Hi all. I am thinking about starting slim & save, I used to do CD and managed to lose two stone on that but unfortunately put it all on and more!! What I was wondering was if I could do 3 packs per day but have a normal salad at lunch time. would this still work? the reason being I am on a very...

haven't been on here for a while! managed to lose 3.4lbs on thurs (over two weeks) which I'm happy with because I lost 4 the two weeks previous so with eating there's not much of a difference! walked 3.5 miles yesterday to town and back, planning on walking 4 miles a bit later to the...

happy day today! went into new look and tried on a maxi dress, normally id go straight to the 16 but they didnt have any size 16s or 14s, so I tried on a 12 just 'to see' and it fitted! I think a 14 would have been more comfy but im so pleased a size 12 fit me! :) my sisters bday today so we...

Well done that's great! thank you, I have to be more careful as there's so much temptation but il get there :) x

Hey sunflower! Haven't been on much been so busy with work etc, everything ok with me. how you been getting on? CDC is on hols this week but I've just weighed and lost 1.5lbs since last thurs which I'm happy with seeing as I'm having cereal, fruit and dinner! strangely still enjoying my shakes...

Hey :) I've seen a few posts recently about how worried you are about hitting target. As long as you follow the diet by the book, you will lose. You can't control what the scales say unfortunately. you've come a long way from 13 stone 8 and have achieved so much.. you have to try and not be...

My legs are killing me from yesterday's walk!! but all good fun :) I know I shouldn't but I got on the scales this morning and it's saying -1 since Thursday, the scales haven't done that so quick after WI for ages! so maybe the extra food is helping me :) x

Well ive been on step 3 since thursday. its going really well although I feel more hungry!! (not sure if its psychological or not) but loving the fact that tonight i can have home made chips, 2 eggs and mushrooms !! yummy. ive gone through loads of forums on the net and it appears that people...

luckily my consultant was really supportive! I am now on step 3 and made a chicken tikka masala Cambridge style! it was lovely and I have enough for work tomorrow too :) feeling better about it now xx

I've had a good think today. I am going to tell my consultant tomorrow when I see her that I want to move up to step 3. my emotions are all over the place at the minute so I think step three will be better for me until my holiday and then decide what I'm going to so after that. I feel quite...

Day 3 of restart for me :) must be feeling better as went through drive thru McDonald's to get my Boyf a meal! lol. still taking it one day at a time tho! 4 weeks tomorrow il be flying to Cyprus so the pressure is on!! x

Feeling a bit better than yesterday. I'm glad I'm at work during the bad days because it keeps me more on track. I've managed to have 3 litres of water already today excluding my shake water. so il have another litre before bed. my belly is rumbling so hopefully il be in ketosis soon! x

Thank you that means alot :) xx

Ok, so today has been a very emotional day! I came off plan for the weekend as I had my cousins hen night last night. today has been a case of getting back onto it (we all know how hard it is) I have been feeling low because although I know being overweight makes me unhappy, eating food makes me...

I know, just feeling a bit bored now! got my Cambridge recipe book today, there's a lovely curry in there il make in the week! hope your getting on ok and thanks for the support xx

So, 2lb loss this week. Can't say I'm not a little disappointed as I could be on SW or WW and lose that in a week. I have a hen night on Saturday and I'm not holding back! Lol. Just not sure what to eat before hand so I don't get absolutely bladdered too quickly! 4 more Thursdays until my...

thank you :) good luck on your journey x

Good day today. I work across two departments, one of which is once a week. Today I had so many people asking me what I had done differently, one person outright said they could really tell I'd lost weight (they don't know about CWP) and another saying how my cheek bones were so prominent. Lol...

this is me just before Xmas. around 14 stone here... yuk!

Hey jodi.. course we aren't going to judge! as long as your back on your feet!! glad today is going ok for you :) xx

today has been a good day :) i drove to my friends, then we walked to the local retail park and walked around all the shops. was out for over two hours and it's such a nice day. just made myself an omlette and treating myself to a cherry coke zero. makes such a change from water! x

I know :( but at the cinema u get all the nice foods too lol! thank you :) xx

Yeah I agree it's only a few months :) if it was any longer I wouldn't be doing it haha xx

I've been fine all day but this evening I've found it a real struggle. I used to spend my weekends enjoying food with my friends :( now I'm always bored. I know id be ending up fatter if I never started CD so I have to look at it from that perspective. I'm sure il feel better in 5 weeks when...

