Im Back!!
Hey everyone!!
Well Im back from Turkey all chilled out and relaxed!
I had an absolutely wonderful time. The place was lovely, the hotel spotless and the weather was gorgeous!!
Eating wise, I learned that by eating 3 meals a day, I didnt snack between meals. I dont know if this was just due to the heat but I dont think so. I think I just though oh well its mealtime soon so there is no point eating junk Ill just wait. On another plus side, the plates were smaller and I didnt go back for more! On the bad side, my plate consisted of half a plate of carbs, quater of protein and quater of salad. I think ideally it should have been half salad and quater or less of carbs, something I can work on though!
The food was lovely and fresh and plentiful too so I did ok.
Still saying that, I have weighed in but couldnt bear to look at the scales just yet incase they have a really bad gain so I got my son to look and write it down and I will look on Sunday after my weigh in and hopefully I might have lost a bit by then!
So, I am back on exante tomorrow and I plan to stay 100%TS for 40 days until I go to Wales for a few days. I really really need to get as much weight off as I can for then as A) this was my original goal date and I am a bit behind and B) the reason I started Exante and made this my goal was because they have one of those 'Go Ape' high wire things and my son is so excited to go on it and I have told him I will too but couldnt have possibly done it at the weight I was at.
So I will knuckle down and do this!! (with a little help from my friends of course!!)
Will try and catch up on some diaries now to see how you have all been doing!! xxx

Its good to have ya back, Miss Mac (oooo, that rhymes )
I am very glad you had a lovely time. Thats all that matters
Its quite ironic about your thoughts, about, "well it will soon be time for the next meal", and not eating junk...as there is some of that in the Beck book ... Hmmmmm, do you have that ?
Wow ! at the Go Ape thing It that one of those slip or slide wire things from a great height ?
Wow ! That is a gooooood thing to aim towards

No I dont have the Beck book. I hear some of you talking about it on here and some of it makes sense but I am not convinced by CBT so am a bit sceptical. But if it works for any one then I am certainly not knocking it, we need all the help we can get.
Yeah thats the one marge, the high wire swinging from tree to tree thing. You obvioulsy have to climb up things too and I figure the lighter I am the easier that should be. I should really work on my upper body too as I cant even pull up my own weight!!

Have you ever thought about trying The Shred ?

Ahhhhhh Good to have you back MM!!!!! So glad you had a lovely time!!From what you've said I shouldn't panic, it doesn't soundlike you've put unnecessary weight on anyway you healthy thing you! lolI hope I'm as good as you Saying "ahh mealtime soon so I'll wait" although I struggle to believe I will do anythingbut say "woohoooo offplan for 2 weeks...lets eat the whole of Corfu!!!" lol
Are you straight back on plan now? I think it's really good you have something else to aim for too, I personally think everyone on thisplan should book a holiday every 3 months so it's something to work towards!!!
Anyway, good to have you back and look forward to your wi on Sunday..not in a nasty way, I just think you could be pleasantly surprised

Hi Bouncy,
Oh no I definitely wouldnt say I have been healthy. Still ate way too much and I think I 'forgot' to mention all the ice creams I had!!
I will be interested to see what I weigh on Sunday compared to what I weighed when I got back, hopefully I will have a mega fantastic weight loss even though I will only have done 4 100% days!

The start of 40 days 100% TS!!
40/40
Well this is the start of 40 days 100%TS. Have done ok today and just got a slight muggy head just now but going to have a coffee and bar in a mo so that should sort that out.
I really need to complete this 40 days as I feel I did great in month 1 then it all seems to have gone a bit pants since then.
I was supposed to be at goal by end of July but that aint going to happen now. So if I can do this for 40 days then have a few days in Wales then another month of TS and hopefully I should be at goal or pretty near.....as long as I am really strict with myself and dont give in to eating!!
I realised whilst on holiday that I am nowhere near where I want to be. I felt good just before my hols as I felt like I had lost a little bit of weight and my clothes felt better, but after seeing some pics, I dont seem to have changed a great deal. Add to the fact that after 2/3 days of eating, I felt like I had put all the weight back on again. It was really strange.
It didnt stop me enjoying my holiday though, it has just made me determind to try my hardest to achieve my goal, so fingers crossed.
So here is to day 1 of 40....

You sound so positive. I don't doubt that you can't do the 40 days. I might do 40 days with you if you don't mind? It'll give me a bit of motivation to know that I have to keep up with you by not eating and I'll feel really ashamed if I have to come on here and tell you that I've eaten! Did you start it today? I will have to start mine tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how much each of us lose by doing that won't it??!!
I'm scared of exactly what happened to you, feeling good, then getting on holiday and realising I need to do more. The reason I'll feel so bad about that is because it'll make me realise I didn't looks as nice as I would like on my wedding photies! If we're working so hard to do this, we may aswell do it properly and get to goal eh!!!
I'm so glad you're back, you're really inspiring the way you look at things. I've missed you! lol xx

Aww thanks BB, what a lovely thing to say!!
Of course you can join my 40 day effort!! I need all the help and support I can get!
I am sure you will look absolutely devine on your wedding day hun!
Dont be put off by how I felt. It just made me realise that although I have lost almost half of the weight I want to lose, I am still a long way off and cannot afford to get complacent. I know how easy it could all go back on too....one week off and I can put on a stone!! So I figure if I can get to goal then give myself a half stone lee way then I should never allow myself to gain so much again.As for you...you WILL be at goal for your wedding and look fab!! So not halfway there and still needing to lose more, you will be where you want to be!!!
We can do this BB....40 days easy peasy!! xx

Survived a full first day 100% yesterday. I still have to take each day as it comes and I can never class a day done until I wake up the next day as I can go all day and most of the night then ruin it right at the end!
I have managed to drink more water today which is good but still no ketosis yet. Woke up this morning with a bit of a bad head and felt really hungry. Had a shake a coffe and some dr pepper zero and that soon sorted it out.
Still feeling positive about this 40 day effort, but then again its only day 2!!
I still have no idea what I weigh from my holidays so dont realistically know what I could get down too by doing this but should have a better idea on Sunday. Was tempted to look at the piece of paper my son wrote my weight on, but worried it will be horrendous so I am still holding out until Sunday, the theory being that if the gain was horrendous then hopefully I might have shifted a bit of it by then!!
