Hi, I'm back for the second time but when I did Cambridge last time I lost 6st. I only managed to do 4 weeks without proper food. I did that with lighter life. I then found cambridge and did the 810 step. I found this so much easier to do. I so looked forward to something to get my teeth into in...

I'm back after almost 10yrs. Back on CD. I started CD last week and could have cried when I got weighed. Im heavier than my start weight of nearly 10 yrs ago. I never did get to be that slim bride that I was aiming for. I had a stone to lose to get to goal but decided that 11st 6lb was good for...

I'm not that good with the tech stuff so might take a bit of time to adjust my stats. I had help to do all that stuff for me last time!!!

Here I go again!!! It has been almost 10yrs since I came on this site. Tbh, I totally forgot about it and came across it again by chance. I searched for a CD forum and it came up. I found some of my old posts....omg, I was so motivated back then. I had plenty of reason to lose the weight then. I...

Thanks for the kind words. I know i can do it and will do it:mad:

I can honestly say that if i had been offered a band last year, i would have taken the offer. I read up about banding....lots! I knew my GP wouldn't put me forward for it and there was no way i could afford it. I did considered getting into lots of debt for it. In the end i went down the...

Not been around here much.....too busy stuffing my face:mad: Looking around the boards just now which will hopefully get me back on track. I do my wii every day and since Friday i have gained 7lb:eek: i was expecting a gain but that is not funny! Yeh, i have eaten to extreme but still...

Not officially started WW yet. Trying to gather info at the mo. Does anyone know the pp of Burgen soya bread? Thanks.

Sounds like a case of sour grapes to me. You are actually doing something about your weight problem and it looks like this person is jealous. Rise above it and keep going. Who is the better person?/????

could you please move my thread in here, ta http://www.minimins.com/success-stories/172151-one-year.html

I can see a pert bum emerging. Well done x

Hi Gem, well done on the 3lb loss, that's great. I hadn't realised you had changed plans. was just in here for a nosey as i am thinking about what is going to suit me best once i stop CD. Have been doing my own version of CD for the past few weeks!!! still losing but just not as much. You...

Hi hon, great news about the biopsy, must be a weight off your mind. You never came 1st but you are still a winner. Well done. btw, you looked bloody terrified on that stage lol

Mmmmm, mint choc:D

That is sooo funny....how the roles have reversed!!!!!;)

Feeling pretty good this week. Not a huge loss but am less than a stone heavier than my partner:D Never in my wildest dreams did i believe that i could ever weigh 12st. I know i am not at goal but it does feel achievable now. Think this is the first time i have felt that positive. I...

Congratulations hon. You should be so proud of yourself. Good luck with maintenance xx

2 weeks pass sooo quick but i guess i had nothing much to write about. Been slightly naughty with nights out, lots of drinks and fine food but trying to stick to plan when not socialising! Losses aren't great but at least i'm still losing. Got my measurements done last week. Waist...

Hi there, i had my measurements done last week at my 5st loss and i had only managed to lose 2" off my thighs. It's not a lot compared to all those pounds but i think it is to do with the flabby loose skin i have there. Hopefully we both notice the thighs disappearing soon:D

Hi girls. well done kel, 1lb off feels good when you haven't really put your heart into it. Well, only -1lb for me this week. I haven't been bad apart from a heavy drinking sesh at the weekend and virtually no water all week. I just can't seem to get it down me. think it must be this cold...

I am 5.5" and originally weighed 17st 6lb and in my first week i lost 10.5lb. I took a break for 5 months and came back weighing 15st 6lb and lost 19lb in my first week:D

Well done Gem, you are doing great x

5st lost:D:D:D Enlighten, thank you for that. You make so much sense. Just noticed that we both have the same to lose. Who will get there first???:p No, i don't work out, that is just too much like hard work for me, lol, i am too lazy for that. I really should but i doubt it would make...

You are all so kind. Your lovely comments are very much appreciated and very welcome when times are hard. Well, i am really excited today because i have reached a 5st loss. After feeling all sorry for myself last week and going away and hibernating for a few days, i have got my head back in...

Thanx for the simple instructions for me, lol. I am on night shifts next week so hope i can snap back into diet mode before then. Off to get tea out the way before xfactor:D

Thanks hon. Unfortunately my willpower has got up and gone. I have done nothing but pick the past couple of days and have been going out of my way to buy sweet sticky puddings which is something that i have never eaten before this diet. What the hell is going on, grrrrr:mad: Well, i did post my...

Well done Gem on the 5lb loss and getting your bmi under 40:D Having a mare the past couple of days, can't stop picking. Oh well, off to read for inspiration to keep going as i feel in total self sabbotage mode. Catch up with you soon x

Aaaw, thanks guys. I have been struggling the last couple of days so sneaking in here for some inspiration. Can't seem to stop eating whatever is in my path:mad: It usually helps reading successes. God i feel sooo deflated and really need a big kick up the backside. Thanks again for the...

