Was all ready to start today but delivery not due till after 4, plus from reading the forums I might be best to study up a bit before starting. Want to be a few days in before working and I work Fri-mon so thinking of going carb free for the next few days and starting on Monday. Will that make...

Hi Team! I am so sorry I have not been on here for almost 3 weeks but it has been mental! Between trying to make sure we could actually get to our wedding and honeymoon (flights were cancelled-then re-booked, rescheduled, etc) and making sure I had everything done at work before I left, I have...

hi guys, again, sorry i have been to distracted to come on here. not doing so well with the diet this week, again. all this stress is really getting to me and the wedding is ony 3 weeks away! i should be at the gym every night but instead on on the computer freaking out! arghhhhhhhhhhhh

Hi guys, sorry i haven't been on here but i am having a personal nightmare. dont know if you all remember but I am meant to be getting married on the 30thof may - in mexico. i cant go into all the details of what is happening and what our options are but rock and hard place come to mind...

Hiya, Jackie - hope your mum gets better soon. Good luck this week! Anni - what an accomplishment! I hope you are very proud of yourself. and im sure you will have no trouble keeping the weight off once you come off cd, you have proven to yourself that you have amazing will power! Dean - Hope...

Hi Guys, Sorry i haven't posted at all this week. was feeling rubbish at the start of the week, funny tummy, light headed and no appetite. Plus, with the school holidays, work was mental! It all worked out well for me in the end, lost 4lbs this week! but i haven't been to the gym for ages cause...

Hiya, Thanks for the words of encouragement. saw my cdc this morning and worked out ok in the end, lost 3lbs this week! and the best news is that according to her bmi chart i am no longer obese! i am now 'overweight'. Also figured out what was wrong with me all week, totm! you are so lucky...

Wow! listen to all of you little exercise bunnies! Your all giving me a run for my money, gonna have to step it up myself. actually, ive been really bad this week. eating a bit too much in my ss+ meal and not going to the gym enough, just feel really knackered. hoping it will pass very soon...

TOTAL TEAM LOSS FOR THIS WEEK 1.06% And guess who our biggest looser is???? DEAN!!!! Well done team, almost all of us managed to loose something this week, lets keep it up!

Jackie - you haven't updated your spread sheet for this week. Kate has asked me to do them for her and I have to do them now cause im going out. Your signature says 177, so ill go with that, hope its right and if so, well done on your 3lb loss!

Sorry Dean, not only was it deep reading but i wasn't very careful with the predictive text on my phone, hope you figured it out :) not got time, on my way out but ill post more tomorrow. Good luck for WI everyone!!!

Hiya, just a quick one cause im on my phone but to answer your question dean- you wont have put on a pound of muscle yet, that takes ages. Exercise can affect you weight because muscles retain water as they build. As you build them up, it should level out but at the start, you can retain water...

Hi guys, Since its my totm, i thought i would treat myself to a new dress, and then i did some ironing, got my hair done and spent the rest of the day dreaming about Dean :p I wish! i just got back from punishing myself at the gym. its going really well tho, since i started going mid feb. i...

Well done Anni - your our wee star!!! Jackie - have added you to the sheet and sent you an invite to it via gmail, check your e-mail. Everyone else - hope your having a great start to this new week. I know we are going to get up that team chart this week, i can feel it!

Hi Jackie, Welcome on board!!!!! I'll need your e-mail address to add you to the spread sheet and send it to you. its better if you have a google-mail account since you will need it to get into google documents, which is what the spread sheet is on. Im getting married May 30th so its crunch...

Hey folks, Back from salsa-size and i am totally knackered! it is really good fun though, but i am so uncoordinated. Kate - are you doing ss or ss+? maybe you are pushing yourself too hard, putting too much pressure on yourself. Dee's suggestion is great but maybe you should start on 810 and...

Well done Anni on reaching 3 stone!!!! Im sure others notice the change, even if you don't. everyone keeps telling me how great i look and say im crazy to want to loose another 2 stone, they think i lost enough already, but, like you, i still see myself as just as heavy as i was when i started...

