Exactly, it's in the right direction :) well done! X

First weigh in this morning and unbelievably I have lost 6.4lb!!! Totally gobsmacked as I have eaten sooo much (although within points obv) :) good luck everyone, hope the positive vibes reach some of you! X

12st 2.2lbs is my start weight. First wi tomorrow fingers crossed I have crept back in to the 11s!

Soup (can be 0pp or a little higher) and 2 slices of ww bread (2pp, toast for 'croutons') followed by fruit salad (0pp) and sometimes a babybel lite (1pp) is a favourite of mine! The whole lot for 3pp leaves plenty for dinner!!

Aww it can feel like that sometimes (speaks the veteran of hundreds of diet attempts) but as my old Cwp counsellor said once 'you haven't failed because you are still trying' chin up lovely, try and focus on the bigger (or should that be smaller) picture x

Hello everyone, mind if I join? First weigh in this week... Last weds I was at the heaviest I have ever been :(

Just to wake up in the morning and not immediately think 'I must lose weight' To put on the strapless bridesmaids dress my friend has chosen for me to wear at her wedding without wishing I could have a cardi over the top to cover my arms To feel confident enough to deliberately let my...

Hey, just popped in to say hello! Sounds like you are doing well, stick with it and wait for that lovely ketosis to kick in! I'm off to have a nice icy tetra yum! Xx

Hmmm, is the caffeine do you think or Just the sweet fizziness? Obvious test to do would be to switch to caffeine free which should at least get rid of the jitters! I am struggling this week, had unplanned weekend of and struggling to get back on the wagon xxxx

Hello! How's it going?

Words cannot describe how happy I am to find out baby bel lites are only 1pp :)

Awww hum dont get down. Have you 'been' today? Due totm? Lots of reasons that it could be. I know how you feel though, it is so frustrating. Maybe even something as simple as you are retaining extra water.

Well done ladies! Can I hear it for ...... - 2.2lbs?!!! The .2 is important because that's what takes me back into my healthy bmi. Only just but I'm there for the first time in 6 months!!!!lol

Me too. I liked the old system better but only because my treats were lower in points haha! You've done so well. I hope to lose about 20lbs this time. When I think of it as 2lbs a week it seems doable but inevitably I plateau and get disheartened. Do you?

Cambridge is much faster , I lost 13 lbs in two weeks. I did it to give my weightloss a boost, which it did. The average loss for people who do it for a long time is a stone a month. It's doable, but very restrictive. I've been on and off ww since I was 19 (tend to come back to lose weight...

Just. WOW! How long have you been doing it?!

Hi everyone! Can i join in? I am doing ww online and only started Monday but planning to make Friday my WI day. Have lost 1st on another diet since jan but switching back to ww as it really is the best way for me!!

Hehe I'm embarrassed to admit that I get scares of eating them! It takes so little for me to gain and because generally I feel so full after my 29, it seem strange to be eating more! Especially as I have just switched from Cambridge weight plan where I was just having liquids!!! Argh! I hate...

* Colin?! Who is Colin?! I meant come in. Lol

In some ways I'd say that if your body is telling you you are full listen to it! Don't force yourself to eat! Obv they prob wouldn't recommend you Colin under points every day but every now and again... Re the losses... I have done ww a few times in the past and although sometimes the losses...

Yummy! Sounds like a lovely day! Well done. I had 2 eggs scrambled (4pp) Smoked salmon (3pp) English muffin (2pp) Ww choc roll (2pp) Covent garden tomato and basil soup (2pp) Banana 0pp Steak grilled (9pp) Salad (0pp) Parmesan (2pp) Ww pud (2pp) Used A few weeklies as I had a biccie and...

Maybe if you can try eating a bigger breakfast. Snacking urges can get worse if you have a mid morning 'slump'. Same with lunch, pack in that protein!! Having said that, my worst picking time is the evening. I have to try an keep my hands occupied.

Hehe, I'm the same with sweet stuff. I find it helps to a) not buy the choc (sounds obvious but i automatically reach for something I plan to have as a treat later in the week and eat it in the car on the way home) and b) switch to lighter options like the ww branded things. I have a Tin in the...

