Still chugging on with the diet. Doing ok despite working with food. Looking forward to two days off, not used to being on my feet all day! Hope everyone else is doing well. Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Fantastic loss. Just shows how good this diet is and so worth sticking with it. Good luck on your second week :0) Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

The weekend has been good, is definitely harder but am ok. Children off school now, and Easter looming, need to focus and stay on track. Have decided I don't like the shakes much, they just don't taste of anything :0(( Soups are good as are the bars, just got to keep trying with the shakes in...

My night went very well thanks Marge. The subject of diet never came up. I thought she might get suspicious when I refused all alcohol, very unlike me. I wondered because of the affects of alcohol to health being very much in the news yesterday was why she thought I wasn't drinking. Shan't see...

Oh yes tetras are great, miss them and the choice of flavours with cd, but Exante is easier without the counsellor, and cheaper, always a bonus :0)) Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Thanks for your replies guys. Had a job interview this morning. As soon as it was over I had an almost uncontrollable urge for something sweet to eat and had to walk past a few carby outlets, if you know what I mean but resisted...go me! Got back, had a strawberry shake made with 200mls water...

Can I just say how fab it isto have the minimins app on my phone. Whenever I feel bored or in need of inspiration I just press a button, marvellous, and I'm only on day 2!! Speaking of which has gone really well, especially as I had to stay in all day waiting for an electrician who didn't turn...

Took me a while to work it out but now sorted, thank you Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

I use Spatone it is 100 per cent natural. Is better taken with a little orange juice as vitamin C helps to absorb the iron, not so good for the diet though. Iron tablets make me feel really ill. Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Oh dear what am I like, confused already. Thank you I will sort it out :/ Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Hello everyone, I started the diet yesterday. Day one went well but I have a long way to go, 4 stone to lose. My daughter is doing this diet with me. We are hoping to encourage each other, and along with reading all your inspirational posts we will make it to the end of our journey. Can anyone...

Thanks Starlight, understand now.

Apologies if I did something wrong, am guessing it was the mention of food other than the diet? Only been here a short while, not sure of my way round this bit of the site. Use my mobile most of the time and the app isn't as big as going on the main site. Took me ages to find this thread...

I like the idea of the taste being like a McDonalds shake. Love vanilla flavour I used to add coffee to it, yum. I agree with others that CD is very very sweet, I think I will like these shakes a lot more. Need to get started now, have to wait until next pay day as I want to get the mixed packs...

My favourite on CD was chocolate, I cant wait to join you all on this diet :0)) I will get some splenda in case I need it, thanks for letting me know.

Thank you for the info, x

Thanks very much Starlight, will definitely give it a go. Just need to decide on a start date :0))

After reading some of the threads it seems peeps are sweetening the shakes themselves. Are the shakes bland without sweetening. Really want to do this but wonder how different the shakes are to CD? Would be grateful for anyones opinion who is on this diet, please,

Hi all I have previously lost a lot of weight on CD. Crazily put it all back on, long story. Anyway my daughter gets married in September so long enough time to lose 4st. Don't want to be the fat one in the photos. I like the idea of this vlcd because no counsellor etc, but the big one no one...

Hi All... fantastic loss YM you must be feeling great. These weight losses are such inspiration:) Don't worry about your blip dipzeeblonde we all get them:sigh: Tomorrow is another day. It's so difficult when you have to prepare food for the family. I'm almost at the stage of giving in to...

Team name? Are we officially W8 Warrior Princesses? I would like to add it to my signature.

Well done Lena on getting in to ketosis hope it won't be long for me. If I can keep me mitts of the food. Tummy is rumbling today. It just doesn't pay to eat anything. I always do everything the hard way :rolleyes: Anyway onwards and downwards with the weight. Made me smile about the peppers :eek:

Simply Lucy WOW... fabulous, Simply Lucy you must be soooo chuffed, well done that is a great loss. You have inspired me to really stick to SS. Relax now and have a great day :D

Aha found you all. Please count me in I'd like to lose 30lbs by then. Start date: 19th Jan 2009 Diana - 14st 4lbs Weigh in day, Monday.

I'd love to join this challenge too, please. Has a date been decided?

