Well I did cardio wk1 sat completing the week1 trio and did the 10 min fast abs yesterday all with the 6kg so happy with my first week. Having a night off tonight but am thinking of buying some metal bells as my plastic York ones are really bulky. Any recommendations?

Well I did core on Monday with a 4kg bell but didn't feel achy at all next day so did resistance with a 6kg yesterday and can feel it today . Looking forward to cardio on Friday and might try and fit in one of the 10 mina DVD or iron core over the weekend.

Hi Stella welcome to our thread, I have one of the ironcore dvds how did you find it? It may be an idea to start with your 4 as you get to grips with the routine and moves, but I would recommend that you try a heavier bell when you can as this will give you greater results. Good luck with core...

Hi, am fairly new to this forum and I've just bought the 6 week kettleworx DVDs. I've only done a beginners tape (iron core beginners) and havent done any workouts for 3 months. I have a 4, 6 & 8kg bell and wonder if I should start this workout with a 4 and then progress to the 6 or 8 - what do...

I love love love mine - I cook butternut squash chips (sprinkled with cajun spices) sweet potato chips, roast veggies (courgettes, sweet peppers, onions), normal potato chips sprayed with fry light, sausages, chicken, curries - my other half is addicted to the chips as well

You don't fry potatoes in the Actifry as you use a miniscule amount of oil (if any) it works by dry heat which is circulated by air - similar to a fan oven but a lot quicker as a rotating arm moves the food around so it gets evenly cooked which results in the potato being very fluffy but crisp...

Thanks for the offer - have ordered some from amazon as I do like them - how do you make the cauli rice?

Caffeine is a diuretic which makes you get rid of more water through urine

Shirataki (Konnyaku) noodles Has anyone tried these? There are virtually no carbs in these as they are mostly fibre. I have tried them once from Amazon and they were really lovely but I can't find any in London without buying online.

I have the elemis one (bought it from John Lewis for £16) and it seems to work for me - definite improvement to my cellulite. I dry brush then have a shower and then put on cocoa butter firming. Skin is definitely looking better.

I have always had very bad bowels (since having my gallbladder out 5 years ago). I was in hospital for a month and didn't go for 10 days. Anything the hospital gave me didn't work. The only thing that shifted it is lactulose and I always keep a bottle now. Have had a few toilet issues since...

Hi, everyone has posted really sensible advice. I, like you have problems in the evenings. I am absolutely fine during the day as Im stuck at a desk and don't keep anything that I might nibble at. I used to find the evenings were a problem though and I got hungry around 9ish. I now have my...

I have the weight watchers one. Not only do they give you weight but also fat, water, bone density etc. I like the fact that it gives water cos then I can tell when I have a bit of fluid retention from the previous water reading - making my weight higher.

I did Atkins a while ago and its the same with the water. It was explained in his book that when you are in ketosis you have to flush out the ketones otherwise they stay in the body and your body stops producing more until you have got rid of the ones still there, therefore, fat loss isn't as...

I was relatively slim until I had my daughter, lost weight when she was young but put it back on. Can imagine myself slimmer but not slim (i.e. 24 BMI). My daughter also has never seen me slim (she's 23 now) so it will be a bit weird for her to see me slim, but I'm doing it to try and get rid...

My CD has got me down as SS+, 3 CD and a 200 meal and I then have the option of doing SS for a day or two if I want to. Am very pleased with my losses and it keeps me on the straight and narrow having the option of a meal if I want it. Rainbow, your counsellor doesn't sound very helpful or...

Am sorry you're struggling at the moment, am quite new here and your progress (along with a few of the other mainstays) were the ones that convinced me that this diet would work for me. To keep on track I have got a pic of myself when I was a size 10 and I've pinned it to the fridge. I know...

just think about how good your weight loss will be in the first week. They say that the bigger you are the more you initially lose. Don't worry about what you are now, its just a number, just concentrate on what you want to be.

Hi, I'm sure he will notice. I was 16.13 (so almost the same as you) and have lost 22lbs too and am starting to get comments now so I am sure your fella will notice (mine does)

Ok, must admit didn't read the rules closely when I joined the team...oh well

I'm in London and my CDC charges £1.70 per shake £1.99 per tetra/bar

Stella you are sposed to post your WI results weekly for the team challenge __________________ Sorry, didn't know about the weekly posting your weight :( does that mean I've lost my place?

