Yeah!! Great results! Well done :o

:-) Good Luck KellyM I hope the weigh in go's well.

Maybe You could also consider telling the CDC that you want to go up a plan or two, therefore not needing as many shakes from them and then also ordering a longer supply at one go? My old CDC would have let me order 4 weeks work on the 2 packs a day - 1000 cals I think?

Products I did CD before and really liked the Banana and Butterscotch shakes. I ordered a selection of S&S products and other than the Red berry one lacking a bit of flavour, the caramel and banana varients are nice. I tried the Spag bol tonight and it was small(!!), a bit like a cross...

Impressed so far! I have just started S&S and have been impressed with the service and products. I previously did CD, but the cost of the products made it impossible to do again. I was worried that S&S products being cheaper would not be as nice, but the things I have had so far are lovely...

New to S&S I previously did CD and was worried about the shakes. I tried Banana and Caramel and thought they were lovely. The red fruits is okay, but for me could do with a bit more fruit flavour. Good so far though. I ordered other bits but haven't tried them yet. Good luck to all on...

Hi Lyndzy It DOES get easier when you are in Ketosis, stick with it as the results are more than worth it. If I get hungry I have water, if that fails I have a Coke Zero (not advised by all CDC's - but mine had said it was fine and it doesn't affect my ketosis)or coffee with a splash of milk...

Good luck :)on your continued weight loss journey Natty

All the best Rhiana The team does seem to have ground to a halt. I hope your journey goes well, you have done great so far. xx Well done Clare, I have given up the diet completely after the car was diagnosed with a terminal fault 10 days ago and the garage said it wont pass the mot. We...

Well done Rhiana, hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weather.:D :D

Well done Claire I know what you mean on the time front! I have been so busy at work, and my little girl is getting up about 4am....that we are running on autopilot at the minute. I had a bump in the car last week, so have eaten like a pig with the stress of waiting for the guy to ring with...

Hi All Great losses girls. Just got back form my break away...according to scales I am a couple of lbs heavier. I am not too worried as I feel very bloated as my water intake has been very low.

Yeah! Great result Alexmummy. Good luck Nattyw. Whatever diet path you take, I hope you reach your goal. I am off for a Family get together on Friday, so wont be about until the end of next week. :D

Well done Rhiana You haven't gained anything so thats bonus. You have some great losses, so its just one of those weeks. Keep going. ;) Hope you are doing okay too Alexmummy. xx

There is always a way Alexmummy Dont give up, keep your chin up. I know what a pain it can all be when things are tight. hubby wrote our car off last year...5 days into the new year. The insurance company gave us less than we owed, so we had to resort to buying a "cheap and cheerful one"...

Hi guys OMG Rhiana there are some bloody strange people about. Great news about the police getting so involved though. It may be time for me to leave the team as I am not really CD'ing anymore. I have been having the shake for breakfast but then low GI healthy meals for the rest of the day...

I'd certainly rather... stay the same than gain! I am hoping the change of diet makes a change by Friday. Heres to a good weekend with lovely weather!

An expected result no loss for me this week. Hope everyone is doing well.:D

It has done me a favour in an odd sort of way! It has focused me more to make sure what I eat is healthy. Once the cough subsides, I will get back on the bike too. :DAnyway, good luck to all this week.

Hi Alexmummy I had four days trying SS again, but the scales didn't move. I have now resorted to shake for breakfast then a low GI diet for some days, others I have a soup and then a low GI tea, but my plan is to make a final decision next week. My CDC has given me 3 weeks worth of stuff as...

Evening Hi Natty, I drank a can of Coke Zero most days whilst SSing after my CDC said I could! It didn't seem to affect my weight loss at all, it did feel like you were having a bit of a treat! Hope things settle down for you soon Lots to Lose. ;)

Thanks Claire & Natty I can cope with the weight not changing every now and again and to be fair, this weeks is my fault as I had a bad day or two after the negative response from the CDC last week. But I can't help thinking that if my weight stays the same a lot, that its a lot of money for...

Hi Guys Hope you are doing well..I have not lost anything this week. I am dropping to 1-2 packs a day for 3 weeks and then will make a decision whether to pack it in completely. As soon as I know which way it is going I will let you know. I have been so disillusioned with the lack of...

Hi Natty It is 3 meals. For some people, if they do the 810 and stay in Ketosis its as good as SS. I had a problem losing weight when taking cough mixture and lemsips...it definately made a major difference with me...but if you are unwell you are better getting yourself sorted and your...

Great results guys And a terrific result Shlinz....what a great start. xx:D

Thanks Rhiana I have spoken to another CDC and she also would not permit me to do anything other than SS until I had lost another 2.5 stone minimum at 4 packs a day! What I want to do is irrelevant! Nice! I shall not give up! If it comes to it I shall order products from my CDC, so at...