Nooooo don't be disappointed! Thats fab! It will slow down a bit but stick with it! Xx

More of a toot perhaps

Hello! Had a sushi slip last night but back on it now. Trouble is I got paid yesterday (last pay check from the job I just left) and they've messed it up so once bills etc are paid I don't have £50 a week left. Not sure what to do :( might have to stop for a while and just try and stay low carb

Can I beep? I had a sushi related incident last night but was perfect otherwise!

Sorry ladies, should have thought of that! Gross though eh?! No wonder everyone reports sparkling skin etc after the therapist has shifted half a cow out your bottom :) still debating whether to go for the old hose/posterior combo....

Woohoooooo! Well done! How does that feel?! (apart from lighter?!)

Have your pack/ bar before hand to take the edge off your hunger maybe? That's where I came unstuck last time. I had intentions of eating just chicken and veg, got there ravenous and fell face first in to a pie. Not a good look.

I heard from somewhere that a guy had it done and a bit of meat came out.... He had been a vegetarian for 7 years!!!!

That's a great loss! Yes some people do more but it is quite possible that you weren't carrying as much water weight. Well done!! Xx

Good luck! Dont forget to let us know how you get on! Xx

Is it uncomfy? Im intrigued but a bit scared to go! Literally

Wowee! I bet you have done fabulously, if you have been 100% then you can't not lose loads! Make sure you write to tell us how you got on. Why not plan the massage as a treat for your first stone?! They won't just be wobbling your fat around silly! Besides, why save things like that until you...

Oo err actually going to have one of my treats today for losing my first 7lbs... Going for a manicure with one of my friends. I've never had one before! A manicure that is ;) Tell me lovely ladies what are you doing today? xx

How's it going today love? Sending you positive vibes to void those chips!!!

Very excited for all these honks. I would like to add an additional honk for the fact that my previously buried collar bones have made a reappearance.woohoo!!!.

Good plan! My boyfriend is very supportive, and the dog eats his leftovers. Pretty hungry right now though, however... I have news... My collar bones are back!! I just noticed. Might seem a really small thing but my loss is finally starting to show. Yay!! I don't mean sticky outy-boney, just...

Can we get a honk from you?????!!!

How rude!! Well you can just feel smug about all the damage she is doing. Even if she is slim all that grease will be going to her arteries. Eeeeew

Awww. Hopefully one day that will be me! Does it make it harder because you have to cook for the kids? I do cook for my other half sometimes but recently he has taken to making a huge pot of something and eating it for the rest of the week! Weekends are a nightmare for me to be honest! In the...

Are we allowed to honk today??? I hope so because I have been looking forward to writing HONK!!!!! :)

A three year old hey, bet you are kept on your toes! I can't wait to have kids but probably should grow up first haha! Monday is WI for me. Hoping for a good loss this week to catch up and get back on track. I'm hoping to have lost another stone by valentines (not sure whether that's too...

Ummm, lbs I think....there is something about seeing a lower weight on the scales which perks me up! Although in some ways it would make more sense to want the inches?! Can I have both?! Lol

Well done on avoiding the emotional eating!! One thing I do every time I manage to resist that particular urge is to remind myself that not only am Moving further towards weight loss, I am also avoiding the usual GAIN and post binge shame... Breaking those horrible habits which got me overweight...

I'm not sure my organs would squish down enough to have a 22 inch waist!

I know! It doesn't feel quick at the time but suddenly it's nearly a month since I started. Had very sad and upset evening last night. Think it was a mixture of feeling fed up because none of the agencies I am registered with have work for me and also that horrid getting in to keto bit...

Happy birthday beautiful lady! May all your wishes come true and your shakes be more filling than normal hehe! Don't beat yourself up for having a good old rant, you needed it. Raising a glass of bubbles (well, carbonated water) for you on your special day xxxxx

I don't know if I have enough time in the day to work at it like she does!!! But I spend a lot of time staring at it in fascination when she's on.

Have you seen fatfighters?! That's on tonight I think, well worth a watch. There is a lady on there whose stomach is just amazing, perfectly flat and toned but not muscly. Well jel haha! It's on one of the digital channels

Hehe, me too. It only takes a split second for the 'sod it' moment to kick in doesn't it? I gave myself the 'it's just chicken and veg' (ie fajitas) excuse too lol! Learnt from it though, have even swapped lunch with the OH's grandparents to a coffee. Also seeing friends on saturday evening and...

Hehe, good idea! Im glad to say....HONK!!!!!

I'm all about the dry shampoo if I'm having a lazy/ rush to work type day. Works a treat!

