Hello all, had WI today and stayed the same. This is good, but I'm off up to Edinburgh next week for a concert and will be eating and drinking for 3 days. Which I shall enjoy, but will be back on track once I get back. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Weigh in yesterday and I lost 1lb. Not too bad, but I was rather hoping for more. But at least it's going in the right direction.

2lbs off this week. So I now only have 5lbs to go to goal. LIFG~ you were right. I spoke to my CDC on Wednesday and I'm now on SS+ which is lovely. So happy to be back on food again.

I wasn't aware of that. I'll speak to my CDC on Wednesday. Thanks for the heads up. I'll let you know what she says.

Hey loosing it for good. I don't consider last weekend as a blip at all. I knew that I was going to the party and knew that I would be eating and drinking. I planned for it and made sure that I had some pasta for lunch that day to knock me out of Ketosis. I'm still on SS and will be until I hit...

Hi guys. My WI days seem to have moved somehow. I had WI today and only loss 1lb, but I was at a family party on Saturday night and was eating and drinking ~ so I'm chuffed to bits with the loss. Getting very close to my goal now, and now that I have nothing social planned for the next couple...

Hello all, 3lbs off for me this week ~which is amazing as I'm not in Ketosis and haven't been for a few weeks, thanks to the stupid meds that I'm on. Never mind, at least I'm heading in the right direction. I'm off to amend my ticker now. Good luck to everyone else with their WI's.

I thought I would be sick of the shakes too ~ but I have two a day (choc mint) and then a soup. I don't like the other shake flavours, or the bars, so I stick to what I like.

I'm still here. Still loosing, but not having a WI for a week and a bit now because my CDC is busy. But I'm determined to have a good loss next Friday so keeping with the diet. I'm trying to up my water intake too, in the vain hope that it will aid my losses while I'm still on these meds. I had...

Thanks all. Hubby is still off work and moaning like you wouldn't believe, but at least he's ok. I lost 2lbs last week. I'm happy because it's heading in the right direction but still sad because the meds that I'm on are still affecting it. But at least I'm in the 10's now. Whoooo

Hubby had a car crash yesterday, so now he's home for the rest of the week and driving me crazy. Where is everyone?

I only weigh in once a week with my CDC. If you're sticking to the diet 100%, you don't need to be a scale hopper. Good luck.

Oh she's gorgeous.

Great tips. Thanks.

I can't say enough good things about the Wii and the Wii Fit. I think it's a million times better than most consoles as with a lot of games, you actually have to get up off of your bum.

I'd love a pair but can't wear toe post flip flops. Never mind.

If you get them that bad, go and see the Doctor. You can get tablets which you start taking at the very first tingle. You take about 5 of these tablets a day and they work really well. Also, try not to get stressed or too run down as that does tend to cause outbreaks.

2lbs off this week. Happy that I've had a loss, but sad because obviously my painkillers are affecting this. Never mind. At least I'm heading in the right direction.

I'm here. Having a problem with my back though and on some seriously strong painkillers. Hoping that they won't knock me out of Ketosis, but I can't be without them at the moment, so if they do, there's nothing that I can do about it.

Afternoon. School goes back on Monday so all should return to normal for me as of then. I have so much to catch up with on here. I have no idea of how the Marchies have been doing ~ but am looking forward to finding out.

I'm still here, but as I say all the time at the moment, my life keeps getting in the way. In other words, I have no online life during school holidays. Twingo ~ have you looked into getting a coil? It has changed my life completely and my periods are now almost non~existant. Wish I'd had it...

Hi all. School holidays make it super difficult for me to pop in here, but I'm always here in spirit. Gil ~ sorry to hear about your Gran. I don't have any of my grandparents anymore and try to make sure that Diego gets to spend time with the remaining 3 that he has. I won't be weighing in...

Hey everyone. Ready for a new week? I've not been around for a while as I've been so busy and now that it's Easter holidays, I'm going to be busy with the little one. Also, I've become addicted to Twitter so have been playing on there.

