Not bad honey thanks, I don't think you should feel bad about eating because remember its all well and good going off food to do SS but sooner or later you have to start eating again and its then that the hard work really starts because you have to deal with any eating issues etc so you don't...

Hi Dean DO you think it could be the bars causing it, my CDC recommended to me not to have more than 1 per day as they can cause flatulance etc, it might be that? Although I hope not for your sake because I know how much you love em, as do I!! I've had a little bowel problem today too, wont...

Right- well time is officially up Nya and Andrea :( I am so sorry but I am going to have to advertise in the agency section for 2 new members for our team because otherwise....well as explained before I have to put the teams wellbeing first and if it means losing 2 members rather than 5 I have...

For F***'s sake- I just wrote a long message and the net went off!! I'm not bothering to write it all again cus my hands hurt too much (suffer from carpals tunnel you see) Dean- I am sorry to hear the customers were so mardy today hopefully next time you are in they will be more cheery :D...

Evening gang Good evening guys!!! Well still no word from Nya, fingers crossed she comes in before tomorrow and commits.... Dean, fantastic to see a photo of you and presumably your wife?! You look well different to what I imagined, not that I'm sure what that actually was, lol. Nice to...

Thanks for popping in Kelly- Dean is doing so well, we're all so proud of him. xx

Thanks Rach :D --- totally right, Nya, we are here to help you and we appreciate you may lead a busy life, goodness knows I know how that feels working 50 hr weeks....but I log in as much as I can and keep things updated, you need to do the same so even if your not vocal on here your spreadsheet...

Right *adopts Sargent Major stance* --- I am sorry to get harsh but I am in agreement with Rach, Dean and I know Dee would agree too once she catches up with the thread, but Nya, I have to make a decision for our team because right now we are getting no where and have lost out on what 3 weeks of...

FIRSTLY- DEAN - congrats, babe that is amazing, you are doing so well! Rach- I am going to start going gym as of next week :) can't wait to start shifting more weight!! Ok- so I have just got home from a 13 hr shift logged in to sort out entering our results but annoyingly realised I can't...

Hi hun Not doing to good today- still struggling, but just spoke to my CDC who gave me some advice which was nice :) I will want this weeks weigh in but it all depends on whether Andrea, Sane & Dee have theres in too hun. I'm working 9am-10pm's tomorrow & sunday so not got time to chase...

Ok, so I have NO idea how it happened but Andrea is all of a sudden on the bottom of the spreadsheet, hmmmmmm!! So Andrea you just need your google mail address and your away. I hope your still interested in being part of our team cus I haven't seen you around since you first post!! I dont...

Exactly Rach :D I bet you will have lost hun and like you say even if you don't then you will do next week. It may well just be fluid retention so don't fret too much. I have found today really hard again- I think I just need to keep thinking about why I am doing this and keep focussed. I...

Andrea- I may have figured out how to share our team weight loss spreadsheet with you, all you need to do is set up a googlemail email address. Once you have given me your address I'll try to share the spreadsheet with you. Once you log in you go to the top of the page and click documents...

Hi Nya Sorry to hear your scales say you've STS :( that can't be right, what did you CDC's scales say? Perhaps you need to invest in new scales, if so Argos have currently got a sale on, I got some Salter scales from there on Monday they should have been £48 but I got them for £21 :D woop...

Rach - Woops, you naughty lady but you know what, we still love ya. You are allowed to have your moments and I am sure it won't effect your WI this week!! :) :hug99: Just get back on the wagon and you will be fine hunny, you have done so well so far, your such a star!! Dean- you had a bit of...

Hello my gorgeous team mates!! I am proud to open this new thread to honour our fantastic team, as your new team member I promise to lead the best I can and to keep this team heading in the right direction!!! I would like to say a warm welcome to Andrea :) the new 6th member of Fat Guys Slim...

Hi everyone. As an acknowledgment of my inaugermention (or whatever its called Dean ;)) I am going to start us a new team thread!! :) Hehe! Hope thats okay with you all! Love to you all, see you in the new thread- will answer posts there!! Kate xxxxx

Yeah thats fine hun. I am always using my own scales for WI's anyway as its more accurate as I weigh in the nude ;) so its fine for you to enter your result :) I am working 3-10pm this fri, so I shall sit down and work numbers out once I get home and pm them on to those in the need to know...

