Week 2 weigh in
Well I lost 1kg last week (2.2lbs) - I thought it would be more from my own scales but I did weigh in in the afternoon rather than the morning so that might explain it. I was a bit naughty over the weekend though after my weigh in. I bought some additional bars (biggest loser ones) just as top-ups but I ate them over the Sat and Sunday (2 extra bars a day). I told myself that I would still come in under 1000 calories a day so I should still lose weight but when I checked my pee stick I had come out of ketosis - for those not familar with VLCD - ketosis is the state your body goes into when it is burning your fat reserves as energy - this releases ketones into your body which can be measured by peeing on a special stick. The more ketones the more efficient your body is at burning fat - my body is not efficient at the best of time - even when I am religiously sticking to the diet I only just register in the ketones stacks which probably explains why I don't lose weight as fast as others. Fingers crossed my lapse over the weekend isn't going to ruin my weight loss this week!
In 2 weeks I am off to a conference for work so I am going to eat that week. In one way I am soooo looking forward to eating but on the other I'm scared I won't be able to stop. I really want to get down to a new low for me 60kg (9 1/2 stone) which will be my lowest ever adult weight. Still aways to go yet though......