Hi guys. Sorry I've not been around all week. I'm seriously busy and haven't even had the time to catch up on all the posts.:break_diet: Just to let you know that I had my WI this morning and although I only lost 1lb, it's still a loss and I know that it's because I haven't been able to drink...

Hi Sonya, The tournament went very well. I didn't take part in this one but was an official and get points towards my next grading just for helping out ~ so that's a real bonus. I felt really jealous watching though and will probably take part in the next one.

Morning all :553: I had a wonderful weekend and when I was at the tournament yesterday I had five people comment on my weigh loss and one even went so far as to say that I looked FANTASTIC.:happy036: That gave me a real boost and I'm still on a high. Hope you all had a great weekend and are...

Hels ~ that's great news about the jeans. what a huge boost for you. Sonya ~ I only have the one son, he's called Diego and is 8 this summer. Yes, it is my belief that all boys (except for the boring ones) are loud. That's quite a bargain that you've got at the gym for the 3 of you. The fact...

Thanks. I had a quick look at the game last night but didn't have time to input all of my measurements and whatnot. I'm going to get on it on Monday when nobodies here and I don't have to worry about the boys snickering at me and moaning that they want to watch something on cable. It asks if...

I like both the porridges but usually have one for lunch as I don't like heavy breakfasts.

Well done on your huge loss.

Sonya ~ I forgot to mention. I got the "My Fitness Coach" for the Wii yesterday. I'm going to get started on it on Monday ~ much easier and less embarressing, when there's nobody here.

Morning all. I'm waiting for a delivery for Mr Gem's today which is supposed to arrive at some point before 1pm. :rolleyes: Then tomorrow I have an all day Karate Tournament which is really going to wear me out. We get a free lunch but I will be taking a Tetra pack with me. Good luck with the...

Yes, yes and yes. But I'd much rather be thin. I was chatting to my CDC about this today. There is NO other diet that would have allowed me to lose over 1 stone in less than a month and I've probably only got about another 6 weeks of this ~ so I just get myself another drink of water and...

Oh Gods, sorry Deb. I really don't want to make you feel bad. :break_diet:

I've also just realised, by looking at my ticker that I'm over half way to my goal. Great news about your date Skinnie. When are you seeing him again?

Hello all. 4 lbs loss for me today which I'm chuffed to bits about. That's over 1 stone in 27 days.:happy036::bliss: I'm very happy with that, and that should help to spur me on over the weekend which is always difficult for me. Sorry, you didn't have a huge loss Debs, but at least you...

Morning all. Well done hels on not caving in. I'm off for my WI in a minute so will report back.

I got married in the Caribbean ten years ago. It was wonderful, just the two of us and no hassle. We came home and had a HUGE party afterwards. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

That's it!! I have to go and buy a belt. I'm just back from walking the dog and if I had to pull my jeans up once, I had to do it 50 times. I've not had them 2 weeks yet either, so can't really justify buying another pair. So it's both good and bad.:rolleyes:

If you don't want to tell him about the diet and you don't want to ask him to take you elsewhere, go for the meal and just try to make sensible choices. Why not phone or text your CDC and ask for advice. That's what they're there for.

Sonya ~ you poor thing. My Dad died when I was 21 and now my mum lives in the US. Just before Christmas I had a phonecall telling me that my Ma had been rushed to hospital with a suspected Heart Attack. This totally scared the crap out of me. I may be a grown up with a family of my own, but...

Welcome to Stacey and Onamission. LIFG ~ have you asked your CDC about constipation? Mine sells something that can help. I've not needed it, but I like the thought that she sells it as it would be something that you know wouldn't affect Ketosis. Sonya ~ are you sure you want to hear about...

How on earth did my "woo" post end up above yours CD? But anyway, your post was what I was "Whoooo"ing about.

