losemenow - you're a star, well done. Hope the cold is better

:)xsarahloux, you're so funny, and I know exactly what you are saying. Add - crossing your legs, not having to wear baggy tops to hide muffin ;)

Wow, well done LillyLulu - brilliant.

I agree with all of you who like then dislike the products, funny that. I didn't mind most of the soups but not as much now, ok with the chilli and the spicy tomato. Fortunately I also love vanilla, my favourite, and quite a few of the other sweet ones. I love the chocolate, vanilla and...

Yes, just a spoon in either hot or cold vanilla. hope you enjoy

Hope all is going well for everybody.

whoop whoop whoop - excellent, well done you

Wow, Pink - you look fantastic. What a difference a week makes!

Hello everybody, hope you are all well and getting great results. Welcome to all the new starters, you'll do great - stick to it and the results are amazing.

Welcome back Mocha, like somebody said on here - nothing tastes as good as being slim does - not even S&V he he. Good luck you'll soon be back on track and lose the weight.

I don't mind the leek & pot soup - I add black pepper, also I add more hot water than is stated so it's not too thick. I use an electric blender it's brilliant - no lumps. For the sweet ones I always add ice cubes. If I'm cold I'll make them hot - you can add coffee to vanilla.

well done LillyLulu you've done well, if you stick to it you lose around a stone a month.

Personally, I'd take advice best to be sure. If you have to wait a week or two so what, prepare your self in the meantime by reducing carbs. Hope you're ok.

GO FOR IT - ha ha

Well said pbfhpunk. Riot - how's today going for you? Take each minute as it comes, stick to it and you'll be so glad you did at your next WI.

Big welcome and good luck Rockie - if you stick to it you'll get your reward.

Hi Dragondrop, BIG welcome and good luck for Wednesday - GFI. Let us know how you get on.

:welcome:Go for it! good luck. Stick to it and you'll get your reward.

Good luck Riot - if you decide on CD you'll do well and quickly no doubt about that. If you can stick the first few days you'll sail through.

I want to feel good and regain my confidence. I want to be fitter and healthier. Good luck to you all - some great contributions on here.

Pink, you are one fab lady, what a fantastic achievement. You are such an inspiration. Try not to be too impatient with your scar, time will heal. You look fantastic and only you know about your scar nobody can see it when you're dressed and looking fantastic in anything you choose.

Hello H - how are you doing? Hope all going well.

Puddy95, you are doing so well, don't you love the feeling of being in control. Good luck for Thursday weigh-in - when your head is 100% in the right place, you know you'll get a result. Marvellous!

What a fantastic result - very well done

9lbs is a fantastic result. If you stick to it you will get your reward.

Emowyn, what a great idea from Woodland Girl. Good luck, I will watch your progress, if your head is in the right place it will work for you.

Agree with Cheesegirl, we are all different. I hate the porridge, but there again I never enjoyed porridge anyway. Hope you find one you like.

Enjoy the weekend with your sister and well done on your achievement.

How you doing blue*eyes? I'm on day 5, and first day with no headache! Feeling better now. Hope you are ok.

Poo to gallstones! - Hope you're ok. I'm not in any teams either but sounds like a good idea. Hope you are both well. Helen

Witchypoo - how are you doing? Hope all is well with you.

Been for a WI this morning and lost 4lbs - I'm really pleased as I only started on Monday. WooHoo! TBH I need to lose more than 3 more like 4, but I'll see how I go, I think I'll try maintaining then maybe go back for a final loss taking me to Christmas. My first aim is 1.5 stone - that will...

Fantastic, you're doing really well.

Hi B, I want to lose 3 stone. Have done the diet before and, like you, was 100% and lost nearly 5 stone. Unfortunately have put on weight again but pleased to be back. Week 1 going ok so far, weigh-in tomorrow. First goal is to lose 1.5 stone by end Sept when I'm off to Spain for a few days.

Hi LadyB, I think week 3 was when cravings etc lessened and I got more energy, so was looking forward to that. Also the powerful feeling of being 'in control' kicked in. Gemsyo, sounds like you had a lovely time.

LadyB, I'm on day 2 and like you looking forward to day 4 - so I'm just about half way. Next goal is looking forward to end of week 3 :character00255:

Well done on day 2 Gemsyo.

Good luck blue*eyes, I understand you lose approx a stone a month.

Shiny, 18lbs in two weeks is awesome! Diet is worth it and all being well next weigh in should be a good one. I think you are doing great.

Wow Jazzy what a great loss. Good luck Tweed and hope the Atkins diet works for you, I think it must be really difficult when you have 3 kids and you're doing a degree, to do a VLCD.

