Hi Keighlyjo, Kira has said, just DO NOT GIVE UP. All you need to do is take it one day (or hour, or minute sometimes!) ata time, and just get through it. I am not the best person to dish out this advice, as I have restarted CD more times that I can remember. BUT, having said that, i do...

Hi, I switched to Exante, and have done 2 days on the exante packs. They are not bad tasting, and not as sweet as the CD ones. which is fine with me. They do smell a bit like a hamster's cage:rolleyes::rolleyes: before you mix them, but they taste okay!! I swapped for the price - £100 a...

Thats FAB! Well done!! keep up the good work! Christine

To be able to feel attractive and not worry that my belly is exposed when my top rolls up over it when i am sat down! nicer clothes! more self-confidence when I go out. Not feeling exposed when out for a meal & thinking that everyone thinks that I am too fat to be eating something nice in...

That is totally brilliant! well done! It just goes to show that all we need to do is stick to the plan & the weight magically disappears!:D I am a seasoned re-starer, but am now 5lbs from half-way, and that is my focus - to break that in the next couple of weeks. am all inspired by your story...

Hi Awakenme- I have just come back to this site after a looooooong time away. I last posted on this thread in August 2010, when you had lost your 1st 100lbs! You have done brilliantly well. I am back on the CD as from today (spookily the same weight as i was last time I updated my ticker)...

can i join you? Fallen off wagon, but raring to re-start tomorrow. 14lbs by the end of Oct would be lovely Christine xx

That's great! Keep it up!

great news! well done - keep it up! The changes in you must be amazing already - another 100lbs lost will be beyond that! I will be keeping up with your story in awe.

You are doing really well! Some of the packs I find are an acquired taste, and what some people say are lovely, there will be just as many who think it is vile. You will find your favourites! I am currently at the end of day 2 of my 2000th re-start, so my advice would be to give this you...

Hi AwakenMe, I have just read your thread from start to finish, and just wanted to add that I think you are doing tremendously well. More than that - you are an inspiration. I too have messed about with starting and stopping CD for a few years, and have been waiting for the penny to drop...

To be able to paint my toenails without passing out from lack of air due to my big belly preventing me from breathing when bent over! Plus everything everone else has said.

can i join in? Hi All, I dont think I have posted on here yet. I have lurked for a looooong time. Anyway, this hourly thread is a great idea - I tell myself to make it to the next hour, and then so on, so I am glad it is not just me. I am starting again today (for the bazillionth time)...

well done! Do you have any motivation you can pass this way??? P.S. Your username made me smile, we used to call one of the girls at uni Jillybean. Those were the days...... I was a size 12 (despite drinking in the student union a LOT), but was never satisfied. Oh.... to be 9 stone...

Hi, I havent been posting on here. plan gone to pot! Anyway, I will be starting SS again tomorrow - well, weaning myself off the carbs. I will do this! I havent worked out how to do the 'quote' thing from other people's replies - but I meant to say hello to the last two posters! I cant...

Can I join in?? I reckon I can get to BMI 25 by Christmas if I stick with this. I have messed about for too long, and I could ahve been at goal ages ago had I stuck to it the first time. So - here goes................

Mine lives in Wallsend, but there is another in South Shields. Is that too far?

Not been around for ages! Morning, Not had a chance to get on the boards for a while. So far today I have managed 750mls water, and a black coffee. I am training myself to like balck tea and coffee. At the moment I have to have a sweetener tablet with the coffee as it just tastes vile to...

Wow! I was reading the posts and was having trouble ignoring my chatter box who was trying to talk me out of doing CD. Your post came just at the right time. The difference in you is AMAZING. Wel done!!! you look like a completely differnt person. I am now convinced I will carry on with CD...

New CDC!!! Been off the plan for too long. Did I mention I was diagnosed as hypothyroid?? Anyway I am, and even after 7 months of dose increases, I am still not 'normal'. So, been having a few self pitying days.... weeks.... I will re-start this at the weekend. Sunday to be accurate...

me too! Was it really that bad?

Morning, Must keep this up................ managed to SS until I called into asda for milk & dogfood and gave into a packet of cadbury buttons. Wouldnt have been so bad, but it was the big bag. I didnt even taste them. Waste of a day. My own fault. FFS get a grip woman. Today is a...

Hi Mike, What a fascinating thread. I do hope your'e feeling more like yourself soon. I just wanted to say about the scars. I know it is not the same, but I had a breast reduction of the NHS 3 years ago. I hated my 32FF breasts (they looked like that character from Titty bangbang!) on my...