Super Achievement! Great results Lotstolose. You are an inspiration to us all! I have I lost 5lb this week. I am going to look for a new CDC as she does not offer support that anything other than SS as the way forward. I have had to take flavours of products that I'm not keen on as she...

Yeah...great results Hope your weekend goes okay Alexmummy. I have WI tomorrow am, so will post later in the day. Stats are up to date. Although I have been SS'ing again this week, I am thinking of going up a plan again as my palpatations have returned occasionally, but I will run this past...

Hi folks It sounds like we are going to do well this week. Results have to be posted by Sunday pm latest, but can be between Thursday pm - Sunday. I will post my results on Friday night latest. I am FINALLY back in ketosis so hopefully will have better results! It will be good if we can do...

Well done guys Great results

Hi Everyone I would like to lose 20lb by the end of June if possible. (7 weeks). I have been on SS for 3 days now, but Ketostix show nothing at mo. I had a headache yesterday so expected them to show ketosis today, but to get rid of the extra carbs from the 1000 plan must be taking longer...

Hi Thanks Slintz, I have found it harder trying to get my head around it again....more so now than at Christmas, as at that point I still had a long way to go...I think a lot is about having the willpower and desire to get to the way you want to look...the further that is away, the more...

A challenge to get 2 stone off SS by end of June? Hi Claire, Fancy a mini challenge for both of us to get SS working again. Its so bloomin' frustrating to be so close, yet so far. I think for me, because I am now in much smaller clothes I lost momentum when I upped to the 810/1000 cal...

Hi new team mates! Hi Shlinz and Rhiana, Welcome to Team 1. Just to give you a brief overview of my journey so far. I started CD SS last October and had lost about 4 stone by Christmas. I then did my AAMW over Chsristmas and New year and have just short of another 2 stone since. I have...

Advert has gone on for three new bods....lets see what response we get back! Bring on the full team!!!:D:D:D:D If I can get organised this weekend and my little spotty lotty allows, I will get my pictures of my journey so far added to my profile! (and get the rest of it updated!!)

Team 1 - Looking for three new members Just pop in and say hello!! http://www.minimins.com/cd-teams/63665-team-1-leahs-lightweights-offical-thread.html

Alexmummy for Team Leader!!!! If you do Team Leader and I can deputise in the event that you have too much on...just give me a shout if you need assistance.???? The calcs seem pretty straight forward. I will stick an advert on for three more bods and see if we get takers as we could do with...

Three is a good start! If you want to be Team Leader Claire but want to get the assigments done first, I can run with the figures until you are ready? I have pm'd Irene and she will support us if we want to do the figures then run them past her before posting...so thats good. We need to get a...

Found these Rules for CD Teams Each team has 6 members, one of whom is the designated team leader. Each member weighs weekly and submits results to the team leader. Team leader submits weekly team % result and biggest loser result between Thurs and Sun either on the weekly thread or by pm...

Probably have to Maybe if we dont have a volunteer for Team Leader we could advertise for one of those too? How many are supposed to be in the team? I think if the Chuck pox comes out overnight its a little easier, its taken a full week for Ems' spots to come out. I have had to use my...

I would struggle to commit the time to be Team leader too. I am not even sure who is still in the team? We are having lots of disrupted sleep with the chuck pox at the mo....I can't believe the spots are still coming out after 7 days.Nursery won't accept her until 7 days after the last...

Ohhhh No! What is happening to everybody? IT will be a real shame if the team gives in!! Well done Claire, I have not had chance to see CDC after my little one caught Chicken Pox over the weekend, its a bit of a nightmare at the mo...added with a paranoia with itching as I have not had...

Hi Alexmummy Its a bit daunting thinking about food again, I am having between 900 - 1100 cals a day. I dont weight myself now as I find I can vary by as much as 4lb in a day. I did lose the plot a little for a few days, but then got sorted again, but it is nice being able to go for lunch and...

Glad to see you back Susan Hope you are better. I am still here!

Made up for last week! 3lbs off for me this week. hope everyone is doing well.:D

Hi guys Well done Lots to lose. I had a really dissapointing week this week. I gained 1lb after doing the 1000 cals. I am not sure whether this is my body getting used to the extra food or a mis-calc on my behalf. Will ask CDC on friday. :eek: Hope ur doing well Susan.

Well done guys How has everyone done over Easter? Hope the hospital goes well Susan hope its nothing too serious. :cool:

Well done guys. -1lb for me this week. My CDC has suggested I follow the 1000 cal plan, so will get Easter out the way and then see how it goes.

-2lbs 2lb off for me this week.

