The journey continues!

Oh yes, and giving myself credit today. I had my 3 packs and decided to make it a WS day, so had a mushroom omelette for tea. Feeling really good today, and put on a little dress that I'd bought ages ago and not worn (as it's never fitted!) Feel a million dollars :)
 
I've got the same problem with my bingo wings :( plus the tops of my arms are covered in strechmarks, bad ones too so double :( :(
I bought one o them shake weigh things from Argos apparently if you use it for 6 mins a day it helps. I'm defo gonna start using it 2moro.

Omelette sounds yum, I might have a ws day Sunday after my weigh in. How many mushrooms do you use? And how many eggs? xx
 
Wowzers - cycling? Resisting squatter biscuits? Blimey - well done you - you are a better woman than I ;) Looking forward to number 7 balloon and I won't have to wait much longer by the looks of things

For the omelette I use 3 medium eggs with a little milk and a little water. Mushrooms it was probably about 8 smallish mushrooms. I think it's probably about 300ish calories.

Thank you for your encouragement, I'm so focused on the 7 at the moment, determined to get there soon!
 
Well 0.5lbs down this week - not great, but then I did mess around this time last week. I think I'll prefer to look at it as all that muscle I'll have made from my cycles to work! (OK, so the grand total of 45 miles in the last week won't have made that much muscle, but I'm happy to delude myself today!)

I'm thinking the 11lbs needed between today and tomorrow to achieve my Easter challenge is a little unlikely! But at least I've hit my April challenge now :)

Off to spend a day in the garden, I think, or at least until any rain turns up.
 
OK, determined to hit some goals very soon, it's now:

2lbs until I'm in the 14's
4lbs until I've lost 7 stone
8lbs until I'm overweight
12lbs until I'm under the 200lbs

Surely this is incentive enough to keep me strong and focused through the next couple of weeks!
 
hey cybil...

just catchin up and ur doing so so well.. well done on the loss it all adds up in the end hun..such beautiful weather enjoy your day in the garden chick..

x
 
Hehee, Beck day 10 is about setting short term goals! I was already doing that this morning :) And I already have my balloons as a way of indulging myself when I hit a goal. Although I'm thinking I may do something bigger for getting to overweight :)

OK, so 'my first weight loss goal (from now) will be to lose 4lbs, and get my number 7 balloon'. (OK, so the book said 5lbs, but 4lbs is my next big step, so that's what I'm going for :) )

I was really chuffed when I set up the August Bank Holiday Challenge to realise that I could get all the way to my big goal by the end of August! (OK, so Beck talks about short term goals, but I know I do better when I set myself a big goal too :) )
 
With 45 miles under your - you must be building some muscle! Half a pound is still still half a pound in the right direction - onwards and downwards - roll on number 7!!
Xxxx
 
Well done indeed Rachel- you are doing so fab and in the grand scheme of weight loss you are surely leading us all! Those goals will soon be in your reach! Keep strong missy xx

Oooh, now getting 2 of them this week would be brilliant :)

We went round to Mum's today, and she really likes to feed us / me in particular. I was really pleased with myself, as I managed to stay TS all day :D:D:D Previously I've given in to things she's said / her need to cook for me, and my wish not to upset her. Today I decided that my need to get to the weight I want to be was more important - so I didn't eat any of the chocolate tiffin that she'd made for me. (Mum does know I'm on this diet, she does know that I'm not eating any sweet things, even fruit; she just repeatedly chooses to ignore this information.) Anyway, I'm really proud of myself for explaining clearly what I was going to do and sticking to it. We're round there tomorrow too, for lunch and the afternoon. As she's doing roast turkey tomorrow (it's meet the whole family tomorrow, she's getting married later this year) I've agreed to eat a little meat and broccoli, but nothing else. And also, nothing for tea later (apart from my pack). It's the first time I've stayed that strong at Mum's before, and I'm really proud of myself :)
 
Beck Day 11 - this looks to be a good one, although hard to do while I'm on Exante. It's about differentiating between hunger, desire and cravings. I know this is something I struggle to do, and in the heat of the moment I always assume it's hunger. I think I need to revisit this day once I start properly reintroducing food.

I guess I'm one of the lucky people that in ketosis I don't tend to feel hungry - so perhaps I shoudl take note of the definitions of desire and also cravings - as these are two things I am repeatedly experiencing while on this diet (and probably normally too, just when not on Exante I probably attribute them all to hunger!)

I think I might start, tomorrow, trying to spot when I have food desires and food cravings, and see if I can understand them better. In particular for me, I want to understand what the triggers are, to see if I can better predict them, as well as plan my reaction better!

I like the phrase in the book: 'Do you want to eat a specific food (which probably means you're desiring or craving) or will any food do (which probably means you're still hungry)' hmmmm, so there's no way that the need for chocolate is ever hunger related :( :cry:
 
Oooh, sneaky peek on the scales this morning and I've got into the 14's!!! (Just, 14:13.5) So just 2.5lbs till I get my number 7 and 6.5 until I'm overweight, I'm sooooooooooooo excited :D:D:D:D It may even be enough to stay TS through the turkey at lunch time at Mum's. I'm feeling so strong and in control, it's a great feeling. (I wish I could bottle it and spread it about on the days when I give in to chocolate, biscuits etc)

Looking forward to another sunny TS day :)
 
Woo hoo :) that's great news. I'm thrilled for ya :) xxx
 
Fab news!! Well done you. That number seven balloon I'd almost yours and you'll soon be overweight woohoo xx

Thats brilliant chick and well done for standing up to your mum! What is with people wanting to feed 'fat' people.....we obviously can manage this perfectly fine by ourselves!! What we need is help with not eating, but lots of people seem to find that bit so hard!!

Have a lovely day and stay strong at your mums and you will get to the ever elusive 'overweight' in no time!!..xx

Well done Cybil.

And well done for getting closer to overweigt too

Really pleased with myself today. Stupidly I forgot to take my packs to Mum's with me, which was daft, I left them by the front door at home. Oopsy! Anyway, I had some turkey and broccoli for lunch, and stayed away from everything else, and again at tea; and have then had my pack when I got home - so a WS day, but at least on track.

OK, Beck day 12 - this one is the hunger experiment. I'm not sure this one will work while I'm on this diet. The idea is to skip lunch, to make yourself deliberately get properly hungry so that you're not scared of it, and understand what proper hunger feels like. As I'm lucky enough to not particularly feel hungry when in ketosis, I think I should save this one until I finish and return to proper food, as I think it would be a while before I felt really hungry, and I don't want to push it.

On the plus side, I keep rereading my 'advantages of losing weight' list, and it's really starting to sink in which is great.
