I think the exercise is boosting my immune system. I kicked my colds bum in two days and hubby has had it for five already. Was thinking about making a muffin out of the porridge so I get an oaty muffin. Hope you are having another breezy day Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I basically did the same but its been my decision to step 3 (cwc approved though) I started running while I was on holiday (I'm not very good mind) and I really want to keep it up. My weight obsession is going into decline in a positive way and now my goals are all fitness bassed. My current...

That is a lovely problem to have, its good to hear you are finding it easy. Hot chocolate shake with coffee is yummy too. Do you plan to ss until goal or come up the steps as you get closer? Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks nmc's, its good to be back. I am going to spend the week on 1500 cals and then work my way down from there. Think I will step 3 my way to goal, slow but steady. Nice loss nmc's 6 inches is great, have you got any new clothes for summer? Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hey there nmc, well I am back from my holibobs and totally shattered. There was so much cleaning up to do after the woman we had looking after our cats, totally abused our home grrrrr. Well I stayed the same for my final pre holiday wi which was annoying. Feel I have gained weight while I was...

8lbs! Wow I would be so happy if I was 8lbs lighter. Tomorrow is the day of the final preholiday wi. I haven't even peeked on my scales this week so I don't have time to go off the rails if its not what I want but to be honest I don't care what they say. I am so in the zone I actually got new...

2-3 lbs off is great, hope I get that. Your hubby is bound to loose a stone then try to tempt you with takeout as he has done so well. How is he getting on with his week? Not been to an imax yet, I would love to though, actually I'm not sure why I haven't already. Sent from my GT-I9300 using...

Gah!! Husband got tickets to the godzilla premier on sunday and we cant go. I haven't been to a premier since man of steel came out boohiss. Just a bit of background, husband works for warnerbros and we used to get premier tickets all the time and it a really goo night out but they have been...

Ooooooooh I love curry, by far my favourite cuisine. I will probably just have yet another omelette after the gym cos its so quick. I'm not expecting a huge loss, I only have 10lbs until goal so I would be happy with 2 lbs. how long until you wi? Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

There is a class I can make tomorrow and the instructor is a hard ass so I will be going to that instead and dragging husband with me. I did manage to get in a walk today so should end up on around 14000 steps by the time I finish work. Weigh in is on sat, fingers crossed. How did you get on...

Men do have it easier, no doubt about it. I missed my spin class cos I had to wait I for a delivery. Boo hiss. No extra extra protein for me. :( Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah the lucky ******* have a higher metabolism than we do because they have more muscle. Spin day tomorrow so I get extra extra protein woo!! Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

That will be so much better to do it together, you can spur each other on. I am totally in the zone sod ketosis, I don't need it. Husband is being really good by dragging me to the gym and joining me for long walks. Its weird you mentioned bikinis, I just got another one for holiday.:D Sent...

That is amaze-balls!! 12lbs!! you must feel so much more comfortable and confident than you did 3 weeks ago. I cant wait until I can say the same. Are you still in the zone a breezing it? I'm doing well, the extra protein has really helped me out my energy levels are much higher than they were...

5.30am I'm up and in the shower so I can get to work for 7.30 and do a over a12 hour shift. You just know it's going to be one of those bad days that seems drag on for eternity. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

House renovation, I am sooooo jealous!!! There is so much I would love to change in our house. I think 5.2 is a the only thing I haven't tried ha, just know it wouldn't work for me. Glad you enjoyed your dinner, a satisfying meal can make all the difference. Just been to spin class with a...

All leaves are fine :D I love using water cress to pepper up my salads. Are you going away at all this year? I figured I would combine trips to the gym with low carbing for holiday to try and limit damage, don't want to take thin clothes for the way there and fat clothes for the way back. Have...

Well I asked cdc and she said to give it until tomorrow and if ketosis still isn't happening to up the protein meals so I don't go into starvation mode. Anyway results are in and I have lost 4lbs since monday which means I am about 3lbs heavier than I was before easter. I'm not going to get down...

