It was really interesting, Ideal viewing for me being someone who is fascinated/obsessed about diet and nutrition right now! Got a new book that it going to be really interesting, apparently blows all the theories we are conditioned to by the government/nhs out of the water.
Oh yum! yeah I do. and currently obsessed with everything coconut, I guess it's cos it always reminds me of holidays!
Meh, nothing to report really, half a pound heavier than yesterday (shower totally didnt work!) resulting in only a 1.5 loss this week! I'm just hoping its water retention since my ache from swimming went much quicker yesterday and I did have a lot of water - must be some sort of corrolation right?

11.5lbs to go.... the slowest moving 11.5lbs of my life! Theres part of me that thinks screw this, if I don't exercise maybe my losses will be better, but I know that's not the best for the long run.
Am however tempted to move up to step 2, Lyn (LMS) is a few lbs lighter than me and loosing 2-2.5 a week on step 2, so seems kinda silly messing around on SS+ if I can possibly achieve the same with more food options and a more normal (ish) amount of calories. Will discuss tonight with CWPC - see what he thinks.
I guess I knew it had to happen eventually, I just didn't mentally prepare myself for it!
Plan is maybe to go for a swim again tonight after my appointment, I will see what my energy levels are like when we're finished and make a call then, if I don't go tonight though it will most likely be another wait until sunday.
yeah it's a little demotivating, but I'll get there eventually, it is after all a change for life right, so it can't ALL happen at once!

I was going to say that step 2 would be a good idea! Ur bmi is in the right place and would be interesting to see the loss difference but again you must prepare for water retention on ur 1st week on step 2 cuz I've read that can happen.
Swim sounds good if you can
I know it's demotivating huni I really do but hopefully step two is going to work for you for the better! Then ul be on ur way to maintenance and that is so exciting!!

So... On my CWPCs scales I've had a good loss this week, whereas last week it was good on mine bad in his lol! It was 1.5kg which is about 3.5lbs (wtf?!)
So was feeling good, so went for a swim - managed 20 lengths today - 4 more than before! Yay!
Didn't get a chance to talk steps with him as I couldn't park legally, so was a bit of a rush :-( so don't know what I'm gonna do just yet, will play it by ear.

Okay so I lost 1lbs last night but im happy with that I'm 9 stone 7lbs now so dont expect to see 4lbs a week anymore. Annoying though cause that puts me a meesly 0.5lbs off goal sooo I'm happy to move upto step 3 as I'll get the 0.5lbs off on the that step. I feel so much better already my body was definitely screaming out for more food. Mint chocolate mix a moose and strawberries for breakfast... oh yuuum!! Best thing ever!!
I would say try step 2 and see how you get on... hope your having a good day

I don't know... Maybe.... thing is my CWPC did say I shouldn't worry about the spiradic losses and think of them more as an average. Today is SS+ - 4 packets and maybe some milk as I am going to a friends house this evening so can't cook anyhow. I'll reassess tomorrow!

Prob is the last few days I've lost the knack of eating when hungry and actually forgetting real hunger. I usually have a shake 8ish, another 12-1ish, a bar or tetra on the way home 4.40/5ish then a meal just after 6. But today I know I had 2 products for the wrong reason... Had a bar at 3.45 since everyone else was ticking into giant buttons - I usually only have it when I'm flagging, then got home from my friends about 9 - wasn't hungry, could have quite happily gone to bed on 3 packs, but no, because I love my choc shakes, I had it cos I fancied it, wrong reason! Made it with milk since there was still that allowance remaining as well! Gonna regret it from a tummy perspective since I struggle to tolerate 4 products in one day, my stomach is already making really loud noises :-s
So until I can re-learn what my body is telling me I need to be mega careful. I will assume SS, then if I feel like I need more, only then have a meal, since eating for the hell of it is not a habit I want to encourage. It's only a couple of days, a blip I guess, just really conscious of avoiding bad habits. I guess it's not helping my body me swimming twice in 3 days as well, it's probably as confused about diet and exercise as I am! Not knowing what to expect! I'm gonna take it day by day, if I want 3 packets, I will, if I want a step 2 meal - I will too, but I will re-learn to hear what my body is telling me!
Last few days have felt so hectic. And maybe just over 3 weeks time I will have holiday to so need to get organised not just for diet but for work, if I do go away I want to sleep soundly knowing I don't have to rely on anyone to look after my stuff whilst im away, so gonna be working my backside off on every aspect of my life the next few weeks! Just hope I can relax after.

