OMG rainbow Brits I remember you! I can't believe you still have that?!!!!!! AMAZING!!!! That's cheered me up so much THANKYOU!!!
I remember there was another blinkie 'it's so cold in ketosis land'. I'm not cold as such but I'm having to wear pajamas in bed when I'm normally in the nuddy pants.
Day 10 today. I had a bad day yesterday and had a very small amount of cheese as I felt poorly. But today I'm absolutely fine. I've sorted out all the packs from the back of our cupboard under the stairs in a big cardboard box to one of our kitchen cupboards. I feel psychologically that's a good thing to do, instead of hiding the diet packs I'm making it part of normality by giving it place in our kitchen. Although I'm annoyed as I've found 20 choc Orange bars that were out of date in May. We probably should eat them but they taste minging when they're out of date
Do you guys exercise? I'm not at the moment but I would like to at some point. I watched this great video on YouTube called 23 and a half hours, I recommend it!

I don't exercise at the moment but making a point of walking to the shops instead of taking to the car. Not sure if that counts.
I'm away to check out that video.

Urgh rubbish day. It was a good exante day in that I was 100% and have had 3 litres of water but I've had the worst migraine ever and feel so nauseous

I feel a little bit better but the migraine still hasn't gone completely and my throat is covered in ulcers. I normally get tonsillitis on this diet but had my tonsils removed 18 months ago. I feel very sorry for myself today!!!!
But luckily exante wise still feel completely focused. Day 12 today! DH looks amazing already the lucky sod, he always does so much better than me.
Day 12 of 110 days before I weigh in!

Sorry to hear that your throat is covered in ulcers. That sounds really painful so I'm not surprised you feel sorry for yourself. I think you are entitled!
Hooray for getting to day 12. I'm sure there's a 100 day chart somewhere that cat posted which you could tick off. I have one and I enjoy scoring out the days.

I've weighed in today.
DH has been nagging to weigh in.
We we're in IKEA and found a pair of working scales.
So it turns out the weight I though I was... I needed to add nearly 2 stones on to that probably.
And I'm also 2 stones heavier than DH.
I'm so ashamed to say I am 17st 5lbs today. So I was probably 18st 5lbs to start with.
I can't believe I've let myself get that big. I'm gobsmacked. The heaviest I have ever been before this was 16stone.
I'm heartbroken over this. But it was the right thing to do. Because I would have weighed in on Xmas day expecting to see 12.5 stone and I would have seen 14.5 stone and I would have been devastated. So the devestation has just been brought forward. Now I can accept it and move onwards and downwards.
I'm not going to let this get me down at all. I'm going to feel upset tonight but I shall allow myself to feel upset and then wake up tomorrow and move on.
I can see some improvements anyway. My jeans are comfier, the t shirt I'm wearing fits me better, I'm not lumbering around the way I was.
*sighs* this is so hard.

Oh Paesh. I'm so sorry for everything you are going through today. But you will never be this weight again, even by tomorrow you will weigh a little less. At Christmas time you are going to be in jeans around about 4 sizes smaller than you are in today, This is totally achievable. It has been a difficult day for you and your gut feel to not weigh in was for a reason. Let's walk hand in hand together to get healthy and leaner and learn how to control our bad habits x

Actually it's worse, I was 17st 7lbs.
I've been out to buy a pair of scales. I'll weigh in again on thurs and go from there.

That's a good idea. Same place, same time, without clothes in the morning. Jeans weigh a lot!

Paesh it doesn't matter what you weigh, what matters is you're doing something about it. Keep it up!

No I know that. I'm not going to let it stop me. Im going to keep going. Nothing is going to stop me now with this. I am going to do this until I hit 11 stones. So I've got 7-7.5 months to go. That's no time at all. Then I'll lose the last stone by being healthy. It's going to be hard though because DH will only be on it for another 3 months I think and i'll have to go it alone for 4 months.
All sort of thoughts have been racing through my mind tonight though. How ashamed I am. How can my DH fancy me being this big, what people must think of me in work.
Thank goodness I have therapy on Thursday to talk this through.

I weighed myself this morning and I was 17st 3.75lbs so unless I've dropped 3lbs overnight I think those IKEA scales were wrong.
Nonetheless, still not a great number but I'm feeling better about it today and actually daily weighing in will be motivating for me and I've got more accountability now.
It wouldn't be so bad if DH wasn't 2st lighter than me. That I'm struggling to get my head around.
Official weigh in is tomorrow and then I will go from there from the September challenge. If it is 17.3 then I would like to see 16.5-16.7 by October 1st.