Sucks about the runner Dean, but i take it you took your rage out on your abs. 200 sit ups? i feel great when i manage 80. try to enjoy your food. you don't want to go the opposite way and give yourself a complex. So glad we are all up for the mini challenge. I better up my cardio ;) Any...

hey Dee, know how you feel. I walked into top shop for the first time in about 3 years and i took a deep breath and picked out some clothes to try on. guess what? they fit! i can fit into a top shop 14 on the top!!!! didnt want to to push my luck and try on the trousers cause i felt sooo good...

Im glad that all sorted!!!! crisis averted (wipes brow, phew!) So its ON!!! 7lbs in the next 2 weeks!!!! so that 7lbs by 2 saturday WI's from now! Up for it team?????? and as a side challenge, for whoever wants to join in, lets say 1 1/2 stone by May 25th!. which 9 weeks away, and the date i...

I think your right Anni, we all deal with our stress differently but we are here to learn how not to turn to food and we are here to support each other. i think Dean was just trying to give us all a kick up the butt, not place blame. maybe we need something more than just support, I know I...

WHOA!!!!! This is getting out of hand! First of all - Dean - WE WOULD NOT BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU!!!! Have you ever lived with more than a couple of women? we are a nightmare! We need a bit of testosterone to even things out. joking aside, you are a really important member of this team and...

Don't feel bad Dean, we all need a kick up the a*se sometimes! I am very much still in it! still on ss+, still going to the gym and still focused on loosing weight. Nya hasn't been on in a while and she has not updates her weight record in 2 weeks so maybe its time to cut her loose? Sorry Nya...

Hiya, Just started interval training and looking for some advice. Im doing 25-30 minutes on the bike (including warm-up and cool down). my low level is 5 at about 80mph and my high is between level 11-12 at 90-100mph. I am planning on doing this 3-4 times a week as well as some circuit weight...

Kate & Dee - No need to apologize! we are here to support each other and that wouldn't mean very much if we were all happy and 100% all the time. Dee- good for you! and your dad! just make sure you are doing this for you and not other people. the thing about the clothes is great and such good...

Wow Anni - you are sticking to CD on your birthday! You are an inspiration of dedication! And so are you Dean! thanks for posting those pics. I know how you feel, looking back and being a bit embarrassed but don't be, your a handsome guy. I sent my mom a recent pic of me and she was shocked at...

Hi all, sorry i haven't been around the last few days. our hard drive died and martin had to install another one. good thing the boy knows about computers, i would have thought i needed a new one. The mini challenge is going well. kinda. I am going to gym every night i can, the only times i...

DEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!! Welcome back honey!!!!!!!! oh how we have missed you! are you still in pain? i hope not. and did you stay on the diet while in hospital? as for your results - we have been putting you in as STS each week so im sure you can post your loss as normal and if its...

Katie - cakes! Glad you are back on track honey. You got me through those first few weeks and i want to support you too. I think 7 pounds in 2 weeks is a realistic, sensable goal. Let that be the start of our mini challenge, and from there - its only 3lbs the next week to reach the 10lbs in 3...

Yey Mini-Challenge!!!! Ok - 10lbs off by March 23rd! we can do it. Kate - come on and join in! I know your having a hard time staying focused but you can do it! its funny, you think it will get easier as you go but it actually gets harder. I think the reason is that at the beguining you are...

Hi Guys, sorry i haven't been posting much, been busy with wedding and honeymoon planning. not been a good girl this week, had a few slip ups but nothing major. Only lost a pound on my CD's scales and lost nothing on mine :( Joined the gym last night so i could go after work and not just on my...

sorry, sent results to Irene but forgot to post them here. Drum roll please..... Anni is our biggest looser this week with 1.76% Well done you!!!! as a team we only had .496% this week but hey, better than nothing. at at least next weeks will be better :)

ill go ahead and post results anyway since between anni and i its a 7lb loss, so at least it something :)

Hi Folks, Im doing the WI info today since Kate has a long shift. Dean, Dee & Kate are all going in as STS so i really need your info Nya! thanks, rach

OMG!!! Dean, hope you get everthing sorted quickly and its painless as can be. Thank you Stacey for posting. He is such a sweetie thinking of us when he is unwell. Lesson for all of us, not everything your body goes through is a result of this crazy diet. get well soon Dean, thinking of...

