It said my true weight was 8st 0, I'm 9st 5 now so nearly a stone and a half to lose.. Did attack for an extra day but it didn' work clearly.. I'm doing a PV day today but so scared as ppl say the scales go up and i'll end up more than I started!!

Right I'm drinking 2L water, iv not had anything smoked or any yoghurt at all the last 2 days. Yesterday I'd lost 2lb but today I've put on 1lb :( So in 5 days of attack I've lost a grand total of 1lb Should I give up? Will this diet just not work for me? I'm so upset :'( I have massive...

Had the WORST day ever yesterday, started off great until my OH had to work late and wasn't going to be home until 10pm, I don't know why but something just said 'well I ca eat what I want then who's going to know?' I started off with some quorn, fine, hadn't quite had full amount by then...

it's great!! I love that it's only 20 minutes each time (although I would die after anymore lol!) get it :D

Woooo congratulations carla 'i;m happy in my own skin' That is just the most awesome thing to say - i cannot wait until that day - the relief that you must feel! What does it feel like?? I bet you are just so happy all the time? Welll done you have been amazing, please carry on posting even...

ooh I just love coming down in the morning and seeing '8stone... something' on the scales :D time to step up to level 3 of the 30 day shred here I go guys!!

wohooo lost 2lbs :) happy with that!!

Hey!! I think the hardest thing ever is trying to please your family, they are by far the people who influence me, and i'm sure most people, most too. There is no better feeling than making your family prous but no worse feeling than them thinking you are a failure :( This week has been so...

wow nat how on earth have you got your stomach so flat! Please share your secret :) everyone's done so well xx

no 810 :)

I'm currently doing the 30 day shred but wondering what I can do alongside this and after I finish? I'm 14 days in and love it just wondered if anyone has found any other really good dvds? I like the fact that it's only 20 mins a time so dvds in short bursts would be good Has anyone tried...

You've done so well, I will be really interested to see how you go from now as I'm hoping to follow in your foot steps :) I have really enjoyed your diary and hope it continues :) xx

Thank you so much for your words, I had a long chat with my CDC this week and realised that actually, my parents being so small and teasing and mocking bigger people is probably one of the main reasons I have such an issue with my body and with food. It was great to talk about it, feels like a...

woohoooo so the theories really work then lily! your fat cells must have 'released' their precious water begrudgingly :D Thank you for your post on my diary, really cheered me up :)

As usual a wonderful article that I live to read Lily :D

How are you feeling today Lily? My cold is disappearing :D hope yours is too xx

Had a good and bad morning, had an exam which went very well but went to see my parents and my dad got their scales out - I was about 5 pounds more on their scales, he then did my BMI which was about 24.8 according to their scales and then made lots of comments that I wasn't doing very well and...

Well what a difference a stone and a half makes! This is me (actually after dieting but before my CDC start) I was approx a stone and a half heavier than in the second picture which was at a wedding on saturday :) u.. too embarrassed to show full body ones just yet - l had such a round face not...

10 inches!! oh my goodness! that is inctedible congrratultions :)

How many of you thought you had a 'naturally round face' - me me me all my life, but looking at a pic now (in my diary if anyone wants to see) it's actually not that round anymore! Hopefully by goal i will no longer have a 'round shaped face' more like a heart shape or something :D

awww i have a cold too lily! we can't even have lemsips :( and i'm smack bang in the middle of my exams which is making it a hundred times worse, I've had 2 today and got 1 tomorrow - i've had some tofu today (with a tiny bit of chopped toms, I know not strictly on the list but i'm rule...

Just lookin through old pics - I had such a round face! Keeping me motivated :)

loove the muffin!!! :):)

Feeling poo today! Got a virus or something making me all achy and fuzzy :( My CDC has said to go up to the 1000 plan but I'm so unwilling after my loss on Friday - I think I'll see how it goes for now!

Ahh yes I love productive days, I get so much done! TThose scales will move lily! Apparently the average weight gain for totm is 4 pounds so you never know you may have actually LOST 4 pounds it's just that damn water retention showing on the scales :)

If I were you I'd add up how much your food costs at the moment, include EVERYTHING such as buying juice bottles/coke/other drinks when out, the odd snack whilst out and about can cost £5+, then if you have a takeaway/eat out every week or every other week you're looking at an extra £20 at...

