Blimey!!!!!!!!!!!! Pops that is awesome!! you must be walking on air well done for you!! :D

Fingers crossed for you for a quick sale. You getting on ok? Week 5 for me and lost only a 1lb last Tuesday weigh in. Did expect a tiny one - to much info coming up - but I am def. constipated. Got Cambridge fibre now put into porridge but have to take laxatives to 'get it going' - Did warn you...

Hi, Ive answered on KittyCat's posts. x

Nice to see you back CeeBoo, Your nephew is sooooo cute!! Chubby cheeks you've got to squidge.. lovely. Don't worry about your blip, it was a trying time for you not fun at all. Still, alose is that, a lose. Good Luck with the sale of house, got any offers yet? Dawn

Hope your shift went well Anne, Another week, another weight worries /losses /gains etc lol.....and here we go again. ive got weigh in tom. but not expecting any lose due to loo problems. (not gone for a week! ) to much info but will talk to consultant tomorrow evening, she said if its not...

Kc, How was all your travelling??? Did you stick 100% ? Dawn

CeeBoo, How are you?? You seem to have been quiet?

Thanks Pops. I know it's a little achievement but it's the right way! I am hoping it will be looser but honestly, it's really comfy and I'll be able to wear it all day and night! Next step size 16!

Hi CeeBoo, How you getting on this week?? I just tried on a size 18 dress I've got in wardrobe. It wouldn't do up few weeks ago now I'm going to wear it for Rebecca s 18th surprise birthday next Sat (daughter) It actually fits and feels ok!!!

Just tried a size 18 dress I had in wardrobe. A few weeks ago I tried and NO way was that zip going all the way up!! Today......I can do it up. it feels comfy (so I can sit/walk breathe!!) and am going to wear it next Saturday for my daughter's 18th surprise birthday party!!!!!! It's an 18...

Kara, Hope you have you motivation back now and look forward to loosing more weight. Im on week 4 feel good, having a work get together tonight, that will be tough but I'll be fine - Im gonna make sure I am not spoiling all my hard work so far for some cold quiche and crisps !! lol

And when I read the post I got a bit of JEALOUSY coming through from your friend? X

mdhg. Kiwi IS totally right. Ditto to all she says. I used to get on the scales far too many times. They are now at my Mum and Dads so I cant! Since I got rid of them I stopped worrying coz I had nothing to worry about - had to wait to see consultant. Good Luck, you're only on your first part...

Hi Kc Be bloody careful with the extra Vitamin C love, I haven't a clue about it but not sure if it's good for you to overdose. If the test etc for your periods have come up with nothing why don't you just go with it? You are going to be knackered with all that travelling through time lines...

Its horrible aint it? But it is a lot when you look at it. Its hot hot hot here in sunny Hastings, had to sit in shade during lunchtime. Still, this weather I don't think of food at all.

CeeBoo, That's only 1 pound!! You 'lost' 4! although you didn't loose it you got rid! xx

Sorry to hear you're not feeling 100% . Be strong Genie, not easy I know, but maybe this little hiccup will help you in the future. Should your 'friend' try to help you again and feed you pizza etc, remember how you feel now and all the hard work you have put in already. X There's lots of...

thanks Kc, I've been spoilt now, want losses like that every week.lol I know it wont be but yes I am chuffed and it has given me a real boost. Im sure if you put your products in your luggage not hand luggage it will be ok. When do you go??

with all the products you're using your bit should look good lol....I'm quiet positive and been watching the you tube posts. real inspirational. Cant wait to fit into my 16s properly, but shouldn't be too long. Have a lovely relax, didn't realise the time. Its well past my bedtime!

I know CeeBoo, Just posted on another thread to you ;) Please try not to be too disheartened. Tomorrow is another day and will look different in the morning. Next week starting tom, is just that, another week. So let's concentrate on that and not the disappointment you feel - However, you...

