Hello all - I'm new, I posted somewhere but can't find it now so thought I'd have another go- I'm sure I will get used to it. Anyway I'm hoping to meet my consultant this week in the aim of starting after new year- anyone else starting then? If so would be great to hear from you.

Hi
I'm starting on January 3rd, and have already been in touch with my new CD councillor . I have successfully done this before about 4 years ago. I currently Weigh about 16 stone 3 lb. (she sobs)I,m so disgusted with myself that I have let myself get so overweight. I have a hot holiday booked for the 20th june so i'm using this as my incentive to lose about 4 stone and also for health reasons as my knees are aching sooo much. Hope to chat with you some more and good luck with your journey.
Diane

I start tomorrow just met with my consultant and all packs ready to go! Tough over Xmas but if I can mange that I can anything.
I lost 4 stone on lighter life 5 years ago but have just suffered 2 years off sick with 2 back ops so have unfortunately put it back on as no being active.
Here's to 2013!!!

That's great- I'm glad that there are others starting in the new year. I am really looking forward to shifting this extra weight I've gained and am so inspired by the losses that so many have had, but it's Xmas tomorrow so I will enjoy not deny myself anything and look forward to the new me- good luck all! I shall post again after my first weigh-in ( I feel like asking not to be told my weight - but just my losses each week and how far I have got to go till my goal ) - I wonder if this is possible ? I hate to think about my weight it makes me depressed! I don't want to know the numbers. Anyway - Happy Christmas all- see you in the new year x

Hopeful2012 just saw your post .. You have similar stats to me and don't live miles away.. Maybe you could be my wingman? For the cd journey?

Hi Kat,

Support galore and lots of new or in my case restarts.

Welcome aboard x

[Kat]

Thanks Susie Tuesday! I find these forums distract you which is good. I need big distractions at the moment. X

Hi there Kat I have similar stats to you - although I asked not to know my weight but think I have a pretty good idea as your the same height with same BMI- I met my lady today and she has started me on step 2 - apparently I need Drs cert if I want to do s/s but I suppose I could just not have the meal?? Anyways I'm going to start tomorrow as my hubby's off work sick and too hectic to start today. It would be great to hear how your doing and help each other - my first aim is to get my BMI down to 30 from 37 and then I'll set myself another goal! I'm feeling very nervous now at starting this as I don't want to fail!

[Kat]

Hi, yes it looks like we are around a similar weight as we are a similar height and bmi. I have found the past few days hard however they seem to be getting better. You get fed up of people saying make sure you drink. But it does help so really recommend it.
My goal is to get down to a bmi of 30 as well. Can't wait to get to my goals. X

Hopefull 2012 I start tomorrow.. Eek! Hubby bk to work mon. We returned from hols today so he is in charge of kids thu fri sat sun so hoping by time he starts work il be over the worst of the yuk feeling.. Last time I did ss I had such bad head I could barely see for 2 days. Sadly I am a carb cruncher and live most of my adult so far on carbs with a bit of goodness thrown in.. But the absence of carbs always scares me.
ive just checked out my fitness pal app and it has the cd diet products on it so that'll help me loads because I can log my water and see at the end of each day how many proteins carbs etc I've got up to in the products I've uused how are u getting on?
