was just wondering if there are any 'free foods' on DD? am on first DD and its 11.09am and i am now hungry.... am drinking lots of water - but want food!!!

do tescos now add the items to your shopping basket? they never used to - i signed up once, but cancelled when i found they didnt....

Hey Aloize - we're the same height and (nearly) the same weight.... and both want to lose that last half stone - its mad - i have been stuck on 11st 1.5 for DAYS! now....and i've been doing 3 sachets/bars/tetras each day and a quorn and courgette and mushroom dry fry! this is not fair - lets see...

are you allowed green peppers on 810?

am doing 810 and about to move to 1000 at the moment and am fed up of quorn, does anyone have any good recipes? please.....

you should say to the nasty people 'well, i can lose weight, you will always be ugly!'

so - how many pounds have you left to 'throw away' to start 1000? i only have about 7 (or ok 9) to go.....

sorry - but aparantly - its mutating all the time and the one we could get in the autumn could be different - therefore no immunity.... :-(

i'm on kind of 810 with quorn curry most nights and it really makes a difference to my dieting, its sooooo much easier! splitting packs is a good way to go too... (ps - i'm excited as finally got myself a website!!! needs more work, but..... www.ceridrial.co.uk! woopwoopwoop)

my cooking skills arent up to much.... and am getting a bit bored of my (quorn) mince with tabasco and courgette and mushroom and a stock cube and paprika....

well... it was in my pocket (jacket) and slipped out while leaning over to flush, its classed as lost as is now swimming upstream with all the other.... stuff.... that gets flushed....

you're all crazy - lol! i am staying as far away from food as possible! (which is not easy as we are having a fund raising day at work and it all seems to be about food/wine/chocolate... even easter eggs....in july!)

as i flushed my mobile down the loo at work, and (i didnt know) the pipe is a 4 incher, and its gone gone gone! luckily i have insurance, and they are not going to make me try to retreive it (although that would cost them more i guess! lol) they've blocked it, but as i said - if anyone...

am really not interested in trying this combo myself, as can only imagine a)how dangerous it must be and, b) that theres no fat to absorb anyway but has anyone been tempted? only posting as i saw an advert for it and i count myself lucky that i am only a small bit o/w (and came to CD...

i like the vanilla/choco/butterscotch shakes and the chilli soup (but also have the chicken and mush/veg) but in the soups i empty about half a bottle of tabasco..... so its mainly 'hot'

(as a lay person!) i think if you dont feeled wiped out at the end of your work out you should be fine, were you swimming before you started? as i think is it ok to continue, but not start new stuff.... i would say that you maybe rest more inbetween, and either not think about how many, or how...

shouldnt you be on AAM? (add a meal week for the new guys!) i thought it was 4 weeks in hell, followed by a short trip to purgatory? then back on the hell diet? (come on guys! you know its not fun!)

oh summer.... :-( - stay strong - remember why you are losing the weight - its soooooo unfair, have you thought of trying to rent a room somewhere else sweetie? failing that, get a big ![rude word]! lock for your gear - or only buy your food on the way home, alternatively - go on LL or CD...

i think you look fab too.... i guess you have to listen to the crowd!!!

ok - i nipped down to sainsburys (or tescos not sure which) and got some chicken style quorn, and some mushrooms.... i ate the mushrooms out of the packet! (crunchy) and the quorn threaded on sticks on the bbq hoping for the smokey taste.... no... just dried them out really! but am now 810'ing!

i think i will do ss+ from now on (is it 200g of Quorn?) although looking at your posts - maybe i should be on 810! argh!

i know about my bmi (but i have been updating daily) and its only just fallen under 25, and i am only on day 4 (i totally get what you are saying!) should i move onto something else already (ie SS+/810) as what i have lost already is only glycogen/water (i always expect to put on the same at the...

thats really good - i always try and look at my life from the outside, and i'm telling you - it looks pretty good -

hi i am on day 4 of SS - was thinking about having a bit of chicken at a bbq tonight.... thoughts?

everytime i get demotivated, i look in the mirror and remember WHY I STARTED in the first place....(cos i felt fat in case anyone wants to know....)

go find another one!!

