Must be in ket again as so far only had one shake and doing ok at 2pm. Had way too much coffee though, feeling on edge (then again I have been totally riled by a$$hoooole neighbour and have called big guns on him). Bordering on slightly hysterical and anxious and excited at the mo as I have to...

5 weeks is just scary! We will arrange something!

ello! Xmas was great thanks-looks like you had a great and full-on hols! I have been totally off plan, not thought about it at all really and had whatever I wanted.Also worked like a dog over all of xmas though.Only started feeling icky in the last few days and had been avoiding some of my...

It was a light tumble, but unfortunately I forgot where I parked it.

If anyone finds my wagon, can they please send it back to me?

STS for whole week. Why now?right at the end.stubborn,stubborn 2lbs!No way I have been eating too many calories although earlier on in the week I did mess around a bit having wine which may have affected water. Very irritating as I *think*I am smaller. But now I am not so sure lol. I felt pants...

Lol, thanks you. I know I'm not a failure, but my inner-idiot just doesn't shut up! Anyway, I have been 100% today, first in awhile I have to say (well without dabbling in a bit of chicken or egg etc,haven't been generally that bad at all until yesterday).Hasn't been much of a struggle - which...

meh. Bu88ering about now. I ate yesterday, not as in friendly stuff, I actually had carbs. This last bit is going painfully slowly and in the last week I have been feeling pig sick nauseous after every shake (not making excuses but it doesn't help my attitude). Last week on our anniversary I...

:) Check out the siggy. 40lbs gone today. 2lbs to goal.BMI 25.5 (ok that bit not so good but it is still 25 lol). Bit happy. Actually alot relieved, for the last 6 days I stayed at 11.11 so it was a nice shock to go down 2 this morning ;) Thanks weight loss fairy.

what a lovely post Miss Hattie, thankyou :) Voyeur away-I fear I come across terribly miserable on here - but it is a diary and I won't rein in the inner voice's effects on me because that would defeat the point entirely. Lovely rosey diaries don't help much to read anyway, they just make you...

I know I can easily be there for xmas, what I meant was I set myself a goal of being there for the end of Nov, which was yesterday and I am 4lbs off-it was a stupid target. Nov was 7 lbs lost so not great, although one week was undoing the trip away so it is only really 3 weeks. Anyway, another...

Cold cold cold.Not particularly cheery as got ill kids that may well blow the whole weekends plans.I am sick of keto-cold, I have poor hand and feet circulation normally so atm I have numb achy fingers and toes all the damn time, it is getting waring! I just realised my sig is doing me a...

In 3 lbs time I will have lost 40 lbs- that is quite something since September. I am bluddy hungry though. Off to London tonight to see Alanis Morrisette - hope I can find some suitable ketogenic food. Leaving pup with MIL ....eeeek.

I think that is what is up-my compass is totally screwed by the way I respond to those around me,like magnetic waves. I think I will just have to re-evaluate after xmas and give myself a break. I aim to be at goal before then obviously, knowing I will have to go back on it a bit whatever my...

Who am I doing this for? Honestly starting to wonder. My 'ambition' or goal so easily fluctuates- it doesn't matter that it should only be about how I feel - how I feel is affected by those around me, how I perceive judgement,what is deemed 'acceptable' by society, whether I think I am being...

scale flickered today, I saw 11.13.8 for a second before it settled back on 12. I like that :) But this is dragging now, wanted to be at goal by Dec so I can refeed for xmas properly but I won't now. It was a bit ambitious maybe- ahh well, just means I start earlier, it will come off anyway...

Can't see cinema happening in the next couple of weeks, there is too much on for me to get babysitting by the looks of it :/ Don't think I have lost anymore weight but I haven't been able to weigh the last 2 mornings. I did today a bit later after a big coffee but I think allowing for that I...

yes will have to get R over though so need to find a day he can do. Will ask! Is there any evenings you can't do?

12.1 ... been at farm all weekend-had a fillet steak on Sat night instead of 3rd shake - I wasn't going to start the protein meal until I saw 11's but I was so cold and hungry and tired I thought sod it! Anyway,so very pleased to have lost another pound- I really am nr the end of my tolerance to...