CeeBoo, 6 inches aint a bad lose! understand you're a bit miffed but 4lbs off has got to be better than on! Week 2 coming up, keep going - I know you will - and lets see what happens next week. XX

Fantastic Genie, Well Done, bet you're pleased with that result!!! I've got 3 tattoos, had them done before all this weight came my way! Had tinkerbell arms folded on ankle, went back the next week and had Tinkerbell taking her dress off on bum, then 2 weeks later had a long one across bottom...

Love reading your posts Chartreuse, Im on week 4 want to go to week 12 if I can then go and do another 6 like you. Reading your worries (I know Im not there yet but think the same as you) I love the responses you've had and Good Luck for the next 6 weeks.

Pops, I lost 8lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: That's 1 stone and 4 pound in 3 weeks!! Couldn't wait to update my signature on here!!!!! Really chuffed with that, CeeBoo, your weigh in is a bit later isn't it???

My 3rd week Liz. I had a couple of bars on the 2nd but don't think they agreed with me so just had porridge and soups this week and the obligatory water - I drink a good 4-5 litres during the day and 3 black coffees. So, will carry on this week the same. Don't expect the same results every week...

Krazzed, I am I know Ive a long way but its going the right way. Was in the 16 stones, now in the 14 stones (only just yes) but I'm in there!!!!

Just had weigh in ......8lbs off!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO HAPPY!!:D Got back in the car and said out loud 'well done me' must have looked mad to others around - don't care -!!!! LOL

I was gonna say about the bars too CeeBoo, Also, maybe flavoured water to stop any boredom? Got my 3rd weigh in today. 2 hors to go in fact. Not drinking anything now until then lol as if that will make such a difference. Will report back later either happy or fed up!

Fingers crossed no side effects XX

Welcome Claireboo, This is my 3rd week and I would advice, just to try the products you fancy. I only have the porridges and soups, don't like the rest. But its a very personal taste. Have a lovely birthday and Good Luck for your journey. There are some great posts on here and brilliant...

Thank you Tammy, Just wondered really, I like the steps on CWp Im hoping that I will re learn how to portion control and how much I actually need to eat.

I agree with minecraftmum, You will be very conscience of what you're putting in your mouth, so enjoy yourself. have a good laugh and good time, and the weight on won't be half as bad as it would have been not being on CWP.

Might try that Pops. I'm not too bad drinking it though, got a litre bottle full up next to me at all times. Easier at work tbh.

Im sure it will be Im like you doing this 100% water coming out of my ears!!! lol

I did that too pops, I lost 6lbs then the second 4lbs. Now I was upset because like you I red lots of post and people loosing more but I had lots of comments...10lbs in 2 weeks isn't bad. My next weigh in is Tuesday. I know I shouldn't but just weighed myself and only lost 2lbs!! I know its...

My Sunday is ok but a bit gutted.........Got Mum a helicopter ride over London for her birthday and we're supposed to go today, but got a phone call saying all flights are off because of foggy weather and we will rebook. Looking forward to that! and I planned completely food wise. Hot water...

CeeBoo, Do take a look , there are loads, but all good, the guy on there has a 12 week himself and like Ive said he does talk a lot of sense. Not on ss or ss+ forever its a matter ofweeks so come on!!! It took a lot longer putting weigh on.

Reading all these posts can I say that LizzRob has posted umpteen posts and comments not just on this thread but lots of others (I read a lot!) and she has been nothing but supportive and I've taken some advice even if she doesn't even know I've read. Maybe you read her post in a different tone...

I've just googled Exante as I've never heard of it before. So, it's just the same as CWP with more products and cheaper?? I'm happy with CWP and don't want to change. Its only week 3 for me and am determined to stay and loose weight, but if it's so good, why hasn't CWP got more products like...

Forgot to say, the you tube posts are brilliant and really focused Duel Dynamics . He talks sense and like he says its not forever, just weeks. I really do like watching them. Recommend to anyone. Funny, you see how the woman sit when they first start - hands clasped infront, trying to 'hide'...

