Hi Jax77, I regularly make jelly (almost every other day!) and dont know what I would do without it!! It's yummy and gr8 with tetra ice-cream! (big kid I know with my jelly & ice-cream love!) :o I use, 1.5 spoons of mix-a-mousse, a small spoon of water flavouring and one pint of water, put...

Hiya, i'd have to agree and say it's the dreaded plateau! This happened to me just recently, over the course of about 4 weeks i only lost about 4lb!! it was sooo frustrating (i'm on 810 btw) i spoke with my CDC and she suggested that actually maybe I was not eating enough and therefore my body...

Hiya Luci! Try not to panic! I think it may look a lot more complex than it really is, when i first started on 810 i only ate salads! tear up a few salad leaves, and had them with either tuna or cottage cheese or some ready cooked chicken from asda and then just added herbs and ground black...

Hi Foo Fan I'm on 810 but my sister was doing SS and moved to SS+ and her losses actually increased as she kick started her metabolism, since doing SS+ she has decided to stick with it as it is much easier for her to follow and her weight losses seem better. Might be worth, as you suggest...

i live on frozen tetras! 3-4 hrs gives you a nice ice-creamy mush :D I take mine to work with me though so during the week i leave them in overnight and then take them to work with me and leave them in the fridge and by the time it gets to about 11am (for brekkie) and about 2-3pm-ish (for...

Oooooo are we allowed parsnips?? :eek: I didnt think we were!! I love them so would be V happy if we were!! :) I kno what you mean about the cooking thing! I've been experimenting loads and love cooking my meals now!! Lots of positives for CD and this is def one of them! :) xxx

hiya, tetra's are pre-mixed shakes, slightly thicker in consistency than if you were to mix them urself! I didnt like the soups and wasnt keen on the porridge and i'm not a big choc fan! lol! so i live on frozen banana (and the odd strawberry) tetra's!! They turn out like ice-cream if frozen for...

you look amazinggg!! i love seeing pics as they are sooo inspiring! thank you for sharing :) and a huge well done, fantastic achievement :) xxx

I live on frozen tetras! absolutely love them!! I find a few hrs (3-4) in the freezer turns them into a nice ice-creamy mush! depends how icy u like them... I tend to leave mine in the freezer overnight and then take them out and leave them in the fridge in the morning to let them defrost a...

wowee you look fantastic, you can really see a difference, definitely inspiring :) xxx

no blaming, just learning! i agree, get back on track for the rest of the day and start tomorrow afresh and everything will seem much better :) xxx

sometimes thats all it takes, but once it does click theres no stopping you! i'm sure you can do it, good luck, 6lb is a great loss, i'm sure there are many more to come :) xxx

Hey Gemmie-Lou first thing to do is not to panic!! so long as you get straight back on that wagon i'm sure you will be fine, you just need to put those days behind you and keep looking forward, you cant undo what was done yday but you do have the power to make the next few days/weeks/months...

Hi Everyone... Another couple i've tried and fallen in love with!! so much so i think i would keep having them even after the diet! Mock Shepherds Pie: The base of this is made from quorn mince - which I cook in a frying pan straight from frozen, adding in herbs (normally my usual...

Hi Emma Just wanted to add some big hugs in here for you :hug99: as everyone else has already said, it's definitely about putting that day behind you and looking forward, many of us have slipped up here and there but its what you do after the slip up that counts the most, so keep strong and...

Hi Athena, sorry I must have completely missed this post! How are you getting on now? Do you feel more usd to it? Hope all is going well :) xxx

Oops sorry, will try this one now :) x

Hiya! My sister is currently on SS and went up to 810 for a week and her losses went up to a fab 8lb in that one week! I think its definitely helps kick start ur metabolism if its slowing down :) xxx

I do exactly the same as memphis, on the same time line!! :) Those 1L bottles are definitely deceptive and easy to keep on you if ur on the go or out and about, by the time I get home from work I've already had 3L and only have one more to go (I have 4L a day) if I do go out with friends I stick...

Definitely! I've tried that jelly and its been my saviour many a time when i've felt the need for an extra nibble! Its quite nice with a frozen tetra as well! Jelly and Ice-cream! yummy! :) hehe! I've also tried adding the mix-a-mousse to coke zero (on recommendation from cdc) and made a coke...

Awww sorry you had a tough day :hug99: it definitely does get better though, everyone's different but once you get into ketosis (I think for most people after the 3rd day) it definitely feels a lot easier to cope with and a lot more positive. I still have the odd bad/grumpy day here and there...

congratulationssss!! fantastic news :) xxx

It definitely does get easier and it will pay off even though it may not feel like it now, once you hit Ketosis you will feel sooooo much better and more positive. Then after your first weigh in it will be even more of a boost! Stick with minimins as I find this site soooo useful, esp when...

