Don't know to both q's! Kel will come along soon enough. I suppose it's cutting corners................had 2 bits of garlic bread on Sunday and a couple of glasses of white wine on Monday. That sort of thing. Got to get right back to basics if I am gonna see this through. It'll be great when you are SSing again. It will be like old times!

I know! I can't wait! I just need my tax rebate to come through and then I will be well away! My cousin is sending me a week and a half's worth of CD packs that she never used so that will be a bit of extra help. As soon as the tax cheque arrives, I will start on those packs and then when the cheque clears, I will buy a 4 week supply of Exante (£99!!! Bargain!) so I will be well away! I just don't want to start without knowing if I can carry on. I would hate to get into ketosis and then have to stop and start again! I have waited so long to get back to it. There is NO WAY that I am going to waste this second chance. NO WAY AT ALL!!!
When I called the tax office they said it would take another 6-8 weeks. I'm not too happy about that as I sent the form in ages ago and was assured that it would be dealt with swiftly as they have already made two four-weekly unemployment payments to me. Ha ha! Some joke! Fingers crossed it will come through some time in June though. If not, it won't be long afterwards. At least I will be starting the water guzzling in the summer and not the winter! It's so hard when it's cold to drink the water!
I have a feeling that my time has come. I will be back on CD and shifting the lbs. I could be at my goal weight by Christmas! I have just chosen my modules at uni for the 2nd year and they are all so interesting! I can't wait to get started! I'm doing:
Introduction to Egyptian Archaeology
Egyptian Language 3
Egyptian Art and Architecture
Egyptian Religious Beliefs and Practices
Egyptian Language 4
Homer and Heroism (an elective module as there isn't a sixth Egyptology module)
Making the decision to do this degree was such a good move for me. I'm so proud of myself as I have been getting really good marks and am averaging a first for the year so far. If I can keep this up, my dream of doing a masters at Oxford may not be so far out of reach as I thought!
Wow, sorry I got a bit carried away there!!!
You know that 2lbs will come off quicker than it went on Frances if you just get back into SS+ and glug that water. You can do this!!! I know you can and you know you can x

xHomer, eeek! I'd send you the Illiad but buried my copy on a beach in Greece! Wow, a first! Oxford here you come, Slim Jim! It's so great to hear you sounding so positive and yes, you must wait until you can afford a good clear run at it as starting and stopping is just not an option with this diet.
I have been slack on the water so bought a load in. Also decided I am going to give up that odd glass of wine I was having until I get to goal. It just isn't worth it and has probably been holding me back. It only takes a split second to ask for water instead of wine and I really won't miss it.
And I am feeling so inspired now as we are on a roll. It feels like a second chance for us both!

Good decision on the wine. I am teetotal now so alcohol isn't a temptation for me.
The Iliad is exactly what we are studying in that module I can't wait! I'm going to read it over the summer to give me a head start! I have read extracts of it for an essay I wrote on Horace's 'Cleopatra Ode' and I loved what I saw.
I just can't wait to get stuck into CD. I'm getting to the "I hate food and never want to see it again" stage I was at the first time! This is all looking good! x

Yeah I think they will as essentially freezing them now will stop them getting any older if you know what I mean!
Don't get too excited about the 4lbs. Weighed myself this morning and as I expected, no change. What the hell?! I'm so peed off now. How can it say -4 one night and then STS the next morning!? x

Oh yes my CDC used to show me the fat blob lol and when I held it, I couldn't believe how heavy it was!!!
I've just read the sad news that Sarah (westiegirl) has passed away. It really puts into perspective that life is short and can be taken away at any moment. I am more determined now to sort myself out, shift the weight and be happy. I don't want to spend the rest of my days wallowing in self pity.
How is everyone else getting on? x

Hiya Girls
OMG I cant believe Sarah has passed away what a total shock, At such a young age too.. :cry:
Well girls I have put on 4lb while being away which has probably got to do with I had £20 to spend on my tea & in a premier inn its virtually impossible, I had a meal & sweet every night & they paid for the all you can eat breakfast too, so easing into CD slowly to get back on it next week..
Considering I didnt wanna go I really enjoyed it, I learned alot although there is still so much to learn but I will pick it up..
I made a new best friend too, Gemma she is called, I have spoke to her every day, We got on like a house on fire.. Love her...
Anyway yesterday I was at my new site but I was just unpacking leather chairs and moving boxes etc. I am aching today mind, lol..
My site is gonna look Fab, I will take some picks when its finished to show you.
Monday I am training on the morning then it will be sales training which I wont need to do as I have loads of cars to bring into stock so I am gonna be very busy next week..
Out of all the new staff there is only me & the Store Manager with experience so its gonna be a huge learning curve for everyone..
So how is everyone, have we stayed on track??

Life is brass right now
Hello everyone, well I'm back... back on CD, back on the forum. I needed to take a break as I just couldn't do it anymore. So here I am, I'm giving myself two weeks to get back to the weight I was before I quit, then I'm back to finish that last bit. I started this mornig, had all my packs and 3l of water (easing myself back in here). I didn't do too badly foodwise, but since I broke my coccyx, I stopped exercising and it killed me. I still cant do too much, however, I figure another month (on CD of course) and I'll be able to exercise again. Nice to read you ladies are doing well and hanging on
