Morning all

Poor you Dean, cant believe you have those little b*ggers back....have you got to go back for another scan? Fingers crossed you are pain free as soon as possible.

How is everyone else coping with life on CD this week? Im doing well, although im finding im thinking more and more about food and want to eat everything!!! lololol Im worried that when i get to target i will have a food fest and put it all back on over a week :cry::cry::cry::cry:

Have 2 sick kidlets today - sore tummys, coughs and runny noses galore at mine! Plus, the weather is rotten today so i have to get out undercover somewhere for the sake of my sanity. Thinking of local soft play for an hour or so - to let them expend some energy and let me chill out.

Going to be a busy one at work from Saturday - my company is moving premises, so i will be working 10 days constantly to help over that period....it may be tough, but we will have a new shiny building with WINDOWS!!!! Working in a lab without windows for all this time has been depressing - we now eventually get to see sunlight! And with Costas opening up in the place too - i will be caffeined out for months.

I have plans for swimming tonight, badminton tomorrow and hoping to join a couple of fitness classes from next week!! Nothing set in stone - just some ideas im throwing out there to myself!

have a great day all. Will log on soon.

Bye for now, Anni

Hi guys

Oh Dean honey - hope you manage to get rid of your stoney little friends without too much pain! I read somewhere, on here probably, that kidney stones can be a side effect of VLCDs, I wonder if it's a build up of all the vitamins and minerals that maybe your body isn't used to? Hope you are doing ok, let us know ok

Anni - how are the kids doing?

It's soooo great to hear you all getting stuck right into the exercise, I reckon it must be the changing of the seasons. I know the longer evenings are definitely getting me to want to be out there in it. I have been riding my new bike loads (and am hurting in places a girl really doesn't want to hurt) and am hoping it's doing me some good. I'm loving it, and all my mates are dragging their old bikes out of storage because I have been banging on about it so much! Heh heh heh, if only I had that influence over people when I need it!

Well I have had a really hard time getting back onto CD since last week, just couldn't get my head in order at all. But today has been my first day of not straying and I'm hoping it's going to be clear sailing from here on in. I ended up having 4 packs (well three and a bar) as I was desperate for something this evening, but I'm still counting that as a non-cheating day. I'm 5"8 so could be either on 3 or 4 packs a day, but have been doing 3 up till now.

Did any of us reach out 7lb in two week challenge? I hope so!

I'm going to suggest a new challenge for us who are well enough (), what do you all think is reasonable? How about another 7lb by the end of the month? That gives us exactly two weeks and gives us a nice memorable target?

Kate - fab stuff with your running babe, you'll be up Kilaminjaro next! Well done

Jackie and Rach, how are you guys getting on?

Love Dee xx

Evening all.

Sorry I haven't been on most of the week just been so busy with work I haven't had much net time. I am however on the wagon and enjoying it I weighed sneakily this morning and it said 16.7 so still going down nicely very happy. I hope by the time I get weighed officially next thurs I may be down to 16 stone what do you think, reakon I could do it?!

I hope your kiddies are better Anni back to school soon?

Dee- well done on getting back on it, having a fourth pack is far better than normal food. I have four a day and find it helps as I would usually munch at night so if I leave my first meal to later in the morning/lunchtime then I am eating the remaining three later on the day and it really helps me!

Dean- I hope your okay honey and the stones pass. Maybe this diet is taking its toll on you

Rach - where are you? I hope all is okay honey!!

Jackie- hope your week is going well honey and your enjoying CD

Night all xxx

Hi Team
Well having an upset tummy and TOTM palying up also , i'm bloated , something Deans is getting to know more about this topic , ops sorry Dean lol
Dean I see you are having gall stones , is this part of VLCD , I think they say if you lose weight fast this does tend to happen to some .
How are you feeling now ?
Kate ... go for that 7 pounds , give it 100% .
So far I have made a strawberry moouse and had that lots of water and also green tea , I would not go over board on green Tea , but its ment to do wonders for you , not for my taste buds I can tell you . I means to an end and nothing more . Been looking on the site for Next lovely clothes but I guess i'll end up seeing the winter clothes by the time i'm done , feeling cold today too hands are playing up .
Hoping for a better week too .
I hope everyone is going well ...............

 

[bigfella]

[Bride290809]

Evening guys

Dean - I hope your feeling better by the time you read this honey, will pm you in a mo.....