Lovely lists! I have had to refer to mine after my 'off piste' weekend... Where I accidentally got off- pi**d. Alcohol is the devil, before I knew it I had eaten a burger and ice cream. Note to all you ladies who read that and are now fancying some food... I felt awful after. Totally not worth...

Ah, that doesn't make sense unless you saw the other thread, thought it was all on this one!! I and a few others made some statements about what we felt positive about, kind of motivational statements. Do you have any? Xx

Hehe, yay for positive. Speaking of Which, let's see your 'positive list'!! Xx

Hmmm, pound on, but could have been worse. Going to bust that bad boy off in the next few days. Not going to get down and obsessed about it, just going to set next weeks goal. If I can get more than a 2lbs loss next Monday I will have lost a stone :) see... Being positive!

That's amazing!!! Well done you. That's the first stone off isn't it?! Feeling v motivated today, and weirdly physically much better for just having a shake instead of ridiculous amounts of food. Was thinking about not WI today and just collecting the products, but think it would be better to...

Aww thanks ladies. Am trying to be positive. On the plus side I have realised that stuffing my face no longer makes me feel happy, just sick. That's progress I think! Going to have to face getting backing to ketosis though. Booo How were your weekends? Xx

Hello!! I admit it, I have been hiding, I didn't just fall off the wagon, I destroyed it. Back to it tomorrow, ss 100% I feel disgusting! Dreading WI tomorrow :(. The stupid thing was I was doing well, then had a drink and.... Oh dear. Well done on the loss, fab!! You don't sound as if you...

Bluegirl (on another thread) has done a fabulous 'positive' list about what she feels good about. I am shamelessly stealing the idea and would love to hear you positive thoughts too. 1) I am feeling positive that I have lost over 1/3 of the weight I want to lose and may even reassess my goal...

Love love love your positive list... It has inspired me to think up my own! Good luck today...what an amazing change already! Xxx

Thanks! We can both stay strong together. May be on here later to call in support lol! Xx

Well done for getting back on track!! Maybe sit near the left overs with the washing up liquid.. Squirt a bit on them After the kids are done! I might have to adopt some strategies tomorrow night as one of my girlfriends is visiting and we usually get a takeaway :( going to be a struggle! Any...

Nooooo don't miss the packs! I'm sure you will have done really well though, its amazing that youve been 100% all week! I'm finding it hard to have three products and a small meal AND milk. Feels like way too much. Which is ridiculous given the amount I used to pack in lol!

Yay!!! I am Mixed. Yesterday I went (little bit, not loads) off plan. We are not allowed to talk about food so can't say what I had lol but needless to say worried even a little thing might put my loss back. However, back 100% on track again today. And I have been asked to be a bridesmaid...

How we doing ladies? Just sat drinking my water and wondering what you are all up to! Xx

Ooo good one, I was Wondering this. Also, can we take tablets to get rid of water retention? I bought some herbal ones because some days I feel really bloated, then chickened out of taking them.

Hiya, well done on your loss, brilliant! May seem like an obvious question but had you had your shake when you were feeling this? Could you have been too hot? Stood up too quick? Done too much exercise? (pregnant?!). I've heard all of these explanations on here! There are Lots of possible...

I love losing the extra cheek podge! Well done!

Hope not! Survived my lunch date no worries. It was weird, on the way back I was feeling a bit guilty (as I usually cheat on diets when I'm out) then I remembered that actually I had stayed on track and was just automatically feeling guilty. Weird! Wonder what other things/ thoughts I...

Thanks spangles. I did think that, so going to stick to chicken etc most of the time. Saving steak for an extra special treat

Hahahahha! That just made me laugh so much. I just realised that I haven't trumped for ages either! Lol!

-6lbs, fab fab fab!!!! :)

Glad you feel better :) I'm good today thanks. Venturing out for my first social event since starting. It's only lunch with one of my girlfriends but fraught with carb- ish hazards! Not actually hungry (thanks keto) so now I'm on 810 I can have a large latte (milk allowance plus coffee is free)...

* oo er minimins is a bit prudish, I didn't even use the f-word there! Crikey. Lol

Personally I prefer it when my OH has some extra squashy. More to grab hold of ;) no one wants to **** a deck chair! Hehe!

