I bought Vegetable and Chicken and Mushroom soups this week.
I'm looking forward to trying them.

Thanks for all of the good wishes all.

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining your thread, My name is Anna and Today I have decided that I would like to try the CD. I've visited the site and found a counsellor in my area spoke to a lovely lady but unfortunately she isn't taking anyone on at the moment as shes going away on holiday so. just waiting on another counsellor to call to arrange a meet. So a little bit nervous and excited at the same time.
I've read through some of the posts and you are all very inspiring.... hopefully I can be as successful as you are xxx

Welcome annzi.

I've only been here 5 minutes myself and find it a very helpful forum.
How annoying for you though, to have taken the first step only to then have the CDC tell you that she isn't taking anyone on!
I'd be going mad waiting for another CDC to get in touch ~ but once I've decided to do something, I do get rather agitated if I'm not able to do it straight away.

Hi all.

Tomorrow morning is my second way in and I'll have been on CD for 12 days. I lost 7.5lbs last week, but not sure about this week. My waist feels a little smaller, but not sure about anything else.

Im off out tonight and have offered to drive so Im not tempted to drink - it's going to be a hard one - Newcastle is heaving at the weekend

Hope I get a good loss - and I lose this craving for pizza and cheese!!

Good luck for tomorrow Catty.

Good luck Catty with your weigh-in 2moro, let us know how you get on.

Have a FAB evening tonight - just think, you'll be waking up all nice and fresh with no hangover tomorrow, while your mates will be hanging :0)

I'm going to my sister in-law's 40th birthday celebration tomorrow night, so I will be doing the same as you, driving, so I'm not tempted to booze - not sure how I'm going to handle the food situation though !

I've just had the chilli/oriental soup for my dinner - yuck - didn't like that at all - it didn't have much flavour. Are we allowed to add any spices to the soups? I know black pepper is ok so I was wondering if chilli powder would be alright?

Chilli powder is fine I think. I use tabasco in my soup sachets and that's allowed. The green variety is not so hot as the red and it adds a good flavour.

Morning everyone,
just a quick update, I spke to my CDC yesterday and have made an appointment for tuesday evening:j so it looks like I'll be joining you all on the CD wednesday. gonna try and reduce what I'm eating until then so its not going to be such a shock. Have a good weekend everyone xxxx

Thanks Candyd - I actually really like the red tabasco (I used to add it to my baked beans to give them a kick - those were the days). So I shall definitely be trying that in my soups.

Hi Annzi - good luck for Wednesday, I think cutting done on your food, especially carbs, before you go to see your CDC on Tuesday is a good idea - I think if I'd done that I wouldn't be finding the first few days so hard (I'm on Day 3).

Hello everyone, how it's all going well today!

I have just got back from my second weigh in, which happens to be my 12th day, and I have lost ......................................... 7.5lbs, taking me to a grand total so far of 15lb loss in 12 days!! I am chuffed to bits. My clothes feel looser and I feel so much better in myself.