Hey Team, Im back and in the zone! had a great time in Israel just hanging out with my family. Turns out, i had lost 8lbs while i was there and i was really bad about having my shakes. everyone insisted on feeding me but i was very strict and only had salad leaves and grilled chicken or poached...

Hi Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am here in sunny Israel. not as hot as i would have liked but a bloody lot better than back home! I have been walking everyday in the nature reserve by my family's house and getting my granny to tell me loads of stories. its been really relaxing. Aside from Dean's...

Hi Dean, I had a look at the spread sheets but only me and anni gave entered our stats so no point in me getting it together. I really hope your on here tomorrow cause i wont be. Kate doesnt want to let the team down, and neither do i so I hope you will be our knight in shinning armour and come...

Hello Team! Kate gave me phone and she is snowed in so she won't make it home tomorrow from Devon. I am flying out (hopefully) tomorrow morning so.... DEAN - can you please do the maths and send the results to Irene? I could do it tonight but we changed the deadline to sat by 5pm so might not...

Hey folks, sorry you are getting no business dean, is the weather still that bad down there? im flying out of hethrow on saturday, hope it clears up by then. I am not going to be the biggest looser this week, i can assure you all of that. I have not been walking to work cause of the weather, i...

Hey team, how we all doing? Well done Dean on facing the pub and all that food, i would have been soooo tempted to have a wee glass of wine. we had a bit of a disaster the other day when martins boss refused to give him a month off for the wedding and honeymoon so we had to cut it down to 3...

Good for you Anni! well done on facing a buffet. I am starting to worry about going to visit the family next week, its my cousins birthday so there is bound to be a family meal and having to stay away from my grandmother and aunt's cooking is going to be very hard. Speaking of garlic...

Like anything, you have to use it to get something out if it. You can defo use the wii fit to loose weight and get a good muscle work out. best for cardio is the jogging and hoola-hoop. i like the yoga as well for toning and the muscle excersizes. if you comited to 20-30 minutes a day, im...

Wow!! thanks honey! I hope my big loss is not all down to my new scales :D then again, i am wearing a pair of jeans i have not worn in 2 years so that must say something. hope everyone is well and a big :thankyou: to everyone for filling in the sheet and making this the first of many weeks...

Caroline - stick in there honey! I hated the first 5-8 days, worst days i have had in a very long time. first 3 days had a migrane and felt hungry. after that past i just felt really foggy headed, hard time getting up in the morning, tired, cold, basic crappy feeling. Once i got through that it...

Dean, that sucks. Glad your wife is OK. and well done you for overcoming your desire to eat. your well on your way to breaking your addiction! Anni - if you have the link to the original, can you e-mail it to me [email protected] hope all are doing well, im off to yoga!

hey guys, can you let me know if you got the spreadsheet so kate knows where to check your results tomorrow? kate, sent it the e-mail account you just messaged me on, had it wrong before. did you get it?

Hey honey, can you do me a favor and check your google docs to see if you still have the original sheet just in case its only me. I sent you a link to the new one but it has a different name, just 'weight-record' Dee - couldnt find your e-mail address, can you post it or send it to me so i can...

New Spreadsheet Ok Folks, I have figured out how to make a new spreadsheet. doing it now and then will go through all the onld posts, find your e-mails and send it. Phew!

Hi Nya, I called Kate at work to tell her about your post and discuss what to do. We are both very sorry for your loss and feel awful about the decission we all felt we had to make regarding the team. We do not feel it would be righ to kick either of the new girls off but we also do not feel...

Hi Missy, I called kate right after i sent you the message on your profile. she has no idea what has happened either. she was at work so could not check her computer. she said she sent a link to the new girls and they added themselves but she did not think they had deleted anyone. so, we are...

Go you indeed Anni! Just keep your goal clear in your head, picture yourself as you want to be and keep that picture in your head, it will keep you strong. As the weight falls of you and your clothes get bigger and bigger, you will find it much easier to stay motivated. remember, your team is...

I walk to work everyday, about 2 miles. i also do a yoga class and a pilates dvd at home a couple of times a week. I do ss+ on days that i burn those cals off, and stay on ss on days that i do nothing (which is hardly ever). I think my weight loss has improved with the walking cause the first 2...