Thanks Tess. I struggle more on my days off too. Too much time on my hands to think about food and also, it's at hand lurking in the cupboards and fridge grrrr:D Right back to this mousse business, lol. How much water do you use? mine ends up kinda like chewing gum. Enjoy your days off and...

Well done on the losses girls. Happy birthday Kel, just enjoy it. It only comes once a year thankfully, hehe. Oh, and thank you:o Just a 2lb loss for me again this week but it is more than expected so can't complain. Had a couple of meals out this week and enjoyed every mouth full:) Back on...

Hi hon, haven't a clue about self sabbotage. Some times i just can't help myself. The food is in my mouth before i have had time to think about it. Other times, i just say to myself that if i eat it, i will probably go up a pound or two and look how long it takes to get rid of it again or how...

Thank you lass. I feel so much better too x

Hi nat, i went straight from a month of LL to the CD810. Ok, you won't lose as quick but you will still lose. There is quite a lot that you are allowed on 810. Chicken, quorn, tofu, tuna, cottage cheese, eggs. Lots of varieties of veg. Gave a mate a loan of my books but that's what i can...

What a difference, slimming has taken years off you. Well done x

Just a bit far for me to travel but i do wish you all the best Zoe. You have done brilliant x

I need to take you shopping with me lol. You look totally amazing. Well done for getting it off and keeping it off x

Fantastic news Gemma. Congratulations x

Just a quicky to say i finally took some pics and put them up. I can't believe the difference. Even though i don't feel how i look....does that make sense?/?

I wasn't planning on being here in a year but here i am! I started LL a year ago and changed to CD after 4 weeks. I was doing great with that until March when i decided to take a week off......big mistake! one week turned in to almost five months. I gave myself a kick up the backside in...

Well done on such a fab loss. Makes it all worth it:)

Today is my 1st anniversary of my weight loss plan and i am 4lb short of 5st lighter than i was a year ago today:) It has flown by. Ok, when i started last October i thought i would have been at goal within a year. It didn't quite work like that as i took a 5 month holiday off the plan...

Well done on the losses girls, might not be as much as you all wanted but it's still going in the right direction:) Well a 2lb loss for me this week which is a surprise tbh as i had a mad drinking sesh and a couple o meals out over weekend. Hope it doesn't catch up with me next week! I am under...

Well done hon. You should have been on the front page looking as stunning as you do:)

Hi hon, sounded like you needed that little time off the plan. Good luck with starting again x

Thanks for the lovely comments, they are much appreciated. Well, i have had a weekend of it:( a 21st birthday meal and a catch up with the girlies meal and a day long drinking sesh so really needing to pull back this week. Not expecting a loss. However, i am back on track. I did think about...

Hi Kel, nice to see you again. Well done on your loss. Just 1lb off this week for me. That's a bugger as i have a couple of nights out this weekend and birthday meal out. Oh well, i will try and make wise choices and really try not to drink too much!!!! I was hoping my bmi would be in the...

A weekly challenge sounds good. Frances, good to see back again. Nice to have someone close to lose weight with. Gem, for my day off i usually have a shake for brekkie, head into town, shop then pub lunch. I am a creature of habit so always go to the same pub for home cooked, fresh grub...

Thanks Tess. I certainly don't feel like an inspiration at all. I am still at the stage of trawling the boards and looking for inspiration from everyone else. When i feel tempted, i come in here and read for hours, keeps my mind off food lol It's almost a year since i started this diet and i...

Happy belated birthday x I wish you well on your CD journey. I decided on my birthday last year that i was going to lose weight. It was my 40th and i was soooo depressed. Fat and 40:cry: One year on and i am nearing 5st off. Next year will be the same for you if you are really...

Hi Tess, thanks for your lovely comments. You have had a pretty tough week but hey, it's one week. Just don't even think about what's happened diet wise and look at each new day as your start to slimness! You do get such a fright when the kids have a fall and that totally knocks you mentally...

A 4lb loss this week so that's a bonus, thought i was gonna be a 2lb a week gal lol Lost 1/4 of my body weight and under 13st for the first time in 25yrs. I will NEVER be over 13st again:D Hopefully next week my bmi ticker thingy will go under 30 and make me overweight instead of obese...

Think all our heads seem to be in the right place just now. well done girls. I have decided to have a day off each month (payday) lol last month i managed fine, made wise choices and got straight back on plan the day after. I felt great for doing it and have something to look forward to all...

