Anyone still doing this... No one updated since last year. can't find any other threads. started tonight on XLS looking for support as it seems negative so far. I have a ton to lose!!

Hi. I am starting CD today. I did it back in 2009 and lost 4s. Now I am back wanting to loose the same by mid November! I am on 810kcal as I have a high BMI. Will I make it? I have 12s to loose all in all but I have smaller goals....

Thanks Shanny & Emma its posts like this that make this diet so much easier! and thanks Emma for remembering me - its nice to see old faces on here!!

Hello to anyone that remembers me! I started CD back in May last year lost 4s and through to end October (with various holidays and occasions taken into account) Now I have had two months out due to trip to NY, Exams and of course Xmas!! With a gain of a stone (this was me really stuffing my...

giving up my friday/saturday night drink wasn't a problem to start with as i was so motivated, through the summer and through family ups and downs I have been a saint it was just this saturday night I REALLY craved it!! It would have meant opening a bottle and as long as one isnt open I wont do...

I am a massive boyzone fan - so very sad :(

ohh now I would like that!!

EVERY year I settle down on a Saturday night with a glass of wine and the X factor live shows.... ( I am a stickler for tradition!) This year i have the X factor and a wine glass with sparkling water!!! Next year I might treat myself ;)

my weight can gain by 4-5lb each month with retaining water... I don't let it worry me... it soon drops back off... dont be disheartened :)

I highly recommened Lyons Fresh Ground Coffee in one-cup bags - (you use them like tea bags) its like perculated coffee - lovely and so much nicer than instant!! You can get them in Tesco in a green box

I am quietly observing how much of my money you are spending! as always!! s'pect?! are you 12?

I heard that CD is rebranding in November - I was wondering with this if they are going to release any new flavours?

I knew you would come back with some comment first - smart @rsed sister!!

Since I started this diet I have hated all food shops but i popped in earlier to get some household bits and found myself in the clothing section... (its been my lifeline in cheap clothes whilst coming down sizes) As its getting colder and I am off to NY in 2 months - i started trying on...

Me and my CDC have a good relationship - i place my order on the monday/tuesday ready for WI on Fridays, she bags up the orders she has so when you get there its: hop on scales, chat, pick up your bag and you gone - I am usually there 10-15 minutes and i don't feel rushed - she is just...

I had the same at nando's last night plain chicken & salad and I am still in ketosis this morning and happy! Well done on your loss that brilliant!! just off to make my moose before xfactor!!

I will be off plan for Xmas and New Year - I cant stop living and its my favourite time of year I wont be going mad but not denying myself a mince pie - i make the best ones!! Come January I will be back 100% I have a good 2 1/2 stone to go before then though!!

if i can unofficially have it instead of a sachet (I have 4 coz I am long!) every so often when I need something savoury ( I hate the soups) then I will be so happy!!

is it legal on CD? I was told along time ago that a cup of this once a day was ok... its vegan and reduced salt...

one of my cats once got stuck in the greenhouse - it wasn't summer luckily but my dad had gone down their to clear it out, in the summer it was my cats favourite sun trap so she must have made herself cozy whilst he was cleaning! she was in their 3 days before my dad, sat on the sofa on...

ok so it might just be that I am over tired as I am still stupidly jet lagged but ready a few pages though and noticed the article posted about the deaths on LL... Now I did my research on this diet and nothing said anything about that! I know I sound stupid i have been on the d@mn diet...

now don't i wish i didn't open this topic... trying to get back on the straight and narrow after a holiday eating junk in san fran and all i am craving is fruit!!! strawberries, apples, nectarines.. anything... :(

Probation - what does this mean - will she sack you if you fail??

i got mine from my CDC 4.75 for 100...

Deep breath! My restart starts today but I am waiting until I am meant to be up in 5 hours to see the damage my holiday has caused!! Depending on the damage I might adjust my target for another half stone or maybe more as hopefully the restart will boost me up a bit! I will be SS for the first...

I am doing rubbish and as I am off on holiday tomorrow I will put in my September request now Keira82 - 14lb I am hoping that this break and the restart on my return on 6th will give me a big boost!

