Ho hum...well I am back!! Just had my birthday weekend and a month of being a d**k food-wise. Today is my first day back on plan. I've not seen a massive gain but it's enough for me to feel it and I felt self conscious over the last week as I feel chubby. Think I've got the focus back - Dad is...

Ahhh you did the right thing, well done!!! I'm still off plan but seeing my CDC on Monday and getting back to it then, I haven't had much weight gain and still in size 12 topshop skinnies so I am happy with that. Really pleased with the hair and feeling summery :) Bumped into my ex work...

Well I am off to the hairdressers now to have a few highlights re-done and a cut and blow dry then I am blitzing the house this afternoon. I'm out with my sister and friends tonight so that will be good - its been ages!! Definitely feel like I am ok now - u'r right it's funny how u have to hit...

Yeah I've had another positive day. I've definitely snapped out of the dark cloud I had over me earlier this week. I'm off out with my sister and my brother in law and his mates tomorrow night. I've known than all since college days so it will be about letting my hair down with genuine mates...

Well feeling a lot more like me today - work sabotaged the diet with a meal out with a new member of staff and then leaving drinks. But main thing is I am ok, I'm positive, feeling (wait for it..) happy!!! So tomorrow is the day I restart and I will sort this once and for all xxxx

My self esteem issues stem from my parents and in particular my mum. But Dad even now makes some horrible and personal comments. He reduced me to tears earlier telling me I'm still huge. I have a feeling I am going to have some emotional counselling sessions ahead but they need to be done. The...

Thank u both - a bit of tough love is always good for the soul. Just come off the phone to my best friend and he is taking me to the coast for a few days for some R&R after Dad has his op. I am blessed to have some amazing friends who have known me for ever and I know genuinely care. I'm going...

I'm not GG, I haven't spoken to him since Sunday afternoon when he told me about his Dad dying. To be honest right this moment I am not in a good place and have too much of my own problems to deal with anyone else's. I am off my food completely today and can't face it xx

To be honest how low I am feeling is f***k all to do with J, it's all the other pressure I am under. I'm the only one getting off my backside to help my Dad and all I'm getting back in return is verbal abuse. Totally sick of it and really don't know why I am bothering I had a bit of a melt down...

My best friend summed it up beautifully by saying that his situation played on my weakness; my mum died suddenly when I was 19. If anybody I know loses a parent I will walk over hot coals to make sure they feel they have someone who will listen and "be there whenever". This is the first time...

Lol u have said exactly the same thing as all my friend's have said!! I know u r all right, I am just way too soft for my own good. Dad had his pre-surgical assessment today and we spent the morning up at the hospital. I managed to speak to his GP and get his pain relief upgraded but he is...

I've fallen way off plan the last few nights. I'm ok in the day, but I fall apart at night. Drinking red wine and eating!! My head's all over the place worrying about my Dad and thinking about J and wondering how he is after losing his Dad. Definitely not in control at all :( xx ps thank u for...

I need a new brain - J's texted me to say his dad died this morning. Just don't know what to think/feel - well I do, I just want to cry! Fighting to urge to comfort eat. Seeing W later - hopefully will give me another reality check :(

Yeah it was just what I needed - W has been texting for much of the day and we're going for a drink tomorrow night. I have told him its just a mates drink though, definitely not a date! Had a rubbish CD day, I'm still not back to my normal self but I'm getting there. I need to get back to work...

Well blew the diet last night, this WI tomorrow isn't going to be good but it's been a crazy week. Ended up texting Original Date Guy (W) last night and we met up later on in the evening - he's lost soooo much weight and looks completely different. We both had such a giggle together I had...

Well today has been a good day - Dad is home, he's got to go back on 8 May and have his op on 9 May. Got a date lined up with K next Sunday and I'm going out for dinner with a friend on tuesday night. Just going to go and pick up my cousin and have a much needed evening out. We're having tea so...

Yeah who knows - I know to run it past GG if it gets past 1st date. I'm missing J so not sure I'm in the right frame of mind but hey, it's better than crying under my duvet which is what I would be doing if I didn't have my son to think about x

Ah I must confess, I've had 2 slices of toast and opened a bottle. Feel like the last week has finally caught up on me and I need to let my hair down. I'm out for tea tomorrow too, but sticking to chicken and a salad so will follow 810 plan tomorrow. Been texting someone who I met before J...

Hahahahahaha!!! Oh that made me giggle - I met an old friend at lunchtime and she was asking about the diet and saying that I don't need to lose anymore, I'd drunk a small glass of wine and the next minute I was pulling my top up and showing her my bare belly and muffin tip in the middle of the...

Today...14st4!

I seriously couldn't believe it when the button did up! I've got a muffin top so still have a way to go but I can't remember when I EVER got into skinny size 12 jeans...having spent my teenage years in the 80s that is saying something!!!! x

Hello size 12 skinnies!!! x

I know, I've had had a bar too now. Will make sure I have another pack before bedtime. Been running around like a mad woman and just forgot. Dad's slightly improved, they've found 2 clots in his groin which is causing the problem with his leg, it needs surgery so he's waiting for that now xx

Ahhh thank u wifey!!! :D Still feeling pretty **** about myself but I'll get over it xx

Thanks Jilly!!! Yes it's been a long journey but the end is in sight. Still have no appetite, just realised I haven't actually eaten all day...will have a shake now before I pick up my son from school x

Same as me!! I lost about the same in my first 2 weeks. I settled down to averaging 4-5lbs per week and kept it up for months. It's slowed down but if I have cheated a lot. U do get fatigued with it all and crave normality. I've never quite buckled and packed it in. It's all about chipping away...

U have got through the hardest point and are still here - I set targets which are 2 stone apart at first and kept a chart on my fridge marking off the pounds. It definitely works!!!! xx

Thank u xxxxxx u have no idea how much u'r constant encouragement and support has helped me on this journey. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! xxxx

Going on today's weight I have lost 7 stone since that photo was taken. I was on Atkins before I started Cambridge but have lost 6 stone on CD. I had almost 10 stone to lose and know EXACTLY how u feel!! Set small targets and focus on one target at a time. U will get there, this diet is the only...

Thought I would do another compare/contrast pic...On the left was me in May last year at my 40th birthday presentation. What a difference huh? X

I think so, a lot of my friends want me to stop now but I would like to shift another couple of stone x

Haha ok deal! To be honest it wasn't quick or intense, it was really good before his dad got really ill, we were just hanging out a few days a week and having a laugh. We have the same sense of humour and being together was comfy. I was with him when he got the news about his dad and it hit...

This is me today ....

