    Milk? Can I count carbs?

    Hi everyone - thanks very much for your replies. I think I will continue with the milk and count the carbs, and limit it to 2 cups a day. And yes to NekoZombie - I am sticking 100% to the plan, not a single cheat has passed my lips.....I'm just going to carry on and see what happens:)

    Milk? Can I count carbs?

    Hi everyone - hope Easter was good for everyone:) A disappointing WI this week with no further loss - was tempted to give up but have decided that I must give it longer to work (though I'm going on hols in less than 2 weeks and wanted to lose more:(). Anyway question time - if I count the...

    In ketosis so why pounds on?

    Thanks again! Today the scales are back to where they were on weigh-in day and still have time to lose before weigh in on Sunday morning. Fingers firmly crossed and I'm still sticking with it and not been disheartened by gain......what I have realised is that I need to stick with something...

    In ketosis so why pounds on?

    Thanks everyone - I'll cut out peanuts, reduce cheese, increase water and see what happens! Don't want to give up as I really like eating this way as it enables me to socialise:)

    In ketosis so why pounds on?

    Hi Jim, I've used testing sticks to check and they are def coming up quite dark purple (and they are in date, used ones on the ward at work). This is why I'm so puzzled - I have done everything exactly as the same as last week and have been so good avoiding all temptation such as chocs, cakes...

    In ketosis so why pounds on?

    Hello I'm Minxie and I'm addicted to scale hopping;) Does anyone know why, after a great loss last week, and despite still being in ketosis and drinking all my water, the pounds are going back on again? :cry: I'm afraid I weigh every day and while last week they went down each day this week...

    3 stone gone!!!

    Wow, well done!

    Water..does it make a difference?

    Are you having caffeine free tea? Some people find that caffeine stalls their weight loss - though that clearly hasn't happened to you!

    Amazed myself

    That's really hard to do, well done for not giving in and eating! I am so impressed with your willpower - I am always having arguments with the little demon who sits on my shoulder saying "eat it, you deserve it" but unfortunately he usually wins:( Big congratulations and may it continue for...

    Minxie's diary

    Well today is Sunday - 2 nightshifts under my (looser) belt this week which has been a bit of a challenge but I've done it. Apart from half a tin of tuna and a sliver of chicken I've been SS all the time. Not bad as I was going to do a mixture of SS and SS+ - not had enough to qualify as SS+...
  34. M

    tuna...?

    I'm pretty sure that my CDC said that we could have balsamic vinegar.
  35. M

    So proud of me!!

    Well done you! It must have been very challenging and you came through:) I am struggling today and really want to eat - I have eaten a tiny sliver of chicken and that's just made me want more:( Still the scales are showing a good loss so far so I need to keep that in my mind. Well done again...

    cost of bars

    Mine are £2 but CDC not mentioned any price rise yet.

    First weigh in.........

    :clap::clap: Well done! Bet you are really pleased with yourself. And well done for drinking today, it's so tempting not to eat or drink anything on a WI day - luckily for me my CDC does house calls and comes to me first thing in the morning, in the past I've resisted the urge to strip off...

    Mouth like sandpaper

    Oh no, poor you. I was just wondering when I'd start to get "carpet tongue" again, lol. Hopefully it wont come yet for me. I think it feels as though I've been licking the carpet, yuk!! It will pass, just keep drinking lots and mouthspray does help:)

    what is the best way to make mix a mouse work

    The way I make it is this: Add a good scoop of mix-a-mousse powder to your shake powder in the packet. Give it a good mix to distribute it evenly through the shake. Then add to really cold water (add crushed ice if you prefer) and blitz for at least 1 and half mins. Put into fridge for about...

    toilet problem :(

    Forgot to say that I have the complete opposite problem when I'm on CD;)
  57. M

    toilet problem :(

    It could well be all the stress but it also could be CD. Some people find that this is a side effect but it can be sorted by adding more water to shakes than usual and also to have only half at a time - so make up half the packet and keep the other one till a bit later. Might be worth trying...
  58. M

    Help!

    You can buy water flavourings from your CDC too - the sunshine orange one is lovely and there's also a berry flavour I think:) I'm just visiting from SW forum - used to be a CDer but lost the mojo:(

    Feeling hungry again after having dinner

    One girl in my group bought a food flask from Sains - you know the ones with a large opening, good for stews etc, and she makes up her porridge in that and takes it to work for later.

