    OT: Meet Bobby!

    My parents just brought this home for me today (my dad wants my car so they bought me another): Her name is Bobby Millicent Beetle (I have a bad habit of giving my cars awful names!), and she's amazing :D Was just so excited I wanted to share with someone!

    Do you weight yourself daily?

    In the first week, couple of weeks it's a fab motivator- if you're sticking to the diet 100% then the pounds drop off, sometimes even through the day. My scales got stuck in the fourth week however, so I made a conscious effort to stop. I found myself dying for the next time I could jump on the...

    Did you have a 'last supper'? (Just for fun!)

    Nope. I figured it was pointless in having the big greasy plate of fish and chips that I wanted, because I'd just end up with more weight to lose!

    Does this sound awful!!

    To be perfectly honest I'm looking forward to compliments from random men the most...I absolutely adore my boyfriend but for once I'd like men to notice me like women notice him! Wanting compliments is normal, I think we all do secretly

    two and a half weeks of ss and my engagement ring doesnt fit!

    Congrats :D My engagement ring is loose, but not at the falling off stage yet (my sister's gone the other way- she has pre-eclampsia and I had to make her up a ribbon necklace the other day to keep her rings on until she can fit into them again). I have noticed that when i stretch my fingers out...

    What keeps you on the dieting wagon?

    I know exactly how you feel SW! have you noticed people looking at you more? I know I have! I used to feel really odd being with my boyfriend, he's slim, muscly and rather fit (also gorgeous if I do say so myself!) and when I was 17 stone I used to undermine our relationship. Now I'm 14 stone I...

    the fat jokes have started again

    I know exactly what you mean. My fiance's best friend and housemate is 21 stone, and always levels fat jokes at me. I got tired of it and started making fat jokes at him and he couldn't take it, he soon got tired of it then!

    Dived off the wagon

    You can start again tomorrow, and it shouldn't take too long to get back into ketosis. Don't beat yourself up over it, just look at it as a learning experience and move on. Maybe write down the way you feel and when your demons are about again read it and remember why you don't want to fold?

    What keeps you on the dieting wagon?

    A few things keep most of me on the wagon (occasionally a foot slips off, like at the weekend with a bag of crisps when i hadnt managed to have any of my packs before 5pm!). I have a gorgeous pair of lacy french knickers with a ribbon bow at the back, and they're a size 14. occasionally i hold...

    What triggered you to start?

    I'd wanted to diet for forever, as I've been getting steadily heavier since I was about 12. I was pretty complacent about it, my boyfriend loved me, all that, so I cheated. Constantly. But then my work uniform started to get tight (and I've never been able to do the bottom button up on the...

    Cystitis

    I suffered from cystitis constantly for a year, and irritable bladder (as a result of fibromyalgia) for the last two years, with intermittent bouts of cystitis. I know how horrid it is and how awful you feel at the moment, but just keep on chugging that water... best way I've found to get rid of...

    Excess skin?

    I was worried about this too but I found that while I got some deep red stretch marks on my stomach (and stretch marks I already had got red again) they've faded pretty rapidly.

    Should I be getting more from my CDC?

    Personally I get hour long appointments with my CDC...he was great in my first meeting and gave me a real understanding of what the diet was all about. He's never made me feel like he doesn't have enough time for me, quite the opposite in fact. If I were you, I'd make a point of sitting and...

    Question?

    does anyone build up static?

    Definitely something to do with the atmosphere or something...my fiance keeps giving the cats static shocks... And I went to comfort him when his motorbike fell over the over day and zapped his face quite badly!

    What are you looking forward to most?

    Looking forward to going into a certain clothes shop in Yarmouth and having them not sneer and make rude comments about my size like they normally do (then loudly stating that it's all cheap tat and I wouldn't be seen dead in it!) Not being ashamed of my clothes size, and being able to buy sexy...

    Things we do to be 'THIN'

    My jeans used to be (well still are because I still wear them) bigger than my mother. Admittedly she is quite short, but you could hide her behind them! I used to make sure I ate chips whilst walking because the calories don't count then :P I don't really see why...we were all embarrassed by...

    Week 8 and craving

    I had the exact same thing...and I caved. I was so disappointed in myself, and the food didn't even taste good. My boyfriend, bless him, tried to get me to think of it as a 'treat' but I refused...that implies I did something good. If you can, just get your head down and think about buying...

    wedding dress

    Definitely go elsewhere... My sister got married at the end of last year, and I was at the biggest I've been. When my bridesmaid's dress was ordered, they didn't measure me. And ordered a size 18 dress. When I saw it I knew it would be too small and it was- I couldn't get the zip done up at...

    Setting Goals!?!

    I don't set myself weekly goals, but my first goal was to lose a stone, then the second was to get under 220 lbs, the third to get under 100KG (broke both of those in the same weigh in :)). My current goal is to finish getting the second stone off. The goals need to be big enough to make you...

    CDC help needed!

    Hi, I'm halfway through week 3, and suffering from the usual (lovely) constipation. I have the fibre, but I also have irritable bowel syndrome. The fibre seems to be too concentrated or something, because no matter how little I put in my water, I'm left in a lot of pain and discomfort...
