Well managed to lose 1/4 of a pound. Had a nightmare of a week. 100% today. Fingers x'd for the rest of my journey. Can anyone tell me if the the twinning salted caramel and ginger bread green teas are ok? Think I read they were ok but not 100%sure. They just seem too sweet and yummy to be...

Hey everyone. Just found out through Facebook that this site was back up and running. Fantastic! So I started again a couple of weeks ago and not been so good but still lost 6lbs so that's good. I lost 4 and a half stones fasting but went back to work a year ago and have put on 2 and a half...

Hey. My name is Shirley. Started juddding last Monday. Weighed myself this morning and have lost 5lbs. Woohoo! Question: Are most people doing alertnate days or 4:3 weekly? I haven't decided to alternate or 4:3. Personal experiences would be very much appreciated. :D Sent from my...

Hey Tamzy. Thanks for that info. That's how I read the info re the plan but after reading different peoples threads, most people seem to take it weekly and do 4/3. That's where my confusion came from but everyone has to do what suits their lifestyle. I started yesterday on a dd and all good...

Is it normal to binge after only 1 day of fasting? Was ok until I started eating and now I can't stop. Shirls x

Thinking about doing juddd plan. Do I fast alternate days i.e Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun, Tues, Thurs, Sat and so on or 3 fasting days per week? Thanks Shirls x

I've just started ss online today. Looking for a buddy. Just wondering if there are any other ss peeps out there? Shirls x

Ahhhh. Thanks Caroline. So looking forward to being a mum. After 6 years of trying (never thought it would happen). We are finally going have a family. Still can't believe it though. Haha! Shirls x

Hey. Yes I'm starting again. Got an appt with my consultant next Thursday as I still have a weeks worth of products from the end of last year. I lost 1 stone and 9lbs last year but have probably put on about 9lbs last year. Boohoo! Definately my own fault - who's else would be. My husband and I...

Awesome! What a superb start. Im starting or should say restarting today. Fingers x'd we all manage to the end of the journey we have chosen. Have a fabby day. Shirls x

Hey So that's me restarting again today. So what's different this time? What will keep me on course this time? We have just been aprroved as a adopters (cant believe it has actually happened - whoop whoops!). I was informed at the panel that I would need to show them that I have continued to...

Can someone please help? I can't seem to find cwp app in the store. I have a Samsung. Can you only get it on an iphone? Shirls x

Xmas night out 20 Dec. Want to rid myself of 7lbs ish before then and also the bloat. Plan on eating then, Xmas day and hogmany (going out for a meal and cocktails) then back on track 1Jan. Also have an adopting panel 13Jan so want to show I've lost a good bit of weight. Good Luck - we all...

Good Luck! Im starting again today. 3rd time lucky. Only lost 1st 9lb but have managed to keep most it off. Still got 5stones to go to. Shirls x

I started Monday. 500-2000 for 2 week induction. Should I calculate on juddd site and check what actual calories should be? Thanks Shirls x

Thanks for reply. Glad I can just do days rather than hours. I was getting very confused reading about some doing 24hrs. Eating and fasting in the same day would totally stress me I wouldn't know what I was doing. Obviously works well for others though. Shirls

Just realised Im being stoopid! Brain just clicked about the fasting thing. The fast starts when I stop eating on my UD. Shirls x

I've just started juddd this week and not sure if Im doing it properly. I've been doing alternate days. I eat between either 12pm and 1pm everyday and don't eat anything after 8pm. Am I fasting long enough? I've been reading diaries and some people are fasting for 36hours. Shirls

I nearly broke yesterday. I've got an appointment with a hospital dietitian next week and thought yesterday that I would stop doing cd and do what he/she advising as Im struggling so much. Then I weighed myself this morning as I felt fatter and that would have been the just confirmed my decision...

Thanks. Been 100% today so that's perfect. Don't have any problem during the week. Seems to go a bit wrong at the weekends. Will try my hardest to be 100% until my next wi which is a week Thursday as cdc on holiday so for a wee bit of time to try and minimise the damage. Shirley x

Totally worth the gain. So lucky. Shirley x

....

Can I join and how do I join? Would like 10lbs-12lbs this month. Shirley x

Awesome ! Shirley x

Thanks country. We will get through it. Just need to remember to come on site more and post if I feel like cracking. Shirley x

Skydragon - awesome reply. Just being greedy and feeding a bit of a hangover. Guess the solution to that is not to drink(i do know i shouldn't). Back on track today and going for 100% ss. Im on the plan because I've chosen to be on it not because Im being made to do it. I have to learn from...

