I went for my second weigh-in today and lost 5lbs :D so that's 12lb in two weeks :D:D:D

:wow: That's just amazing :D well done xx

I don't know of any water flavourings but I find water a lot easier to drink if it's really really cold.

C'mon Donnamarie you can do it :D:D:D just keep think how good you are going to feel once you are in that pool!

Just had my second pack, got another litre of water, no blips today so that's day 1 done and dusted :D

I don't get mine until week three.

42 lb lost! You most certainly are doing VERY well. Camille, what a negative thing to say but good for you turning it into a positive ;) you show her!!

You're doing great :D

I've done it, I've completed my first week :D It wasn't so bad, pretty sure I can do another week ;) I got some soups from my councillor yesterday and I tried the leek and potato (they didn't have it last time I did it) and I loved it, tasted fab, gutted I only got one, will be ordering more...

Yep, sign me up, I had a tiny tiny blip today and I know it's easy for those to turn into habits so I'll take up the challenge :D

Excellent :D:D:D well done.

:D:D:D well done, what an amazing loss!

The first few days are really hard and I'm similar, I'm always ready to fall off the wagon around 6pm (unless I'm working), you just gotta push past it. I think it's very hard as you are fighting against what is natural, to eat. When I did CD first time I would nibble some chicken just so I felt...

Hello :) good luck with CD, this is a fab forum packed full of advice and support to help you x

Fabulous, you look amazing :D:D:D

Just been for my weigh-in and although it's only been six days can't see what difference an extra day would make but I've lost 7lbs :D I was expecting a little more but I'm just comparing to last time I lost 9lb in the first week but I was much heavier last time.

:party0019:Fantastic!!! Well done.

I've been thinking about setting some goals, when I started all I wanted was to get to my target weight but I kept feeling like I wanted something inbetween to work for. So my first goal is to get below 12 stone, I haven't been below 12 in all my adult life.

Today has gone well, I'm pretty sure I'm in ketosis now as I'm absolutely freezing and have a "furry mouth". It's my first weigh-in tomorrow afternoon, hope it's a good loss, it should be as I've stuck to it all week!

Excellent :D you're doing so well, keep going!

:party0019: excellent ,well done :D

I'm 13st 2lb, 5' 6" and a size 14 top and bottom

Fantastic, well done :D:D:D

Glad to read you are doing so well. I understandwhat you mean about everyone eating around you and not feeling "normal". The first time I did CD it was hell when my then OH would have dinner and I'd have a shake. Now i'm single I don't seem to have that problem.

good luck with your restart :D

Hi Fox, you did CD for six weeks 100 % so you know that you CAN do it and you CAN do it again, best of luck :)

Well done, you're doing really well, keep it up :D

I'd like to join in to please :)

Thanks for the support. I've made it to day four and I'm still sticking to the diet and still feeling positive, still have headaches and still really tired but I'm excited for Tuesday for my weigh-in :D

Wow that's amazing, well done :D Keep going x

Amazing :D What a postive and inspiring thread to read, thanks for posting.

Thanks :) Yesterday went well, I felt a bit spacy and found it hard to concentrate and I've been really tired but nothing as bad as the first time I did it. I successful managed to stave off any food temptation yesterday as well. I got up late this morning so I'm behind on my water intake...

You look amazing, well done :D

Good luck with your re-start, you sound very postive and good for you starting now instead of tomorrow :D

Good luck with your restart, I did Cambridge last year and have also put half the weight back I restarted yesterday, you can do it and we're all here to support you :)

Good luck on your restart. I'm decorating my house too to keep me busy, I think it's a good strategy :D

Thanks for the replies. Good luck with your restart Princess. Yesterday was easy enough, had all my packs, although didn't like the chocolate orange one *yuk* today I imagine will be harder but I can do it.

Hello everyone *waves* I've not been here for a long time, I managed to lose most of the weight last time but I've put most of it back on :sigh: but I restarted this morning with more determination than last time. So far so good, though it has only been a few hours!! I've had a shake and a...

I haven't cooked the peanut one as I don't it would make a nice biscuit but I have made little biscuits out of the chocolate, choc toffee and choc orange ones and they are nice. I just cook them 15 secs at a time until they look like a little biscuits and then let them cool.

Well done, that's is an excellent loss :clap:

Well done :D :D :D You sound so happy and positive :D

:bliss: :clap::clap::bliss: Well done :D

I switched from LL to Cambridge two weeks ago and I'm so glad I did. Taking the cost factor away the bars and packs are so much nicer and you can spread the out over the day. I have three packs a day but split them in two. It works out about half price for me which is great and I don't have to...

Glad someone has started a thread. I got into photography about 18 months ago and I love it :D I started out with a Fuji Fine pix camera then upgraded to the Canon 350D and that kicked off a rather expensive and addictive hobby :D I now have the Canon 5D and wow do I love it :D I keep meaning...

:bliss::bliss::bliss: That's fantastic, well done :clap:

Good luck :D :D :D :D

:wow: :clap: :wow: Well done, that's amazing.

Good luck JK, you can do it:D , just got to push your way through the tough times, they don't last long and most of the time you feel great :D :D :D

:bliss: :wow: :bliss: Fantastic, well done, have a great time in Florida :D

:bliss: :bliss: :bliss: Well done!! :D

I only lost 1lb last week but this week I've lost 4lb. I wouldn't worry too much it seems to balance itself out the week after :)

I got one a few weeks ago and I like it. I do the DVD everyday and I can tell it has worked, both upper and lower body. I've read they don't last very long but I only paid £30 with free delivery. I only want it to last until I've finished the diet and then I can afford to get back in the gym :)

Wel done on the great weight loss :D :D :D

I've had no problems exercising, in the first week I had no energy but now I feel fine, I walk the dogs three times a day, I have an air walker that I for 20 mins a day and I bought a later thigh trainer which I do 20 mins a day and I try and go out on the bike three times a week. I think you...

Sorry you are not getting any support from your OH :( It must make it so difficult. Maybe like others have suggested talk to him and ask him what his problem is? You are doing this diet for you, don't let him stand in your way, you'll get loads of support on here :)

Well done on getting through the first day :D , my OH has just started CD today as well and he's finding it ok. I sort of started CD today, I was doing LL but switched as it was far too exspensive :confused: Good luck tomorrow :)

:clap: 6lb!! :wow: well done Samantha.

You look absolutely amazing, well done :D :D :D

WEll done Samantha :D Another 4lbs off for me this week. I'm really pleased as I didn't think I'd do that well.

I was plesantly surprised how nice they tasted :D

I managed to make crisps today for the first time, after a few disasters mind :rolleyes: and they were great. :D I got some miny food bags today so I'm gonna make some up tomorrow and I can take them out with me so I can snack on them throughout the day.

:wavey: welcome back In Search Of Me. I finally figured out how to make crisps and they are great :D I'm dreading Wednesdays weight in though as I haven't had all my packs :( I fudged three of them up trying to makes crisps and three of them were the nut crunch bars :jelous: I just could not...

Awww what a great picture :cupid: I was sorting through my pictures last night on my laptop and came across this one of Pops from last years Melton show.

Thanks Samantha will have another attempt tomorrow. I haven't tried putting them on cling film, just been putting them on a plate.

Sorry to read you are feeling down Sez :hug99: Hope it passes quickly and you're feeling more upbeat soon. Cath you're such an inspiration :D I think I need to adopt that quote as my mantra over the next few months.

Hope you're feeling better soon :grouphugg:

Well done SoonBe :D :wavey: Hi Ria, welcome to Minimins :) I found having the water flaourings a lot easier to drink the water. I also have it hot as I can't stomach tea without milk and sugar. That is same for our group. I *think* you can only have one bar a day as they contain slightly...

