I have it and it's amazing! So personal and geared to me and she changes the workout every time. She knows I'm unfit (at the mo!) so is taking it easy. Every 10 workouts we repeat a fitness test and as I improve she works me a little harder!! I love the progress graphs, you see your heart rate...

Hi. I'm the CDC in Sunderland (Silksworth) you not find me on the website?? Or you just not like the look of me ;)

Am I the only one?? I really HATED it! Had to put it in the bin after one mouthful! Tasted artificial and made me gag :( :( :(

Thanks, I will. I just found them on another website so thought I'd compare prices x

There little test tubes filled with the fat that remains in your body after you've eaten certain foods. A quarter pounder has 3 tubes of solidified white fat!!! A gr8 visual aid!

Does anybody know how much the test tube's of fat cost?? The fat blob (5lb) is about 50 quid, but I thought the tubes would also be a good incentive to clients and to me ;) Deb

That question was asked on my training day 2 weeks ago to the manager of Cambridge. He said it wasn't financially viable at present and that we are the biggest adverts for the diet, so we are to spread the word as much as possible. Apparently, there's no better advert than a successful client...

Most of them will have a higher BMI than you. The heavier you weigh, the more calories your body needs to work, therefore, the deficit whilst on SS is far greater for them so they loose more. You're BMI isn't too high, you're doing brilliantly! x

10lb on over a month :( Really pigged out mind, went to bed feeling sick each night! Going on a cruise with my hubby delicious in 3 weeks so have to get my but in gear..... back on the plan tomorrow! x

Pretty split down the middle isn't it? I'm still not sure what to do. I know there'll be other Christmas's but at the same time I haven't lost 6 stones and worked blumming hard to miss out on Christmas. Think if i was at the beginning of my journey and not the end I woud be good and probably do...

You doing SS, AAM, 790 or higher? I had to have surgery 2 weeks ago and had to eat carbs to heal after op..... OMG that was it, I ate everything and anything as Id been without for 6 months and I gave myself an excuse.... Back on track now and doing 790. This has made me nervous for...

I'm just over 5' 8"

Just got back from my weigh in..... I've reached the 5st (70lb) land mark! YAH! :party0049: I started exactly 5 months ago, so I guess I'm on target even though I've been messing around with extra protein whilst SSing. Anyway only a stone and half to go. Wanted to share my joy as I feel like...

I feel like today I've broken through a mental barrier. I started this diet just over 4 months ago in the high 17's and this morning when I went on the scales I saw a 12!!!!!!!! :party0038: This to me is MASSIVE. I was always 12 stone something and was married this size so getting back here...

Hello, I'm Debbie. I'm 28yrs old and live in Newcastle. I've been married to my Cambridge born husband Luke for 6 and half years and we have three daughters; Grace (4), Olivia (3) and Lucy Love (1). I qualified as a primary teacher but only do supply now as I have my girlies at home. My...

A dress size is every 2 to 3 inch loss apparently. I started at 17st 8.5lb, 5' 8" and a size 22 bottom, 18 top. 17 weeks and over 4st later I weigh 13st 3.5lb, a size 16 bottom and 12 top. Im a 14 bottom in NEXT!!! Amazing when you think about it, smaller clothes are more fun!

I really want to know the answer to this too...... someone please answer! Ive just passed the 4st mark but still have a ton of cellulite but not sure if last 2st to go will shift it..... will I just always have it? :(

I second what wannelose8stone says. It took me quite a few weeks. I think by week 4 I was flying! I just had slow down the pace of life, sleep a bit more and rest x

Serotonin is the chemical in the brain that regulates mood, emotion, sleep and appetite. Ketosis suppresses the release of serotonin therefore suppresses all of the above. Proven to lead to depression etc. I find I feel really flat when I'm SSing, not so much grumpy just sad! :( but it's soooo...

I feel like i've got PMT every day almost.... lumpy boobs, really big lumps all along the top, achey tummy and periods coming every 20 days now! Anyone else have this? I flit between SS and 790 day to day depending on what i'm doing or where I'm going, but should I see my GP about this or just...

I can't believe the difference in your face..... You look awesome, completely different! Keep posting, I love photies! x

Well we fly off to Spain for a week tonight..... so no shivering for me.... YEH!!

Awesome! you did this on 790 right??

Yep! You're all right, keep off the scales and put it down to water. I fly off to Costa Del Sol on Tues and had set a goal of loosing 50lb by then, I know I'm only a couple of pounds short but i'm disappointed as it was an easy and achieveable goal but I've only lost 3.5lb in last 2 weeks and...

I've been going for 13 weeks now and have shifted almost 50lb so feeling good! Only thing is last couple of days I've gained a half pound every day! I'm now 3lb heavier than my weigh in last week!!..... Why??? I'm not doing anything differently, In fact, I'm sole sourcig perfectly. It's not...

