Hi, I started CS in March this year & did it for about 6 weeks before switching to Avidlite as it was much cheaper & as stated, the shakes are not as sweet. I just followed the exact same principles as CS & lost 3st which I have been able to maintain. It has helped me evaluate how I was eating...

Very nice but just make sure that it's him on the pics & not some 63 year old,toothless,old perv pretending to look like that.:D

Sounds so much sexier than Dave or Kevin doesn't it;) Spill the beans Kels, how & where do you know him from?

You are doing everything correctly then. I wouldn't worry too much about it this week as it could well be just your body adjusting. You might find that next week you lose much more than expected:) My first week, I couldn't stop running to the loo as my body adjusted to the sudden increase in...

On cs, calories don't really come into it though, it's more to do with the carb content. CS is high protein & low carb. I would imagine that while apples are less calories, they have a higher sugar content & therefore more carbs. The book does say half an apple but if I do have one I choose a...

I've not heard of anyone not losing anything at all in the first week before, presuming they have stuck to it 100%. Usually they lose a lot of fluid in the first week. Have you been drinking your 2ltrs of water everyday? That is very important and personally I think it's the key to success. If...

I could really do with an Italian Stallion in my life right now:D

Oh yes indeedy......does he have an older brother?:ashamed0005:

Aww Kels....again?:eek: Can't live with each other but can't without each other eh?:hug99:

Kels should be on commision as it was her that brought it to our attention initially.

Lol, no Avidlite forum but there should be as most cs users usually convert to avidlite after the first few weeks due to the cost. If you spend £65 you get 5% off but I can't afford to spend that in 1 go unfortunately.

I am following the same cs principles but replacing cs shakes with the avidlite ones. I've had no problem ordering online at all. Last week I ordered on Thurs morning & my del arrived by royal mail on Fri. The only time it took more than 2 days to arrive was when I paid extra to have it...

Hiya Soozy & welcome back. I've also been using the avidlite shakes since the first month. They taste nicer in my opinion & are a little thicker in texture.

Hi Ladyvegas, glad to see you're on the mend. Good luck with your wedding plans. We went on a weeks Nile cruise & a week in Luxor. Been 3 times now in the last 16 months & we love it. We get bored lying by the pool or on the beach all day so we go to Luxor because of all the historical sites.

Hi, I'm back off my hols & back on this diet as from today. In reality I've had almost 3 weeks off as I've been home since last weds but thought I'd wait until the start of the week to get back on track. Weighed myself & I'm delighted to say that I've only put on 4lbs. We've been to Egypt & I've...

Hope so but usually just go pink & then peel:(. Will be too busy first week as doing a Nile cruise & visiting all the sights but the second week will just be chilling out. Probably too hot to lie in it anyway.

Thanks. Only problem is, it's over 100 f at the moment :eek:so will need to keep on drinking the water.

Well, on Weds I'm off on my hols. Didn't reach the target I set myself but about 2st lighter than I was when I started in March. Went away for the weekend last month & put 3lbs (in 3 days) on so just hoping my 2 week holiday doesn't equate to 14lb on:eek:. As it's an all inclusive holiday, I...

Good luck Mrs Hill2B. It should be a doddle for you after all the others you've done:). I'm from your neck of the woods so I'll look out for you in the petite section of Debenhams in a few weeks:D

Hi tiffy, I am just doing the same as I was on cs but with avidlite shakes instead. I prefer the avidlite ones as they are not as sweet & seem a little thicker in texture too.

I was so excited that they were back in stock that I didn't tick the box for courier so they just came by royal mail. I'm sure they wouldn't have got here that quickly if I had selected courier service.

Kels, would you not get the same results doing avidlite as sole source? It would be a lot cheaper than lipotrim. My daughter works at a pharmacy who does lipotrim & she says the results are good. Don't think there is anyone left on this forum who is still actually doing cs.

Great service again from avidlite. Only ordered at 3.30pm yesterday & my parcel arrived this morning via royal mail. Panic over now, thought the earliest I would get my supplies would be Tuesday with the bank holiday. Was going to go to Rowlands today & get a few cs shakes to get by.

It could well be your meds that's the problem. The wii fit might be just what you need to kick start your metabolism. Still, to sts is far better than a gain & you did only do 95% at the weekend so don't worry. If you are drinking all your water, do you still find that you need to run to the...

Hi Dee, I think I started a month before you not a week. I've stuck to it 100% apart from 1 weekend away when I put 3lbs on(that was soley down to the alcohol & not the food as I was very careful). I got back on track the day after I came home & lost the 3lbs plus another 2lbs that week. I eat a...

Just had an email from Sarah, the shakes are back in stock now. Down to my last 3 days supply so hope they get here by Tuesday.

