Thanks Marie ..... seriously though .... I say only because like I said its more like brisk walk with burst of jogging every now and then lol!!! So I do feel a bit silly calling it jogging when I don't jog the entire time lol!!! Have only just started it too so no doubt novelty will wear off...

Paranoid? I hate gyms for all of the reasons mentioned above lol! I hate doing stuff on my own too .... I tend to go jogging now (started a couple of months ago) I only do about 2 or 3 miles at a time and I only do it 2 or 3 times a week but I drag my poor mum out with me and she enjoys it now...

Alpen bars Is that 1 point for any type of alpen bar? Wow ... thats one for my shopping list .... that type of bar is usually about 2 or more points!!! :o) I love the elevenses bars but they are so high with 2.5 points each! xxx

Me me me!!! Hi all ... and hello DQ! :) I haven't been about for a while but had to give up on CD just before xmas for health reasons. Lost a stone on it so it gave me a push in the right direction. I am now on day 3 of WW (which I did a while back) and am really appreciating food! I...

well a 4lb gain I can live with as it can't possibly be fat .... I've stayed the same weight for a week now so I'm hoping thats the only gain I'll have seeing as I am eating better than I was and less than I was at xmas lol! Will keep you posted! Thanks Karen!!! :)

Me too! Hiya Sparkle! I was on CD (same as Lisee) and lost a stone but for health reasons had to stop. I am now back to weight watchers on my 3rd day also .... feeling great like you and very positive. Its amazing just how much you appreciate eating healthy foods when you're deprived of...

Back to WW too Hiya! I was on CD and am on day 3 of WW. I pretty much stopped CD on xmas eve and was just careful about what I ate for the week or so leading up to January. Since quiting CD (for health reasons with my collitis) on xmas eve I have gained 4lb and still the same this morning...

Thanks ... very useful! Thats great cheers!! Fiojam ... I thought so too but I guess you could always cut down on the carbs .... x

Hi, I know I'm still about a stone or so away from goal however I am looking to the future ... the food future lol! I have worked out that if I wanted to continue losing I would consume 1200 cals a day however I don't know what percentage of that should be made up of protein, carbs, fat etc...

Thanks Dizzy ...... *group hug* :) x

My goals Firstly I hope to get on the scales on the morning of Friday 22nd December and weigh 9st 6lb (or under pleeeeease!) New years goals if I hit my crimbo one are: 1. Be 8st 7 by my 1st years wedding anniversary on May 27th. 2. To maintain my weight with healthy eating and get off...

Hello you! Does this mean you're abandoning me? :( I may have to go and console myself with cheese on toast now (food dump 5billion lol!) x

Same here! I weigh myself in the mornings but my CDC weighs me on an evening when I've gained up to half a stone over the course of the day ... not fair really .... so I've been ignoring the weigh ins at hers (as my scales say the same as hers in the evenings too) and just weighing in the...

Hi Ann, I am on SS - would I be able to add the tikka spice mix you've talked about to the cottage cheese on my aam week? Thanks

FAO: Westhills Hi Ann, I am on SS - would I be able to add the tikka spice mix to the cottage cheese on my aam week? Thanks Hayley:)

My NY resolution Well .. like so many others every year I say I'll lose weight and give up the nasty white sticks .... its taken me 10 months of the year to do 'owt about it but I am on day 18 of CD and have had 2 ciggies since last friday! Soooooo I guess my only hopes for next year will be...

You must read ..... A book called Lovely Bones .... its a wonderful book which I could read over and over! Takes you through a roller-coaster of emotions. You must read it!!!!! x

No way pedro! I am not eating another morsal until my add a meal week ..... I feel so ashamed of eating ..... yeah I felt ill after .... and yeah it so wasn't worth it (can't believe I just said that!) I hope I don't go off my fave foods completely lol!!! Just joshing - so long as I still...

Think positive Hayley lol! Right well I have a confession to make Lauren! Last night hubby came home and told me about a wonderful new job hes been offered .... hes been after it for ages as its a much bigger company! He wanted to celebrate by going for a meal and what not but we came to an...

You can do it! I've only been on CD 15 days but its been one of the hardest things ever lol! I still have about 2 / 2.5 stone to lose so if you need any support or encouragement or a pat on the back drop me a mail - I am in the same boat as you (health wise) and I know EXACTLY how you feel...

You MUST play it cool!!!! :o) x

Hi, I heard from a friend on LL that your body can go into starvation mode even though you remain in ketosis so you won't lose weight as the body worries it will not have enough energy to keep going. Not sure how true this is but she mentioned that Posh Spice has this prob .. she remains in...

