Half way there... 6 months in, 5 1/2 st down

So this week I'm on a planned break as advised by my CDC. Been SS+ since 2nd May and lost 5 1/2 stone and plan to get right back onto it as soon as the week is over! Has anyone done something similar and if so do you have any tips and how easy was it to go right back on again?

Have you tried the pre mixed cartons? I find them so much easier to stomach!

Why are we not supposed to have the powder ones? Are they really that bad?

How much coffee does everybody drink in a day? Do people feel if they drink loads it affects their loss?

Was at a family BBQ, just stuck to some chicken and a gin and slim. Next thing I'm on the vodka jellies and sickly milkshake cocktails! I've no idea why I've just done this to myself so disappointed

so I've always used a little seasoning on my turkey - spicy season all or faghita usually. My OH bought me the wrong stuff which I didn't realise was difference until I bit into it - so so salty! How bad will this screw me up? :-(

Hello all, does anybody know if Fybogel is permitted while on the diet?

I bruised easily first time I did the diet and same thing is happening this time around! Hear it's pretty common on VLCDs

I keep mine in the freezer for my evening treat. Take it out an hour and a half before I want it (sometimes longer if it's a cold night) cut the top off and it's yummy chocolate ice cream! Sounds weird but make sure the carton doesn't tough anything in the freezer as it goes icy and hard at...

Does anybody have any ideas for a SS+ meal with Quorn Mince? Fancy a wee change from turkey and Quorn chicken! Lou xx

It's 80gs of veg hun

Food dreams are totally normal! Dream of cheese all the time. I have really crazy vivid dreams allot too. I'm lying watching come dine with me as I type! It's like my own kind of food porn! My OH thinks I'm torturing myself but he doesn't get it!

When I did the diet first time round I was exactly the same. I never craved or thought about junk it was always healthy real food I wanted! Can't tell you the number of day dreams I had about Bran Flakes, sweetcorn or beetroot!

It's not in any way impossible! I lost over 100lbs in 7months when I did Cambridge first time round! Stick with it, seek comfort in weekday routines and weekend "treats" the weight will fall off Lou x

Oh no... Will I have a terrible day tomorrow? :-(

Really? Are they that bad?

I just ate a salad with onions.... How much damage will I have done?

They are 3.8g of carbs per fillet where as the regular one is 2.6g? What do you think

I got mine for free along with some ketostix

Do you think this would be okay to eat instead of regular fillets? these are the listed ingredients Quorn Fillets (83%) [Mycoprotein*, Rehydrated Free Range Egg White, Flavouring, Milk Protein, Gelling Agent: Pectin],Ginger, Chilli & Lime Glaze (17%) [Water, Sunflower Oil, Ginger Purée (7%)...

I just had a tuna salad with a wee drizzle of 0% fat vinaigrette and a bit balsamic through the lettuce and spinach! Yum yum

Are chickpeas in the list of SS+ step one allowed protein? Lou

Anybody feel really nauseous their first few days? I don't feel hungry and tbh the thought of food or shakes is making me gag

Has anyone that's re started after a long break felt different their first few days than first time round? I've felt so so sick today - a feeling I never had in the 7months I did SS + Xxx

Hello ladies! After doing CD 3yrs ago and loosing 7+ stones I'm back with my tail attempting to poke through my fatty legs! I meet with my new CDC on Tuesday and I'm excited and raring to go! I know since I did the diet (sorry weight loss plan) that the allowed foods on SS+ have changed can...

I was the same with one of their pasta sauces I tried! may have been low in points but I had to douce it in salt to make it edible! :)

Glad to see somebody else had a daily need for Sugar Free Red Bull! *she types while slurping out her 2nd can today*

Some on the tins are still labeled at 1pp but they are actually 2pp under the new system! sorry! hope thet doesnt affect you too much! xx

I remember working this out and from what I remember is was 1 point..... Sugar Free Red Bull is zero points however!!

