Well its been a crappy week. I should have been having my first weigh in today. Instead I've just booked in for another blood test next tues so hopefully my blood counts back up and the doctor will sign me off to start. I'm going out tonight, I'm dreading it. We going to a club, all my...

Thanks :) am sure I'll be fine! Have been so far. Hopefully my count will increase quickly. But the diet isnt worth the risk at the moment.

I've just got back from the doctors. Bad news all round. At 16 I was diagnosed with a condition called ITP (low platelets) it just means I bruise easily. I had some horrific brusing a couple of weeks ago so I got a blood test on Friday. At the doctors today I asked for the results and for him...

Hey good luck. I'm restarting on Friday this week (if the doctor will sign the form tonight). I'm heavier then you and I know exactly what you mean about becoming a recluse. I used to be happy, bubbly and outgoing. Now I'm insecure unhappy and reclusive. I need to succeed this time as well :)...

I just got a call from my doctor, the doctor I wanted to see isn't avaliable. So I have to see another doctor, who I don't particularly like. Now dreading the doctors even more :(

Well done for getting back on it :) hows it going now? Remember one day at a time!

I definately meant to get on before now! On Friday I was horribly sick (probably the alcohol from Thursday), which on the brightside meant that I barely ate. On Sat me and the bf got up at 4 and drove down to cornwall. We got there for 8am, we picked up my sister and my nephew and turned around...

Thanks guys :-) Cornish that's great you have everything! I'm jealous ur already on the journey. I have got myself a bit drunk in my last supper before the great carb cut! Tomorrow I'm heading down to looe to get my sister and my nephew and I will have to resist the pastys! Last thing I need...

Would be nice to start together :) but don't delay just for me :p My plan is: Tomorrow and weekend no more then one portion of carbs per day (aka, small portion pasta OR 2 slices wholemeal bread). From Monday: No carbs at all. Thurs: SS 100% eek!

I am :) Its a shame I can't start now! I couldn't get a doctors appointment until Monday and then the CDC wasn't avaliable until Thurs. Tempted to get some slimfast from Tesco but also just cutting down on carbs and mental preperation for the next 7 days should be a step in the right direction!

LOL! Ditto. I haven't quite grasped the concept that if its daily or hourly it doesn't count as a treat! Its just my eating habits.

Haha I just want to see the 17s at first! :) My downfall is when people say to me "oh you've done so well, you have to have a break sometimes, go on once night isn't going to hurt" And I think "no no, I can't" but all to easily I give in and agree yes I DO deserve a treat I have been so good...

Me too babe, I've tried and failed loads of times. I'm starting CD for the 3rd time next week. Start it with me. We can spur eachother on. We can do it this time. I'm usually perfect for 2 weeks then fall off the wagon and never get back on. I'm scared too but I have to try :) Lets take it...

Ok Goals... (too early)? Goal Weight 10st 7lbs Loss needed 8st 8lbs If I average about a stone a month, that will be January ish. My birthday is 4th Feb. Goal Date 4 Feb 2011 My bf said if I manage it he will take me somewhere nice :) Mini Goals: Be in the 18s (should be fairly quick!) Lose...

Still avidly reading everyones diaries and getting myself motivated. Unfortunately that motivation hasn't spilled over into actually cutting down carbs in preperation for starting CD next week, but I will tomorrow it will be exactly 7 days until Day 1 so thats a good starting point I think...

I have 9.5 stone to lose. I was refered for surgery but denied because I'm not diabetic. It was really really hard emotionally going through the fear, deciding to do it then being knocked back. I start Cambridge next Fri, I'll keep checking in on you and we can do it together :)

I've been glued to this thread all day. Lauren you really are inspiring. It sounds like you've been through the mill a bit and I'm sorry for all the downs but you seem very very strong and I'm glad things have been looking up! I'm starting next week and you've given me loads of motivation...

Well done! 5lbs is fantastic :) Are you doing any rewards for yourself? I like the idea of a Pandora Bracelet and buying a charm for every 7lbs. Great reminder how far you have come everytime you look down. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, either the bracelet or just put money aside for new clothes

Well, here I am back at the start again. Except this time the finish line is alot further away. I first went on a VLCD at 17, I was 13st 14 and after 4 months I was 11st 4. Now at 25 i'm tipping the scales at over 19st. I've gained over 8st in 7 years. In these 7 years I've started Cambridge...