Your "friend" Yeah ok Unreal I believe you .. thousands wouldn't eh? lol! Good on you though ... just read your blog and you sound on top of the world ... so positive and full of beans!!! Well done! I'm feeling quite good this week .. just hope weigh in tonight is more successful than...

DQ Is that pic you? x

Thanks! Hiya .. thanks Kaz, Ann thanks all of you .... Am feeling very positive and looking forward to weighing in tonight at the CDC house. Wish me luck! :o) xxx

Awww thanks! See - this is what I like about this forum! Honest to god I do feel better already and had a read of another thread of someone in a similar situation. I think I need to stop thinking about weekly targets and focus on a monthly loss ... I will try not to be too upset if its not much...

Smeee Hey Unreal BurtBird here! Have been away from the site for a day or so this week as I have (like you) been battling with nasty b*tch in my head telling me to get a chicken caesar salad .... I haven't. I nibbled on a tiny bit of chicken instead which I know I shouldn't have but I'm still...

My vodka lime and soda with dinner each evening .... Haven't even thought about it up until now .... however am craving cheese big time! Along with ham, chicken, chicken caesar salads, calamari and crisps! Doh! x

Yep - have taken piccies on digital camera - just gotta find the lead and get them uploaded on to PC! lol! They really are hideous pics too! Problem with me is I absolutely refuse to buy bigger sizes cos it makes me unhappy lol! I have brought a few cheapy things in bigger sizes but on the whole...

Yay ... am very excited at prospect of chewing contently on bars!!! lol!!! I have been in ketosis since day 2 as I'd taken CDC advice and cut down on carbs and fats / sugars the week prior. I will tell her about my dangerouse cravings and hopefully will be allowed the bars .... the peanut one...

Thanks Clairejen! :) x

Well I prefer the veg soup crisps to the chilli ones. I just mix soup with cold water until a sort of salam cream thickness then cut s piece of baking parchment up and dollop little blobs of the mixture on it - about the size of a 5p. I have to admit I had a chicken drumstick over the weekend...

Is there any way my CDC would allow me to have bars on my 2nd week instead of my 3rd? Seriously craving to the point I think I may cheat and cheat big style! :o( x

Yeah hoping to get to 8st 7 then I don't mind going up to 9 after the diet if you get what I mean .... I was 9st when I met hubby so would be nice to be like that again and put spark back into relationship lol! I'm only 5ft 2 / 5ft 3 so I won't look too skinny but we'll see .. so long as I'm a...

lol!!!!! LMAO! x

People are so damn evil!! I know how you feel Kam .. I went camping couple of weekends ago and someone we had met at the site previously was chatting away to me then leaned over and prodded my belly saying "I used to be like you" ... and everytime I had a vodka and soda she said "and that won't...

Bless you Lauren lol! Well you've done a fab job weight wise and your blogs fun to read! I think its cos we're so close in age - easy to relate to! Your first fan lol!!! Hayley x

:) Thanks!!! Another good read! Love the pics - you look stunning .... well done (and yes your sister is a loon bless her lol!) Looks like a fab night! :) x

Personally I'd just meet them later ... say you feel a bit under the weather but couldn't miss the eve completely so you'll pop over for an hour or 2!

Hiya! Please could you update your blog ... I love reading it and theres nowt new on it to read now lol! I need something to take my mind of wanting to eat!!! x

ew! That sounds yuck lol! x

Thanks Yeah .. I'll keep posting on here .... even being at work isn't helping but will continue reading this site and posting and chatting and sipping my hot tetra ..... Heres hoping a new savoury flavour will be out soon! x

Hi thanks all! I'm already in Ketosis and have been since day 2 (checked on a ketostick!) so I don't know why I'm feeling this ... I'm not hungry at all and I drink about 5 or 6 litres of water a day. I really can't face anymore sweet stuff (got a hot tetra sitting here in front of me but will...

Only on day 4 and although I am not that hungry I am craving something nice and savoury to eat .. a bit of cheese or bit of ham ..... would it completely knock me out? Really don't want to do it but theres just nothing savoury on CD and the crisps from soup makes me feel a bit sick ... along...

