Just keep thinking of yourself in that wedding dress and how it will affect your day if you are concious of rolls of flab showing through your dress or if your arms are all flabby!! You can do this! x

Thanks! Is it around 3 litres a day you need to drink? I'm going to try and space it out with 500mls every couple of hrs I think...

Hey everyone, I've decided to start the CD on Monday. I tried it last year and never stuck to it, I've managed to lose 20 something lbs by doing SW and now feel like there's less of a mountain to climb so I'm going to try SS-ing it for 8 weeks as a kick start then see how I get on. I've got a...

Dunno what the points are but just had to say oh my god abrakebabra!!! That made my trip to Dublin 4 years ago I can't believe it's still going. What a place haha.

Thanks :) I worked it out just now and had I picked coke zero instead of milkshake I would've been sooo much better, really need to get into the mindset of thinking points all the time! I think i'll just have to start again today. Even if I dropped my points by 4 a day it still wouldn't...

Well all was going well until yesterday. We decided to take the little un for her first trip to the seaside. I had a couple of those sugary doughnuts and then we all went to McDonalds. Not even thinking about the diet I ordered my usual - McChicken sandwich, large fries and large strawb...

I was going to make spag bol for tea with turkey mince but i'm a bit confused on the points. Do I weigh the mince and pasta uncooked? Does anyone have the correct points values? All the sauce is made from 0 points veg so i'm ok with that. Thanks x

Ha... ashamed to say I bought a fitness DVD in January (with all good intentions... as you do!) Used it once :ashamed0005: I just find that by the time I get home from work (6ish) then give Lexie her tea (she's 10 months old) then play with her for a bit before bath/bed time at 8ish, then...

I don't really have time to exercise to be honest. I work full time then have to get home to my little girl so trips to the gym etc are out. I'm thinking of buying a cross trainer as soon as funds allow. Good to know I can plan a night out tho and not have to worry about going over points if...

Hi all i'm Katie and today is my first day on weight watchers. I've jumped ship after doing the Cambridge Diet for 3 weeks but being so restricted was driving me insane!! I've hardly seen any friends for fear of falling off the diet, and when I did see them... I fell off the diet lol. I...

Cheers girls. I hope it appears soon too. My OH will have a nervous breakdown if i'm up the duff :D

Just wondered... :confused:

I've been having a can of diet coke a day and still lost weight (on my second week now). I know you're not supposed to but my CDC told me that she used to have a can of coke zero every day when she was on SS because she doesn't think she would've been able to do it without it and she lost the...

Thanks xxx I know a lot of people lost a lot more in the first week but even so, it's a tenth of the weight I need to lose in one go! Really impressed :D

I don't think you can see pics until you have over 50 posts hun. When you do you click on Profile Albums. Emma - you look great!! x

Get some 0 point soup down you :D Good luck x

I asked the question about chewing gum the other day because I can't stop myself picking when i'm feeding my daughter (she's 10 months old) and thought if I was chewing gum then it would prevent me putting the odd bit of bread or whatever in my mouth that she wasn't going to finish. KD...

Well after my first weeks disaster when I gained 1lb last night I had my first official WI Part 2... And lost 7lb! :D Can't believe it half a stone in a week. It's definately motivating!

See... I want a bit of both :D I want the quick and motivational weight loss like as I said, a 'kick start' (giving myself until 15th june as that weeks it's my daughters 1st birthday, my 26th and my mums 60th so there's going to be treats all round) but after that, to lose 1-2lbs a week will be...

Hi KD, just wondered... does this mean that if I was to suddenly switch from CD to say Weight Watchers then i'd more than likely put all the weight straight back on? My plan was to follow CD sole source to give me a 'kick start' if you like and then switch to WW after 9-10 weeks to 'finish off'...

Well done! It's so motivating to read things like this.

Hey hun, I did something similar on my day 7 (well not quite so healthy, I ordered chicken fried rice :ashamed0005:) and it kicked me out of ketosis and my first weigh in was really rubbish!!! Good news is I cried after my first weigh in and decided to go at it full force this week because i'd...

I get the same message. Hope someone can shed some light on this!