Ahh the sun is shining and always puts me in a good mood! spending my day cleaning (fun) but stops me thinking about food! have a lovely Saturday everyone x

that's actually a good idea! I may change my scales to kilos! x

I tend to weigh myself daily as I am a serial weigher.. lol but I really have to stop xx

I totally agree. I've told myself I'm not going to weigh myself til Monday. il be so annoyed if I don't lose over the weekend!!! haha xx

Thank you! it gets easier so dont give up! I didn't think I'd ever last a month lol but I have :) x

thank you :) hope ur getting on ok xx

Thanks! x

Aww :) I'm too determined to give up. a lot of people would say I'm mad as I'm quite big chested so I don't look like the weight I am. but I'm determined to see the 11's for my holiday! how are you getting on? x

Positive day today. My best friend started Cambridge too yesterday (we are both really bad foodies together) so I'm happy about that. plus I realised that I've been doing Cambridge exactly a month today, so with one weekend off and a 20lb weight loss is an amazing achievement :) Ready to kick...

Had my WI today for weeks 4 and 5 as CDC was away last week. lost 5 lbs in total so that's 20lbs in 5 weeks. would have loved the extra pound but I can always get that next week. also ordered a recipe book from her which I can get next week. Starting 810 again today, SS was too harsh for me...

Hope your feeling better hun! you will be back into ketosis before you know it :) xx

I'm ok, got my WI tomorrow - not sure how I've done!! getting a bit bored now if I'm honest so I've ordered a recipe book off my consultant so I can have some variety :) xx

well done! that's a great loss :) xx

I know :) ahh well done, Chinese is my downfall! let me know how ur WI goes tomoro! my scales have been stuck the last few days! not sure why but I'm sure they'll get movin again :) xx

Hey :) course I don't mind. yes I love seeing if the scales go down but not happy when they don't budge lol. I have a dress already that I got a few months ago and it goes in under the bust so I think it will fit regardless of what I lose. altho I am keeping my eye out for another one too just...

Hey there :) welcome to CD! I started on the 3rd March and have lost 18lbs so far, it really works :) and it gets better after a few days. keep the paracetamol on standby too, hot baths and early nights are good during the first week or so then you will feel fab! Alli xx

fab post. one full month left before my holiday so I need this to count. good luck :) x

Day 9 SS I am a serial daily weigher.. it's been 12.10 for 3 days now and I'm beginning to think it's because I've had the bars the last 2 days. Going onto SS+ tomorrow because I've got work, so maybe my loss this week isn't going to be so great after all! Will have to see if not having a bar...

I did 810 from 4th march for three weeks and lost 15lbs, it was then my birthday so I had a couple of days off and started SS last Sunday so today is day 8 of SS. I haven't had a WI yet so interesting to see what it says on Thursday! have you got a goal/aim? x

You will prob feel tired and headachy the first few days! baths and early nights are good for the beginning days! :) xx

Hey Jom.. of course not.. this is somewhere I just ramble lol! how's it going so far? are you doing SS? it does get easier!! xx

p.s happy Easter too :) hope you've had a good day x

I know it's the only thing that's stopping me, I dont want to be naughty! been very up and down this week so I think il start 810 again after my next WI x

well seeing as it's national eat chocolate day I've decided to have a chocolate chewy bar. hmmph. I really fancy Chinese and that is my downfall :( x

Had quite a good day today. not feeling any hunger and had my first bar too - yummy. it's my cousins hen night in two weeks, I wasn't going to drink but I have decided I am. I keep swapping and changing my mind as I don't want to go too much 'off plan' but I've got to the point now where I've...

that's amazing! well done :) x

Woke up today feeling quite reformed and in a great mood! today is day 7 SS and been 100% so far.. I worked out yesterday that there's 6 full weeks left til my holiday so I think il be able to do it til then, obviously taking one day at a time!