Yeah! Well done girls, Super results. I have had WI postponed until monday, but my scales are showing no change. I have been stuggling recently..during the day I am fine, but on a night its a struggle. I am going to see what CDC suggests. :(

Well done girls. -2lb for me. I am having a day for Mothers day, so will be very good next week. :)

Thanks Emma & Alex If I can get myself organised enough, I may put some piccies on at the weekend of my CD journey so far. I have just bought a bike from work on a cycle to work scheme, so will be cycling 12 miles a day for 3 days a week..assuming I can get that far! With that and getting...

STS No loss for me this week...STS. I have been taking throat lozenges which are stuffed full of carbs/sugar...so can't complain really. I am hoping for a better result next week

Yeah! Super results ladies. Well done Oisin, you are so close to the 100lb mark, how much more are you wanting to lose?

This weeks WI -2lbs for me this week.

Sorry folks... Only got back from my 4 day walking hol this morning. WI moved to tomorrow from Friday, so will let you know then. I don't expect much as I have had an evening meal whilst away and the odd "treat" , but we walked 27 miles so will have burnt some of it off hopefully! I start...

great result alexmummy You are well on target! :D Well done with the assignment too.

Welcome Gem I too had lots to lose...I still have a little way to go, but is sooooo good once it starts to come off and people notice. It makes the "hard" days all worth while. Good luck...You can do it! :D

Oops... Forgot about the WI bit! A dissapointing -1lb. But extra incentive to do better this week! :mad:

I Need to try harder! Well done Alexmummy - great result. I have been doing slightly better with the water but have had a course on Anti-biotics, to be taken with FOOD! I have been trying to keep to the 810 /1000 cal food to keep it to a minimum but aren't expecting miracles for WI later...

Great losses Hi Girls, you are all doing really well. I am having good and bad days still with the water....Some days it just seems to be a struggle. I think its worse when I am at work, the water warms up as the day goes on...but as we have no way of keeping it cool, there's not a lot of...

Hi Girls 3lb off this week. The walking must have made a difference!

Such a transformation Susan.. Cute Pup! Is is a Rotty? I have just looked at your pics, they show such a great change. Well done you! Do you now follow a specified diet plan now? You are very brave doing your first ones in the smalls!! I think I would have been stricter on the diet had I...

Super result Great losses team. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Great losses team. Hi all, Not been about much as I have had a friend to visit for a few days. It was the first time she had seen me since I started the diet, and she was quite shocked at the change!! Been for WI. 3lb loss for me this week. I am hoping next weeks is okay, as I have had a...

Super Achievement! Well done Oisin, great way to restart.:D I have no WI today. My CDC has asked me to change to a Friday, so will not get WI until the end of the week.

:D Well done Cardiffgirl - great results.

Welcome Emma. I hope week one passes quickly and the results are good.:D Good luck & Welcome. Hope everyone else is doing well.;)

Not sure... :confused:I met a post CD'er yesterday that told me that she had a few mugs of bouillon or stock cubes (not oxo) in hot water when it was cold as she couldn't cope with cold water.:confused: She also made a stock using a stock cube a a few bits of veg and then strained it. To...

Phew... just managed it...lost another 2lbs this week. Well done all, there have been some amazing losses.

Well done Cardiffgirl You have done the hard bit, It should get easier from tomorrow. I lost 2lb this week. I have found it really hard to drink the water whilst it is soooo colddddd. But a loss is a loss...so hopefully will do better this week. :)

Super result Well done Alexmummy...keep it going and then bring on that hol!!:) I never got to WI again, route to CDC too dodgy for me!! so am going tomorrow.

Sorry folks... No WI for me tonight, the weather has beaten me! I am hoping to reschedule for tomorrow/Wednesday weather permitting!! Will let you know tomorrow.:cool:

H'loo Welcome and Good luck Cardiffgirl. Best Wishes to Miss Piggy, I hope all goes well and you can get on track with Cd or another diet soon.

Hi All Well done everyone. Went to WI yesterday. No loss for me this week - sts. I was expecting it as I had been dashing around all week and did deviate a little. The banana's aren't helping much either! I have ditched the banana's and gone to 4 packs, so hopefully it will kick start the...

Same problem I am the same this week, the scales haven't moved since Monday!:confused: I have had terrible hormonal urges to nibble for two days, so instead of the banana a day I have had a meal, but today had a few spoons of my daughters dessert too. Usually I have a cup of coffee if I...

Stay with it Tomorrow is another day.....get the WI organised then at least that may push you to break away from any non CD things. Okay, whether you have lost weight or not....just push harder for the next week and put WI and put it behind you. You CAN do it.

Hello all The water is a pain on cold days. I am not expecting much at Mondays WI, I have bad water retention, partly because of a cold bug, so unless it rapidly improves it may not be brill, I have two chances! Bring on the summer,salads and slinky dresses! I am off to Nottingham on...

