It's a tough one. Been at that crossroads many times and have always stuck with CD in the end. I just feel if I come off it I will never get back on again and I want to get to goal and come off it very gradually by going up the plans, and not just switch coz I am sick of it. I just wouldn't trust myself and to be honest, I can't be bothered learning all the ins and outs of a new diet right now, having to buy in all the foods etc.

It is up to you. You know what will work best for you depending on how you feel. But I don't see why you can't up your exercise, do more weights? CD has never stopped me exercising as much as I want to. I know muscle weighs more but I reckon it earns its keep in that it raises your metabolism and helps you burn more cals even at rest. I certainly haven't noticed exercise/muscle increasing my weight.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Well done Kelly! Of course you got the job! We knew you deserved it! Happy to do a water challenge with you, even though I know you will win, because no-one downs the H2O like you can! I'm gonna go for 2.5 litres on Monday and Tuesday and see how I get on. Then up it to 3litres. What about you?

Steady on the vodka!

Yes, I agree Kels ease up on the vodka. I will indeed join you gals for your water challenge, and night-owl, I'm gonna take your lead and also do 2.5 M&T then work my way up to 3l. I'm off CD as I don't have anymore packs and my CD hasn't been re-supplied... doesn't that suck? so nothing until Wed, I really have to be good!! will try to come on often this weekend, so that I don't go too "off-plan"

 

[night-owl]

That's awful! How can your CDC not have ANY packs?! They are supposed to have a full stock at all times. And why do you have to wait until Wednesday??????? Stocks are delivered next day!!! Disgraceful. Go back on the CD website and see if there is another CDC near you.

Morning Girls,

Well it's a nice sunny day today & Started CD as a fresh start, had 1l of tea so far & on my 1st litre of water..

I weighed in at 12.8lb this morning so need to lose 15lb for my 1st mini goal..

Today I am gonna bleach my teeth.. Will do a before and after see how it goes.. I remember asking bout this at the dentist but they said my teeth is in the 1st couple of shades of white anyway so I probably wouldnt benefit from it, well I am gonna try & do it myself see if I can go lighter....

Hope everyone is ok & had a nice weekend..

xx

 

[night-owl]

Your smile certainly looks white enough to me. Be a bit careful with bleach.

11, 7 here you come!

Nearly finished my first litre.

 

[kelly1977]

Well this kit seems to be ok, Cant see a massive differenc but my teeth feel better & look shinier, may try again tomoro, its from America, I remember looking at it when I was over there, wish I bought some now..

Well I have had 2l of tea & 2l of water, will drink another before bed..

We are doing well girls..

[night-owl]

That's 5 litres, Kel!!! Knew I should never done a water challenge with you! You weren't leader of the Water Babes for nothing. Speaking of which, I have just come back from an advanced swimming lesson. I wonder if that counts? Only managed 2 litres today. Tomorrow is another day...

Ha Ha, Well I only managed 4l altogether then.. Eeehhh yeah surely if you swallowed any water that counts towards your intake, lol..
xx

 

[night-owl]

I try not to, but it just makes me wonder if I do as you always need to go after a swim. Done one and half litres of chlorine-free H2O so far so hopefully get 2 and a half today. Weigh in tomorrow. Went to a Pilates class. I'm gonna ache in the morning. I can feel it already.
Hope you're staying on track. Summer's coming!

 

[kelly1977]

Well Done Hun, Your very active arent ya?

Had 1l so far, gonna have some oss in a bit as I am starving this morning, I craved for a wispa all day yesterday & ended up having a yoghurt..

Feeling very dizzy when I get up, started yesterday, Got up quick & had to sit back down my head was swimming, Anyone else feel like that?

Well of for some brekkie catch ya later.. xx

 

[night-owl]

I remember some people talking about dizziness at the very start of going on CD but you're an old hand at it now. Keep an eye on it. Hopefully that was a one-off.

I ache from the Pilates and I've gone UP! Weighed in today at 11 stone 1lb! Yikes I'm back in the 11's. Action needed!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my word, I so wish I was that weight, I really do!!
Whats your ideal weight now??

Ideally I would love to be 10st but I dont think I ever will..

Well muscle weighs more than fat hun so your bought to go up & pilates is all about muscle exercises etc isnt it? Only ever done it a few times.

Still keep going dizzy, well I know I am dizzy anyway but thats beside the point!! lol..

x

 

[night-owl]

I'm only 5ft 3 so I need to be 10 stone to have a BMI of 25. Ideally I would like to be just under, about 9 stone 10. As I said, 10 2 is the lowest I have got to before it started going up again. Never seen the 9's.

Dizzy every morning does not sound good. Tell your CDC.

 

[kelly1977]

Well I am an Honest person so gonna own up, Been crap today, This is what I have had!!

4l of Tea
2l of Water
1 Oats So Simple
1 Muller Yoghurt
5 Ritz with Low Fat Philly & Coleslaw
3 Choc Biscuits
2 Fruit Shortcake Biscuits

OMG why did I do it, I will weigh in the morning & probably put on the weight I have lost!! Grrrrrr..

I know exactly what it is, I am stuck at home in my room & its just boredom..
Since being on the dole every day its been the same routine ~ Tidy up full house while mam is at work, Check e-mails, go on Internet, list on Ebay, Do Avon bits, thats all.. So on the nights I see Keith its just waiting for him to finish work so I can get sorted & go over his..
Its Keiths Last day tomorrow at work (been made redundant) so I have 2 weeks with him until I start my new job (very nervous) So We have decided we gonna gutt his room as it needs doing & also give the cars a good clean inside & out so I will be ok with food for the next 2 weeks as I will be busy all the time & not stuck in the house bored wanting to eat..

I really wanna book a holiday before I start my job to & I really wanna go back to Florida for the 3rd & last year in a row!! Trying to persuade Keith as next year I am hoping we are in a house trying for a baby, so we wont get there for years! I just love the place sooooo much..

Will check in the morning with the damage!! Ooopsss..
