    Morning everyone, Sorry ive not been around but i didnt deserve to be really! .. I just couldnt restart when i said i was going to! ..

    Anyway you will be pleased to know that yesterday was a day of 100%ness! ... Im really pleased with myself :) ... I know im not in K yet but have started getting that familiar cacky taste back in my mouth so i know im moving in the right direction :)
    a couple more days of me being a snappy, tempramentle, moody so and so and then ill be 100% fine :D ....
    OH has actually started asking me if i feel alright, how my head is etc .. maybe he realises i need more support than i let on! ..

    Im determined to make today a 100% day 2 ... as i dont want to keep redoing day 1 lol ..

    Hope everyone is floating along nicely :) .. think of the summer girlies! its not long away now ! (i hope) lol
    Hoping to be a thinner me in 2010!
  • Emmzi, good luck as you have done it before I am sure you will do fab! Please keep us updated.
    Penky, wow don't try and read them all, you will be here forever. Good luck with your journey, I am the same age as you and started when I was 23... I wish I started sooner now.
    Tinkerbell, Wow you had a fab loss on your first week, I bet you were really happy. Keep going it does work but you bjust need to stay on the wagon ;)
    hamish, Good luck with WW, please keep pooping in and letting us know how you are doing. Take care :D
    stokegal :j On your weight loss, I am sure you will reach your April target with losses like that :D
    piratess, welcome back and congrts on your first day 100%, now you just have to keep it up. Remember to ask for support even if its not freely given, you definatly need support while on this diet. keep checking in and I can't wait to see what your first weigh-in is :D

    Well I sts again this week, so me and my CDC has decided to not weigh for at least 3 weeks. We think because I am running etc I am toning and replacing the fat with muscle. So of course I am not losing weight :o So I am still up for the challenge but my update will come at the end of the month ;)

    Keep going guys :beer:

  • New to this forum so please be gentle with me .... thinking of starting CD but looking for a bit of reassure and few answers before I jump in .... really what do the shakes and soups taste like and what's best to go for?? Do they fill you up ??? How much does it all cost??? Do you have to see a consultant or can you do it on your own?

    Hello I am thinking about starting CD next week...I am not sure the kids holiday is a good time to start, but I am so fed up with trying to loose weight and feel really motivated now.

    I have a wedding at the end of June and would love to lose a couple of stone before then.

    Any advice welcome, I love going out but can manage without wine etc if it means I get to shift three or four stone for my holiday in the summer.

  • Hello Everyone,

    I'm a few steps behind, just found a counsellor and will be meeting with them soon, where no doubt she will weigh me and at which point I shall be sticking my fingers firmly in my ears!!! Any advice on which shakes to choose, bad gag reflex. Realistically how much weight do you think I could lose in, say, 6 weeks (I'm a size 16 at the mo - but dont tell anyone).

    Thanks, all advice greatly appreciated - I've had a look through the pages but my giddy aunt theres a lot of them!!!