12.2 now. And not very well.And glum :/ Ho hum. The former (the ill,not the 12.2) makes the latter worse. Anyway, 2lbs until I start eating. Possibly. Sorry for the grumbles :/

Yes but people see you as a whole - you say you feel more bubbly,outgoing and generally have a more positive attitude when slim. Well if being bigger means the opposite, then that is all part of how they react, it is part and parcel. I am not saying size is irrelevant to others, but how your...

Oh and decided I will start back on 810 introducing one meal in 4lbs time - basically once I see the magic 11 on the scales.I feel good having made that decision - I could do it now as I know I still lose well, but the 11's is a mental barrier and would like to break it quickly.I like having a plan.

hahaha ergh,just wolfed down a bar and it is stuck in my throat. I don't really savour them it has to be said, they taste like chaff. Started my xmas shopping today. Normally I don't start too early as I don't like..well I don't like when it all gets a bit 'tired' before Christmas has even...

Don't leave! You can still keep a diary,it might help :)

12.4 lol, I think it actually did me good,all that beer and minor addiction to Dutch nuts!

I started with a glass of wine last Friday so it pretty much has taken as long to get off as to put on, much better than I anticipated. God I wish I was back there-miserable here today. Feel poop, very very tired, head hurts and just glum because I am on my own with 2 monsters (they aren't...

back to 12.5 this morning- great, now I can make progress hopefully! Woken up with starts of a cold,my ears and sinuses all blocked and head pounding.Staying home this weekend to try and master the crate training.Last night was a definite improvement,he cried a while to start and briefly again...

would one be ok chica? I could just text you I guess but minimins doesn't require signal :)

ketosis protects your lean muscle mass (including your heart!) while being on starvation calories- personally wouldn't risk it but each to their own!

Aw sorry Chazsucks :( I will put on a pic later. Well on puppy news - he is very happy this morning. It was a bit like going back to having a newborn,I am exhausted.MUCH more stubborn than Gun was to crate train, he is 10 weeks rather than 8 so I guess he might protest a bit more and being...

His name is Moss.He is gorgeous but full on.He isn't going to be easy for sure. Gun hasn't met him yet as he is still with OH- coming home tomorrow. This baby is not too keen on going to bed tonight. Amazing how loud he has suddenly become when the kids are asleep ...hmmm.

Border collie - always said never would, commit me now!

day 2... going ok. Just picked up my puppy so been nicely distracted - found it very hard to drive a 3hr round trip though, I need to wee all the time! I'm not even drinking much,it must be all the water I was holding in my body. Was 12.9 this AM so that is 4lb gone in 24hrs. Hope it continues...

of course x

yes, sorry last week was a bit insane- is Friday a bad day for you-I could pop in for a coffee? Tomorrow I am off to get my....PUPPY! lol ;)

there is hunger in my belly, not fire! lol. Got back late last night and back on the wagon. But not really feeling the effects as yet, just feeling bit hungry now(because i am making the kids veggie soup and the smell is hunger-invoking). Had a fantastic amazing time - I LOVE Amsterdam. I...

Of course I will chicky, good luck for Monday xx

The 'holiday' thing is already screwing with my head. Or maybe the AF thing is. So today I have eaten a tub of lf cottage cheese-just because. Then had tea of trout and salad- fine I guess as only had the 2 packs. But I also found myself wilfully nibbling a crust of bread to deliberately start...

well 12.5 is my pre trip loss then. 30lbs gone- pretty pleased with that so far.What I am not pleased with is that AF turned up this morning, 5 days early and just in time to come on my weekend away. Effing marvellous being a woman!

I am more than certain plenty of blokes have /do/will check you out lady,the thing is you just don't notice maybe?! I wonder if I am noticing because I can meet people's gaze now (on a good day) without shrinking off. Maybe, who knows. Or maybe I might be becoming one of those awful people with...

It is indeed! feel back in balance now,and my energy levels and headaches are way better. I ate tonight- was in Southampton seeing my folks and had a busy day -they gave me a FatFace voucher and we went to Winchester to wander around and spend it.Took a bar for lunch but by 6pm was flaking.Mum...

I made it to my Oct goal yesterday- it was only 10lbs though.For 2 weeks my weight loss stalled so goes to show you just have to keep to it (I knew this from the past but 2 weeks pushed even me!) Still, a stone more to go *yawn*!

Get In! 12.7 today. My October goal for going away reached - 1 stone left to end goal!!! Very happy this morning :)

Another lb off- happy birthday me!

