Hi All - 4lb loss at weigh in and half an inch all over so I am quite chuffed!!:D, seem to always have a bigger week then a smaller week so guess it evens out over the month. Am going to try and stick to plan this week and not get sabotaged by thoughts of holiday, :cool:so far so good was 100%...

Morning ladies - hope everyone is doing OK today - I too had a bit of an eating day yesterday :break_diet:- not sure if it's because I am going on holiday at the weekend so I am having a break then, in my mind I wonder if I'm thinking "well not much point sticking to it now as you are having a...

OMG Zelos are you going to boost our team score!!! Well done you - you should feel really proud of yourself. Starting out is hard but when you get results like that it does keep you motivated - so go for it!!. So team total (thanks to Zelos) this week is nearly 20 lbs. In dog analogy thats a...

So have to get everyones WI for this week, 2 for me, 2.5 for Zanny, 2 for Illa - Zeloc do you want to post yours? 6.5 so far between us - all good news in the right direction, so well done ladies!

Thanks Illa - just a bit manic at work and getting ready to go on holiday so really tired!! :( all just getting a bit much with the emotions of last week as well - but my scales this morning say am only 5lb off my 2 stone target for going on holiday on 2nd Oct - not bad since 8th August - caught...

OMG you two what are you like!! I laughed when I read this - you poor things I think would have burst out crying the way I feel at the moment!!

Soooooo 2lb loss this week which I suppose is Ok as I have gone off the rails a bit (although not massively:break_diet:). Been wandering around picking up food and then putting it down all day which I think means I need to give myself a good talking to!!:o

Thanks Illa - WI this afternoon so will see!! - AM OK today and staying focussed for the next 2 weeks (hopefully!)

Hi Zelos - sure you can join in - more of a mutual support group than a proper team, but happy to have you on board - we usually just post our losses at the end of each week to keep each other going, so let us know how your first week is and post whenever! Good Luck!!

Hi ladies, broke the diet :break_diet:and sat down and had a meal & a drink with OH last night (think he's been feeling a bit neglected!!:(:() Was quite healthy though, chicken & veg, no potatoes, so hopefully not too much damage, but worried it will make it harder to get back on track,:sigh: so...

Hi Zanny. Glad you are getting into the groove!! I quite like the leek & potato soup, and you are right it's amazing what you don't think you can do without and then you can! - enjoy that feeling of being in control - it's quite relaxing isn't it?

I everyone, so I make that 10lb loss between the three of us this week - which is about the same as a Bichon Frise Dog (the white fluffy ones!!) that's a lot!!. Zanny I only 5lb my first week on SS so don't worry - I think it might be more about our bodies and the type of fat we carry - my...

How are you doing Mollydog? How's the exercise doing? Have done 6 days of the shred now - definately getting easier (thank goodness:eek:)

I think CD don't recommend doing exercise for a period at the start, and the shred is partly about burning calories but also about building lean muscle weight which is heavier than fat, so I think your body stores anything extra to use during exercise having a "plateau" effect on weight loss...

Ok Illa sorry you are not feeling well - do keep in touch though and let us know how you are doing

Hi Illa - so is Friday going to be your official day for counting our losses? Zanny what about you? Did you say your WI was Wednesday?

Hi Mollydog - I'm doing the 30 Day Shred for exercise, 20 minutes every day. Does not seem to have affected my losses, and I have to admit, although I'm not a great exercise fan,(hence being here LOL) I do feel better for doing it.

Hi Zanny - I've noticed I loose less when I'm TOTM as well but it soon catches up, so don't let it put you off!

Hi all - 3lb loss according to my CDC - bit more according to my scales, so I'm Ok with that, also 1 inch from my waist, 1/2 each from bust and hips, so am definately shrinking!!!.:) Bit of a difficult week this week - lost my Dad a year ago on Thursday so hoping I get through that without too...

Hi everyone. weigh in this afternoon and feeling like I should have a good result, so post your weekly losses when you have them and I'll add them up. Glad you are feeling better Zanny, your first weigh in should keep you motivated!!

Yes I'm self concious about my arms, get very hot and like sleeveless things, but feel my arms look like joints of ham LOL :D- done the shred everyday now, today will be day 4. Think you don't see results until about the first week but it does not seem to have slowed down my weight loss which...

Hi Lucylis and welcome - hope the start goes OK for you - I quite like all the flavours except vanilla and butterscotch (too sweet) and the soups are OK - have not tried the porridge as I can't stand real porridge so can't think CD is nice, but thats just me!! Bars are good for when I really...

Hi Adipose - Its the Jilliam Michaels fitness DVD from "Biggest Loser" - bought it on Amazon for about £5 - lots of posts on here about well it works if you do a search - I like it 'cos it's only 20 minutes so is a bit easier to fit in than an hour or a class which is near impossible where I...

Hi Zanny welll done on day 1 - it does get better!!. As a tip I think Illa's comments about really appreciating the mouthfuls of food you do have is a good thing - the allowance on SS+ is not much I'm guessing, (I'm just doing SS) so have to make the most of it. If you do a search on something...

