Hi Guys

[ClaireMelanie]

Hi, I'm Claire and I have my first appt with a CDC tomorrow!! I'm very excited about getting going.

Apart from the obvious thing of wanting to look and feel good, the possibility of an operation has stuck a foot well and truly up my a**e!!

Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing the journey with you. Did try Atkins but not for me :sigh:.

Will add my weight etc tomorrow after I've been.

Thanks

Welcome and Good Luck

 

[ClaireMelanie]

Thanks a lot. I'm reading all your stories and I'm very inspired .

Quick question - how much money should I take. I'm hoping to do SS and will she sell things like shakers there to make them up?? Probably silly I know but want to bee WELL prepared (LOL).

Thanks Guys x

If you are going to buy a shaker I would take £50. This will pay for your 1st week supply of shakes (usually between £35-£40) and for your shaker!

TBH - from a cd'er since April, I don't find the cd shaker that good. Blenders however are fab!!

Good luck hun x x x

buy your CD shaker from argos or asda as they are about £3 cheaper from there than a CDC.

all though i do agree with EmmaPetty, blenders are much better, but the shakers give your arms a good bashing!!!! feeling you bingo wings flap about is quite entertaining

 

[ClaireMelanie]

LOL SpecialK. That's funny. I'll take the advice of you and Emma and shoot to Argos. It's just that I work a lot in Commmunity and don't have access to a blender so need a shaker.

Thanks Ladies x

your bingo wings will be gone in a flash, just make sure you give it a good shake, normally about 60 - 90 seconds, well at least untill all the lumps are gone.

i got mine from Argos, they are about £4 and are exactly the same as the CD ones just not got CD wrote on them, which is a god send when you dont want all the world and fred knowing your on the diet

good luck on starting tomorrow, so am i!

lol @ specialk - i didn't think about bingo wings having a workout!!! he he!

ClaireMelanie - you can get battery hand blenders. I carry mine in my bag just incase! Got mine from Tesco for £4.99!!

Best of luck to both of you for starting tomorrow. You will have to join the daily thread and let us know how you get on
