Weigh, Lose or Stay
Week Four
This week has been tougher, I think I am over the elation of starting a diet and seeing the initial results – which don’t get me wrong are fantastic, but now I’m into the hum drum of this is it for a while now, I’ve got to buckle down and get the weight off. I have had a small 200kcal meal some nights (SS+) of fish or chicken and veg, not every night just some nights when I’ve been struggling and have managed to keep up with my 3 litres per day.
I’ve got two weeks until we’re having a joint family barbecue for my daughter and I’s birthday. For this party and the couple of days after leading to my birthday, I’m going to have a few days off plan, before going back on the day after my birthday and I ha e to confess I am really looking forward to a few days of proper food.

Linky Rules
I must stress this is open to anyone, you do not have to join in the Linky if you just want to share your weight loss or maintenance stats in the comments, this is totally fine. But if you want to link up that is also fab.
This is a feature that everyone can join in with (including my own clients!). Not every body is on a diet, but they do like to keep an eye on their weight for maintenance purposes. So this is a weekly weigh-in whether you want to lose weight or stay the same.
The more the merrier please join in. It doesn’t matter what diet you are following, dieting is hard whatever route you take this is just about supporting one another.

Well done Laura that’s a lot of weight to loose in 3 weeks. You are right your body will want to settle now & weight will come off more slowly. That’s great you can take a few days off for your birthday! xx
Thanks Becky, yes I k is it comes off quickly on this diet, although it will stabilise. When I’m finding it hard, i browse clothes sites 😉
Well done. You are doing fantastic. The eyeshadow quad is beautiful. Love the colours.
Your water do you drink it cold? I am finding drinking cold water has me constantly shivering.
Thank you. Yes I much prefer the water cold from the fridge, how about having some warm with a slice of lemon or some herbal teas? X
Keep going Laura you are doing so well, and soon you can have a few days of more normal eating. Also, I expect when you go back to it after your few days you will get a big loss that week again. Averaging almost 6lbs per week so far is mega!!
I have lost half a pound this week, hoped for more but at least it is going in the right direction.
Thanks Hilary 🙂 and well done on your loss, persistence is king and you will get there x
Way to go that’s great news. Keep it up and great eyeshadow x
Thank you Susan 🙂 I will get there! X
