Oh my good god, i am 10,7 today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
50lbs in 12 weeks, i am over the bloody moon and feeling v positive today.
Was considering switching to Atkins yesterday (a weeks trial first though) but now i am happy to ss for a little bit longer.
It has given me the boost i needed to slog on with the shakes. I am sooooo happy!
10lbs to my next goal of 9,11 and a bmi of 25 for center parcs.
Good lord i never dreamt i would be here still (looking back at blog) and be able to say i am 10,7.
Really never thought id achieve this loss... wow!
Only 20lbs to go now til i get to my ultimate goal of 9,1. Not much at all... Def not worth messing it up now that im so close so ill continue ss'ing for as long as i can bear it.
Got my CDC training day next weds, i cant wait til i can help others to achieve such a great loss in such a short amount of time. I know when you start a diet like this if someone said "its only 12 weeks without food"... well 12 weeks does seem like a lifetime when you start out but hand on heart it has honestly flown by!
I dread to think what id weigh now if i had'nt started CD on Feb 6th. I certainly would'nt be soooo excited about going to a) wedding saturday, b) center parcs in a month and c) turkey with 2 other couples in 2 months.
Now im like 'BRING IT ON'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a feeling, i am seriously buzzing at the moment. Feel like crying! In fact my eyes have begun to well up while typing that! Cant believe it, this feeling is way better than the feeling you get when eating Haribo lol - and i do LOVE Haribo!!!!
So as it stands plans for now are (may change by tomorrow...) -
continue ss'ing for week 13
eat carefully and drink a few vodkas on saturday at wedding
back to ss on sunday
continue ss'ing all next week into week 14 (makes 100 days = 4 stone?)
next friday 9th may i have a dinner/dance for boyfs footy team so again will eat/ drink but carefully
may also have another friends bday next saturday 10th may, again eat/ drink carefully...
then continue ss'ing right up until center parcs on june 6th and hopefully 9,11 and bmi 25.
if i gain at cp i will go back to ss until i get below bmi 25 again and then move up plans...
phew, well thats the plan anyway!!!

Tuesday 29th April - Day 83
10,8 today... thats exactly 3.5 stone/ 49lbs gone!!!
I am over the moon, another target hit. 12 weeks and 3 1/2 stone gone for good.
I have so far hit all my weekly weight loss targets and i really dont know where my motivation has come from.
On any other diet i would've quit along time ago... Like 12 stone something. Cant really get to grips with the fact that i am now 10 stone something!!! Im hoping my head will catch up with my fast loss as i still feel like i look BIG...
I keep looking in the fridge/ cupboard for no reason whatsoever... I think it is getting nearer to the time when i should be going up the different levels of CD. I have'nt set a specific time for doing so but maybe when i get into the 9's or 9,11/ BMI 25 i will stop ss'ing and go to 810.
Althought i have to admit i love ss'ing, it gives me control yet freedom. If that makes sense!!!
I feel in control as i know i can only have my shakes, there are no choices to be made and with this comes freedom from the guilt which comes with my eating habits. So at the moment ss'ing is the best option for me.
Got the wedding on sat and ill be having a few vodkas and maybe a few buffet nibbles but def getting back to ss on the sunday. No excuses. Not long til i am in a swimsuit at Center Parcs (June 6th) and i want to have a healthy BMI (9,11) for this break.
It has become a yearly tradition to go to CP with the girls each year and last year i was nearly 13 stone and looked truly awful. But i had been doing weight watchers for a month or so and prob lost a stone and didnt feel that bad... Now i know i was BIG and will hopefully be feeling much much better this time round!
So day one of week 13 tomorrow and hopefully ill still be 10,8 or even better 10,7...

Monday 28th April - Day 82
Back from weigh in at CDC, 10,10 on her scales. This is good as it means i am a lb or 2 lighter on my scales...
Cant believe we are nearly at the end of week 12, week 13 starts on wednesday. Unlucky for some lol!!!!!!!! Hopefully not for me though.
Hoping to hit my 1st goal in the next week, 10,7. I wanted to be there for May Day so fingers are firmly crossed.
Should be doing aamw then 810 as my CDC feels i didnt do my week 5 and 10 aamws properly and you can only do a vlcd for 12 weeks without taking a break. I have had nibbles along the way, a trip to pizza express, a handful of vodka and diet cokes and a bowl of spag bol so i reckon i have had enough breaks! Not really too keen on doing either aamw or 810 so may just carry on with ss... ssshhhh!

