There's no harm in doing this as an extra to your 3 sachets though, yum!

Have you seen the newest Dual Dynamics Success Story 10? What a BEAUTIFUL girl she is, motivation in a youtube clip :D

Oh Ria its hard to imagine that your tiny size has any bingo wing at all!! If I don't have a full-time job lined up when my son goes back to school I am going to do something about the wobble, perhaps one of these bootcamp things or personal trainers I have seen so much about on my facebook. At...

Thanks Ria, they are particularly flattering pics though as my awful arms are covered by a cardigan (never wore one out before but it worked for the day to night thing!) and fit and flare dresses cover my hips! In terms of 'looking your weight', after being a WW leader one thing I have learned...

I have two bags of clothes in the hall to go to the charity shop but you have given me a new lease of life for ebay! I usually get fed up trying to get to the post office around work but as its the 6 weeks hols I don't need to worry about that I guess! Today is my first day back to 100%, no...

Yes Ria I have seen your struggle and sympathise, I have been slim before and always struggle the smaller I get, it just becomes less important. The thing with this is that a week off is so extreme in comparison to a week off weight watchers, Ive put on about 7lbs in just over a week which is...

Ria I am in the same place as you right now but without the previous success you had! Everything seems to be a reason to stall getting back on it and I don't even enjoy most of the rubbish I am eating. And like you it is the good stuff I miss on plan yet when I come off I use it as an...

So you can guess from my absence that I have been very much off the wagon! I have reasons but not good ones, I could've powered through on the plan if I wanted but I chose not to. The reasons being - my CDC going away for 2 weeks gave me a mental green light to keep cheating, no weekly weigh-in...

So what did you eat? You did so well to get straight back on! To still lose is fantastic!

No it was a mix of banana and toffee shakes, not bad really. Eurgh its not going well at the moment, far too many cheats slipping in this week, got on track then hubby commented on how he misses eating with me and was I going to go back on weight watchers. After he brought this up a third time...

SCHOOOOOOOOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER! :party0011::party0011::party0011: Its a little bit of a bittersweet day for me today as I am extremely looking forward to having time off and being able to relax however my contract was only temporary for a year and it has not been renewed so at the momentb as of...

And yes you can see clotted cream, jam and scones... Avoid eye contact!!!

And look what I've just had to power through - cakes and coffee from the food tech teacher who is leaving! There will be more tomorrow...!

1.5 lbs off by my scales this morning, take my weight 'officially' tomorrow. Happy with that since Tuesday! I'm gaining on my healthy bmi plus 1 stone weight so this may be my last SS week although I would like to do it right until York and may need to after depending on the damage x

When I had a weekend off over 4 days I gained 4 pounds. I lost 6 the next week which doesn't happen for me! When you come out of Ketosis your body stores water again so sometimes the gain appears more drastic at first! I went off plan this weekend and gained half. Getting weighed again on Friday...

I can't help as haven't gone beyond step 2 but hoping you keep posting as so little around after step 2!! X

Oh I found this pic earlier on my comp, I remember looking at this pic after my hubby took it and I couldn't believe how slim I looked and felt really good! That was at 10 stone 5 and I'd like to go another 10 lbs below that :) The 3/4 jeans I am wearing are my 'slim' jeans, Ive only ever fit in...

SS+ 100% so far today and 3 litres of water drank, keep saying in my head "the more you drink, the more you shrink"! I am aiming for 3 litres a day now, upping from 2.5 litres, see if thats gives things a boost. Today could quite easily be a 3.5 litre day the way I am going but I do worry about...

Well my weekend started OK on Wednesday evening, I was great until Saturday evening. I even have PHOTOGRAPHIC evidence of me eating a a subway salad whilst my family ate fish and chips on Friday evening!:angel09:, thats was tough and also ice creams they had afterwards! However this angelic...

How about slim n save website?

Hi, I am still here! Is anyone else?! So I took the leap this week and changed consultants, I just LOVE my new consultant, she is so bubbly and just my type of person :), I think she will make this journey more interesting as she is someone I can relate to and chat with. My old sessions were...

Oh and on the evenings I will goto bed and watch Tv from 7 onwards, I find it easier as I'm then too lazy to go downstairs for food a d avoid my hubby munching! I do feel a bit of a bore but he is often quite busy at night anyway as he runs his own business. He is about to do 5 weeks work with...

Why not try SS+ or step 2/3? I'm sure it will ease you in much easier and you can then decide if you want to drop back to SS. Believe me I do not find it easy, I have to do SS+ as the three products just don't satisfy me. If this wasn't so expensive I would have given up but I've invested too...

