Stick with it! You'll kick yourself if you give in now and forever struggle to get to your goal weight. Well done for what you have achieved so far, but this chapter has not come to an end yet.

Thank you.

Thanks for all the encouragement. Today is Day 10 and I got weighed for the first time. Lost 8lbs, but I thought it would be more - was aiming for 10lbs loss. I know I should not be moaning about it because I would never have lost that amount on WW or SW. It's also funny how my weight on...

Thanks All. Lass321, I am not on the skimmed milk option. I think it was because I was bored - usually I would have nipped out and bought loads of rubbish food and ate it for entertainment! Now I need to sit and deal with my boredom in some other way.

Thank you

I am Day 6 (100% and SS), but starving!!! Can't stop thinking about food! I feel so hungry. I thought once in ketosis this did not happen. Have drunk 3 litres of water today and can't drink anymore, otherwise I will be sleeping on the toilet! Anyone else experience this and can I expect to...

This is Day 3 for me and have been shivering since Day 1. Spent the last two days at home lots of layers on, dressing gown, full temperature central heating, blanket AND hot water bottle!! Today is my first day out of the house since I started and I am extremely grateful to be sitting under...

Just coming to the end of my second week (weigh-in tomorrow). Last week bought some of the meals - Chilli Con Carne; Shepherds Pie and Pasta Carbonara. They were all disgusting! The Chilli smelt ungodly, the texture of the Shepherds Pie was weird and the Pasta was just, well, wrong!! Sticking...

Miss Piggy - looking at the weight you have lost to date - you can obviously do this. Don't beat yourself up over the food you ate today. You have not killed anyone! Tomorrow is a new day. That is what I am saying to myself tonight. :) Keep smiling

Thank you ladies. Feel so much happier now.

Just thought I would share my new approach with everyone and it might be useful to those who are struggling. I decided about 2 weeks ago not to let CD run my life. I was so miserable, hating not being able to eat what I wanted. Then I decided to take a deep long breath and RELAX! I looked at...

Thanks Isis. Had a real good talk with myself yesterday. I asked myself what it is I wanted and what I had to do to achieve my goal. My decision? To stick to this plan 100% this week. Prove to myself that I can do this, that CD is NOT bigger or more powerful than me. I am tired of being...

Got them today from Boots - cost £6. Will test on Wednesday. Feeling good - almost had all my water - minimum today 2.25l, not my usual amount of 3l or over, but will have to do. Having my third shake now - delicious Chocolate Mint. Going strong today...

COUNT ME IN... Want to lose around 14 pounds - would like to be at lower end of 15 stone range or better still high end 14 stone range by end of year.

Where can you buy Ketostix from? The chemist on the shelf or over the counter?

DAY 14 NOW So, I have managed two weeks. My weight loss has not been spectacular - only 5 lbs so far. I pushed it too far with SS+ this week, so thinking I will SS for this week to definitely get back into ketosis - don't think I am at the moment. I am happy about my stomach looking...

No number 2 today :sigh: Better luck tomorrow!

This is day 3 of SS+ and Day 10 of CD. I am so bloated today - my stomach is poking back out again! Has this happened to others on SS+? I haven't managed all my water today for the first time on 10 days - too busy. Could this be the case? Will try to get another litre in before midnight!

Thanks guys. This week I am hoping that CD does not dominate every single thought I have like it did during my first week! Will just relax have my three shakes/soups and my green and white meals. Today picked up some broccoli and cheese soup - YUCK, YUCK, YUCK....still spitting it out and...

feeling good - lost 5lbs in my first week. I know it is not a huge loss compared to others losses, but I am pleased. I am aiming to lose 3 to 4lbs a week from now on. With SS+ there should be no trip-ups.

Thanks guys - feeling so much happier now I have made the decision.

OK - made a decision - will SS+ from tomorrow. Can't keep feeling so crap.

Have been ss'ing for 5 days and feeling quite miserable - today I just had to chew something so had some tuna. Have just read up about ss+ and will start this properly tomorrow. Hope this will make me feel better. I am glad I read this thread - it has cemented my decision. C

OK - whinging has given into me EATING!!!! Had a can of tuna - and feel so much better. Not advocating this - but I feel happier. Have had almost 4.5l today so hoping that will wash the sins away!!!! Today being off sick and trying to do this has been so difficult. Roll on tomorrow - should...

OMG - I wish I could just stop whinging - but this is killing me! Tired of going to bed early to avoid the starving feeling. Just want to get to Sunday weigh-in and hopefully will be motivated to keep going. I suppose I am not helping myself by watching "Come Dine with Me"!!!!!:p

What keeps me going is buying some fabulous nipped-in the waist black suit and killer black heels to wear at interviews. I just want to feel confident in myself again (and soon)!

I am with you with taking each day/each hour as it comes. The one good thing about today and being stuck at home is drinking lots of water. Have had 3 litres already and all the running back and forth from the loo must count as cardio exercise surely???

Thank you for that. Will just keep on going - I won't give up.

My parents, sister, boyfriend and good friend from work know I am doing CC. My parents and sister are all behind me - they just want me to be happy. My boyfriend and good friend also want me to be happy, but are scared about the effects and have said they are not happy with me doing this...

Now Day 5 and I am officially sick and off work today. Don't feel like eating anything anyway - so no chance I will stray. Just resting and drinking water. thanks for the encouragement.

God this is hard! I feel so low today. Can't face another food pack and constantly thinking of food, smelling food. I have almost had 3 litres of water to stop me from eating something I shouldn't. I am also coming down with some bug and that isn't helping - my throat and ears hurt and I...

Hello everyone, I collected my packs this afternoon and I start first thing tomorrow morning. I have done CD before, but not very well. This time I am very determined. It also helps that I am not part of a group so my willpower will not be tested by others telling me how they cheated. Looking...