    Thanks everyone - I was wondering whether or not to phone head office and you have made up my mind for me!

    This week I have had to visit another group as I couldn't go to my usual class. I think the group leader is fairly new to the class but has other classes elsewhere. I was so shocked last night when she said "so and so (giving their name) in my such and such group (telling us where) is about...

    Help! Anyone else gained while sticking to plan but doing mainly Extra easy days?

    This happened to someone in my group - she was sooo disappointed. The SWC asked her to keep a food diary and stick with it for another week and still no loss - so she is adamant that EE is not for her and she's gone back to green and red days and is losing again. I don't think that EE is for...

    I have been losing and gaining the same few pounds since joining in October:( I've been doing extra easy but have been slipping and I think my biggest downfall is the carbs - I know that some people do very well on it but it's really not for me. Does anyone else just do Original? I'm going to...

    Strange consultant?!?

    Sorry, just answered my own question by checking it out on SW site. They are "allowed" - fab as I just love the dark choc and almond ones:)
  67. M

    Strange consultant?!?

    Hmmm, the consultant at my group also says that Fibre Plus bar is not a Hexb - do you know where it says that it is? I think they are yummy and although I love the hifi bars they do work out quite expensive.

  69. M

    How can I have put on weight!!!

    Poor you ((hugs)). However perhaps you should be eating your syns. Maybe you are not eating enough and that will stall any loss. Have you thought of posting a food diary for us to comment on? Did you keep a food diary during the weeks to check yourself? Don't give up - you might just need...

  77. M

    Disappointed

    I only lost half a pound and I was soooo good:cry: Still I started out thinking that if I lost 1lb a week I'd be 4 stone lighter by this time next year and I'm still on target for that - 6lbs in 6 weeks, but it seems a bit feeble compared to others:(

    yesterday 3 dec 2010

    Well done for drawing a line under it - have you learnt anything by it? I find that if I lose nothing or stay the same I turn to food which when I think about it logically is just making the situation worse - a good loss is much more motivating and I just want to stick with it. Years ago I knew...

    Just thinking what to do

    Good morning Littleone, couldn't leave you with no replies though it is early yet. I think increasing fruit and veg is a great idea. I'd add to that cut out any fat and sugar. Make up a bit pot of veg soup to snack on if you needs it. Do you have any frylight? If you do then treat yourself...

    Why am I gaining not losing

    Hi Ceriann, now I'm not an expert, nor am I a good example, lol, but I do wonder whether you'd see more of a loss if you ate your superfree foods as part of your meals rather than as extras. It might be that you are eating too much with all that snacking in-between meals. If superfree foods...

    One step forward, two steps back

    Well I've had my 4th WI tonight (been on SW for 5 weeks but had a short holiday). I'm back to where I was after week 1 which is a bit sad but I guess I know exactly where I've been going astray. Tomorrow is a new day and I will treat it as week one again - perhaps I can get a big loss next week:)
  84. M

    3rd W/I

    And I have lost 2.5lbs:D I'm very pleased with myself this week as it almost makes up for the gain last week. It's a bit tricky in as much as I have to go to different groups each week as I work shifts but luckily where I live there are groups most days. And the welcome is warm wherever I...

    First weigh in

    Awesome! That's fantastic, especially as you don't have masses to lose like me. You'll be at target before you know it:) Don't forget to work up the plans as I believe maintenance is really hard without it - not that I'll find out for quite some time!:)

    Hey Lindzi you haven't failed you've just "blipped". You know that you can't possibly have gained 3lbs of fat since that would add up to about 10,000 calories which would make mighty huge bits of bread;) Put it behind you and find a plan that will work for you right now. Remember you haven't...

    First Weigh-in - worth the effort!

    Thanks everyone, I'm still smiling:) Looking forward to next week's weigh in already, lol.
  116. M

    First Weigh-in - worth the effort!

    Moti, 7lbs is brilliant too - that's half a stone!! Well done.
  117. M

    First Weigh-in - worth the effort!

    And I've lost 9lbs:D:D:D I'm so pleased with myself - the journey has begun well which is a real incentive to continue. Big thanks to my CDC for her support too :)

    My River Island trousers.....

    Congratulations - I can imagine the smile on your face when you put them on! Well done on a fantastic weight loss so far:)

    OMG more than half way there

    Well done! Hope the rest goes quickly for you:)

    That's really great - worth staying on track for eh? Well done and here's to next week:)

    Eating by proxy!