Well done on the forward planning, think that is half the battle when it comes to diets. Good idea taking a bar, that way you won't feel deprived when they have afters. Genius! Went a bit chicken crazy last night when I got home from work. My body is not going into ketosis so I'm really bloody...

The mix a mousse is something you add to a shake (think you need a hand blender for it) and it turns the shake into a mousse. I've not tried it cos i'm not a huge fan of the shakes but would be interested if I could use it to make some yummy jelly. Well done on sticking to plan, hope work...

Just happy to help x. We all have our low moments and sometimes all it takes is a little perspective a few kind words and a moment to take a breath for us to shake it off clear our heads and start seeing solutions. Own it and then make it your bi**ch haha. Cripes I'm just full of motivational...

Hi bev, I know I'm new to this diary and haven't posted before, but I have been reading avidly for a while. I too am a serial self sabotager and an emotional eater (food = love, yawn at that old chestnut) and when it felt like my life was going down the toilet (redundancy, financial worries...

It really does make you fell good!! I love to feel in control. Have you tried using the water flavour and mix a mousse to make jelly?

pretty darn good, had a soup (cooked like a muffin) a tuna salad (bit dry) and a plain porridge with a teaspoon of banana shake (LUSH!!!!!) when I get home tonight I will have either banana porridge again or the apple cinnamon. also necked 2.5 liters of water, should be at least 3ls by bed time...

You are not short you are fun size haha. So how is it going today? Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

RIGHT!! ahhhhhhh 4'11 it all makes sense now. well I am 2 products and 2 eggs into my 3rd day 1 and thanks to a very busy day at work I feel fine and haven't really thought about food. Think my head is finally back in the right place to do this properly.

9!!! I applaud your ambition. If I'm really honest with myself I want to be 10st at that weight I should be a comfortable size 10, just not sure I could ever maintain it. Still gonna aim for 10.8 with the clothes on and try to stick at that for a while and see how easy/difficult that is. Sent...

Just weighed myself, put on 5lbs!!! Feeling disgusted and determined. I want to get rid of a stone in two weeks, bring on the pain. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

How much have you got to loose and hoe much have you lost already? The closer you are to goal the harder your body holds onto fat, hust another annoyance I'm afraid. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Also I'm really excited about being 100% as of tomorrow and getting back to where I was happiest. Also I am in serious pain from spin. Ok I'm done. Dream where are you? This time I really am done:p Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Erm can you be on medication that lowers your blood pressure? alcohol does not mix well with that stuff. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I always read the diaries on this forum and marvel that no matter how different our background, ages, genders etc are we still have the same issues with food. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Its a good diet shift next week, I work 3pm until 11.20pm I can stay in bed late have a porridge before I go some chicken and a soup or bar while I'm there and then another porridge when I get home, this shift and night shift are the mosr Cambridge friendly cos I can go to break alone. The...

Think we are all trying to get to place where we can just accept this new way of eating and not rebel against it. I bet working in a school is really busy and it sounds like you are doing the right level of activity, listening to your body and doing what it tells you you can handle. My job is...

No you are totally right!!! Don't spin on vlcd, I go when I'm on step 2 or higher. On ss/ss+ I do exercise but much more gently. I go out for walks or a little gym session that isn't so demanding. If i was new to exercise I wouldn't even do that. Fainting in public is not my idea of a good time...

yay!!!! porridge for lunch then!! I love the porridge, I mix half a porridge and half a chocolate shake, its yummy. Going to try it with banana as well. Off holiday shopping today, going with a friend that is also dieting tho so shouldn't be too much temptation. Will probably head to yo...