So for anybody who relpied to me last week, thank you very much! I had my first WI this morning and I've lost 2lbs.... not bad, off to a good start. Especially taking into account the take away on Sunday, the few vodkas on Friday, very little to no water over the weekend and my TOTM is due...

Thanks for all your input! I am tracking everything I eat using the online tracker and also the App on my phone... I think it's just hard for me to get my head around that I can eat and loose weight after living on "space food" as my friends used to call it for 7 months! It was easy for me...

Has anybody who was new to ww before ProPoints started and found they have lost no weight? I'm 5 days in after doing a VLCD 2 years ago and loosing 7stone, I'm worried that I'm gonna be dishartened if I dont see a loss on Tuesday! I'm just worried that I'n doing something wrong... the diet...

Got a lunch with my team today at a place that does upmarket pup food.... any idea what I should opt for? I've only been doing the diet since Monday so don't want spoil things! The menue is here The Melville Inn in Lasswade - Food Menus What would some of your WW experts have... bearing in...

Morning all! I'm new to WW only been following the plan for a few days but have a bit of an embarassing question.... Has anybody else noticed their mouth producing more saliva than before? It may be a diet thing or it nst just be me but any comments would be useful! thanks xxx

Hello all, I am new to WW but not to this forum (sometimes it was the only thing that stopped me eating my hand off when I did a VLCD. Last night I joined WW online and I'm getting ready to start my new journey. I just wondered if there are any books or leaflets about getting started you...

Hello all, I was wondering if somebody could give me some advice. I’m an ex cambridger having lost 7 1/2stone but putting 5 back on. I have been swithering as to go back on to Cambridge or not as I feel I may struggle this time as I am not in the same miserable state of mind I was to have to go...

thanks mrsessex, you are looking fab in your new pic! my CDC said that if I have another bad week i could drop down plans again but i've had a taste for carbs now lol, dont think i could do it again! I was all set for 1200 and even jinxed it by buying all the stuff for it today as i was so...

so after my time spent on SS+ I have started to work up the plans. lost 4lbs my two weeks on 810 and STS my 1st week on 1000. I'm just back from my weigh in to find I have put on 2lbs! This is the 1st time on the diet I have had a gain and I'm not taking in well to say the least lol! I just...

afternoon all, So after 7 months of Cambridge I'm ready to get moving up the plans and am currently on 1000 which has taken some getting used to i must say! I don't drink much milk so have been splitting it down to have half milk and then 0% greek yogurt. I have read a few of the diaries...

since starting 1000 a few days ago I have been getting hungrier by the day, is this normal? I actually feel worried that I'm going to lose control and just eat something to stop feeling hungry. I dont drink a lot of milk so I have split my milk allowance with yogurt. I have been using the...

thanks Jim! I must be getting confused as I thought I read in the booklet that when on 1000 you could have zero calorie carbonates. Maybe I'm just imagining things? come to think of it I was pretty sure it also said pizza ;)

hi all as the subject states its time for another of my daft questions. i have just started the 1000 plan and wondered exactly what everyones interpritation of zero calorie carbonate drinks?

Hi guys, As of Wednesday I will be moving up from 810 to 1000. I have lost my book with all the plan information on it so cant remember what the 1000 plan involves. can somebody shed some light on this for me so I know what to get and be prepared for starting on Wednesday as I wont be...

I do the same on weigh in day! I stop drinking at a certain time so its out my system by the time I go.... pretty sad LOL

Just wondered if anybody who is either on 810 or been on 810 has found themselves more hungry? Ive just moved up plans from SS+ which i was on since February and yesterday and totay I've felt starving! Moved up plans last Wednesday and have been fine up until yesterday but im not doing...

my friend and I started the diet at the same time. I am still on it but she has since stopped. At the start she was totally focused but then would slip for no reason and eat. I would always be really annoyed by this especially when she lost more weight than me ;). it took me a long time to...