Emailed Sarah @ avidlite earlier, just got a reply saying shakes left France last week & they hoped they would be in stock by now. They are now expected Thurs/Fri :clap: might have to buy a few cs ones in the meantime.

Kels, I'm so sorry to hear that but I'm a great believer in fate. When one door closes, another on opens. Good luck with searching for a new beginning.

Well, I forgot to take my shake to work with me today so popped into Tesco to buy there own ready to drink shake as an alternative. All I can say is :9529:. It was the worst thing I have ever consumed. It actually tasted like the plastic carton it came in. Totally gross. Hope avidlite get more...

Well done. Great 1st loss:)

Well I'm really impressed. Only ordered on Thurs night about 10.30pm & my stuff came this morning by royal mail. Last time I paid the extra for courier & it took 5 days.

That sounds yummy. Must get strawberries tomorrow, Always have natural yoghurt in anyway.

That's really great. Well done:clap:

Mmmm, interesting......remember the other day when I told you about that shop charging £22 for 14 shakes which turned out to be avidlite? Well, that website is almost identical to the posters that the shop were advertising with.

It's the vanilla & strawberry ones I wanted.Thanks newdawn but too late. Already hit the buy button:D I've ordered the pudding ones instead as it says just add more water to make into a shake. I'm sure kels ordered the pudding ones a couple of weeks ago. I'm gonna check out that Kee website now...

Trust me, just has I have started to use avidlite shakes they are out of stock of the flavours that I like. Grrrrr:mad:

My scales weigh exactly the same as the ones in the chemist I go to. It's better to weigh yourself first thing in the morning after you've been to the toilet.

Could it not just be pre wedding nerves? Maybe in a few days he will sort his head out & change his mind. I know it's not much comfort at the moment but give him a little time. This doesn't have to be the end for the two of you. x

Aww, I'm really sorry to hear that Kels. I know that nothing we can say will really make you feel better but you know we are all here for you. xxx

About 3 weeks ago I was out working(as a rep) & made a call on a small store. When I was in there I noticed they were advertising in the window a diet that was the same as CS, Literlife & Lipotrim. Well, I was intrigued so started asking questions(as you would). I was given a leaflet & shown the...

Can't be the avidlite shakes as I've been like this since Saturday night & only got the shakes this morning.

I've had cs shakes up until yesterday evening & today received the avidlite ones so had 2 of those today ( i have an interesting story about those as well).

Haven't eaten anything different & I can't drink the water as my stomachs too painful without adding anything else to it. spent all Sat night lying awake & rolling around on my bed holding my stomach:cry:. Yesterday, hardly moved from the sofa at all.

All day yesterday & today, I've felt really bloated. My back is aching, my head is thumping & my stomach is really sore, even just touching it hurts. I've not been able to eat at all today & just had 2 shakes so far. I feel if I eat or drink anything, my stomach will explode.:sigh:

I love bns & eat it regulary as a replacement for roasties.

I've ordered some for delivery tomorrow. You could always take green tea extract tablets from Holland & Barrett (half price at the mo) if your concerned. I drink green tea with lemon anyway so hoping they'll work just the same.

I'm still here lurking in the shadows:D Had a weekend in Edinburgh last week so had to give the shakes a miss(as you know it's my little secret). I did ok with giving the carbs a miss food wise but god knows how many I consumed in the alcohol:eek:. Didn't go for my weigh in as it's monday & it...

I'm off to Edinburgh for the weekend 1st thing tomorrow with a few friends & my husband. The thing is, no one knows I'm on cs. They know I'm on a diet, but think it's just a low carb diet. I'm going to have to leave my shakes at home & wing it for a few days:cry:I'm hoping to keep to a low carb...

That's brilliant for week 2, well done.

Excellent, well done:)

That's good after 1 week, well done. I measured myself today. In 5 weeks I've lost 5" from my chest, 5" from my waist but only 2" from my hips. Think I'm destined to always be pear shaped:(

I agree with all that's been said. It sounds like someone who basically wants to put a dampener on your diet. Is this "someone" already slim & doesn't fancy the competition or someone who is overweight & can't keep to a diet themselves?.....mmmm I wonder!:rolleyes:

Well done, keep it up:)

Welcome back, wondered where you had got to.:)

So sorry Rae, she is in a better place. I know it'll be a difficult time for you & your family but take comfort from the fact that she is now at rest & pain free. Love & light to you & your family. XX

Well done kels, might try those shakes now. Rae, hope your ok & I send my love to you & your family. x

I've told my husband that when he pays the school a visit tomorrow to specifically ask to see the head of the art dept. They really must try harder..........it wasn't even worthy of U grade.;)

Well, after spending all day getting the graffiti off my daughter's car, if I don't have a big loss this week I'll be gutted. Must say, I am impressed with Merseyside police for sending their fingerprint unit out yesterday & also 2 officers to take statements at 9am this morning. We have also...