Kenneth Cole is also brilliant for clothes - have the most gorgeous winter coat from him that now drowns me... :(

O.M.G I LOVE COACH!!! I was in Florida last month and had kittens in heir outlet store - my poor credit card... Macy's is always good for designer bargains too... calvin klein are good for 'pretty' a real shock for me as i had it pinned just for jeans before hand... Also, love Kenneth Cole...

I have STS - not sure I am going to be productive this week as I have all symptoms that I am due on and I am a bugger for water retention so I am not going to be an accurate measure on this experiment.... but still will keep up with the water intake...

How bad am I that I have just realised that I am going to San Fran next saturday!!! I thought it was the week after - so I can only do this for a week! Thats a shame...

her toddler picked them up and threw them! don't know how he is tiny! Thanks girls!

This is a cool thread... I call him Penguin, Oi, half-a-job-eason (as he never finished anything he starts...) he calls me; P, winger, pretty and he calls the hamster Little-P (sad I know)

ok so day 2 of the experiement and I have not weighed in as I stayed at my dads last night which is 100 miles away from my scales at home but i did get through my 4L of water - I have my WI at lunch today so we will see... Drank 1.5L already - but I have been up sinec 5am!

I'm in too please.....

well done contrary - bad week but good loss - hope this week is good for you x

let see if we can stay here... i like it! Well done sunflowers....

then there was 3......... shall we continue the 3 of us or move to the big forum monthly challenge :character00201: - I have always been a bit scared and have stuck to the 100% forum for 4 months - i ventured across last night and apart from the weird word games it ok.... :hide:

Thanks - will be ebaying tonight now... thought about just charity shopping it, but I am my own charity at the moment what with the cost of this diet, smaller clothes and the fact I am going away as well in a few weeks!!

breakfast

For me it was the realisation that my winter coat will now be too big - in the Feb snow the top 2 buttons where somewhat tense and on Friday night something clicked and i went to try it on - now the coat looks awful and hangs off me... 20 sweaty minutes later of me swanning round with it on gave...

I went to Florida for 10 days and have been back for 3 weeks and I gained 8lb - this came off within 5 days and by the time I went to my CDC i had lost a further 3lb. I didn't let it upset me - I knew I would gain - I chose SO VERY badly!! I struggled to get back on the wagon - I found finding...

I always thought it was SS or SS+ for a MAX of 12 weeks then 810 onwards then nearer goal you start moving up plans... or is it 12 weeks on SS the 1 week at 810 and back to SS?? I am on 810 now... I put myself there!

Thank you! didnt think i was going to make it!! well done you too! x

I am on my 14th week and I am still on SS+ - it never occurred to me to question it - surely I should be moving to 810 now? Any advice?

Hi, Just wondering if there is certain requirements for becoming a CDC - like a certain amount from target, been on CD for a certain time? Its something I would like to do soon

I have been on SS+ for 8 weeks now and will be on WI No. 9 tomorrow.. The thing is that I go away in 8 days to the states (the food!!!!) so my CDC suggested I move to 1200kcals for my holiday with a week at 810 before hand (so that will start this Friday)... Now I think i should be excited...

Mine wouldn't sign either - he said I should eat more fruit & veg and do more exercise - handed me some leaflets and I was on my way! My BMI was 45 and I had already started SS (for 1 week) SS+ (there onwards) when I went to him at about week 3 (ish). I Didn't know I couldn't start without...

We can carry this one on and change the topic and our tickers etc... I am holidaying in Florida mid July but still want to loose 10lb Keira82 - 10lb new targets attach!

are we going to carry this on girls to next month - we have quite a successful group here....

1lb to be lost by Tuesday!! I should hopefully manage that - just sad that it was only 1lb this week - went to a wedding last weekend - i drank 2l of sparkling water - as well as the usual 2 1/2!! - the fat should have melted away!! WELL DONE TP ALL THAT HAVE FINISHED - ROLE ON THE JULY...

Chocolate, Cranberry and occasionally peanut... Please be warey of Toffee & Caramel unless you have a very sweet tooth!!!

Hi november_girl don't feel embarrassed about asking - i think the most on this forum will agree that anusol is the best. Search for a thread 'constipation' it was huge topic about 2 weeks ago and there is alot of advise from immediate help to going forward and avoiding it! Hope all is well...

