Hi folks - can i join you too? I have about 12 stones to lose and have just placed an order for exante so hopefully will get started soon. Couldn't believe i found a thread with others who hope to lose large amounts also. Good luck everyone xx

mine r a couple weeks outta date as well but seem to taste ok......

Hi folks I am on day 2 of cd restart. Lost 3 stones at end of 2007 and had several failed attempts in 2008 but this time i am gonna stick with it. Have a family wedding in June and want to be able to get something nice to wear not just something that i can squeeze in to! Good luck to all.

Thanks guys - not sure whether to go back to cd - the ready shakes are great and means even less time in the kitchen around found - and kitchen facilities are very limited at work so they just make life easier. Saying that lipo is at a nearby pharmacy now. Hope you are all getting on fine

Hi everyone I have been wondering about trying lipotrim for a while. I did CD last year and had to travel a bit to get it but have found out that a local pharmacy has started LT. CD did ready made shake cartons which were great for work - can anyone tell me if LT do these too and if not what...

Hi folks I too am struggling to lose weight - joined CD after coming back hols in July as was disgusted at how i felt abroad - then fell off the wagon after about 6 weeks. Having managed to only gain about 1/2 stone (had lost almost 3 stone) am now trying again. Not sure how i will get through...

Good luck Angela! I restarted 3 days ago after falling off the wagon - i managed to only gain about 1/2 stone luckily and am aiming for another chunk off before xmas....

Hi Rachel Its been a while yes..... How did you get on after interview with agency - any joy? and hows the panto rehearsals coming along?

Hi girls How are you? I fell off the wagon 3 weeks ago and have been eating and not SS'ing at all but climbed back on the wagon 2 nights ago. Went to see CDC and because i hadn't seen him for 4 weeks as i had bought 2 weeks supply last time i was down a pound on his records (but am up 6 by my...

Have had a really crap week - been picking at food the whole week and not even taking my packs - weighed myself this morning and think i am about the same weight so took the bull by the horns and phoned my CDC. Had a long chat and have decided to go for it and get back on track so tomorrow here...

Christine Sorry to hear you are under the weather - hope you are feeling better soon. Isn't it always when there is no-one there to help out with the kids.... Rachel - have you heard anything re a job yet? Sorry i've not been on for a few days but only had one day off last week and you know...

Hi Christine How are you doing today?

Yes hope things go well with the employment agency Rachel. I tried to forget about my weight when i had the interview and dazzle them with my wit and charm (?? he he) - you do the same girl - go for it!

Christine WOW well done 8lbs down that is fantastic :party0019:

Rachel Am so sorry to read about your week - i'm having one much the same myself but more with picking than a full blown fest - although ate a whole pack of chicken breast slices yesterday in one go. Am glad you have registered with an agency cos i was going to suggest that. I was in much the...

Christine Its really becoming harder itsn't it. I just want to eat and am still managing to limit to proteins although i made a lemon meringue pie yesterday and had a spoonful of it before i knew what i was doing. Puddleduck patch is nice isn't it - not that i've been there for a...

Thanks Christine Yesterday went well for all of us - the girls are highly delighted and i found my new workmates very welcoming and friendly and have also managed to get into a smaller size of work trousers woo hoo!

Maggie Thank you - not sure how i pulled that one off - thats 37lb in 6 weeks cant believe it - people are starting to notice now. Christine Am getting nervous for all of us - the girls are really excited. Have spent this evening attaching name labels to new school uniforms - (don't you just...

Don't know how but despite picking at cold meat and cheese i have lost 5lb this week?????

Thanks Christine I know i've made the right decision for the girls welfare but education wise am not so sure as the are going from a class of 10 to a class of 25 although saying that the class of 10 covers 4 age groups. Oh well i will just have to get some decent workbooks and encourage them...

I know. Thanks Rachel. Have been eating cold meat now - i know i must stop or i'll really regret it. Sometimes its just so hard when all you want to do is curl up with a good book or DVD and a huge plate of comfort food. I will be good...i will be good... i will be good....promise - even if i...

could really go some toast and real butter

Stress eating????? Just had a big chunk of cheese :mad:

Thanks for the words of encouragement Rachel - they are just what i need just now. The head teacher just phoned me querying why we were moving the kids and was it all about the health promotion because i would find that in any school as it is a government initiative. She went on and on and on...

