Well done Hannah, still losing that is ace xxx

Hi Lorrayne/Jackie Lorrayne how you doing - come on girl don't live your life around the way other people make you feel, people can only intimidate you and make you feel 2nd best if you give them an invite, concentrate on your life and positive thoughts thats what we need - blow everyone...

Hannah - you have done everything right so what ever happens it will be what it will hun, but i know what you mean cos it is so important to us what those scales say, it's the difference between how we feel about ourselves for the whole week after. I have found that even if i have a good loss...

Day 93, what can i say - day 93 almost over - roll on day 94 i surfing in limbo now - close but no cigar yet xxx

Hi - my CDC charges 41 for shakes/soups (1.95 each) so yeah it would probably be cheaper to stick to CD (i only have choc on that cos its the only one i like) A bumper box of choco exante is 119 = 2.35 a shake (exc delivery)

Hi Hannah Your doing fab, thanks for words of wisdom re holiday weight gain. As for your boss's wife, she is prob just jealous, she can see you look fab, and i suppose if you been up early at the weekend we would all look tired. Some people find it hard to give a compliment, and saying...

Lol, you sound like your all nuts to me.....just gonna get the chocolate i know i will get used to it x

Thanks Colly I might just do that as soon as get back from hols x

Hannah, i know what you mean about losing motivation, i am counting the days (there a 10 and i have done 100) on CD so that i can move up a plan and introduce food before i go away, but i have to say that i am really scared about going on holiday because i know no matter what a holiday last for...

Mmmmm that plan not going to work, minimum order is £40. Might just have to bite the bullet and order 50 chocolate?

I just gonna order one chocolate shake now, cos won't need the bars, have enough CD packs to get me through 2 weeks after my hols, and then need to introduce food so if i like the chocolate i will just get those and use it with food. Thanks all x

:bunnydance::party0049:Hi Jackie :bananalove: Hope you having a good weekend i been dancing round the kitchen this morning like a nutcase to motown (love motown) still listening to it now. Dont know where my energy came from......i remember when i was in my 20s (and in the 9 stones) i used to...

Thanks all for your helpful comments x The only thing that worries me slightly is saving money on the bumper packs and not liking alot of the flavours. I not that bothered about soups and on CD only have chocolate shakes so i might just purchase one of those and one each of the bars before i...

Hi Jackie My chatterbox saying day 87 woop woop :character00180: only 1 more weekend to go and then i going on my CD break x How has your day been? You feeling better now?

Hi Ya'll Well i am getting quite excited now day 100 feels closer, i have to admit that the journey has had its highs and lows but i now feel like its within my grasp. Been talking to OH today about the support that i will need when i get back, and the need to get straight back to it. I...

Hannah You are an absolute superstar and am loving the interactive pics - its so lovely that you want to share your experience x

Wow, i can't believe i was just reading your exante diary. I got my packs for the next 13 days and then for another week after my hol so i will defo move across i been paying 173 a month so will save loads. Thanks for responding. i can see you are doing fab x

Hi all day 87 of CD, can i just ask, i know its cheaper but is there any difference to exante in regard to flavours etc is it the same, nicer or totally different? I only get my CD supply once a month and its the only time i contact her and even then my CDC is a nightmare to get hold off x

By the way Hannah - loving your new title x

Hi Lorrayne Thank you for posting. You will know if you had several restart attempts that it is really hard to restart (i done the same). The truth of the matter is that we know we can do it, but we think we can pick it up and put it down and 'start anytime we like i got packs in the...

Hi Jackie I don't think a support group is necessarily the answer, but i know she appreciates it. Like i said half of them there lost it after surgery and have put it back on - so it can't be much of a solution for them? Your right, its pure boredom the reason we eat, and that is all it is...

Hi Hannah You go girl!!!!!

Hannah, if you move threads please let me know, would like to follow your RTM x

WOW!!!!

Hi Hannah, thanks for that. I think you are supposed to have a break every 4 weeks with CD and introduce a small meal, but i go away in 17 days to the Algarve and wanted to get as much off as possible. Sometimes maybe its not a bad thing about people not commenting on your weight loss, you...

HI Jackie - how you feeling, don't envy you visiting the dentist! I just looking forward to chilling on my hols, and not make any plans and take each day as it comes and see what it brings. Have you started your holiday shopping yet?

Hi all I on countdown now, 13 days to go to my 100 CD days and 17 to hols. Getting some chicken etc in at the weekend so will be well prepared. Worn clothes to work i never worn before today (were in my wardrobe with the tags on) its great cos OH keeps thinking i bought new...

lol yes Jackie its the outfit he had to wear when he was a golf caddy for his friend on the Trilby Tour. He really did look like Benny Hill in his caddy hat (he didn't wear the trilby it was his friends). I work in export Admin at a Healthcare manufacturing plant, they make senokot, lemsip...

Hi Jackie - i added a couple of pics on my profile album, gotta scan my starting pic in yet, and will do as soon as i can. Sorry to hear you not very well at the moment, i absolutely am terrible at going to the dentist because of a childhood experience so it takes me all my time to go even...

Good luck 14@40 it is hard but you can come through this the advice they have given you above is all what i would say, i also have looked forward to updating my ticker every week x

Hi all, hope you dont mind me posting on your page, i often check in to catch up with Hannah. I on day 85 of CD SS, i have lost weight on LL before but unfortunately put it all back on (didn't do any management because i just couldn't afford it). I find you really inspirational Hannah and have...

