Day 3!!
Hi there, I just wanted to say I started the CD in March and it really works! The hunger will subside in around 3 days, this is when your body go's into ketosis and starts burning the fat stored. I started back on it on Wednesday as came off it for a while (didnt put any weight back on mind you) I'm struggling in the first few days, but hopefully by the end of the weekend it will be back to second nature again. Good luck!!

Day one of the camebridge and hopefully the last first day of any diet
Hi, it's my first day too and i'm just having the mushroom soup for dinner, i am also starving and have only just resisted joining my husband in the pub. I almost convinced myself i should start tomorrow, it being monday which is the day i usually start. uti'm glad i didn't give in, i know i'd have felf bad about it giving in on the first day. I'm doing the diet for week as i go on my holidays soon and although i'd like to say i was going to stick to it whilst away, realistically i don't think i will. So, well done for almost getting throught the first day, keep me posted with your progress.

No you're not....
I'm sure you're not the "fat, ugly one" at all it's just what we put on ourselves! So tomorrow is the day! Be prepared (I wasn't) & I gave in too easily (many times) the days I did stick to it I felt very proud of myself - I just shouldn't turned to food when things go wrong (which as a single parent with hormonal,fighting teenagers & a very stressful job- is pretty often) However, I guess we just have to take one day at a time & one good day is certainly worth having! Good luck for tomorrow - keep away from food as much as possible & head for bed about 2100!!!!
Take care Diane x

With you alll the way!!!xx
Hi
Same here I have skinny sisters to,granted they live nearly 400miles away in Scotland so I dont see them that often to feel like the "fat sister" .. but I know what you mean.Well this is a 1st for me, my hubbbys work mate's wife did the cd and lost loads in a short space of time..so that was my incentive!..I find drinking loads of water(I drink at least 4 litres) really helps with the hunger, but I think after a few days the hunger subsides..good luck for Friday..

Day 1 for me too!
I'm starving too. Just having a black coffee. That's helping a bit! not as much as a kitkat would though! but I so want to be slim!No pain no gain !
|
|
|
How you doing?
So how is day 2?? Kitkat sounds wonderful! Unfortunately I don't like tea or coffee - so it's just plain old water for me! Bombed out yesterday (another Day 1) but been OK today - been messing around for a month now having 2-3good days & then falling off the wagon. So only lost 7lbs - I'm so cross with myself as has been expensive! Still it's good to see that some people are sticking with it, I've only just discovered this forum, so maybe it will help. Good luck & take care Diane x

Day 2.
Not as bad as I thought it would be.Still starving(obviously),but so emotionally ready to finally lose the weight I still feel very determined. My girls(5 and 6 years)had fish and chips for tea at a friends house and I'm sooo proud that I didnt even sneak one chip!
Think I'm probably ketotic now(stinking breath and wee)! so didnt want to ruin all that fat burning opportunity!
Hope you havemanage to stick to it. It's very extreme though isnt it!

Fantastic
Well done Bex - think it's a kind of masochistic pleasure in denying yourself! It is extreme & ridiculous really cos we could just as easily eat a Mars bar a day & loose the same, after all it's only the calories that count! But there you go we all pay over this money in the hope it will solve our problems! My consultant turns out to be someone I used to work with, so whilst she's very nice, she's not really "pushed" me to get results & stick with it, which is a bit frustrating really as have already spent over £100 & only lost 7lbs, which is why this is my last couple of weeks. Still good to find this site & all the support, fingers crossed tomorrow will be good for us both - a day behind you - but dying for a wee! Go Bex!

Day 3....
Very hungry today. It's only 12.40 and I only have half a soup and half a chocolate carton to get me through till bed time! I havent had any of the headaches/lightheadedness/constipation stuff though!
It is a bit more scientific than just the calorie thing though isnt it. It's that that stops me cheating. Knowing that if i cheat I will unbalance the ketosis and stop burning fat. My husband is going to bring some wee testing sticks home from work tonight so I can confirm I'm ketotic (although the smell of my breath and wee makes me quite confident I am)!...Good luck.