Hehe, but we do love ya hun :D your our fave blokey :) We're just about to set off home, should be back by 9pm hopefully knowing Dave's driving anyway!! ;) I will speak to you all later on. Doing okay today, 2 weeks on it today :D I have had 2 x porridge and strawberry shake, got one...

Hi Andrea So long as its okay with the rest of the team then by all means join our group :D Welcome to CD and to the forum. All of us are also new to CD apart from Dee, she is our experienced little fairy who always drops by with pearls of wisdom :) we are a mainly all female team with...

Hi all, Our team leader has sadly had to leave our team, and so I have taken over as team leader and thought I'd post to say we are looking for a new 6th member to join us to complete our team and to re-start our journey together :D Anyone up for the job interested can pm me or reply on here...

Right team- just so you know, I work 2 in 4 weekends (12 hr shifts) and work other weekends on top as I have no choice but to take overtime, so I will need your WI results by Friday as Missy set up and then I will send our details over to Irene H Sat night whether working or not okay with you...

Aww Dean, your comment was so sweet :D really nice and encouraging, thank you. Thanks Rach too for your vote of confidence. I will be leader if you guys, Dee and Sane are happy with it?! Dean, I agree that having this responsibility will help me in my own journey. I'll post a thread...

Ps, have just realised we've missed deadline for this week, oh well, we will have to re-start next week with entering our results :D Dee thanks for that thread, I am going to have a lookey through it now :) xxx

Hi all! Brief post from me- doing okay, thanks for all your words of support, Dee :hug99: I am happy to go along with the group I don't wanna split it really :( I love you guys. Sorry to see Missy go. How about we advertise so to speak for a new member to replace Missy and then decide...

Hi everyone Thanks for your words of support you guys are great :D I know that it is all emotional eating, I am addicted to food and I don't wanna let it get in the way of my success but yesterday was so hard. Your right Rach, I have been working mega loads I have been stressing, worrying about...

Hi Guys We arrived safely and mum & dads net is working temporarily, so I just wanted to log in because I have just been in tears with Dave. I am finding things really hard right now and not sure whether to go onto SS+ because I wondered if just having that small meal a day will help me to deal...

Hi Guys I just wanted to say bye for now, I am off home tomorrow until tues and can't be sure I'll be able to get online as their net is playing up. So if not, I shall be thinking of you all and will continue to stick with it despite all these dreaded thoughts of food I have been having today...

Your right missy, a loss is a loss, I think you will do fine Dee on your 810. So glad your staying in the team :D xx

OK measurements- I have lost 13 (and a quarter) inches in two weeks :D I am so chuffed. Just been rooting through our wardrobe and found two pairs of size 20 combats, guess what they both fit me now and I haven't been able to wear them in months. I also found an old pair of size 18 jeans which...

Hi hun I feel well, I think I am over the worst, but time will tell. I feel more positive and like Yeah I can do this now!! I hope this feeling remains. I would love to be in the 16's by next tues, it'd be amazing and I just won't be able to believe it. Right off to go measure myself....hope...

I had my first tonight after seeing my CDC yum yum, I loved it. I have 9 more to last the next 2 weeks, can't wait to get tucked in!!

Hi everyone! I am more than happy for Dee to stay within the group, in fact I'd love it if she did, if its allowed :D (((hugs hun))) I hope everyone is okay & staying strong. Well done Rach with your weight loss, really good, I bet your pleased with that :D I have just got back from my...

Yeah me too :D xx

I'm getting my first lot of apple and cinnamon tomorrow, I wont be seeing my CDC for 2 weeks after tomorrow so I'm ordering enough porridge to have one every morning and some extras for teatime :D yummy!!

I agree with everything - I'd like to add one which came to mind this morning....I want to get out the shower and know that the towel will fit around me comfortably!!

I dont think we're starting until next fri Irene H but pm Missyl for more info :) Good day 5 :) thought about food a lot but stuck with it and feel better for doing so, can't wait for weigh in on Tues!! I have started my own diary thread at...

