Hi everybody!

That's it, I am joining the CD family after 4 weeks of healthy eating :D

I have lost a stone in a month with healthy eating, with a huge loss at the start and a very small one this week. I think my body is getting used to eating normally. At this rate, I will lose 2 stones a year :rolleyes:

Because I need to lose weight quickly, I decided that CD was the diet for me. I have been thinking over it for a week now, so it is not a hasty decision.:p

I have an appointment with my local CDC tomorrow morning. I realised that if I don't try, I will always regret it! :D

Hi Elie, welcome on board! You've done brilliantly so far with your weight loss. I know you have probably cut down your carbs in the past few weeks, but it will help when you start CD if you do. I did for a couple of days before I started and didn't feel hungry the first few days, which helped get me to ketosis. All the best!!
 
Thanks Bobbin and mandye!

Yes, I have avoided carbs i the past 4 weeks, but not completely though :eek: Still much better than before :D

I intend to do CD SS/790 until I reach a BMI of 30/28, and then start going up the ladder, as I want to be able to exercise and tone my body :p I amy even stop before if I am happy with my figure, and go up the different plans :D

AND I intend to follow the maitenance plans religiously :D

I need to try or I will always regret it once it is summer and I can't enjoy myself because of my weight/fat/aches, etc. :D

PS: I don't need my GP's approval, but I hope he will be supportive, as I would like him to monitore me from time to time. And if he doesn't want then I plan on seeing a private GP.
 
hi, ive just had my meeting with cdc, and im soo ready to fight the flab and lose the stones, i have never been so motivated and excited at the same time especially about dieting anyway, my cdc had amazing photos of herself and it really inspired me, so tomorrow i start the shakes, mine wasnt a hasty decision ive been waiting 5 weeks to meet my cdc and get my head into gear, ill keep you posted if you do too!! good luck xx
 
Hi Vickchick!

Thanks for your replies!:D

We can start together then! Well, I need to wait tomorrow myself but eh, what is a day in a lifetime?:rolleyes:

How much do you have to lose? I have about 7 st to reach my ideal weight (according to my GP), but I'd be happy if 5st had gone by august.

Hi Elie
I've seen my CDC and this is day 1 of my diet. I've a long journey, but I feel I can do it. You've done really well with your weight loss so far.
 
Thanks Meltdown :D

I lost a lot the 1st 2 weeks, as my body was taken aback by the lack of junk food :rolleyes:

I am so glad I found this website. People on here are an inspiration, and I have received help everytime I needed it :D

Only downside, I spend far too much time on here, it is so addictive :eek::p
 
Hi Elie

Well i have 6/7 stone to lose but im like you would be happy to lose 5 stone, well any stones would be nice at this moment in time, starting it tomorrow and im at work all week so hopefully that will take my mind off it all, head down and get stuck in, i soo cant wait to see the difference got my hubby taking pics of me so i can keep a record of my results, i have managed to lose half stone on my own in the last 4 weeks leading up to this so fingers crossed ill be at my goal in no time, keep me posted im sure you will be fine, i hope i get thru my first day ok.
 
Welcome on board and good luck!

Hi Ellie, welcome and congratulations for making the decision to start CD. You seem to have thought it over, I'm sure with your attitude you'll have no problems and will be at goal before you know it x

Good luck Vickchick and meltdown, its nice finding people starting at the same time as you, so you can compare losses as you go through.
 
Good Luck - you've definitely made the right decision.

Enjoy the journey - sounds mad, but it is quite fun, and let us know how you're getting on :)
 
Welcome to CD! I started 12 days ago and I am actually enjoying it! I lost 12lbs in my first week. I am aiming to lose 4stone by the end of May - and then another 2stone by end of July - but hopefully it will come off quicker than that as I have 12 stone to lose!! You seem determined to do it, so, in that frame of mind, I'm sure you will be successful.
 
Awww, thanks girls :D

You are all so nice. it never ceases to amaze me how supportive people are.

I will definitely keep you posted, and I can't wait to see the results either.

I can at last see a glimmer of hope for my holidays. Everytime, I go to these very exotic places, and I can't enjoy myself because of weight. And let's be honest, there are activities I can't do :eek:

People who have never been obese may not undersatnd but...I can't wait to be able to go up the stairs without being out of breath:rolleyes:

Not long to wait now!:D

Elie
 
Good luck! Today is day 14 for me and can honestly say It's the best diet I've been on (and I've tried them all) got my 2nd weigh in tomorrow.
 
Hi Lisa, Hope all goes well tomorrow for your weigh in! My No 2 is on Tuesday!
 
Well, I am back :D and I am very happy :D

My CDC is really lovely and easy to talk to (which I think is as important as anything else in this diet). We have agreed to a 1st target at 14st, which would mean I am overweight, and not obese anymore :D

I am on 4 packs a day, due to my height, so it is a bit more expensive, but still managable :D

I have already started, with a banana bliss shake. They are quite good. Of course, I wasn't expecting 4* cuisine :p

I bought my ketostix, and my water, and my hand blender, I am ready :D

I can't wait to see her next week to see how much I will have lost :eek:
