I am thinking of using protien shakes as meal repalcements and then have a small balanced dinner in the evening EG veg with chicken or fish. Do you think I will still be able to loose weight as effectivley as CD on this plan?

Hi scarlett, Yes feeling back in the swing of things now, felt ok today until this evening had a bit of a headache and felt a bit sick but drank more water and had a lie down. Feeling ok now. Its funny only my 2nd day and my tummy feels less bloated.

Hi DQ, yes trying to get rid of the inches in time for a friends wedding in Italy. Going at the begining of June. Mustdoit - nah havent binned hubby yet!

Redbush tea is nice

Hi Scarlett ! Good luck and dont forget you are not alone on this journey. I too did CD last March and lost over 2st only to put it back on. I find posting on here helps as I dont feel so alone. I am staying positive and remembering how good it felt last time round when I lost the weight...

Thanks! On day 2 now and still feeling ok. :)

Ah, day one is almost over, just had my last pack of the day and I am happy to say I have not been hungry or feeling sick and dizzy yet. I have been spending most of the day going back and fourth to toilet though! Hubby says he could tell I had not been eating today as my breath was smelly...

Good luck Fuffa I am in the same boat going to go back on CD tomorrow. Lost 2 stones last yr but returned to my old habits and have put weight that I lost back on. Kind of dredding it but also looking forward to loosing the weight.

Thanks Mini. I will be aimming to reduce my carb intake over weekend to reduce withdrawal effects.

I started CD last March and things were going very well i was about 7lbs away from target when I moved away from my CD counsellor and slowly gave gave up. I now have gained all the weight I had lost and I am upset with the way I look and feel. I have got almost a months supply left and still...

I was having the same problems, doing WW now but not happy with slow progress. Think the others are right try the 790 approach and at least you will have a meal to look forward to on an evening. Good luck and keep us posted on how you do.

Hello people! I have not been on for at leat 3 months and finally got back onto internet. I had started to maintain after losing and now my bad habits are slowly creeping its way back in. I am a bit of a dust bin at the mo eat what ever there is with no real thought. I want to get back into...

Thanks for the replies, I have spoken to my CDC and she also recomends 790, why is the last stone so so hard?

Hi Guys sorry to be so down but I need some advice. I have lost 2st on CD and up until 3 and a half wks ago I lost the plot and started eating and drinking again, since then I have got back on cd and I am on day 4 but really struggling with SS. Should I start going onto 790? I get so hungry I...

Hello, I am on day 3 and feeling rather hungry and dizzy, I have been drinking plenty of water to help with dizziness. As for soups you can add pepper and chill powder but no sauces as it may knock you out of ketosis.

Ah thanks! Just text my counsellor and she told me to weigh on Thurs (my usual weigh in day) so I will keep you posted.

Thanks for the replies, I suppose you guys are right, I will weigh myself.

Just a quick hello! Its day one for me again things are going ok so far, not really thought about food. However, theres one thing. I am really scarred to weigh myself. I have been on a 3 wk eating and drinking fest and now I am not sure if I should weigh or not.

Hi there, I know how you feel I am going through a nightmare at the moment and and I am trying to get back on the wagon too. If we did before we can do it again - fresh start. I am glad we have this site because I know that there are others who know how I feel.

Hi Debs, I have been lurking on your diary and noticed that you only have 11lb to go, I too have 11lb to go too however, I am finding it v difficult in staying focused. I am now on 790 and have been straying and nibbling for the past wk. Back on track now.

Hi lancslass53, I have 11 lb to loose and I must admit its not getting any easier, good luck with your last 12lb! :)

Thanks for the replies!! Took me 10 wks, been a little side tracked on 790 now and been nibbling but back on track now.

Well Done!!

welcome back! Good luck

Its a bit of a delayed reaction, I got weighed last night and lost 3lb after a bit of a blip. So in total I have lost 2 stone!! :D I have another 11lb to go. I just wanted to say my counselor D_Q is fab! and she has been so sussportive throughout my journey. :thankyou:

I am approaching my last goal before I get to goal and I wanted to know how other CDers have found thier last stone loss went or is going.

Thanks for the replies! I get weighed on Thurs. I have learnt that I am only human and the whole point in this diet was to teach myself that I change. Eating like that last night made me realise that food does not make me feel happy and that I only crave when things get on top of me. I want...