Agree with previous help also, remember why you are doing this and its not forever just to get the weigh down, by then you will be eating sensibly . Good Luck x

Tracy, Wine....I remember that.....had Mum & Dad round tonight, we all get together on a Friday to play cards. Usually lots of goody treats (potatoes skins, deep fried prawns, olives etc etc etc) you get the idea. and lots of red wine. They all had them but I had a litre bottle full of...

Hiya Kittycat, Glad the tests were all ok, just got to sort the stress part out. I do believe getting that sorted will be half the battle for the comfort food. Look after yourself on the inside first, (work / life balance) then the outside will change.XX Lots of us here can most certainly...

Anne, Lol, bet you enjoyed it though. Did you feel completely bloated though after not eating a lot? Get back on the wagon , it shouldn't be too bad, not as bad as you think - reading others on here - they never put on as much as they think.x

Hi Tracy, Thanks for welcome, Do hope your daughter is ok, not much fun having to be in hospital for you or her. Im on week 3 of ss and going well, Im planning to be on ss for 8 weeks then see if I can go to 12 weeks on it. Ive got small goals although like the rest of us want to loose lots...

Liz, it maybe coz you're so near to your goal, its harder (apparently) to shift the last, and doing lots of exercise your body must be changing for the better. You've come so far, don't give up or be down about it. x

Hi Kittycat, How are you ?

Well Done Pops78. First of many losses!!!

Next weekend sound quiet exciting. Not sure if ride will be put off this weekend, its pouring down here and forecast isn't too good, but you never know they do get it wrong sometimes. It will just be for another day. Are you going to try not to go too mad next weekend with eating or are you...

Agree with you minecraftmum, Ive put on my goal weight is about 4 ish stone but if I loose 3 , feel good , feel I look good in clothes, then that will do me. The result I want is for ME to be happy and fit into off the peg and sale clothes. Not ones that fit, put up with it type clothes!

Just watched it... It's good! More guts than me putting myself out there lol I thinks its a great idea though, lots will beable to relate to it. Keep us updated when you post each week. I'm interested to seeing it :)

I tend to have my 1st at lunchtime (between 12 and 1) then next at 5ish...then save the last one til about 8.30. This helps me keep full up all night and I stop drinking about same time (8.30) and haven't had to get up middle of the night. Not sure if this helps but thought I'd share.x...

Hi Boo, Im good thanks and well done another great lose. We're suppose to be on a helicopter ride over London on Sunday (if weather ok ) SO its a long day out . Im taking a flask of hot water and 2 soups so I wont be tempted nor hungry. Every one else is getting a picnic or something out...

Evening Ladies, Reading all the post we all seem to be in the same boat. tried most diets? Not stuck for long - me anyway. Im on week 3 and finding it fine, not hungry nor tempted even though my daughter is cooking and eating gorgeous smelling goodies. I did find week 2 a lot bloody harder...

I love your idea about colouring the hearts.x

That's right, that why I like the post its. Funny I looked at them again today. Did you post your diary on you tube?? My long term time as it were is Christmas. I really want to buy something nice dress maybe that shows off my new body. Im hoping by then I would have lost my weight but also...

I will give up as before if I look at the whole amount I want t loose. The manageable goals I can achieve. Ive got about 4 stone to loose (cant remember exactly) but not worried about it now. Stone at a time, Weigh in at a time, Day at a time, That's how Im looking at it. Its going to get...

That does pass honest. I didn't really believe it but its true. Week 3 for me and Ive past a beautiful chip shop today and yes smelt gorgeous and my daughter has bought fresh cake to eat and cooking her dinner. Lovely smells, looks lovely but I don't fancy it, Ive had my soup and have to have 2...

That's Brilliant news, never seeing 12 stone something again! Good idea to add a few more calories for hectic time. X Well Done:clap:

Ive already booked her for Christmas when I will be drinking a bit then!! She doesn't drink - half a glass of wine is enough for her - (def. doesn't take after me) So there is a bonus!! Cant wait to 1) Fit in my clothes properly - no muffin tops - YUCK! then 2) Fit into a...

