Morning everyone, hope you're all enjoying the bank holiday. Wow this group seems to have shrunk! Im stil here and just had my wk9 wi. Another 2lb loss for me. Have really, really struggled lately but determind to lose the weight.

Forgot to say, LOVE the avatar Kelly!!!

I started running the week before i started cd weighing 15st 3lbs. Someone reccomended the book "Running Made Easy" and personally i think its fab! If like me you have never run before and find it very difficult then they start off with a simple 10 week program. In 10 weeks it aims to get you...

Another 2lbs gone for me tonight. Found it really hard the past few weeks although i've been 100% ss (apart from a rather yummy but naughty chinese last monday!) Its so quiet on here at the moment, i hope everyone is doing ok :)

Another 2lbs gone for me too. Looks like its the 2lb club tonight!

Its been really quiet on here over the past few days. Hope that means you are all enjoying the easter break. Flowergirl, try not to stress. So you had something to eat, you are human :) Draw a line and start afresh tomorrow. Some (lucky) ppl manage to eat (low carb) and still stay in...

Another 3lbs gone for me tonight :)

Well done dextersmum, thats a fab loss! 3 lbs loss for me, i'm really pleased as it was a 6 day week for me and i'm still blumin constipated!

I know exactly what you mean about the kids! Mine are 2.5yrs and 9 mnths and it appears that neither of them want to go to sleep tonight. They are both in bed shouting as i type!!! Well done everyone on this weeks losses so far. I'm pleased to say that i've lost 4lbs this week (well its...

Morning everyone. Not been around much since before the weekend as had a really bad few days with my IBS. Have no idea why as i haven't cheated or anything. My doc thinks its stress related which would probably fit as i'm soooooooo stressed at the moment trying to sort out everything to do...

Just a quick hello from me as my children are driving me insane this morning and have been running me ragged! Sonya, hope you get your tooth sorted. Its been 3 weeks since i was in hospital having my wisdom tooth out and my poor mouth and jaw still aren't right. Skinnie Min, enjoy your date...

Morning team, I must put my hand up and admit to having another slip up yesterday:( However that is now behind me and im 100% ss today and raring to go. LOL Good luck Hels with your 1st wi today and good luck to anyone else wi today.

Im sorry you're feeling lousy. Im sorry i dont have the answers but just wanted to say that im also feeling tired, cold and very, very moody so im interested to see if anyone has the answer! I did wonder if the moodyness was due to food withdrawal (sp?) Its similar to how i felt when i...

Evening team (!) Pleased to say i lost another 4lbs this week. Really happy as its still totm and had a big binge on tuesday. Congrats Twingo on losing 3lbs. 18lbs loss in 3 weeks is fab! MM well done on 5lbs "prep"! Good luck with ss this week. Gem, im soooooo jealous of you being...

Well done everyone so far. Another 4lbs gone for good tonight. So pleased :)

Just want to wish everyone with wi's today good luck. I had a minor slip up on Tuesday but been 100% otherwise. Its also totm (2nd week?!) so dont think my loss will be huge but hoping for at least 3lbs.

Morning all, Loads of ppl seem to have had slip ups this week. I just want to say to everyone, dont be disheartened. Draw a line under it and start again. I know its hard but we are all here to support each other. Sharon, dont beat yourself up over your gain. We are all going to get them...

Its so sad. At least she is in peace now and no longer suffering. My heart goes out to all her friends, family and 2 boys.

You are an inspiration. Well done :)

100% for me too :)

Morning everyone, its a glorious one here :) Hope the sun is shining where you all are too. Just reading thru last nights threads. Lovin the dirty minds, glad someone else said what i'd been thinking. lol Need to confess, i cheated yesterday. I think i had to cheat to prove to myself that i...

Thank goodness someone else is experiencing the same thing, thought i was going mad! Last time my sense of smell was so acute was when i was pregnant so i got a little freaked out at first. Thankfully its totm for me so was reassured about that:)

Evening everyone. Just had my 2nd wi and lost 3lbs. Not much but its totm so i'm pleased.

Morning everyone. Like Vixster i've not been on much over the weekend. I've had a fab time with my dh and kids, just enjoying the nice weather for a change. Today however is doom and gloom! Its my 2nd wi tonight and i know (even tho i have been 100% ss all the way) that i'll be lucky to have...

I like sitting down in the evening with the kids to eat. Once i've cooked for them and sat them down, i make myself a soup (cd) and sit with them. Mentally i feel like i've eaten too (hope that makes sense!)

Thanx for all the replies. Im gonna move up to 4 packs today. Its not that im physically hungry but im so, so tired all the time!

Morning everyone. I am just over 5'8" and currently only use 3 packs a day. My cdc advised me to try taking 4 packs on any days where i run/ excersise. I dont really feel hungry but wondered if i should be taking 4 packs every day regardless incase my body goes into starvation mode. Any...

