Monday - Thursday Detox Crew!!!! :o)

Good morning everyone!!! :bigsmile:

Well I began my detox today despite having no suitable fresh fruit in for breakfast this morning!!
Now I have started I feel fine, but this morning when I realised I couldn't have my cereal I was a bit sad.
But then I remembered that we're doing this as a team and I of all people should be able to follow this perfectly every time!!!

I hope everyone is doing ok? :flowerforyou:

I weighed in this morning at 110.6lbs - (7stone 12.6lbs) Ticker has been reset!!! :huh:
I'm not that unhappy about this weight actually, I have been following a 'fat burning' list I wrote out about a month ago and it seems to have kept my weight pretty stable, I feel like I've stayed the same weight, my clothes feel the same and I'm the same weight, well +0.2lbs, as I was a month ago when I last updated my ticker so I think it has worked pretty well even though I've also had some naughty days and treats too. :noway:

I am planning on detoxing for these four days then going back to the fat burning list, and only eating what's listed, also all detox foods and ways of eating are allowed. I think this will help me maintain my weight loss and it also is a big help with controlling the cravings that I suffer with.
If anyone would like a copy of my fat burning list then just let me know and I'll send it to you, with the rules to following it.
Might be useful to you too. :happy:

Today I feel quite tired :yawn:
We had a chinese take away last night, was really nice!! But naughty, today I will have to watch Jack eating the left overs for dinner, at his request, while I have my chicken salad!!! :sad:
Still it will all be worth it in the end.

I'm going to have a sort through my wardrobe and pull out some of the amazing clothes that are just that little bit too snug to wear right now, I know if I get to my target weight then maintain I will fit in these perfectly and will be very happy with my body.
I'm not far from it now but those last few pounds are always the hardest to get off and keep off!!!
I hope these gorgeous clothes will be motivation for me, I am so close but just need to do that last push to get there for summer!!! I wanna be wearing shorts this summer and leggings in the autumn so I need to stop messing around and eating biscuits!!! :grumble:

Well I can't wait to hear how your all doing, keep us posted of cravings, feelings, grumbles, exercise, things you miss and anything else going on in your lives this week!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE :drinker:

Great job xxx

Keep up the good work :drinker:

Hi guys, so today was my first detox day, and went pretty fine I think!! However I always change or add a few other things, for example, I eat any king of fruit in my breakfast, and I don't eat fruit with lunch or dinner, I take an apple in my afternoon snack instead because I'm hungry during the afternoon and this trick makes me stick to it much better. I also add 1 square of dark chocolate, why? I know it's not very clean, but I just need it, and I prefer to eat just 1 square instead of having other sweets and bad stuffs....

I exercised a lot today and It was hard not to overeat because I was hungry!!, so I think I did it fine....Kat, we are happy to have you tomorrow, Mel, how did you do it today?..By the way I'm starting with 128.6, hoping to reach 125 at the end of the detox...Good luck:flowerforyou:

Hi Gabi :flowerforyou:

I'm glad your doing it in a way that will work for you, you'll be having less fruit over all so it'll still work pretty much the same, and at least the chocolate is DARK!!! Which is healthier and also I know sometimes you have sugar free dark chocolate which would be an even better choice for detox.
Just do what works for you, the main point is we are still combining the vital proteins and veggies and fruits to give the best possible fat burning whilst eliminating nasty carbs which slow that down.
I'm sure you'll still see a decent drop in weight by Friday and sticking with it the way you can is better than trying to do it another way then splurging half way through!!!

Exercise on detox is tough, I can do a little but I don't like to over do it as I find I get really hungry and want something which I'm not allowed, I tend to just have a nice long walk or bike ride, or maybe do a shred DVD or some Yoga.
Carrying on with our normal daily lives can be tricky on detox, especially when I have to work the wednesday night through it, that kills me!! I know you'll do your best xxxx

I've managed to complete day 1 perfectly without too much trouble, I luckily have found a place where I am not thinking too much about food. I try to go into the detox as if I were going to fast for the day, then having some pineapple for breakfast seems like a treat rather than missing out on my cereal!!!
It often is mind over matter with these things, also I'm lucky that TOM is more than a week away so I am not craving much right now!!!!

Hope day 2 goes really well you, keep us posted xxxx :drinker:

So how is everyone doing today?

I failed miserably last night and after having a detox breakfast and lunch ended up having a big bowl of Spag Bol for tea! My hubby had a tooth extraction yesterday and could only eat soft stuff so I cooked him the Spag Bol and suddenly my chicken salad became very unappetising! I am weak! I know what my problem was....I am only 1lb away from target weight so my urgency isn't as big as when I have done this before (to give me a weight loss boost). However, I plan to try and be good for the next 2 days, although I will need a some form of energy foods today as I have my kettle bell class tonight.

Would love to hear how you are all getting on and whether anyone has indugled in the dreaded PJ yet??!! :laugh:

Hi Leanne :flowerforyou:

You have done so well and are so close to your goal, I'm sure a banana will not hurt and it's still very clean eating, I miss banana's on my detox!! But they are too starchy to include!!
For you though it'll be fine as you only have 1lb to go!!!!!

Awww, such a shame, getting through nearly the whole day and then spag bol temptation is too great!!!
I LOVE spag bol too, I have to sit through my son gobbling down plates of it while I have chicken salad and your so right it's SOOOO hard to resist!!!

I shall send you a copy of my fat burning list, it might be useful, and is much easier to stick to that the detox!!!

Have a lovely time at the wedding on Saturday xxx I'm sure you'll look amazing xxx

Hi guys :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Well it's day 4!! And not before time too!!!

I'm certainly looking forward to so different food, and a cup of tea with milk!!
I have coped ok this week, it hasn't been too tricky for me, but I have been soooo tired, more lack of sleep than detox, I usually make a point to get to bed as early as I can when detoxing but I've had some normal nights and that has meant I've been tired. :yawn:

I don't think I've lost as much as normal, I don't feel that slim really, I have pretty much followed it perfectly buy I know I've missed some water this time around, I've had a real job to get 6 glasses down let alone 8, I must try harder with this today.

Hope your all doing well and looking forward to a weekend of feeling great!!!!
