thanks for replying everyone. It was just the plain porridge, my cdc told me it was really sweet so thats why I ordered it. I certainly didn't think so....... You' ve all made me determined to get through day one and then hopefully that will continue to week 1. x

Hi All Today is my day one on the DD doing SS. I've just made up my porridge and it was disgusting. I so need to do this diet but I keep find myself thinking up reasons not to do it. Why am I being so negative about this? Also I've just started a new job last week and it was awful. I no...

Hi can you tell me if CS is just like LL and CD. Do you go into ketosis on it?? Thanks Andrea

thanks for all the replies. I'm going to be working 12 hour shifts either days or nights. Its all in a hospital environment so was worried about what the nurses would say etc. At least I know its possible to do though. Thanks again. Andrea

Hi All, I'm due to start a new job next week and want to start CD as well. I'm worried though cos my new job involves day shifts and night shifts - this is completely new to me and I was wondering how to do the diet whilst working the shifts. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about...

thanks very much for all the replies. I think I'll opt for the CD - Steve you have done an excellent job convincing me!! As I said in the first post I am going to start in January - probably be the 2nd week as I am on induction for my new job the first week and feel it would be just a...

Hi I am planning on starting either CD or LL in the New Year. I know that the diets are really effective in getting quick results however what I was wondering is how I prevent the weight going back on as soon as I stop taking the shakes etc. I am also going to be starting a new job working...

Hi and thanks for getting back to me. I too have been on every diet under the sun and have been dieting on and off now for about 21 years since I was 14!! I've tried WW, SW, SS, cambridge and lighterlife. Don't get me wrong they all worked but as soon as I lost the weight I went back to...

I've been putting this off for ages now but I think the time has come that I must do something about my weight. My probs are: 1, what slimming club to go to and 2, do I join now or after christmas?? I've done SS before and got to about 2lbs of target but low and behold I've put it all back on...

Well as you can gather from the title today is my day one. I've been really good, had a banana shake for breakfast and chocolate one for lunch. Had a few nuts as the allowable snacks in between but I do have to say I am absolutely starving. Is this right??? I've drank more than my 2 litres...

hi i am thinking about starting atkins. I've ordered my books so going to read those first before getting started. What do you have for your meals to stop you getting bored?? I've never tried atkins before but seem to have been on every other one!! HA HA. Good luck in your weight loss...

thanks everyone for your support and encouragement. I've started writing things down in a notepad so when I'm feeling strong or weak I can look at the reasons for keeping me going. Once I get back into ketosis I should do better but its getting there. When I started the last time it took me...

My OH and I started CD together however he lost his weight within weeks (more than 2 stone) so has now gradually been eating again. This is where I have fell off the wagon - I feel I've lost his support cos he can eat and I can't. I don't think I've stuck to a full day on SS since he starting...

Thanks for that. I'll not have any just keep hunting for the mouth strips.

Hi could anyone tell me if we are allowed tic tacs. I've checked that there is no citric acid in them but can we have them. Thanks for your help in advance Andrea

HI All just thought I'd let you know how my second weigh in went. Well I lost another 6 lbs bringing my total weight loss in 2 weeks to 1 stone. How unbelievable is that to lose a stone in 2 weeks. YIPEEEEE

well done stacey that is a great loss. I too lost 8lb in my 1st week. Think how long it would take you to lose that if you were doing any other diet. Keep up the good work. Andreax

what a brilliant start - it definitely gives you the boost to carry on. Well done you should be very proud of yourself Andrea

Hi every1 thanks very much for your support. Bindiboo - definitely, think we'll both need support over the coming weeks. How do you want to support each other? Andrea x

Hi all just thought I'd share my good news - just had my first weigh in and I'd lost 8.2lbs. WOOOOO:D Andrea

Hi Jojo I'm not going to lie and say the first week is easy, its not. But take one day at a time and it will get easier. I have only being doing SS for one week and have just had my first weigh in with a 8lb loss. How is that for motivation. Be positive and you will get there. Have a look...

HI all hopefully some1 can give me advice. I am on day 6 of SSing and am pretty sure I'm in ketosis. My husband is also doing it with me and he has lots of energy and isn't hungry. Me on the other hand is absolutely knackered, feel hungry and want to eat (but I know I'll hate myself). Is...

Hi Claire Just click on my ticker and then it takes you to a website where you put your own information in and then paste it all into your signature strip within your minimins account. Clear as mud I bet. Do you want to keep in touch via this site or through email? My email address is...

HI Clairebear Don't listen to other people just think about being a slim gorgeous bride on your wedding day. All eyes will be on you. I'm pretty sure you will have 2 stone off before August - they say you can lose 1 stone per month. Are you SS? I'm on day 5 on SS and so far haven't...

Thanks for that. Definitely have the horrible taste in my mouth. Think you could be right about the hunger just being habit. Good to know that I'm fat burning now though. can't wait until my clothes start feeling too big for me!! Andrea

Hi all I hope you can answer this for me. I'm on day 5 of SS - will I be in ketosis yet. I did the ketosis test and it was light pink but I still feel hungry and don't seem to have that sense of wellbeing that every1 talks about. My hubbie is also doing it but he isn't hungry at all. any...

Hiya. I'm on day 5 of CD doing SS and I'm not going to say it has been easy but if you take one day at a time then it does get easier. I really felt like eating on day 2 cos I felt so crap but here I am on day 5 and I'm feeling much better. Very positive in fact. it helps that my husband is...

I know exactly how you feel. I'm on the 2nd day and I feel absolutely crap!! Medical term. I've had a migraine all day, have taken loads of painkillers and drank plenty of water but its not shifting. I just want to go to bed and hopefully wake up in the morning feeling better but I can't cos...

well I'm on day 2 and I'm so hungry. Have been drinking plenty of water but still feel lousy and have a really sore head. Is this normal????

Well got weighed last night and it was just as I thought. 15st 9lb. That is the heaviest I've ever been but I suppose I should just look at it as being the last time I will be that weight. For some reason I didn't sleep that well last night - could I have been excited about starting on the...

thanks for the great support every1. I'll let you know how the weigh in goes tonight. If ever I'm stuck or feel like eating I'll just log on here...... i'm now feeling so positive - i'm going to be slim.:) :thankyou:

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and am starting the cambridge diet tomorrow. Going to the CDC tonight to collect the packs. Actually quite excited to be starting after looking at the inspiration photos. I've got about 6 stone to lose and I know that its going to be a long battle. My husband...
