I would also find a new CDC. You dealt with your slip up in the right way, and she should be rewarding you for moving on and learning from it. Yelling is a big no-no. No one has the right to speak to you like that Bella xx PS. I hope you're not taking her words to heart?

Hi Big H I would speak to your CDC but you should be well out of Ketosis when you start drinking (see the thread on Dangers of Alcohol). I would probably go up to the 1000cal step for a week, starting at least a few days before the event. I had my first drink last Friday since January, it...

I had salmonella poisioning a few years ago which lasted about 6 weeks, lost loads of weight but put it all back on again when I got my appetite back. Have to agree with Emma, the cramps etc, so not worth it!

Well done Curly, you are doing so well. Am really pleased for you xx

That's so amazing, well done you!!! Have you come down from the ceiling yet??

Well Done MrsScoffalot - I had a similar moment a few weeks ago and I'll never forget the joy I felt.

Hi Ruth, my OH is a builder and I can get you some quotes if you like? Please PM me with the details and I'll get back to you ASAP. 21k for the windows sound ridiculous!

I have a tetra mid-morning when I'm on SS+. It feels like a snack rather than a meal, then I have lunch a little later. I struggled before with having 3 CD packs and a meal, I couldn't eat them all! This is what works for me.

Like everyone else has said, don't beat yourself up - it happens. This is a hard diet. Next time you want to cheat, remember this feeling now - how disappointed you are in yourself. That should outweigh the 2 minutes of glory you get from those crisps. You've done so well so far, you can...

Thanks guys. I was totally taken about by being in a size 10 already - it was my goal but I thought I had a few more lbs and a bit of toning to do before I got there. I think you're right about my counsellor, she has been totally supportive and very good to me throughout. Maybe I should give...

Am soooo happy, haven't been this size since I was at school, more years ago than I care to admit to... Saturday I was clearing out all my 'fat' clothes and came across a size 12 I had forgotten about - tried it on - too big!! So I raced out into town and tried on the first size 10 I could...

Well done Katy, it must be a great feeling. I can't wait till I'm there. Mia, don't beat yourself up - you slipped - now get up back up and keep on going. Remember how you feel now and this will stop you from slipping next time. WI tonight and think I have STS :-(

I had some of the Sex & the City DVD's and I buy myself the next series up for each stone. Only problem is I never get a chance to watch them!!

Thanks Linda - looks like no more SS for me then. This week have been on SS+ anyway so will stay on that, then move up.

Can I please also high-jack the thread to ask KD a question along similar lines? My BMI is 25.98 - should I be on 810 now? By my calculations I still need to lose another 5lbs before I'm a BMI of 25 exactly.

For me it was my mother. I see how much she struggles to do the simple things we take for granted, and it's all because of the extra weight she has carried since she was a teenager. I decided I don't want to be like, I don't want to be an old woman before I'm old (Mum is only 59). Bonus is I...

I got some great ones from Debenhams for £9, good luck.

Maybe I've been on SS too long... porridge & ketchup actually sounds good to me!

I had some trouble sleeping for the first week or 2, but since then I've been fine. The belly noises don't last too long either, at least you got yours at night - mine were in the day and I'm sure my boss could hear them from the other side of the desk!! Trust me, the beginning is the hardest...

I'm loving the peanut bars, in fact when I was off diet for 2 weeks I actually craved them! I find the chocolate ones too rich, I don't really like them.

Molly, I feel the same. Although I can see the weight loss I'm not as thin as I thought I would be at this stage. Looking at myself last night I realised it's because I'm carring a lot of loose skin. If that were gone I know I would have the figure I want (almost - am confident it's not going...

Hi Curly, I have weeks like that, sometimes there is a plateau. Do you get measurements during your WI? I always do and find that even if I've only dropped a little or no weight, the measurements show a loss. So, don't worry too much because even if the scales don't budge, your waistline...

Hi Bee I also have developed an eczema-like rash but never thought it would be to do with CD. I'm going to ask my CDC about it tonight, will let you know what she says. I have to admit that I'm not very good at drinking my 2.25ltrs of water and sometimes get itchy skin due to dehydration (a...

Forgot to add that my 3.5lb loss takes me to my halfway point! Technical question, why can't I update my signature? It says I have too many characters.

Oh dear, have been up and down the last couple of weeks. Did SS for a week but then had to cancel my meeting with Counsellor, then she cancelled... so I went a week without my CD meals and went off the rails, somehow I still managed to lose 3.5lbs tho. Miracle of miracles! Finally saw my CDC...

Why don't you have a look in the charity shops? Cheap clothes that you will only wear for a couple of weeks and then you can send them back where they came from! It's a great boost to buy a smaller size and it won't cost that much.

Poor you, sounds like you're having a really bad time of it! I can give you no better advice than what has already been said in the post 'Week 6 and struggling'. Have a look there for some great inspiriation, understanding and support.

Hi FooFan, I'm not sure about the weight loss problem but my CDC is great. She gives me advice and talks to me about why I overeat, how to change my habits and talks me through other problems I'm having as well. My appointments are generally 45mins to an hour and I get weighed and measured...

I don't know what happened to me at the weekend but I went mad! Ate pizza, chips, quorn burger and chocolate. This was all Friday night/Saturday. As of yesterday I'm back on SS but really disappointed in myself, I can't believe I got that out of control. I think it was just boredom. I was...

I think that by going on SS+ you will no longer be in ketosis, therefore the weight loss will slow down. However you will still be on VLCD and you should still lose something. I'm no expert, hopefully someone with more knowledge will be able to advise you better.

I agree Trim, never ask a persons age or weight. I'd turn the question back on them and ask their weight!

I know what you mean, I work with food and it's so hard not to pick up the left over crips or chocolates. The OH is very supportive and is loving my new body, even tho he never had an issue with the way I used to look

I dream about food too, always chips. I even ate them off the floor in one dream! My conscious is always there too make me feel guilty, I can't even be bad in my dreams.

when the OH gets takeaway

Thanks guys, it helps to know I'm not alone. I'm not craving sweet foods oddly enough - I want jacket potato, burgers, even a banana will do!!

I started on SS back on 6th Jan, I lost 1 & 1/2 stone before having to go off the diet for lack of funds. Luckily, in the 2 weeks I was off it I lost 1lb. Back on SS as of Monday, am doing well physically - not hungry, dizzy or suffering. However, I'm so moody! Yelled at OH for having choc...

Hi Jules, I've just registered and I'm shocked by your post. I understand why you're upset but please don't let it get you down. If someone tries to knock you down, then prove them wrong by making your resovle to succeed stronger, show them they are wrong by succeeding. However, you...
