Hello my darlings...I'm back on SS :) Have had a horrible week and a bit plus was TOTM and slipped back into comfort eating :( TBH was terrified of getting back on the scales ...... attempted it yesterday and managed to gain 7 lb :eek::cry: Ah well no sense in crying over spilt shakes I guess...

I promise to do better!!!

Hi guys....... Sorry I've not been around....I have not been having a great time this week...and have gotten off track in a number of areas including CD:( .... Am starting to pull myself back together though and will be back doing SS on Monday. Im so sorry to have let you all down and hope...

Arrrrghhh landlubbers ahoy

How about this one? :)

Ahoy there.......can I be an apprentice pirate....arrrrrrr..can I can I ....please :)

Ahoy there me hearties :) I left you all a little present on our thread :)

Just updating this week :) Well done everyone so far!!!!! IndianPrincess, I have added you to the bottom of the list along with your target. Good luck :) Becky -35lbs Purple Hugs - 35lbs - 6/6/ 12lbs Total lost Sarette - 35lbs - 3/4 - 7lbs lost Cat Bee - 36lbs - 12lbs lost Junika - 35lbs...

:happy096: Yay Frantastic well done!!!!!!!! I didn't do as well as you last week. I lost 4 lbs And especially for the pirates ......

Where is everyone? :)

Water is definitely the key :) Unfortunately, I woke up feeling hungry today and all I can think about is food, so am trying desperately to keep my mind off it :(

How is everyone today ? :)

You can exercise but should only do as much as you feel comfortable with. The first couple of weeks you are unlikely to do anywhere near as much as you would normally be able to do.

I used to feel really nauseous each time I had a shake/tetra/soup. One thing I found that helped me was to make sure I had drunk water before hand and to alternate mouthfuls of shake etc with water. I think I remembering reading somewhere that some people feel nauseous as a result of the...

Hi guys....just wanted to float an idea amongst you lovely people.......what would you guys think of team 23 'twinning' with team 22. Most of us seem to know peeps from team 22 and they all started recently as well. I'm not suggesting that we combine the teams - the friendly rivalry is good fun...

The picture is fine Mat - nothing to be embarrassed about at all. You are brave to put it up and it will be a great visual record for you. I wish that I was that brave!

Awww thanks guys :) ..... and GO TEAM!!!! We're all doing *so* well :) Hope everyone is doing ok today :)

I certainly couldn't cope with just the shakes as I can't stand them. At the end of the day you are her customer .... and it's your choice but it's going to be a lot harder for you with a CDC with that attitude. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck :) And you are always...

Only the shakes?????? you should be able to have shakes, soups and tetras from the start! She dosn't sound supportive at all. Personally, I would switch to someone else. Having alcohol is a big no no when you are in Ketosis, but a supportive CDC can help you decide what to do about the wedding...

No probs..... we're all a team :) Have a good time the Haka sounds fun!

*Absolutely* ..... TOTM you can retain a load of water! You have probably lost more weight than the scales show but if you have also retained a load of water you won't see the effect on the scales. You are likely to see a *huge* loss once you lose that water!!!! btw don't forget that 1 litre...

People do. Honest!! A lot depends on how much you have to lose and how long it takes you to get into ketosis. For example, my BMI is over 10 more than yours!!!!!! It will work for you. Now that you're in Ketosis you are burning fat. Keep going and you'll be really chuffed in 2 weeks Enjoy your...

Hun, you haven't let anyone down. It can take a few days for people to get into Ketosis properly and missing one weeks WI won't affect you being in the team. Will you have access to some scales over the next 2 weeks so you can see your progress? Just think, when you get to have your WI in two...

Yep ..but I did only have 2 packs that day and was *extremely* careful with the amount of chicken and lettuce I ate. Not recomending it though! I was just trying to explain to Fran that when you absolutely can't get out of something then it's not worth stressing over just be sensible over what...

Hi Joolz1975, I personally had a killer headache on the evening of day 2 and felt like death but woke up on day 3 feeling much better and on day 4 was feeling positively bouncy. It does get better with time honest :) Good luck :)

Frantastic, I have the same problems. In my job there are just some occasions when you *have* to go out for a meal with a client/colleagues etc and when not doing so could harm your career. In those situations I do what you do .... I have a chicken salad no dressing or something similar but...