Aww lovely. It is bloody frustrating. The kicker for me (not sure if is the same for you?) is that when I feel down I use food to cheer myself up... Can't do that now and if what you are feeling about is sad because of lack of food well... What's a girl to do?! I have had several evenings like...

Uh oh. I know there is something in mini eggs that is addictive. I swear I can taste the difference between the different colours too! Percy pigs are my downfall. I have to take the long route past m&s at the station because of them!! Never mind, today is a fresh day lovely! Erm i realised...

Awww spangles, that made me chuckle and feel sad for you at the same time. Try not to start prodding and poking yourself, you aren't a bloody sofa you are a gorgeous girl who has lost a substantial amount of weight in a relatively short time. Your skin might take a while to catch up is all. Plus...

Awww honey, that's not pathetic, we all have down days. Is it the diet or something else? Sending you a hug :) Are you able to have the bars yet? They give the definite 'chew' factor xx

Hope so Beth, it's rubbish being bunged up x

Thankyou, well chuffed! AND got the ok to go to 810, so had lovely little (very) lean steak and salad for dinner. trouble is, I had planned little treats for every stone, but nearly at the first one and can't blooming afford it! Ah well, my clothes fit better, that makes me happy! Can't wait to...

*lb

Another 6pm down!! :)

Urgh, I don't even like the smell of redbush. Some people i know love it though! I just came back from sainsburys, torture isn't it! WI tonight for me. I'm going to ask to go up a step so I can have a small meal to add in, been feeling faint etc even with all water etc so hopefully that will...

2 dulcolax do the trick overnight. It's potent stuff though, I mean, there is literally nothing left afterwards!! My advice would be don't take it in the daytime if you can't bolt for the loo in good time.

Hehe :) thank god it's not just me!! Thinking about it, I know iron supplements can have that effect so maybe it could be the vitamins and stuff in the products? Maybe.

RW where are you?! How's it going?

Erm I hope you lovely ladies don't mind me changing the subject a little... I don't know who else to ask... Has anyone else notices that their poo has gone a different colour? This is since I started with the bars. Was wondering if this is normal? Everything has gone much darker and I'm a bit...

Today is my second WI, I have been 100% ss+ with two small home-cooked chicken breasts over the weekend. Still nervous though ....

Yay!!!!! Well done! :)

That doesn't sound silly, it sounds like a perfectly normal worry! We all know we shouldn't compare ourselves to other women but i have yet to meet a woman who doesn't do it!!! You'll look fab though, just keep picturing your confident walk down the aisle on the day to stay motivated!

Wow! 6lbs is a great loss! X

Well I've just been sticking to the three products and sone milk so today is the first day I've had solids. It was fine actually, really enjoyed it, feel satisfied! I think tbh it was harder if it was more 'tasty'. Like if I was allowed a little bit of cheese i'd want loads, but plain chicken...

Thanks! I just realise we are having two separate conversations on different threads haha! My OH, having spent months looking sideways at me every time I over ate (everyday) just offered to get me the chocolate tin!!! I think he is missing having Saturday evening treats with me. Both sweet and...

Wow! You can see such a difference! And looove that you are keeping you're amazing curves. I am apple shaped so when I lose my belly I'm straight up and down (except for boobs). Keep going, nearly there!! X

Don't be too hard on yourself, one biccie is hardly a bad day! (thinking of all the times I have eaten a whole pack at once!) but it's great you're straight back on it today. You're sooo lucky getting married, sounds lovely. Def the one event you want to feel super confident about x

Huge motivation there! Where are you getting married? Church do? X

Hehe, mmmm biscuit. How's it going today? I just chugged all my milk allowance at once...mind you 200ml is hardly a lot. Was just desperate! V hungry today :(

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has a special WI outfit. Id go naked if I could haha!!

Hehe! Me too! Just to be really mean to Myself I cooked banana bread for my boyfriends work lunches. The smell... Mmmmmmmm. Why do we do it to ourselves?!! Stupid carbs why do they have to be so yummy? But yes, keeping the first stone in mind. Hoping three weeks will do it? But my biggest goal...

Wooohoooo! Well done! How's does it feel?! Xxx

Hehe! I don't really see how scales can weigh you as less than you are?!! But in any case, you clearly felt amazing seeing that figure, use that as motivation I say!! Woohoo!

GOOD LUCK!!!!! make sure you post the result! Xx

I'm a Monday girl too! Kind of double edged, means you can't have a sneaky Bingey weekend and get away with it!!! I find it hard getting the water down me too. At the moment I am at home (desperately trying to find a job I should say as it's boooooring!) so I'm free to leap up and down to the...