Morning all... Weather not too bad in Lincoln this morning looks like we might be in for a dry day which is good as I am out and about today. Off to toddlers soon carefully avoiding the choccie biscuits served with the coffee. Must admit I am guilty of weighing myself every day, it keeps me...

Hi Maybe Baby the film was very good thanks, and Will Smith is soooo gorgeous. Yep putting todays failure behind me and moving on. Hope you get your lap top back I'd feel lost without mine. Already feeling guilty about Saturday's planned meal but 'he' is rather nice. Can't remember what I...

Yummy Mummy and Simply Lucy Meant to say a special good luck to Yummy Mummy and Simply Lucy for your weigh in tomorrow, hope you both get good losses :)

I'm happy to go with any name that's chosen. I thought they were all very good. Went to the pics tonight to see seven pounds was very good film, but I had a diet coke and some salt popcorn. Am really mad with myself but just have to put it behind me and tomorrow is another day. Everyone...

Oops... apologies, just read back over this thread and have seen we are all on CD and I think most are SSing. I feel a bit rude as I haven't introduced myself to the group yet. I'm Diana a lone parent, 47, so the OAP of the team :(, also a Registered Childminder, I have 6 children. The three...

Hi fellow team members :wave_cry:, so pleased to be part of this, thank you. Day 2 for me of SS (anyone else on Cd ss), going well so far, feeling really focused, got horrible headache so hoping ketosis is not far away. Being part of this team is really going to help me stick with it. Hope...

Hi is there one space left? If there is I would love to join. Started CD ss today so determined to do this but really need some support. Am keeping my fingers crossed, please let me know, thanks.

Well done Sinead you are inspiring me to restart. I so want to get rid of this weight I have put back on. I just can't find my will power. Wish we could bottle it. lol

So glad I've seen this. Believe me these are brilliant Count me in if I can get to the location. Living in the back of beyond it's not always easy, lol.

I wish you all the luck in the world with this because I am just like you. I lost over 5 stone in 2006. Whilst on sole source I could not believe people would regain the weight. I just couldn't understand how they could possibly let it happen. Yet it happened to me, now I feel like another...

Firstly would like to apologise for my self indulgent email last night talk about wallow :o So have started today, had my first shake and feeling positive. You guys are great, thanks for the support it means so much. Here's to a successful dieting day for all of us whatever plan you are doing.

Hi please can I join you? I know I will find this hard, having convinced myself that I can't do this again and that 2006 was my year and I blew it... But I can't bear to be like this any longer, I feel so fat and lethargic I have no energy and don't believe I have to be like this for the rest of...

I would love to join you all but is too close to my restart and my family party. Am detrmined not to b the fat one on the photos! Hope there will be another meet later in the year? Have a fab time all of you.

I love redbush tea drink loads of it. I have it black as I hate milk. Wish I could give up my sweetner in it. Used to be an ardent coffee drinker until I discovered the wonderful redbush. Don't like ordanairy tea though.

13lb in a week...fantastic, well done. I am on day 2 of another restart, determined to keep going this time. Your post is very inspirational for me, thanks.

Well done Sarah, fantastic loss and such an inspirational post. I am on day 2 of a restart and determined to keep going. Good luck for week 2.

Hi Taz no I haven't but am going to look out for them. May have a browse on Amazon will help keep my mind off food.

Day 1 for me, going okay so far need to drink more water though. My mind keeps thinking about food then I realise I can't have any. No sorry I should say. I have chosen not to have any...more water, more water...:sigh:

I love Harlen Coben too. Have just read, 'Tell No One'. It was really good I read it in a day. Like you said, I couldn't put it down either. Going to start 'The Woods' next.

Sorry Bea, know you're right. No point in feeling sorry for myself. Am going to surround myself with positive vibes from now on. :)

I'm near enough a beach ball or space hopper. Am apple shaped. Knew that already...big boobs and non existent waist. Feel depressed now. I sure have a long way to go. To think I have done this to myself ...lost the weight and put it back on again I mean. Still have to be positive. New start...

Hi All Am starting another restart tomorrow. Lost 4 stone on CD two years ago, and through my own stupidity have put it all back on. Wishing all the restarters good luck.

