    Back again! :-)

    Thanks for your notes of support. 15lbs in two weeks is great Markemkat!! And 10.6lb in one week is amazing Nellyphant!! I stepped on the scales this morning and seem to be down a whole 4lbs - in one day?! I am assuming this is bacuse I was still bloated from the day before when I weighed...

    Back again! :-)

    Hello, It has been a while. I lost some weight with Cambridge last year (almost 2 stone), but now just a few months later, I have put it all back on. :sigh: After a number of false starts this year, I decided to try again, today, on a Saturday (work days can be quite stressful and often lead...

    DON'T DO IT MIA!!!! Just look at all of those ticks - you are doing sooooo well! One small piece of toast will be gone in less than a minute and will soooooooooooo not be worth the guilt you will feel afterwards. Find something to do. Paint your nails, get a shower and moisturise, put a...

    Losing weight with CD has given me the confidence to.......

    Great thread! Mine is a little personal, but I guess we all experience similar things on here... Loosing weight has given me the confidence to get undressed in front of my boyf again and not to wince when he touches my 'spare tyre' or tummy - which are shrinking week by week. I had been...

    Mia's 100% SS Daily Diary

    Good luck Mia. 36 days seems like a reasonable time to stick to it 100%, your holiday will give you some real motivation. Just keep visualising yourself in your holiday clothes, getting dressed up in the evening and feeling so proud of yourself for putting in that extra effort the month...

    extra water will it affect wi 2moro?

    I wouldn't worry too much, but maybe stop drinking the water a couple of hours before you get weighed, just in case. Good luck for tomorrow! x

    Skin and Nails

    Skin is clear and spot free, nails are stong. My only complaint is that my skin is a little dry, not that this is a major problem, I've been using up all my Christmas present moisturisers!! :-) x

    CD -vs- Atkins

    I tried Atkins for a week. It gave me terrible headaches and I felt really sick! Will try to eat a lot less carbs at the end of this, but don't think I could ever do pure Atkins!

    Has anyone done SS on holiday Eeeeek!

    You sound so determined, I'm sure you'll get throught the two weeks. The bars and tetras will helpful, esp if you can freeze them and have them like ice cream with the family. I too had a break away in the UK and kept 100%. Keeping busy helps a lot! Good luck to you - you can do it! x

    Wow Lin, you have done fantastically well!! What keeps me going?? - I work towards short term goals - get to 12 stone, get to 11.5, get into the 10s, etc - Visualising myself in clothes that became too tight and fitting back into them! - Looking forward to upcoming events e.g. a wedding at...

    My new do!

    Very nice! A new hair cut really does make you feel so much better. I'm thinking of having mine chopped to a similar length too in a couple of weeks. Last time I went to the hairdressers I had to take a hooded top off before she put the gown on (so she could cut straight). I hated standing...

    What is your challenge this BH weekend?

    Hey Jen, My cdc has always told me that I HAVE to start introducing food at a BMI of 25. I am 25.something at the moment and she said she is happy for me to do one more week of SS. 3lbs to go then I can have milk!! Haha! Em x

    Restaurant dilema

    If it was me, I would go to a Thai restaurant and have some steamed fish with some nice Thai spices. No rice, but maybe a small salad. Not sure if you even like Thai food, but eating stong flovours, slowly with lots of water might just help? Best of luck x

    What is your challenge this BH weekend?

    Hi, A few threads on here have touched on BH weekends being that bit harder than normal weekends while doing CD. So, I thought I'd ask the question - what is your biggest challenge this weekend and how are you going to get round it? For me, aside from just having a bit more time to fill, I...

    Extra shake at TOTM

    Hi, I have to admit, I made the decision to have the extra portion, I had an extra tetra. And to be honest, I really don't regret it. I'd been out shopping all afternoon and had a night out (on tap water and ice) ahead of me, so rather than "giving in" I made the decision to give myself that...

    Are tetras allowed week 1

    Have you tried freezing them yet? Because they are milky, they go like ice cream once they've been defrosting for an hour or so. definietly recommend trying them this way! :-D x

    coffee?

