Re: Diary of a CD Girl - 20lbs Down! On to SS+ Hello I'm here... How u doing?

Awww thanks Mermaid xx

Hi Beth, firstly Thankyou so much for your kind words, I hope I can be an inspiration to you. I absolutely love the CD products, I've tried lipotrim, slum n save, exante, celebrity slim etc etc and I jus you not I failed big time on all of them. I love the flexibility of CD, I've had meals out...

Thanks Jemma its been a long road but a really great one. A new beginning for me. Good luck on your journey hun xx

Awesome weight loss. You go girl. X

And front view

Here's me today, 9 stone 13.

I started out at 13 stone and reduced my carb intake the week before as advised by CDC I actually lost 6lbs by doing that. I then started CD at 12 st 8lbs, 3 months later and 3stone 1lb lost. It hasn't been easy but I accommodated the plan to suit me. It's so flexible I went up and down the...

Hey ya, I dragged myself out on a very bad run today 8 miles (4 walking) feel a but rough have got a bad throat and just feel generally grotty, WI at 9.13.6 so happy with that but had an eating head on me and have clocked up 1076 cals today. Going to fast all day tomorrow and just have a couple...

Awesome hunni, its all mindset and you get amazing results. Well a wee well done for you chick :applaud :)

Thanks sweetie xx

Omg 15lbs in week 1 is awesome. See what happens when you are 100% ( which is something I have never been able to do not even in week 1, I had tuna) you have proved you can go out with family and still socialise and make a really good choice which will have no affect on your weight loss. Having...

9.13.8 How I achieved this I don't know, I ate loads yesterday including two glasses of wine and some Pringles oh and some blue cheese. My fav, I did do an 8 mile brisk walk with dogs, rest day today and run tomorrow. Yipee do dah day

Vernon??? Been on :) stupid predictive texting :)

I know I can't wait.. I've Vernon the 10's for 7 weeks, must say I've had enough of them now. Need those 9's lol

3lbs that's not that bad at all. Once you get back in the swing of things it will be dropping off ya like hot lard. Have a good BH tomorrow :) xx

10.0.6 yeeeeesss get in there. Went for a run did much further than usual andfelt really good. I'm on step 3 now and must say its lovely eating real grub. I'm squeezing this fat out as we speak, I wanna see the 9's

Hey Laura glad your backon track, what's the damage at WI??? I've been doing 8 mule runs most days and had to up steps, I felt so light headed and almost passed out on Friday. So I'm basically doing 1000 cals step 3 my.own version with CD products. Lots of training and have got official WI...

My weighloss slowed down to 2lbs a week before I started exercising. Since I started exercising it has remained the same about 2lbs per week apart from when I went up to 810 then I lost 5lbs. I just can't go without my milk and nibbles so I am still losing but at the same 2lbs every week. Which...

Morning, how r u doing? Well Ive just got back from my run and having some porridge then swimming. You've gone quiet on me???? :)

I agree with vJames. You have such good intentions that usually die a death within the first week. You put pressure on yourself to lose weight for a guy. Big no no, do it for you, no time period, do something more manageable for you and your lifestyle. Same principles as vlcd, do a low cal, low...

I hate having. Sore throat more than a cold. I'm due one, havent had one since December. Hope you feel better soon hunny lots if rest and paracetamol xcxx

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Week 5! 20lbs Down :D Yes it makes sense. See how you get on. It will be nice to have something to eat as well. Food for brain and body. :)

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Week 4 Already!!! Hi Sherrie, when I went up a step from ss+ to 810 I lost 5lbs. Sometimes I think we need a boost to the metabolism then take it away again to keep losing. Hope u get 4lbs off hun. Xx

Oh dear where is she teapot???? :(

Down to 10.2 this morning. Omg was 10 years ago I was last at this weight. I'm loving it woohoo I can smell the 9's

Hi Laura I had a great day yesterday dropped down to 10.2 this morning, I did have 3 meatballs and milk in my tea but I was running around all day plus the 8 mile run too in the morning. I'm having a much easier day today no running as I ache all over. Lol. Hope you have a hood shift. :)

8 miles done. Didn't do to bad timewise either. My breathing is sussed now its just my legs can't keep up. They are still quite weak. Going out again tomorrow. WI this morning 10.3.6 seem to be hanging around this weight for a while but always hoping for a whoosh.