Hi Sinead, how is it all going? xx

Evening all! Dean well done on your loss, thats brilliant, keep it up :) I hope everyone else is well and staying strong. Dee, nice to see you back honey :) hope your okay. I just keep thinking of the 5lb mock fat my CDC showed me last week and think I have lost nearly 2 of those :) I...

I might try a muffin soon too sounds nice :)

Yeah, I have told the girls I work with about it and they are being supportive. The thing is because lady I support needs assistance in eating, I'm sat there feeding her all these delicious meals which I would ordinarily eat too :( its hard but I just keep thinking of the goal and if 9lbs is...

LOL sorry babe. I will stay strong. I am trying. I just find it so hard at work, food is all around me and I can hear it calling my name! I started reading my self help book in a bid to stop myself but my head is a little achey so I didn't get very far. But your right, we have one another...

I may have to send mine on the thurs to you as we're going home the fri so won't have online access all day/night, but I will get them too you Missy! I'm glad its nearly bedtime, feeding my client tonight was hell, I just wanted to tuck into her dinner :sigh::cry:even though I knew I didn't...

Well done Rach, I felt a little the same last night because of a lady at work talking about food (see my blog for yesterday) I came home thinking of food more than I had since I began which didn't help but I won :) I got a self help book the other day about emotional eating and plan on reading...

Well done Dean really brilliant of you. I had the same dilemma on my first day of SS, I support a lady with a learning disability and she needs support to eat, I fed her both her meals that day and boy was it tempting :( but I got through it and didn't mind too much. Day 2 complete, got a...

I'm on my first week and bought one of every flavour, how else do I know what I like? Everyone elses taste buds are different to mine so there isn't much point in not trying them for yourself. So far the only one I haven't been 100% keen on was the veg soup, the rest have been nice and I'll...

Just having the oriental chilli soup, its nice as its quite tasty, but I just wish I could have it hotter, I'm not sure how hot is too hot (prior to it reach boiling point) but its still nice! :D

I found this link for ketostix, if anyones interested:- Ketostix 50 strip pack - ExpressChemist.co.uk - Buy Online

Oriental chilli it is :D

Afternoon everyone! Dean your right, thats whats getting me through. I had a little bicker with a friend earlier and I drove home thinking usually I'd stop off and buy some food to gorge on, taking my emotions out on what I eat. But today no, I kept driving, got home saw OH had a lie down...

Ps, where did you get your ketostix from? Your CDC? I ought to get some.

Yeah thats what I thought too hun, better to buy few more than risk using the only ones you have. I felt hungry earlier but now it isn't too bad, I think its more a craving to eat than hunger for me right now....who knows about tomorrow though ;) Well done on starting hun, congratulations :)...

Hi guys, I just searched the forum for receipe ideas and found the following, thought I would post them on here too for us to find easily, if you ever wanna try anything different and report back. I know I will do eventually. RECIPES: Muffin Put a little boiling water into a ramekin dish...

None of the pictures come up on the thread each time I click on this one :( I am new to CD, only coming to the end of Day 1 but I think I will soon be trying some of these receipes, great idea to add variety etc :) Cheers

I just tried the mint choc, it was nice and I had it warm, I just wish I could have it with proper boiling water but then again it may be more the taste of the nutrients that I can taste coming through....does anyone know why your not meant to mix it with boiling water?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to trying it hopefully next week! x

Woops sorry!! I didn't realise, got bit confused obviously! Have done it correctly now! Anyways----- DAY 1 is almost complete. It has been okay, I have enjoyed all the flavours, some more than others though. I do feel hungry but I think as Dee said to me its more food craving than hunger. I...

Morning everyone. Right today is Day 1- I have yet to try my first meal of the day, porridge, I thought I would leave it a little bit until later on in the morning to keep me going for longer :D I am working 11am-10pm today so won't be online until later tonight, unless I am lucky enough to...

Well done hun, your doing well so far :) keep it up. Hope the back pains eases soon, do you suffer usually? I don't think I will have my official WI until next week, like I said in my last post, so if you wanna start next Fri thats fine by me but up to you guys, if it helps starting with all...

