Hi everyone, hope u are all well?

I just got back from spending 6 weeks with my Dad, and by my reckoning I have put 9 1/2lbs back on. Not to upset about this though as it could have been much worse, and I have managed to maintain exactly a whole stone of my original weight loss.

I am ready to get back to healthy eating again and restart bootcamp (and work ) on Monday.

Fredsnail is it too late/ambitious to aim for 5lb weight loss before the end of this month?

I plan to follow to the Ketogenic diet at the end of the year. Has anybody done this? It's a diet used by many body builders to switch your body to using fats as an energy source, thus stripping body fat. It's minimal carbs, but it's different to the Atkins diet. Fat (essential fatty acids and unsaturated) and protein is high.

Has this diet got something to do with putting your body into ketosis so u are using body fat stores for energy?

Didn't go to bed till 5am this morning after being delayed due to our aircraft being stuck by lightning. That resulted in me eating a large amount of absolute crap. Arghh! I'm too tired for the gym so i wont even bother, but might give it a go tomorrow before i have work. I want to at least do 3/4 of that marathon!

Exactly that. This can be tested by using Ketostix which you urinate on and it detects the keytones in your urine to show you have made the switch. Sounds pretty hard going, but I am up for the challenge because it works for everybody as its based on how we all use energy. What's 3 months out of your life to get your body fat right down? Nothing.

I think once u get into ketosis you no longer feel hungry.

Hi can I please join this forum? It will be my first time on something like this so sorry if I'm not supposed to post here lol. I really need some help to loose weight and I am hoping that reading about others trying to do the same might help. At the minute I just weigh myself every Thurs at home and keep a note of it - although I haven't been doing very well recently. Thanks )

Welcome :j:j:j

You can post your result at any time in the week and I'll add it to the chart for you. If you have made some losses so far let me know and I'll add them onto the chart for you too.

There will be some new challenges at the beginning of May you can join if you want too. Just keep posting and join in and ask any questions - we're all in this journey together so can help each other.

Hope you had a fab time away :beer:

It's not too late - I'll add you in for 5lbs but don't be too dispondant if you don't make it as the final chart for April will be next Wednesday.

Sadly I look hideous in any dress :rotfl: so I won't be entering to win this - but it will look great on someone so good luck to anyone entering. :T

Ha I really hope so because currently I am sick of being hungry all of the time, I have to constantly eat! Though this is exactly what you need when building muscle, it's an effort.

A wee question from me.
As a newie at SW I take it if I have 15 syns instead of 10 it means a slightly less weight loss IYSWIM?
Was out last night at a friends and recken I had maybe 20 syns and have had about 10-15 every other day so cant claw back IYSWIM?
