I know this is an old thread but I came across it while pondering the question of wanting to nibble on something that wont ruin all my hard work till now, via a simple ggogle search. I thought Id add my tuppenny bit as someone else may come across this. This is just a personal view and it may...

Personally I think those of us who are fat/obese/overweight already know the problem and no amount of playing around with words will make a difference. I am fat. I am bigger than I should be. Obese sounds like an insult. Some people are far too touchy about words when what they should be touchy...

Thank you Theresa :) are you a returner too? Hi Beckz, 7lbs is not a lot. remember when you first start and have a lig loss in the first week.... our CDCs put that down to initial water loss, so most of that is prob water going back on :) I did a DIY diet 3 years ago and I lost a stone and a...

temporary

stomachs probably grumbling cos of all the water swishing around the thought of my stomach full of water and knowing its part of the process keeps me motivated keep at it :)

Looking fabulous! a great inspiration for us all x

Wow you are looking great! so much of an improvement from the first photo. It shows in your smile too :) keep it up hun your goal is in your sights x

Well done yummymummy for taking the first step. I have just restarted too following a 3 month break but i did prepare for it by cutting down on carbs and drinking lots of water. I only put on 2lbs over christmas so am feeling confident that i have changed the way I think about food. Thinking...

Great first week weight loss AngelUpNorth !! I started again this week after a 3 month break. Thankfully Christmas and Birthdays didn't affect my weight too much. Kept the carbs to a minimum and planned for days when I knew I'd be tempted. I didnt want to start again in the first week of Jan...

Hi Mary, that's a fair point you make, if i had stopped for a year maybe I would have put more on. I think the thought of going back and having a big weight gain recorded on my card kept me in control. I have realised though that the recommended calorie intake of 2000-2500 a day when not...

I started the CD initially to lose enough weight to buy a comfy dress to wear at a wedding and an engagement last September. I found it quite easy once I prepared for the impending start date I had set myself. I started drinking loads of water and stopped eating major carbs, potatoes, rice...

glad you like the chocolate tetra shake. I like chocolate normally and ive seen others buy just chocolate at my meetings so thought id try it. It was the strongest, most sickening taste of chocolate ive ever had. I actually couldn't keep it down and felt so bad i went to bed and missed my last...

Hi Lovette, How are you getting on? I logged on today and had to admit your comment made me lol I suppose the media kind of takes over a phrase and makes it what it wants to. An eating disorder seems to be commonly understood to refer to anorexics and bulimics nowadays. But you are soooo...

Ignore the comments, and if possible avoid talking diets with this friend. You need to have people around who support you. Wanting a BMI of 25 simply shows you want to be healthier and not in the overweight category. Just wondering if jealousy plays a part?? Is your friend overweight, or wanting...

Hi Ninja, Im afraid Im not very good at checking in regularly. Feeling good this week lol dont get many good days what with a bad 4-5 days before TOM and 4-5 days after, thats half my month gone :confused: o On a positive note this has been a good week, house has been cleaned from top to...

Hi RebekahR ! I have the same problem. I can gain 6 or 7 lbs in the days leading up to TOM. Ir has got me down in the past, but experience tells me that the weight loss catches up with the next WI. I also get migraines, swollen feet and terrible tummy cramps and back aches which literally...

OMG BL you are so inspirational ! I have only got to post #120 but I am so fascinated by your 'ramblings' I dont even know if you still check this thread (I am reading it like a book, and i dont want to spoil the ending) but everything you say seemed to hit something familiar in my life...

Im so jealous... you have a lovely figure. The benefits of losing weight before it gets out of hand and regrets many years later. Also it shows how just a stone and a bit can make so much of a difference. Well done and enjoy your hols :)

Sorry to hear you been through so much. My initial thought was whether you were drinking enough water. Maybe living in a hot country you needed more than the usual 4 litres a day. But even that wouldn't explain so little weight loss over such a long time. A bit cheeky of me,,, but are you sure...

Hi, your story really touched me. firstly depression often makes you react to situations in an 'unreasonable' way. I know cos I have done it without realising, but afterwards thought I wonder if I was just being paranoid. Kids of that age can often interpret life very differently to how we...

Hi Nina, thanks for asking... wow its been 4 weeks since i posted, didn't realize its been that long :( Ive been dogged with minor health issues. My back went again so was very immobile for a while, also been having bad PMS symptoms, migraines for 4 or 5 days beforehand, crippling back pain and...

Hi, I realise this is an old thread, I found it to see if anyone else gets bursts of diarrhea every few days on CD. I have a long way to go in my battle of the bulge, but some of what Cateka says in her earlier posts rings true for me too. Although I don't know how I will feel in a few months...

A definate difference Rach !! Its an all over difference, arms and legs , neck and top of your back. I like your comment about baggy clothes, I intend to stay in my current clothes for as long as possible. I'm enjoying having tops that seem to get wider and the neck seems to drop over your...

Thats an amazing result. You look so much younger and happier :)

Thats an amazing loss. You look great. Your photos are real inspiration. Thank you for posting :)

You look great in your jeans. That's what my aim is as i haven't worn Jeans for years. I also find the weight loss is inspiration to keep it up while at the same time I am not finding the CD as difficult as I thought I would.

You look FAB !!! great weight loss ... You're nearly there now :)

Well done, thats an amazing loss for 12 weeks :)

I have also kept it to myself, although it's a bit easier because I don't go out to work. I haven't lost enough yet to be noticed and Im wearing the same clothes. I have promised myself I wont buy anything new till I need to and the only reason I can see at the moment is a wedding in September...

Don't lose hope. I too struggled at the 2 week point but thanks to some kind words on here, I am feeling strong again. Think of the chicken as some extra protein at least you didnt have fattening. I wouldn't think it will affect your weight loss if at all. keep strong and take one day at a time...

am I the only one who is quite touched by your interest in my diet? lol thanks guys :D yeah I was confused by the red grapes too. the cucumber and celery is obviously mainly water, I just missed chewing something lol on my first WI I asked my CDC loads of questions simply to confirm to myself...

I started this diary 3 days ago on my day 12. I had my second WI last night and lost 4lbs again. I lost 4lbs the first week too. I'm not sure why but I'm quite disappointed. I thought id lose 6 at least. On the plus side I have lost 2 ins from my waist and 1 in off my hips. I suppose that half...

Hi, I spoke to my CDC too about no breakfast and I was told that its better to stick to what suits me rather than a strict breakfast/lunch/dinner routine. I have never been a breakfast person either. I am up every day 7-7.30 latest. I drink 2 black tea or black coffee with sweetners and will...

Hi, I am new to this site and only started CD about 10 days ago. I tried it about 25 years ago and failed miserably. Newly married and keen to impress with my cooking skills. as well as cooking with my mums instructions didn't help. The quantities She was passing on to me were for 5 people...

Ive only been on the CD for 10 days. I'm on SS and my first weigh in was 4lbs loss and 2 ins off my waist. Initially I was disappointed that I hadn't lost 6 lbs as my CDC said 'up to 7lbs in 1st week. But have come to realise that 4lbs is prob an average. As for the inch loss there are...
