I feel after spending the past 12 months trying and failing then putting on more weight, I will be better trying a programme that allows me to have some food. Does anyone know what the average loss is on...

My hair is starting to thin anyway which is probably down to age and I have not yet started the diet, last time I lost 3 stone it came out in handfuls and never really grew back, I am worried if it...

    Week 2 WI

    Made it to week 2 with a 3lb loss, a bit dissapointed as it doesnt seem much for all the hard work of S/S but still a loss and makes it 9lbs in 2 weeks so on target for that stone a month.

    How many times is too many??

    I have been on and off CD for the last 2 years, having lost 3 stone first time around I put 4 back on through family bereavement and other problems. I have tried so many times to get back into it but never made it, however this time I am more focussed and nearly at the end of my 2nd week of...

    On day 9 of 100th restart, have been drinking loads of water with flavouring as I cant stomach plain, weighed in today and only lost 4lb, also I have been unable to get into ketosis, each time I check the stick reads negative. What is going wrong, could it be anything to do with the water...

    Drinks flavouring

    I cant cope with plain water, it makes me retch so my CD gave me some orange flavouring. Its really nice and I have managed 2-3 litres a day, is this ok. I put a small teaspoon (not heaped) in each 2 litre bottle.

    Antibiotics while SSing

    LL vs CD Querie

    Hi, I think LL is about £70 per week, quite a bit more than CD. I havent done LL as I couldnt afford to pay that much, my friend is on LL and the only difference seems to be the support meetings you have, I have a very good CDC who always has time to talk so feel well supported.

    Its not fair

    I am sticking to it this time, its my 3rd week but my loses are so slow, so far in 3 weeks I have only lost 9lbs in total so unless I lose 5lb next week I wont make that stone. My friend has been doing RC for 2 months and her weight loss so far is 1st-12lbs so quite impressive.

    Has anyone made it to a size 8-10 on the CD??

    This does not sound right to me, I think you need to take this further and make a complaint. I am sure a CDC counsellor on here will be able to give some advice on how you do this.

    what would happen to losses if i ate chicken instead of packs????

    It would be like the Atkins diet I guess, I did this for 2 years and did have somes good losses but I got bored, the trouble with me is once I put food in my mouth I want more, its best not to have that worry which is why I stick to shakes and soups, (when I can)
  129. S

    Hi Sarah, cant the CDC just sell you enough shakes to keep you going until you can meet a new CDC. I am sure as she has put you in this mess she will help.