God I feel so tired, not kidding i had 9.5 hours sleep and can hardly wake up. I'm going for a run today, I had 3 meetings yesterday it was brain numbing. Going to try for 8 miles but will let you know if I'm still alive at the end of it. Lol Good luck today Laura may the water be with you. :)

Well done u, I did 99% I had some milk in a coffee :( other than that I was good and chewed gum all day. I've got a bad headache now so off to bed. Here's to day one done and dusted. Well I'm week 12 really but day one of being the best I've been in ages haha

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Week 4 Already!!! Hi O, you are sounding very upbeat and positive, hope this week goes well hun x

So far so good, lots of water down the hatch and I have Been 100%. How u doing?

Nah that won't do anything at all. Good choices hun well done x

You too, im just having a black coffee, yuk and water..#double yuk but needs must, went back up to 10.4.2 again today so its my own fault. Here goes :)

I will do ss with u until I get to 10stone, I've Been picking a bit today and need to nip it in the bud. Tomorrow's plan of action 3 shakes, water, no flavourings no milk in my tea argh, a tough day but lets do it. Also we have to check in with each other during the day ( its the only way I will...

Hi all, I did LT 2 years ago and lost 2 stone in 7 weeks.. brilliant!!! But then within 2 months i piled it all back on and another stone on top for added measure. Why? 1. Because I thought I knew better than the refeed. 2. I obviously never learnt a thing from portion sizes to healthy eating...

Thank god you have come back I was wondering what happened. Even when you fall off the wagon ( most people have slip ups) you should still use this forum as support. It will help you get back on track quicker than by just going awol hun. No ones perfect, I wasn't last night I had a few bits from...

Hi Laura where u been? What's happening? Yes enjoyed run. Did 3 miles and then.played a football match in the afternoon. For 90 minutes so lots of running. Having a day off today. Cleaned and tidied house, caught up with washing and ironing, cooked dinner and now having a lie down. :)

Yes each day that passes is another day in the past. It's more lbs off and the lbs add up very quickly. Trust me, my weight loss has been about 2lbs every week that's it, most people expect more than that and would have given up by now and gone to SW or WW where they can eat, which costs less...

Ahhh Thankyou I do feel better. So much more energetic and bouncy because I'm happy eeeeeeek:)

I hate this photo but its another one at 13 stone. Compared to today.

Me at 13 stone. I started CD at 12.8 I'm now 10.3 still got a way to go. The second pic is me today. Just going out for a run while its dry.

10.3 finally, thank god thought I was going to stay at 10.4 forever. Playing football today... Eeeek my daughter plays and its a friendly between girls and parents. Going to get my new running stuff out so I look the part. The trousers are a size 8. I am not a size 8, the material is very...

I'm 5ft 4 too so I would say its time for you to move up, you will still lose weight all beit slower it will be safer and healthier for you. It will also give you time to adjust to eating again and learning portion control. That's why the steps are so important. I'm doing each step longer than...

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Week 4 Already!!! Still in the 10 stone bracket but on 810 calories which is step 2. Cant freaking wait to b in the .8's. Lol I'm fitting into some size 10's and still some size 12's but started as a size 16 at end of Feb, so not too long really being may. The weeks fly...

Hey sweet I'm on 810 i lost 5lbs my first week of going up to step 2. Couldn't believe it. I'm 10.4 and have Been on ss+ and now 810. My weight loss is slower than yours but there is no way I would of Bern disciplined luke you and stuck to it that long. Once my BMI got to 25 I had to go up to...

Are u still on ss? What's your BMI? I was told by my CDC that as my BMI is under 25 I had to step up to 810. X

Laura where are you??? Are u ok?

I will be excited to hear how well you have done. That first weeks loss is such a good motivator. I lost 10lbs in my first 10 days I was so chuffed with that. It spurred me on to keep going. Next week you will be well on your way into ketosis and its such a nice satisfying comfortable feeling...

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Week 4 Already!!! I wish I could be so disciplined like you but I have to have my milk in coffee every day and have from day 1. My BMI is 24.6 so now on 810 which is lovely. Feels good to be eating again. Your doing really well though. Keep it up :)

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Week 4 Already!!! Well done you, you deserve to gloat, that is a really fab loss. :)

Wowsers, amazeballs, that must be a fantastic feeling chick, eeeeeek : applaud xxx

Bless you sweetie you are doing great, hang on in there, another day under Ur belt. :) I'm 10.4 my starting weight was 12.8, I'm still loving the feeling of being slimmer and every day I wake up and give myself credit where its due. X

Fab ava, glad to hear it. Counting down will help it gives you a mini goal, you should still have a good loss, remember each day is more off. Go Ava, go Ava whoop whoop x

Hi Cheryl, hope day 2 is going well, it doesn't seem like that long ago that I was on day 2. It goes so quick and it does become easier I assure you. Your first weeks WI will be BIG as long as you remain 100%. It will spur you on. How exciting and good luck hun xx

Don't get me wrong hubby is lovely he us just in a lot of pain with a bulging disc in his neck, been going on for months and still hurting. Still shouldn't take it out on me. But anyway I've forgiven him I just haven't told him that. Lol

Ok a better day today so far, hubby much happier and um focused, 2 products so far, lots of plain water and black coffee, doing an ss day today wanna get downto 10.3 tomorrow.please

I've been happy all day and he's been a right miserable sod. I didn't deserve to b on the end of his moodiness god

Grrrrr disagreement with OH led me to eat nuts, cheese and coleslaw. Pee d off now :( with me and him grrrr

10.4.4 gone up by 0.2 which is probably expected as I have upped the excercise considerably. Did 5 miles of tabbing today, (running/brisk walking) and have had 2 products and veg soup waiting for me for when I get home. I will be adding swimming into my regime from next week so will see how it...

10 stone 2 Wowsers bet you looked incredible at that weight. As you are a very pretty girl whatever your size. Well here's to day 3 % babe x

Thanks mini for reading, there is someone other than me on here! Lol I've never ever been into fitness before in my life but then I've always been what I consider too heavy for my legs. It's very addictive and if I have a day when I am home doing nothing I feel soooo guilty. What's that all...

I agree, its all been about you and what you want and need. Your choices, money and commitment. You decide when you stop. Well done x

Ava, I did LT a couple ofyears ago, lost 2 stone ish in 7 weeks, didn't refeed and piled it all back on plus more, determined never to do that again, so before I started CD I just ate healthy for a while and lost 6lbs, I am going to carry on with healthy eating once I'm maintaining. It has...

Done!!! In 1.hr 24 minutes. Feeling good so far, bit hungry but not going to ruin it. Drunk a pint of water and now sipping a coffee. Baked a cake, Mac cheese and Italian chicken for my lot for tonight. Feel like ive had a very productive day. Looking forward to relaxing with holby city and vamp...

10.4.2 this morning just about to embark on an 8 mile intermittent run/walk wish me luck...

Well done Ava, how's day 2 going? I'm 11 weeks in and 2stone 3lbs down, I'm doing Cambridge 810 ( step 2) so get to have a tuna salad and milk and 3 products each day. Have to say I'm loving it and its a way of life for me now. I know I will get to goal eventually. You will to Ava...one day at...

Ava, just take one day at a time and don't look too far ahead as it becomes a daunting never ending task, if you can establish a new routine and stick to it. When it gets tough and your inner demons start talking you out of it just. STOP and PAUSE, take some time to think what you really want...

Week 11 WI and I lost 5lbs yay, very pleased with that especially after my sts last week due to coming out of ketosis for my bday so yeah 810 til goal now...

10.5 on the scales this morning and 10k walked, feels like I've been in the 10's forever I reckon two more weeks and I might see the 9's if I'm a good girl. I'm still very happy on CD have officially upped to 810 and enjoying it so much, seems my scales are showing a 4lb loss already and WI...