Well scales say 14st6 this morning...I can smell the 13s looming!!!! :D xxx

Hahahahahaha yeah u r totally right there GG!!!! As soon as my best friend told me the real reason for his marriage break up I knew he was a cock. Balls to him - he doesn't deserve me!! I'm okish - Dad's in hospital and we're awaiting news from his surgeon to find out what they are going to do...

Awww thank u for being an amazing friend!! I do have fabulous friends who I know I can count on and my sister and cousin are pretty awesome people too. I'll make sure I have all my packs tomorrow...promise! I've got cold sores :( sure fire sign I'm stressed. I hate being home without dad...

I know :( I've been there for him totally since his dad fell ill, and sat up with him all night while he broke his heart when they told him it was terminal and he didn't have long left. He didn't even ask me what wrong with mine. I really really upset at his whole attitude - pure selfishness. I...

Thank u!! Well last night the bf dumped me by text, says he can't do 'us' while his dad is dying. Feel like s**t but can't change it, he knows my dad is seriously ill but doesn't seem to care, far too wrapped up in his own life. So anyway, I'm still on plan - having some time off work so I can...

Well today dad saw the surgeon and they have confirmed he has a blood clot in his leg somewhere. Apparantly his got a strong pulse in his right leg but nothing in his left leg. He's on morphine and warfarin, they are going to give him a CT scan tomorrow, depending on where the blockage is will...

Don't worry I havent had a drink - but I have eaten chicken and had some coke zero. Something had to give, what with dad, plus my engine warning light coming on, worrying about work and childcare with dad being in a specialist hospital 15 miles away (and i work 35 miles in the opposite...

I need wine!!! My dad's in hospital now

I was awake at 4.30 too - my son had an accident and he woke me to change his bed. Nothing like changing sheets when u'r half asleep. I've cat napped since. Just as well I have no plans today and it's going to be a lazy one! How come you were awake so early? Did u wake and then struggle to get...

That will help loads doing it with your partner, I will warn you, those pesky boys lose it soooo quickly. It's just not fair!!! J wants to do it too and wants to lose 3 stone but I'll wait until after he's in a better place after his Dad's passed away before I introduce him to my CDC. Sounds...

Hello lovely!! I'm ok, I've been very very tearful today but it's not CD, I'm just so worried about J and his parents. He didn't text me at all yesterday and he always texts when he finishes work - he was on until midnight last night and when I woke he hadn't. He rang me at lunchtime and...

Thank you Nicky!!! :) When I started last year I seriously did not believe for a second I would get that far - deep down I thought I'd get down to a size 20 and say that's it, i remember telling my sister i'd stop when i got into a size 16 but I'm there now and now I'm saying I want to get into...

Ahh thank you HannahLouise, I'm touched that you took the time to read it all!! I do have a tendency to ramble on :) Day 5 is almost finished and I'm feeling a lot better - need WI to happen! Well done on getting through day 9 - u r doing brilliantly!! This diet isn't for anyone but with some...

I am really really struggling today, not with the diet, but I feel like an emotional mess. I just want to cry all the time and have zero appetite :( x

Scales couldn't make their mind up this morning and was hovering between 14st10 and 14st9. Just 2lbs to shift before I've lost all the weight gain xx

Yeah not heard from him at all today but he knows where I am. I just want to get into the 13s asap - want to put as big a gap between me and those 15s as poss as NEVER want to be that weight again! It's my birthday on 27 May and marks the low point last year when my self esteem hit rock...

Yay day 5 done and dusted...not hungry and totally in the zone. SS is sooooo much easier!! Have felt quite light headed today but I didn't sleep well last night. J's dad has been taken off his heart meds and put on 24 hour pain relief...doesn't sound good at all to me, but I haven't said that to...

Yeah I did the same! So so glad, there is nothing in my wardrobe over a size 16 so I have to keep my weight down. I want to get down to 13 stone but I am starting to consider aiming for 11 stone now. Not sure, will need to be careful as don't want to look old. I'm going to see P!nk on Sunday...

Oh join the club missy!! I've only been back on it 5 days so seriously don't feel bad. At least you are facing up to it. We'll get there in the end...just think how far we've come already!!! xx

Day 4 almost done and been 100%...definitely have my mojo back! I'm missing spending time with J but know this is the right thing to do, we text daily but nowhere near as much as we were before but at least the contact is there and he knows I am there for him. So wish things were different...

Yay day 3 completed!!! I know that this time I am back in the zone and cannot piddling wait to get into the 13s. The last 4 months have been such a struggle but I'm firmly of the view that it was those winter months. Funny how the sun is out and spring is in the air and I've slipped back into my...

Thanks Kira - i dont feel strong! Day 3 nearly done and really not feeling hungry which seems strange as I am normally starving on day 3 and getting horrific headaches. Starting to get that ketosis feeling in my mouth too...xx

Scales say 4lbs off since Sunday x

Early night didn't happen - spent 3 hours on the phone to J talking things through. He's admitted he finished it because he thought I would get frustrated with him not being able to commit loads of time as he's helping his mum care for his dad. I've told him to get a grip - that's my choice to...

Almost made it!!! Just been dumped so finding it hard not to hit the wine...I am not going to let my demons ruin this for me though! X

Thanks lily! I am very determined to shift the extra pounds ASAP and get myself back on target - I was relieved I wasn't heavier as I have been eating large portions. I am going to have to do some work with myself on learning portion control if I am going to keep the weight off after CD! It's...

Thanks Kira, it's not easy as its bringing back a lot of painful memories of when we lost mum but there is no room for self pity - I just need to not think about me and be there when he needs me to be there. To be fair he's not asking much, he Is spending a lot of time with his parents and...

Hmmmmm well here is me skulking in with my head hung low.....just been to see my CDC and climbed on the scales and I am back up to 15st2 Had a chat with my CDC and I am now SS for the first time, I've decided me and food are not friends at the moment so I am just eating the space food. So what...

I've lost a lot of weight on this plan and it's so worth it, in the first week break the day down between meal times and drink LOTS of water - ull b fine xxx

Can take up to 5-6 days. Take ibuprofen and paracetamol and ull be fine...stick with it!!! Xx

U can have porridge and soup from the start lovely xxx

I've seen ur post about losing 5lbs thats fantastic....well done!!!! I've woken up feeling 100% better today - slept so heavily last night and it's done me the world of good. I hopped on the scales and that was enough motivation to stop going off plan. I'm going to go for a small run tonight...

Thanks Kira, I've had Dad cook me my tea tonight bless him. He insisted that I needed red meat, so he grilled a rib eye steak and a jacket potato. I had some green & black's plain chocolate as a treat. I have to say I feel soooo much better. I've donated blood loads of times, but I normally...