Hi Rachel:bliss:Your here :D YAY!! Fantastic, great goals, its nice that we have similar goals to aim for too as we will have a good understanding of one anothers needs etc :D I think as far as I understand the spreadsheet only needs you to fill in the yellow boxes for your starts weight...

Thanks hun :D I am really excited too. Can't wait. We had an indian for tea tonight, kinda like a last meal but I didn't enjoy it and we only ate like half of it each.....wonder if thats a sign that I am ready for this now and totally sick of food!! Good luck with your re-start, I am sure you...

OK hunny :D look forward to hearing x

Yeah let us know Dee, I can't wait to try them, I usually have it for breakie anyway so it will be nice and warming to have as a meal instead of always a shake etc :) I also read on another thread that the soups are quite thick? I wasn't expecting this, thought they'd be really thin and watery...

He will, for sure, we'll help boost ya confidence too hun xx

Maybe that can be a long term goal, to perhaps join FB once you reach your goal, if you feel confident enough to etc :D xx

Hi Hun My mum has tried the original porridge and said it was quite nice :D I can't wait to try them both, unlike mum I like cinnamon so will try the other flavour too!! Let us know what you think. I have that chesty cough too and cannot shake it :( ho hum!! I shall pm you in a min with my...

Yeah I have been a bit like that, it was odd I had it quite bad the week before xmas, then it went and then last week it came back but mainly a cough than anything else, which is really bugging me as it really has disrupted my sleep at night :( and I love my sleep!! Sat will soon be here hun...

Hi, Glad your day is going well, sounds to be anyway :) Good reports back on the flavours too which is reassuring. :hug99:

Thats good to know, for some reason I imagined the soups to be all watery which would turn me right off, I prefer them to have a bit of body and substance :D

Yeah, its hard though isn't it....I think a lot of it is mind over matter. I know I will struggle but I'm just going to make myself do it and keep in mind all the reasons why....I want this so bad and know how crappy I will feel if I fail myself :cry: Good luck

I'll pm Chilli-Chilli to see if all is okay, hope Missyl doesn't mind me doing so. If she does, I'll get the cane ready ;) xx

Hey Dean How are you doing? What day you on now? I'm not too bad, just struggling to shake off this damn cold/cough I've had for past few weeks. I'm really excited about tomorrow, meeting my CDC :D woo hoo!

Thanks hun, have pm'ed you back. xx

Oh I'm pretty sure I will find myself close to cheating, believe me, its like food is my best friend, but worst enemy!! xx

I've heard loads of people say they love it, I can't wait to try it now esp hot!

The things we do to see those scales go down eh?! ;):D

Hi Melissa, I am soon to be starting CD and know I will also be going through the same motions. Pete and others have given some good advice, I like the idea of breaking the day down into smaller segments to help until we hit ketosis when we should in theory find it easier :D Good luck x

Ps, good luck Sane xx

Hi Dee, Eek, a stone, well look at it this way, you had your fun, showing off your so far new slimself and now it is time to cut out the fun food wise and get back to it. You have all of us for support, always here if you need any encouragement and like you say the challenge will be good to...

My mum started CD on sunday and had the porridge for breakie, she said it tasted nice, quite sweet so no need to feel you have to add sugar etc as I know I normally would. I'm looking forward to starting CD hopefully wed and trying both the original and apple & cinnamon flavour porridges. Plus...

LOL you certainly are :D thanks for advice x

I have just found this part of the forum, there is so much to explore its taking me a while :p WeMITTs sounds like a great plan, I have 6-7 stone to lose dependant on how it feels once it starts coming off. I go to meet my CDC tomorrow at 4.30pm, cannot wait, I hope to start Wed, I'm ready to...

Hi Sinead Sorry to hear you have been through a tough time lately with this relationship, no how you feel, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, book, you name it ;) But well done for getting back on it. I have around 6-7 stone to lose and I am meeting my CDC tomorrow afternoon with a view to...

GOOD LUCK DEE!!! You can do this girl!! Oh right so SS+ is the AAM then, I see, oh know all about that one then- I'm hoping to start with SS until the time is right to start adding a meal a week in, I have quite a lot to shed I guess so I imagine I'll be okay staying on SS for a wee while...

I think I am being thick but whats the difference between SS and SS+ ? Ps, have uploaded my fat photos
