    We're going down to the beach tomorrow. There's an airshow in Dawlish so we're hoping to see most of that from Teignmouth Pier.

    Hi Cheeky I think I remember your name from when I was doing this last time round on CWP! I lost over 10 stone then but put 7 back on over 5 years, mainly over the last 2 years. I tried to get back on it for my wedding in 2010 but just couldn't get my head into it. This time, I'm as focused as...

But, we've lots of hills to get up and down so I really have to shift this weight. I put 7 stone back on...

    Struggling

    I started back 4 weeks ago. I've gone to a new counsellor for various reasons - but mainly as I felt that the lady who saw me through the loss of 10stone a couple of years back was not supportive, she had never weighed me, and never checked on me if I didn't call her. I never did any maintenance...

As an older bride, (60 next month) I'm having trouble finding a dress that looks good on me, but also, I'm reluctant to order yet, despite the dress shops saying they need 5 months, as I have no idea what size I'll be!

    Wedding rings?

    I've had to take off all my rings as they were falling off and I was scared of losing them. I was also wearing my husband's wedding ring and taking that off has been the worst in many ways as that still kept him close to me. All part of moving on I suppose! I still have about 3 stone to go to...

    6 DAYS OF SS THEN A DAY OFF???

    I agree with the others. Once you are into ketosis, with determination and will power, its not difficult to stick to SS - and then the weight comes off quickly. That in turn makes you more determined, so you stick to it again! If you came out of ketosis for the sake of eating on a Sunday, you'd...

    Question to those that have lost weight on CD

    Stick to it 100% and you'll easily lost over 3 stone in 3 months. I've lost over 9 stone in 10 months - and I've just come back from a holiday in Florida when I only put on 4lbs! One of the secrets is to keep drinking the water - it helps to stave off hunger and gives you a good detox which...

    Really Fed Up!

    Well, I've been doing this amazing diet now for 25 weeks. In that time I've lost 6st 12lbs - and I'm so pleased about it as I feel so much better and know I'm looking good. Since Ken died in June, the weight has slowed right down and I've been losing about 1.5 - 2lbs a week, despite being 100%...

    Thanks everybody for your encouragement. And, yes, Missf, Ken would be very proud! I have a text from him taken just before he died telling me how good I was looking. I treasure that!

    builion? how much??

    I find it very helpful to have bouillon when I get the munchies - it takes the edge of the appetite which is never hunger! I can then wait for the next shake time without any danger of looking for something to eat! I do like it strong though!

    A recipe idea I got from SW for a kind of mousse using quark. Put a pot of quark in a large mixing bowl. Make a jelly using quarter of a pint of water and water flavouring. Leave it to cool. Slowly, stirring all the time, add the liquid jelly to the quark. Leave to set. Its delicious!

    CURIOUS ?

    Come on now! You are all doing really well! Think how slowly you would be losing the weight on other diets. I have my old SW book and it took me 23 weeks to lose what I have lost in 10 weeks on this diet! Then refocus on why you are doing the diet in the first place. That will help to bring back...

    Good News, Bad News

    Thanks everyone! I feel much better that I was able to see Ken tonight. He has had his big toe and the ball of the foot amputated as there was no blood flow through it and it had effectively died. He had it done with a spinal block so he was able to chat tonight, which helped me. Foot...

    AAMW

    I'm on my second AAM week at the moment. Last time, I lost 2lbs during AAM but then 6lbs the following week - and my weight losses after that were pretty good too! I enjoy it but i am always glad to get back on to SS. x

    Latest pictures of the twins - as requested!

    All my children were born in Hertford - two at the County Hospital and one at home! (But that was in the 70's!) The twins parents live in Bishops Stortford so it isn't too far to travel every day - although Cambridge was easier with the M11! x

    Latest pictures of the twins - as requested!

    They were born at The Rosie at Cambridge and then, as they were doing so well, they were moved to NICU at Stevenage. They are obviously taking after their Grandma in their choice of bedding - I wouldn't be without my waterbed!!! I suppose I could rent them out - but the cost would be...

    More good news this evening! Due to their excellent progress, Martha and Jago may be moved out of their incubators on Monday and into warm cots - they have a heated water mattress! I can see them coming home long before their due date if they continue like this!! x

    All the best for the 10th Annie. You won't regret it! The relief at knowing that you can't get the pain again is so wonderful! If they do it keyhole, you will be out the following day and raring to go!! I'm sure your OH will let us know how you are doing but want you to know that we will be...

    Filled with fear and trepidation

    You will be fine. Have your first shake as late in the day as you can so you don't end up with an evening with nothing, keep drinking the water, keep busy so you don't have time to think about being hungry - and once you see the weight falling off, that will be your inspiration! I too have...
