Hi all - I've started studying again and I find that I'm tired more than ever and tend to eat more and more. I also find that because I'm tired I've less patience with the kids which means I end up getting more exasperated and then again tend to eat more (vicious circle and emotional eating I...

HI - I'm a new CDC but was just wondering for the consensus on taking measurements of guys. Do guys tend to want their measurements taken or just go by the scales? (I've a man coming to me for the first time today and I'm a little unsure about taking the measurements etc ....I was thinking...

Hi - I'm a recently qualified counsellor in Dublin. I have one client who is SS and sticking to it 100% (and I know for a fact she is - if it were someone else I'd query - but without a shadow of a doubt she's sticking to it). Anyway, first week loss was 7lb, second was 3 and last two weeks...

Many Thanks Bunny & well done on your weight loss - fantastic !

Thanks a mill folks. Great to have more tips & inspiration for those really hard days. Much appreciated.

What do you guys do when you can't shake the constant urge to eat and eat and eat? I've had such a tough day today where I've just wanted to eat all day long - I've two little kiddies so couldn't take myself off for pampering etc so had to just try with eating away on cabbage, cucumber etc and...

Hi - having read the post on weight losses on 790, just wondering what the average weight loss is on the 1000 and 1200 plans? Many thx

Thanks for all the posts guys. Much appreciated. It does seem that doing cd (or any other diet) does seem to make you re-evaluate things :) Hope all works out well for everyone. Thanks again.,

Hi Folks - Just wondering if anyone has encountered the same as myself. I'm on this diet about 5 weeks now and I just find that things that I used to put up with before now seem so much more awful. I think anytime I was fed up before I just turned to food whereas now that I can't do that, its...

I wonder can you use powdered milk instead? I think this is skimmed but it does taste better in tea/coffee than the actual skimmed (well to my weird tastebuds anyway :)). Is powdered milk OK do you think?

Hi folks! I'm on hols and unfortunately after 3.5 weeks of sticking 100% to ss, I broke out last night. Willpower and my emotions were at an all time low (especially with everyone around me eating pasta, pizza and drinking wine - I'm in the Chianti region in Italy - boo hoo!). Anyway, last...

Thanks guys.Apols for taking so long to reply - I'm on hols at the moment so don't have as much access to the internet :) I might leave the gherkins and onions for now. Better to be safe than sorry ! Thanks again.

Hi - just wondering can you eat onions on the aam and 790 plans? Also are things like pickled gherkins allowed? Many thanks

Thanks guys. Icemoose - what you said makes sense as I was eating very low carbs for a few weeks before the diet so hopefully that's why the weight loss is slower. Andyou are all right in that hey - I've lost half a stone now so far in a week and a half - if I'd been on weightwatchers that...

Thanks a million Maybe Baby & Sallies. Good to know I'm not alone in the slow weight loss - I keep trying to console myself that maybe the less you have to lose the less that comes off (eg. maybe its only possible to lose say 10% per week of what you want to lose?). I also took you up on the...

I'm on Day 11 of SS but my weight loss is much slower than I expected (I know I had high expectations but I am a little disappointed). I've lost 6lb in the 11 days which is averaging out at around .5 lbs per day but I really thought I would have lost double that amount by this stage. I've...

Thanks a million guys. I really appreciate your replies. Feeling a bit better now. I'm browsing this site and reading about how many people have done it for longer and lost so much - I'm such a wimp in comparison. Another litre of water down and I'm going to head to bed and hopefully sleep it...

Hi - I'm on Day 10 of SS but today I'm finding it soooo hard. I really really want to eat. I haven't broken it at all - the only difference today is that I had a bar for the first time. Do you think that would make a difference (I'm wondering if the chewing action reminded me of food)...