Not so bad! Thanks! Not as bad as I thought ... good stuff! :) x

Day 4 And its day 4 for me today .. feeling a bit grumpy but only cos I want some ham or chicken with some cheese!! I want to go back to bed and forget about food! x:(

Not sure Not entirely sure .. how about paprika? That goes with nearly everything and I'm sure you're allowed it! You could always add some finely chopped veg in your CD soup maybe? I'll have to have a little think! :) x

How did it go? This sounded yum .. how did youget on? x

Wow what a fab idea ... oh hubbies wallet will be trembling in fear when I mention that tonight lol!!! Great idea!!! Thank you! And yes .... I loved it THAT much! :D Good luck and that 12/14 WILL fit perfectly! x

well done .... keep it up!!! Just think of crimbo din-dins .... well enjoying it without feeling the guilt at least after losing a couple of stone! :) x

Well done fantastic loss when you think a normal average weight loss on a conventional diet is about 2lb!!! My first weigh in Monday ... can't wait - hope I'm as successful as you! Pat on the back for sticking it out and achieving fab first week result! :) x

Thats such a fantastic result for your first week. I hope my first weigh in is just as successful as yours .. roll on Monday (now theres something I never thought I'd hear myself say ... roll on monday? whats wrong with me? lol!) x

do you know how much extra water we're meant to drink as I know CDC said something about an extra litre I think or was it a pint? I really can't remember! x

My CDC said this could happen. She said to try a glass of slimline tonic water before bed (but not the one with lemon or lime in) She said it works a treat! x

Hey all ... Just a quickie cos I've forgotten already - just had my first choccie tetra ever ... mixed half of it with water and heated it up a little ... having the other half this afternoon. Firstly - what a yummy winter warmer!!! More importantly though how much extra water do you need to...

Its amazing really isn't it! However my GP hasn't been all too bad about it ... he signed without the lecture although today when I went in he did go on a bit about how with "this kind of diet" as soon as you stop you put on weight! If only he'd read up about it ..... x

Hi - I started Tuesday too .. looking forward to Monday's weigh in! Feeling great! My CDC told me to hold off doing any exercise whilst on VLCD as I'm not getting enough calories in the first stage! Just as well really cos I hate exercise unless its a walk in the park or ice skating or something...

1st week Happy Friday everyone and enjoy your weekend .... when I come back Monday I'll have completed my first week and can't wait for weigh in time! :) I like this thread ... my song for the weekend is: Bob Marley - Is This Love ..... dunno why but I'm feeling all happy and lovey dovey ...

oooh the cheek of it ... just joshing! A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do ..... have fun ... enjoy your weekend! x

Ok ..... now the day is almost over I am starting to crave something savoury and yum ... why oh why are there so many shake flavours and not enough new soups? x

SAVOURY PLEEEEEESE! Any savoury addition would be fab .. not enough at the mo .... :(

Congrats! Good for you ... I really admire you for what you've decided to do .... I got married in May and only wished I'd heard of the miracle that is CD well before then - I could have looked lovely and slim instead of squeezing into my dress and, although looking slim my arms gave it away...

Well hubbie has brought me ..... my CD!!!! Bless him ... hes wonderful and offered to pay for it for me so long as he got out of xmas shopping!! lol! x

Day 3 for me too and so far sailing through it bar the headache yesterday .... just about to make a hot choccie to warm myself up! Also have lost 5lb since day 1 but again, like you not going to think about it now as it will probably be different next Monday for my weigh in! lol! Well done -...

Me too! Hey - I'm on day 3 as well and did my ketostix last night and I'm also in Ketosis and not having any hunger pangs yet! :o) In fact I feel quite good! Yesterday had a thumping headache but today - fine! Looking forward to weigh in next Monday!

... my afternoon's been miserable without you and the Wagon ..... where are all my wagoneers? Sad & lonely! :(

I am a big water drinker anyway ... I do about 5 or 6 litres a day ... 3 of those between 9 and 5:30 and the rest at home ... helps me combat hunger pains .. hoping that the amount of water I drink will give me a good loss this week .. my first weigh-in Monday ... will let you know! ;p x

Wow ... well done! Its amazing .... lost for words!!!! :) xxxxxxxx

Hey!!! Isn't he with 'Malcolm' in that first pic! God I love that show ... has me PMPL!!! Lol! That Jon guy reminds me of the nasty geezer that Ruby is dating in Eastenders ... hes yum but hes mean!! Hmmmmm Talking about tasy men ... what about Foz from Hollyoaks? *drool drool* Sod...

Hey Craving This is my 2nd day today and so far so good - just a bit of a headache. I've never done this before but my friends doing it and so far is losing a stone a month so thought I'd give it a go as I have had a few ups and downs and the weight loss could give me the mental boost I need...

Today - well waking up and feeling great knowing I'd completed day 1 and about to start day 2 on CD!