Sunday 27th April - Day 81
Soooo no daily weigh in today, went 'out' last night and had a handful of vodka and diet cokes (8 to be exact...lol). I just felt i wanted to go out and socialise and have a 'fun & relaxed' night so i did just that.
I was and still am in ketosis as i stuck to vodka with diet cokes, even managed to resist kebab meat on way home! wow...
I didnt want to weigh myself this morning as the possible dehydration may have made me lighter than i actually am so thought id skip it today, saves disappointment tomorrow when the dehydration subsides and weight goes up!
Back on ss straight away this morning and hoping to do 5l of water today. Only 2 more days til end of week 12... still not sure what to do after this. Could move up plans, move to Atkins or continue ss'ing!!!! Decisions decisions... Ideally ss'ing until the 9's would be the best move but every now and then i am sooooo tempted to eat. I am beginning to miss food big-time but at the same time i want to lose as quickly as poss, this means ss'ing!
Can i make it to 10,7 for Wednesday (or May day as per my original target)... We shall see!

Friday 25th April - Day 79
10,9 today, 2 lbs til 1st goal... yay!
have had a good day...been doing some mega intensive work in the garden today so i think i got some exercise at last. ripping down a shed and lifting loads of paving slabs into a skip. even managed to fill the skip up!
hopefully my bingo wins will get a bit more toned after that lol...
feeling a bit better about myself now. i know the scales SAY i have lost the bulk of my weight but my head is struggling to catch up with the rapid loss. i still feel bigger than i should do at nearly 10,7.
BUT i am now in size 14 jeans and my boobs are no longer a DD or even a D so i have def lost weight lol... that is proof enough for me! boo hoo no boobies...
got the wedding a week today and have finally settled on a silk mix strapless dress from Monsoon in black and white. Love it! Got some lovely silver shoes and a little black bolero to go with it so am looking forward to getting dressed up!!!
still undecided about which route to take after next weeks weigh in... i would like to hit my 1st goal of 10,7 and either continue to SS til BMI 25 (ideal route) or switch to Atkins as i am feeling ready to eat again but still lose weight.
i have decided to wait and see how i feel on wednesday, am hoping i have to motivation to keep up with SS. fingers crossed i do!
realised today that no one has commented on my bum looking smaller... i am a true pear shape and hold the bulk of my weight from hips downwards. everyone says i look slimmer in the face but the true test for me is a smaller bum!
so heres to another 'good' weekend. i am painting the fences tomorrow so again another fairly active day. hope this helps me to hit 10,7 for wednesday. that makes 3.5 stone in 12 weeks. woo woo fingers crossed!

Wednesday 23rd April - Day 77
Well bit confusing today...
I weighed about 9am before drinking and was 10,11. Then had my phone interview to become a CDC (passed... begin training in May) and after this i had a wee and weighed again...
Was curious about how much a wee weighs and was 10,10.25, so ive decided to go with the 10,10.
I am hoping the scales were not playing games with me, i did jump on about 10 times to make sure it was a mistake and it kept saying 10,10. Fingers crossed it is still this tomorrow...
So only 3lbs away from my 1st goal, could be there next week at the end of week 12.
Cant really believe i am now in week 12. It has gone so fast and the best decision ive made in a very long time. 12 weeks sacrifice to go from 14,2 to 10,7 is amazing!
I am over the moon at the mo, really am quite shell-shocked by my achievement so far. I am not done yet though, i am just praying that my will power holds out a bit longer and allows me to continue to 9 stone something... Please please please...
Am looking forward to the wedding on May 3rd (in 10 days time), got a couple of dresses but am still on the look out for something that looks and feels better. Want to look my best of course!
I am having the evening off for the wedding, so a little buffet and few vodkas!!!!!!! But straight back on the SS wagon for another month until i go to Center Parcs on June 6th. Am hoping to be BMI 25 for this break!!!!!!!!!!
Have got another good friend's bday night planned on May 10th BUT dont think i am going to risk another night out so soon after the wedding! I will prob meet the girls for a pint or 2 (water of course) after their meal.
So week 12, lets do it!

