Thats great! You did it, didn't doubt you for a minute. 17lbs is great, soon it will be 20, then 25, then everything you want! The 13s must feel great :)

Yes im great, sorry, been manic with work and my photography business. I have just been relaunching my website and tweaking, its taken a while but its nearly there and live which is certainly a good thing. Still really focused and enjoying the diet. My sixth week is going well, and cant believe how quickly this is going.

My wifes Birthday is next week and we have a huge gathering where most people wont have seen the new slimmer me. I have kept all photos off facebook and been a hermit, so its going to be great. Im going to go shopping and buy some fantastic interim clothes the day before :) Then im going to put a photo on Facebook and see peoples reactions, as I haven't mentioned it to many people.

Yes not long till monday now! :) Im not sure what i would do without my weekly weigh ins. Im interested to see the impact of the bars on weight loss, so only took 3 this week rather than 7, as i don't really need them, and have a shake instead. Not that I am not happy with the losses I have, but you hear so much about them having a small impact, all the small bits add up.

I really cant wait to go shopping next saturday morning, its going to be great :) Already earmarked the shops i want to venture into :) A complete new outfit is in order!

Your weight loss is great, and above the advertised amount. A loss is a loss, and it really will start to add up. 12's will not be long away im sure. Its funny how we set ourselves goals based on weight isnt it. Many people noticed and mentioned your loss yet? Wheres a picture MRS! if you dont want to post it here, add me on facebook. I will pm you my facebook info.

Have a great day! :)
 
You two are doing so well! Bayboy, I'm so excited for you for your wife's birthday and everyones reactions! My birthday party is at the end of November and some of the people there I won't have seen since before starting CWP so I'm hoping to be 3 stone lighter and it'll be awesome to see their reactions!

Have a good day and good luck for your next weigh in!

I know i cannot believe how soon Monday is coming... looking forward to my weigh in... not sure how i'll have done, but its nice to keep an eye on these things!

I haven't yet tried the bars, still just sticking with 7 soups and 14 shakes a week... i do not want to impinge on my weight loss at all, especially as mine isn't huge!

Yeah, the shopping should be great fun, i imagine you will love being able to fit in so much more, and i imagine shops that you didn't use to shop in? i can't wait to treat myself to a complete new outfit, but i think i will wait until i nearer to goal! i still have some smaller sized clothes in my wardrobe that i think i will use in the interim!

No, no-one had noticed or mentioned my weight loss, but i am also being a hermit and i haven't told anyone about the diet apart from colleugues at work and my main family! i also, now it is cold, live in cardy's and they are my original size and make it quite hard to see what i have lost... i noticed today though that my trousers are starting to look a bit ridiculous as they ae huge in places and give me a comical look where they sit empty and loose.... hard to imagine, but trust me they look odd! i will have to try and go through my wardrobe at some time and see what is now fitting me again! =0)

Sorry, i haven't got a picture on here, will have to try and find a nice one, however we can def do facebook..... be warned though, i have not mentioned my diet on facebook and wont be doing so anytime soon!!!crazy maybe, but i just dont want to go public with it at the moment!!!

So anyway. how's your day going>? you got much planned for the weekend?
 
That's the bugger with winter... Lots of layers! I too have been a bit of a hermit and next Saturday will be my first proper outing :) today has been busy, full day at work then home. Cooked the wife a stirfry, Thai chicken, smelt lush :) then went for a run and did some other fitness bits.

Theis weekend we are doing some work in the house. We have had new doors put on, a couple of new walls and a few other bits, so need a real good sort put. Also having a dishwasher put in so that is exciting. :)

Reactions are great, especially the double takes people do! Well done on your journey so far, its amazing! And just short of the halfway mark too!
 
Some of the stuff you've cooked, and especially the photos on fb, look amazing!! Some of the meals have made me hungry! Naughty you putting such delicious photos of food on fb! I have no idea how you can cook stuff like that and not eat it... Your amazing dude!

Wow a new dishwasher, exciting stuff! Sad how things like that excite us as we get older and get our own houses!

Lol, thanks about the food. I'm trying to learn how to cook properly and healthily whilst on this diet, I have shifted my focus from being a consumer of food to a creator. I swear that's how I'm so strong and in theory when I finish I will know how to cook a hell of a lot more food and be able to vary my menu a lot, more away from so many carbs and combined with the vega tech I've put in, eat the fresher food around :)

The dishwasher is a little ironic at the moment, given I'm only using 1 bowl, 1 glass and a spoon a day. Lol
 
Very ironic! Yeah I don't need mine for my CD shaker, mug and spoon... Well be hugely useful when your doing all this cooking though! :)

At the moment I think I'd find cooking hard, however I have just had family over and I shopped at morrisons this morning for lunch, made all there sandwiches and dished up and have just sat through them eating a Carvery and chocolate fudge cake and am still 100% so its obviously getting easier!

Well done! Its a great feeling isnt it. I just made my wife dinner, decided to give the wok heat and cooked up two dishes, Stir fried Scallops and King Prawns with Mangetout and a side of hong kong style mixed veg. She loved it. I watched a documentry film this morning in the bath about an Australian guy who did a "Juice" diet for 3 months, and he did really well. Very tempted to add Juice into my diet after i come off Cambridge, it seems a good thing.

We had a complete change down stairs today, We re wallpapered the study, put in new desks and all sorts. Very productive.

Hows your day going?
 
Yeah its been good thanks... Spent the day with my kiddies, parents, brother his oh and his gorgeous daughter... Just a quiet day relaxing and chatting and them eating... I'm also trying to arrange a 4th birthday party... So lots of fun! :)

4th Birthday sounds great, much fun, chaos and mess! Although not as fun as when we where at school, due to all the intolerance's, health and safety and overly clean freak parents.

Well, today is weigh in day! About 5 hours until I step on the scales. I really cant wait. It the start of a GREAT week of fun, My Wifes Birthday on Wednesday, Shopping for a new outfit Saturday morning and My wife's party on Saturday afternoon.

Its odd how your cdc measures the .5's, mine does not bother. Whether that be a good thing or not, im not sure! :)

GOOD luck for your weigh in today!!!
 
I hope her birthday will be huge fun, but maybe without too much chaos and mess as i'll be the one clearing up after it!!! LOL!!!

I'm feeling both nervous and excited for today's weigh in... Not going till 6pm but will let you know how it goes... let me know too how you do!!!!

Yeah sounds like you have fantastic week coming up! Are you planning to eat at your wife's party and then come back to CD on Sunday???

My cdc measures the .25's as well!!!!

Best of luck to you for your weigh in too.... can't wait to hear how you do!!!!
 
Eat, Eat.... are you mad? Lol.... no eating for me, im being good!

You will be fine, surely surely the weight will come off! :) Thats mad that your CDC measures the .25s!

Oh....... and im happy, weigh in done.... Another 1 inch off my Neck, Waist and Chest. Thats 7 Inches off my waist in total! oh and 7lbs!!!!! :) Only another 1lb to go and im in the 15's!! :)
 
Hell! That's amazing! You are doing so fab.... 7lbs!!!! (I'm very jealous, in a good way!!)

I'm just finishing at the office then im off to see my cdc.... i know i will not get 7 pounds like you, but hope i may get 3!!! fingers crossed! I have stuck to this religiously so..... we shall see!!!!

I assumed you wouldn't eat, but it is a special occasion... you are being good though, and it will be worth it! You can have fun without food!

Not long now! =0)
