Welcome Tasha 
and hi there clairem87, I was also really excited when I started CD and I still am. I think it's the best choice I've ever made. Hope everyone is having a great week!
My husband hid the scales at my request. I was starting to obsess over my weight. Now I will only see how much I lost when my cdc comes over and weighs me. Much better for me.
Also did anyone else notice how much energy they got once doing this diet? I'm feeling so energetic and I even want to exercise but I'm not sure if it's good. I just want to have a go at the Wii fit and EA active on my wii :s

Had my second WI today and lost 4.4lb. I've now lost 13.4 lb in 2 weeks I'm so happy I'm doing this and I'm going to start excersicing today on my wii!!! I need to loose some of my energy. Did anyone else get incredibly hyper since they've been on the diet?
Hope everyone is doing well!

Why Be Normal?
Hi Cartwoman -- I certainly did the first time I did a VLCD. This time it was not a great of an energy boost -- but it is winter and I have SAD. So, it has probably been affected by that.
Hi everyone else -- I have not been very committed to my diet -- but Lent starts on Wednesday, as will I. I have been trying to be pretty good, enough hopefully not to regain (not sure, though avoiding scales), but not sticking to plan and losing. However, I have to refocus my life -- my friend in the NCCU is improving and I have to redirect my energies to my own family and life. I won't abandon him entirely -- but others need to step up.
Got to go check a few other threads and get things going on the chore front.

Why Be Normal?
Hi All -- Tried to start back for Lent, but it didn't stick. However, my friend (thanks Shanny for asking) was moved to a ward from the NCCU on Wednesday! yeah! So, today is the first day of March and I am back at it. I feel fortunate that I am still 2 lbs below where I started 2010 -- but, I am also still nearly 2 stone from goal. I joined the March challenge after not succeeding at the Vday challenge -- and I hope to make my 12 pounds. If not -- its all good as long as I am working my way back to healthy BMI. I am looking forward to not being overweight!

Congrats Ladies -- You two are so close to goal.
I am on Day 2 of the U.S. Cambridge diet sole sourcing. Yesterday was easy... I was not even a bit hungry all day. However, today I am starving. I am going to drink some flavoured water, have another cup of coffee whilst I watch the news and then get busy with day.
I am trying to hold off on my first shake until lunchtime -- then having my second at "snack time" with Julianne (around 4), when she gets home from school.
We have parent conferences tonight, so I will be able to make their dinner and be busy getting things sorted for the meeting whilst they eat. In a few days, I should be able to sit with them and eat my soup without feeling too deprived.
Then, after I am down to 10 stone 5 pounds -- (I need to lose less than a stone to be there), I will go up in plans and have dinner with my family.
So, I think I am only "not eating" for three or four weeks this time (my guestimate). That is what I weighed when I finished Lighter Life Foundation in 2008, and I lost another stone after that by sort of doing Management and eating Low GI. (I was also exercsing a lot -- so, I will add in some exercise but as much as last time, as that is when I started regaining -- when I stopped exercising. So sustainable levels.)
I hope both of you have a good day. And, Wadpol it is better to be eating if you are going to be drinking. I made that mistake once!