Dont panic Alexmummy A loss is a loss!! I know its hard not to be dissapointed...but you will have lost inches....so dig deep and persevere.;) Get that tape measure out! Good luck for the next week.

Updated mine too! @@January 2009 - Mini Challenge 5th Jan-5th Feb@@ Alexmummy07--------21lbs (lost 6.75 lbs so far) Angel1974------------14lbs (lost 9lbs so far) angie-bum-------------12lbs (lost 6lb so far) Babybaillie------------20lbs berryred----------------15lb (lost 3lbs so far)...

Hi All 5lbs off for me this week

Back from WI Another 5lb off for me this week. Aiming for 4lb next week to pass the 5 stone barrier. I have given up the banana and am now having a salad for the extra potassium, but will increase to 4 packs/per day from next week I think.

Well done to all Another 5lb off for me. Bunnyg: Start 299lb, target 199lb - 95lb to go ChoppyGirl: Start 258, target 158 - 84lb to go soontobelittlegem: Start 264, target 161 - 53lbs to go :D Imac Start 276lbs,target 132 -73 to go :) Wizzbang 100lb challenge 100 to go (-6...

yeah! Great result guys.....lets see if we can do the same or better this week! Good luck! ;)

Hi Guys Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for the congrats.:D Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Susan.:wave_cry: I hope we do well with the team weight loss. I am going to be back on just SS once I get more packs on Monday night. I can ditch the food and use the packs instead...

Hi all Hope everyone is doing well. Yipee...I managed to pass the Drving test today....so relieved! To celebrate I am off out for lunch to have a chargrilled chicken salad, in place of the banana....I have only had one, but I hate them! So I should get the extra potassium from the meat and...

:) Thanks

Thanks The daft thing is...i feel okay, a little tired, but I am full of cold too. I have been reading about other foods that contain potassium, but have realised that if I increase back to 4 CD packs a day that I will be having more than the 3g a day. I started off on 4 but then dropped to 3...

Hi All :wave_cry: Sorry not been around for a few days. I had been feeling poorly and have been diagnosed as having palpitations so had to give up the diet and return to "normal food" for 3 days 'till I got in for an MOT with the doc. Today I have been given the okay to continue with the...

Well done Great loss Alexmummy, great loss. Yeah!!!! :D

Congrats There have been some super losses. Keep up the good work! :D:D 6 lbs off for me, 8lb loss in total. 6lbs to go!

Well done Hazey blue, great loss, congrats keep it up.:D:D:D 6lb loss for me this week.

Hi All Just got back from WI. 6lb lost for me. Well done to those that have lost...and good luck to those waiting for WI ! I too have a little one(not quite so little now) who has just turned two. The terrible twos are just starting in small amounts, but she isn't too bad! I am...

Hi All Welcome Becs Here's to a really good week, Lets have some good weigh ins! Good luck to all! :D:D:D:D

Measurements Totally agree with the measurement bit. I didn't lose much over Christmas, but have lost quite a lot of inches instead. I had dropped another dress size without realising it!! With the Ketostix it may be worth doing one before exercising then maybe doing another half an hour...

Ketosis To see whether there is a difference with the exercise, you could always get some Ketostix?

WI day I drink more earlier, but have two of my packs, again earlier than normal. Then have the last 1/2 ltr of water and pack when I get home again. It proably only makes a 1lb difference, but I have done the same every week.

It will be okay I wouldn't panic too much. I get weighed anywhere between 6.30 - 8pm. I drink more of my water earlier, so hopefully it has gone by nightime! Yes it makes a slight difference, but not a lot...its all relative if you get weighed at the same time each week, it balances itself...

Also have wii and Wii fit, I use mine for about 40 mins every other day and my weight loss has been fine and I am toning up. I can weight 6lb heavier at the end of the day to the beginning! I was horrified till I realised that it had gone again by the next morning! My CDC told me it was...

Wii Fun! Both my friend at 53 and Parents have got hooked then gone out and got one! It is totally different from a games console. Great for families too!

Wii Fit I got a Wii and Wii fit just before Christmas. I have been using it a minimum of 40 minutes every other day and it has certainly toned me up. I have had to resort to doing things left handed to tone both arms! You can protect your info using a pin No, but unless someone logs in as...

Super Achievement! I have just looked at your pics and your tranformation is superb...you look so much younger. I don't understand why being fat makes us look older! Its really nice having someone in the Team that has lost a lot....inspiration for me to carry on and do the same! I'm not too...

Hair Has anyone noticed an increase in hair loss on this diet...and does anybody know at what point it returns to normal? Its not coming out in clumps or anything, but there is definately a little more coming out than normal!!

