Katie's Diary : 5 & 1/2 stone to lose! Firstly, I just want to say that I think you are really brave for sharing this with us. I have no experience of what you have been through and can't even imagine how you feel. It is easy for other people to say because they are not you but don't keep...

Have you considered doing SS+ while you are on holiday? That's the way I approached it and it enabled me to have a meal with my family of an evening. ?

Hello everyone. How is everyone doing? I have had my WI and week 10 I've lost 1.5lbs. I'm pleased with my loss as I have had a tough week with it being my daughters 3rd birthday and having meals out etc. Anyway, this week is a new week and I am determined to keep going xx

Whoa!!! That's incredible! You look fantastic!! Enjoy your weekend xx :-)

My CWPC has said that Salmon is allowed once a week. The only reason it's not on the list is because you shouldn't have it all the time so you should be fine as a one off. Hope this helps :-)

Thank you Rachel xx

Hi All. How is everyone doing? Another WI for me and another 5 1/4lbs off. Really pleased after staying the same last week. I have lost 3 stone in 9 weeks! I'm over the moon and for the 1st time can picture myself at target :-)

No, I haven't tried the vegetable flavouring. I'll ask my CWP on Tuesday about getting some. Thank you Hun. I like peppermint tea too but haven't got any in at the moment xx

Thanks Rachel. The weather makes it really difficult to drink a lot of water I find. At least that's another day done :-) xxx

Thanks hun. I'm just taking it a day at a time and a WI at a time. Finding today difficult as we are snowed in and it's so cold I am craving comfort food. I've stuck to it though and hopefully we will be able to get out and about in the next couple of days :-) xx

Well done :-)

I think that I want to lose at least 8 stone. I want to try and get into the 'normal' bmi range. I think I have accepted that I might not always have good weeks but I think what is different this time is I don't let that put me off. I stayed the same last week and so far this week I have been...

Whoa!! Well done Rachel. That is fantastic. You are a real inspiration and I look forward to following the rest of your journey. Hopefully, one day I will be saying that I'm as close to my goal as you are now. Vicky xxx

Thanks Rachel. I'm just putting this week behind me and focusing on the week ahead. How are you doing? Vicky xx

Hi Everyone I have just had my week 8 WI and I have stayed the same! I'm hoping its due to it being TOTM. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a good week and a good loss next week. How is everyone else getting on? Xx :-)

Well done :-)

My CDC said to always have your 3 products to make sure you have all the nutrients you need and to encourage fat burning. I hope this helps :-)

Hey Rachel. You have got the right attitude. Just put it behind you and move forward. You will definitely get 5lb off this week. Xx :-)

Thank you RWroe. I think the big test on this plan is if you can have a tough week and pick yourself up from it. You doing really well. Let me know how you get on tomorrow. I'm sure you will be fine xx

Whoa! Well done. That is brilliant x

Hi All. I've just had my 7th week WI and I have lost 5lb. That is a total of 2 stone 8lb. I am really pleased with my weight loss so far and I have proved to myself that even after a not so good week, I can get back on track. I hope everyone else is doing well xx. :-)

Well done RWroe. Xx I'm doing ok. I have been on SS since Tuesday so hoping for a big loss this week. I Get weighed on Tuesday morning, so fingers crossed xxx

Good luck for your WI tomorrow. I think the key to this plan is to definitely not let one off week out you off your stride. Let me know how you get on, and remember you can and will do this. I believe in you :-) xx

Whoa! You have done brilliantly. Well done and keep going. You will reach your goal in no time xx :-)

Hey RWroe. Thank you so much for you response. :-) This week has been going much better so far. I have SS for the past 3 days. I hope your week improves and just remember we all struggle and you will always find support on here. Good luck xx :-)

Hello Aimee. Good luck on your CWP journey. The 1st few days are the hardest but once you are in ketosis things get a lot better. I'll look forward to following your progress xx :-)

3lb is still good. It's nearly half of half a stone ? I'm sticking to SS this week and hoping for a big loss. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Xx

Well after a really difficult week, I have only lost 1 and a 1/2lbs. I'm back on SS this week as I just can't trust myself doing SS+ Anyway, onward and downward (the weight) I hope everyone is doing well. X

I am getting on really well thank you. I have lost 2 stone 1 and a half lbs in 5 weeks. I have quite a bit to lose so the weight loss spurs me on xx

Hi Sian I have just read your diary and you are doing really well. It is so difficult to get back on to CWP when you have a blip but you are managing it. That shows how motivated you are. Keep up the good work and good luck for Friday :-)

Thank you :-)

Thank you xx

You will easily do that. You are doing so well x

Whoa! That is brilliant! Well done. You must be so pleased. I have lost 29lbs in 5 weeks. I look forward to following the rest of your journey as I think we will both be doing CWP for the same amount of time. Congratulations on your loss so far xx :-)

Congratulations on your loss. You are doing so well and are very inspirational. I look forward to following the rest of your journey ?

