I'm back - after an awful 3 weeks :cry:I'm finally given myself a kick up the a*** and realised I DO want to lose this weight but its UP TO ME TO STICK TO IT!! Snowboarding was awesome :D, had so much fun!! Went with good intentions and managed to stick to the plan for the first 2 days...

Hey S4L, How are you feeling now? Hopefully a lot better :) You've done really well to stay the same especially after coming off the plan cos you haven't been well, that's awesome! Lou x

Hi Olive, Thanks for your message. I'm now officially back!!!! Glad to read you're still on track and WI are looking good from your CDC view! How has your day been? Lou x

Hey Olive, Just a quick check in. I'm off snowboarding with school tomorrow and away for 10 days so not online for a while. Good luck for the week week or so, can't wait to catch up on your installments when I get back Lou x

Hey slim4life, Just a quick note to say have a good weekend - keep positive and remember all the reasons you're doing CD to not get tempted by your dad's breakfasts! I'm off snowboarding with school for the next 10 days or so, so I won't be online - will speak as soon as I'm back Lou x

Thanks slim4life for your comments - really helped and I'll definitely give myself a talking too and look in the mirror when I feel like cheating. I'm off snowboarding with school tomorrow straight from school - so I won't be online for at least 10 days. I hope everyone has a fantastic WI over...

Hey everyone - just a quick post as gotta go and pack (I HATE packing!!) I'm off snowboarding straight from school tomorrow so I won't be online for 10 days. I hope everyone has amazing WI's on the next week - good luck! Speak soon Lou x

Well done on another good day! Trying on all of your holiday clothes and seeing them fit or be too big must be a lush feeling! Lol, know what you mean about not wanting to get rid of some of your favourite clothes - I know thats what I'll be like when I get like you! Keep it up! Lou x

Snow? So jealous!! We've just had loads of rain! Well done on the water and being good - keep it up and your WI will be awesome! Lou x

Thanks for the supportive messages slim4life and Sue :) Well, I'm getting over pizzagate. Really tempted to have a subway earlier, even went into the shop. Managed to persuade myself to leave without getting anything. Then went to buy some magazines from the supermarket - wandered around for...

Not a clue if its affected my weight loss (it was last night). I'm too scared to look in case I've put on loads which will scare me so much I give up. I've just put it behind me and I'm moving on. Today is a new day! Lou x

Hey Jakki, please don't beat yourself up about some corned beef, try and think of the positives you've achieved this week. I know exactly what you mean about chewing though, I stuck to SS 100% for 14 days and then in a stupid moment just ate half a pizza - didn't need it, I wanted it -...

Damnit -gave in and ate pizza. Onl reason I didn't have with chips with it was because boyfriend told me I wasn't allowed to. Ate half a pepperoni pizza - and in all honesty was nice but not amazing. WHY DID I GIVE IN :banghead::break_diet: Have definitely knocked myself out of ketosis...

Sue I've been exactly the same today - decided to eat half a pizza. Didn't need it, just wanted it. Completely pointless and a waste, am surely out of ketosis and it serves me right. But, we've just got to draw a line under it. Nothing we can do about the past, but I can dictate the future. So...

Damnit -gave in and ate pizza. Resisted on chips, though tbh only because boyfriend told me I wasn't allowed to (would of if I could). Ate half a pepperoni pizza - and in all honesty was nice but not amazing. WHY DID I GIVE IN :banghead::break_diet: Have definitely knocked myself out of...

I resisted on the chips but gave into half a pizza :(

Thanks Ellie and Gonzo, appreciate your advice Lou x

3lbs is great! I lost 4lbs so we're pretty much on par again. Cliche I know but its 3lbs in the right direction and 3 pounds closer to your goal. Keep going!! I'm seriously tempted to have a meal tonight after my WI, probably is for some reason its pizza and chips on my mind..... :( Lou x

Hmmm, why is this not letting me put in paragraphs - very annoying.....

Awww latebloomer - don't worry about the one meal - just make sure you draw a line under it, move forward and stay positive. You can't change that meal but you can choose to stay on track again Welcome to all the new people who have joined our thread!! Its an awesome thread!! You can always...

Anyone got any idea's? I'm starting to worry about the exercise having a major effect on me Lou x

Hope you're feeling more positive today :) like others have said - sod people who are negative. Its not their decision, its yours, and you have made the best decision for you Lou x

Well done, keep it up! Lou x

Awww slim4life - don't be disheartened. It was just a piece of cheese - it could have been an entire box of chocolates or a whole pizza. Try and focus on the positives - 1. You've got all this way so far 2. You lost 8 pounds in your first week 3. You're taking control of your life and doing the...

