I`m on day 2 and woke up with a headache,nothing paracetamol can`t sort out!Also drank loads of water already,trying to get rid of that empty feeling in my stomach.I know from last time that the first few days are the worse,so just have to get on with it!This weather doesn`t help,because you...

Thanks jules,i know i can do this!No food beats the feeling of shredding the pounds!I had to stop cd last year because money was tight,and i thought i would be able to at least maintain my weight but got into my bad eating habits again.Just hope my new cdc has my porridge because i hate the...

I`m starting again tomorrow,feel really nervous as i know what the first few days are like.I lost nearly 2 and a half stone last year in 6 wks,but i reckon i have put that back on now!Feel really frumpy and all my clothes are at bursting point!Know this diet works,and i really believe that the...

Could anyone tell me the syn value of a packet of caramel snack a jacks,25g packet?Done the syn calculator on the sw site and it came up with 5 syns.Don`t think they are worth it!

I am doing cd to tuesday,and then i`m joining sw.Money is tight,and i`m really miserable!Been like this for nearly 2 wks now,and i think i need to make the change.Done sw before,but i`m worried about putting the weight straight on.I will do red days and slowly introduce the carbs,if i don`t...

I am currently doing the sole source on the cambridge diet and have lost just over 2 stone.I`m getting a bit fed up and depressed as i`ve been having meal replacements for the last 5 weeks.I want to swap to slimming world as i have done it before and know what it is all about.I have only a stone...

Just tried the cranberry bar,OMG it was lovely!It almost tasted alcoholic,like a liquor chocolate!They will definitely satisfy my chocolate cravings!yum yum....

Thats great,seeing the weight drop off gives you a fantastic feeling doesn`t it?Keep it up,its so worth it!

Thanks mollydog,ooh i love the peanut bar!Got all the other flavours to try this week.Can`t believe i`m excited about them.Mad!

thanks purple hugs,did`nt think i would make it this far!Was a bit upset last night because i was forcing the shake down of an evening,gone right off them.Now i am having the bars,i feel i can carry on much further.Plus coming on here helps so much.

Love the porridge,have it twice a day.I like the original,not keen on the apple and cinnamon.Really fills me up.

I felt almost naughty eating the bar,but it was so good to chew!It took ages to eat and i had to go back to it.Feel more positive today,and i have something yummy to have once a day!Got all the flavours to try this week.

Had my 4 week weigh in tonight,and i lost 3 and a half pounds.Thats 25 and a half pounds in 4 wks!Roll on next week and hopefully i will be over the 2 stone mark and into the 11 stones.For the first time in years.Got the bars to try this week,as i`m actually really sick of the shakes!Tried the...

I heard people freeze them and cut them up,that should make them last ages.Do they taste like the slim fast snack bars does anyone know?

I think i will try them,because i can`t face another week with shakes!Love the porridge,but two times a day is enough.

I`m worried that i will find them a little too nice,and scoff the lot!Plus i have heard they have more carbs in them and wanted to carry on with just porridge and shakes.Don`t think my stomach is going to allow me to do that!!

After nearly 4 wks of shakes,i`m finding that i`m forcing myself to drink them and at times they are turning my stomach.I have 2 porridges a day and a shake,because i hate the soups.Should i maybe try the bars now,or do they slow down weight loss?Also are they more expensive?Going to see my...

I haven`t lost any weight since my last weigh in tuesday.I`m just wondering if constipation actually affects this?I feel like i need a colonic!Been 100% ss,but the scales haven`t moved,not even a pound!

Thanks everyone,i know this is a common problem but just to go every couple of days would be nice.Took the senekot last night so hope things will start moving soon!

Been on cd for nearly 4 weeks now,and in that time i have only managed to `go` a couple of times!Now i feel bloated,and uncomfortable which is making me miserable.I have got senokot dual relief,am i allowed these on ss?Not sure what i can take!:cry::wave_cry:

Just read another thread and you are allowed a teaspoon a day because of the high salt content.But that should get rid of your craving in the evenings.Also it can make you more thirsty so you will want more water...bonus!

yes,you can have it on ss.

I tried the bouillion and was pleasantly surprised,so i will be having that in the evenings from now on!It tastes like the flavouring they have in chicken noodles.Give it a go!

wow,you look great!!!!!!you are a inspiration to everyone on here.

I get negative remarks from a girl at work,she said she knows someone who done the diet and her hair fell out!She is a girl who is much larger than me and is in and out of slimming clubs.She keeps looking me up and down as i`m loosing the weight.Why can`t people be happy for you,i certainly...

polishrose,sorry none of your family are not supportive.Its a shame because you are just trying to be healthier and feel and look better.I too come on here for added support,because this diet sometimes makes you feel like your alone.I can just bore you lot with my problems and frustrations!

