Weigh, Lose or Stay
Week Five
I cheated this week and weighed myself on Sunday morning, because on Sunday, I came off plan for a week. This was planned and I am trying to be sensible, but with birthday celebrations – my daughter’s first birthday party on Sunday and my birthday this week too, it made sense and I actually felt mentally like I needed it. But I plan to get straight back on it next week. Although without a doubt I will have put on next week, so I need to mentally prepare for that. And I am not looking forward to getting on the scales either!
I didn’t have such amazing results last week just 1.75lbs but I’m ok with that and did have a mini cheat of birthday cake on my daughter’s actual birthday. I also really struggled with my water consumption too, which didn’t help things. But I did lose 4cm off my waist which I am really pleased with. I’m hoping my week off will set me up raring to go for two more weeks before we go on holiday, and I may be rather optimistic but it would be awesome if I could reach 2 stone by then.

well done on losing so much so far, you are doing fantastically on this diet! You definitely deserve the week off, hope the cake and stuff are nice 😉
I’ll be linking up as soon as I have done my weightloss post this week x
I’ll look forward to reading your post Lauren thanks 🙂 x
Well done on your week. Its good that you have planned your week off that way you are able to enjoy the birthdays without feeling guilty.
I am trying hard to get back on track and hoping this week is the start. So should be linking up when you next post. I have increased my water to 2.5 litres and it’s going well. ☺
Well done on increasing your wate intake Laura and I hope you’re managing to keep your focus this week x
Still a good loss Laura, and I really think you will make 2 stone before you go away. Hope you enjoy your birthday week off, it will motivate you afresh for the last weeks before your holiday.
I finally managed to lose half a pound this week, after being stuck on the same weight for three weeks. I am hoping the increased exercise getting ready for my race in July will give the weight loss a bit of a boost.
I have to confess I’m being quite naughty this week! I imagine I shall pay for it next week, but hopefully I can still make 2 stone by holiday. Well done on your weightloss, keep going and you will get there x
This is fab Laura…. I really need to take the time to start taking measurements and recording this weekly! Then I could Link up every Tuesday lol. Keep at it! This is an ongoing challenge for us all. Angela xx
Yes weight is so many people’s battle, do take your measurements though it makes such a difference. Thank you so much for linking up Angela x
Hi this is my second week. And I was just wondering if anyone has a cheat on the day they get weighed? Thank u x
I wouldn’t really recommend cheat days on this diet as it takes you out of ketosis and makes you hungry again and makes the diet harder xx
I’ve lost 7lb in 2 weeks struggled this last week as I was poorly so stayed the same. Which I’m ok about ???? never drank enough water last week either. So all ready to go this week! Thank u x
