    Maintaining after five years

    Do all the steps back up. I did 810, 1000 and so on to the end and I honestly think this was pivotal in my maintaining. I also discovered I'm carb sensitive so restrict carbs in the week. I eat what I like at weekends, but try to be super healthy in the week. 80-20 works well for me

    From cambridge to Atkins add a meal?

    With cd you are only ever in mild ketosis as its very low calorie that is what gets the weight off quickly. The ketosis is just a little hand to help it all on it's way. Also if you were to do a meal replacement diet like slimfast you would feel much hungrier as there are about 25g of carbs per...

    ss to 1000k diet

    Have you been losing alot of hair? The best thing to do is do the 1000 plan with as little amount of carbs as possible. As it's the carbs that will make you hungry. Hope you get on ok. Good luck. x

    Drinks

    You can buy something called Crystal Light off ebay. It's an american no sugar powder that you can add to water.... I've been on lots of other forums & people have used this with no probs, even on induction. It's by Splenda. Best thing to do is give it a try & if your weight loss slows or stops...

    ready to restart?

    You're right, there is never a good time to start a diet like this as there will always be some sort of obstacle. My theory would be to start it now at the beginning of the year when no one really does much, then by the time easter, & bank holidays kick in you should be well on the way to your...

    Just having a boring day, so out of curiosity where does it come from? Mine is my nickname. My name is Zoe, but everyone calls me ZoBo......

    Anyone else have a terrible habit of weighing every day?!

    I also weigh myself every morning after my first wee...... Couldn't leave the house without my morning weigh in!

    I've binged....

    Thanks hun, you too. x

    I've binged....

    I'm on SS+ until I get to 9st 7lb, then moving to 810 to goal, then up the steps. Can't wait!! x

    I've binged....

    Thanks Susan. How are you? You've done really well. Only 2lb off target, that's fab! x

    I've binged....

    Thanks for all the messages. x I've got up with a fresh head this morning & straight back on it. I'd like to be at goal by Valentines day & I should be, or if not alot closer to it than I am now!

    Motivation.

    I think it was KD who posted that last year. A very inspirational post. x
  220. ZoBo

    I've binged....

    For absolutely no reason other than not having any will power! Will I ever get to my goal??!! It's stressing me out, big time, & I've got no one to blame but me!!
  221. ZoBo

    tomatoes??

    You have to be careful with this one. There are more carbs in 1 tomato than there are 6 cherry tomatoes. Different types of tomato have different carb counts. I think its 5.6 per normal tom & 2.6 per 6 cherry. I'll just have a look in my book to be sure though.

    I'm losing my hair!!!

    Mine has been falling out & is quite noticable to me at the front. I've been taking Nourkrin, which is for people who suffer with mild to severe hair loss. It's quite expensive to buy - about £40 for a month supply. I get mine off ebay for £28 delivered.
  223. ZoBo

    Help please :(

    It probably wouldn't have a huge effect on weightloss. But it could put you on the slippery slope of binging. I've had a few odd days off & could easily get back on plan the next day (not inc christmas whih was a nightmare). But doing this does mean it will take you longer to lose the weight...

    meeting a cdc on the 31st to give this a go..

    Yes we could chat anytime. I've got 10lb to lose, need to change my ticker. I'll be 9stone then. I'd like to be 8st 7lb, but I'll re assess that when I get to 9st. Once you get into it I don't find it that difficult to stick too. It's just the first week - 10days that's a killer! The good weight...
  225. ZoBo

    How much?

    I'm not sure about the water flavour or mix a mousse, but I have the marigold bouillon which is like the cdc one. You can have two a day & same applies to the cd one. x
  226. ZoBo

    Im back

    I started at 11st 3lb, although I'd lost 9lb pre cd to prepare. I'm now 9st 10lb & have 10lb to go to get to goal (although I'd like to be 8st 7lb, but we'll see). I could've lost it alot quicker but I've messed about a bit, especially over christmas. Can't wait to get to goal. I've got a...

    I did Lipotrim for a week & didn't like how it was handled at all! I'm also on my second cdc as I didn't really like the first & some of her "ways". BUT I love my cdc now. He's absolutely ace. Always texting you to help keep you going. Doesn't give you "the look" if you've put on of had a bad...

    Couldn't have put it better myself. She has such high opinions of people when she has little morals of her own!

    What's the funniest/craziest thing being on CD ss made you do

    I lick alot of things. Like chips, toasted teacakes..... I'm still losing weight & no where in the yellow book does it say you cannot lick food!! :D lol
  231. ZoBo

    ulrika?

    It's a fix! They paid £175000 for her, so they wanted to get their moneys worth! Can't stand the woman me, she's already up her own backside, this will make her worse!

    Ranitidine tablets for heartburn.

    God I lived on those when pg with ds2, so I feel your pain! They have nothing in them but Ranatidine, so they should be fine.
  235. ZoBo

    finally at target

    Well done girl! I bet you feel fab! After all those re starts & you got there. x
  236. ZoBo

    Help! Is there any thing I can have instead of the packs?

    Celebrity Slim is 25.4g of carbs per pack! More than slimfast. One of them & you'll be reaching for the biscuit tin & if not that, they'll def knock you out of ketosis. Hope you get something sorted. x
  237. ZoBo

    Zero Drinks

    I can't even look at a can of coke zero without being knocked out of ketosis, so is a big no no for me. Like said though it all depends on how your body breaks it down.

    Day 4 of re-start.. help! (food mentioned as i am starving!)

    I'm also a re starter & am on day 5 of hardcore cd! It's a killer, but it is getting a bit easier. I'm hoping that once the dreaded weekend is out the way I'll be ok. I just keep visualising myself in my pre preg dresses in summer & that helps a bit. It doesn't help that (thanks to my mum)...

    Pasta & the damages!!

    I no longer eat my ds1's leftovers. But when I was pregnant with ds2 I made extra for me! It's a bad habit that lots of mums have to overcome. Don't worry about the repercussions as like you said it's done now, just move on & remember how bad you feel about it & use that feeling to stop you...

    Aiming to lose a stone in 6 weeks

    Hi Jools You're right about the pepsi max, it's the citric acid that can have an effect on blood sugar. The menu sounds fine. Just don't forget to count the carbs in the cheese. If it is cheddar then it is 1g per ounce. The reason for njo hunger is because you are in ketosis. I love the...

    atkins bars

    I agree on the meringues they are absolutely vile! I got the low carb wraps & they are 7g total carbs, 4g net. I always would count the total as I seem to be sensitive to the fibre. The best thing to do it try them over a few days & monitor what the scales say. If you are still losing a...

    My BMI is 23.9 and my cdc still says i should be ss ing

    I swaqpped to Atkins in december as I was finding it difficult to stick to CD. I didn't lose anymore weight, I just maintained what I was at. You would need to stick to around 1000cals on Atkins to lose weight, & that is not as easy as it sounds... Good luck with whatever you decide. x
  246. ZoBo

    atkins bars

    I had these when I did Atkins last year. They were a major saviour as they took that sweet craving away..... But after losing nothing for two weeks, I realised they were stalling my losses. So I stopped. If you really need them, then try to just have one as a treat, maybe 1-2 times a week.

    Well done Tricia, it's better than 1lb on. I still feel very positive, which is fab as I've not felt like this since end of Nov! Am starving, but the voices in my head seem to be winning at the minute which is great! Just hope it stays that way! My next challenge is to get through this...

    How do you work out the carbs?

    Yes Jim, it's right. I also made the same mistake for months! Didn't affect my weighloss mind.