Lily, you are so right. It's best not to focus on the little things and look at the bigger picture. Thank you for your advice. Onward and upward xx

Hi I have struggled with drinking all the water last week. I usually drink 8 pints a day but was only managing 6. I have been weighed today and have lost 3lb where as previous weeks I have lost 5lbs. Not sure if its cos of having less water or just a coincidence xx

Hey Everyone. Another week done and another WI for me today. I have lost 3lbs. That is a total of 2 stone 1 and a half lbs in 5 weeks. I am really pleased and each WI spurs me on for the week ahead. How is everyone else doing? Xx

Hi Everyone How are we all doing? I have had a really good week. I have been sole sourcing this week and I have had 3 products and 8 pints of water a day. I have just been weighed and I have lost 5 and a half lbs! I am over the moon. The weight is really coming off and I feel like I am going...

I have spent the past few days preparing myself for a low weight loss this week as it is TOTM. I have been to see my consultant this morning and before weighing me told me to prepare myself for possibly putting on. Well, I have been weighed and I have lost 5lb!!! I can't believe it! I am over...

Thank you so much. I hope your cravings pass. I'll let you know on Tuesday. Xx

Thank you so much. Xxx It's nice to be able to get advice from someone that has been there and knows what it's like. I am going to keep myself busy and try and forget about it. Whatever happens at my WI on Tuesday I will just move onwards and upwards. I'm determined to stick to it till the...

Ok. Thank you x

Hi Everyone. I was just wondering how everyone gets through TOTM. I am having cravings for food and just checked my weight and have put 3lb on. My official WI isn't till Tuesday. Has anyone ever experienced a low weight loss or even worse putting on weight because of TOTM. I would love to hear...

Whoa.. You must have been really disciplined to do an Atkins style plan over Christmas. Well done. I have done CWP a couple of times, I tend to lose 4 stone come off plan and put it all back on so it annoys me as I end up proving all the people that say 'oh you'll only put it all back on again'...

Hi. Of course I don't mind you asking. I would like to lose 8-9 stone so I think mini goals are definitely the way to go xx

Whoa! That is amazing! Well done. Do you mind me asking how long it has taken you? You are very inspirational xx

You are welcome Hun. I'm currently doing SS but if I struggle any day then I do SS+. So far I am doing ok. I've lost 1 stone 2lb. It's a long road but we can all do it with the support of loved ones and on here too xxx

Hi. I am on day 17 and finding it ok. I have got a lot of weight to lose so I will be on here for a long time to come Well done on your loss so far. That's brilliant. Good luck xx

I am so sorry to hear that your 12 month old is so poorly. I hope that everything is going well. Well done you for starting CWP at what must be an extremely stressful and difficult time. 10lb in 4 days is amazing! Well done. Xx

Hi. You are doing really well. I get weighed on Tuesdays. I would like to buddy up too. I am finding it fine at the moment. I agree weekends are more difficult. I have done CWP a couple of times before but I have a weight that I get to and then stop for some reason! This time it will be...

Hey. How is everyone doing? I am on the 2nd day of week 3. So far I have lost 1 stone 2lbs and 10 inches!! I hope you are all doing well xxxx

Hi Vicky. Losing a stone in 4 weeks is good. This is a difficult plan to stick to so don't beat yourself up. You are taking steps to change things and that is a positive. Well done on your journey so far and keep going. You can do it Xx

I'm sure you will have done fine. Let me know how you get on and good luck xx

Thank you Theresa. It has really motivated me for this week. I think you need your WI to keep you going when things get a bit tough. Looking forward to hearing how you get on tomorrow. You are doing so well xx

Hi Carla. I'm finding it ok. Once you get over the initial few days and get into ketosis it's not to bad. I think it becomes difficult at times cos its such an anti social diet. So, you feel like you are facing temptation all the time. Good luck with your journey xx

Morning everyone. Just been for my 2nd WI only 6 days after my 1st and I have lost 5 1/2lb! That is a total of 1 stone 2lb in 2 weeks and 10 inches! I am over the moon. I had a bad day yesterday, questioning myself about doing this diet and was it the right thing for me and ended up eating...