Well done babe. Feels good doesn't it. I was 10.9 on Sunday and this morning 10.5 I'm very happy wth that. I have been on a 10k walk today with dogs which took me 1hr 40 minutes its a route I have set onto a walking app on my phone and it gives me average walking speed,time and distance. Today...

Sneaky WI down to 10.6 today did ss+ yesterday but have done 810 today and a 5 mile walk. See what the scales say tomozzy :)

Sorry yes exercising every day, walk 5-8 miles briskly so I'm sweating.like mad, will start running once my aching legs are used to it. They still hurt quite a lot. Been walking 3 weeks now and starting swimming next week. Very excited.

Funny coz my CDC told me to weigh every day to keep on top of my weight, I'm doing mixture of ss+ and 810 so that may be why I'm to weigh every day. I'm finding it easy to follow having just a little food to eat every day and apart from one night off on.my 40th bday I haven't cheated or fallen...

Your awesome!!! You stick to it rigidly well done you. :) I only manage ss+ or 810 now but happy doing that. Slow and steady wins the race and I'm getting there. X

How much do you need to lose to get to 10stone, my mini goal is 10 stone I'm currently at 10.6 as of this morning, we could do this together, do u daily weigh? I do just to keep me going and it does help me. If I lose I'm happy and try harder and if I gain I try harder, all b it I may be pissed...

Well gained 1lb on Saturday night and bummed out of ketosis, had buffett, curry, chocs, sausage rolls, bday cake,Bacardi n coke, and four hours of dancing. Well it was my 40th and I had a great time. It's now Monday and I went straight back on 810 yesterday and dropped 2 lbs over night. So happy...

Thanks Laura, I feel better getting straight back on cd wagon, so I'm day 1 again too really. We can do this babe, end goal in sight. Xxx

Had my party last night, started out on water and had only two cd products but once the party got into full swing I thought sod it I'm only going tohave this party once, so I had some Buffett, cakes, chocolate, nibbles and vodkas and orange felt good and danced for hours, weighed this morning...

You've done really well xx

Hi how you doing? What's your stats now? X

Hi Laura, I'm still on track, had my 40th birthday on Monday, a lovely surprise family dinner along with a gorgeous Gucci watch from my husband and daughter and a diamond and ruby eternity ring from hubby, spoilt rotten and loved every minute, had a low carb meal, water and a piece of cake, no...

Hope you did ok today:) my brother and mum are both support care workers for disabled children. Much appreciation for you guys :)

Same!!!! The first week I was on CD the poo fairy visited me every day but it soon died down and then it went the other way and now every week i take senna to help me along. :) I always have a rumbling tummy but I quite like it, it reminds me that I've been good. Fizzy water gurgles in me for...

Hi G, firstly congrats to you making the first step by doing something about it, secondly remain committed, do not talk yourself out of it no matter how tough it gets. Those moments pass and you will feel fantastic for getting through them. I know its difficult but the scales do fib occasionally...

Okay been lurking but not posting, week 7 Wi lost 2lbs Week 8 Wi lost 2lbs Well on way for 2 or 3 this week but still very happy n going strong, I've decided not to come off plan for my 40th birthday on Monday or my party on Saturday 4th. I'm proper in the zone and don't want to spoil my hard...

I think that's a wise decision, I didn't really get much commitment confidence from you, if your heads not in it don't waste your money, wait until you are buzzing babe then you will know when the time us right. :) don't b a stranger keep us updated xx

Well done Jodie you will be at goal before you know it. What's a few months out of your life for looking and feeling great :) awesomeness hun xx

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Sooo Happy! :D I've lost 21lbs in 6 weeks, I've got WI at 6.30pm tonight I think.I've done about 3 or 4 this week. I've got two weeks until my 40th birthday and 3 weeks until my.party. I want to be about 10.7 by party night. I was 12.8 when I started and on my scales...

So beautiful :) you will look amazeballs in four weeks, :claps

Re: Diary of a CD Girl - Sooo Happy! :D Hi Sherrie, so sorry for your loss, I hope you get to the bottom if what your problems are. It's so devastating, my sister has pcos and after several years of fertility treatment, finally got pregnant but unfortunately gave birth to a sleeping baby Dec...

