Jamies Journey

Uh oh, think we may have lost him...that's a shame, he was doing so well too.
Julie

Remember your own words Jamie, "failure is not an option" so if you're struggling, get back on here and let us whip your *@! to get you back on track again!
Best wishes, Julie X

Hi Jamie, how did your weekend go with your cheeky chappy?
Hope it was a good one and recharged your energy and determination!
Julie X

Well done Jamie, blips are fine, it's what happens afterwards that's important - and remember, failure is not an option as you once said!
Keep up the good work then.
Hubbie is losing more slowly than we imagined, but doing well - he's lost a stone in just over 2 weeks which is exactly the same as I did. We're pleased with this, you can tell a difference already, and I'm impressed with the changes he's made so overall we are a pretty happy clan at the moment!

Lol thanks Julie, back on the wagon now, my weigh in day has changed to Monday.

Will post the results then, feeling lighter though which is good and resurrecting some of my old but nice clothes from the wardrobe

Yipee!

Omg Jamie that sounds fantastic and awful all at the same time!! Now wonder you weren't posting, you had far better offers lol!
I think my days of that sort of thing are (sadly) in the past now.....
I guess that was at least 3 of us feeling lousy with upset stomachs over the weekend then?.....
I think you win the prize for falling (temporarily of course) off the wagon in the most spectacular style!
Glad you are back on board, hope it's not been too painful, good luck with the weigh-in this week!
Julie X

Well i went out on the razz friday afternoon, silly silly me, booze and vlcd doesnt go and i had skinful boy did i feel it the next day especially when i had to get a train to Margate at 5.45 am the next day and then come back from there the same day!

Jesus it was hell! So ill!

Anyway I am back on plan.

Hope you are all well and good!

Hi Jamie, not been around much over the weekend and I see you haven't either - how's it going?
Hope you're OK?
Julie X

Hi you two
Michelle yes, it does slow down, but stick to it and you will see a steady loss which I still think is far greater than any other way I've tried to lose weight!
FYI my weekls losses have been 9.5, 4.25, 2.5, 3, 3, 3.75, 3.25, 2.25, 5.5, 3, 3, 2, 3 and so far I've lost almost 3lbs this week too (with 4 days to go, hoorah!!)
IKWYM Jamie, some weeks seem so slow then other weeks take you by surprise...like this week for example!
Had some friends over tonight and they absolutely couldn't belive the difference in me now! They said I look slimmer every time they see me!
Good luck guys!
Julie X

Hiya I am 3 weeks in to Protikee, well done on your 16lb loss that is great. There seems to be a pattern on VLCD you seem to loose more one wek then less the next then more one week then less the next if that makes sense.

How many weeks are you in Jamie?
I've lost 16lbs in 3 weeks and cant imagine I'll get my 3 stones in 12 weeks,surely it will slow down some time soon.

Michelle

Many thanks to you all.

Keep going Jamie - it's always great when people notice but that doesn't even compare to how great it feels when you start to notice yourself

That's absolutely fantastic Jamie, well done you! Pleased for you
Yes I thought your tracker was a bit off...it can be a bit confusing, but being obsessive I always keep a written note too so I just transfer it from there.....
Anyway keep up the good work, you are doing so well now!

Jamie...sorry if TMI but I happened to watch 'embarrassing bodies tonight', a girl had a breast reduction and the fat they removed was 3lbs...quite gross but it really made me realise the volume of what we are shifting from our bodies with this diet! No wonder we are all going down the clothes sizes!!
Have a good weekend
Julie X

Well done, 3lbs is fab

Thanks Ladies, Yes it be great to hear who your hubby is getting on.

Jamie well done, I am pleased for you. 3lbs is great - remember what you said about what this looks like?? That means you're almost at your stone mark (for this diet) and a lot more than that from when you first started Atkins! That's amazing!
Stick in there, it will stay steady and you are well on the way now!!
Also you are a great encourager for others so I'm glad you're sticking around!
Hubbie is doing well btw, he's done 4 days now and seems to be coping OK. I'll let you know what he's lost when he weighs in on Monday (forums are not really his thing)
Julie X

3lbs is fab hun, well done!

Oh chinese, I miss it so much!!!! Well done for staying strong x

I am pleased but obviously would have been happier with more, I supppose my body is finally adjusting and the rate of loss will slow down.

I did have craving for a chinky last night but I remembered why I am here in the first place and feel ok this morning!

Thanks ladies, Katy you could go out and sell this product try door to door seriously as you could be the ideal sales person, you would be a great testimonial to it.

When i get to my target weight its something i will consider

Well done you, you'll be wasting away at this rate!

Oh and yes i have recommended to about 12 people, 4 of which have actually started so if anyone from Kee is watching can I have some sort of commission please, this just wont do?!!!

Katy x

Now THAT ticker looks even more encouraging Jamie - well done!
I found that people really started noticing around the 1.5 - 2 stone mark, it gives you a real boost doesn't it? (And if you're like Katie you recruit them to the diet too lol!)
Keep it up then, stay strong, no caving in this time!
Julie X

Well done Jamie. It really keeps me going reading all these positive postings.



Margaret.

Wow Jamie, well done!!!

Wish us girls lost at the same rate as you fellas!

Hi Julie

Yes you are right and have adjusted the tracker, It should read right now, hopefully!

I am feeling in real good form at the moment.

Someone commented today on how much better I look so that gave me a boost.

Yes Atkins was dead easy i lost a stone or so but then I completely stalled and lost nothing so I went down to Zero carbs for a few weeks and still no movement? Well weird.... I was a bit worried about as I thought my metabolism might be fooked!

X

That's a fab start Jamie well done! (Isn't it a bit more than 8lbs if you started at over 20 stones btw?)
I see you already did well and lost loads on the Atkins diet, I know nothing about that one apart from what I heard in the press, how do the two compare?
Keep it up now, you've done the hardest bit, now stick to your routine and watch those scales go down, down, down!
Julie X

Morning all, I am now down to 19.4 st = 271.6 lb, I am happy with my loss its about 8lbs odd!

Woo Hoo!

...So how did the weigh-in go Jamie? Everything crossed for you for a great start.....
Stick in there, after procrastinating for 12 weeks (since I started) my hubbie has finally committed to starting this diet next Monday, so I'm sure you will be an inspiration to him with being a couple of weeks ahead.
Good luck
Julie X

about 4 -5 stone, plenty lol

lots!!!

thats me almost at 14st now so at least another 3.5st to go....think im gona take it at half stone markers less daunting that way, what about u?

Hey Annabelle, Congratulations

Thats a terrific loss, how much have you to loose in total?

Hiya Jamie

Iv just had my first week's weigh in and lost 8.5lbs so it definitely works!! Good luck!

I am on day 5 of TFRP and feel great, my hunger issues have gone, just mental hunger i think.

I am feeling slimmer and will jump on the scales in 2 days time and advise you of my loss!
