Well here I am, back again on CD, did it 2 years ago and lost 2 stone in 9 weeks, but now its time to come back, especially as when I weighed in on the 27th April I weighed 10.5lbs heavier than ever before.
These forums are great and its what got me through last time, its an inspiration, unfortunately its took until now to find this site, as I previously used the one attached to CD, but for some reason even though I can log in, it wont let me post, and no-one is answering my emails. Hey ho, Ive found this now, so My story starts.
Completed my first week on CD, with 2 shakes (tetra's) at work, a soup for Tea, and a porridge just before bed. (this stopped me getting up in the middle of the night to eat) Week one loss 5lb, and whilst I know this is good, I felt not good enough, as my first week last time was 9lb, I had too bigger expectations, although then I was on 3x CD per day and not 4, but my counsellor says this should not make any difference.
Going for my 2nd weigh in tomorrow, but its only 5 days since my last one, so not really a full week.
Whilst Im happy to go on 4CD for now, I think it helps when you return, Ive been told I need to get sign off from my Dr to go on 3CD, Im not sure why though, because I have no medical problems, my BMI is below 40. (can anyone advise?) Im not sure if my Dr will sign me off, as he is an old school family Dr and does not believe in these diets, I know because I discussed it with him last time round, when he commented on a visit how good I looked. His comments were that I would pile it on and more, well thats not simply true.
I kept to my weight last time for over a year, but then with lots of family problems, I started to comfort eat more than ever, hence Im now back and determined to loose again, hopefully a decent amount before my hols in Aug.
So Glad I have found this, and hope to here from lots of people and get lots of inspiration to keep me going.