Also I am hurting so badly from my spin class that I vow never to order pizza and cookies while I have no self control, its not worth it! Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Right nmc this is me pledging to go ss plus from monday untill I get back to 10st 8. I'm making you my diet pin up girl. :D Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Please don't leave us again NMC we need your direction. I was a bad girl yesterday, I had pizza and went 1297 cals over my 1200 limit!!! Been doing so well sticking at 1200 this week then I just lost the plot. I had started repenting for my sins this morning with a spin class but I still have...

Oh wow nomorecakes. You have done so well and been so strong. You will have to post more often to keep dream and I on the straight and narrow. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I put on 1.4 lbs, not too bad all in all. Haven't been able to go full on ss+ this week (don't feel comfortable getting out products at work, it's a very male environment) so just been calorie counting. Will try and get on it properly next week when i'm on a different shift with fewer people about.

They probably think they are supportive, you just got unlucky. How us the search going? I did really well yesterday, I went for a nap after I got home from work yesterday and ended up sleeping all night so I missed dinner haha. Going on the scales for the first time since easter to see the...

Wow, well done on losing weight. You seem really determined to get this done. Hope you find a cdc that can support and encourage you. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

If your cdc wants a review then write her one, just make sure it's honest haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I think a new cdc would be the way to go. How did you get on today? I was doing really well until I had some birthday cake. It was only a small bit and for once it didn't trigger a binge so maybe not all bad. Cooked some chicken and eggs and got in some salad tonight so I'm fighting fit for a...

Ww isn't outrageously expensive but getting in all the lean protein and low or zero point veg is. like with the cdcs it's just luck as to whether you get a good leader or not and that will make a difference to your success. My old leader was good by ww standards but don't expect any one to one...

Had loads of fun, but looking forward to going back on plan tomorrow and ditching this cake belly. Can't believe the mother in law made me two birthday cakes, I may fall into a cake coma. :eek: Have you got the atkins book? Do you know the rules? There is an atkins section on minimins thats...

Friend is in bits but she is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. She is going to go for more ivf in june and she decided that I can start trying at the same time so we can do it together. Husbands don't get a choice haha. It's a shame you ran out of products. If your cdc...

Sorry I have been awol, there is no phone signal or Internet access where we stayed. That's crap about your cdc, she doesn't seem to be taking very good care of you. How have you been the last couple of days? I did really well one night and made sone good choices but tge other I was really bad...

Right, I have snapped myself out of it. I have had a ham sandwich (no butter, no chips) dinner will be pizza (damm husband) but I will limit myself to three slice with salad. Then one of the creme egg blondies I made yesterday, it I have any calories left I shall waste them on G&T's. Well done...

Oh god, I already feel fat and I haven't even eaten anything, I think its going to be a difficult few days :eek: Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Don't leave that room or better yet go for a walk! Make sure they chuck left overs in the outside bin too Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Don't break for three days, I wouldn't if I wasn't staying with friends!!!!! It will just be too difficult to get back to it when your so early in the process. If you stick to protein and low carb veg (no root veg or sweetcorn) and limit dairy you won't come put of ketosis and still have a super...

My cdc didn't have her scales today (not her fault) so we had to use mine still means I have lost 8lbs :D Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I shall give it a go but I'm not hopeful. Breaking for three days. Fri, sat and mon. Sunday I should be able to get in a step 2 day. think I'm going to come back on step 2/ss + I'm 8lbs from my target so I think the ultra low calories on ss could push me into starvation mode. Sent from my...

Wow one day is good, a nice little break then back on it. I bet you still get a good loss. You are making me so jealous of you, I wish I could drink tea. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Going atkins is a good way to break. how many days will you break for? The tea sounds interesting and a laxatives on this diet are kind of a must. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

So been using your technique this morning and think its really helped. The easter eggs have finally stopped talking to me. Going to keep the image of skinny me in the back of my mind this weekend and let it help me make good choices. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

One slice is definitely better than six, i admire your restraint but it's probably delayed ketosis for a few hours. Try eggs or ham or even crispy streaky bacon next time. The salf will make you retain fluid but only if you don't drink extra to make up for it and it won't mess with ketosis...