I wouldn't say it helps u lose as such - CD does that all by itself! It is toning more than anything - I've noticed a massive change in my bum and legs and my stats on the lower half are a lot smaller than they have been historically - I've always had quite a big bum and chunky thighs x

It really is Kira - it makes it so hard. Ironically only one person is what I would class as overweight but everyone says they've put weight on since working there. I fainted this afternoon after donating a pint of blood - probably because I stuck to plan and didn't have the substantial...

The advice is to be sensible, don't exercise if u r feeling dizzy or light-headed. If I r SS be very careful as u have to consider u'r vlcd intake will minimise u'r energy levels....that said I walk 5 miles a day, run 2-3 miles every other day and ride and I've been fine. But I am doing SS+ and...

Wow that is high - get urself rehydrated :) Yeah I am at work...bloody sandwiches and cakes have joined the pasties. It's a bloody killer today :( Just donated another pint of blood so feeling very virtuous and I will avoid that food at all costs!!! xxx

Bloody pastries are in the kitchen again!!!!! It's really starting to annoy me now - this place is rediculous xx

Hi Lauren - I lost 5 stone in that time so it's achievable. I u don't quite get there you will be close and look and feel amazing so it's worth a crack :) xxx

Right....fresh start....I will be 100% today....promise!!! xxx

Bit shocked, more worried about my Dad as he's taken the news hard. He never met anybody else after Mum died so his friends are very close. I'll be ok - I always am :) xx

Awful awful night...we found out tonight my a very close friend and neighbour of my Dad for many years has passed away. Just tragic. I feel very shallow admitting I have drunk wine and eaten things I shouldn't yet again. Emotional eating...yes. Lack of willpower...yes. Who cares. Its brought...

Edinburgh is lovely - I have friends there too lol!! Well survived the day - I've drunk 3.5 litres and stayed 100% even though there was bloody Jaffa cakes in the kitchen today. Yet more treats...!!! Drives me mad :( xxx

Lucky you!!! A close friend of mine is in Singapore and she has an amazing life over there :) xxx

Ahh lucky u!! I'm starving, just had to have my bar an hour early lol!! Have drunk 3 litres now. Looking forward to tea already :) Where r u based?? Xx

2 shakes down and 2 litres is water drunk. I'm so far surviving day 2 of the 7 day challenge!! My new mantra: I will be skinny....I will be skinny.....I will be skinny!!! Hahaha!!! xxx

Lol the chat was lovely - no candlelit dinner!! Just a gin and slimline tonic in a local bar and a good convo :) might have had a cheeky snog at the end but that's all haha!!! He's a great guy but definitely not boyfriend material lol - we're good mates though and I do enjoy the odd night out...

Mmmm Cajun chicken is one of my favourites....if u check the book it's not on the list but it suggests u use fresh herbs, balsamic vinegar and lemon to add flavour to food :) xxx

Lemon doesn't effect ketosis - u r allowed it if u r doing SS+. I've been doing CDC since July and have lost 81lbs and have lemon all the time!! If u read the book u will see it recommends lemon juice to add flavour to the limited food allowed xx

If u'r stick is faint u r not in ketosis - icing is very high in sugar and the calories will slow any weightloss this week. I always use the philosophy: do I want to have [whatever is tempting me] more than I want to lose 3-4lbs this week. It normally works and I make the right choice :) xx

Right here is the 7 day challenge guys - basically 7 days of sticking rigidly to the plan for a full 7 days and making sure u drink all the water allowance - and more if u can manage it!!! I am back on plan, I've had a litre of water and 2 shakes. Will have a lemon bar at 3pm then a mushroom...

I am totally rubbish guys :( I ended up getting VERY drunk last night - I drank wine, cocktails, champagne....u name it I drank it! Even ate chips on the way home but didn't eat many as they weren't very nice thank god! I have the mother of all hangovers today and feel like death warmed up. I...

Feels amazing Jilly!!! So pleased - I'm off out tonight so looking forward to that. Have promised myself no to wine but I will have a few vodkas ;) xxx

I think it really does depend on how strong u r when faced with strong criticism and the "you will pile the weight back on when you come off the diet" comments. You will get them and at times it is boarding on rude. Work were the first people who knew about it and to be fair they were...

Hello there!!! The first week is a toughie but boy is it worth it when u get to WI! Be prepared for the detox headaches and feel pretty hungry for the first 3-5 days but once u'r tummy starts to shrink and ketosis kicks in u will b fine :) Good luck!!! xxx

We can totally do this!!!! Ah it's lovely to be able to see your lovely face now :) xxx 7lbs off this week......I am completely back in the game :D xxxx

I've weighed myself this morning and I am 14st8! I've lost all the weight I put on over those horrible 3 weeks, totally back on focus and my ketostix confirm I am back in ketosis...not been in ketosis for months :) WI at 10 so wish me luck guys ;) xxxxx

Awwww fanks!!!! I really mean it when I say I'd never have lasted so long on CD without these guys. Amazing support from amazing ladies :D Lol the lift was horrific, I don't actually know how I managed to not shove my face in them all. What a killer?!!! The pastries in the kitchen at work...

I've been on SS+ since the start as you know, my CDC thinks I'm doing well enough to not have to SS, so I'm not going to argue with her lol! Yes let's sort a mini challenge!!! What's this week's suggestion?!! Totally up for that xxx

Ah I was 14st10 this morning so u've caught me up on super speed time - well done!! U'll b overtaking me at this rate lol!!! I swear to god we are somehow psychically linked - I went for a run yesterday!!!!! My colleagues have put my name down with them to do the Birmingham half marathon in...

So glad u r feeling a bit better Kira! At least u have 3 days before u'r next PT session, gives u'r body time to recover :) How are u finding S+S - must admit I am wondering on whether to move over as CD is so expensive - that said I feel I owe it to my CDC to stay as she had supported me so...

Oh thank you so much Suzie! It's u guys who keep me going - I kind of knew when I started this diary that it meant I had to commit 100% and not fail because I would look a failure to the entire world. I'm very stubborn and hate being proved wrong so my stubbornness is doing something positive...

Oh I hope so Jilly!!! I measure myself once a month and weigh myself on a daily basis - I jump on the scales naked as soon as I've got up and had my morning wee ha!! I wouldn't worry about the measurements too much, just see where u r on a monthly basis. My bras r started to get looser so think...

Wow I am always blown away when I hear people have taken the time to read all my ramblings!!! Thank you for u'r kind words. It's definitely been a bumpy ride but i've only just realised just how far I've come - its not just been about the weight, but realising that it's about the fact I was...

