I can so relate! TOTM and everything! although i have started moving up the plans, as i have reached my goal of being a size 14, and started the gym in earnest, so need the extra energy.... WI last night showed a reduction of....wait for it..... 0.6lbs.... SCREEEEEEEEEAAAAM!!!! How unfair is...

Thanks guys, yesterday went ok, and i hit the gym after work - went ok - couldnt believe how much easier it is to jog being 3 stone lighter! still enjoying the increased food allowance - had shredded wheat for breakfast this morning, a little tough going with no fruit on top, may stick to...

The start of 1000 Hi all Thanks for your kind comments, i have nearly completed my 1st day on 1000, and it didnt go too badly! Have to say, i ache like hell from the gym on Monday! I went for a re-program, as hadnt been since before I started CD and boy am i feeling it! Sitting on the loo...

Hi all, I am new to this part of the site, but although i am not at my goal - i feel it is time that i start moving up the plans and begin to incorporate the gym and exercise back into my life. I have completed 10 weeks on SS, 2 on SS+, and today is the last day of 2 weeks on 810, with...

i managed to find some Glycerin sypositories in Morrisons! they were £1.24 for 12! they really work - just not great getting them in, and you really have to make sure you keep it in for 20-30 minutes, but boy, do they work for me!!!

I have people say you look fab you must be at goal now surely you dont want to lose anymore.. I just say nearly there. - Curlywurly - its exactly what everyone says to me! my sis at a BBQ at the weekend said 'its the smallest i have seen you in years' like that ok then, obviously dont need to...

Hi all, i have been naughty, and got on my scales this morning, as i was so disappointed to not have reached my May challenge of getting in the 12's, and i also went out to dinner for my OH birthday - i was good and stuck to 810 - telephoned the restaurant beforehand and they made me something...

Hi ya i am just moving up to 810 for week 13, but i found that by week 10 i felt like i needed something more, so my CDC suggested i move to SS+ - it was the best thing i have ever done! instead of spacing out the shakes, i could have them at times when i felt i wanted them, knowing that i...

Hi all, I am sorry, i have not started yet, my body (after skipping a month) decided to give me the TOTM from HELL yesterday, and i can barely move today :-( Give me a couple of days, and i will be all guns blazing! well done to everyone so far! xx

gonna start tomorrow, as i am now off to bed, spent the weekend camping and the lack of sleep has caught up with me!! well done everyone that managed some today!

BTW Alexmummy - fantastic pics! you look fantastic!!!!

Hi, i'd like to give it a go! my OH bought me a pink ball thingy for my birthday - one to support your back when you are doing sit ups, i got as far as pumping it up..... my belly is the one thing that is really getting me down, i have always had a fat arse and thighs and even though i dont...

Hi all just wanted to share as i am so excited! had my 11 week WI last night, and am now 41.2lbs lighter! my original goal, as i was not sure what weight i wanted to be really, was to fit into my size 14 jeans that have languished under the bed in my suitcase for the past 4 years. I...

cucumber and celery repeating on me a bit!!!! think i and my fellow tai chi'ers are in for a fun night! lol

Hi all thanks for your replies. i decided to add a meal - one of the reasons is that i have been so tired, struggling to stay awake past 8pm! so i had a chicken breast with herbs wrapped in foil baked for 22 minutes, with some watercress, cucumber, radish and celery. now having a coffee, as...

Hi i have just returned from my week 10 WI, and although i am over the moon that i am in total 37lbs lighter, i only managed to shift 1lb this week.:confused: i have stuck to SS (with a little bit of milk in my tea/coffee) for the whole 10 weeks - NO wobbles what so ever, and i have been to...

Hi Witchy yes, its pretty normal, do a thread search for constipation - lots of ideas to help on the issue. i have been using lactulose, but i have only lost 1lb this week, so going to stop for a week to see if that helps, and give SS+ a 200 cal meal a go - maybe the greens may help x

Hi Dude*bear are you holding onto anything else? you know number 2 wise?? its just that this diet has made my body very reluctant to get rid of anything apart from water!! and i find that can have an impact on my losses. i am on week 10 - weigh in tonight :-( getting closer to moving up to...

Wow, glad it isnt just me!! i shall definitely give Sainsbury's a go later then. Thanks all - it does feel so much better having a rant, and my OH appreciates that its not at him getting it for a change!!! xx

Hi all now i am feeling a tad bit sorry for myself :rolleyes: I know i have done fantastically well, (i keep telling myself this!) so i went shopping for some 3/4 length trousers so i can go cycling. All i asked is that they were a size 16. could i get any?????? NO. it doesnt help that my...

so very well done, lets pat each other on the back!! xx

Thanks Guys I am really chuffed! 22lbs to go, although this may change as i get closer - may want to get rid of a little more whilst i am at it! x

hi all just wanted to share, my week 9 weigh in and i am now officially just 'overweight' - does this mean that my Wii Fit will no longer groan when i get on???? lol ;) Tracy

Hello I am on week nine - and i still get light-headed sometimes! Not so much now, but normally around the time when i need a shake as i have got engrossed in something and am late taking it - the body way of telling you! chin up - the results are worth all the little things - promise! x

Hi all I am feeling a little sorry for myself today, as its my birthday tomorrow, and usually i get taken to my fav restaurant and treated to a lovely meal, and at the weekend have a BBQ with friends and family. obviously this is not happening this year - as i am not going to prepare and...