Tuesday 22nd April - Day 76
10,11 today. Would like to be 10,10 for tomorrows weigh in so fingers crossed!!!!
Forgot to mention that i wore a pair of size 14 jeans on Saturday, what a buzz it is when you go down a dress or jean size... It really does keep you going.
I am beginning to struggle a little... Other half ordered a lovely mixed grill kebab yesterday and i was literally drooling! With my Atkins experience i am always tempted to cheat with things i know will not kick me out of ketosis. I know this would defy the object of abstinence so i am really trying not to cheat at all.
But with each passing week it is becoming harder. I want to continue ss'ing until BMI 25 (so another stone really) but each day is getting harder and harder.
I realise that this happens on every diet i try, i become complacent with my loss and then ruin all my hard work.
Well this time the 'work' has been harder than ever, harder than any diet ive done before... Maybe this is why i am more determind to keep going that bit longer and not sabotage everything ive achieved over the past 11 weeks.
Beginning of week 12 tomorrow, one more week and its been 3 months on CD. Crazy how time flies... Anyone beginning this diet and feeling daunted by how long it means not eating for should not worry. It has flown by and ive only really been struggling for the past few weeks. 1-10 were fairly easy going.
I lost 3 stone in 10 weeks so if i can then anyone can! Just stick to it as long as possible...
If i had some time off the diet i dont think i could get back into it. Alot of people say that the 1st time you SS is the easiest, it gets harder after each break from the diet to get back on track.
REMEMBER THIS AND IT SHOULD STOP YOU CHEATING!
I do feel like ive had enough of ss'ing and could quite easily go up the plans BUT i do not trust myself not to undo the work ive put into this. Maybe if i get to a healthy BMI then i will be more determined to keep going and get to goal. Wow to get to 9,1 will be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So week 12 here we come!

Sunday 20th April - Day 74
Thank the lord... still 10,12 despite eating last night!
I had my planned evening off for a good friends bday. We went to Pizza Express and i had;
Starter Mozarella and Beef Tomatoes with olive oil/pesto dressing
Main Pollo Verdure Salad - Chicken and roasted peppers and aubergine in a honey and mustard dressing
I also drank gallons of water and managed to avoid any dough balls/ garlic bread/ pizza and bday cake so 'well done me'!!!
It was weird eating in front of people who know ive not eaten 'properly' for 10 weeks. I felt like i was being watched as if i had an eating disorder and actually felt quite uncomfortable. One friend kept asking 'are you full yet'... I hardly ate any of my main as it was not alot of chicken and quite alot of the roasted veg and i felt bad for leaving it in case they thought i had a problem with food!
Oh well, need to take the rough with the smooth and just remember why i am doing this diet. The results speak for themselves and this is enough for me to keep going. So am back on track today, one shake down and about to get started on my water.
Having a lazy day today so no excuses for not drinking all my water, and more...
Seeing my CDC tomorrow and having my unofficial weigh in so am hoping to have a 10 stone something weigh in on her scales, but it seems unlikely as her scales weigh me heavier than mine.
So heres to a new start and 100% ss'ing from now until May 3rd when we have a wedding to go to. I am going to be having a planned evening off then too... hence the need to be strict from now until then!