And here was I thinking Team 22 and Team 23 should feel the love ;)

I know it's great isn't it.....kinda liberating not to feel v hungry :)

Aww bless you miss cheeky *hugs*

Coedine shouldn't be taken on an empty stomach either. Hope you feel better soon PH *Hugs*

I'm kinda hoping that he can be my stand-in and if I go back to bed no one will notce ;)

I got talked into building a snowman by one of my installation guys :)..... he really had to twist my arm :)

Woohoooo frantastic :talk017::happy096::talk017: Frantastic...that is fantastic.....well done :) PS. May apologies everyone...I seem to be in an annoyingly perky mood today..and I haven't even had my first coffee !

:talk017: Woohooo.....well done Purple Hugs and Louie!!!! Love ya all really team 22 :)

ooooooh...you an *evil* one ;)

not the chocolate cakes *gasp* ;)

Team 23 Vs Team 22 ? ;)

That's great ...... you lost over a stone without even realising it!!!!!! I would see how you feel / look when you get close to 11.5 stone. You can always adjust your goal weight.

Yippee :) BTW guys, I have found a really fantastic liquid breath mint drop thing called ice drops from my local chemists. One of the drawbacks of Ketosis is the yucky mouth and you're not supposed to use chewing gum and breath sprays always taste really mediciney to me. One drop of these ice...

Yay for the logo .....and yippee for my 50 post....PM me PM me ;)

Well done Mum of 4 Boys and eyeontheprize :happy096:

:8855:lol. At the moment I'm working on a construction site as a process engineer. WHilst the blokes loo is closer, the closest ladies toilet is in the office block *miles* away (or so it seems) :)

Good luck Frantastic.......I shall keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. Although I was lucky to have a really good loss in my first week, I think that it evens out over time......will probably be a teeny tiny loss for me this week. A lot depends on your body, how much you have to lose, how...

Why Mat...what a mind.....:) Good morning all.....is everyone ready for a bright new CD day ?

I love the wii fit....another game that I got but didn't think I'd like that much...is samba d'amigo......it's fantastic especially if you get the maraccas to go with......it really exercises your arms, even if you look like a lunatic doing it :)

Trust me....the water is forcing me to do it...I tend to try to put off the hike as long as possible ....hence the one direction often done at a trot ;)

Mind you .....for a while there I was going in and out of the hotel room at all hours day and night......I think the hotel staff were wondering exactly what my job was ;)

:) If it makes you feel better ..... I also had to climb a 30ft ladder last week....and don't forget the sneaky haircut ;) Seriously though...I'm sure it will even out over time!!! 7.5 lbs is really great!!! So far today .....5 trips @ 250 steps each way! One of them ended up at a very fast...

Yay Mat........have you decided what you are going to try first ? My day was good thanks.......apart from the bit where I was trying to read a nameplate on a pump and had to contort myself around some pipework and almost got stuck with one of the guys laughing at me.....on the bright...

Hi, everyone seems to end up liking very different combinations of shakes / soups / tetras.....The first one I tried was a chocolate shake which I couldn't stand, it almost put me of to but then I tried a chicken and mushroom soup and really liked it. Everyone is different I guess that's why...

Yay......we're officially mission slimpossible :) How did everyone's day go?

Hey guys.....risking my admittedly dodgy maths skills this morning..... I added up the total amount we have lost so far...... 126.5 lbs that's a whole (shortish) person WOW!!!! Then I got carried away - can you tell I'm avoiding work atm - and added up the total amount we have set as a target...

oops :ashamed0005: My maths skills aren't working this morning......and me an engineer.....remind me not to do any chemical calculations this morning I'd probably blow someat up ;) A third of the way is still a *fantastic* milestone though!!!!!!! Yay for you :) Catbee - your loss of 9lbs is...

BerryRed, 2.5lb is fantastic you should be really pleased with yourself......and just think next week you will not only have dropped to that stone mark but well below it :) Plus - looking at your stats - that 2.5 lb has taken you over halfway in your total amount to lose!!! :happy096:Way to go!

:happy096: Way to go Angel and Loved-Up!!! thats fantastic! I'm limbering up for the 'Water your way to fitness' challenge.... :) PS It is nice to find so many other nutty folk :)

I have the kenwood smoothie to go blender...it's about £15 to 19 but is fantastic......you basically screw a blade attachement on to a big travel mug thingy , tip it upside down and screw it into the base, blend, then take it off and swap the blade screwed bit for a travel mug top and away you...

My vote would be for mission slimpossible :) Morning all :)

Good luck for wednesday....I shall keep my fingers and toes crossed for you :) I struggled with the amount of water too......I started off by drinking out of a 1.5l bottle of water....figuring that I needed to drink 2 of those a day.....now I use a 750ml evian bottle and drink at least...