Hi Folks Yipeee!! Its good to be on a Team....extra motivation! I was starting to panic that I had stopped losing weight after Christmas...but I must have used up the stash of carbs etc as I have started losing again! Oh, forgot to add...WI day is Monday

Hi Guys Are you still looking for new members? I am looking to join a team...I have been doing CD for 13 weeks now, but still have a fair bit to go!

First WI -2lbs for me...must try harder with the exercise week!

Hi All - 2lbs at last WI Hope everyone is back into CDing after Christmas. : Start 299lb, target 199lb - 95lb to go ChoppyGirl: Start 258, target 158 - 84lb to go soontobelittlegem: Start 264, target 161 - 58lbs to go :D Imac Start 276lbs,target 132 -73 to go :) Wizzbang 100lb challenge 100...

AAMW Its nice eating food again, but I found it difficult to return to SS again...the temptation to add little bits to soups etc was a nightmare. Think I have got it sussed again now!

Congrats Emmie great start for the New Year

AAMW Hi Loiusa, Add a meal week has to be done every 12 weeks minimum to "recharge" your body I believe. I bought mine forward a week or so as I was eating at Christmas/New year anyway. So for a week you have one meal from the SS+ list in the book.

Its good to have a challenge Good luck to all

Thanks I will hope that things change in the next week.

I'd like to lose a stone by 5th Feb Not had WI yet, so will post when I have. Good luck to all

Has anyone got any ideas? I did my Add a meal week last week, since finishing it and returning to SS my weight has stayed exactly the same. Has anyone got any ideas to kick start it again?

Another 2 lb loss for me It was AAMW for me so not to disapointed, but finding getting back in to it harder after food for a week! Bunnyg: Start 299lb, target 199lb - 95lb to go ChoppyGirl: Start 258, target 158 - 84lb to go soontobelittlegem: Start 264, target 161 - 60lbs to go :D Imac Start...

Hi All. -2lbs for me. (AAMW)

Thanks... I managed to avoid headaches etc as I drank lots of water - probably 3 - 4 ltrs over the first few days...so had no side effects at all. I had convinced myself there would be some....but nothing, no side effects what so ever! My CDC had said a lot of headaches were due to...

Good luck for tomorrow And just remember this is the first day of your journey to change your life forever! I also wanted to lose quite a lot of weight, but 11 weeks in even I am suprised how much smaller I am...The struggles are now all worth it! :D:D

Welcome Welcome to all newbies. Its not all easy, but If you can get through the first few days it will all seem worth while. Once the llbs start coming off it is all worth effort!! :DGood luck to all in 2009.:D

Brain needs to improve! I thought I had posted my last WI results from Monday...but can't find them! 4 lb loss for me. Well done to everyone who has managed a STS or loss over Christmas. Lets make 2009 a good one!:):D:):D:) Good luck to all CD'ers in 2009!!:D:D:D

Well done Nice result Gem, especially with Christmas too!

Hi Gem. Hi Chick, I think my figures are out somewhere! I a not sure whether I have posted all of them or not, but total remaining should be 45lb as I have lost 55 so far.

I have been suffering from a really bad cold and have been avoiding cold/flu medicines in case it affects the diet. However, I have a really annoying cold so have taken some Cough syrup, I am sure this will affect the diet with the glucose, but not sure how much? Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Folks Over half way there now after a 6lb loss this week.

Helloooooo Another 6lb loss for me this week folks.

Hi All Sorry, not been posting due to a grotty cold. This weeks WI - 6lb

8lbs to go Another 2lbs off for me this week, 8lb to go....and I am doing AAMW at Christmas, so hopefully will shif the 8lb before then!?:8855:

Hi All Another 2lbs off for me. Hope everyone is doing well.

Must do better! Hi all, Another -2lb for me this week, not too bad considering I have had 2 small meals and been full of cold! Hopefully next week will be better.

Can you count me in too! I would like to lose a stone (minimum) in December. I had my first Dec WI this week and it was -7lbs. Ideally, I would ideally like to lose another 10lb to get to 4st by the end of Dec, but am doing an AAMW over Christmas, and have two Christmas lunches, so not...

Well done everyone!! Hope all get good losses this week. :):D:)

Oops, forgot to post! Well done to everyone who has lost this week. My weight loss for this week -7lb. Feeling really determined to reach the 4st mark by the end of the year! Stay with it Yasmine, you CAN do it.:)

:D - 7lbs for me.

Well done Gem... Absolutely super result. An inspiration to us all! :D:D:D:D

Keep your chin up. Hi Yas, You had to report it....if they don't learn that bullying is not acceptable then they will not stop... Okay so you ate a few things you regret, but considering the circumstances, I wouldn't kick yourself too hard! You had a bad day, but tomorrow is another day...

Forgot to add.. Went to Wi and lost 3lb.

