I'm in a similar situation and have done worse than you. I actually added 2st over the original weight I lost (1st) which was still short of my goal when I first went on CD/SS (Jan2008). I stopped smoking in July 2009 after 25years so have blamed that for extra weight too but I can't handle not...

I'm doing exactly the same thing an only on Day 2 of re-start number 2 this year (i.e. 9 days :-/) Not sure why I'm finding it so hard as I easily did 14 days SS before Christmas and didn't even think about food :(

Flavourings kept me out of ketosis and when read booklet I noticed they also said only from week 3 (like the bars) and 1 tsp a day .. It was only when I cut everything out aside from shakes/tetras that I managed to go into ketosis. My CDC told me only 1 tetra a day as they're too 'concentrated'...

Wow - you're doing great and I admire your no-alcohol policy and totally agree it definitely contributes to me piling on the lbs too but I can't resist :-/ I've been doing great on SS so far I don't count 4lbs I lose or add as I know this is how much my weight can fluctuate from morning to...

Thanks for letting me know - going to look into it right now! Did you go straight from SS? I've lost around 6lbs this week now on SS and have about 8 more to go but really can't SS for more than another week as there are a few parties I'm going to so I don't mind slower loss .. just scared of...

Karen as you know (having read my post and directing me here)..I'm in same boat and almost threw in towel on Wed! Restarter SS Mon & Tue drank around 7l of flavoured water (I drink a lot of water in general;))... and noticed CD booklet mentioning flavourings after week 2 wks only then found...

Well done on the loss. I was(am) exactly the same as a 'newbie' - sometimes have no time to search for answers so just post and hope no one moans at me :0)

I'm useless at doing CD when it comes to adding food.. at the moment I'm SSing (day5) and would be grateful to last until next week. I'm definitely losing though as I've still been going to gym and can feel it on clothes so that's keeping me going. I have been reading a lot about atkins and...

Doris I felt just like you especially since the last time my CDC insisted I do maintenance 'properly' after SS.. but when I called her she was great and even she admitted going through same ups and downs ;) PS: Day5 SS and gone from a day at a time to a few hours at a time coz I stuck the jumbo...

Thank you for your advice and support. I've not touched the flavouring today and really hope ketosis kicks in by weekend because that's mainly snacks/treats cravings are worst!

I gained close on over a stone in month so know it's definitely possible to put it on fast. I empathise totally as I'm back on CD (where every day is feeling like a month) but hoping that because I put it on fast, I'll lose it fast.. I'm also still worried about maintaining after I lose because...

Hi, I started SS (again..) on Monday and bought the water flavourings from my CDC but it wasn't until last night I read in the CD booklet that Water Flavourings are only allowed after 2nd week :( I had tons of water with flavourings since Mon and don't think I've gone into ketosis yet. Does...

Hi there, I started again yesterday having lost over a stone last year this time and putting it back on. I tried to re-start through the year but never managed to make it past day 3 so gave up.. seems the minute my body's about to go into ketosis I start eating! I'm determined not to have this...

Thanks for all your replies. In agreement with Chunka_Malunka started CD again today.. seems to be the only thing that works!

I am completely stumped.. I go to the gym almost everyday and run at least 5 miles. I've cut my carb intake down to around 20g a day and would like to know if this is enough to put me in ketosis as I'm simply not losing any weight? I have been eating stuff with aspartame and had some nuts etc...

I've had the CD bars and actually find these more filling. May have something to do with crunchy texture?!

Thank you to you all - this is great news indeed! x

Hi there, was on CD and SS'd successfully in Dec but since then can't manage to SS for longer than 3 days. Been reading this forum for months and found it great in answering questions without ever having to make a post but have to give it a go today as I'm confused. Since doing CD I've read more...