I totally totally totally agree!! I heard about this diet by chance in a passing conversation at work, researched it and was instantly amazed at the quick weight losses, nutritional value and gr8 support system. It was by pure luck that I found out about it and I only wish i'd known about it...

I know the feeling, i've had small losses too recently and this week I fear I may have STS (totm) but the main thing is the scales are moving in the right direction (when they do move) and I think looking at the overall loss in the short timeframe definitely helps! :) For me once one of my...

Thats a really amazinggg loss, my loss in my 1st week was only 3lb which was super disheartening as i'd built it up so much and was expecting something much bigger, I think the main thing to remember is that we're all different and our bodies all react to things differently so it's best not to...

wowee thats amazing!! congrats :) xxx

Congratulations! Thats a really gr8 loss :) This diet is definitely the only one i've ever stuck to 100%, I'm sure it will continue! xxx

Woweeee!! That is FAB!! Congratulationssss :) xxx

Can I have two?? :o Banana Tetra's (frozen as yummy banana ice-cream) and Toffee Bars are all I live on!! I love them and would happily carry on with them after the diet!! :p xxx

Hiya I'm doing 810 also, everyone on this site is V friendly and extremely helpful :) there are also some good threads on 810 meal ideas as well, i'd definitely advise checking those out! Good luck and look forward to seeing your losses! xxx

I live on tetra ice-cream!! I especially like Banana ice-cream for breakfast and lunch and have them pretty much everyday! It depends how long you freeze them for as to how long you leave it out for before eating, if i've frozen them overnight I tend to leave mine out for about an hour first (as...

Hi Petrina, I'm in the same situation and our stats are kind of similar, although i'm still struggling to drop below the 10st mark and losing only 1lb a week, my next WI is on Saturday and I fear this week I will STS. It's really tough to stay motivated when it's this slow so I completely...

My sister absolutely loves the Vanilla shakes and she adds some instant coffee to them and some ice like a frappuccino type thing! I've also read somewhere on another thread (sorry can't remember where..) that the citrus/orange flavouring added to this shake with mix-a-mousse tastes just like...

Hi all, Here are a couple of ideas I have tried and really enjoyed! sorry if they've already been posted as I haven't read all of the thread... Cauliflower Cheese: 1. Chop up some cauliflower, and some strips of courgettes 2. Boil up the cauliflower until it starts to soften (only takes a...

Hiya, I love mint sauce too but am not sure if it's allowed, i'm guessing prob not (as I think it has vinegar/salt/sugar in) but i'm on 810 and have been told I can have some low fat/fat free natural yoghurt in place of my milk allowance (as i'm not keen on milk) so I blend up some fresh mint...

I thought I was the only one!! This is why I love this site! Although I am fairly early on into my CD journey I have also noticed the two bad week/two good week thing! (the bad ones seem to be the wk b4 totm and the wk of totm) It was really getting to me but I feel better knowing it's not just...

Hi Munchalot!! I'm not sure about the smoked fish but as far as I know onions are a big no no! I tend to buy plain cottage cheese and then just add fresh herbs (mainly coriander) and pepper to it. xx

I'm the same too! I can't seem to help but weigh myself no matter what I do! It has both a positive (when I lose lb's) and negative (when I STS - esp for several days) impact on my mood! I think i've realised now that I don't think i'm going to be able to stop weighing myself everyday, although...

Thanks so much for the support everyone, it really does help, feeling much better now :) I just got back from my weigh in and my CDC also put it down to water retention but I seem to have lost a few inches which is great! This week I will definitely do my best to stay away from the scales and...

Hey everyone, I'm sorry for the miserable post 1st thing in the morning but I'm so confused and getting a little disheartened and wondered if anyone could help me? I am a serial weigher, but just once everyday in the mornings, I just find I stay on track and motivated that way, every week I...

Yep i think so, unfortunately i seem to be one of the slower ones! Wow thats fab!! 7" from 11 days!! people do seem to say that if you lose inches u tend to lose less weight and vice versa! I know i have had inch loss as my clothes are looser for me, i'm at that awkward inbetween stage...

It will be ok! It has to be! Hiya, I only lost 3lb in my first week and 3lb in my second week so i'm a slow starter as well, i'm in week 3 now and sticking to it and hoping for a bigger loss! I think this may be my week!! but either way i'm happy the scales are moving in the right direction for...

Hi all I started CD at the beginning of last week, I only lost 3lb in my first week :sigh: this week so far i have lost another 3lb... with my second weigh in due tomorrow. I am 5'2 and weigh in at 10st 10lb as at this morning!! Is this normal weight loss for someone my weight? It just seems...