Good luck for your WI tomorrow Xx

Thank you. Fingers crossed. Good luck xx

Thanks B. I am determined that this is the absolute last time that I put myself through this again! I have a weight that I get to every time and never seem to break past it! This time I am going to get there and smash past it! Please keep me up to date on how you get on too Xx

I'm hoping that I will be at goal or near enough once October comes. Just keep taking it week by week. You are so lucky to be on the final stretch - well done Xx

Thank you very much. I feel like I am in the swing of things now so hoping that I can continue with my routine. I haven't really got anything in the near future to look forward too, but my best friend is getting married in October and I would like to attend at least 1 event where my 1st though...

I have had my 1st WI today and I have lost 10lbs and 7 inches!! I am really pleased! I have only got 6 days till I get weighed again and I am hoping for 4lb so I have lost my 1st stone! How is everyone else getting on? Xx

Hi Everyone. I'm on day 7 today and I'm feeling really good. I feel like I have got in to a bit of a routine with the plan now. My 1st WI is tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it. How is everyone getting on? Xx

Hello Katie Good luck in your CWP journey. Your goal of 4 stone is very achievable by your holiday. I to am an emotional eater and I use food as a way of self harming. I will follow your diary and give you as much as support as possible so that you can reach your goal Xx

Thank you Theresa. I will definitely check your diary out as I love to read about other people's journeys. I'm on Day 5, so early days for me but like you I have the advantage of having done it before and knowing that it gets easier Xx

Hey Katie. You can totally do it! I have done it before and always get to a point when I wonder why I ever come off it as it becomes easier. Good luck and let me know how you are getting on xxx

Hi RWroe I have spent the afternoon reading your diary and you are a real inspiration. I'm currently on day 5. I have 3 shakes a day and try and have at least 8 pints of water. I'm looking forward to the day I can say I have been doing it for 100 days plus. My WI is on Wednesday. I have done...

Thank you. I will be sure to check out your diary and follow your progress too. Good Luck to you too X

I'm back!! Day 4 today and I have had my 3 shakes and 8 pints of water. I'm definitely in ketosis as I keep forgetting to have my shakes. Saturday is family takeaway night, I'm doing SS but I though so that I didn't feel like I was missing out I would have some chicken with them. I didn't eat a...

Yesterday was Day 2 and although I didn't feel great I managed to stick to just my 3 shakes. In the past I have done SS+ but have decided this time to stick to SS and having the 200 Cal meal to fall back on if I feel like its getting to much. I'm starting day 3 and I'm hoping that by tomorrow I...

My CDC has always said to make sure you have at least 3 shakes per day. Anything else is obviously down to the plan you are on and your hunger level. Hope this helps :-)

I have started CWP today. As I have done it before, I've decided to start a new diary as a fresh start. Fingers crossed for all of our weight losses ?

Hi Everyone I have started back on Cambridge again today. I have done this diet a couple of times and lost 3 - 4 stone each time. Unfortunately, something happens (like birthdays, holidays etc) and I come off Cambridge and end up putting on 2 - 3 stones. I have decided that this time I am...

Hi Everyone I am coming back to Cambridge after a long break and have 10+ to lose. I'm seeing my CDC on Friday. Can I please join this thread? Good luck to everyone that has already started and has stuck to it. I have previously done CWP and lost 4 stone, sadly I have put 3 back on but I am...

Thank you. It's difficult to know what to do for the best x

Hi Everyone Does anyone know if it is safe to do SS and be on antibiotics? Thank you x

Thank you for reading my diary :-) I'm not finding it bad at all. I seem to be in the zone this time and I'm really determined to get where I want to be. How are you getting on? Xxx

Thank you. I didn't think anyone looked at my diary really lol :-)

Thank you xx

I'm glad that I could help. I have lost 4 stone in 12 weeks if that helps. I know that you can do it and I'm here for you if you have any question or just need to talk xxx

I know it is easy for me to say but if you put it in perspective, it's just 3 - 5 days of suffering until you are back into ketosis and then the weight starts dropping off. Have you got much to lose? Good luck xxx

Hi. I take it week by week so I don't feel like it has dragged. I focus on the next WI so that it doesn't seem like a massive journey. My CD is on holiday now so don't get weighed till 21st August which will be my 1st challenge. I know I can stick to it though as I'm determined to reach my...

