Cheat Your Way Thin diet ~ **guide available to download in post #45**

[~*Kathy*~]

haha thanks Lisa! Yeah, October has been a mess for me, foodwise...I can relate! Anyway, all that matters is that you're hopping back on. I was thinking about doing the priming phase again but I realized last night that I just don't think I have the willpower to do that...again! lol But kudos to you for trying to! And 4 lbs isn't too shabby at all, once you're back on it will fall of anyway, it's probably just water retention I think.

[~*Lisa*~]

yeah, i think most of my fat is water retention - yeah, i like that idea!! lol

 

it's gonna be difficult to get back on track, although I haven't totally fallen off as I still eat my breakfast and lunch like I should, it's the dinner and snacks that are the problem right now!

[~*Kathy*~]

that was my problem too...breakfast and lunches were as they should be but I would just get lazy by supper time and go to McD's or whatever haha.

[~*Lisa*~]

it's weird how you can do SO amazing for awhile and then all of a sudden don't give a rat's a$$ about it! I wonder why this happens, I hate it!

[~*Kathy*~]

haha, I don't know...that happens to me all the time though! I'll be really good for a long time, then fall off for a week or two, then get back on. It's weird! Though I must admit I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this

[~*Lisa*~]

I sure am glad to hear that I'm not the only one also. Is your hubby still following or did he give up?

[~*Kathy*~]

he fell off the wagon with me for the two weeks and now he's back on again, though he says that it's hard for him to be back on it lol. Is your FI doing it with you still?

[~*Lisa*~]

oh yeah, he's still off the wagon, just like I am! lol Like I said, we support each other and I honestly can't do it without him SO we're back on starting sunday. which when you think about it, it'll give us 2 cheat days in a row, woo hoo!!!!!!!

Hey ladies. Sorry I disappeared for awhile. DH and I were doing well for a few weeks, then we both looked at each other one day and said this isn't the plan for us. It just wasn't sustainable for us. So we're joining Weight Watchers on Saturday because that really seems to be the only thing that works for us. I wish I could do the plan on my own, but there is something to be said about those meetings working. Anyway, I just wanted to give you the update. Good luck Kathy and Lisa (and anyone else still chugging along)!

[~*Lisa*~]

Thanks for the update Kristy and I wish you all the best of luck on WW. The first time I followed WW, I lost 75lbs so it's def. a great plan. For some reason though now, my mind doesn't do well with the WW so that's why I thought that I would try something different.

 

FI and I are back on track as of yesterday. We're working on the 3 week priming phase again. I know it's going to be hard, but I REALLY want to lose 20 lbs before the wedding, which is only 2 months away now. I don't know if I can do it, but it'll be close! We had a really rough month, with packing, moving, living in 3 places, it was nutso but we're FINALLY into the new house and into a normal routine.

 

Sunday was a cheat day, which was great because it was the day after Halloween and we had a bunch of candy left over. I did well yesterday until after dinner when I needed a hot chocolate. I got sick this weekend and I just needed something to try and make this stuffy nose go away. I don't do coffee or tea and hot water seemed boring to me, so HC it was! I don't consider it to be really cheating, just a little cheating. Anyway, today is better and I am sticking to this all week for sure.

 

Just writting all this out helps me with this so I apologize now for the novels that I may be writting in the future! lol

 

I hope that you're still doing well Kathy!