Think I win......1962:( My daughter was born in 1988...........but... ahem...I am very young for my age...honest

We reported it at 6.30pm tonight but they are "too busy" to come until sunday. We have taken photo's of the damage (they've written all over it in marker pen in letters that are appx 10" high) plus daubed lovely phallic symbols all over the bonnet & doors. They have even signed it with the name...

I will probably be spending the time(after the police decide to come around to fingerprint it) trying to remove the graffiti & artwork that some little scrotes have decided would enhance the appearance of my daughters 1st car. Only just bought it for her as she is taking lessons & she is...

Welcome to the forum. It's great for getting support & info from.

:superwoman:fight,fight,fight,fight:D

I absolutely love Tesco Finest Italian style pesto dressing on my salads (or anything else for that matter). 1 15g tablespoon contains carbs 0.5g Fat 5.4g of which sats 0.5g 55 kcals It's yummy

Count me in:)

ooohh, I've been out all day & at my development class all evening & it looks like I've missed all the entertainment. I thought I was the only one who found HIM very rude & extremely annoying. I've been dying to post some "choice" comments for days now but never mind, there's always tomorrow.:mad:

Sounds fine to me. Don't forget your water as well though.

:D:D:D

Thanks for the list sharon, it's really helpful.

Great news Kels, I'm so pleased & relieved for you.

What a great loss. I had my week 4 weigh in today & lost just 2lbs:sigh:. I know you are "doing your own thing" but what are you eating exactly?

You can by a cs thermos flask but not sure why anyone would buy one of those when any thermos would do the same job. I have one that's very small & holds just the right amount. Just fill it with iced water & make up the shake at work if you don't want to make it in advance.

Hi curvygirl & welcome aboard cs. We're all fairly new to this diet so learning together. Any questions you have, feel free to ask & I'm sure someone will be able to help you. We're a friendly bunch:D

:hide: Who you hiding from kels:D

I have learned that eating regulary is a much better way of losing weight than starving myself all day & then blowing the whole day's cals, carbs etc by stuffing my face with everything in sight. Oh & I've learned that my bladder holds a lot less water than I can consume in a day;)

I think the cost is really the deciding issue with most people. We know you can achieve great results (the weight loss tickers prove that) but it is an expensive way of losing weight long term. I love the principle of the diet &the taste of the shakes. It really suits me not having to think...

Well, my challenge was to spend 30mins on the wii fit each night, which I have. Also to prepare better by having the right snacks available............sorry.......could do better I'm afraid. Will do my best for the remainder of the month.

I looked at those in Tesco today but it says for "a treat when on a low carb diet". It doesn't say for meal replacement so I'm guessing they don't have all the nutrients in them that you need.

A stir fry with tiger prawns & a dash of teriyaki sauce followed by sugar free jelly & a spoon of natural yoghurt.

So sorry to hear your news Kels. Keep positive for both of you, it's no use dwelling on what might be. You need all your strength at the moment so the booze isn't the answer. You know you can always come on here for love & support when you need to, it's much more than just a weight loss forum:hug99:

The pharmacist where I go is male & he lost 3 stone between January when it launched in the uk & Mid March. The official CS site is Celebrity Slim Good luck, it's not as hard as I thought it would be.

Can't wait to hear if they work just as well. Good luck & keep us posted. Just bought my cs supplies today so will use these up first.

Is it the pudding ones you ordered as the other one says add skimmed milk?

I know that I could have a meal with less carbs etc but as I work "on the road", it's easier to have a shake. Half my problem in the past was just grabbing a sandwich or fast food when out working. I now just buy a bottle of cold water & mix my shake. it's one less thing to tink about. Thanks...

Kels, which version have you found that's cheaper? Does it have the same ingredients & carbs as CS? I've been looking at the Atkins shakes but they are also quite expensive. I'm enjoying the CS ones but must admit that if I could find a cheaper alternative, then I would be tempted myself. Hope...

Hey, well done you. No pressure on anyone else then;)

I personally don't think you need to add anything as they are tasty enough anyway.

Lost 3 lbs was hoping for 4 to make it 1 stone but still happy with that. :)

Wow, that's really good, well done.:happy096:

Course you were;)

Noooo that's my husbands name, looks nothing like that. He's definately not a Steve:)

You have way too much time on your hands:D

:gimi:You're all as mad as me:8855:

Don't like her though...too perfect & a bit snooty

Mmmm........looks like a Marcus or Max to me......definately not a Julian, Brian or a Trevor though. Maybe we should have a poll to suggest a name for him.