WI in this week and lost 6lb. I've now lost 4 stone 3lbs! Had a rough day today and ate a pitta bread and 3 little fairy cakes! Back on SS tomorrow xx

So, just back from my WI and I have put 3/4lb on! I really can't complain about that as I had a night off and had a big meal off plan. I know that next week I will have a good weight loss so I am focusing on that! I think I am back into ketosis now too so it's all good Hope everyone else is...

Today is my Birthday and my 1st planned evening off CD! Wish me luck :-) xxx

Congratulations, congratulations and congratulations! Xxx :-D

Sometimes social obligations are difficult but I always try to have something that is included on SS+. I managed to stick to CD while on holiday for a week. My weight loss that week was 2lb but when I think back to how much I would normally have gained, I was pleased with that. I have my 1st...

So are you xx

Thank you :-)

Well done :-)

Thank you xxx :-)

Hey Maggie. I do a mixture of SS and SS+ depending on what I have on that week. I'm 5'10 and still have another 8 stone to go. It's a lot to lose but when I think of how quickly I've lost so far I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for your message and good luck with your journey xx

Hi All. I hope everyone is ok and doing well :-) Had my week 10 WI today and I have lost 3lb this week. That is a total of 3 stone 11lb in 10 weeks. I've got a planned evening off for my Birthday on Friday but still hoping to lose a minimum of 3lb next week Hope you are all doing well xxx

Whoa! You are doing really well! How fantastic to think that you will be at target before Christmas! Well done you and keep up the excellent work. You are a true inspiration Xx :-)

You are doing amazingly well and are a true inspiration! Xxx :-)

Don't be miffed! You have done brilliantly and just think of your weight loss next week. I think we all worry about what will happen when we start eating again but we will all be nearly at target then so it won't feel so worrying (or at least that is what I'm hoping) xxx :-)

Thank you xx :-)

Well done xx

Thank you! Xx You too Xxx :-)

Thank you xxx Good Luck :-)

Thank you xxx

Well done to everyone on their weight losses!! X I'm just back from WI - I've lost 6lb!! I can't believe it! I love CD lol. I've now lost 3 stone 8lb! It's the longest I've ever stuck to CD and although I've still got a long way to go I can actually imagine getting there this time! :-D

I have just been for my WI and I have lost another 3lb. That takes me up to 3 stone 2lb in 9 weeks! I still have a long way to go :-)

I have just been for my WI and I have lost another 3lb. That takes me up to 3 stone 2lb in 9 weeks! I still have a long way to go but I feel like I have really got myself sorted this time and I'm in the right frame of mind to keep going until I reach target :-)

I have got about another 9 stone to go but trying to take it 1 stone at a time. Every time I have a wobble ( which hasn't been to often, luckily), I come on to minis and it really helps xx

I'm good ta. I'm doing well, 3 stone in 8 weeks, still got a long way to go but reading everyone's journeys really helps xx

Woah! Fantastic! You are a real inspiration to us all! Well done xxx

Hi Everyone. I hope you are all well. Can anyone recommend a good book to read? I've read PQ & 50 shades trilogy, looking for something new Thanks xxxx

Thank you xx

Well done to you too xxx

I've lost 2 stone 7lb so far! X

Today is day 50 for me! Can't believe I have done CD for 50 days already! :D

Thank you x :)

Ah, thank you x

Well done on the weight loss! You are doing brilliantly x

Thank you! I'm really proud of myself. It's made me realise that I am in a completely different frame of mind this time :-)

Thank you. We only went to Sandbanks for a week. I had mainly shakes and then on an evening had mainly chicken or fish with salad. I even had a glass of wine every now and again. Sometimes if I'd only had 2 shakes in the day I would have an evening meal and then a bar xxxx

Thank you. Had a lovely holiday thanks. Xx

Hi All. How is everyone getting on? I have just got back from my post holiday WI. I've lost 2lb! Usually I would be disappointed, but as I have stuck to CD and still had a lovely holiday I am really pleased. My track record is usually go on holiday, stop doing CD while on holiday and then not...

Thank you for letting me know so quickly x

Hi All. I'm doing SS+ and wondered if we are allowed a bit of mayo? I'm finding salads etc a bit dry. Thanks

Thank you xxx

Thank you x

Thank you xx

Brilliant! Well done :D

Hi All. Just back from my week 5 WI and I have lost 7lb! That is a total of 2st 4lb in 5 weeks :D I'm going on holiday on Saturday so that will be my big test. I plan to stick to CD while I'm away and just have a meal with my family of an evening. My CDC has been really good and explained to me...

