    Cambridge diet buddy?

    Hi all! I'm on day 19 but obviously still new to it all. I've lost 11.5 so far & 4inches from my waist! I don't have an awful lot to lose, maybe 2-2.5 st but I've never found it easy to lose weight so hoping this'll be the last diet I try!

    2nd Day

    Hi Thai Chilli :) I'm on Day 19 but have to admit I didn't have it too bad at the start. I felt rough for a few days & for almost two weeks had no energy. I feel completely fine now, totally back to my normal self! Stick with it, after a little while your body will get used to it & you'll get...

    Step 1 Sole Source + Need help and motivation!

    At one point or another everyone will have something that gets in the way & throws them off plan (I have a two week holiday later this month). I think you need to sit & write down why you wanted to do the CD in the first place & what you wanted to get from it. Are the reasons still the same now...

    What takes you out of ketosis?

    Thanks Lily thats a big help. I've been looking into ketosis but obviously only know so much & didn't want to mess up so early using one tiny thing. So far I've only needed frylight for the omelette, everything else has cooked ok.

    Autumn08 - it does pass! I'm on Day 9 of Step 2. The first few days were tough as I'd expected. I'd say Day 6 was a turning point for me & since then it's got better & better. I've got a shake for breakfast & haven't had it yet as I'm not actually hungry right now. It does ease! Just stick with...

    What takes you out of ketosis?

    Is it by totally going off plan or could even a small addition make the difference? Earlier I made an omelette & asked my C if I should use fry light. She said only a little & that "it may be ok". If it wasn't, could something so tiny take me out of ketosis?

    My C said Dr's don't give permission for you to do the CD, it's more for them to confirm what you've noted about any meds or conditions you have. I saw my Dr last Thursday & was worried he'd be funny about it (he can be like that) & he could not have been better! When I left he actually told me...

    Do all Steps result in good losses?

    I met my C last night & will be starting Saturday. She thinks I will be best starting on Step 2. There were a few reasons why but one of the main reasons is that I can't drink water as it is, I have to have a flavour & the water flavouring is only really meant to be used after two weeks. She's...

    Meeting a CD Consultant tomorrow - what can I expect?

    Do you not like soups in gerenal or have you tried the CD soups before? My friend who did well on the CD said to me not to have shakes in the first week, no idea why though! I'm vegetarian so I'll be limited & just eat what I can. Hope you get on well! xx

    Thanks Shirleen. I'm veggie so can't eat the fish but I could have oil every now & then. I ended up buying some tablets from a pharmacy yesterday & they worked.

    has anybody not lost weight on the SW plan?

    I do Extra Easy & usually have more than the 1/3 superfree with each meal. I have both HEX's everyday & always weigh them, I never ever guesstimate. I have on average 10 syns each day & note down every single thing I eat. In other words, I do SW by the book. I used to eat egg on toast for...

    I managed to pop out to Boots. The woman recommended Dulcolax, she said she's used it & it's better than a lot of others. I hope it does something. I know I'm ok & I have no pain or anything but this is so unusual for me, and right before WI!

    I think that when you're sticking to something that may seem hard, every day is a little achievement :)

    It's not too bad, I eat a lot of quorn so I get all my nutrients so I can go wtihout carbs. I never cut down totally, like you said they turn into energy so I need them for that.

    I've always been a carb person, as a veggie its carbs that make up the majority of my meals. The last couple of weekends I've cooked big dinners that have been veg only & they've been so tasty & really filled me up!! Now I really understand how Speed foods keep you fuller for longer. Maybe try...

    Do you have any carbs at all? I'm in a blimmin bad mood today, not really sure why. Not feeling positive about WI tomorrow. I had a cheat day last WI but I monitored my weight & I'd pulled it back within 2 days but since then it's showing a STS, I've had on average 1200 a day....& my body can't...

    8lb in 4 weeks is fab!!!!! Well done, so deserved. I think your week has been how mine has, I really mix up my calories, high intake one day. lower intake the next. It keeps my metabolism on its toes ;) I think that really is good as last week I wasn't well so hardly did any exercise so my loss...

    who has done the 30 DS?

