    Hi Helen :) ...

    I think my tip would be to make sure youve got things you can be doing to take your mind off food! .. a diet journel umm puzzle book new nail polish etc anything to stop you eating ...
    And to know that your head will try to play games with you even though your body isnt hungry! ...

    Good Luck with your journey :)

    well that is 1 week gone

    i had 2 small blips, and they were not that bad

    was hungry the other night, so had a nibble of chicken for tea

    sunday went to the in laws for dinner............argh

    she'd done chicken and beef, i had a bit of chicken, with veg, problem was the veg was carrot and turnip, and i could eat that all day long,
    so ended up with chicken, carrot and turnip and some brocolli

    not the best, but it is worse could have had the spuds, stuffing and gravy but didn't.

    Start weight last tue morning was 11st 5lb, :eek:
    this morning i weighed 10st 13lb

    we i have to say i'm pleases with that, especially as i ate on sunday.

    onwards and upwards for the next 7 days.

    good luck all xxx

    Took the kids out today ............for a picnic!

    I had soup in a flask...and I so wanted what they were having.

    I also had to nip to the shop today, that was so hard. I really wanted to give up. But I didn't! I am only on day 6...........I can not imagine doing this for 6 weeks. Although I am still not hungry! So what am I moaning about????

    Well done on resisting the soup! .. i know the hunger thing is all in the head! .. its just a case of occupying yourself with somthing different till the feeling passes .

  • Hi all, just to let you know that I am no longer following the CD. For many reasons but thw main one is because I have been on it a year in a few weeks and I can't afford it anymore :( Just under 1/2 my wage is used for cambridge and its time to move on. So I will be calorie counting and following a low carb diet.

    Good luck to all of you though I lost over 6st on this diet and it is worth it. Just plod along and you will get there. Thanks to everyone who was here when I started especially Maz you were fab.

    Piratess, I love you and wish you all the sucess in the world, you can do it believe in yourself :j

    Take care :A
