I drink about 2 1/2 - 3 litres a day, have water flavouring with some of that. Once your focused it's such a fantastic diet. I've got about 3 stone left to lose and I want to do that by the end of March too. It is do-able, especially if you've got something to aim for. How have you been getting on?

Hi Bride10 I haven't posted on here for a while but I've just read your post and thought 'snap'. I was full of good intentions for over Christmas but once the kids were in bed last night I started to nibble on the choccies. I 'fully' enjoyed today but gave myself until 7pm and then that was it -...

My dentist also recommended a tongue scraper! It's great, couldn't live without it now. Doris x

Hi Daisy I use one and as far as I'm aware they are fine. My weight losses have been fine. I am really conscious of my breath and even carry a toothbrush and paste around with me! Doris x

Hi I had the exact same dilemma the other day. I can home from work with a raging sore throat but didn't want to take anything that would possibly throw me out of ketosis. So I bought one of those throat sprays that is an antiseptic and an anaesthetic and it has worked a treat. Hope that helps...

My CDC was really helpful and gave me a booklet that has been produced by Cambridge especially for Doctors. I went armed and ready to be challenged but thankfully the Dr was fine about. Although I did have to stand my ground when it came to wanting to charge me £22 for a signature. Argued my...

I reckon you will easily lose half a stone, if not more in 10 days. Once you get into the swing of it it's great. I have loads more energy too. Keep going, you'll do great xx

WoW, not only have you lost 2 stone but you've dropped 2 dress sizes aswell. Amazing, well done :happy096:

I love the bars, although I too wouldn't have them every day. I used to have only 1 or 2 a week and then save 1 for a Saturday night treat. If I took 1 to work then I would chop it into pieces and I could make it last a good hour. I do find them filling but haven't tried the cranberry or peanut...

I too am looking forward to wearing the clothes that have been sat in my wardrobe for the last year! I've worn the same few items for work since September as I refuse to buy a bigger size, goodness only knows what my colleagues think lol. Because I could still fit into some of my clothes I was...

Wow, you must feel fantastic. You do truly look like a totally different person! Well done, inspiring :-)

Many thanks. I really enjoyed the peas as well :-(. Could have been worse I suppose, could have been chocolate or worse still... my ultimate weakness...... bread!!!!

Hi All I'm sure there was a post not long ago about what you could have but I can't for the life of me find it! As I read the list in the book it doesn't include green peppers and yet if you turn the page there is a recipe that includes green pepper! Also, another question, do you think peas are...

I went to a 'do' last year, when I was slimmer, had a fab time and had loads of pictures taken. This year when I went to the same annual do I was 3 stone heavier, still had a goodish time but have only got 2 pictures of myself there. The reason being is that I thought I looked pretty good, chose...

Hiya I started on the 810 plan on Saturday and getting on really well. I was a bit apprehensive about having a small amount of food - thought it may lead to a bit of a binge - but I know once I've eaten it then that's it. I'm also in ketosis already and have got loads of energy - currently...

Hi I absolutely love the bars and would eat all the time if possible!! However, my CDC advises to only have them once a day, I think it's to do with the carbohydrate content. LittleDoris x

Hi I have a 'friend' who never actually said anything to my face about not approving of my diet but to anyone else that would listen she would slate it! And yes, she has a weight issue too!! What upset me more was the fact that it was a dig at me and what I was doing instead of her being...

Hi All Returned to CD after a break ( and a small weight gain-oops!) and I always find that as soon as I start the diet food suddenly becomes the big talking point. For example; cake sale at school, birthday cakes to be made. And to top it all off I switched on Daybreak and they were discussing...

Thanks guys xxxxxxxxxxxx

You will be absolutely fine. I find the drive over to my consultant a nightmare - the anticipation and excitement! You've stuck to the diet 100% so you have nothing to be nervous about, you should be feeling extremely proud of yourself. Very well done, look forward to seeing how you get on...