Im looking at car insurance or my daughter to be on my ins. (learning to drive so wont be long before she passes) Its around £20 per month at the mo with her added £125!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek: I CANT AFFORD TO EAT AND DRIVE!! lol Bloody rip off. So I have to stay on the diet now, like it or...

Cee, I haven't tried this diet before although a couple of friends have lost 4 and 5 stone on it because it was too expensive. However, after thinking Ive got to do something about this weigh I have actually saved money on this. Daughter has to eat of course but I haven't popped into asda for...

Well, we're all here for one reason Cee, Im going to take your consultants words of wisdom...today is fine - I am lucky in my daughter gets her own dinners now (good girl lol) and so I haven't been tempted. Yest and today, the smells of garlic bread, pizza, chilli etc smel lovely but I really...

Welcome CeeBoo, this is my first day of Week 3. I found week 1 fine, however, week 2 for about 3 days I found the hardest!!! Good Luck ad keep reading posts and looking at the before / after pictures, they are all really helping me to start tis journey.x :)

You've been through a hell of a lot so far, just re read what you've written and see how strong you really are! Don't forget that nor forget you are changing for yourself not for anyone to question or ask about your weight. On the jealous side....good luck with your man. Def. agree with Pops...

WOW! :eek: Well done. Bet you feel good about that!

Boo, Read this post after the last. I know when your weigh in Good Luck for that. It must be more difficult with baby. Hope injections go ok. Let us know how you get on x

Thanks Boo. Another week ahead for us all. When is your weigh in? Have you been good?

Well, on the way down. And 10lbs is quiet heavy. Thanks Minecraft

Thanks Eek. Ive calmed down a bit now and don't feel so deflated . 10lbs in 2 weeks cant be bad only 4 more its a stone - so on target for a stone a month. My consultant had weights and put 10lbs on my hands! it only seems a little bit but my golly!! it was heavy!!! So, onwards I go. Week 3...

I think Liz, Im impatient. I know I cant loose this weigh overnight, it take a while to get like this. No, I have and keep looking at it and its only 4lbs off a stone and its only been 2 weeks, So Ive told myself to wind me neck in and just get on with it ! lol Thank you

Well, Im not having bars again for 2 weeks - not sure but only 4lbs off this week and I have been 100% on it!!! Only got 4lbs to go and a stone off so as long as it's within 2 weeks that will be a stone a month.

Well, weigh in and lost 4lbs ! Not as much as I was hoping, Not having bars for 2 weeks see if this helps? Still, not giving up and its 10lbs total so if in week 3 & 4 I can loose 4lbs it will be a stone in a month. I am More determined with this diet than another I will NOT give up. Thanks -...

Well Done!! Excellent lose

Glad your skin's looking good but do be careful in the bath!! lol Could be a sight LOL I had the peanut and malt bars they are lush!!! BUT... I did have a slight runny tummy (sorry too much info) but I didn't feel ill and it only happened once. Wouldn't put me off at all, however, just had...

Morning Tracy and Anne, Hope you don't mind me putting my two pennies worth in but my daughter is 18 in the 24th July and I still have my baby weight!!!! :8855: Who am I trying to kid a?? But 2nd week (weigh in today) but hoping for some quick results and to keep it off this time!! Anyway...

I'm with you boo, I need to see results fast to keep me going. Like most of us been on SW,WW even had hypnosis for gastric band, nothing has worked long term With this Im looking forward to the long term re educating myself, I know what Im supposed to do / eat etc but don't. GOod Luck with...

Well looking at what can actually be achieved it does give you the kick up the bottom x

You're on your second week Minecraft? How you finding it this week? I'll be glad of tom night's weigh in to be honest.

I didn't have any stix either pops. I cant stand shakes on or off diet, so Im going to live on soup (not all flavours) Porridge and bars. Im ok with that as long as this weight comes off!!!!!