That would be awesome, thank you!

what size chicky? And would love them-thanks heaps! xx

Only 1lb for me this week. Only have one more 100% week left before I have to start refeeding for my trip away at beginning of Nov.I really hope I can get rid of the last 3,I hate failing! fayfe - 14bs to lose 4lbs lost 10lbs to go vicky84 -14lbs to lose 0lbs lost 14lbs to go princesskat -14lbs...

12.10.0...1lb 8oz down. Not at all unhappy about that as my body has had to adapt to taking flax which adds bulk and absorbs water and no more violent laxatives -so phew!!! White stuff size 12's came, can get them to my arse that is it(still, they went up my thighs,wouldn't have done that for a...

WI day.I am petrified of getting on the scales. *sigh*

Generally sweeteners are fine, but I think granules can be a problem as they have an anti sticking agent made with carbs (whether that one does I don't know). Even if they have, one coffee won't cause you a problem on day two, just make sure you are careful from now on x

No different from any other time - prob could increase it a bit. Maybe the flax means I need more though so good point! I like the flax,it has kinda started to work but not had a great effect yet,just hope it isn't going to slow me down more. Tastes really nice in the shakes.

:/ fed up. yeah ok,I caved and jumped on them this morning. I dunno, even losing an ounce would have been something when I am existing on 500 calories. But no, still I am exactly the same, 12.11.and those b*****d 8oz as of Monday. I just don't get it.My inner child is having a right tantrum...

I have really bad heartburn. Not happy!!

Ergh, S&S mild curry is grim as. Ended up adding boullion and cayenne but it didn't help.It was exactly as I imagined vlcd sachet dinners to be! I have heartburn now. Ahh well,at least I like 2 so far. For some reason I am really tempted to have a 4th today, would love a hot chocolate or...

Hello diary. Well last 2 days I have been slim & saving. And I am rather amazed - the 'meals' (to use the term lightly) have been very well received so far! Maybe I am at that point where I am desperate for savoury tastes and they therefore taste better than they would have.Either way though, I...

Hopefully pick up some flax today. I feel totally pants,less than zero energy this morning. Sometimes I hate vlcd's. I think my body is complaining. Littlies have colds and it seems I don't get them,but the effort of fighting is about all my body can muster. Hopefully my shake will kick in soon...

Brilliant! Thank you xx

My inner girl has woken up. I have been perusing ebay for clothes. Have a fat face hoody and a used sea salt (God I love their stuff) jumper thing coming (£30 for both) and am just looking at getting some White stuff jeans in a 12 (bargain at £16.00) as a kind of goal incentive - oh but there is...

P husk doesn't do anything for me, flax will-when I'm eating that is :) Fascinated by these Atkins flax pancakes....

12.11.8 what is it with the 8oz?! I guess I call it 12.11. Amazing it isn't more after how ill laxative made me yesterday,honestly thought I was dying. need to find something kinder :/

I'm on week 6 I think,day 39 anyhow! doing ok, food is not bothering me too much, certainly not obsessing like I usually do so that is good. I have nearly 2 stone so that can't be sniffed at. One and a bit to go - will have to start introducing food in a couple of weeks as I am going away for 3...

ooooooo I just tried on some jeans I dug out a couple of weeks ago. 2 pairs of 14's from M&Co - and they fit!! I have never found them particularly generous I don't think, one pair I am wearing, the other are a slim fit sailor style jeans and they do up fine but wouldn't wear them yet as they...

Really sorry to hear you are still in so much pain. First week and a half are hellish - first few days physically, the rest mentally. But you just have to use steely determination to get through the other side and then it is mostly easy as long as you stick to it. I think you are right to wait...

I think it has something to do with yo yo'ing chick,people don't see the point I guess, or they don't notice so much as it isn't new. Yep I think it takes 2 stone to see it without doubt usually and not because people are self absorbed but justnot convinced enough to bring it up- but generally...

Just ordered some more supplies - jumped ship and bought slim & save week trial pack. Did umm and ah about it a bit as they use sweeteners and I am very anti them in general - one of the things I thought made Exante great over CD. I didn't mind the shakes being less tasty, I don't enjoy packs...

Blimey. Thank you chick. I don't really know how to respond to that, being I feel uncomfortable. But there in lies the problem.But thank you. Funny, OH talked to friend who was there at party the other day again yesterday and apparently first thing he said was that I looked really glamorous...

