Hi DP, Yeah i love it too. I only have 4 flavours - didnt like the rest. cranberry crunch choc orange toffee malt peanut crunch The best thing on the diet if you ask me!

Thanks Muffin. Whats this dirty cheater comment on your signature?! Go on - spill the beans :p

Nuff said!!! ;) Enjoy yourself babe x

Malted toffee!!

And he wont make me quit - makes me more determined than ever babe!! He can :kissass: :8855:

Thanks Vix, Yeah he is a git. Knows just how to hurt me - but he says it so often now that it is like water off a ducks back. To be honest, if house prices were a bit better I would be outta here!! Thanks hun xxx

Evening, Hi Sonya - enjoyed the weekend off. Problem is the BF didnt want me to diet again - has caused major rows. Followed by the "youre still fat and lazy and I hope you make yourself ill". Deja vu?? Why am I still with him - I make myself so angry!!!! Grrrrrrrr!!! Miss you too! xxx...

Hi all, I'm back!! Sorry for not posting for a while - decided to take the weekend off and didnt want to talk food too much. The reason i decided to have a few days off was due to my motorcycling. I tried riding while doing full CD and felt dizzy - which is a bit silly! Anyway, I'm...

Wow - 17lbs. Took me a month to do that! Well done you!

Just back from my WI and managed 3.5lbs this week - isn't this diet strange? Last week when I thought i would lose lots, I lost 2lbs. This week when i didnt think i would lose anything, I lose 3.5lbs. Strange?? But i'm not complaining - i'm thrilled to bits!!! Good luck anyone else...

Indeed. You too by the sounds of it!!! Have a great day at work - speak later. x

Morning Dextersmum! x

Morning, Well done on your loss thinklite - you are being very consistent! Vix - I had a similar thing happen to me - the owner of the place i was visiting yesterday put my age at 25 - 26. He nearly passed out when i told him i was 40 in January - blimey that felt good. I must be doing...

By the way, I am moving up to SS+ next week. Hope to stay on that for 4 weeks, then move up to the next plan. Anyone else on SS+?

Hey everyone, WI day tomorrow! Who else? Gem? Sonya? Deb

Good luck with the WI Vix. x

Morning all, Now off to work. Managed my 100% yesterday - what about everyone else? Who's up for another 100% challenge day??!! Go March Team!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meant to say - my bf has told me to stop the diet - says i have lost enough weight. I thanked him for calling me fat a few weeks ago and said that i would stop when i am ready. I never thought this would backfire on him like this - loving every second. He's wishing he never opened his gob -...

Hi Vix, I had a similar weekend - try not to beat yourself up. I knocked myself out of ketosis but it was back this morning. At least you are back on here - if you are anything like me you would have normally chucked in the towel by now! This place is a godsend!

My skin improved - I used to be prone to "hormonal" breakouts, but no more! X

Been 100% so far today - now is my weak time though - sitting here on my own. My daughter (who will be 15 in Aug) is at her dads and the other half is at work. This would usually be my pick time! Well done on the loss Skinnie - 1lb including milk tray is pretty good going - or lucky...

Good luck with your WI Skinnie! x

Take 1 day at a time hun and if you have a weak moment, come on here! I have had a few blips but keep coming back. Previously I would have given up by now - so i owe so much to everyone on here! Good luck x

I'm in!!! Back in ketosis this morning after my weekend blip. 100% yesterday - now for today! x

Hey Twingo, What are the piccies - does it represent you? Where did you get it?

Hi everyone, Sorry i was not on much over the weekend - had a busy (non diet friendly) one. Saturday - I ended up buying another motorbike to take to Germany in July. Went out to a banquet on Saturday night - took my own chicken salad with pickled cabbage and drank Dr Pepper Zero. Got...

Morning everyone, Have a great day today - will catch up with you all later. x

Oh Sonya - sleep well and hope all goes well tomorrow!!! You go girl. Yeah it is motorbikes - i like mountain bikes too though!! LOL Bikes = great social life!!! Speak tomorrow.x

Im off to bed now - have a great day tomorrow! Will hopefully catch up with you all early evening. Tomorrow is a new day.

Hi Sonya, So whats happening with the ex then? Im just sitting in the sofa with the OH watching a bit of TV - and talking to you! x Looking at a new motorbike tomorrow - to take to Germany in July. Should keep me busy. Just had my last shake and about ready for bed now - i feel...

Hiya, Good luck - I will be 40 in January - this was one of my motivating factors too! x

OMG curry! That would have been it for me - my most favourite food! x

Meant to say - well done flowergirl - great loss! Just a thought - has anyone spoken to muffin muncher or dextersmum recently?????