I have been doing 810 mostly and find it so much easier to cope with. I don't feel deprived and look forward to some real food. My losses range between 2 - 4lb. Always lost and never gained. If you're happy to lose it at a slower pace then go for it. Good luck x

Thanks guys. we will all be so much slimmer by xmas, keep going. I am going to have xmas lunch this year (if i'm not working). 1000 plan is good idea enlighten, you could have a good lunch on that. What you gonna do Gem? You gonna stick to SS? Well done gem, 5lb off and in getting in the...

Hi girls, forgot to pop in last week. Just a 2lb loss. That's me back to where i was in March, my lowest weight in over 20 yrs. I just managed to fit into a size 14 jeans....i have never worn a size 14 in my life. I know it sounds strange but i went from pre pregnancy size 10 to an 18 after...

What a difference, not only in your size but look how confident and happy you are in the last 2 pics. Well done x

Feeling pretty pleased with myself today:D I am back to my weight i was when i gave up in March. Note to oneself....don't slack!!!!! Looks like i am stuck with a 2lb a week loss. Seems to be all my body wants to lose. Anything more will be a bonus. Really must get some more pics done, they...

Hi there, i changed from LL to CD last year. I only managed 4 weeks on LL but managed to shift over 2st. I needed to change over as all i was thinking about was food so CD helped me with all the different stages you can choose from. I more or less stuck to the 810 plan as i wasn't in that...

Well, my Wii states i am no longer obese:D:D:D:D Woohoo, i am overweight:) Made my day:D Funny how little things please us!!!!

Can't believe that i got wolf whistled at.:o Kinda made me smile but also felt uneasy. Why would they be whistling at me?/?? oh well, the downside of slimming lol:eek: Just been checking out the BMI thingy and it looks like i have about half a stone to lose before i become overweight...

Thanks Tess x I get great inspiration reading others diaries. Keeps me on track knowing that it can be done. Also, sitting reading them takes quite a while sometimes so keeps my mind off food lol If you stick with it Tess, it won't be too long til you get 4st off. It's not easy but it works.

Just a 2lb loss for me this week. Have stuck to 810 but haven't been measuring my milk allowance. I have been drinking a hell of a lot of coffee so gonna try and nip that in the bud. I think i should be losing more than 2lb! Need to up my water too, been struggling with that. Enlighten...

Hi there, i am on Cd for the second time and didn't feel like that either time. Did feel cold and headachy but that was it. Try and persevere with it, it really does work if you let it!!!! You would probably get more answers if you put this in the main forum instead of in the diary section.

Week 5 done and 2lb lighter. That's 4st of fat gone, woohoo:D Think i am needing to start measuring out my milk allowance cause i am sure i should have lost more than that. I have been drinking so much coffee but not adding up how much milk i have been having. Haven't eaten anything i...

Excellent post FBS. Certainly makes you think!

I have had the mirena for 3 years and have noticed that my monthlies have been affected this time. Was actually thinking of seeing the doc just to be on the safe side. Mine haven't been heavier but have been present for 3 weeks now which is very unusual. I'm gonna give it another week then...

Wondered if anyone else suffered from this? People really start noticing your weight loss and start commenting on how great you're looking....woohoo, makes you feel good but......... when they start commenting, i get it in my head that i can sort of start treating myself with food. Think i...

Thanx gem. well done on your loss....under 100lb to go for you now, way to go girl:)

Good luck with your journey. You know it works so at the end of the 6 week break you will be a slimmer person going back to work. Like you, i am also a restart. I came off CD for 5 months and put on 2st. All the best hon x

When i start thinking of yummy food i then have a fight in my head saying do i need it, do i really want to undo all my hard work. I usually go and do something to get rid of the thoughts.....works most of the time. Monday is not far away.

Hi FBS, well done on your losses, brilliant start. I find it easy most of the time. At times i could kill for food though but it's not because i'm hungry, just because i want to chomp on something:eek:;)

I always have a dry furry mouth. Not feeling thirsty just furry! I put it down to not having food going over your tongue keeping it fur free lol, that's just my opinion btw!

Hey Gem, good to see you again. Like you, i have returned :cry: Unfortunately, i have put a couple of the stone back on that i lost earlier this year but "that zone" has returned and i am focused so here goes. First weigh in tonight:) I have gone back on CD but was browsing the exante pages...

I really want to walk down the street with my head held high. At the moment, i look at the ground, never look at anyone just incase they are staring at me.

Keep going with it, it will be worth it. just keep saying to yourself that you won't feel like this forever. it should pass in a few days max.

