Hi everyone!
I've just started CD today for the first time ever. I'm right at the top end of my healthy BMI range so have had to start on step 2 as it is not recommended to do Sole Source if you are under BMI 25 (I'm 24.5)
My counsellor says she has never started off a newcomer to CD on Step 2 before so she's really keen to see how I get on.
I found out about CD through MiniMins because a few years ago I lost 7st through healthy eating, exercise and a bit of WW. The weight loss and 2 c-sections have left me with a horrible overhang that requires surgical removal. I have been coming here for support with that and heard about CD so decided after much reading to give it a try because I need to shake off that last stubborn stone before I see a plastic surgeon in a month's time.
Anyway, had my first choc shake this morning and it was delicious so feeling pretty positive at the moment. I lowered my carb intake drastically for a few days before starting too so I am really hoping to minimise headaches etc. but I'll probably be on here again later moaning and asking if it's ok to take Ibuprofen if they are coated with that sweet stuff.
My freezer has never been so stocked with skinless chicken breasts and haddock fillets! Wish me luck!
