:wave_cry: Hey im new to this diet as of today eeeek! So any advice or support would be fab! :D
 
Hey there :) welcome along!!

Water water water is rule 1. And rule 2....distraction! This diet gives you the gift of time as you no longer need to cook so take the opportunity to use your Time elsewhere :)

Oh, an eye on the prize! Once you get through the first 3 days, it's much easier and the scales (and your clothes) will make up for not eating

Current loss: 6lbs
 
Lizz is totally right. Water and fill your time with everything from work and cleaning to light exercise and fund stuff!
 
Oooooh and looking at clothes online that you'll eventually wear! That's always a good one :)

Current loss: 6lbs
 
I find recording stuff on here really helps to, getting advice and help kept me going through. it.

I've re-started today, starving but going for it!.
 
Have some water by the bed and get some sleep! That's today sorted :)

Current loss: 6lbs
 
I'd echo the water recommendations. Also, I find I'm enjoying doing things like putting on a face mask or beauty treatment. I did this brilliant foot thing that you leave on for an hour to get rid of excess dry skin. An hour is just long enough for streaming another episode of crime drama. And tidying, lots of that. And water :)
 
Word of warning about glass of water next to your bed. I used to keep a glass of water on my bedside cabinet and have a drink after my midnightly visit to the loo. Until the night I was sooo tired I basically threw water into my own face. I was suddenly very awake and very wet. Now I have a reusable bottle with a sports cap by my bed.
 
Brill thanks guys :) on my 3rd day of ss now and its getting easier (i think??) only find it difficult when im at work around all the food cuz it smells sooooo good lol but ive been very good with myself have been drinking tons and tons of water lol practically sat on the loo. What im looking forward to is starting these bars! Cant wait :)

Hi MizFish I'm just starting today (although I have done it before about 3 years ago) well done for getting to day 3 it will start getting easier!! Look forward to hearing how you've got on at your weigh in? How much have you got to lose? xx
 
Hi tinkerbella thanks for the supportive words :) yes got through day 4 with hardly any cravings woooooo and im hoping to lose 2 half stone hopefully god knows how long its going to take but im sticking to it! Just cant wait to get onto these bars :) wish u all the best in ur weight loss keep us updated x
 
Well done for getting through day 4, I'm just finished day 1!! I can't wait to be on day 4! It shudnt take long to lose 2.5stones not on this diet especially if you stick to it!! My weight losses ( when I did it before) were always fab!! I'm not fussed by the bars! But they are handy to have in ur handbag for those moments when your out longer than planned etc x
 
Thanks hun yeah well done you on day 1 i found that very tricky! I think im looking forward to the bars so much because they arnt made up of liquid lol thats all i seem to be having ( besides the porridge ) lol and the convenience side to it also how much do you have to lose? X
 
I've got lots to lose - about 6-7 stone I'm not sure yet I'll decide when I get there!! But I know I can do it!! The good thing with the bars is they take ages to eat (well they used to) - I used to cut mine in half and it felt like I had an extra product lol!! x
 
Ooooooh I might cut one into small squares and put it in the fridge so it lasts even longer! Lol

Current loss: 12lbs and 7.5inches

It is really exciting! I have my 3rd weigh in Tuesday PM and I still get excited! Never lose that excitement, it helps get you through the harder times

Current loss: 12lbs and 7.5inches
 
Your loss so far is brill! Congratulations hope i will be the same are you on ur bars now? X
 
I was on bars from day 1. This is my second time doing cd so I demanded them haha
Did it in 2009 and lost 5 stone, put 1.5 on through eating and 1 on from quitting smoking. I used to be a size 22!

Bars are needed. Chewing is too much to go without

Current loss: 12lbs and 7.5inches