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Weighing myself in the morning for you guys but not seeing my CDC until thurs for official weigh in Heres going for that 2 stone loss milestone I weighed 16.6 this am which is only 2lbs away from it, so fingers crossed can smash it!!

love to you all xx

 

[chilli-chill]

Hi Guys,
Sorry i haven't posted at all this week. was feeling rubbish at the start of the week, funny tummy, light headed and no appetite. Plus, with the school holidays, work was mental!
It all worked out well for me in the end, lost 4lbs this week! but i haven't been to the gym for ages cause i have been so tired, at least i was getting my workout at work.
I am so chuffed with myself though - i bought a pair of size 14 jeans from wearhouse and they look great! also got a size 12 cardi from there. wearing both now and feel a million bucks! it just feels so good to wear clothes from a shop that i would never have been able to step foot in 4 months ago.

Sorry about the stones Dean, thats rubbish. My CDC said they can be a side effect of this diet since your gallbladder keeps churning out the same amount of bile you used to need for your old diet and when it doesnt get used it turns to stones. Would have thought you would be over that now though since you have been on the diet for so long, but what do i know. Hope you pass it soon

Kate - well done honey! glad you are back on the wagon and feeling great!

Jacks - Sorry you feel poo, sometimes it sucks being a bird

Anni - hope your still doing well and the kids arent driving you nuts, at least its a nice day today here in bonnie Scotland

Dee - great idea about another mini challenge! 7lbs off, here i come!

Off to see my CD now, speak to you all soon and lets hope we get another fab result on the team charts this week.

xx

 

[Bride290809]

Morning all

Well scales still say 16.6 this morning so 3lb loss for me so far this week but still happy with that!

Rach - sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well this week, hope your better. But fab about the loss and clothes well done chick

Hope to hear from you all later on too re losses etc

Take care xxx

 

[Bride290809]

The team score is 2.44%

So well done guys!

[baby_callalillies]

Hi all ;-)

Poor you Dean, theres only so much water you can stomach huh? Does the doc have any advice for you? Gallstones or kidney stones are something i worried about getting as i've had gallbladder pain for over a year, but touch wood! its not bothered me so far. It must be so depressing! You are a strong guy though, and i hope you find relief soon.

kate - well done! Gosh, you are becoming more and more focused - Im up for another 7lb mini-challenge. My wi is on tuesday, so i will count that as the start for me!!!

Rach, lucky you getting into lovely clothes! *envious* I still have such a long long way to go, almost half way though!! Seems like its been such a trek, but then on the otherhand, its gone in really quickly. Im now selling my big clothes on ebay, i cant believe the size 26/28 used to fit me!! Im now wearing 20 on top and 18 on bottom....still Evans style, but getting closer to shopping in 'proper' clothes shops. Its exciting, but sad at the same time as i really cant afford to keep buying inbetween sizes, so have like 2 pairs of trousers, a pair of jeans, 3 work tops and 2 weekend/going out tops!!! Now to find a nice jacket as my old one is a 24 and bit baggy!

I agree with the weather thing - its cold, but sunny here, so hoping to get out this afternoon after DH comes back from Golf.

Cant wait til nursery starts back, roll on tomorrow!!! Looking forward to the summer even more when one kiddie starts primary school and the other starts nursery!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Good luck for the coming week everyone... Well done jackie on being our big loser

Thinking of you all

anni

hi guys
big news, i passed the little f****r!!!!!!!!!
about an hour ago, for the first time, in what seems like ages, i have no pain!!!
so, back on cd, even though ive not eaten a thing, just had litres after litres of water, really bloated myself out and feel really big, but all that water must of helped to pass the stone, which is only the size of a grain of rice and its all jagged and rocky looking!
so, how are we all, im completely out of the loop.
great to be back team, must read all the posts now, oh god, bet they are gonna be full of TOTM/CLOTHES/TOTM/SHOES/TOTM/ and the things that are most important for all of you ladies, and should be top of the list..................... ironing, hoovering, washing, dusting, cooking, washing up etc etc etc. I know that Ive been down this route before, but just checking that you guys are taking care of the important things in life - now, go get you OH a beer whilst I read all those posts!!!!!!!!!!
How much are you lot cursing me??????
Only playing team, you know I love and respect you lot, now, stop reading and go get that beer!
You have to laugh dont ya!
Be good guys, hope everyone is well.
Gotta dash, Ive left the hoover on and the dinner that Im cooking is burning, the mop is in an awkward place too and my eyes are starting to water!
Love ya's
Dean
