    hi Claire, i've recently done the same, coming from cd to atkins, and started in on the induction phase, as i figured that would be the best place to start.

    thanks everyone, like you say, a loss is a loss, no matter how large or small, and the beauty of this diet is that you can tweak it if need be, ie smaller portions, if you feel it needs it, whereas on a shake only diet, you're pretty much stuck with what you've got. i don't regret moving over...

I'm ok mate, got my first weigh in at 7.45 pm tonight and i am looking forward to it, as i have stuck to the SS+ and not deviated at all. It's got easier once the first three days were out of the way, and i'm now on day 8, so i...

    Can too much water work against you?

    thank you, lily, that has put my mind at rest a fair bit, and does make a lot of sense. The trouble is over analysing sometimes, because you want to stick to it as closely as possible, but i think my body would be revolting (no smartass remarks, please, lol!) if i over did it

    Can too much water work against you?

    thanks for that, i will do as suggested, and hopefully it will be fine. Typically, as soon as id posted the question, i saw another thread querying the same sort of thing (isnt it always the way lol!)

    Can too much water work against you?

    after talking on here to a couple of people over the last couple of days, and discussing water intake, i wondered if there was any way that too much water could have a detrimental effect - ie, where it may be retained by the body in any way, and impacting on weight loss? I'm on the SS+, and at...

    Coke Zero Allowed On Sole Source?? Help!

    purplepixie, i'd have to agree with that, if you rule it out totally, it stops becoming the distraction it could be if you were having one a week

    Coke Zero Allowed On Sole Source?? Help!

    i'm not feeling any ill effects on that much water, and i am quite a large frame anyway, so i think it may be right that it could all depend on body size. i try and drink 2 litres every 4 1/2 hours or so, as if i drank too much too quickly, i think it might be a bit dodgy! it did make me wonder...

    major headache today

    if it's any help, i always find that coming off caffeine, and obviously cutting right back on carbs gives me much the same syptoms within the first 2-3 days. i try and combat it by drinking at least 6 litres of water a day, so i know its not a dehydration issue with the headaches, at least. it...

    Day 4 and the K fairy has arrived

    it does make a difference when your head is in the right place, as everything else follows from that, at least that's what ive found for me, and once i got past day 3, no cravings for junk, coke, or anything else that could have undermined me. You're doing great, by the sound of it, i wish you...

    Coke Zero Allowed On Sole Source?? Help!

    i can sympathise, being the coke addict that i am, but i've not given into the cravings for some. I'm on day 6 of the SS+, and admittedly, day 3 was a real cravings day, presumably because my store of carbs was used up totally, and my body was not happy finding that out lol, but since then, i've...

    Tel, that's great mate. im due my first weigh in on monday night, and im looking forward to it, i'd be made up losing 7lbs, but i know what you're saying - you have your own target in mind, and maybe feel a bit deflated when it doesn't match, but sounds like you're doing fine. good luck going...

    hi Jim, it was to do with a woman - isn't it always lol. was in Wigan for 2 yrs when i first moved up, then across to Stockport for 5 yrs when i met my wife, and as i work in Warrington, i got sick of the 80 mile a day round trip i was doing, so we moved over here. mind you, i still get down...

    i normally have 2 or 3 books on the go at any one time - be lost without them! at the min, i'm reading a series of 11 books by Jim Butcher, titled the dresden files - about a wizard in chicago (harry dresden) who helps out the special investigations unit of the chicago p.d. if you love your...

    Any Lee Childs fans out there?

    Jack Reacher, he's such a great character, takes no messing, and you always know he's gonna get the girl lol! Got 'Killing floor' free with some magazine a few yrs back, and was hooked. Have read them all since then, and would say 'tripwire' is possibly my favourite, altho, none of them are...

    Stephe King Fans?

    been reading him for the best part of 25 yrs, and re-reading when i was between new books! still rate the dark tower as an amazing series, just a shame that a lot of the novels that get made into movies don't do justice to the books themselves, in my opinion.

    hey dita, thanks for stopping by, last time i did the CD was a few years ago, but i do remember it working for me while i was on it - i think i did about 6 months on and off. I do find it hard the first couple of days, to be honest, even having cut down on the carbs beforehand, as the cravings...