And that's just 1lb for me too if I use my official CDC weight - LFC what about your loss? On the bright side, for the loss so far (2lb) thats the same as a bag of sugar! (which I think sounds much more positive LOL :).

Hi Mollydog - well done you. I had to go to a nibbles do and just got a few things on a plate and put it down, no-one noticed I didn't actually eat anything - when people said "aren't you eating" I could just say - Oh yes that's my plate over there and it was no big deal!! Also very popular...

Hi - how has everyones weigh-in gone this week? - now just lost over a stone in the month exactly so quite on track, and feeling fairly OK about sticking to it) Also started the 30 day shred today for a bit of extra motivation,:p so will have to see if that helps as well;)

Thanks Illa - I'll keep posting!!. Just done the first of the 30 day shred - not too bad, managed to keep up most of the time although I didn't have any proper weights so am going to get some tomorrow and try again, I'll keep you posted how I am doing, not sure I'll move up to level 2 until I...

Illa where's your diary page gone? Says it has moved? I have been reading it but has disappeared thsi morning!!!!

Hi Zanny - YES WE CAN!! :D- glad your CDC is an inspiration, is good to share with someone who has been through it. Also think starting on a Thursday is a good idea - have to say that I started on Wednesday and by the Friday and over the weekend I was feeling pretty tired more than anything:(:(...

Hi Zanny - giving up the drink is not as hard as you think it will be :D- not had my normal evening glass of wine for 4 weeks now and I don't miss it - just have to get into different habits!! - keep us posted how you are doing, getting into the swing of it at first is hard but the initial...

So you are doing the shred too now Illa - is it as tough as they say ?- I must admit looking forward to it but a bit scared as well!!

Hi everyone - bit dissapointed with my weight loss last night :break_diet:- only 1 lb according to my CDC, (but 4 according to me in the morning so thats good) 1/2 inch off everywhere though, so maybe I have a week of weight and a week of inches!!:confused:. Still, its a stone over the 4 weeks...

Hi Zanny - well done on making the decision!! We are all posting our weight loss for each week satrting from 1st Sept, so just let us know when you ahve started, the more the merrier.

Hi Illa - yes if you start a thread that will be good - I don't mind about the name, any of the ones you suggested, Lovely slimmers? but any really. Off for my Wi now and then I will post later, we will have to add our losses for this week together and post a total - lets hope it's a good one:D

Hi everyone - hope everyone OK, only seems to be the three of us posting regularly - not sure what has happened to everyone else, maybe they are posting somewhere else?. LFC 11lb that's fantastic you must be feeling really pleased with yourself!! Well done. And Illa keep going, you are righta...

Hi Illa - yes the other dog is the same, black and white. I am going on holiday in October so hope to loose a stone by then and be quite good during so I don't undo all my good work!! - am a bit lazy on holiday though so not burning many calaories, have to make a bit more of an effort. We will...

11lb loss whilst you were on holiday as well is fantastic!! well done you! Yes have 2 Border Collies - one is in my Avatar picture) and they have to go out for a walk everyday or they are really a pain!(but great fun)

:DHi Illa - housework - eugghh!!!. Have just been out walking the dogs - my only form of exercise I'm afraid but at least its something, and is a beautiful morning:cool: so felt a bit more like it than normal. Glad you are back on track, post your loss at the end of the week from 1st Sept - new...

OK Lfc, hope you stay strong!! I'm not a sweetie person, if it was crisps I'd be in trouble. I'll keep checking with everyone and perhaps do a summary for Friday of who's in / out. We can just post on here in pulic for now I guess

Bluedress, BabyPat, Sammy 2 , Majella (anyone else I have missed from this thread?!!) - do you want to join up?. If we are just posting totals I don't think it matters how many - just anoher way of spurring each other on. Team names - how about "The Goalies"?

OK then - so if everyone PMs me their weight loss I guess it doesn't matter when you are weighed if you use the last loss?. I'll add it up and post the total, we can maybe do a target as well? for the month or something. Start on 1st Sept them would be a handy start, so if I have weight losses...

Hi all - I have read the "rules"about teams posted at the front ofthe CD teams thread, but I did note that they were posted in January 2010 so seem a bit out of date now? Am I looking in the wrong place? If not is seems having a weekly weigh in and a "challenge" seems to have died a bit of a...

Hi everyone - I thought we had to add all our losses together each week to see who was at the top of the "looser" table? - I think that's why the actual numbers are limited to 6 so it's fair, iotherwise it's lovely to support as many people as possible. We will have to say what day we all get...

So at the start we also had Pink Princess2 and Majella - can you let us know if you still want to join, otherwise for sure whoever else wants to - now will have to figure out what a team does - hahaha:D:D

Put me down for number 3 - have lost count of members a bit, with me, Sammy 2, Illa, Lfc, not sure who else said at the start they wanted to join - will check and see what that looks like

Hi everyone - I think everyone has doubts about whether they are doing the right thing - it seems quite drastic not to have food when we are in this position from letting food get the better of us for so long, but I have to say I am in week 3 now and finding it quite liberating not to have to...