I have been on CD for about 9 almost 10 wks and have not cheated up until last night. I am due move to next step 790 and for some reason I just went crazy and ate all the wrong things I picked at lots of carbs. Nuts, bread, pasta, biscuits crisps and sweets. For a moment I felt really guilty...

yes I will, I just want to thanks for all your help!!:thankyou: :thankyou:

Just had my 9th weigh in tonight and lost 2lb. In total I have lost 25lb and now fit into a size 10! :D Now its getting closer to my target I have found it so difficult, the voices in my head keep telling me I want food and its driving crazy and making me sad:sigh: . As from next wk I can...

Thanks for the replies Mini and D-Q, I will stay strong.

Yes Mini its so true, it is frustrating and its making me rather unhappy but I am determined to stick it out.

Thanks for the reply Poohbearmufc. Its just so hard at the moment, at the beginning it was not too bad didnt really feel hungry or think about food but now I am always thinking about eating even if i try not to. I get weighed tomorrow night so I will have a chat with my councelor

I know how you feel too, I have another 17lb to go and it feels so hard at the moment. I have not really cheated but I am fighting to stick to it. Just think you have come so far, I made the same mistake when I did WW got down to a point where I had a stone to go and gave up as I was so sick...

I havent posted on here for a while just been lurking, I have another 17lb to go before I reach goal and I dont know why but I am rather fed up of of CDing I have been as strong as I can and kinda cheated on Sunday and had a small piece of cod with my soup. Its funny because I am so close but it...

I have been SS for 7 wks now and not really been hungry until this wk. I dont know if it down to TOTM but I am so hungry even after loads of water. I have managed to stay strong and not give in though :) Is this normal? and Does anyone else feel this?

Yeah I was well surprised because of the smaller losses the wks before. Thanks for the little dance! :D

Yeah will have to, how are you doing today D-Q heard you fainted at doctors. Take it easy and hope you are not in too much pain. ;)

Thanks for the replies, yeah I will have start chopping a bit off, dont have a cat only a guinea pig I dont think he likes fish:)

I have been on AAM since thurs and I have been using those square blocks of frozen cod fish however I have weighed one today and they are 10g over the recommended amount I should be having. Will this stop me from losing weight?:confused:

Its my 5th wk and since the weather has got warmer I have discovered that all the chewy bars are really difficult to eat they are making me gag and the soup is making me feel sick too. I have ordered all cranberry bars for next wk and the only 2 flavours that I can stomach (oriental chilli and...

Hello Peeps. Just had my 3rd weigh in and only lost a pound this wk, I was so sure I had lost more as I can tell my belly has got down slightly and trousers dont feel as tight. I am not gonna give up but can everyone tell me if they have had similar experience? :sigh:

Hello please can someone tell me if I am allowed to have Redbush Tea? I am not sure if its a leaf tea or not.

i mean cd ers who are same height. Hee hee

Hello I am only 4ft 9 and would like to know if there are any other cd ers out there and what is your goal weight?:wavey:

Thanks D_Q I had managed to drink 3 litres yeasterday and aiming for to do the same today.

I know its pretty sad of me to inform you guys that i have had a toffee bar but i am feeling guilty for eating it. I am rather scarred that i wont lose any weight after eating it. Am i going crazy? Had a peanut bar yesterday and YUK did not enjoy. I know its trial and error because we are...

Thanks D_Q I have already downed a litre! Hope you feel better soon.

well done! Bet you are feeling fab!

I have just had my 2nd weigh in and i am slightly dissapointed with myself. Only lost 3lb was hoping I would loose a little more. Wk two on CD and I had stopped feeling hungry so I have slacked on drinking water. I have learnt my lesson and now on a mission to drink at least 2 and a half or...

Hi D_Q, Yep I am based in the south.

Hi Guys! As of this Friday I can start having food bars but I am scared that they will slow my weight loss. How did the bars effect you? I want to try the bars as i do not like the shakes and can only stomach Banana Tetras.

Hi everyone! I am wanting to loose another 2 and a half st so I will keep you informed on how things are going.

Hello Everyone! I have recently started on CD on my 8th day now and got weighed last night, lost 6lb. I look forward to sharing my journey with you guys. ;)
