I'm in, I'm on day 5.. My weigh day is Tuesday Netty007: 20lb target - 0lb lost - 16lb to go

Stick with it Yummy, take it a day at a time and be proud of yourself every single night when you know you've nailed another day I would say be cautious with adding foods in if you're on 100% TS as it can soon escalate to incorporating foods regularly, old habits can creep back in and also you...

Welcome and good luck Bex, you'll soon get into it. I'm a restarter, on day 5 and going strong.. When you get on those scales, just think... This is last time I'll see this number x

I really like the curry and also carbonara, with the slag bol I like to add some chilli, garlic and herbs to bring it to life a bit :-) Having previously followed CWP I'm really pleased with the variance in products with Exante.. So much choice

Hey so glad everyone is back, I've not been on for a few weeks as it all went a bit quiet... Well done for getting back on plan. I've had a hit and miss couple of months, thankfully I've hovered rather than gaining so am still 4.5 st lighter than I was in Jan 2013... Still got another 35lbs to...

That's really good progress Cazza, you're doing so well... And 7 stone... WOW that's amazing progress... If you've only gained 2lbs whilst going through two ops you'll be fine on your hols too :-)

S just coming up to the end of day 4 100% SS and feeling good, it's been a struggle today but I've made it woo hooo! :-) Unfortunately having to go on 810 fri-mon as away with in laws and family but determined to stick with it x

Hiya On days that I do gym I have half a bar about an hour before exercising, I find it really helps me and gives an extra energy boost. I figure with the amount of calories burned at the gym an extra half a meal won't make a difference... Works for me... :-) Good luck and well done for gymming x

Hey how is everyone doing? I've not been on the boards for a while but have still been on CWP on and off... Wish I'd been more regimented with myself as I would have been losing at a faster rate but i can't beat myself up as I've managed to get to -62lbs from where I was at the start of the...

Awww Sal, you CAN do this you just need to find what spurred you on at the start of the year. Week in week out you were the strong one, your posts kept me motivated. Just think how much lighter you are now than 1st January. Please don't give up. What can we do to help xxx

I have done c25k previously, Its such a gradual build up that I'm sure you'll be fine. Listen to your body though and stop if you need to :-) Good luck x

Well done on taking the first step, just stick with it over the next few days and drink drink drink... You'll soon be in ketosis and will lose the hunger. Good luck to both of you on your journey x

WOW, Caz you are awesome... well done, you are doing so well and continue to motivate me... please keep on going :) I've had a 10 day break, had a weekend in Perpignan, my birthday, in-laws over to stay... its been on thing after another... think I needed the break though as now crave CD, Day...

Aww I'm sorry to hear your having a tough week, 4 stone down already is awesome, really huge achievement you should be really proud of how far you've come already... Stick with it and that belt will get a little further round week on week. You're doing really well with your exercise and I love...

I'm good Caz hope you are too... How you getting on this week? X

Hey Caz, well done on your 3lbs :-) I'm feeling pretty good this week, have given myself a kick up the backside and think I'm back in the zone again (at last!!!) let me know how you go with the mix a mousse, I've not tried it yet. Was thinking I might get some this week x

You look amazing, glad you had a great time... You'll shift the 7lb in no time and the rest. Sometimes a holiday break from CD is just what you need, you'll back in ketosis in no time at all with those pounds dropping off xxx

Hi lovely peeps, hope you are all staying strong. Ive just been catching up on the thread from the last week or so, it sounds like we've all been having a tough time. I'm in exactly the same position, I had a weekend down in London and then a night out with my old boss in the same week... I...

