Welcome lilac! Ive got about 7 to loose myself
And i fell off the wagon again last night. DuncSue
i know how you feel! I feel like **** and just keep trying never letting myself get fully into ketosis, why am i finding this so hard? Today is the end of four weeks and yes i have already lost more than a stone (weigh in tonight) i can do so much BETTER.
I want to be better i have to do better. Right. Trying. Again. Again.If you dont know where you are going... Any road will take you there :rotfl:0 -
Does anyone know if that program repeats? Sammy? I couldnt watch it as i was watching horse people... then the hospital (this last episde of the documentary was of obese people and the NHS - can you say gastric band anyone)
Pretty eye opening stuff wish i had seen it before i stuck my nose in the kitchen!!
hey there is one for the books, if someone offered you a gastric band would you take it? - Me a big fat NO. i got myself into this mess and as nice as the idea is i watched them doing the opps last night and it was disgusting. And you cant eat afterwards either. One or two mouthfuls of real food (non liquidised) at a time. NOT HEALTHY
They should all try cambridgeIf you dont know where you are going... Any road will take you there :rotfl:0 -
Good Morning!!!!
I still haven;t caught up on the rest of the thread.... After walking yeasterday I didn;t feel so good, so had some tablets and 40mins sleep and felt better, woke up this morning and ketostix are showing dehydreated even though I had 5 liters of water yesterday. Sigh........! Anyway Day 6 for me today and I am feeling the weight loss. I haven't weighed so it will be a suprise for me come Friday,
I hope you are all doing very well.

Don't worry about eating Duncan - I had a chinese last night and don't feel guilty at all. My body needed it. I was feeling so crap and I am back on the diet today.
Welcome Lilac.

Morning everyone. Sue & Alpha, dont dwell on your slight blips last night. Its a whole new day today

Maz, well done on not ordering or eating out from the chippy. (How you managed that i've no idea, wish i had that will power!!!)0 -
gastric band... no, not now i've done this and it's working..... not sure i was big enough... now if you're offering tummy tucks, sign me up!!!!
DFW is debt free wanabee, i particular section of the forums on here, where the people are friendly and nonjudgemental... it's got a daily chat section where Spud and I spend all of our time when we're not on the cambridge thread! Some people prefer the Arms, but i've never been... in fact the only parts i go on now are Cambridge, Daily Chat, Cinema codes and the odd diary!!
Feeling chipper today, but i wish i could stop scale hopping as not seeing a loss this week...
Lilac - skipping a weeks weigh in should bring a nice surprise..!! Did your CDC make you buy 2 weeks before she went? That must've been hard on the pocket!
Alpha - today is another day babes....I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
morning all
seems a few had some blips last nite - i couldnt manage with the 3 x shakes only so had a small meal - then i had some cucumber, then celeriac, then 3 little shortbread bikkis my son left on the side and then - and here it is - had a couple of gin and slimline tonics -omg never again my head is pounding, and i am constipated, feel crappy but had a shake and def gonna do ss for today and tomorrow ready for weigh in on friday. aaaarrrrrhhhhh (scream).