Thanks eclipse. That's so true - head down and plough on through. That's exactly what I will do. I won't fail because I will keep on trying. Day 1 (again). Soup Lemon bar Shake Come on! Think I need to engage more with my fellow cder's instead of just reading posts. Get some support...

Have had such a bad weekend. Ate - for Scotland and drank. Feel so disappointed in myself. I still got such a long way to go. Feel like Im never going to get there Has anyone else done this and managed to get back on track? Shirley :-(

Well went to tesco cafe with my pal. She had a panini and a bag o crisps while I had a black tea and lemon bar. How proud am I? She was so full of compliments and I've only lost 21lbs. So proud of myself. Just having a shake now. Coffee one is so yummy. I seem to only manage 3 ss days so I do...

So I've not posted since my haf pund weight gain last week. I have been following step 2 and its sooooooo much easier for me to stick to. Just had my wi and I've lost 3lbs. Woop Woop! Better down than sts or up.. Have a fabby day peeps Shirley x

Thanku for ur reply. Very much appreciated and helpful. Its nice to hear not everyone has done ss to loose their weight. I will definitely start step 2 soon. I don't mind it taking longer to loose the weight. I didn't gain 6stones in a year so for it to loose it in a year would be perfect. Also...

I think I'll mix it also. Just take it day by day. Total foodaholic! The last couple of weeks have been a struggle but determined not to give up and do my usual of eating a load of c*#p. Can't believe I've managed all this time. I will rid myself of this weight. Shirley x

Only on my sixth wk but really don't feel i can do 12 weeks. My councillor said if Im struggling at the wknd I can do step 2 but if I want to do step 2 fulltime from next wk that's ok. Shirley x

My thoughts exactly northern. Thinking of moving to step 2 even though I still have 6stones to loose. Really don't think i can do ss for 12weeks. Im definitely not a hardcore cd'er. Shirls x

So all the naughtiness caught up with me this wk. Put on half a pound which in the grand scheme of things is nothing. I do deserve the increase in weight. Could have been much worse. Im considering moving onto step 2 even though I still have 6stones to loose. Just don't feel I can do ss for 6...

Have u got back on it? Its such a difficult plan to keep to. Definitely diet bootcamp! Hope u find ur way again. Got to find wat suits u not just doing a diet to lose weight quickly. Shirley x

You are such a wise owl! I know that slope so well. I'm sure a lot of people have been on it. I did enjoy it for a while though. Haha! I've been obese for 8ish years now and I've had enough. Have to rid myself of the weight now. I've been so proud of myself for not eating any sweets or other...

Tablet is extremely sugar fudge like candy. Smells as awesome as it taste. Don't blame you for not making it as it is irresistible! Shirley x

Omygawd! Standing in my work sniffing a bag of tablet. Eyes rolling! Awesome! Gave everyone a laugh. Can I just add I did not eat or lick any. Haha! Shirley x

Ruth - Feeling back in ketosis. Not hungry at all and the energy levels are rising. Onwards and downwards as they say. Thanks Shirley x

Been up since 3.30am. Just don't sleep well. Doesn't really help with the battle of habitual eating. So had 2 100% days. Woop Woop Woop! Always easier when Im work though. Never seem to lose the food battle during the week but up to now have been unsuccessful at the weekends. Hopefully manage...

Lisa - such a nice message. We have such huge motivation to do this. Good luck on ur journey. Hopefully we will both have/having a family. My oh and I don't have family so if that doesn't motivate nothing will. Shirley x

After a horrendous Sunday. I've managed to get back on the cd rails. Now on day 2 of 100% again! Don't understand why I make my life so difficult. I've had the worst headache for 2 days. Carbs are definitely not worth it! If I choose ti eat - it will be chicken, lettuce and balsamic all the way...

Chloe - that sounds yummy but not sure if I have vanilla. I'll check wen I get home. Thanks Shirley x

Hey. Just normally grit my teeth and get through the cravings. Eating at the weekend definitely wasn't worth it. Its like Im on day 2 again and i miss the sensation of eating and I've for a sore head. Hopefully I will learn from this. I will get through today. 100% all they way! Shirley x

Hey I use white pepper in all of my soups. I know chilli flakes are allowed but not sure if fresh herbs would be allowed.

I've will only have had 4 and a half 100% days by the time I get weighed Thursday. Seem to be really struggling today. I was sitting in the tearoom in my work having soup and all I could smell was yummy coffee with milk. I haven't used milk in my tea or coffee for months so whats all that...

