I must say that when I can't get food out of my head in the evenings , I just wrap up warmly and go to bed. A bit boring, but effective! Have just finished watching the first episode of the new season of Greys Anatomy (yay, it's back!):D, so time to grab a glass of water and go to bed - night...

Hang in there! I've just completed my first week of SS+ and lost 4.5lbs despite sticking to the plan 100%. I was quite happy because this plan is do-able and I know I WILL see results as the weeks pass and every loss is a step closer towards reaching my goal. It's natural for weight to...

Hey Jazz - glad things have worked out with your new CDC, it's amazing what good support can do! Today has been the first day I've struggled - the grapes just looked divine and for the first time since I started this 9 days ago, I actually felt a little miserable and deprived! Ending the...

Hello everyone Had my Wk 1 weigh in yesterday and lost 4.5lbs which I'm happy with :D. CDC was a little surprised it was such a low loss, but with me being on SS+, I'm quite happy with that. TOTM also kicked in last night, a whole week early so that could also have something to do with the...

Welcome Katybear and congrats on the wedding! Be kind to yourself and embrace the hunger (easier said than done!), which should be so much easier to manage once you're in ketosis. You've lost weight before so you KNOW you can do it and that should motivate you to see the journey through:)! Mandy x

Well hello everyone! I'm on Day 4 of SS+ and everything is going okay so far. I do find it strange that I'm not craving the doughnuts, crisps and pies - but saw a woman in town this morning eating an apple and I was practically salivating! I'm still focused and feel happier knowing that I...

Restarting CD this week after a 6 month break, so hope you don't mind me joining (I've been lurking while getting my mind into gear and ready for the restart)! Well actually I didn't ever really get going first time around :cry:because I had severe hives as a response to ketosis and it was so...

Ok, back on track after a bad week! When I did LL 6 years ago my periods stopped altogether, so a common-ish side effect in particular if you're in ketosis. Re the smear test, you shouldn't be restrained Peach, just lying on a bed and you'll be asked to put your heels together and drop your...

Hi everyone I've been absent for a few days while I've hung my head in shame:(! I've blown it big time - I'm supposed to be on the 810 plan and I was doing ok, before I decided to add a bit of this and then a bit of that, and then just a few sweets, and then a chocolate bar! ARGHGH! Why do I...

Little Gem, scales are calibrated differently so I wouldn't be too worried about not seeing a greater loss today - it may also be the time of day being different, clothing, etc. I'm a tad on the obsessive side when it comes to weighing, I'm afraid - twice a day I hop (I use the term 'hop'...

Well done on the 1lb! I managed to take myself off to the gym this morning for the first time in months, managing to get through a workout and actually enjoyed it. Had all the personal trainers hovering around me like vultures though, probably weighting for the big girl to drop and need...

GT, honey it was only ONE piece of pizza - hope you enjoyed it without feeling guilty over every mouthful! Think about your week overall and when you see how you've stuck to your plan 99% over the whole week, you can stop beating yourself up over a tiny blip ;). Ok, is there actually such a...

Kippaxmum, your comment about your wedding dress made me smile, but for an entirely different reason. I was a slim size 12 on my wedding day and I have one tiny wedding pic of my husband and I on the wall in our living room. A friend (or should I say ex-friend) came to visit and innocently...

Little Gem, your hair looks fab! :D I can't wait to have lost enough weight for people to notice - that would be great motivation. Oh, and to buy some new clothes would be lovely too (can't imagine ever being slim enough to look good in white trousers though!). Last year I didn't go to my...

Hi all Have had a chat with my CDC about changing to 810 on Thursday as they think the rash I have is due to being allergic to ketones! 810 will give me more carbs than SS so will hopefully alleviate the hives I've had since starting CD. I think I'm just worried that the weight loss won't be...

Woops, tried to do a quick post which disappeared:(, so take 2! I'm also not going to be out much while I'm sticking to CD because I tend to sabotage myself when it comes to temptation, so I think I need a couple more weeks before I feel I'm able to socialise again. I'm going to be a saddo...

Tracey, I'm also not going to have a social life over the next few months as I tend to sabotage myself when I'm faced with temptation! I think I need a couple more weeks of being on CD before I'll be ok socialising again. It's a Saturday night and I plan on being a saddo and will tune into...

Great weight loss, Little Gem! Seeing others lose consistently motivates me to keep going! It's Saturday and the family are having burgers tonight - arrghghg! :sigh: I had my second shake earlier than normal today, which means I'll be wanting my evening one earlier than normal. Delaying...

Hi everyone - I'm newish (I've been lurking!!). I'm in Week 2 of CD and am feeling miserable about it all. I did LL about 5 years ago and successfully kept the weight off until my mum passed away last year and I ate myself through the crisis:wave_cry:! I'm finding it so much harder this time...

Hi, I'm new to the forums and will be having my first weigh in tomorrow morning! I've done SS this week, and it's been difficult, but I'm keen to see what the scales say tomorrow. I reckon I'm now in ketosis as my mouth feels rubbish, but another thing I noticed on Day 2 was my skin erupting...
