Well i did the stone, 15lbs actually but then i ate.... And couldnt stop for 5 days, felt sooo down and my lovely friend invited me up to hers for the weekend and we got back on the diet yesterday. Feeling much better in myself that i have managed to get back on track although I had put on...

Brilliant!! Ketosis is the most amazing thing isn't it! i am on day 12 and really can't believe i have managaed to stick to it. Just the thought of those really hard first few days is enough to keep me going right now, I don't want to fall off the wagon and have to go through that again...

Managed to get back on and another 2lbs off!! 1 more lb and that is the first stone!! Don't feel so bad now about having a bit of chicken every now and again if I really need it.

Day 9.. cracked.... had some chicken tikka pieces and a few bites of poppadom... I was doing so well, I could really kick myself. 11 lbs lost the scales said and now I've gone and blown it, Sooo annoyed. I'm getting back on it tomorrow. I stopped myself from eating anymore tonight (my...

Ahhh thanks everyone!! I did stay strong and it so lovely to hear all those positive comments! Bigmatt you are so funny! Can't believe you have made such big life changes though, good for you! Had a good day today 3 shakes but only 1.5 litres of water so far.. have had 3 cups of tea, not...

Wow, you look like you have lost 10 years in 10 weeks! You look so different! Really inspirational, thanks for posting them xx

Day 7, back to work today and I have been craving chocolate and biscuits all day.... Maybe I associate those things with work or maybe it is work that prompts me to eat them. Yet to work that one out. Plus I am freeeeeeezing but hopefully that means i am in ketosis.

Good Luck Zoe! Fantastic reason to lose weight, a real motivator, I'm sure you can do it xx

Hi Bella, I'm doing Cambridge and i started last week. First few days very hard but getting easier now and the weight is coming off! I'm an all or nothing girl, if I eat, i binge... So it is much easier for me to just replace all normal food while i lose weight and try and work out why i...

2st 5lbs in 7 weeks!!!!! That is truly amazing!! Our stats are quite similar, i'm 5'3" and 215lbs when i started last week. Now 205lbs. Hope I do as well as you! Keep going you can do it xxx

Xmas and New Year must be the hardest time to do CD, everyone indulges so a 5.7lb gain really isnt bad. Imagine if you'd put that on without having done Cd, you would be 15stone! I'm down to your start weight now, loss of 9lbs this morning (!!!) so I am 14st 9lbs. Can't wait to get to your...

Hi Sarah, Yes i feel it is going to plan finally! I have be trying to get on it for months now and only managing until 4pm on day one and then binging... I actually managed 2 days in November and then binged so this is totally amazing for me being on day 6! Think i am in ketosis as not...

OMG Day 6, i stood on the scales this morning and I have lost 10lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo pleased. My trousers feel comfortable and my tummy has really gone down - as there is nothing in it i suppose! I felt quite constipated yesterday so I took 1 ducolax last night and was up about 3...

Hi Bella, would love to have a buddy! I am 5'3 and have 5 stone to lose so pretty similar really. I'm taking my children to isle of Wight in April and just really want to go in the pool with them ( i usually sit on the side fully clothed!) So i am aiming to be 3 stone lighter by then...

Good luck Sarah! I was speaking to my CDC today and she said i could have water flavouring from the first week - i am really struggling with so much water on its own. i also got bars today which I will start tomorrow (day 6) My CDC said that most of her clients start bars straight away and...

Wahoo!! Well done Claire! Amazing you have achieved all of those things in one month and in December as well!!! That has to be the hardest month to diet. Happy New Year! xx

Day 5 today and I am feeling so much better. Did have some chicken last night so i am not sure if that is why. Tummy is rumbling tonight but i have managed all my water and I'm just going to sleep the rumbles off!

You are going to think i am mad but I have just sat and read your whole diary for 2 hours!! On New Years Eve as well but as I am on day 3 of CD I didnt want to go out and be tempted by anything (plus I don't have anything to wear!!) Your diary is truly inspiring and all the lovely friends...

Hi Bella, I totally relate to what you have said. I have stopped going out completely (apart from work). I am single too and would love to meet someone and staying in is not going to help that! I am the biggest I have ever been and the more depressed I get the more I eat! Such a vicious...

Hi Julie, 4 stone in 4 months is amazing! Maintaining must be really difficult, just as difficult as the diet I would imagine. I have 5 stone to lose but to get 3 off would be like heaven. Can't imagine SS for 4 months, what was it like? Did it feel like years? I know 4 months goes...