:happy036:

I hate having my WI on a Friday. I always feel as though I have to wait so much longer than everyone else ~ even though I know we all have 7 days. Ignore me, I'm just being grumpy.:D

Stick with it Hels. I'm sure that next week will be fab.

That's a very healthy attitude to have Sonya.

Bloody annoying though Sonya. Kind of like putting on weight without even knowing that you've had loads of food first. Do I make sense or am I putting my foot in it, as usual?

Sonya~ I'm not that bothered about the comp, but was just wondering out loud. I hope it's not compulsary. Your new CDC sounds fab. Some people find it helps to have someone who is more of a friend and can help to motivate them. I think it's a good idea to stick to your CDC's scales. That way...

:DA date!!! Whooo hooo. Fantastic news. Who with? Describe him. Where are you going? Details girl, we need details!

So. If we're a team now ~ since we've been moved into the Team sub forum ~ do we have to take part in the weight loss competition?

Morning all. Feeling rather positive today for some reason and looking forward to my WI on Friday.

About two years. My son used to go, and a group of mums that I got to know all decided one day to give it a go, since we spent so much time watching our kids. Funny how I'm the only one who has kept up with it. They all dropped out one by one.

It's never too late to learn. ;)

Purple. About to go for Brown.. . hopefully. What style of Karate will she be studying? When does she start?

Yes, I'm fluent. My Ma is Spanish and she has always spoken Spanish around us kids, although I'm the only one that's fluent. I think my brothers and sisters just let it go in one ear and out the other. I'd love to go to India. Have you been? I've been offered the chance of going to China this...

Ooh Vixster ~ you're doing so well. Well done.

Well done Captain Pugwash.

If Hubby would move I'd be out of here in a second. But also, England has so much to offer ~ just not weather.;) Great news about you being able to chat with your ex. It's a real milestone for you. Good luck for your WI tomorrow. I'm just back from parents evening. All well and good, but I...

The way I see it, is that I'd much rather go out and have a good time with my friends. If this means eating a few things, then so be it. It's a decision that needs to be made by all of us at one time or another, as we all still have our lives going on around us whilst on this diet. If you're...

Lauralou ~ don't worry about the blip. Just focus on being 100% again and all will be well. We've all slipped up but the main thing is that you're able to get back on track. Did you have a good time last night though?

Glad you're back and ok Sonya. The differences between here and there? Bloody hell, there are loads. Such a totally different way of life. Here, work = everything. There, work = paying the bills. It's such a chilled out way of life over there and everytime I go back, I slip into it far too...

Skinnie Minnie ~ if you're not happy with your CDC, go and find another. I phoned one and just didn't get a good vibe from her (and that was just on the phone) and phoned another who was lovely from the very beginning. Obviously the second one is the lady that I see, but you really need to be...

On and off for about 20 years. I went to middle school there and then came back in my final year of primary, then went back when I was 21.

Oh, and good luck at the Dentists Sonya. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Morning all. I've feeling so drained and worn out at the moment. I presume that this is down to my TOTM which has arrived after 4 months of being without. Bah. I'm hoping that it won't affect my weight loss this week, but we'll just have to wait and see. All this talk of holidays is making me...

*double post ~ due to my stooopid phone*

That's shocking Sonya. You should only have to pay for the people that are actually going on the holiday.

I have a treadmill too. I stick a film or episode of some TV show on my ipod and I'm well away. On the Wii though, I'm addicted to the Lego games ~ I'm so sad that I play them on the DS too.:silly:

So does this mean that we're officially a team now?:8855:

I love it. I bought some from my CDC after trying some of hers. I love savory things and this is perfect for me, since I really miss my coffee's but can't stand to drink it without milk.

I know all about budgeting. I'm going to get the Fitness Coach one and we'll be Wii buddies.:D

Let me know when you get it and I shall bug you on the March Thread into doing it.:p

My mistake. It's called My Fitness Coach.

Yoga is on the Wii Fit. Nice basic stuff that eases you into it ~ but you have to complete other things to open up new exercises. :D It helps to keep you motivated. There's a new Wii game out called something along the lines of "My Fitmess Trainer" . . or something like that. From all that...