Hi Christine Sorry to hear you put on a pound - my scales at home are going bonkers :scale: so am unsure about me this week - am 4lbs up on yesterday morning and i was pretty good yesterday - maybe i can blame the batteries in the scales!!!! I went to the school yesterday just after lunch...

Rachel I am so sorry about the gain - i remember you were pretty stressed out at the end of last week so can understand why you ate - i would have been exactly the same. Don't beat yourself up about it though and as Christine says start afresh tomorrow and heres to a good loss next week...

Hi Rachel and Christine Good luck for the weigh in tomorrow. Let me know how you get on! Am sure you will both be :superwoman: !!

I know i seem to spend most of my spare time (LOL - whats that) on this computer so that i can get away from the kitchen. I seem to have become a games obsessive.....When i tried LL a few years ago i gave up about this time but am so determined to keep going this time- we can only try our best...

Good for you on the gym pass. Have decided am going swimming this week come hell or high water and will go during the day when the kids are at school. The house is almost back to normal after the hols - just a mountain of ironing to catch up with before i start a new job next week. Hopefully my...

Found the AAM a nightmare :confused: and have been picking at things all week but have managed to avoid carbs and picked at proteins. Had a very large salad last night full of protein and veggie things but much more than i am allowed. Never mind was good today until i was putting together their...

Hi Rachel Hows it going this weekend?

roar

Thanks Christine How are you going this week - you did really well last week with 7lb - hope its another good one this week

Hi Babs - keep at it because the results are fast and good - i have lost 32lb in 5 weeks and am back on SS after AAM last week which is hard because a little bit of food and i just wanted more but hey ho back to shakes this week. It is hard but its worth it - drink extra water if you are feeling...

Lost 2lb this week on the AAM week, so am chuffed with that cos i ate a wee bit more than i should have. Hope you are all having a good weekend!!

Its really good to know that others feel the same and i'm not just going off on a tangent and getting myself all worked up about nothing though! I reckon (not that the school will listen) that theres a lot of reverse psychology involved - if you can have it you will take it or leave it, if you...

The biggest problem is that the school only had about 22 kids in total and quite a few of them are overweight because i am told by the headteacher that they were coming to school with 2-3 bags crisps and chocolate at the end of last term and that was just for break time - not my problem and its...

Well she didn't take much notice of anything i said and told me i was in the minority and that she had to go with the majority. She also said there was not a ban on crisps in the school but she was encouraging pupils not to have crisps. I then asked her why my children had told me they were not...

How many children do you have Rachel - i just have the two girls aged 6 & 7. We are considering changing their school at the moment because since last term the school have had a huge healthy eating thing going (and i do agree with healthy eating) and have decided this term to completely ban...

Hi Christine Sat morning should be weigh in day- need to get in touch with Alex. He is really good at being flexible with my times as i am a nurse and work shifts. Hi Rachel - you are so right i need to get a grip and stop worrying about others looking at me. Think i will start swimming next...

Well done Christine thats a great weight loss! Keep it going. I used to go swimming at the Buckie pool and am thinking i will have to get started again soon. Its just the thought of putting on that swimming cossie and letting others see the flabby bits. And Rachel well done on going swimming...

Thats a really good idea to use as incentive to keep up the weight loss Rachel - i treated byself to some dead sea salt body scrub and body lotion from a stand in Inverness (it cost £30 a tub and i bought two and the OH looked at me as if i had grown two heads...lol) and justified it by saying i...

I know what you mean - i cant wait to get back to SS to take the temptation away - i 've probably had slightly more than my 3oz of fish and 2oz of chicken - dont think i'll have lost this week. Good luck with trying the trousers - i'm sure you/'ll be down a size!!

Not too bad ta - have spent morning cleaning the house to keep me away from food - lol. Have friends coming for a meal tonight so am having poached chicken and salad - they are getting the same (lol) along with other things of course. Am getting cheesed of this week as i cant feel any difference...

Well done Rachel! Thats fantastic! That'll keep you going til next week.:bliss:

Can't wait to hear how you have done this week Rachel

I was hoping for 5-6 stones off by Christmas (or more if possible) and have got 2 and a bit off so far - but am struggling today with the AAM - just the smallest bit of food and i want more. What about you guys - any goals you are aiming for?