Well done on sticking to SW Kez, you've obviously found the right plan that works for you so stick to it and the scales will reward you! Lou x

Well done Sue on your willpower, that's impressive, keep it up and the scales will reward you!! Lou x

Thanks everyone for your messages :) Today I had my ultimate test - buffet party food - MY FAVOURITE!!!!! It was my nephews birthday party and there was so much lush food there, but I'm happy and a little proud to report I resisted. Had a little voice keep whispering that one little sandwich...

Fay - Have a lovely holiday, will miss you and your sparkles for the next 2 weeks Chunkymonkey - sorry to hear you've fallen off the wagon for a little, but well done for sticking to SW red days Surfhunny - good to have you back. Congrats on buying the smaller sizes too! Well I have just had...

Excellent first WI latebloomer, that is a massive amount of weight - well done you!! :) Lou x

PS. Not sure if anyone has done this, but I discovered the other day if you add just a splash of water (a little bit) plus loads of ice to your shake and blend it you get an almost ice-cream consistancy (albeit a melting ice-cream) yummy!!

Hi Nicoletia, Have you tried blending your shakes with loads of ice? I do mine in a little smoothie machine and they're lush - like thick milkshakes. Or I discovered the other day if you add just a splash of water (a little bit) plus loads of ice you get an almost ice-cream consistancy (albeit...

Thanks, good luck in your 1st WI tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be awesome! Lou x

WI day is Monday at lunch time :) Lou x

I weigh on Monday too! We'll have to compare Monday WI's And my target date is June too (boyfriends birthday/friends wedding)! And I'd like to be 11 stone (ish) by then too!! Triple snap!!! Lou x

Hey Olive, Hows everything going? Haven't seen a new post from you in a couple of days, hoping you are all ok? Lou x

Hey Sue, Hows everything going for you today? Have you tried to make the jelly yet? If so, any good? Its great that your mum is really supportive to you. I'm close to my mum but for some reason haven't told her I'm on CD yet. Figure I'm going to wait until she notices I'm losing weight and...

Hi Kez, How are you finding SW these last few days? From reading the last few pages of threads you definitely seem a lot happier and more settled in doing SW. What exactly is the EE option? Familiar with red/green days but EE new to me! Lou x

Hi slim4life, Your last post says exactly what mine would too! That first week dragged sooooo much, and this week is definitely going a lot faster. Get what you mean about being a little bored too. For me, its not bored, just motivation has reduced since that first week excitement. Well done...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping some experienced CDieters can help me..... I'm off snowboarding :26: with school on 1st April for 9 days. I am determined to stick to CD while I'm away, not going to be easy but I will. But I'm a little worried about doing all the exercise whilst doing CD. Exercise...

Hey everyone, how are people? I'm stuck to SS since my WI but yesterday and today I've felt like I wanted a little food. Not needed it, but just watching other people was like "oooo one little crisp or square of chocolate would be lush!" Resisted though as promised myself I'm sticking to SS...

Well done Jan on your weight loss this week!! What are your tips for losing 5 pounds in a week? Cos that's my target for this week!! Lou x

Hi everyone, how are people? Fay and chunkymonkey - hope today was a better day for you both and you got back on track Latebloomer - good luck for your WI tomorrow, make sure you let us all know how it goes This week has definitely felt like its gone a lot quicker than the first week which is...

Congrats on your first weight loss, thats great!! Hows today gone? Lou x

WI today and 9lbs off!!! Woohoo :woo: I know this next bit is going to sound a bit stupid, and possibly even make some people think WTF, but when I first got weighed I was 14st 9lb. All week I've had a loss of 10lbs in my head to get me into the next stone bracket, so I was a tiny little...

Hi everyone, hows things?? WI today - got to admit was really nervous going around CDC house - no idea why as have stuck to it 100% -just had major butterflies! Well.......I lost 9 pounds!!!!! Very chuffed, but please don't take this the wrong way, a tiny bit disappointed as if I had lose just...

Hi everyone. Well interesting weekend. Yesterday was not great, felt quite despondent. Was bit hungry, bit depressed, feeling a bit like can I carry on with just shakes and soups for 2/3 months etc. Don't really know why either, could be because I wasn't in my school routine and therefore not...

Hi everyone, and hello to chunkymonkey - welcome to the thread - everyone is really supportive on here, its great! Latebloomer - the emotional eating you were talking about definitely rang true. I think I have that Marissa Peer book somewhere, I'll dig it out and give it another read. Fay -...

