So a while since i last posted but as i am not strictly ss'ing it seems pointless keep telling you guys how i am maintaining... I am still 10,7 and am very happy not to have put on any weight.
I am still replacing a number of meals with my CD shakes in order to avoid any gains.
BUT now i feel it is time to get back onto ss and practice what i preach!!!
I will be back to ss on Monday 18th Aug in order to get into the 9's and possibly down to 9,1...
Def better to maintain for a while in between a long haul on CD SS as it helps you to come to terms with your new size and get some renewed motivation to tackle the next stage.
The novelty has worn off being 10,7 and I am ready to get a bit lower!!!
SS is fantastic and possibly the best way to lose weight quickly. I dont think I can cope with a 1lb loss per week, even if it is my last stone! I still want fast results and ss is the only way to get the results i have become accustomed to!
So wish me luck for climbing back onto the wagon. I will def be able to sympathise with my ss'ing customers anyway!

Thursday 24th July - Day 169
Ooops no post for almost a month...
Well as per the last post i did mess up at our BBQ... I only had 6 days til my holiday and could i wait less than a week to eat something? NO i couldnt.
I ended up eating whatever...
I then failed to get back onto SS the next day. Beat myself up the whole week (mon-fri) for messing up so close to our hols. Went to Turkey for 2 weeks with 2 other couples and believe it or not i felt ok getting into my bikini on the first day!
I ate everything i wanted for 2 weeks and have paid the price... not only a bad bout of IBS lasting almost a week but also a gain which saw me hitting 11,4 on Monday. Now its Thursday and after 3 days on ss i am 10,11. So not soooo bad but still bad lol...
Back on ss now until 8th august as we are off to Center Parcs (again...) with my family. Hoping to at least get to 10,4 which would mean a stone off post-holiday weight and also what i weighed before i indulged at the pre-holiday bbq!
Am now counselling others doing the CD and really enjoy helping them to achieve the same results as i have. Before my holiday gain i was 2 lbs off 4 stone lost.
Wish me luck as i get rid of the holiday lbs only to replace them with more holiday lbs in a few weeks!!! Oh well as long as it works for me and helps me to maintain i am happy to continue ss'ing down to 9 stone something.

Sunday 29th June - Day 144
Still 10,3 today, was actually 10,4 yesterday! Feeling a little bunged up so i think im a little constipated. Will use a senokot max as a last resort...
Got a BBQ today at ours with our 'holiday gang'. Only 6 days to go... Cant believe it has come round so fast. Booked this holiday at the end of Jan 2008 and started CD at the beginning of Feb 2008. Thank the lord we booked the group holiday i say! Doubt i would've lost 4 stone otherwise...
So am torn between ss'ing or having a chicken breast or 2. Really want to stick to ss 100% but feel i may get led astray. I will try be strong but if all else fails i will have plain chicken breast and nothing else!!!!!!
Bought some lovely holiday clothes this weekend. Alot of size 10 dresses!!!! woo hoo...
But am still a size 16 bikini bottom (and 10 top lol... pancake huh???). Still very much a pear shape so maybe some exercise is in order when we get back from hols and try to tone up my legs a little.
So wish me luck for today aarrghhhhh... Keep reminding myself only 6 days and i can eat what i like!

Friday 27th June - Day 142
10,3 today and 8 days to go... so 4lbs til we see the 9's!!!!! yippeeee....
still sticking to ss 100% and almost (very nearly) caved in last night. other half suggested a takeaway and i said 'yeah doner meat please'. then took a second to get into my pjs and jumped on scales and saw 10,4 yesterday evening (normally a few lbs heavier than the morning about 7pm).
i then decided that if i was gonna see 10,3 today then doner meat was a no no. ok i still be in ketosis BUT the salt in the meat would have meant water retention and certainly not a loss of another lb so i am glad i held back and said no to doner meat!
phew...
so 8 days to go and this time next week i shall be getting ready to go on hols!!!! whoop whoop...
really really really wanna be in 9's so i am trying so hard to stick to ss for the next week. who knows how long this dedication will last...

Tuesday 24th June - Day 139
10,4 today!!!!!!!!!! thats 9lbs in 6 days.
only 3lbs til 4 stone lost (10,1)... and 5lbs til i am in 9's... and 7lbs til 9,11 and BMI of 25.
still feeling (fairly) positive, i am taking this re-start one day at a time as i know how easily i can be swayed and convinced that eating is ok.
so can i lose 5lbs in the next 11 days...? i will certainly try.

Monday 23rd June - Day 138
12 days to go and i am now the lowest ive been since 2003/2004.
10,5 today!!!!!!!!!
was 10,13 last wednesday so 8lbs off in 5 days... this is why we do CD/SS!
I am feeling very positive and like my faith in CD has been restored.
i so want to get into the 9's for my holiday, and this is what is motivating me to stick to it 100%. even 9,13 and 3/4 would be fine lol...
the weekend was a tough one and food was on my mind all weekend. BUT i managed to restrain myself and this feels much better than eating in the long run.
so 12 days and 6lbs to lose, its gonna be tight so need to get on with the water guzzling....

Wednesday 18th June - Day 133
So feeling very refreshed mentally (feeling yuk physically) and ready to begin a re-start.
After my failed attempt to re-start on monday i need to realise what triggers a binge. I have told my other half not to comment on me and my diet. If i break it then it is my choice and he should not ask if i am on/off ss and if i want a chinese/ indian etc.
I have also made the decision to only ss until i go on holiday and then will do a low cal/ low carb plan when i get back. This will motivate me more to stick to ss knowing i dont need to do the shakes for much longer. I will get my life back when we get back from Turkey yay!
So heres to a countdown to Turkey, will she / wont she be able to ss until 4th July? watch this space... Oh and scales say 10,13!
