    Thanks Highland. My thyroid has been checked numerous times and the results always came back "within normal range" - whatever normal is! My friend has a really bad underactive thyroid and she's been convinced for a long time that my throid isn't right but the tests say otherwise.

    One of my prescribed meds has a side effect of having a dry mouth so I'm always glugging. Never thought about it flushing everything out too much.

    I'm Scared for ma first weigh =/

    You will see results. CD is brilliant at fast weight loss, unfortunately for me my body can't take it. I know, I've tried 4 times at different steps each time so it's a waste of money for me. Going back to WW tomorrow as it's worked for me in the past. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

    I don't know how many re-starts I've had! I lost weight successfully 10 years ago (3 stone in 5 months) but put it all back on and more then had a baby and here I am with 6 stone to lose. Tried WW numerous times since but haven't managed to stick with it for more than a couple of days. Today...

    Fainting and struggling

    My body lets me down on SS. I just can't do it despite 4 attempts. Not even SS+ because at 5ft9 SS+ is only 60 odd calories more than S for me as I would have to have 4 packs. This time I've started on 810. I get severe dizzy spells all the time on SS. Feel unsafe to drive etc. Hope you...

    About to get lectured for being on CD :-(

    Minxie is right. Why do you have to tell them. Make up something, tell them you aren't feeling very well. Don't stress yourself about telling them. No-one knows what I'm doing except my DH as I don't work (SAHM) so don't have to worry there and all our family are a couple of hundred miles...

    Trying to stay focused!!

    Don't give up. It will get easier. Explain to your DH that you didn't think his actions were very supportive. Sometimes people do things without thinking them through. Chin up.
