He he, I'm taking SS 1 HOUR at a time. But I can do this, heck I did it in Florida a couple of years ago so there's really no reason I can't do it now for a week.
How're you doing anyway hun?

Well done you! You sound so positive. Sorry to here your weight loss wasn't what you deserved. Full respect for you for braving an SS week, but it will be worth it I'm sure. x
great things

ss is hard but if it gives you the loss you really want then a couple of weeks isn't going to be too bad. i think that it's strange how you head changes as you progress through the diet and when it's your 2nd time you are always comparing it to the first. i too had a pants loss this week of 1/2lb. it really is rubbish isn't it. i decided i couldn't hack the 810 plan anymore so upped it to the 1000 plan. i'm hoping for a decent loss this week but who knows.
i just had to think with my 1/2lb loss that at least it's off and not on.

Well, it's Friday night again - AND THIS TIME I'M GOING OUT!!!!! Sky TV have been filming The Real A&E in the hospital where I work and they're having a wrap party tonight, with free drinks all round. I'm being a bit of a boring fart because I'm driving - I don't want to upset my diet plans by drinking. But still I think it'll be fun watching everyone else get blotto!!!!!!

Well I'm home now, tucked up in bed. Had a great night, interesting because I was sober!!! I actually felt good tonight, out with friends from work. It was definitely better than sitting at home moping! I'm off to bed now because it's been a looooong day and I'm shattered!! I've got plenty more to say (surprise surprise) but it can wait until tomorrow!

Life is brass right now
hey surf been catching up on your diary, looks like we pretty much have the same to lose til goal. It just feels like I'm on a rollercoaster, one week I want to do ss til I'm done, the next I'm like well ss+ does suit me better, then 810... Arrggggghh I just so want this to be over. I was stuck in the 220s for sooo long that i just think it wore off my enthusiasm!I'm almost within a stone and a half of target so it's really not that far left to go. I remember getting to this point last time and being so excited, this time I don't know... maybe the closer I get to the 12 stones then I might start believing that I can actually do this again.

Oh I know exactly what you mean, I've been stuck in the 190's for a hundred years, but next wi will take me into the 180's I hope, unless by some freak of nature I STS.
Last night I didn't drink, but couldn't face water so I drank diet coke which has knocked me out of ketosis, but shouldn't have too much of an effect on my weight loss because it's only the citric acid that's knocked me out of ketosis. It's not the end of the world I'm still on track with SS.
This afternoon I'm going to B&Q to buy some bits for the garden. I want to try and make the most of it this year because last year I pretty much neglected it. I'm not really that into gardening and I like my garden to be pretty low maintainance. So I'm going to see what B&Q has to offer lol.

Something Different
My Mum's just told me she was thinking about going back on CD again, she's sick of trying to lose the last stone or 2 with healthy eating and wants a quick result. I hope she has better losses than I seem to be having this time round.
Yesterday we went to Rowlands pharmacy to see what the Celebrity Slim stuff is all about, she can't decide what to do. I think she's better off doing CD than CS, CS seems to be the same as Slimfast from what I can see. I was tempted by the different flavours available though. I bought a cookies and cream shake packet and a beef soup.
I'm desperate for savoury still, and I wondered if CS soup would make me gag as much as CD soup does. I tried the Beef last night and I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed it. Trouble is I only bought 1. The Cookies and Cream shake however - not so nice!! It was soooo sweet. I don't think I could face it again, especially as I'm having mad savoury cravings. So that's that little experiment out the window. Also I'm not really sure of the carb content in the CS because the nutritional info is in grams and CD is in mls.
I went on the scales again this morning and they still say 13st 8lbs, I'm really starting to get annoyed with them, I'm so desperate to get into the 180lbs I need to lose 1lb to make that happen. I've got til Wednesday to get rid of 1lb, I want to lose more though!!! Short of not having anything at all I don't know if I can do it. :cry:

How much water do you drink? Could it be something as simple as not drinking enough?