I'm doing great, my mind is in it and now I'm seeing great results. Week 1 lost 6 Week 2 lost 4 Week 3 lost 3 Week 4 lost 3 Week 5 lost 2 Week 6 lost 3 Week 7 tbc tonight but I think its 3 again. I'm happy with that because I eat out once a week but always eat the same thing chicken, salad...

Have you put any on? I don't think its good to be disgusted with yourself. We are all too self critical which in the end leads to destruction. Be kinder on yourself, forgive and quietly move on setting yourself a new target. Take the pressure off yourself and embrace the eating plan. :)

One word babe, commitment :) don't start until your ready to commit. Good luck x

You look amazing!!! One day my overhang may go. Lol x

You go Laura, you can do it. If u stick to it, it will be off next WI plus more. I always think give yourbody a bit of what it needs and then take it away and you get a whoosh. :)

What charity Do you help for? Your so lovely to do that hun, :) the world needs more like you x

Wow you too, it will be hot hot hot, we r going to Disney and staying at Disney's carribbean beach hotel on site. It's costing an arm and a leg so.I have to do it justice. Been out tonight for hubsters bday dinner and had plain chicken, greens andside salad, lots of water and lots of...

Sneeky WI today, 11.0.2 cooommeee ooooon the blasted tens...I think I've been in the 11's for 5 long weeks. Tomorrow please????

Week 6 WI I lost 3 lbs. I've now lost 21lbs altogether on CD. I feel thinner now and so much more confident. My OH told me that my fat back has gone. Haha gee thanks babe, such a fine compliment. I may go up a step in a couple of weeks officially rather than nibbling here and there. Seems like...

Omg...stunning :) you must be tiny now. The dress us a beautiful colour, I love it.

Three sleeps to go, how exciting :)

I'm doing okay I'm still nibbling but on chicken and eggs and have had a 3lb loss this week so its kinda made me think I may go up to 810 and hope to get the same sort of losses. I know what you mean about the bars. I love them all of them and sometimes have 2 a day then I run out half way...

Hi Beautiful Blue, I'm dipping into Ur thread from the Cambridge forum, but as far as I'm concerned meal replacements are all the same whatever label is stamped on the packaging. We are all going through the same feelings/emotions. I just had to comment on Ur thread, I think you are a very...

You'll be ok, don't beat Urself up. Plus it won't take long to be back in ketosis. Guilt does not help with getting back on track it leads u down the road to sabotage. Forgive yourself and move on. :) your doing great. X

It will work :) because you want it to. You know what you have to do. STOP bleddy picking. NOW. From now, give yourself a mini challenge, 3 days of 100% then a WI for motivation. You will lose some, that's what I did, I was picking more and more and then thought no, mini challenge for 3 days and...

I went to bed with proper hunger pains, dunno where the heck they came from but 10 hours later I weighed myself and was down 1lb since yesterday so pleased I never caved. It's so tough tho. Hope you have a good day. Least Ur doing tons of exercise all I'm doing is walking the dogs.

I agree, you've done it before you can do it!!!!:)

Hi last bickie, just read Ur whole diary, very inspirational and loving the pics. It just proves if you stick with it no matter what happens the end result will b fabulous. I'm definately going to stick to plan now I wanna b slim like u. Btw I'm only up the road from u in Tadley :)

I look at everyone at home and the quantities that they are eating is shocking. I never want to be like that again. Even the kids eat a lot. Healthy eating and portion size is the route I'm going to take after my.journey to b slim. :)

Hope u feel better soon :)

Sweetie, you can do this, its a perfect time its still cold, summer isn't here yet, it gives you enough time to get some weight off and look and feel good for summer. Btw your a beautiful girl whateva weight u r. Good luck :) p.s not boring at all, just human xx

Hi Ava, just read your diary from start to finish!!! Hope you don't mind me popping onto Ur thread but I've currently done LT in 2010 for 7 weeks and lost 2 stone. I didn't bother to refeed and piled it back on plus another stone. After many failed attempts at restarting LT and failing, wasting...

