Glycerine suppositories are my new best friends - have been fine for weeks on SS with the occasional Sennakot to get things moving, but over the last 2 or 3 weeks, it's been horrendous. Will use senna and the sups to sort it all out then use fibresure regularly!

Wow! If that Oli one isn't a great example of something looking better on than off I don't know what is! Re the first post, I know exactly what you mean - the choice is bewildering! As you say, being confined to Evans for several years completely limits choice and now I don't know where to...

So can I just get this straight then, you cannot be on SS within a stone of BMI 25? For some reason, I'd got it in my head that whilst you wouldn't start anyone on SS within that range, if you were already on SS you could stay on it until you were BMI 25!

No! You only pay for the food!

I'm a teacher too and can only really echo what's already been said but would emphasise that she really needs physical, concrete stuff to work with to help her visualise what she's doing.There's some nice stuff on here for example on place value: PLACE VALUE Resources One thing I would add...

I never have a shake before lunchtime - then one at tea and supper - and have generally lost 4lbs a week.

Aha! Sorted!

And no, I haven't! What have I done wrong?

As it says, really!

Mmm - this has been bothering me too! I can see that exercise will help certain areas, but even having lost 4 stone, mine are still pretty fat and it's the 'bingo wings' bit that worries me as I don't think there's any muscle in there to tone up!

Before... ...and after I lost 4 stone with CD. A few more to go yet, and the before pic's not very good, but I think you get the idea!

I'm 5ft 5 and am 14 stone at the moment. I have a pair of 18 jeans which I can now take off without undoing the buttons or zip and some size 16 trousers from Next that are a perfect fit! I'm bigger on top, though so am 18/20 in tops I think but haven't really tested that as I'm still wearing old...

I did, thank you! It was so nice to smell something cooking and actually be able to eat it for a change!

Does anyone know if the weights given for chicken etc on 810 are cooked or uncooked? I've read through the page again in the yellow book and it doesn't say! As I'm having my chicken breast off a whole roast chicken, it'll be tricky to work it out if it's uncooked weight I'm supposed to be measuring!

Funny you should say that as we went to Nando's at the weekend for my birthday and I saw a waiter passing with a salad for someone and thought how delicious it looked - and had one too!

I'm ttc too and have been taking it since before starting CD SS and it doesn't seem to have affected my losses - now nearly three and a half stone in 11 weeks.

Awww, don't beat yourself up about it - it's a hardcore diet, so everyone's bound to slip up occasionally.

Well done!

My understanding was that we could only SS for 12 weeks before doing a week on 810?

That's fantastic, well done!

I've only ever made a Christmas cake once and it was lovely, but I made royal icing as I much prefer it and forgot the glycerine. We practically had to chisel the cake open!

I have the listerine ones and they're very good!

You really must do the 810 week - it's in the medical guidelines from NICE etc that you must only do 12 wks on a VLCD before having a 'break' of a week on more calories. It's funny, isn't it, before this diet 810 calories would have sounded too horrendous to contemplate, now it sounds like a feast!

Hiya Jenni. Glad to hear you're on the mend! 3lbs this week.

Probably way too late, but I lost 4lbs this week! Hope you feel better soon. xx

Julesrush - how reliable did you find the ovulation microscope? I've been a bit hit and miss with it as I've only had one period since coming off the depo provera injection a year ago. Did you find it tied in with the temperature readings etc?

Hiya - can't find how to change any settings! Someone said I had to have posted so many times before I could pm people - don't know if that's right! Anyway - 3lbs lost this week!:)

Excellent, thanks!

I've been SSing for 6 weeks now and am thrilled with my weight loss. As the new term's begun, a lot of exercise classes are starting up again and I really fancy doing some aerobics - the class is differentiated for low/high impact so I'd obviously go for low impact. Is this ok on SS do you...

Well I came off the depo contraceptive injection and was told it might take a year for my periods to return - it was a year this month and nothing until I'd been on CD for a 4 weeks! Now I've been on, on and off, for over a week!

Just got some of the low salt one today from Tesco - a very big one as our smaller local one only sells the higher fat one. I had it for my tea with a cranberry bar as dessert, so loved it!

Is it? That's definitely worth knowing!

I love cookery shows and also subscribe to Good Food and Delicious magazines! Am not finding myself tempted though!

My CDC said she'd tried her sample and loved it - hope I'll like it too! It'll be especially nice once the mornings get darker and colder!

Mmm - I must confess to one or two sausages last night at my friend's bbq. Still, am in week 5 and it didn't knock me out of ketosis so not too bad!

Well done you! I've just managed to get into a size 16 skirt (with buttons, not elasticated!) so I'm thrilled too!

That was very helpful!

Very much!

Thank you

Ah, ok, that makes sense! Better get more posting done!

I'd really like to know!!

Hiya - I can't PM you either! This week am 16st 2. Woohoo!

Going shopping with my mates who are all size 12 or less and not having to be stuck in Evans or Anne Harvey. I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with so much choice as it's been fairly limited for several years!!

Thank you!

Wow, well done you! Are you doing SS? How much water do you drink? Are you exercising? Sorry, too many questions! But I'd love to know how you're doing this!

I had this last week - took 2 Sennakot and all was fine. Have now bought some of the husks to keep things moving!

Hello, tried to PM you but don't get that as an option for some reason! Anyway, WI last week 16st13, this week 16st 10.

Hello, I'm here too! Ok, current weight 16st 10 - I'm in Week 4 and have lost 1st 6 already. Aiming for around 10 stone. Anything else you need to know?

If I haven't missed the boat, me too please!
