    Soups!

    Morning everyone! I was just wondering what soups everyone likes? Last time i tried a couple of soups and porridge at the beginning and absolutely hated them so just stuck to the shakes. I'm in the process of using up a few packs from last time and they are all very sweet flavoured shakes...

    Who's still juddding???

    Hi Guys, Well i am still here, and i lost 2lb this week, but i've now decided to start calorie counting. I go to the gym or a class every day, and a couple of the classes are really high intensity, and i'm finding on down days i'm really shaky and feel quite ill afterwards, and i'm using alot...

    Is this acceptable ;)

    Just wondered if anyone else thinks this is ok to eat on a down day....(i personally think its shocking but i just cant help myself i love my coffee and chocolate) Ok so.. 3 Cafe Lattes each at 89 cals = 267 and 2 kitkats at 107 cals = 214 Thats a total of 481 Do you think this is what doctor...

    Long journey tips

    This is a tricky one, how about flying through the night, or shift your mealtimes a bit. Through the evening/night most people normally go without eating for that long as they are sleeping. So if you fly in the afternoon, have your 3 meals before you go, and have breakfast early, if that makes...

    Other benefits of CD apart from weight-loss

    i think the greatest benefit of CD for me is it takes you like you said back to square 1 so you can re adjust your relationship with food and thats been a massive learning curve for me. My over eating, and things like thinking i was hungry when i really wasnt, and having to eat everything on my...

    Do people ever change their target weight whilst on the diet?

    Its funny isnt it, i never thought i'd get back to this weight again, i said that to my CDC yesterday. I probably wouldnt with any other diet! My target is set at 9.2stone and i'm only 7lbs away! I just can't believe it! I used to weigh 8.7 and that just seemed impossible a few months ago, but...

    Aww honey bless you, you are doing so amazingly well and should be so proud of yourself!

    emotional eating

    I too am an emotional eater, well i'm hoping i can almost say was now! I agree with what you said about learning so much about yourself from this diet. I didnt realise when i started quite how much of a learning curve this would be, my main aim was to lose weight where as now it is to sort out...
  40. Jesslima

    OMG i am so hungry!!!

    It does pass i promise :) drinking water is the way to go! Really try and stick with it, the first few days are really tough, but once you get over that you will start feeling great! Try and distract yourself, have a bath or watch a good film xx
  41. Jesslima

    weekly weigh in and .....

    I agree, for me personally, i do ss some days and ss+ on others depending on how i feel. I would rather have something i'm allowed than feel deprived and go completely off the diet. But i think some people prefer to stick to ss and have food out of the equation. So its a personal preference...

    Fed up...

    Hi Sparkles! Try to stay positive, sometimes one week you will have a really small loss and the next week a bigger one to make up for it. If you get weighed at the same time each week it shouldnt make much difference to your actual loss. I always try to stay to the same time and wear similar...

    Getting Married abroad????

    Hi Kelly! Me and my hubby got married in Sri Lanka and then went onto the Maldives for our honeymoon, it was absolutely amazing!

    Anyone tried the Powerplate machines?

    I use one at the gym and i think they are very good especially as someone said before on this kind of diet! They are meant to do a complete body workout in 10mins which is equivalent to one hour! I do some cardio on the cross trainer and bike and then go on these!

    How much do you exercise?

    Hi Sonya! Your losses are fantastic!! Well done!! I go to the gym twice a week, which i did before the diet, but have dropped down the amount of cardio and fat burn i do as don't want to burn too many calories. So i spend alot of time doing weights and resistance, and using the powerplates to...

    Can I use powerplate while on CD?

    i use them at the gym, i think they are good, but i do a good workout and weights before, so dont know whether its that or the powerplates! They dont seem to do much good on the tummy area for me though. But i feel as though i've had a really good revitalising massage afterwards and its great...

    Do food cravings stop or get replaced for something else

    Hi Julie, i don't really get cravings anymore, and before i started food was on my mind most of the time! I do sometimes think: 'that would be nice to eat, i'm looking forward to eating that again one day' but even these things are now nice healthy foods. But i definately don't get any...
  64. Jesslima

    CD and kids

    Eating sugarfree gum while i'm cooking and feeding takes away any temptation for me, just as long as the chewing doesnt make you feel hungry! Luckily my 9month old doesnt ask any questions lol :)
  65. Jesslima

    So-what keeps you motivated?

    I just want to be fit and healthy for my little boy, when i had him it made me realise that my health was very important, as it wasnt just about me anymore. (Also he's a right livewire and gets into everything, so i need to be able to keep up with him lol) :)
  66. Jesslima

    Why am I suddenly so hungry?

    Not at all, my cdc said i can do ss or ss+ and alternate between the two, so i just do whatever i feel like on those days. I didnt want to become scared of eating, so i'd rather have a few meals a week even if it slows my weightloss a bit, and its nice to sit down and eat with my husband. But i...

    Weekends are hard

    I think it gets easier, at first i just felt really hard done by when everyone else was eating, and weekends were awful as they used to revolve around food for me, but now especially as i can actually see a difference in my weight, it feels so worthwhile. Hang in there, i never thought i'd see...
  68. Jesslima

    Why am I suddenly so hungry?