Yeah, i know you are right. I have managed to drink 2ltrs of water today on top of my usual black coffee - so have done well on the fluids but feel hungrier for it. Just had four broccoli pieces from the roast i had cooked for my girl. Seemed to take the worst of the craving away. Im hanging...

Evening all, I;m having a bit of a wobble - so want some food. After a month of not eating it seems to be driving me crazy tonight. Even considered switching to WW so that I can eat. Has anyone else felt like this?

Hey onamission, I get the water flavouring and mix a mousse from my CDC. The mix a mouse can be used for all sorts of things from mousse to jelly and also cheesecake mix etc. Lemon Mousse Cheescake Blend together powder of 1 vanilla shake mix, 1 scoop of mix a mousse, 1/2 a tsp of...

Thanks hels, Gonna up my fluids this week and see if that makes a difference. X

Well done!

Hi Gem, Dont feel bad - its a good jealous - keeps me motivated!:D I have drunk a litre of water already today - dont usually manage that in a whole day! Keep up the good work! Hi Skinny, Pleased you will be seeing your chap again - just how long are you going to be able to keep...

Thanks Gem and Skinny, Skinny - glad the date went well - enough about the food though - will you be seeing him again? Gem - well done hun, great loss, green with envy!! x D x

Hiya, Thanks for your support hun. x Yeah i have the berry and the orange. I also have the vegetable flavouring. I am ok with the 2lbs now - firstly because i cheated on Tuesday and also because I am in PMT mode this week (sore boobs etc) which usually mean a bit of water retention. I...

Not sure im afraid. Mine comes up with a box regarding macros - i just have to tick ok and hey presto. When saving it gives me a couple of options - i just click save in current format. Let me know how you get on.

Hi all, Just back from WI - bit dissapointed as I only lost 2lbs. CDC thinks i am not drinking enough water - i do struggle with that part. But hey ho never mind - a loss is a loss! Deb

Hi thinklite, Well done on your loss - hoping i get a similar one when i have my WI this morning. Deb x

Use a litre of water, 1 level tsp of flavouring and a scoop and a half of mix a mousse - blend - then refridgerate for a while. Enjoy.

hels123smiles - well done x

Hi, Yes you make it up with the Mix a Mousse and water flavourings! X

Evening all, Sorry i havent been on today - had a mega busy day at work. Had to do a presentation to some customers who haven't seen me for a few months and they commented how good i looked and that i had lost weight! Yeah!! Just been catching up on the posts - well done on all the...

I have mine on a Friday too! So don't feel left out. x

Stick at it!!

Hi, I had a slip up yesterday lunchtime but my ketostix say i am still in ketosis? I havent got any scales at home so only get weighed by my CDC - on a Friday.

1 litre of cold water, 1 1/2 scoops of mix a mousse (dont scrimp) and 1 teaspoon of flavouring. Mix with a blender. Put in fridge. Mine was ready in about 30 mins (some people put it in the freezer for a shorter time). Enjoy! x

I have found the jelly a lifesaver for those hungry moments - plus its made up with a litre of water so ups your fluid intake too. Good luck.

Hi Girls, Has anyone made any of the jelly with the water flavouring and mix a mousse - I have - it was lovely!! And a great way of increasing my water intake too as you make it up with a litre of water. Give it a go!!

Wow - i have just had a look at Porgeous's photo's - WOW!!! Does any one know how long it took her?

Hi Sonya, We are going to 10 days - 6 of us in total - should be fun. I am over the slip up. Made some jelly with the water flavouring for later. Keep on track hun. xxx

Hi Gembots, I have my weigh in on Friday too!

Hi Smanf - me too! Back on track today though and still in ketosis which is lucky!

I had a bad day yesterday - ended up having some food at lunchtime. Tested for Ketosis this morning and according to the Ketostix im still there. How soon would you know if you had knocked yourself out of ketosis?

Lesley, I had the same problem. Try right clicking on the weight chart - then click open with - scalc. Worked for me!

Morning all, Guess who joined the "had a bad day" club.:break_diet: I just had to eat something! That was lunchtime yesterday - this morning i tested and am still in ketosis - so might have got off lightly - not sure how quick it would throw you out if it was going to???? Woke up this...