Furrysmudge, i dont know about you, but i felt like i had 2 melons attached to my chest!!! I have lost nearly 5 inches from my bust, and its made me feel so much better. I feel for you i really do if its not moving from there for you, but it goes from different places for different people...

Yes, photo's on facebook did it for me too, along with my massive 36GG boobs! My shoulders were killing me every night - poor OH had to rub them!! lol i am happy to report that they are now a manageable 34F, although OH not too impressed - but on the bright side - his hands arent killing him so...

hi ya i am on week 7 now, and the 1st week is a very distant memory, although i remind myself of it if ever i smell something nice! there is no 2 ways about it, the 1st week is hell on earth - headaches, tiredness, hungry, cold, you name it i felt it! but, please give it a chance - i am so...

i swear by massage! i visit a sports therapist pretty much every week - (as i am not drinking wine/buying clothes/going out - thought i deserved a weekly treat!) He wants to help me lose my celulite! Its fantastic - but can be painful. He says that normally a deep tissue massage will need to...

Thanks - will give the word association a go!

Hi ya I started CD 6 weeks ago, and 2 weeks in went to my gym to say that i wanted to re-programme due to the VLCD. The instructor was so negative about CD, but she did say that cardio exercise when on VLCD could cause issues, and i would more than likely pass out, as i was not consuming...

Dear KD just tried to go on SS only, but i am not allowed to post, due to not having 50 posts. to me this seems rather strange, as you start the CD on SS when you dont want to talk/read about food - but you have to go onto forums that mention food, post 50 times and then are allowed on a...

I love cooking, and have enjoyed making things for my OH, but its all pretty experimental, as i cant taste anything to see if its ok!!! He hasnt keeled over yet, though a chilli i made the other night nearly did it! lol We have friends coming for dinner next Friday, and i am fine with it, but i...

Hi ya You have done fab! My counsillor has these really cool scales, they measure your weight, body fat KG and %, muscle KG and %, bone, water KG and %, BMR and everything! i get a printout every week, and even if i only reduce by 1.1lb weight wise, the fat goes more - so it is muscle and...

Hi Tinyjan Good luck with your CD challenge! I am on my 6th week, and to be honest i kept telling myself 'i'll only SS for a couple of weeks, and then i'll move up' but after the 1st week of headaches and feeling yuk, i came out the other end and am just taking each day at a time. still...

social gatherings are the hardest, but dont give up, you have done great by returning to it 100% and being positive. 'just keep swimming, just keep swimming...' and you will get there! xx

Thanks everyone, I keep telling myself look at the bigger picture, but when you stick to something 100% it is really disheartening. On a brighter note, i did go through my wardrobe and donate to charity/wheelie bin 5 black sacks of old clothes! my OH has promised to take me to Lakeside...

Help please just had my wk 5 WI, only lost 1.1lb :-( i cant believe it, i have been 100% SS no cheating or anything, drinking loads and only 1.1lbs now i know that i am just finishing TOTM, but i have cycled, been really active and am just so disappointed. anyone else felt like...

Hi ya my councillor is Jo Scott, Mike's wife, they are both inspirational! try his blog mycambridgelife.co.uk its really good, plus he has another site that he posts letters and thoughts on every week, really positive reading. In a way though, its only you that can make the change to your...

hi everyone is/has anyone else suffered from really dry hands? i keep putting on hand cream, but it just doesnt make any impact, went to bed caked in it with mittons on, they are a little better, but still rough. its making the skin on my fingers really weak, and i have big gouges out...

Hi everyone! Now i am in shock, i cannot believe it! weigh-in tonight, after 22 days on SS 100% and drinking anything from 5 to 8 pints of water + other black tea etc everyday, and i get Cystitis! Now thinking about it, it could be coming up to my TOTM (great for my 3rd weigh-in) but...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone else is struggling at the thought of moving up to 810 from SS? My weigh-in is on Wednesday, and i was planning to move up, as i want to start exercising, and being on SS means my legs ache just walking up the stairs! I have to admit being a little...

Hello gang i have been reading your thread, i never dreamed that anything like this would be on the net, but it is really encouraging to hear from other people in the same boat. thanks x

don't beat yourself up about it, it will just make you feel bad. instead look at what you have achieved so far, and then look forward to your goal, and revel in how good you will feel when you reach it. x next time it happens, ask yourself 'Is my desire to eat/drink greater than that of my...

my CDC is a nurse, and told me Sennacot is absolutely fine, and can be used whenever you need it, and i have!

Hi everyone, well, i had my weigh in on Wednesday, and i lost 12.6lbs!!!! my CDC has some really cool scales, and i lost 6.4lbs of fat and the rest was water. i have been away for the past 2 days, staying with friends and went out clubbing, i tell you, i cannot believe i managed to stick to...

Hi This is my 1st post, i joined today, and not really sure what to do! i am on Sole source Cambridge diet, and am on my 8th day, weigh in tonight!
