Apart from my trousers being baggy round the bum I can see little difference. Hubby looks slimmer already though he still has a long way to go. He can tell the difference on his knees already - very proud of him. He was 26stone at start now he is 23 stone 13 - but at 6ft 6" he doesn't look too...

Thanks Dizzy - I am so happy Hubby is losing well, I hope it continues. He is looking forward to getting to that 20 stone mark. XX

Hubby lost another 10lbs this week - total 29lbs in 2 weeks jammy thing:) :D . I lost three - probably because I haven't been to loo now for 10 days:eek: despite psylium husks and laxative. I took some of the fibre 89 today to see if that works - hope its earlier rather than later as I have...

Well done Well done Sharon an excellent weight loss:) :D :) :D . Try the shakes in a smoothie maker they are great as long as you keep the tap turned off to start with:o

Hi Mich, glad yoy got to enjoy yours lol. Try shaking some nutmeg, cinnamon or mixed spice on it mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Congratulations Sarah - well done. I hope the scales are as kind to me this week

I made these for hubby today:) :) , although they turned out well again I did prefer the ones made with Vegetable shake, cayenne pepper and black pepper :D They only took 1 min 40 secs today. If they don't look brown enough just pop back in for a few seconds. I did this yesterday and they were...

I am hoping to be at or near my weight by then so will have a smaller then usual Christmas dinner. Turkey or chicken instead of a choice of 2, more veggies and a couple of glassses of red wine:D :D :D . No big tins of choccies this year though!!:) :)

Congratulations Jennie on your fab loss. Mine was tasting the chocolate orange bar albiet only a tiny slice. I'm gonna make this one last lol - don't see cd until Sunday.

:( Can't believe it. i had just made hubby a nice hot toffee and walnut shake, then went to make mine. I had fancied a banana flavour and only had one. Hot water in a measure left a minute , poured the shake in , good old whizz. Some of the shake flew out and burned my hand. I quickly put my...

Coley, I just cut a tiny slice off my Chocolate and orange bar wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - definately the best, followed by chilled cranberry bar.

my cdc is great and would have changed them , but it was the first time I had tried them and had mixed them up for a meal...Yuch 1 mouthful (I had to try them again just to check that they tasted that bad lol ) gave them to the waste diposal it seemed to enjoy them he -he!

Congratulations on your 13lb loss , great news

1981 and Dizzy I cooked them in a micro-wave (see ice moose's blog)my microwave is 900watt but I think it is cooking lower . The first batch of 9 I cooked for 1 min 25 secs as instructed I thought they need a bit longer so put them in for 20 secs more. When you take them out they are still a...

thank you thanks everyone for all your encouragement I am sure I will make it to Christmas- when I hope I will be close to my desired weight:D :D and I do want a small Christmas dinner :)

I tried the crisp recipe off icemoose's website super duper - guess who had a nice crunchy lunch:D :p. I was worried that it may mess up and what lunch!! but they came out spot on - hubby wants some for his dinner tomorrow (I generously saved him 4:) ). Mixed my vegetable soup pack with enough...

cambridge bars Hi Jubbly, don't make me jealous;) I am going to try another tonight:D :D :D . I have yet to try the choc mint, I got one yesterday so may have it hot for supper:) :) .

Marks and Spencers have a good range from "normal pants" to ones with longer waists and legs. I have some of the "Bridget Jones big knicker":o style and they are very comfortle and wash well (I do not tumble dry them) . Reasonable price as well.

I was a bit miserable yesterday when I saw cdc. Having not liked the Spicy tomato and butterscotch and desperately missing chewy food (they were so bad I threw them away)so on 2 days I only had 2 packs. She gave me some bars for this week. When I got home I chopped up a cranberry one into 32...

Hi Happygal I think I put my name on the October bulgebusters last night xx

Thanks Nat, Its hard not to when he has lost so much, I keep telling myself its because he is twice my weight so he's obviously going to lose more.I am so pleased for him , it will give his knee replacement surgury a better chance of success :-)

Thanks Dizzy, we were really good and didn't get weighed before. Hubby doesn't fit the normal household scales anyway so don't have them lol. It seems to be getting easier. We don't feel hungry, just craving for chewy food :-)

thats excellent news, it has given me more motivation

Hi all, Went for the first weigh in today, Hubby lost 19lbs:eek: he's gone from 26stone to 24st 9 - unbelieveable:) :) . Hes not as happy as i am for him as he is looking at it as a job that has to be done for health reasons. Me on the other hand only lost 6lbs - I was gutted, i haven't cheated...

Thanks Vicky - I will post it Sundat evening when we get back. I don't feel as thought I have lost anything :-(. I will be gutted if I haven't putting up with not eating all week!!

Thank you everyone Thank you everyone for all the encouragement, it does help you through the week:D :D :D . Used a laxative last night which did the job:o :o :o .I ordered some of the psyllium husk so hope to get it in next few days. That should sort the problem out lol!!;)

Thank you Dizzy

October starters Hi, Hubby and I started CD ss on Monday. I have 3st4 to lose, hubby has 10 stone to lose. Its out first weigh in on Sunday so will see how we go. We aren't feeling hungry just missing the chewing of food. Oriental chilli is great:D . Can't wait for the bars and mousse mmmm!:)

Hubby and I have survived the ss for 5 days now without cheating:D. Mind you yesterday was bad we were very miserable, I could easily have eaten, but hubby has a lot more to lose so I have to try and control it. We aren't hungry its just that I want chewy food LOL:) . First weigh in on Sunday...

CDC Counsellor My husband and I (his name isn't Phillip lol) have been on the CD diet for 5 days now. My counsellor is great ( I called a couple before I felt I had found someone I could relate to)she spent 11/2 hours on our first visit, measured and weighed us. Told us the ups and downs...
