There are a couple of new exercise games coming out that you can use with the wii fit that look good, look like a better workout that what you get from the wii fit, which isn't that great for serious exercise. I don't have the links but if you look on amazon you will find them, think they are...

Wow, that is amazing!!! And I was impressed with myself as in two weeks I lost 10lbs which is the exact weight of my month old nephew, and holding him yesterday was quite amazing! But that is nothing compared to a two year old!!!! :) bingbong

Hi everyone, I have heard different things about how long a tetra can be open, either 15 minutes (like the shakes after mixing) or all day, before you have to drink it. I want to be able to pour the tetra into a different container in the morning (they are hardly subtle in packaging and I...

That's great Pennyjane!! :) Bingbong

Tillyfloss, I have looked into it but she is the cheapest and most convenient. I just can't afford more and others seem to be at least £5 a week more, which adds up and I just can't afford it. I was doing fine and didn't need the support but lately I am really really struggling and I wish that I...

lol, enjoy! But I believe that you can add boiling water to the porridge as it is made taking that into account. bingbong

I haven't gagged at anything, haven't tried the soups though. I loved the strawberry at first and now I can't stand it, never tried it hot though so maybe that's worth a go. All of them are ok, favourite cold is vanilla and hot is choc, but quite like the butterscotch hot too. Have the choc mint...

I am meant to be writing a 3000 word essay too! But here I am distracting myself. Facebook seems to be quiet today so here I am! :) I have managed to get some written today but need to get cracking because after I finish this one I have to do an 8000 word essay! Hmmm, I wonder if that is why I...

Hi guys, I think that I need to join you today! I am day five today, back after a cheat (for a whole week, oops). I am really struggling, I want to loose weight and feel motivated but I am still not in Ketosis and I am hungry and feel pretty rubbish, and five days of feeling hungry and tired and...

I see my cdc in a garage that is used as an office, it is not attached to her home. I see her weekly, and it varies how long. Often 5 minutes but now and then a little longer. I think that the most is 20 minutes. She has never said anything about delivery, but I doubt it somehow. She has never...

Thanks guys, AG I really needed to read that right now!!! I ended up having a really bad week last week, I did one day on cd and ate for the rest of the week!!! ooops. And I ate heaps and heaps, can't believe how much I managed to put away, I just kept going and going. I think that part of the...

Hey Abz, I hope that day two is going ok hon!! And that you survived the smell of Subway. You will look lovely on your wedding day, I have no doubt about that hon. Bingbong xx

I agree, I did 5 weeks of cd 100%, not a single wobble or nibble. It was great. Then I took a planned break and since then I have struggled so much, and have cheated a few times. It was such an easy diet before for me and now it is so hard. bingbong

Hi abz, Sorry to hear that you put on 10lbs hon, as you say it is hopefully all hormonal and will go quickly!!! I hope so! Here's hoping that you get to less than your target for your dress fitting. You can do it hon, bingbong xx

Thanks AG, although if you read this post then you might not think that I have done so well!! Abz, how did you get on at wi hon? I hope that the 6lbs came off as quickly as it went on!! I haven't been very good this week. Have been really struggling with cd and have been having 4 shakes a day...

Hey abz, I hope that you get into the 13s!!!! I am 1/4lb off that so hopefully next wi... I am not totally sure what size I am at the moment!!! :D Hard to tell. I am about a 14 on the bottom I think, and 16-18 on the top I think. Hard to know as I haven't bought clothes in a while. I also wear...

A new decade for you and hopefully a new start on the diet :) Good luck Mel, it is not an easy diet but you do get amazing results. Just pop on here when your motivation is low, I always find something to read that helps!!! The first week is the hardest, so just remember that and keep going so...