Caroline and Anni - welcome to the team!!! we are going to rock it!!!!!! sooo happy to have you on board.:bliss: Im rachel, or rach, or chilli - call me anything you like but dont call me late for dinner, in fact, dont call me for dinner at all cause i cant eat it :8855: sorry, its late and im...

Hi Kate, I am doing soooo well. i really think its down to doing ss+. i feel so much better, loads of energy and really motivated to work out and get fit. i walked to work again today, had one shake at 1pm, then 3 boiled egg whites (17 cals each and pure protien) cause i knew i was going to a...

Hi Baby C - you sound great but we have to differ all reqruitment to our leader, the right honourable Kate the rock star! Please PM her. If you dont have that facility yet, just post on here saying that. 3 weeks in huh? same as me and kate, how you feeling? good for you for sticking with it...

could it be gas? Im fine with quorn but my other half gets terrible wind. he never complains about being bloated but lets just say i never sit to close to him after a quorn supper;)

Go Leader!!!!!!! Nya, we want to support you and help you through this but you have to let us help you. you also have to help us. Being in this team is a commitment, to yourself and to the team. Thats the point. You want to work harder to make your team proud and to win. In turn, your team...

NYA - sorry if that sounded harsh, soooo did not mean it to! I get very competitive and its killing me that we have not been able to post results the past 2 weeks. I know we will get there eventually. we are the little team that could! and i would not have it any other way or be part of any...

Hey Dean, Was just about to PM Irene the same info. So, should we advertise for another member? We really need to get on track here. Checked the spreadsheet and its only you, me, kate and dee who are entering results. I know nya's in our team but as it is, we only have 4 results going. What...

Hiya, I drank almost a whole bottle of champagne last week. When i tested my ketosis with a ketostick the next morning it was very pale pink, so i was still in ketosis. by the next day, i was back to dark pink. And i too got really pissed and sick so lesson learned, no more drinking!!!!!!! Im...

Hey Dean, dont be disappointed, thats a great loss!!!! we all have to deal with the fact that it will slow down. the good thing is that we know the diet works, we have proved it to ourselves. In order to keep the losses high i have started doing mpre excersize, now that i feel kinda normal...

Hi everyone! I know i was naughty. it was only meant to be a glass of champagne, not the bottle! anyway, i have been doing really well walking to work everyday which is almost 2 miles up hill. only problem is that my scales say that i have gained weight :eek: i dont get it. a bottle fo champagne...

Hi Andrea and welcome to the team!!! I was really bad yesterday. dont know if i told you guys but im american and i was so excited about obama that i had a glass of champagne. then another. then another. skipped 2 shakes and wound up making myself some food. I wasn't too bad with the food...

I vote for Kate too!!!!! Do we need a new member or are we ok with 5? I defo dont want to split up. then again, break ups always help me loose weight;) i say we stay in the group and if Kate is worried about time issues we can have 2 leaders who split the responsabilities fro posting results...

Ill admit it too, im a cheater. twice a week, i have a mini baby bel light. it does not effect my weight loss or ketosis. I have it at around 7, a few hours after my second shake and an hour or 2 before the next one. When i pick it up, I ask myself - am i really hungry? most of the time, the...

Dean, AMAZING RESULT!!!!! 24lb in two weeks!!:happy096: jus shows, the diet works! so when we are feeling low,having a hard time with our cravings, we just have to remember our losses. We are all doing so well. We are sure to win the challenge! keep up the good work team. xx

Awww honey!!! Whats going on? why are you so sad? wish i could give you a big ol' hug!:hug99: You are doing great! :happy096: yes, there are a lot of issues that get dragged up on this diet but that is why we are doing it, right? to deal with our food hang ups so that once we finish this crazy...

I love making crisps when i get the nibbles but my CDC said that they do not recomend putting anything other than the porridge in the microwave. reson for this is what others have said, you loose some of the nutrients. then again, she said that if making myself crisps once or twice a week helps...

hey folks, so, tomorrow is out first official WI!!!! Missy, im a bit confused. do i fill in the spread sheet, post it on here or PM you with it? or all of the above? cant wait to see what big fat loosers we all are :bliss:

Depends on your CDC. I see mine once a week to get my stuff but she books me in for an hour and we talk about how im doing. She doen't text me to see how im getting on but I know i can text her when ever i want, and when i have she has gotten right back to me. Speak to your CDC and ask her if...