Exactly. People believe what they want to believe hun. people can't seem to understand that it is actually ok to get by on very few calories if that is what works and if you are generally otherwise healthy. Ideally we would all learn 'self control' but unless you have experienced the horror of...

Hello! I have the same amount to lose! 6-8 weeks would be amazing. I lost 7lb my first week, hoping this week for at least 4 off. How are you finding it? Once I am in ketosis I find it fairly easy in terms of hunger. Trouble is I don't always eat because i'm hungry, I just really like food haha...

Oooo feeling very perky today. Is this the euphoria my CDC said would happen as part of ketosis I wonder? Yay! Although must make sure I don't start Internet shopping in this mood... I am meant to be being careful with money.

That has made me so angry on your behalf!! Having a little rant in my head about it. Hope you weren't too upset by it and saw their attitude as the ignorance and idiocy that it was. Grrrr xxx

Good plan! Love an early night. Apparently a good nights sleep boosts weight loss so everyone is a winner! Well done on the exercise too. I walked the dog earlier so I guess that counts. And got busy cleaning this afternoon too. Yay us!!! The bars weirdly i find not as satisfying, but maybe...

I like the sound of a CDC cookbook. What stage is it for? Obv not ss...

It's funny isn't it. Some days im really hungry too and other days fine. How are you doing now? just had my bar. It was nice but stuck to my teeth. Guess that makes it last longer lol! Erm ketosis for me is a funny metallic taste I think it's different for everyone

Hmmm some very good and tempting Options there. We have tickets for stand up in a few weeks so that's something to look forward to. Bowling is a good possibility although he hates it haha! Funnily enough Spangles tangfastic are my OHs favourite too. Will ponder. Thanks lovely ladies!! On a...

So today's write up. Erm yesterday I was foul. Foul headache, foul breath and foul mood. Even the dog was avoiding me! Stuck to plan 100% though and feel much better today so I assume in back in ketosis properly after my weekend lapse. I had a huge row with my OH last night (again, foul). I...

I love both! Choc orange is quite tangy, mint is a bit more subtle. Both are nice warm too. How's it going today? In fully back in ketosis after the weekend thank goodness. Makes life a lot easier, had to force myself to move from the sofa last night and talk about grumpy!

Amazing losses, wow! Xx

We all can!! If you want something badly enough anything is possible. I really feel for you and your IVF battle. It's sooooo guna be worth it in the end. In fact I can't think of anything more worth it that a Bambino!

Ooo haven't tried that one yet! Veg soup is nice. I got a bit caught up with thinking it tasted 'diety' but then pretended it was just a normal cup-a-soup and weirdly that did the trick! Just goes to show how much of it is in the mind.

Wow!!! Are you excited?! Xx

Hey spangles! Thank you for your post and your kind words. Reading back I realise I shouldn't be so negative ... It's not helpful (I'm prone to lurking Eeyore style under a cloud). I loved my degree and would happily go back to studying, but just left a job in which I was very unhappy and now...

Urgh. Feeling really down today. Just got a rejection for a job interview I had really high hopes for. I'm out of work at the Moment. It's really hard, especially when I graduated a year ago with a good degree. Kinda feel like that was a waste. Clinging to Cwp as It about the only thing I...

I'm with you on the not weighing at home. It's soooo tempting though! Good luck with the next few days, def let us know how you get on. One of my motivators is looking forward to posting a good loss at the end of a hungry week. I am currently FAMISHED ! Try to slow down my water intake by about...

* no having to force down shakes... Lol!

I would say that defiantly counts as exercise! I have been going mad doing housework hoping that it's going to add to the downward trend. When is your first WI? Can't be long now! And I know what you mean about looking forward to the shakes. Me too! I ordered my absolute favourites for this...

Good luck! It really is the best feeling! Let us know how you get on xx

Thanks! Have just dug out the lipsil as we speak! might 'treat' myself to painting my nails.... Non food based treat...

Hehe, I like to think the stress helped to shift the last pound! Thankyou! How hAs your day been? X

Sooo had my first WI and 7lbs off!!! I normally creep down the scales a pound at a time so this makes me very happy! Especially considering my slightly off-plan weekend. Just tucked in to my first bar... Love the malty chewy thing and didn't even feel remotely tempted by the stir fry my OH and...