How are your cravings? Have you tried the recipe for cwp crisps yet? I did a savoury muffin with the chicken mushroom soup and it really helped my cravings for savoury, salty stuff. Wish there was a savoury bar as well as sweet ones. Tonight I discovered heaven is half a porridge mixed with half...

Wish I liked green tea! Tried it sooooo many times in various different ways and still find it toxic. I must admit that from the outside real food seems awesome, but I just found I was teasing myself. I mean come on who can really just have 2 squares of chocolate or just 20 grams of cheese...

We both know the cake will hurt but I will get my ass to the gym to help burn it off haha. Thanks, getting it all off was not easy!!! Ww is a good plan and it works, the problem I had with it is that I was never quite satisfied. Always just a little bit hungry. I think it took me a year to...

Gonna try to be on my guard but friends have requested I make creme egg blondies for them (don't have it in my heart to refuse cos they are going through some really tough times) plus mother in law is making me a birthday cake. Poor me haha. The current plan is to stick to protein and veg and...

How much have you got to loose before you hit the 12's? Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ok well you asked for it!!!! It was so damn hard last week!!! I wasn't getting into ketosis (got there now tho) my hormones were going crazy, found out my night shift partner at work has been promoted to head of department and will be working 9 -5 (happy for him but gonna miss working with him)...

Shhhhhhhhh I know you feel like poop at the moment, but try not to be too hard on yourself and get stuck in a negative spiral that just ends up in a binge. I have fallen off the band wagon enough times to know how it goes.Take a deep breath, push the guilt away and focus on the positive step you...

How you getting on dream? it's all a bit quiet.

Hi, I couldn't function on day 2, I was such a mess and questioning if it was worth it. IT IS! I lost 11lbs that week, chin up.

Support is why we are here, it's also nice to help out a fellow CWPer x My cdc tracey really is great, always available and always supportive. Hmmmmm maybe that could be a new thread, rate your cdc? Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

My cdc said it could just be the concentration of all the vits and minerals, she suggested you have a glass of water before each product and then make sure you sip it really slowly. I had a problem with my tummy first time round and switched to six meals a day by only having half a product at a...

I shall text my consultant and ask. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

well done for staying on track! you could have easily used all that stress as an excuse to drop the diet and pig out. You can rock this diet!!

hello dreamchaser! thanks and I hope you're feeling better, sounds like you are bringing up bile, was the fluid yellow? the dream body sounds like a good idea, visualization can be a powerful tool. Consider it stolen haha. I'm not surprised your GP told you to stop, they have to be cautious...

Hi dream, hope you had a good 100% day. I have a question about dream body, is it the diet pill or some motivational tool? Not sure the green tea would work for me cos all tea makes me gag, but thanks for the suggestion. My day/night (gotta love shifts) has been a mixed bag. Negative stuff...

senakot is my best friend on this diet, it can be your BF too with a quick pop to the shops. ha tmi.

well done Ian, it's nice to feel in control of what you put in your mouth. keep up the good work.:clap:

Hi Lisa, well done on taking things in hand and starting your CD journey, I'm sure you will enjoy success. Like you I have mostly kept the diet to myself with the exception of husband and BFF. I think most of us here have an unhealty relationship with food but like you are ready to fight the...

bump, lets read some good news.

P.S I don't remember feeling heavy and full last time but I will let you know if that changes this time :)

Hi dreamchaser, thanks for the congrats and support. Sorry it took so long to get back to you I work shifts so I tend to drop off the face of the planet from time to time. I don't have a huge amount to lose, probably aim for 18lbs so I have some wriggle room. The first time I tried CD it took me...

Hi everyone, I am a CD returner, I lost 15lbs for my wedding last month and managed to get into a size 10 dress (woo) since then I have managed to put ALL of the weight I lost back on plus 1lb (I'm not gonna lie, I enjoyed every lb). However this cannot go on and I am going to stop mucking about...
