Well done, once ketosis kicks in the hunger and the tiredness will all pass and things will be great

Keep up the good work x

thanks chick, was so hungry last night but one bath and an early night later made it through. was at a course today with some of the guys from work with, it had to be a sit down lunch but stayed strong not even the most delish looking sticky toffee could sway me from my cranberry bar, its easier once you ve got into ketosis. hows it going for you? still got the determined head on? when is your official weigh in looking forward to that big drop x

Work things and social things can he hard so good on you for staying strong sometimes a bath and early night can be our saviour.

My official weigh in is on Tue and I can't wait, very determined and can't wait to see what the scales say.

I've had 3 Tetras today as they are so flipping easy but going to mix it up a bit next week and get a few mint choc as I love them Hot and a few soups. Going to resist bars until week 2 ( for my own sanity ) I don't want to chew yet

 

[skydragon]

was just looking at some of your pic s from before,they re fantastic, that ll keep you well motivated, but you look like a fab/fun person to be around no matter what. i like the tetra too but only a few of the mix shakes (toffee/walnut, vanilla and choc mint) i like the porridge but have to have them for my evening meal and they have to be eaten with a teaspoon. can actually convince myself im full by the end where as if i have a soup im convinced im hungry. blinking weird head i ve got
im really looking forward to next week as my counsellor has the lemon bars back in stock and not had one since my holiday oh its the little things. think i should get a pretty good week this week (provided i don t fall) as its 4 weeks since i came off and last week although i ate a few products never got into ketosis. so maybe not a full on first week loss but hopefully more than a couple of pounds. have been good, thought id keep off the scales this week as im a serial weigher and just have the reveal on mon. oh it ll be a well pee ed off face if its not good

I sometimes look at my pics and wonder if it was really me lol,
I didn't feel slim even when I was as the mind takes a lot longer to catch up than the body lol.

Your doing fab so I bet your loss will be a good one !

Keep up the good work x x x

it so is, my size 30 diesel jeans actually fitted today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a few pounds more wouldn t hurt but i could wear them today, felt pretty darn good. still tired here but the same happened when i went into ketosis the first time takes me just over a week to readjust them it s plain sailing. your effort is pretty impressive 5 mile walks and the likes, your super charged lady, much respect. im thinking i ve got another 3 /4 weeks ss then should be able to come up the steps. i need to up my excise soon as although i do a lot of walking i hate hills and in june i ve just agreed to hike the inca trail so need to get into training and think i ll need a spot more of food.
and another day in the bag ( it is ss+ as life without tea/coffee +milk is a no no) so tom the big day for me that ll be that ll be day 6 technically so fingers and toes crossed

Yeah, Marchish 2015!!! I don't remember if I asked you what stops you made and what your highlights were?

Work is really dragging today.... :-(

 

[skydragon]

your work is being a bit difficult just now? might of been another thread, hope clocking off comes soon.

we did Beijing ulan bator, ulan ude, Irkutsk,Yekateringburg, nizhny novgorod and moscow. would of liked to take in the part through the Kazan (Cossack region) but train times didn t allow. highlights? id be here all day but Beijing, monoglia s people and landscape,Irkutsk and the lake baikal, history of Yekateringburg and the grandeur of moscow would be some. i ve been to st petersburg before and which ever of the 2 cities you start at its a win win. not done as much of the far east but loved cambodia and thailand. the pair of you will have the most memorable time ever

We plan on starting in St Petersburg

Will be asking for more tips the closer we get I am sure.

There have been a lot of people leaving my office recently so the surrounding desks are empty, the nearest other person is three desks away. So basically I am silent all day, no conversation, no banter etc. And then there is the work which is getting a bit tiresome...I clock off in 20 minutes and will be running for the door!

ss+ success today and 6km at the gym with hills no less a bit bored this evening but cupboard raiding is not on the agenda

I couldn't agree more, the more in the " group " the merrier, we are all here with the same thing in mind. Support on a VLCD is a must and this place is full of support and tips.

You all certainly help me keep on track x

 

[Manx_yessir]

Thank you. My weigh in day is a Monday, which keeps me on track at the weekend
I don't think anyone understand a VLCD unless you are on one or doing it, so although friends are supportive they don't really understand 100%. X
