Do you count as per 100 g or per 2 sausage, as listed? For 2 sausages: Protien 22.4g Carb 4.3g Of which sugars 0.9g Fibre 1.1g Therefore thinking 2 sausages are 3.2g?!!!! How many carbs you allowed a day - is it 20g? God the mathematics of it all! x

Hiya, never got on the scales to check - feel like I have been obbessed by the scales forever so thought I would go by my clothes. They certainly got looser, and even managed to get into jeans I have not worn for a long time. However, back to tight clothes, big bum and bigger belly!!! Good...

Hiya, welcome to the board. Good luck with CS. Personally I think its the best diet I have tried, but like all diets I have done, I am off it and on it!! Hope you enjoy and keep in touch via the boards - you will get lots of support and encouregement x

Ok confesion time. Went out for a meal 18 days ago and never got back on CS. And how crap do I feel now (not to mention extra large!) Starting again tomo - got my shakes and have brought the pig to twig books to help inspire me. If only I had got straight back on CS after that meal, I would...

Kels, so sorry to hear about your mums news. Its the hardest thing you have to hear from someone close to you - I have been in similar situation. As the gang have said above, be there for her, its a huge shock for everyone involved but stay strong together and you can all get through this. I...

Lady Vegas Put your creme egg into persective, its a little egg!!!! Its not like you went out on a major pig out, then gave up the diet and put on a stone!! Then you would feel crap, but a creme egg is a tiny blip in the whole scheme of things, so draw a line, get drinking that water and go...

Love this idea, In April, I am going to stick to CS at LEAST in the week, I am going to drink all the water and I am going to excercise every other day at least for 20 minutes. Brill idea x

Yeah in an indian have tandorri chicken or chicken tikka. Mind you, we have to live so if it was me I would have full works and just be really good from then on in. I am thinking that I may give myself a night off a week so I can have what I fancy. 4lbs is excellent, but if you are 100%...

Girls, some of us are waning a bit at the moment (me big time!) - how about we have this thread were we can register our name if we have had a fantastic day and have followed all the rules. (including drinking all the water!) I just think it may encourage us to think twice about eating...

Little bit of an update to day 5. My little boy got me a 100g bar of choc from thorntons with to mummy, love his name on it. For this reason I could not throw it away cos it was special. So at 11pm tonight, I could hear it calling me. My thought process was I have been a bit naughty today BUT...

Haha dont worry everywhere will catch up soon!!! Your doing fab x

Hi Donna, Dont beat yourself up = just carry on with it. If I am ever naughty I see that as an opportunity to have a pig out - BUT this time if I am naughty I am just going to get back on the horse afterwards. One bad day wont ruin anything. Keep going, we will all get there in the end! Diz x

Day three God this has been the longest 3 days ever! Think its cos I am off work on holiday this week and not as busy. Been a hard day today. Again only had one shake - I know very naughty - BUT I was out shopping at lunch time, had no shake and so pigged out on some chicken - I mean pigged...

Hiya, yeah, I got the pee sticks and its pink. Was in ketosis last time after about day 3 also. Apparently you dont have to be in ketosis to loose weight on this diet....? I did atkins a few years ago and I know that is based around being in ketosis. This diet is less strict about it I believe...

Thanks for the advice on the water girls - currently swigging quite well from a 500ml bottle of water!!! Catz, I too am an emotional eater, think I have only recognised this in the last few months, but I think it may be a bit of a break through in trying to lose this excess weight. At least I...

omg Katz, look at your wieght loss - that is just amazing! How did you do it??? I am such a yo yo dieter and its either feast or famine in our house - mainly feast! If I am not dieting then I am gorging! Thats why I like CS - I love the restictions it gives me, which sounds a bit wierd! If I...

Day 2. Almost over and gone well, although I only had 1 shake. So food for today: Shake Apple Some tuna mayo Salmon, roasted courgette and salad About 3 pints of water - again not enough, but working on it. Has a really busy day in garden which really took my mind off food. My problem is...

Hi Soozy, What a coincidence being almost same size and hieght! Well I see you a lot less than me now - your doing fantastic! Cos of my long legs, I have to buy dorothy perkins tall trousers BUT they only go up to size 22 and they are tight on me now - hence I have to diet or have nothing...

Hello all! I was here at the end of Jan on my first attempt as CS. Loved the diet, lost about ten pounds in first week, BUT we got broken into at home and the diet went to pot! So here I am on round 2, many many weeks later! sofar so good. I cant fail to loose this extra wieght again so I am...

Yep, I have well slipped up too. Its just not easy is it. I find it harder when on day off from work - when at work it doesnt bother me - but when off I keep opening the fridge and cupboards to see what I cant have!! I too have been weighing every day, but after my 2 week weigh in tomo (not...

Hi Maria, nice to have you here! Isnt is a great diet? I too tried CD for 3 weeks - god it made me ill! Im on day 9, took the last 1.5 days off it cos of the trauma of a house break in, but back on it today. I love the shakes, so much better than CD and Ive tried the beef soup which is ok...

Hiya, I bought a stepper just after xmas, and its gathering dust!!!! Had a few goes but it kills back of legs (that IS the aim I guess!!) I can just manage a 100 steps without collapsing - let me know how you get on. How many steps you aiming for each day? That might inspire me to do more than...

ooops should have said this site is so supportive!!!! hahaha brain is dead! x

Thanks for all your kind words, means a lot. I see it as just a slight hiccup in my wieght loss, loving the diet and love this diet, its just so supportive, Thanks everyone, Dizzy

Hi everyone, Good news - lost 10lbs in first week. Bad news - house got burgled on Sunday night and tons taken, so absolutely gutted. Come off diet yesterday - too much going on and I just picked all day long...cakes crisps bread (why so we always crave carbs in a crisis?)! Back on it...

ooo thanks for the offer of a nakedness!!! Thanks for all your advice. Managed to stick to a chicken stir fry, but have managed to kick myself out of ketosis - gutted! I added some sweet chilli sauce, honey and soy - will that be to blame? Also had some salted cashews earlier - were they it...

Hiya I am struggling soo much today, cant stop thinking about hot buttered toast, pasta, chips,crisps, anything!!! Just in from work and hand a good size (very good size) handful of nuts to try and curb my cravings. I just feel like a pig out!!! Dont fancy meat and veg/salad tonight - got a...

For the last ten years I have always wanted to look fab in 501's!! Bit out of date now, but skinney jeans sound good. Just looking forward to going into top shop/river island etc and pick anything i fancy instead of going to bigger shops and just looking at what fits!

I would have the snacks, even if just fruit. That way you wont feel deprived!! I am having salmon tomo - have you tried marinating it in soy sauce and honey? Delish.

Not tried the latte one - although got it in my starter pack. Dont fancy it as dont like coffee. Remember adding hot water to CD choc shake and it was awful - is CS better than that? Do you all mix mayo with tuna - if so full fat or low fat? More carbs are in low fat and when I have done...

Hiya everyone, Started monday morning and really loving it - feels so easy after doing CD sole sourcing last year! Even though its only day 3, I have much more energy - is everyone else feeling the same? Really impressed with the wieght loss's on here, and its great to read all the posts, feels...