Sitting watching great british bake off and watching them eat scones. O my giddy god! Tormenting the life out of myself. Come on Shirley switch the blimmin tv off! Shirley x

That's a pity. I definitely wouldn't have managed without them. I think better to have them and have a slower loss than give up. Stay strong as you said you only have one more week. Shirley x

Good morning everyone. I've been awake since 4am. Nightmare! Im now on my second pint of fizzy water. Wouldn't normally have breakfast at 6am but was hungry. Had a yummy lemon bar. Feeling super positive about having a 100% day. Fingers x'd everyone. Tata Shirley x

100% today! Woop Woop Woop! Shirley x

I've lemon bars since wk 1. Specifically formulated to have from beginning as per wat councillor said. Only ones I like. Yummy! Shirley x

Monday weigh ins aren't the best. I certainly didn't like them wen I went ww. No time to rectify any naughtiness! I've come to the conclusion I can only do cd 5 to 6 days a week, just can't seem to manage total ss but Im ok with that. Its like I do fasting 5ish days and eat some the others...

Im a bit like yourself. Get bored easily and quickly. Only cost £6 so if I get a few workouts from it'll be worth it. Planning on cycling to and from work 3 times a week which will be 10k each time then maybe Saturday and/or Sunday. Better then nothing. Got to motivate tho. Shirley x

I kept reading that people were doing the 30 day shred. I thought it was some kind of new step on the cd. Doh! So I googled it and found it is and exercise dvd. Ordered it from amazon and should come Monday. Don't have the confidence to go to a gym yet. Wat your experience of the dvd? Will I be...

Good luck for today. Your so brave. Think id be hiding from everyone and everything. Sounds like you are a total cd warrior! Have a fabby day. Shirley x

Sooooooo bad yesterday! Felt a bit seedy from having a couple of alcofrolic drinks Friday and just couldn't control wat went in my big fat mouth. So disappointed in myself but hohum wat can you do. Just got to get my backside into to gear and get my head in the right place. Don't want to and...

Just used my mix a mousse and it was awesome. Used an electric hand double whisk instead of the hand blender wand thingy. It was like eating coffee angel delight. Mmmmm! Sooooooo yummy! Definitely a worth while purchase.

Cai - fitness pal downloaded and going to use even on ss days. Maybe that will keep me on track. Shirley x

Glitzy - Im always up early and got to keep busy so I won't eat. On holiday this week. Back to work Monday so won't be doing all that before 8am. Wish I could sleep later but can't. Its rubbish! Shirley x

Yes tea are foods allowed on the cd items for meals. So all good. Plodding happily down the cd rd. Yes have an android so I'll have a look now. Thanks Shirley x

Didn't have a good day yesterday. Went aff the cd rails. Had a couple of alcofrolic drinks. On holiday this week so Im not boozing on a school night. Ended up having chicken, lettuce and balsamic vinegar. Awesome! Don't feel guilty as Im back on the cd rails again today. I've failed numerous...

Don't think Im allowed yoghurt as Im supposed to be on ss. Sounds yummy though. I LOVE greek yoghurt. Shirley x

Thanks for all your help ladies. I'll try each and everyone. My first attempt resulted in a bowl of solid gloop. Yuk! Good luck for my second attempt. Shirley x

Im newbie mix a mousser and desperately in need of tips. Any would be very welcome. Shirley x

Ahhhh! Thanks. Any tips on the mix a mousse thing? Shirley x

So, had wi today. Lost 2 3/4lbs this week. Can't really grumble as went right aff the cd rails last Thursday and Saturday. Im definitely going try my hardest to stay 100% until next Thursday as I've actually managed a full week of 100% and after reading so many diaries that's the only way to get...

Can't stop thinking about chicken , lettuce and balsamic vinegar. Get outa ma heed! Head is bumping so going to bed. Glad this day is over. Struggled big time! Still managed 100% though. I have the power! Nite nite Peeps Shirley x

Ahhhh! Don't worry. Chicken is better than sugar or carbs and if u felt faint u needed to have something. U made a good choice. Hope u feel better. Shirley x

Sitting having my last meal of the day. Chicken and mushroom soup with a bundle of white pepper. Seem to use it in all of the soups. I need to have something that makes this diet feel normal and in my head soup seems to do it for me. Got to use anything that will get me through this journey. I...

Ahhhh! Thanks. I will keep going. Won't give up. Thanks. Such nice supportive people on this site. Amazing what a little encouragement can do. Shirley x

What about granola and Greek/plain yoghurt? You don't need much yoghurt and its scrummy. Shirley x

Every so tired today. Really need to stop getting up so blimmin early. Really gets on my nerves sometimes. Feel like I want to eat coz Im bored but too tired to do anything of significance. Got to keep on track as I have to visit my gp so she can inform the adoption medical advisor that I am...