Friday 18th April - Day 72
Oh my god scales have moved again - 10,12 today!!!
I really wanted to be in the 10's for my night out with the girls tomorrow night so this is amazing...
Only 5lbs away from my 1st goal of 10,7. Still feeling quite fat though. I did think at 10,7 i would be a fair bit smaller than i am... Hence it being my first goal!!!
So I am def going to continue to 9,1, my 2nd goal, which i hope to achieve by 4th July.
Now this 2nd goal seems quite attainable before July 4th BUT i am off a wedding on May 3rd, to Center Parcs on June 6th, also have my bday 14th June and have decided to have a murder mystery party... so will be eating normally in between ss'ing my way to goal or as far as possible (BMI 25).
I am over the moon at the moment, still quite shell shoced that i am actually in the 10's and no longer in the 11's/12's/13's or even 14's. Never did i think that i would actually be able to stick to this diet for this long.
Every day i feel like i never know how long this motivation will last, i intend to ss/ follow CD for as long as my will power allows me. I dont like to set goals too far ahead as i know how quickly will power can be lost or at least dwindle... So i am treating every successful day as an added bonus and one step nearer to goal.
Update on upcoming events -
2 weeks til wedding = 10,7 (5lbs away)
7 weeks til Center Parcs = 10,0 (12lbs away)
11 weeks til Turkey = 9,1 (25lbs away)
Watch this space to see if i achieve them!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday 17th April - Day 71
Yippeeeeeeee in the 10's at long last...
Only a day later than i had planned!!!!!! Ideally wanted to be in 10's for week 10 weigh in yesterday but hey ho, 1 day late is fine with me.
I really am on a mega-high. Losing weight, i reckon, is better than doing drugs (not that i would know but am guessing)... the buzz i am feeling is amazing.
Off shopping again later, i found a dress yesterday for the wedding on May 3rd. It is in Monsoon (£135 woooooo... bit steep...) and is a size 12 silky strapless number in black and white.
I am shopping with my other half later so will get a 2nd opinion!
Bought some silver kitten heel shoes the other day which would go perfectly with the dress, they are in a size 4 as my feet are now a size smaller after losing weight.
So in 4 weeks i could potentially be celebrating the 9 stone bracket... Well maybe 5 weeks time!
The losses have been slowing down lately but it has been so worth it. I never dreamt i would see CD through to the 10's. Normally i give up when the going gets tough, and it has been tough at times. I have been desperate to eat on numerous occassions but glad i am still ss'ing.
The quicker i get to goal the better. I must keep going now til BMI 25 at least, so about 9,7 i think.
Hope everyone reading this can draw some positive vibes from it, I really hope anyone struggling can see there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!! Keep going, it does work.

11 stone exactly today yippppeeeeeee.... more banners and streamers!!!!!!!
Only a quarter of a lb away from 10's. So excited about getting into the 10's.
That means i am 7lbs away from 10,7!
I went to see CDC last night and was 11,2 on her scales so that means 3 stone lost on hers too. She also reminded me that I can only SS for 12 weeks at a time. So on 30th April (12 weeks) I am moving to 810 plan for a week. This means still drinking shakes but adding a low fat/ low carb meal in the evening. Then I can go back onto SS for a few more weeks until I go to Center Parcs again to lose a few more lbs.
After CP I will be ss'ing again for 3 weeks until I go to Turkey, well if my BMI allows this... Cannot SS under BMI 25 :-(
I hope this does not slow down my weight loss too much. I really want to get to goal of 9,1 for Turkey.
So I am supposed to be going out for a good friends bday meal on Saturday BUT I am now a bit worried. My CDC said to follow ss strictly for next 2 weeks before doing 810 plan. I am not sure if i want to eat on Saturday now. I am picking up a menu from the restaurant today so will decide after looking at what choices I have.
Feel bad missing the meal but I have put so much into this diet and dont want to mess it up for the sake of one meal.
I am having my official weigh in tomorrow and praying I am in the 10's...

Monday April 14th - Day 68
yay 3 stone gone!!!! now 11,1... at long last!
so close to the 10's now, cant wait.
i am praying that ill be under 11 on wednesday but i think it will be nearer to the weekend at the rate i am losing right now... oh well got a night out with the girls on sat so it will be a good feeling knowing i am back in a 'safe zone'. 10 stone something sounds healthy'ish to me.
got cdc's weigh in tonight so it might even say 3 stone on her scales too, doubt it though!
i am going to be talking to my cdc about doing a spot of maintaining/ going up the levels before i go to center parcs and also turkey.
bit worried about going from ss to eating normally (well more than normal lol)... hope i dont pile the pounds on in a weekend!
should be getting a call from cambridge diet hq and having a phone interview very soon. after being recommended by my cdc i have applied to become a counsellor myself! its going to be a fab way to keep me on track and also help others get to grips with the best diet around...
it truly does work but it is one of the hardest things i have ever done!