Good today thanks. Last thurs, fri and sat - OH dear not good. I didn't cheat or fall off wagon but boy, they were hard. I am finding this week harder than first. My daughter cooked herself pizza and garlic bread...smells gorgeous, with me in living room having rice pudding. Not my fav and...

oooo...I do hope so. I did think that the ketosis thing was the big thing but suppose yeah, Im eating a fraction of calories I was a few weeks ago. My tummy didn't seem too happy a few hours after I had the bar (any of them) and had to go to loo quickly, - sorry for lowering tone- But the...

Me too. Wish I knew then what I know now!! We'd all be millionaires if we could go back lol

Hi Maggie., How are you getting on? Dawn

Hi Sophie, Naughty Mummy ! lol.......I have found this my second week bloody hard!!! My consultant said I could have a bar from Saturday but I had on Thursday. Now, I don't know if I've said this before - forgive me - its on my mind.....By doing that could I have taken myself out of ketosis...

Of course its still worth it. We've have got to feel better loosing the extra weight we have, that's with ourselves also, using the steps, I looking forward to re educating myself portion size etc. It's not easy for anyone otherwise none of us would have to be on a forum like this and on CWP...

Positive attitude I think is really important! Keep going girls. 2nd Week for me and I'll be honest this week is harder than last. Will hang in there. Cant wait for Tuesday - weigh in number 2

I can definitely testify to that (posh words for me) Coz after I read Julie's post, the craving's gone now!! Maybe Im just going nuts, don't mind as long as Im smaller at the end of it. Thank you for reply. Silly things really but seem big at the time. :o

Julie, Thank you SO MUCH! Im sitting here (just had another) and for the first time in a week or so feel hungry. I think I convinced myself I've blown it and kept thinking of the food out side in the kitchen! No, wont go out there, especially if Im ok. Thanks again, put my mind to rest. Dawn

How you getting on Eek??

I've posted this on another post but......Can you get out of ketosis by having a bar on the 2nd week? My consultant says Im in ketosis (fruity breath) and so I can have a bar on sat (yesterday) However, last Thursday Iwas so so so desperate and needed real food I had one then, fri and sat. -...

OOhhh that will be gorgeous! Lovely thing to do and to have a look around Harrods. I know the numbers are going up. Thing is, I reckon maybe 10 are friends, the rest cousins, kids of cousins, aunts and uncles. Oh well. Only 18 once! lol

Thank you, had a recount this weekend with Mum and Dad.....53 so far coming.LOL:eek: But will be fun and a test!

Pops78, We're all here for same reason, stick with it I am on week 2 and to be honest Im finding this week harder than week 1. No doubt because I was expecting week 1 to be difficult? Reading the posts and looking at pictures has helped me though,

Well Done! Not bad a? Your measurements (original ones) are same as mine. So hopefully in 2 weeks (which will make 4 in total) I will see some difference. By the way, does anyone know if having a bar on your 2nd day of 2nd week can take you out of ketosis???? My consultant said she is def. I...

Robyn Well done you!! I think I am lucky as I don't have to do anyone's dinner etc. My daughter does her own, and she cleans up! So result in 2 ways there. 18lbs is a great lose so far.

No, Her birthday isn't til the 24th and party on the 26th. To be honest, it was only going to be about 6 of us, I was talking to Mum and Dad, then few of my cousins it is now up to 50!!!!! :eek: But we're looking forward to it we love a party, It will be tough going on the night coz I (like...

Sparkles, Now that is a test, chips, salt and vinegar .....torture a bit like bacon frying!!! Good for you not to cave in!

Thanks, feel ok today, having hair done, planning daughters 18th birthday - having a surprise party for her with family (we have a lot) . I am very lucky coz Mum & Dad are doing the food and drink, and Im doing the decorating making and doing everything else. So, although I am saying what food...

I think Ive put this in another post but I really wanted to grab something from kitchen yesterday but had a bar and it was 'real' food. It really did help me. Hang in there, we're all in the same big boat, we will all be in a smaller one soon. lol :)

Glad you have had a good day....Mine has been ok too. Yesterday I found myself really really craving food - I wasn't hungry but wanted food - Had a bar and was fine (ish) but today a little better. I am so determined not to give up on this diet . Looked side wards in mirror again earlier in...