I really have a lot to learn about food. I find that with the diet thing going on i tend to read labels a lot more but still don't really understand what's going on. Thanks for that info BL

Might have to rethink this goal!!!! Anthony - 24 (Total lost 6lbs) Cappachino - 50lbs (Total lost 25lb, 25lb to go) caroline g - 44lbs (Total lost 22lb, 22lbs to go) Cat.L -40lbs (total lost 0lbs) coley144 - 38lbs (Total lost 8lbs, 30lbs to go) Dappymare - 48lbs (Total loss 6lbs, 42lbs to go)...

Happy valentines day girls xxx Loving the minnie mouse nails kel...red and dotty is my fave everything lol. Good luck with the testing, hope you get result you want. Well done on the losses girls. 4lb loss for me this week so can't grumble. You under that 220lb yet enlightenme? Got new...

Have to agree with what everyone else said. Try and stick to weighing once a week if you can't handle the fluctuations on the scales. I had to get the OH to hide my scales as i was getting paranoid. I did ask him for them on Monday as i came back from my hols. I weighed 13st 6lb yesterday...

Well done on reaching your goal:D That looks absolutely gorgeous. You must feel so proud.

Thanks kat, glad you're enjoying my little rants and raves lol. You are doing brilliantly with your losses too, keep it up:) Day 3 of being back on plan and doing not too bad actually. Been having 3 shakes and a bar. Hopefully this will kickstart my losses again. Struggling with my water...

Gem is still here for the moment but is moving on soon. Changed her name to elvira. Right that's the holiday over and time to stop messing about with this plan. Time to start shifting the pounds again. You all with me???? The trick is not to get disheartened when the losses don't show, if we...

Aww thanks bettyboo. Hopefully you will be saying that this is going to be your last bash at this dieting lark too:) Well, that's my holiday over:sigh: A week at Center parcs is sooo relaxing and would recommend it to anyone just wanting a quiet metime holiday. We book the exclusive villa so...

Well girls, looks like this last week has been bad for us all. Got weighed yesterday and for the first time since starting i didn't lose anything:sigh: STS, fluid retention building up! Off on hols for the week now so presumably won't lose next week either. Not gonna get down about it...

Welcome tracey. Won't take you too long to shift that gain. How's the OH doing? he managing to keep it off? Good luck x

Well done kat. You are such an inspiration to others and always have such encouraging words. All the best with your maintaining.

Cogratulations on losing 7st and wow, what a difference. You look stunning:D

I felt a great weight was lifted once i made that decision to move and i knew that i wasn't going to go off the rails and gorge myself. Once i made my mind up i added a meal straight away. Used my LL shakes but kinda went on the CD plan. Best move i have ever made. I couldn't stomach the soups...

Thanx hon but it giving up the ciggies hasn't been as bad as i thought. Sure my diet is consuming more of my thoughts than my ciggies. That's me into my third week now and i am feeling quite proud of myself:o Gone down to the 14mg patches today so i can keep my last box of 21mg for when i go...

well done all of you on your 11's:D bet it feels great. I can only imagine:p

I moved over from LL after a month. Called the CDC and spoke about all options and felt it was the right thing for me to do as i was constantly thinking about food and utterly miserable doing LL. If i didn't move over to CD i knew i was on the road to failure. at least this way i could...

My ex father in law took these for a while and apart from a bit of extra weight was a fit and healthy man. Not sure if there was a link but he used to eat rennies like they were going out of fashion. Always had indigestion/heartburn. He died suddenly of a heart attack in his early fifties...

Hi kel, you will still be losing inches hon. I have been a bit...no, alot disheartened this week, my scales aren't moving so told OH to hide them. If i can't weigh then i can't be pi**ed off about it:rolleyes: I can't possibly not lose weight doing this or am i the exception!!!!!! lol

£1.80 for packs and £2.00 for bars and tetras. Extra £2.50 if she comes to me. Not too bad i thought.

Thanx gem, you are doing brill too, over a stone gone already:D Enlighten, i know what you mean. I had 14st 10lb as a stumbling block for me, all other diets ended when i got there, gave up after it. At least this time i managed to go past it....it really has helped lol, all in my head i know...

Can't get through a day without my bar. Look forward to it all day and have it at night for my supper with a milky coffee:D Malt toffee is my fave and then the peanut....lush x

WOW, what a difference hon. You look fab. Thanx for sharing xx

49lb gone for good and 50lb still to lose. If i can keep going like this i will be slimish by summer:D

Good luck to all those getting back in to the swing of things. No weigh in for me this week so nothing to report but my own scales aren't moving:cry: apart from extra milk i have stuck to plan so don't know why....pi**ing me off tbh but i haven't come in here for a moan, already done it...

Thank you petal:D Don't know what's up with me the past couple of days. Been very emotional, crying for nothing and just kinda feel a bit numb. The scales don't seem to be moving down but they really should be. Ok i have had a little extra milk as i have been having extra coffees but i...

