    Anybody have 5st to lose?

    Hey sparklychar, isn't it a great experience though, such a different way of life. I've been there many time as my mum has lots of family there. I'd want to live in Delhi though for convenience, cheaper flights, better pay, more amenities, better schools and its a capital. Have you considered...

    Anybody have 5st to lose?

    Hey MsV, thanks for the encouragement. India would provide us with a better lifestyle as I'd have support with the everyday things. I'm being completely thorough though. I'm on the diet still but this weekend I have had a couple of allowed things from ss+, I tried to lower the amount of...

    Anybody have 5st to lose?

    Hey sparklychar, are you back on it? You definitely have the right attitude! I have a chocolate crunch bar whenever I need some chocolate and I have a spicy Toyota soup when I need something spicy and hot.

    Hey MsV, it is hard separating from my ex but we are both practical. We've got a great, open relationship and we have enough life experience to not see things through rose tinted glasses. So hopefully we'll be ok. Mostly I just miss my best friend. I'm going to see him this week. I realised...

    Hey Pampered, I'm pleased that someone else has joined The March Team! Lol. Well done on your great loss! It's highly motivational to lose that much in your first weigh in. I've felt the health implications of being overweight and have ignored them for long enough. I think I'd really enjoy...

    Hi, I have a small bottle of coke zero a day as it helps me with that nasty taste in my mouth and helps my metabolism. My CDC as a few others I've met have all said its fine but it must be coke zero. It hasn't affected my weight loss. Good luck.

    coke zero

    My two pennies worth. I have a can of coke zero a day. It doesn't affect my weight loss, it helps wake my mouth up as I sip it through the day and it helps with metabolism too. I figure this "journey" it tough and if I can use anything that is allowed to make it easier then why not. Good luck.

    Hey, Been for my WI and I now weigh 13st 8lbs. Thats a further loss of 9lbs! I am really happy but to be honest, I'm not noticing much difference in my clothes and I'd happily stay at this weight if I could get into a size 12/14. I'm now starting to think that if I don't lose the weight I might...

    No I'm not much of a walker neither. :o As you probably already know, I broke up with my boyfriend. I found out that he had a dating profile on one of these sites:mad:.

    Aw hunny, I can't really empathise with you as cos as you know I split with my partner.

    Hey All, Debs I really love your signature, mind if I put that on mine too? :p Cooking for the kids can be hard at times but easier than cooking for my friends.

    Letty, I hate wearing jeans at the moment cos my legs are huge. I have to wear wide leg trousers. So therefore I can't wait to wear them. I can't wait to see the difference in my clothes, I just need to be more patient which is easier said than done! Well done Annie on your success.

    How do you cope with CD

    By coming on here and seeing ordinary people (no offence lol) that have succeeded and have shared pics of themselves. Knowing that it is not impossible. The thing for me is, I tried all last year to do it and now I feel like I wasted a whole year and it's groundhog year! Smoking for me too...

    3 or 4 packs?

    Smanf, I'm 5'9" and I was only taking 3 (as advised my previous CDC) and I felt really lethargic and woke up feeling like I had a hang over. My new CDC insisted that I have to take four and now I feel so much better. I agree that if you will be doing exercises as well then maybe you shoulder...

    I think you add a meal after 12 weeks. Not certain so you'll have to get this confirmed but I think at the 12 week period you have add a a meal for a week and then return. If you want to stop the diet then you gradually work your way up to food by add a meal. Does that make sense?!
  219. sonya

    50lbs Gone!

    Well done to you. It's threads and pics like yours that provides people like me, the purpose to continue and the ability to believe. Thanks for sharing those pics. I must remember to do the same to keep myself motivated! :)

    Jaycey you are spot on. I do want to do it this time as I know I have the right incentives. I too feel like I have finally found the diet that works for me and I think it will always somehow be a part of my life now. I'm so going to do it this time! Well done to you all!