HI All I am restarting tomorrow. I CAN I CAN DO THIS :)

Hi all Lighter Lifer's I'm going to a LL information evening tonight. Hoping this is for me, and that the meetings are not going to be too far from me as I don't drive. Did CD about 18mths ago, lost 5st and have put most of the weight back on. Why I don't know except to say I have a terrible...

Hi Summerskye would be interested to know what you thought of 'The God Delusion'?

I've just finished 'The State of the Union' by Douglas Kennedy love his books. I'm now reading 'Going Back' by Penelope Lively and 'The Last Resort' by Alison Lurie. Life would be so boring without books

Hi book lovers I've just read today 'The Story of You' by Julie Myerson, so sad, couldn't put it down though...Can't remember the last time I read a book in a day. Now starting 'A Spot of Bother' by Mark Haddon.

Just have to say, this is fantastic and just what I need. Can't face SS at the moment so going to give JUDD a go. Thanks Karion for this. I am one very happy inspired judderer. :D

OMG... Bulgaria.. What's that all about...pmsl. How I wish Casualty was on...ah well.

I don't often post but I have just read this thread all the way through with baited breath. Just wanted to say what a wonderful person you are Sonkie. How you've coped with all this is amazing. Can I add my best wishes to you and Wayne and hope that his recovery goes well.

Have to confess I had a major blip and went from 13.8 to 13.13 :( Now on day 3 and 13.7. I love this diet. Really managing to stay focused this time. Went round Tesco's in a daze tonight trying not to smell the food. Has anyone else noticed that... How not eating makes food smell so much...

Hi I'm in Lincoln, so not too far away. Is the meet still going ahead? Would love to come if it is. :)

Hi everyone looking forward to this challenge. :) Thought I should be brave and post my starting weight which is 13st 8lbs. I lost 5 stone on CD and have stupidly put 2 and a bit stone back on since last June.:sigh: Determined to lose it for good this time. Good luck for this challenge peeps.

Thanks mini. Feeling very positive about this.

I don't post much on here but I'd love to join in with this please. I'm going on holiday on 14th April. To lose 2 stone before I go would be great.

Hi Roch Hope you're doing okay. I had a fantastic hen night thanks. We travelled to Nottingham in a limo and fire engine. Drank far too much. Is the wedding tomorrow, so looking forward to that. SSing not going too well, am debating still about going to WW. Kids back at school next week so I'm...

I totally agree with the above. What scares me is not recognising so well when I am really down. The days when I just go back to bed and feel I am a terrible failure at just about everything in my life. As I come out of it, can be a few days or weeks. I think OMG I was feeling so bad...

Roch Roch You have done so well already. We all get knocked done the hardest thing is getting back up and to keep on fighting. I'm starting ss again on Monday after my mad Hen weekend. I bought a card today to stick on my kitchen cupboard it says: What lies behind us and What lies before us...

I've just read through Jacob's story with baited breath. So happy he is making such a fantastic recovery. Love all the animal pics. We are going to get two rabbits this morning and we are on a waiting list at our local Cat Care for a kitten. Just got to think of some names now. Can't wait :D

Me. :D Day one today. Got on the scales this morning..what a shock :eek: knew I had put weight back because my clothes are tight, but have been in denial. Re-starts are so hard, but I can't go on piling the weight back on. What an idiot I've been :( Good luck everyone.

I can so relate to this I'm a Chidminder and the holidays are a nightmare if you are SSing. I'm starting again today. I have to I've put back on so much weight because of all my restarts. I've used every excuse under the sun for giving up. Getting back on the wagon is so hard. Plucked up the...

Ooops the book I have is State of the Union by Douglas Kennedy I've read A Special Relationship. Just proving I can't remember what I've read. lol. :rolleyes:

Not just me then :rolleyes:

I love Douglas kennedy. That book is on my shelf waiting to be read. I have just read the Rightous Men which led me on to The Straw Men by Michael Marshall a bit gruesome but good. I'm now reading Panic by Jeff Abbott. Don't usually read these type of books but sometimes good to try something...

Born on Blue day Looks a facinating book, is on my to read list. Did you see him on Richard and Judy. He was also on Radio 4 too. Interesting chap.