Hi guys, Had my second meeting with CDC tonight. My first was last Tuesday night and i was 16.3. Started CD last Wednesday and tonight, 5 days later, I was 15.11. not bad. I was a bit dissapointed as most people seem to have a 10lb loss but still, i had lost a bit before i started so i cant...

im on day 4 and i have been using my wii. I just do the yoga and im fine. My CDC said to just listen to my body and if i feel tired or faint, to stop so thats what i do. i find the yoga really calming, it helps.

My CDC said that is normal. she said you may experience mood swings. Also, when iam sleep deprived i get really tearful and emotional. I have even woken up crying from lack of sleep so it could be that rather than the diet. tey getting a nap when you little one does, if you can :)

Try peppermint tea. if you drink it without the sweetner, it counts as water.

Thanks for posting those. I love the pics, they keep me on track! cant wait to get to the point where i can post my own. keep it up girl!

they are those weird, and ugly, trainers that are meant to help your core stability and work your muscles a bit more. the toe and back area are curved so they force you to stay centered and stand up straight. In the end, wasn't in the mood for something hot since i had just had a coffee so went...

I love the cappuchino! but i add a teaspoon of instant coffee to it. Ill try your suggestion with having it hot. Bought myself a pair of MBT's yesterday in the sales so im going to clean the house wearing them and hopefully burn off a few extra cals;)

Hmmmm... havent done any of the shakes hot yet. whats your method?

Dont go into your signature, just click on your ticker at the bottom of a post and it will take you to the screen to enter your pin. Update the ticker and hint next. you shouldt need to copy and paste the ticker into your signature again, it should update automatically. that how i do mine anyway.

Im cleaning too! well, i clean for half an hour, come on here for half an hour...rinse and repeat LOL. have been having porridge every morning and shake for lunch but i think ill mix it up today and try the choc mint for breakie and porridge for lunch. Is choc mint best in the blender with ice...

Hi Naomi, good for you getting started again! When i need some encourgment i look at the before and after pics on here, it helps me stay on track.

AMAZING result!!! well done you! keep up the good work!

Dean, that is AMAZING, well done you!!!!!

any leaf tea is fine, including peppermint. you just cant have anything made with fruit or flowers. I have been drinking peppermint at night and green tea during the day. Also drinking vanilla red bush tea. I know the red bush part is ok but not sure about the vanilla. it has natural vanilla...

Kate, you are crazy, lack of food must be getting to your head, OF COURSE YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! Not only can you do this, but you will do this. If not for yourself, then for me :D, i need all the help i can get and i dont know what i would do without my bride-to-be buddy:girlpower: I have been...

It is a black tea but it has orange in it so I got some chai loose leaf tea from whitards. Its black tea with cloves, cinammon and cardammom, think i can have those spices, right? well if not, too late now. I made the tea when i had my porridge this morning and let it steep till i was ready for...

If you cant have tomatoes - here is another idea. You can make scrambled tofu, kind of like scrambled egg but since it has no flavour i added curry powder. Put the tofu in a pan with some onions, mushroom, etc. and mush it up with curry powder till it resembles scrambled eggs. its not to...

Hi all, I just thought i would wrap this thread up and let you know that I am on CD SS. day 3 and going strong. thanks for all the advice and help.

Hi there, not sure about amounts as i am on SS. I used to be a veggie so i can advise you on taste. Tofu is very bland, almost no flavour at all. it takes on the taste of whatever you put it in. I would usually marinate it in soy sauce and put it in a stir fry. but with the salt content of that...

I bought a shaker from my CDC. it has a plastic grid at the top which breaks down all the lumps. I use that when i am at work with just really cold water, no ice. and I use about 400ml of water so it doesnt taste powdery but it also doesnt taste watered down. At home i use the blender with 400ml...

Hi team, Just wanted to share - day 3 and i am in proper ketosis!!!! Bright pink on the stick! no weight loss today though:sigh: (yesterday was 4 pounds off but i didnt get to excited since i know its all water. still felt nice) I know i shouldn't be weighting myself everyday but i cant help...

wow! it will be great to get a 4 week result, you will feel awesome after seeing that. let us know how it goes. xx

to learn how to have a healthy relationship with food. to enjoy it like i should and not let it run my life.

