    Hello! Thanks Jules, its appreciated. I went away for a while at the weekend but did ok. Had my weigh in and I lost 15lbs in the week so I'm well pleased. How are you doing Maidmaz? Did you try the crisps? Have you had your weigh in?

    been advised by the doc to come off diet whilst i get better

    I agree, some Dr's think they are all bad. Although I did see a locum once who had done Lighterlife and whipped out her before and after photos to show me! Can you try and eat low carb so when you start again it won't be too much of a shock and also you should continue to lose.

    If you think that you can get straight back on it then go for it. However it is soooo hard to start again when you have a break. I had a weekend off in September and its taken me eight months to get back into the zone. (I have no willpower though!) x

    HONK! Day 5. Well done for staying 100% everybody :D
  106. Chika

    At what stage and why...

    Normally I have my hiccups in the first couple of days before ketosis starts. I'm starving, go and have a nibble and never quite manage to get going properly. I'll have a half hearted couple of weeks until invevitably I'll have a week where I won't lose anything. That makes me think, "why...

    Sneaky Mid Week Weigh-Ins...

    I weigh daily, I figure if I would have done that when I was gaining weight I would have never ever let myself get to this size.
  108. Chika

    Why did I worry?????

    Amazing work Sarah! That is a fab loss. I've just had a look at your losses and I'm soooo impressed. You will be a 12 in no time.

    Amazing, I'd so impressed. 11lb and not even a whole week :D

    What a waste of a shake

    Nope not yet - I'll have a go at it later and report if it's a success.

    Well done, I'm looking forward to seeing how you have done.
  113. Chika

    What a waste of a shake

    I used to have muffins all the time when on Cambridge but I felt a bit cheated of a meal so stopped them. Now i had a bit of a brainwave the other earlier. Do you think if I made up a shake and chucked it in an ice cream maker it would create ice cream? I'm contemplating it!

    What will you do when you get to goal

    Like you, I want to go riding. I used to love it when I was younger/thinner but now if I went near a horse someone would call the rspca! Apart from that a long beach holiday with a suitcase containing little more than bikinis and sun lotion. Cannot wait!
  128. Chika

    a bonus ?!

    I had similar when on CD - I think it's because you are getting 100% of all the vits and minerals you need plus all that magic water!

    Does anyone look at old "thin" photos of themselves...

    I've never been thin or so I thought. I was looking through pictures from just a couple of years ago and some from my teens when I thought I was enormous and I looked fine. I just wish I could have appreciated myself and my body a bit more then.

    Green tea .. what does it taste like ?

    Oooh while I remember - If i was making a hot shake then I'd make it with green tea. Just brew the tea as normal and use it to make the shake. It means you can get more of it down even if you don't like the taste.
  133. Chika

    I am starting my own meal replacement plan

    Good luck Channy! I'm going to start at the end of the month too. Just reading up on the info so I'm prepared! xx

    I love your before and after pictures love, you look fabulous! I understand about being tired all the time. I started my first teaching job recently and it knocked me for six.
  135. Chika

    Green tea .. what does it taste like ?

    It totally depends on the brand imho some are rank (talking about the clipper one here!) I think the best one taste wise is green dragon from H&B. It's quite fresh tasting and not as bitter as some of the other kinds.

    Just had a random thought, you could get one of these https://www.severndiy.co.uk/product_info.php?language=en&products_id=3992 I used to work in an office with a lady who would whisk her shakes up with these. She just kept it in her bag as she didn't like tetras. You can get cheaper ones but...
  160. Chika

    What do you do if you're out ALL day?

    Sports shakers are good - I used to take on to school when I was on teaching practice - just make sure you only use cold water in them... Otherwise can you get some tetras? I don't think that 2 bars would be a big problem though.
  161. Chika

    How quickly can you get into Ketosis?

    It can sometimes be less than three days - I've managed it in about 36 hours before, it just depends how much glycogen you have stored. Good luck

    Stokegal, They had them in my old gym. The PT's didn't think much of them and to be honest its a really bizzare sensation, you can feel your teeth rattling and it you try and talk your voice vibrates! I never used one long enough to see a difference cos I couldn't stand the feeling.