Sunday 13th April - Day 67
gggrrrr still hanging around on 11,2...
no way am i gonna be in 10's for Wednesday weigh in at this sluggish rate!
went out last night and couldnt bear to drink water so had 3 small diet cokes... oops... maybe this is why the scales are being stubborn!!!????
i love setting mini goals and working out time scales and weight losses... for example 8 weeks til Center Parcs, so at 2lb a week i could lose 16lbs taking me to exactly 10 stone!
i know 2lbs a week is not alot but at the rate i am currently losing weight it does not seem unreasonable :(
aaarrrrghhhh where are the bloody 10's...???
well if i got to 10 stone for Center Parcs then i only have to lose a few more lbs to get near to goal of 9,1 for Turkey. So not that bad and we can hope for more than 2lbs a week...
will i be 10,7 for april 30th???? doesnt seem likely at the mo does it! oh well keep drinking that water... and keep fingers crossed...

Saturday 12th April - Day 66
Ok so day 66... less than 3 weeks til i need to reach 1st goal of 10,7!
i am now 11,2 which is fab considering my 'day off'. Quite close to 11,1 too, like 0.25 of a lb away, so thats 3 stone mark!!!
am hoping to be in 10's for next weeks weigh in... into the 10's in week 10 has a nice ring to it!
yesterday was 3 weeks til wedding, 8 weeks til Center Parcs with girls and 12 weeks til Turkey.
those dates are just getting nearer and nearer and faster and faster!!!!!!
its midday and i have not even started drinking my water yet, oops. had my toffee and walnut with coffee for breakfast so maybe a hot choc mint for lunch. but must get some water down me first...
off shopping later, gonna have a look at dresses for the wedding on May 3rd. Would love to have hit my goal of 10,7 for this which i hope to do by 30th April. Wonder what size ill need? ive not really bought any new clothes since losing weight as i had so many which i couldnt wear due to weight gain... so its already like i have a whole new wardrobe and its much more satisfying putting on my jeans knowing that i didnt fit into them 4 weeks ago... yippee!
i look like ive lost weight from my waist upwards, but to me i look no different on the bottom. everyone is now saying that i look like ive lost loads of weight but i still dont really feel like it. of course i know i have as the scales say so, but in my head im still frumpy... :-(
off out tonight to see a band playing with the 'slim girl' who is coming in holiday, so this is a boost everytime i see her. she is my inspiration for losing before Turkey! no way am i going to look like a beached whale sitting next to a slim girl... not in a million...
i wonder if i would've lost the weight if we had'nt booked up to go on holiday with other couples!
in the past we have booked holidays ahead of time so i have a reason to lose weight... but guess what? i always end up heavier on holiday then i was when we booked it! too much pressure? or not enough? as this time i have done it, ive got more to go but at least im over half way now.
3 stone down and 2 to go... bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday 10th April - Day 64
Well yesterday took a nose dive shortly after writing my diary entry...
I had my morning shakes as usual. Then my cottage cheese and celery for lunch (it is aamw).
Then i wanted more... food that is!
So i had a bite of flapjack... and a boiled egg... then decided that i would eat a normal meal for tea in order to curb this food craving.