I do get this sometimes, normally in the first week or so and then it passes, or if I haven't had enough fluids. I don't think that there is anything that you can do, try and pace your meals so that your body isn't too long in sugar, that might help. bingbong

Well I started again after a cheat and in 5 days I have lost 4lbs, so I would say that it is definately worth it from that respect. Good luck bingbong

I am on day 5 of a restart after cheating for the first time. First time I think it took me about 4 days to get into ketosis, then I had a planned break and got back into ketosis on day 4, despite having bars and water flavouring from the start. No probs at all. But then I cheated and had an...

Hey abz, Pleased to hear that you are doing ok. I think that sw sounds very complicated! And from what I know it doesn't really make sense how you loose weight. You will have to let me know how you get on with it please, as it is between that and ww for me to use after I finish CD. Which I tell...

So not such a good week this week! I went out for the meal and was perfectly behaved, I had chicken and salad and stayed in ketosis which I was very pleased with. But then on Wednesday when I was at uni I cheated. My head really wasn't in the right space and I was thinking about food a lot and I...

Hope the wi went well!! I am struggling to get back into ketosis after I cheated on wednesday, first time I have done that on cd and hopefully I won't do it again!!! Day 4 back on and I am still not in ketosis, apparently when you don't eat much it takes longer to get back into ketosis, which...

Hi, sounds like you are really confused!!! I can't help you with some of your questions, I am sure that someone else can. my cdc said to me that if I was struggling with water intake then it was better to have the flavouring than not have enough water, even before the third week. She also said...

as said a blender! No scales needed, for you or your food :) your cdc will weigh you and it makes a nice suprise when you haven't weighed yourself at home! I got some 1 litre bottles of water and never go anywhere without one!! You do need to drink a lot so they are very useful and give you an...

You can so wear the first one with black tights! I like them both but think that the first one is the winner :) And it is summery but that makes it even nicer! Brighten things up. Enjoy buying it and wearing it! bingbong

Well done!!! :) And it is 'selfish' posts like this that help to motivate other people!!! I am so close to not being obese and I can't wait, it is a big milestone and one that I am looking forward to!!! bingbong

I don't blend either, tried it once and preferred lumps :) I do blend the shakes, hate lumps in them! bingbong

my cdc said that there is one thing that you can eat that is SS+ at indian. I can't remember the name of it cos I hate indian, but it was chicken and started with a t!!! Don't know if that helps???? Sorry that you are having a tough time. I cheated on wednesday for the first time, and it has...

I drink at least 3 litres a day, and sometimes nearer 4 if not more. I don't force it, I find that I want to drink a lot on cd, plus the flavourings really help! I try and spread it, but do cut down a little in the evening to minimise the loo trips in the night! So I don't think that you are...

I hear that the fitness coach isn't worth it if you have wii fit. There are two fitness games coming out that use the balance board that look like they would be much better if you already have the wii fit, I mean you may aswell use the balance board if it is there! if you look at play.com they...

I love the bars, and thankfully they haven't slowed my loss down. I don't think that I could do cd without them. I have one for lunch every day. Yum! bingbong

If you are doing CD SS and not cheating then you will be in ketosis normally after 3-4 days. It means that your body is burning fat. Are you drinking a lot and testing in the day/night? Sometimes if I test in the later day I show that I am not in ketosis but that is just because I drink so much...

I was just thinking yesterday that they should do a white chocolate shake. Unfortunately it came to me when I cheated and ate some white chocolate. Annoyed to read here that heaps of you have thought of the same thing but probably didn't need to cheat and eat the real thing to come up with it...

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any gravy that you can have on SS+ that won't take you out of ketosis? Thanks bingbong

I found that I needed some new clothes quite quickly, and got jeans and a jumper that could go with everything. I just looked silly and I couldn't go to work like that! I haven't really needed to get anything for a while, got a few cheap t-shirts, but the jumper that I got still looks ok, I...

Jules, I was worried about the bars triggering me to want to eat, but thankfully they haven't done that! I was also worried about slower weight loss, but hopefully you can see that hasn't been the case either. I lost 7lbs this week eating a bar a day :) The cranberry and peanut are lower in...

