the true me, not much help but I feel exactly the same!:rolleyes:

Liv Tyler is a size 14/16 and she's beautiful! I wish I looked like her!:rolleyes:

Hi Jacqui, I had surgery on my lower back yesterday with Local Anaesthetic. I took my CD Tertas along with me ready. They looked at me like I was mad and forced me to eat sanwiches and drink tea! lol. They told me I couldn't leave until I did! I'd ask your dentist x

Thanks Sleepybird:D

Don't worry about the diet for a few weeks x I wouldn't have thought SS on Morphine was a good idea.:eek: You need to put your health first and be well and healed before you start again :) Hope you feel better soon x

Do you always drink 4L water? I can't manage 4L it makes me very dizzy and gives me the runs. I think it's just the fact that my bladders already full and the water has nowhere to go but out the other way...lol!

Well I had a meal on Valentines, and it's my Birthday today so I'm having a green and white meal with my family and chap. I'm not feeling bad about it though at the moment, will just go back to 100% ss from Tuesday onwards.:D I'm off work sick at the moment and I'm finding the diet easier than...

Last time I lost 3 stone on CD SS I looked pretty much the same!:(

I bought the abs system and arms system from Slendertone a week ago.:rolleyes: It's started to firm me up a bit, says in 30 days I should have firmer stronger abs and arms! We shall see!:rolleyes: Lol! The abs belt is more comfortable than the arms system. The arms give you involuntary hand...

I havn't had even a sip of water yet today:rolleyes:... I just can't face it yet!:o lol!

Eughhhh brain freeeeeze!:strikeout_button:I hate that! Feels like your eyes are going to pop out of your head:eek:

Your not the only one struggling to drink water.:rolleyes: It's a complete chore! The more you drink the worse it tastes too! Bleughhhhhhhhhhhhh:9529:

Hope the snow situation is getting better and your dads ok. It will all be ok, they worked wonders with my dad. Stay strong:)X

Hey Blonde Logic:) I totally agree that LL has a better maintenance plan. A friend of mine has just lost 5 stone with LL and she thinks the group sessions are great! By the way your photos are amazing! You look fantastic, really cheers me up seeing everyone's photos :D

Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery for your dad :)

Oh dear, doesn't sound like the treatments work too well. Purple I really feel for your sister too, I'd never had back trouble until I had an accident at work in Nov 07 and slipped a disc. I find it quite frightening as well as very painful:( DQ how were the injections? I'm literally pooping...

Hi Red Mich :D The same thing happened to me and was the reason I gave Cambridge a break for a while.(Plus as I don't drive my dad used to take me to my CDC who lived an hour away in the stix) My dad had a massive heart attack one night, luckily I was there and we got an ambulance ASAP but the...

Hi Purple :D I'm on pain maintenance too. 400mg Tramadol & 5000mg Paracetamol (max doses a day). I’m waiting for spinal injections and possibly an operation the take away part of my disc so I totally understand your unbendyness! My doctor said codeine based tablets and Paracetamol together are...

See there are loads of us 20 somethings! Good luck! :talk017: Group hug!lol!:gen126:

I used to drink 4Litres throughout the day. It used to give me really bad back pain in my kidneys, I felt confused sometimes too. I don't have kidney problems before anyone says it either! My doctor told me 4Litres was too much for me and to only drink what your body wants. She said more than...

It is definitely the diet. The packs only really provide you with enough to keep going so there isn't really enough energy left to keep you warm when you’re running on empty!:winter_brr: But on the good side when your cold and drink cold water you lose more weight as your body uses more calories...

Maybe Cambridge would benefit from group sessions like Lighter Life? Living on packs and waters great for losing the weight but it doesn’t really address your food issues or prepare you psychologically.:eatdrink023: I know maintenance is supposed to help but I think we need to be prepared well...

Yup my TOTM is due now and all I can think of is eating the whole block of cheese in the fridge!:eatdrink012: Feeling quite unstable right now! lol:rolleyes:

Hey Leanne I'm 25 and on week 4 at the moment. It's hard going but if you don't cheat you will get good results!:D The only difference in age groups would possibly be that sometimes the older you are the harder it is to lose the Lbs.:confused: One of the downsides I find is that I feel a bit...

My legs are very muscular and even when I was a Ballet teacher and had a BMI of about 23 I couldn't fit into knee length boots. So if you don't fit into normal boots at the end of your journey don't worry about it. As with clothes everything is a standard cut and only tailored to fit the average...