Hello gorgeous!!! I actually let out a little scream when I heard u r now in the 14s - I'm soooo happy for u!! I was 14st11 this morning. I'm bloody determined NEVER to see the 15s ever again!!! We decided that we needed to set ourselves a challenge to stick to our plans 100% for 3 days because...

Oh no!!!! So sorry u r feeling awful Kira :( I so hope u get it all sweated out tonight and back to normal tomorrow. Make sure u keep urself dosed up, drink plenty of water and get lots of rest xxxx

Well done on getting through day 3!!! :D Let's stretch it to 7 which will see me well into ketosis and back in the game :)

I totally ignored the pastries...thank the lord!!!! I've had another 100% day so totally smashed this 3 day challenge!!!! I do exactly the same thing when I'm cooking too ha!! Oh and I would normally drink a glass of wine while I am at it. No wonder I was 21 stone last May!! U'r doing...

I am finding today so bloody hard!!! There are so many pastries in the kitchen it's a killer!! I just want to Hoover then all up...today has definitely been the hardest :( just hope I survive the afternoon!! xx

Well here is me checking into day 3 - it's payday and I normally treat myself to a latte when I get to the train station but i decided its treats that have stalled my progress so no treats for me!! Ha!! Feeling rather pleased with myself I have to say :) Jilly - men are so bloody frustrating at...

Oh no!! Look don't let him get in the way of your dreams - I fell into that trap recently and i saw a 6lb weight gain. No man is worth that. Hope the bath helped relax u. Tomorrow is a new day lovely :) xxx

Yay!!! That's great news - only one day left of the 3 day challenge - lets see if we can stretch it out to 7. I'm pretty sure that will see u back to where u want to be and will set me on my way to reaching my next target :)

So far so good - today we have cakes in the kitchen at work!! This place is unbelievable for treats!!! I had a warm shake for breakfast and a cold one for lunch. Planning on a lemon bar at about 3pm. I've drunk 3 litres of water so far. All is good....WE ARE GOING TO SMASH THIS :)

My mini goals r to first loose a stone from the weight I am today - which takes me from obese to overweight on my body mass index. My second is to lose 12lbs to get me to 13st which is just a stone off my main target - then its the final push down to 12st. I'm expecting it to take me approx 3...

I totally understand where u r coming from - u really do echo how I felt 6 months ago. I've been through a very similar time and it knocks the stuffing out of u. I found that food really was a comfort but it made me even more miserable when I was piling on the pounds. How much have u lost so...

Thank u!!! :) x

Oh I hope so GG! That's what I am aiming for really. My GP wanted to refer me for gastric surgery and was starting the process off, it was the last thing I wanted which is why I had to dig deep and sort it myself. Here's to day 2 lady!!! :)

I hear what u r both saying too. I out 6lbs on and could really feel it. As a size 14-16 my clothes still have room in them but man I could feel it round my neck and tummy. Not a nice feeling at all!!! You will do it - u r one of the most determined people I've come across :) x

Day 1 of the 3 day challenge over!! I did it!!!!! Absolutely 0 cheating for the first time in god knows how long! Thanks everyone for being an awesome support....here's to day 2 :) xxx

Believe me if I can shift it, anybody can! U will do just fine I'm sure of it!! I would have crashed out of CD months ago if it hadn't been for this wonderful site and the fantastic people on here - its amazing how u come to rely on people u have never met and are able to open up about this...

Ahhh Kira - i know how u'r feeling and it's really hard coming to terms with the fact we are always going to have to measure and watch what we eat...it's taken me 40 years to realise that the buck stops with me. Our brains are complex things and I do believe that a lot of my cheating had been...

Hey guys - totally echo GGs advice. The Cambridge book actually states that it is for a MAXIMUM of 12 weeks or for as long as you can manage. I am wondering if it may be a good time to have a week of SS+ to help with the eating urges u r experiencing. The problem with eating is that you then...

Well I know what my real problem is....I like to push the boundaries and think I'm getting away with stuff!!! Not very clever I know but I do it in every aspect of my life. At the end of the day this diet costs over £40 per week and all I am doing is wasting my money and giving me less chance is...

Ok I have a confession...I've slipped up :( bloody boss has brought shed loads of chocolate and chocolate biscuits into the office and I have given into temptation...one twirl finger which is bad enough but I had 4 chocolate biscuits...4?!!! What the hell is wrong with me?!!! Anyway I am putting...

Morning weigh ins are the best!!! I like them a lot ;) xx

I am terrible on WI I totally fast - if it's a morning WI I have nothing until afterwards. If its an evening WI I have one shake all day and just enough water to keep me going and then I have a bigger tea and catch up with my water afterwards. I'm sure I will have people up in arms about wot...

That's exactly what i do - i don't use my milk allowance at all but I do treat myself to a skinny latte on a Friday morning. U still need treats. U may get the detox headache this week but paracetamol will do the trick. U will b fine!!!! Take it day by day and the time will fly - remember drink...

Just thinking out of the box a bit but u could dice up some chicken breast and stir it into one of the soups - just a thought! I've heard talk of a stock used on here too but can't remember which one is ok. Do u eat fish? U have huge fish and prawn allowances on this so it's a good option to...

U will lost that really quick - I lost a stone in 2 weeks when I started; 9lbs in week 1 and 5lbs in week 2. Mushroom omelette is amazing I use 2 eggs and 2 chestnut mushrooms. Skinned and bones thighs with hot and spicy seasoning and broccoli is another meal I have once a week. If in doubt...

Shall I be honest - I have ignored the portion advice since day 6 I think. I will take a photo of my tea tonight and post it here so u can see what I eat. I don't tell my CDC wot i do and she doesn't ask. Tonight I am having salmon but only because I've got my TOTM and I seem to crave it during...

I've been doing Stage 2 since July and lost loads. It's hard at first but u will soon get used to it - I had a 2 egg mushroom omelette last night it's one of my regulars. I have cod a lot with lemon or lime juice squeezed over with a salad of lettuce, spring onion, cucumber, radish and celery...

Hi - I have most of my shakes warm. I normally boil the kettle and pour 2 fl oz of cold water into a jug and then add 6 fl oz of boiled water in - I then add the powder and whizz up with a hand blender. It works perfectly every time, no lumps, and I am fine so can't see it's killed off any...

That's just what my sister does GG - she's maintained a fabulous figure for 7 years now and has even had a baby in that time and pinged back into shape using that approach. She doesn't eat bread in the week either but has it as a treat for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. I also think that's...

