Thanks again everyone 
@ Zareena- yes it is WW I'm on, I even had one semi bad day this week and like I said didn't do as much exercise as planned so it seems to be working!
@ Roch- I want to lose between9-10 stone, I was 10st 7lb a few years ago so I was happy enough at that or maybe 11st, will see how I feel when I get to 11! I was 20st 3.5lb two weeks ago and today I weigh 19st 5lb. I know exactly how you feel, no matter how much I wanted to succeed on CD or LL I just couldn't do it so I just had to get myself into the right frame of mind and keep telling myself all the reasons I want to get this weight off and WW is really suiting me. Let me know how you get on at SW!
@ Andi- Like I said I know how it feels to want to do CD so badly but just not feel its right for you. I battled with myself and tried to convince myself that quitting it and going back to WW meant I was a failure but it doesn't. I will still get the same result in the end, it might take a little longer but I will get there with this diet, I can feel it. I was yo-yoing on CD far too much. When I first tried LL back in November I was 17st 7. Going on and off the diet and having a million last meals made me pile it on and I started WW at 20st 3lb. Instead of following my gut feeling that it wasn't right back in Nov and stopping the binge cycle. But I'm not looking back and going through all the what if's anymore. This is it now. I'm not looking at it as a diet or something that I have to do. I'm not looking at exercise as a chore but think of it as this is what I need to continue forever if I want to live a longer, happier, healthier life. I'm 26 and I went for a walk three weeks ago and my ankles hurt. That gave me the jolt I need. I have a little puppy and I won't let people overfeed him because he will get fat and its not fair on him- do you know what a wake up call that was for me when the words came out of my mouth?! I won't let my dog get fat because of his health but I stuff myself day in and day out!
In two short weeks I am more confident, I am now walking 3 miles without a pain in sight, I'm sleeping better and things are really starting to come together.
I'm starting to ramble now but just think about it, Gen from these boards told me to list out all the reasons I wanted to lose weight and all the reasons for and against sticking to CD and then make my mind up. Maybe you should do that and then decide what is right for you. I know six stone seems like a huge mountain to climb and I kept thinking about the length of time it would take to get to goal and then I realised, that time will pass anyway, its how I use it thats important. This time next year I can still be the weight I am today plus more or I can be at my goal and living life to the full.