There's a long post somewhere about water retention in week 3, lots of people have small losses or don't lose at all! I didn't lose at all last week but lost 4 and a half pounds this week. Don't give up!! It will come off next week if you stick to it :)

Hi Guys, Going to a wedding tomorrow and there is to be a hog roast, I'm doing SS+ so can have some protein just wondering if anyone has been to one before and can tell me if there'll be something I can eat? Not too worried if not as I'll take a bar

About £40 - £45 per week on SS depending on individual CDCs prices

Woohooo 4 and a half pounds down! Think I may stick to CD for a bit longer with those losses!!

My CDC said to stick to vodka with zero calorie mixers - but it might make you very sick!!

I look alot bigger, like pineapplehead (feel sill calling you that lol!) I am only 5ft ish and have huge boobs! So even though I'm in the 9 stones I still look overweight and feel it, which is why I want to drop to such a low weight as altho my BMI will only be around 20 at ideal weight, I think...

Thank you for the tips!! I'm going to see what my weigh in is like (would very much like it to hurry up as I'm starving!!!) and then probably do another week or two, I'd probably follow the allowed foods for the 810 and 1000 plan to start with before I movd fully on to weight watchers.. We'll...

Right well had an awfully stressful week last week, ate quite alot of things I shouldn't but managed to stay the same weight which is a plus!! It's weigh in day today and I'm hoping my hard work has paid off this week I really really hope it has :D Thinking I might switch to weight watchers soon...

Lily I love your diary! The passage about the woman not eating enough makes sooo much sense to me - the amount of times in my life I have shouted and screamed at the scales, at my boyfriend and at the mirror 'I'm starving myself and I'm STILL not losing weight what the hell is it going to TAKE!'...

ahh I really need to join a gym - you may have just inspired me to do so! Have been doing the 30 day shred for 6 days now - I feel great with that - I'd like to start swimming too! Anyone know how much exercise affects weight loss? I seem to remember someone saying it didn't make a difference...

wow! Congrats!! bet you feel amazing and so proud to have such amazing willpower!!

Maybe try a higher cal step like 1000 to start with? Good Luck with whatever you decide xx

My OH always likes a cake and I usually bake one weekly but I just can' control myself from eating the mixture so I can't bake cakes just at the moment! The price he will have to pay to have a slim g/f lol!

congrats :)

Oh hun, just think how fantastic you will feel the next morning when you didn't eat that mcdonalds!! Maybe try a bar? The choc mint ones are gorgeous, if you cut it up into pieces you can 'snack' during the day it's like having bits of chocolate I love it! Also, you can have black tea :) with...

Congratulations!! You're doing so well I love hearing your stories :)

congrats on your weight loss - it's fantastic :)

It's like reading about me :) and you have about the same amount to lose as me too Last week I didn't lose any at all, although I wasn't 100% Are you still SSing? Because you should be on a higher plan now due to your BMI It may be the case that your body has actually lost it's excess fat...

I absolutely love the choc mint ones but have to say they do make you want to eat :( I have one a day tho and see them as my chocolate fix!!

£1.85 for shakes and £2.05 for bars and tetras :)

Looking brighter :) I've lost 3 pounds this week (own weigh in tho) but feel so much better I'm IN A HEALTHY BMI RANGE WOOHOOO!!!! Haven't been 'healthy' for years people are beginning to notice I will stay on track!!

Thank you! I really really struggle and like you feel hungry all the time - I'm trying to live with it - you have motivated me! I do struggle to stay 100%, I eat crumbs, etc I lick things :( it's just so unhealthy!!! I mean why would I do that? I'm literally obsessed with food Do you think...

wow - congrats :)

Well, had a really awful week - it's only my second and I lost just 1 pound :( lost 6 inches overall but hardly anything I feel compared to everyone else's amazing losses

Aghh I'm really struggling - had such a bad day today and yesterday - keep having 'tastes and tastes turn into more tastes and aghh just not been onit at all. Was sooo ravenous this morning which makes me think my tastes kicked me out of ketosis and so i started well with a tetra, but the by...

Thanks lily :) Well I had a revelation today - i don't know the last time that I actually TASTED food, made a meal of chicken and celery today for SS+ and sat dwn, took 20 mins to eat it with no distractions - this is how i'm going to eat allll my meals!! It tasted soo good! And I knew exactly...

Hows the peppermint tea working?? Must grt some today - do you just get it from a supermarket?