Clothes are the big thing for me too - my friends all work for shops like Zara, All Saints, Top Shop and Arc Trading. They are so supportive of my weight loss and it's been a huge spur for me to now fit into size 14 skinny jeans from Top Shop!!! I have a big wedding over August bank holiday...

Thanks GG - oh I do hope I can finally get into the 13s, feel like I have been yoyoing between the 15s and 14s forever!!! I'm going to break the cycle though. You've done fantastically well to keep below your target weight since September - it really is inspirational. They do say maintenance...

Ah Kira you are so right - yesterday was a killer. I always find the weekend hard as I have to prepare my son's meals and cope with avoiding leftovers. I'm breaking the day down by sections. Going to have my breakfast at 10, lunch at 1 and a snack bar at 3 then holding out until 8 when I'll have...

Thank you Theresa!!! Well ladies the scales say..............14st12!!! I am back in the 14s and back showing how it's done hahaha!! Very pleased to have lost 2lbs yesterday. The period arrived and I drank 3 litres so I think a combination of the 2 has helped. So glad to b seeing the results to...

Hey I found your diary!!! The question of whether to socialise on CD is an interesting one - I've been doing this since 15 July and I simply couldn't put my life on hold whilst I loose over 100lbs, it's just not realistic. So I think if CD is a quick fix then it's fine to abstain from social...

Thank u!!!!! That's just what I needed to hear :D it's amazing how quickly the pounds can creep on if u go off plan - to be honest my eating and drinking habits have been shocking for the last 2-3 weeks so I think I've got off lightly! It's all about the future and focussing on getting where we...

Well already lost 2lbs in 2 days which were not officially recorded. I know a lot of it is water as my period is due and my glycogen levels will b up with the sort of food I have been eating. I know I will get that shifted in a week - id like to lose a bit more but fear that is being greedy. My...

Well I have been officially weighed and shamed - I haven't seen her since end of January and I've put 6lbs on. I am so determined to get this sorted. I will be slim!!!! xxx

Thank you everyone - I am going to admit that I slightly slipped up yesterday. My old nemisis of cheese and chocolate mini rolls I am afraid! I have had a serious word with myself and promise not to cheat and drink lots of water today. Scales are showing I've lost 2lbs which I am pleased about...

Well people I made it through yesterday and water quota, so far had a warm vanilla shake for breakfast and a chicken and mushroom soup. I am sipping the water steadily through the day. Feeling a lot more in control - reckon my mojo is back :) Thanks for all your support - its helping me soooo...

Be prepared for lots of posting from me....made it through lunch with a massive plateful of croissants in front of me and guess what?!!! I managed to abstain!! Yay!!! Just an hour and a half until I have my lemon and yogurt bar....I will be 100% today even if it kills me!!! x

I've made it to lunchtime and I am bloody starving!!! I had a warm choc mint shake for breakfast and going to have a cookies and cream shake for lunch. Forcing water down my throat but it's making me gag :( x

All on track to start in the morning - looking forward to it. Just had my last tea and I've just made the most awesome homemade garlic ciabatta...home baked bread, French butter infused with smoked garlic.....yummy!!! That's a treat to remember when this diet finally ends - god I miss baking :( xx

Ok so I have braved the scales - I'm back up to 15st2 but I can get this sorted. Today is my last 'food day' so I can finish what I bought in the food shop. I have worked it out as 950 calories so a lot less than I have been eating the last couple of weeks. Then I am back on plan from tomorrow...

I've already discussed the harassment notice with the Police but there is still criteria that needs to be met even though the no proof rule applies, and I don't have enough...yet. I work in the legal profession so know how the system works and at the moment I don't have enough evidence to...

I know exactly where your coming from Kira - it's a nightmare. This probably sounds extreme but he always seems to strike at weekends so I am going to stay awake at night and be on guard. Next time I am going to catch him in the act so the police have to act. He clearly had psychological issues...

Thanks guys I know I need to take control back. Yesterday saw a new low - the guy I broke up with attacked my car with a hammer during the night (see pic). Police can't do anything as nobody saw him do it. Feeling pretty vulnerable as I know he hasn't finished yet and he did this after zero...

Well here I am.....crawling in with my head hung low. I've had an awful 2 weeks. I well and truely fell off the diet wagon and I was too ashamed to own up. I've discovered I am still an emotional eater and probably always will be :( My CDC texted me today and we've spoken today. I'm seeing...

Thanks Kira, it's been awful but I am just looking forward and not letting him drag me down. I had a fantastic night with my best mate and his boyfriend last night and he made me feel a million dollars with compliments. Feeling rather fragile today and had a roast dinner at lunchtime to aide...

Thanks everyone....i'm afraid yesterday I ate food I shouldn't and know I was comfort eating. Basically I am being harassed by the guy I finished with last weekend and it got so bad yesterday I had to call the Police in. Feeling pretty **** at the moment....GG was totally right about him!! xxx

I am really struggling at the moment :( I have been starving hungry the last 2 days and cheated....bloody self sabotage or what?!!! Still weigh 14st9 thank god but I really need to knuckle down. It's my best friend's b'day tomorrow and we have a huge night out planned...will be super good today...

Hahaha - there certainly are! Had dinner cooked for me by a bad boy in Sunday...hours after I dumped my ex. Just so happens he is a rough and ready biker boy, tats, lots of attitude - just how I like them...oh and he's a millionaire lol!! He's gone to work in Oz for a couple of weeks and got...

Awwww bless u!! Well according to him I'm evil and I've broken his heart....perhaps I was a bit callous about it but when I decide it's over I don't mess about or try to soften the blow. How's things with u gorgeous?? xxxx

Thanks Kira! I'm surprised how much my face has changed - it's not round anymore lol xxx

Thanks Theresa - I am feeling really flattered that she's suggested it - especially as there are guys on here who have done far better than me. Time to knuckle down and get to target :) xx

Thank u!!! I'm ok - relieved if anything!! My CDC has started talking about putting me forward for Slimmer of the Year! Would like to shift another 2 stone before she does anything though! xx

Just got back from WI, I lost 3lbs so officially 14st9. Pretty happy with that given I am on my period and it was an evening WI. I always weigh myself first thing in the morning. Well this weekend has seen some massive changes, I've ended my relationship. It had started going wrong for me a...

Well glad to report scales say 14st9 this morning!! Woohoooooo!! Thats 3lbs off since Tuesday :D xxx

Well another day down...would have been perfect had I not eaten 2 choc brownie bites...it was my friend's b'day and she brought them into work, it was too hard to resist! Met another friend in Starbucks at lunchtime but I was very virtuous sipping on a big mug of green tea, so quite proud I...