Just back from my WI! I'm really pleased. Lost 7lb! Total of 2st 4lb in 5 weeks. :D

Good luck :)

Well done! That's amazing :)

Good luck for your WI today x

Fantastic!!! Well done you. I'll look forward to following you on your journey xx :)

Definitely :)

Hi Jane I have got 10 - 12 stone to lose and so far I have lost 1 stone 11lbs in 4 weeks Good luck with your journey and I will look forward to reading about your progress x

I think I will probably do SS+ for the week I'm away then I won't feel like I am missing out when we go out for meals etc. x :)

I would love to think like that but I know that if I stop doing CD then I will really struggle to get back on. I'm only going away for a week to Dorset so it's not like I'm abroad. Going to try and stick to CD as much as I can. I think if I had been doing CD for longer I might have considered it...

Morning All I have had a really good couple of days. Even though it's TOTM I have done SS for 2 days. Had some chicken last night but don't know why as I didn't really want it! I feel like I'm really in the zone with CD but as we all know that can change, fingers crossed it doesn't. My big test...

Thank you! Well done on your 9lb! That is brilliant!! X

3lb is good! Well done xxx

Thank you! At least I know it's not just me that is going through it and it's normal xxx

Time Of The Month xx

I am managing to distract myself too but just made my 2yr old some lunch and it's made me want to eat everything in the house lol

Hi All. Is it just me or does totm make you want to eat?? I'm on week 5 and have been doing well so far, but I just keep thinking about food today? Is that normal? Would love to know how everyone else feels/copes at totm xxx

Thank you xx

Thank you xx :)

Thank you xxx :D

Thank you xx

Thank you xx

Thank you xx

I have been for my weigh in this morning and I have lost 3lb! Initially I was a bit disappointed until my CD pointed out that I only need to lose another 3lb and I will have lost 2 stone in 5 weeks!! So I am going to change my way of thinking and be pleased with whatever I loss I have. At least...

Well done! That is fantastic!! X

I know exactly how you feel but CD is the only plan I know that gets that number reducing a lot each week :D

I wouldn't say no! They would though lol! Quite like Olly Murs too!! Ha, ha :D

Double whammy! Gerard Butler and Robbie! Yes please lol Xxx

So, its Sunny Sunday and I'm sitting in the garden getting some sun while my Hubby is in my 2 year olds paddling pool with her! I have decided that if I don't have a good WI tomorrow that I am just going to be more determined to have one next week! I haven't cheated at all this week (or since I...

You are so right! I am going to stop weighing myself! :)

Hi All I have been to work do haven't been on for awhile! I have still been doing SS+ and have stuck to it. I decide to weigh myself this morning just to see how I am doing and I have only lost 1lb in 5 days! I know it shouldn't worry me as I've lost 1 stone 8lb in the past 3 weeks but I just...

Brilliant! Thank you. I'll try that tomorrow xx :)

Choc tetra ice cream??? How do you do that? Do you just out the carton in the freezer? How long for? Sorry for all the questions but this is exciting lol :D

Well, for some reason I'm struggling today! Not sure why but seem to be counting down the hours until I can have my salad. I haven't done anything different today, and can't really say I feel hungry but keep thinking about food! Very strange! I have tried to keep busy and done loads of house...

I'm doing well thanks. Had my WI today which has really spurred me on. I have had my 3 shakes and just had chicken, bean-sprouts and green pepper stir fry! It was lovely How are you doing today? :)

Thank you :D

Whoa!!! Well done. That is brilliant. Keep up the good work :)

Aww thank you :D

That is brilliant! Well done. You should be really proud of yourself xxx

Hi all. Just wanted to report back on my diary how I got on at my 3rd WI. I lost 7lb!!!! That is a total of 1 stone 8lb in 3 weeks and 14" off different areas of my body! I'm soooo pleased! I feel like I am really on my way now and I know that I won't lose that much every week but I feel like I...

I have just come back from my CDC and not only did I not realise that we can have green peppers but bean sprouts too!!! Chicken stir fry her I come lol :D

That sounds lovely. I will definitely give that a try. Thank you :)

Just back from my 3rd WI and I've lost 7lb!!!!! I can't believe I have lost 1 stone 8lb in 3 weeks! I'm over the moon. I feel like I am really on my way now :D

This may sound harsh but as much as they want you to respect their culture, they should also respect your feelings. While tasting a tiny piece of cake may not seem a big deal to them, for you it could knock you out of ketosis and then you will have to go through a yukky time to get back there...

