This is makes sense. Thank you for explaining it all so well xx

You have definitely failed to keep in ketosis with a pizza. You can start again though if you feel it is the right plan for you. Good luck

Hi there. I am worried a meal every day will hinder my loss as the 4 packs seem to have. I'm tempted to alternate between 3 packs one day then 3 packs and meal the other.

Hi all, I am a failed bander but do quite well on vlcd when I'm on them. I have previously been on Cambridge Diet and followed the sole source plan having 3 packs a day. Occasionally I did Sole Source plus and had the low carb/ high protein meal. Weight loss was averaging 3lb a week. Still...

Fab loss - well done. I am on Day 3 and have been struggling today, just sliced up a pizza for my daughter and had to have a good sniff of it ! Felt a bit faint today even though my water intake has been fab. My husband is out in his lorry overnight so the temptation is awful so I'm going for...

Hi there, Good luck for your first week. The band hasn't worked for me as it was nothing like I thought it would be. I thought you just ate smaller portions and felt full. How it works is that the band is fitted at the bottom of your oesphagus (sp?) and presses on the nerve endings. When...

I find the flavour nasty but like the consistency as it is almost like having real food. Not sure if I would try another.

Are you allowed to just stick a tetra in the freezer?

Hi all :wavey: I have just started day 2 and am surviving ...... just! Keep trying to make myself busy so my thoughts don't stray to food. Yesterday was not so bad, tried the rice pudding for dinner - the taste was awful but consistency was great and seemed to fill me up - not sure if I would...

Thank you Mini x I have 6 weeks before I go on holiday so want to lose about 20lbs before then. I know I won't be able to stick at it on holiday so am prepared to put some back on but then will knuckle down and hopefully be in a very good place by Christmas. Strangely enough I am quite excited.

Hi all, This is my third attempt at the plan, the last one was back in 2008!!!! Weight has been up and down ever since and even though I think this plan is soooo hard the results make it worth it. Nothing worse then being on a diet, struggling like mad and losing half a pound (lets all give...

Wayheeeeeey!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just back from my weigh in and my CDC told me how much I had put on over the 2 weeks I was off plan and it was 6lbs :eek::eek::eek:. But can you believe that in the 5 days I was back on SS (I started Monday) I have lost that 6lbs plus 1 and a half more!!!!!!!!. I am...

Wayhey - I'm back! I ate sooo much - breakfast, 2 course lunches, 3 course dinners:eek: It would have been rude not to as it was all included, plus there was the social aspect of the course :7834::7834: I'm getting my packs tonight and I am going to see if I can not weigh and see what happens...

Well done Hur! A great result. I am having problems at the moment getting back on track. I am going away next week with for a work course in Torquay and all the food is included and I have been fretting about it. I have emailed my CDC to tell her that I am going to eat for that week and...

I think that they are yukky - they taste like sawdust to me!

Blimey - did you cut off a leg or something???!!!!

Very well done - you look amazing! Have you not painted those stairs yet though:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

I must admit that I am a food sniffer!

Wayhey we won! No weigh in for me this week as I was off the plan and felt like death warmed up. So I guess it is a big fat zero for me. Sorry guys - will do better next week:D

I think the M&S ones are the worse!

Blimey - you look fab!

Hi Wizzbang, Hope you are feeling better - I have had the very same and had antibiotics to take. My GP told me I needed to come off the plan and eat carbs for the pills to work so I have not weighed this week (too scared to see what damage I have done!). Back on the plan today and I am...

That's a good loss for week 6 :D. Well done!

It's like Day 1 for me today as I had last week off so struggling like mad. Glug glug glug! I think it's harder to restart.

Wayhey! Is this my 7lbs? Don't expect anything for next week as I have been off the plan to try and get over the lurgy :(:(

Well done! When I lost weight before, I had my engagement ring made smaller but when I put my weight back on I couldn't get it on. My wedding ring looks so bare without it (I did not have that adjusted as the other one kept it on). I can't wait to lose enough to get it back on.

Bah, I can't see them yet :(

Make sure you drink loads as it usually helps.

Welcome Hur575!

Well done!

Sparkling water is fine, that's what I drink. I just fill my trolley with loads of supermarket own brand as I can't stand still water. With regards to Dr Pepper Zero and Coke Zero the offical answer is no but many do have it and have not suffered but it does affect some.

I haven't got to 6 weeks yet but have lost 25lbs in 5 weeks. Slightly heavier than you (well was!)

Good luck to all those starting today! :welcome:

Well done! I can't wait until that happens to me. I think that's one of the worse things when you are big, thighs chaffing when on holiday:sign0137:

It always comes off in the end!

Thanks Jules, at least with time off work it's more time to spend on here! Not thinking too much about the diet this week as can't seem to keep any of the packs down. Just having 'normal' soup and bits and pieces then will get back on SS when I am better.

I had to come home from work last Wednesday morning as I felt awful and as I felt no better went to the GP's this morning. It turns out I have tonsillitus, laryngitus (sp?) and broncitus!! Trust me not to just have one thing. He has given me a note off work for a week and a prescription for...

Bah, still fell like c*** :sick::sick::sick: but looking on the bright side I did manage to lose 7lbs on friday night. My husband drove me to my CDC as I forced myself to have a shower and get dressed. He said not to bother going but I just have to get weighed or else it does not seem right...