I do between 2 and 8 hours of Karate. I also have a dog who needs a lot of working, run the after school club at school which keeps me running around and I have a Wii fit. I know it must be so demotivating for you Sonya, not to have lost any inches following such a great weigh loss, but it WILL...

Thanks Sonya. The only thing that I'm concerned about is that 2 of my Karate classes have changed times. I spoke to my CDC about it last week and she has suggested that I have an extra shake when I come home from Karate on those evenings. I know it makes sense but I really don't want it to...

Just wanted to share that I'm wearing my Size 14 petite jeans again today. I bought them last week and was thinking that maybe the fact that they fitted so well was just luck ~ but they're really comfy.:bliss::bliss:

Yes, almost all of the rides are for 2 or 3 people. Because it is designed for such young children they really seem to have taken the parents into consideration on the rides too.

Sonya ~ Legoland is ideal for kids from 4 ~ 10. There are lots of tiny rides for the younger kids as well as older ones. We first went when my son was a Tumble Tot as part of a TT day and he was just far too young, but we started going back when he was 5 and we all just love it. I really...

gillian ~ yes, pretty much all of the CDC's have the WI's at their house. If you're really not happy about it though ask if he'll come to your house or perhaps ask if he can recommend someone who can. Morning everyone and welcome to all of the ne Marchies.

We all have bad days but the trick is not to dwell on our mistakes. Today is the start of a new week, so start afresh and keep looking forwards instead of backwards. Good luck.

Morning Marchies, Day 22 for me and out of those I've had 21 100% days so I'm feeling good and proud of myself.

Morning all. I wasn't around yesterday as the family went to Legoland for the day. Had a great time and really wore myself out. I have no energy today at all. Bad luck on your slip up Sonya. Just do wwhat I did and remember that its a new day today and look forwards.

Well done.

Yeah I'm still here. Thanks for your words of support this morning.

Ah don't worry too much Muffin. You made a mistake, feel crap about it and probably won't make it again for a loooong time ~ if ever ~ again. Tomorrow is a new day and you can easily be 100% again.

Lovely pic there.

Oh, I wish MM.

Thanks everyone for the support. I'm just back from my WI. Like CD above, I'm a day early and have lost 2lbs. I had a wonderful pep talk from my CDC and I'm feeling much happier and relaxed. I can't complain. I've lost 11lbs in 18 days and there's no way on earth that I could have managed that...

Thanks Vixster. I know what you're saying and I know I'm just being grumpy and dramatic. My hubby said the same last night ~ but I just don't take any notice of him.:D

Thanks Cad. I've actually lost about 8 inches and can really see the difference in my clothes - which is , of course, great but the actual weight loss (or lack of it) is messing with my head. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. My CDC is great and I'm sure she'll put everything into perspective...

Its great fun to watch. You should try to come this year - its in May. I've never seen any real injuries but plenty of fractured arms and legs.

Oops. Double post

Morning Marchies, I have an early wi today and I'm not looking forward to it. I don't feel as though I've lost anything and that will really bring me down. I keep thinking that if I'm only going to loose a couple of pounds, I'd be better off on WW where its £30 cheaper and I'll be able to eat...

That's right. We can watxh it from our back garden.

Freaky. :eek: I live right next to Coopers Hill ~ if that means anything to you.

I was in Stroud today - I hate those bloody hills. I'm between Chelters and Glos. what a small world!

Well done Sonya. That's a fantastic loss. I'm in Gloucestershire and am having the same kind of weather. Don't worry about your inch loss just yet. It will happen, it just happens for some people at a different time and in a different way. Take me for example. I can see much more of a...

Vixster ~I hope you don't end up in Weston. I went to college there and haven't been back since ~ I don't think I could bear it ~ although I used to love it when I was a kid. Good luck for your WI tonight.