Do whatever it takes for you to stick with it lovely! What do you do? As for me... 7lb off and one bmi point down too!!! :). Very happy especially after accidental chocolate binge (of Which we will not speak). Yay!!!!

Thanks RW! But nervous, will post later! How are you getting on? Xx

Yay!!! How exciting! Good luck. I have my first weigh in tomorrow. Bit nervous as having been fab all week I had a bit of an erm... Off plan weekend. Sigh. Straight back to it tomorrow! Keep us posted on here on how you are feeling about it all x

(being truthful sob sob) actually had a bit of a disaster over the weekend, ending by falling face first into the leftover Xmas chocolates. Dammit!!! BUT usually at his point I would think 'oh sod it' and give up, but instead I'm going to go straight back to plan tomorrow, and to weigh in and...

Hehe! Mine OH is just as honest... He was giving me a back massage and said 'you have lost weight babe, look, I can see my thumbs when I rub you now' . Hmph.

Loumou, maybe just start by contacting your local CDC - if you havent already. They will help you find a program that works for you. There are different stages, starting with just shakes up to shakes and a meal a day etc. Your CDC will be happy to talk you through it all and find the best one...

Oh no! I think I'm going to ask to switch to ss+ next week so I can officially have milk in my tea and coffee. Tbh this herbal thing is not hitting the spot! Just made choc tetra with ice. Yummy!!!!

Peppermint tea! Nice, and good for the dragon breath

Hello everyone, I'm a CD returner with 2.5 stone to lose to get to goal, so inspired by all the posts here! Bit worried about my wi tomorrow. Its week 1 for me - feeling great after day 3... Day three itself I felt like absolute death!!! I have been 100% all week but last Night I was at my...

I wish I liked green tea, it's supposed to be really goodfor you, I find it was too bitter though. Watch out having it before bed, it has caffeine in it x

Hello! Well done on getting through it, any news on your wi? I have mine tomorrow but bit anxious because I had a bit of a Blow out last night. It's was my brothers 21st and a family meal had been planned for ages so i couldnt not go. Had scallops for starter, a few nuts, steak and salad (ok and...

You sound really worried, don't be! Yes the first 3-4 days are hard but once you get past them it's pretty super easy - but only if you really Want to do it and you sound a but unsure. If you don't mind me asking, what made you choose Cwp? If it helps I used to get sooooo grumpy ad shaky if I...

Ooo btw, it Might sound obvious (if so sorry) but crush the ice in the blender first, then add the water, then the powder. If you stick it all in at once the ice tends not to break up x

Urgh, yeah i can't stand the porridge. I'm definitely a shakes girl. Looking forward to being able to have the bars too. Makes work and going out a bit easier. Day 5 for me today and i feel quite a lot less bloated. It's my brothers 21st bday meal today though. On the plus side in going to feel...

Good stuff. Are you going to weigh yourself sneakily as you go along? In tempted too but don't want to get ahead of myself. Or find that I've lost weight and so maybe feel I can sneak some food! Tut

Good thanks. I'm finally properly in ketosis so I'm not even slightly hungry! Had to make myself have my soup just now. See, it does get better!! Sorry to hear you didn't like the banana tetra, I don't either. Chocolate tetra however i could happily live off :) Yum. How have you done with the...

It's a bit powdery isn't it! Veg one is nice, I just had that. Did you mix it into a paste first? X

Hehe, me too!! I am fine all day until about 5 then I really really struggle, especially when my OH has his dinner. Suddenly salad has seemed more appealing than err before!! I usually don't fancy breakfast either... Trouble is that after the second day I woke up starving so have to have...

Hiya! Well done for starting, hope you are liking the shakes! I am on day four, did cwp last year and returning guilty with my xmas blubber! Like the others say, water is key and also to plan a few distractions. Spaces where meals used to be can seem really long! Mine are walking the dog...

Hello!! Don't worry, 200ml of milk with three meals I'm pretty sure is fine. Maybe drop your CDC a text if you are worried though? How are you finding it? I am on day four. Felt sooo terrible yesterday, starIn manically at the cheese in the fridge. Stayed strong though and feel great today xx

Hi everyone, I am in my first week of ss and doing ok but I really really cant stand not having milk in my coffee. It's skimmed and only a splash, I have two coffees a day. Bit worried this will affect my weight loss but not sure I could get through detox without it! What does everyone else do...