Good advice Lily - I swear by mouth sprays since starting CD. I use retardex, it's brill! :)

Yep totally agree - ketosis just helps take an element of hunger away. I'm not in ketosis and haven't for the last 2 months, but not too concerned about it. I don't ever ask my CD for advice now because I can predict what she'll say - that said she was really good advising me on what I can eat...

That is ridiculous advice - the Cambridge website says take painkillers to get through to headaches experienced in the first couple of weeks. Makes me wonder what some CDCs actually know about this diet!!! x

It's all to do with ketosis - they say the artificial sweeteners tip u out of ketosis. Personally after we've all been doing it so long we've found our own strategies. I never follow the advice now and use my own judgment. Coke zero is my saviour when I need to coke fix xxx

I would take some meds which will sort u out - I was like that yesterday xxx

Not sure, I take dulcolax if I'm uncomfortable xxx

Ha ha ha!! I know, bit of a slip up but confident I'm on track to lose a stone in a month which is the main thing :) well done on u'r success too - that's great news x

Lol it seems like that doesn't it?!! Well so far I've stuck to plan today; had a warm mint choc shake for breakfast and a warm cookies and cream shake for lunch. Having a yummy lemon bar at 3pm...I've drunk over 1 litre of water so I'm back on track. Feeling super tired so will go home, have a...

Scales say 14st10 this morning! I went out for a meal last night and drank a bottle of wine (woops!!) so knuckling down and being super strict to minimise the damage :-/ xxx

That's fantastic!!!!!! Well done and well deserved :) xxx

Here here!!! :D what a difference a day makes huh?!! So glad u'r back on form, and a skinny summer!!! Xxxx

Bloody hell lady u can see the difference!! That's fantastic - bet u'r buzzing!!! what a record of the incredible shrinking woman hey ;) xxx

Ahhh I bet u have done great - I always think I'm gonna have a pants loss but I'm normally pleasantly surprised! It's not like WW where u only lose half a pound a week ;) talk about soul destroying. Good luck, please let us know how u get on!!! xxx

Hey Sweetpea - I'm doing SS+/stage 2 since 15 July - I always try and split my CD products i.e. I have a porridge/warm shake for breakfast at about 9am, then I have a CD soup for lunch at about 1pm, then I'll have a shake or bar at around 3pm - I then eat my evening meal at around 8.30pm, late I...

Fantastic!!! 6lbs for me!! I'm officially back in the 14s :D xxxx

I get weighed too!!! I hate night time WIs :( xxx GOOD LUCK!!! xxx

Glad it's not just me then!! Ha!!! x

Sounds like u have a lot on u'r plate lovely! I'm in the process of trying to find out if my son has ADHD...it's a long road though and not sure if it's just him being a lively child who won't listen!! xxx

Ahhh thanks T!!!! No need to feel ashamed...I basically ate the contents of the kitchen over Christmas and I am still battling cheating. Its a daily struggle to get through the week without finding myself scoffing cheese and/or chocolate ha!!! I will beat my cravings though xxx

Hi Theresa and thank u sooo much for taking the time to read my ramblings, its been one hell of a journey and I often forget others read it! Glad u have got back on the CD wagon to get to u'r goals...I'm sure u will get there! Plus u will have learnt from u'r mistakes last time. I'm glad u...

Thanks GG, feel like I am getting there....still having the problems with cheating but it is a daily battle and I am just trying my best. I'm totally on a mission to get to my second target of 13st12 ASAP. I'm sick of having the official 'obese' classification and want to be 'overweight'...god...

Omg Claire I am sooo sorry I haven't been around for a couple of days!!! I am so sorry to hear about u'r best mate, but I totally echo what the others have said - he will realise what he could have had when it is way too late. Just promise me that u r going to draw a line under this and move...

My CDC always says its ok to have bars from the start and I've always been fine!! I am sure u will too - its exciting :D xxx

Ahhh Sharon that's a bit of a blow, but like u say, u know u'r ok for money until the end of March and u'r husband has time to look for work - it could mean he lands a much better job!! Really hope u get a good result on Weds, I'm sure it will b good news :) xxx

Welcome Sweetpea!! I totally agree on the maple porridge, it makes me gag too! I used to quite like the apple and cinnamon but can't stand it now. I tend to have a shake warm in the morning and a soup for lunch. You will get amazing results on this plan - I've lost 71lbs since July and I feel...

After organising my clothes, I have now drawn up my 3rd and final target countdown chart. Wow I honestly never in a million years thought I would be doing this, when I think of how low I was back in July - I really had hit rock bottom and a size 24/26. Well here I am, in my dream dress size 16...

Good plan!! I will see what I can organise :) :) xxx

Omg Claire that is awesome!!! I am loving the swap for charity!!! There is nothing like it round here. But a SHARK DIVE!!!!! I have always wanted to do something like that!!! I am fascinated by sharks - i'm soooo jealous!!! I am going to look into it myself, that for me would be an awesome...

Well as I am pretty much snowed in I have been having a massive sort out. I've gone through all my wardrobe and drawers and pulled out everything which was too big. All the clothes that actually fit now have lots of room lol. Going to sort them into 3 piles; one for eBay, the other to take to...

Good thinking batman ;) sounds like u r doing really well!! I weighed myself yesterday and I've lost 5lbs so far - get weighed on Tuesday night so hoping to lose another 2lbs by then. I'm now the same weight I was at beginning of December before my silliness started :) xxx

Kira STOP!!!!!! U know that u need to draw a line under it now and stop the bad habits creeping in - I'm far from perfect but u r way too close to goal to throw it away now. Sit down and draw up a list of why u r doing this, buy urself a target item of clothing, and a chart to knock of the...

Ahhh u know I'm so wishing I'd done an underwear shot now. I'm still not great but do much better than I was!! xxx

I know - I'm super chuffed!!! I have every confidence u will get there this week :) Stay strong, stay focused and u will lose a stone a month - how motivating is that??!!! Keep the faith :D xxx

Hahahahahaha - oh I had an 2 x options hot chocolate, a glass of red wine, a 4 finger kitkat and some cheddar cheese. I am being super strict now for the rest of the weekend to try and make sure I don't gain because of it! It is of course totally the fault of this terrible snow and nothing to do...