    Slimming world newbie and vegan - is it possible?

    Hiya, thanks for that. You have put my mind at rest. I would have done WW but I really cannot abide the woman and there is a Slimming World meeting tonight so I might as well go while I'm still motivated. Wish me luck :-)

    Slimming world newbie and vegan - is it possible?

    Hi everyone. I used to do Cambridge but I've become a vegan and don't really want to start drinking milk again. Does anyone know if slimming world would work for me? I am losing weight quite steadily but I like the thought of having a group around to support me in doing it. Any advice? Chika

    Anyone in Manchester?

    I'm in Manchester and have had three CDC's here. If you can get to Cheadle Caroline R is amazing.

    Why can't we have all bars?

    Oh god don't eat more than one bar - When I got bold and decided to have two in a day i thought there was a tornado going on in my stomach. To the point that I broke wind and my housemate who lives downstairs at the other side of our house (which is massive) heard it and thought it someone was...

    why do so called friends want to ruin my diet

    Hi there. Your friends probably just feel a little threatened. If they are overweight then they may be feeling a little jealous of your determination and the fact that you are doing someing to get fit and fabulous. If they are skinny then perhaps they are also feeling threatened. I've had a...

    HELP!!!

    Hi there. Congrats on your anniversary. If you really can't stick to ss then try and have an AAM style meal. Something like chicken or white fish with veg. Ask the chef not to sue too much oil and you will be fine and tbh it shouldn't affect your losses too much. How are you getting on...

    Weighed myself today

    Kimmie you will be fine duck - I started at 24.4 and once you start its incerdible how quickly it dissapears. My CDC's CDC lost 11st in 7 months!!!

    Shakes/Soups ect

    Hi there, no you can have whatever flavours you want so just get a mix of them and see what you like the best. HTH! x
  238. Chika

    Insult or compliment?

    I don't think he meant it to be insulting duck. She has got dark hair with a fringe so he was probably just referring to her hairstyle not her size. DF is always quite nicely dressed and made up anyway, if he was going to be really insulting he could have come up with someone worse than her -...

    NEW TO CD!

    There is no way on earth that you can put weight on after doing SS 100% after a week. there might be the odd story around of people who have put on a lb but don't worry about it duck. You will be fine xx

    NEW TO CD!

    Hiya duck. yeah at uni, its my second time round tho, I messed about and partied too much the first time! I know its impossible to diet around my uni mates. they do nothing but eat chips and cake all day and are still a size 8. I wish I could do that.
  244. Chika

    NEW TO CD!

    Thanks, yeah the longer you do it the easier it gets. I just have to avoid temptation. I'm trying not to go out otherwise i'll drink and then eat a kebab or some other 4am grim food. My uni mates are not happy though! Semi - tetras are ready made shakes that come in little cartons like...

    Becoming a CD councellor

    Hi Shaz - don't be scared! I'm sure most CDC's are lovely. I've had two amazing ones who I would happily call my friends and not just people who i get my food from. Good luck - your pics are fabulous btw, what an incredible difference.
  246. Chika

    NEW TO CD!

    Hi Semi Skimmed I know this site is too addictive. I have a pile of uni work to do that is almost as tall as me but I have no motivation. I am the quees of procrastination at the moment. My fave shakes are the tetras but If I have to have a regular powdered shake then I quite like the...

    Becoming a CD councellor

    Gosh Mamateddy as if she weighed you in front of other people! Can you find another counsillor? I'm sure that there are loads in London. My first CDC lived literally 10 seconds from my house but I never cliecked with her so I just changed to one that lived 25 miles away but she was AMAZING so...
  248. Chika

    Am BACK, but have Questions xx

    I know you didn't ask for a lecture but are you sure about doing this? I don't have children but I can imagine producing enough milk to feed a child on 600 calories a day isn't ideal for you. Please can you talk to a DR or CDC or somone who knows what you need nutritionally. Do you really think...