Well done all! My WI results for this week is - 3lb. Determined to lose a little more next week!

Hi All ! Just returned from WI, lost 3lb this week .:sigh: I had chocolate bars last week and I'm not sure they are for me :confused:! The two weeks I have had them, the weight loss has slowed down, not sure why, or whether its coincidence...so not having them again! :confused: Bring on...

Thanks Kelly Glad to see you are all doing well and welcome to the newbies, I still check how the team is doing as often as I can. Keep up the good work. ;)

Super result Gem, Especially with the added pressure of the move too.

Well done all! Congrats to all posting losses this week. Especially "top loser" Pound Princess, super start. Welcome back Yasmine-Samara. Good luck to all in the next week ahead, lets try for super losses prior to Christmas! ;)

Hi Guys Sorry guys, but its time for me to leave the team. With the limitations with the PC and a very busy schedule from now till Christmas. I am finding it really difficult to find the time to support the Team. I hope you all do well. :wave_cry:

Well done Downesy. I am dreading Mondays WI as so far the scales are the same as last week.:eek:(now 5 days since). I haven't been bad, have drunk more and exercised, so don't understand why..fingers crossed I lose the 3lb for Nov target by Monday! Its a blooming good job my WI night was...

remorse remorse

Hu Guys I'll stay and post when I can. I can read posts at work, but can't post without getting shot!

Well done.. Well done Gem,:D Thanks Jayne23... As far as coping with the cold water...I now live in a collection of big thick jumpers (including in bed), and 2 T-shirts, which is helping big time with the CD coldness!:eek: I find that if I set up 6 - 8 small (50cl) bottles of water in the...

?? Really not sure, other than I have increased the water to 4 ltrs a day, all of which is fridge cold or iced. (I had been told that the body has to burn cals to heat it up!) Also, although I can have had 4 packs a day, I had only been having 3 most days last week. This week I had 4 most...

Thanks Guys for the info I think is easy to assume that a small meal = a shake/soup.

I will only be able to post once or twice a week So until we have another PC, postings will be few and far between - It just depends on whose Pc I can gatecrash!

Hi All ! Hope u r all doing well.:giggle: :giggle:I'd like to update my progress having just returned from this weeks WI.:giggle: :character00100:-8lbs for me.:character00100:

Its funny... ...If this was any other diet, I am sure we would be happy with a 3lb loss!! I was sooooo disapointed last week with 3lb, but bounced back with an 8lb loss this week. Much happier!! But to be fair a 3lb loss is still bloomin' good!:D:D SO well done DOWNESY!

Hi Everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. A special Hi to all the newbies! I have just got back form WI and I have a 8lb loss this week. It amazed even me! and has made me very determined to hit the 3 stone total by next WI. :D:D:D:D:D

Hi Chaps! Hope everyone is well. I have been struggling to post since the home laptop died, so it may be better if I give up the team as I cannot post on a regular basis. I will still post my losses on the other forums, but at least that will only be once a week I managed an 8lb loss...

Superb result Wannabslim Congrats on a superb loss this week. :D

Hi Glitterbabe Don't worry about the diet, just get yourself well. We will still be here if or when you are ready to restart your CD journey again. Keep in touch! xx :D:D

Hi KD and all I totally agree..that if someone is putting their health at risk, that its needs correcting before any damage is done.. I am sure Kelly was trying to make sure Glitterbabe is going in the right direction and I'm sure she will be! Change of subject now....lets concentrate on...

Welcome! Hi Moanz, Welcome to the CD. Its because of your height. I am also on 4 packs a day and have been on it for 4 weeks now. I do have occasional days where I only have 3 packs, or may even have 3 1/2 some days. I tend not to eat the Choccy bars in one go, but divide them into two...

Support needed... r.e Glitterbabe post/reply Hi, Can I just start by saying that we should be offering support to each other not criticising the differences others have on the CD ss/ss+. I appreciate that there are CDC's that offer differing advice, however, Glitterbabes’ CDC clearly...

Hi,:confused: Can a CDC please give us some info on the potential problems (if there are any) of missing packs when eating a small meal. If someone occasionally eats some protein and a small salad, is it acceptable to omit one of the packs to compensate for the extra cals etc? What is the...

Well done Gem. Amazing loss 1 week into the Nov challenge. :):):)

Can you amend my figures please? Hi, My last loss of 3lb has registered, but the 6lb loss from the week doesn't appear to have been included. My loss for my first 4 weeks should be 29lb. (71 to go). Thx

Wii/ Wii fit I have done 40 minutes on the Wii and Wii fit tonight.....I ache already from some over zealous tennis! I was quite pleased though as it said by weight was 5lb down on last weekend! It will be even better if Santa is nice and gets me one for Christmas, then I can do more...