We have just a week left on our June Challenge... and this worked for me... Has anyone set up a July Challenge yet?

oh and well done!!!!!

I would say dont go weighing yourself at boots - stick to the same scales week after week - my councillor refuses to move her scales and they are in the exact same position every week - this is so the reading can not be faulted!!

9lb for me this week!! Angela83-10 lbs Asa - 12lbs - 8 lbs lost - 4 lbs to go! Bella16 - 18lbs Bess - 14lbs Broxi - 12lbs - 4lbs lost - 8lbs to go Charlie's_Angel - 14lbs Claira07 - 14lbs Contrarytintagel - 12lbs - 9lb lost - 3lbs to go! Curvalicious - 16lbs Dappymare - 16lbs Emma237 - 12lbs...

Thank you ladies - if only I had read this link last night! about 3:30pm I came home from work and needed the loo I finally went at 11:30pm!!! I was in so much pain - i went to the theatre last night with my OH and his parents - the interval was very embarrassing as they had to wait for...

well a little joy for me - I havent had a totm for a year (May08) and it stated today WHOOP!! Makes me feel like a lady again!

That comment has just made my day thanks!

Just been to the doctors as I have strained my back... He told me that this wouldn't have happened if i had been exercising and dieting! I informed him I have been on CD for 6 weeks and lost nearly 2 stone. He was aware of the diet but still pushed going to a gym and doing the recommended...

hello Skinnywannabi come join us!! I am on SS+ - I needed that teeny bit of chicken to look forward too at the end of a day... I have so much to loose that the extra calories are not really affecting me...

ahh lovely Drayton... did go to Chenderit... bit of the same really - not brilliant grades but don't think I have done too bad! so why you up so late?

ahh how lovely! If you lived in Cropedy - does that mean you went to Chenderit?

I do know of a fostering company in the town - my old school friend used to be the office manager there, not sure if she still is... I don't have kids - would love a bunch of them though - do you have any?

I would love to but my other half is a city boy thru and thru and being that far away from London would probably hurt him! I would love to be back there and i WILL move closer, maybe Thame area...

I work in accounts - dull i know, but it keeps the brain in tact! Ahh fostering sounds like a great job!!

I am actually 100 miles, currently live in Crawley but I am from Banbury and all my family live there - I am there every few weeks!

what do you do for a living? you lived in Banbury long?

just seen you are a banbarian on the other thread!

I am from Middleton Cheney - so Banbury really - where you from?

me!!

so we are all Oxford/ Banbury folk?

M40 J10 services is much nicer than the M1 I believe (plus its so much closer for me!)

plus most beaches are good - not sure on Torquay - I was drunk when I was there last!!

Its about a half hour drive but Tones is very pretty, has a great market and is quirky... there was a lovely cafe at the top of the high street - I say top as the hill is amazing - does the best milkshakes - not that you would be allowed one!! But still very pretty and oldy worldy - if only to...

and want to talk to a sicky who cant sleep!? if your all asleep and I am chatting to myself then night night xx

I technically live in West sussex at the moemnt but all my family and friends are in Oxfordhire/Northamptonshire Border too... Thats where I grew up! I would like to come too!

That why I only fly Prem Econ or Upper.... la de da!!! hehe... OH works for Virgin! with added benefit of bigger belts!

I like the idea of a private group too... Don't know how to set up that up though or how i would know if i had been invited!! but please invite me!!

I hadn't voiced it either! and Thank you - so have you!

to have a baby!

I went though a stage of dreaming about what I did before I went to sleep - it took me nearly a month to realise and stop play tetris before I went to sleep!! They where some messed up dreams!! Wouldn't mind dreaming about you lot though you're all lovely - cue- awwww.......

ohh thanks broxi!

ahh well done you ahve done brilliantly - his diet is great as its so fast - its really hard to loose motivation!

what is this about groups?

I am starting to obsess about my skin... I have bio oil but i use creams all the time - I am addicted to them!! Do you have any recommendations?

Thats a great dream!! I am obsessed with this forum too - even if i don't post much... I am always reading and learning from you all!

ok, now you ahve me worrying - what happens if you drink alcohol on CD (not that I have) ??

