Hi Donna

How are you getting on with WW - are you finding it okay and still having good losses (sorry, I forget what you posted but know you're still losing okay) and not finding the world of food too tempting? I ask because I'm finding CD increasingly difficult for a few reasons:

* The children are getting older and are asking questions and I don't really want to bring dieting into their world when so young.

* I'm missing sitting down with the family to eat and don't think it makes for good family values with kids so young for me to not be sitting and joining in the same meal as them. (imho anyway - they're only 4 and 5)

* I'm getting really fed up with this diet as I've been on it forever it feels.

I'm thinking if I can stick with this diet untill Christmas and then maybe after going back to WW or maybe following a much higher plan which would mean I could join in with family meals much easier. Ideas and thoughts anyone? Thanks

Hiya Dax,

Well, its been a rocky road. Lost 2, gained 2.5, lost 1.5, gained 1.5, lost 1.5 you get the picture. However, I am not heavier than when I came off CD! Being on CD has taught me more about portion control & eating the right things (just dont go baking bread like I did today! Not good...)

There is a new plan out tomorrow which I will start on Thursday (after WI on Wednesday) so looking forward to that.

I have found that I drink more than I used to and I can also exercise more. For me, it was the right time to swap. I am enjoying cooking & being 'adventurous' - my family are loving it too. I totally understand where you are coming from with not wanting to introduce the girls to the world of 'dieting' so young. My lo (Sam - ds) is 2.5 and he knows when mummy has something different to him. Its lovely to be able to sit at the table & have breakfast, lunch & tea with him!

If thats how you're feeling about CD, perhaps continue with it over Xmas, work up the plans & then join WW in the new year and see how it goes. If it doesnt work, you can always go back to CD - its not going to go away! I have had a heavy weekend on the bread so think I might do a couple of days of 2 shakes & 1 meal lol.

Hth, you will be fine

Thanks Donna, so do I...Still what's the worst that can happen? I run out of loo roll and have to get a box of soft tissues!!!!
have a good afternoon at work.
 
Evening, had a good day so far, still feel rotten, but jeans feel better, DH told me they looked daft as their too big around the butt ! hooray, they are a 14, but I know 12's aren't quite there yet...I have such a big tummy but I will get there in the end, they seem longer in the leg toooooooo so that's all positive.
Hope your all going to have a lovely evening, catch up later.

I have the same problem with Jeans! 14's are too big round the waist & leg but fit nicely on my bum/belly! grrrr lol. This losing weight is tough.

Hope your feeling better today. Gail, Bigbird, Dax & vicky - you all ok???

Cheers Donna, not really but on the bright side was supposed to be going out for a chinese but luckily couldn't breath long enough to swallow so have cancelled.....Who said having a cold was bad for you?
Wouldn't be sooo bad but the voice isn't working. Pretending to work today, luckily at home, but can't really make any calls, people keep asking why I've got a sea lion in my office (PMSL) Ho hum as they say, onward and upword.
have a goodun
 
Oh dear, hope you are feeling better soon. I hope this isn't the same thing I had last month - it takes aaaaages to get rid of :-( Am only just feeling better now!

hi
hope you are all ok
i've had a couple of bad days didn't get weighed today as i was at the hospital with DD for her MRI scan littel stressed tosay the least have to now wait til 18th dec to go to see specialist!!! also she s back tomorrow to get a plaster on from hip to toe GOD so yes i have turned to food it is also the TOTM and i just need to eat all the time i have only eaten chicken but in excess i think and bars no other cd product so i am well out of ketosis and getting even more stressed
OH is no help its as if he thinks if he doesnt think about it it wont happen well this is happening !!!! i just feel hungry all the time and i cant get water down so i am so sorry i may have let you down this week
i promised to try harder tomorrow back at work it seems easier when i am at work and at least i can get the water down then leave from there to go to the hospital again and i hate hospitals after what happened with my tummy tuck luckily its not the same hospital
 
Oh Gail ((((()))))) You sound like you have been through it.

The pot from hip to toe isn't too bad. I had that when I was younger - bright purple it was :) Fingers crossed they get to the bottom of what is causing the pain sooner rather than later.

At least you haven't gone on a total bender. Try drinking hot water and see if you can get any more down that way - its hard when its cold, I havent drunk nearly enough water, but seem to manage it with cordial. Is flavoured water no good to you?

I'm sure you will be fine - chin up babe!