So my scales say -3 since last Friday which I think is amazing :) just unfortunate I don't get an official weigh in this week but hopefully it will be another 3lbs next week taking me to a stone and a half in exactly a month. fingers crossed :) xx

hey gem hope your ok :) x

Ahhh I'm so up and down. I'm over the moon with my weight loss but not sure how people can do this for months on end?! :( I really want to lose more for my holiday but part of me just wants to exercise and eat healthily. but then it won't come off quick. doesn't help I hardly had any sleep last...

thank you :) xx

Day 5 So far so good, going shopping today.. lets see how I deal with the lovely smells today! the scales say 12.12! so that's two down from last week. but I will officially weigh tomorrow. I have awful, awful bellyache (TOTM) and it's so sore. was up half the night! and I feel a bit sick too...

Hi, I agree with the above posts :) it was my birthday at the weekend and I took the Friday night and Saturday off. I was really full after every meal and tbh I couldn't wait to get back onto SS on Sunday. on Monday my scales said +5 but with plenty of water that was off by Wednesday and today...

well done! that's fab. I really like the oriental chili soup.. put the water and soup into a blender with a bit of pepper and then put it in a cup like cupa soup :) x

Well done! that's an excellent result :) x

have fun!! x

quite pleased with today. had my first shake at 11.30 and didn't feel like another one til 5.30 so hopefully that's a sign of getting over the hungry stage :) I am going to weigh myself on Friday as an 'official' WI as I don't get weighed by CDC until next week. I think if I track it it will...

Starlit_Cazza - 14bs PinkPussy - 14-16lbs Chlo - 16lbs allibongo123 - 10lbs

hello :) I started on step 2 and managed to lose 15lbs in 3 weeks. good luck x

Well done :)

Thank you so much :) I think this forum is amazing! I always look at it and it gives me so much motivation to carry on! Day 3 was the most hungry for me but I'm feeling ok today. apparently day 5 you are over the hungry stage! 7 weeks today il be on that plane to Cyprus so I need to be motivated...

Well done :) xx

Hey Day 4 for me! feeling rather good today. I normally don't have my first shake til about midday as it helps me for the day ahead :) have a great day xx

Day 4 SS Feeling good today! still a bit hungry but think I'm getting there! plus it's payday tomorrow.. always a good thing :) annnnddd my scales say in the 12's!! (last week my scales said 13.0 when CDC said 12,13) so at least mine say 12.13 now (it's the little things in life) haha. that...

Mmm I forgot how much I liked the oriental chili soup!! actually tasted good :) x

Thank you :) I know it's mind over matter but it's a rubbish feeling xx

So so hungry today! headaches aren't too bad but the hunger is terrible :( hopefully will die down tomorrow! all I want is a big bag of chips with loads of salt n vinegar... totally bad for me I know but I need to get over the hungry stage! xx

That's a while away and it's your 21st - you deserve to have a day off. Yes I think I was in ketosis while on 810 but hopefully ill lose a little bit being on SS too. Good luck :) x

Hey :) I just wanted to wish you both luck :) I've been on 810 for 3 weeks and lost 15lbs, had a blowout for my birthday at the weekend now I am on day 3 of SS :) so far so good xx

Yeah it has to be honest especially after my carbfest at the weekend but all I'm getting is mild headaches, nothing too bad and 4.5lbs of my birthday weight has gone so hopefully with doing SS for the next week before WI I can get a good chunk off (wishful thinking) lol. Are you still getting...

Hey Gemz, I think it's a good idea you've gone onto a higher plan, hopefully you will start to feel better and see the weight drop off again :) xx

Day 3 another day!! and 4.5lb of my +5 from over the weekend has gone :) so hopefully I can do SS until Tuesday and SS + on Tuesday and Wednesday whilst at work ready for WI on Thursday. I'm ideally hoping for about 6lb off, may be disappointed but that would align with my 3lbs a week target :)...