Hi everyone, haven't posted my weight on here in a while - think I was 16.3 (having lost 10lb in first week). I now weigh 15.7 so a weight loss of 10lb since last time, which was about 3 weeks ago?

I take laculose and that usually does the job. It was all I had in the house when I had really bad constipation and thought it might interfere with the ketosis but didn't seem to.

PS, the reason my nurse took me off Gliclazide is she was concerned it was making me gain weight (can be one of the side effects) so maybe if you are overweight then talk to your doctor about a different drug.

Hi, I'm diabetic type 2 and on metformin and was on Gliclazide until yesterday when my nurse changed it to Prandin. My doctor told me to take my bloods regularly and if it got to low then not to take the Gliclazide. Its ok with the metformin but the Gliclazide does take your blood sugar down...

Thanks all - thats very helpful.

Thanks all, is very weird as I don't get them even if I eat crap...will persevere (small price to pay). Hopefully they will start to go now that I'm well into it. Thanks ladies

Don't know if anyone else has found this....have been doing CD SS for coming up to 3 weeks now. Weight loss is really good but the trouble is my skin. I've always had very good skin, hardly ever getting a spot (apart from TOTM and then only one on my chin) but I have found since doing CD that I...

I find Friday nights really really hard. My firm have a thing called Friday night drinks where they supply wine, beer and snacks and everyone gets together. Its quite important to go so a networking thing and then they usually all go to the pub/restaurant when the booze runs out at work. I've...

Hi, I've been doing SS+ for 2 weeks and doing very well. I have to go out for a meal tonight - cannot get out of it - and am worried that I might put on weight if I don't handle it carefully. What sort of things should I go for/avoid. I have had 2 shakes for breakfast and lunch and want to...

Well done you! Your weight loss so far is fantastic. I'm getting my weigh in tonight but its TOTM so don't think it will be much :confused:

This might seem a very odd thing to do but ever since I had gallstones and suffered abominably with constipation and not wanting to take medication, I have found having a really good sing when you are on the toilet to shift things into gear. Apparently when you sing the diaphragm squeezes...

yay!!! I've just finished week one so that's the reason for the big weight loss - doubt it will be the same next week!! Weigh in is Tuesday.

The stick is usually going pink and breath starting to smell by the end of day 1 but I still felt hungry utnil around day 4.

Can anyone tell me what the mix a mousse is and how you use it?

Its the weekend and very sunny in London. Had a major blip last night as it was my friend's 40th and had lots of naughty things but did my stick this morning and it says I'm still in ketosis which can't be right! Anyway, back on the SS today and hopefully it won't make too much of an impact on...

Thanks for that - helps to explain everything

Cheers. I thought as much.

Help....am new to this forum and can't get an avatar - the button saying "don't use avatar is clicked and I can't unclick it. Also I can't seem to add anything about my weightloss (other than ticker) to my signature as it says I don't have room? Can anyone help....is it because I'm new and...

Just had my first weigh-in and I've lost 10lbs! The horror of the first few days seems worth it now. I'm told it gets easier after the 2nd week so am looking forward to that. Going back to the gym tonight so that I can hopefully lose a fair bit next week. Does anyone feel tired on this diet...

Hiya, my weight before starting the CD was 16.13 - am now 16.3.

Hi everyone, had my weigh-in and have dropped 10lbs woo hoo! I'm going to buy a shaker (at the moment I'm taking a tea strainer to work and mushing it through!) Start of week 2. I spoke to my CDC and have decided to do the SS+ as I have diabetes and find I'm very lightheaded with just the...

Hi, I'm Stella - I understand you have spaces left so thought I'd introduce myself and ask if I can join. Just finished my first week on CD SS and my weigh in is tonight - wish me luck! I found it really hard the first 4 days getting used to not eating. Can you really not make the shakes up...

Does Team 21 still have spaces. Am pretty new to this forum and would love to join a team. Am doing CD SS

Hi, I'm fairly new at this posting lark but thought I'd get some feedback. I'm on the 3rd day of my CD SS but yesterday I had a horrid day. All was going fine until I left work to go home. Was really hungry and then started to feel nauseous and got a really bad headache. All I could think of was...

A newbie Have just joined this forum and started CD SS (am on second day). Not too bad with the hunger but finding it hard with the concept of not eating anything. Can you pre-make the shakes before taking them to work as I made a huge mess and ended up with a lumpy shake yesterday. My...

Constipation I've just started the CD SS and asked my counsellor about psillium husks as I had used them previous on the Atkins and she said they weren't allowed on the CD. Am confused now....