Yea you don't want to get into a habit but you don't do it all the time so don't freak out!
Hope ur tummy feels better
If the meal instead of the pack helps do that and even if its just an easy meal because when u are busy the last thing u wanna do is think of cooking!!
Ur so stressed you deserve a break!! I know what you mean about not relying on people to do ur bit! Ur right and that's very admirable
I hope you have the opportunity to destress!!

Absolutely!
Since I have time I'm making today a step 2 day.... Lentil soup currently bubbling in the stove but it doesn't smell too promising!!
Also drinking some milk, bought some yogurt to have but it was a new brand - and it was horrible! I might try blending it with a pack tomorrow and see what it's like.
Will report back once I've tried it....

The lentil soup in the book? I thought it looked good :/
Ooh nvr thought of blending a pack with yoghurt!
How are you feeling today?
Xx

I take it all back!!! It is lovely, I blended it since its quite thick and more of a stew so by blending it makes its a bit more soupy! I added half a green chilli extra cos I'm incapable of cooking a recipe without tweaking! But very much liking it.... Have no idea how I'm gonna finish this bowl!! And the great thing is that I have 3 more potions ready to go... 1 for work tomorrow, one for the freezer and one for another day!
I'm ok, just stressing still! Glad it's bank holiday weekend! Rana Saturday, gardening Sunday, Rana Monday! Thing is I can't go in the ship Monday so we'll go into town. Rana not thinking said we could go for lunch, I corrected him and he was fine and back tracked, but I feel a bit mean so was thinking maybe we could do lunch and ill try my best to be careful. I dunno. I'd quite like for u to go for lunch since its once in a blue moon we can do that, and I really enjoy doing normal stuff like that.
How are you today hun?

Hi Ria (and martha),
My name's Candice. Ria - I've spent the last few hours reading your entire diary. It is so incredibly motivational. I wish I had found it earlier.
I started CWP (with my then bf) in may 2011. I lost nearly a stone then went on holiday. When I got back I yo-yo'd on and off cambridge for years basically - psychologically I was never quite ready. My poor cambridge consultant is a star - she never gave up. The bf and I got married last july and I weighed 13st (a lot for being 5'0"). So back in April I was up at 14st 12lbs and something clicked mentally and did the plan solidly for a month with the hubby. I lost a stone and a bit and was down to 13st 11lbs. Then we went to a formal dinner (had to go) on the 4th of may and it was downhill from there. I am going on holiday in 5 weeks(and seeing family that I haven't seen since my wedding) so am determined to see this through yet again. Anyway so today is day 3 again and I weighed myself to see where I stand and I'm at 14st basically. I had a really hard day and was on the way to mcdonald's when i decided i just didn't want to be a fatty anymore and turned the car around and drove home. I came on the forums and saw one of your posts Ria and saw the link to your diary and started reading it. Best thing ever. I checked my ketostix and i'm in a solid good ketosis. I feel really re-motivated !! so thanks!!!
And so many things that you've said I;m totally like, omg me too! and i loove clothes. ive just never been able to wear what i want. i buy clothes cos they don't make me look too fat instead of ones that i really want to get and im sooo sick of it.
oh and I have a question actually about how you make your mousse -- how much water and mix a mousse do you use and how long do u leave it in the fridge for. Just cos whenever I try to make it it comes out very thick and not that appetizing.
how's the stuff with your consultant application coming on?? i think you'd be a great consultant!!

It looks really nice
I have a sw soup book and the lentil in there is amazing!!
Can't wait to try it because I'm on step 2 from the 3rd of June for a week! I plan to try that and the cottage cheese lol oh and ur egg and asparagus idea!!
Good you have meals for the 3 more days especially when u cba cooking!
The weekend will be good for you. Yes a nice lunch with rana sounds good. I've seen a few people eat in nandos ( if you like that) on step 2 most have chicken and salad or Mediterranean salad and that works for them.
Ah I'm ok been revising most of the day! Really tired today don't know why.
So glad to know that this time tomorrow I will be free and have nothing to worry about except gutting the house out and sorting stuff for the holiday and of course getting rid of that stuff I want to eBay.
I ordered a dress yesterday for my sisters birthday 22nd June. I know this look isn't for everyone but I liked it
Also had great news today that the skin care range I looove is now being sold in boots in Belfast. Liz Earle have you tried their stuff?
It's the small things but I'm excited lol
Also found before pics that I had taken waaay at the start before Cambridge and omg! I had no idea I was soo big. Actually annoyed that I was soo unaware!