The one place I haven't liked loosing from is my boobs! I don't want to have small boobs, and although they aren't small yet I am hoping that they don't shrink too much more!!! As said I would mush rather the fat went from my tummy or arms!!!! But yes, it is better to have smaller boobs than to...

Hi abz, that's great loss in the first week! Well done, I hope that you loose heaps this week too hon. I lost 7lbs this week :) so I have lost what I gained in America and 1lb more which is great. But...I am struggling. My head just doesn't feel in the 'zone' today and I just want to eat. It is...

Cinnamon is totally ok, in moderation. I add it to my porridge, hadn't thought of adding it to shakes though. Hmmmm, might have to try a spinkle on my chocolate tomorrow. Thanks for that! :) Bingbong

Well, I have been putting off posting here!!! I was not good when I was away, ate far more bad things than I should have. I did have salad most days for lunch :) but other than that I ate lots of carbs and naughty stuff. I did have a great time though! Came home on Monday and on Tuesday I...

Abz, that is fab news about the ww stuff!! How kind of her to keep it all for you, great to get given it and not have to pay. I hope that you are doing ok on it? I am no longer on CD. Am on my break for my trip to America. I feel very full, have eaten too much, and loads of carbs!! But it has...

I have porridge every night, I prefer it whisked with a fork then blended though. I add sweetener and then when cooked I sprinkle some cinnamon. Yum!!! I have had it every night for five weeks. Bingbong x

why can't you have mouse and water flavourings on the same day? I didn't think that there was any restriction on the water flavouring? Bingbong

I am in week 5 and I am definately moodier than normal, I can be fine and as said, someone will say something and I will bark back at them. It is not good!!! Bingbong

I have porridge every night, I hope that I don't go off it!!!! First week I loved the strawberry, can just about tolerate it now. It is strange how tastes change. I was worried with the bars that they would trigger me to eat, but they haven't! :) The peanut is not my favourite, it is nothing...

The goverment is always on about eating healthy etc, but it does cost more. I do feel for you hon, have been there many times before and it sucks. Good luck with the low-carbing, I hope that you can get back on CD soon. I realised today that if I loose 4.5lbs (which is what I lost last week)...

Well done!!! Bingbong

Hey, good luck with CD! I also suggest that you buy some extras, that way if you are hungry before you get into ketosis you can have an extra shake and not something worse! And it gives you choice. I loved the strawberry at first, but now really don't like it. My favourite is vanilla, which is...

Hmmm, Mat you make it sound so easy. I found giving up smoking really hard so to get to 12 weeks is great! However, I think that the lozenges will not be good for CD. Lozenges are normally full of sugar and you won't get into ketosis, which will make you hungry and loose less. If you need...

Get a new one Lizzy ;)

I had planned on having the odd bar, but today I bought my packs for week 5 and I got 7 bars, I just love them, having something to eat and they are good. I am not so keen on the peanut but hearing the carb difference maybe I should have more, I got my first cranberry bar today. Bingbong

Hey, it is best to stagger the water intake, but I don't think that 500ml will kill you :) I add cinnamon to my porridge, only a little but it really helps. I don't like the apple and cinnamon flavour. I also add a sweetener tablet. And as Georgie said, when you aren't hungry then you are in...

My family were supportive, although concerned about the VLC part of it. But they have put that aside and have been supportive, and they love seeing my weight loss. They are mainly worried about me maintaining the loss. It is great to tell who you are living with, so that they understand and can...

Oh I understand the broke thing, I am totally broke. My parent's are paying for my CD, otherwise I wouldn't be on it. They are paying cos they have always wanted me to be thin so agreed to pay. I hope that you can get back on it again soon, I have never been good at calorie counting, especially...