And i just noticed my BMI has just gone under 30, woop woop x

Well thats the 3 month point hit. Thats 3 stone 3 lbs gone. Got 2 weeks to hit my holiday target of 11 4 which is another 5lb, so quite happy with the way its gone and less paranoid about what i will or won't be before i go because i feel fab and i know that i can achieve x

Hi Jackie Lol i love purple, i also wore my new purple coat that OH bought me felt rather good about myself i suppose. Night out was just because we hadn't been out together into town before so we invited some friends with us and just thought what the hell. Come on Jackie, you know you can...

Hi Jackie - how have you found this weekend?

Hi Ya'll Well went out into town last night for first time in around 18months. Had one of my new holiday dresses on (with a little help underneath if you know what i mean) and the highest of purple heels (oh i love purple). I felt fantastic and i don't actually think i recognised myself all...

Hi Jackie i ok for 14s in asda. just get in my new look 14s but they are low wasters with a bit of a bun top I had some asda 16s on last night that i found in the bottom of wardrobe in spare room, they too big, OH said have to throw them away cos "i got no arse in 'em" lol x

Hi Ya'll Well i starting to feel a little better now, and feeling a bit more normal. Looking forward to the weekend of doing nothing. Going out with OH on Saturday and wearing size 14 new look jeans, (which i think are somewhere nearer a size 10???) if i put me control pants on me muffin...

Hi Jackie Got some antib's and coming out other side a bit. One thing for sure i haven't even thought about flipping food, even had to force my cd down. Just wish my headache would go, and feel quite run down really. Even tried to try some clothes on yesterday to try to perk me up a bit...

Hi Jackie when your next WI I feel quite unwell today I have tempreture and am sick my ears hurt think need to go docs

3lb off and today is a pajama day!

Yeah i ok we talked and i think we be ok. Its a bad time of the month for me as its the anniversary of my sons death its 20 yrs ago tomorrow, he was 3 when he died, and when it comes round to anniversaries i start reliving those times. Think thats why i found CD hard this weekend i trying...

Hi Ya'll found CD quite tough this weekend and have really wanted to eat (don't know how but i haven't) i wasn't hungry and i knew that i just wanted to eat. And now me and OH have had a fall out (quite a large one in the scheme of things) and i just feel lost.

Hi Jackie I have found CD quite tough this week, and i know its that chatterbox saying to me go on, you done really well you can eat something it wont hurt. I have resisted i need to resist i need to keep going but i have thought about food alot today x

Well last night i cleaned out my wardrobe entirely, shoes make up everything. I now have nothing in my wardrobe above a 14 (even though some of them don't quite fit me yet and some fit me great, a 14 should be a 14 what ever it is and where ever you buy it from, is there a campaign that can be...

Isnt it strange how the way you feel about yourself changes from day to day? Just like the miserable weather!

Hi Sarah You are sure to reach your mini goal. Re-start is bloody hard work, but keep at it no matter what x

Hi Claire, welcome and good luck, we all here for you x

Hi Jackie I keep forgetting that we are only going for 9 nights, but that is 2 weeks of eating because i will have done my 100 days then and will do the chicken and fish thing before i go. I need to get straight back on CD and prob do for 2 / 3 weeks i shouldn't be far off my goal then...

Are you having an SS day today?

Lol, you fly 6 days after me. We going on a no frills flight with Ryan air, we did everything to keep costs down so didn't book a meal. We will get something at the airport. The plan is to go out for lunch and then get something light at the airport, we don't land till 11 over there so be at...

Hi Jackie I feeling ok now, it seems to be day 1 of TOTM i feel really lousy and have alot of loss. I already been checked out by docs because they been heavy for over a year now and they said (after scans etc) that its one of those things that can happen when you get older, .......harumph...

Hi Jackie I found the goal chatterbox thread last night, its about people giving themselves reasons for coming off the diet as they are getting to goal, i.e. its too expensive, its not sustainable, they can do the rest themselves etc etc

Ta hun, i left a visitors message on her profile a few days ago. Does she answer those?

No Jackie i don't think its that its a thread she did that i have seen people refer to, its about when your head starts talking to you when you are getting near goal x

Day 71 - lost 4lbs Well, lost 4lb which is great as its TOTM but i feel totally crap.. Speaking of TOTM last month i fainted the day i came on my period and felt really lousy all weekend, i thought it was just because i had picked up a bug? But i feel exactly the same today my head is...

Jackie / Shanny have you ever seen any postings by KD that talk about the goal chatterbox, you any ideas where i might find it?

Good luck loopy - restarts are hard. Just keep going x

Day 70 - i think Well over 2/3 way there. Its TOTM this week and i already feel bloated and fat, and right now don't feel any different to what i did before i started CD. Its wierd how you can still feel like that after losing almost 3 stone. My official WI tomorrow. OH drank some red...

Hi Wannabeslim Hope you don't mind me asking but how does Xenical work please?

Day er - cant remember? Scales seem to be going the right way and i got on and i had my first reading of the 11s, i thought that i would feel euphoric but i didn't, i have felt quite fat today. TOTM next week so that could be something to do with it. I feeling kind of like i holding my...

Hows it going Agnes? You ok?

Well done Kira - day 4 was my absolute worst, so by the sounds of it you are doing brill x

Hi Jackie Just read that thread, thanks its really useful. Yep, gotta focus on something but i think we going away for my birthday on 15th Nov, so that be something to look forward too. Somewhere with a hot tub lol x One month supply of CD was £173 (that is 2 x shakes and 1 bar a day for...