Maybe have to take my OH to Kama Sutra...lol

My problem is i just love food - the only thing that springs to mind which i dislike is brussel sprouts!!!

Thats a good idea Rachel - maybe Christine could join us as well at Chinatown. Is Blue Moon good - i seem to remember going to Shabaz on Rose Street many years ago and very much enjoying it.

Hi Rachel and Christine Isn't it funny how we all go through the same feelings and problems on this diet and yet at the time you think everyone else is perfect and you must be the only "bad" one who cant stick to it....... Christine - i dont know how you can manage it with sleepless nights -...

Seem to be OK this week after my picking sessions 2 weeks ago. Am really enjoying the AAM and not sure how i will get on next week without food again. I was the same as you 2 weeks ago - i opened the fridge and the cheese just jumped out at me and i just HAD to have a bit - nothing and no-one...

Hi Wanna b a yummy mummy How are you getting on this week?

Well done for getting back on track Rachel - its really hard sometimes isn't it. I really think that it would be easier if we were single and living alone because its the smells when i am cooking for the family that really get to me and i just want to eat. Like you 2 weeks ago i was nibbling...

Yippe lost another 6lbs this week:)

Hi Rachel When you go to the doctor i think its good to play the mental stress card and how much the stress is affecting you in order to get done on the NHS. Maybe check some of the other threads on here - Icemoose a CDC has a whole thread about tummy tuck and i think his was done on the NHS...

Forgot to say well done for being strong and not eating last night. Give yourself a big pat on the back girl!!:party0049:

As for keeping my mind off food - i cant but i keep promising myself that if i have lost a reasonable amount by xmas am going out for a chinese - hence the salivating over prawn toast last night ....lol

Like you i am an evening eater!!! So what i have been doing is drinking loads of water in the morning and not having my first soup/shake until lunchtime, having second at teatime and that leaves a bar to nibble at in the evening with water and cups of coffee. The peanut one is like the middle...

Funny you should mention dreams Rachel but i woke up in a absolute sweat the other morning having dreamt i was pregnant with triplets OMG that would end me altogether as my youngest is 61/2 and i dont plan on having any more...lol have to get my dream dictionary out ....lol SS wise - plain...

I live about an hour or so away from aberdeen and tend to go shopping there but you cant really trail kids around but trying to recapture your youth and dont want to explain to OH why i know all these places seeing as he thinks i'm a wee angel..........tee hee

Cant think of that one. I seem to remember up the brae from Henry J's and round the corner to the left was Tatlers Sports Club - allegedly a night club upstairs and downstairs they did the most fantastic meals but downstairs had a different name.....its about 13 years since i left aberdeen so...

Its just along from what used to be the odeon cinema (just off Holburn Street) but is now a gym and health club and opposite a karaoke bar (the name of it escapes me). Henry J's was much further down the same street - i remember it well ah strawberry daquari's......

my other craving is a bacon double cheeseburger with fries from Sizzlers down Justice Mill Lane - my bro introduced me a few years ago and have been addicted since (whenever i am in aberdeen- so am avoiding the granite city like the plague just now)

toast - as in sesame prawn toast and satay chicken- am salivating at the thought :eek: that is gonna be my treat if i can reach xmas - lol

Another thought re the swimming - muscle weighs heavier than fat - have you been exercising a lot this week?

I know what you mean - am hoping to be much reduced by xmas but will take longer to look really svelte - :p me thinks he he he. Just have to keep plodding away. Am just craving food this week cant wait for AAM next week. Mind u its things like a crunchy apple or a baked potato i want and i wont...

Rachel - i would be delighted to be your diet buddy :wavey:- i think it helps if you find someone with roughly the same weight to lose. I get disheartened when i see folks with just a couple of stone to lose not that theres anything wrong with that but when you have so much farther to go a...

onions

Keep your chin up Racel a pound is a pound and imagine how long you would take to lose a stone with other diets :thinking2: - i know with me it 1-2 lb a week with others and i get fed up after about 3 weeks with no results showing. As for the saggy belly - that worries me too considering i...

i am well chuffed but still have long way to go. How are you getting on have you had your next weigh in yet?