So fitting x

End of day 2 Ahh why are all television adverts about food? Mmm leaves me salivating at the mouth! fed up of going to bed super early as I'm up at 7am :( going to try and stick it out for a few more hours tonight. feeling ok so far but drinking so much more water than what I'd normally be at...

thank you all :) x

very hungry today! didn't even have my first shake early, had 2 litres of water so far but aiming for another 1.5 x

Eeek! no more than 3 a week?! just shows you what each consultant says, mine said one a day but nothing about the weekly allowance xx

Day 2 SS Ahh! Woke up with a sore head so paracetamol taken already.. I am not giving in. Lol. Plan for today - B - chocolate mint shake L - strawberry tetra D - vanilla shake Off into town and helpin my friend with some decorating so hopefully mind off it today :) x

Thank you Gemz! I'm down 2 today so far so good. woke up very hungry but waiting as long as possible again before first product. have a good day :) xx

End of day 1 SS had a lazy day, didn't have my first shake until 12. so it's been ok. hopefully the next few days will be better as I'm trying to make plans. the scales said +5 :( after my birthday bonanza lol, really hoping that will be gone in a couple of days xx

maybe it's worth speaking to your consultant about it on Wednesday :) x

I have the choc and lemon here but didn't want to have them on day 1 as they have higher carbs than the mint choc one :( boo. I just have to remember how I felt a couple days in last time :) xx

Just had a dark mint choc bar. it was absolutely vile! won't be having one of them again for a while. been laying on my sofa all day feeling a bit sorry for myself! but I will continue :) 7 weeks til holiday. xx

that's good to know thanks :) x

well done! that's a fab result! x

I went pretty mad, lots of carbs unfortunately but felt full so quickly. haven't had my first shake yet, just hoping il feel good by this time next week. I don't think I'm going to have a bar every day as I don't want to rely on them and because I'm off I can have a shake instead. to be honest I...

I understand where your coming from, my fella is so skinny but can eat anything. perhaps it would be good to miss the bars out but I didn't think that stopped ketosis? what is your BMI? have you thought about maybe doing 810 to see if that brings back your losses? xx

ooh that's promising :) as I'm off it means I can get more water down me too which always helps. trying to wait as long as possible before my first shake x

Yes I have paracetamol on standby thanks! lots of carbs consumed yesterday! So glad to have the week off so I can do this 100%. Hope you have a good Sunday xx

Ahh Gem.. are you feeling better today? when do you get weighed? xx

Sunday - Day 21 I.feel.so.groggy!! I ate lots yesterday, but less what I'd normally eat pre-diet, made me realise what I used to eat!! Back on plan today.. trying SS this week and pretty nervous. I think ill be able to do it. I'm not standing on the scales until at least Wednesday..hopefully...

Of course it's worth it :) how much have you lost all together now? Apparently them sticks aren't always accurate..?! Hopefully you will hit ketosis soon. I have 7 weeks until my holiday now. need to get back onto it good and proper tomorrow.. but got a feeling it'll be hard! xx

Hey! thank you! I'm feeling rather bloated and still going to frankie and bennys tonight (I don't do it by halves lol) not gonna stand on the scales til at least Thursday! and drink loads of water ha ha. hope your having a good Saturday xx

Oops sorry it said it was an error the first time! stupid phone lol

Well done on your loss lauren! sorry to read about your break up :( hope your ok? xx

Well done lauren! sorry to hear about your break up :( well done for getting back on track today though. xx

Day 20 It's my birthday! I am 26. happy birthday to meeee! haha. having a day off today, good and proper aswell. starting SS tomorrow instead of 810 and don't get weighed for another 12 days so hopefully I can still lose a chunk before next WI. I am goin to enjoy my day first though. Happy...

Thank you! have a great day xx

the photo on the left is when I started 14.0.4lb 3 weeks ago and on the right is today weighing 12.13.2. thought I would share :)

Thank you :) x

I lost 3.4 lbs this week so thats 15.2lbs in 3 weeks :) :) coming off plan tomorrow as its my birthday but back on track on sunday and will try SS for the week as on annual leave! well chuffed x

Sure is :) just hope I can continue! Good luck for your weigh in :) It's a two week gap now for me between WI so hoping for a big one next time :) xx

Managed to lose just over 3 lbs this week :) so that takes me to 15lbs lost in 3 weeks! on annual leave next week so going to give SS a try :) xx

I think it's chilly everywhere today! where I am it's weather warnings for heavy snow tonight and tomorrow! Fun times :) lol xx

thank you! lost 3.4lbs so that's me now at a 1 stone 1lb loss! and in the 12's :) xx