yep - you must take the reading at 15second exactly (on my ones)

you can be strong and maybe pretend you have a gin and tonic in your glass instead of sparkling water.... you have done really well so far - dont give up and remember if you are in ketosis its really dangerous to drink alcohol..... you can do this!!! be strong, look at those large trousers...

what a fab idea! i have a box of 50 though... not planning on using them that many times... btw - how many times do ppl check their sticks? and if you are on SS and you are in Ketosis... do you get knocked out of it or stay in it

there are no stupid questions!! (well maybe a few) i have a colour guide chart on my bottle of sticks and it ranges from light pink to dark. the darker end means you are in ketosis (which is what you are aiming for) [someone next to me is eating a ham salad sandwich on granary.....mmmmm]...

well done!!

thanks - either yay! i am in ketosis, or... am dehydrated! (can you get in K by day 2??) (apologies - i posted this in the main forum too, as thought more ppl might view it)

cor - hope so - as that means am in ketosis already!! wooo hoo

Apologies for the double posting - just thought this might be better in this forum... Ketostix - open more than 6 months ago - still good? kind of says it all in the title really, but i have some Ketostix which were opened more than 6 months ago - i tried one last night (end of day 2 on SS)...

how have you done guys????

i'm an all or nothing person, i excel at exams and am rubbish at long term 'course work' (if you get my drift) i look at the diet and think out of my whole life this is just a short term thing, and my 'best trick' is to tell myself that i had a bacon sandwich this morning (and try to...

kind of says it all in the title really, but i have some Ketostix which were opened more than 6 months ago - i tried one last night (end of day 2 on SS) and it was dark pink (4) and again this morning - i'm not dehydrated, as cannot acutally fit any more water in! (yesterday evening, i had a...

i'm at the end of day 2... am feeling good that i have got here, and am ready for the carb shakes at the weekend!

i dont mean to state anything obvious, but i am heavier at different times in my cycle...? maybe thats it - i'm reading your posts Broxi and i hope you are doing well.... are you 'plateau'ing ' at the moment? if so - how long for. Like another poster said - we're all different! keep going...

i think i am doing SS (3 sachets a day) thought if i start harsh then come back slowly, thinking mabe SS for 3 weeks, have some chicken (or similar - avoid rice etc) my councillor 'Officially well it's all about will power! but having done that it's a treat and I say don't beat yourself...

well done on the 7 days - let us know what you get on the wi!! i have had 2 soups and half a milkshake (got to try and find the other half before bed tonight) i am hosting the local pub quiz tonight, and nearly put off til tomorrow, but then i thought 'well tomorrow there will be another...

how are you doing (forgot to ask!!)

its ok so far (thanks!) am peckish, not starving yet - will be soon tho - have had a whole soup and half a milkshake, and am on the loo all the time! already! some black coffee... (are you allowed tea with skimmed milk on SS?)

yay! lets keep going together (i have a RL friend starting tomorrow as well) she did nearly 9st on LL but is doing CD now as same idea but half the price!

hi all am restarting today - i chose wednesday so i get the carb withdrawal over the weekend and not at work - also - monday is a rubbish day anyway without having to diet again am doing SS, have 1.5stone to lose (maybe 2st....we'll see when we get there)

no - it went a few days ago - but havent been on forum..... pmpl

ok - well its all gone - i cut some of our hedge down (job that needed doing anyway) and bravely went upstair with one end wrapped in a carrier bag (in case any of it crawled up the long stick (not too long to fit in an outside bin) to attack me) and sorted it!

ok - i have to go out for a meal at my new work place on Thursday at a local italian restaurant i am on aam week, but have basically nibbling on chicken and quorn and courgettes and some mushrooms.... i'm 5'7.5 and 10.10 in the evening so not too bad weight wise - and will be doing 2 sachets...