Hiya, Im on day 2 and had a terrible headache this morning. tried to stick it out but i just couldnt so i took 2 neurofen migrane tablets and it really helped. also felt really tired and run down till i had my second shake. once the headache was gone and the shake kicked in I felt great, so...

Chewing gum is not a good idea. the act of chewing will get the acids in your stomach going cause it thinks you are giving it food it will need to digest. this will make you feel hungry and in the long run can give you problems with your stomach. stick to mouthwash for the bad breath. also...

:8855:tell me about it! i dont think my body is happy with me either but it will be soon. Ask your CDC about an extra shake a day till you get used to it. or try splitting yuor shakes in half so you can have one every couple of hours, might help.

Hi Honey, here is a link to the 2009 bride thread http://www.minimins.com/brides/67300-anyone-getting-married-2009-wanna-buddy-up-share-ideas-wedding-vows-completed.html come and join us, all the girls are great and really supportive, like everyone here :D Im on my 2nd day of CD and im getting...

prauge is stunning. as is paris. and amsterdam. New york is the best city. but im fomt here so of course i would say that.:D

thanks for that. same thing was happening to me today. had my porridge at 11:30am and then by 2 i was feeling really bad and had to lie down but never felt hungry, just sick, headache and light headed. but i had my shake at 3:30 and some neurofen and feel great now.

its ok. you have done really well. and nuts are allowed on atkins so it should not knock you out of ketosis. forget about it and dont kick yourself. your doing fine.

Well Done!!! im on day 2 and felt great except for the terrible headache, thank god for neurofen! I just made myself a vanilla shake with 400ml water, ice, some instant coffee and stuck it in the blender. i am loving it, tastes like a frappuchino. I make my shakes with about 400ml water and...

the wii fit is great but just like going to the gym, you have to be self motivated to get on it. speaking of which, haven't been on mine for months but since i started CD yesterday, ghetting on it right now and will keep myself motivated to do it as often as i can so i dont get the dreaded saggy...

im only on day 2 and i keep getting cravings but they pass as soon as they come. If you have to cheat, make sure its low carb and low cal, something like prawns or salad leaves.

Hey Dean, your totally right. It is mind over matter so i just keep thinking about my goal rather than what i am missing. Any food i miss will still be there in 5 months time but guess what wont be there? A fat me!!!

My CDC said that it doesn't matter how fast or slow you loose the weight. She suggested body brushes to get your skin nice and pink, bringing the blood to the surface, yoga and pellatis (sp?) and lots and lots of water.

Wedding in May and trying for a baby after!!! best two motivators in the world. xx

carbs!

good idea about the tandoori chicken i make it myself, or used to, with skinless chick breast and fat free natural yoghurt and spices. it wont kick you out of ketosis and if you make it yourself, it will not onyl be carb free but low fat as well. and it saves you from the temptation of getting...

My CDC is a nurse and she says it is totally healthy as long as you do not have problems with your kidneys, liver, etc... basically, if you are in good health it is fine. this is not something that you do for a long time, it is not a life style choice. it is a means to an end and when you have...

Hey missy - My CDC is a nurse so ill ask her, she might have a better idea than your CDC due to her background. anyway, whats a little backpain for 11lbs of loss? YOU GO GIRL!!!! I started today rather than waiting till tomorrow. decided to just go for it. all i was doing was putting off the...

Hi team, I'm just back from my first meeting and all stocked up. I love my CDC. she is a nurse in her day job so it makes me feel even safer working with her. Also, her scales are different from mine and im 2lb thinner on hers! but for the weekly WI's im going to stick with my own scales since...

GO TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry i have not been part of the team planning. I work at John Lewis and clearence has been mental! I have my first appt. with my CDC tomorrow and I hope to start on thursday. Im doing Atkins at the moment to get into ketosis before i start. You all have such great goals...

Hey, if anyone drops out, ill drop in :)

Thanks girls. I feel so supported already and i haven't even started yet! I have a feeling ill be needing all the help i can get. Thank you all and i'll post again on my first day. Serena, Ill stick to my usual very low carb diet till i start, anything to make the transition a bit easier...