New to it on day 3
Hello there well how hungry do i feel today, a little tough as i have ran in a fun run which was 3 and a half miles, so feeling a little weak. Now one thing that is worrying me is the bad breath please tell me that this does not last forever. Als weeing for England. I have got my first weigh in on Friday 7th of September. Any way you keep it up and good luck.

Hate to think..
what your husband does if he has access to wee testing sticks at work!! I'm really hungry today as well - heading for bed soon or I know I'll start nibbling! Been reading up on ketosis (my CD rep didn't discuss any of this with me - probably because we spent ages catching up on people we used to work with)! Clinicians don't recommend it for more than 14days max as can have long term effect on liver & kidneys. Still will be good to have a quick start & then go on to a more sensible & sustainable eating plan. How do you find the drinks, I only have the chocolate as don't like anything else, but even that leaves a funny taste in my mouth. The bars are no better, weird tasting but at least something to chew on (rather like chewing plastacine.) Hope you managed to get through the day. Was quite funny at a meeting my stomach was making the most awful noises - crying out to be fed - embarrasing!
Let's hope it's all worth it!

Day 4 ...
He's a nurse.
Still not feeling too bad. Have really suprised myself.Want to be slim so much now. If I dont do it now (i'm 41) I know I'll morph into my mum (she's been fat as long as i can remember)!
I like those tetra chocolatey ones(especially with a cup of black coffee or tea as I can almost kid myself I'm having a kitkat with my drink)!!!
I like the vegetable and spicy chilli soups. I try and have at least one soup so my children dont realise I'm not eating. I sit down to the table with them and have my soup.Really aware that it's not a good example to them but they are only 5 & 6 and it's also not a good example being overweight!
Trousers feel really loose today!
Keep it up....eye on the prize..! x

Good on you!
Sounds as if you're doing fantastically! Well done, I'm afraid I feel off the wagon AGAIN last night - just get so bored & so here we go again about my 30th Day 1! Guess I can't want it as much as the rest of you, but I think I do! Been on my own with the kids for 10yrs now - my daughter (14) already has a weight complex although she's fine (12/14) she's already a bigger build than me (I was always 10/12) now I verge into a 14 sometimes. They're used to me not eating for weeks on end - had bulumia most of my younger adult life as worked for an airline so looks were everything. Funnily enough my mother is tiny & used to comment on my size when I was a 18/20! Think if my supplier hadn't been an old work collegue I might have been treated differently, but she doesn't seem to bother that I've only lost a couple of pounds a week - need a firm hand! Keep up the good work, so pleased you're sticking with it! Also glad to know your husband is a nurse (that explains it all)!!! Have a good day, I'm going to try, off to gym & 4ml run - so that should help! xx

Try a new counsellor
Hi just read about your counsellor not being hard enough for you. Ther are literally dozens of them about, why don't you try another, i'm sure your friend would understand, she must realise that 7lb's is not as good as it could be, good luck anyway. It's my first day so i've got a long way to go x

A good influence
Hi Jools, sounds as if you've got your hands full! I've messed around on CD for weeks & lost 7lbs - just got so bored & I eat if stressed! Which with my job & kids is pretty easy. Nice supplier, but not very focused on weight loss. But today I stocked up & just found this site, so I'm going to start again in earnest tomorrow, so will only be a day behind you. Perhaps we can support each other as like you've I've tried them all! Good luck - can see plenty of early nights to stop the nibbling. Diane

So how you doing?
Hi Jools,
I'm sure you're gobsmacking gorgeous now, it's just that we don't believe it ourselves! How has Day 2 been for you? I'm just a pushover, had carton this afternoon & then shake this evening, but come 2300 I'm hungry & just want to nibble- so I did - even though have another shake available & those awful bars! See how pathetic is that? I've got about 21lbs to loose & a family wedding in early Sept, sometime I wonder how much I really want this. I wear anything between 10-14 so don't look too bad, just would like to get to my target once! Hope you're day's been OK???? Take care
Diane x