    I asked my cdc about milk in coffee. She said as long as you only have a splast of milk, a few times a week it shouldn't make any difference. When you think about the variation in cals between bars and shakes i.e. 170-odd for a bar and 137 for a tetra, a splast of milk really isn't anything. I...

    Nightmare situation.

    Has he thought about having protein shakes to help him bulk up rather than fatty foods? You could support each other by having shakes together? They would surely help him gain heathy weight rather then just fat? Keep stong on your own journey, the first week is hard, but does get easier, I...

    4 weeks of 100% and now I've just cheated :(

    boardwitless is right, it could have been a lot worse if you'd just kept on going, having a bit of everything you have been missing over the last few weeks. So you had a little treat, you'll get back on it and I'm sure be more determined than ever. Keep going, you have come so far already!

    Think my bra has grown!!

    Mine have 'deflated' a little, but that is totally a good thing as all my sports bras were too small, putting me off exercise as I was putting on more and more weight!! My boyf just pulls a sad face when I tell him I'm getting back into my smaller bars!! Even tho smaller is still a DD!!

    Whats your favourite & worst pack .....?

    I didn't like the porridge, or the soups, part from Vegatable which was just about okay. I live off the shakes, blended with loads of ice, frozen tetras and bars for lunch at work. Fav shakes: Butterscotch, Cappachino and chocolate. I would really love them to come up with a veggie version of...

    Extra shake at TOTM

    Extra shake at TOTM

    Hi, I have just started my second TOTM since starting this diet (I had a two week 'gap' of sorts...). I am again feeling so tired and weak. Is there any harm in having an extra shake over the weakest days? I know it would be better than real food to continue the weightloss, but will it have...

    when will i stop feeling hungry

    I agree with the reply above. Try going without the bars for the next week if you can to really make sure you're in ketosis. And of course, drink lots of water. It does fill you up. Good luck x

    MY CD FINALLY ARRIVED!

    I was excited about starting this diet too - very strange as I never looked forward to starting any other diet! The great think about CD is that it really does work - and fast. Good luck for the next few days. Once you're past day 3/4 the hunger pangs go. Peppermint tea helps if you need more...

    Secret Eating...........Confessions!

    I talk to my CDC about a "blank canvas". That I just want to get rid of the excess weight as quickly as possible and start again - learn to eat properly again. It almost feels like a second chance. Once the bulk of the weight is gone I think we will all think twice about what we're putting in...

    Hi PennyJane, After what happened to me on Monday I am warning everyone I see on here talking about exercise - see my post from Monday night - "Exercise didn't go too well". Was very scary. I felt like I had loads of energy too, but once you have used that up, there is no reserve if you're...

    Really take care when exercising. Next time I go swimming I'm only going to do maybe 10 lengths. It was such as scary experience. I'm so glad I posted about it now if it stopped something similar happening to you. A lot of people are cynical about this diet, but if you do it properly and learn...

    Tips for mixing shakes please (new)

    Hi, The closest I've got a shake to a maccys milkshake is by blending 14-ish ice cubes with 6 fluid onces of water (instead of 8) and a pack of any flavour. They really do come out quite thick if you've got a powerful enough blender to break the ice. Lovely. x

    What ive learned today

    I had a similar experience recently. Did you go to Knowsley? I went there with my boyf and had a tetra in the car while he tucked into something much more tasty. Funny thing was, it felt like I was drinking it for the sake of it. Were you the same? Well done anyway, CD can give you an amazing...

    Lizi, you have simply made a decision that suits you. CD is incredably unsociable, and if you don't feel it suits you or your lifestyle then you are doing totally the right thing changing to WW. Best of luck x

    Thanks guys. I've been chillin' on the sofa since I got home. Definitely wont be repeating today's activities for a while!! 30 lengths and a sauna was just stupid! My CDC said swimming was okay, but I guess I took it to the extremes. I might try a pilates class in a couple more weeks...