Ah Carly we posted at the same time, I wondered where you had gone! I guess the thing for next weekend is remembering you're nearly at the end so can afford a minor setback, you must be the clothes size you want now?? I cannot wait to go up to step 3, if I thought I'd continue with the same kind...

Hey Lauren , I'd be put off too if someone cancelled twice, what if you needed products urgently?!! I think it's so important that you like and 'click' with your consultant, you need someone you look forward to having a chat too and my most successful WW times were with leaders who I now...

15st5 post pregnancy Weight creeping back up, roughly 11st10 - problem area arms! around my slimmest - 10st 7 I am getting Internet back on Saturday, have some better full length pics to demo. A few that when I saw them at the time I didn't believe I was as slim as I appeared! Any tips...

So was 100% today but SS+ not SS as planned, had extra bar and milk in cuppas. I was starving after lunch bar so had another at half 3. It would've been a battle to go til bedtime with nothing else so why put myself through it?! Dug out some photos to demonstrate my weights - About 13 stone....

Glad to help, what did you have?! X

Chicken breast , tuna, white fish, low far cottage cheese Lettuce, cucumber, green pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, spring onion There's more but they are most common x

On a roll today , my cleaner has just arrived who I haven't seen since I started cambridge, he was quite interested himself at the time so knew I was on it. When I opened the door he was very complimentary (he's quite flamboyant!) about how good I looked, feeling a bit skeptical that he may have...

I've decided today will be a 100% SS day. I haven't had a SS day in a long time and I'm hoping I can do it for the rest of this week. I am at a christening on Sunday but not too worried about the buffet, ill just avoid it and have a bar with fizzy water. I would like ideally to return to SS for...

Apologies for stupid iPhone spellchecker and my poor grammar in that post. The question marks at the end were supposed to be emoji emoticons! X

Well last night I took the plunge and arranged an appointment with a new consultant. I can't put my finger on why I don't want to stick with my current CDC but there is just a feeling that perhaps the diet is not really a big part of her life as she works a full time job and does cambridge as a...

I've had the orange, now trying the berry. They are quite an art to perfect, too little tastes like you've put a Splenda in and too much is too strong! I lost 6lbs today so now hit my first stone, hopefully do the next stone in 5 weeks rather than 6! I'm sure I only lost so much coz of my gain...

Has a slow building cold since last Wednesday and just put 2 and 2 together - could this explain why I've struggled so much this last week, has my body wanted more food while I was ill? I did have a weekend off last week (3.5lbs on!) but I thought it would settle by now but food cravings are...

Haha about the ham, licking crisps is worse though, especially when I offered them to the dog after hahaha Yes I'll be pretty much SS+ this week too as it helps me, made chicken curry last week with just chicken, water and tandoori spice. Had it with cauliflower 'rice'. Another night I enjoyed...

Tables not tablets though! Some gyms & tan shops have them too x

I normally weigh on Monday 5.30 but moved to tomorrow as consultant needed to. Well I have also crept things in so don't feel too bad, I am doing SS+ days yet still having a cuppa or two with milk even on the food days. On Thursday evening I licked (how desperate is that?!) about 7 Pringles coz...

I can't wait til I can buy size 12 jeans, never done it yet! You're cheats don't sound like cheats at all! It will be great if you still lose, ! I need another 2 days off at the end of July and going to be much more controlled but its a boozy occasion so I'm now dreading that as I don't want to...

Carly are you enjoying your day off!?! Realised its our half way week, praying the second half goes quicker as CWP is more a way of life now and less of an obsessive novelty!! X

I am missing the food now, so much for no dramas! Got that burning stomach feeling, on way back to Ketosis I guess! Although I miss the rubbish food I'm no where near giving up and trying to remember it was quite disappointing! It's really great hearing from people with similar stats, I hunted...

Quick update - 2 days off became 4 days off! Started on Friday night with a small takeaway, ate all weekend trying to cram all the good stuff in (which was disappointing in the end and I just made myself feel sick!) carried on into Monday despite intending to restart then, but was at a course in...

May, it is good to know there is someone on a similar track to me, I sometimes wonder if the bigger losers are more prominant because they post more of their success (not bragging I mean, just don't feel dissapointed like I did which would maybe make some people stay quiet?!). Bessie I never...

You're doing fantastic!!! X

Good idea for sticky!!

I love mountain biking with my hubby, put that on hold when I started but think I could introduce that again, I wonder how to balance the calories used with the intake as heard you can put body in starvation mode. Maybe stick with small local rides for now til I'm on step 3...miss forest rides...