Must just be me then!:rolleyes: lol:)

I was just wondering..... I'm nearly at the end of week 3 on SS. Today my scalp is very dry and flaky around my widow's peak. Don't usually get dandruff and I have not changed any of my hair products only my diet. Anyone else having this problem?:rolleyes:

Violets

Poison

It will be worth it in the end:D

Obsession

Maybe stepping upto 810 for a bit until your better will help? You must eat your packs though, you can't eat nothing:( Really hope you feel well soon:hug99:

I'm cold at night and don't sleep well. I always wake up with really sore eyes too:(

If it was affecting your work they could play the concern card:rolleyes: Seeing as they all know you are on a diet and not a secret Anorexic, no I don't think they can ask! If I was you I'd write down what's said and when, if it happens again put in a grievance:cool:

Jealous women can be very nasty and spiteful:mad: Tell them to naff off!:asskick: Or you could offer her your CDC number as she looks a little bloated herself after Christmas:rolleyes: LOL! But seriously ignore the silly sods!:D

I'm so glad I'm not the only one hopping on the scales every day! Thought I was going bonkers!:rolleyes:

It's none of her business! People are funny to me on this diet too and tell me not to do it I will die or be ill etc etc. I think it's 50% jealousy and 50% the fact they couldn't stick it themselves! Stuff em!:D

Advice whole heartedly taken from KD the Master of maintenance:D

Yep just wrap up warm:D

Yup I'm on week 3 and freezing! Last time I did CDSS for 6 weeks I was freezing the whole time too!:rolleyes:

Hey that's a great idea!:D Maybe if we all get together and concentrate hard enough:gen126: we could move your hoover for you!:party0038:

KD, No I know it’s not as simple as that:rolleyes: But unless you have the knowledge like yourself you won't ever know how to change it. You have lost a massive amount of weight and kept it off. Everyone can lose it with a bit of willpower and determination but it's definitely keeping it off...

KD, I probably shouldn't weigh every day! When it doesn't go down for a couple of days I get depressed, or when I seem to have miraculously put on 2lbs overnight when I'm 100% and guzzling water like mad! I know its normal; I just want to be healthy and happy again:D

I'm so impatient too!:rolleyes: I keep thinking I'm the same weight I was when I started ss even though I've lost 15lbs! It's weird!:8855:

I'm getting a little obsessed with the scales before bed and in the morning:rolleyes: Does anyone else feel like the scales don't move for 2 or 3 days even though they're 100% ss?:mad:

I think what KD said about set points is interesting, and confirms what I have always thought. You will be what you're supposed to be. Personally I would like to see this information rolled out in schools to educate our children and make them aware they can prevent it. Maybe it would even help...

Hey KD:) I think you may be right on the name. It's just the same as Cambridge (Apart from the yucky biopsy and insulin injections:jelous:) I think my cousin was 1 in about 20 on trial in her area. She lost alot of weight, but had a habit of not eating all of her packs and fainting...

I could just eat a whole christmas sized tub of dry roasted peanuts!:o

;)exercise;)

There is actually an NHS version being tested out. My cousins mother in law is a nurse and got her on the trial. Although on the NHS they take a biopsy from your stomach and bloods before and after you start to test fat levels. They also give you insulin injections in your stomach too! Lovely...

Well done! That's fantastic! You must be thrilled!:D

But surely if you’re hungry you need more calories? Why would you want to be burdened with semi-starvation for the rest of your life? Also wouldn't you end up too thin because of muscle loss from not eating enough or the wrong things? Sorry this probably sounds a bit negative but surely you...

Good luck!:D

Acropolis

It's worse when you're stressed, maybe when work calms down you might feel better? I've done this diet before and sailed through no probs for 6 weeks. This time I'm stressed about having a back operation and being on long term sick from work which I think is contributing to feeling low. I also...

I'm 3 weeks in also, I've had stinking flu and a terrible burning stomach. I lay down last night on the sofa because my stomach was burning with hunger again and ended up with a mouth full of acid, blueghh:jelous:I felt really high the first week, second week very low and ill, this week I'm...

Hi :) I weigh on both. I always weigh 1lb more at my CDC but thats just because I'm fully clothed! Go for the naked weight :D

Hi :) When I did the Atkins Diet my sticks were very dark. Nothing to worry about, just means your in strong ketosis and burning lots of fat. I wouldn't advise drinking too much water though, not worth shutting your brain down! Just keep going as you are :)

Hi:) Losing 4 stone is fantastic! Maybe do your workouts and reward yourself with a pack or bar instead that might help....

Hi :) I find I feel hungry when its that TOTM too. It's natural, your body just wants more calories to replace what you have lost. By the way you look beautiful! Go girl! :bunnydance:

Hi :) I drink black tea and coffee with sweetner but only a cup or two. As far as i know Caffeine puts your blood sugars up and makes you crave food.:rolleyes:

Cleaning your teeth helps if your hungry :)

Good luck!:D

Well done :clap:

Hi there :) Egg wont hurt you, theres no carbs. I don't think you need to quit the diet over it!:rolleyes: If your ill or really desperate stick to atkins food and it won't kick you out of ketosis. I'm not saying cheat but if your Ill your body needs extra to heal, it's really not worth risking...

Hi :) They look similar to the listerine oral strips. I would think they are allowed as they are calorie and sugar free? Wonder if they work.....

I had a small tin of tuna last night. Still felt sniffly this morning but throats a bit better so I'm still Sole sourcing. Tonight I'm feeling much better :) Thank you :D

Thank you :) Yes I think stepping up for a couple of days and avoiding carbs is probably the best option :) Just makes me feel a bit dissapointed though :(

Hello!:) I'm on day 11 SS, havn't cheated, have lost 13lbs, feeling very pleased with myself :D Today I woke up with incredible burning in my stomache, sore throat and sniffles. I think I may have caught flu from my significant other who has been vomiting and streaming with it for the last...
