Hi Obs! Sorry I didn't reply last week, I've been manic! Had my first weigh in, and only lost 3lb! I was really hoping for that big first week loss. But hopefully my body will catch up and this week it will be more! I'm trying to up my activity levels a bit, walked 8 bloody miles on Saturday...

Hi Obs! :) How did your first day go? I'm on day 4 now, I've drunk 4 litres of water and hat two shakes and the Macaroni Cheese (which tastes much better than expected). I've been struggling a little with hunger, but keep distracting myself with liquids. Still feeling positive! We just need...

So I'm back again! It's been years and years since I first tried CWP, and I lost a lot of weight last time (2st!) but I gave up, didn't wean myself off it properly, and piled it all back on again, plus a little extra just to **** with me. So I've spent the past few years on and off again...

Hi there! So this will be the third time I have started CD (Although the second time hardly counts, I lasted 2 days!). The first time, I had great success doing SS, I lost almost two stone, and dropped below 11st for the first time in ages, then, gradually, I gave up. Eating little bits here...

Woooh :D exciting stuff! I have my weigh in tomorrow, i'm pretty excited! Thanks for the motivation Ivory, you have put ideas of a having cheat meal in a few weeks time out of my mind. How has everyones monday been? x

Hey, yeah the boredom will do it. Thats what usually gets me too. Don't beat yourself up about it, just focus on not doing it again. :P I'm actually pretty chuffed, fit into a pair of jeans i haven't been able to get into for 3 years. Boooh yeaaah!! :D x

This is the new vintage dress, i can really see the difference in my waist. I'm wearing it at work now and getting loads of compliments. Happy day :-)

Awh I'm sorry to hear that jacksprat, i hope it doesn't last too long, bad backs are the worst! Ahh I haven't been to any bbqs this year yet, it would be horrible on this diet! Had a good day today, i fit into a dress I bought last summer from eBay that has always been too small! :-D On top...

Having a pretty feel good day today :-) it may just be the sun. Whatever it is, I'm glad. Today I tried on a vintage dress I bought last summer, that has always been too small... Until today :-D hooray! On top of that, i went to another vintage shop. Usually, im way to big for any of their...

Honk :-)

Hehe IvoryMarri, you are an absolute SAINT to have done that :P with a will of iron! I'm sure the Popcorn won't throw you off completely at all, i wouldn't be surprised if you still had a good loss :) You have done so well to have stuck with it as much as you can, it's often so easy to say 'oh i...

I also didn't trust my household scales, the weight they gave me was completely different than the weight watchers ones. While your consultant is off, why don't you weigh yourself once a week at boots maybe? I'd there is one in your area? That's what I used when I stopped going to weight...

You should try not weighing yourself in between weigh in's, i threw my scales away, and it was the best decision i ever made :) Otherwise, I would get de-motivated when the weight didn't change, and be more likely to cheat. You don't even need to throw them away, give them to a friend to keep...

Hey Flamingo Feet, I lost 6lbs! woop woop! You should pick up some fibre stuff, they have the cambridge diet fibre powder you can mix into the shakes, which has helped me out a lot in the toilet department, otherwise you should deffo pick up something, don't wanna get ill! It doesn't sound too...

Honk! :)

JackSprat At least kids have an excuse for being tactless because they are innocent, what about adults? Twice in my life, I've been asked 'when are you due?!'...they were so certain i was pregnant! Horrible. It's the motivation we need though eh? Well done CDanna :happy096: thats AMAZING...

Thanks F&F :) So far this week i've been 100%, and finding it easier again. I decided that this week, to lose the 3lbs goal, i wanted to step it up with some exercise. A while back, a friend and I bought a ******* vouchers for 10 fitness classes. They are mix and match classes of different...

Hey girlies, I thought I would introduce myself. I'm a 22 yo student, and i was diagnosed with PCOS when i was 17, with a blood test and an internal ultra sound. I had actually diagnosed myself, and asked my doctor to check it out. Once it was confirmed...nothing. I haven't had any follow up...

Have actually found it pretty hard today...I'm really craving savoury. I don't know if maybe i haven't drunk enough water, or if it's cos i've been a bit bored. Maybe a mix of both. Wah :(

Honk! WI today-6lbs. :)

God, that seems so far away. Week 3, Day 1, that's me. I can't imagine how i will look after seven weeks...pretty hot i'm hoping ;) Well done for sticking with it, I hope you are feeling pretty proud of yourself. :happy096: You do have a long way to go, but look how far you've come already...

Agh Ivory, that sounds really draining. :( I think, if you are going to eat anything extra, I think you should try to make it one of the sole source plus meals. Don't binge on carbs, unless you honestly believe it will be worth it to drag yourself back into ketosis again. You don't wanna be...

I had the apple and cinnamon, i WISH i had tried the porridge sooner, it was great! Actually feels like a proper breakfast. Will definitely be buying more next week for sure. I didn't get on with the two soups i tried, they were kinda gross. I'm not a big soup fan anyways, so that may be why...