    When you start exercising your body often retains water so in the first few weeks a lot of people do gain. The more you drink the less you retain BUT when starting out with exercise it can still have a bad effect on the scales. It does always balance out though so keep going with it!

    ready to quit

    A friend of mine hates the cooking part of SW but I think its relly good that SW encourage you to make everything yourself. Before SWI never cooked, ever! But now I think I'm pretty good & my meals are varied & lovely. It sounds like you have a lot on your hands & I think its understandable when...

    Morning everyone :) So I've mentioned in the past that my old C used to suggest (recommend!) to me that I have a day/night off SW every now & then on WI day to kickstart my metabolism, I had to do this as my body got stuck in a rut literaly within days, it was weird. Anyway yesterday I had...

    The really slow loss team!

    I think there was one day by 9pm I realised I'd only had 1100 but I wasn't hungry & it was late so just ate that little bit more the next day. I think what will work for me it to take in a different amount each day. My body gets stuck in a rut so quickly so if I do 1200 one day 1400 the next I...

    Wow really?! I never really notice the changes in myelf, that's normal I suppose. I think for me it's purely that I love SW it want it to work so badly for me that I don't like to think that I have to tweak sw to suit me, I just wish I could do it by the book & lose, but I've now realised I...

    The really slow loss team!

    Haha ok!! :) I always say to my mum she should try SW & her standard response is "oh I can't eat loads of pasta like you". I eat past maybe twice a month. if that, & even then I only use about 75g dried! It's not much. I think some people automatically switch off when you mention carbs are Free...

    I'll admit I'm the same, it's easy to give advice but not take your own! That's really great she commented on your weightloss, that's a brilliant start to her stay. If you don't need to explain sw to her don't, just incase she questions it too much & it drives you nuts! Just stick with what...

    Thanks guys!! I know Felicity that's 5lb in two weeks!! I'll await my punishment ;) I'm so so happy, I hope I can keep it up. This week I changed everything, I mixed up breakfasts, cut back on carbs & really watched my calorie intake. This has been my pill free week & I've read you can lose more...

    The really slow loss team!

    Charl I agree with Lou!! I've really worked hard to combine SW with calorie counting & the last two weeks it's worked for me really really well. Years ago I was eating 300cals a day & the weight dropped off me so quick but I can't tell you how rubbish & ill I felt. I know you get used to it...

    The really slow loss team!

    I agree & disagree. Personally I don't really feel SW should state "eat as much as you like" as obviously that would never lead to weightloss. I remember years ago the motto was "eat a sink bowl full of pasta & still lose weight". At the time I thought that sounded crazy but in truith no one...

    Do you sabatage yourself?

    Oh yeah I have done this so many times since joining SW 3 years ago. When you fall off the wagon it's very difficult to get back into BUT I've always found if I throw myself into it, then wtihin 2/3 days I'm totally back on track & wishing I'd never strayed in the first place. You need the right...

    Sorry to hear how your Mum is, its really hard to keep motivated when the people closest to you don't support you or your choices. But saying that, it is your choice, what you eat is up to you & it's your life, you need to put your foot down. If she's visiting you then its your ground & you...

    When is your official WI? Don't freak out until then, it may7 not be as bad as you think. BUT if you do gain, at least you'd know why, rather than knowing you've been good & resulting in a gain. Could you still eat SW even though your Mum doesn't?!

    The really slow loss team!

    I'm certain it will come off by Friday Lou, at least some of it. from my experience having a few days with high cals & dropping it to much lower really tricks my metabolism, I'm sure oit's the same for you. My WI is tomorrow & for once I'm actually looking forward to it. Haven't been able to...

    Bah! It definitely sounds like the carbs to me too. I'm really starting to get all this "carb=gain/sts" business now. I've totally cut back & although I never ever get bloated I feel better. I hope it balances out for you!!

    Charl I was wondering where you'd got to :) Sounds like you had a great few days, I think it's ok to enjoy yourfelf like that every now & then, especially if you don't take it back. You've got your head on to get back into it today so thats good :) As for the personal problem, I've never had...

    Well I've just made my curry. I used BNS, onion, tomatoes & chickpeas. I've never made a big dish with BNS & chickpeas. I didn't have a recipe so decided to wing it & make it up as I went along. The sauce is tasty & I added fromage frais at the end to make it creamy. It's so good :) I'm loving...