I am on SS+ and would like to spice up some chicken... a bit of dried chilli just seems a bit too good to be true!!

I have 10 stone to loose... been on it 3 weeks, weigh in's on fridays - had a bad week - meals out with work and I am feeling ill as it is - struggling to get all the shake down - just hoping and praying for -3lb this week anything more will be a bonus!! Good luck!!

so 2.5-4l per day girls... Thanks for doing research but does it aid weight loss then or is it just good for you?

I have another 9 to loose and I don't feel it yet - think it will take me to go down a dress size before I start to feel it hopefully that will be after the next stone!

My CDC told me that lots of water helps after a blip and gets you back into ketosis faster (not that I blipped but was discussing on the 'just in case') not sure if its speeds up weight loss but it does help the skin catch up.

OH MY GOD!!!!! Redbush is ok???? are you sure- I am crazy about the stuff and though it wasn't allowed - been living off black coffee and peppermint tea!!!!!! Woo!! Thank you!

I thought that - I am on SS+ and the amount of veg v the amount of chicken (and even more fish) on you plate is crazy!! Not that i am complaining - i love having a small meal!

I did ss fr my first week and lost 9lb... I moved to SS+ for the 2nd week and lost 5lb - now that I was very happy with and i get a small meal (so far in 3 days another 2lb has come off) I don't see that as slowing down on weight loss... Its what you feel comfortable with and what fits in with...

ohh I like both of them!!

when you're all skinny?

had my 2nd weigh in this afternoon -5lb so thats exactly 1s in 2 weeks - I am over the moon and is just the motivation I needed for the weekend!! any one else had any today?

I'm on day 18 too and have my 2nd weigh in tomorrow had my first blip this evening and I am kicking myself - That is it no more 'blips' only the planned ones i.e Big Wedding next month and work dinner that I will have to figure out a way to get through and pray that my body stays in or gets back...

ahh thats a brilliant motivating story! well done!

When I was younger I used to eat when my parents went out but I would never finish anything thinking they wouldn't notice.... then when I moved out I used to finish work before my partner and come home and eat crisps, sandwiches, cheese and just about anything I fancied and hide the wrappers in...

I want to loose weight for the following reasons: I went to Alton Towers 5 years ago and it look 2 burly men to push me in... I then went on to loose 5 1/2 stone but its gone back on and now my bf wishes to go there and I am too scared! A temp at work had a gastric band fitted in Sept and...

I adore the choc mint and normal choc, banana and butterscotch that tastes like the angel delight whip you had as kids. I'm no a fan of the apple and cin porridge but maybe i am making it wrong... and the strawberry is far too sweet for me I prefer to make my own as the i get more rather...

Thank you, I did - I am now on SS+ and absolutely loving it! Just hopes it works out at next weeks weigh in!

I fill from the filtered water jug into a 2L bottle every night for the next day at work and I have to finish that plus 1pt glass with dinner and I am done easy! anything extra is a bonus!!

I bought a packet of cod from the supermarket and where usually i would have cooked it up with veg or chips and god knows what else and ate the lot now i walked to the checkout thinking this is more than enough for 4 meals!!! this link just reminded me of myself thinking of that earlier today!!

I believe that is the reason too, you are allowed tuna drained from water... I love cod and tuna - I think SS+ is going to be better for me... I can live with and extra 61 calories a day as I am in it for the long haul...

I will wait until tomorrow then... I want to move over to the SS+ I am on 4 a day but really struggling to get them all in!!! Ideally I would want 2 and a meal on the SS+ standards... but the SS+ states 3 and a meal!! Thank you for screaming at me!

I have been on SS since saturday but REALLY need to eat something.. I have purchased some cod that I was going to cook in foil in the oven with herbs and some courgette... All per SS+ Is it ok to go ahead with this... I really need to move over to this... my weigh in is tomorrow - will...

Thanks everyone - I have another week on the shakes then i will move over to atkins for one I can't afford the cost every week!! So now I am looking forward to real food - before I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

only 10s to go!!! Hi, I am newbie on day 3 and feel like I am slowly dying.... need support as I have a massive 1o stone too loose!!! snap me up please!!
