Hey Catty

That is AMAZING ! Well done you, you must be over the moon !!

Are you on SS? How much weight do you have to lose (if you don't mind me asking).

I am, high as a kite today Yeah Im on day 12 of SS, and haven't cheated at all, well with the exception of one large glass of red wine and one malteaser, so pretty much been good.

I started off at 14st 11lbs and I am now 13st 10lbs. I'd like to get down to about 10 st 10lbs but my CDC says she thinks 12st would be fine for me.

Fantastic news Catty. Well done you.
I bet you're on cloud nine still.

The rate you're going it won't take you long at all to get to target !

I hope so - it's definately been the best diet I have ever been on so far. I have never felt better, no have I seen such quick results. I hope I can keep it up.

I do miss going out for Sunday lunch with friends - so instead I'm blitzing my bombsite of a house today - oh the excitement haha.

I know what you mean, my house is absolutely immaculate. Don't get me wrong, it's always clean and tidy but I don't usually make a habit of dusting the tops of the doors and polishing my letter box - it's amazing how much more time I've got now I'm not in the kitchen cooking/baking or sat on the sofa grazing !!

I had to miss out on a 40th birthday party last night, I just couldn't face all the food and champagne knowing I couldn't have any of it - but hey, it's not forever and it will be worth it in the end.

My social life hasn't been very exciting. I have been out Thurs, Fri and Sat, Thursday I ended up having a glass of red wine, Fri I went into Newcastle and drank water, and had the most rubbish night ever, then last night I went to the theatre and straight home. Im struggling to go out with the alcohol factor, so find it easier just to stay in, guess it's saving me money in the long run too.

I have blitzed the bath room today and also decided it was time to start on the boxes in my spare room - I would never ever normally do anything like this on a Sunday!

Day FIVE !! I'm sat at my desk in work and I'm feeling very happy - my trousers, which were too tight last Monday, are definitely looser. I can't believe just five days on the CD can make a difference to the size of my waist - brilliant !

Now for something not so pleasant...I haven't had any "movements" since last Wed, is ok to take laxatives while doing CD? I've never suffered with constipation before so not really sure what I can do except for taking laxatives?

Yes it's fine to take Laxitives or you can buy some from your CDC.

5 days without "emptying" yourself is not good.

Get something as soon as you can.