Acceptance is definitely bad thing when it comes to this of us carrying a bit extra weight. Think have been the same for years. Good luck when ur wee one arrives. The weight will probably drop of you. You won't have time to eat. Have a fabby day

Sooooooo lucky. I have been a bit naughty and its totm but hopefully fingers x'd I'll have some of ur luck. Wi tomorrow.

Im with u on that. We r going to be :winner:

Good luck on ur journey. Look forward to reading about ur progress.

You've got to think what u have lost previously. 5-6lbs! My goodness that is awesome. Chin up and keep going. It will come off.

Firstly congrats on the weight lose. Have u managed to get back on the cd wagon. Im nearly at the end of my 4th week and had a few slip ups but dealt with it and got back on track. Have a fabby day!

It's awful when u feel like u've failed. That's been my attitude for years but a bit like yourself I also am trying to accept if Im not perfect and just deal with it and get my ass back into gear. Good luck. We CAN do this!

:clap: Well done.

Wow that's an amazing weight lose. I've still to loose 6stones. This is the first time in years I've managed to stick to a diet dorm more than 2 weeks. So fingers x'd I'll do it this time. Have u managed to keep most off the weight off? Shirley x

When I fitted in the bath comfortably. Sad I know but so much easier to relax. Heaven! Shirley x

GM. Im following the Cambridge dier which is a very low calories diet. Its hard going but it will be worth it. I have a ridiculous relationship with food so hopefully abstaining then slowly introducing it will rectify that. Which diet are u doing? Im new to the site and thought my day would go...

So up 5.30am and sitting having a caramel coffee - black- its dowe egberts and it proper mummy. Slept in. Haha! Im holiday this week and still can't sleep longer in the morning. Have been 100% since Sunday and not smoked. How awesome is that? Can't believe Im am managing this. Totally in the...

Another 100% yesterday. Woop Woop!

Im the same as Alipally. So glad to hear someone else only ever registers trace coz I was getting a wee bit worried. Although mouth felt like fur about the third week and- hangover mouth -yuk - no hunger and lots of energy most of the time. So I guess Im in ketosis. Still feels very strange not...

I've had them since wk 1. Consultant says they are specifically formulated to allow for that. Mind u after reading some posts and a reply I got earlier really don't know if she too good. Maybe that's why I only lost 8lbs my first week and not a huge lose like most if the people my weight...

O my! Think Im getting ripped off. Thought she was being nice by saying I can text her anytime. Doh! How stupid do I feel. I keep forgetting my name doesn't show on the minimins app. Its Shirley. Thanks for ur help. I'll go reason the link now. Shirls x

Lemon bars are my absolute favorite. All I ever have. Don't like any others. All too big and chewy.

My consultant doesn't measure me. Goodness me she wouldnt have time. Surprised she has time to weigh me she is in and out sooooooo quickly. I don't even have a record of my weight. Just got to remember. I know she is affy nice but after reading so many posts on here Im starting to think she...

Well pebbles eventually delivered. Omygawd! I have just moved a ton of(literally). Totally exhausted so had a little 40 twinkles (nap) then a bath. Now sitting with my choc tetra (2nd meal odd the day) and a big glass of fizzy water. Only had 2.5litres up to now. Think I'll go read some other...

Yay to u. Keep going. U CAN do this. :-)

Well only had 1 meal upto now. Not hungry but getting extremely bored. Waiting for a delivery. Just the usual nonsense - can't give a time delivery will arrive - this one is the worst though because they couldn't even tell me if it would be morning or aftn. On the up side I've had a couple of...

Hey. So how is your first day going? Im on my 4th week. Have been a bit up and down (diet not weight which is thankfully decreasing slowly). Never managed a week 100% yet but will keep on trying. Good luck Shirls x

Im normally waiting until Friday or Saturday to have a cheeky chicken salad then don't seem to have any problem going back to plan the rest if the time. I worry this might lead keep down a slippery slope though so I will they my hardest this week to be 100% all week. Think I'll just have to keep...

Ahhhh! Thanks. Im not always this motivated. Just so much energy on this diet got to use it up or I'll try end up agitated to hell. On holiday this week so got to keep busy busy busy or I'll b thinking of food and fags. I've stopped smoking also. So double whammy! Must b off my nut! :-)

U r sooooooo disciplined! I only ever seem to manage 6 out of 7 days every week. Think I'll try and follow ur example and go for this week. 100% all the way!:bunnydance:

Well been up since 5am. Had couple of cups of coffee. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! Then went to b&q again! Potted plants and hanging basket all before 8am. Then sat down and had a lemon bar for brekky (don't like any of the others) with a cuppa t. Only had about a litre of fizzy water up to now but I'll still...