Yesterday I wore a blouse for the first time since I bought it about a month ago. I mentioned to Hubby on the phone that it seemed a little baggy but that it seemed ok. When he came home, he took one look at me and said that I looked like a little girl wearing her big sisters clothes, because...

Morning all. Very misty here today so I'm not sure that it's going to be as sunny and warm as it has been over the past few days. I'm also going to be busy running errands so doubt I'll be about so much and will be forcing water down my throat whenever I can. I have an early WI this week. On...

I've not played on the Arcade here much, but Mahjong is one of my all time favourite games so I shall go and have a nose. I actually run my own forum, so I know only too well how addictive these places can be.:D

Morning and welcome Muffin. Join in and enjoy.:D

I've not tried the Strawberry shakes. I'm strictly a Chocolate Mint girl. Good luck for your first day though.

I don't know, but I don't suppose it could hurt.

Twingo.Well done on your Blog. They're so addictive. I've had one for almost 3 years now (nothing to do with dieting) and I'd be lost without it. My Mum lives abroad and it helps her to keep up to date with what's going on in our lives, as I tend to put stuff in there that I'd forget to mention...

Evening all. Ugh. I've had an awful day. Nothing in particular ~ I've just been feeling really "blah", if that makes sense. I also think that this should have been my TOTM but since I had the Coil fitted last year, I don't get periods anymore. Hurrah ~ but I still get the cravings. Hence why...

Oh Debs. How awful for you. You really sound like you're coping so well though. :gen126: Keep your chin up and give us a yell if you need a shoulder to cry/lean on.

I got 3 chocolate (I'm not big on chocolate either but thought I'd give them a bash) 3 Peanut (Yum, Yum ~ I'm another that loves nuts) and 1 orange to try. I think next time Ill be getting more orange and no chocolate. I have a terrible stomach ache at the moment though ~ almost like trapped...

Get well soon Rayven family. I couldn't stop drinking yesterday ~ I was just SO thirsty. I know for a fact that I drank at least 3 litres.

Today is my first day for bars too. I had one for breakfast.

I buy the one from my CDC and love it.

Morning all. I also had a fab weekend. Husband wasn't working so we took the little one and the dog on huge walks in the local hills. Vixster, I'm also in the South West and the weather has been fab. Great again today and I already have a load of washing on the line.

I do between 4 and 8 hours of Karate a week and haven't had a problem with faintness so far. . . (touch wood) . . but I really miss Body Pump. I used to love that class when I was a gym member.

Oh you poor things. How crappy of your OH's to be trying to tempt you. I think I'm rather lucky as my Husband is doing the diet with me, so the only thing that I have to contend with is my son saving me a couple of Mini Eggs.

Sonya ~ well done on learning to swim. You won't regret it ~ it's one of my most favourite things in the world. How old are your kids?

Poor thing. Although I'd have to be at deaths door before I felt like eating broccoli. :D

I tried the L&P soup for the first time this evening as was pleasantly surprised.

That would be so much fun.:banana dancer:

WI number 2 for me today and a 3lb loss.

And I've now changed my goal date over there <----. The date is my 10th wedding anniversary and I'd love to be able to try my wedding dress on ~ and for it to fit! I'm relying on my March Mates to help me to get there.

I didn't expect it to come off so quickly (and fairly painlessly) so it's a huge boost. I wear the same clothes to WI each week so that I can get a true reading and the jeans that I wear, I can take off without undoing the buttons or zip. They easily just slide down. So much so, that I can't...

Thank you. I know. Spoke to my CDC about it all today and if my losses carry on like this I can be at goal in 8 weeks. :D

Just back from my second WI and I have lost 3lbs. Very happy with that and I feel fab.

Hi gypsyqueen, good luck for Saturday.

I know, I know.

I've got my 2nd WI tomorrow and I'm really not looking forward to it. I've stuck to SS but I just don't think I'm going to see such a good loss this time.

Well done on both your loss and your new grandchild.

