    Hi Becky

    4 stone will fall off you quicker than you realise.

    I started the CD 8 weeks ago and have lost just under 3 stone. It is hard in the first week but you soon get used to it. I haven't cheated yet so it can be done.

    Good luck!

    Hi CnQ

    Is it possible that you could post some before and after photos on here. I think your weight loss is amazing and definitely an inspiration to others!

    I am seeing my local counseller next Wednesday evening and I'm really excited now!
    Is there anything I can do in preparation before next week?
    I am going to increase my water intake but am wondering if there is anything else I should be doing?