Tiggemma has nailed the taste on the head there. they are lush...

I have just googled it - getting paranoid - Yeah it looks like if you drink slowly and steady you are ok, not all in one go as you say. Good. Thankyou

I'll give a go the weekend - when Im at home lol. I'm loving everything else except the shakes - cant bare them. But, still only the start of this very long journey..

Does anyone know how much is too much water????? I do drink a lot anyway but have this litre bottle with me at nearly all times and just fill it back up when empty. I drank 5 litres today and its only 4.30pm......Not intentionally just keep sipping and its going. Don't want to do damage...

Well Done Robyn, That's a good weight gone. I like seeing the ticker go down (sad I know) I liked doing my first lose on it. It's going to take time to shift this lot off me but I really do feel poo with clothes / weather etc all the usual we all feel. X Let's keep going!! :)

Liz - Im on day 4 week 2....Did you do SS all the 12 weeks? Tigg - Oh dear...maybe I wont try 2??:confused: Don't fancy that.

I can see loads of difference in them!!! Brilliant loses and like us all a long journey even if it's up hill at times. Well Done so far x

Thanks Liz, Ive only had the peanut one but bloody loved it!!! A real food in my hand lol . but I will try the mint one. Its all psychological isn't it? Im not hungry yet crave holding food or having a plate? It's either that or I am going slightly mad.....

Thank you both, I will ask my consultant on Tuesday coz I ve only the choc ones. To be honest, I've found drinking the water really easy, having a litre bottle next to me at all times and drinking without thinking - instead of eating - so that's no bad thing.

8541, Brilliant losses, should be pleased with yourself.....Only on week 2 and finding a bit difficult with no real food, however had my first bar tonight and lovely it was! Can I have more than 1 bar a day? Imean 2 bars and 1 soup??? Well Done 8541 for your journey so far x

Hi Everyone, On my 2nd week but umpteenth diet......So far so good but like many other I will definitely be needing advice and support. I do like reading all the post though. A question.....Just tried my 1st bar, loving it!! Can you have more than one a day? I mean, breakfast=bar, lunch=bar...

Thanks and good for you!!! Im half way trying a peanut crunch bar.....ooooohhhh likey likey!!! Its REAL food!! Agree with all your list - that's how I cant wait to feel - although difficult with the husband bit - haven't got one - maybe after my weight has gone, I will feel up to looking...

Looking forward to having to chew something to be honest. The thing I am finding hard is not having real food in hands / plate. Sorry if I've mentioned it befire but I think this is going to be my challenge, not the not eating bit.

Oh Sophie, What great news! Can not wait to got to the 1 stone gone! Are you thinking of becoming a consultant? Bet its rewarding ;)

Absolutely inspirational! Thank you for posting, Do you mind me asking, what step or steps have you been on? Im just on my 2nd week of ss. thanks Dawn :)

Hi Cosy Giraffe, I'm new to the forum thingy so don't worry it does get a bit easier once you have a 'click' around. This is my 1st day on my second week. Lost 6lb first week so happy with that. It's now I feel the long road starts, I seem lucky and didn't have headaches nor bad breath but...

Kittycat, Brave old you!! you are fighting it hard.......Had first weigh in and lost first 6lb! Happy with that but am finding it hard not having anything in my hand to munch!! but I can have a bar from sat my cdc says. looking forward to that. Glad you feel better . ;)

First weigh in today................6lbs lighter than I was this time last week!! I am chuffed.! :) Just got to keep it up and then I'm sorted in a number of months. Took a lot longer to put all this weigh and ugly feeling on but it's going, and not coming back!

Well, Kittycat, at least to didnt go and get the olives, french bread, butter and other friends of the cheese to join it!! Chin up - You didnt do too much harm I'm sure and back on tracck now so onwards we go!!

