Hi everyone! Thought I'd start this as a bit of motivation for me, and for anyone else to read if they want to know they are not alone in their CD journey.
I have been doing CD for a week so far, and my scales at home show I have lost 7lb, which I'm very happy with! Got my first weigh in with my CDC tonight, so hoping her scales show the same thing.
I have not found the first week too bad. I've had hunger pains, due to having no food in my tummny, but have thought "am I actually hungry?" and the answer is always 'no'.
No headaches either, though felt quite distant on Monday, and people kept asking me if there was something up. There wasn't, I was fine, but I didn't feel like I was quite there.
I have been using the ketostix and so far have all showed either light or dark pink. Even after a mouthfull of OH's shepherd's pie (oops!).
Ideally I'd like to eventually be below 10 stone, at whatever size I'm comfortable with, but I've always struggled getting below 10'3", and have VERY chubby legs, which are no doubt going to be a problem as I get closer to goal, but I want to be able to wear boots in the autumn! (As well as all the lovely clothes I have got but never worn for fear of showing my legs.)
The CD products - don't like: original porridge, spicy tomato soup (tastes v odd), vanilla shake (though might try adding coffee to it); do like: cappucino shake, oriental chilli soup, any of the chocolate shakes. Looking forward to being able to have the bars so I have something to chew on!
That's all for now - will update as and when I have something to add!