Hi Jackie just re-reading your posts. I got a months supply of CD from my CDC. (2shakes, 1bar a day). That should just take me to my 100 days. Then will have to get some more for when i get back, will do 100% SS for a couple of weeks to get me back on track then defo move up the plans. God i...

Hi Kira Welcome to the zone Wish i could call it a pleasure dome, but we only here cos we had too much flipping pleasure ! Guess what gonna be tomorrow - yep day 3 of the zone - bet you looking forward to that hun.

Hey Agnes how you doing. You are most welcome to join us. Good luck with restart tomorrow. Whats your experiences with CD?

Hi Jackie - scales seem to be going down, will see what Tuesday brings. If minimal weight loss i will move up a plan. Going to collect my CD tonight so will have a chat with her then. Bet you feel better that your clothes are looser. What are you going to do SS or one of the other plans?

Deb, where are you How you doing?

Hi Shanny, good to hear from you. I know, i been thinking about it to prepare myself because i didn't really want to move up a plan until the week before i go just so that i can re-introduce food. Will see what happens? But i preparing myself in case i have to - i would just find it easier...

Kira, if you are excercising are you having the right no of shakes a day? Your first few weeks can really zap you of energy and maybe you do need more?

PS walked an 18 minute mile last night, going to do 2 tomorrow night. Its the start of my "i really want to start running" drive x

Hi Kira, come on, get yourself to bed and day 1 of 100% will be over, and then guess what, yep, day 2 of 100% SS. You can do this, visualise something, a feeling that you had when you went somewhere and felt disgusted with yourself. These feelings bury themselves in your head, but as soon as...

Hi ya'll - its day 65 Well day 65, and still trying to keep motivated. Isn't it strange that i can now get into some 14s but mostly 16s and am starting to feel like i am getting to a somewhat 'normal' weight and that feeling that way isn't enough to keep me motivated. I feel like i...

How have you done Kira - how was the weekend?

Hi Ya'll WI this morning. Just -1lb off. Oh well. When i look back in the scheme of things i suppose that i have lost 12lbs in the last 4 weeks and that is fantastic, so i shouldn't get disheartened. Just hope for a bigger better loss next week. I am trying to myself here so that i don't...

Hi y'all Got a busy weekend this weekend, going shopping for holiday bits and taking neices out as a birthday treat. Been 100% on plan since my anniversary meal - straight back to the job in hand! Stepped on the scales this morning and they still going the right way. Ebay purchases...

Hi Jackie - lol if it works for you hun thats great. The thing is Jackie i a bit worried because i think i could have eaten it again. But i would let myself pinch a chip or any cheese. its scary!

Deb - where are you, how you doing?

Hi Kira That is the feeling the 'embarrassed and a complete failure' that puts me in the 'zone' and i try to remember that feeling every time i even think about cheating. Well done on the running - its something i have always wanted to do run, and i admire anyone that does. I would love to...

Jackie - how are you finding w8?

Hi Y'all How you all doing? Well i went out for a meal last night, had my shake in the morning and my bar at tea time (along with 3L), we ate about 9pm. I got really dressed up, its wierd because i can't remember the last time that i did. I wore a black dress and hold ups and did...

Hey Ruby Angel, social events are a nightmare in your first few weeks. You will get through it and don't let anyone try to put you off hun x

How are you finding it at the moment, my 4th day was hell x

:D Thanks for all the congrats, i know i doing well just want to know how well i going to do. Wonder how much a crystal ball weighs. FBS, its probably not advised that i do that, i still paying the fine off from the last time (:p joke). How are you all doing today? Jackie i gonna look up...

Hi Dancing, no i don't excercise, have just started walking and planned to start some sit ups this week have a bit of a hectic week this week and a friend has just come to stay so might be a bit difficult. i drink between 5 & 7 litres a day usually, but having said that only really managed 3 /...

Hi ya'll 4lbs off - thats good, gotta keep going Just a quick post with a WI update. I at work and gonna be really busy today so thanks all for posting and will respond to you all later when i get home x

When your next WI hun?

I ok hun, you don't hate CD dear, you are embracing it, it will work, it will work, it flippin will. I only ever have choc shakes (and 1 bar a day) because its not something i want to look forward too, does that make any sense. I need to have the mentality i need to eat to live, not live to eat x

I know i a stress head lol, but i never really cared so much about it before, when i done LL/CD in past i just did it really to get rid of weight, and prob for a hol/event i never got myself in this state about being afraid to eat. I am very focused on CD so i feel ok about doing it, i just...

Did you find you couldn't eat like you used to?

LOL, do you mean really or really Shanny, you do make me smile and your right about CD being here when i get back x

Hi Fat Boy Slimmin - how you doing, how you finding CD?

Did you eat and drink to your hearts content or were you careful Shanny?

HI Shanny, want to do 100 days and then come off a week before my hols and start to introduce chicken - strictly no toast (oh god i miss toast so much) and veggies until the week after then i really want a slice of toast. Will get straight back on SS when i get back for a fortnight then i will...

OH lost 3lbs this week on SW, but you can see he lost inches as his tummy gone down. He on one last push for hols to get a stone off, i am convinced cos he been playing at it since i started CD his first WI is affected, his body doesn't know if its coming or going?

How you doing Deb?

