    when is the first add a meal week?

    I dont think you HAVE to do AAM, I certainly dont intend to, but you cant SS for more than 12 wseeks, I guess it depends how much you have to lose.

    Do you want a team place or does your team have a vacancy - if so post in here

    Hi After fannying around for the last few weeks I have decided to get my act together and go for it big time. Would anyone welcome a former naughty little picker who needs some help?

    reallly unhappy about this weeks weight loss

    We are far too quick to beat ourselves up. Sticking to SS is bloody hard. Sending you a pat on the back!!!

    What's the funniest/craziest thing being on CD ss made you do

    :DI mentioned on here somewhere before I suck food, guess its like licking really:argh: last night I sucked the gravy off my husbands left over vegetables, and then spat it out. Its gross but you know what, I had gone to Sainsburys and bought steak, cream and roquefort to make a yummy dinner (...

    Mix a Mousse

    Hi Betty, Youu can ha ve it from week 3, getting mine on Tuesday, apparently you mix it with the shakes and you get a kind of Angel Delight concoction, will let you know how it goes later in the week

    Sorry if this is too personal........... I have been doing some research and found this old post. Today I had to go to the doctors because by back passage was giving me so much pain. She has diagnosed thrush and we talked over the causes. B4 doing CD I never had milk or dairy as it caused...

    First Meeting!

    Hi Cardiff Girl, Well done on choosing Camdridge. As irene says things seem to be different in each area. My CDC does individual home visits with no group meetings. You order a week at a time from a menu list for the first 2 weeks its just porridge, soup or shakes in a variety of flavours 21 for...
  18. sammylammy

    Does it matter what time you eat your packs?

    Hiya It makes no difference when you have your shakes, bars etc. They are only about 450 cals so it is impossible not to lose weight if you are following it properly, your body needs around 1500-2000 cals daily for just normal movement. A pound of fat I believe is 3000 calories, so over a week...

    Hi Mandy, I am sure you will be fine, I am giving it another week as I know it works but I havent managed to get in to Ketosis for days and days. I start work on Monday and dont know what I am gonna do if I am not in K as it will kill me to have to use energy. Look how great you did week 1...

    ive gained through my own stupied fault! :(

    You are doing really well. One blip is just that. Everytime I see you picture I think how beautiful you look, you dont appear to be overweight at all. It will just take you a few days longer thats all to get to where you want to be, and re the scales it really is not worth weighing everyday, I...

    i have just binged

    its easy done. I went out last night, and planned to drink so I had some chicken and chips before I went. I drank a couple of bottles of wine, and then bought a SUBWAY on the way home. i was on day 4 of SS and not in ketosis yet so I thought it wouldnt matter ( we can trick our brains into...

    When you feel your stalling take a look here

    I found this on another thread when I was feeling down an it is a real eyeopener as well as being funny. This week I lost a guinea pig, and in total a small ugly dog!!! 1 pound = a Guinea Pig 1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts 2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs 3 pounds =...

    I cheated

    Dont feel bad about eating, we are only sabotaging ourself when we do that and make the journey harder on ourselves( I have eaten much worse than toast), but why cant you be honest with your mum about your choice? Imagine how she will feel if you lose a stone and she loses 5lb, would it not...

    Well done marti, having someone you can relate to is a big help. I have bu77ered around for the past two weeks and lost only 4lb but now I am determined to stick to it 100% and if i have to cut people out who encourage me to do bad things for a few months then so be it. My downfall is alcohol...

    Gala Dinner - Help

    I would ask for the steak to be grilled with no sauce, and ask for a green salad rather than potatoes. Any restaurant should be able to dish up a salad. If you blow out dont beat yourself, we are all human and life is for living.

    Oh Donna, I hope you feel better soon. I dont know you, but maybe I can give you a little ray of light.

    Dilemma!

    mine is two hours round trip to, which is a real pain but makes house calls, although I really feel the counselling will benefit me. On LL I did 100 days ss with no cheating and on CD as its a two minute meeting it seems a waste of time to go there. If you can go local with someone you can get...

    Bad First Week

    I cant get to grips either, but you keep going. It will pay off in the end.
  42. sammylammy

    Made The Call :-)

    You are doing so well. Keep up the hard work. I am on a downer at the mo so it is people such as you who I keep looking to fro inspiration. Did 100 days sole source on Lighter Life but cant seem to et going on CD, all in my head so you plug on. In 3 months time the differences are huge.

    Size/Shape/Weight - can we compare?

    I am 5ft 6 and about 14st 8 at last weigh in. I am a 16 top and not quite a 14 bottom, its bizarre how weight doesnt seem to coincide with size. At 15 stone and 13 stone I am still a size 16 comfortably.

    I appreciate everyones opinion, but I would try it and see. Personally I have a large vodka and soda every night, sometimes more, I havent had any problems, i stay in ketosis and this week I have lost about 9lb unofficially ( ie my scales not CDC) and thats since Tuesdays weigh-in. MY CDC said...

    The New and Improved Pickers thread!

    I agree, I talked to my CDC as I have a strange habit, he has never heard of in which I will suck food, to get the taste, but I dont eat it. I started doing this on LL and found it really helped, plus i was always in Ketosis. He reckoned I would be OK as long as it was nothing starchy. It is...
  63. sammylammy

    Ive stopt using ketosis sticks

    At my weigh in I lost 4lb, which i was disappointed with, my CDC said if I hadnt eaten the rice I would have lost double as it will be holding in the water........is it really that bad?

    Ketosis ... dark purple stick

    I was told by my counsellor dark purple means dehydration and can be dangerous, maybe one of the counsellors on here can let you know, in the meantime maybe try to sip some extra water?

    Oh yes I know, what with that and the heartburn..........
  73. sammylammy

    1st Weigh in tonight! Woohoo!

    Fingers crossed for you. Had my first weigh in today, and I have lost 4lb. Bit disappointed if truth be told, but that will still equate to a stone in 4 weeks if I keep it up so not too shabby. Wishing you luck