Welcome home mrs:D Won't take you long to shift those few well earned and tasty pounds hehe xx

Congratulations. What a wonderful new year to look forward to. makes you feel all gooey....

Ooh haven't tried this yet. I find it tastes more like lemon than orange too, like old fashioned lemonade. Feels and tastes like creamola foam on the tongue.... i know i shouldn't dip my finger in the tub and lick but it was nice lol

I find it harder to recognise the bars. The shakes are much easier.

WOW, 9lb is a fantastic loss, well done for sticking with it and almost getting rid of that gain. Forgot to mention my inch losses. I got my measurements done for the first time since starting my diet 3 months ago. Bust - 5.5" waist - 5.5" hips - 5" arms - 2" thighs - 2"

Thanx for reply. I loved the atkins bar too, a nice change. Think i kinda understand what you are saying. So, if it says 15g carbs and 10g polyols, it would have 5 grams of carbs then? Well, carbs that i am counting. Hope i have got it right, if not then i am a right thicko lol

I only have the vanilla shakes. Made with icey water out of freezer, can't have it any other way. It's lovely. Had been having a malt toffee and peanut bar halved each night but have decided to stick with peanut for now as it has less carbs.

I am doing CD and happy with it but whilst on a shopping trip recently i forgot to take a CD bar with me. I popped in to boots to look for a bar to keep me going. I picked up an atkins bar thinking that it can't be too different from a CD bar. Front of bar said 2.1g net carbs...woohoo, i am...

Another 4lb loss for me this week:D that makes it 3 1/2st off in total. I am feeling pretty good. Almost half way there now. 2 weeks ago today was D day for the horrible ciggies.....still going strong. Can't believe that i have survived this long or that my partner hasn't been killed yet lol...

Aseyan - 45lbs (Total lost 5lbs 40 lb to go) Cappachino - 50lbs (Total lost 11lb 39lb to go) caroline g - 44lbs (Total lost 15lbs, 29lbs to go) coley144 - 38lbs (total lost 2lbs 36lbs) Dappymare - 48lbs (total loss 0lbs) designerdiva - 24lbs (Total lost 0lbs) Emmapetty - 50lbs (total loss 0lbs)...

Woohoo gem, brilliant loss again. 4lb off for me this week. More than i expected as i am doing 1000. Only having one shake and one bar a day and normal food but nothing naughty:D Kel, I got sterilised when i was in my early 20's and my periods became so heavy and painful after it. Wanted to...

Excellent posts. I know this will be my last diet. Over the past 20yrs i have done so many but it was always for a wedding, xmas etc Yeh, i have a reason this time also but for my own peace of mind. It is making me feel good about me. I am also looking at the long term plan like my...

Not keen on orange stuff but love the malt and peanut bars. I usually have half of each every night, that's my treat that i look forward to every day. Noticed that the malt, orange toffee etc have more carbs than the peanut and cranberry.

I might be being a bit ambitious but am going to go for 35lb. Got a wee holiday in there as well so hopefully won't go off the rails too much. Sticking with the 1000 plan for now unless my losses become slow. caroline g - 44lbs (Total lost 0lbs) designerdiva - 24lbs (Total lost 0lbs) Aseyan -...

I meant to say gravity strider. It's a walking machine thingy, maybe an air walker. Gem, i use salt when cooking the oss but then crush a sweetener in lol I have been looking at other non CD products for when i do eventually come off this plan. Basically comparing the carbs mostly in bars...

Lol night owl, sorry, can't remember your real name, bad memory. I really am not the gym sort but i am taking up walking a lot more and cycling when the weather gets better. Been using a gravity glider in the house too. Swimming is something i used to enjoy but i have a skin disease which leaves...

Nicki, i have just found that bone just under my boobs a couple of days ago. I was in such a panic, got him to feel it and he said it's meant to be there. I still wasn't sure until i read that so thank you, you have put my mind at ease. I am enjoying being able to cross my legs. wanting to walk...

That's brilliant gem, makes it all worthwhile. Well done. Doing ok here. Went to the gym today. First time in over 15 yrs. OMG, it sucks lol i hated it then and i still hate it now. Yeah it's good for you but i just can't see the fun in it. I was shocked to learn that they only have communal...

Thanks jenny, noticed you got your food through, good luck with that. weigh in yesterday went well:D 3lb down which now takes me to under 200lb, yipee. The no smoking is fine too, just a little crave now and again. Not sure if dieting at the same time has helped as my mind is on that as well...

Just popped in to wish all the 2010 starters all the best with their weight loss journey.:)

i have my last bar between 9 -10pm with lovely coffee, keeps me going all day with that to look forward to. I also split my bars in half and have 2 types at the same time.