Restarting is ssssoooooooooooooooo hard. I have been having trouble myself i re-starting. So, my plan is to lower my carbs this week, be on 790 Friday-Sunday and start SS Monday. When I started SS the first time I was psyched up to begin. I think I need that excitement of the 'new slim...

Hi Flirtygreeneyes, I wish I had some of your willpower - send some this way?? I wish i could decide what I am doing. I am still no further towards sticking with this than I was a month ago. I am really getting on my own nerves. I really am.:(:(:( I might try the fallen angel thing - I...

So. I have been having a think. Unusual, that. Anyway, I have eaten for England while I have been away from here, and I ahve decided once and for all that I need to GET A GRIP. I say this time and time again, and even just reading through my own posts on this thread has shown me that I...

I have just been reading your posts and the lovely replies. I dont have any words of wisdom, but would like to share my support for you in dealing with all of the issues that have been going on. Stay strong. Do not let that creep win. be kind to yourself xxx

You know, I was walking behind 2 young, slim girls today, and thought - I want to be like that. Now they were obviously younger than me, but were about the same height/build as me if I were lighter. Not skinny, but slim and looked petite, rather than short and dumpy like me. It has renwed my...

me again! I hope anybody reading this doesnt get too bored. Am posting because I am having a will I/wont I wobble. I have had 2 shakes so far today and am no hungry - but I might be thirsty. I am feeling a bit light headed and wobbly and this would normally where I would crack and have...

Morning, Yesterday went okay despite me eating some wafer thin chicken (which I dont even particuarly like). Today am determined to SS completely. I am seeing me CDC tonight for more supplies. This time next week I hope to be feeling better about myself and not feeling so much like a...

ooooh I might try that!! Anything to fool me into thinking I am having a treat. Although I actually really like the chocolate and chocolate mint shakes.

Beverly - Thanks for your support, I am hoping to stick with it for GOOD this time. But even if I struggle with the journey, I hope to get to slimness eventually! Todays plan............... take it one hour at a time and drink as much water as possible! take care

Hi I am considering trying this - I would love to have a controlled loss every week - and stop my SS/Binge cycle I appear to have developed. Anyone else with 790 success, please let us know how you found it.

Thanks for your words of support. I cant believe how undecided I am. First thing this morning I was all for having branflakes and a banana a la weight watchers, thgen thought: no, today can be my new start. I had a chocolate shake, and enjoyed it. Now, I am at work (shhh dont tell my...

Morning, It all went to pot. So, here I go again. I am even boring myself with starting, giving up, re-starting etc.

Hi The first few days are really hard - even more so when starting again. I have started again again. again. BUT last week I somehow got to a whole week (*cough* then it went wrong, so maybe I dont have the secret after all!) Sticking with it was down to nothing more than thinking how far I...

it is hard, insn't it! I have been trying the re-start, and managed a week then fell off the old wagon in spectacular style. back with it tomorrow. Definitley. Like you say, this works - but only if we stick with it! I wish I could listen to my own advice....... Good luck & if you find my...

Okay, so despite my last post being positive, I have spent the last week eating just about anything I can lay my hands on. Put on a few lbs, but am hoping it is just water - and pancakes (of all things!!).:( I am back to the swinging between 100% CD and wanting to go back to WW equally as...

lemon meringue bars/shakes chocolate mint bars with little crnchy mint bits like the cranberry/peanut bars have apple water flavouring drool drool......

good luck - just stick with it! getting through the first week is the hardest, they say. I am on day 5 of my re-start. so far going okay. We just need to focus. take care

Hi Thakns for your replies, I haven't been able to get on PC since last week. I am proud to announce that I am now on day 4 of SS, and feel fine. I have upped my water lots, and have had 3-4 litres every day since friday. I am back with full willpower. My CDC, bless her is doing SS this...

Hi All, I lurk about these boards a bit, but dont post very often at all. I was just reading peoples thoughts about re-starting, and it is all sooooooooo true. I have been trying to re-start all week - and managing to get to tea-time at best, then giving in and having some food - but not...

Hi All, I just wanted to make a start and record my feelings about the journey I am beginning. Feel free to take no notice of tis little diary, but I felt like I should make a note to myself of how I am feeling as I lose weight with Cambridge. I am 28, 5ft 2ins and was 13stone 10lbs...