Hi all, I've lost 16lbs next WI on Monday which will be my 5th. I'm excited as I got my hubby to hide my scales so have no idea of outcome. I'm lying in bed trying to calm down as my 14year old daughter went missing at the late skate at our local ice rink. Wasn't waiting at the door at 10pm as...

Wow!!!! :)

Wow you look great and your arms are really skinny :)

You've lost some bad fat, the fat round the middle, you can really see a noticeable difference. Imagine another stone off and how much different you will look again. Thanks for posting!!

Tonight is my official WI but my scales say the same as CDC scales usually, although one time they was way out, weird! But looking at mine I've lost 2 this week but have nibbled on chicken.or tuna every day. So from today for my 7 day challenge I'm gonna b 100%. Not going to weigh on scales this...

You are doing really well, I think the age difference helps loads, u are younger and burn off more cals, and when you do calorie count weekends you still have fab losses. Okay I do 100% and you do Mon-Fri 100% then calorie count for the weekend. Let's compare on Monday for our losses. X good...

Het hun, good luck, I'm in the same boat, I have a lovely OH and a beautiful tall and slim daughter. We've got a trip to Florida booked on august 14th and my goal was to lose 5 stone. I started end of Feb and have lost 1 of the 5 so 4 to go. I'm doing good I can stick to it as long as I have a...

Sian, I'm 5ft 4 and currently 11.7, yesterday I was 11.6 but too much roast chicken yesterday put pay to that. I'm starting today 100% for 7 days as I've got WI tonight and again next Monday. I've only lost 2 this week coz of my nibbles, usually chicken or tuna but really need a big loss to be...

I've Been reading so many inspirational diaries rather than writing on my own as I don't really have anything exciting to add apart from WI days, I'm seriously reading for hours and it keeps me going hard and strong. I'm still very happy on cwp and will stay on it until I get to goal. Starting...

Ooooowaa I hope so, will do babe xx

I've lost 13 so far in 3 weeks but this week coz of the dreaded twice daily weighing, I can't stop either, says I've lost 1lb and I've made a special effort to drink about 5 pints per day excluding tetras. I was hoping for a whoosh this week :( might do ss+ next week for a boost, CDC said to me...

How y doing babe??? :)

I had extra bar today, felt not hungry but empty and my tummies ( I've got two) were eager to be patted by something solid. Better an extra bar or shake than anything else. :)

Corrrr well done that's loads!!! Lucky u I'm jealous. :) my scales are well and truly stuck. Hoping for 3 next WI but here's hoping coz they ain't moving. Grrrrr

How you getting on suze??? :)

Hi Abby, welcome to your new CD journey. First week is the toughest, once you get into ketosis its much kinder on your tummy and its easier on you. Drink loads of water, the more you drink could mean the difference by a few extra pounds each week. you will have your biggest loss in this first...

Day 11 I pledge that I will be 100% on target today. :)

Day 10 Felt hungry all day, couldn't shift the feeling of emptiness, needing, was overwhelming so had a slice of gammon ham, a large slice. Was lovely. I was determined that it was not a cheat or a blip, slip up, falling off the wagon it was an allowance therefore there was no need for me to...

Day 9 X 2 banana terra X 1 choc terra X 3 cubes of chicken and x 2 mouthfuls of tuna. Had a goodish day trying to keep busy, annoyed with my agency telling me I've got to fight for the children to get respite these days. It used to be that you would automatically get 14 much needed days a...

Good luck, stay focussed :) its not easy but so worth it and everyone here us in the same boat. X

Ahhhh hun once you see a good loss this week it will spur you on. I agree don't look to far forward but be really proud of your achievements :)

Nope not yet:( proves how much notice he takes. Heehee, he hasnt even noticed that I'm not eating, he just thinks I'm dieting. Seriously I could get away with murder and he still wouldn't notice. It's quite good in a way tho, he never noticed when I pranged the car, huge dent in the back. Got it...

How you doing today hun?

Good luck I'm sure you can doit. :)

Well done suze :) I can't ruddy wait to get into the 11's then into the 10's as quickly as possible. Wish I didn't have to go thro the 11's. 9 stone seems ages away. I know its not but at least when im ten Stone I feel more acceptable in society and will start going swimming as won't be so self...

