morning all! the longest ive ever managed SS was a month, which is when most of the biggest losses occur. and now i have two questions: 1: if the biggest losses happen in the first couple of weeks, apart from the crappy few days you get everytime you start is there anything to stop you doing...

ooh good one!

sage and onion stuffing...but that may be the diet talking

strawberries, the sea, and tinsel! i love the smell of tinsel!

you can cook your boyfriend a nice meal and get him muffins for his breakfast and not cry and want to cheat! AND just won an argument with a telesales guy about 'writing off your cards and loans.' haha

The reasons so many diets fail is because they are soley physical based....they never address the EMOTIONAL side of dieting, food, or self image. If it was as simple as 'just dont eat' then when ketosis had kicked in, none of us would cheat. physically, our body doesnt even want the food...

yeah i think maybe it affects your mind more than your body, its very hard to drum up first day excitement over and over!

I realise that even the most strong and self determined person can slip off SS every now and then. My question is, how does this affect your health to come on and off ketosis again and again? Does it affect your health, your metabolism or even your body going INTO ketosis if you get into it...

i found week 2 easier, because already i could see the results. the second weekend my boyfriend and my sister and i went shopping and they got fish and chips. i felt a bit sorry for myself for a minite until i realised my dress was baggy! youl find little things every week that spurn you on!

oh i cant bear give them away! im not taking them home because if iget hungry, especially at the weekends, i may crack during a weap period. i cant have any normal food in the house while on cd. at least if i hide them in my drawer i cant cheat because everyone at work will see me eat them! on...

my cdc told me that a few glasses and nibbles was ok as a one off, AS LONG as you still drunk all your water as well that day/

a collegue got back from geneva and gave me a bar of swiss chocolate as a present. if that wasnt bad enough my boss then gave me a box of lindor! and theyve been sitting in my drawer all day and i couldnt concentrate knowing thei were in there!

on my first week i lost twelve pounds, second week i lost 9 pounds, third week five pounds, my start weight was sixteen eleven and im five 9. but then i got distracted by christmas and it all went a bit wrong. however im now on day 3, again!

i think to start with your only meant to do gentle exercise on SS like walking. i knwo at first i barely manag the stairs sometimes, but my energy increases with time. i recently joined the ladies only gym for cardio, but seeing as im back on SS im just using the toning machines!

thanks for tthe advice all! i drank through a straw today and it helped massively! chocolate mints were my absolute face. one week i think that was the only flavour i ordered. but ive gone right off them now. i just close my eyes and drink it quick!its so worth it when you get weighed though

having been sucsessful at losing 30 pounds last year, and just getting a bit distracted by christmas, ive tried and failed a few times this year to get back into the swing of it. half the time its because ive not been in the right frame of mind, and the other half is because ive literally gagged...

im on the cambridge diet eve! a year ago i lost thirty pounds in five weeks. five pounds went on over christmas and teh rest stayed off until this summer when the whole lot went back on and then some extra pounds for good measure. i joined a gym and i feel much better about myself, however...

i find the quicker you get yourself back onto SS the easier it is. Previously iwouod come off for a few days to a week and getting back on was a nightmare for all reasons mentioned above. however this weekend i came off = i was so desperatly unhappy and weepy on saturday that i had some...

i dont some a massive amount purely because it makes me feel a bit dizzy and sick on an empty stomach!although sometimes if ive had a shake i go outside and hav a cigerette to counteract the fact it was so gross

thanks guys. its a total mental thing. ive never 'had' issues with being overweight or as that BS BMI chart says 'obese'. i have a fabulous life, amazing friends always had boyfriends, travelled the world...apart fromt he odd 'argh abd foto' blip i dont really care. but then...i guess i do or i...

the first day i started cambridge i rather stupidly didnt have a blender and attempted to hand whisk it/ fatal error. i cant stand the lumps although i know some people enjoy having something a but more solid in their mouths (ooh er) i got a little coffee frother from debenhams for £3 which...

lexy, that does help. but also doesnt. argh! im five nine and would be more than happy to be 14 stone , which means currently i am 2 stone and four pounds off so one part of me thinks 'another week and half of cambridge, an dthen lose the last stone and a half the easy way' and then the other...

i found i had awobbly walk, took me longer to get to work...make sure you drink plenty more water!

il give it some thought....im having friday night blues and my stupid blender has broken!

after two/three weeks when the biggest losses are done, to switching to slimming world. Because i did slimming world before and was losing 2/3 pound a week on that. and looking through everyones weight loss charts, thats what everyone seems to lose here. sooo...rather than go through this diet...

im on my first week and i admit to going once a day to those scales in Boots that announce to the whole shop what your doing (groan) but i will calm it down after this week because i know the weightloss isnt daily and i think to see it stay the same can be reason for me to drop off

my mum and aunt loved it. but just the smell of it literally made me gag!

Thanks everyone, it in a way is a little easier because i know when im tempted to cheat i know how dissapointed il feel after. i find lots of naps, lots of bubble baths and distrations a help = eg rather than watch tv and ce;ebrity masterchef, play online games instead!

Hello everyone!! Firstly i find this forum sooooo encouraging to read! I did SS in October and lost 23 pounds in three weeks...unfortunately I slipped, never got back on properly despite a few half hearted attempts and then gave up..until i weighed myself and discovered i had put ALL the...

hello all! ive not seen any posts about it, but did anyone else get terribly ill after being on ss and introducing food? i had a break after 3 weeks and ate a tiny poertion of chicken and i was so sick! i felt faint and had to lay down all night with unbelievable cramps. the next day i was...