I know what you mean by moody,i`m the same and i have to try and control it!Its mainly in the evenings when i`m craving chocolate.It is hard when people eat around you,but as my OH pointed out,they still have to eat!Just wish i did`nt have to smell the bacon that he cooks.Just wait till...

Thanks guys,its good to know i`m not alone when it comes to unsupportive family members.Try not to get to down about it ,but i often feel wound up after her visits.Can`t see her less,because my 3 children enjoy her coming round.Glad to say i`m not like her because when my sister lost weight last...

Been on ss for 3 wks now,which i`m very proud of.My husband is really supportive of me but i find my mother just thinks its all a big joke.I have always been bigger than my mum,something she likes to point out frequently.I have lost 22 lbs now,i have had so many people remark on my weightloss...

Thanks,its great to come on here everyday.Keeps me motivated and everyone is so supportive.Hopefully in 2 wks i will be into the 11 stones,my bmi has already gone down from 30.4 to 27.5!!So happy,roll on the summer!!!

It gets easier,i promise.Did`nt think i would make it to 3 wks,but it was worth it.wait till you see the weight drop off!

I had my 3 week weigh in tonight,and i have lost another 5 lbs.Thats 22 lbs in total!!!!Wow,this diet really works and i`m over the moon!Also i fitted into size 14 trouseurs today,for the first time in years.

i`m a waitress,so food is around me everyday!I get a sick satisfaction from watching the customers stuff their faces,especially if they are on the large side!Does that make me sound horrible?I think its because i`m proving to myself that i do have willpower and self control and i`m improving my...

Thanks to you both,feel better.Ready to get on with it now,no more nibbles i promise.

I know,i won`t nibble again.The guilt is just not worth it.I did`nt even enjoy the ham but my totm has made me feel weak and i`m feeling the hunger,worse than the first 3 days of ss.I`ve done so well in 2 wks,and i`ve had so many compliments.Was feeling so proud till now..

Been on ss for 2 and a half wks now,and today i was so hungry and low that i ate 2 slices of ham!Its my totm and the last couple of days have been hard.Up to now i wasn`t hungry at all.Will this affect my weightloss next week,feel useless for being so weak.Will this affect ketosis?Someone please...

Wow,what a difference!You should be really proud of yourself!xx

Hi,can i join your group?Been on cd for 15 days now and lost 17 pounds.You all sound so supportive to each other,and its great to be able to chat to people that are in the same boat.Think i`m boring my husband to death now!!To everyone who hasn`t been on cd long,don`t worry it gets much easier.I...

Thanks,finding it easier now.Rarely feel hungry and i`m loving all the comments i`m getting about my weight loss.I`m now the lowest weight i`ve been for 12 years,since having my daughter!

Got weighed for the second week and i have lost another 6 pounds!!Thats 17 pounds in 2 weeks!Well pleased with that.Also got some choc orange shakes from my councillor.OMG it was disgusting,never tasted anything so vile!I`ll stick to strawberry and fruits of the forest.

My husband paled when i mentioned i had not came on(we have 3 children already)!!!Its just a bit unsettling,i even had the signs i was coming on!

I was due on 3 days ago and theres no sign yet!Has anyone had this,delayed or missed periods?I`m normally bang on time.Been on ss for nearly 2 wks.

Been on ss for over week now,and i`m a bit worried about some side effects of the diet.My tongue is constantly furry and a horrible yellow colour!I give it a good brush when i clean my teeth but it returns within the hour.Also i`m losing more hair than usual and my eyelashes seem brittle.I keep...

Thanks for all your support guys,it really helps.I`ve done 2 double shifts in a row now,so not had time to even think about food.It was too busy!I work in a branded restaurant that is famous for its salad cart,so you can imagine!The desserts is the hardest thing,as we have a fridge full of...

I know what you mean!Sometimes i have zero energy and ache all the time,other times i am on ahigh and have never felt better in my life!I definitely feel the difference when i haven`t drunk enough water for the day,i feel drained.I`m due my totm,and i feel awful at the mo.Worse mood swings than...

Thank you all for your support,i will carry on because i have set myself goals and i will not let myself fail again.Its weird because the foods i want are healthy foods not the junk i used to eat!I`m even dreaming of them,has anyone experienced that?

I want to lose three stone in all,and i keep telling myself this won`t be forever.But any time i get upset,my thoughts turn to food.I think it doesn`t help that my totm is due.I`m having 2 porridges and a shake at the moment which suits me.But i have trouble with my emotional link to food,it...

i`ve been doing ss for 9 days now,and i feel so miserable and grumpy.I`m not hungry,but miss the comfort of food.I`ve lost over 11 pounds so far so i know it works,but i feel like i need constant encouragement otherwise i will fail.Doesn`t help that i`m a waitress and have to work with food...