Thank you, I know I wouldn't have lost this much on ww/sw it's just not been as dramatically fast as I had hoped, 12 a month would be good still so hopefully it's just settling into a pattern. Thank you for your reply. I do wonder sometimes if its the bigger losers that post more in celebration x

2lbs off again this week :( Disappointed I haven't hit a stone in my first month :( does anyone else lose at a slower rate than what seems to be everyone else? CWPC has suggested introducing some exercise now. I have mixed SS and SS+ and been 100% on plan. Bit deflated, it definitely won't be...

Well done Carly, i am very jealous!!!! Weigh in was 'only' 2lb off :( I am trying to be mindful of the bigger picture, 10lb in 3 weeks would never have happened on WW and if I lose roughly a stone a month then I'm happy really so just hoping for a better loss next week and know that big and...

I would love to know how people have faired when they took time off plan. Please let us know - how long you were off plan, how bad were you, how did it affect your weigh-in, did it impact on your overall losses (was the next week good!?) Thanks, really nervouse about 2 night hotel stay that is...

Hi Carly, Its great to meet someone at the same stage as me! I will be very jealous (and very pleased for you!) if you get your stone already as I am heavier than you but don't expect to lose more than a few pounds this week - I'd love a surprise though HINT HINT to the weight loss gods ;)...

Just a quick entry today as I am at work (breaktime!). Four weeks ago I wore my blazer to an interview and my arms hurt as it was so tight! By the end of the day my fake tan had rubbed off in a line where the sleeve has been tight (upper arm) and it was very sore! so three weeks into...

I love the orange flavour and have the berry on order to collect tomorrow :) it's a real treat in sparkling water and keeps me full through the evenings :)

I took a photo of the food page so I always have it with me on my phone :)

I stuck with 3 products yesterday, enjoyed my cuppas :-) I put on my work trousers this morning after nearly 2 weeks and they are loose, a few weeks ago I was picking my tops strategically as they were so tight you could see every unwelcome curve around my belly. My first real moment of feeling...

Thanks, it seems the obvious answer but any deviations from plan make me wary! Common sense told me it should be fine but I'm taking nothing for granted! X

Very Icy shake??

That's great, yes can see when you look the strategic pose haha. I am putting a photo diary on soon although not much to show yet but maybe a bit of weight history in pictures! I hope this summer I can wear a skinny dress, maybe with the help of spanx for my wobbly tum! Do you find people treat...

That is such a transformation! Had you ever wore those slim fit dresses before?! I have never been slim enough to but that's the new goal, I wasn't sure that I could ever wear them but after seeing your pics I can see how teeny a person can get. How many comments do you get?!?!!! What does your...

I decided to have 200ml skimmed milk from SS+ but not the extra product that you can have. It doesn't seem like it should matter to not have 4 products but is there any scientific reason to have the fourth product if you have the milk??!!

I guess I am right now, I have about 5 days I will be off plan over the remaining 10 weeks, some will be more in line with an 810/1000 cal step and others won't be! I am focusing on these days and gathering treats for those occasions that I have made my husband hide! I am also prepared for...

I think she hasn't used it, she said not many people buy it but I think she hasn't used it and probably forgets to suggest it! You're right though it IS on my page 16 :) I have managed to mix it into 1.5 litres and still tastes good :)

Isn't it odd how we all taste different things!!

Ah ok, I'll be careful then x

Excellent thank you, I am much happier with flavouring x

I have seen it mentioned a few times on here, my consultant was not aware of a maximum amount. There is nothing on the pot it comes in to say this either. Can anyone tell me where this idea has come from? Thanks

I am on week 3 day 1 and had 3 SS+ days last week on the days where I was more active. My Consultant says it is fine to do this and from what I have read, it would only equate to a pounds difference a month doing SS+ full time so a few days really shouldn't impact x

Had my first peanut bar, we! Tastes of sawdust and tobacco (I imagine) and has left that as an after taste!

Second weigh in and I lost 2.5 ponds taking me upto 8.5 pounds off. I am quite happy as long as I lose roughly a stone a month and therefore I am not focusing too much on the weekly amounts but focusing on the bigger picture. I have had 3 SS+ days this week and they have really kept me going...

I hope you dont mind if I call you WW, RR And LPD as its easier on my phone! Thank you for your kind messages. I had a very busy day again today shopping in York, I may sound like a lady that lunches but I'm not! My husband is self employed so when he gets a chunk of cash we have a splash out...

It's end of week 2 for me on Monday and I cannot wait to get my bars and water flavours! I think my body struggles on SS, so this week I have mixed in SS+ on my busier days and this really improves everything, I sleep better and am not starving at night. This week I have had 3 SS+ days, 3-4 a...