Hi girls, First weigh in of 2010 and 3lb off:D I didn't think it would be that due to the extra stuff lol Haven't seen that programme but that is a load of b*l*ox. I am 3st down and only down a dress size. I have bought a tight denim skirt in a 16 which i can get in to but it is well...

Well done john. Maintaining is excellent over this period. Bet you came out the docs with a spring in your step:D Can you see the end in sight yet? I can't imagine ever seeing it but i know i will lol.

Good luck jenny. You know what you have to do this time once all the weight's gone. Don't know anything about the diet you're doing. What are the weekly losses likely to be?

Hi Lucy I started LL in October and obviously had a great loss in my first week but one lady there only lost a couple of pounds. She was devastated and couldn't understand why. Unlike the rest of the class, she kept drinking tea, coffee, broth mix and gallons of water before getting weighed...

morning girlies Well, this white stuff has been around long enough now, we've had it since before xmas. Day off today so thought i'd spend a bit of time snuggled up in here for a bit before my weigh in later. Also on day 5 without a ciggie so i need to keep my mind off it. actually, it...

Welcome claire Yip, you should be a size zero by now lol I have been dieting for about 20 years so i should really be dead! but no, i was over 17st in October, that shouldn't have been after all the diets i have done. I decided that this diet is the last one i will ever do and i mean it...

Day 5 of no ciggies and coping remarkably well. I smoked between 25-30 a day and really thought i would struggle but it is easier than i thought. The diet is going ok, almost back on track.Must pull back my veg portion sizes. Got my weigh in today so that might tell a different story...

Been on Cd for 3 months and gave up the ciggies yesterday. I really want to do both and really hope that i can. 4 days without a ciggie is a brilliant achievement and no food:eek: well done you, keep it up.

Thanks for the replies. Just as i thought, oh well, more water it is:(

Ok, this might sound a bit stupid. Before my Diet i used to take water tablets due to feeling bloated at totm. Is it ok to still take them on CD? I get that bloated feeling for about 2 weeks every month, it really does my head in. I know i am weeing loads obviously so would the water...

Feeling rubbish doesn't last forever. Just remember why you're doing it and this time next week you will be feeling better.

Well, i am still here plodding along and 3st lighter:D Got the OH to take some piccies to see if i would see the difference and yip, it's working. Posted them here as i felt that looking at others before and after pics helped me when i felt that i couldn't do it. New year and the last year i...

HAPPY NEW YEAR Woohoo, that's 3st off since October, can't believe it:D:D:D:D Well, a 2lb loss for me over xmas week:eek: well chuffed with that. Not really been on the shakes but not been going daft with naughties so can't complain with the loss. This is our year girls. 2010 will be our...

Hi all, just popped in to say merry christmas to everyone. Still doing CD which is going well and helping with the finances. It is still coming off. Slower than total abstinence but i am in no rush. Not planning the wedding till 2011 so should be slimish by then:D You are all doing brilliant...

Just popped in to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS I'm working right through so should manage to cope with all the gorgeous food that will be about:) Not going to beat myself up if i stray a bit. Planning on having something nice for tea tomorrow night when i get in. Hopefully get back...

:eek: 9lb 15oz......what a whopper. Congrats hon. 5lb off for me this week:D No weigh in next week. Well, not sure if it's the diet or the nightshift but i have come down with the cold again after only getting rid of it last week. Immune system must be pretty low. That dress is lovely...

Just a quick pop in again. Glad your on the mend kel. i am still not over the cold 100% yet but getting there. Glad your not giving up gem, some times you just need to get your head in the right place and if it isn't, there really is no point doing it. Good luck for your re-start. well...

Hi girls, sorry for the absence. Had a stinking cold but on the mend now. No weigh in for me on Friday last week as CDC was away but weighed in today and a 3lb loss. So still plodding along. Hope everyone is well.

2 weeks on CD810 plan and doing fine. 5lb loss which is fine with me. I kinda expected a bit more but at least it's a loss. I am finding this so much easier to do. I have been having my shakes during the day and my chicken for tea and really look forward to my malt or peanut bar with my...

2lb off for me this week. Think i will just stick with the chicken. Quorn pieces are just waaay too much. I don't ever remember being 11st, i was 10 before pregnancy many years ago and just seemed to jump over 5st. Bet it feels sooo good....i can't wait to feel that:D well done.

Well done on the losses girls. At least you stopped at one pie Kel. Could have been soooo much worse! does anyone know what quorn pieces that you are allowed on the 810? The only type i could see in the supermarket were "chicken style quorn pieces" I had them tonight but there was a huge...

