    so how's everyone doing? I've tried the choc tetra ice cream, it was yum!! I've got my WI tomorrow :) I'm still getting headaches but I don't think it's due to carbs withdrawl as I've been in ketosis for a few days now. I'm going to try to increase my water intake even more and see if it helps.

    I am so tempted too; and I haven't been making any so I can imagine how much harder it must be for you to resist. To put you off: Serving Size: 1 oz = Calories: 54.9, Fat: 0.7g, Carbs: 10.4g, Protein: 1.5g and that's tiny w/o any topping :(

    local anesthetic and SS

    Probably best to get an answer from someone who works in the medical field. I'd recommend that you call your GP or speak to a nurse and let them know you are on a VLCD. Personally I'd go up a few steps just in case.
  29. Forest290

    Cancellation Policy?

    There isn't a cancellation policy; you see your CDC to buy your packs, if you can't make an appointment let your CDC know so you can re-arrange. If you wish to quit just be honest with them... They can refund your unused CDC meals too.

    should you be in ketosis on ss+ and advice ??

    On SS+ you should be in Ketosis. Are you sticking to the portion size and allowed food? The average weight loss is between 12-14lbs a month on SS+ so I can see why you're so disappointed. Talk to your CDC; if you're sticking to the portions etc your weight loss should be much greater. Otherwise...

    1st weigh in SS 100%

    The first week is usually the biggest loss - especially if you've stuck to it 100% so I can understand why you're disappointed. Maybe it's taking your body a lil longer to adjust and you'll see better results next week. Was it your totm as well? As this seems to slow down the weight loss for...

  40. Forest290

    ***Team 2 CD W8 Warrior Princesses!***

    It will take about 2-3 days to get back in ketosis. As of the horrible possible side effects they vary from one person to the next; but you might go through the hunger, headaches etc again. Just keep on drinking your water and think of the gorgeous dress you'll be wearing in June :D

    Hair Loss

    Yes hair loss can happen on this diet from what I've read on this forum. This is why I started taking nail & hair vitamins - to be on the safe side. I use Boots own brand, they are also on 3 for 2 so about a tenner for 3 mths worth; and they haven't changed my ketosis :)

  46. Forest290

    ***Team 2 CD W8 Warrior Princesses!***

    To work out the results you need to divide the amount you've lost by the weight you were the previous week. ie for me: I was 200lbs last week and this week I lost 6lbs so my percentage is: 6 / 200 = 0.03 then you multiply by 100 for a percentage result = 3% Our result will still get accepted...

  53. Forest290

    Considering CD, opinions please

    CD is great because you will lose weight much quicker than WW (average is a stone a mth) - but it is a bit harder especially in the first 3 days (about) 'til you're in Ketosis. If you're determined than CD is really great - but be prepared to give up on food for a while.

    Wow!! Well done Lucy, that is amazing!! :D Thanks for the advice, I'm going to start my research on low carb meals :) I haven't been drinking as much today; I was scared of needing the loo on the way to the dentist or way back home - as it takes an hour each way... anyway; don't need to go...

    Nice new avatar too Nicola :P Yeah it would be great to have one for our signatures. I only know how to use Paint so I doubt I can make anything great lol.

    I'm out of tetras - only had 2 choc ones; but will stock up next time and try them as an ice cream and mousse too :P I still get one cd meal for tonight so will try the hot chocolate version; all this chocolate talk is making me hungry now lol. PS- like the new avatar :P ?

    ooh prawns; sounds tasty :P I might have to give SS+ a go by the end of next week so I can have one low cal meal. Reason: got relatives visiting including my mum and she would go nuts if she found out I was only having 100% "diet" shakes. I know it will be a really hard time watching them all...

    just having it - it's really salty isn't it; hmmm could make some nice crisps or popadoms maybe. Do you girls cook much with your cd sachets? I haven't tried any recipes yet.

    On my day one

    The first few days are the hardest so hang in there :) I'm on day 4 and in ketosis since yesterday; feel much better now. I'm on 100% cd meals - 4 of them a day; I find it easier than being tempted with real food, especially for the beginning.

    Feb starters thread

    Good luck to the new starters :D I'm on day 4 - my second day in ketosis and even though I'm not having hunger pains anymore I'm currently fighting with my cravings/bad habits. I've stuck to it 100% and there's no way I'm going back now! About the cappucino shakes, it's also my least favorite...

    ***Team 2 CD W8 Warrior Princesses!***

    okay... so I've had my morning shake and my porridge for lunch (I prefer it at lunch as it's my "thickest" meal so I feel like it keeps me going longer IYKWIM) it's now 2pm and I'm hungry - well it's not the same hunger as the past few days so I'm sure it's just cravings and habits.

    worried about loose excess skin

    From what I've read regular toning exercices in the long term will give the best results; you can also use toning creams/oils as you lose the weight and afterwards; there's also body wraps that can help - my SIL did a package of 3 Universal Contour Wraps and they helped her get her lose skin...

    ***Team 2 CD W8 Warrior Princesses!***

    I have the time to submit the results; only thing is I have no idea where I would be supposed to be doing it. If someone can point me in the right direction I don't mind doing it but I'm not sure you feel about having a "newbie" being the team leader... :)

    Costs

    I'm paying £1.80 per sachet and £2 per tetra (and bars); also got charged £3 for the 2 booklets. Does that seem high to others then? I thought it was a fixed price so didn't think of checking with other CDCs around my area. She also doesn't seem to stock all the flavours but I'm not sure if she...

    Vitamin supplement for hair & nails

    From doing a quick search it seems like you are allowed to take a supplement for your hair & nails while on vlcd - I'm considering this as I have a tendency to lose my hair quickly with changes of seasons, stress, etc so more than likely cd will effect it too. Just wondering if any of you are...