That is a long shift! I used to do them permanently and they killed me! hope your in ketosis today hun :) you have something to keep you on track for the next couple of weeks which is good. hope you have a good day xx

Day 19 The weather is shocking! can't believe we have extreme weather warnings in march :( WI at 10am so not going to eat anything until then x

Ha ha :-) really well done though, that's a fab result xx

Well done!! it's my third WI tomorow :) here's to next week too x x

Day 18 First day of annual leave, weighed myself and my scales say down 2lbs since last Friday, so lets hope tomoro at CDC house they say similar :) lots of water today again to help! it looks nice out there but bet it's freezing cold! B - vanilla shake L - strawberry tetra D - 2 egg...

Ahh glad you've had a good day. yes 12 days off, thinking about walking if the weathers nice but it's so unpredictable!! xx

Ha ha nice suggestions! normally I'd be going out for lunches etc. not this time xx

Thank you! but I'm home now and off for 12 days... what am I going to do with myself?!! xx

Hope you've had a great day 3 ! xx

Hey :) thank you! I'm feelin a bit better today so I know it might be slow some weeks and better others :) can't believe this is day 17 100% normally I've well failed by now!! go me :) x hope your getting on ok :) x

Hey gem :) hope your ok today xx

I'm feeling exactly the same... so hungry today! I am waitin til Friday for my WI which is also my 3rd, fingers crossed for you too xx

You didn't fail, it was totally understandable and you've done SO well. you've brushed it off and started again which is the main thing :) xx

So today has been another hungry day! not sure what's wrong with me :( my original WI was on thurs but had a msg to see if Could re arrange for Friday but that's cool with me. already been for a bath today but think il be going for another one soon! x

At least you have made the place the way you want and love and will save doing it in the future :) I lost 6.6 in my first week and 5.2 in my second, so 11.8 in two weeks on 810! I know that's still a fab result if I don't get much this week but for nearly starving ourselves it's a bit...

Hey Gem :) happy moving day for yesterday! hope you are happy in your new home :) maybe it was good for you to have a mini break, it may shake your body up a bit! you did so well to last 8 weeks with no slip ups, big pat on the back for that. I am now on week 3, feeling really crappy ATM not...

Hey sunflower :) do you think you would get on better with 810? the losses are nearly similar apparently and then your not depriving yourself of food completely? xx

Day 16. All my other diets I've been on in the past I've weighed daily cos that's what keeps me going. I've weighed myself daily since last Friday and the scales have.not.budged! for near enough starving myself I'm not a happy bunny! I know I've lost 12 lbs in the first two weeks but that's not...

it's so unfair. the weeks are flying by so at least that's something. mm spag Bol! be good and step away! it's the first day today if someone offered me a fat meal I'd take it off them in a flash x

Day 15. oh Lordy. today feels like the beginning all over again. so hungry it's unreal. been craving foods all day, not sure why I'm feeling like this again :( every morning I've had a vanilla shake with milk, this morning I was gagging it was that bad lol. think I have to change shakes as I'm...

day 14 can't believe how fast the last two weeks have gone. and totally 100%. so proud of myself for getting this far, normally id be caving at the weekends. I'm quite worried for the next couple of weeks as I'm on annual leave, and I find weekends really hard, plus with ages to go before...

I don't think you will if you get back onto plan straight away. I've tried the oriental chili soup that isn't bad but don't like the leek and potato. have a lovely meal tonight x

step two is fine, I look forward to the small meal each day but if I'm honest I'm gettin bored of the shakes, so looking forward to trying the bars. well done on your weight loss :) x

hey Gemz hope your ok xx

Hi there Nicola. I am on day 14, not on sole source but 810, also 5'5 and my starting weight was 14 stone. How are you getting on? x

well done. Mmm I love chips! getting slightly bored of the same shakes so can't wait to get some bars! x

today is day 13 for me and everything what has been posted I echo. but fitnessphobe that is such a true point, I am 26 next week and been dietin on and off since I was 18, makes me realise I am doing this once and for all. thank you for reminding me x

the amount of 'Chinese' statuses that are on my facebook are making my mouth water lots! that is my ultimate downfall! never mind, tomorrow will be day 14 100% :)

mine are Thursdays so I know what you mean, next week will be here before you know it though and more weight lost :) x