Morning Gill, Good luck with your first few days - if you feel it is all getting too much then come on here. I didnt find the first week too bad but i know others have struggled. It does get easier though. Look forward to following your progress. Deb

Well done on all your WI's - brilliant!!! I have been busy working all night so not had time to post on here - never mind. Here's looking forward to another 100% day tomorrow. Love to you all x

Hi Skinnie, I have had pre planned food this week - turkey and salad. Didnt effect my ketosis. x

Hi hun, I have a treadmill at home for when the weather is bad but when it is good I go for walks in the countryside. Seems to have toned my hips and thighs up loads - plus it is gentle enough that i dont feel wasted afterwards. x

Hi everyone, Sonya - yeah I am still here hun, and going strong. My 4th WI is on Friday. Sorry to hear you had a tough weekend - stick at it babe x Welcome to any new Marchies! Dextersmum - you can do this!! you will do this!! We are the Marchies!! xx Feeling really cold today -...

Hi all, So another weekend is done and dusted! Hope no-one struggled too much. I managed my walk again today. Hoping it will help with a bigger loss this week. I have a mega busy day tomorrow but will try and log on tomorrow night to see how everyone is doing. Bye for now. Deb x

Morning Marchies, Happy Mothers Day to all the March Mummies. My 14 yr old daughter gave me a beautiful card that brought a lump to my throat - bless her. Went to a BD party last night and there was a massive buffet - I did have a little food but nothing that I couldn't have on SS+ so I...

Morning all, So here we are again - another weekend to contend with. I always find them harder than during the week. Have a 30th BD party tonight and tomorrow hope to go out on the motorbike - usually culminates in fish and chips somewhere (wish they made fish and chip flavour bars! Joke!)...

Morning ladies, Sonya - nice to put another pretty face to the name! Well done to everyone for sticking at it - even after a minor hiccup (muff!):D. We will have to try and arrange some sort of get together when we are all slimmer. Guess where I am working today - probably the most...

Aw thank you. x

Hi Madmum, Yeah I am really pleased with my loss. Hoping for a good one next week. Just bought some tiger bread for packing up and the smell is killing me!!! Hence i am being quite active in here.

Done it! x

How did you add the picture on dextersmum? x

I'll try and add a piture too - its nice to put a face to the names! x

Thanks Dextersmum and Gembots. And well done on your loss Gem. I knew there would be smaller weeks so I was prepared for it. The one good thing is that I tried on a pair of size 14 petite jeans this morning and they looked great - 3 weeks ago I was "muffin topping" over a pair of size 16's...

Morning all. Just back from my WI. I had to weigh in a day and a half early (normally weigh in on Fri afternoon). Only managed to drop 1.5lbs but I am reasonably happy with that - would be fibbing if I said I didnt want more! Am hoping for a bigger one next week as I get an extra day and a...

well done on all the losses girls. I will let you know my results tomorrow.

Can't help i'm afraid but really interested to know the answer.

I'm gonna be weighing in a day early (tomorrow) as work have juggled my diary around and I am now busy on Friday. Will be pleased at any loss this week as feeling a bit bloated and hormonal - plus a day early.

Hi Madmum The indigestion went on its own last night. Came back again today - seems to be everytime i drink diet coke (which my CDC said i could have but no more than 2 pints - i never even get close to that - usually a small glass). Guess i will need to give it a miss if i don't want...

Evening all, Just back from Oxford, managed to resist lunch with my team. Sneaked off and had a CD bar. Sonya - your losses are amazing - well done!!! Im soooo jealous! D x

Oh bless - give it a week - I think you just need time to adjust. I have had a similar problem this week too.

I have had the same thought.

Well done on your fantastic loss!

Hiya, Does anyone know if we can take anything for indigestion? I have tried loads of water but still have it. Deb

I bought mine from Tesco's. I usually check once a week - for motivation and to check I am not dehydrated.

Good luck for tomorrow x

My first attempt at the mix a mousse was a disaster. Need to have another go now that I have a hand blender. Think I made it too watery last time as well.

Hi Sonya, My WI is on Friday so i have a bit of a wait. x

Evening all, Welcome to the new Marchies! The more the merrier! I have a team meeting tomorrow too and dreading the lunch. May take a chicken / lettuce salad with me so that no-one has to see the bars etc. Not sure how else i can get round it other than disappearing for an hour - which...

Morning all, Well done on your 3lb loss Smanf. I cant believe how much we all have in common - but its so good to be able to talk and not be judged. Now off to work so will catch up with you all later. Have a great sole sourcing day everyone. Deb x

Hi Catkins I weigh in on a Friday.

Wow we have all got a lot in common! Thanks for your words of support everyone. I agree, I think my other half regrets what he said about my weight. Said thats the only thing he knew would hurt me. My response has been "at least I am doing something about it, you should do something about...