Hello! Weirdly you and I are (almost) exactly the same age and weight, I am 24 and 11.10 and I totally know what you mean about it not sounding much but looking terrible haha! My 13 chins would be happy to join your 12 on our journey down the pounds! My first day back is today, vanilla shake...

Hi Camille! Haha that made me chuckle. Bring it off indeed! Have woken up with a really sore throat this morning... Actually can't wait for a nice soothing icy breakfast shake. Going vanilla for the first one i think.

Hello! Just wanted to say inunderstand how you feel about not wanting to tell anyone. Last time I did this i got a huge lecture from a work colleague (who FYI was a self confessed size 6 who wasn't able to gain weight no matter how much she ate hmph!) but if you are doing this for yourself and...

Hi shell! As far as I can tell (I'm fairly new to it too) buddying up is when a couple of people who are at similar stages sort of team up to cheer eachother on when the going gets tough. Fancy it? Well done on your loss last time, I only lasted a few weeks then changed jobs and had to stop. My...

Hello everyone! Nice to see a thread like this, makes it seem less scary to be coming back! I'm a bit sad to have to be returning to Cwp after piling the weight I lost last year back on over the winter but in a weird way am looking forward to it too! Day one tomorrow. Anyone at a similar stage...

Dont give up Hun!! I find my loss slows if I have lots of carbs. Even if I keep within the same points, more seems to come off If I stop having pasta and restrict bread/ rice etc to once a day. Might be worth a try x

Week done Hun!!! See no need to be nervous, that's a fantastic loss. Keep up the good work xx

Oh, ps goal weight is 9 st ideally, under ten realistically. Right now I'd settle for just shifting even a pound! Grrrr

South of France is fantastic. I love the pace of life there everything is just so chilled. Plus it us ok to drink wine at lunchtime!you'll have a lovely time. Dw about how far you've got to go with your weight, the important thing is that you are on track to do something about it! How has it...

Lol! Thankyou everyone! Believe it or not that has actually worked to keep me on track. Having had a huge meal yesterday my stomach is clamouring for more and my workmates kept saying 'oh go on, you've got to eat! ' there are jelly babies in the kitchen too. I have just gone and bought some...

Good luck today tano! I know wi is nerve racking but I bet you have a great result! Just don't cave after wi like I did this week and knock yourself out of ketosis! Duh

Haha! I don't know how you do it, I'm up ad down the stairs to the ladies every 5 minutes! I know a lot of people drink most if the water in the evenings. I have a long commute to and from work and have a deep seated hatred of train toilets so I end up drinking the lot in the office. Your body...

Ok ladies, had a fairly big hiccup today (a wagamamma sized hiccup to be precise). Tomorrow is another day and officially day one of 100 for me but......Please can I have some cheerleading as feeling quite guilty and down right now :( xxxx

Lol! Fattitude us officially my favourite new word! X

The bars are lovely, I actually struggle to finish them sometimes because they are filling! My favourite is the malt toffee one. It could (almost) be a mars bar. Mint choc crunch is yummy too. The only issue I seem to have with them is they bung me up a bit (sorry if tmi haha!) but a daily dose...

Well done you! Pizza is one of my favourites so I am doubly impressed that you resisted! Urgh, I really really loathe the porridges, I would literally rather go hungry! I had to swap 6 of mine for shakes in the first week. Luuurve vanilla and banana though. I confess I was a bit naughty and had...

Seriously, get painting those nails! Or if your not in to the girly stuff so much I know it sounds stupid but playing with a blob of blue tak helps keep my 'snack hand' occupied!

The south of France. We go every year with a group of friends, just sun, pool and lots of wine (and bread and cheese but let's not think about that!). It so relaxing usually, but last year I was at my heaviest and cried buckets the day before we left because I was so unhappy with my shape and...

Stay strong hun! There will be many more takeaways in the future don't forget, this is something you are doing in the short term for the long term gain. Try and imagine that it will taste horrible, or go and have a bath while he's eating it!

Hello cee! Dont be daft, you won't put on 10lbs! How exciting, my hol is ages away. Is it a sunshine and sand holiday? I'm so jealous! I think it's sensible to just stick to low carb before you go, means you won't go mad when you get there and won't dread coming back to 810! I'll be there with...