Fantastic....I'm glad you're feeling better :)

Thanks....I have spent today grinning like a lunatic....not quite sure what the guys I work with made of that ;)

I had my first WI today and I lost 13 lbs...can now fit in to 1 size smaller jeans....I'm dead chuffed :) How are you getting on Fran?

Yay.....I just had my WI today for my first week......not sure if it counts to this weeks lossess but it was -13 lbs. Good luck everyone :)

I was really nauseous when I tried the shakes.....I just couldn't stomach them.....at the moment I have a choc tetra split between cups of black coffee to make a tetra......good way of having a CD meal at work without everyone commenting...and a soup, normally chicken and mushroom with added...

Yipppeee ......

I think it enhances pre-existing nuttiness.......let's face it we must be *slightly* nuts to start the diet in the first place :) I know that the guys I work with have placed me squarely in the bonkers category given the number of times I fill up my water bottle and then disappear 15 mins later...

How about the 'wash it all out' diet. We could also flog it purely as an exercise aid...I can see the advert now.......'Sat behind a computer ll day?????.....not able to get your cardio exercise without getting funny looks from others???......simple do the 'wash it all out diet' and let your own...

:8855:We could.......I guess it's a sneaky way of ensuring people get their exercise ;)

I'm kinda guessing that coz I had a good loss in the first week....next week will be teeny tiny......I guess it all evens out in the end :) Good luck to you 2 Erin.....it's nice that we are only 2 days apart starting...it will be nice to see how each other's doing :)

Thanks guys.....yay now I feel like I belong :) It's nice to meet you all :)

I would very much like to join your team....but don't want to be the cause of any hassle :)

Now I'm confused......

Hi guys, I started last Monday...so 5 days early...but would love to join your team if this doesn't disqualify me?

Well.....the nearest ladies toilets to my desk where I work is a good fast7/8 mins walk away....if you combine that with all of the water...... ;) Plus I got a couple of inches cut off my hair :) . I probably have more to lose than you......9lbs is fantastic and you still have a whole day to...

My apologies...I had asked if you still had any spare spaces but since then...I have joined another team....best of luck to you all :)

Hi all......I would really like to join a team.....are any of the vacancies mentioned above still available?

Thanks guys :D I am really chuffed. Well done Blitsy on another 6lb...two weeks in a row...that's fantastic. Good luck to everyone else.

Mine do to.....I thought it was just me.

1st WI today...and have lost 13 lbs :D:D:D yay!! Have a lovely week all! Becky -35lbs Purple Hugs - 35lbs - 6lbs lost :scale: Sarette - 35lbs - 3lbs lost Cat Bee - 36lbs - 4lbs lost Junika - 35lbs - 4lbs lost Miss_unknown - 35lbs Yummy Mummy xx -35lb Catssseyes - 35lb -5lb georgie12345-34lb-...

Thanks guys......I must confess .....I ended up dancing round the living room in the jeans like a loon ......good thing I have no near neighbours!!!!!

I have trouble with the shakes as well...they really put me off...currently I'm mainly living on chicken and mushroom soups and chocolate tetras......I split the choc tetra between a few cups of black coffee to make a mocha. Good luck :) The first few days are the worst....in my limited...

I am soooooo excited :) I went out and bought 18 jeans to use a guide to my weightloss.....and amazingly they fit!!!!!! I was struggling with a pair of size 20 jeans last monday and today is only day 6...... I am sooo chuffed :). WI tomorrow...I cant wait:D:D:D:D:D:D

Well done 6lbs is fantastic with slim fast. :happy096:

Thanks for your help :)

Awww bless you. look after yourself and I hope you feel better soon

I would really appreciate it if someone could give me advice about the things you can add to the soups to make them nicer. I know that you can add pepper but that salt is a no go. Is tabasco ok? and are there any other things that can be added to improve the flavour? Thanks :)

Morning all.....so far today I have drunk 1 litre of water and had half a choc tetra mixed with coffee...I'm really struggling today and it's only day 3 :sigh: Still a chicken and mushroom soup coming up in a bit :) What things do you guys do to keep yourselves upbeat when you have a bad day?

Hi guys, thanks for letting me join in. I am bowing to your greater knowledge and aiming for 35 as that seems to be the average. Fingers crossed, am only on day 3 though so long way to go! Good luck everyone :) Becky -35lbs Purple Hugs - 35lbs Sarette - 35lbs Cat Bee - 36lbs - 4lbs lost Junika...

Hi, I have just started SS and wondered if it was too late to join your easter challenge? I tried CD once before and lasted about a week, a combination of bad attitude towards it, lack of support and a nightmare at work. This time I (think) am in a much better frame of mind, work has calmed...