I'm in the 14s!!!!!!!! I'm back to my pre-Christmas weight of 14st13 so chuffed to bits xxx

Wooooohooooo I am 15st this morning!!! Here's to a 100% day today....I am determined to claw back my Christmas weight gain by Sunday and officially be back in the 14s again :D xxx

Well I'm already in my pjs - going to iron my son's uniform for tomorrow and have a mega early night. I fear I'll end up foraging in the cupboards otherwise....eeek!! Xxx

I've just eaten cheese....again!! I'm such a loser lol xxx

Ahhh it's tough times at the moment - Angel is right though - could be a blessing I disguise. I have all my fingers and toes crossed that there is a good outcome :) I am sure u will smash this - a whole lovely new u for 2013 xxxx

Ahhh so close to qualifying!!! Must feel great to be on the final stretch :) Well done for getting back on it, how much do u want to lose?? I have 3st to shift and then I'm at target - cant come quick enough - if I can get there by May and my 41st b'day I'll b overjoyed as it was my 40th that...

Good points :) I have drunk over a litre already plus a big mug of lemon and ginger tea, so on course to drink what I should. Seeing the scales so close to the 14s has given me a huge boost. Is it greedy of me to want to be in the 13s already?!!! hahaha xxx

My CD never says not to have the bars from the beginning, I'm having one every day at about 3ish. I'm sticking to SS+ which is what I've done from the beginning, may drop down to pure SS when I get to 13st to shift the last bit of weight. I'm finding dress sizes so frustrating - I'm...

Just jumped on the scales and I am 15st2.1 so I am a slither away from 15st1 - the 14s are soooooo close again!!! WI is Sunday night and I'd bloody love to get back to 14st12 by then! Total 100%, no messing with the rules focus and I'm pretty sure I will. How are u all getting on? xxxxx

Of course I remember you! How's u'r training going? I'm ok, had a bit of a dodgy month with Christmas, been finding getting back into the swing of CD quite hard, but I am taking it day by day and hoping I'm back losing soon. The cold weather makes me just want to cosy up on the sofa with...

I'm the same - I have been rubbish with my water today. Had the nicest CD tea I've had in ages - chicken with celeriac chips (chopped up some celariac and spritzed them in One Cal spray then baked them)....yummy!! I'm going to buy some more and have it with cod on Friday me thinks :D I am going...

Right as today draws to a close I have has another fairly good day...eating cheese has got to stop though!! At least I didn't have any chocolate though which is the first time in ages. I'm going to get on those scales in the morning and see how they r looking....

Ahh I don't think it's so unexpected, whatever u'r history he's u'r Dad and u'r a good person - its always a shock to hear unexpected news like that no matter how close u r to that person. Take u time to digest it and then do whatever u think is best for u. My best friend died suddenly when...

By the way totally understand how u'r feeling - my Dad finds out this week if he has kidney cancer and/or leukaemia. It's horrible horrible times and it's not surprising u'r feeling so low....sending big hugs u'r way missy xxxxx

It's exactly what I put on! That's great - u'll get that off in a week and more :) Just take it an hour at a time....I'm starving and fantasising about cheese and grapes but I'm determined not to cave. Come on - we can do this :) xxx

Right I am half way through the day with no slip ups...I've had a mint choc shake warm for breakfast, cookies and cream cold for lunch and I'm just finishing my first litre of water. I've got a cranberry bar for my 3pm snack and then i just have to survive tonight with no silliness! Xxx

Welcome back lovely!!! Great to see you :) xxx

Ahhhh missy - just hold u'r breath and do the deed - its wot I did last thursday. I totally know how hard it is getting back into it. I've been exactly the same....sit down and write a list about why u started doing this, I know u haven't reached where u want to be so take some time to remind...

Thanks!! With determination and focus I'll get there eventually!! :)

Ahhh Cass I totally know where u'r coming from!! Hard isn't it?!! Another day under u'r belt and another step closer to WI...keep going u'r doing sooo well :) xx

Ahh I read this after I went shopping lol - I've bought size 14 skinnies from Dotty Ps - I'm currently wearing the size 16 version so it's a good benchmark. I think I'll probably cry when I get into them - I was very young when I was last that size. I have drawn up another target sheet which...

Yeah I can see CD being a useful tool - even if it's just doing a fortnight of it occasionally just to sort focus out after Christmas or a holiday. The main thing is living a healthy, active life so u have balance - I can't wait to get to that stage!! I must admit I have been silly and had some...

Ahhh I suffer terrible insomnia during the early part of CD - I'm expecting it to hit around the mid/end of the week! Ketosis is amazing because the hunger will magically disappear - I have to set my alarm clock to remember to eat when I'm in ketosis. Congrats on getting to day 5 - I'm soo...

Hello u! Yes I managed to get through yesterday just about - avoided my son's tea thank goodness!! So far I've had a mint choc shake hot and just having a spicy tomato soup for lunch - trying to make sure I drink the water I should b!! 2013 really is going to be the year we achieve our goal...

Thank u thank u thank u!!! Today is sooooo hard!!! I needed that....early night it is tonight...I'm going to have to dig deep to avoid eating my son's food tonight but I'm determined to do it - I have to get back on track xxx

Awwww Cass thank u - u have no idea what a boost that message has given me! It's day 1 of being back on plan and I'm already struggling. It doesn't seem 5 minutes since I was 18 stone, the time goes so quick on this plan. I cant quite believe I was 21 stone back in May and I'm now 6 stone...

It's virtually impossible, I'm having tea with him, my son and his daughter tonight before she heads back to Uni tomorrow but I've told him after tonight the eating/drinking is stopping until I get to target - I think he got the message when I rocked up at his house with my shakes and hand...

Lol wise words GG - there is no chance of me doing anything serious for 12 months and he knows that. I can be very very difficult and I know I'm not easy to live with so I don't want to rush into anything I would regret. He's got a very strong personality, but so have I so I'm sure there will...

Coming up to 2 months since we met GG - so we're still in the stage of meals out/drinks being a big part of our dating - this is wot I'm trying to stop as CD is important to me. One of my closest friends is getting married in August and I really want to be at my target weight by then xx

Well tried to show him my book and and explain what I'm doing...his response..."how about pizza for tea?" - and yes he was being serious! We've had a row. Well if he's not going to be supportive then I am just going to have to be stronger, he kept saying yesterday that he doesn't want me to...

Ahhhh honey getting back on plan is EVIL - I've been struggling too as I know others have too so u'r not alone. Draw a line under it and refocus after daughter's b'day :) xxxxx

God I am totally understanding the problems getting back to plan - I have been completely rubbish. I went to see my CDC last night and she confirmed I am now 15s4. Bf is taking me, Dad and my son out for a Chinese tonight and he's having a meal for his daughter tomorrow before she goes back to...