Morning everyone. Well done vixster on a great loss. Im in the same boat regarding lack of "movement". Cant actually remember when i last went which is bad! Have taken 2 max strength senokots last night and still no budging. Have also started taking fibersure powder in every cd pack. Fingers...

Well my baby is 8 months old now and i started ss last week. To be honest i only found out about the diet a few weeks ago or i probably would have started a bit sooner. I didn't breastfeed tho and im sure its probably not advised to start cd if you are (im sure someone will correct me if...

LOL! I personally think its gross.

I agree with lizzylocket, the more i eat, the hungrier i get. Thats why personally i love ss. As long as i drink at least 2 litres of water and have my 3 shakes/ soups a day then i dont get hungry at all. I still want food but dont need food. Hope you get it sorted soon:)

Evening everyone. Glad we all seem to be doing ok today. I've had a much quieter day today (thank goodness) and my little boy seems to be on the mend altho he still has to go back into hospital on friday for more tests. Im gonna make sure im prepared cd wise this time incase we have to stay...

Wow some fab losses. 1st week for me and 5lbs lost. Was hoping for more but had a bad week so haven't managed to run or drink enough water. Still a loss is a loss:)

Well done on your loss siobhanmt. It was my 1st wi aswell today, i lost 5lbs. Bit dissapointed also as i would love to have lost more but i've had a crap week (wisdom tooth out and baby in hospital) so not being too hard on myself. Also, at the end of a day, any loss is a step in the right...

Hi everyone. Its my 1st wi tomorrow and i wish i was feeling a bit more optomistic. I have actually found ss really easy and suprised myself that i even liked some of the shakes and soups! Problem is i've had the week from hell. Emergency op on Thursday to have my wisdom tooth removed...

Hi everyone, i started on Monday so on day 6 now. I've stuck to ss religiously but had to have a wisdom tooth removed on Thursday (was an emergency, not planned) so i have been taking loads of painkillers. I really hope this wont affect my wi on Monday.

Thanks. It was an emergency op and not scheduled prior to starting cd. Im waiting for my cdc to advise me but thought i'd post here too.

OMG!!! Well done you. I haven't been physically hungry since starting ss but physcologically i could eat all day long!

Morning everyone. Day 5 of ss for me today. I had my wisdom tooth out at hospital yesterday and didn't manage to have any packs. I managed to have one this morning but my mouth is so swollen and sore (i have to drink thru a straw as i cant really open my mouth!) and im worried that im gonna...

Morning everyone. Im on day 3 of ss and finding it ok so far however i do have really bad bloating since i started. Im having 2 shakes and 1 soup a day, did anyone else suffer from this when they first started? Also i woke up really weak and lethargic today. Does this mean im not in ketosis...

Hi im new too, day 3 for me today. Just wanted to say i know what you mean about ppl thinking thin women are more intelligent. I have really low self esteem after gaining weight so hope cd will help me feel better about myself. Good luck with your journey.

Morning everyone. I am on day 2 of ss and have woken up this morning feeling very, very bloated. I had 2 shakes and a soup yesterday along with about 5 pints of water. Is this normal to be so bloated on day 2? TIA

Congratulations thats a fab loss. If i lose half that in my first week i'll be so happy.

Another first day here too. Good luck everyone, looking forward to losing with you!

Plain peppermint tea can be a bit strong. I drink peppermint & nettle together. Sounds weird but really yummy.

Morning everyone. Day one for me today. Managed 2 pints of water already and had my first shake (plesantly suprised by taste) for breakfast. Going for a run (shuffle would be more accurate!) at lunch time, hope i have enough energy, feel fine at the moment :)

Snap, snap and snap! Im also new to the boards, diet and im also starting on Monday! Good luck with your journey, maybe we could be diet buddies?

Thanx for the advice everyone and well done on some fab loses. Im calling the cdc today so hopefully be joining you really soon.

Hello everyone. I am new to the boards and have a quick question. I have searched the tutorials but cant seem to find the answer. Sorry if im being dumb but how do i add the information under my profile that says my stats and what diet im on? Thanx in advance.

Sorry for crashing your thread but i also have to have an embedded wisdom tooth out soon. I have been told that i only need a local but am very, very scared of the dentist so they will probably sedate me first. Does anyone know if its safe to have a sedation whilst on ss?

LOL!!! After 2 babies in 2 years (one of them over 10lbs!) i know exactly what you mean :cry:

Hello everyone. I made contact with a cdc today and hopefully will be able to set up a meeting really soon so i can start the cd. I have already managed to lose a stone on ww but find it really hard and constantly yo-yo (im a binge eater.) I still have about 4 stone to lose and need to lose as...