Hi Shanny She lives quite a long way away, and she is only at other end of phone if i do need to talk to her. I just got new scales and weigh myself every Tuesday morning at the same time. You still planning WW, what you doing at the moment?

Hi Macy, hope you dont mind me asking but did you eat and drink (alcohol) as you would before you went on CD whilst on hols, i think you did fab to only put on 4lb.

Hi Shanny, no hun, i just weigh myself on a Tuesday morning. I just get my stock once a month from my CDC. How you doing?

WI tomorrow and i not even looking forward to it!

Hi Dancing - i have been thinking about toilet paper all day lol. I know what you mean, i know exactly what you mean. Probably too much info but its really my overhang that i am worried about. How has your day been today? Hi Jackie - did your w8 arrive? Still obsessing about the next few...

Day 55 - Still 100% SS Well i starting the countdown to my hols, i am now on day 55 and plan to come off on day 100, which gives me about a week to re-introduce food. Done a little bit of excercise today in the form of walking, we set off for a stroll and ended up doing a flippin 5 mile...

Hi Shanny, how you doing? You moving forward with the ww yet. Jackie - just silly arguments really nothing to do with CD, just him being a bloke, and i don't think CD will change that (but i can but try lol). How you doing?

I am having a really sad day today, problems at home, but i am not going to eat, i am going to take myself to the pictures. Hope you are all having a better day.

Hi Shanny Whats up hun, how are you struggling, is it the food, the head what is it?

Deb, would you mind if i let my sis have yr email if she needs to talk? They haven't got a conclusive diagnosis yet

Hi Jackie How you doing? What kind of mix did you have yesterday. Are you managing to keep occupied?

Day 50 - 100% SS, HALF WAY POINT. Morning ya'll WI today, 4lbs off and half way point in terms of days. Thats good. Starting to feel it now, the effort has been tremendous but i just need to keep plodding on. Feel it will be easier because i can see the difference even in clothes...

Hi Shanny When you starting WW? Are you prepared in the head, if you know what i mean? I bet nothing would taste as good as the way you feel about yourself right now x

Day 49 - Still 100% SS Hi ya'll Not been around this weekend as spent some time with my family. Its been a really strange week with CD, its happened and i haven't really thought about it on one hand, but on the other its like its boring, i am so bored of thinking about it. I don't...

Hi Shanny I was asking how tall you were because you look great, and i hope i look the same @ 10stone. I am 5ft 2", 10 stone is my goal and if i look as fab as you do i will be a happy bunny. Good luck on WW its a good diet i have done it before. let us know how you go hun, cos i be wanting...

Hi Jackie Not really concentrating on CD this week, its just happening if you know what i mean. I have got so much going on right now that i don't have much energy and if i honest i still shattered from not being very well over the weekend. Cant seem to shake this tiredness even though i...

Day 44 - Still 100% SS Hi Y'all Bit of a strange day yesterday. My brother in law is in hospital at the moment, he has had paralysis for the last month and yesterday he was diagnosed with MS. He is 40, just a year younger than me. It really makes you think about your life, my sister...

Day 43 Hi ya'll Just a quickie cos i at work. WI today i lost 3lbs and its TOTM so i quite pleased about that. Thats 2 stone down, and gonna go for another 2 stone before my hols in 9 weeks - will have to see how it goes, its not the end of the world if i can't do the 2. Sorry didn't...

Day 41 Hi ya'll - i don't feel unwell today just absolutely shattered. We went to watch friend and his son play cricket this morning, parents v kids so that was a laugh. Tired now though, infact we got back @ 12.30 and i been asleep since. Had my 2 shakes and bar, and just sipping my 2nd...

Deb hun, are you ok?

Hi Jackie, well how was your day, is your headache any better? What day are you on now? I love listening to the rain too, but it hasn't rained here until today. You sound happy with your new CDC, you spoke to her yet, do you think she will call? She is right in what she says, every day is...

Day 40 - STill 100% SS Well today has been just awful.:character00264: I didn't go to sleep till 2.30 as he was snoring his head off and i had back ache so just couldn't get comfy, I woke up again at 5.30 with absolutely terrible pain in my stomach, i had just come on and the pain was...

Hi Jackie Good on ya pickin yr food up - how does yr new cdc seem different? I am so busy at work at moment haven't really got time to think about cd. Been shopping at asda tonight and bought myself one of those long grey cardies with like the double breasted fronts, does anyone know what...

Day 39 :bliss: Lets all have a disco, lets all have a disco - the scales said 12s, the scales said 12s Lets all have a disco, lets all have a disco na na na nah, na na na nah:family2: sung to the tune of lets all have a disco x

I good Deb, and you will be soon. How are you feeling - is it the negative thought thing? Are you trying to talk yourself out of it? What did your CDC advise.

Goal is same as you 10stone, i think i should prob try to get to 91/2 to then allow myself to stabalise. I just keep telling myself that losing another 9lb puts me half way there. I laughed at the scales this morning cos i stepped on and it flashed 12 13 1/4, then it went to 13 0 1/4, its...

Thats ok hun, i ain't looking at your bum. You keep saying your greatful to CD, but don't forget Shanny the commitment you made to yourself, CD can't do that for you, that all came from you. Yes i have bars, i have 1 a day. I asked my CDC if she thought i shouldn't have one every day (they...