We had already been invited to mums for tea so i had a small helping of spaghetti bolognese and 3 potato wedges, with some salad. No dessert...
I knew that i would struggle with the aamw's. The 1st one in week 5 was a disaster, only had 2 aam's as i couldnt trust myself to stop at just a little... so didnt bother having the food after day 2.
This time (week 10) i was determined to do it properly BUT after my cottage cheese i just wanted to carry on eating...
I am back on track today, 2 shakes down and on my 3rd litre of water (its 2.10pm).
It is out of my system now and i am not going to do the rest of my aamw for fear of losing control big-time!!!
I did weigh myself and i was 11,4 but i am sure this is just water gain so ill not change my ticker... for now anyway!
So looking forward we need to lose 10lbs in 3 weeks to get to my first goal of 10,7 by 30th April. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Wednesday 9 April 2008
Wednesday 9th April - Day 63
Still 11,3!
Oh well thats 40lb lost and only 10lbs to go til my 1st goal...
Hopefully ill be in the 10's v.v.v.v.v.v soon and well on my way to a healthy BMI.
As i am only 5ft 2 i need to be in the 9's to have a BMI of 25 or under.
I really want to be as near to 10,7 as i can by 30th April. I was intending on going up to the next level to continue losing the last 20lbs to get to 9,1. That will make a grand total of 5 stone lost.
Have completed my forms to become a CDC so this is a fantastic opportunity to help keep me on track and continue until 9,1. I would normally give up and become complacent about 10 stone something (thats if i actually managed to get this low...).
This diary has also been a fab motivational tool and has given me a place to keep track of my daily/ weekly/ monthly losses. This is great to read back over and see how far ive come in such a short space of time.... i MUST remember that i have only been on this diet 9 weeks. That is not very long at all so i shouldnt expect to be stick-thin already!
I would like to continue SS'ing until BMI 25 but i am quite keen to get back to a certain degree of normality and be able to have a small evening meal. This is why i set my goal of 10,7 in 12 weeks... If i feel i can continue with SS beyond 12 weeks/ 30th April then of course i def do so.
It would be fab to get to 9,1 asap BUT i have another weekend at Center Parcs on June 6th with the girlies so i am going to eat for 4 days. I then have 4 weeks once back from CP to lose a few lbs before Turkey on 4th July - The BIG one... lol.
So lets break it down;
Current weight - 11,3
in 8 weeks til CP - 8 weeks from now to lose 21lbs to get well under 10 stone (9,10)?
in 12 weeks til Turkey - 4 weeks to lose another 9lbs to get to final goal 9,1?
So thats 12 weeks (with a weekend off for CP) to lose 30lbs to get to 9,1.
Thats an average of 2.5 a week from now until 4th July.
Oooh thats tight... Is it possible???? mmm better up the water intake and get to the swimming pool... Didnt think it would be so much per week!
I know 2.5lbs a week is not alot BUT with a planned weekend off and already an average of 3lb loss a week, it does seem tough. I am guessing that my losses will slow down to less than 3lb a week... yikes!
Oh well thats 40lb lost and only 10lbs to go til my 1st goal...
Hopefully ill be in the 10's v.v.v.v.v.v soon and well on my way to a healthy BMI.