Yeah I am actually funny how quick you get used to it. Right now I feel like I could do this indefinitely but I haven't had any social functions or nights out etc. Will have in April though so gotta get a plan in mind ready so that I can get straight back on. Not looking forward to ever going in...

Day 8 Had hot banana shake for breakfast was yummy actually and a pint of berry water midmorning followed by hot banana for lunch and hot choc for tea. Exciting eh. I don't really like any other flavours all tastes powdery to me but I can cope with that. Felt really hungry about 6pm until...

Even tho you've had blips hun you still done brilliantly. Wish I was at Ur stage. It's only day 8 for me. The days go by so blimmin slow. :)

Hey hun yeah done good today feel different, smaller dare I say it. Lol x

Ahhhh babe its awful when your every waking moment is taken up by thinking about it all and worrying about it. You have done brilliantly so far so for one, you need to praise yourself for that and two you are still able to socialise just take a minute or two to think about and make good choices...

I know I know and how hard its gonna b too, we usually do an easter egg hunt followed by an easter party for family and their kids don't know how I'm going to get thro it. Hhmmmm me love chocolate. Eeeek

Tomkatesmum a loss is a loss, don't give up hun its in the right direction. A biggie loss coming your way next week. :) I've lost 6lbs so very happy got a 4 day WI this week as CDC is off on hol and didn't want Me to wait 10 days. Here's hoping for more off by Friday. :) l so love this. It's...

Wow you've done well, how long has that taken you? I've been good today just kept myself busy, painting daughters room today. My Oh thinks I'm going crazy running around cooking cleaning and painting all in the same day. Lol but I have to otherwise the big F comes into mind. Dreamt about...

Snap, my OH is 6ft 2 and 12st 7 and I am 5ft 4 and started at 12.8 now 12.2 but its awful because he was and still is reminding me of how heavy I am on a daily basis. It's a good bit of competition now because now im losing weight he is trying to gain and failing miserably. Lol. I too...

That's great news Christy. You should get a good loss this week. :)

Omg that is awful Suze to have to give up something you have trained for and loved because of pressures to be thin. Jeeez how much have you lost?

Haha Lily love it!!! :)

Nah I didn't mention she said it to me when she was taking my.measurements. Ahhh well its a good sign, that and totm as it means the big K is in full swing. :) Good luck for your son, what a brilliant sport. Hope he does well :)

Thankyou suze, yeah much easier for me to keep quiet about it. I haven't told anyone at all that's why I need all you guys sooooo much :) Being a fostercarer I'm expected to cook wholesome healthy meals 3 times per day and if it was none I was doing this they would frown upon me ad not setting...

Thankyou lovely ladies good luck on Ur next WI. Lily I spent three hours ish ready Ur diary from start to finish, you are doing blimmin brilliant. Lots of ups and downs but that's everyone. From what I've read no one has an easy time. You are going to do this. :) Not only is there a poo...

Yes same!!!! And I make all sorts of fantastic yummy things at home purely because I can't eat it. Why??? I'm definitely in ketosis as my CDC remarked on my bad breath telling me it was a good sign and she knows when someone has done well. Lol Stick with it suze not too much longer and...

Argh sent to early, stepping up to ss+. She's going to give me good options to choose whilst out and allowing me 7lbs weight gain that week (40th birthday, 4 meals out plus drinks) that way I don't need to feel guilty and can lose that again in a week straight after plan.

Weh hey...I lost 6lbs I'm well happy :) I was so happy I was shaking. How stupid is that. My CDC says my bad breath was a really good sign of ketosis. Eeeeeek Start date 12.8lbs Week 1 12.2lbs I cooked my family a lovely shepherds pie and I had a big pint of hot chocolate shake. told my...

How u doin today suze?

Day 6 down, thank god, took kids and dogs for a 2 hour walk in pamber forest, I'm just feeling so tired. I can't really be bothered to do anything and have to force myself for the kids sake. Where's my mojo gone??? I think I just need to get through one day at a time right now until I perk up...