Twingo ~ did you ask your CDC, because mine sells it.

It does make sense. Thanks Sonya and MM55.

I don't know. I think we're only supposed to have "calorie Free" products. Phone your CDC and ask if you're worried.

One of my sisters gets the same reaction when she says that she has 8 kids ~ but she really is a nutter. :D I'm just wondering if anyone knows when we get to Add A meal? Is it when we've lost a certain amount or depending on BMI or what? I have my second WI tomorrow and will be asking my CDC...

My CDC took a photo of me at my first WI so I'm looking forward to seeing the differenc when I get to goal.

:8855:

Wow. What a fantastic response you got. Glad it's given you an extra boost. Good luck for tonight.

Feel free to barge Madmum. The more the merrier. I'd totally forgotten that Mother's Day is coming up.

Well done. You must be SO happy.

Well done Vixster. What a fantastic first WI for you. Sonya ~ I haven't really thought about what I would like to be able to wear once I'm at goal.. but I think I would just like to be able to wear some nice shorts in the summer ~ well, I'm just hoping that we have a summer really. Sari's are...

All is going well here and I'm looking forward to my next WI on Friday.

Is anyone else having great weather? I've just been out in the garden with the dog and had to come in because it's too hot. Well done on all of the fabulous weight losses.

I don't know. Speak to your CDC about it.

I've just realised that I get to have the bars after Friday.

I have hot mint choc every day. I do the same and leave the water in the kettle to cool before making it. I put it in a huge 2 litre jug so that there's enough room for me to whisk it and I don't have to worry about getting scalded.

I've not had a coffee since I started CD. I can't stand it black and I'm too nervous to add it to a shake incase I mess it up. What do you do?

Not mean at all. I think it was a nice way of asking for support and explaining to your mum how you're going to be feeling. You were much nicer than I would have been.

Absolutely. I was really struggling last night and was so close to just running down to the chippy, but the Jeans incident has really strengthened my resolve.

Tetra packs are ready made milkshakes. They're in a little box (like kia ora, maybe) so you don't have to worry about having to make them yourself. Handy if you're out and about, but I think they only come in 3 flavours.

I've been feeling the cold too. Doesn't help that my husband sleeps with 2 windows open and a fan blowing. I've been taking a hot water bottle to bed.

It is. A real all round family machine.

Morning gang. I bought a pair of jeans from M&S a couple of months ago without trying them on and they were too small for me when I got them home. I tried them on last night and they fit perfectly. I was so happy and it's given me such a boost, that I just can't wait for my next WI.

I love my Wii.

Good luck Dextersmum.

Honestly? I think it's very dangerous for you to eat normally and then start again on Friday. Only because it will be so easy for you (and by that, I think I really mean for all of us) to just give up. Start tomorrow afresh and try to get back into Ketosis. You probably won't have a loss on...

Sonya : I've been wearing the same clothes to my weigh in each week as I thought that it would give me the most true reading. The jeans are definately looser and I can see that I've lost weight from my stomach ~ but not my boobs which I thought was odd. I've just made my son home made...

CD First Timer ~ at least it was vegetables that you ate and not a big mac meal. :D Today is day 8 for me. Just jumped on the Wii Fit ( i know, i know I shouldn't have) and I've apparently put on 1lb. :mad: I'm sure I'll be fine for WI on Friday though.

:D I was thinking of trying some more soups next week. So far I've only braved Chicken and Mushroom and Vegetable. I don't know what the others are going to be like though.

I've just had a rather dodgy porridge. I've not had one for a few days as I was feeling rather sick of it every morning, but quite fancied one for lunch today. I wasn't concentrating though and was on the phone while I was making it and it was really runny but somehow lumpy too.:mad: Never...

:sign0151: I'm the same as always.

Can I just say that I am loving this thread. I started CD on 01/03 and prior to that, had never visited this forum and felt a little lonely when I finally did. Having this thread has been great for me as we've all started at the same time and I don't feel so much a newbie. I know that a few of...

