I'm restarting Saturday, but last time I did CD I loved Banana shakes made with lots of ice. The Cappuccinos were nice made hot. The ChocMint was devine mixed with mix-a-mousse, omg this alone is worth sticking to CD for :D I also loved the vanilla packs made up as a muffin!!! Writing all that...

Hi, I'm with you. When I conceived my son I was 16st 10lb, I fell pregnant the very first month of ttc! We have been ttc a second baby since January 2007 and had nothing so far, although I think I may have had two very early losses (faint bfp followed by heavy period,sorry tmi). In allthis...

When I was pregnant I found Next maternity clothes fantastic. They go up to a size 22 but the sizes are huge. I was a size 22 pre-pregnancy and the 22 maternity trousers never fitted me, even at 8½ months,they just kept rolling down :o Babycentre has a 'plus sized and pregnant' forum which I...

Hi :wave_cry: I am starting CD810 on Tuesday, anyone else starting? I am doing this for my overall health, but also because my hubby and I have been trying for a baby (baby number 2) for over 2 years and I have finally accepted that my weight is the issue. I am nervous, but so excited. xxx

That is exactly how I feel. I am seeing my CDC in the morning to get this journey started :)

Hi :) I have toyed with doing CD for months now, but have never got around to it. I am (stupidly) really scared of feeling desperately hungry. If you had a friend who was very overweight (6/7 stone overweight), sad that their weight was affecting their life, depressed by their size and...

I have a Wii fit which I need to start using :D I also love the Tae Bo workouts.Years ago I did a 30 min Tae Bo workout 5 days a week and lost 2 dress sizes within a few weeks. They are fab. My sil used them for preparing for her police fitness test too, they are really good. Going to get...

I enjoyed watching this, it was shocking how much she changed in just 6 weeks! One thing really hit me though. The doctor said to her something like "in all my years in health care I have never known anyone eat what they want and not have health implications" for some reason this really...

Bea, that is amazing! Really inspiring :) I am starting to blame myself now, so this is the first time I am dieting for something other than me! I am hoping that losing weight for a BFP will be a real kick up the bum and help me stick to the diet.

Thanks for replying to me Rayven :) I always assumed that weight affected fertility,but when I fell pregnant with my son it was so simple. Also I have several friends who have all fallen pregnant very easily, they range in size from being 8 stone to 20 stone. One of them, who is 16 stone and...

Good Luck Sharon! I have tried Scottish Slimmers,I like the diet in theory, but I always end up coming back to CD. Best of luck for today ..... you can do it!

When I fell pregnant with my little boy I weighed 16st 10lb. I gained very little through the pregnancy, and on leaving the hospital after giving birth I weighed 15st. Pregnancy made me eat properly,it forced me to take care of my diet. We've been trying for baby number 2 for 2 years now and...

I can't see any pictures, where should I be looking? Well done on losing 5 stone, that is really inspirational!!!

never :)

Also, to book a holiday and enjoy the countdown rather than stressing my way through every week wondering whether i'll be a slim size in time!!!

Definitely, although I had my first when I was 16 stone and had a medically perfect pregnancy!! But would love to have a non-judgemental pregnancy :o

What a massive inspiration, I will be on here a lot once i've started!!!!

sun :character00238:

The difference in your before and after pics are amazing! Well done to you!!

Once you get through the first few days you'll be grand! Keep the photos somewhere you'll see them frequently. Well done for getting started :)

I know where you're coming from. My cdc is a woman, and I feel that I can chat to her about all sorts of 'girly' things that cd tends to interfere with :p Also, she has experience of trying to conceive after being on cd which is ideal for me. I am married and have many male friends (and...

Hi :) I am starting the 2nd too. I am really looking forward to it.I was considering starting before xmas, but don't want all that temptation so early into the diet :rolleyes: So, new year,new start, new me!!! I am currently around 16st 8lb and would love to get down to 11st ish. Can't...

I'd say that there is no perfect time to start a family. Me and my hubby waited until everything was just right and until I was in the perfect stable job, etc. Then 13 weeks into my pregnancy I got sacked. Tne reason,my daft boss decideed to tell me was because I was pregnant and she couldn't be...

Hi Clarins Good luck starting RC. I wanted to join a few days ago but missed the class as hubby had to work late :rolleyes: I have contemplated doing cambridge but I know I won't stick to it over xmas.... I just can't imagine sitting at the table with a glass of water and a vanilla pack...

Thanks for all your replies. I admire all of you who are planning on following sole source, have followed sole source and those who are having green and white veg with their turkey! I have been reading a lot of the posts on here over the last 24 hours, but have decided that if giving up my...

Hello, I am in a dieting quandry (sp?). I joined minimins earlier this week unsure of which diet to follow to lose 6 stone on *eek* I decided to try Rosemary Conley, but hubby finished work late so I couldn't get to the class. Since then i've been lurking around the vlcd forums and am really...

I have a triple box set of rosemary conley dvd's and they are brilliant. I got them from Amazon Amazon.co.uk: Rosemary Conley - Fitness Triple Pack: Rosemary Conley: DVD The 5-day fat burner is a good one (included in the box set). Other dvd's I have which are really good are... Tae Bo...

Thanks Louale I will keep posting, I work from home so am sat at the pc practically all day!! I'll let you know how the class goes :)

Thanks for everyone's help and advice. I have decided to try Rosemary Conley. I like the idea of exercise and being careful with my food, but also having the option for the odd treat. I have done that many diets in the past 15 years, but have never tried rc,so i'm hoping that a new plan will...

Hello, I posted on the introductions board earlier today saying I was unsure which diet plan to follow. I couldn't decide between weight watchers, slim fast, calorie counting or cambridge. I have been nosing into all the seperate forum areas this evening and really fancy trying rosemary...

Wow, thanks everyone. Such great advice. I am really considering weight watchers. Starlight, did you lose all of your weight on ww? If so, that is amazing. What an inspiration. I'm going to have a good snoop around the forum tonight once ds has gone to bed. Thanks for the great replies!

Thanks Deflating, the idea of food abstinence really appeals as I won't have to think about food, and as you say, i'm less likely to cheat if food isn't even in the equation!!

Thanks Tracey, I keep thinking about cd, it's just knowing that christmas is coming up and I know I wouldn't be able to manage it over christmas.

I was 12 stone'ish. 5'5" and a size 16. I'ddo anything to be a size 16 now :D

What about doing a mini break with DFDS from Newcastle to Amsterdam? You can get some really good offers sometimes. Or Newcastle itself, we stayed in the premier inn at Royal Quays (shopping outlet) and it was fab. Hel x

Hello :sign0144: I signed up here yesterday, i'm trying to get some inspiration for a diet to follow. I was going to try cambridge, but i'm not sure now...I like my food too much (but that's what got me into this mess :rolleyes:) I am weighing up weight watchers, slimming world, slim fast...

Hi Abz, hope you don't mind me jumping in, but just wanted to ask are you doing cd810? I am wondering whether to start 810 as sole source scares me a bit :o Have you had good losses and would you recommend it? I have been reading the forum for a while and think you'd make a great cdc btw...