    Glad it's not just me then, lol. DikMeisje I'd be happy to buddy up - we've also got similar start weights and targets. For fear of sounding like an idiot I've never buddied up before so not sure how best to do it - any ideas? PM me if you like.:)
  122. M

    Eating by proxy!

    My DH mentioned last night that when I do CD he has far more treats and nice food in the house than usual. I end up buying really nice things for him - probably subconsciously the things I'd like to eat, lol. Does anyone else do this? He calls it my vicarious eating habit :eek: (at least I...

    what did you want to do

    Just discovered this great thread - really funny reading how most people did something different. I really wanted to be an astronaut!! It would have been my dream job and I still dream about what it must be like - however in REAL LIFE I knew that was pie in the sky, lol, pun intended ;) At...

    Can I join in? :)

    Just wanted to say hi and well done on your very impressive loss so far and on maintaining it so well. How have you managed to maintain it? I'm on SS at the moment and just 6 days in, weigh-in is on Tuesday morning and I can't wait. I did this last year and did well but then life ran away with...
  126. M

    add a meal week after sole source plus???

    I don't think so - I thought that you only had to do add a meal week after 12 weeks SS in accordance with NICE guidelines on VLCDs. Perhaps a CDC can shed light on this.
  127. M

    Starrrrrrrving

    ROFL, what a great support network you have. My DH forgot for a moment yesterday that I was CDing again and came back from paying the paper bill with 2 bars of my favourite chocolate for me! They are quietly lurking at the back of a cupboard somewhere, whispering my name, lol. I am ignoring...
  128. M

    Starrrrrrrving

    Me too! I'm on day 6 and can't stop thinking about food today. So far I've done some gardening, read the papers, chatted on the phone and in the end just went to bed for a couple of hours - even I haven't perfected the art of sleeping and eating at the same time, lol. I have drawn the line at...
  129. M

    Starting tomorrow - any tips?

    Good luck, you'll enjoy the results if you stick with it. Are you doing SS (sole source) or a starting on a higher plan? Just take one day at a time, have plenty of things to distract you - eg knitting, sewing etc for the evenings so you don't think about eating, and lots of early nights...

    Smaller jeans already:)

    Today I had to put on my size 16 jeans as the 18s are much too big and I end up spending all day pulling them up again. I was so delighted to find that the 16s are comfortable without being too tight. I'm only 5 days into SS and not yet had a weight in but feeling great today. This diet is...
  132. M

    FRUSTRATED!

    Come on gennalouise, 10lb in 2 weeks is fabulous! Pat yourself on the back and be proud. Next week you are bound to have another good loss which you would find harder to acheive week after week on other diets. You can do this:)
  133. M

    Hello :o)

    Hi, I remember you - well done on maintaining so well, I'm back on a restart after regaining nearly all I lost:( You must be so excited re the TT. You may not need to lose that last stone as you might find that after the TT it has gone! Certainly hearing from others who have had it done their...

    Feel Like Throwing in the Towel

    Sorry you are struggling, I guess most of us do at some point. Mini's advice is really good as you can also fit it around your social life. Don't just throw in the towel as you'll put back all that weight while having a good time and then you'd just be beating yourself up again afterwards...
  135. M

    Tired and tetchy:(

    Thanks everyone - I've been fighting a devil on my shoulder this afternoon/evening too and keep thinking about eating - which WILL make me feel worse! I need more water so will keep glugging and have sat and made several long phone calls to friends and that has kept me distracted - not long...
  136. M

    Tired and tetchy:(

    I've managed to stick to SS for 4 days now but am getting really short-tempered and tired - is it CD or is it my hormones?? At least I've 4 days off work now so everyone there can breathe a sigh of relief;) I'm finding it okay and waiting for the promised surge of energy.........would like it...

    Help! Fibre supplement question

    The only big downside of CD for me is the horrid side effect of constipation:(:( I've tried using fibre supplements such as Benefibre and Fibresure but not sure if they have helped or hindered me. I've considered trying the CD fibre powder - does anyone know if it's any better/different than...
  140. M

    Returning to CD

    Hi and welcome. Your loss last year is really impressive, did you do sole source? Good luck this time too:)

Am half-way through my choc mint shake before heading...