I am on 810 so I have a bit of a furry mouth but not much of one! yes I have found some motivation from somewhere too :) I am going on holiday in 8 weeks so hoping to lose 3lb a week until then (hopefully). I am the same I think it's more mental as if I'm on WW or SW I would be like 'I fancy...

hey lauren course I don't, just somewhere where I post my ramblings :) well done on the loss that's fantastic. I did Cambridge before for the whole of 2 days lol but more determined now. im sure you will be slim jim for magaluf :) are you staying on SS? x

thank you :) x

have a lovely day x

Day 13. woke up this morning with a banging headache. doesn't help that the weather outside is horrible!! (and I need to go out in it) plan for today B - vanilla shake L - chocolate tetra D - mushroom and spring onion omlette S - chocolate mint shake Goin out tonight with my friend just to...

il be on the straight and narrow today! day 13 100% :) x

il be 26 so just a normal birthday :)

Hi all :) hope I can join in this thread?! I started on the 810 plan on the 4th march and I have lost 11.8lbs so far! I have about 4 stone to lose.. going away in 8 weeks with family so hope I can have a good chunk off by then! good luck everyone x Alli x

Hi all :) how is everyone getting on? I'm on day 12 of the 810 plan and I have lost 11.8 lbs so far! it really does work :) hoping to have lost a stone by Thursday (my next WI) hope everyone else is getting on ok :) xx Alli x

Day 12. Day off today! plan to take the dog out for a long walk at a nearby park :) other than that then a bit of cleaning. I'm really happy that I've managed to lose 11.8lbs in 10 days, I know that week three is slow (so I've read) but hoping I can get to the stone mark by next Thursday. jus...

thank you! it's my birthday a week on Saturday so I think I may come off plan for one meal but start up again on the Sunday. hopefully will be in the next stone bracket by then :) xx

Can't believe I've lost 5.2lbs this week! that's jus under 12lbs in 10 days! x happy happy! x

I lost 5.2 lbs which is around 12lbs in 10 days :)) x

Had a couple of good days. today is day 11, can't believe I have stuck to it this long already. No crisps, chocolate or fizzy drinks!! and more importantly Chinese (which is my downfall) I'm so proud. 2nd WI today then hopefully I will stick to Thursday's to weigh in. :) x

Well done! that's amazing! are you sticking with the 810 plan or moving down to SS? I have my 2nd weigh in today! x

good luck, hope you get on well :) I'm sure you will. well done on resisting the munch for so long otherwise it could have been worse :) x xx

Hey Gemz, Hope you've had a good day today. When I've been on other diets I used to literally starve myself until I got weighed. but if you do the same every week then it will be a true result. hope you have a fab WI :) Alli x

well today I've been in a great mood all day. not sure what's up with me! B - vanilla shake L - chicken salad D - choc tetra S - choc mint shake I'm at the bingo ATM and all I can smell is lovely chips lol but I'm resisting, jus need to get through tomoro for another weigh in on Thursday :) xx

Hey! Today I feel great, and someone has said I'm losing weight on my face lol, she doesn't know about the diet. the carbs I can eat on 810 range from more of the SS+ options and things like chickpeas. and 80g of particular veg. Good luck for WI tomorrow, I'm sure you will get a loss :) I'm...

I don't drink regularly but when I get a break I drink 750mls water so it equals to about 2l a day. I was told because I'm on the 810 I won't be in ketosis but someone on here said it depends what foods I'm choosing from the options.. so I'm wondering if I'm dipping in and out.. if that makes...

