Aaaaaw thank you Mini :)

Awe thanks babe. I did go to see my dr earlier on and he said lots of water etc. I didn't tell him about the diet though. I just didn't want him to try to talk me out of it. My CDC ended up popping in on me and just from seeing me she said I need to up my sugar levels. I'm anaemic too which...

As my title says I'm not feeling so great. I'm on day 3 today and not at ALL hungry. I did manage two boiled eggs, for protein rather than hunger. I just feel soooo weak. What should I do?? I'm proud I've hit day three but feel like I'll pass out any minute. My temp was just under 40 about two...

Hi.. As the title says...what is your cd routine? I was juse wondering as i think mine is erm...weird hehe. I have a shake at 12pm ish for breakfast (i have it as late as i possibly can), then around 6pm i have a porridge or soup... followed by a hot shake after 9pm. I like it this way but am...

Mmmmm vodka......mmm! Lol..enjoy ur drink hon. Good luck for sat and i do think keeping a diary will keep u going...ur lucky, not much for u to loose xxx

Ahh thanks girls! I actually forgot i'd not 'eaten' this morning..can ubelieve that!!?? I'm there thinking i'll delay brekki for as long as i possibly can and come kids lunch time i go to sort their yummy pasta (which i didn't even sniff) and suddenly i remember.. how cool haha. So i had the...

When i was pregnant with my daughter a friend was pregnant too... we both gained weight but she was a size 12 before baby fat (sorry dont like using 'fat' to describe someone, but u know what i mean) anyway...bearing in mind i had 4 kids in a space of 5 years..she'd had one... i'll never forget...

Haha thanks hon.. xx

Day 4...already!! Been up since 7am, had 3 pints of water already so one to go. Still have the horrible sore throat... kids seem full of sniffles today too. I really hope it's not my tonsills AGAIN, grrr! Because i drank the water earlier during the day yesterday i didn't get up once woohoo. Am...

Chelle, go for it hon.It does work and as some of the girlies have said reading diaries of those who never saw it possible but did it will give u inspiration. Good luck xx

Thank you Goreygirl. Haha now that sounds like a plan..honestly i feel all hormonal so if i'm not smiling and talking about a slimmer future i am hitting him with cusions...i have to say though, he is soooo good... can't believe he puts up with me sometimes! Yesssss... i can't wait to hear those...

Aaaaaaw thanks!! Thats made me smile through that numbness hehe.. seriously... i think when others are encouraging you it certainly gives you strength you never knew existed. Just reading your little msg has made me feel very positive! When you say your obsessed with cookery programmes...

Wooow..go girl!! U are so brave cooking dinner for the boys..i've told dh that he is to cook for the first 4 days.. he has been pretty lazy but am glad i've not got so involved!! How are you feeling?? Try and avoid nurofen etc unless you actually get a headache..they're fast acting pain killers...

Doingthis for me...phew am so glad u explained that..i was getting all paro then.. I know what you mean about facebook though..it can become a bit school play goundy ish. Aawwe , hope u get back on soon. xx RaeRae wow, well done you! i know it sounds silly but walking around asda today i felt...

OMG!!!! I've been up since 5am and am feeling pretty damm good hehe!! I know most of you have early starts to the day but since the birth of my daughter i wake at 8am and am drained by 7pm! Am very very surprised...woah what is going on in those packs ;)!?!! I was gutted though..doing the weekly...

Aaaw hey how could you be a slob if your playing with your princess AFTER doing your jobs missy!! Don't be so hard on yourself babe. Do what you have to do today but enjoy your day with your baby..get the wii out and work it out.. you'll both love it. My lil man is 20 months and omg he turns...

Hi doingthisfor me... what happened to u on facebook missy?? I was actually thinking of doing sw after this diet..but i still have a box of Alli, so might try healthy eating and use them for a while...who know's might even brave the gym??!! Or even use the cross runner which i spent £200 on and...

Ok so i woke up at 5am, to pee AGAIN!!!! I ended up taking co codimol and ibuprofen for a seriously sore throat... i just couldn't go back into snooze mode so got up and ironed..yesss ironed! I put a dvd on (the back up plan - Jlo) and ironed away...tummy was rumbling away like it was shouting...

Aaaw thanks for that Shanny, I read Awaken Me's thread and was pretty amazed, infact it was her posts that motivated me that bit further..she is amazing! Am desperate to see pics though! You look great in your picture!! I'd be happy to look like that :) Lancsgirl, i don't do the ss+..my cdc...

My cdc said i could have them now...i'm only on day 2..but a few ppl have said it's week 3..do ask her if you can xx

Hugs hon... i hope you wake up feeling better..remember it was only ham...could have been worse xx

OMG!!! My periods are already messed up, extremely heave and VERY painful!! Not looking forward to those hormones!

Well done hon xx

Oooh fantastic..thank you i'll have a look into that...who'd a thought diet shakes could be so exciting?!!?

in it to win it..when you say you are going off certain shakes etc.. is it cause they become boring? Eeek i get bored very easily and found myself buying more of the usual..i really hope i dont go off it xx

Shrinker that sounds lush!! I'm not too keen on vanilla but they way you make it sounds nice..i might give it a try. When you put ice in the shakes, do they not make you hungry quicker?? I have it in my head that the thicker they are the more filling??1 I had the banana shake and was very...

