for nx weigh in cz dnt feel as tho my body gna b reli stubborn n stil b 10.2 tmo.... Gut feeling we can do this like kat said xx

Well Tuesday sounds like a good plan then Hun Although I'm still feeling positive for you I'd wait with you, but I'm too tempted to know, plus my OCD means I need to do it on the 1st lol.

Let me know how you get on with Jillian and challenges. I love yoga, I feel so much better when I have a good stretch! I stopped when I had my eldest and have only just really though about getting going again. I used to be able to get my hands flat to the floor, don't think I can even reach my toes at the moment I'm that stiff lol

Oh no! I'm gutted for you. There's nothing more frustrating than hitting a plateau. I wonder if you're super sensitive to carbs. Or if you body has gone into starvation mode for some strange reason? It might be worth going onto s&s website or I believe fb page and asking one of the s&s staff. Think you can put a ticket in on the website and ask for help, they might be able to help you tweak things to get the scales moving for you. They're usually quick to answer, I had problems with a delivery and they answered super quick, even rang me to check it had been resolved.
I admire you for sticking with it though, that a fab attitude to have.
I understand how frustrated you must be and wish I had better words of wisdom for you.

 

[Kira]

Awh! Priya I am also gutted for you and understand your frustration. I honestly think if you stick with it for another week you will have a whoosh! Next Sunday weigh in. I think that one day 'blip' may have caused the scale not to move because its water/glycogen sorts and the scale is simply not registering. It has happened to me where even having had a very small and low calorie food in a whole week as not registered a loss - even though the other 6 days I was on shakes alone (that is when I did Cambridge a few years ago).

Ive followed wed a young chap called Alex from last January and he has lost over 110 lbs through calorie counting. Last week weigh he lost 0.4lb despite a strict week and lots of exercise the week prior to weigh in. . This week the scale showed a 4.8lb loss and he said he had not been as strict as the week before but mindful.

So, what I'm saying is yes, you could be a slow loser in terms of the scales registering but if you stick with it the scale will catch up. We are with you every step of the way.i know from my blip the other day I won't see a loss tomorrow but I know I have got to keep going and not let derail me from my ultimate goal.

Stick with a stricter SnS if you want and choose the lowest carb products to ensure you remain in ketosis. As Kat says it could be you are carb sensitive and that's why your losses are slower. X

 

[Kira]

Meant to ask when you first started back in. Jan was your weigh day a Sunday or a Monday? I'm thinking it could be if you had a different day to weigh and it was a Monday you could weigh tomorrow? If you have an on plan day today it could be the scale registers tomorrow ie your true weigh in day? Does that make sense?

 

[pripri121]

Abh kira i am reli tryin hard to dtay positivr im doin js tgree shakes tdai tmo n tues n see wat apens....js need to do it for own piece of mind knowing iv tried another methid even tho bt recommebded....n gna stik tio it for 13 days if tht diesnt help budge the scales then reli dnt kno wat will .... Will weigh tmo n tues n wed to see if tgere is ne difff.... Stupid scales ffs thanku kira hun will stik it out :'( xx

 

[Kira]

((((Hugs!))))

How about looking at your starting stats pics and comparing them to where you are now? Seeing pics side by side will show how far you have comes in 5 months. It hopefully should also give you the incentive to keep going. Tell yourself where would you rather be right now? Same size as in January or the size you are now? I deliberately am saying 'size' and not weight.

 

[Clinquant]

So sorry that you have been disappointed. I wish the scales would always give us what we deserve but we know they don't. You have been really stressed this week too and I don't think that helps. You have been here before and because you kept going you saw the tens and for the same reason you will see the nines. I wouldn't underestimate the squats in terms of building muscle. The gluteus muscle is one of the biggest and if that grows, which it does doing squats, then it can make a difference. Also when doing that sort of exercise it damages the muscles a little bit and they retain water as they repair so it could also be that. I would have your shakes and space them out nicely - if as they others suggest you are really carb sensitive it might make a difference compared to doubling up and easier while you are currently at home. I'd cut it back to basics but have your full four shakes so you get all your nutrients and calories or your body might hold on even tighter. You have done so well - there is a big virtual party waiting when you are into the 9s! And as Kira said, today may just have been a blip and a loss may even be on the cards tomorrow. Get that water and green tea down you and see what you can do.

That's great news! You will definitely see the 9's on your next weigh in! Very close! Well done for sticking with and remaining committed especially through such a difficult time.

you may already do this but keep the scale in the same position/place and wear same Clothing and roughly same time

I say that because when my scale is moved it doesn't show the same even in the same room and I have a pretty fancy set of body fat scales(that function I always forget how to use!)

This is the boost you need to keep gong and the comments from relatives are NSV's

Love your excitement as i think it reignites your determination which is fab. Like you I was and still am an impatient dieter though less so given the times I have tried this! But weigh the clothes you wore when you got weighd this morning - just the clothes (nightie I assume as it was this morning?) I have done that before with a pair of pyjamas (and my friend who is super fit and runs and slim and healthy etc still weighs herself every day and knows the exact weight of her big long T shirt she wears to bed!) My pj's were 6 to 7 oz from what I remember - will have to go weigh them at some point to know! Now that is almost half a pound! Of course I have another pair of pi's that don't register on the scale at all as they are so light...but it's worth knowing right? ONLY if it doesn't detract you though!

What a difference. Knew there had to be a whoosh on the way. At least this has taught you to remain positive and patient and the right result came in this morning. I'd probably hide those scales again until before you go away. Hoping for a nice job to come along for you. Have a great day.

 

[Kira]

Love the restraint! That is actually very positive and trusting of the diet which of course we all know does work Enjoy the rest of the day and as Clin says but the scales away for now as any detractions put you off your stride with panic and it just isn't worth the added pressure. xx ((hugs)) Doing brilliantly.