Hi debs, I did LL for 4 weeks and was going demented. Every waking thought was about food. I decided to change to CD 810 plan and it's the best thing i have done. I am on my second week now and managed to lose 3lb in my first so it still works. I still have about 5st to lose and amn't...

Well done everyone, excellent losses again this week:D Must say that i am feeling so much better doing the 810 and still in ketosis which i'm delighted with. When i started the abstinence thing, it was great not having to plan meals. I knew what i was going to have without thinking about it...

I tried the dulcolax but felt really bad. Have used glycerol suppositories a couple of times and this seems to (ease) the problem.

Well done everyone for becoming the biggest losers:D soz for not being around. been on nightshifts this week and don't tend to come online. went for my weigh in this morning and have lost 3lb this week. I am pleased with this. 810 plan is going well and really not feeling the need to stray...

Well, i picked up my CD packs on Thurs night and started my CD journey on Fri. I am coping much better knowing i can have a little something to eat every day, makes such a difference to me. I still don't have to think about it really. A bit of chicken or fish with some veg. the shakes...

Well done Abby x Not sure what it is about the shakes. The only way i can describe it is that the LL ones are a nice fresh taste and the CD ones seem to have a bitterness about them, i am a fussy biatch tho!!!! Quite enjoyed the peanut bar but think i will have it in 2 portions next time...

Can't join the 38lb club yet lol well done on your losses, bet you feel fab x

Well done hon. What a boost when you get great comments:D

Thanks hon, much appreciated.

Well done on the losses girls. 13lb is a brilliant boost, keep it up. Yip, i have lost 5lb so hopefully it will count in our losses for the week even though i didn't officially start CD until Fri. I had been doing the 810 with the LL shakes for a week, same but different lol. I am feeling so...

Hi guys, Just done 4wks of LL abstinence and lost almost 2st. I really struggled in the last few days of it and started researching other diets. CD seemed to have a plan that suited my needs. So, here i am doing the 810. Just started on Friday and am a lot more calmer now that i know i...

What a transformation, you look fantastic. Inspirational:D

well done on the great losses girls. That's me officially a CDer. met my CDC tonight, got my packs for the next week. My start weight is 15st 10lb. It was 17st 6lb less than 5 weeks ago so well chuffed. looking forward to my CD journey with you guys.

Haven't gone near the scales at home, they probably won't read the same so don't want to be disappointed. Must admit to not drinking nearly enough. It is quite difficult at work sometimes. All i have been eating is chicken, broccoli and cauliflower with some curry powder, along with my LL...

9lb loss is fantastic, well done. Don't meet my CDC til this thurs. Had 3 LL shakes and a small piece of chicken with veg last night.....it was heaven lol, first proper food in 4 weeks:eek: Sure the packs must be pretty similar so hopefully still going to lose.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Just been reading and soaking up all the advice and encouragement, it really helps a lot. I find that my local peacocks don't seem to have larger sizes either or they get sold as soon as they are put out. I hate having to pay Evans prices. catseyes, i found it...

Thanks guys, i will keep popping in if you don't mind. I am feeling much happier now that i have made the decision to change over. However, i do kinda feel like i am going to be cheating. Giving up isn't an option, just gonna take it steadier. yeh, the huge losses are great but they...

Thanks rebecca, my friend is ok, doc thinks it is a virus. I have decided to stop LL, i am just finding the no food thing just too tough. I am still sticking to the packs at the mo but am meeting a CDC on Thurs to change on to the 810 plan. I just need something to eat. I kinda feel like a...

Thanks N-O I'm not too sure about a goal as yet. Probably be happy to get into a size 12 clothes. Maybe 10.5 - 11st. 3lb a week would suit me fine tbh. I am on day 25 at the mo and still sticking to it so will hopefully have a good loss when i get weighed on Thurs at my first meet with my CDC...

Hi guys I will be starting CD next week and wondered if you had space for another to join? Been on LL for 3 weeks and finding it tough and expensive. Going to do the 810. Finding it hard to navigate my way around the CD forum as there is sooo much of it. Hope i have put this in the right...

I would like to thank you all for your encouragement and support through my first few weeks on LL. I have been thinking long and hard about this and have decided to do CD instead. I haven't cheated as yet but i know it is only a matter of time. My every thought is food and it is driving me...

Thanx guys, Will look for a local CDC and get started on that next week hopefully.

Hi all, I am currently in week 3 of LL. I am struggling though. I feel that i need to have something to eat and am becoming more and more obsessed with food. It is in my thoughts morning, noon and night. I have abstained for 24 days now but really don't think i can do it without having alittle...

Thanx jen i know i was worrying unnecessarily but i couldn't help it. I lost 4lb and gained a few worry lines but hey ho, i can handle that lol. Feeling a bit more positive today. 3 weeks down and 10 bags of sugar less to carry about:D will try and get more mobile this week as i know this...

