Welcome back Claire!
I started CD about 8 weeks ago, having lost 6stone on LL and regained about half of it. I have now lost 1stone despite the fact that I have been struggling but I am determined to keep on going, I HAVE to get back down again, and if I have to do it slowly, then I will!
I really hope you get the support you are looking for on here. I certainly find things easier when I can post. They are a great bunch!!
I am sure you can do it, and it is FANTASTIC that you are doing something about it now and not after 3 stone up like me!!

I started at 18 10 or more, not sure how much as I didnt wiegh myself much back then.
Went down to 12 7, back up to 15 11 and am now 14 10.
I want to get to 10 10 if I can, but we will see. I will gladly settle for a decent size 14.

I know you can do it, and these girls can help. they are good humoured, generous, kind and sensible. Many are also wise and gracious. very accepting too
still, enough mush
see you around

Hi Katie
i was just reading through this thread and realised i didn't reply to you I am sorry. i am not very computer literate and didn't expect such a good response i couldn't keep up. I should have known i would get a good response because you all seem so nice on this forum.
well done for getting back onto the diet. it would have been so easy just to give up but you are obviously really strong willed to be able to get back on to the wagon. Are you SSing? how are you finding it? Is Cd very different to LL?

P.S i love your avatar (sp?)by the way I love Finding Nemo!

Hello Ails,

How are you doing with your diet? I have to confess that i have read a few of your posts about your trouble tolerating CD. ( i feel like a peeping tom or a spy - lol) which plan are you following now? How are you Finding it?

karen,

my sister has twin boys and stupidly i just assumed that you had two boys as well - completely illogical - lol. i bet they are gorgeous. how lovely to have one of each.

So how is everyone doing today?

i am glugging the water i have had on litre so far and aim to have at least 4 litres today. How much water does everyone else try and drink?

Hello Claire, you sound very posititve today!

On LL we have to have 4 litres minimum. I aim to have a pint of water when I get up each morning, then at least 2 litres by midday, which leaves 1.5 litres across the afternoon and evening. It is much easier when I am in work as I have a 2 litre bottle on my desk which I swig from. I find weekends hard and really have to plan my approach, or I would probably have none at all! I also make sure I have 2x 2litre bottles always full in my car, so I have an emergency supply if I go out and forget to take anything with me. Once you establish a pattern which works for you it will become second nature each day.

Vikki.

Hi Claire

I did my fair share of lurking before I posted so I wouldn't worry about it!!!

For my sins I am on day 4 of CD!!! Armed with fybogel and a bumper pack of Andrex.

Thanks for asking

How's things going for you?

Ails xx

Hello everyone,
Sorry i haven't replied but having a bit of trouble with my hand eye co-ordination. And i am not even drunk. accidently closed the window before sending message this morning so am having to re write it now as didn't have time to try again this morning.

Vikki, you sound very organised with your water intake. i wish i was as good its all or nothing for me i do really well one day and then not so good the next.

I am feeling quite positive the last couple of days. since i have got back on the wagon i feel better and more in control. i found that when i was eating "normally" i was feeling really guilty and bad because i knew deep down that i still wasn't happy with my weight and needed to lose more. i feel back in control now and i've reset my boundaries in regards to what i can eat.
How are you doing today?


Ails,

LOL a bit too much info had a mental picture of you going off to the toilet with a roll of loo paper under one arm and War and Peace under the other. Sounds like you maybe sometime
I am doing ok today BUT i went to DD friends house for lunch and because i don't know her mother that well i ended up having a bagel for lunch which i didn't really want or need. However, There was a pudding which consisted of thickly covered choccie biccies and iced donuts. which i didn't touch or want. (((((pats self on back with smug grin on face)))
Of course if it had been Cheesecake i would be typing a different message Mmmmm cheesecake(((drools in Homer fashion)))) so i suppose it could be worse. But despite this blip i don't feel bad because i know that it won't ruin my diet and that i still feel in control.

How are you doing today? Did the fybogel work?

Mmmm, tricky one the lunch thing, rude to refuse but still an awkward situation. I would probably have eaten too! And I'm right with you on the cheesecake issue!

Vikki.

Hi Claire

Yup - some people say too much information

I say.....share share that's fair!!!

Ails xx

Ails, you are soooo giving!!
Vikki

Hi Claire

Some people say overshare

I say.....share share that's fair

Ails xx

OOOOOhhhh... spooky double post from you there Ails?????

Weird - it booted me out and I couldn't remember exactly what I'd put.

Have had a long day clearing up yet more of the tw*t's mistakes!!!!

Ails xx

Oh dear... better stay here and keep typing then lovely!! Better that than fridge diving- an underrated sport enjoyed predominantly by women and very drunk students!!

Vikki.

LOL ........I fell into both of these categories at one point!!!

Ails xx

No offence taken claire no need to appologise!!
LL was great, and I would never have been able to do CD as well, if I hadnt done it first. The counselling side of it was really helpful to me. I however prefer the taste of the CD sachets!

It gets easier to not give up if you see what I mean Claire! and really now its not about will power as much as it is about realising that each decision I make about food is only one decision, I can make it a good one or a bad one, free choice, If I make loads and loads of bad ones in a row I will not help myself, however, it is one decision at a time, and one two or even 652 bad decisions do not mean the next one has to be bad!
free choice you see
then, hopefully if I make 'good' choices, or, as I prefer to see them, helpful choices just more often than the unhelpful ones, I will still lose weight but at a slower rate, however I am learning all the time how to make the choices I want to!
see you later, wierd preachy thing over
ttfn

ps, the avatar came from a site recommended to me by mamatutu, in fact, she found the avatar for me, as my 'tag line' was just keep swimming, because thats all it takes!!

Hi Claire,

Fistly a very big welcome back to the wondeful world of CD!!!! You have had such a great weight loss in the past and there is no reason why you won't get to your target quickly and easily!

I form part of Karens twin club too (maybe we should start our own boards karen!)

I have twin boys age 3 1/2 - well I call them boys but I should really say twin terrors! I conceived them naturally after being told that I would never have any more children due to severe pcos and one of my tubes being completely blocked. So even the docs get it wrong sometimes hun.

Keep trying and one day it may happen for you!

Good luck with the diet