:wow: Kels that is amazing :D :wavey: Hi and welcome to Minimins LittleBlue

:wavey: Hi Angelxx welcome to Minimins :) The hunger does fade after the first few days. The foodpacks aren't the nicest things in the world but you get used to them after time. You're doing really well, the first few days were really hard for me. Good luck :)

What an inspirational thread!! I've only been on LL for 11 days and I've been really struggling but your post has really lifted my spirits. A huge congratulations Stardreamer :D :clap: :D

I've had dreams too where I've eaten or drank something then remembered I was on LL and been really upset with myself. I think as it's such a huge change in your life and so much is riding on doing LL that your worries and fears manifest themselves in your dreams.

Hiya LittleBlue and BumpyBean Hi Samantha, things aren't too bad today, feeling a bit more positive. The foodpacks are getting more difficult to get down, I've been doubling them up but the smell is really churning my stomach. I keep telling myself that it's only a few months, it'll be over...

Hi Guys, I'm finding it really hard and don't think that LL is for me :confused: I'm going to finish this week off and discuss with my LLC about stopping. Think I should just re-new my gym membership and stop being so lazy when it comes to exercise and lose the weight that way :sigh:

YAY :clap::clap::clap: well done, that's amazing :wow:

No advice sorry but wanted to send you a cyber:grouphugg: I'm very sorry to read of the loss of your Uncle.

:wow: Cath that is amazing well done :D OMG Wendy that is fanruddytastic :wow: :D Good luck in your exams today :) I'm behind in my water intake and I've got a killer headache :( and I tried one of the nut bars this morning and it was awful, I couldn't eat it, it was that nasty tasting.

Wow that's fab :bliss: Had my week one weigh in tonight, I've only lost a pound since my stop in :confused: but it's a 9lb total for the week so I'm happy with that :)

Glad to hear you are feeling more positive today, well done with the weight loss you've achieved and good luck with the rest, you can do it :)

What a fab thing to do :D Have fun :D

What a great idea :D congrats on the weight loss :clap:

Well done Soonb :clap: :clap: :clap: That is a fantastic lost :D

:clap: :clap: :clap: Fantastic!!! Well done :D

I've been feeling cold too, I had a headache this morning but I've been feeling great this afternoon. This is the best I've felt since Wednesday and I've had a lot more energy today, managed to get some jobs done around the house :) Our LLC let us have some of the bars today so I got some...

I find it easier to drink from that kind of bottle too :)

:D :D :D :D Excellent Wendy, well done :D

:wow: :wow: :wow: Toots you look fantastic, well done :D

I had my pop-in session this morning and I've lost 8lb :D :D :D I was not expecting to loose so much, it makes the headaches and feeling like poo all worth it :D

trouble

You look absolutely stunning :D :D :D Well done !!

Hope you're feel better soon :hug99: I had trouble with the lumps and found it easier to add a small amount of cold water and mix into a paste, then add the hot water and whisk got rid of the lumps. First pop-in tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it, also I want to swap some of the...

:grouphugg: Keep up the good work Wenders, I reckon you'll feel better when you're off work. I've had a headache all afternoon and felt rotten but I don't feel too bad now. :)

I've been fine all day, although I felt a bit weak / faint while walking around Crufts but it was terribly hot in there!! I feel all achey and ill again now and hungry but I've been sat around loads of people eating today. I felt so deprived lol. Just gonna curl up on the sofa and try and...

:wavey: Sam. I still feel yuk this morning but carry on I must. I'm off out all day today so decided to mix two shakes together. The chocolate on it's own I found to be a bit minging so this morning I mixed a chocolate and a vanilla together and had it hot. I won't be doing it again YUK!! lol.

I've drank my four litres and I've got another bottle at the side of me. I've had three of my sachets and I feel all achey, tired, grumpy and bluergh, I hope these feelings soon fade away.

Totally agree with Sez. Put it down as a bad day and start again tomorrow :hug99:

Rotten

:wow: :clap: :wow: I love looking in this thread, you all look amazing and so much happier :D

Happy Birthday :D

I had my first shake, a lumpy vanilla one, I even put it in the blender to try and reduced the lumpiness. It tasted a lot better than I thought it would have.

cradle

I hope Mollie is feeling better soon.