Hey :) I feel ok today, bit hungry at times and headachy but apart from that Ok thanks :) getting weighed again on Thursday so that's keeping me going. Well done for not indulging today :) so what did you have yesterday? I'm sure you will have a loss on Wednesday :) xx

Day 8 Today has been good, slight hunger at times but hey ho. B - strawberry shake L - chicken salad D - strawberry tetra S - choc mint shake it's been so cold all day today. can't wait for bed! x

my week two WI is on Thursday morning :) I started on 810 but on annual leave soon so will probably do SS then and see how I get on. Good luck for the week ahead xx

I do feel great with the result. Although yesterday I was in Birmingham city centre all day and the smells of different restaurants made me feel depressed and want fat food! but I didnt order anything, feel better today though. 4 weeks you will be at 10 st in no time. Sending you the positive...

today has been so much better than yesterday :) had some chicken and mushroom for dinner and it really filled me up. don't even feel like my last shake but il make myself have it. looking forward to the week ahead. how far are you into it? x

Well done, that is determination! x

Today has been so much easier than yesterday. Just cooked up some chicken and mushrooms, added an egg and milk and made a mushy omlette lol. so much fuller than a two egg omlette :-) been out and about today, not felt any hunger apart from this morning when it took me ages to make my first...

today has been so hard. I went into Birmingham city centre and all there was was the most amazing smells :( it's left me starving all day. all I wanted to do is pick up a Chinese menu and order something! I haven't though, this is obviously first weekend on plan and it's so hard!! :-( boo! x x

thank you! I must say today has been so hard! went to Birmingham to see the family and went into the shopping centre, all the smells have been delicious! :( now all I want is food! but I won't give in! well done on your loss! xx

was weighed last night after 5 days. 6.6 lbs lost and my jacket also feels looser! so going in the right direction. looking forward to next week already :) xx

Hmmm. I weighed myself in boots last Thursday and I was 13.13. today (I couldn't resist) it says 13.9. I started CWP on Monday so not bad I suppose? I weighed in at 14 stone last Friday on my consultants scales so I'm wondering what il be tomorrow! I really shouldn't have weighed but was...

had leek and potato soup for lunch, not as nice as oriental chilli!! when I meet my consultant tomorrow il be swapping my porridge and other soup back with something else..!! bulk! x

That's some willpower! I actually look forward to my meal and I prefer to mix my shake with milk allowance. I think that's what's kept me going xx

That is crazy how people get told different things!! you have done so well :) well done. I'm on day 4 now and my head is pounding.. drinking water and just taken some paracetamol! xx

Day 4 Day off today thank god. woke up this morning with a bad headache and a kind of 'ache' all over. I had strawberry shake for breakfast which was nice, altho with no water not sure how I can wash the blender out for later on! Going to sit in all day to wait for a plumber to come out.. how...

Thank you! looking forward to getting weighed tomoro although I don't think il lose alot as got weighed last Friday then had a foodie weekend and started on Monday. we shall see but I think next Friday will be a better picture of how I've done. lol I know waiting til 9 to phone them! won't be...

ahh.. tried the oriental chilli soup, not bad not bad. feel so weak though at the moment, hoping it gets better soon over the next couple of days. my stupid tap fell off earlier in the kitchen so we now have no water (Boyf had to turn the system off as the water was p1ssing out) so will be on...

Aww gem try not to be disenheartened from it, I can only imagine how your feeling thought. how much have you lost overall? as that's the bigger picture. has your consultant said anything to you? well done for sticking at it at dinner, if that was me I would be thinking sod it. you have done so...

Day three morning - choc orange shake, didn't like this too much but I think it was because it was so early! mid morning - strawberry tetra lunch - prawn salad dinner - going to try the oriental soup feeling ok today, still feel a bit weak though! be glad of a day off tomorrow. meeting my...

Hey Good luck for WI tonight, bet it's been a long two weeks!! have fun at your meal too :) I'm feeling ok considering this is my 3rd 8-6 shift since starting the plan but will be glad of a day off tomorrow. I have felt weak in the mornings but as the days have progressed they get better xx

Very good pictures! it's good you have the old place for another two weeks to help you decorate etc :) no, was at work yesterday :) I've woken up very hungry but had a good sleep so that's part of the battle! have a good day chick x x

it was actually nice! I'm going to bingo tomorrow after work so will find it difficult to resist chips! I was told by my consultant that I wouldn't be in ketosis as on 810, but someone on here said if I stick to the lower carb food choices then I will be. are you on SS+ now? I've had about 2...