I can't chew gum as even before starting the diet chewing gum would always make my stomach rumble. I just stick to breath spray and have them all over the place. A couple in the car, in every coat pocket, in the kitchen, by my bed, in my bags ~ I am the breath spray queen.:D

Amyeve ~ TOTM is evil. It can and should be blamed for everything.

Mint choc. It's delicious hot and I have at least one a day.

Dear Wii Fit, Thank you for changing me from "Obese" to "overweight". I was tickled pink. Gembots

You're not wrong about the week from hell are you! Hope both you and your little boy are both ok now. Don't worry about what happened last week ~ it really was just one of those freaky things that happen once in a blue moon ~ and just focus on next week and going from strength to strength.

Blimey, what a nightmare. I'd change too if I were you. Hope you can find someone whose helpful for you.

Wow, fantastic couple of weigh in's there BB. Well done and keep up the good work.

pal

man ;)

Hello, mind if I join in too? Cambridge Diet SS 01/03/09 starting weight 168lbs 06/03/09 lost 6lb = 162:D

Hi, I started CD on March 1st and had my first weigh in last night. I lost 6lbs and I'm chuffed to bits, especially since I only started the diet on Sunday so Gods knows what I could have lost after 7 days. This is the first diet that I've ever tried and am hoping that it's going to be my last...

killer

I really am. I'm still on a high today even though I have a bit of an odd stomach ache. Well done on your losses too. Whooo :D

Thanks all. I've not been to Karate at all this week as I thought it would be best to allow my body to get used to the diet first, but I am missing it like mad and hoping that the added exercise will help to aid my loss next week.:fingerscrossed:

Gel

Lots of luck for tomorrow.

Well done on taking the first step. You'll be fine.

beat

See. I knew that there would be wiser people along soon.;)

Well ~ yes, I would have thought so. SS is a super low calorie diet, so yes, I can't see how you can't lose weight really. You have nothing to lose by trying except lbs and inches.:D

Band

Girl

I do understand what you mean, although I'm really not good at giving advice ~ but very good at listening. I don't know what to say about SS. I can't imagine that you're not going to lose on it but I do understand your thought process. Before I had my first WI today I was worried that I...

I've not managed to have a coffee since last Saturday. I did try, but it was just awful without milk. Never mind, I'm sure I'll manage without it.

and I've lost 6lbs. I'm chuffed to bits and considering I only started on Sunday, I can't wait for next week. Onwards and upwards . . . or downwards hopefully. :D

I'm one litre down and wearing layers.

Wow. What a difference. Well done.

Morning. It's a lovely sunny day here too, and I can see snowdrops, daffodills and crocuses in my garden. I'm feeling happy today and positive for my first weigh in. Have a good day everyone.

This is a lovely thread. I'm going for my first WI tomorrow and don't think I'll be buying anymore porridge for a while. It was ok for the first few days but now I just can't bear the thought of it. I'll stick to the shakes for a bit I think. I was thinking of trying a couple of the soups but...

My hubby is also doing SS and has paid for a month in advance. He wanted me to do this as well, but I have a Karate grading coming up as well as other seminars which I have to pay for and that's always going to come first with me. I don't think it's going to be a problem though.

Good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine.

Thanks for the welcome. I do feel that I've lost. I can see the difference (although perhaps it's all in my mind) on my stomach and am hoping that when I weigh in tomorrow I won't be disappointed.

Thank you.

I'll have a damn good try.

Mind if I barge in? I could do with winning something! ;)

Thought I ought to pop in and introduce myself to everyone. Been doing CD SS since Sunday and have my first WI tomorrow. I'm very excited and looking forward to seeing how I've done. . . .or am I?:cross:

Hi all, I'm a first time poster and am doing SS on CD. Tomorrow is my first weigh in day, although I've only been doing SS since Sunday ~ this was the only reasonable day that both my CDC and myself were available. Wish me luck. :D