Sorry to hear that you are feeling lousy. Not nice and I hope that it passes quickly for you. I had a day where I felt really dizzy last week, was horrible but I got through it and have felt fine since. Good luck! Bingbong

Congratulations!!!!!!!! have a fab night! Bingbong

12-14, probably 12 on the bottom and 14 on the top, I am top heavy too. Bingbong

Hi abz, I am still going strong! You are right though, three weeks ago would never have thought that I would have lost so much. Tomorrow is wi for me, and it will be 4 weeks, and in those 4 weeks I have stuck 100% to CD. Cannot believe that, it is amazing. How are you doing abz? I have been ok...

I do hope that I don't balloon anywhere!!! I am hoping to loose more before I go so that I look okish in the t-shirts that I will be wearing, won't be able to hide under layers in Arizona! Thanks guys, Bingbong

Thanks so much everyone!!! So lovely to read all your messages and encouragement. I was totally obsessed with eating, couldn't think about anything else for ages. It was really horrible, I wasn't hungry, I was just really stressed and frustrated about something. Thankfully I rode it out and...

Hi all, I really really really really really really want to eat something!!!! I am into my fourth week of CD SS and I haven't strayed once, totally 100% which I am so amazed by and proud of. now and then I have fancied something to eat but it hasn't been too overwhelming, but today....I want...

Good suggestions with baths and phone etc. Just keep doing something, it is habit that makes you want to eat late at night I would think, you just need to break the habit. And keep drinking drinking drinking!!! Coming on here is a great suggestion, that always helps me. It does get easier! Bingbong

Do you think that you could ask her to not talk about food? It might do her some good by the sound of it!!! It is hard, and I have it too at work but I just don't join in and try and zone out if needed. Then when people are eating chocolate and their lunches I just think that one day I can do...

Hey, good luck for starting guys! I was so excited the night before I started that I couldn't sleep! The first few days are the hardest, I found day 3 I felt tired and weak and not happy, but from there it has only got better! Drink lots in the first few days until you are in ketosis, as that...

I am sorry that you don't feel supported by fam and friends. I find that coming on here really helps when I am not feeling so good, I can read about other people's struggles, or post about my own and someone I feel a little better. Maybe that's an option for you. Good luck for your restart Bingbong

Thanks everyone, I checked and of course there is sweetener in it, should have thought of that one! I think that must be it, which is a shame, I will just have to limit how much I have of it. I would have thought that the binding effect of CD would have compensated for it! Today I have been...

So after wi yesterday I came home and stood on my scales, that measure in kg. then this morning I stood on them again and it showed 2kg less, which is about 4lbs I think. That cheered me up! Put on a new cardigan and my mother thought that it looked looser than yesterday. I definately feel less...

I thought that might have been obvious. Yes it has! Strangely I nearly bought some laxatives today, good job I didn't as I certainly don't need them today! Bingbong

It is pale later in the day because all the water you are drinking dilutes the ketones in your pee, so they don't register. You aren't doing anything wrong. If you are doing 100% then you will be in ketosis. If you aren't hungry then you know, don't need to pee on a stick, which isn't easy I...

apparently if you dream that you are pulling chewing gum out of your mouth and it keeps coming and coming, you have swollowed a spider. gross! Bingbong

Hi everyone, Bit :ashamed0005: asking this but I am wondering if anyone has found that water flavouring has a laxative effect? It is the only thing that I can think of as I only started using it a couple of days ago and have had a bit of it but today I used it to mix 4 litres of water and so...

Hi Julie, I posted a post just like yours yesterday! I didn't stay the same but didn't loose much. I was told that a week three plateau is common, and that the bars do effect some people, but not a lot, and you only had one so should be ok. You are doing great and if you are sticking to it 100%...