Yaaaay well done Yvonne that's brilliant. Keep it up you're doing so well :-) How's the consulting going? Xx

Well done on your 3lbs :-) x

Aww Sal it's horrid isn't it, we were hit with it at the start of the year, and had it twice.. It's rubbish that you have to be at work too when you're so under the weather... When is your next chance for a break x

I'm so sorry :-( xxx

Well done on your loss Lily :-) I've had WI this morning, lost another 4lb yippeeee new total 26lbs :-) xxx

Yaaaay :-)

Well done on your 4lbs Sal, all back on track again now x

TOTM affects a lot of us that way, I bet you'll see a great loss at next WI x

Brilliant Sal, gotta love the great NSV's xx

Well done, really great loss x

Yaaaaay well done that's brilliant xx

WI today, lost another 4lb bringing my total to 22lbs, well on track for my 2 stone in 8 weeks.., am on day 36 now. Loving CD, there's no other diet I could lose weight at this pace... It's brilliant! :-)

I like mushroom, chicken & mushroom, oriental chilli soups... I usually add 12-14 floz of hot water, black pepper and bit of cayenne pepper. Gives them more flavour x

Sal - good to hear things are moving in the right direction for you again... I'm sure it'll start picking up some pace again now x Cazza - hope you're ok and manage to get some decent pain relief x Had my WI today, lost 4lb this week which I'm delighted with as it brings my total to 22lbs...

Hope I didn't offend with my comment hun, wasnt aimed at you as talking food when on plan is fine, it's just difficult and frustrating when those who come off plan every other day are talking about it in the 100% forum... X

I get weighed on Saturdays, last week I'd lost a total of 18lbs so it's going well.. When I started I had 7st to lose so am hoping to be nearly there by the summer. Looking forward to this weeks weigh in :-) CD definitely does re-educate you on portion control and good and bad foods. Try doing...

Hiya, I'm on day 32 now... I won't lie it's not the easiest thing to do if your head is not in the right place. If you are up for it and motivated you will absolutely succeed. The first 3 days were hard as I was really grumpy, hungry and had a bit of vertigo, ketosis kicked in at day 5 and it's...

Random question - Does anyone go in for body brushing?? I'm trying everything I can to tone and avoid sagging skin, have read about body brushing in a number of places so thought I might as well give it a shot! My brush arrived today so starting tomorrow I'm gonna give it a go in the mornings...

Go on Mick... You CAN do this :-)

Hah me too, I love toffee & walnut... I've enjoyed all the shakes I've tried, think I've had them all except cappuccino and forest fruits...

Hi, I too have worried about excess skin due to rapid weight loss. I lost 5 stone when I was 20 and had no issues, over the years have put it back on and more. I'm 36 now so do worry what effect it will have on my body. I am totally committed to CD though so am taking measures to help reduce the...

You could try prepping your body before starting, go low carb and drink 2 litres of water per day for 3 or 4 days before you actually start CD. Your body won't be as shocked then x

Have you tried taking Tetras with you when working away to avoid coming off plan? X

Well done on the exercise Cazza, sounds like something you really enjoy which will make it easier to stick with. I've just been to the gym for the first time in months and really enjoyed it, was very conscious not to overdo it so just did 20 minutes cross trainer and 15 mins rowing machine...

Hi Yvonne, not been online for a few days as had a tough week at work, my boss left last week and I've started work for someone else now. I'm a PA so it's like starting a new job when I get a new boss! Quite an upheaval... I've changed CDC as wasn't getting any motivation from my last one, my...

Hi everyone, I've been offline for a few days as had a lot going on at work but have just caught up on the forums. Hope you're all doing ok, sounds like there's a few of us having a tough time, the great thing is from all your updates you all sound really determined to stick with it and...

Where did you go to get measured? It sounds like they were well off last time, it's worth going somewhere like Rigby & Peller as they are true experts, you may pay a little more but the relief you'll get from a true fitting bra will be be amazing. I am praying mine stay the same, I'm only a B...

Aww Ian, you've done it once and you'll do it again. Have faith in yourself, you can do this and get back to goal. Are you back on CD?

Thanks everyone, my mission for tomorrow is to find another CDC. Fingers crossed :-) Hope night shift going ok Sal x

Hi Starlit, just read through your diary and have to say thank you. I've found this so inspiring and love to see when people on CD are totally in the zone its great :) When I started my CD journey on 7th Jan I had 7 stone to lose, I now have 6 to go and although this is a lot I am truly...

