    About to fall off the wagon......

    Hiya Loopy, thanks for you comments on my thread! I know exactly how you feel on the toasty cravings but honestly, I've given into them in the past and because your not used to the wheat or the carbs (I'm not sure what it is/was) you tend to feel awful after eating them. It makes you feel...

    Hiya folks, I hope you don't mind, but I felt I could do with a release of pent up stuff.. :wave_cry: It's my weigh in day today and I've lost 1lb, which I'm ok with seen as I had a slight birthday induced cheat. (this isn't realy about that, but I thought I'd add it anyway!) Thing is, last...

    How long for metabolism to return to normal? For CDCs

    Hiya, thanks for that - very interesting! Can I just ask, what sort of price would you have to pay for a personal trainer? coz honestly, if I went to a gym I wouldn't know where to start or what was right for me?
  105. Roosters

    I don't know how, but I did .....

    Hi Nat, Just thought I would sell well done and help you heave those socks up!! I had a slightly naughtly bank hols too and I just noticed we're at similar stages of the diet and guess what?! I'm going on hols in 3 weeks too so I'm offering my support, as my socks are being pulled up too!
  106. Roosters

    How long for metabolism to return to normal? For CDCs

    Just to add to this, How many calories would you go up to? I mean to maintain? I know that the average for a woman is 2000 but could it be less than that? I know that excersise, height and weight will have something to do with it - any thoughts?
  107. Roosters

    ive just cracked and eaten!!! BUT my lord why salad?

    The nicest thing I've cheated with on this diet is a green bean!!!?? I think your body gets used to only having the 'good stuff' since I've been on CD I've totally gone off bread, pasta.. anything like that. I just don't think it's good for me, so my taste buds say noooo
  108. Roosters

    sparkling spring water

    Some people can say it makes your tummy rumble, some people are fine with it! and it's totally allowed so you enjoy it!!

    Why not try putting a 1/4 teaspoon of water flavouring into a litre of water, it makes the water easier to drink, aslo have it warm! Warm water is much nicer

    I know what you mean, it's realy tiring constantly thinking about what you can eat, and how what you have eaten may have affected your scales! I'm with you on getting back on the SS wagon, (so I'll see you in the wagon thread). it's my birthday tomorrow so I'm going to start SSing on Monday...

    Aww Kimmie, I know what you mean.. but 18 lb in week one!! you're off to a flying start!! that's so amazing! Have some water, and make yourself feel full xxxx
  116. Roosters

    Sorry - another ketosis question!!

    Also if you test after excersise it can show negative, I'm not too sure why but I remember last time I was on CD I tested just after changing my front room round and it was neg, I panicked and a lovely mininer told me it would be due to excersise.

    Day 6 - many questions today

    Because you have all your nutrients and vitemins and protiens and carbs in your shakes your body doesn't go into starvation mode, so it doesn't store anything! in the first week you loose lots of water and glycogen so most people loose a lot in week 1! I lost 11lbs this time and 16lbs last time...
  124. Roosters

    5 stones lost--keep falling off the wagon!

    Hiya SS+ seems like a good idea! I've been having the same problem as you and my CDC recommends alternating between SS and SS+ so if you can SS for a couple of days then do so, then on the 3rd day, do SS+, ok so it's a small meal but it might stave of the need to binge!!

    Is this normal?

    I had the same thing this morning Donna, I was 4lbs heavier this morning than I was yesterday morning - I only drank 3 litres of H20 yesterday and TOTM started today.. it's amazing how much water our bodies can store.. Don't worry though.. you'll still be losing the same amount of fat each day...

    Finding It Abit Hard!

    Hi Emma! Don't worry, it does get easier, I think the first few days aswell as the hunger you have to break habits too which is really hard. I found at 11 am on my first few days I would get up to go get a biccy, then remember I didn't have them anymore!! now I don't even give them a second...

    Week 4 Weigh in.. bit odd!!

    Well I got on the scales this morning, and I'm 4lb down!! which I am pleased with.. The odd part is I got on the scales yesterday morning and it was an entirely different story!! Yesterday I was looking at another 8lb loss this week =, but I seem to have gained 4lb over night! I'm sure it's...

    A Question for the ladies!!

    hmm, I suppose it's possible, but just seems unlikely.. I perhaps should test.

    A Question for the ladies!!

    Hiya ladies, I was just wondering if being on CD has affected your cycles at all? I've searched through CD website and it says it can affect them, but I assumed you would have to be on the diet for a while for it to do that? I'm just coming to the end of week 4 and I'm a few days late.. any...

    Day 3

    Oh no Cheryl, well water water water.. and think how lovely that bath will be when you get back from work!! xx
  235. Roosters

    Help Please!

    aww don't worry, I'm sure it won't make a jot of difference.. the first few days are the hardest and it's so easy to give into temptation! but if you only had a teeny bit I doubt it would've even taken you out of Ketosis. It's good in a way as it made you realise that you don't want to cheat so...

    Water flavourings......

    Hi Diva The water flavors are lovely, I find that 1 teaspoon per litre of water makes it far too sweet so I just sprinkle about a quarter in and it it makes water much easier to slip down.. also I make it was half cold water and half hot so it's like a comforting warm drink! Boiullion is like...

    Day 3

    Cheryl :patback: I know exactly how you feel.. day 3 was worst for me too. Even though I knew it was coming, as like you, I've done CD before, but it hit me like a tonne of bricks and I felt awful, emotionaly and physically! I recommend a hot bubble bath and an early night, you know you'll...
  239. Roosters

    Do you drink the BOULILLION?

    I have 1 mug a day, but made with half a teaspoon as I don't like strong flavors.. I think if you want something savory, go for it!
  240. Roosters

    Water flavourings......

    Well, what I do is split the 1 teaspoon allowence into 3 litres.. if you don't mind it weak it's nice like that!

    It is Tuesday, Let's go Hour by Hour

    Morning Everyone!! Dobbie, I was having this dilema myself.. last time I did CD I always weighed in the morning! this time my CD comes in the evening and the fluctuation between your morning weight and your evening weight can be a fair few pounds! I've just bought myself some flashy new scales...

    **Its Monday** Lets do it hour by hour!!

    Morning everyone!! After an extreeeemly busy week and a very difficult time resisting roast dinner yesterday (I resisted YAY) I've decided to have a day curled up on the sofa with the small person watching cartoons.. Good luck with everyones weigh ins! Have a good day all!

    Opinions Please... been baking again...

    Do you weight yourself daily?

    Wow.. interesting.. I can see how weighing yourself can become addictive, that's why I'm hesitating, I don't know wether to buy some scales or not!! then again, like you say kelly it's motivating!!.. but it might work the opporsite too!!
  245. Roosters

    Do you weight yourself daily?

    Or do you just weigh in when you see your councilor? If you weigh daily, what time of day? morning or evening? I'm thinking of getting some scales for at home, any thoughts?

    A thought on "small" losses

    I'm guilty of this!!! I lost 3lb this week and I was so grumpy.. but you're right.. what a silly impatient thing I am
