    Why Did I Do It????

    Hi Lisa, Try not to worry too much! I've done the same this weekend... OH had Fish & Chips on Saturday night but I resisted and had a chicken Salad (as I knew i'd cheat otherwise.. I love F&C). Yesterday we went shopping and OH and Kids had Burger King and I resisted, just sat there with...

    I've decided to go to SS+ today (so I won't feel bad). I've managed to be good all day, but my OH has just gone out to get Fish & Chips and know that I will cave if I don't have something of my own to eat. It's been one of those days were you just feel really grumpy, blobby and just BLEUGGH...

    Well I have been suffering the past 3 days the opposite to Constipation and I'm not ill, not been feeling rough etc. I'm 100% SS so very surprised that I have been as my 3yr old says "Squit Pot Botty" and quite a bit too :sick0019:, with little warning (TMI i'm sorry) was wondering if anyone...

    Prices!

    DietGirl That does sound very expensive. My CDC was explaining the profit margain that they are allowed to make and to be honest it certainly sounds like she is bumping up her prices to make a lot more! I would definately find another CDC.. (mine charges £1.90)

    The gym bunny is back :)

    Good for you sunshine! I've just started getting back into the Gym and it's amazing how good it makes you feel.. it's all those endorphines racing round after a work out (and the fact that you can actually look at yourself in the mirror and feel good!) Well Done you x

    Odd period during CD?

    Well I'm in a similar position(ish). I had a miscarriage and subsequent d&c 4 weeks ago and I still haven't stopped bleeding. I keep thinking that it's finishing, but then it starts up all over again.. full on TOTM type bleeding. I'm not sure if this is to do partly with CD or maybe something I...

    Hi, I've only been doing CD for 3 weeks, but I have been going to the gym as I did before I started CD. I have changed my workout a bit. I no longer do large amounts of CV work, I used to do 40mins Cross Trainer, 20 mins Rower. I've now cut that down to 20 Mins Cross trainer and then some...

    Is it any good??

    The Golden Vegetable flavouring... I am craving something savoury and as I detest all the soups, my CDC said that I should give this a go. Does anyone else have it and what's the texture like... as one of the main reasons I don't like the soups is the powdery texture. Thanks xx

    A little question - need some advice....

    My Sons were 17months apart and fortunately enough I didn't get swollen ankles. If I were you, i'd nip down to the doctors just to get it checked out... definately sounds like some kind of water retention. Hopefully you'll get it sorted soon enough x
