I love my boobs (big) and my midriff (hardly any fat there!) I hate my tummy, it seems all my fat has sunk to that point lol Pam.

Oh it's so difficult this week. I'm on jury service and just can not get all the water down my neck! I have tried really hard to drink as much as I can at night but 3 litres is just way to much. I dare not have to much during the day, for obvious reasons lol Will just wait and see what happens...

Sometimes it's harder to see a weight loss if you're still wearing your larger size clothes. I know I'm certainly doing that as it would cost me a fortune otherwise! I wouldn't worry to much as I'm sure they'll see your great weight loss soon :) Pam.

Well it's the end of week 4 for me and still going strong. managed to lose another 7 pounds, this makes nearly two stones in the 4 weeks. Very pleased with that :) I know the loss will slow down but any loss is a bonus! I'm on jury service for the next two weeks and it's unbelievably boring so...

Oh I was born in Wexford but live in London. My parents are still there, in Kilrane, and I go over often to see them. Hope you manage ok Anna. Pam.

It isn't actually true these days. In the 70's there were reports of this but they proved to be wrong. There is an excellent article here Ketosis which explains a bit about it. It does cover it from a diabetic point of view but the article explains a lot about ketosis. Pam.

Well it's exactly four weeks since I started CD and I am so very pleased with how things are going. I got weighed this morning and have lost another 7 pounds. That's nearly two stone in 4 weeks :D I know it won't be nearly as much as that each month but I am over the moon. This week is my add a...

Just a quickie - not sure where to post this! I've just bought a great set of glass scales from Lloyds Pharmacy. There were reduced from £49.99 to £14.99. They measure all sorts of things...body fat etc and you can store your details under your own name in them. You can have up to 10 profiles...

Well its week four for me this week. Not managed to get weighed on Monday as it was a bank holiday, so have got to wait till next week. Hope it's a good one! Diet is still going well and seem to be right into it now. have noticed a couple of my t shirts are a little baggier then they used to be...

Well done Claire. If you use CD I think you'll need a much smaller wedding dress, not just one size smaller! Pam.

Next week (Monday) I start jury service for two weeks. I'm not worried about the eating bit as I can have a bar but how the hell am I going to drink my water! There is no way I will be able to drink 3 - 4 litres at night and obviously no way I will be able to do that during the court case. Any...

Well done. That's a brilliant loss :) Pam.

I've just had a rather nice surprise. I ran a nice bubble bath and did the usual gently lowering acrobatics to get into it. Was about to lay back and suddenly realised that the water went all the way around :D OK I admit there wasn't a lot of water either side of my ample hips and waist but...

Well I survived a friends birthday party yesterday :) She had a do in the daytime and another at night. God knows how I did it but nothing passed my lips that shouldn't have, not even a piece of birthday cake. Feel good that I managed it. I won't be having a weigh in this week, as it's a bank...

I'm sure everyone that reads this will be rubbing their elbows. Well I just did and they are lovely and smooth. I'm sure last time I rubbed them they were hard and horrible. I wonder if it will work on my heels lol Pam.

I never think of the total amount of weight I want to lose. I've estimated that I need to lose 10 stone as well but, as I've asked my counsellor (the lovely Diva), not to tell me until I am 4 weeks into the diet I don't actually know. I simply think of the next stone and am taking it one at a...

Well done Lisa :)

Well I had my week 2 weigh in last night. Have to admit I was slightly surprised as it was only 3 pounds. I stuck to the diet all week and thought it would be about the 5 pound mark. Oh well, its a loss and that's what's important :) Pam.

I only weigh myself at my weekly weigh in. I have seen so many people become unhappy because their weight differs on a daily basis. This way it's always a nice surprise :)

As it's hard for me to image myself as a size 10/12 I would like to be a 14/16. I remember being that when I was about 20 and loved having the curves in all the right places. things may be a bit different now at the age I am lol Pam.

I hope my book has arrived at work and will be waiting for me tomorrow. Will start reading straight away and being as I'm a bit of a speed reader will have it finished in no time lol Pam.

Hi Louisa, Hope you're managing ok this weekend. Remember, these next few days will be the worse, after that you'll be fine :) Good luck and look forward to seeing how you're doing. Pam.

Thanks for that Kamilla, I'll give it a try. Your tracker looks good as you're over half way to your goal :) Pam.

The first few days really are the worse Lorriane. A week ago I had the headache from hell and felt cr*p. Now...I feel great. Once you're in ketosis you'll feel much better, honestly :) Keep at it, it's worth it. Pam.

It really is very important to have the 3 packs as together they conatin all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function correctly. Without the 3rd pack you will make yourself deficient in items and could become ill. I know exactly how you feel but it really is a case of having to...

Day 11. Well I'm still on it. It's been going really well. Not had to many problems this week. Got a bit of indigestion which I think is strange as I hardly eat anything. How do you get that from water ? I'm beginning to get the feeling that I may get a bit "bunged up", if you get my drift lol...

Well done Angela, you must be feeling over the moon. Pam.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. It's unbelievable how attached we get to our animals. I had to do the same with my 17 year old dog a few years ago. The pain of getting it done does fade and now I remember what a great dog he was. Have a hug xx Pam.

Unfortunately not Lorraine :( It's water, water, water from now on lol You can buy flavourings from your counsellor that can help you get it all down. Good luck. Pam.

If you had to pick just one reason why you are trying to lose weight now, what would it be ? It can't be health related but one ordinary thing that would make you feel better. Mine is I want to sit on a plane and know that the tray is going to go completely flat and I will be able to...