Spottitchsam, Wishing you all the very best on your diet. What great replies you've had.

Well done for coming back and good luck to you both. Fantastic first week result for you Witchypoo. I'm back too and only into day 2.

:D WooHoo, very well done

Have enjoyed reading your diary Jan, you are doing so fantastically well. Can't wait to hear your results tonight.

Whoop whoop, so very well done you, you must feel and look fantastic. So happy for you and can't wait to join you on slim row.

Good luck Angel.

As well as cleaning your teeth often, try cleaning your tongue too. I use an electric toothbrush and find it works well. I take a soft toothbrush to work and use as needed. Hope this helps.

Wow - how fantastic. Very well done you.

Big welcome to CD, first day over and your journey's started. Stay on it and you will feel fab.

You've done fantastic - well done. As others have said, don't be tempted to compare we are all different. Congratulations on a great loss - not far off a stone!

Wow, your photos are fab - you look amazing. I'm a restart too, on day 7 today and doing ok. Going skiing in March and want to lose at least a stone before then.

Beccabug - you did fantastic - well done you! I knew you were determined.

Not too sure, but I don't count them.

Good luck at Drs and hopefully you'll soon be back on CD. Look forward to seeing you on here.

Beccabug, with such a positive mind you'll do it. 7 pounds already! that's awesome - well done, we'll all be thinking of you and willing you to stay positive

Good luck everybody, hope you are doing well and pleased with fantastic results that CD can give :D

How fantastic, very well done

Haven't heard of it - I have the wii and have done the yoga, hoops & jogging. Sounds good Your Shape - will check it out

Fantastic, well done. 10% in six weeks is fab.

Welcome Nikki and good luck. Well done on half a stone off - great.

:welcome:Good luck with your weight loss.

I've just bought the wii fit but not used it yet. Have always wanted to jog but was never very good. I'll see if I can learn using wii then maybe get out and do it for real. Good luck with the weight loss everybody

Welcome to minimins = this is the place to be, you'll get a lot of support. All the very best

Welcome and all the very best with your weight loss. Happy New Year!

Good luck to you both. Happy New Year

Nikki, you look pretty good to me. I think you have done fantastic and I know you'll achieve your goal. I hope I won't be too long behind you. My first goal is just 2 weeks away (all being well) and then after Christmas I'm setting a new goal which I should achieve by mid/end Feb - I never...

You all look fantastic - well done!

Go on - I dare you to give it a go - you know you want to, stop holding yourself back and just do it. Check out the boards and you'll see that we've all been there, seen it done that. Lots of us thought, no I can never do it - but guess what, we have and look at our success! Your success is...

Wow, what a fab results. Great news.

All good wishes to you newbies, stick to it and you'll get your wonderful rewards.

Well done I hope you get your deserved good result at next weigh-in.

Some very interesting and very worthwhile comments. Just one comment to add, no matter which diet you are on, the yo-yo effect happens - and that's not the result of the diet is it. icemoose - you really do talk a lot of sense i enjoy your posts.

Good on you! You did it and well done. Now you should feel really proud of yourself

Hurrah - what a great start. Fab loss.

Ha Ha, funny and sad too.

Very warm welcome and good luck with the band. You'll do really well - doesn't Fern look fantastic!

That's great Jodie. Good luck! Can't wait to hear how you get on.

Some great responses on here, thank you for some really great information. I love the diet and feel great.

Woohoo! well done. Fantastic start. It's 8lbs btw.

Put the weekend behind you. You have done so well. Good luck.

I'm lucky too. The first couple of weeks I tried to avoid the kitchen and he would get his own meals. n He has give me so much encouragement and compliments me everyday about how great I look. We've been married 30 years this year!

You sound really focused. Eat the salads and try and keep down the alcohol. When you get back get straight back to it and whatever you put on you should lose quickly. Enjoy yourself! Good luck

You'll be ok, it'll settle and just look what you've lost so far. Great result. Well done.

You've done fantastic - my CDC warned me that week 3 on average could be a small loss and mine was 2lb too. Keep going and you'll get the results you want. I brush my tongue with a soft toothbrush and have not been troubled with the bad breath - make sure you brush off the white residue that...

Wonder why she doesn't get them in for you. Those that like oats love the CD porridge. I'm not too keen (one of the very few foods I don't like!!) - but I may give it another go with the toffee & walnut - sounds yum - thanks

A 2lb loss is a 2lb loss - well done you. Don't be disappointed you've done really well and you deserve a big cheer - :talk017:

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your journey

Well done and have a fab time.

That's good news - well done

I've found this thread very amusing. Don't forget though, crossing your legs is supposed to be bad for you!