Well done RG for getting back on the wagon!!! Fantastic losses drop and tracy, keep it up. Thanx blueyes, feeling a bit more positive today.....onwards and downwards lol 4lb loss last night so really pleased with that. Gave me the little boost i needed.

3rd weigh in tonight and i feel really nervous. I have abstained for 3 weeks now but i feel soooo heavy today. I will be so gutted if i haven't lost. I guess, there's no point in worrying about it but it is hard. I'm doubting myself all the time and really feel deep down that this weightloss...

You will just have to bring your duvet in here for the next month and we will keep you cosy and occupied:D

Thank you so much BL. I am just having a self pity moment. I have been fat for 24 yrs and i know it isn't going to shift overnight, wish it would lol. Think i am struggling most when the OH is here, if we have days off together. I just turn into a sulky biatch! Hate myself for it becasue he is...

peter....lol

paul

Breaking out in a sweat thinking about it hon lol Good for you, keep it up, you look fab x

I can vaguely remember having sex when i was slim but i do remember having orgasms during penetrative sex which is very rare now. don't think it's psychological, it is physical. The closeness must be better instead of him lying on top of the fat. The genitals are less fat also, again, more...

WOW ralph, 2st+ in 2 weeks is a fantastic achievment, well done you. Go to the "userCP" in the blue header at top of page to put your information in. I'm no expert ralph and am just about 3 weeks in. I have been having a pretty rough few days, doubting myself, resenting thinner people...

OMG, i don't know anyone else that has this horrible disease. One of the main reasons that i decided to lose the weight was because i was abroad for my 40th last month and had a really bad flare up. I couldn't walk without severe pain for a few days, couldn't sleep because of the golfball under...

Day 19 Had a couple of yuck feeling days, thankfully it has been my days off. Only managed to do 3 packs both days, just couldn't face any more. Also struggling with the water, only managed 2 ltrs max. doubting myself, can i do this for the long haul....i hope so. I haven't cheated but the...

WOW, what a difference, well done x

Well done lola. just click on someone else's ticker and it should open a window for you.

:eek: choccy biccies!!!!!!! lol they're nasty things lol bet you didn't really like them! good luck with the healthy eating. I'm not disciplined enough to do that.

Just spotted your diary, wow, you have done fantastic. looking forward to see how you coped on your trip. Sure you will be fine as you seem pretty focused. Next goal isn't too far off:D

How's things fairy?

Well, week 2 weigh......6lb off:D I can't believe it to be honest, keep thinking that the LLc has some how rigged the scales to make me feel good...it works anyway cause i feel fab. I will be a slim bride!!!! I feel for a friend of mine that has been on the plan for 7 weeks now. Her GP has...

Rg,Thanx. a little one off is better than a little one on!!!! sure you will be fine. drop, thanx hon, i am well chuffed. I can't believe that it has been 2 full weeks without my usual munchies lol i feel that everyone else will get to their goal and i won't, it just doesn't seem achievable for...

Thanx kat, how's the mouth?

good luck with the weigh in. I am thinking of giving up the ciggies but don't feel comfortable yet to give up both. Might do for new year. Wishing you all the best hon.

WK 2 weigh in.....6lb:D I am so happy. Where are all the other monday weigh ins?? good luck today drop:)

Daughter said i looked different....she didn't know i was on a diet. Said my hair was shiny and skin looked good:D Future father in law said i was looking very well... he doesn't know i am dieting either so made me smile:)

What a difference, you look amazing. how wide is that smile??? so it should be:D Well done, bet all the hard work was worth it.

Not been on it that long yet but a couple of colleagues have started healthier eating, ditched the fizzy juice and snacks. My family don't know i am doing this yet. when i used to say that i was losing weight, they all used to say, "you're fine the way you are" grrrr, yeh, 8st too heavy is...

Well done pete, i doubt i would have managed a weekend away with mates and not cave in. WOW captain, what a loss, sure that must be a record. My mate started 7 weeks ago and lost 16lb on her first weigh in. SV and andy, hope you guys are feeling better, you know it will pass. i am feeling...

Thanks john you have done amazing, nearly 4st in just over 2 months, what an achievment, well done. I really don't think i will give in. i am finding this hard but it won't be as hard as giving up. Had a pop in on Thurs night, day 10 and had lost another 4lb so pretty pleased with that. Can't...

LOL, you get hin told!!!! My OH seems to be eating everything that i love, feels like he is doing it to annoy me but i know he isn't, just my irrational thoughts lol. Keep going girl x

Apparently if you stick to the LL diet religiously, you will stay in ketosis. Most chemists sell the ketostix.

well done hon, that's a fab loss:)