I'm 5ft7 as well and manage fine on 3 sachets a day. I get charged just over £35 for a weeks supply x

I'm exactly the same. I'm off and on like a yo-yo. My OH says I have OCW (obsessive compulsive weighing!). They go up and down all day long though it's so confusing!!

I agree with the others, I would try one of the higher calorie plans but stay on CD. I'm HATING not having any food and thinking of doing the same because having the shakes even if i'm adding food is still giving me some degree of control, as to if I was just 'let loose' on eating iykwim. Good...

Ahh you know I think it might be the water! Mon - Wed I was in work and constantly going back and forwards to the cooler and I drank loads. Last 2 days i've been at home and running round after the little un i've kinda forgotten about it. I will try and swig a few glasses down and see how that...

I started properly on monday and have stuck to it 100%, but instead of getting easier it seems to have gotten harder! I've been MUCH hungrier yesterday and today than I was the first 3 days and i'm now so hungry it actually hurts. I've had all 3 shakes already (the last one 10 mins ago which...

I'm on day 4 and still really hungry! Got to do this though, this is Day 4, Part 2 after a monumentous fcuk up last week (I managed to gain 1lb!) Will stick with this together!! x

Ohh it doesn't make me hungry, in fact it helps if I can chew gum when I'm feeding the little un because that stops me wanting to put HER food in my mouth! Will go buy some today :D

:D Cheers KD. Another question now, why can't we have sugarfree gum on the diet? Another thing I wondered...

My CDC said to me 'make sure you drink 3 litres of water as it'll help the loss' Just wondering how? (I'm one of those people who needs to know how things work before I believe em :) ) I thought it was either so you didn't get dehydrated, or to fill you up? Thanks x

Thanks everyone. I'm now on 'Day 2, Take 2' and have stuck to it 100%. I'm determined to be in my size 16's by the Summer Solstice (my birthday!) x

Hey, I know how you feel. Me and my OH have pretty much split up this weekend and i've reached for the chocolate as well. Then I had my WI and i'd gained 1lb which just left me in tears. I've got back on it yesterday and i'm sticking to it 100%. I don't know about you, but I know a lot of the...

Morning everyone. I'm on Day 2 (again). Decided to just write last week off as a (very) bad job and started again yesterday. No picking at little bits, no drinking stuff I shouldn't, no chewing gum, and drinking plenty of water. Good luck to all those who have weigh ins an those trying to...

I guess all you can do is get back on it. I feel like a big fat failure at the min as well so i've decided i'm going to take myself away from situations like drinks with friends etc just for a couple of weeks until I can get myself back on track. I have shockingly little willpower!! Be strong xx

...and I put on 1lb!! I had the day off on day 4 due to a real nasty sickness bug and ate some toast, and some chicken and rice, but got straight back on it :confused: Have stuck to it otherwise (apart from my 'picking' habits as discussed on a prev thread - stuff like a single crisp one...

I don't think eating nothing at all is very healthy hun, you need something inside you x

I'm exactly the same! I had a sickness bug and after i've had that I can't face the porridge without gipping. It's awful! Like you I had to ring my CDC to come and swap them because there's no way I would've stuck to it otherwise. If she couldn't have got to me for a day or so though I...

What is the price difference?

Oh no you haven't come across as funny i've found your info really useful. Had no idea that just 67 cals a day puts on half a stone! Spraying with anti-bac is a good idea I will try that. Currently looking for a 'fat photo' as well to put up in the kitchen where said 'picking' takes place (only...

As the title says, I can't stop picking. This is my 6th day now on SS, (bar day 4 I came off it as I had a horrible sickness bug) and every single day i've picked at something as well as my shakes! Now don't get me wrong, my total 'picks' probably don't total up very much in calories. I'm...

After reading this forum i'm wondering a couple of things. At my 1st meeting with my CDC on Sunday, she weighed me, gave me my sachets, arranged my first WI and that was pretty much that. She did say she would measure me the week after because she'd forgotten her tape. Did she miss...

I've been told no because of the natural sugar content you get in fruit which is passed through into the tea. Anything off a leaf is fine eg green tea, peppermint tea but anything from fruit/flower is a no go. Shame I love fruit teas as well!

