Day 7..... having a really sore mouth and bleeding gums, started when ketosis kicked in, considering going onto 810 which appears to include skimmed milk and some foods, is that right? Can anyone shed light on how much slower the weight loss is though? x

im ok today, OH is out working so just me and kids again, but surviving not to badly thanx

Not all that sure, just being at home and seem to be longing for food! And its making me really annoyed! Am really crabbit, determined not to crack though..... I think I'm probably feeling sorry for myself and hating myself for it! Argh, tomorrow is a new day x

I suffer with chronic migraines and suffer at least 4 days out of 7 with them and some lasting up to 36 hours but when I am in ketosis they are very rare, going in and out of ketosis could be why they are more frequent for you, I was on the tablets you are on but they didn't help me..... Since I...

Day 3, headache still with me urgh..... Dealing with 3 noisy kids and a constant headache is no fun! Anyway here's hoping this may be the day it goes away as I'm hoping ketosis will kick in, my CDC is dropping off shakes and ketostix for me to check today - fingers crossed that I feel better...

Yeah, not helping lol, I just live with the knowledge it will pass lol

hmmmm dont know havnt tried bars yet, few more weeks to go, but think i may risk the wind just to chew something lol

yeah mines ok now too lol (day 6)

i think forest fruits, strawberry, banana, cappucino and any with added colour really..... i was fine yesterday and had vanilla, chocolate and toffee and walnut, i went on the website and found some info on ingredients and the ones that i had had no colour added, so im thinking that maybe it

ive found it ok, i do miss food, but i know itll be coming back into my life again, just gotta shift some weight first, found some of the shakes are bothering my system, think its the colouring some of them have.

Day 6..... was hungry at bedtime last night, and really thirsty at night even thoughbi been drinking tons through the day, weird! lol

hmmmm..... keep seeing everyone getting a fab first weigh in and kinda feel im missing out on that cos my first weigh in was on day 4..... how do you reckon my 2nd weigh in will work out? Its gonna be a full week from now, i know it differs but feel like im gonna be dissapointed if its the same...

fantastic loss well done!

Day 5 today!

Be next Wednesday, she says she'll be back

Weighed in today as CDC going on holiday (this is day 4 for me on Cambridge) have lost 3.5lbs

Have now got cystitis since start 4 days ago, was fine before..... Anyway the remedies all include taking potassium citrate, does anyone know if this is safe? My CDC is contacting the main offices to find out, but wondered if anyone else had had this problem?

i didnt know it had to be sucralose and not aspartame..... asked my cdc last night and she didnt say that, she said try my water flavouring first, then try a coffee if i dont like it..... anyway had a decaf coffee with 2 aspartame sweetners, will prob have another today and go to shop tonight...

its my legs that are weird today, feels like restless leg syndrome..... hope that passes!

have got tired feeling achy legs, i am now on day 4 is it normal? :confused:

oh my legs are achy and feel tired today, is that normal?!

also seen in the book that can have black coffee on step 1 but on step 2 you arnt allowed it if following option A..... what is option A? i cant find an explanation for it :L

are we allowed tablet sweetners? im sure i seen in the book we are, but what do you guys say?

had choc orange shake tonight, not sure i like it, the taste was fine but my throat has a burning sensation since i had it :/

thanx lexy, ive just had my last shake and am sitting here looking at the clock thinking, i'll have a shower, watch the soaps and hopefully then can go to bed, i just kinda keep trying to find stuff to fill the time in which i wouldve snacked! (which means i must of spent a lot of time nibbling! :@)

Really finding it a struggle today..... Whe does it get better!

Mmmmm toffee and walnut..... Nice!

Day 3..... the headache is niggling away at me :( and seem to be sleeping alot heavier than i ever do, not sure i like that as i like to hear the children if they get up through the night, but could all just be my body readjusting, have cold feet and my legs looked dappled, bad circulation i...

Aw he's out working for 5am each day and does 12+ hours a day, I feel I must do it for him and the 3 kiddies since I'm home all day, we shall all get used to it soon x

Omg! Have just cooked sausage, mash and beans for everyone and could practically taste it with my eyes :L then my boyfriend was sitting eating and said "I feel guilty sitting here eating while you have nothing" Aw bless him x

I agree, have stuck to plain water for last two days and am not wanting to knock myself out of ketosis when I get into it so may not use it til way later on (as thought of this headache etc is not appealing!) Lol

Yeah I kinda thinking that may be the taste too lol I'm doing ok, apart from this bloomin' headache! Argh..... Wish it would go!

I'm in Scotland, my CDC doesn't seem to have tetras :L

Aw good luck, Im on day two, having a few food cravings just now and had a headache for 24 hours, hoping it will clear up soon lol

She gave me it as a freebie, but she keeps asking if I've tried it but I havnt as yet as the book says different.

Right iv been reading my book and it says not to use water flavouring for the first 2 weeks and only 1 serving a day, but my CDC gave me a tub of veg water flavour and said I can have upto 2 a day from the start..... So what have the rest of you done? Has anyone used it from the start and found...

Gotta say am a bit wobbly emotionally today..... My partners brothers girlfriend died this morning, she had heart problems, but we thought that she was past the worst and appeared on the mend and I'm feeling so upset about it, she was only 28 and has 4 kids, its unreal, she was a nice...

Hi I have gained after my 3 child and was a 10/12 before that and its going up and up now a 18/20 :( so have been on Cambridge 2 days and finding it ok..... Although you cheated before but maybe youe head wasn't in the right place..... by the sound of you now your maybe 100% ready for it! Don't...

Just had another choc mint, they're very nice, gonna try vanilla for dinner I think. I'm surprised I'm not climbing the walls yet, although did have a wee craving for onion rings and choc chip cookies (not at the same time lol) but I didn't do it and that's what counts! I may actually stick this...

Not really getting relief from tablets, I'm just hoping it will pass

I seem to be doing ok, I wish the headache would go, I'm sure it will soon.

Just had a cappuccino shake was very nice, headache is still hanging on in there, slept heavier than usual..... Didn't even feel my 3 year old climb over the top off me! Lol

Aw thanx girls, I am heading to lose 51lbs for now and then see if i want to do some more, but maximum of 60lbs I think x

Aww choc mint shake! Best thing I have tasted today mmmmm :)

Wow am I tired! And have a niggly headache :L *yawns*

I also have IBS - had to stop having coffee as it would make my stomach play up badly, but drink about 8 teas a day! I've decided I may just swap my soups and porridges for shakes and keep it simple!

Aw come on you can do it! You got 6 months, use them to get that potential 6 stone off and just keep thinking what a stunning bride you'll be x

Aw poor you :( hope your tummy feels better today x

I can't see me liking soup as I'm not a soup eater anyway, so I will prob be a shake fan too! Will try out the products just to see though, have had a pint and a half of water so far, think its cos I'm missing my cup of tea! Oh well this is for my own good! I must not and will not give in! :D

Had a 'apple and cinnamon' porridge..... It smelt like it but it was sticky, salty and lumpy..... I managed to eat it as I believe you gotta try a new food a few times to get used to it properly, by the end it was ok-ish lol don't know if it will be a permanent meal yet though, will maybe try...

I will do, going to go try a porridge and start drinking water - I'm stopping all caffeine intake aswell, thought I might as well go the whole hog and flush my body right out lol

Right here I go Day 1!

Great loss, well done!

yeah she was! was here about 2 & 1/2 hours chatting lol

and im off the starting block! woohoo took a mixture of porridge, soup and shakes to try out. i am starting first thing tomorrow and she is coming back on wednesday..... so my weigh in day shall be wednesday afternoon from there on! woohoo :)

Thanx krissykat really didn't think I would manage to get it on lol thank you for the help x

Thanx lyndzi76 I am majorly excited about the whole thing! I havnt done meal replacement before, hope I have the willpower to get through the worst bit..... I will keep repeating "nothing tastes as good as slim feels!" Lol

yay i seemed to manage to get it up lol

Ok will give it a go thank you x

ok thanx will do! next question is how do i place my ticker, ive made one just dont know how to get it on here!

not a clue! any suggestions?

i have medication the doctor prescribed me it to prevent migraines (stop the nerves firing off or something) seems to help and if i do get one i have medication to take for that too! sometimes i think im gonna rattle when i run (not that i run often!) lol

luckily i dont eat bread, my worst carb offence would be biccies so doing my best lol. i suffer with chronic migraines and so i will suffer to begin with regardless! bring it on i say! woohoo

I HAD THE CALL! Yay! So excited! The counsellor was fully booked but his wife is also a CDC so she is coming tomorrow night :D

Im trying this one as he comes out to my friend in the same village as me and she says he's good, i emailed him before xmas for some advice etc and he always answered but this week he is hard to get hold of lol - typical!

I wiil do! cross your fingers for me that he calls today, i want to get started asap!

Your right! I am rather excited - wish the CDC would call me back! Oh I am feeling very positive!

Oh I'm biting my finger nails, have just called a CDC and left a mesage to call me back with regards to starting (i have agonized over this for the past month! As scared I'll fail) but now is the time..... Goals this year: * Lose 3-4 stone * Learn to drive * Get finances in order This is not a...

Welcome and well done on your weight loss, disheartening when you have a friend that loses so much more than you (my friend and I joined ww last august, she lost 11st by the time the year was up and I barely lost 10lbs! Lol) we are all different and you've done really well, keep up the good work x

Welcome, I am sure you will make your goals and so glad you've decided to face things head on, good luck x

Hi! Welcome and well done on your weight loss x

Well I have been a ww for years now and advice I have picked up is: if you exercise too much it can hinder weightloss as the muscles retain water to recover, also: the body will cling to any food you consume when you exercise as it will assume you are starving. I'm not saying its the reason, but...

Hi I'm new too, I'm sure you will get your figure back, wishing you luck x. I'm wanting to do cambridge diet, havnt started yet, but determined I will lol x

8lbs is a good loss well done x

I'm very much wanting to do Cambridge..... Bit worried about willpower..... But think the thought of shedding the fat is pushing me to go for it! I keep looking at clothes I could wear if I could get the weight off!

This is very encouraging! I'm new and actually just going to quit WW as I've had enough, have realised today that I was this weight this time last year, so have got nowhere! Anyway considering my options..... Have tried SW in the past but couldn't get on with it cos I suppose my mind is set in...

Thanx Debbi I appear to be stuck on limited boards for now until I do a certain amount of threads etc! Anyways hope people will see me here and help push me in the right direction! Lol

Sorry the was SW not AW (my phone is predictatexting! Lol)

Hello all, I'm new and actually just going to quit WW as I've had enough, have realised today that I was this weight this time last year, so have got nowhere! Anyway considering my options..... Have tried AW in the past but couldn't get on with it cos I suppose me mind is set in WW mode, so 4...