    I'm back again!

    I'm back again and this time determined to last more than a few days - lost 36lbs before on CD and have regained most of it now. I've stopped and started so many times this year that I feel like a yo-yo:eek: but it has been a very traumatic year for me so I do have some excuse. However I've...

    Hi Madferret, nice to "see" you;) Still managing to stick 100% to low carb and feeling better by the day.

    Good morning Diary! I have now completed 6 whole days of low-carbing, including going out for lunch - and have managed to stick to it completely - yay!!:) I feel so much better than I did, feel lighter and "looser" - lost all the aches and pains that I wake with when I've been eating carbs...

    Coconut milk/cream?

    Hi Steve, nice to meet you. Well done on your very impressive loss so far, did you do most of it on CD?
  152. M

    Coconut milk/cream?

    Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a few days, normally on the CD forum but have changed to Atkins a few days ago and it's going well. Just a question, can we use coconut milk or cream? I can't remember whether it's permitted once you are past induction phase. Good to meet you all:)

    Hello diary, well I'm still low-carbing and the scales are shifting downwards again thank goodness and I feel better. Still think I may be CDing again in a few weeks so don't feel too bad about posting here! It's so lovely to chat here and meet up with friends, esp Madferret:) who gives me...

  155. M

    Minxie's diary

    Hi again! Don't be hard on yourself - I know understand what people mean when they say this diet is hard - we know it works brilliantly, the hard bit is actually doing it and sticking at it. I think your busy life and kids are just as valid a reason for not sticking it out as all the stuff...

    Hiya Madferret! Nice to hear from you. Life still pretty complicated at the moment and my CD plan and sponsored diet has miserably failed:( OH still in hospital and having the expected complications so he's a bit poorly to say the least so I have to admit that my weight has come way down my...

    Busy week so far, up and down to London means 6hrs travelling each day! Have not managed 100% SS yet but doing much better than I was. Not quite getting enough water yet - not enough time near a loo, lol;) I feel positive and happy with what I am doing at the moment - it should improve...
  158. M

    Minxie's diary

    So it's a new week and a new beginning (again). OH is in hospital for next 4-6 weeks, the fridge is empty and the diet can recommence. Travelling up to London most days to visit will help keep me out of the supermarket too, lol! Watch this space.....

    Hi Madferret - how are you? I have been pleasantly surprised today as after 3 weeks of bad eating for 95% of the time I was weighed today expecting a massive gain and have lost half a pound! It's ridiculous how happy that made me.......just a few ounces off and I have smiled all day:) I have...
  161. M

    Feel a bit mean :(

    Don't feel mean, I find it all too easy to find an excuse to eat and it all goes horribly wrong. I think you've been very kind to yourself by not going - wait for that reward on the scales:)
  162. M

    Minxie's diary

    Hi again. Well we had our couple of days/nights in London - hospital went well and we caught up with a couple of friends too which was great. The diet is rubbish though with thoughts of abandoning it altogether. BUT CDC is coming tomorrow and I've asked her to give me a good kick up the bottom...

    disapointed!!!

    Hi Mandy-j, hope today is better for you. Just put yesterday behind you and move forwards:)
  164. M

    day 4 and seriously hungry

    Poor you - hope you feel better today. Perhaps while you are having exams it might be worth doing SS+ or 810, then going back to SS when you have finished them. Or maybe it has just passed today and you feel right as rain......hope so:) Good luck in the rest of your exams.
  165. M

    shift workers help!!

    Poor you, 8 nights will be a killer! I tend to have 4 shakes on the first day/night and last night/day as you seem to have more hours than usual, lol. Then I just have a shake or bar before work, another at breaktime and one before going to bed. I try to drink more at night, and even add mint...

    Day out on Saturday

    What a lovely idea. I always think of egg and tomato sandwiches, complete with sand, on picnics - lots of picnics on sandy beaches as a kid! Didn't think we could eat salmon as it's quite oily - perhaps you could have a couple of boiled eggs and salad, or a bit of chicken breast? Hope you...

  173. M

    Day 1 :)

    Hi, well done on your fantastic loss last week - you'll acheive great things here too! There is so much choice on CD that you are bound to find lots you love, as well as some you don't. I can't stand the soups or porridge, shows how different we all are, lol:)
  174. M

    About to get lectured for being on CD :-(

    Why do you have to tell them anything? Do you ever notice how much or how little slim people eat? I can't say I normally notice how much anyone else eats unless they draw attention to it. You could say you are on antibiotics for some reason and that you can't drink alcohol, and that they make...

