Well I was weighed on Saturday and after a really hard week and lots of cheating I have stayed the same so at least I havent gained lol New week new start and this week I am going to try extra extra hard. I know the only person I am cheating is me and it will just make this journey longer...

I found day 1 relatively easy was full of motivation etc as the week goes on it does get harder I found days 3 & 4 the worst but with minis, water and really early nights I got through it. Stick to it and once you get to your first weigh in the results will spur you on. The key to the...

Im really pleased with the results so far and I have to say im not very hungry at all at the moment the thing I have to get over however is emotional hunger. My main problem apart from supersized portions is BREAD!!!! I love bread I have it with every meal and since i have got the bread maker...

Well again I was weighed on Saturday and after a hard week I have lost woo hoo and 4lb so all in all not bad thats nearly a stone in 4 weeks i have to say im happy with that. My CDC didnt measure me tho I would have been interested to see what inches i had lost. Good luck to all this week :cool:

Thanks for the advice girls!!! I guess ill just have to have the bars tomorrow when i see mt CDC. I love the bars !! Probably just feeling sorry for myself, woooo is me and all that I hate TOTM perhaps it was the wrong week to start with my hormones taking over!!

Well I am now on day 5 and although I have been struggling the last few days i finally feel like it may all be falling into place. The water is second nature now and i am gulping about 3.5/4.5ltrs a day. My main problem I have to admit is having all three packs as after all the fluids...

The hardest part I have just worked out is that i have a dull ache in my stomach like hunger pains. :sigh: Im trying to stay focused but I have to admit its really really hard. :( The funny thing is that i am craving boiled eggs and toast not a life size bar of galaxy or a KFC. :eek: Hmmmm...

I have the same problem !!! Men why can't they be more adventurous on Valentines Day!!! My husband think that because the way to his heart is through his stomach mine is too!!

Well I unofficially started this diet on Monday as I am unable to see my CDC till saturday. I have got a weeks supply of shakes from last year. Anyways my husband has just phoned me and suggested he cook a romantic meal tomorrow. Now dont get me wrong he is a great husband but since we got...

Day one wasnt the best if I am honest but it is partly down to myself I was in bed by 9.00pm with a splityting headache. I thought I would be clever and try and last as long as I could before having my shakes not always hungry first thing however by the time i had been shopping and run errands...

What a great post, really great to help get us all motivated. As much as many of us have many reasons to be embarking on CD im sure like many of you, one of my objectives is to feel confident and that will come from feeling good in the clothes i wear. I have been trawling the net for an outfit...

Took me a while to get use to mixamoose. Love it now tho choc mint, vanilla and Strawberry are the ones I have tried and I love them. I tend to make the shake up as normal and mix it smooth with 150ml water then add mixamoose mix further then refridgerate for 10/20 mins Yummy!!!!!!

Hi girls I was just wondering what everyones plans are months down the road. I have the notion that I will do CD till at least Christmas and then perhaps change to Slimming World so that I can change the way I eat for life. I have just spoken to a good freind who told me that they did the...

Hi I too tried to make the muffins with a vanila shake and ended up with a cross between porridge and stodge. I am also struggling with the mixamoose any handy hints.

Hi Stacey, Thats a great loss and if you think about it if you hadnt started CD then you wouldnt have lost that much, plus its 5lb off your total weight loss. I had a bad weekend was really tempted to cheat but the support of all the girls on minimins got me through. Im on day 12. Drinking...
