Hi everyone, I'm Jo and I'm a newbie! I'm starting step 2 of the CD tomorrow and am hoping this is the one for me! Iv always struggled to maintain my weight, I'm quite tall (5ft10) and currently weigh 11st9lb and am hoping to get down to about 10st4lb! I would love to hear your stories and experiences regarding this diet xx

I'm on week 2 of Step 2 of CD and I'm loving it. I did feel a little deprived at first, it's odd only having one solid meal a day, but you get used to it very quickly.

Hi, I'm really bad on diets, to be honest I usually try the slimming pills and have spent a fortune over the years to no avail lol! I'm gonna give this 100% though as I desperately want to lose the weight! I'm glad your enjoying it and well done for losing weight already how are you managing drinking loads of water? I hate water so will prob struggle there xx

Black coffee and tea (you can have skimmed milk on step 2) count to your water total as well. Plus the water you need to make your meals with so it adds up, and I have a bottle of water with me at all times at work you can buy flavouring for water, I think it's about £7 but lasts awhile apparently so you might wanna try that.

Thanks Hun, I'll look for the flavouring for the water! Iv heard that you can have green tea as well, iv never had it so might try that! Are you allowed sweeteners in tea and coffee? X

 

[chubbybunny87]

I think so....There's one called 'Stevia' that is 1 calorie per little drop and believe me, it's SWEET so you only need one. They sell it in superdrug xx

Iv just been and bought some tuna and chicken breasts so I'll have chicken and rocket salad for my meal 2morra! I got some of those sweeteners too! Are you allowed fruit or anything in between or do you have to stick to what is on the list of foods they give you? X