You'll be great. We have a great little thread going called the March Team if you fancy joining us. x

Thanks Sonya. This has been brewing for a while. I have already said that i would like to split but hes not having any of it. I will send you a PM with my mobile and email address. Thanks hun xxx

Sorry i meant to say goingforhalf!!! Doh!

Good luck goingforit! If ever you have a weak moment - come on here! x

Thanks Gembots. Ive had nearly 5 years of it so its like water off a ho sin ducks back! xxx

Sonya - look at you with your fancy March Team banner!:8855:

Hi Genna, Good luck and welcome!

Hi Sonya, Sorry to hear you have been unwell - missed ya! :gen126: This thread is going really well - we have a great little group going here now. I'm still having a nightmare with my OH. To be honest, i think it is only a matter of time before we split. The reason i started this diet...

I quite liked the peanut ones and the cranberry ones. The one i disliked the most was the chocolate one - too bitter. I likes nuts too!!!:drool:

Hi Catkins Chin up - 3lbs is great. It would take about 3 weeks on WW to lose this. From what i have seen on all the threads, the weight varies week by week, some have smaller losses followed by big ones. Some have a couple of weeks of smaller loses followed by a mamoth one. We are all...

Hi skinny minnie - welcome, and good luck for Wednesday. Hide the scales! I haven't even got a pair in the house! Makes me wait till I see the CDC each week. Vixster - yeah had a lovely walk thanks - isn't this weather beautiful - been a long time coming! I'm so proud of all of the...

Well done you two - great losses! I managed to get through the weekend without the grumpy OH trying to convince me to eat. In the end he disappeared off shooting somewhere - I was pleased to have some peace and quiet. Sat in the garden reading - even got minor sunburn on my chest this...

Hiya, Dont beat yourself up - the main thing is that you are straight back on the wagon. I am having the same problem with my other half - he is doing everything possible to get me to eat something. Sunday is turning out to be a very long day! Keep going....... Deb x

Hi Sonya, Of course you can copy my signature! Having a nightmare day today. My other half is trying to convince me to eat - saying that i dont need to lose any weight. Keeps talking about all my favourite foods. He even started shouting at me saying that since i had been on this diet i...

Hey, I have pot of the vegetable mix for when i get desperate - feels like i am having a cuppa soup. Gets me through till the next shake. Good luck. x

Evening all, Another day done and dusted! 100%SS. Hope you are all having a good weekend. I find the weekend the most difficult - usually when i would have had a take-away - oh well, never mind. I want to be slim more that have some food. Plus its not going to be forever is it! Have a...

Evening all, Thanks for your congrats. :thankyou: I agree, everyone is doing sooooo well. Makes me wonder how many of us would have given up by now without our March Team. I know I probably would! So thank you xxx Had my first CD bar today - fairly nice. I have bought one of each flavour...

Hey, Stick at it - it can be tough for the first couple of days. I slowly introduced some walking on my treadmill on my second week. Some say that if you build muscle it can have an effect on your losses - buy I am not sure.

You'll do it! Especially with the March Team behind ya!

Hey all, Just back from my second WI - 6lbs gone. Really pleased with that. Almost (less half a pound) a stone in 2 weeks. Now in the 12 stone bracket again - 11's here i come! Debs x

Evening all, Hope everyone has had a good day. I have. But have a stinking headache tonight - think i am just tired. Got my weigh in tomorrow - week 2 - will let you know how i get on. Speak soon. Deb x

:party0049:Go Sonya Go Sonya :party0049:

Evening all, Sonya - OMG - how did you do that?! Well done!! xxx Sounds like everyone else is sticking to the plan. I have just placed my order for next week via email - i will pick them up on Friday at my WI. At least that means commitment for another week! I have had another good...

Well done Sonya! Good luck for tomorrow - i guess at 6lbs?? What do i win if i am right? LOL

Wow we have some great losses recorded now. Well done all. Just had the spicy tomato soup - didn't like it much. Had the oriental chilli the other night which was lovely. Haven't had any bars yet - chocolate bars are my weakness so decided to wait another week before i try any. I...

I boiled the kettle then let it stand for a minute. Just need to be really careful when whisking!! Don't want any of the March girls scaulding themselves.

Hi, I put enough hot water in a jug to make a mug of coffee, then add about a third (to taste) of a sachet of vanilla powder. Whisk it with an electric blender for a few secs, then stir in a spoon of instant coffee. It was heaven - all frothy on top - and really creamy. Apparently the...