Sorry hun, wine & lager are the worst ones! I can only think maybe have white wine with soda in it to water it down but that kinda defeats the object doesn't it? Do you not like any spirits? I'm not keen but can drink say bacardi with diet lemo x

I know what you mean about the rotten mood. I'm the same with no food and I looooove fish n chips :( Just keep thinking of that holiday you got booked and how good you'll feel in a swimsuit if you give them a miss, or how disappointed you will feel if you have them. It's not worth it! Def go...

Morning all. I'm on day 5 now but feel like I should really be calling it day 1 again because I had yesterday off due to that horrible sickness bug :( Feel much better today though so had my porridge and i'm being positive about getting back on it. Good luck with the weigh in Lisa. Looks like...

21st June is my birthday! I want to lose 2 stone by then at the very least. Purple Hugs - 20lbs Berryred - 18lbs tillyfloss - 20lbs Lizzylocket - 28lbs Catssseyes - 20lbs Pineapplehugs - 30lb haggard_hannah - 28 lb Mia - 28lb Wabbitt - 25lb Curlywurly - 28 lbs **Sparkles** - 25lb...

Thanks everyone for your replies. Pretty sure now it's a bug as OH seems to have got it too. Felt truly awful so took a day off the diet. Not ideal but it's made me feel better and being functional enough to look after the baby is more important I think... Had some toast, and some chicken and...

Hi all. Sorry if TMI but i've been up pretty much ALL night with diarrhoea. It's been coming out of me like water. Took an immodium at 2am which eventually solved the problem but I feel really really sick as well. Is this a part of the CD? If so i'm not sure it's healthy to be following a diet...

Nachos/crisps with the veg sachet? How do you do that?!

I know what you mean about Easter - my family go Easter mad with hot cross buns, eggs and a big Easter sunday roast. Boo!

Another one in Leeds here!:talk017:

Thanks hun. Keep imagining the jeans I want in!! x

The 'last supper' of Morrisons pizza and a load of pasta salad, coleslaw, wine and Ben & Jerrys probably not doing me any favours then lol. :sign0007:

Thanks ladies. Do I feel sick because i'm hungry? Is this normal? I seriously feel like I could quite easily throw up :(

I'm on day 3 and I feel terrible :( I'm starving and I feel really sick!

Thanks. I never even thought until after I did it. I feel so rubbish I so don't want it to be a waste of time :)

Hi Anna. I'm Katie, 25 with a nearly 10 month old and 5 stone to lose. It's my 2nd day and like you i'm not too confident. I've found coming on here has helped though everyone's really supportive :)

I'm nearing the end of day 2 and i'm reeeally hungry. Just had a thought though - both tonight and last night I had a taste of my daughters tea! I'm talking like half a teaspoon of mushed up food (she's 9 1/2 months old) and I always check it out of habit to test the temp. Have my first 2 days...

That's brilliant. I don't fancy a single one of the lads in my work but to hear them say that would be a real boost! x

Ooh time's dragging here... i'm thinking about my next shake but I only had the first one at 9am so want to hold off for a bit yet. I'm struggling taking the water as well, I'm notoriously bad for drinking too little as it is. I'm only on my first 500ml bottle and feel like i'm drowning lol.

Thanks! Have resisted the bacon butty, but I may have to hit the lad who keeps waving chocolate at me saying mmm. :asskick:

Thanks Lisa. Thinking of the outfit is a good idea I have the perfect one in mind :)

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie on the forum and this is my first ever day on the CD. Just had my first shake. Feel all nervous for some reason i'm scared that I won't be able to hack it but i'm so sick and tired of being big that I just have to do something about it! Hoping this hour by hour thread...

Thanks I will speak to the counsellor when she comes and see what she says. 1 stone and 9 pounds in 6 weeks sounds fantastic, well done! I hope I can do something similar! x

Ah well was worth a try! Any idea on herbal/fruit teas instead of normal tea? If not I can see me getting very bored or water very quickly! Thanks x

Hi all, after trying to diet the 'traditional' way after having a baby last June (and getting nowhere lol) I've decided to have a go on the CD. Got my first appt with my counsellor today. I wondered - can you drink diet drinks on it like diet coke? The counsellor said no but I can't drink...