Wow!!! I have just read all of your diary and it is brilliant, so inspirational! I had my fingers crossed all the way through to see if you got into the 11 stones by Christmas and you did! I am amazed at how quickly it has happened but I know it feels slow whilst you are doing it. I am...

I can't believe my last post on here was over 2 years ago! That was the last time I tried CD. Lost a stone or so and have now put it back on.. Really determined this time though as I am nearing 40 and just desperate to be at goal by then. I'm on day 2 of CD and struggling through headaches...

You are doing so well, keep up the good work! I am on day 2 with 70lbs to lose.... Struggling already, felt really sick earlier and terrible, terrible headache. Still, being so fat feels worse so i have got to get used to it! Cheryl xx

Big need to reply, that is fantastic!!!! Cant wait to be overweight lol!

I'd rather have a saggy bum than a fat bum lol! It'll reshape itself i'm sure, maybe need to do a few toning exercises? Well done on your weight loss though xxxxxxxxx

Hi Bluegirl and Hi everyone, thanks all for all your lovely support, it's so reassuring to know i'm not alone with this. I was doing brilliantly today until 7pm when i thought id go and just sniff the cheese in the fridge...... then i ate some... Only a little, so i am not as upset as last...

Onwards and upwards! Maybe your monthly cycle has been affecting your weightloss do you think? I'm always starving when my period is due and retain water like a dam!

Thank you so much all of you, i really needed some support! Bluegirl that must have been awful and if you havent given up then meither will i!! Let me know how you get on x

You are right, i feel so angry with myself and i have cried and cried but what good is that going to do me? Only i can get this fat off and i have got to do it for my health, my self esteem, my children... I'm going to get my shakes out for tomorrow and start again. Thank you Airgirl xxx

Congratulations, that is amazing xx

I ate tonight, i just couldnt stop myself it was like i was posessed. My tummy hurts and all i can do is cry. This is my 3rd CD week and now i've ruined it. I admire you all so so much for sticking to this. What is wrong with me?? My period is due on Monday, could that be why i had...

Such an inspiring thread. I never want my thighs to bleed again because they are rubbing together.

Congratulations!! That is brilliant. I lost 1 stone in 3 weeks but i have stayed the same now for 5 days.... i hope my loss speeds up a bit!

I know exactly what you mean! 4pm is my worst time too! That is why i have logged on here today, trying to take my mind off it. I have been forcing myself to have a tetra at 4 when really alll i want to do is raid the fridge. Be strong, we are intelligent women, we can beat this!!

I'd like to join in too, had a blip today and need to start again. Glad i'm not the only one!

Hi everyone, Starting my 3rd week of SS today and i have eaten..... I just couldnt help it and i feel so so so so so angry with myself. Im going to have to go through all the headaches and everything all over again. Think i'm going to cry...

You are all such an inspiration!! I have never been smaller than a 14 i can't imagine the feeling, roll on another 2 months!

Excellent, thank you Beverley x

That is amazing, you look wonderful. Did you exercise at all as your skin doesnt look like you were ever overweight?

Only a teaspoon a day....... oh no. I have about 2-3 teaspoons a day. I'm definitely in ketosis though and have lost 11 ponds in 11 days. I am tempted to just carry on with the flavouring as i hate water and have been doing it since day 1. It wont make me ill though will it??

Hi, Someone mentioned earlier about limiting water flavouring? I am on day 11. My CDC has never said to limit the flavouring. Can someone tell me why you need to limit it? My CDC is great though just for the record! Really sweet and nothing is too much trouble for her.

Hi, I started on 1st September and would love to lose loads before the end of the month but i have no idea what the average per month is. I have lost 11 pounds in 11 days so far and im ecstatic!! I presume it will slow down though??

Hi Hezz, Matalan has a good range and Mark One as well, both are quite cheap. Hope you have those shops near you!

I subscribed to them and found that i couldnt get them to stay on, i'd find them in my bra or something!! I tried to stop the subscription but they keep sending them and billing me....!

Hi Nessa, I couldnt stick to the one shake a day, i had to go sole source so that ketosis kicked in, that got rid of the hunger - well helped a lot anyway!

Congratulations! I have about the same to lose as you stinkabell, lost 9lbs in first week on week 2 now.... so hard! Cheryl