Monday 7th April - Day 61
So we got back from Center Parcs this avo... I survived a weekend away with no cheating!
I took my smoothie maker and stuck to my soups and shakes. It was a miracle though, especially with all the yummy stuff my partner was eating... burgers, chips, scampi, sweets, cream cakes, fried breakfasts etc!
Weighed myself when we got back about 2pm (so not a real one as drunk water and not naked) and was 11,3.5. Hopefully this will still be 11,3 or better still 11,2 in the morning! I really wanted to see 11,1 very soon as this means 3 stone lost! woop woop...
Also saw my CDC this evening, lost 5lbs on her scales too. So 3lbs off 3 stone on hers. Picked up my application form to become a counsellor myself. I have completed them and will be posting tomorrow. So depending on when the next training session is it may not be long til i am someone else's CDC, yippeee!
I am no longer seeing my girlfriends on the 12th of April... Thankfully its been cancelled lol!!!
I really wanted to be in the 10's when i see them next on the 19th of April so im glad this is still the plan.
Cannot believe i am nearly in the 1o's, sooooo excited by this! Anyway ill do a proper post tomorrow when i have an accurate weigh in tomorrow morning... fingers crossed for 11,3 or less!

Thursday 3rd April - Day 57
Hip hip hooray, 11.5 today!
I seem to lose a lb every 3-4 days on average which is nice to know.
So 4lbs from the 3 stone mark, and only 6lbs until i say goodbye (forever) to the 11's, yay!
Off to Center Parcs tomorrow so hopefully shift 1/2 lbs this weekend by keeping active and busy busy busy... I shall not be taking my scales which is scary, i weigh myself daily! So i shall be weighing myself on Tuesday and hoping for 11,3. Fingers crossed!
I am taking my frothie maker, shakes & soups, coffee and sweeteners! So much for travelling light for a weekend away lol... We are staying in the hotel (as only me and my boyf) so have a kettle etc. Perfect for making my shakes and soups and keeping me on track! Lets hope so anyway...
So April 19th is one of my best girlfriends bday meal and i wanted to def be in 10's for this night... Now we are also invited round to hers on the 12th! aaaarrrggghhhh can i get into 10's a week earlier?????
A simple calculation... i have 9 days to go and 6lbs til i am well and truly in the 10's... thats 1lb off every 1.5 days!
Yikes... i need to do some serious exercise this weekend if i am to achieve this. My partner is very active and fit so i know he will be up for all sorts... tennis, badminton, walking, swimming, horse riding (trekking lol)! I will also try to fit in an aerobics class or 2. Oh and a spa day to sweat some fat out... yuk!
Oh well whatever i weigh on the 12th an 19th i will def look and feel better than i did at 14,2...
So this is my last post until after C.P, heres hoping for a good weigh in on Tuesday (unofficial w.i of course, Wed is official)...

Wednesday 2nd April - Day 56
:-( ggggggrrr and double ggrrrr still 11,6...
Nevermind, have decided to make a real effort with the water this week as i really dont want another 2lb loss next week.. cant have 3 of them in a row!
So 6lbs til the 10's... i dont want this to take another 3 weeks so some serious action needs to be taken! I am off to Center Parcs this friday so i am deffo gonna burn off lots of fat doing countless activities!!! Just got to stick to my packs whilst we are there... i will try soooo hard.
I have a new fave 'meal'. Toffee and walnut made up fairly weak with warm water and a tspn of coffee. Just like a latte!!! Very warm and comforting...
In fact i will have one in a min for breakfast.
Might take a lax later to see if i can move any blockages and help 11,5 on its way... I am not taking the fibre 89 anymore. Did'nt really feel like it was working for me. Senna does the trick once or twice a week.
So heres to next wednesday's weigh in... Can we get near to 11,1??? That will make 3 stone exactly and would be fan-dabby-dosey!

Tuesday 1st April - Day 55
Ok so i hit 11,6 (and 3/4) today... cant believe i am now nearer to the 10's than the 12's, no going back now!
In my targets i set a few weeks back i was meant to be 11,4 tomorrow (week 8 weigh in and day 1 of week 9) but this seems unlikely. If i am still 11,6 then thats ok but 11,5 would be fabby.
I have until 19th April to get into 10's for a friends bday meal, ive not seem my girlfriends since i was about 12,7 so this will be fab to be so near to goal. Especially as i am planning to have the 'night' off and this would be a great motivational tool... in the 10's and so close to goal so i wont want to mess it up by eating loads of carbs and drinking alcohol. I will be driving to the restaurant and behaving myself as far as the food is concerned!
So week 9 begins tomorrow... again where have the weeks gone! I cant get over how fast they go by. Although my partner and I were discussing this yesterday and he feels like ive been doing CD for years!!! I suppose it seems ages since i have eaten a proper meal or we have been out to a restaurant... But it has honestly gone so quickly for me.
I know if i had'nt started CD when i did then i would still be 13/14 stone something... I would have lost a few lbs then put the same lbs back on and this would have continued for the rest of 2008. Im sooooo glad i managed to get my head in the right place to commit to this diet, i feel millions better already and i still have 2 stone to go (1 stone to 1st goal).
Fingers crossed for 11,5 on scales tomorrow but i dont think its likely as i am only just on 11,6.
Oh well there is always Thursday or Friday...

I know if i had'nt started CD when i did then i would still be 13/14 stone something... I would have lost a few lbs then put the same lbs back on and this would have continued for the rest of 2008. Im sooooo glad i managed to get my head in the right place to commit to this diet, i feel millions better already and i still have 2 stone to go (1 stone to 1st goal).
Fingers crossed for 11,5 on scales tomorrow but i dont think its likely as i am only just on 11,6.
Oh well there is always Thursday or Friday...
