Guess what another 2lb gone this morning ;D My bum has disappeared now to. Just can't believe how good this diet is. I fully enjoyed my lunch yesterday, and then substituted the beef franks for the other half of my chicken breast for dinner. Am building up quite a taste for ice cream and fruit Haven't felt deprived of anything and the only thing I have craved is a cream egg, because there are so many of them staring at me when I open the fridge. My concentraition is up as well. We have a mini game on the DS where you have to find a particular face in a crowd (bit like the wheres wally books) but this is just faces and sometimes they move. You get extra time for each one you get. My top scare was 19 and that was a struggle, Steve yesterday made the mistake of telling me he had beaten my top score and got to 20. I had a quick go and now stand a proud top of the leaderboard with 113 Don't know how I did that. I'm onto brain training this afternoon. Anyway lots to do today and not had breafast yet, don't feel hungry.

Bit down this afternoon. Started my period this morning, so not pregnant after all, and I was so sure This diet must be helping me though, because physically I feel better and my general mood is up alot especially concidering I have taken no meds for 11 days (thinking I was pregnant). I think I would have normally just slumped into a pile of tears. But I feel as though I've been given a second chance, time to prepare properly, if you like. I will keep up with the weight loss program, to get down to a sensible weight and think I might try and stay off the anti Ds for a while to. See how I cope. Steve was a bit down with the news to. So we will be having a talk tonight about when to try for a baby. Diet still going strong, only 1 meal left to go and thats it. Total weight loss to be reported tomorrow.

14st 9lb this morning so thats a total of 5lb lost in 3 days not bad. I am also very bloated this morning due to my P very very heavy, got lots of washing to do because of it already. So once that calmes down hopefully that will be another lb or 2 gone. Generally feeling very yucky today, still down from my fairytail family thing, now its not a reality I don't know what to do. Shall I settle for what I've got or do I try and extend the family as I orgininally wanted? Not so long ago I was revelling in having a bit of time to myself when the kids went to school and could actually see my life getting easier as they grew. But part of me feels I am better equiped and experienced this time and that I could really do this Mum thing rather well even with another one. Also got to decide what to do about contraception. Don't really want to go back on the pill, have been feeling better without it and there is no way on earth I'm having a coil. Perhaps when hubby is feeling better we might be able to talk about it. Anyway don't really feel like typing right now and got loads to do.

Still down today. I haven't restarted my meds yet. Not sure I want to . It all goes back to the pill thing. I've been taking the pill since I was 14 (due to a hormone inbalance) used to have extra norathistorne as well. I remember my doc saying that once I had kids there was a chance my hormones would rebalance and I wouldn't need it for this anymore. She was right with that. I used to have tremondous P pains and got totally loopy when I was on. Now I just get a few yucky aches and get a bit down. But to be fair its nothing major, just sort of feel sory for myself for a few days thats all. It's probably all that wrong with me now. Thing is my body had been pumped full of hormones for 14 years now (half my life). When I was eating better with the diet I felt alot healthier, happier and full of energy. Thats all gone now (hopfully just due to my Period). think I will ride it out for another week, then see how I am. At least I know Steve is keeping an eye on me, so if he thinks I need them he will say. Still got loads to do, kids are getting restless now, NEED to go back to school, got til Tuesday for Jay and Wednesday for Joey. Thats AGES away.

Hi
I just wanted to say about back to school etc. - I am SO looking forward to some normality and routine.
Your diet sounds really effective. Late 20s I went on an egg and grapefruit diet - very good for losing a stone in a week but not healthy I guess!! I am on weight watchers now - overall in 12 months I have dropped a stone and now I am stuck. More exercise I think?
Hope your day is okx
Love Hopefulxxx

Hi
Super pat on the back re: diet. Glad it's given you a boost. Sorry you're a bit down at the moment. PMT sucks but it shouldn't last. It is hard with kids at home - they seemt o need entertaining or I feel they need entertaining and that can be so hard when you dont' feel up to it. Only a few days left to go.....
Take care
Monica

Feeling a bit better today. Thanks for the support everyone. Hopeful if I thought I could so much as look at a grapefruit again I would ask you about that diet, but the thought of having to eat another one is not a pleasant one (to be polite). If you have hit a dead end perhaps you should try the 3 day one to help kick start your weight loss again. Yoyo put the link in this thread on page 3. On the diet front, I think I'm taking the 'nornal days' a bit too normal, gone back to picking again. I have one more day to do then back on the diet again, think I need it. must try and make up a few menus or likewise for my 'days off'. Generally, still off the meds, feeling a bit uppy downy but not too bad and think alot of it was to do with my period. Have got a docs appointment in 2 weeks time. I am planning on staying off the meds til then, see how I go then perhaps asking if there is something I could take just as and when I need it. Steve commented that he had seen the 'real me' over the last week. That made me feel ALOT better, apparently my sense of humour is coming back. Thats not all, since stopping all my medication my sex drive has gone through the roof, never thought I would see the day Steve begged me with the 'not tonight please not tonight I can't take it anymore' line. OK so its not been quite like that but he has admitted to being stretched to his limit Poor sod if he was his normal self he would be reveling in it. Got my extended fence up on one side today ;D ;D ;D I'll put a stop to the little sod next door upsetting me and my kids. All I need now is a nice bushy, instant growing plant to cover it all. Suppose I'll have to settle for sweet peas been as its all I've got for now. The garden is coming along quite well really, I have put the gazebo up on the patio next to the kids playhouse. We now have a sort of conservatory type thing. Once the other fence is done and the plants start to grow it will be really nice out there. Just need to clear up the dumping corner and re-cement it, oh yeah and about a ton of grass seed on our bald lawn. Done my classic again though. Started on a new project before finishing the last one, we are still sleeping in the living room, and the kids have a bedroom and a playroom, where I haven't cleared everything out yet to paint and turn it into our room. oops. But really truly I had to get something done about the fence before I did something I'd regret. That kid has been upsetting me for 3 years now and we have NO privacy at all. Really do feel it takes the piss somewhat when the neighbours kid can see all the way through your bedroom, along the hall way and into your bathroom. I get questioned every time I go for a wee . OK calm down, you've done your bit now. Jay back at school tomorrow and Steve's day off. Mum is having both of the kids for a bit in the afternoon so hopefully we can get something done together, maybe finish off one side of the garden.

Ohhh spoilsport. Doesn't look like he's up to it anyway. Looks like it'll have to be the fence.

No not quite Started my diet again today. The five days off went a bit haywire and I ended up putting 4 of the 5lbs back on opps. Going to write myself out a plan this time. Will follow the diet for 3 days then write my own diet for 4 days based along the same sorts of foods and slightly larger quanity. I also walked back from the kids school today and then back to collect them. Hard work, I'm not a walker. Mood's not too bad today. Just couldn't be bothered yesterday, still got loads to do. Think it will always be like this Hopefully the diet will kick in later today and I will get all the energy back that I had last time.