I bet your back in ketosis by tomorrow it shouldn't take long should it, as you only had a little amount of carbs. Be good today, I'm here with ya chick :)

Thanks suzie will do, very excited. Highlight of my week :)

Day 5 down the hatch, did really well but felt sick all day, had a small tin of tuna in water and felt so much better. Not going to feel guilty about it because my body needed it and as long as its protein I won't be kicked out of ketosis. Funny because I don't normally really like tuna but I...

Yeah a list as long as,my arm saying sorry :)

A list of some of the names I am called by my loved one. All in jest and to encourage me to lose weight I might add. What a load of bull, as if name calling is a justification to aid a loved one to lose weight. Well here goes I'm getting rid of all unwanted waste along with emotions...

Hi corlene and good luck. Sometimes its easier not to let people know it depends on what sort of responses you get and if you are encouraged or discouraged. My husband doesn't even know that I'm doing this. He works shifts which is a help because I've been saying that I've already eaten. He...

Day 4 Went really well, didn't feel hungry at all and quite contented. Made the kids and husband a Thai curry from scratch and although it smelt divine I had no urge to attack it. Feel Like I can do this I really can, for 14 years I've been yo yo dieting up and down on all the different diets...

Thankyou for explanation I just wondered why people were saying it was dangerous for the body but anyhow I'm staying in K as its much more kinder to my body. Xx

Hope not just incase :)

I think I'm in ketosis. My tummy feels contented and I feel much calmer. Yipeee I'm remaining 100% I'm not coming outta ketosis until my CDC says so. Why is it dangerous to be in and out of ketosis? Seen a few comments about it on other threads but no one says what happens? Anyone know?

All sounds Fabio to me, I'm in. Defo wanna feel two stone lighter by my 40th birthday in April. Then the final push for a further two stone by my fabulous Disney world holiday in august. Last time we went 5 years ago I was big and frumpy and so self conscious of myself. Just wanna enjoy my...

Awwww thanks suzy, how long have you been doing it? How much have you lost? X

P.s I laughed my head off when I read your lift story...sorry for laughing :). Eeeek

Omg, have just read your diary from begining to end, can't believe how well you've done, despite the highs and lows of CD you have stuck with it and you are shrinking. What an inspiration. I'm on day 3 and when Im finding it tough I'm gonna read your diary all over again. Its so.good to read...

Well done sammi, what a great start!!!! Next weeks WI will be well over a stone. How cool is that chick.:).

Day 3 over with. Had a good day today, no headache thank god as the one I had last night was a killer. I kept myself busy by painting the bathroom and will carry on with it tomorrow. I'm a foster carer but also run an office cleaning business, trouble is I'm not hands on cleaning no more so...

Hi daisy, yes very achievable as long as you stick to it. I'm on day 3 and have got the same, 4 stone to lose by August. Together we can do this hunni xx

Dw someone will do it??? : cheeky lol

Maybe we could start out own team, there are team rules on another thread, I don't think there are any others but not too sure. If someone nominates to be team captain and work out weekly individual loss percentages and combined team weight loss percent that may be enough as a motivator to keep...

Brilliant, that means we started same day and same ish amount to lose too. My starting weight was 12.8 and this morning I was 12.5... How exciting a challenge. Down the hatch with more water. Yuk

I'm just starting day 3. When's Ur WI? X

Bring it on...hehe :) I've got WI on Monday xx

Day 2 almost over, don't feel hungry at all but have a huge headache, felt like someone is pushing my forehead backwards, horrible feeling. I have taken a couple of paracetamol and will have an early night. Hopefully feel better in the morning. Argh hurts so bad :(

Hi there, I'm on day 2, still feeling really great, haven't felt hungry at all, which is really wired I suppose my will power is driving off hunger pains, I suspect at some stage it will all die out and I will struggle but for now I'm finding it really easy, god it would be great to feel Like...

Thanks Sian, I've been a binge eater for many years. It has got worse since January due to a lot of heartache, my sister gave birth to a Still born baby new years eve, and the little boy I'd fostered since he was a baby got adopted out in January despite me and my family applying to adopt him...

Well day one over with. Felt fantastic all day, very excited to get started and really pleased with myself when I went to bed last night for sticking to it all day. No headache, no hunger pains just sheer determination.
