I started today and I go on holiday in aprox 7 weeks. Count me in!
They asked me to set a target too and I have really never thought about what i'd like to be, its been sooooo long since I was anywhere near a normal BMI. I'd like to be 11 stone then go from there 10st 7lb would put me bang in the middle of a healthy BMI so will see.
Today has been OK but I took some paracetamol with my breakfast as I drink lots of Diet Coke normally and was expecting to suffer, perhaps not the best of things to do but at the mo I will do whatever it takes to get me through the first week.
Flowey- why dont you start a group.

Hey Im supposed to be working from home today but couldnt resist coming on here. Glad I did as a group sounds good to me
Although I might not be good motivational material having fallen off the wagon several times and still got obsticles in my way. So if I can join then count me in but if you feel that its best I dont until im 100% then I will opt out Group name.... how about ..... "Sugar Plum Fairies" or "Buddies" - just a thought x

Hi just started CD today. So far so good! I have managed to avoid cooking for the family but I don't think I can avoid it forever. My first goal is to reach day 3. Can't think further than that at the moment.
Welcome blossom1602 and wannabehealthy. I think sugarplumfairies is perfect - add it to your signatures.
Blossom - post us your weight loss tomorrow, are you really excited?
Wannabh - day 3 is a great goal. Hit that, then say ok i'm going to do 4 days now, then you've done a week - your losses will be amazing and week 2 will fly by.
Now Cheska, if I let you go off my list, I'd be giving you the green light to dissapear. No chance, you named the group. Please keep posting 100% or not. We all fall off the wagon and have hard (or fun social times). Being a group should mean we support each other whether we are struggling or doing well. If we are 100% we will be motivation for each other, when we are not we are the leather boot up bum. It doesn't matter how many blips you have, as long as you are not your starting weight, it is going in the right direction isn't it. Stay strong as long as you can, when you can't just be carefull.
We are now a gang not the police! Hope everyone agrees.

Soup in front of the box this eve. Have you seen blonde girl out of steps is on a programme about loosing a ton of weight before her wedding, before and after pics!! Gonna try and check that out.

Yep im defo in.
Day two now and things have been OK, a few hunger pains but they pass with water or my next meal.
In not keen on the apple and cinnamon porridge, I dont know if its more the texture, felt like I was going to be sick a few times eating it but I convinced myself it was Ok and finnished it. I will try it again before I decide what I really think.lol!
Im not keen on the Choc Orange shakes or Choc Tetras, they have a really funy taste.
I have also tried the vanilla shakes and spicy tomato soup, both of which I liked.
What does everyone else think of the foods?
I love seeing before and after pics of people, it really helps to motivate me.Im with you Flowey we should help each other through the good and bad, if anyone is struggling just come on here. x

Hi,
Yeah I am in, I'm excited about getting weighed, if I've lost more than 4lb I'll be over the moon!
So far I've tried the apple and cinnamon porridge which I had to force down, think it was salty and nothing like porridge! At first I thought yes I'll have that for my breakfast but I cant stomach it! I dont like any of the soups either (I'm a little fussy lol) think I'm going to be living off the chocolate shakes!!
I even cooked the other day for my boyfriend, I enjoy cooking and miss doing it but I wasnt even tempted to try a bit! xx

I'm in!!!
Hello all you sugar plum fairies....count me in, I think its a wicked name for a team!!
Well, i'm thru day 1 (nearly). I had the Apple & Cinnamon Porridge for breakfast but made the mistake of not blending before microwaving and found it ok until I got to the lumpy bits....yeuch!! But to be honest I thought it tasted not too bad so will defo try it again.
I struggled with lunch at work, don't really want to use the blender at work in the canteen so my friend who's on the CD too brought me a choc orange bar in, which was really nice actually and I thought it filled me up really good. And for dinner I had the Chicken & mushroom Soup, again surprisingly tasty.
I think I can definately do this, so long as all the other flavours are as good!!
Have drank a hell of a lot of water today so far, at least 2 and half litres and havent stopped running to the toilet all day.
Will have an early night with a good book to take my mind off any cravings for nibbles and be ready for day 2!!
Well done to all of you, ur all stars in my eyes!!

Cool quite a gathering! Shlinz, its always a personal choice of course, but you are not meant to have bars until wk3. Something to do with getting firmly into ketosis before as they have more carbs in??
For the shakes out, I have a dressings maker which is a large cup/tuperware thing with a lid and a wheel type thing inside which helps blend. Not perfect but ok when on the run.