    Hi Vicki, welcome back. Glad that your back is better now. I don't think that level of exercise is recommended on SS but maybe you could do a higher plan which will give you enough energy for the gym. Have you asked your CDC? Hope it goes well for you - another bonus of losing weight is...

    Making the descision.. Help..!

    I know what you mean about lots of different events coming up - but there will always be events and socialising - don't keep putting it off. I have been there, done that and am almost back where I started - if I'd just stuck with it and only eaten at the time of the event, I'd be a lot thinner...
  183. M

    OUT OF DATE PRODUCTS

    If they taste okay then I'd probably use them with new products, eg 2 out of date and 2 new if you are on 4 a day - that way the new products will be packed with vits etc. I think that they go a bit rancid if they are too out of date - not sure I'd try an out of date tetra though.

    As said by others I think the vitamins and minerals are lost. I guess if you have no choice though, and it keeps you from eating/drinking other things then you have to try it. It's worth asking your CDC for a few bars or tetras for times like this even if they are in the first week or two -...

    Minxie's diary

    Weigh-in day - CDC should be here in 45mins and I will see whether or not I have lost anything this week - hope to lose some at least. Today is a busy day for me with no time to eat, lol. More importantly not much time to drink water as I wont be able to keep going to the loo, lol. Have WI...

    wednesdays * hour by hour * thread

    Thanks for starting this up again - I've missed it! I know that I could have done it but when I've tried once or twice there hasn't been much response and I kind of gave up:( However it is great to join in a daily thread so I'll be here tomorrow:)

    Minxie's diary

    Today is Weds and day 17 of CD - a breakdown shows I have done: 7 x SS 3 x SS+ 6 days - slip ups, not all disastrous but please slap my hands:( I have been haunted all night by the thought of all my sponsors and letting them and myself down so today will be SS all the way. Yesterday was a bit...

    Writing it down to keep me on the straight and narrow

    Good for you Jess, keep at it! I'm having a bad week after a bad weekend but sponsorship makes me feel guilty and I am back on plan again today, lol. Doubt if the scales have moved downwards for me this week:(

    Hi again Madferret! Hope your switch doesn't mean we wont "meet up" anymore, lol. I think SW is a great plan and I hope to go onto it when I get close to my goal weight. For now I need weaning off food and ginormous portions;) Good luck - is the SW forum good?

    Just want to say Hi

    Hi Mollydog, welcome back. I'm back again too after losing 36lbs last year and regaining most of them:( After several false starts I'm now back in the swing of it and am doing SS or SS+ when I need to eat something. Good luck:)

    Can you have Atkins bars when doing Cambridge Diet?

    Wouldn't have thought so but maybe a CDC can help.

    Minxie's diary

    Today is Monday and I've had a difficult weekend with lots of social engagements revolving around food :( Didn't do as well as I should have done but determined to get back in line today and surge forward. Nothing else in diary until 25th May so should manage a clear run till then. I've...

    Hi Rana, welcome to CD and well done on your fabulous loss so far. Which plan are you doing? If you are on SS then ketosis should not be making you feel sleepy. Are you drinking enough water - if I feel a bit tired another couple of glasses of water generally help me to feel a bit more...

    I will find the thin me!!!

    Hi Rae, welcome to CD - you must be very excited today! Like you I am a comfort eater and have been overweight for most of my adult life with brief periods of not being quite so heavy. I find that CD suits me exactly because it takes food away and I don't spend time thinking about what to eat...

    Thanks girls! I have to admit that having been sponsored for lots of money is helping me to stick with it. Everyone has been so generous and I'd just feel like I was letting them down if I didn't do well. Jennie - you might not have enough posts yet to be able to add more to your signature...

    Hi Lola Don't give up! Drink plenty of water, take a couple of paracetamol and see how you feel. I'm a midwife which is also pretty demanding but find that I can manage fine at work now (day 12) but have to admit that for the first 3 days I was on holiday so didn't struggle. It might be...

    Thanks Shanny, I feel very proud of myself as I have had so many "false starts" which have only lasted a day or two. This time I am determined to succeed and have told everyone so that they can support me. Not one person has criticised CD which is amazing;)
