[Bananadrama]

Ahhh you'll be fine MM!!!!! The beauty of exante is that whatever you put on, you'll lose again in a week! lol FABULOUS!!!! Well done on yesterday I've been 100% today but I'm assuming you're exactly the same as me and need to wait until you wake up before you can class it as a FULL day!!! lol there's ALWAYS that temptation huh!!!

I'm so glad you're letting me to the challenge too!! lol Just remember, if you're feeling lonely on the 100% and feel like you're the only person in the world doing it.....there's always me too! Feeling exactly the same!!! lol But hey, when we get to goal it'll be the best feeling EVER!!!!! Roll on tomorrow when you can say you've done 2 days!! xxxxx

Ok this is not going to be good reading for the faint hearted!!!

I sneeked a peak at the piece of paper last night and I was 14st 10 after my holidays!! Last recorded before my holidays was 13st 4.....you do the maths!!

All those weeks of hard work all to be destroyed on 2 small weeks!!

To say I was shocked would be an understatement but I was more embarrassed and ashamed.:break_diet:
How can anyone put that much on in a fortnight!!
Now I know some people will think I must have binged for the whole 2 weeks, but I swear I havent! Before my holidays I was only having an evening meal, protein based and on holiday I was having 3 meals a day, no snacking! I was eating a lot of carbs on holiday though and I have never eaten 3 meals a day for as long as I can remember but seriously...that much of a gain! I felt like crying last night and couldnt even come on here coz I was so embarrassed!!

I am really worried that I will never to able to eat 'normally' again!! Is it natural for anyone to gain so much weight in such a short space of time?

I was gutted last night, but today is a new day and I am feeling a bit better about things, god only knows why! I have just done my measurements though and one bonus is they are somehow still the same as when I last measured at 13st 8 except for a 1 inch gain on my tummy!! How does that work then!!

So my 40 day effort needs to produce some amazing results or I am seriously gonna crack!! I felt so hungry tonight too.

For any newbies reading this though, please dont be put off....exante is great and has certainly done its bit so I cant blame the diet, something is just drastically going wrong with the eating again bit...god only knows how Im gonna solve that one!!

Sorry for the rant!!

Bloody hell!!! Are you sure? That's a lot, although I know as soon as I eat for 2/3 days I can easy gain half a stone! It's really worrying ain't it? How hard it is to come off and how easy it is to go back on.
I'm scared to go on holiday now lol so I better stick to 100% till then so I'm in with a fighting chance lol

It's easy for me to say but it'll soon be gone again Hun, bet you'll have an amazing first WI xx

Yep its right...unbelievable hey! Yeah I knew I could easy put half a stone on but that takes the mick! I really dont know what caused it to be absolutly honest, too many carbs, too many meals but arent you supposed to eat 3 meals a day!!

Oh dont worry about your holidays chick, you will be fine, I think I am just an exception to the rule! But yes you best stick to 100% till you go away just in case!! haha
I guess I just need to figure out what works for me.....now I know what definitely dosent!! xxxx

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

Wow .
I am gutted for you

There must be something odd going on Miss Mac.
That is alot to put on in such a short space of time.
Tis very odd, especially if your measurements are the same.

If it were me, I would definatley be questioning my scales.
Is there any chance that they could be wrong ?
Is there anyone you could borrow scales from for a couple of weeks, just to see how much the differ from your own ?

I hope your WI on Sunday is a good un Miss Mac, for a bit of damage limitation balancing

 

[Bananadrama]

Hey chicken, remember how much more water you will be retaining!!! I would bet anything that a majority of what you've put on is excess water.

Don't worry about it, you'll lose most of that this week

I think with regards to not being able to eat again, you will, the way I expect it will happen is that when we finish exante, we will gain I dunno, say a stone, then gradually, with healthy eating, we will lose that stone really slowly but it will stay off. If you are say...4 st OVERWEIGHT it's not a normal weight for your body so why would you put the whole lot back on if you eat sensibly? Do you see what I mean? OK maybe a stone and a half tops but as long as a healthy eating plan is started as soon as we finish I think will be OK.

New day anyway, on the way to 13st 4lbs again

Hope you're still 100%!! I thought about you last night when I was sat here pulling my hair out because I was dying to nibble! I thought "MM's sitting there now probably eactly the same as me"! lol and I didn't eat!! The shame of coming on here and admitting to eating was just way too offputting! lol

I dont think the scales are wrong Marge and I couldnt really blame them anyway coz they are the same scales I have used since the beginning and they showed 13st 4 before I went away so unless they went bezerk while I was on holiday, I think it was all down to me!!

My measurements were the same (apart from the tummy) but that was las night after 3 days of TS. Its funny but like I have said before, I felt huge again after 2 days of eating and on holiday I could feel the weight being back on, but the reason I took the measurements last night was because after 3 days TS, I didnt feel huge anymore!!

I dont know...my body amazes me. Still all the more need to stay 100% for 40 days!! xx

Hows things with you marge....still plodding along?..x

I must be like a camel if I can hold that much water!!

Aww....well at least you managed to resist. I was in the same boat if its any consolation. Was depressed about my weight gain, really really wanted a takeaway!! Decided to go in the bath before I did anything drastic, then after the bath did my measurements which made me feel a bit better and managed to resist! Went to bed at 9.30 though to keep out of temptations way!!