Hi there :) I started today! so far so good. Good luck :) xx

Hi Gemz, hope today hasn't been too stressful? I started this morning and still going strong! :) x

Day one Going well so far, had a chocolate shake this morning for breakfast, blended with 250ml skimmed milk from my allowance and tasted rather nice. mid morning I had a strawberry tetra and not bad either. just had prawn salad with vinaigrette. not very much to be honest. I finish work at 6...

thank you :) x

my consultant did say it was a new thing she had recently heard but in the next line said I was an adult so it was up to me.. lol. I think the small meal each day will keep me going, I am on A/L in a couple of weeks so will try SS then, if I'm in the full swing of it when I get back to work...

Day one... positive mental attitude!! x

thank you x

Well well, I am starting the CWP tomorrow and hoping to use this diary as something to keep me going. Over the next week or so I will probably be posting random stuff on here to keep me thinking anything else other than food! I am starting on the 810 plan, I have 9-10 weeks until I go on holiday...

Thank you :) Cant wait to get started now x

Hi all :) My names Alli and I'm starting the 810 plan tomorrow. I have about three stone to lose so I am raring to go. Met with my consultant on Friday night, was told I shouldn't do SS as I'm a nurse. I am going on holiday for my cousins wedding in may, quite a few of us going so really don't...

I live in Northamptonshire! the town is big but jus crap haha. quite glad I'm starting this diet because it gives me an excuse not to go out! yep last day of freedom but as I'm doing 810 I hope I don't have temptation to cheat as food is involved! lol. bought ice today and my blender can only...

Ahh.. so went out last night it was rubbish! my town is crap for nights out. but got a hangover today :( jus wanna start this diet can't wait for tomorrow lol xx

don't!! think how far you have come.. and ur weight loss on Wednesday will be amazing! why not go for a hot bath or something xx

Yes starting on step 2. she did say that if I'm off for a week at a time I can drop down to SS. I'm off for just over a week in a couple of weeks so il give myself a boost then. yeah I've read people can still lose alot :) yep, my starting weight is 14 stone and .4 of a lb! lol. I'm mortified...

thank you for that :) I can imagine some people don't take into account the cooked and uncooked weights but jus thought I'd ask :) x

hello there :) met with my consultant last night, wanted to start on SS but was advised against it as I'm a nurse and apparently nurses shouldn't do SS? anyway, I am happy with 810 however noticed all of the allowable foods are uncooked weights. I am a lover of prawns and have always bought the...

Well done for sticking to it :) that's some motivation!! :) ahh bet the massages were great.. much needed I bet! ooh bet your looking forward to Monday busy week ahead! just had my meeting, the lady was lovely. but.. as I am nurse she has told me I shouldn't be doing soul source :( so I am...

Hey, how was the meal? Hope it was nice :) my CWPC is coming tonight, I'm nervous! I got in from work an hour ago and I can't stop eating, I think it's because I know I'm not gonna have food from Monday onwards lol. hope you've had a good day xx

Hi Gemz, Glad you have had a good day, you must be so proud of how far you have come :) I can't really comment about the food, but generally reading through the posts that seems ok. can you go to a harvester? someone was on about having plain chicken. try to relax though.. but not go too mad...

thank you for that, will buy one this week :) x

well, the question is there, I'm starting Cambridge next week and want to buy a decent blender so my shakes will taste better, any recommendations And I would be grateful :) thanks in advance x

I cant wait to start now, I'm looking forward to it but just know the first few days are going to be hell!! lol. Ive told my friends this weekend is my last night out in a while so hopefully wont be too tempted in a few weeks! (weekends are so boring when theres not alot to do!) I will just need...

Good evening! I'm seeing a CWPC on Friday evening however I have said I don't want to start until next Tuesday as day 3 will be my day off and I imagine il be the worst then. She is mobile so it's good that she can come to mine :-) I'm looking forward to starting it but also nervous, I'm a...

Ahh if I make 5 weeks then il be so happy!! I haven't Booked in to see one yet, trying to decide what day to start lol! wish I could start this week but got a night out planned next sat so it makes sense to start afterwards!! I'm hoping to do sole source plus, as I feel it will be more...

Hi there, My names alli, im hoping to start CWP next week.. I tried this before but stopped after my second day as was an emotional wreck, but as im aware this is one of the side effects in the first few days then i'm willing to give it another shot as I really want to lose the weight. What i'm...
