Good luck! You'll do fantastic I'm sure :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ive always wanted to cut my hair shorter(its about bra length at the moment) but kept telling myself that I'll do it once Im at goal..I think I use my hair to hide behind..not literally(!) I mean I make an effort with it so that people notice the colour,curls etc rather than my fat.. I was...

Hi Kate Yes it was me that you spoke to...Im trying to do 810 but as I'm an all or nothing girl Im struggling without the strictness of ss as its the evening meal thats making me binge... Im contemplating doing SS for these few pounds.....feels as though the brakes are on with this diet...

Well done! I remember feeling the same when getting into the 9's...just seeing that number on the scales is the best feeling ever.. xxx

We're like two peas in a pod! We can do it....! Thank you for each of you that replied, I feel much better today and I WILL GET TO GOAL!!! :D

Im So mad with myself.....:mad: I REALLY REALLY want to get to 8st 13(I was 9st 6 at last proper WI but havent weighed in for last two weeks as I know I've put on. I have lost my spark (hard to explain what I mean). Im not that determined 'will keep going til I get what i want' person...

Im a manager for a utilities contact centre...I am really patient when I call contact centres as I know its no fun on the other side...I do find my self analysing the call as I would do if i was monitoring my staffs calls to see if they were polite helpful..could they have gone the extra...

Hey Banafell I'd love to wear those 'mc hammer pants' as I like to call them...but being pear shaped..I dont think theyd suit me.... Id be wearing them with the label out too at a size 10!! lol!

Isnt it weird that a lot of us want to be a size 12? A lot of magazines are slated for showing us size 0 models as it makes us aspire to be like them and not one of us has said we want to be that small. Its not a good look at all.... Id love to be a size 12 bottom and 10 on top (Yep Im a pear...

Yes, you should definitely be on at least 810. You can stay on 810 to goal (assuming goal isn't unhealthy). You can either go up the plans to lose the last little bit if you decide to before getting to goal. Or take a slightly faster move up if at goal to restore glycogen and metabolism :)...

Thanks Kate, I will speak to my cdc on Friday...she always gave me the impression that I needed to do SS to lose and the others plans to maintain...but reading the other posts on this forum I think people are still losing til they get to the very high plans.... Thanks for your advice. Love...

Hi At 5ft 3 and 9st 6 (goal is 8st 13- so still 7lbs to go) should I still be doing SS?? The reason I ask is that Im struggling with it now compared to when I started at 10st 8, so thought it may be to do with my BMI. Im a bit scared if Im honest about doing a higher plan as I dont want to...

That'll be you Curly wurly (even writing that I wasn thinking about chocolate!) Ive not got any pics on here.. You have done really well. xx

I'm down to my last 6lbs and just cant do it any more...:cry: I've been ultra motivated up til now but the last few weeks have just been a disaster... This isnt cheap and I dont know whats wrong with me...I start off with good intentions everyday then I start making excuses to why I deserve...

Well done all of us..woohoo!! xxx

Good luck babes...we are all here if you need any support. xXx

I totally understand where you are coming from..I had a few bad days last week and another today :-(( Im going to drink loads of water from now and still to CD as I want to get to goal before the end of July...you'd have thought so close to goal Id be more determined that ever, but for some...

Well Done! WoopWoop!! xx

Ooh Id like to know too xx

Wow Wow and Wow! Im so jealous but VEY happy for you...what a bargain too..who knows you may have ended up paying more with ebay lady....you'll look stunning in it I'm sure..xx

Well done you...what a great idea...Im going to get a top in a smaller size and use it as a motivation......

Just had a thought...too keep me motivated when Im feeling weak and want food and to keep my hands busy Im going to make myself a type of mood board. Gonna get a piece of card and stick stuff on there that I can refer to in my moments of weakness. For eg, pics from mags and catalogues of...

Aww, i can imagine your frustration.... Personally for me the bars made me bloated and windy and my weightloss was nearly non existent, so I stopped them, it was hard at first as I relied on them to get me through. Youve done well so far and Im sure it will sort itself out... Good Luck xx

I checked once but no one was there...not tried again to be honest. xx

I want to feel like me again rather than having to telling people Ive just met that I'm a mum of two straightaway so that I can justify being fat! Also want to put on any of my clothes without it taking an hour to see which outfit makes me look less fat and then end up wearing the first thing...

That makes total sense...I think breaking it down makes it more achievable and motivating...I work to half stone goals...Good luck babe youre doing really well. xx

Well done Vicki...Youve done really well! x

Im tempted to try the porridge....at the moment Im living off tetras....

I've been a bit poorly with a cold over the last week as well as being away from home for a day without my cd packs...so ive been a bit naughty to say the least...:cry: So, I've decided to draw a line (below)under last week a start afresh! ___________________________________ Heres to getting...

*wolf whistles* Looking good lady!! Thats the best feeling ever when people notice your weight loss and take time to comment....it puts you on a high for the whole day..... Youre doing really well...well done!

Thats a FAB incentive!! Well Done! xx

Well Done You lady!! xx

:happy096: Hey you passed..Congratulations!! WooHoo!

How fab is that! Well done!

Hi Welcome! I think it does depend on how much you have to lose...I had 1.5 stones to lose and lost 4lbs in my first week...which is loads less than a lot of people.. Having said that...Ive lost more weight more quicker on CD than any other diet. I think (I may not be right) a lot of...

