I thought today was never going to end. Got through my exam this morning, three hours of my life that I am never getting back and then weigh in this evening. To say that I have been stressed out this week is an understatement but exams are finished now and I can concentrate on making this...

Its the roar of your inner lion!! Thats always what I have told my little boy anyway!

I set my goal at BMI 27 which will result in me weighing 15 stone. I intend to use this as my point to start working up the plans and the level at which I know I need to reign myself back in. I am sure that if and when I get to this point I will probably change my mind, but that is a problem...

You the man Jim. Feels good to be resisting those Parmo hot shots doesnt it.

Fatandfedup I think if you give your other half a quick kick in the bollocks he will be much more understanding of your weight loss effort!

I have to admit I am having a rotten week so far. I have an exam to do on Thursday morning and am trying to resist the lure of the fridge but it is unusually hard this week. When I get the pesky exam out of the way I will be back and firing on all cylinders. Good luck to everyone with a...

Well done everyone, for the record then we have lost the weight of a normal human leg between us!!!!! Only another leg, two arms a torso and a head to go!!!!

Another 4lbs from me never to return, you beauty!!!

Can I join your Thursday club? My weigh in is tonight at 5.45. I always weigh heavier in the evening on my CDC scales but that is the time that I have been weighed from the beginning so I suppose I better stick to it.

Well done Jim, Another 5lb gone forever. I think your weight loss does start to slow down as your body gets used to operating on less calories, I suppose that is why it is so vital to go up the levels as you get closer to goal to ensure that your body doesnt go into shock getting proper...

The suits I have are chest 48 so that might come in handy as you get smaller. If you are looking for a bargain to tide you over what about ebay. You can get some good stuff on there

My CDC told me that the water should be in addition to any tea or coffee that you take during the day. I used to be a total coffee freak, drinking at least 6 or 7 cups a day, milk and a big spoon of sugar, since being on CD I probably have 2 maybe 3 a day with a little skimmed milk (SS+) and...

People are so used to seeing you as a larger person that they cannot imagine you at that size and project what they want for you. If you want to lose 10 stone, you absolutely go for it. If when you get to 12 stone you are comfortable with that then have a think at that point. If you want to...

right now! I might have something that doesnt fit me that might do you until you get to goal??

Now then Jim, I am in exactly the same position as you and my suits are falling off me, my belts dont fit and most of my clothes are now hanging off me. The advantage to this of course is that all the old stuff that didnt fit, now fits perfectly so that takes care of that until I get to...

Thank you all for the positive comments, trying to get me back on the straight and narrow. To give myself something to aim for in a truly tangible way I have been out at lunchtime and bought myself a beautiful Hugo Boss suit. It is two inches too small for me on the chest and two inches too...

I dont know what it is but ever since I have been on CD I have constantly craved meat. It seems like over the past week and especially at the weekend I could not resist and have succumbed to cheating on this diet that has served me so well so far. I think because I have lost so well and so...

soup and a bar for dinner sets me up just right for the evening when I get home from work. I have to admit that i love the choc orange and the caramel ones but can take or leave the others. I suppose we all have different tastes..

I may be chubby but when I am thin you will still be ugly........

Just had my weigh in exactly one month in and I am pleased, no ecstatic to report that I have lost 33lbs in a month and a total of 19 inches off various places of my body.... YES!!!!

Craving Destroyer Control Determination Countdown 2 Destiny

As a bloke doing CD all I can tell you is my own experience, and I know that as blokes we are all stubborn and set in our ways and diets are not for us and all of that, but my personal experience of this diet is that you cannot be persuaded, or bullied or coerced into this diet, if you are you...

I started on the 2nd June and have lost 28lbs so far. (according to my CDC's scales that is )

The biggest thing that CD has given me up to now is more self confidence. I have never really been bothered about what people say about me, although I would not be human if I said that it didnt effect me at all. For me this diet is all about taking control. Control of our unhealthy eating...

I suppose I look at it another way. Over the past few weeks I have taken great pleasure in being able to carry on with my normal weekend routine, went to the takeaway on friday night to fetch the wife fish and chips, didnt bother me in the slightest. Went out for lunch with the family on...

I have to admit that I am a scale jumper, since I have been on this diet I must get on my home scales at least once a day and the difference in weight even over the course of the day can be huge. First thing in the morning I would say I am probably 4-5 lbs lighter than I am in the evening. I...

Every journey starts with a single step... Well done you

My positive thought of the day is I need to buy myself a new suit as the one I am wearing for work today makes me look like a little boy that has dressed up in his dads clothes!!!! None of my belts have enough holes to fasten anymore and all this after only three and a half weeks

Dont panic, I am in my fourth week of SS+ and my cdc has actively encouraged me to have some ham or some protein if I ever feel lightheaded. As long as you dont turn it into a regular thing it should not cause you a problem and probably hasnt even taken you out of ketosis. I had a...

Just back from my third weigh in and another 5 pound loss this week!!! Two stones gone in just over three weeks. Only another three stone to go.....

I have been out on my bike a few times for a good thrash and have felt worse after that, I am nervous about upping the amount of calories that I am taking in as at the moment I do not feel hungry. I guess I will see what the cdc has to say tonight.

It all depends on whether you are looking for Mr Right, or Mr right now!!! The confidence that you have from losing all the weight will shine through and believe it or not blokes notice that. If you look like you are having fun and are fun to be with that will attract people to you...

32 lbs is amazing Jim. Well done to you fella. Going for my weigh in tonight and I know for a fact I have not lost that much. I am on SS+ which I have been having as the milk in my coffee. I have to admit that I have cheated a little this week as I have felt a bit lightheaded even after all...

