skinny jeans & a pair of Kurt Geiger's! :D

Hi guys, I came off plan for a while as I've been having lot's of health issues - anyway, now it turns out I have IBS on top of all of this. I have been in constant pain for the last week & can't face eating so I'm thinking of making a return to the plan to ensure that I will be getting all...

my losses have been dismal for the past few weeks after being put on 3 hormone tablets a day (on top of my implant), but ive had 3lbs off this week so i hope things have started to pick up! desperate to get 1.5st off (pre-preg & lowest ever adult weight!) by the time we go to florida at the end...

i think egg foo yung has been recommended on the forum before because its basically an omelette? or chow mein? Xx

congratulations!! :D:D:D

me.. my TOTM started within a week of starting the diet - i also have the implant - ive just started week 8 on the diet & its still going. its been an absolute nightmare because i have been prescribed norethisterone tablets to take 3 times a day on top to help stop the bleeding but its playing...

it's been another crap week for me :cry: ive been absolutely killing myself on SS/SS+ but because i have been on my period for the last 6/7 weeks, i've been prescribed norethisterone (hormone) tablets to take on top of my implant & its totally messed up my weight loss :( weigh-in yesterday &...

weight loss is usually less because u retain water - which is why u usually tend to see a slightly bigger loss the next week because it balances back out :) i started TOTM just after i started CD.. unfortunately, almost 7 weeks in & its not yet stopped which has caused me to have low losses...

thanks for the reassurance :) yeah its not WDW im worried about - ive researched it & shouldn't have any problems there.. its just IOA & Universal thats got me a bit worried. i cant wait to go - ive never been before, but i dont want to go & end up being heartbroken! Xx

We're all booked for 3 weeks in Florida at the end of April, but I'm having a sudden panic about the theme parks.. I'm 5'4, currently weigh 16st (size 20), although I am hoping to lose another 2st before we go, but I'm worrying myself sick that I won't fit on any of the rides.. It would be...

i started this just before starting CD but i was heavily advised against it whilst on the plan by my Dr & my CDC so i gave it up... the reason they explained was that exercise this intense can not only burn u out on the lower CD plans, but it will cause u to retain water (therefore affecting ur...

i did my first 3 weeks on 1000 plan & lost 18lbs in that time so i definitely think u will still see some brilliant losses on 810 :D Xx

cutting down on your carb intake will help ease u into it a bit more - the first week is crappy anyway so preparing your body by easing off the carbs just makes having to deal with carb withdrawal that little bit easier. Xx

thanks everyone! eugh, ive been soooo ill today.. ive lost 3lbs in the space of 12hrs because ive thrown up that much.. that'll teach me for moaning about the scales not moving this week! Xx

lots of luck hun! Xx

jealous! haha. well done hun, what a fab feeling it must be! can't wait til i start dropping sizes.. almost 2st gone & zilch. Xx

hiiii :D i'm laura, im 25, im originally from the north devon coast, but now live in teesside with my hubby & two beautiful boys (leo, 2 & lucas, 4 months) & im hoping to start my midwifery training in the next couple of years. i started out at 17st 13lbs which was helped along by 2 pregnancies...

aww thanks everyone! i have a feeling this week isn't going to be so great lol. STILL TOTM (just approaching 6wks now!! argh, its getting ridiculous) & its getting heavy again so ive put on 1lb.. trying to drink as much water as possible to keep me from retaining too much. Xx

thanks for sharing ladies & congratulations setas! Xx

I was just wondering, how has your inch loss compared to your weight loss? Are you seeing more results on the scales or more results on the tape measure? So far, in 5 weeks (3 weeks on 1000cal & 2 weeks on SS/SS+), I've lost 25lbs plus.. 1 inch off each arm 2 inches off my bust 3 inches off...

..& 5lbs off! its been constant TOTM since i started the diet which has been an absolute nightmare so i only lost 3lbs in the previous 2 weeks & its soooooo good to see the scales moving again!! that gives me a total of 25lbs overall - meaning im a quarter of the way through!!! :D:D:D chuffed! Xx

be thankful lol, ive been on for almost 5 blimmin' weeks now so pretty much the whole time ive been on the diet! total nightmare!! Xx

choc mint as a hot choc - the only shake i can stomach (can't stand the soups or porridge!).. love the choc & banana tetras & most of the bars are yummy!! orange is by farrr the best, but i love the cranberry, caramel & toffee ones too.. mint choc is alright but it tastes a bit like cardboard...

i email my order form to my CDC the day before my appointment & then write a cheque for her when there. never had any problems not getting the ones i want. Xx

i think having a reward for milestones is a brilliant idea to help spur u on & i know a lot of people are doing it for every 7lbs or every stone, but ive decided to go down the dress size route as this is what im aiming for rather than a particular weight.. i have about 4 or 5 sizes to drop so...

totally untrue hun! i was a size 20/22 when i did my fashion degree - and there were a fair few girls bigger. but maybe u should set it as one of ur goals.. UCAS opens again in september, by which time u could be exactly where u want to be ;) u should go for it! new size, new direction! Xx

me too - but on the plus side, at least its not because we're not losing fat! its just because our body's are retaining water so theoretically u should see a bigger loss than usual next week (i might not because its been TOTM for 3 blimmin' weeks already & it doesnt look like its about to go...