It's not the look of a bike that turns my head but the sound. God the sound of a nice Ducati gets me drooling, love the 999. Pam.

I've only been on it a week so mine is 16.75 pounds. It will be different next week though lol Pam.

I have to admit that I think eating in front of the tv makes you totally unaware of what you're eating. I used to do it and can honestly say there were times I hadn't a clue what I was putting in my mouth. I'd like to think that once I'm back on food I will set my dinner on a nice plate on my...

I'm never tempted to jump on the scales, but then again...I don't own any lol I think if I did I would on and off them like a yoyo. I like the fact that each week my weigh in is going to be a huge surprise. Pam.

Wow, the site is great considering it's only been going a month. I didn't realise it was so new. Well done for getting it into shape and being so user friendly. Pam.

Hi Kamilla, Hope your awful headache goes soon. Like you, I have had "dog breath" all week, so have gone and bought some Retardex. I couldn't stand opening my mouth lol It seems to be doing the trick. Hope things improve for you. Pam.

This looks like fun so I thought I would join you all. I've ordered mine this morning and apparently, according to the seller, it will be despatched in 1 day so hopefully I will have it by the end of the week. Look forward to reading it :)

Well done. You'll fly past that mark next week :) Pam.

Hi Louisa. I've been on CD a week now and it's going well, I'm sure it will for you. Read a few threads and you'll soon see what to expect in the early days. I now manage to drink 4 litres a day and like you hated water a week ago! Good luck. Pam.

It's time like these that makes us realise that all the hard work dieting has been worth it. Well done :) Pam.

Yuk, yuk, yuk. My breath smells the same as my daughters puppy! I've browsed around and realised this is a result of being on SS so I've bought some Retardex, god I hope it works. Anyone else had this problem or got any suggestions how to remedy it ? Pam.

I think it would have to be Angelina Jolie's body as she is in Tomb Raider. Mind you she's also nice as herself. Pam.

I used to hate water and would rarely drink a glass. I'm not saying that I actually like it but I found a way that works for me. I put a large bottle (1.5 ltrs) on my desk at 8 a.m. and just keep drinking a glass every half hour. I make sure I drink it all by noon and then I fill it up again...

Well done Tracie, you're doing really well :) Pam.

Well I managed my first week on CD and had a great weight loss, a massive 16.75 pounds :) I was actually speechless when Gayle told me lol Everything else is going well. I seem to be ready for CD this time and am determined to succeed. Pam.

Day 7 of CD. OMG I am so surprised. Tonight was my weigh in and for once I was nearly lost for words. I have managed to lose an incredible 16.75 pounds :D I am so happy. It was way, way more than I ever expected. I know it won't go on like that but what a start! Before I got weighed Gayle...

Oh I hadn't thought about measuring myself. I'll do it straight away and try not to be surprised at the inches lol

Hi again everyone. I've been away for the weekend and only just got back. I have no idea how I did it but YES I managed to stick to my SS all weekend :) If you knew me you would know what I usual get up to on events like this one. I usually eat, drink, eat, drink etc etc lol It was fairly...

Wow that's brilliant. Well done :)

Dom, I think it's Stay At Home Mum. Oh what a good idea this is.... 1) How old are you? 46 2) What part of the country are you from? London 3) What diet are you doing? CD 4) When did you start this diet? 8th August 2006 5) How much do you want to lose in total? About 10 stone I think...

Day 3 - What a difference a day makes. They should write a song with those words in it lol Today I feel brilliant :) God knows what's happened but my mind is clear, I don't feel hungry and I am unbelievably positive. I bought some ketostix, tested this morning and not in ketosis, tested tonight...

I'm a WeMITT as well :) I've tried numerous times to do something about it and failed but this time is different. I remember something I said ages ago.... How many times do we eat when we are actually hungry ? Thinking about my previous eating habits I can honestly say that I can''t remember...

I drink at least 3 and aim for 4. It's hard going but I'm sure it will help with the weight loss.

Well it's the end of day 2 and I'm still on CD lol My headache actually got worse, so bad that I had to leave work at lunchtime, take a couple of migralieve and go to bed. I woke 2 hours later feeling much better. Funnily enough today has been easier than I thought it was going to be, even...

You will get to love balsamic vinegar on salads. A friend of mine had never had it before she did LL but is now totally addicted to it. She puts it on everything lol Well done with you weight loss, you're doing really well. I hope I manage to do as well as you in 4 weeks.

DAY 2 OMG what a headache I have. It woke me at 3 a.m. this morning and hasn't shifted yet. I've taken some pain killers so hopefully they will kick in soon. I'd forgotten what withdrawal was like. Feeling very tired but then I suppose that's usual in the early days. Right, off to have my...

Wow, what a lovely response, thank you. Well I survived my first day :) I've drunk 3 litres of water, which considering until yesterday I only drank one glass of, isn't bad. The shakes were ok, had banana, strawberry and then chocolate. Have a headache coming on but I know that's because my...

Wow Ann your weight loss is truly wonderful, you must be absolutely delighted. I can imagine the thought of "real" food is fairly daunting but I'm sure you'll handle it well. Good luck, Pam.

Well I finally did it. After talking about restarting CD I finally rejoined last night. I didn't even want to hear what weight I was as I was so unhappy with myself. I've asked to see my weight in 4 weeks, by then I'll have lost some weight and feel happier. I have loads and loads to lose but...