How are you getting on today bouncy...day 3 for you isnt it? xx

 

[Miss Mac]

37/40

Been to work this morning and havent worked a Saturday for ages. Typically the bonus to working a saturday was we all used to order a bacon sandwich, kind of like a consolation!! Was so tempted to do that this morning but thought about how much that would sabatage me given my current circumstance and resisted.

I tested the sticks last night and was pleased to see traces of pink, however this morning they are gone again. I am currently feeling very very hungry!! Dont know what happened there, certainly didnt do anything to knock me out. Nevermind, Im sure it will come back soon!!

Been invited to my sisters tonight, for food and drinks and a catch up!! Had to tell her I cant eat coz of the diet, told her about the massive gain I had and how that means I cant afford to have a night off, but said I will come over for the catch up bit. Popped to shop on way home from work and got some little bottles of dr pepper zero so will take them to drink!! I just hope I can get through it coz I think they are still going ahead with ordering food!!! Help!! haha!!

I will stay strong....I will....I will!! xx

 

[Bananadrama]

Yeah day 3 for me today. Still doing OK although had a coffee with milk in it this morning....SHOCK HORROR!!! lol I hope you're having a good day matey and being positive!! Just think, this time next week you'llprobably be about a stone down!!! xx

 

[Miss Mac]

I hope so Bouncy....Would be amazing if I did!!

I always have a drop of milk in my coffee and it dont stop me getting into ketosis or anything. I really cant do black coffee!!

Been for a nap this afternoon so have survived today but going to sisters tonight which will be the real test!! xx

 

[Miss Mac]

Well I survived unscathed eventhough there was pizza, garlic bread, onion rings etc etc. I had a coffee and I took a bottle of dr pepper zero!! I must need some kind of saint hood for that surely!! hehe!!

So I have been thinking, and i lost 2 stone quite quickly then it all seemed to go a bit wrong. It wasnt with cheating or anything like that but more to do with planned breaks and the breaks were too long. So what ever I lost I put back on and then had to lose again, taking at least 2 weeks out of my plan each time. Unfortunately life keeps getting in the way of this diet but I also think I sometimes make excuses to come off plan, like the week I had with my son. It was lovely but was it really necessary to do it for a whole week? Then before my holidays, I came off plan before my hols which wasnt necessary either, I was just finding it particularly hard to stick to.

I feel like I have been stuck between 13's and 14's for ages and getting nowhere fast so now my goal is to break that cycle and somehow get into the 12's. From there on it is all virgin territory to me!!

So its weigh in day tomorrow and I am going to see what my start point is and then hopefully I can set a goal for the 12's and focus on that. Being back in the 14's upset me loads the other day and I love the benefits of looser clothes, not feeling bloated, not going to bed stuffed so I am determind to do this and start getting somewhere again!!!

Off for a bath now and then I have a little bit of a bar left to have with a coffee!! xx

I am a non believer , and would be still questioning my scales

Aye.. I am still plodding on Miss Mac

Same here....
POAS earlier today, which wasn't pink.
Although, I did not feel hungry at all.
I think Starlight is right... they are a load of nonsense.
When this lot are done, I am not buying anymore

Unfortunately life keeps getting in the way of this diet

Thats how I feel sometimes.
But there must be another way to look at this.
We cant all live to diet, can we ?
Diet must be part of our lives...

Good luck for WI
Marge

[Bananadrama]

How did your WI go?? I think you'reright about the making excuses, just need to knuckle down and get to where you need to be and then think about coming off it etc.

I did a bad thing and ate and drank last night so am 2 up this morning but hoping it's only temporary. New day though so here's to Sunday! HappySunday xxxx

 

[Miss Mac]

OMG!!!!

36 to go/40

Well weigh in today and I have lost nearly 1 stone in 4 days!!!!
I am now 13st 11 from 14st 10 on Tuesday!!!

Seriously, some people might think I am making this up but I can assure you most definitely I am not!

Something well dodgy must be going on with my body....that cant be right can it?
I think the only explaination can be that I retain water and that glyco thingy as soon as I eat!!

So I am back in the 13's which is brilliant, but still a long way off the 12's so need to get some good losses under my belt!!

I feel much better now, I was so shocked with that huge gain, I feel a bit more on track now.

I woke up starving hungry this morning again for some reason, eventhough I POAS yesterday and it was bright pink! Strange goings on with the sticks too, in the morning they had showed no trace!!

So I am now going to sort my ticker and stuff out and get everything updated!

Just shows how much fluid you can gain by eating salt carbs etc etc ..fantastic that you are back in the Zone and that loss is just what ya needed i bet!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bananadrama]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! Ahhh I'm so pleased for you! I had a feeling a lot of it might have been water and luckily for you it seems it was! I bet you're so motivated now aren't you!!!

Really made me smile has that. Well done you. Give yourself a pat on the back! xxx

 

[Little-Miss-Perfect]

That is an excellent loss.
I am super chuffed for you :banana dancer:

I reckon you are half woman, half sponge

Although, it does make me think, that you may have to go a bit lower than your goal, so that when you do start eating, it balances its self out, if you know what I mean