im an ex-fashion student & even i find it difficult to style myself lol.. i would totally love to be Gok'd! :D i just think its a case of having a major girly shopping day (or weekend!) & take along friends u know will be brutally honest.. others tend to see what we can't see for ourselves. Xx

I'm not brave enough to try the 'shred' just yet so instead thought I'd dust off my Wii Fit (Plus) & build up a bit of exercise seeing as I'm not really doing any at the minute! lazy.. Does anyone else use a Wii Fit to aid CD? Does it make a difference to your weight/inch loss? Or is a complete...

gosh hun, if u actually feel how heavy 2lbs is, u would be totally amazed! each lb seems so insignificant to us as individuals for some reason, but it is heavy! plus a loss is better than a gain & everyones right - u should look at the whole picture because u have done amazing in the time u have...

first period after birth for me (it was never going to be pretty lol) but ive had the implant in & obviously started CD - ive now been on for 2 bloody weeks! argh. which means my scales have barely moved in the last 2 weeks :( Xx

yayyyyy :D well done!!! it's great to see the results isn't it! Xx

aww thanks everyone! :D ive had 2 inches off my thighs & an inch off my hips, waist & arms too! woohoo! Xx

sorry for the pointless post, but i know how much u all appreciate weight loss as opposed to anyone else i talk to who dont seem overly bothered lol, & i really wanted to get it off my chest.. so i started preparing for the diet on the 2nd Jan by cutting down on my carbs.. officially started...

aww thanks MinnieMel :D forums like this are absolutely fantastic for support so even being a new member has had a positive impact on my motivation! which reminds me Small Jaxy, have a look at the before/after pics & read everyone's storys - if anything will put u in the right frame of mind that...

yep, im a serial weigher too.. i know i shouldn't but i just can't help it! i constantly need reassurance to keep my motivation from swaying lol. Xx

i thoroughly agree with the wise ones about having your head in the right place.. i know its insignificant, but i tried cambridge in november 2009 - i wanted to lose weight, but i obviously didnt want it badly enough because i caved in the first week.. but this time around im now on day 9 (which...

thanks everyone :D im really enjoying the 1000 plan SacredSilence - it doesn't feel quite as much like a diet as alongside ur 2 shakes, u can have a 150cal breakfast, pick on 200cal worth of low GI fruit throughout the day & still get to have a meal.. & u get a few carbs thrown in like granary...

my family are exactly the same, if i mention dieting they tell me not to be daft because i only gave birth to my son just over 3 months ago & they say my body needs time to recover blah blah.. but ive given it enough time & now i want to whip it back into shape lol. luckily, i don't have to tell...

aww thanks everyone :D here's hoping it continues! Xx

...8lbs lost!! :D since first CDC session last tuesday but 9lbs with CD overall as i started the day before & 13lbs including the weekend i did for prep before starting! i know other people have lost more on the SS plan but im so chuffed with myself! im amazed as its TOTM too lol...

aww thanks for the advice :D im a studentmidwife.net addict so i have the knowledge side of things covered.. i just wish i wasn't so rubbish at interviews lol. Xx

aww, im jealous lostpolarbear! this is my second year applying (hate that its so damn competitive!! lol) so hoping this is my year! how have u found the course? :) i dont think the programme makes me broody but thats possibly because i have a 2 year old & a 3 month old running me ragged at...

im just coming to the end of my access (phew!) & have an interview at York next friday! im totally bricking it lol. Xx

im hoping to become a student midwife this year so once again im addicted to it :D Xx

i loooove the choc mint hot :D

thanks determinator - guess i'll just have a messy omelette, im sure it will still taste just as good! :D Xx

thanks for ur reply :) ive got some fry light, just wasn't sure if i could use that on SS+?

has anyone got any tips on preventing an omelette from sticking to the pan without the use of oil/butter? Xx

because ur body is constantly being hydrated, it has no need to store the water in ur body.. which is why its imporant to stick to the water intake rule :) Xx

im so glad its not just me! im only on day 3 but the first time i did it i lost lbs overnight so to not be seeing anything coming off (the 7lbs on my ticker was pre-cambridge) in one of the hardest parts of the diet can be really demotivating! fingers crossed the scales start moving for us soon...

thanku for the tips! duly noted & ill be sure to follow them :D ive written a list of mini goals now i just need to think of things i can treat myself with! non-food related of course ;) & i'm sure i'll be a forum freak in no time to help spur me on! im starting on tuesday too size 16 will do...

thanku ladies! congratulations on both of your losses so far - u are both fabulous! seeing as im in it for the longhaul, do u have any tips for keeping motivated should i waver at any point? Xx

hi :D congrats on ur new arrival! im a newbie to the forum but i did a couple of weeks on CD back in nov/dec 2009 before falling pregnant with my second son.. he was born in september 2010 so im in desperate need of getting back on track as two pregnancies in three years has taken its toll! im...

aww, thanks everyone :) i've had a look through the before/after pics thread & i must say, it's incredibly inspirational! i can't wait to get started! good luck on your journey's! Xx

I'm a newbie! :D I did CD for a couple of weeks back in Nov/Dec '09 but stopped when I fell pregnant with my second son! Two pregnancies in 3 years has taken it's toll on my body & I have put on almost 4st (argh!).. My pre-pregnancy weight was around 14st (and that was the smallest I have been...