Hi all, day 21 for me today. I'm feeling good today as I've gone down another notch on my belt today yippeeeeeee... fingers crossed for another good loss this week. I've decided to look for a different CDC this week as I'm really not impressed by my current one. Fingers crossed I find a good...

Well done Lily, that's really great x

Awwww no, I'm so sorry to hear your news. You've done amazingly well to stay on it considering the circumstances, it must of been a horrific few days for you. Sending my love and best wishes to you, if you need any support or motivation to help get you through just shout xxxx

Fabulous news re herbal and fruit teas, it's nice to get a bit of variation. And well done ladies for getting in your size 18 jeans, I bet you're thrilled to bits. Can't wait to get in mine, fingers crossed for mid Feb... I'm in Bradford West Yorkshire and the snow is coming down heavy :-(

Well done Yvonne that's really good, As long as its coming off your still going in the right direction. And you reached your stone... Congrats xxx I'm on day 19 and still going strong, have been trying some new ways of mixing the shakes. Tonight I had hot vanilla with a shot of coffee, loved...

Good luck with WI tomorrow Yvonne, let us know how you go. I'm sure you'll have a loss and it sounds like you've lost a few inches this week too. Positive thoughts hun, you will do good x

Sorry Ellio what's a ticker?

Hi Ella how are you getting on? Are you finding it ok? Netty x

Well done Mick that's great progress, 2 stone in 3 weeks... Wow :-)

Hi Yvonne, lost 4lbs this week bringing my total to 13lbs, was hoping for 5lb to get my stone but am really happy with this, any other diet would taken me over a month to get that far. It's definitely spurred me on. It's TOTM too so was wondering how it would affect my loss, looks like little...

So 2nd WI complete, lost 4lbs this week... Really happy with that as its TOTM so it's what I expected. 13lbs in total now woo hooo. I love CD :-) Ad you guys too of course, I love reading this forum every night before bed, reminds me I'm not alone in this journey. Xxx

1, definitely tall boots 2, new underwear, can't wait to wear a pretty bra with no overhang!! 3, Super skinny jeans ;-)

Hi Becks, I have 7 st to lose and am in my second week. Well done for taking the biggest step, we'll motivate each other to do this and achieve our goals xx

Oooh really, hadn't though to try strawberry ?

Hi all, was just wondering what shakes you've tried with hot water other than the chocolate ones. I tried the butterscotch this morning and it was lovely served hot. I'm gonna get a couple of vanillas this week to have with coffee, would be grateful for any other suggestions though. I can't...

Hi David, I lost 9lbs in week 1, my next WI is Tuesday. I'm really hoping for 5 but honestly will be happy with any loss. Feeling really positive and do feel a little lighter today which Is giving me a boost :-) how is your weekend going?

Yaaaay well done, awesome x

Yeah definitely more energy getting up in a morning, am sleeping better and am more alert at work which is great... Just having a little whoop woop moment as I do every night when I know I've done another day at 100%, day 13 and going strong. 3 days to WI xx

I would imagine that as long as your total calorie intake is less than what your body needs to function you will continue to lose weight. They say the average woman needs 1960 calories per day but it can vary depending on age, lifestyle etc... You can do a check on weightless resources to...

Well done on your loss Lisa you've done really well. I've got my second WI on Tuesday so fingers crossed. I too have been wondering about a maintenance plan, I'm only in week 2 though and have 7 st to lose so it's a while off for me yet. I might just do a calorie counting diet, that or WW.

Hi Reading your comments about work colleagues is like déjà vu, I've had exactly the same experience at my work. I also made the mistake of telling someone I needed to lose 7 st and the responses were don't be stupid, you can't lose that much, you'll make yourself Ill, it's not a healthy diet...

Wow... Now that's some motivation!

Well done for resisting the chips that's soooo great, I'm in ketosis now so have no appetite but not sure I could resist the smell of those. You've done amazing :-) I have a meal out next Monday argh do I take a shake or do I have meat and green salad and get straight back on the horse in...

