Erin's CD Diary

That is still an impressive weight loss

I know you wanted to lose a little more but it was always going to be hard as you had lost such a large amount the previous week.

If you add the 2 losses together that totals 11.5 pounds in 2 weeks which is only 2.5 pounds away from shifting 1 stone in 2 weeks........that is still pretty amazing isn't it.

Hopefully that will help to keep you on track

Unfortunately they don't always understand

I know mine doesn't - as far as he is concerned I have lost the bulk of the weight so why go back to SS but I keep explaining that I am not completely happy and just want to shift another few stone.

Fortunately he does support me but I know that he would also encourage me to fall of the wagon if I was having a bad day if you see what I mean so I don't tell him that I am having a bad day

How are things going this week?

Don't know whether to be disappointed or not. Had a half week weigh in tonight (normal weigh in is on sunday morning) to keep me on track and I lost 1/2 lb but CDC thought this was good as I normally get weighed in the morning and she reckons that I am probably down about anotehr 2lbs on top of this but I don't know *sigh*

I'm abit deflated now but will see on Sunday what my weight loss for the week is.

No I don't think you should be disappointed I think you are doing really well.

Your CDC is right.......when you get weighed in the morning you will be considerably less. Throughtout the day you have taken your shakes plus all that water and you will be surprised how much it weighs.

I tried an experiment once..........I placed a mug on the scales and then filled it with coffee and was surprised to see that it weighed a pound in weight. I weighed myself before and after drinking it and needless to say I was heavier the second time.

After that experiment I always made sure that I got weighed in the morning at roughly the same time and I also made sure that I consumed the same sort of quantity of fluid beforehand.

I love morning weigh ins as it does show better results, any loss is great and you should be proud of yourself

**Celtic Star** · 24-04-2009, 05:10 PM

Thanks girls, don't know what I would do without you all

Big test is tomorrow night I have an engagement party to go to so my plan is to a)drive so therefore I cannot drink and b) I'm bringing a bar with me so while everyone is having the buffet I won't feel left out and then I get weighed Sunday morning at 10am.

Hopefully I have shifted the 2lbs and will have lost my stone in 3 weeks keep your fingers crossed for me xx

How is it going Erin?

Are you ok?

Good luck with tomorrow's weigh in

Didin't get a chance to come on yesterday, as everything was quite hectic, anyway had a night out on saturday I offered to drive so there was no temptation to drink and I brought a bar with me to be on the safe side. Got weighed yesterday morning and lost 4.5lbs

So that's a total of 16lbs in 3 weeks

**RainbowMum** · 27-04-2009, 02:43 PM

Wow, well done you!

What do people say when you tell them why you're not eating the party food? I feel a bit shy about saying to other people - was hard enough to tell DH I wanted to do it!

I don't mention it, and if they ask I just say that I ate before I came out

I plan on having a wee cheat this saturday night some chicken and a few vodka & sodas as it's our wedding anniversary, but I won't overdue it. How long have you been doing CD for??

**RainbowMum** · 27-04-2009, 05:28 PM

So far so good - have a headache now - and just had 3rd shake Chocolate -was good, cappacino for lunch which was much nicer than I imagined, fruits of forest 1st thing which not so keen on!

Well done Erin

It certainly is worth going without food when you see these kinds of results isn't it?

Got weighed yesterday morning as well so that I could have a guilt free night out last night and I lost another 2.5lbs which I'm happy with that's a total of 1 stone 4.5lbs in 4 weeks.

**childmind04** · 03-05-2009, 08:35 PM

Well done Erin

**deeb66** · 04-05-2009, 07:43 AM

Thats brilliant Erin

I bet you feel so much better

Glad that you had a good anniversary......I know you came of plan a bit but by the sounds of it you were quite controlled so that was good. The food choice sounded really good so well done!

Make sure that you get straight back on the wagon and I am sure that it will have done you no harm whatsoever.

Have a good week