That white dress looks the mutts nuts on you - you should have that one as yr profile pic cos you can't really see the one you have x

Shanny - you look absolutley amazing and your tummy is so flat! You were pretty before you started, you are stunning now! Surely its that flat tum that keeps you going x

Hey PP if i wasn't a serial eater then i wouldn't be on here lol x Its sounds to me like you are trying to talk yourself out of it, and half the battle to this diet is the negative thoughts. The thing is PP you know you can do it hun!!!! You know you can, you need to make the decision and...

Hi Shanny, today is a good day but having a social life is exhausting, but i am so glad its starting to happen. Did you start to work up the plans? We about the same starting weight? How long did it take you to hit goal? I tried to look at your pics but can't see them? God thats alot of...

Hi PP Sorry to hear you not want to do CD anymore, and that you not feeling so good. I just try to put the negative thoughts about what i want to do when i feel stressed etc etc, because i know what ever the problem is it isn't going to go away if i eat something. I am trying to learn a...

Hi Jackie - i not played uno for years, let me know if you win lol. Good to see you in the zone. Yeah I really glad i met a friend too. Hi Shanny, thanks for your best wishes, where are you at the moment, you have lost alot of weight what plan are you on now? I bet you feel like a million...

Morning Jackie how you doing? Had a good night last night, just a good old chin wag. The Ruby book is ok and its not like i thought it would be, will give you a bit of a review later. Not finished it yet though with me being busy last night x

Well done deb - thats so fantastic hun xxxx

Deb - how you doing?

Hi Shell - i doing great, into 6th week now. 4th day was hell and found prob the first 3 weeks a struggle if i am honest. No no fish and chips, i being a really good girl, how are you doing?

Day 37 - Still 100% SS. Hi y'all Well it seems my social life is picking up, and my promise to myself to not decline any invites is paying off dividends, i have a new friend, (she is the wife of OHs friend). I have met her once before (before CD), but last night went to a bbq at...

HI Jackie Where are you, how you doing on CD?

Day 36 - Still 100% SS Hi y'all Sorry i not been about we went on hols for a week at the caravan (with me mother and nieces), and went to lots of the seaside towns in east yorks. Where i am so pleased to say we visited donut, hotdog, candy floss, and even a fantastic icecream parlour and i...

Hi Jackie, yes they gone now. I have just pm'd KD and hopefully she will respond, does she usually?

Hi Guys, no i don't mind you saying that at all. I have always drank so much water when i on these diets, on LL i was drinking 8 & 9 L a day. I know that if you drink too much too quickly that it can be dangerous. I drink 4L water when i not on a diet because i don't really drink tea or...

Hi Shanny, thanks for posting, i always have drank so much water, i drink 4L as a norm anyway but find i get really bored if i have nothing to focus on and then my mind starts to wander. i have been drinking between 5 and 7 since i started and my CDC said that is fine if its what i need. I...

HI Deb, WI tomorrow, struggling today, i just want to eat eat eat eat, for some unknown reason i would kill for fish and chips and it has to be that!

God today is so hard, i cannot stop thinking about fish and chips and don't even know how the idea got there. I can honestly say that i in the last 4 weeks i have never thought about food so much! Should probably just go home and go to bed!

Well done Deb, knew you could do it x

How you doing Deb?

Day 28 - Still 100% SS. Well i did the caravan and did the christening and still remain totally 100% SS. The food at the Christening was amazing, the parents of the baby own a bistro so that is where the reception was, totally amazing food and even more amazing deserts, champagne, wine you...

Hi Jackie, how you feeling this evening, how is your tummy? You are having lots of negative thoughts right now, where did all they come from? Will come off CD before i go on hols, i won't be getting drunk or anything like that but would like the odd glass of wine. PP are you ok???

Day 25 - Still 100% SS Strange day today. Been fine with water but have thought about food quite often today. I going away for night tomorrow night my mum hired a caravan and she going with my neices. I made bolognaise to take with us and just stopped myself from tasting it. Don't know...

How you doing Jackie, what you up to. You joining us CDers? again?

Day - 24 Still 100% SS Feel quite down today. I managing with my water ok, and trying to keep myself active. I suppose i just feel like i am waiting for my life to start. Been thinking today about what to do when i go on my hols, i will of hopefully done 100 days on SS by then and that...

Hi PP how was your day (what day is it now). How you feeling, are you still loving your scales? Are you drinking the water ok, i seem to be getting through enough. Have you got an occasion or a goal that you are trying to look for, anything to focus on? Hi Jackie, good to hear from you...

Maybe we found it, its just not socially acceptable to do it in restaurants ha ha ha x

Hey Deb, i just read your diary. We are very similar in our relationship to food. It's never let us down! Its made us happy and made us sad. It brings back memories of childhood and lots of other hopefully happy social occasions in our lives. My relationship with food stems from...

Day 23 - still 100% SS I been doing ok with my water, and saw another 1lb off this morning, (thats not official ) its going in right direction. OH wanted fish and chips for tea, but i managed to talk him out of it, he says he is quite bored with the food on the diet cos if he has meat its...

That is brilliant PP, absolutley fantastic. Bet you are as pleased as punch. I think the average is about 1stone a month, or so i have read. Another lady (Charleypolequeen) lost 5 stone in 12 weeks, so it can be done. I read it on the shoutbox at the top of the page. How you feeling...

Hi Deb, let me know where you post, and please feel free to post on mine. I have tried to fill in every day, and have mostly even it its not that interesting (alot of the time it isn't). But at least others know that it can be done. The only thing driving me to be honest is my holiday. I...

