Hello - can i join in?
Hello everyone
It's lovely to see all your comments as it can feel quite isolated doing CD as you don't have a club meeting to go to. CD is tough but I really think that it is the only solution for me becasue I find it SO hard to eat a little and be sensible. With me it's all or nothing! I have a lot of weight to lose so my plan is to bash most of the weight off just any way I can and then try to learn to eat sensibly once I'm at a weight where I can try and look at myself in the mirror. It's difficult to have self respect when you've damaged yourself with food as much as I have! Sorry, don't mean to get heavy here.
Anyway, last year I lost 3 and a half stone on CD. I put 1 and a half back on over Xmas and New Year (told you I was all or nothing!) and started back on CD last week. My first weigh in was this morning and I've lost 11 pounds so 10 more to go to lose what I gained.
Good luck everyone, please keep adding comments as they are really helpful with keeping up the motivation.

Hi
Into my 4th week have lost 20lbs so far, 11 the first and 3lbs the following 2 weeks. I'm finding it ok don't really have any dizzy spells but i do feel very hungary in the eve so sometimes have a 4th shake it's better to have that than to eat something else. I am trying to increase my water intake to 3 and half litres and am planning to do some form of excercise. I just want to say to everyone keep going it's tough but the end results will be fantastic.

Hi ann
Hi Ann, i'm on my 2nd week now and my advice is to try really hard to stick with it and make sure you drink plenty of water. I did'nt get any side affects really apart from day 5 when all i thought of was food but i am drinking approx 8 pints of water a day and that really really helps and i feel great. It is great to hear doctors are supporting this diet.Good luck and keep posted.
