Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

Well lucky for me I had a 3lb loss this week phew!! Very lucky escape for me. Talked to CDC about making safe plans for night shifts, and I bought the recipe book to see if there were higher plan meals I could have for one night. Next WI Friday 24th cos CDC is on holiday.
 
3lbs is good. I put on this week as I wasn't well and ate comfort food as well as celebrating valentines day on Saturday. Wouldn't let Julie weigh me! Started ss yesterday. My head was so bad I went to bed and thought at one point I was going to be sick! 6pm last night to 6am this am! No planning done :(
 
Very good loss!! Well done surfhunny !! See u was stressing for nothing lol. Now another awesome week ahead for u !! X

3lbs is great, Sal - well done! :clap:

The thing that seems to be working for me this time (and okay, I know it's still early days :)) is that I've told myself, promised myself, that this is the last time I'm going to do SS.

I worked out that 12 weeks on SS would take me to April 29th and then made a commitment that I would do SS until then (or attempt to do SS until then) - then never again. The way I'm seeing it, I can mess about and get nowhere or actually follow through and get 3 stones off in that time - either way it doesn't matter. After 29 April, I won't be allowing myself to SS anymore and I'll have to find another way of losing weight. I've spent way too much of my life already being anti-social, avoiding eating out with others, putting myself through hell, frankly - and that somewhere, sometime I was going to need to draw a line.

So I've drawn it. It's a bit scary - but I've promised myself now and I'm not going to break that promise.

And so far, I'm not messing about with the diet - I'm doing it. I've downloaded a countdown timer to my iPhone so I know exactly how many days I've got left to go (currently 75), I'm weighing myself everyday and filling in the weight loss chart in my signature - and so far it's working.

I know you've had so much to deal with lately and this might not be something you can contemplate doing right now, but I just thought I'd mention it. :hug99:

And ooh, Nikki - is iPad 3 really coming out on 7 March? I've resisted having an iPad of my own so far but we have a houseful of Apple technology and I fear I may have to give into the urge to acquire one more gadget... :D
 
Good wicked news !! I have iPad 2 just never get to go on. I have a clever 2 year old who uses it lol!! So use been waiting for ipad3 !! Good job thats Defos coming to my house lol. X

Yep. Apple have released the release date. We have the first iPad and hubby owns it but the kids (2+5) use it. I want one too. :)
 
So my CDC has gone away and I'm not weighing in until a week tomorrow! Ordinarily this would give me an excuse to do what I like for a few days then desperately try and claw a loss back after the weekend but I'm not going to this time.

I'm keeping myself busy this week, trying to get firmly established in ketosis before I go back to work on Monday. All the temptation is at work. And again all the negative comments about CD are back in force. Mostly it's just because people don't understand it. My close friends let me get on with it for the most part. The trouble is I think our uniform hide a multitude of sins and so most people don't think I have much to lose and have been quite vocal about me 'crash dieting'.

But it's all about how I feel and I feel fat, I know that I can't go on holiday at this weight because I went to Vegas at this weight and felt so uncomfortable all the time. I don't want to have to spend the time avoiding people's cameras :(

So I have to do it, I have to stick to it!! I need to get ideas of big losses out of my head, 3lbs a week will be quick enough I suppose, it's still better than I could hope to achieve with any other diet, it'll take 16 weeks and it will take me to target by the week after my birthday in May.
 
Just be reading some posts on the CD forum by a guy who seems to be either having a laugh at our expense or is playing a dangerous game with his body. I'm not sure how seriously to take his posts because I've read all sorts and he seems to contradict himself quite a lot. One minute he's struggling to lose weight next if he doesn't have the weekend off plan he's losing too much weight? Well surely no one wants to be doing CD forever and if it's coming off fast by sticking to the diet 100% then do it and let it be over sooner. Is that not why we do VLCD's? Ive never heard anyone complain about losing as much as he claims to be each week.

I found the whole thing a bit disheartening, and maybe that was his intention, I don't know. I've been in arguments before on here about people who cheat, deviate, come off plan regularly and brag about how they still manage to lose decent amounts of weight doing so. It's discouraging for the likes of me who, apart from the occasional melt down, stick to cd as it should be and have small losses.

Aaargh I just had to vent because I was reading through posts for inspiration and now I feel totally deflated!! :( Bring me my lunch time shake!!!
 
yeah - there's something that doesn't quite add up about him: before xmas he *kept* posting threads about how he was 'going hard at the gym' and doing SS and not losing at all... and the first few times you think - 'ok, let's advise him to eat more', but then he posted the same problem again and again.

He might be a troll, on a deliberate wind-up; or he might be really thick; or he might just be strange. Best to ignore anyone on the net that you think might not be real or who makes your blood pressure zoom. There's no shortage of other people giving them both negative and positive attention. Leave them to it.
 
So true!! I actually avoided posting on the thread because I was annoyed and disheartened, but I'm not going to let the likes of him bring me down, I'll just keep offing on with my losses.
 
Argh I'm in pain again, think I'm going to have to make another appointment with the doctor if it carries on after my next period. I'm due TOTM in about 5 days and the lower abdominal pain I went to the drs with is back. I know it seems like it could be PMT pains, and great if it is but if it goes on after like it did last month I'll have to get it checked out, 2 weeks out of 4 with pain doesn't seem right.
 
Jeez I might have to stick to posting in my own diary, it seems every time I post elsewhere trying to be helpful, with facts I get shot down in flames by people who don't want to hear it.

I've done CD on and off for a long time and have studied the biology of VLCDs in detail, but clearly people have bigger opinions than mine and therefor mine must not be valid.

There seems to be a lot more of this kind of thing on minis than there ever used to be, I've been on here since 2008 and have definitely noticed a change :(

Anyway rant over!!
 
life in the fast lane! crazies on board..... i'm on of them! :D:D

In moderation....no! As long as you dont use it to replace your normal water intake and have it in addition, not in place of!
 
No like on iPhone kez!