Well done GB I think thats a really good demonstation of willpower working with the food, but managing to abstain! Make sure you have your last pack....or else you'll get told off like I did!! :D

repeat

Thanks for the support Wannabslim I think its because I had set my sights on a min of 4lb. I was fed up yesterday, but am going to try extra hard with the water and go a little bit on the exercise bike and Wii fit later. Hopefully it will make a little bit more of a difference next week...

Thanks Guys..... Its great to be part of the team. I have booked my driving test today also, so I have a busy few weeks coming up...but will definately be a lot thinner by 2009! I will be taking my photo's again this weekend so I have a "1 month progress". I am going to wear the same outfit...

Thanks Guys I think its mainly a dissapointment because my first three were much better!

Lucky you! I had a go on a Wii fit last week, I thought it was ace. I am hoping Santa get me one with the Wii for Christmas! I am not sure how the bike will go, but I'll try it for a bit and see how I feel! :D :D I have also increased by...

Hi Folks Just had next weigh in. I am slightly dissapointed that it wasn't a little more. But 3lb loss it is for this week. Will get on the exercise bike starting tomorrow.

Thanks Chick I think I feel worse as I thought it would be 4lb. I know its a bit stupid when its only a lb less, but I desperately want to lose another stone by the end of Nov/2 st by Xmas. At 3lb a week I won't quite make it. :D Gives me an incentive to get my arse on the exercise bike...

First Nov WI First weigh in for the month was a 3lb loss. Not quite what I hoped for, but I have increased the water intake to see if it makes a difference. :( :( :(

Week 4 WI Just had WI, A little bit dissapointed at 3lb loss. :mad:

A little dissapointed Just had weigh in - 3lb loss this week. A little bit of a let down after the last couple. :(

Well done Well done K, I am dreading my WI later this evening. I wish I could do a first thing in the morning weigh in instead! Hope every one elses WI's go well.

Good luck with the weight loss, whatever method you use. Hi Lins, :party0011::party0011::party0011: I am sure it was difficult when trying to juggle everything else. Okay, you tried and it wasn't right for you at this moment of time. I hope the Slimming world works for you again. I am sure...

Okay Will make sure the Cd packs stay the same in future...it probably explains why I felt really tired at the end of the day.

Might be bettter If I can bring it forward, it may be a better way of doing it seems as how I will be eating for 3 of the days anyway.

Didn't realise! Just thought I had to compensate for having the food!

Yeah, I like the sound of that! Yeah, I like the sound of that! I assume it speeds up your metabolism quite a lot in your case? 13 weeks would make mine a couple of weeks into Jan.

Peanut ones are nice Thanks Kellymundy, I had a couple of Peanut ones, but found I craved food after I ate them, although I thought they tasted nice. I am going to have a similar meal to the one I had yesterday for Christmas Day, then repeat it boxing day. Then back on CD 100% until new...

Its sounds like its worth doing... I assume the only thing is that the weight comes off slower during that time? Do you stay in Ketosis?

Hi folks, I am on week 4 of SS and I am confused as to how the AAM week works! I dont know when you have to do it, or whether you have to? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Hi Folks Hope everyone is well. I went out yesterday as part of two work colleagues leaving do. I had talked it through with CDC and had decided to have 2 pieces of white meat, 3 pieces of broc & same of cauli. I didn't eat all the veg as I realised I was full. I sometimes have a can of...

Hi Alison, I hope day two is going well. :D :D

Well done Sue :D Super loss! :)

Good luck and welcome! Hope week 1 goes well. Good luck and keep in touch with your progress. :party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049:

Hi My WI is on a Friday evening. Heres to a great team!! :D :D :D :D :D

Hi ! Looking forward to being part of the team! I am starting week 4 of SS and so far its not been too bad. Was very lucky, no struggles in the first few days, but cooking for hubby and little girl is still a nightmare! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Still looking for members? I am on Wk 4 of SS.

Good luck for WI Hi Tracey, Hope weigh in goes well tomorrow

Hi Tracey Are you sure that your scales weigh the same as the CDC? It may be worth giving your CDC a call tomorrow is things are the same to see of they can suggest anything? Keep going chuck, it has to make a difference. Have you done your measurements?

My meals I started off having the first one at breakfast, then the others at lunch and 6pm ish. I then tried having the first one later...maybe about 12 or 1, but I felt like I was getting bloated and my digestion was slowign down, so went back to having one for breakfast!

Well done Well done Val, I think its a case of not getting into the habit of having the food in case it breaks your willpower. :D :D :D :D Bring on week 4!:D :D :D :D I too am on week 4, had week 3 weigh in last night, but I also have a couple of celebratory meals this week, so I am...