Hi Katie You are doing really well jumping straight back on CD after your little blip! I have a similar amount to loss as you, as you know from your comments on my diary I will be here with you every step of the way, as we all will Keep up the good work. I know you can do it! :) :) xxx

So, I went out yesterday with the girlies and couldn't have been more wrong about them. They could not praise me enough to sticking to my chicken and lettuce while they all ate pizza! It felt so lovely to know they all supported me. I think it helped that they could see how determined I am this...

Ahhh. Thank you. If I can inspire 1 other person I will be so pleased. It's lovely to know you have people behind you, wanting you to succeed :D xxxx

I can not believe how much I can have on SS+ that I didn't know about. Thank you x

Sounds lovely. Thank you for the idea xx

I thought it was like chilli powder or mixed herbs. I'm obviously a bit slow lol x

You too :D x

Of course I wouldn't take it the wrong way. I'm always grateful for advice and I know that everyone on this site is on my side and knows what it's like. I will definitely ask for it without dressing - thank you. I hope you have a good Sunday :) xxx

I didn't know you could have that either. Do you still stay in ketosis having spices? X

That sounds lovely. What spices do you use? I didn't know we could have green peppers :)

I'm finally starting to feel better and it's a once a month thing. I'm going with my sister in law who had done CD before so is very supportive but the others are her friends and family so they don't really understand. I think unless you have battled with your weight you don't understand people...

Hi Katie It is nice to know that there are other people who have as much to lose as me. I'm taking it a week at a time because if I think about how much I have to lose it gets a bit overwhelming. Even though you have had a blip I admire you for getting straight back on it and I am always here if...

That's a good idea. I'm going with my sister in law that has done CD before so she is very supportive :)

Hi Kristin. Do you chicken kebab? How do you cook them? I didn't know that we could have peppers? X

Morning everyone. I'm finally starting to feel better after being ill all week. I have got the offer of going out for a drink and lunch today with all the girlies and I don't know what to do? The place they are going to does a chicken salad so I could have that but the girlies are all skinny...

Hi. I was just wondering what sort of meals people had on SS+? I'm on week 3 and I'm already getting bored of my combinations. Any ideas would be gratefully received as I have a long way to go. Xxx

This ^^^^^^^ is so true. The 1st 3-4 days are the worst. Stick with it and soon you won't feel hungry and will be glad that you stuck to it. If you have anything off plan you are just extending the time that you feel rubbish x :)

Hey. Are you on ss+? Am I missing something? There is a cookery book? I'm on ss+ but 5 days out of 7 I don't have my meal as I'm so bored of eating the same things. :)

My CDC weighs me and then does my measurements. It's good to see both reducing :)

The important thing is to keep going. It's just one week and I know it can be really disheartening but we are all here to support you xxx

I usually love the chocolate tetras and that is all I usually have. I'm hoping once my cold clears up that I will love them again. I'll look forward to hearing how you've got on Monday. My WI is at 10.00am! :)

Thank you! I'm not good at being ill. I feel like its a waste of time lol. I get really frustrated. Hopefully I'm over the worst of it now. I hope you are having a good week xxx

I have got two days till my WI (on Monday) and that will be the end of week 3. I'm still full of cold and have got a chest infection, which I'm sick of. Usually when I'm poorly I want comfort food but I have managed to stick to SS+! The only problem I'm having at the moment is that my chocolate...

Thank you :)

Good luck with WI :)

:) Razor :D

Now that sounds good to me :D

Doom :)

I'm just lying in bed trying to get the energy to get up and get ready for work. Just wanted to blow my own trumpet and tell people how pleased I am with myself. Yesterday was my Aunts birthday so we went out for a meal to a carvery. I was good and just had some turkey and broccoli, while...

I'm still feeling terrible. My cold is now on my chest! On the plus side I am usually doing ss+ but haven't had my meal for 2 days as just haven't felt like it! I hope it's reflected in my weight loss on Monday. I did find her diary, thank you. I'm still trying to get to grips with posting...

Game :) :)

Triumph :D

Supersede :D

I have been really suffering with my cold but I have managed my 3 litres and 3 tetras. I usually have a 200 cal meal but haven't fancied it for the past couple of days How about you? :)

Well done for taking the 1st steps towards the new you. I find the 1st 4 days the worse but everyone is different. Good luck :)

Worst thing you can do is beat yourself up about it. Put it in perspective. It's not like you have had a big chocolate bar or fish and chips. I'm sure you will be fine and it's just one little tiny blip. Try and stay positive and see what happens. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

Thank you xxxx :)

Excitement :D