Congrats surfhunny and fay for getting into your size 14's - you must have been well pleased with that! latebloomer it won't be long for you I'm sure. I've struggled a bit this weekend. I can't seem to describe exactly what I've struggled with, but just felt a bit despondent really. Feeling a...

Seems like you're back on track and in a good mind frame now. Well done! How have the last couple of days gone? I hope well for you - just keep thinking of the person you want to be as your motivation - I found this earlier on the web - thought it was good to refer to: M-make short term...

Hi Sue, Congrats on the 10lbs weight loss - that's fantastic for your first week! I'm hoping mine will be similar. How has the last few days gone? Lou x

Hey Flubber, You're doing fantastically well. To have a lot of things going against you (job, moving house etc) and to still stick to SS/SS+ guidelines you are doing incredible! How did you find your friends were when you went out socialising? I haven't told any of mine as hoping to surprise...

Hi Olive, Just wanted to say that I love reading your blog. It just seems to make sense to me if you know what I mean. How are you getting on now? Lou x

Hi everyone, day 5 gone well. About to make my soup in a minute then my shake before bed. How have people got on today? Lou x

Hi everyone. Sorry not posted in a few days but have been staying over boyfriends for last couple nights and didn't get chance to log in. Really sorry to hear about your job surfhunny, has anything more been said on the legality of it? So proud and impressed that you resisted cakes though. You...

Hi everyone, I'm definitely in ketosis now, did stick test on Thurs morn and I'm in the pink. I'm proud that I've managed to stick to SS 100% since I started - I know its only 5 days, but knowing what my binges were like before (we're talking a starter of a sandwich and crisps, followed by 2...

Hi everyone, how has your day been? Got your water quota in? Well day 3 has gone ok, today I had a little wobble when thought surely a little bit of food wouldn't hurt....had to talk myself out of it. Managed to but still a little gutted that I'm feeling like that after just 3 days. I've told...

It always takes me a lot of weight to go down a dress size - at least a stone and half. Whether its because I'm tall I'm not sure. I guess its just down to the individual. Franbella - 20 pounds in 3 weeks is amazing! Really surprised your clothes haven't felt looser. How have you found the CD...

Ps. Surfhunny - being a little nosey but do you lifeguard or something? youtube link and member name got me thinking.......

Hi everyone, 2nd day now and pleased with how its going. I've not had any major carb withdrawal symptoms - just a bit cold today so wrapped up in my duvet sitting on the sofa writing this! So feeling ok at the moment. Water is getting a little easier too, my CDC recommended I aim for at least 4...

How has everyone's first day gone? I'm feeling pretty good that have managed to stick to CD today. I've drank so much water which I think has helped fill me up. Had a choc brick, porridge, veg soup and about to have a butterscotch shake. Not sure about the porridge though don't think I did it...

Congrats on surviving day 4! And for drinking 4 litres, that's very impressive! You're doing really well. Operation showgirl is on track! Can't wait to get to day 4 and get into ketosis like you. Know what you mean about the feeling of being in control, its great (granted its barely been 1 day...

Well, this is the first day of my diary and my first day on CD. I want to lose 3 and a half stone by June 11th this year as its one of my best friends wedding and my boyfriends birthday over that weekend. I've always been overweight, I did manage to lose 3 stone with WW 3 years ago, but...

Good luck PB, I'm similar to you in that have got 3 and half stone to lose and want to as soon as possible! I've got one of my best friends wedding and my boyfriends birthday in the 2nd week of June and that's my target for the weight loss. 13 weeks should get me close I'm hoping. How'd you...

Hi everyone! So jealous too that you're in ketosis, can't wait to get to that stage Well first day almost over and I'm feeling ok :) I'm a teacher so thought school would be easier than when at home as constantly busy and not much time to think about food. Home now and starting to feel a...

Hi everyone, I hope its ok for me to join your thread? I'm starting tomorrow and have got about 3 and half stone to lose. I've already got some great ideas and tips about the CD from you all. Lou x

Hi latebloomer, surfhunny and sweetfa1, I hope you don't mind me messaging you all. How have you all got on so far? I'm starting CD tomorrow (Monday 15th) for the first time. Have you got any tips as I'm slightly nervous about the first couple of days until ketosis hits in. Lou x

Hi Chocolate and others! I'm starting CD on Monday 15th March for the very first time. Am really excited but a little nervous at the same time. Have got just over 3 stone to lose by June 12th 2010 as its a close friends wedding and my boyfriends birthday and want to look fabulous for both...