Oooooo, I know just how you feel as I have the lurgy too. I don't have a runny nose but am coughing constantly and my head and throat are killing me. I have felt like this since Wednesday :( and have been off work. I have really struggled to get fluids and packs down and have had 1 in the...

Since Tuesday night I have felt ill and had to come home from work on Wednesday. Since then I have spent the entire time either in bed or on the sofa with the duvet over me. I have had the cold shakes (even tho my body feels hot), non-stop coughing, every bone in my body aching and a constant...

Hi all, I get weighed on a friday night so my details for last week are: Starting weight: 17 stone 6lbs Weight loss: 4lbs

Bah, feel really poorly today. Yesterday I spent all evening on the sofa under the duvet and I lasted an hour at work and had to come home. Hardly drank anything yesterday as throat so sore so expecting a bad weight loss this week.

Back from my weigh in. Started the week really well but struggled from Monday onwards as was struggling with the water and to actually get down all my packs. Managed to lose 4lbs though and I'm on a mission to drink more water this week to see what that will do.

I get weighed on a friday so do you want last friday's result? If so I was 17 stone 9 and lost 3lbs making 17 stone 6.

OOO, I'm all excited at the moment. After having a couple of slowish weeks where I wished I could have lost a pound or two more, I think this is going to be a good week. I get weighed on Friday nights and it normally takes a couple of days for any loss to show after that. Wellllll, I...

Welcome and good luck!

Good luck too BuffyDog! I'm just watching X-Factor and wish I looked like Cheryl Cole (without the gimp of a husband like hers!!)

Hi Team! Just back from my weigh in and have lost 3lbs:). Glad to have lost that as I had 2 instances of eating in the past week. The first time I went out and had a caesar salad with the dressing on the side and did not eat the croutons (ate the parmesan tho'). Then for some reason I...

Hi Jules, It's great to be in a team. It took about 9 months for my weight to go back on but I did not refeed at all, I just fell off the wagon when I went away and never managed to get back on. Before I did CD I paid an astonising £3500 to have a gastric balloon and I lost 3 and a half...

Oo Oo Oo. Can I be a member of your team please? My name is Sharon and this is my third week of CD. I did do the diet about 3 years ago but went a bit astray after a couple of months and put it back on and a bit (well lot) more. I am married and have a 6 year old called Bethany and have...

Sorry to hear about your poor 2nd week. I only lost 2lbs in mine and so am hoping for a bigger loss this week in my third. If you are sticking to the plan it is impossible not to lose the weight and will catch up eventually. Remember that women's bodies are strange things and can retain water...

I would love to join a team. I am on week 3 and could do with some support:D

Oooo, well done. I love clothes and can't wait to be able to shop in 'normal' places. I went down to just over 13 stones a couple of years ago on CD and it was great to walk into Next and buy a size 16 (which was the smallest I had been for years). Although I think Evans have got a bit...

Well done in your first week. My CDC is great and explained all the 'nitty gritty' of how the diet works. If you stick to the plan 100% it is impossible not to have a decent weight loss. Good luck and welcome to the club!:D

Thanks alot. My scales are saying I have only lost a pound so far this week but I guess there are a few days to go and I just have to be very good for the rest of the week.

I got weighed on Friday night and thought I did so well became a bit complacent and thought would treat myself to a tiny bit of chicken and green veg (as allowed on SS+ even though I am on SS I thought it would be ok). Ever since I have been craving food like mad. Yesterday my little girl was...

I can't see them for some reason :( Perhaps it's because I'm a newbie. Could you post them on here so I can have a look as I have about the same amount of weight to lose and want to see what I will look like at Xmas ;)

I'm confused now. I got weighed friday and lost 9lbs so now need to lose 91. Do I count this? Sharon

First weigh in yesterday and lost 9lbs! :bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss: Only 91lbs to go. It seems alot but I just have to lose 11 times what I have just done which does not seem so bad.

ChoppyGirl: Start 258, target 158 - 100lb to go

Sorry can't offer any advice but I am sure a councillor will be on soon. Keep your chin up though and think of all that effort you would have wasted if you fall off the wagon now! :girlpower::girlpower:

Hi all, I am on day 7 (weigh in tonight!) and for the last couple of days I am really struggling to get all the packs down. In fact yesterday I just had 1 tetra at work. I ususally have 2 tetras at work (for breakfast about 11 then lunch about 3) then make up a pack at home but I just can't...

Well done you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss:

Good Luck. I can't believe you have not been near a set of scales. This is my first week and I have been on about 5 times since Saturday! My councillor says this is the only week I am allowed to weigh at home LOL

I did the toffe and walnut and just kept nuking it until it looked ok. It was more like a soft cookie than a biscuit. it smelt lovely:D

I could not face my 3rd pack last night so made some mixture up really thick, stuck it on some baking paper and put it in the microwave. It made some kind of cookies which weren't too bad actually. Does anyone know if we are allowed to do this? Sharon x

I have noticed that nearly all the articles where the bod has quite a lot to use starts off with Cambridge. It's the future! (as Peter Kaye would say).

Hi all, I am a newbie after having lost nearly 3 stones 3 years ago. I have managed to put that back on and a couple of stone more so I have 100 pounds to lose. I would love to join the race to give me a bit of an incentive. I started saturday morning and get weighed on Friday:D