Hello everyone... Can i join you?! Massively inspired by this thread so have downloaded the app and start day one tomorrow! Hope there us room on the team for a little one? (well, metaphorically little) xx

Teehee, there is so much food porn on tv ATM. I even foundyself drooling at that 'crispy salad, crispy salad' advert. And on Saturday kitchen they wet cooking chocolate brownies... Go away bad food thoughts!

I have thought about watering them down too, but part of their appeal is the thickness (for me any way). That said, I take my tetras to work. The first one is fine for brekkie but the lunchtime one isn't enough really. Maybe I'll try it on Monday and report back....

Hey Hun, well done for sticking with it, you should be proud of yourself. Just get through the next day or so and it will be so much easier! I was so sleepy the first few days then all of a sudden hit ketosis and had loads of energy. Watch how you start cleaning out all the kitchen cupboards...

Just come on here to distract myself, having a bit of a weak moment after a day on my todd. I've done well all day , 3 shakes and 2 eggs scrambled with some smoked salmon. I don't think the salmon is allowed really but i fancied it so much and it was going past it's sell by so just had a little...

Haha, I was like that when I first started. I don't think you realise how much time you spend preparing and eating food until you Stop and then realise that there is a long old evening ahead of you without it. It's no bad thing to have a good clear out though... Make room for all those new...

Tell me about it. I'm avoiding an evening at a club tonight, more because I can't face the questions than anything. Plus there is nothing worse than being stone cold sober and watching everyone else get drunk and start acting stupidly. It's weird that when you are drunk too everything is...

It is so rubbish having to make so many excuses. Especially when people start to say 'oh it's just one day, live a little' which would be fine, but I'm assuming most of us here have a wee problem with the whole' only having a little bit just this once' side of things! Stick to your guns, one...

Haha! I'm totally with you on the lettuce front. I spent my whole life avoiding it (which let's face it is why I'm here now lol!) and now I'm lustfully eyeing up the little gems every time I'm in the supermarket! Weirdly I haven't craved any unhealthy food really, I just keep fantasising about...

God bless chocolate tetras! I have two a day and look forward to them so much lol! If only they lasted a little bit longer....

Oh Hun, I just want to give you a big hug! Hang in there, life is so worth living and although it may not seem like it sometimes (particularly with illness) there are always things you can do for yourself to help improve things... Even if what you improve is simply your outlook. I can't offer...

Keep it going Hun! A little trick use when I'm flagging ( particularly at the end of the day, when let's face it, you do begin to wonder exactly how many carbs are in one of the sofa cushions) is to say to myself 'yes I'm hungry and I want to eat that cake/ biscuit/block of cheese but I can...

Hello Lilly, I don't know why but your message made me cry (hormones anyone?!) but in a good way. It's lovely to have some reassurance, this forum is a total lifesaver. I think it's easy to panic when you stay the same, kind of a 'oh what's the point I'm stuck like this' sort of thing. but today...

Thanks cee, I've been having big doubts today wondering whether to switch to ww. I mean if im not losing just having v little maybe I would be better to swap to a diet where I can at least have fruit and veg... My skin has come out in the biggest break out, feel like a teenager! I'm going to...

Had WI yesterday...and still nothing!! I stayed the same. I don't get it. Even if my scales at home are different from my cdc's ones, I still saw a loss, even if the actual final weight varies. I think that maybe I just have to SS only...no 120g of chicken or milk in tea or anything. I felt...

Lol, thanks cee, I did ramble on a bit. My oh was out so looks like u swapped my usual pizza, crisps, choc binge for a word binge! You are right, we shouldn't let stuff like that get to us. I think from now on in going to keep quiet about the cd unless directly asked. Seems a shame to have to...

Hello everyone, how are we all? Thank you for your messages, I got ridiculously excited that people actually replied! I'm glad to find out that I'm not the only one who has this weird relationship with food/weight. Your advice is really helpful and makes sense...maybe my body is holding on...

So here I am, week three and starting to struggle so I thought I'd start a diary to try and keep me on track...I love reading everyone else's diaries on here and find it really inspirational, so here goes. I started CD after realising that a year after uni I was still eating like a student...

Hi everyone, I've been taking peeks at all your posts for a couple of weeks but only just got the guts to join myself! I am in week 3 of SS and doing ok so far...I love how supportive it is on here, you always seem to help each other so hopefully you'll be able to help me! Any other new starters...