Hello. I had a flat tyre today. And the dishwasher went 'kablam' and died. And the smallest Thing came home from school knowing the F word. And I don't think it was part of the phonics curriculum. Great day. Had an interesting evening last night -OH managed to talk me into going along to help...

The first time I did this I was suffering chronic lower back pain after a condition called spd in pregnancy - where the ligament holding your pelvis together slackens off too much (and in me it remained). The physio saw me from the beginning of cambridge to when I was almost at goal and she said...

You just have to keep your head down,see it like work you have to keep at to get it done. Keep chiselling away, hour by hour you get closer to the 'zone'.When I get resentful I tend to turn it on myself - this is the price I have to pay for my actions. and think, within a week you could have...

I bought myself green tea and white tea yesterday to try and keep more hydrated.I have def been a bit dehydrated recently. The problem is I am so cold. And I mean really, really freezing all the time. I can't light my Rayburn to heat the house because the plumbing needs sorting. I just can't...

You are doing great chick, deffo back in the zone!

Well a combination of things - dared the dulcolax again. And then AF showed up yesterday-explains alot. I wasn't exactly expecting it as although I have felt pms'y for a week, so far I had gone 7 weeks without one and often this diet stops me altogether. But anyway, scales moved and hopefully...

De Ja Vu' on the scales again, 13.2.2. I have been that since Tuesday. Bored. I have week on of the Oct challenge weigh in Monday,so far it stands at 1lb.Wow. It did just occur to me that I took a laxative (sorry tmi) a week ago as things were rather slow and I suppose nowt has happened since.I...

Thanks Claire, same back at ya! Urgh. Mind games. I am absolutely 100% as usual,but yet I feel like I am gaining! Physically impossible, but there you go. Haven't seen the scales go down in days.It happens, on the whole I ignore it, but still that little voice is there...'you'll be doing this...

You lose muscle mass on any diet, ketosis minimises it to an equivalent-ish level of a 'normal diet' vs starvation. In starvation lean tissue is utilised as it is easy to mobilise. Your heart is made of lean tissue...

I've only lost 2.2lbs this week. Was to be expected, I always have these slow weeks and then tend to lose 4/5 the following week. But this morning I woke up and didn't need to pee... I must be retaining water as that never happens. I feel pms'y, got lots of the symptoms but it has been 7 weeks...

It just occurred to me that if I add all my successful diets in the last 12 yrs (as in significant weight lost) up I have done lost over 18 stone not counting this time. The same 3-5.5 stone at a time,but that is phenomenal. The time,the effort, the tears...THE MONEY.What is more, the total of...

Can I join? I want to lose 10lbs by the end of Oct, weighed in yesterday at 13.3. would love it to be more but don't want to be disappointed :)

Thanks Time2go, they kind of are I guess. Equally they remind me of what I didn't take care of which allows doubt to creep in about what might happen this time. What you have achieved is amazing- nearly 5 stone! That is about the weight difference between my two photos. xx

Here, I am going to be brave.My motivation - before and after Cambridge. The before is the biggest I have ever been. I loathe that photo, it is like it is of someone else.After was 11.7 the last time I got to goal May 10. Sorry bout the trifle.

1st10lb to go. Until I realised I had more than half to go I was feeling better lol! But I am pretty chuffed to have achieved this in less than 4 weeks,I am not being ungrateful,honest! :) Last night I made picallilli for Christmas.And it lead to me thinking about all the Christmas things I plan...

Fine diet-wise, 18lbs gone. R taking me to Amsterdam beginning of Nov so I have to come up with a plan.Mind you, having issues with the boy atm so not sure I should go.I deleted my post yesterday because it was miserable, but strangely it has actually not made it harder diet wise so far, I am in...

...

Aw well done Kat-just keep plugging away at it.It is amazing what letting a blip in can do. For me it becomes a warrant to eat everything and go into denial and that is just too big a risk. Takes ALOT of strength to get back on the horse, well done xx

Today is actually a really tough day. I feel run down (kids have colds so I am fighting it I guess). I am hungry for the first time in a about a week. Someone in my friends on facebook just posted a picture of a full roast dinner with yorkshire puddings, dripping with gravy they have just...

Hello cyber world. I tried to start this diary the other day and it lost everything I had written when I posted it.So for now, just a quick hello so I have motivation to keep writing and I will update it properly later. This is my 3rd week on Exante, I have lost 15lbs in 20 days. I am 5ft7 and...

It will,day 5 to 6 are always the turning point for me. Yesterday I didn't even notice I hadn't had anything until 2pm and even then wasn't physically hungry- it comes and goes though.

Thanks Sam! I am messing around at the mo, I am on CD 1000 plan and it is messing with my head (had no probs SS or 790!). Can't keep to it, but equally the things I am nibbling (dried fruit mainly)aren't amounting to a huge amount of cals but not losing weight, so I am worried that if I abandon...

Sure there wasn't vodka in it?:p I drank it most of the way through (well from 2 weeks in) and I naver had a problem of cravings when in ketosis. Well that isn't exactly true, I had cravings, that is nature, but not ones I couldn't resist. I had one can of zero drink a day usually and I never...

LOL, got all excited for a minute thinking I had an answer;)

Wow Bunny, that is absolutely amazing! You look so stunning, you have a real sparkle in your eye too...always the best thing about before and after photos imo! We have been doing CD about the same amount of time I think, only I have only lost 4 measley stones (oh and 1lb!) and only managed to go...

Scarlet, my sister has CFS and was advised that she should be doing GI eating basically. Apparently it has a hugely positive effect on the condition, of course she is steadfastly not doing so and eating crap still ,so I can't comment on effectiveness! As for SS, I don't think you should lie...

Oh wow Pixie, you look amazing! I would never have imagined a transformation like that could happen (not that people can't shrink, but that you can look so good in a bikini after losing so much!)! Maybe cos I have had a baby and there is no way my stomach or boobs are ever going to let me wear a...

The crazy thing about all this is that height and high muscle mass do not always go together. Many a squat and broad but shorter person has a much higher mm than a tall stringbean. But alas, they can't make rules for every eventuality. My old cdc was a right rule bender, she advised men under...

Will kind of depend what size you are at 13.12. I think I was a small 18 at about that weight, I am 5ft6.5, but a curvy figure with big bust and wide hips (where you carry weight makes a big difference I think). I am 11.5 now and just getting into some 12's -which I always thought would be...

Hi, has anyone tried this? More to the point does anyone know roughly how many calories it is per day? I know calorie counting is not the idea here, and I am looking forward to moving away from it, but as I will be coming off a vlcd it is kind of important that I have an idea when I start as I...

since one coffee with milk kicked me out of ketosis this weekend for 2 days there is no way that I will be in it on 790... I will be miserable and hungry I reckon!

Mine has been: Week 1: 14.9 -6lbs Week 2: 14.4 -5lbs Week 3: 13.13.5 -4.5lbs Week 4: 13.10.5 -3lbs Week 5: 13.4.5 -6lbs Week 6: 13.2 -2.5 Week 7: 12.12 -4lbs Week 8: 12.9 -3lbs Week 9: 12.7 -2 Week 10: 12.2 -5lbs ..and this week looking like about 3... so it evens out, just the way the...

Me too... although having about 12lbs to go it is prob a good thing as previously when I lost weight on ww I got complacent at 13.3 (didn't think I was skinny but didn't feel fat either). Not that I feel really truly obese anymore, but I am quite disatisfied. I want to be a size 12 (only just 14...

That really sounds like cystitis, you need to be drinking pints and pints of water to flush the infection out. If you can bear it, dissolve a teaspoon of bicarb in a pint and down it. Believe me, although it tastes mank it really helps as it makes the urine less acid. Quite often if you flush it...

I think if yu weigh in the 12's at the start, a loss of 17lbs is wholly unrealistic (if you were 25 stone maybe)! I started at 15.1 and only lost 6lbs in week one and I stuck to the rules 100% and drank 4litres of water a day. Some lose more, some less, but if you 'only' lose 7lbs in total in...

Hehe, I was joking btw, my diary is on there, I hated being without it :P But I solemny do declare that I will be sticking around here too :)

wahooo! Lets all go make it crash now :)

(((Penny))), sorry to hear you are so down :( I hope you feel better soon, I know what you mean about complete strangers telling you to 'cheer up love, it might never happen'. I used to get that, not for a long time, I figured I must have actually been pretty miserable at the time, but why they...

I think people can actually feel a bit unsure whether to comment... I had several people at work who didn't say anything until 2 stone was gone, one bloke asked me if I had lost weight last Friday (3 stone mark and when I said 'have I?' he said 'oh, sorry, but you have haven't you?'!). Whereas...

I had my wedding dress taken in three times in the 8 weeks before I got married, last time was 2 days before. This was a dress from a bridal shop and they did an urgent order as I gave them about 15 weeks notice -it was no problem to them. This was 5 years ago when I was on WW, so I can just...

:D Oh check out that hot chick! :D :D You look great!

ahhh, I forgot primark, yep the would be on my stingy list too!

You didn't gain..and you even managed to lose lbs! That is great and you should be so proud! By the sounds of it, your body needed the chance to recover, and now it has it is time to march on looking forward, no point dwelling on what is done (even though you have done brilliantly!). Best of...

Haha! could really do with that on my weekly ducolax day :eek:

Hi all, I was just wondering how you all find different shops compare with clothing sizes - ie which you find generous and which measure up small? I am wondering if we all have similar opinions or if we are vastly different. I recently found an article on the net that seemed to be completely...

ooops, we now have two threads the same, one called 'Grrr' and the orginal which says it is moved!

You're a star:D

Thanks Isobel! Meant to go here: http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/13699-cambridge-dieters-forum-19.html

OK, this wasn't meant to be a new thread,meant to go on the cambridge-dieters one! I apologise, how do I delete posts on here?

Grrr! I am not in FRIGGING ketosis:badmood: No wonder I am starving. I tested this morning and got my first ever neg and put in down to the fact that I had a dash of skimmed milk in coffee (altho I was already hungry the night before??)...I know I shouldn't have but it really was a dash and it...

I am soooo hungry today! This is going to be a long one:( Had to get up with Violet at 1.30am and my stomach was rumbling then... and all I can think about is my next shake! Grrr! SHould prob find my ketostix, maybe I somehow slipped out of ketosis, not done anything different I don't...

Stacey, you have the rest of your life to go out for meals with your mates, this is like 3 months.... 3 months is not a long time at all hun, I have lost 3 stone in 10.5 weeks pretty much (if only I didn't have one more to go!). I had wobbles like yours for sure, usually where I start thinking I...

Well done Lynn! We have about the same to go eh? Last push.... And Emma...wowee...5 stone! Amazing! I was 11.13 morning weight today, so yesterday wasn't a fluke:D My morning weight for the last week and a bit has been really falling off, like 0.5lbs per day...freaky, like my first week.I...

((Stacey )) It is part of the binge mentality I think, I have a bulimic sister and tbh, at my worst the only difference is she routinely puked and I didn't (but yep I tried a few times but my gag reflex isn't very strong so it never worked, instead I would self-harm). One puking episode does not...

Hey Sally, we both have the same amount to lose on our trackers... maybe we can spur eachother on :)

:( It is a bit pants how long this is taking really.... Think it was just my computer messing around then... giving me false hope. And I am struggling a bit. I'm not going to cheat but I have to say I am getting closer to it now, which is ridiculous because I haven't got much longer to go...

ooo, the whole cd site is down now...lets hope they are moving servers now :)

Cambridge is a ketongenic diet and slimfast just low calorie and hence you feel like cr*p on it. I never made it more than a week on sf despite having a meal everyday!

Oh JustJo, that is great justification for me thankyou:) Being lactose intollerant I have no bars and don't use the water flavouring as I hate it... I had gone to one mousse every 2 days cos I make them with 300ml water and 2 scoops of MaM. I only get choc and vanilla shakes so with vanilla...

The pro's are easy, there are so many! But mainly, it has given me back my confidence and made me feel like a real person (and dare I say it, woman!) after having my daughter (tho I am smaller and maybe happier than I was pre-baby so it is alllll good). Cons: Social, I am one of those people...

OOO, 24 hrs apparently! I want my diary back! Sorry you feel sick Penny, was it the cashews? The sound so yummy...... stop it Maddy!!!! Bad thoughts. Ok, so weigh-in today (why I miss my diary so much) and it was 5lbs this week :) How good is that! Makes up for the crappy few weeks I have...

OMG, I'm not alone!!!! I'm not sure about this boney lark, in bed I have to put some duvet between my knees if I sleep on my side, my arse hurts like hell at work sat on my chair and I want to take a cushion in but don't want them to think I have piles! Oh and if I sit on the floor my tailbone...

...in a word - minging! Sorry, I know loads of people love them..but I find when you 'cook' with cd packs you end up with salty errgh! Maybe I have sensitive taste buds!
