Hi everyone,
A friend recently recommended CD and I have just started it today - all going well so far and the shakes are much tastier that I expected. I recently lost 7lbs with weight watchers and managed to keep it off however I decided to change to CD as I found WW really slow going - some weeks at weigh in I would have stayed the same weight despite having followed the diet to the letter. I've just been reading through the forum and I am SO AMAZED how well everyone is doing. Its really an inspiration and I hope I'll be able to get through to ketosis. I realise some people seem to think that any diet where you lose quickly ends up just regaining but I'm glad to see all the success stories of people managing to maintain. I also think that seeing real results fast can have a really good affect on your overall ability to reach the weight you want and stay there since you are able to get a sense of your ability to actually lose weight - rather that pretending to diet and just feeling bad about the cheating. Before weight watchers I got into this habit and when you start feeling like weight loss is just a dream its almost impossible to get motivated so I didnt really even try to diet untill recently. One thing that really pushed me to start the CD diet was going out to buy a size 12 dress - I cant fit into it at all at the moment but just looking at it and imagining that one day I will be able to really gives me motivation. I just have a question about bmi and moving up the programmes. Currently my bmi is over 25 but i dont think it will take me to long to get to the 20-25 bracket. I have read some of the previous posts relating to this and was wondering if it is possible to stay on SS after I am under 25 just untill I reach my goal? - I feel like introducing food too much before this might lead me to start cheating and then regain. Perhaps I'm getting a little ahead of myself but reading all these posts has really made me feel like I can get there. Hope you are all well and thanks so much for the inspiration.
