I dont no if im in ketosis??? i don't feel much hunger and my breath is rather stinky! is this it?! x

Thanks Rachel, you can do it, although dont expect much of loss next week as your body normally has to adjust after losing so much, although it is mainly water!

If you arent hungry and have stinky breath, yes you must be in ketosis.... the bad breath will subside soon, or just use a mint breath spray but dont use chewing gum!!

On Day 6 now, in ketosis now as I am not hungry in the slightest, it has been so much easier to get started this time, it was a good idea to start on a Saturday so I could laze for 2 days... Very Happy

Had a sneaky weigh in lost 7lbs so far *yippppeeeee* cheers

Hope you guys are doing ok x x

day 3, sound's like your doing well.
im now at the end of day 2, havent even had the urge to cheat, so far so good!! ive drank 3.5ltrs of water and could carry on but im goning to have to stop, ive never seen the toilet so much!!

my order comes tomorrow so im starting with the bar's, ive only tried mushroom soup and choc milkshake so far.
have you tasted any nice flavours?!
good luckfor day 4 xx

No worries Rachel, it is also fairly safe to do as long as you are healthy, some people (i.e. my sister who is a personal trainer & never been fat in her whole life!) really frown on me doing this diet but it is the ONLY diet that has worked for me Smile

Well done hun, once you get to Day 4 it is plan sailing.... I reckon I am in ketosis now as I am getting the smelly breath and I am not at all hungry which is fab!! cheers

I tend to go through phases of what I like, I have totally gone off the soups at the moment, the smell made me feel sick as I think I had them too often. I tend to stick to the choc/strawberry/banana milkshakes and I love most of the bars, apple crumble/choc crunch/lemon crunch are probably my favourites Smile

The apple & cinnamon porridge is nice too but apparently it is a acquired taste as it is a bit of an old consistancy....

Day 3,

Feeling good, planned it well this time by starting on a Saturday so I could do nothing but lie down and rest/relax Smile

Here's to a good loss Smile

I spoke to someone the other day and im on etiquette 1, shake for breki, soup for dinner, small tuna salad for tea and bar late evening, is anyone else on this?!

Hi Rachel,

No worries all all, glad I can help Smile

I am on Day 3 now, feeling ok, chugging back the water to keep my hunger at bay....

Basically ketosis is the fat burning process that begins in days 4-5 after following a low carb diet which the Kee Diet is Smile

You will get smelly breathe and not be hungry anymore...

http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/faq/f/whatisketosis.htm

I am Etiquette One too, so i too have 3 packs a day with a small white & green meal...

If you need anymore info, let me know Smile

Keep it up, the first week is the worst, but the results are fantastic cheers

Going to try and get my back moving in the morning and take the horse out for a short ride. Will do us both good to get out together. So will check on here when I get back to see how you're doing.

I am on Day 3 and I am feeling really well, which I didnt expect, although I have spent the weekend doing nothing (which I planned) as from previous experience have felt like death the first few days....

I agree it is harder the 2nd, 3rd etc time round but just hang in there.... it will all be worth it! Smile

Keep going hun x x

Thanks ladies, I was a very naughty girl on Saturday, I bought lots of naughty food (I wont mention what as I dont want to make you crave them) & ate the lot! I felt so sick afterwards, I know why I did it....

I just needed to eat normal food, only put about 2lbs on so I will draw a line & I am being super good this week, even I have my bad days.... x x

by triphazard99 Tue Aug 24, 2010 1:39 am

Good going - any other totm, and we'd be anticipating a couple of pounds going ON, so a pound off shows you're right on track. Well done!

by marionlake1982 Mon Aug 23, 2010 10:14 pm

hi sarah well a lb is a lb and it all adds up plus totm makes a huge difference. so well done xx

by sazabaza Sat Aug 21, 2010 8:05 pm

Morning all,

I have lost a pound this week, been quite busy so maybe not had enough water and it was TOTM!! Sad

I know the small loss was due to TOTM so I am ok with that Smile

Saw some old work mates last night & they kept on saying how good I looked which was a great confidence booster!