Well, three weeks of doing CD 100%, can't believe that. It is amazing, I have never stuck to a diet 100% for even one week, let alone three. I feel really good about that. Had a mixed day today, started off trying on a load of jeans that have been too small. Was amazed that only one pair fitted...

day three was by far the hardest day for me, honest! Get through today and it will only get easier. Drink heaps of water, that's what I did when I felt hungry. Good luck! Bingbong

I was feeling much better until I read the last post!!! They don't take me out of ketosis though, so hopefully it is just a week 3 plateau. I try and have 4 litres of water a day, was probably having nearer 3 litres for most of the week. I am going to have more water, using the flavouring to...

Hi everyone, I had my week 3 wi today and only lost 2 1/4lbs. I did drink a little less than previous weeks this week, and I also had 4 bars this week, so am wondering if that slowed my loss down :confused: I really hope not as I like having bars and they are so easy for lunch when I am out so I...

me too, it's great. I just started using it yesterday and it makes drinking so much easier!!!! Bingbong

I didn't like the porridge at first but persisted and am so pleased that I did. Once i learnt how to make it right I enjoy it a lot and have it every night. Feels like a meal and is hot and tasty. I mix it with a spoon and add a sweetner tablet and the microwave it for a minute, stir and add a...

If you aren't hungry then I believe that is a good sign of being in ketosis. I would also suggest not to get the ketostix, if you are sticking to CD 100% then there is no need as you will be in ketosis. Well done on getting to day 3, that was the hardest day for me! Bingbong x

YAY!!! Well done you! Bingbong x

Good luck! I have porridge every night and really like it, once I learnt how i liked to make it. I mix mine with a fork and add a tablet sweetener, then microwave it for a minute and then stir it and add a sprinkling of cinnamon and mix that in. Then I eat it with a teaspoon as it makes it last...

Thanks guys! Nice to know that people are reading this. I haven't used my scales since, and certainly don't intend to do that again! I am planning to do CD and then once I am at my target weight go to ww or sw to learn how to stay there! I haven't written for a few days cos I have been so busy...

thanks for the reply. I don't know his weight but he is definately overweight and very unhappy with it. Thing is I don't know if he is committed enough to do CD or if it is just his mother that wants him to do it! Still, that's nothing to do with me. Can anyone confirm that it is 14? Thanks...

Hi, My friend has asked me if her son, who is 15 or 16 could go on CD. I would imagine that there is a minimum age but I forgot to ask my CDC so wondered if anyone here knew? Thanks. Bingbong

lol, thanks abz. I appreciated the pep talk and needed it at the time! Not having such a good day today unfortunately. Got up early so that I could start studying and get lots done, had an argument with my father who was being a child cos I was sitting in his seat at the kitchen table!!! And...

YAY!!!!! I lost 6 1/4lbs!!!!!! :D I totally didn't think that I was going to have lost anything, and driving to my CDC I was trying to prepare myself for the possibility of having put on!!! I really don't feel like I have lost, my jeans don't feel any looser and My tummy feels quite bloated. I...

I would like to say that I want something to nibble on, but that probably isn't good for my long term maintanence as I need to learn not to pick!!! I agree with others though, something savoury to eat would be good! I am having my first bar tonight and can't wait, although they are smaller than...

Cambridge

I drink 4 litres a day of water. No tea or coffee but my CDC said that I could have one can of coke zero a day, so I have one on the days that I want one, maybe 4 times a week. I lost 10lb in week 1 and today is wi but don't think that it will show much (totm). Bingbong

Well another day done :) not an easy one though. Still feeling quite low and demotivated with the lack of weight loss yesterday. I am going to keep going until Friday's wi and see what that says. Today I was actually watching people eat and hating them, cos they can eat and I can't. Silly...