Good luck with your diet.

Hang in there - you've done so well for 4 weeks. Have a drink of water and go to bed early. Or if you're not sleepy, how about a lovely hot bath with lots of bubbles, and play your favourite music. Bliss! Take care

Welcome back, sounds to me like you're back on track. Stick with it and good luck!

All good wishes for tomorrow.

Well done, how fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic! Well done. Don't get too attached to the trousers - in another 4/6 weeks they will be too big!

sorry to hear about your car - how annoying. I think the reason you are so pleased is that you recognised that you are in total control of your actions. Well done you on that achievement.

So glad you are feeling better. Best to sip throughout the day and evening. Take care

Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations - very best wishes on your engagement. Well done on the WI too - fantastic and now you'll soon be at target. Love the photos.

Abz is right, if your favourite trousers fit - that's what counts. Hang in there and the scales will catch up. 3.8 is a great loss. Well done

Sounds like you are really positive and you'll do it too. Set your targets to lose the weight and then, very importantly, how you are going to work your way through the plans to maintain. Why don't you ask the maintainers on here how they did it? I'm sure you'll get some great advice, and I...

Becky, how scary for you. All the very best on WW - your positive attitude will get you through. All the very best for your house move. take care

What great losses you have had each week so far. Good luck with the new plan. I'll be watching to see how you get on.

Can't see the pics yet - but well done you, what a fantastic achievement. Enjoy a great holiday

Welcome and all good wishes for your weight loss - and the great thing about CD is - you know you'll do it. :)

Welcome to a great forum, with the support you get on here you'll do it this time. Good luck

I like a few of the products - I have my first helping at lunchtime - usually either a caramel, chocolate or orange bar (love the orange). Then when I get home, a soup - vegetable is my favourite, but I'll have oriental, leek & potato, chicken & Mushroom. Then either a vanilla (fav), choc, mint...

:whip::whoopass: - give em one of these! Poor you, hang in there.

:clap: Excellent, well done you

OMG! how wonderful you all look. FANTASTIC.

Hurrah! well done you :D:D. For the breath thing - try brushing your tongue with a soft toothbrush - it works for me and I've not been troubled - do it twice a day

Some great advice here. I do the same, I tell myself I can have whatever I want if i want it, but I choose not to - so I don't feel deprived or I'm missing out on anything - then I see how much I've lost and know I'm in control of myself - it's a great feeling. Set small achieveable targets...

Dear Kerry_berry - I do apologise :o, it was Mary Poppins photo I meant to reply to - she looks fantastic and maintaining too, very inspiring :D. Kerry-berry i'm sure you too look fantastic :D:D.

how fantastic do you look - wow!

Move on. New day today,you'll be fine.

What an achievement, what a fantastic lady you are. Congratulations you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you

Don't be hard on yourself, you are here because you have what it takes. Believe in yourself, success will follow.

Thanks for the tips Flirty40greeneyes, it will be a few months yet before I start the plans (January I hope) and have already started to look at what people do, as I definitely want to maintain when I get to goal. I don't want to go back to the way I was.

Thank you for starting this thread, and to all who have responded. It was just what I needed to read and make me do something about my own problem. Have just phoned my GP and have an appointment tomorrow to check my knees out. Thank you everybody :wave_cry:

Good luck Nic Noc.

That 'switch' in your head - it took me years to find it again - and now it's firmly on - it's the 'I'm in control switch' and I love it :cool:. It's making choices and taking control of yourself and what you do. Well done Lostris and Yasmin-Samara - you can do it

Hi Sam and welcome to minimins - you'll get all the support on here you could wish for - all hours of the day. All the very best with your diet. Your bike will be really great to tone and keep you fit. Just wait till they see the new you when you go home to Wales. Good luck!:)

Hi Yasmine, we're all here because we are all the same, we're on a journey and we have lots of support and encouragement from each other - in 10 weeks I have lost 3 stone and 3 lbs and I feel fantastic :D - like a new person. The diet works - it really does. Good luck, can't wait to hear...

I've had to take my wedding and engagement ring off as I am afraid I will lose them! When I'm at goal I will have them made smaller. Is it worth it - YEH!!

First few days are the worst. Hang in there and success will be yours. I use a hand blender and it mixes the shakes really well. Add ice cubes to the sweet ones - they are lovely. All good wishes

Wow! fantastic results, well done you.

How fantastic - well done you! LOL

Good luck yasmine-samara, set your mind to it, and take it a step at a time. Set small achieveable targets and you will get your reward. I'm on CD - and love most of the products! I use a hand blender to mix the shakes, I add ice and crush it to the sweet ones. Tetras frozen, and taken out...