Good luck and welcome! I found it easier than I expected, even the first few days, I drank like a fish to keep the hunger at bay! Just remember that with a little determination, in less than 3 weeks you will notice the difference and it will all be worth it! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hi I do have coke Zero and have done since week 1. ( I am now starting week4) My CDC stated any Zero calorie drink that does not contain CITRIC ACID is okay. Diet coke contains this. I sip one or two cans/bottles a day, especially when I feel the need for something to eat. It hasn't...

determination

Not sure... maybe is depends on things that they thenselves have tried or experienced with their members. I know that my CDC also added 1/2 pt of milk to my SS. I don't usually have all of the milk, but I hate black coffee so I do use a little in my drinks.

thinner

If you just smile.... Hi guys, My CD has said that Coke Zero is acceptable from day 1, infact any pop that is zero calorie and DOES NOT CONTAIN CITRIC ACID. Diet coke is not allowed. I know there is conflicting information on this, but I have certainly found it a help when feeling hungry...

How much water? I found that sipping more water helped with the dizzy spells, my CD told me that its sometimes due to being a little dehydrated. Well done for completing day 1!

Dont panic! My brother in-law went to florida and theme parks for the last few years, he must be around 20 stone and was worried about the same thing. He said that there were a lot of people bigger than him and that he didn't have a problem. :silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:

Well done Docmel Super achievement! Keep it up!! :party0011::party0011::party0011:

Yeah, Well done! Well done to all!!! Especially Dancing Queen for a spectacular loss. :party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049:

Hi Yasmine, Go for it girl!!! I am sure you will make up for your little "blip" last week. I really do think that this diet is all about getting your head sorted, and believe me I have had days where my head is going elsewhere! I've had a couple of hard days this week, especially when...

Hi Chick. Sorry, might of helped if I had given you all the info. Initial target : Lose 100lbs Lost 20, 80lb to go!!

If you just smile.... :):):):):):):):):):):):):) Keep your chin up. We are all human and have weaknesses, just remember that if we didn't we would all be skinny and this forum wouldn't exist! Okay, so you had something you shouldn't, but tomorrow is another day...try to stay positive. It...

Keep your chin up. Even if things are not as you want, just remember that you CAN do this, and it will make you feel better when you start seeing the good results. Don't beat yourself up about it...we are all human. If was easy we would all be thin!:grouphugg:

Stay with it I am sure a lot of people have bad days and cheat occasionally, I think you need to put it behind you and get back on track...it will be SOOOO worth it in the end. :):):):):)

It will be ace to prove them wrong. I have decided today, that the thing to do is use the "negative" comments from some as a form of motivation! They need to be the first people I go see when I have lost the weight and again when I have kept it off! I have worked out today that a work...

To tell, or not to tell! I wish I had told some earlier, but not others! I have some family/friends that have been really supportive, but others that have tried to offer me foods, even though they know the principles of the diet. :mad:

Hi, I am in week 3 of CD and had kept the diet fairly low key. I had decided not to tell anyone that wouldn't notice the lack of food. I decided to tell a few more friends/family today and have been quite shocked by the negative response from some, even though I have a lot to lose is as...

Can I join? Hi Folks, I am on week 2 of SS and have just had my second weigh in. Start 303lb, Week 1 -14 lb Week 2 : - 6lb (Total 20lb lost.) Good luck to everyone. :character00238::character00238::character00238::character00238:

Week 2 SS results. Just had this weeks visit to CDC. Week 2 - 6lbs. Total loss since 10/10/08 -20lb :party0049:

Well done everyone!! Congrats to Yasmin great weight loss and it sounds like you are very determined , and have set a great goal to ensure success! ;)

H20 Hi All, Thanks for the info. Also emailled CDC yesterday, she advised me to up the water intake to ge the toxins out quicker, and also to spread my water out more as I tend to drink lots first and last thing.

Week 2 I was given the option of bars by my CDC this week, so I took 2 types. I definately think they have slowed my weight loss down. I also found they made me crave food, when last week in what should have been the hardest week, I was fine! I won't be bothering next week! Also found the...

Hopefully it will improve. My spots are also around my jawline and my lips are sore/dry, so hopefully its just a blip that will cure itself in the next few days!

Hi Lucienne, I pinched a couple of sticks from a friend to try and they didn't show very pink, but I had a good loss in week 1, so I don't bother with them now. If you are losing Lbs and inches, I wouldn't worry! Mooee

Hi Guys, I am now on week 2 of CD SS. My skin in the last couple of days has become spotty and is becoming dry..has anyone had this as a problem and is there anything I can do to improve my skin? :(

My CD councellor has told me that Zero Coke is okay and any other pop that DOES NOT contain citric acid. So diet Coke is NOT allowed as it does contain this. I haven't got a clue whether i'm on SS or SS+ !! There does seem to be a lot of different views between the councellors.