I was feeling the same lady - we both know that the first week back on track is always a killer but the results are quick - u'd be in the 14s in u'r first week :D xxxx

Totally back in the zone...scales say 15st3 this morning so pretty confident I will pull back my Christmas weight gain before WI :) cannot wait to get back in the 14s, I'm feeling such a lard ass at the minute. Part of me is glad I indulged as I do think I was suffering from diet fatigue - but...

Well another 100% day under my belt - currently battling a massive urge to drink wine as a Friday treat. I will NOT give in!!! Going to have my tea and an early tonight - my first 3 days in my new job have wiped me out! Quite looking forward to my daily weigh in tomorrow to see if I have lost...

Couldn't agree more! I am very very wary - I lost a lot of money when I broke up with my partner of 10 years and will never have a joint bank account again, my son's dad left me when I was 4 months pregnant. The good side is I currently live with my dad and the bf owns his own place, he...

Hello gorgeous!!! Great to have you back and focused :) I lost the plot over christmas too - didn't help that I've fallen in love and all we've done is go out for meals and drinks since we met. I've also got back into old habits of drinking way too much wine :-/ Still we find ourselves in...

Right I got together some courage this morning and stepped on the scales for the first time in a while.....as suspected I have gained a fair bit....15st7!! Yesterday would have been a 100% day if I hadn't eaten a bar of dairy milk after the bf went home - it was bloody midnight and I wasn't even...

Hahahahahaha!!!! Oh that did make me chuckle! Well I'm with you on that score - Lord knows what I weigh but it won't be pretty! I start my new job today so I am off to the Big Smoke, I am back on plan tomorrow and can't bloody wait as I can feel I have put weight on. My skinnies still fit though...

Wise words Kira - I've decided I am SSing when I go back on plan as want to get myself sorted asap, the bf is an amazing cook but he knows my weightloss is important to me so I'll make sure he reigns in the portions tomorrow. He wants to lose weight in the NY so hopefully he'll be wanting to...

Ha ha ha yeah I am super happy at the moment; he met my Dad and Son yesterday and I'm going for tea at his house tomorrow and meeting his teenage daughter - so looks like it is all going in the right direction for a change! Diet has been terrible, we ended up going out for a Chinese yesterday...

Arrgggh I've had a disaster of a day - 2 cookies, one choc biscuit, one 10" Hawaiian pizza and a bottle of the red....in the words is Craig Revel Hallwood....DISASTER DARLING!!! On the plus side I am massively loved up and Mr A treats me like a princess :D :D :D xxx

Ha ha ha ha!!! Probably a bit optimistic even on CD!!! We r going to smash this diet in the next few weeks and look fabulous :D My girls (and my gay mates) always come before men; always have, always will. I'm seriously thinking about letting Mr A meet my family soon; he'd get on like a house...

Lol I think we were twins separated at birth ha!!! I've just had enough of eating, the thought of going back to just shakes and soup makes me feel healthier somehow - which is a bit mental I know. Funny how our habits have changed so drastically. Met the new guy a few days ago (Mr A) and at...

Omg - today's meal has completely finished me off and I am seriously looking forward to returning to a life of space food...what a difference 2 weeks makes!! I am totally fed up with rich food and my tummy is protesting at all this normal food. Don't think I've put on that much though and all my...

Happy happy Christmas everybody!!! Hope you're all having a wonderful day :) I'm streaming with cold but still loving how excited and happy my little man is xxx

I know Christmas is a minefield of temptation! I've put 3lbs on so far - I'm sticking to 900 calories a day until Christmas day then 2 days of normal Christmas fun then I'm back on it 100% from Thursday. I'm not going to stress because all of this will be put right, to be honest the thought of...

I seriously think u and me have the same life Claire ha ha ha!!! I've not dieted for a week, I've not put any weight on so I'm happy with that and I've been very naughty drinking LOTS of wine and eating far too many treats, 27 Dec I am back on it like a car bonnet and will do the big push to...

Wise words!! I've had a big ponder and decided to ease off CD for the Christmas period. The date on Weds went really well and I'm out for a meal with him tonight. I've got lunch dates in my diary for every day next week with colleagues wanting to go out before i go. That coupled with Xmas I've...

I'm feeling the same - I have my team Christmas party and leaving drinks next week plus going out loads at lunchtimes with people who want to see me before I go - my last day is 28th and a lot of people are off work then. Im then into xmas and ive got a crazy NYE planned, then im doing my...

Ok so plans tonight have completely changed - I'm off out with a boy and yes I will be having a drink so I'm going to have poached egg on toast for tea. I'm giving blood in the morning so will have some proper porridge as u have to eat a decent breakfast before giving blood. Think I'm going to...

Does it sound bad that I feel so much better it's not just me? I'm wondering if it's the freezing weather mixed with christmas looming that's playing havoc with our brains?! I suspect I'm just justifying my rubbish willpower!! Since my previous post I've eaten a bag of frazzles and 2 mini...

I am back up to 15st1 this morning - this silly eating has got to stop and stop now!!! I am going to log everything I eat again and make sure I stick to plan - so far I have had a mint choc shake and I'm about to have a choc tetra for lunch. Will have a cranberry bar when I get home after my...

:( :( :( sounds like a bad case of shooting the messenger! You did the right thing, she's obviously got zero morals - all will come out in the end but doesn't help how you feel right now. My ex who I was with for 10 years cheated on me with some girl from his past and her sister in law told me...

Arrrggghhhh don't know what is wrong with me but I am super struggling at the moment - this cold weather is making me crave carbs and stodge. It's so so hard at the moment :( xxx

That's a great loss Adam!!! I've been averaging that and that is a good loss for the second week - my friend lost 2lbs at her second week WI and I also know people who lost nothing. Really don't be too hard on yourself - your doing brilliantly :D

Ah we all need to have a break occasionally lovely and u've been to hell and back this week with those stones. I had salmon fillet and salad with a bottle of red and a block of sugar free chilli chocolate lol....ooops!!! Bloody weekends are my downfall. I'm being good today though and having a...

Lol sometimes it just gets a bit too much to bare - I've never been tolerant of people who brag ;) xx

Thanks lovely Kira - you are always such a support to us both :) I have to say I agree, I had a salmon fillet with a salad last night and i really enjoyed it - I know strictly speaking its not on plan but it is high protein and lots of healthy omega 3 going on :) It really sounds like your...

Arrrgggghhhh there are times this diet is so bloody hard! The family are all chomping on buttery crumpets - I bloody adore crumpets!!!! :( I will stay strong....I will stay strong.....I will stay strong. It was crumpets that helped me me get fat in the first place. I drank a bottle of red with...

I'm message u lol xx