:wow: You must be so proud.

:wow: AWESOME! You must have been 100% all week. :happy096:

100% Sunday and Monday. Woop Woop!

Yay to u. I to like a cheeky wee treat at the weekend. If it slows my weight down a bit then so be it. Have a 100% day x

My motivation is for myself and oh to adopt a child. My weight is an issue so need to lose as much as possible before our panel date in October. Also would like to be the same weight I was 10 years ago. 7stones lighter! Happy, healthy, able to ride my bicycle easily and enjoy shopping for...

Still making a huge effort to get the damn :waterbottle: doon ma neck! I'm off work for a week so will have to visit here and type, type, type. It's hissing doon here in Bonnie Dundee and I am totally freezing. Not a side effect I have suffered before in ketosis, normally just the have a...

Your very welcome itskimmy. Which eating plan/diet are you following? I'm not sure if I was on the Cambridge Diet site when I replied to your post. Don't really know what I'm doing here just typing and posting away. :crazy:

Well, back from doing all my bits and pieces and even finished garden, just waiting for pebbles now. Seriously need to get my ass into gear and get some water doon ma throat . I've not even managed 2litres yet. Naughty! I've normally drank about 3 litres by now. Diet is on track for 100%...

Thanks all for your comments. I will certainly ignore all negativity in future. Let people say what they have to and keep my own council. I have another 6 stones to go and I have been a wee bit naughty one day a week (usually Friday night or Saturday) so I probably won't have such high loses...

Awesome. Thanks for your quick response very much appreciated. Habeas a fabby day x

P.s. Can't find it on the forum using laptop but can find it on android app.

Can someone help the techno twit please. Started a diary this morning and can't find it now. X

Hey. Im new to forum but have reading it for a couple of weeks now. Super inspirational. Good luck. X

Hey Peeps Shirley here. I did have a couple of drinks but no food. I won't be doing that in the future as just a total battle all day yesterday not to eat (munchies attack). I do know I shouldn't drink but unfortunately not very good at sticking to what's good for hence the fatness. So I was...

So, this the start of my weight lose diary. I've never been a blogger or facebooker. Just not my thing but after reading so many pages on this site it may help my fight against the flab. My name is Shirley and I live in Dundee. My husband and I are going through the adoption process and we...

So want some booze and crisps and dip arrrrrrrrrgh! TOM totally hanging about but not coming. Help me please! Im not an alky but partial to a we Jackie D with coke zero. mmmmmmmmmmmmm! :sigh:

Omygawd I still have a massive 6stones to loose but I'll get there eventually. Love this site though. It's awesome people I've never met before take the time out of their day to write a wee note.

I told someone on Thursday that I had lost 1st 1lb and she was super chuffed for but when I said I still had 6stones to loose I was told someone - "don't set yourself an unrealistic target because you will fail". Why o why do people have to react like this? Why can't they just say -"good luck on...

Thanks. :-)

Hey. Any other dundee cd'er? Started my 4th week yesterday. Lost 1st 1lb in 3weeks. Seems a bit measley considering lots of people seem to manage that in 1 or 2 weeks but its the best I've done on the lose front for years. Not really sure what Im doing on this site but its keeping me busy and...

Laura - I warm in a pan so its roasting not Luke warm as I can't stand warm drinks. Got to be hot hot hot! Seems to fill you up more also. Bonus!

I started the Cambridge diet 3weeks ago and loving. Cravings and hunger disappeared the 2nd week ish. Just started in minimins though but have been reading it for weeks. It certainly helped me through the boredom. Good luck on your journey.

That's fantabulous! 4stones lost. I started the Cambridge diet and have lost 1stone 1lb but still have another 5-6 stones to go. Good luck on the rest of your journey. Have a fabby weekend. :-)

It will even better when the autumnal night are here. Sitting sipping a mug if hot chocolate. Pure indulgence! Just come back from a 5km cycle (wee bit of walking up the hills) and totally loved it. Maybe try and do that 5 times a week. Have a fabby wknd everyone.

Anyone tried chocolate tetra with added water warmed in a pan? Totally awesome!

Hey everyone. My name is Shirley. Started CD 3 weeks ago but have been reading minimins from the start of my long long journey. This site has been a life saver many times throughout my short time doing CD.