That's great to know!!! And well done on your weight loss! Bingbong

Well done Donny!!!! Hopefully that will get you through the next week :) Bingbong x

I'm the opposite, I lost 4lb in 3 days in week 1 and now in day 4 of week two I have lost nothing more than I did in week 1!!! It is so disheartening, I am going to try and stay away from the scales. Make sure that you drink heaps, that helps. Bingbong x

It's really annoying not being able to do things!! I want to write more in my signature and I can't until my rep power goes up. Bingbong x

I found day 3 the worst, wanted to be in bed all day, just felt rough. I took it easy and the next day I felt heaps better. Hopefully you will too. Bingbong x

Well done Fatfrog!!! Starting is sometimes the hardest bit. Sorry that you didn't like the soup, and good on hubbie making you a shake. I have only had shakes and have liked every one that I have tried, so hopefully you will find more that you like! Good luck! Bingbong x

Thanks abz! Unfortunately not having such a good day today. Yesterday my mother told me that I don't look as though I have lost any more weight. So this morning I got on the scales and she is right, same as I was at wi. I was so dissapointed, and unhappy. Went to go to work and had a major...

:D sleepy bird!!! That really made me smile. Thanks guys, I so hope that you are right and that something has come off by wi. Not sure what I will do if not. Until then I just need to make sure that I get to the end of the day without cheating :sigh: and then to Friday for wi. And will try and...

Shortie, I suggest that you go to www.fertilityfriends.co.uk a forum for people with infertility issues. You will get heaps of support with the IVF, but if you go to the technical area you can request to join the Belly Club there, where you will find heaps of people trying to loose weight for...

Wow!!! That's great, well done. Hope that you reach your goal. Bingbong

Thanks guys, I really hope that you are right and I will loose something this week. And that this is just a blip, for whatever reason. It's all my mothers fault, she told me yesterday that I didn't look like I had lost anymore this week! I normally drink a lot of water so 4 litres isn't much...

Hi all, I am day 4 into my second week and in the first week I lost 10lb which I was so happy about, but this morning I got on the scales and I haven't lost anything since then. That's 4 days of total 100% CD, 3 shakes with 4 litres of water. What is that about???!!!!! I don't understand how...

sneeze

x-ray (ooops, obviously didn't read what I was clicking on, sorry.)

I like the sound of a flat rate whatever you order. I pay £1.75 per shake/soup/porridge. bars are extra. ketostix £6. and the drink flavours are £6 too.

twinkle

This thread just shows how different everyone is! Miss Mallow, my CDC suggested that I get 28 shakes the first week, so that if I was hungry then I could have 4 a day instead of 3. I didn't need to but it was great knowing that I had them there if needed and it meant that I could try a few of...

Day 9 down! :) Been pretty easy today, I am so stressed about uni work that food is way down on the pecking order of things to think about! But, when I study I tend to eat more, so that is going to be interesting. I measurred my water intake for the first time today, just wanted to check that I...

Blimey, I had decided to try them and now having read the last few posts I think that maybe I need to rethink that!!! I am just finding that my taste buds are missing tasting!! The shakes are yummy but I want a stronger flavour, and was hoping that the bars would help. But I really don't want...

So day 8 is nearly over and still going strong. Have been kinda hungry today, not really hungry but my tummy felt more empty than usual and I wanted to have something to fill it. Made do with water water water. My sister cooked salmon pasta tonight, which is yummy and boy did I want some. Well...

I have had more wind than normal since starting CD, especially in the first few days. Thankfully no pain involved. Wonder if we can take the anti-wind tablets to help or if they are against CD. I haven't started the bars yet though, hope that they don't have that effect on me!!! BB x

Pleased that you sorted something else out. £20 sounds like a lot!!! Good luck for Monday, keep drinking heaps as that really helps. I am on day 8 and it does get easier, day 3 was hardest for me but once you get over that it gets better. Good luck and keep posting! BB x

hmmmm, thanks guys. But now I am more confused than ever!!! :confused: I don't want to slow my weight loss down, or to not feel satisfied, but the thought of chewing on something with some taste seems very appealing really. I miss strong tastes!!! BB x

Wow, that's a great loss!!! Well done!!! And Grandma, your ticker is very impressive! Bingbong x

Hi all, I am on day 8 of CD SS and so far so good! Amazingly I am hardly tempted to eat, and have stuck to it 110% :D I am just wondering about the bars though. I love the shakes and porridge but it would be nice to have something to chew on now and then but from what I hear they are nice and...

