Back on 810 Not sure if this is the right thread but I'm returning to 810. I've done CD a few times before -the first time I did 810 with great success and have since done SS for short stints. However since getting married 18 months ago I've managed to put back on all the weight I lost for my...

Good for you! Also back for (hopefully) final time. Lost weight for my wedding last year and then have yo-yo'd like mad during 2010. Have a clear run of a month before social life starts ramping up pre-Christmas and none of my clothes fit having thrown out my fat wardrobe. I REFUSE to buy...

Yeah it's easy to say it's all about the clothes but when you've been playing this game like we have it definitely does matter what the scales say! You're sooooo close though! Let's crack on with a July challenge and get this done once and for all :) Already have my goals for July!! w/c...

Hi Dione It's soooo hard when you get close to goal isn't it?! You're so close now and you probably look great and feel better so it becomes that much harder to stick to it I think. Your goals are really realistic though and we'll be stepping up together which will be good :) Glad I'm not...

Hi Everyone Been a while since I've been on so thought I'd check in at the end of June and see how everyone's June challenge has gone! I've had a bit of a mare really. Having done my goal of 1 stone in just 2.5 weeks, I stepped up to 810 and thought I'd easily get another few lbs off by...

Wow, well done AwakenMe and Shrm! And don't worry SacredSilence, it's still coming off so it's all good - and maybe you'll have a bigger loss this coming week! I've been feeling really poorly so despite having supposedly stepped up to 810 I've actually struggled to eat anything at all :(...

Ahhhh Dione! Sounds like you are really having a rubbish time :( Stepping up now to 810 is a fab idea and I know people who've lost on 1000 too, it just slows down a bit that's all. Might help balance everything out for you as it's hard to fight so many battles at the same time. Eat some...

It's always soooo much easier in work isn't it?! It's the routine and being busy. I took myself off for a nap yesterday afternoon because I was bored and felt like eating! Good for you staying 100% yesteryday - each day is a new day. Two days and counting until I step up to 810 and I...

Oh Dione don't worry! Don't beat yourself up about it - just move onto the next day now, each day is a fresh slate. I had to go out for dinner last night and although I made 810-type choices I've been starving hungry and sooooo lethargic today :( You've only got a few days left on SS before...

Whoop, whoop! Well done Dione! Especially as you half expected to stay the same - 3lbs is awesome given the week you've had :) Keep it up girl. I very nearly caved in to yesterday - really stressful day and so needed a glass of wine and something other than CD porridge for dinner. But I...

That's the best thing you can do is to have a chat with your counsellor and see what she says - if you're not feeling right on SS it might be worth stepping up, and you'll still lose on 810 too. This time next week I'll be up to 810 - can't wait LOL. Good luck at WI and let me know how you...

Just SS-ing for one more week - have a dinner thing this Saturday which I've already planned for and going to order an 810 fish meal and driving so I don't drink! Then it's two more weeks on 810 and moving up through the maintenance plans with a week on each. I need to step up pretty...

Argh, hate that on TOTM - I crave chocolate and sweet things, it's so awful isn't it! Don't give in though, you're fighting so hard, especially with being on these meds etc. Just make sure you're taking it easy and if you feel dizzy maybe eat a bit of cold chicken or something just to take the...

Dione - sounds like you've had a helluva week! Hope you're alright and thyroids not giving you any bother - although you want to stick with the diet your health comes first so take it easy :) As for me, had my first WI of June Challenge and have lost 7lbs!!! Whoop, whoop! My goal was 5lb...

In truth I have more to lose really but trying to be realistic - I lost a lot last year and have put quite a bit back on, so am trying to get back to where I was. One step forward and two steps back! You'll soon be under 200lbs and 20 off by end of June is really do-able! You've done so well...

Awww thanks Yummy Mummy! I have to say I weighed myself the next day and it all seemed to have disappeared so it was obviously some kind of weird blip on the scales. Thanks for all your advice though and am going to stop weighing myself all the time I think and wait until official WI day...

So yesterday was Day 4 and I ate a couple of pieces of cold chicken, which my CDC says if you feel you really need to eat something is the best thing to choose. I also had a couple of glasses of slimline tonic. Weighed myself before bed and weightloss was looking better than ever - yay I...

Yay, join in Yummy Mummy, sounds like you've had a good start to June :)

Got through the dreaded Day 2 and stayed strong at the cinema - no popcorn for me! Day 3 today and my husband is starting 810 which I'm hoping will be really helpful. Keep up the good work everyone and enjoy the sunshine :) xxxx

Oooo yay!!!!! WELL DONE! See I told you the cheese wouldn't matter :) That is brilliant and very motivating! You go girl! Day 1 went off pretty smoothly although when I was tidying up I unearthed a Chocolate Orange bar (which I love) and had to throw it in the bin and spend all night...

Thanks hon! Not my first time unfortunately, am a returner :( Although I'm hungry I'm kind of relishing taking back control again after a few weeks (or months!) eating and drinking whatever the hell I wanted. Just found some cookies at the back of the cupboard and made my husband eat them so...

Dione - Don't worry about the cheese! It's a small slip and is at least protein and not carbs so won't make a bit of difference at your WI. You've got a lot on with your little one being poorly etc so don't beat yourself up! Forget about it and move onwards and upwards (or downwards on the...

Yes lets - that would be fab :):):) Sounds like we're in a similar position and although I'm feeling strong and positive now, that could soon all change! The thought off SS-ing for a couple of weeks is quite daunting, but I just feel it's so worth hitting it hard and getting the lbs off...

Starting back Thrilled to find this thread as I'm returning to CD and have already set myself a challenge for June. Lost 2.5 stone last year on CD in time for my wedding in November, but since then have made the classic mistake of piling most of it back on :( My own fault but we had...

Returning post honeymoon Hi guys Mind if I join in? You all seem to be in a similar kind of boat to me and I'm on Day 1 today and feel like I need some support! I got married at the end of November having lost quite a lot of weight but then got right into the Christmas spirit (whoops) and...

That's so great everyone is doing so well! I find it so motivating reading everyone's posts. Keep it up guys :)

Wow, well done that's fantastic!! :) I lost 6lbs in my first week (now in my second week) and it's just so motivating. Currently sitting here feeling really hungry and typing to stop myself eating! Keep up the good work!! xxxx

Hiya You shouldn't have diet coke if your SS-ing as the citric acid kicks you out of ketosis :( Have you tried the water flavourings you can buy from your CDC? Maybe give your counsellor a call before the weekend and see if you can buy some if you haven't already got any, then you can...

First weigh in Well a week of denial and rumbling tummy has been worth it - lost 6lbs on my first week :) So pleased!! When I was on WW I would have celebrated with a glass of wine but instead have come home and had my remaining shake for the day instead. If you're in your first week, stick...

Hi Ivana I also found the soups a bit disappointing, given that I normally eat soup when not dieting - the tomato one was so yukky I couldn't finish it :( The leek and potato one is really nice though thankfully, and I tried the chicken and mushroom today which was also quite tasty :) This...

New on 810 Hiya, I'm not doing sole source, I'm doing 810 but it would be great to join in and have some support too :) I started on Wednesday and found the first few days really easy but the weekend has been a hell of a challenge as spent a lot of time watching sport on TV - it's made me...