:DThanks LFC - been cooking OHs dinner & he's happy as I am cooking him thinks I don't like (liver bbleeecch!!) so I'm not tempted:)LOL

Hi Everyone - Lfc hope you are back on SS and feeling OK - glad its the weekend in one way (feeling tired) and not in another - hardest time as involves supermarket shopping and not doing normal social things like eating and drinking!!! Still better loss this week, my scales now show I have lost...

Hi Lfc - yes is difficult when people are disapproving - is hard enough anyway!. Also planning to hide away a bit over the weekend - been invited to a party tomorrow but is only nibbles (so no-one notices if you don't eat them) and I am driving so perfect excuse not to drink without people being...

Hi Dordoy - the smell of food is a killer isn't it! Not hungry really (and I sometimes forgot to have all 4 meals when I was on that plan, just having 3 now and feels easier somehow) but OMG the smell of fresh bread!!!:rolleyes:

Morning all, hope everyone feeling Ok this morning - Bank Holdiay weekend looming which normally means barbeques and social things, so wondered how everyone was coping with that- are you telliing people about the diet or just "avoiding" social situations where not eating would be obvious?

Sorry you are struggling! Still at least you are staying on track, even though you are finding it hard - keep at it, hopefully the results will keep you going

Well done you!! - it does help having a CDC you can trust. Is still quite a new relationship for me and not really had any difficulties yet, I think that's when the cards are really down and you need that extra support - part of the reason for being on here too I guess!

Hi all the newbies, hope you are doing OK. Have found that keeping busy is the trick - have started a new hobby (jewellery making) to get out at quiet times when I would be cooking or eating, keeps me occupied, the time flies by and I have something to show for it at the end (making christmas...

Hi Sammy2 - still I see I have not put those scales away!! LOL

Hi Lfc - come back to us when you restart - hope everything OK

Hi Lfc - have to look at my other thread about jumping on and off the scales - is killing me!!, is funny how motivating it is some days and horrible others, almost like its so fast we expect the scales to have moved every time we get on!!

Hi everyone - sounds like we are all in a similar position so if we use this thread as a little group to support each other?. 2nd weigh in last night, only lost 2lbs and no inches so gutted as have stuck 100% but wonder if am due TOTM, seems like a hell of a lot of effort for just that, so had...

Hi - good luch for starting on Thursday Lfc. Doing OK but like Riotgirl have horrible taste in my mouth all the time - OH says is disgusting!! Still keeps him from breathing on me in bed lol!. Found myself really sniffing all the fresh bread in the supermarket yesterday but have been 100% so...

Thanks everyone - useful debate I think about how the scales can either motivate or trash us!!.

Thanks everyone - glad it's not just me!!. I think what Girlygirl said is what I'm worried about - how much no loss or gain will affect my mood. I'm going to move them out of the bathroom at least and then I will have to think twice about just hopping on, and see how it goes. Maybe waiting for...

Hi - could do with a bit of avice - my CDC asks me not to weigh myself until I go for my official weigh in. My scales at home show me the same as her, so I can't seem to help but get on the scales every day:wave_cry:!. As this is my second week I am still loosing, but think this can't be a very...

Hi Majella - nice to hear from you. have to scout around for a few more members of this thread maybe too!!. How are you doing - into week 2 now and feeling OK but not sure how much I am loosing - hope it will be worth all the effort. If you have been in a team do you know how it works?

Hi Blue*eyes, Ive just doen my first week, 4 packs mix of soup and shakes. It's been OK but also feeling tired, not much energy which I hoep will wear off as I want to increase exercise levels. Lost 6lb in 6 days (early weigh in) but have stuck absolutly 100% and more than had all the water, so...

Hey riotgrrl how are you getting on after day 1?. Have done a week now and lost 6lb after day 6 - was a bit disappointed (silly I know but when you see some people lost 10 or 12lb!!) but have stuck 100% and generally feeling OK if a bit tired. Let us know how you are finding it

Thats so true - it's what I like about this diet, I find with other diets I have just got fixated on what I can and can't eat and I'm sure that can't be a healthy approach. Going for my 1st weigh in tonight (6 days) so will see if it shows on the scales!

Hi - into my first week and I'm glad I did it, like lots of others on here. My OH finds it hard to understand too but it is important to have them on your side, otherwise your social life becomes too much of a problem (as in "well one night off won't do you any harm...") There is a helpful post...

Hi - I'm on day 5 today - felt a bit rubbish yesterday but Ok today - I'm amazed I've not cheated! - even had to remind myself to have the shakes as I seem to have gone off food altogether (lets hope that keeps up!!) have abouy 6 st to loose so a good start will keep me motivated - good luck...

OK so our team so far is Skippydog, Pinkprincess85 and Sammy2 - maybe if we wait a few days and get a few others (am I right in thinking you need 6 people?) - will have to think of a name (and maybe not All men are b******ds although is tempting!)

Joining a team Hi - have you had any replies yet ?- I just started a few days ago and am a bit confused with how you join a team,:confused: but can see it would be a great motivator!! So if you still have room I'm up for it - I have 6 st to loose to get back to feeling human after a really c**p...

Hi all - just started on the CWM and the graph is great to give me a visual target - it must have taken you ages! thanks very much
