Hi everyone,
I have survived my 3rd day back on without any hiccups, and I'm still feeling great.
L-Jay, you are powering down. I am not going quite as fast as you. I have lost 3.5kg in 3 days ( which I am thrilled with). I totally agree that the rapid weight loss is so encouraging, and I will always weigh every day just to keep track of it.
mumbine, I also eat everything in the house if I blow a diet,just so it's not there for me to eat the next day, and then the next day I go out and buy more!! I have never before succeed at any diet I have tried (which is many), but found that the fact that this is so strict and so quick worked for me. You know you can't eat any more, because after you have eaten your food for the day there is no more. On weight watchers and other diets I used to tell myself I would have a little bit more and then compensate with some exercise later, but later never came, and a little bit more always led to a lot more! After you have been on this for a few days, you should go into ketosis and you don't get hungry or have any cravings which makes it easier. Don't worry about trying to lose weight prior to the program arriving, just eat normally, and tell yourself that the day you get it is D-day and try to stay focused. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Mitmary7, I did the same as Lizzi as I was losing the weight. Look out for bargains, or visit the factory warehouses. You won't want to be wearing baggy for too long. As the weight comes off you want to show it off!!
chikoand sms, well done getting through day 1. The first few days are always the worst, aren't they, so getting through those is the biggest battle. Good Luck.
missys-mum, good to hear you're still going strong. Keep it up. Who can resist their daughters beautiful gifts.
Carissa, when I was on the program before, I would have cheese quite often ( its yummy isn't it). If my weight loss slowed down a bit, I would lay off it for a little while until the weight loss kicked into gear again, and then start eating it again, but I weight myself every morning so I can see if the weight loss is slowing down, and I had judged how much weight I would lose at each week in the month. I used to have 2 good weeks where I would lose 2 or 2.5kg, and then 2 not so good weeks where I would lose either 1.5kg or 1 kg.
lizzi, I've also pulled out my knitting. Our church is having a scarf, beanie and bed socks stall in a few weeks, so I've been madly knitting scarves. They are great because you don't need to think about what you are doing, and keep your mind off the fact that you're hungry.
Anyway everyone, have a great day. Hope I didn't miss anyone out!
and cant handle the yoghurt so I am pretty limited with my choices for breakfast..