Thanks abz, looks like you are doing well from your goals!!! I had my WI and I have lost an amazing 10lb in the first week!!!! I am sooooo happy about that. My CDC was amazed, she said that the most that she has known is 8lb, but I know someone else who did 10 so I am not a freak. lol. It's...

Didn't get to post yesterday. I was at uni and didn't get home until late. Had an ok day, was hardish as everyone was eating loads of chocolate and crisps, and kept offering me stuff. I didn't want it, but still. I also found it hard to drink enough which isn't good. And no one said that I had...

Kerry I really hope that you stuck it out! For me today, day 4 has been so so much better!!!! I am feeling really good and have drunk heaps and am going really strong :) so happy!!!!! And really hope that it lasts. My favourite shake is the strawberry, and I seem to have worked out the...

Hi everyone, I am on day 4 today of SS and it has got so much better! Yesterday was horrible, I was tired and hungry and miserable. Today I have been heaps better. My favourite is the strawberry to, but I do like others. I just had to do my order via email for next week and that was hard...

Thanks for the messages guys, it really means a lot and has helped!!! I am feeling a lot better (in a still feeling rubbish but feeling better about feeling rubbish kind of way). I went out tonight and saw some friends and that really helped. It sounds like tomorrow will be hard too and then...

Day 3 and not a good day. Didn't sleep well, was hungry in the night and woke up feeling low. Got on the scales and I have lost 4lb in two days, so that did help! But I just haven't been feeling good today. Had to force myself to walk the dogs, spent two hours in bed this afternoon, not really...

Hi everyone, I am on day 3 of CD SS and I am really struggling today :( I have not been sleeping the last couple of nights which isn't helping (is that coincidence or do people not sleep on CD?), and in the night I was really hungry. Today I feel terrible, just want to be in bed. I am not...

Thanks Tracey!!! I feel like I am doing ok but am worried that it is going to get a lot harder soon!!! Feeling slightly hungry for the first time, will keep drinking and drinking!!! BB x

Hi all, Last night I tried porridge and I really didn't like it, but I think that it was too thick. From what I have heard there are heaps of different ways of mixing porridge and so I wondered what the different ways were and they I could try them and hopefully find one I like as I like the...

no rumble tums here! Day two is going pretty well, easier than day 1 and I am thinking about eating less. Have had a constant headache all day, just low and there but ok. I heard that people get headaches so it was to be expected but hope that it doesn't last too long! Had banana for breakfast...

Ok, today was day one. It is now 9pm and I have had three shakes so am done food wise for the day. Started with strawberry for breakfast, it was suprisingly nice. I drank lots of water which kept me feeling full. Did find that I want to pick when I am in the kitchen, didn't realise how much I...

Thanks Bonzo, I am trying to write an assignment, which isn't a great distraction really! I have thought about food heaps, although I am not hungry which is good. Trying to drink lots, but getting a bit bored of water (already!). One thing is that there has been lots of food in the house, and...

Hi everyone, I started CD this morning so wanted to say hi!! I had a strawberry shake which was suprisingly nice but a little powdery so I obviously didn't blend it enough. Trying to decide what flavour to have for lunch. I have been given 4 packs a day, but am trying to have 3, figured that it...

Great! Thanks for that, easily cleared up. I don't take any medication so that shouldn't be a problem. Now I just have to actually call the CDC!!! Might call a few to see whether there is a difference in the pricing too. Thanks Bingbong

Hi, I have just joined this forum :wave_cry: and want to do a VLCD. From what I hear CD is way better than LT, so would rather do that. But I am really confused about whether my GP needs to sign a form before I can do it or not. It seems everywhere that I read tells me something different so was...
