Thank you for the welcome ladies. I am looking forward to starting. Determinedlady, they say that the first time is the golden time so make the most of it. This will be my 3rd restart but i am in a better frame of mind this time. Cant face another summer feeling fat and uncomfortable. Today is...

Good Morning, I am starting my diary in the hope to keep me motivated and on the straight and narrow. On Monday 2nd Apr i shall be starting Exante working solutions diet. I have previously done it and lost a lot of weight but gained back a few stones (not all the weight, but a fair bit). I...

cross post. wrong thread sorry

Hi Jo, thanks for the welcome :) So, my background is pretty common amongst other dieters i suppose. As previously posted i dont have a whole heap of weight to lose. A couple of stones would be nice. I sit at 12st 1lb at the moment and would ideally like to get to 10 st. I have tried a...

Good afternoon folks, I thought I would share with you my experience of my hypno gastric band therapy. For those of you who don't know it is a proceedure using hypnosis which makes you believe you have had a gastric band fitted. Repeated attempts at diets have left me unsuccessful and a...

Hi, i started Slimming World last Thursday 20th May and have kept my own food log. So thought i would log on here too....i did SW about 10 years ago when i was just the Green and Red days and had good success. This is my first week and so far have had all EE days. Have found it really simple...

Hey all:), Just thought i'd update you. I called the Lipotrim helpline and was told that i can start the diet as little as 6 weeks post birth as long as i didn't have birth complications ie, c-section etc and am not breast feeding. Hope this might help anyone else who was wondering the same as me.

Thank you. I hope to be joining you all soon then xx

after pregnancy can you start Lipotrim? I am due in december and feeling so fat and fed up! Is there a certain amount of time post birth you need to leave it before embarking on Lipotrim? Thanks

Thank you everyone for your lovely replies...i'm so excited to be having this baby. I'll check in every now and then to see how you are all doing. Good luck everyone! By the way if anyone is in need of any ketosix, i've virtually got a whole pot which i only bought last week. Let me know and...

As i'm PREGNANT :) I did a test last night and sure enough im pg, so did another one just to check....i don't think you can get two false positives.:) I hopped on the scales this morning and i've lost 5lb since monday so was doing pretty well. I'm so happy to be pregnant again....the timing...

Because i'm PREGNANT :) I did a test last night and sure enough im pg, so did another one just to check....i don't think you can get two false positives.:) I hopped on the scales this morning and i've lost 5lb since monday so was doing pretty well. I'm so happy to be pregnant again....the...

Thanks for the replies...yesterday i had a cup of tea with skimmed milk in it but don't think i will be doing it again...at least not daily anyway...just wanted to check :) Pickle XX

??? My CDC said that a couple of cups a day with skimmed milk won't knock you out of ketosis or slow weightloss down. Is this wrong advice?

Hi Rooster, your story sounds just like mine. I put on over 5 stones with my pregnancy. Now i am restarting having lost about 2 stones with CD at the end of last year. Yesterday was day 3 for me too and last night i was really fed up and spoiling for an argument with DH because he hid the scales...

Well here i am on day three....still pleased to say that i am sticking to the plan 100%, i do find drinking 4 litres of water a day a bit hard but i am managing 3 litres which can't be a bad thing. Tested for ketones this morning and it is showing as pink...or 4 symbols from the left on the...

Thank you D_Q :) Day two for me and feeling a bit run down today.....had a really busy morning so didn't even feel hungry til about 2pm but i feel really tired and cold today....i suppose thats a good thing as i could be entering ketosis. Anyway i am going to have an early night and...

Thank you D_Q :)

Hi D_Q Would you mind moving my diary to the diary section? http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/8081-restarting-day-1-a.html Thank you XX

You look amazing...very well done :)

I think i know how you feel.....i've spent most of my life overweight...there were times when i got down to 10 stones and i would look back at old photos and cringe at how fat i looked...well now i'm back to square one again (having already lost a fair bit) and when a picture is taken of me i...