"BIG HUG" for Gail. You poor thing. How old is your DD? She sounds like she's really going through the mill, and taking you with her.....Sorry and all that.
I feel a bit better today, but have taken to sleeping in the spare room as "he who can not be disturbed" was troubled by my coughing. He's gone to work now so peace reigns once more. He started coughing this morning, so by Saturday I'll be nursing a chap with full blown "Man Flu" Lucky me eh?
Anyway it's very cold and I need to blow my nose! catch up with you later.
 
Hi Gail, so sorry to hear all the problems with your DD, but hopefully they'll find out what's causing the pain now and then can get it sorted. Big hugs, and take care.

I'm think I've decided (iykwim!) that I'm going to do a combination of ww and cd from now untill xmas and then decided from there which way i'll carry on. I'd still like to do ss as it works so well and is so quick, but I've just got so many things going on in the next few weeks that I think eating will help. At the moment it all just seems to be a "problem" with the social thing and it's not fair on my family, expecially my kids. I've weighed myself this morning and have stayed the same this week - which is a little dissapointing given my last couple of losses. But I think what's happened is that there's been a couple of times this week where we've been out and I've eaten as it was a social thing and my bodies just gone "foooooood, keep hold of it"!!!! lol lol! I hope this is making sense. I'm thinking that if I do a low point scheme and incorporate my shakes into it I could maybe combine the two, do the "social thing" and not feel like I've gone wrong. What do you all think???? I know it's going to slow my weight losses down (sorry team) but if it can keep me going through the next festive month then hopefully I can get back on ss proper when it's all over. I'd really appreciate your thoughts everyone...
 
Hi Dax, I think you'd be spot on to do that and might even join you. Then reasses after Christmas. I haven't really got that many things booked just fed up with not having much of a life, and I socialise more than any of you! PMSL... I think in January it'll be time for a new start and see what happens. Haven't made any firm decisions yet, just feel run down and in need of proper soup ( Albeit WW)
Take care
 
Thanks for that Percy - sounds like you're on the same thought process as me. To be honest, I miss food and the joinging in and the social bit that goes with it, you know, sitting around chatting whilst eating dinner etc... sadly, I'm not the sort of person that can sit at a dinner table with everyone eating and me not! It's really not in my nature, lol! Like I said, I know it will slow my losses right down but hopefully it'll be worth it if psycollogically (spelling???!!!) I don't feel that I've gone wrong as I can work it into my points. I'm thinking I can use shakes more during the week with an evening meal and then bank some points in case we're out etc at the weekend. I'm really sorry team as far as losses are concerned, but hope you understand and will keep me (and Percy if she decides to do the same). I'm just fretting already about xmas and all that goes with it (that'll be wine, beer, mince pies, chocolate orange, roast dinner... I wish!). But I do plan to SS back in the New Year again - tbh I just want this bloody diet over and done with and concentrate on maintaining!
 
I think it's the best option. Do you know how many points are in a shake? I might tell my guy I can't afford it til after Xmas and see what he sais. I've got a back log what from weekends off and feelig shocking. Spent the afternoon cleaning carpets and moving furniture around ready to accommodate Christmas and all that goes with it (tree) - people etc.. have stopped now, made the others Chilli for dinner and just added the Kidney Beans. I'm going to stick to CD for a few more days as I'm not feeling Hungry and my throat is still sore..(Not sure I'm getting enough sympathy! LOL
Catch up later.
 
hi all
dax we are in this as a team for support and encouragement not to be the biggest weight loss group so it doesnt matter how much you lose or gain or STS as long as we continue supporting each other
it really is hard over this time of year im finding it really hard too was at hospital again today DD who is 12 yrs old had a plaster put on we go to see specialist on 18th but he did ring me today to say MRI scan showed nothing untoward so thats good news may need op to shave the extra bone away but will know more on 18th so thats a little less stress havent had a cigarette now for 8 days maybe thats why i ate the chicken im finding it difficult to keep my hands occupied yesterday i told my friend i had stuffed myself allday when in actual fact i only ate 3 bars and 3 chicken breasts yes i know its a lot on ss but in life its hardly stuffing yourself but i felt good that even though i thought i had stuffed myself i hadnt done that bad
im still bloody deciding what to do for xmas whether to eat or not its really hard not to eat when all the family is eating and the food is so nice i know people say there will be more christmases and i know there will be but not 2008 and not when my children are the age they are ok so they are older children but sometimes thats harder because they keep asking when am i going to eat normal again and if its ok for me why cant they do it to lose a little weight and although i am still a size 16 they think i am no longer fat so why do i need not to eat i have told them i just need to lose alittle more
oh god i am waffling sorry i guess i just wanted to put off telling you but i STS this week i am quite lucky really with TOTM not smoking and eating so today i am trying really hard to get back into ketosis only had 1 pack and about 2 litres of water and i am starving