2 reasons why its not - 1) it floated... and 2) it went away when you flushed!!! my oldest said 'mummy, theres something in the toilet' i said 'ignore darling and put the lid down....'

hi - saw this and thought i would post to stop the arguments!

ok - i have some quorn mince and sausages in the fridge - might have sausages tonight!!

aw thank you - right up to bed now - with some tuna and my copy of greys anatomy series 4!

stop it - you're all making me laugh so much my oh wants to know whats going on .... 'its ok luv, just talking toilets with the ladies who understand!'

ok - my bmi is now 24ish - i have about 5lbs to get to target proper, which means i need to go past it by about 6 (first week weight loss) - leaves me 9lbs to go ish i am thinking about going on to 810 for about 2/3 weeks and skipping SS+ - what do you guys think? my books are upstairs at...

so not only am i stuck on the loo trying to pass a small baby.... (yes it was on a par!) but the blinking thing wont flush away - it just sits at the bottom(!) of the toilet...ewwwww anyone else have this problem -

i got mine from HMV - the website said out of stock - but i phoned up and they got me one in a week.... just unwrapped and my 6yr old wont get off it :-)

first time i tried, i was chewing them off the paper! i didnt try again! as only on this for another 3 weeks or so (i love mix-a-mousse tho, but you have to use an electric blender)

i had a bad weekend, we went to a family friends house and she had a garzillion bottles of champagne... from moet to taittinger, so i had to have a glass, and then she cooked a roast lamb... so i had 2 mouthfulls of that.... and now there are chocolates here and i want one!!!!

i like White tea - its like green tea but only ponseyer - i set the timer for 1min 30seconds, cos too long makes it bitter

re the lumpies.. i had that in my first one, but on the second one i used a hand blender, and it was divine! worked really well and i have one each night now..... (ps - i use 180ml cos thats what my box says to use)

i've openned the chicken and had a piece(just plain chargrilled) - its lovely

sorry - when i put purely SS i meant i was only doing SS (with no cheating or adding or anything, its not a new thing)

are you on SS or SS+

i dont know - thats why i'm asking - i'm on pure ss

i'm on SS my cdc said that i could eat a bit of chicken each day so long as it was not too much and it shouldn't make much difference to the diet. does this sound right (no offense to my CDC) if so - how much are we talking 40g? 20g? any ideas?

thank you x x

4lb would have been great - what did i get???? 2!! for week two! i know overall its 9lb, (human head and a gerbil aparantly) but its not fair - i'm hoping its totm...

i've got tanita ones that i think are really good - they do fat content, water content, and then tell you if you are too heavy - which is nice

still sulking :-( (but thanks)

hi all i have my Weigh in Tomorrow night ( ek 2) on sole source, and it looks like my scales are only letting me have around 4 pounds.... its not fair.... i have stuck to this religiously.... eaten all my packs... lots of water... i know its a lot, but i was expecting more for all the pain...

i weakened and looked at the FM - going to hang on to it - lots of great picnic food ideas.... [mopping up the drool]

i might treat myself on wednesday (my weigh in is on Tues) - does it take you out of ketosis?

thanks - i dream of sausages and chicken pie with shortcrust pastry.... (we get the guardian on sunday and this week is the food monthly... funnily enough, not reading that!)

i like to weigh myself in the morning because i am lighter - but i go to my cdc in the evening - so i have 2 weights....

2lbs a month? you sure? if thats it - break open the can of tuna!!

slightly off topic - (for all you clutter bugs out there!) try this book "Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui" - i think its by Karen Kingston - but its really small and just gives you great ideas and inspiration for clearing out.. 'if it's broken, or you dont love it, or you dont use it, BIN...

does anyone know the Average Weight Loss Difference between SS and SS+? am really missing food - and only have a few pounds to go... how much slower would it be?

i was wondering if you can have a marmite drink (like bovril) as i know in ww its 0 points.... i miss my marmite (and oh just came back from sainsburys with a multipack of marmite crisps and they're my favourite - he did apologise though)

how dark are we aiming for on ketosticks? mines at 4 (one away from the darkest...) does this mean i should lose quicker? read older posts - says might be dehydrated... but am drinking loads....

thanks for the messages.. but i'm on day 9 and still hungry drinking so much water.... i'm sloshing around, but i know its short term, so.... anyway - i cant lose this personal challenge

hi all, i have just started CD (on day 8 now) and lost 7 in my first week. my target is around another 17lbs, i know thats not a huge amount, but went for CD as manage to keep my weight mostly stable, but could not lose any which was really frustrating! then i have 4 friends who did LL & CD...