Why don't you try 790 then? Packs plus a small low carb meal. My losses haven't really changed since moving from SS to 790. I feel like a normal person now as I can have milk in my coffee again! YAY!!

I was similar to you. I lost 9 in the first week, 5 in the 2nd but then it slowed to 1.5 or 2lb for the next 4weeks. I was devastated, wanted to give up! :( Then it suddenly took off during my AAM week and I lost 4.5, then 5.5, then 4 again, so a stone in 3 weeks. It's kept pretty speedy since...

My counsellor said it wasn't too safe to exercise if on SS (which I was thrilled to hear!) as it's the glycogen in our muscles that repairs them after we exercise. If SSing we have no glycogen, therefore, we can wear down lean muscle and the body has no way of repairing it. I would love to...

.... Virtual Models? It''s a site www.mvm.com where you can personalise a virtual model to look like you and then take it shopping into H&M etc to see how clothes will look on you. I made one. Don't take it shopping but it's a great tool at seeing how you look in your underwear!!.... So...

I will only drink my Chocolate and Choc mint hot from my KENWOOD Frothie.... yummy!

I know i've said this before but the only way to do it is with a KENWOOD FROTHIE my CD recommended it and ive not looked back! There's nothing like a huge hot frothie chocolate or choc mint pack or a cold tall frothie one with ice. I put ice in the machine (about 2/3 cubes) and it manages to...

My counsellor recommended I buy a Kenwood frothie machine..... best advise ever! don't know what I'd do without it. I love my packs hot and frothie if i want to feel full for longer. I add a tablet sweetner for extra sweetness. It makes them cold too and you can throw a bit of ice in to thicken...

I had to wait one week. Can't be without the regular chocolate ones, they remind me of the bottom bit of a mars bar. First time I tried one I gagged my way through it, now I LOVE them! I buy some other flavours so I have variation but I get excited everytime I know it''s a 'chocolate' night! I...

Chocolate would be my next port of call too! Just worried that the "this one doesn't count" would lead to many more "this won't count!" senarios. Deceiving myself is how i got into this mess! :(

No it's definitely the take away kind. After all it is only grilled chicken, pickled cabbage and lettuce. Just don't eat any onion or chilli/garlic sauce. I'm not strong enough to try it though. The taste would snowball me into the binge of my life I think!!

Just checked my journal. Day 1-3 fainting, starvig, horrendous! Day 4 a little better but still hungry Day 5 felt like I had the flu, generally rotten Day 6 and 7 feel brighter but hungry if i leave it too long between packs Week 2: Much easier an not hungry much. I'm now on Week 5. It's my...

I had a little peak. Your girls are sooo GORGEOUS! Praying for you and Peter x

That's me...me....ME! I feel exactly like that. Not weak and hungry just generally not with it, can't focus, concentrate etc. Mind is just not sharp at the moment.....have a weird floating feeling!

Chapel House (West Side). Mine's Isobel. Please dont eat or give in you can do it. After this where else do we have to go?.... this is it, our last chance for happiness. As Thomas Eddison said "Many people fail because they didn't know how close they really were to suceeding!" We're close...

Where in Newcastle are you? Who's your counsellor? I'm in Newcastle.... Maybe really close x

What we can add to chicken on our AAM week for flavour? Herbs/spices?? Would text my counsellor but I do that a lot so I thought i'd ask you wonderful people and give her a break. T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U :eat:

Thanks guys, really appreciate it! Gonna have a mint choc mousse xx

I'm a couple of days into my third week and so far i've been fine, lost 10lb the first week and 5lb the second but today I just feel a bit fed up of it all, even had a cry! :cry Think I'm just overwhelmed by the fact i'm at the beginning and I have months ahead of me! Wish I could just go to...

WW doesn't really work for me unless I'm pregnant! I've had 3 babies in 3 and half years and each time I think my metabolism just accelerated as it's the only time in my life I was enjoying food (within reasonable limits) and loosing weight, My brother is a doctor and said low carbing is ok as...

Yep, I'm in. I'm at the beginning of my diet so still feel really motivated but exercise hasn't even had a look in yet so will be good, I'd like to go out for an early walk leaving my hubby and three little angels in bed!

Thanks Guys, gonna give it a little try! See you tomorrow Isobel xx

I've been reading a couple of your blogs and it looks like you drink Coke Zero because it's malic acid not citric. Do you stay in Ketosis? and if yes how much is too much? I was a 2ltr a day diet coke girl before I started CD. My body doesn't know what's hit it suddenly having all this water so...

Thanks Stacey. Nice to meet you too and you're so close, I'm a Sunderland girl myself although now live in Newcastle and love it! ;) Think you're right if I give it time it'll catch up....hopefully! Deb

Really? Same is happening to me. Stuck to it religiously, drinking about 4lts. Lost 10lb first week but this second week is easy diet wise but weight wise feel gutted! Scales haven't shifted at all and only 2 days left to go till CDC weigh in. Will be absolutely heart broken if stayed the same...
