Hi,
I am thinking of re-starting CD but not too sure if it's the right thing to do. This would be my 3rd time round, first time I lasted 7/8wks and lost 2 1/2stones last time I did 4wks and lost over 1 stone and at the very beginning of everything I think I weighed 14st 4lbs, I am now 13 10 so all in all I have only lost 8lbs between losing and gaining.
The things I really liked about cd was the feeling of not having to make loads of food choices, the easyness of being able to just have waht I needed to when I needed to have it and I actually liked alot of the flavours (esp the bars). Downsides for me was the unsociable side of things, not being able to have an alcoholic drink, putting a downer on things for my family i.e. hubby not wanting to go for a meal or eat anything in front of me even though I said I was ok.
I don't think I could do ss and actually stick to it for any long period of time so I was thinking of going straight on to 810 or 1000. One reason for this is my stickability and another is that I really want to get fit and change my boy shape too and the only way I can do that is with excersise and I understand alot of excersise isn't really allowed on ss. Would it be ok to do more excersise on 810 or 1000?
Does anyone know what sort of weight loss I would be looking at for 810/1000 per month with excersise and I would also welcome opinions on whether I should give it another go or if you think cd just isn't right for me? I'm also wondering what the cost would be.
