Hello

I'm Sam and I've been lurking here for a few weeks before trying to pluck up courage to start CD.

I started on Friday so today is day three and so far so good. not been tempted to cheat so far and I definately feel less hungry (physically) today although I still desperately want to eat something if that makes sense.

My starting weight is 18st 1lb:eek: my heaviest weight ever. Im 5ft7 so need to get down to between 10st and 10st7.

It has suddenly dawned on me in the past couple of months that I have been overweight for 10 years now since having my eldest daughter. THats a whole decade of being fat and miserable and I've finally decided enough is enough. I've tried every "main stream" diet under the sun and they never work as I have absolutely zero willpower.

So that's me. I'm hoping you guys will be around to give me several kicks up the bum along the way, and any tips that have helped you lot keep on the straight and narrow would be most appreciated.
 
hello Sam and welcome.
Best wishes for your CD journey, i started 30th Jan and have lost just over 5 stone so it can work!
I find CD flexible and easy to get into the rhythm of it and i'm sure you'll find the same :D

Hi welcome and well done for posting....what took you so long....lol.
I would definately say do not cheat as it is the start to the slippery slope......You must look out for Natayou`s posts she has lost nearly 8 stone and is in week 17 I think. She has not cheated once !

Welcome Sam ;)

I just started on CD a week ago - I warn you this site is addictive, and I've only just discovered the jokes thread and arcade section :eek: :D
 
Hi Sam! Good luck, this site is the best thing ever, I it should be compulsary reading for anyone on the CD!
 
Hi Sam :)

You're a similar height and weight to me and I'm restarting CD tommorow. My advice on CD Sole Source would also be DO NOT CHEAT AND EAT ANYTHING. I'm talking from edxperience also. For most of us I think we would say that the first week is the toughest while your body gets used to the change and all the extra water.

Have a look at Icemoose's journey as well and how he did Sole Source. Lovely to meet you, keep posting for support as we all all need it.

Isis :)

Hey wannalose8stone!

So today is day 1 for you .... bet you have some mixed emotions about this crazy diet today!! Try and stay focused for the next couple of days and you'll find it a breeze. It's definately the hardest and the easiest diet to stick to - IF YOU DON'T CHEAT YOU WILL BE FINE, I promise.

This site is packed with fab guys and gals all here to offer support, advice a giggle or a hug whenever you need them. Remember to keep us up to date with your progress, it's always motivating to hear how everyone is getting on.

Good luck, we're behind you 110% xx
 
Hi Sam. The easiest part of your journey has now begun - you found Minimins! This site will see you through. Its a godsend.

Xx
 
Hi Munchkin

Thanks for your words of support. I actually started the diet on Friday so today is day 4.
Im already feeling much better about the diet. I got on the scales this morning and they are showing a 7lb loss already but Im not going to get too excited and will wait for my CDC weigh in on thursday.

Im definately less hungry today. Havent had my first pack of the day yet, where as the last three days Ive needed it almost as soon as I have woken up.

Trying to get the water down is a bit of a struggle. I drink tonnes of black coffee (about 10 cups a day) so I've been forcing down 1/2 pint of water with every cup of coffee. Thats 2 pints of water and 4 cups of coffee already this morning!

Can anyone tell me how to get a ticker please!!
 
Hi Ttey68

your weight loss is amazing. Im so jealous!!!

I cant believe it is possible to lose 5stone in 10 weeks.

Have you cheated at all?
How have you managed to beat the cravings and how do you deal with people trying to get you to eat something?
Have you been on SS for the whole 10 weeks? Sorry for all the questions but I really want to give myself the best possible chance with this diet and I think the best way is to follow advice from the people who are doing it.
thanks
Sam