Yaay well done!! i'm thinking about getting scales... hmm or should i just wait every week to be weighed - i don't know what's best! Good Luck for the rest of your first week gemma xx

Good luck on your CD journey i'm sure you'll see a great difference in May :D xx

Glad you've decided - that's one of the hardest parts!! Good Luck for Friday :)

wow! congratulations your weight loss is amazing :)

Not happened to me yet but from what others have said it may effect it this week but the extra loss will show next week :)

That's fantastic!! I'm going to try exercise too, but went on a bike ride yesterday and it nearly killed me. y OH was so shocked as used to be fine - I just snapped and shouted 'well what do u expect when I haven;t eaten for a week' - oops! I think we'll both be glad when My diets finished...

My headaches went after 2 days - they were awful! OH got in a right hump with me because I was so moody - oops :) Hope you feel better get some neurofen down xx

Oh noo! My brother recently brought an iphone, it fell out his pocket whilst he was dropping his friend off, he didn't realise until he got in his car, reversed and 'Cruuuuunch' Bye bye iphone!!

Umm suffering a bit with my bowels (sorry TMI!!) but sticking to it, had a tetra this morning and just had a small poached egg for lunch - going to make some spinach and celery soup in a bit! Can you use vegetable stock anyone know? Hopefully it will be ok, I'll just use one cube and make a big...

I went to work for a lady I haven't seen for 6 months - she said to me 'you've filled out haven't you? - you're face, you're body is chubby yes?' (she's taiwanese) umm yes.. thanks for that... then I got home and before telling my OH he was talking about when we got together, he said to me 'so...

I'm going to get my belly button pierced! Have always wanted it done but never ever had a stomach good enough to show - hopefully with CD I'll finally be able to have a belly button I'll want to draw attention to! Here's hoping :innocent0001:

wow! You look amazing congratulations :)

I'm such a picker too, that;s why weight watchers and all other diets just don't work for me. I have no control if I know I can eat 'anything in moderation'. I pick and pick until more than just one slice of cake has gone. CD I hope will help me not to do that! I'm exactly the same that I seem...

First weigh in tonight lost 6lbs, not great but my CDC said it's average for my weight :) Its spurred me to stay on track, hoping for at least half again next week. Going onto SS+ so hopefully will help me to keep on track whilst not feeling guilty about eating Trying to learn to only eat when...

I hate the porridge too! Endured 7 mornings of it and then my CDC said I could have swapped it lol oops I'm going to my first weigh in tonight - it's quite exciting! Good luck with your first week - having just completed it all I can say is stay strong! It's tough!

Ok well having read everybody's diaries I am inspired to start my own - mainly because today I'm really struggling and I desperately want to get back on track. I have 2 and a half stone that I want to lose - I know this is not a huge amount compared to others but my main goal is to stop...

Congrats! that's fantastic in a week! :)

Congratulations that's amazing!! And... you most definitely can say you do have willpower now!! xx

Ahh don't do it! Well unless you want to feel like an absolute FAILURE and feel sick/guilty/sad etc etc etc I've found it sooo hard today (day 7!) made the most delicious carrot soup with feta cheese for OH and had quite a few tea spoons :( couldn't resist really hope I haven't messed up my...

How long have you been on CD before people have actually notied and commented on weight loss? How much had you lost before it was commented on? Really think once people start it will spur me on!

thank you! really need motivating now but had a family photo the other day and my mum has just shown it to me - i look awful! I'm going to look at it now everytime I want food!

Ahh that makes me feel so much better thanks :) won't be missing any shakes then :) Just looked in the cupboard and only 5 more products until my first 7 days are complete! And before weigh in eek

I was under the impression you don't feel hungry at all whilst in ketosis - have just finished day 5 and still feel really hungry! Does this mean i'm not there yet? Haven't had any headaches or anything since first 2 days but still feel pretty starving!

Well this is only my first week but my CDC said I could do a mixture of SS and SS+ if I wanted - had a few prawns on Wednesday and yesterday had a bit of chicken - but also ate quite a few sticks of celery! Before realising 1) I had no idea if celery was even allowed and 2) that I'd eaten more...

yes! that would be great!! my e-mail address is [email protected]

I want a buddy!! someone I can text etc - anyone strarting today who wants a similar thing?

Do you tell friends and family about the diet? Are they supportive? Noone but my OH knows yet but i think i'll have to tell them at some point

Do you have to have decaf coffee? Does it not affect weight loss?

I've been given 4 bars but this is my very first week - i read that you arent supposed to have them until week 3 - is this right?

My main area I'd like to lose from is my bust! Is currently 40" How much have you lost from your chests? More than other areas?

Ok I'm a newbie - just got my packs from my CDC yesterday. Just tucked into the porridge (of which I have 7 packs!) and was not impressed! Really had to struggle to eat it Can you add more water than it says? Whats the best way to make it up? Thanks in advance!!
