    Brocolli alert!

    Hiya, Brocolli is allowed on aam and the 810 plan so it won't knock you out of ketosis and it won't slow your weight loss down but just be careful it doesn't make you want to crave more foods. Personally I'd just say...enjoy! But then I'm not a CDC and they may give you different advice.

    Hi kerrie, Well done on on getting back to CD. You did very well to keep the weight off. You'll do great and you'll be a yummy mummy by summer! Good Luck Txxx

    Can I really do it?

    Anna, I've a similar amount of weight to lose as you. If you think it will help we can try and support each other. I too have been here and done it before and frustrated and scared about the fact that I know if I can finally lose the weight I will find it difficult to keep it off. I was supposed...

    Is anyone else as bad as me?

    Thank you. I sometimes don't feel normal and wonder what I've done to deserve such a weight problem. I don't want to be a super model..just normal! Sorry, I'm just feeling a bit fed up with myself.
  120. Ti@ra-M@ker

    Is anyone else as bad as me?

    Thank you all. It's good to know I'm not the only one like this. I have to admit I've gone and cheated tonight on day 3. I don't even have an excuse cause I'm on 790 and I had chicken salad for my tea...I just didn't stop eating afterwards! Oh well, what's done is done and I'll just get right...

    I'm the worst dieter in the world! I've yoyo dieted all my life and when I discovered CD last year I thought I'd found my answer.(hopefully that's still the case) I lost 32lbs, was nowhere near goal at that point but fell off the wagon and then put it all back on again. Started again on 14th jan...

    Week 1 weigh in

    Well after my blip this week I still lost 4lbs and 5lbs in the 2 days before, so 9lbs in 9 days. I'm delighted with that all things considered. I'm staying on 790 now though. I find it easier and I know it works for me. Thanks all for getting me through the 1st week. Tx

    Newbie and I could really do with some help please.

    Hi, I restarted CD a week past Monday and I had a similar blip through the week but i gave myself a talking to and accepted that I'm in this for the long term and made a decision just to get right back on track the next day. Although I had come out of ketosis, I got back into it fine but I...

    Mollymooch, Your pre diet menu sounds pretty much like mine was and I too worry about putting the weight back on again. It was all too easy done. We need to face up to the fact that our way of eating has to change for good when we're finished losing the weight and I feel that keeping the weight...

    Week 1 almost over and feeling fed up.

    Thanks Mintimperial and Loopy Lou, I'm feeling ok really. I had lost 5lbs before my official weigh on Wednesday in so I might have to come to terms that I might get hardly any loss at the official weigh in this Wednesday. I AM in this for the long haul though so I will try and look at my losses...

    Thank you all. It so helps to know I'm not alone in this. Maybe I should bin the scales!! I think that would take more will power than the diet! Tx

    It's Day 7 and wishing I could have done things a bit better. I started last Monday on SS and was really proud of myself for getting to day 4 and sticking with it. ( It's the 1st time I've managed to SS) then after getting upset I went and ate one evening. I got straight back on CD the next...

    B*gger-I cheated last night (Day 5)

    Thanks Angela, I'm fine. I've started again. Had a litre of water and a tetra. I'll keep going. I'm away to get on with some work at the moment but I'll come and have a chat with you later on if you're online. Tx ps He didn't do anything really bad just rubbed me up the wrong way.

    B*gger-I cheated last night (Day 5)

    I fell out with hubby and got upset. I'm annoyed with myself. I wasn't feeling hungry but I 'needed' that comfort food. I didn't eat anything tasty, didn't enjoy it and felt like cr*p afterwards. I've put on 1.5lbs since yesterday so not too worried about that. It'll probably be off again by...

    Just thought I'd say Good luck with your weight loss and hope day 3 is going well. My hubby and I are doing this together and are on day 4 now. We've both had the bars from the start too without problems. If you lose weight as quick as my hubby does on CD it'll take you no time at all to lose...

    Hi...final restart is now underway!!

    Just wanted to say Hi. I'm on my second serious CD attempt. I'm determined this is going to be the last time that I will have this much weight to lose. Last time I lost weight I did it with the 790 plan because I failed at SSing on day 3. I got on ok with 790 but because I'm a fussy eater i...

    Dancing Thanks.We'll see what he thinks once he gets up. He works 12hours on his night shift so he doesn't get home till 7am tomorrow morning so it's a really long stint. Good luck with your restart today too. Tx

    Hi, Hubby and I are starting again today.We did attempt a restart before xmas but social occasions and all that xmas food got in the way so here we go again. I have a question though. Hubby is on day one of CD but day one of 4 days of night shift too. He has a lie in today but is up and about...

    Ooh I was a bit wobbly this afternoon

    Hiya, Must be one of those days eh? I stood with a pack of bacon and rolls in my hands this afternoon comtemplating it in tears. Thankfully I managed to resist. I'd have been feeling really rubbish now if I had eaten it. Feeling better now. Well done on resisting your temptations. Tx
  210. Ti@ra-M@ker

    Is it normal to feel so tired?

    Thank you Dragon Fly, I'm feeling a bit better now. Had a soak in the bath (To avoid going and making a bacon roll!!) and a long hard think about things. I think I will survive. Tx

    Is it normal to feel so tired?

    Thank you Sam, I'm trying to stay strong but I'm also worried that I'll never get back to the way I was feeling about the diet 1st time round. I had becaome habit and It WAS easy. Oh well I've only myself to blame. Good luck with your restart. Tx
  213. Ti@ra-M@ker

    Is it normal to feel so tired?

    I'm on day 7 of 790 and I feel so sleepy. Is this just me or is that normal? It's maybe because I'm feeling so fed up. I'm a serial weigher and the scales haven't moved as much as I'd hoped. I'm thinking I've lost about 5lbs maybe. I know I'm impatient but I can't help it. I lost weight on CD...

    Hi, Why don't you try the 790 plan? Thats what I do and it does help me knowing I get a meal at the end of the day. A typical meal would be a chicken breast with a green salad. I lost over 2 stone on it in 8 weeks earlier this year. I stupidly gave up due to stresses in my life and put it back...

    lolly, Don't worry. I haven't done any exercise either! I don't think you're really supposed in the early days on CD. Hope the weigh in goes well and that you start to feel better soon. Tx

    Thanks for that. I'd be having 3 packs a day too so should be ok? It's basically the 790 plan that I'd be doing but swapping the chicken for other types of meat so it shouldn't be too much different from 790 as I see it... maybe a few more calories. I'm still going to try and eat the proper 790...