WI today, I lost 9lbs in my week 1, thrilled to bits xx

Evening all, well I made it to day 9 and still going strong. Been for my WI tonight and lost 9lb woo hoo, am chuffed to bits... Hope you're all well and staying strong xx

Hiya, I constantly feel like I have something in my throat like a hair... It's really weird. Am taking comfort in you saying it does pass xxx

Awww don't be disheartened Hun, come weigh day you will get the loss. I know it's easier said than done but I would try avoid weighing yourself, I've read so many people on here feeling bad/down/disheartened because they dont see a daily loss. I agree with Lily that its never gonna come off in...

Hi Jodie, welcome :-) I'm on week 1, just completed 7 days 100% on SS. It's been an up and down week, suffered dizzy spells on days 1&2 but have then been ok since, I don't think I'm fully there in my mind yet as its still not the norm for me to not eat real food but I'm managing. I'm sure...

I think weekly measuring is fine, and if you can... try aim for evry other day WI, it's a small step away from a daily WI but may help you :)

Have you measured now? if not i definitely would. MY CDC measured my waist and hips. I've not measured the rest yet as trying to find my tape measure but will do asap x

I'm currently on day 7, am going to wait until i've got 2 full weeks at 100% SS under my belt and then resume my exercise plan. Swimming twice weekly for the first 2 weeks than add 2 gym visits on top of that to build up my running again. One of my mini goals is to run a 5k, with no walking at...

Stay strong hun, go brush your teeth have a little bit of self pampering and have another glass of water before you go to bed. When you wake up in the morning you'll be so proud of yourself for chalking off another successful day xxx

I like the chilli soup, although I can't really taste much chilli but in my normal eating days I'd generally have some form of chilli at least once a day... I'd say try them all once, all our tastes are different. My friend raved about the spicy tomato but I do prefer the chilli. Also like...

Hah me too, get a glass up to the wall! Lol xx

Hi Bexsy, I'm on day 6 and getting weighed on Tues. days 1&2 were challenging for me but I've been ok since, even when hubby has his tea in front of me!! I've not weighed myself either, decided against it after reading the forums on here all week. I've gone down a notch on my belt but other...

Hi surf_hunny may I ask what bouillon you've bought? I may get some next week just for a bit of variation. Is there a limit to how much you can have and is it definitely permitted on SS? Thanks Netty xx

I too have 7 stone to shift it total which is daunting but I'm doing in stages. I'm on day 6 SS and am feeling confident at the moment. Not having WI until Tues (due to work) which will be day 9, hoping for a really good loss. I'm aiming to do 100% SS until my birthday at the end of March and...

Thanks Lily xxx

Can anyone help - is it ok to season the CD soups with salt & pepper? Many thanks in advance x

Hiya everyone, it's day 4 for me and I'm 100% :-) whoop whoop!! I feel like I'm getting into it now, days 1&2 were tough for me with dizzy spells and hunger pangs but thankfully it seems to have passed quite quickly. I've ordered some ketostix online so am hoping they arrive tomorrow and I can...

Sending big hugs Cazza xx

Love love love skinny pig, what a great idea, may have to start something similar. X

Well done, great result :-)

Huge well done @dragondrop and @surfhunny awesome losses this week xx

@starlit_cazza - wow well done that's an amazing start, If I can do half as well I'll be a happy bunny :-) Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and for the encouraging comments, it's a great motivator for me. And I love coming on here to catch up on everyone's progress too. I've just...

thanks everyone, you're all spurring me on... Day 1 going well so far. I was worried initially about the water intake but i've been sipping little and often which seems to help and already had nearly 1.5 litres before lunchtime wooop wooop @surfhunny - I'm gonna try my best to avoid the scales...

Hey hope I can join you guys. I'm starting CD tomorrow for the first time. 7st to go and feeling very motivated even though I know it's gonna be a really tough week. I will succeed x

Great thanks Cazza, will do xx

Hi, I'm a newbie to CD starting tomorrow. I have 7st to lose and would love to be part of a team. Any spaces up for grabs? :-)
