Hi everyone. Good to see everyone's losses. I've just come back from Cyprus early yesterday, ate what I wanted and put 7 lbs on BUT I joined Slimming World and a gym last night. I am determined to lose another 2 stone but by eating healthily and exercising. CD is just too intensive for me altho...

Wow - you can really see the difference! Keep up the good work !

You look lovely in it - show off your figure! x

I am just the same! Cheese, ham, a few of the kids crisps but, whilst its not ideal, I can stop and at least I am not eating the whole packet of crisps!!! :17729: I actually think I am ready to up my steps, I think my body is craving more food and the 1000 cal plan would be ideal. have you...

Weight loss does slow down for me but if anything, I just become a right unreasonable cow! No different from the other days of the month my OH would say!! ;)

Thank you Curlywurly - your losses are an inspiration, you look brilliant!

Congratulations!!! :happy036: What better reason to keep the weight off now than fitting into a beautiful wedding dress!

Thanks for the advice everyone, I really appreciate it. Well, I didn't have a shake but I did have an omelette. I know eggs aren't on the plan but I have heard they are being introduced later in the year. I just couldn't face anymore chicken or cottage cheese!!! You are right tho, avoid the...

Hi LizzMB! Thats exactly what I am planning to do. When I went to the gym before I managed to keep the weight off for 18 months and follow a healthy diet with a few goodies. It only crept on when I stopped going. Exercise definately has to feature in long term plans in keeping weight off...

Help! I am 3lbs away from my mini target with only 8 days left until my holiday and I am ill. For the past few days Ive had a sore throat, headache, cold and feel very run down. I am a creature of habit and even today I replaced a shake with a chicken salad this afternoon cos I felt eating may...

Well done on your losses!! x

3lbs? Thats really good, well done :talk017:

Im OK with that if everyone else is

well done on your loss. 2lbs is fab! I am looking to start 1000 a week Monday in preparation for my holiday. I understand, there does seem to be so much going on and as my new job starts next Monday, I think I won't have time to log my weight or be able to follow whats going on as much either...

I had the same thing happen to me in Boots. When she finished her lecture I asked her quite haughtily " and how dangerous are p*ss sticks anyway"! I am not usually rude to store staff but I am sure had I pushed her further, she wouldn't have had a clue what ketosis was!! Personally I walked...

Fab result Rhiana!! Claire - good that the scales aren't going up. Surely 1000cals you will still lose, even if not on the first week?

Thanks Mooee. I still may stick around.... Rhiana - did you pick him out? Not sure where I would have looked! :eek: Hope you have got over your shock now though. Claire - good luck with the 1000 cals. Let me know how you get on, maybe I should consider it before I go to slimming world? Will...

I am here for the moment and I will give my weight loss a final push! Unfortunately it TOTM this week :( Congrats on your weight loss this week, you are in the 160's!!! You have lost so much. Off to work now - have a good day everyone! x

Hello girls. Well, I've been busy the last few days on the house, hence no posts. Hope everyone is doing OK. I've come to a decision, mainly due to money but also emotional costs, that I will only be on this diet another few weeks up until my holiday in July and then after that, I am going onto...

Hello everyone. I haven't weighed myself this week as I haven't been at my house. It will have to be later in the week. Congrats on everyone's weight loss so far this week!! x

Don't keep wasting money on tests. Give it another day or so then test again. Regardless of the test and how much they cost, if you are pregnant it will show, even on the cheap ones. Stay focussed on the diet and decide when you know for sure. Good luck!

Hope you feel better Mooee :patback:

Thanks Mooee I think Ive just replaced my Diet Coke habit with Coke Zero! It seems the general consensus is its OK to drink altho probably not in too big a quantities!!!

Thanks for that positive reply. I do need to vary my meals abit and not get stuck into a rut. Thing is, I am not really a cook and was brought up in a very meat, potatoes and 2 veg household!! Ive not even thought about the next steps but yes, I suppose another stone and I can move up. That...

I'm def going to order the husks too. I read that they need to be the 'pure' ones or something. Glad you had a good day anyway. I had a good day too although I am really craving 'other' food still. I was really grumpy with my other half tonight just cos I was having (what I considered) another...

Hi TraceM. I've been on 810 from the start of my CD diet (4 weeks and 3 days!) and lost a total of 15.75lbs. I know everyone is different but I managed to get into ketosis OK too. Good luck

Yeah I heard about the husks too. Might order them now. They were 11.99 in Holland and Barrett!! Bit pricy on top of what we are paying already but I do like the sound of them. Fingers crossed for us both!

I have that problem too! Its not just me then. This is the weekI want to lost 3lbs too. Lets go for it this week!! The weird thing is, I'd like to think that I'm pretty certain I will reach 11stone, maybe 10 st 7lbs but its the maintenance that scares me more than anything. Thats where I...

Estate agent....I know, someone has to do it eh! :ashamed0005:

Claire I think you have done amazing so far. I dont think I could do a week of SS or even SS+!!! 1/2 lb is still a loss but I do understand your frustration but just look at what you have lost - 4 1/2 stone, thats fantastic! I went to see my CDC tonight too. Her scales weigh a lot heavier...

