Am off on my road trip tomorrow, so will check in when I get back...am hoping desperately to maintain, but I won't be surprised at a little gain, and am gonna do my best!!
PS Stef, hope all ok with you, you've gone off the radar a bit???? hope it its just internet problems again?
hiya, weigh in day not til tomorrow but wondered something,
im cutting out alot carbs ..trying to stick to the under 20g but with that comes low fat and low cals too im talking about less than 1100 cals a day with exercise on top im not having much.
BUT...my question is...im not holding back as in not allowing myself stuff im still having a couple of cups of tea,a few glasses of wine on the weekend some choc..etc...all in very small treat size amounts still keeping carbs and cals low...but im finding that although my cals and fat etc are low, im not hungry....should i be considering that its so low? im worried im gonna hurt myself but im simply not hungry once ive had my breakfast lunch and tea...
Hi Touchmytoes,
I think if you aren't hungry with it, then it is a good thing...you may in fact be going in to ketosis, if your carbs are really low, and this does suppress your appetite!
I don't think that if you are taking in 1'100 calories that you are in any danger of doing damage!
have been doing about 12-16 k a day on the bike in the gym, but although im seeing my size slim down im not seeing the old bum firm up..anyone got any good ideas to firm up the bum? 15-20 running? half our on the cross trainer?
Thanks Nicci - really need to lose a few more lb before going on holiday so really need to be able to exercise again. Am just under 17 stones and don't want to come back over 17 stones!
im still here...BUT im not weighing in today, its the last day of term and so im eating tonight and will do something about it for the next 6 weeks...
woop woop
I'm here Don't know when I will be weighing in next. My daughter has been diagnosed with swine flu and we have no scales ( I use my parents' scales) so unless I get chance to walk there may be over a week until I weigh myself again. TOM at the moment so maybe better I don't weight myself anyway.
We're going on holiday in 3 weeks - I'm 16 st 7 now and don't want to come back from holiday anywhere near 17stone - I want to be well away from that weight forever so making every effort to lose well the next 3 weeks
Stayed the same, maybe due to TOM I can't see any other reason. Still frustrated though - unrealistically hoped to get to 16 stones before our holiday, was looking possible now I don't think it is. Never mind, only 1lb until mini goal - surely I can manage that by next week.
you all on. If there's another similar challenge after this one could I join in please.
Sure I won't make my goal this time....still not well and feel dizzy so can't exercise.
Hope you feel better soon.