So onwards & upwards.... hope everyone is doing ok x x x x

Thanks hun, up until Thursday I didn't feel I was having a good week as I had only lost a pound mid week (I know I shouldn't keep weighing myself) so I was pleasantly surprised when I lost 5lbs this week Smile

Already had loads of water this morning, gonna plant myself on the sofa now for a while...

Hope your doing well too x x

Morning all,

What a miserable day outside.... I have also woken up with a cold Sad

but on a good note I now weigh 12 stone 8lbs so lost 5lbs this week, thank god for that.... I thought I was going through a phase of losing a pound a week!!

I bought myself a lovely military style jacket and some fab shirts from H&M yesterday all in size 14 which I am well chuffed about cheers

Right gonna veg now & watch a film with my porridge cookies and a cuppa as I feel a bit rubbish to be honest... x x x x

Well done, the same keeps happening to me I have a few really good weeks then have a week of virtually no loss at all. Doesn't seem fair really as i'm not cheating either! But I am finding that in the weeks I dont really lose much i'm definatly getting smaller as I can tell by the way my clothes fit. So I think your right about the body 'readjusting'.

I'm also trying to get under the next stone mark this week. Hope to be nine stone something at my next weigh in on Tuesday!

Stick with it Beth xxx

Thanks Beth, at least I am not the only one that this happens to... and yes I have noticed a difference in my clothes!! Smile

Morning all,

I have only lost a pound this week, not quite sure what happened to my body but it appears to have held onto the weight hence only losing a pound, I haven't cheated either.... maybe not enough water drank or it is just my body adjusting itself!!

But at least I am 12 stone 13lbs now so into the 12 stone's as I wanted *yay* cheers

Hope everyone is doing ok x x

It happens to me too - you're within touching distance of moving from 14 something to 13 something, or 13 something to 12 something (soon, please!!!) and everything grinds to a halt? It must be psychological, but I do know that for me it is always the toughest week or two to get past that hurdle! When I re-read and saw that you were bang on 13, it suddenly rang a lot of bells for me! I bet it makes no biological sense whatsoever - but I know I'm not the only one who suddenly battles to get down to the next stone range!

Yes it is hard when there are everyday things like vending machines, I can totally agree with this feeling, I did a first aid course a month back and everyone was at the chocolate bars and fizzy pop vending machines (which I love, chocolate that is) and I sat with my cup of water and my meal bar!

But we can get through this, just visualise yourself at your goal weight and you will get there....

I am really finding it hard to not to concentrate on getting past the 13 stone mark, I just really need to be 12 stone something, although I dont know why i am torturing myself by wanting this....

Well done on avoiding the cakes - we are only human, and there will always be tough moments like this! At my evening job there are vending machines all over the canteen - and tho I'm not normally one for chocolate - I see them all lined up there begging to be purchased, and it's a nightmare! The drinks machines are even worse.. I do miss pepsi, and after a hot shift it's really tough to just hit the water cooler instead! I just have to do it one day at a time (sounds like an AA meeting), but I know how much of a struggle it can be. At the moment I've got past the hunger thing and am still on enough of a high (yay, weight loss!) to pull me through, but I know from past experience that once I've lost a good amount of weight, the resolve starts to weaken - and that's where it went to pot for me last time - one party, and I had no motivation left at all. That's where you ARE such an inspiration - you got back on track again - be proud of yourself - the end is in sight, and I bet you're already looking pretty fabulous!

Thank you hun, your kind words have made me feel alot better.... Wink

I am glad I can be an inspiration to you as I dont like I am alot of the time, today I feel quite down today as at work there are loads of cakes in the kitchen, I suppose it is only human to want to eat one but I have been angelic and not touched a single one!!