LizzMB Thats great news about your DH! Hope youre feeling better soon..xx :sick:

Some great ideas there! I love the photography one....xx

Oh gosh I was getting all nervous for you scrolling down the posts!! Good Luck babes xx

Hi Didnt see a post for adding our thoughts and support to get through today so thought I'd start one..Sorry if im stepping on any toes ;) Post on here to let us know how you are getting on today.. Im full of cold but at least its got rid of my appetite! Hoping for a 2lb loss to get me to...

I cant wait to reach my goal looking at you! My goal is 8st 13 too!

Thats fantastic!! What an inspiration...Xx

Sexy ;-)

especially at this time of the year..Its so hot and a nice cook shake is just what I need. Tried a frozen chocolate tetra last night while kids tucked into an ice cream and it was gorgeous!! Love it cant believe I missed out for so long! Normally during the summer I get very dehydrated and...

Wow you sound really motivated! It sounds like CD will really suit you, as it does with me as I needed to take food out of the equation. you'll be seeing results before you know it. I hope this is the last diet I ever do (which is a big deal as I've tried EVERYTHING in the last few years!!)...

Well done you two..what a team!!! xxx

Hi I'm always struggling with diets due to slow losses and losing motivation as a consequence..however CD is totally different..I LOVE IT! You

Good luck! We'll be seeing 'less of you' very soon!!!! xx

the last few pounds?? I had a stone and a half to lose, I've managed the stone (it took two go's though), but am thinking the last 7lbs will take longer as its harder to shift the last bit... Whats your experiences if youre the same as me...

Flower

Wow you look great...yes I agree colour does suit you! xx

hi I usually only post only here when Im feeling down about being on CD, but today Im feeling mega positive.. Thursday was the best day on CD as I was sat at work minding my own business when a girl who Ive never spoken to before came up to me and said "me and my friend were just talking and...

I was looking at some pics of me a few years ago when I was about 2-3lbs lighter than what I am now and I think I actually look slimmer now! I got my hubbys opinion and he said I had a bigger belly and face(!) on the old pics.. Could it be that on CD I am losing just fat as before I may just...

Im feeling good as im saying no to food not because I have to, but because I want to....I'm 4lbs away from my mini goal and I want it so bad that I can actually see it happening...such a positive feeling. Also had my hair done this morning, so feel great. not even this heavy rain can dampen...

Ive loved reading your diary posts..thank you for this as its very inspiring. Youve been through a tough time and still manage to be an inspiration...i'll carry on following your posts... Ria xx

Thank you all for your kind comments. some really good ideas there like going forward in time and sensing how i'd feel if I gave into the cravings. Im sure i'll look back at this when im at goal and see how far Ive come (positive thinking! ha!) hubbys stolen chips didnt get past the kitchen...

Im on day 2 (2nd attempt) and have done well up to an hour or so ago...I felt really dizzy and weak so I had a few chips from my DH tea. That turned into a few more and then a slice of bread plus strawberries and chocolate. Ive drunk loads of water so shouldnt have felt so hungry...... I dont...

Just done a test with a Ketostix and it shows Im in ketosis..its only day two! is that possible...Ive not cut down carbs prior to this diet...:confused: Ria

Hi all Ive just re-started CC 100% SS and am 10st. Ive got a wedding in 3 weeks...if I stick to the plan totally..how much do you think i can realistically lose?? Id speak to my CD councellor but I left CD a few weeks ago and am just using up the shakes I have left to see if Ive got the...

hi I posted a similar post a few days ago...ive just had 3rd weigh in and only lost a pound. I know what you mean about it being disheartening, especially for a cost of £40 pw and feeling hungry.. For me, I think its the bars that are slowing my loss down so I'm going to do just shakes this...

Hi Lily, thanks for your reply...Im 5ft 3 (and a half!) I've about a stone and a half to lose altogether and I understand about smaller losses as Ive not a lot to lose...its just that I feel massive and even though Ive lost 9lbs I cant see it or feel it. I just wanted to see more reward for...

Thanks for your help everyone..Ive opted not to buy any bars this week so will see how I get on....its hard work is this dieting malarkey!!

Hi, Ive just had my 3rd weigh in and have only lost a 1lb...:cry: I have been 100% ss and its not been easy as I had 3 days away from home, so I was really looking forward to seeing a good result on the scales. Wk 1 and 2 I lost 4lbs each time. The only thing I can think off that was...

Hi i was just wondering if this was a side effect of CD...my poo I've noticed is black in colour...is this normal :o sorry if this is tmi! xx

Hi, When you say 2nd or 3rd colour, do you mean from negative onwards or from traces onwards?? Im confused!!!

Hi, Im on day 5 now on SS and have just done a test with a Ketostix and the result was the around the 3rd and 4th onecolour, but not the really dark ones...does that mean I'm in ketosis?? :p Thanks xx

Hi, I weigh 10st 7 (5ft 3") and want to lose about a stone and a half to get to 8st 13...is anyone else with similar stats?? I'm wondering what wk 1 loss may be like and whether it will be quite small as I dont have too much to lose. Also is 6-7 weeks realistic? Im on SS until I get into...

Thank you all so much for your replies. You really are a lovely bunch! Im really looking forward to Fridays WI...will let you know how I get on. Thanks again Ria xx

hi, I just started ss on Friday and its sunday night and ive messed up already...had something to eat above my shake allowance...im really gutted as have felt like doing the same over the last few days but stopped myself....i was so motivated this afternoon.. i wont go into details about...