Wow.....well done & keep it up:)

Yes, his lycra shorts fit him really well too:o

Definately the first one.

Aren't they unbelievable? Mine told me to "just take 6 months holiday,travel the world & sort out my problems", when I was suffering with depression. :sigh: Bless!

Is your GP male by any chance?

Aw don't worry clare. You've had a rough few days & probably haven't eaten or drank enough. Your body was probably in starvation mode & that means you won't lose much.

Phew.....thought it was just me who'd lost it:D

He's my friend:o I have a little cyber crush on him:cupid:

Hi Mellib, I've just finished my 2nd week too & I know what you mean about jumping on the scales between official weigh ins. I do it all the time but your weight can vary between 2.2lbs in a few hours(I know that cos the nice man who talks to me through the wii fit told me):o I've promised I'm...

I'm Jan, I live in St Helens, Merseyside with my husband & 2 (nearly) grown up children. I put loads of weight on after my hysterectomy( & consequent hrt) 5 years ago. Did lose 3 stone with WW but as soon as I stopped attending classes after I hit my goal weight, it slowly crept back on again...

When I was having my vanilla shake today, I was thinking how it tasted of ice cream. Has anyone tried to mix theirs & put it in the freezer til almost frozen? Just thought it might be a bit like mini milk lollies.:drool:

I'm going to be more prepared with my snacks this month instead of just opening the fridge door & hoping for inspiration. I'm going to spend 30 mins doing wii fit every evening.

Hey, well done Kels, knew you could do it.

Well done Clare, :happy096:

Ah, so now I know who to blame when promo's are not as they should be;). Please tell me you are not responsible for the pos too:(

Hi sharon. My husband just does not agree with meal replacment diets & would be horrified if he knew the costs involved. He does know I'm on a low carb diet & is fine with that but thinks replacements are unhealthy. I've tried all the usual slimming classes & lost lots of weight over the years...

Had my 1st weigh in today...... -7.5lbs:D

Hi ladyvegas, I work out in the "field" as a sales rep calling on retail outlets around the north west. I merchandise, audit promos & sell in new lines. I've had a great weekend, just been for my 1st weigh & lost 7.5lbs:D

I went to the farmers market & lark Lane today & it was really good. I bought some more carb free sausage which are delic they are called silver city & are made from wild boar with pork, onions & chilli. (Last week I got the hot venison ones). I got some lamb kofta & also a beef chilli burger...

Where are you & I'll tell you which markets he's at near you & when. He travels around the north west to sat/sun farmers markets, tomorrow he's at Lark Lane in Liverpool (that's where I'm going) & this sun he's at Ashton u Lyne. I'm not sure if we're allowed to post links so will wait...

Can anyone tell me if you're allowed to post links on this site? I know of a butcher who handmakes & supplies carb free sausages & burgers. He delivers nationwide (don't know del costs but was told it's free if ordering over £30 worth). I live in the northwest & I also have a list of the farmers...

Hi, this is my 5th day & so far, so good. I've liked all the shakes but today thought I'd try the chicken soup for a change today. Wouldn't say it was horrible but it was definately "different", thought it was very sweet & it was ok as a free sample but not sure I'd buy it. My headaches have...

The whole bag is 65g & nutr value is protein 13.1g carbs 2.1g of which sugars 0.4g fat 6.5g of which sats 2.1g fibre 1.0g sodium 0.3g 119 kcals I've had the whole bag but unsure really if it's ok as I'm new too but I've heard others say they also have them. Maybe someone...

I'm on day 4 & feel great today but did have terrible headache for 2 days.

They are on offer in Morrisons at the moment for 77p. They also have chinese rib flavour (yummy) & southern fried chicken (unsure about taste but not too bad).

Was told by my pharmacist, under no circumstances to use boiling water to make the shakes as it kills off some of the nutrients in them. Also, as I have no blender, it would be dangerous to use the shaker to mix them, apparently, they can explode (this happened to one of the staff in the...

Right, today's the day. Had my first shake this morning(cafe latte) not too bad. How long do people put this in microwave for? I only did it for 1 min on 750w but it was barely warm & would prefer it a bit hotter but was frightened of nuking the nutrients in it. Also, a slight problem for me is...

Thanks, spent the last couple of hours reading through the book & it looks "quite" straightforward. Just need to get rid of all the "bad things" out of the fridge,cupboards etc & re stock with healthier options. Worried about all that water though, I have a weak bladder anyway:(. 5 days left to...

Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum with interest for a while & finally took the plunge & bought the starter pack. I will be starting on mon (2 meals out this weekend already booked). Initially went into Rowlands out of curiosity really but the pharmacist has been doing this since January...
