Nope still 13 st exactly, so surely today must be my last day ever of being 13st!!! Anyway, I seem to have got over not being able to face the shakes, I was a little bit worried that I'd be stuck on bars and tetras for the rest of the time, and although I'm not loving it this morning at least I can drink it.
I had a dream about eating a Macdonalds last night, which I can kind of understand where that came from, but I don't eat macds at the best of times so to dream about that and also scotch eggs, I dreamt about scotch eggs too. Makes a change from AP and babies I guess!

PMSL! Scotch eggs? Is this what I have got to come? Are you scales the same as your CDC's? The bars probably sit a bit heavier as they aren't going t go straight through you like a shake.
Don't be disheartened, like you say...your last day EVER as 13st!!!!

I've managed to get this afternoon off work and the weather is dull and grey, but at least I took the opportunity to mow the lawns, I finally did it!! I'm shattered now though, I'm suffering really badly with Hayfever this year, and unfortunately I can't take anti-histimines because I'm allergic to them! Boo, so I just have to suffer the snot and sneezing and itching eyes. Not good.
Anyway, because I feel so worn out I'm going to have an early night, and hopefully...please, please, please, please, please... tomorrow I'll be into the 12s.....please!!!!!!!!!!!!

have you tried homeopathic remedies for hayfever. i suffer in later july with a throat that i want to scratch out, sneezing, coughing and wheezing. took some homeopathic stuff and it worked wonders.
you will be in the 12s tomorrow, you will be in the 12s tomorrow, you will be in the 12s tomorrow, you will be in the 12s tomorrow etc... !!!!!!!! lol

Funnily enough I was just thinking the same thing about homeopathic remedies, I'm going to boots after work tomorrow to speak to the pharmacist. I haven't been this bad for years, used to be really bad a 6th form, sat my A Levels with tissues stuffed up my nose (tmi I'm sure lol). I think a lot of this could be avoided if I didn't insist on driving everywhere with the roof down, but then what's the point of having a car that does that if I don't?
So tomorrow fingers, arms, legs and eyes crossed to see the 12s, come on scales you know I love you baby!!!

Well I think it's safe to say I am thoroughly p*ssed off!!!!!! The scales have not budged at all!!! For the third day in a row I weigh exactly 13st. I'm gutted!!! I felt so sure today would be the day, but no. I found myself wondering what the fricking point is of starving myself..... Nothing is happening, I wouldn't even say I've lost inches either I still feel as fat as I did at wi.
You have no idea how close I came to calling it quits this morning, in all the time I've done this diet I don't think I've ever had to force myself to continue.... I've had some real low moments but I've never been angry with it and now I am. I feel like the universe is playing some kind of cruel joke on me, and at this rate I'll never make it to target, I'm likely to lose the faith altogether. Does this diet only work well if you've got a lot to lose I wonder? I know the last st is the hardest on any diet, but on a vlcd surely it's not too much to expect to lose 1lb in 3 days??? I'm not due a TOTM or anything like that, I can't even blame that, aaaaarghhhh so blooming cross!!!!
There are biscuits on the table on front of me at work and I came very close to having one out of petulance, but gave myself a stern talking to and decided against it. I have to keep going with this diet because I'm a control freak and won't be beaten by a stupid diet!!!!
Anyway as the scales have decided to turn against me they can go under the bed as punishment!!! I'll get them back out on Wednesday for a preWI weigh. I'm not going to let them interfere and sabotage this week. Take away the pressure I'm putting on myself to get under 13st and it'll happen at some point this week....it just has to!!!
Sorry about the long rant but I am soooo annoyed!!!!

Oh hun, I don't blame you for being angry. I'm trying to give you a logical answer. Think about it, you lost 8lbs this week. That's a huge amount of weight to lose, especially when you are so close to target, which lets face it, compared to the likes of me, you are.
I think you've done the best thing by hiding the scales, we all know that you can't go much longer without dropping, but maybe your body is just catching up on itself. You rarely see people having BIG losses week after week, either they have a big then a small, big then a small. Or they have have smaller, but consistent losses.
Keep strong and don't fight against the diet, it isn't the diets fault you haven't dropped, even though I am sure thats what your head is telling you. I think you need to give it a full week of being 100% and then not losing to make that judgement lol

STEP AWAY FROM THOSE TREATS!!!!
you are way too stressed about getting into the 12st range. this is what could be stopping you getting there. stress, in my opinion, stops your body from dropping on the scales. it's a good idea to put those scales under the bed.
think logically. it is very hot and has been all week so we will retain water! you are sticking to your diet 100% and the diet won't fail you. you will be burning fat.
have you tried body brushing as it really does help to get rid of any excess water. i know that i am retaining water as my rings are tight (i wear 3 lol - an engagement ring, a wedding ring and an eternity ring all on my marriage finger). i can usually get all 3 off at the same time but when i retain and first thing on a morning i can only manage to get one off, just, at a time. by the end of the day if it's been cool i can get them off just fine but on a cold and wet day or if i feel cold they all come off together.
why not phone your CDC and have a talk to her. as kez has said you lost 8lbs last week and sometimes our bodies need to catch up with our losses.
also... if you undereat by 3500cals a week (around 500cals a day) then you'll loose a 1lb. on this diet you eat less than that. if you are on say 4 shakes a day then you'll be on around 530 cals (aprox). if you need 2000 cals a day to maintain then you will be under eating each day by 1500 cals which over the course of a week could be 10,000 cals aprox which can be 2.5lbs off a week.
please don't give in you are doing very very very very well. i'm so jealous of your losses and your determination as mine seem to have vanished.
HAVE FAITH! YOU WILL LOOSE!!!

Hi everyone, sorry I've been AWOL today, as kez knows I've been having probs with my iPhone so I've been trying to get that sorted, plus I got called in to work at 7.30 this morning for an emergency patient. So I've had a very busy day.
Thanks for that amazing post Nikki, I really appreciate it. I did step away from the snacks lol, I'll definitely have to chill out about it all, I think I got too excited hoping I was going to get to target a lot sooner than expected, I'm going back to my getting there when I get there approach, there really is no rush!
I'm loving the weather at the moment and if a bit of water retention is what I have to put up with the so be it- small price to pay!!