Deb, i weigh myself every morning, even the founder of the diet says that there is no reason you shouldn't because you are experiencing alot of weight loss and it is the only thing that spurs you on (to see benefits) when you are being so strong.

Hi Deb, i ok. Getting through, just bored know what i mean? I done 20lbs now though and this is my fourth week i on. Thats right, take it one day at a time, maybe plan an early night on day 4 i didn't even have the strength to have a bath first? That was my total worst day, then day 5 was...

How's it going Deb? How you feeling?

Day 22 - Still 100% SS Well i ordered my next months supply today. If i can manage another stone a month then i should be 2 1/2 stone lighter by the time my holiday comes around. I pleased with my weight loss today, and must admit the tops of my legs feel different, and not like they are...

HI PP, how you doing today. Are you feeling ok, how did 4th day blues go. What the scales say this morning hun? Yes, i delighted with my loses, but looking at my weight card for last year i know that next week was a really slow week, so i am going to up my daily water intake to 7L a day. (i...

Hi Guys Just a quick post, as i at work. Just wanted to come and update my tracker 4lbs off, and must say i much happier about my loss this week than i was last. Will catch up with you all at lunch time. Have a good day.

Hi Jackie I just rang CDCs in our area and they all charge the same, so no chance of getting in cheaper

Day 21 - Still 100% SS Hi all hope you are having a good day. Been invited to a christening on Sunday, will be ok because i will feel nicer in my dress. But will stay 100%, been to wedding / through Xmas and alsorts when i was on LL, i know i can do it. Your not there for a long time with a...

Yes, it is a massive effort. I have been reading CD book (by founder) he makes it sound like a sinche. He just said that you may experience headaches, dizziness, tiredness. But drink more water. He does not state that you will feel like death (like i did on my 4th day) and that you might be...

Hi Deb, you can do it hun. Its hard to restart, but you know what the benefits are and they feel so much better than the way your feeling now. Day 21 for me, i just starting to come out of other side of all the crappy feelings. Good luck

Hi all how you doing I having an ok day, scales look like i lost 3 this week, but officially not weighed till tomorrow. PP you had your 4th day yet. Well done for cooking for the family. Its hard, but you do get used to it. Not sure if my energy levels are ok at the moment to start...

Hi Jackie I not been near a clothes shop, too many with tags on still in my wardrobe. I know what you mean about where you will/won't shop though. The Open is golf, i went last year never having seen any golf in my life and i loved it. Now we have golf on every weekend. When we go on hols...

Day 20 - Still 100% SS Hi all, day 20 here. With every day i move closer to my holidays, but in CD terms it still seems an awfully long way away (its 11 weeks ish). I been thinking about doing some excercise to tone now that wk3 nearly done. I picked my CD book up this weekend, and its...

Hi Jackie Glad you back on track. I cant believe that there is £7 difference in the prices. Thats quite alot over the weeks/months. I dont think there another CDC in our area cheaper, so i suppose they have got the monopoly on it? Wow, thats alot of lush stuff, sounds like its quite far...

Hi Jackie Thats brilliant news :gen126: I bet you really pleased because you have been doing excellent, and have been really focused. What did you do this evening? What did you get from lush?

Hi Jackie Good to hear that you ok. I bet you really hacked off that you can't get hold of any CD, it takes such a long time to get your head round doing the diet that when you get obstacles they seem harder to overcome. Why not have a look at that Xante if its a VLCD meal replacement that you...

Morning all Welcome BB, i think the only advise i can give (i more than a first time restarter, restarter) is that you have to make a decision. You have to think about the reasons you are on the diet. Its true that every time you start its harder! With CD its hard, its hard because food...

Hi PP Good to hear from you, and well done for not giving in. One day at a time :nono: x I laughing at the thought of you tapping yourself to get rid of the craving. I bet it didn't work really but your dislocated shoulder took your mind off it. I bought all the Paul Mckenna CDs and have a...

Day 18 (yes it definately is I double checked) - Still 100% SS. Feel quite normal today, last 2 nights i have been really exhausted, but still unable to get an early night because when my head hits the pillow i wake up, but thats quite normal for me. Just felt different somehow today...

Hi Jackie Thats what i pay, i didn't know you could get it cheaper (pay £40 for 21 shakes and about £42 for 14 shakes and 7 bars) I thought that they all had to charge the same?? Stay in touch!!!

Hi Jackie The other one doesn't sound very reliable though does she, why not get a weeks supply from the first lady, gives you a little more time?

Hi PP:queen: :happy096: on completing day 1, lets just do it one day at a time hun x

Jackie Can't you get a week of the lady you went to see already? K

Hi PP I was the worst on the 4th day. I suppose i just figure that i am spending my own money to go and purchase this 'special' diet, and if i on it for 12 wks thats £510 worth of reasons to stick to it. I know it works. I have never indulged when i been doing a meal replacement diet...

Hi Jackie You spoke to the CDC yet? Did you collect packs when you went Tues night? How you feeling today? I still tired, you said your friend felt the same, is she on CD? I usually have 2 shakes and 1 bar a day, but am going to try to alternate the bars when i finished this months...

Hi Pound Princess Thanks for posting. I have done diet quite a few times and was just completing LL when the lady died (from drinking 4L water in an hour). So i know what you mean when you say about the dangers of drinking too much water, and usually build up a little a day as the...