I need to try ice in mine i think, i make all of my powders with a hand held soup blender, i think i will start keeping some water in the fridge to to make them with. Gotta mix it up :) Ahh thats AGES between shakes teapot, i bet you were starving. Well done for only having the tea and not...

Awh i feel for you, i have done that a few times now when i've gone to work, and it's been a nightmare. A tea with milk will be fine chick, it could have been a lot worse eh? Some milk is allowed on ss+ anyway :)

Hmm...metally taste, i didn't get, although a bad taste in your mouth is usually a sign of ketosis, although i would think it would be too early for you to be there yet, usually hits around day 3 i think :) What flavours have you had so far? My day has been good so far, had porridge for the...

Hey everyone, just been reading through the thread, and everyone is doing so well :) Can i join?! :wavey: I'm on SS, week 3. xx

Hi Smee :) Hope it's all going well with you, have you started the plan yet? I have pretty thin hair already, so it falling out is something that worries me, but I figured I would take the risk, in the end, it would be worth it to be the size I want to be. x

Wow, you've had such an AMAZING loss. You've made a change for the better, i can't imagine how much better you must feel health wise. Yay!! :)

Yay!! :bananalove: That's so great, must be amazing to fit back into old clothes. Well done! x

Hey good luck! Hope your first day is going great, remember, lots o'water :)

Just got back from WI, and i lost 6lbs! Yay, so that is over half a stone in 2 weeks! :) Pretty chuffed, although i was hoping for maybe a little bit more of a loss from my first week of doing it properly. Next week i'm going to add in a little exercise. I want to get into the 10's next week...

I think it's all down to habit, when it comes down to environment. I'm the same whenever i'm at work, because i'm used to having one of the pizza's we sell for almost every shift. If i got hungry, i would eat crisps, take snacks with me. Now, work is where i find it hardest to resist. But i...

Honk! Day 7 and stuck to it all the way! WI tomorrow :-D

Yay! Thats so great, up :-D well done! How much are you hoping to lose on total? I'm looking forward to being able to notice, day 7 today.. Eek

It could also be something much more complex that I have no idea about :-P all i know is they also advise not chewing gum also.

I think the idea behind not allowing bars in the first week is mostly about the chewing, that it can trigger your stomach to produce acid and make you feel hungrier, which will in turn make your life more difficult in the long run. Maybe they think 3 weeks down the line you may have more will power?

Well done for getting to day 3, it should get easier from today, as long as you stick to it! It's great you're doing it with your daughter, support is so essential with stuff like this :-) I'm essentially on day 6 (first week was a write off) and I'm feeling great!

I stuck with it, even went to the cinema and refused a sweetie from the OH and drank water, not coke! It's a miracle! :-)

Oh thats interesting, so essentially your kinda inbetween ss and ss+... Best of both worlds! :-) sounds like you have a good plan for the holiday, a good way to not go completely off the rails, but also treat yourself. Glad to hear your feeling better now! Yay for ketosis!

At work at the moment, forgot I had to work and had to rush in last minute. Didnt bring any shakes with me, so im staaaaarving. Had my last shake at 1. Huuungry me, I'm more and more tempted by the pizza we sell. But im gunna stay strong! Determined to have a clean cheat free week (not...

Kings of Leon?! Wow, very jealous. It might be nice to enjoy a gig sober? I know that for me, not drinking helps me appreciate music more, to the few gigs I've been too and nor drunk :-) Well done for getting through the hen party, did you still have a nice time?

Oh man, i feel ya. I work behind a bar, which is difficult on this diet at the best of times. But tonight, i was working, and it was also a huge birthday celebration for my co-worker/friend. Lots of booze, cake and sweets going around. But i stuck to water! Although i cheated with 1/2 a...

Today approached as a challenge. I was working this evening (behind a bar) and it was a celebration/fancy dress/birthday party for my co-worker and friend. These usually means lots of sweetie vodka shots (homemade), and a guranteed hangover the next day, as well as the normal pigging out on cake...

It gets better, usually around day 3. I felt like crap, headache, tired, no energy. i'm on day 4 of doing it properly (cheated my way through last week) and i feel fine now! Stick with it :) It will be worth it, i'm sure. (also...be sure not to drink TOO much water, i drank so much it made my...

Hi there, Im Gemma, and a 22yo student. I have PCOS, so have always struggled with my weight a bit. But when i was 18, i started to diet, and lost around a stone, and went from 10 1/2 stone to 9 1/2 stone, which was great... Until i had the contraceptive injection. worst.mistake. I had just...

You look so good, well done! ^_^ It's so inspiring to see for me, your starting measurements are almost exactly the same as mine, and you are 4ft11 too! Nice to see another shortie around. I'm just about to start, and i'm 11st10. Hope i can do as well as you have. x