Hi all I'm sure this has been said before, and no doubt it will crop up again, but honestly if our 'friends' don't agree with the diet then why can't they keep there opinions to themselves and just give us their support. This is the first time this as happened to me and it has left me feeling...

I have many reasons for doing this diet - most importantly for my health - but another is to fit into a lovely dress for a summer do we have coming up. We went to a Christmas do and even though I had a 'nice' dress I still felt self conscious and a little uncomfortable. Well, last night I came...

What a great way of thinking, I shall remember that next time I feel the urge to eat something I shouldn't xxx

Charlotte K - your weight loss is absolutley amazing. You must be feeling very proud of yourself, a true inspiration xxx

I think I just found it worse today because I wasn't at work, just pottering around. Didn't even have the motivation to go shopping!! :eek:

Thanks for the info, thicker jumper tomorrow me thinks. Or, if through shivering you burn more calories then I may have to wear less!! Every little helps :giggle:

That's amazing, well done xxx

I know the weather isn't great at the moment but I am feeling so cold :winter_brr: I have the heating turned up and have a jumper and my cosy cardi on and yet I just can't seem to warm up. I'm getting really close to wrapping myself up in my duvet! I can't get motivated to get up and make a...

It is so difficult not to feel down after you have strayed a little, however I do agree that you have to draw a line under it and refocus on your long term goals. I've found the last couple of days a bit tough and really want to eat something but it's not because I'm hungry, I just want to eat...

I think it is terrible that some Dr's won't sign the form and then if they do they have the cheek to charge for it. It took my Dr's a week to get the form back to me and then they wanted to charge me £22 for it. The actual Dr that signed my form was great and really supportive and when I asked...

Hi All Thank you so much for all your lovely posts. The support you get on here is just fantastic and so motivating :clap: ****We can do it****

Hi Annie I really love the wide choice of shakes/soups, porridge and bars. The bars, I think, you can have after 2 weeks but I'm seeing that as a treat for when I reach one of my mini goals so haven't tried them yet. I've got so much energy and feel great. My consultant is wonderful too, really...

WOW, that's amazing, you must be feeling great. I'm about 5 weeks into the diet so this has given me real motivation to cary on. :clap:

Hi I only started the diet at the end of January at I have already lost 24lbs. It is by far the best decision I have ever made and I am so determined to do it. My first few days on the diet were a bit tough - headaches mainly - but after that I felt great and still do. I don't get hunger pangs...

I too did the diet a couple of years ago and lost 3 stone in 3 months and felt fab. Unfortunately I didn't follow the maintenance program and gradually the weight went back on and a bit more. I have a 'friend' that has said to me it was because I did the CD that is why I put it all back. Hang on...

Hi All Just wanted to say how great I feel today. I have managed to fit in a short walk - every little helps - for the past few days and even took the kids swimming yesterday. The thought of being seen in a swimming costume filled me with dread but I thought what the heck and we had a fantastic...

Hi All I love the suggestions about what to do in an evening, I'm finding that a bit of struggle too. I didn't really help myself last night by watching come dine with me ( even though I'd seen that particualr one before) and then carried on the torture by watching Mastechef!!!! :banghead...

Hi all I started ss on the 31/01/10 and have so far lost 11 lbs and i'm feeling great :happy036: Suffered from a few headaches over the first 3 days and I found that really tough, nearly caved in if I 'm honest, but I stuck it out and now have more energy and don't feel hungry at all. Look...

Thanks Bluepaws. If I do have a drink I can imagine it going straight to my head!!:party0016:

Hi I've just started back on the diet after a couple of false starts and was wondering how alcohol effects your weight loss. The reason I ask is that I have a party to go to later and I know that the drinks will be flowing. I feel I will be able to avoid food by having a shake before I go but I...

Hi Karen Just having a look aroubd the sight and noticed that I started on the diet the same time as you. How's it going? Emma