Hi Jackie Well done on yr 3lb off, thats great for your 2nd week. how you feeling about stopping the milk, are you still in Ketosis?

:4635:Day 22 - Still 100% SS Again, must be dreaming, its actually day 16??, no its not its day 17 - i have really really lost the plot? Well despite my best efforts last night, having a bath and going to bed at 7.15pm i was still awake at 11.30pm. When i did fall asleep i had a good nights...

:beam::beam:Day 21 - Still 100% SS. Not quite sure how i got that, its actually day 15??? 6L water gone today and i feel so tired, i have had a bath and i am about to go to bed, yes really at this time. I just don't know why i feel like this, i have not over exerted myself in any way. Any...

Ok Jackie Well done on your WI, speak later, let me know how last night went.

Hi Jackie You been to see your CDC, how it go? How you find her? What did you get and how much she charge (i sure i read somewhere that it was going up - does anyone know how much?) Will you keep going every week and get weighed there? When is your weigh day is it tomorrow? How...

Hi Deana :wave_cry: Thanks for posting, its such a strange feeling, i know what you mean about re-reading my posts but to be honest it was only over a week ago that i thought my head was going to explode and i couldn't get off the couch because i felt so bad. So its kind of instilled in my...

Well, like i said earlier, i don't know how i feel today, and i should be jumping for joy at my 3.5lb loss. Is anyone else experiencing this i on week 3 day 1 and just feel so not low but non chalant. Where as at the weekend i felt like bring it on. OH just had SW chips smothered in S&V, i...

Hi Jackie Would but sat at work. Don't feeling like dancin..dancin

Well guys, i have lost 3.5lbs and its week 2, can't honestly say how i feel right now, i know that it should be delighted but if i am honest i don't quite know what is up with me?

Day 14 - Still 100% SS Well i can honestly say today i am so bored, bored bored bored. I have been 100% SS since i started, i drinking lots of water and i try to keep active. But i feel really bored. I can see a difference in my face, my jeans are much comfier and my boobs are starting...

Hi Cornish, congratulations on your midweek WI, thats fantastic for week 3 Nally how are you doing, how you feeling now? Geri F First weigh in always good whatever the scales say make a massive difference to how you feel in week 2.

Hi all how you all doing today x

Good luck for tonight Jackie x

Day 13 - Still 100% SS Felt quite ill this afternoon and had to have a sleep - i drank 4L of water before 1pm and i don't think my body liked it. So I ended up just drinking 5L today. I found myself quite bored this afternoon before i went to sleep, i felt like i could run a mile, but knew i...

I know trying not to get too excited about what might be then, i keep remembering how i felt this time last year (had lost 2.5 stone on CD) but then personal problems hit and obviously put it back on. But i did feel so good about myself and very confident. I am already starting to feel...

What did you end up doing last night Jackie, anything good?

Me too Jackie, hopefully in September sales, thats the plan anyway cos we go 2nd week October. I had my first shake at 9 when he was having his fry up, its his last day before he starting SW so we clearing the house of stuff that he can't have. I felt really tired last night but feel ok...

Jackie - how you feeling today?

Hi Jackie I do love coast but only make choice purchases from there, wouldn't shop there for everyday clothes, just something a bit special and then would have to save up for it. I have never tried lush products, might give them a go, what would you recommend? Why you feeling low hun?

Day 12 - Still 100 % SS Well, what with the heat i have drank 7L water today and could probably keep drinking but i find if i drink anything after 7.30/8pm i am at the toilet all night so feel exhausted in the morning. Had a good day today, it was far too hot to spend the afternoon on the golf...

Thanks for that Bev, i have read somewhere else that a malteser is 0.5 each, there are 10 in a bag, so sounds right. Thanks for responding

Hi Jackie OH wants to lose a couple of stone before his hols, he went on it 2 months ago lost 1.5 stones and felt better so gave it up, and guess what yes - its all gone back on. He saw a side shot of himself in a mirror the other day and came home and said that he wanted to go back on it...

Hi all I currently on CD but partner starting/joining SW on Tuesday. Could anyone tell me pls how many syns are in a funsize bag of maltesers so that i can get some at shopping? He has a really sweet tooth and i thought these might help. He loves oreos but they 2.5 a shot. Have the books...

Hi Jackie My favourite dress shop is defo coast, and i have 3 dresses in my wardrobe (that didn't go in the rag bag) that i can't wait to get into they are so nice and one of them i have had for 5 yrs and everyone always comments on how nice it is, i bought it when i couldn't really afford it...

Day 11 - Still 100 % SS Hi all Well i only just sat down, been cleaning and ironing to keep busy since i got in from work. I went shopping today and can honestly say i really wasn't bothered about anything, cos i on a diet he is going to start SW so got him veg and fruit etc, but he not...

Hi Jackie - just a quick post cos i am at work. You might find that the water flavourings can make you loose, that is one of the reasons why i don't touch them, but i did experience that last week and i am not using them (all sorted now), apparently they are fibre so they can do that if you...

Hi Jackie What you been up to today? How have you found it? I just paid 2 wks ago £170 for 3 weeks supply of bars (cos you can't have them in the first week) and 1 full week of choc powder shake and 3 weeks of 2 choc shake a day...does that make any sense. I don't bother with the flavoured...

Day 10 - Still 100% SS Hi all Well i have drank 7L today, didn't feel quite so bad this afternoon. Think i have worked out what my sicky / weird feeling is in the afternoon, i only usually drink tapwater and if i buy bottled water (not that i do cos i got about 7 empty 1L bottles...

