    single gals?

    I'm 23, got no kids, not pregnant (that I know of) and got this big as I have a love for crisps and other very naughty food. I'm doing this diet just for me, so I can go shopping and go into any shop. There is also a naughty reason (I want to look good in lingerie for my man too).

    I love Banana & toffee and walnut - yum yum. I dont like Choc Orange & Fruits of The Forest - FOF tastes really chalky and I think it's minging.

    The mouse? Do you mean the mix a mousse powder which you mix up and then put in the fridge? Sorry to ask like this, but just want to be sure.

    810 protein - cooked or uncooked weights?

    I was going to say uncooked, but then a couple of times I had cooked chicken from a Supermarket and I just did the same amount anyway.
  132. MR2_Owner

    810? Confused?

    It might be that with your losses being 2lb a week, your body might need a little bit more to help it do it's processes. Plus you aren't that far off BMI 25 - just 10lbs. If you aren't sure exactly why then why don't you give your CDC a ring and go through it with her/him?

    Why oh why????

    Hiya :) Just wanted to say that we are all human and make mistakes, but as you've said above you need to draw a line under it and move on. I read on a forum about cheese literally being solid fat (or thats what it was made out to be) and since I read that I do have a teeny tiny bit once in a...

    one month gone xxx

    Well done that is great, I feel so much better and I'm 24lbs down so far :)
  211. MR2_Owner

    All advice welcome please

    Hiya, If you want this bad enough then you can do it. I'm on the 1200 plan and already I have learnt so much about food choices and feel a million times better. I'm nearly 2 stone down out of a total of 9 stone and wouldn't get off of this diet at all. So what I'm trying to say is don't think...

    It's saturday lets do it **hou by hour**

    I had Porridge at 10am this morning, would've stayed asleep but my Man woke me up as we had to go out! Had 2 pints of water so far and have put a 1.5L bottle of water in the fridge for the rest of the day. Had some mackerel and lettuce for lunch, just sitting here taking it easy for a bit :)

    introducing bars and porridge

    Are there any other CD's you could go to in your area? I have a really good CDC and always get clear cut and spot on advice.

    ive just had an idea........

    I only have about 3 bars a week - I love the caramel ones, but I think of them as 'treats' :) I wouldnt say they affect my losses at all - but then everyone is different and some are sensitive when some arent.

    50+ Reasons To Lose Weight - For Those Low Moments

    Ok I am printing this out tomorrow! Mine would be: - Be able to get in and out of my sports car without looking like an OAP hauling myself up from it as it's so low! - To be able to get an outfit from Ann Summers and fit into it, rather than only being able to fit what feels like the size of...

    mood swings

    I've suffered from Depression and it is evil, it really is and can be so overpowering. It sounds like you need a little bit of time out, enjoy being at your Mums and get some TLC :) x

    Somebody stop me!!

    Periods suck, it's official. Just resist that bar & stay busy on here or whatever. You can do it, good luck for your appointment tomorrow too.

    What does "DH" mean?

    I think it's 'Dear Husband' - OH is another common one and I understand that is 'Other Half'. Not that I'm sure, but that's what I believe them to be.

    Has anyone else noticed that there sense of smell has heightened!

    I have, everything smells a lot more intense to me.

    I'm not a fan of ......

    I dont like fruits of the forest either - tastes really chalky to me, no matter if I use the minimum amount or loads. You arent alone!

    Starting CD Soon

    Hiya, welcome to CD :) I find the nicest shakes for me are toffee & walnut, butterscotch, chocolate & chocolate mint. However you are best starting off with trying as many as you can in your first week and see what you do/dont like - everyone is really different and what some people could love...
  223. MR2_Owner

    What is wrong with me (contains food ref)

    We all fall off the wagon, just think that next time if you get tempted to go for chocolate it may give you a similar headache to the one you got today - that might help put you off? Put it behind you, stick to it 100% from now and glug the water and you may find you'll be ok.
  224. MR2_Owner

    I've made a huge mistake...

    I love butterscotch - so yummy and moreish. Personally I am not a fan of the choc orange, fruits of the forest and strawberry shakes so I steer clear of them now. You can also mix the sachets too, which might give you a bit more variety - ie banana & butterscotch could be a verson of 'banoffee'.

    WOW well done, that is a fantastic loss! I've lost that over 5 weeks, not that I'm complaining but what you have done is fab - the loss will most likely even out now and your losses may well be a bit more reasonable but it's still 20lbs gone whatever way you look at it :)

    Frozen Strawberry Silk is...............

    I put mine in the freezer for about 40 mins as I hadnt put it in the fridge and it was chilled to perfection - I love it!

    Peek-a-boo

    It's good that you have been sensible at the same time as enjoying the meals :) My Man is away during the week, but I get to see him nearly every weekend and he's very impressed with the slightly slimmer me - I did something today, which I hadnt done for ages and literally 'pounced' on him ;) I...

    what do you miss most..........????

    Marks & Spencers Roast Beef crisps! I love them.
  229. MR2_Owner

    Does anyone else find the bars too moorish and make you hungry?

    I really like the malt toffee & caramel ones but I only have them at night - especially if I've had a super bad day at work. Cant say that I notice they make me hungry, I just glug down the water constantly anyway.

    The porridge is nice...

    I had some this morning too, it's so creamy! Really nice tho, but then I've always loved porridge and even more so - especially in the autumn/winter. Might ask if I can swap some of my order for about 2-3 sachets this week. Oh and had a strawberry tetra last night - I love that too, hate the...

    HELP!! (strongly urge guys not to enter this thread:D)

    Hi Hun, I've always had irregular periods - they got more and more rare the heavier I got. I've now lost 20lbs and had a period from hell this week. It lasted for the usual 5 days, but I was going through three of the always blue night time pads for 3 days running. I also had a lot of brown...

    Newbie Here - 5th WI this week

    Hi Everyone - thought I would reply to this thread rather than start another - went for my 5th WI just over an hour ago and have lost 5lbs in a week! Talk about happy - I'm now also loving the inches going down properly now! Made my CDC very very proud of me - long may it continue I say.

    CD porridge. Hated it :-(

    Am excited now, got a free sample of porridge tonight which I will save to try one morning. Altho it's so cold tonight tomorrow morning sounds like a good idea!

    The weather

    Tonnes of it here, was cloudy this morning now it's sunny - was really hot earlier, but I swear there is now a bit more of a breeze and feels way cooler - or maybe thats down to the 1/4 litre of water I've had over a short space of time!

    Newbie Here - 5th WI this week

    Hi All, Have been browsing on here for weeks and thought I would come say hi & share my CD Story so far. My Dr wouldnt sign off my form, as my BMI is over 40 which meant I had to start on the 1200 plan - not that I mind, I lost 7lbs in my first week, 5th WI in this week and I'm loving it. I...