WOW....didnt know any of that. I also thought the band was round the top bit of stomach, then you couldnt eat as much. Bugger that! LOL :o

1st weigh in tomorrow at 2.45 ! I have tried the shales you make up - YUCK!! - but to be honest I've never liked milkshakes but thought I'd try these. So not sure if I'd like the ready made ones either. Loving the soup, porridge and rice pud .

Hi Feebee, This is day 6 of week one for me. I know what you mean, but what I've seem to do is drink gallons of water (sparkling seems to fill me up !) and herbal tea in evenings. Anyone eating I have actually moved myself away and done another job or just moved from the room for a little...

Hello Sharon, You did it once so you can do it again! This is my first attempt in this diet and first weigh in tom. so fingers crossed. Finding it ok, although I have picked a rough week to start, lots of free food, drinks, sweets and treats at work. BUT I have been very good (never before)...

Agreed formyson, I can't wait to try nice clothes on and the sale clothes!! and now shoes too, I'm on my first weigh with weigh in tom. Feel confident and haven't cheated but have missed 2 products out the last 2 days ( didn't realise the time/ busy / then late when I got in) So, hopefully...

Hi Sophie, I'm in the right mind set at the mo, so all good so far. But I know its wrong but 2 days Ive only managed to have 2 products, I've been out and drinking lots of water and by the time Ive got home its late so had a porridge then its bed time. Cant eat 2 in a row. NOt intentionally...

Thanks Lizz, Yes that's what I've been trying to put together, lists of things to do or a stroll round the block things like that. Its a change of life really a? Not popping into asda or Tesco for a bottle of wine or some 'bits' saving me money so far.! Dawn

Hi to all, I'm on day 5. Feel ok, mind in the right place at the moment. So I'm confident and love reading the comments and posts to give me encouragement. Is it normal to feel odd not having any 'physical' food?? what I mean is I have nothing to hold and eat. I'm finding that odd. also...

Diamond, To be honest, when I faced the goodies and when my tummy was rumbling, I just kept reminding myself of all the posts and comments I've read with people saying it's hard but bare with it etc.......I am in the frame of mind (at the mo) that I'm sick and tired of feeling fat, awkward and...

kittycat, You are attacking from all sides! I know what you mean about the bottom of tummy, I think mine maybe flobby and flabby when I've lost this weight but if that's what Ive got to worry about but can get into a normal size clothes , I'll take it. Will try all the gizmos, exercises...

I didn't realise you actually loose shoe size too!!!!! Suppose it make sense though. OOhhhhh Got to keep on track just to buy more shoes!! :)

'Food' for thought this. Quiet interesting. I wouldn't be having 1....coz my 1 always ends up another 1, and another1 etc etc... so I'd rather have none and drive then there's no temptation.

would like find that out too tlbanks, only in first week but would be good to know when Im allowed to have them.:)

These before / during / after pictures are really giving me hope that this time I can loose and keep weight off! Only on day 4 but still positive and enjoying the stories etc thanks

Great list, no doubt we all have more to add..

Hi Diamond, This is my day 4 . Not going too bad, had a few difficult days (cinema with 30 kids -popcorn, nachos, sweets everywhere and today, helped out a school fayre, bbq, chips, ) But, I was very good , didn't even look at the bbq, (couldn't help but smell) I was chuffed with myself...

Glad your journey is going well. I did start on Tuesday so day 3 for me now. Not had any problems and not feeling bad, breath still ok so I guess I'm not on ketosis yet?? Anyway, not finding it hard with the products, not loving them all but willing to try all of them. Still, like you say...

Can I add......I would live to be able to go into a shoe shop and try ANY boots on!!!!! Not the ones with xxx wide calves!! That's all, I'd be more than happy with that. That is actually one of my goals I've set myself !!

Hi Kittycat1, I have been reading this forum for around a week now and have read successes and stories etc. Now have built up the courage and am seeing a CDC tom. Will start on the 2nd July (Mum is 65 on the 1st and Im doing family dinner) But I would to say I started reading your story and...
