[IMG]http://smileys.*************.com/cat/36/36_1_39.gif[/IMG] Well here goes with my stats........

Started CD: 13th Feb. 16st 2lb
Weight Now: 10st 13lb
Total loss: 5st 3lb

Doing CD has been an absolute revelation The expression 'yo-yo dieter' could well have been my middle name, but this plan has given me the tools to be in control for the first time in my life

Shame it took soooo long - I celebrated my 60th birthday this April but hey better late than never

Only got another 17lb to go.........then it's maintenance here I come...........

Wow...Well done demon.

I've just started the LL route and hope to be where you are by christmas. Think I'll change that to...I will be where you are at christmas

I too am pleased I found this way to lose the weight. It really is a revelation. Lets drink to it...water of course

I wonder if we will ever get this kind of lifestyle change available on the NHS? Now there's food for thought lol

Anyway, once again well done

Mrs skint

Week 24/Day One

Good morning everyone

Thanks for all the lovely encouragement ladies xxx

Bright and sunny here in Wilts today........now isn't that just typical on a Monday when it's back to work

I've been getting lots of lovely comments especially at work jfc - I've been there for 7yrs now and this is way smaller than they've ever seen me

Well done on getting started mrs skint - the time will go much faster than you think and as the weight falls off so quickly you'll soon be at slimdom.........YEAH

You're sooo right, it's about time the NHS helped people to achieve this lifechange - let's face it they're always warning us of the dangers of being overweight.

It's WI after work this afternoon so fingers crossed those scales move nicely this week.

Morning all,

Well here's about me.

Started LL on 15th Februrary at 19.5 stone, changed to CD at 100 days and weigh 13 stone now (6.5 stone down) Ive still about 3/4 stone to go and have had a few blips recently but I'm determined not to let this stop me this time!

My weigh in is on Wednesday and I don't think I've lost any (Due to blips ) but on the positive I haven't put any on either! It's a start as usually I would have stuffed my face due to failing. I have to look at the positives or I will drive myself bonkers!

Olijames - if you venture over -Thursday evening would suit me better too as kids in bed. I'll text you later to arrange! Looking forward to reality check!

Hope you all have good positive days - I'm trying!

Christine

Aaahhh, thanks Demon! Hugs gratefully received and much needed!

I'm starting to get the required amount of water down again over the last couple of days. I have to retrain myself into drinking it as I wasn't getting anywhere near the 4 litre mark. I just have to grit my teeth and focus.

The main problem is the compliments. It has lulled me into a false sense of security. I have to keep telling myself that yes I do look and feel sooo much better but technically I am still medically obese (Just!) I'm nearly overweight which will be such a boost. I just have had such a crappy few weeks, which is no excuse as Ive had worse earlier on and didn't resort to food! It's definitely mt mind that is making me eat and not my stomach!

Anyway better go and sort the boys out with some lunch. Catch you all later.

Christine

Am I the only person on this site who is cal counting? I feel a little lonely! I will stick with my cal counting as long as it works. So far so good. You all seem to do really well on CD and LL though so I am intrigued. Would anyone advise me to swap or to stick with what I am doing?

Hi,

When this site gets going I'm sure there will be more calorie counters. The CD and LL diet really is the last chance saloon for many who have tried all the other diets many times. We have issues with food so need a break from it to re-assess our relationship with it! I lost 5 stone by eating healthily two years ago after I had my first son - it took a year and I enjoyed the change in lifestyle but then I got pregnant again and piled it all back on and I wanted to lose that and more but couldn't face it taking two years, hence doing LL and then CD.

Would I reccommend it? It depends on who is asking I suppose. It's not for everyone and it's not a miracle cure but it does work if you can stick to the regime, if you can't then it can be soul destroying!

Sorry for the long winded reply that doesn't really give an answer!

Christine

Hi barb

Great answer from salad - she's absolutely right, VLCD's aren't the answer for everyone. I'm a great believer in finding the plan that works best for you - horses for courses - you're much more likely to be able to stick it out that way. As a friend always says to me 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'

Speaking personally, CD has been wonderful - it's not always easy, but having tried and failed at just about every other diet out there, it's perfect for me. Like salad says, when you've got a lot to lose the rapid weight loss is sooo motivating and just what I needed.

Just got in from WI and YEAH...........3lb off this week

Off to slurp some soup.............feeling sooooo chuffed............only 14lb to go now...............