Got weighed yesterday and have lost another 6lb!! Despite the bit of chesse. Thats 24lb in 3 weeks - cant believe it!!!

Hi - a friend of mine was going regularly to the gym and couldn't get her tummy toned and so asked the trainers what was the best exercise and they said...........wait for it....... walking!! Have heard the same from other sources also. I'm certainly going to give it a try

Christine - is that Alex's tactics is it - well will have to keep my secrets from now on!!!!! He he - like the scales will lie of course if i have been cheating........ Rachel - hope you enjoy the swimming and dont get to enjoy any of Mikes famous fish n chips ( i remember them well - probably...

Bigal - aarrgh have just realised who u r Wont manage to fib to u at weekend then eh?

Back on straight and narrow again today so far bigal!!! Well done Rachel am so chuffed for you that is fantastic and will give you a real boost!!! Keep up the good work!

Hi Rachel Just think this will be your first weigh in anyway so you are bound to have lost regardless of feeling a bit bloated. Have had another picky day :cry:- am well disgusted at myself tonight but i suppose i am only human. :sigh: I'm not hungry i'm just having a problem cooking for the...

Thanks Rachael - those willpower vibes must be working!!! Have managed to drink 4 litres water so far today and avoid all foodstuffs - must be stronger as i dont want to fall off the wagon and only two weeks to go to my AAM week....

I went to Turriff Show today and every second stall seemed to be selling food and my OH kids and friends were all filling their faces - i was almost ready to commit murder for a chip......and tonight i cant stop thinking about food and have just pinched a slice of cheese and am now thoroughly...

Skirlie - another healthy option from the North East! lol along with its side kick mealie puddings even healthier lol I hate the seagulls as well Mrs P but i have a feeling they are protected and you get fined if caught aiming a gun......... as long as its just the cars they get i...

Hi Ellie I know what you mean about anti social - we quite often eat out or have friends round for dinner and now i cant eat out obviously and dont feel strong enough to cook masses for others and have them round for me to sit and watch them eat.......

Hi Ellie If thats what is gonna work for you go for it and order up a fantastic dress to keep you on track! Hi Christine I cant say i know them and OH cant think of who they are although most folks around here are known by the farm name and not their own lol!! Claire xx

Hi Ellie How are you getting on with the diet - i see you've lost 33lb - well done!

Hi Christine Closer than you think!!! I also live on a farm just outside Fordyce!! Small world. Who is your friend and by the way no-one around here knows i am dieting.... Claire (Langnan)

mmmm - might have to invest in yet another kitchen gadget - theres no cupboard space for the ones i have but the other half will have to put up and shut up as its in the aim of a thinner me...he he - bet Gillian would choke on a rowie if she knew what they were made of

Did my nurse training in Aberdeen then got a job out in the sticks here, met my OH who is a farmer and all hope of moving nearer civilisation went out the window...... still working part time tho and about to start a new job at Elgin - hence the start of the diet - that and having spent a...

Ah but has Gillian McKeith every tasted a hot rowie with butter - maybe it would stop her being cranky....

You'll have lost heaps if its your first weigh in after 2 weeks eh?? God what a long wait tho to find out.....I get bars this week as its week 3 looking forward to the toffee and choc one - seem to prefer the shakes to the soups as they are easier to mix on the go. Tried to use a shaker to mix...

A hot rowie and cheese mmmmmmmmm Not having that for while but a girl can dream.......

I stayed in Aberdeen for a few years as well - cant remember the name of the street it was near ARI as i worked there

Well done on losing 4 stone - i have been on SS for 12 days as well and although am managing not too bad (there have been a few sticky moments) am craving some different tastes and have just seen one of your other posts about strawberry and kiwi water - i think a trip to the shops is in order...

Hi wanna be a yummy mummy I actually live between Cullen and Portsoy but didn't think anyone would know where that was!!! Are you seeing the CDC in Fochabers thats where i go.

HI Amanda Jayne Bet you enjoyed the bustling metropolis of Banff.....not...he he!! The first few days were awful but had a raging cold as well - never mind got through it and lost 12lb in 4 days. Due to be weighed tonight or tomorrow - whenever CDC can see me. The water is not too bad am...

Not Aberdeen but live near Banff. Have been SS for almost 2 weeks now.:wave_cry:
