Re: Who want's to lose 10-15lbs by christmas??

hey Boonie Stomper,

Well done - the clothing successes tell the real story! Well done! I love swishing around in my baggy trousers and grabbing the loose fabric and having to wear a belt


I must admit I deliberately cheated appaulling yesterday. I had been really good the last few months (very minor often accidental cheats only) and my weight had gone up despite all the exercise. I had a party to go to so I thought I'd have the evening off and then afterwards I went and bough a muffin, some cookies and a Snickers, and crisps and dip and ate them all! (BF ate most of crisps and dip). I was really feeling like I needed to eat what I felt like I was missing and then get back on track. Also I felt pretty rough - it's like aversion therapy. Anyway, not proud of myself but I'm back to it this morning feeling like I can be committed again.

I know a lot of people wouldn't see this as a good idea, but I think a massive cheat every 2 or 3 months keeps me sane, and so far it never goes beyond one 'meal'.

Also, like you said Boonie, I was thinking of going into induction again to cope with Xmas. Not sure though...needs pondering.

I was at the weight in my signature last weekend, but gained 2lbs by Wednesday and I don't even want to know about today. I think I'll keep off the scale until Sunday.

How's everyone else?

I am hanging in there, not weighing yet but definately not seeing anything loosening up.
Great job on all your recent progress Boonie! Baarb hope you see a loss on Sunday when you bring back your scale.

Hey Atkid,

I didn't see a loss I saw a gain. Am back to 184 now (closely monitoring due to absurdly strong scale addiction *sigh*). I'm relived but I'm away with old friends this weekend I I know that it will be majorly hard not to cheat. So likely I'll gain again. Very frustrating! I'm kind of thinking 'what the hey' until Xmas is over...anyone else feeling like this?

Yep... Last incident for me was the remains of a pot roast. DS did'nt go for it after the 1st night, so I took out & tossed most of the potatoes - but some were disintegrated in the broth. I hesitated when I started eating it, because of remaining potato, and thought 'what the hey' and ate it anyway. Now on retroflection, I'd have liked it better without any potato!

Fortunately it wasn't a lot of potato in there, but noe I'm on alert for the 'what the hey' syndrome! It has to be a seasonal bug!!

Hey Boonie,

You are so right - my diet is deteriating at a very fast pace. Rubbish! I don't think there's any way I'll be at 181 by Xmas day. Grr.

Need an injection of motivation (i.e. a kick in the arse).

Ah well, back to it. Good luck grappling with the seasonal bug

I need a good spanking ASAP - No I didn't cheat. YET...

Today I got to see 172 on the scale (well, needle was a wobbling 172-173) but put that, the fact that it's a 50 lb lost milestone and the memories of past Xmas lunches at the same place being so extravagant & scrumptuous together, and I'm feeling very weak right now.

It must be a case of "what the hey"!!! -But I strongy feel the desire to cheat at this meal, and have everything the boss has provided for the occasion (in other words the whole $40/person meal alottment - he probably skimped on annual raises, LOL) - I need BEFORE I do it - I'm fighting the urge, but some extra has to help. I'm chugging water, too.

Just say "NO"! And whoo hoo congrats on that 50! Don't give it and bring it back to 48 and a two day wait to get back in ketosis. Its so not worth it!

That is a bummer, I am afraid of weighing in again, afraid of a gain myself.

Well I didn't make a 10-15 lbs. loss but I did make it back on track, so guess its time to move over to the Memorial day challenge. Congrats to any of you who showed a significant loss!