My day 2 too.. was very hungry late evening ended up coming to bed and now can't get offline hehe. I hope u resisted temptation and managed to sleep... xx

Do you think my goal weight is unrealistic??

Aaaarrrgh..that is my biggest fear maintaining it! This might sound daft but i am very scared of never eating junk again! Of course i know i have to change my whole diet once i reach my goal but seriously...could i still binge?? Once a week?? Lol Have you been on the diet since may then?? Wow...

Thank you great things. I have decided to fill up bottles on a morning and drink a pint an hour in the day so by evening i'm not rushing to the bathroom..even worse waking up and not being able to sleep again. My CDC explained the whole reason to drink the water and if i don't drink i don't...

Just wanted to send hugs about the job... and good on you for picking yourself up... it's a scary thought that we could feel so positive about things and bad news can mess it all up..I personally think you did well to get back into it! i don't know how I'd have coped. xx

So if i had a cambridge breakki and lunch and a grilled chicken or something along those line..does that mean i wont gain???? I am so confused!! I just looked at your stats we both started at the same weight start..how long have you been on it?? Tell me all hehe xx

Aah thanks RaeRae Yes i will be weighed every monday. I was tempted to buy some scales but advised not to! Am very shocked at the weight loss already... if i am strict with this diet i could soon be in those size 12's!!?!! See when i look at it that way i become all army sergeanty' and tell...

Thanks for asking RaeRae. I had a bit of a rubbish night last night...peeing every hour or so..and when i went to pee at 5am, i was wide awake!grr! Am struggling so much with the water drinking part :( I had a strawberry shake, mmm, very yummy indeed, this morning, followed by a veg soup for...

Thanks hon. Am hoping my bladder does get used to it.... xxx

The cappuccino shake, hot....Yummmmmmmmmmmmy!!! Still hungry though :(

Sarah Louise thank you for that..yesss it defo helps!! Am shocked about the woman who died story...god i'd never have thought drinking water would be dangerous!! I have only had 3 pints today but will take a pint up to bed and challenge to drink it everytime i wake to pee,lol. xxx

Well today is day 1 of my CD! I ended up a tad drunk last night, after downming nearly three bottles of wine, i woke up at 8am, late for the school run but grateful for my lovely hubby getting up to sort little en out. I went back to bed with a dreadful hangover. Anyway, i woke up at...

Can you still loose the weight if you don't drink the water?? Felix thank god it's not just me!! :)

OMG!!!!!!!!!! Really??!! Now that is scary!! That's a good idea actually, i'll fill the bottles up as of 2mrw. I know this is personal lol but do you need to pee all night??

:o 3 weeks?? thats not fair lol!! They sound yummy!! Mmmmm am drooling already

I wasn't given the choice of any bars... do you have them as a kinda sbnack or as one of the three 'meals'?

I just had chicken n mushroom soup, it was actually very nice!! I expected it to have chunks of mushroom which it didn't. I think i might have a hot shake tonight :) oooh the options hehe

I was told to go for grilled chicken... had a similar problem which in a way de motivated me..my dad's indian birthday meal..all i kept thinking was i couldn't sit there and not eat so my cdc suggested a piece of chicken... sadly ended up breaking the diet :( Good luck hon.. Hope u get the job...

Just wondering.... does anyone have any favourites? I'm loving the choc shakes AND the maple peacan porridge. Wasn't too keen on the oriental soup :sigh: am going to try differnt flavours of shakes in the next few days but am scared to try new things..Am very picky.

Just wondering if anyone else struggles with drinking 4 pints of water??! I just find it difficult, the last time i did the CD i was up all night needing to pee...spoke to my cdc who suggested i drink it before 7pm, but I was still peeing all night! I'm not much of a drinker anyway... A really...

Oh no!!!! Could you not speak to your gp? Obv depends on the reason but maybe he/she could help in some other way?

Ooooh can't wait to see the latest pictures... every time i see a picture or read a positive post it gives that extra bit of hop!! You look amazing!! Plus you have the pretty face too...go work it!! :)

Thanks Mrs T.. I do agree about the Gastic band... not only am i terrified of any kind of surgery but after reading some insprirational stories I am feeling confident and amazed... although i wouldn't mind a tummy tuck, a boob lift....the list is endless hehe but the band wouldn't even be...

Thanks ladies! I've just read Awaken me's thread, took me an hour but WOW!!!! HOW AMAZING!! Sadly can't yet view photo's as i've not posted '50' times..but i cant wait to see hehe. 2 days before the diet starts...eeeeeeek...better start munching away now hehe xx

Thanks ladies!! I went to bed last night with that negative feeling again...tbh i never actually realised how easily someone's words can demotivate me. After speaking to a friend who recently had a gastric band fitted, she told me how she struggled with cd and that was it...i just thought 'oh...