    Hi Letty, the only time i feel a bit hungry is on the days i go to the gym, so maybe that is why because you have been working so hard. Would it be possible for you to split packs or do you have tetras at work? I only go a few of hours in between: I have 1/2 shake (hot with tea) at 7am then been...
  69. Jesslima

    What time do you have you packs?

    Lol its lush, especially with vanilla, it has to be a twinnings everyday teabag as well. It doesnt really taste like tea, can't really explain it, you'll have to try it! I'm addicted, i'd drink it even if i wasnt on cd! :D
  70. Jesslima

    Next notch on the belt!

    Hi Annie its great isnt it! I've been a bit of a horder and kept clothes "that i'll fit back into one day" and now i actually am starting too! I never thought i would :D
  71. Jesslima

    What time do you have you packs?

    I spread mine out like this: 7am 1/2 pack mixed with tea (usually banana or vanilla) and a good mugfull so lots of extra water! 11ish 1/2 bar cut into small squares 1pm 1/2 shake 3pm 1/2 shake 7-8pm 1/2 shake with tea and half bar (then i feel really spoilt) :D
  72. Jesslima

    Is it OK to go to the steam and sauna rooms while on CD ss

    Hi! I go to the gym twice a week, but only do half the cardio i did before the diet, firstly because i don't want to burn too many calories and secondly i find i feel a bit weak the rest of the day. So i too am concentrating more on resistance and toning :)
  73. Jesslima

    Today birthday; tomorrow start CD

  74. Jesslima

    aaarghhhh

    Do they know you are doing the diet? If you don't want them to know, you could say you feel a bit ill when they arrive just not well enough to eat. How have you found cooking so far? I used to find it really hard, but now i just eat sugarfree gum and that takes away any temptation! Good luck...

Someone suggested to me to chew sugarfree gum (i know its not advised as...

    Your partner's opinion on the diet ?

    My hubby is being great! Very supportive. I think if i got to goal and then decided to carry on losing weight then he would have a problem. But as i am obviously overweight, and he has seen me struggle on other diets he is fine, and trusts that i know what i'm doing :)

    Hello....I'm starting CD tomorrow morning!!

    I remember being told you shouldnt do any kind of diet which is very restrictive while breastfeeding as you need to have at least 1500 - 1800 cals a day, you can eat sensibly but shouldnt lose more than 1.5lbs a week. I would definately discuss it with your CDC. :)

    dry teeth (!?) and twinges anyone?

    Does it feel kind of like a popping sensation?! I get this when i lose weight and sometimes after exercise! Everyone laughs at me when i say about it!! I reckon its the fat/cellulite disappearing :D

    Bad habits die hard!

    When i'm cooking (for others) i have realised how much of a picker i am!! A few times i've actually got food in my mouth before i've even realised what i'm doing! Its not that i'm hungry, i do it subconsciously! Anyone got any tips of how i can kick this bad habit?! Chewing gum would,ve worked...

    Splitting packs!

    When i made the vanilla coffee, i added enough water to make it a mugfull, and it tasted fab, i prefer the hot ones more watery. To be honest i add more water to all my shakes and have gotten quite used to it now.
  119. Jesslima

    Splitting packs!

    Today was the first time i split a pack in half, and i can't believe i havent been doing it all along! I had a vanilla shake hot with coffee, it was really nice and i added quite alot of extra water so it was a big mug full! I thought splitting them would make it such a small amount so i never...

    Good feeling of ketosis

    Its fab isnt it! I've just painted my hallway and just sooo full of energy! I love it!
  124. Jesslima

    What should I do?

    I messed up last week and was very suprised that i only put on 2lbs, i ate alot more than you, so you should be ok hun. Well done you for getting straight back on it xx
  125. Jesslima

    What should I do?

    oh Hun sorry to hear about your Grandmother :( i wouldnt worry too much about the diet or just try and low carb/cal if possible, there are times when its not physically possible to stick to it 100% and you need to look after yourself emotionally at the moment. Just do what you can for the time...
  126. Jesslima

    Week 4 weigh in

    I would look at it like if you had been on another diet you would probably would have lost only 8 - 10lbs at the most by now so 17lbs is fab!!! Well done!! :)

    Newbie on day 1 & a few questions

    Hi Waterford, I hated the porrige as well and could not eat it! So i only have shakes now, i think everyone finds out what they like as they go along, so don't let it put you off! I think in answer to your questions that both salt and tablet sweetner are ok but i'm not 100% so i'll let someone...

    How Much Roughly?

    I would take £40 to be on the safe side, i'm sure you'll get some change. Though i think if you are over 5'8" you have 4 sachets a day?? so that would be more. Goodluck with your meeting x

    Hi Molly, This is my 7th day too and i also get weighed tomorrow. It is really hard, but i've realised that when i want some food its not because i'm hungry, its more of an emotional thing and i associate eating with relaxing. Maybe you should try ss+ next week, i'm thinking of doing that...

    Isn't this diet so much easier than the rest?

    I think the reason i find this diet easier to stick to is because there is no room for error, you have to be so strict with yourself. With other diets you think 'one mouthful wont hurt, or a bit of this won't matter' But you dont even have that option with this, its all or nothing, and you know...