Day 9 - Still 100% SS Day 9, i suppose when you think about it i am over the 'worst' but it does seem daunting when you think that you are not going to eat for the next how ever many weeks. TOTM now, so glad it didn't happen on my WI day. Had 6L water today i try to drink a different amount...

Hey Jackie How you feeling today, well done on your 8lbs you happy with that hun? Its TOTM today, glad it wasn't yesterday cos it was my WI and we know what happens around that time. Looking forward to hearing from you and how you are doing, how are you finding it?

Hi there, don't know if this will be of any difference to you but i hate to drink my water cold from the tap. I fill my bottles up the night before and leave them overnight so the chill will go. I find it much easier to stomach. Good luck, you can do it!

Day 8, end of the day. Just had 5L water today with me not being so good yesterday. Feeling quite good this evening and apart from feeling a bit like i was drowing at about 3pm (had only had 2.5L by this stage) this afternoon i am in really good spirits. Have decided that i am going to go...

Hi dibzzy how are you sweetening your water - is it your first time on CD

Hi to you both. It does get better try to make sure you drink plenty but you are bound to think about food, (its my third time) unfortuantely its a given because everyone around you will be involved in it, and by day 3 of my start week last week i was really really narky, but by day 5 i...

You go for it Nally

Day 8 100% SS Week 2 What a weekend that was. After feeling really crap on Friday night i got up feeling fine on Sat morning. Drank 5L water that day and had my shakes. Sat night was really bad, unfortunatley had a massive bust up with my OH which really upset me (alcohol and sun...

Hi Mia, don't know if this helps but been looking at CD book which is by the founder of the diet, he states in there that we should try to drink at least between 3 - 4 litres a day of water. Hope your doing ok.

Well, i feel really bad, i felt so physically crap that i had a CD bar, i know they don't advise it in the first week but i just had to, my head was pounding and everytime i moved i felt like the the room was spinning. Do feel a little better in myself but i feel like i have betrayed myself...

Worst day As i mentioned earlier i feel really rubbish today and don't think i will be long out of bed, have drank 6L of water today so glad about that. I feel so bad, and the fact that it is so hot, i sat here sweating. Can't wait for Tuesday when i can chew. Just a short one for today cos...

i have just started to read yr diary from the beginning, yr journey inspires me x

i feel really really rough right now, the awful taste in my mouth is making me feel sick and i am so lethargic? Just had a shake, i don't usually have one till 6 and hoping that will bring me round. I hate day for blues they suck OHs gone out, we were both supposed to go to races and he wanted...

Mia, how much water are you drinking hun? I had a quick look at all the posts and i can't see it recorded?

Wow, i bet you feel on top of the world. Welldone x

Come on Amy, its all about attitude, and you have the right one x

Hi MsJMC (sorry don't know your name) Not heard of Armacao de Pera. I been to Alvor before and its quiet a lovely beach and some nice restaurants in the centre, but as with anywhere when you go abroad i suppose its only a base. We going to hire a car this time so need to do a bit of research-...

:(:(:( Day 3 Well almost the end of day 3 and boy am i cranky, have drank 7L of water today because it just gave me something to concentrate on. During the day today at work i swear i could literally smell food, not sure why but i know its in my head, i could physically smell tuna, buttered...

:o:o - Day 2 Well i went for it today and have drank 6L of water, i have a headache and boy do i feel narky. Its not helping that i not sleeping very well because of the heat. Feel quite proud that i came home made OHs tea and didn't even feel tempted, until i smelt it. I even sat down...

Go on Charlie, you can do it, only you know how you feel and you shouldn't have to justify it to anyone else. Some people have their own body issues, which is why they don't like to comment when someone is trying to help themself, let her wallow in what ever her issues are and you deal with...

BTW, what are lucky 7s?

No, the one thing i don't need is clothes.........i have 2 walls of wardrobes full of them (mostly 14s), i only shop at asda for my 'fat' clothes, i don't spend too much time looking at them and its more a case of what will fit. But even WHEN i get down my weight i do not need to buy any more...

Hey, i watched that program on Style Network called Ruby, her therapist said that the definition of insantity was wanting to change, but keeping everything the same! I suppose that is food for thought

Hi MsJMC Thanks for posting. I have lost 3.5 stone in 12 weeks on my first shot at LL, so i know if i stick 100% (i never ever cheated the whole time on LL) i know i can do it. I am going to Alvor - its a 4* hotel on the beach (got a really good deal), have stayed there before so i...

Well, its the end of day 1 again. Done 4 litres of water today I doing CD SS (my LLC used to say the more you drink the more you shrink) i like to start at 4L and then try build up 1 a week. Feeling a bit headachey. I usually have 1 shake in a morning and then one at tea time and one at about...

Well what a disaster that was. I have previously used LL (lost 3.5 stone) and then last year used CD (lost 3 stone) after putting all the weight back on the first time. I found it very difficult to get my backside into gear last year, i think you think that these diets and similar are an easy...

Charlie, come on you can do it You have already lost a tremendous amount of weight hun

Well what a disaster that was. I have previously used LL (lost 3.5 stone) and then last year used CD (lost 3 stone) after putting all the weight back on the first time. I found it very difficult to get my backside into gear last year, i think you think that these diets and similar are an easy...

Hi all, i new to site, started my return to CD on Saturday - can we do our journey together?