Restarting....Day 1 Well i have just restarted and am on day 1. So far so good but boy did i feel exhausted earlier on today...think it was because i took my baby for a long walk in his pram when i should have just waited to get into ketosis first. I've changed CDC due to a house move and i...

I've been trying to restart since the new year, having lost the weight in November but i keep slipping up at weekends and getting really depressed about it. So i've took a week out to rethink what i really want. And i really want to lose the rest of this weight and not to become complacent. In...

Oh Noooo , I've been using it daily :eek: I used to use Listerine strips but they are so hard to find now :( .

I've got an underactive thyroid too....i haven't had to change my dosage in the past, mind you i'm terrible for not having regular blood tests so i really don't know for sure whether you need to adjust your medication I'm restarting CD on monday but have managed to lose over two stones in very...

I use Corsodyl which is a really strong mouthwash. My hubby tells me by breath no longer smells like the dogs bottom. Nice!!

Amazing weight loss. Well done!!! Keep going....you will be there in no time.

My brother lost 5 stones on this diet for his wedding. I couldn't believe how handsome he looked. That's why i started it too. C'mon fellas give it a go x

Hi DQ, where is the diary section hun?

Thank you to everyone who replied. I've had a good long chat with hubby and he is going to support me 100%, even be firm with me if he thinks i'm cracking. We have both agreed to plan our weekends better so that we are not at loose ends when it would be easy to think 'sod the diet'. I'm going to...

Thanks DQ :) , i know i need to stay positive and i will definitely try. Thing is, once im on CD i really don't mind it at all...i still cook hubby his meals and even take more pride over them when i'm doing CD and never even feel tempted to tuck in. I definately need to talk this through with...

Hi everyone, I did CD a few months ago and succesfully lost about 2 stones with a few slip ups along the way. I restarted 3 weeks ago and have no problem getting into ketosis but always of a weekend i seem to fail....no matter how much i tell myself i will stick to it all logic goes out of the...

I'm going to have my christmas dinner and boxing day dinner and hopefully get back on track the day after. There's no way i could resist a lovely big famly get together with turkey and all the trimmings!! I admire anyone who will ss over christmas though.

Thanks for the advice guys!!

Well, the second week i found a little bit harder than the first. I'm sure my motivation isn't waining as i did not contemplate even once cheating but i did find it a little hard cooking my hubby's meals. :confused: But then i just scrolled though some honeymoon pictures when i was at my...

Great post!! Well done. You must be really pleased.

I agree, i definately don't think it was meant to cause offense to anyone. It seems a shame that it was picked up in that way when her post seemed very genuine, to me anyway. Keep posting, i hope you manage to get yourself out of that 'dark place' very soon. This site is so supportive and i...

WOW!! What an amazing inspirtion you are. It's no coincidence that in the the first pics you look unhappy but in the last pics you look beaming. Well done!! You must be thrilled.

I've just completed my first week and found i have lost 10 pounds. I'm sooooooo happy, i've stuck to it 100% and have been drinking 4 litres of water a day. Not finding it hard at all now, i'm so glad i found this diet.

Just checking my ticker is working

Well yesterday was my first complete day. I have to say i did not find it too bad at all.....i was a bit worried as i have been reading that some of the shakes are quite sickly but i actually didn't mind them at all. The chicken and mushroom soup was ok. Was awoken at 5am with a headache so i...

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragment. It really means a lot to me. I put on all of my weight during my pregnancy and i realise it's not just going to 'drop off'. I look forward to being able to choose my clothes again instead of clothes choosing me because nothing else will fit. I...

:) Hi there, This is my 1st day on CD. I have 5 stone to lose :( I've been reading these boards and felt so inspired by you all. I'm sure i'll have lots of questions along my journey and i hope i can seek your advice. Anyway, i'm off to drink some more water. Pickle x
