ok just ordered pizza for the guys... erm.. not a huge fan of the pizza they wanted but hey it's pizza and knowing me i eat f***ing anything.
this is going to be so hard.

 

[flossnoscar]

update: not touched anything yet.. only a sniff of the pizza. problem is some slices left over.

 

[flossnoscar]

successfully avoided the food. still some leftovers but i had a spaghetti bolognese pack with broccoli and a lot to drink to i'm now full and the cravings have subsided.
i was sooo close my god, but feel so much better now that i've resisted everything!!

Quick update: Still 100% . In ketosis as well.
Just need to stick to it !!

Ordered the book: The Beck Diet Solution for my kindle. Really good on attacking the psychological problem behind my bad eating habits. I'm reading this book as if it was written specifically for me.
I highly recommend it... only a few pounds for the kindle version. £7-odd pounds for the hardcopy.

I had a dream last night that i f****d up this diet again by eating a few slices of pizza. It's a nice feeling when u wake up and u realise that's all it was!

I have been doing ok lately actually. Making some nice new recipes. One is flat bread... Using up a cheesy pasta pack, i added some herbs and a bit of water. Spread it flat on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. Lovely cheesy bread!

Second recipe is simple as well... Cottage pie mixed with one egg. Separate them into four balls and then used a bit of fry light (in my new non stick ceramic frying pan which is fantastic btw). I pressed them down a bit as they were cooking. The second time i made them i cut up a babybel and added it to the mix. Really nice believe it or not!

wow so quiet on here... could hear a pin drop! usually not a good sign.
anyway, i'm weighing in tomorrow. not expecting an amazing number because hey, i cheated for a couple of weeks. but hopefully something a bit respectable!

made courgette crisps with schwartz chips seasoning... mmm so tasty. i sliced the courgettes at an angle so they are bigger than if i had just cut them circular.. they tend to shrink in the oven. used a teflon mat which worked out really well.

Dinner was lovely tonight.
Had the cheese flatbread again. Came out even better than the first time. Made the cottage pie patties and cauliflower. Some oxo gravy. Lush! Don't even feel like im dieting.
Having a bar ive cut up and microwaved. Not bad either.
I have a bit of lemon and lime jelly in the fridge for later!

 

[flossnoscar]

I have to say... Slim and save is miles better than Cambridge. There is no way i would have stuck to the Cambridge diet.

Weigh in: 13st 0.
Really pleased. So close to the 12s i can taste it. Just on the cusp of breaking through this mental barrier of 13st!

 

[flossnoscar]

Updated my stats. So since 7th January, I've lost a total of 18 lbs. With an avg weekly loss of 2.5 lbs. Taking into account being off plan for a couple of weeks in feb that's not too bad!!

 

[Carrie39]

Hey have you hit the 12's yet?? Sooo close!!!!!

 

[flossnoscar]

Ahhhh noooo!! 8 ounces away!!.!!!

 

[flossnoscar]

If i chop off my hair ill be in the 12s lol

 

[Carrie39]

LOL...that's a bit drastic - bald but in the 12's

 

[flossnoscar]

No need to chop off that hair.
I weighed myself again this morning and *drum roll* officially in the 12s! (12st 13lb). I have not been this weight since 2011. This time last year I was 14st 12lb!

Ill refrain from the scales for a while now. Maybe weigh myself next Sunday. We'll see! Officially under 5 stone to lose!!

 

[Carrie39]

Amaaazing!!!! Am hanging out to be in the 11's...12 years since I've been in the 11's when I got married! :O Only a few pounds to go )

 

[flossnoscar]

Thanks carrie!! Im so happy with myself. I couldnt even do this for my wedding so i think it says a lot as to how determined i am this time.

You are really close to your goal then. Which diet do you follow? X

 

[Fay737731]

Well done on your progress both of you!!!! I'm fluctuating between the 11s and 12s at the moment having been Christmas/New Year then dieting again and then a calorific holiday....I am ALMOST a size 14 which I don't think I have been for about 10 years (and same goes for being < 12 as well)...

 

[Carrie39]

You must be uber determined this time...I was pretty motivated for my wedding but then put it on afterwards <rolling eyes> It's funny how sometimes you just get in the zone and can make it happen. I just started on SS+ a week ago....after being on SS for about 8 weeks (some weeks were over a week till weigh-in). When i got married I was at my lightest 11 stone 13lbs 12 years ago - only 5lbs off being back there (oh but the body has changed so much after 2 kids!). My boobs are big and always said if i got to a good weight , I'd get a boob reduction (i've lost a bit but not huge amounts from chest). I'm 40 this year so maybe will be asking for that for my birthday lol

Fay - congrats on your losses, you sound similar to me - has been a long wait to get to where you are now.
