I need to lose 11st and 3lbs in total. It seems like such a HUGE amount and I've yet to read about anyone who has as much as me to lose. I will be on CD for a year (it is only week 1!) Still, better than SW/WW which I would need to be on for about three years to achieve that.
Is there anyone else with more than 10 stone to lose?
Hi I have 12st (168lbs) to lose altogether, start weight 23st 6lbs and i want to be 11st 6lbs my first goal was get into the Teens and as of this morning i have 3lbs to go.
I would like to be 14st by the time christmas is here and then by next february or march i will be at goal and maintaining.
I will never go back to being over weight, doing without food for 3 months has altered my perception of food. It will now be something to keep me alive and to enjoy in smaller quantities with the odd treat (not one every day).
My husband is on CD as well and he says the same, gone are the days of sitting with a bag of minstrals at night and eating crisp butties for breakfast, we will still have food we like but instead of a curry once a week and chips on my day off as well as a macdonalds on a sunday, we will have one or the other once a month.
I had given up on dieting in the last 12 months and stopped worrying about what i was eating and was shocked when i found a diary from last april 08 that i had writen my weight in, I had lost a few pounds, if you had asked me if i had put on weight in the last 12 month i would have said at least a stone.
I now feel as if i can really do this 3 stone down and still going strong.
My weight loss has slowed a bit and the CDC said to have a small meal at night for 7 days, we did for 3 night last week and i hope it will speed thing up again.
So don't feel as if you are the only one, there must be quite a lot of us, some might not want others to know how much they have to lose, but to me if every one knows, it will be all the sweeter when i hit goal and i can say "yes i have lost 12st, arn't i clever."
Also tell people at work, i tell eveyone who asked cus then if i am tempted to eat something at work you can't because you know all their eyes are on you and you don't want to feel silly.
It gets easier the longer you are on CD( i'm on week 10 ) it like a bad habit, the longer you do it the more difficult it is to stop. By the time we don't need to watch every mouthful it will be such a habit we will do it without thinking.
Good luck and keep me informed how you are doing. jane xxxxx