Evening all. Had another good day. Went and bought a Tesco value hand blender for £4 - boy what a difference it makes. My shakes are all light and frothy now with no lumps. Also made my first vanilla coffee with about a third of a vanilla shake and a spoonful of coffee - absolutley delish...

Evening all. We have a great little thread going here. Been good all day following my handfull of vegetables incident last night! Not had an issue today. Good luck to all the new starters and well done to all of you who have had your first WI. I must admit, if i have a weak moment, i just...

Hi eveyone. Wow, how busy have you all been? I have been offline for about 24 hours and have missed so much. I had a really really bad night last night. I was tearing my hair out for food. So I ended up having a few sprouts, broccolli and green beens. Then felt so guilty until i...

Yeah, I am like that too - we are just really focussed!! Its feels like i am almost wishing my week away - till WI. I always find it easier come Monday, when i am back at work. I am on the road most of the time, or in customers offices, so never get time to think about the diet, or hunger...

Wanting to have my photo taken!

P.s. I want one of those tickers but haven't got a clue how to do it. Can you help please? Cheers. D x

Hi all, Hope you got through your Saturdays ok. I'm going to try and start some light gentle exercise today. I have a treadmill and used to do 5 miles a night but that slipped as i put on the weight. I am going to start by walking for 30 mins and build up to an hour. Will let you know how i...

Good luck cicerone x

I like the chocolate tetras but didnt like the strawberry - prefer the shakes though. Good luck at the restaurant. I guess you just need to think what you want more - some food or to be slim and happy! Works every time for me. Speak soon. x

Oh SiobhanMT - i really feel for you. I don't think i could do it. I have a bit party to go to at the end of the month and my CDC told me to have some grilled chicken and a few green veg or salad. All going ok today though. Tried a new flavour shake last night - chocolate orange - i hated...

Hi all, Sonya has now set up a seperate thread for all us March starters. See you there and good luck. Vixter, it does get easier - i promise. Stick in there. D x

Well done Gem. I had my first WI yesterday - I had lost 7.5lbs so was well chuffed. Keep up the good work. x

My issue of the day is being home alone. B/f and i are not getting on so he always disappears at weekend. My daughter is up town with friends. Normally i would secret eat now but since being on CD I have not been hungry - apart from one night when b/f cooked burgers! OMG - the smell - I drooled...

Hey Sonya. Found you!! Its gonna be great to have a group to vent our frustrations on! And our achievements of course!! I'm really lucky with my CDC - its a young chap - he's great. I spoke to 2 or 3 before I joined and just seemed to "hit it off" with him. I think its important that...

Hi Sonya, Giz a shout when you have set up the new thread - see you all there!! Deb

Hi Eileen, Doing good on the diet thanks - you? Had my hair done this morning so any platinum (posh for grey) hairs have gone. That is the downside of being a redhead - you can go grey quite early (i'm only 39). Had my first weigh in yesterday so now starting on week 2. Feel better than...

Good luck. Just finished my first week - lost 7.5lbs. Stick with it.

Hi all. I had my first weigh in today. Lost 7.5lbs on SS. My first target is 2 stones on SS but ideally I would like to lose 3 - 4 stones. The first week was fine but i get bored easily so I keep trying all the different flavours. Hate the choc orange shakes - yuk. Glad you are all doing...

Have you guys set up that weight chart that Steve put together. Its a sticky on the first page - its brilliant!!

Thanks for your words of support Sonya. Perhaps we should set up a March Team? x

Good luck Nic! Enjoy your wine - it will be your last for a while. I have found the first week ok. Not been hungry at all. Its playing havock with my monthlys though. Apparently when you start losing the fat it releases lots of hormones that can bring things on early - and it has! Never...

I'm now 13 2 by the way!

I'm 5ft 2 and weighed 13 9. I am slim at 11 and thin at 10 stones. Always did a lot of sports so am quite a muscular build. My first target is 2 stones (on SS) then I will probably add a meal.

Oh and good luck with the break up. I would like to be single but mine refuses to leave! His comments are what made me start the diet in the first place. I'm gonna make him eat his words! x

Hiya, I officially started on the 27th Feb - nearer March as far as I am concerned. I had my first weigh in today. Lost 7.5 pounds. Doesn't seem like much compared to some of the big losers on here though. My CDC told me off for being negative though - I had told him i initially want to lose...

Managed to get it sorted. This chart is fantastic - a great record of my battle against the bulge! Cheers Steve.

Hi Steve, I am new to this forum and the CD! I have downloaded the Open Office Software as suggested but am not sure how to get your file accross to it. Are you able to help please? Cheers.