Thanks Angela, Hope I havent done too much damage eating the normal greek stuff. Have switched to the 0% stuff today, will take a bit of getting used to! how much cinnamon do you add to it? X

Hi guys, Last week I've moved up plans from SS+ to 810. Due to the fact I dont like milk I read on here that we could have greek yogurt and everybody reccomended Greek total. What I was wondering was is it the normal greek total or is it the 0% stuff we are supposed to have? I was eating...

thanks LizzMB! Are you on the 810? I'm actually a bit nervous about it SS+ has been my life for so long now I feel I've become so comfortable with it being the norm and now they are making me eat more! lol, how dare they?!? X

thanks hun, you are a lifesaver X

aw thanks mrsessex, looks like you are doing pretty well yourself. keep up the good work!

Hi guys, I have stupidly lost my 2nd cambridge book and im due to start 810 anyday now and my CDC is on hoiday for two weeks! (cant write this stuff can you) can somebody please post the protein alowances and also the veg list as i have no clue! Thanks X

Just wanted to share something after starting this diet in February as a last resort and something to do to prove I could not lose weight so I could be eligible for a gastric band I am now at a healthy weight with my BMi dead on 25. When i started this diet i was 17st 5lbs and did not see it...

my mousse attempts are always terrible! there are always little lumps of the geletin stuff sitting it in and it totally puts me off! any tips?

I'm so glad it isnt just me! I've been on the diet for 6 months now and have lost 6stone. I am obviously really really happy with this as it's a great achievement but I just feel now that I'm reaching the final stages of it all I'm just looing motivation. I just want to go back to normal...

oh dont your are all getting me very excited. the bf and i have booked up for January and i cant wait! was there in January and it was my last big blow out and i started the diet a week after getting home. so going back a year on will be a celebration of how far i've come. I too also lost...

hi there, both my friend and i are on the CD and both on cerazette. we have both experienced problems with bleeding that we never had before the diet started. i had my period for the 1st four weeks on the diet and the week it stopped had a fantastic loss.

thanks KD, i dont know what i would do without you! you are a fountain of CD knowledge. unfortunatly i dont have any of the orange stuff so looks like i will just have to be a brave girl and hope it gets better soon. X

Hi all, hope you are all doing well today! I've worken up today totally chocked with the cold and with a killer sore throat. i know im find to take painkillers but does anybody know the deal with strepsils etc? think i may need them very soon, i'm just hoping this does not turn into a sinus...

the doctor didnt give me anything for it but I am going for some sort of scan in a few weeks to check everything is okay.. im pretty sure it is. if all is well with that they will change my pill but in the last few days it has pretty much almost stopped (bet i've just gone and jinxed that) my...

im so glad it is not just me. i started to bleed three days into the diet. after a few weeks i went to the doctors who said it couldnt be the diet. think they are wrong though and thankfully it seems to be settling down a little but it really seems to be affecting my weight loss.

thanks KD! they have been pink, more of a dark pink but pink none the less!

Hi guys I bought some ketostix for the 1st time yesterday but im not sure what colour they should go to show im in ketosis! can somebody help me please? thanks

thank god it hought it was just me. i noticed very early on (im on week 3) that my arms were going to sleep really quickly and giving me pins and needles. It doesnt seem to be anywhere else in my body just in my arms.

Hi all, was just wondering if there is a certain time you should eat all you shakes etc by. I sometimes don't have my last one till 9.30ish, is this too late or is it really down to personal preference. just wasnt sure if this would effect weight loss L

I did think this at 1st the scales may be different but it has been playing on my mind loads since Saturday. i just hope i have a loss this Saturday

Hi Tracey, thanks for the support. I had very similar clothes on but it was a different day and also a different time of day. Usually go on an evening but my CDC is on holiday so she has refered me to a different lady for two weeks while she is away.

Hi all, I am new to this forum and have been on SS+ for 2 weeks now. My first WI was fab as I has lost 7lbs but on my second WI i had gained 3lbs. i have followed the diet and have not slipped once in the time. has this happened to anybody else, it is really getting me down.