I usually drink about 3litres I can't cope with much more than that or I start retaining water, which doesn't help weightloss either. It's just so frustrating. If I was at my target I'd be happy to be hovering around the same weight. But I've still got a way to go, 1st 8lbs to be exact. I've pretty much given up on getting lower than 12st. I was happy at that weight and I'll be fine when I get there again.
I've said this before, but I'm sure my CDC must think I'm cheating, she's never had anyone with such poor losses. I feel like I'm failing, even though I know that at least the weight is coming off - even if it is slowly.
Today I went to this outdoor market with my parents, every other stall was a hog roast, or hotdogs or cakes. The cake and sweet stall were so easy to walk past (in the past I'd have been so tempted by all the sweet stuff) but the hog roasts and dirty burger vans made my mouth water. I know it's just because all that ever goes into my mouth is sweet stuff I've had enough of sweet. You know the stall that I had to be dragged past was the jacket potato van. I could've killed for a jacket potato, with cheese and bean - mmm savoury carbs!!! Ah well, I'll never lose weight if I don't diet so I'll just have to keep persevering. I just want to be finished now and working back up the plans. But I can't do that until I get to my target. Booo

Oh hun, my heart goes out to you. I'm going to stop whinging about not loosing when I know I don't deserve to of, cause there are peps out there like you who stick to 100% and are struggling. Your the one with the right to moan.
Have you considered moving up a step, to the 810 plan? Just a thought... I've heard quite a few times now that CD slows your metabolism right down. Maybe moving up a step for a couple of weeks might boost start your metabolism. Let's face it, if you stick to 810, you aren't going to put anything on. Worse caseyou might stay the same, but then that's happening now anyway.

Kez don't worry about moaning, it's fine I always feel better after a good moan
, I think everyone can justify moaning, everyone on a diet that is. It's damn hard and it doesn't matter whether you've been saintly and had a pants loss or being bad and had a bit of a gain, the fact is we're dieting and that in itself deserves a great big MOAN!! Lol.
Despite the scales misbehaving, I'm in a surprisingly good mood. I don't know why, it could be the change in the weather - the sun has been out most of the day. I don't know, especially because....
Work is stressing me out at the moment, it seems like no-one is prepared to take responsibility for the patients, they only come to us for a short time, but theres so much paperwork and so many targets to be met that it seems to me that the patients get forgotten about. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who cares, and a lone voice standing out against the establishment only gets ignored - it's frustrating!!
Anyway back onto diet matters. If I can manage to lose 2lbs on Wed then I'll have less than 1 and a half stones to lose, my target is within sight but it still seems such a long way away, at the rate I'm losing. On the plus side someone actually noticed and commented on my weight loss today. That spurred me on a bit. That and the comments that Tactless Tessie keeps making at lunch times.
Tactless Tessie (not her real name - although it should be!!!) is a colleague of mine who has previously made a comment ^^^ about CD not working. On Friday she said to me "You must eat a lot when you get home." Cheeky b*tch!! I decided not to go into the diet and SS+ etc so I just said 'What makes you say that?' and get this.... She replied ...."Well I've never seen you eat in the whole time I've worked here, you should be a twig!" Oh my god I saw red!!!!! I can't believe this cheeky cow. I said 'Actually, compaired to how I used to look I AM a twig, I've lost 60lbs and I'm not prepared to discuss it further.' At this point she started to back track, saying things like "I'm not saying you're fat or anything, I was just wondering why you weren't super skinny when you don't eat anything" My friend, god love her was more livid than I was... She told the TT to keep her comments to herself!! this could be war. I wouldn't care but she's only been her for a couple of months, and she's making only enemies, by the sounds of it I'm not the only one she's been horrible to. Luckily I'm a lot more secure and confident that I used to be - there was a time when that kind of comment would have really upset me and sent me reaching for the nearest chocolate bar. Now it's just made me more deteremined to succeed at this.

I don't know if this is just me, but I've noticed that as I'm losing weight, I seem to have a couple of days where I feel thinner and toned, everything is tighter and then as I get used to the new weight it all goes flabby again ready for the next drop.
Now bear in mind I'm only losing a cople of lbs a week so it's not drastic changes I'm talking about here. It's been happening through out my weightloss and I noticed it first time round too. It's almost as if my body is getting used to being x weight then moves on, making me feel flabby again. It's so strange and I know this probably makes me sound crackers. I worry about myself sometimes lol.

I have exactly the same thing- I think it may be mental for me though as I feel so happy with my loss that I start to notice that things are getting smaller and tighter and then I am back to seeing my wobbly bits and ready for the next few lbs to come off. xx