Thanks but I am starting to struggle. Its not that I want to eat bad stuff, I just want to eat different foods. Anyone else feeling like this? I am not going to give up though and after my holiday in July, I will look at a low carb diet, like Atkins.

Hello everyone Ive lost 3 lbs this week! :bliss:

It seems like your head is in the right place Mooee to lose the rest. Iam sure whatever you decide will be best for you. You've come so far already. I am off to Thorpe Park now. I have packed my tetra pack and bar. No picking at bad food for me today....!!! Take care everyone! x

Ms JMC - I am the same. I had some green tea the other day and felt really nauseous afterwards but I wasn't aware of the boosting the metabolism by 4%. Might give it another go...!

Oh Mooee thats such a shame you've had no support. You've done fantastic so far, I am sure if you decide to come off CD, you'll lose the rest. Well I went to the wedding yesterday and was so pleased that I resisted the choc cake, drank water most of the day and avoided carbs. I did however...

Well done Rhiana on your loss - fab! x :happy096: Claire - I hope you and your little boy feel better soon. I know how you feel. And its worse when you have a little one to look after too. :patback: Right, I am off to a wedding today. I am going to be good. The scales are starting to go down...

Thanks Mooee. Fortunately my chest infection is going. I think you are right though, maybe I should have eaten properly (not bad food!) and just let the virus do its course! I have to say though - had a bar for the second time this week, peanut and cranberry and its like a chocolate fix! I...

mmm thats a thought. Not a lot of cough medicine but maybe enough to stall things a bit. Ive reread the booklet and it definately says 3 CD meals plus a small meal. And for SS its just 3 meals then, nothing more other than water? I didn't question what I was having until I read a few posts...

Sorry - I think I must have muddled up the names. Too much cough medicine I think! I know its been a difficult weekend for some of you so heres a :grouphugg: I only lost 1.5lbs. I started TOTM today so hopefully there will be a boost in weight loss this week. I have a wedding to go to Friday...

Alexmummy your results speak for themselves. You've done brilliantly and a loss is still a loss. No doubt your parents are seeing how well you are doing and, cos they are able to, want to help. Don't feel guilty, its what parents are for! Glad you have got through your difficult weekend too...

It seems you are all doing really well with your losses. Well done! :clap:

I've felt the same over the past few days. It occurred to me today whilst in a coffee shop and seeing someone buy a cake, that I am a bit like an alcoholic - I will always crave the naughty food that I know will put weight on me. I am always going to be fighting food demons. I just keep...

Evening everyone. Glad everyones diet is going well. I've struggled this week with feeling a bit under par but I havent succumbed (well, just a bit of ham whilst making my OH's lunch!) but I have really missed food this week> Crisps, chocolate, all the stuff we aren't meant to eat. I really...

Fantastic result - well done :party0019:

I hated the porridge at first too but after a few days, I got used to them. I think I kind of liked the fact that they weren't shakes, more 'food like'. Maybe give it a few days, see if your taste buds change?

Yes, we weigh about the same! Maybe less for you with your WI tonight (good luck BTW). I lost a few lbs just prior to starting CD but the loss is 10lbs so far with CD. I am struggling today as I don't feel very well (swine flu? :yuk: ). I don't feel particulary hungry and I am not sure the...

Count me in! I weighed 12st 12lbs and my wi is every Monday at home as I can only see the CDC every 2 weeks due to work and other commitments. My scales are pretty on par with hers. My first goal is to get to 11st by my holiday date, which is 12th July. I have a longterm goal to reach 10st...

Morning - is there any more room for a (soon to be) little one? I am on day 14 of 810 and lost 10lbs so far. Can be quite a lonely diet so would welcome any support and having a team seems like a great idea. Look forward to hearing from you, Nat x

Hey well done. My 2nd weigh-in is on Saturday. Hope I've done as well as you! Nat

Well done Johnners!

Well I got through day six by spending the evening putting gel nails on. It worked hurrah! Distraction is the tool eh. Its good to hear the results and news of others at the same stage. x

I think the posts above confirm to me this is the best diet. I did struggle a bit yesterday but didnt give in and lost a lb so I am really motivated agin. Well done everyone in the weight loss - its really inspired me x

I am glad I am not the only one struggling. Day 6 has been a nightmare for me too although I think its mainly cos its the first day of the weekend. During the week, when I am at work, I can distract myself but at home, the temptation is there. IN saying there, my house is very clean today...

14lbs? Wow. The 810 is perfect for me as I can still have something to eat although nearing my holiday in 10 weeks, I can always go SS. I did this diet last year and happily went on holiday. I need to lose weight regularly or I lose motivation. Good luck with your weigh-in on Monday. A...

My first week is up tomorrow and I am on the 810 level and, allowing for the difference between mine and the CDC scales, I've lost approx 8lbs (it could be more). I know everyone will lose different amounts of weight on their first week due to varying factors but I would be interested to...

34 and determined to look better than in my 20's!

Hello - new to all this having just started this week. First thread Ive read already I feel more positive! So now I don't feel guilty about the few Coke Zeros I have this week! Thanks guys
