Hi Babezone and welcome aboard the CD train Dizzy!

I am on step 2, 810 cals which is 3 shakes and a low cal meal at night. At first it was tough, tough, tough, all I thought about was food, the biscuits in the cupboard, cheese sarnies...It was literally torture. It does pass after about a week though and now, nearly 2 weeks in I dont think about food, am not hungry al, the time and have lost weight In the first week I lost 7 lbs and am due to weigh in again on monday although ive had a sneaky weigh in this morning and so far 4lbs gone, so hoping to lose another lb over the weekend and make it 5 lbs so that will be 12 lbs in 2 weeks....

Its completely upto you hun. All I am going to say is if your not committed 100% to the plan then your going to fail......you need to WANT to do it and focus on it with everything you have. If step 2 is really too difficult for you then go to step 3, you will still lose weight but at a slower rate. This would be no good for me as I get disheartened if I dont see instant results.
Good Luck with which ever you decide to go with.

[xxxjacxxx]

Glad your giving it another go Helen

I have to say I'm finding it pretty easy now.....waters not a big problem just all the pissing

My tiny meal actually fills me up now too.

weigh in monday woop!

 

[helen1234]

ye i was full up on my skewers i didnt have tea till 7:30pm and i havent had my last shake yet . will have hot chocolate tbh i think because i knew tomorrow was coming and i wanted to share cake with rhys on his first birthday it kinda did something to my will power lol, i'll ne so much better next week.

i've bought piri piri spices, bbq spicy, chargrill spices, to brighten the chicken up, i'm such a carb freak i find it hard to get my head round a meal without potato lol.
but i'd rather be size ten and slim than eat a spud.

and the thing i got to keep in my mind is. ITS NOT FOREVER