I have always tried to ignore the fact that I was bigger and liked it in a way that everyone called me big man. I always ignored people who made derogatory comments and probably managed to intimidate a lot of people who would have made comments because of my size. It bothers me more now...

Those Parmo hot shots are calling out to you I can tell!!! I would say that as long as you can get back to your 1000 a day after your evening out the effects should not be too bad. It may take a bit longer to get to your goal but I would not beat yourself up about it. At the end of the...

20lbs in three weeks is excellent. Well done and keep up the good work

cd pies, what a fantastic idea..

8 stone is amazing, fantastic, well done

Second official weigh in and another 4 pounds gone forever..... I can keep this going and I am shrinking before my very eyes.

well done you, I am off to be weighed at 6 tonight and fingers crossed for some more losses. It does get easier when you settle into a rhythm and the fact that you can see the weight dropping off makes it so much easier to stay focussed. Heres to another good week.

Well done fella, Just shows what no parmo in your life means to your waistline!!! My weigh in is tonight at 6. will report later!!!

Speaking as an annoying older brother myself it is only the reaction that he is after. Secretly I am sure he is really proud of what you are doing to tyr and help yourself. If you dont react he will soon get bored and move on to the next thing to annoy you.

It was my little boy who provided me with my most embarrassing moment, jumping up and down on me and saying I was just like a bouncy castle with my big tummy was enough to make me want to start to diet...

I needed to punch another hole in my belt this morning as it was too BIG..

Just remember to build up the water slowly, especially if you are not used to drinking a lot as it can be a shock to the system. I have only been going two weeks and its amazing to see the weight drop off and people start to notice.

So I can see my little boy grow up

I am still fairly new to this and have only been on CD for two weeks now and I want to help my weight loss by doing more exercise. I went out on my bike for the first time in a while last night and had a good 45 minutes around the village and into the forest and it felt great. when I came...

Porridge for every meal, now THAT is extreme dieting

Well managed to get out on my bike tonight and managed more than I thought. I gave it a good 45 minutes around the village and through the forest and I was absolutely exhausted by the time I got home. I have to admit I am feeling it a bit now, have felt a little lightheaded since i got back...

Parmo's are truly a creation of a higher power. There is nothing quite like them after a good night out. Unfortunately or should I say fortunately now that I am on a diet you cannot seem to get them anywhere other than Teesside. The fact that I now live over 300 miles away from Pizza...

My asthma kicks in whenever I try and get out on my bike, but I am going out tonight to give it another go. We have got some lovely countryside near us and the new forest on our doorstep. Not sure if I can make it there quite yet, but I am going to build up to it slowly.

How does everyone on here cope while the rest of your family is eating?? Coming to the end of my second week on CD now and I am finding it easier to live with the rest of the family eating as normal. Wife had fish and chips the other night and I was completely fine with it, in fact I even...

I am having soups for lunch when I am at work and I take a big plastic jug and whisk the soup with a fork. Not quite as good as a blender but good enough to get through the day. I havent been able to get away with the shakes like that though as if I try and mix them up without a blender I...

well done you. That first weigh in certainly makes it all worthwhile. Keep up the good work.

Big H, Thanks for that. I am really hoping to keep it off this time as well. 8-9 weeks hey, I think I can manage that.

As a bloke I have never been one for clothes shopping at the best of times but as I got bigger I absolutely hated it. The very idea of trailing round the shops and looking at clothes that didnt and wouldnt fit made me miserable. It made it worse that my wife loves going clothes shopping and...

Just had my first taste of the chocolate one. I thought it tasted like the bottom half of a mars bar.... not the worst taste in the world..

And I have lost 19 pounds!!!!!! Unbelievable!!! I am so thrilled with this diet, its fantastic. All the motivation I need to keep on going.

right there with you Jim, My first proper weigh in tomorrow after 9 days on the diet. Must admit it is nice to find a boro lad on these boards, I moved down south about ten years ago but my heart has always stayed in the boro.

its great isnt it. Had my first weigh in after three days and had lost 7 pounds!! Am going for my next weigh in tomorrow and I can tell that I have lost more. looks like we have a similar journey ahead of us.

drinking the water does get easier as you get used to it. it seems to be a gradual thing as you phase other drinks out. I am on day 9 now and have easily had my water today and am just going to fill my bottle up again. This is from someone who never used to drink water, unless it was in the...

Lunar Jim, Parmo's are partly what got me in this state in the first place. A little bit of comfort eating after the Boro got relegated!!!

Big H, Thats amazing. You look like two different people. Its seeing all the before and after photos that people put on here that is giving me so much hope that I can get the weight off this time. Good for you mate well done.

Thank you for your kind words, I am determined to lose the weight and keep it off, even though I do still keep dreaming of Pizza Hut!! I surprised myself this morning though as I went to a breakfast meeting and abstained from the free full english breakfast on offer. Just a glass of water for...

8th day into CD now and for the first time I woke up and felt full of energy and as if I have had a good nights sleep. still getting used to the flavours and not having anything but the packs but it does seem to be getting easier. i think my biggest challenge is going to be not getting...

i tried a spoonful of vindaloo powder to the vegetable soup last night. What a difference, it was almost edible!!

Hi all, another newbie here. I am new to all this so be gentle with me. I went for my first weigh in with my cdc the other day just to make sure that I was in Ketosis and I have lost 7 pounds after three days. I have been doing SS+ milk for a week now and have to wait until Thursday for my...

Hi there, I started CD on Tuesday and am having mixed feelings about this whole thing. long way to go but i am confident that i can make it this time. i havent had anything other than the packs and am still trying to find flavours that i can live with. its good to know that there are...
