Nope it's a 12
I feel really comfortable at this size so quite happy to stay here. Do you think I could work up the steps using the calorie allowance without CD? I think having done it so recently I'll be able to do that, mind wise iykwim x

miss Vi, you are a dreadful, dreadful influence on me.
i popped into Dotty Ps to see if they had that dress, and i only went and had my first God damn spree!
AND, 25% off when you sign up for a store card, plus 25% off all week in the linked stores, and 10% off for the first three months.
so if you think about it, i really SAVED a lot of money. the fact i now have to check out Wallis and Top Shop before the weeks' end is a small hindrance, but oh well...
it was so fabulous to pick up everything in a 12 and have it all fit. i have never been on the verge of tears in a changing room in a good way before!

Erm, well yes and no! I was really struggling with the portions being mahoosive.
But I've employed the use of my fitness pal and slim and save spag Bol and crispy cereal shake ( which I make into a moose) so far I'm sticking to a bit of a Dukan/ CWP 810 vibe, plus I'm working in some fitness. Not moving much on the scales but I've come to understand it's between .5 and 2.lbs. Of fat a week compared to 1 lb of lean muscle 1 lb water and about 1lb of fat! Besides I'm a size 12 which means only a size to go and my biggest fish to fry is of the southern hemisphere ( my insane wobbly thighs and bum) so losing weight isnt going to tone them up. Bloody hard slog is!
What do you want to achieve? Maintenance? If so, you've got to plan for the long term and I would get to 7lb below the weight or size you like to compensate for the refeed load, go 810, try and keep it low carb but my fitness pal ap has every food type you will need!

Well i basically want to weigh 10st 7, then stay there. So need to lose about half a stone. Im planning to stay on CD till then. I'm probably doing 810+ currently, an average day goes something like this...
3 coffees with milk
2 teas with milk
tonnes of water
1 x shake
1 x soup
dinner (2x chicken breasts & tonnes of veg)
2 satsumas or half punnet of raspberries or half apple
1 x bar
I actually am in Ketosis even with the fruit (not advising this as some people wouldn't be).
So my plan is to stay doing this till i lose this 7lbs then substitute the cd products for food one by one which will probably be done when I go back to Egypt as i have a few shakes left over there.
Reckon it'll be alreeet ya know!

Hey Vi -
Right if 10 7 is where you want to be then I would suggest getting down to 10 3 (which is tiny for your height) and then working your way up the steps (calorie wise) which gives you 4lb wiggle room. Other wise you could get down to 10 7, work up the steps and go up a bit and end up only a couple of pounds down from where you are now, which in essence isnt too bad, but you may not be happy and then come back for the quick fix.
Ive realised lately that this diet is totally nuts and the longer you stay on it, the more you kind of become reliant on it as a way of shifting weight like lightening, but thats just no good for you, is it? Thats why I am trying to go for lifestyle change.
Anyway - off for a coffee now you mentioned one!