I also feel properly empty after too, lighter, which was rare for me normally! Haha x

I got it this week and have gone more and it was a much gentler experience - not too gentle though ;) it's not a laxative so may take a few days to kick in but for me it seems to have made things easier x

Day 10 today and my hardest day so far in terms of will power and energy. My hubby took me and my son for a shopping day which was lovely apart from I realised that a shopping day is not half as fun without a nice lunch and coffee break! Even worse when I do not want to buy any new clothes...

I had to buy my book off my CWPC x

Sorry my Internet was playing up didnt realise I had posted!!!

I'm not allowed bars til week 2, I think it WAS Ketosis related... I have felt better tonight even without a meal so a SS+ here and there I can definitely see the benefit of!

My CWPC won't let me have bars til week 2... X

Maybe the bars are? My consultant wouldn't give me them til week two x

Great thanks look forward to setting my stats too x

Oh I'm very jealous, looking forward to sparkling orange water and a bar! Appreciate the small things now haha x

Gotta post 50 times x

Thanks for this! I'm allowed flavouring and bars from week 2 which will be Monday for me. Was looking forward to it as I drink lots of squash usually and hate water alone! Never thought of adding it to fizzy water, that will be amazing for when out and about too at cinema etc. :-)

I can also feel very weak leading up to the time I am due a shake. I am back at work next week (teacher) so am anticipating *possibly* switching to SS+ if I don't manage so well in the week but hoping it will help being busy and in routine!! X

Yes me! I am also day 8 of SS, I do not feel so hungry in the day but my tummy gurgles like mad at night and my sleep isn't great. I had a SS+ meal last night and that really helped and i think it has also kept me going today as feel less hungry however I'm eager to stick with SS longer but have...

Oh I get bars next week, cannot wait!!! X

I'm so frustrated by this!!!

Re: tuna in brine. Brine is saltwater, salt can make you retain fluid x

If you always do what you've always done- you will always get what you always got! Keep this in mind!! X

Impatient!

Impatient

Guess you are just lucky!!

Hey I am on day 8 and have lost 6lbs. I started at 13st5 - my heaviest in a long time. I need to lose 2.5 stone to fit into my nice summer clothes but would like to lose another stone after that for vanity, I have never been in the 9 stones!

No apparently diet drinks can kick some people out of Ketosis. Wouldn't it be lovely though? X

Hi, I had been looking for a 'grown up' water bottle that is not so sporty looking and stumbled upon these on offer in a George (Asda) store. 700 ml or 470ml sizes. With an extra 50ml in shakes and 3 of the 700ml bottles each day it seems easier to hit at least 2.25 litres a day :) Hope it...

Does anyone else have this on SS? I have to time my shakes strategically if I am going out and after about 3 hours I start feeling very weak and know my energy is very low. I have only been on SS for 1 week and wondered if this would go? Consultant suggests that SS+ may just give my body the...

First weigh-in yesterday, lost 5lbs on CWPC scales and an inch off my waist. I weighed on my ex-WW scales this morning and it says a loss of 6lbs which I prefer ;) I do think a morning weigh-in is more accurate so I think I will use that as my main weight as long as the weight losses are similar...

Quote from my sister in law yesterday, she probed about my diet and I didn't want to lie so told her it was this plan and that was her response to be careful I don't make myself ill. I didn't ask for more info as I'm a worry wart as it is. I read one archived thread about Cambridge and cancer...

That's great, my first week on SS, lost 5lbs. Started at 13st5. Moving onto SS+ for the days I need it, hope to see a bigger loss next week but I'm still on track for my stone per month x

Great I thought that I may be able to get one but I want a plain one as my hubby's is a maximuscle one and I don't want people thinking I'm bodybuilding haha x

For mixing shakes. Thanks

We have to post 20 times before we can do it x

I love oatso simple apple n cinnamon but hate the CWP one! I don't think I'll even attempt any other flavours! I have tried oriental chilli and chicken n mushroom soup but found them both to powdery despite blending to stick with although the latter tasted very much like batchelors cup a soup. I...

My hubby was very active as a teen and ate loads yet just put on muscle. As he got older his activity dropped but his appetite didn't. He is a very outdoorsy person through his job and hobbies but has to watch what he eats. Years ago he once said losing weight is simple , eat less and do more...

It's really important to remember we are choosing to do it this way! There are easier ways to lose weight but that is slower. We diet hard so we see results quick :) try not to feel you are punishing yourself, this is our choice and we need to be happy with it x

That is really not worth beating yourself up about. The one time you can be forgiven for breaking the plan (not 'cheating'!) is when you are ill. X

I am not one for writing blogs as I struggle to commit but as I do not want to bore my husband any further and don't really have anyone who understands this plan, I feel this is the place to obsess! I have been on the CWP 100% SS for 7 days now, weigh in is not until tonight so I don't know...
