    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Phew, her scales are still showing I've lost 3lbs, so I'm happy with that. :)

    She's suggested having a small amount of carbs (tennis ball sized jacket spud with protein and salad) the night before a run instead of the third shake - sounds sensible so I'll give it a try and see if it helps with the dizziness and tiredness post-run.

    She's away for the next two weeks so it's 3 weeks now till my next weigh in! :eek:

    God I will be mortified if I haven't had a decent loss when she gets back - must try harder!! :D

    :jWell done Snags, and well done on your PB on your sig:T

    No, I didnt know that Dunc. It seems CDC missed telling me quite a lot.

    Hmmm something to think about ;)

    You just need to do your own weekly weigh ins. As long as its the same scales and you do it at the same time (preferably naked, first thing in the morning, before a shower or having a drink, and don't forget to hold your tummy in!!) you can record your own losses.

    Because I started earlier than when I saw the CDC as I had leftover packs from a previous attempt I don't take any notice of the CDC weigh in, I record my own. I don't cheat either, you know by leaning sideways.

    We weigh in on the wii fit. I dont think leaning works on that :D

    I'm a bit put off by my experiences with my previous CDC. It took a lot of nerve for me to contact her initially, not sure I want to do it again :confused:

    Doc wouldn't sign my forms! She isn't keen on the idea, I have just started having hypno for my food issues, she said see how that goes first, and go back in 6 weeks if I haven't had any success she will discuss it with me again.
    Hi Jen, whats your BMI, I don't think you even need a docs sig unless its over 40 - correct me gladly if I'm wrong. Does anyone else know for definite??

    Just looked for your earlier posts, if you are only a size 20 I wouldn't have thought it was that high. Or (ignore me if I'm being nosey) do you have any other contra indications??? You also told us that the doctor gave you pills. I can't believe they let you have pills, which are decidedly not good for you, and won't let you try a tried and tested nutritionally complete VLCD.

    I'd have a chat with the CDC and see if you can start on one of the higher plans if she insists you have the docs approval.

    It is extremely easy for me to say I know. But just look at how well you have done. !!!!!! what the CDC thinks, you really have done well and just take a deep breath and go for it. You don't know them and don't have to get friendly - You have us for all that bit!!:D

    I've had a carp day, been running about like a loon, Son is in the dog house, BIG time,:mad: didn't realise till 4.30 i'd had nothing since brekkie, fortunatley I had an emergency tetra with me as I had just arrived at the pool and wasn't going to get in till 7.45pm.

    Havent had enough water, would kill right now for a bottle of wine - not a glass - a bottle!!

    Still on 100% day though, so will keep smiling, a very positive side to a sh1te day, will take Dunc out for a walk now and walk off that stress instead of drinking it off:j
