scoffing is quite risky, i agree! i have a subscription to Delicious magazine (i luv it)...when i'm on cd/ss, hubby says my obsession with food programs and the mags is like food-porn! (pardon the expression) hehehehe:rolleyes: but really, it's true!

ok in all fairness though, i am a chef.baker by trade. but i thought i would have to abandon it, temporarily, while i was ssing just to avoid the temptation. But, once i was in ketosis, i just went ba(r)king-mad again!

i thought it was just me! when i'm well into ss'ing, i bake for britain! The hubby calls it "Eating By Proxy". Others must do the fatty and naughty eating for me.

oh...1 more thing... i did go to the concert in the end, i kept a barf-bag in my pocket just incase. no chance i was going to miss it! and of course, since i bought the tickets late, we had terrible seats. but i had no idea they were to be THE VERY LAST ROW, in the highest section, on the side...

Howdy! Ok. I've been away from mm for a few weeks. And ineffectively, i've been mostly off of cd/ss during this time as well. Even though i was having alot of problems keeping on the ss straight & narrow while i was here before, i decided i needed a break from the forum...needing to seriously...

Oh dear....these moments are very rare, but when they happen, it's like fighting back the worst foodie demon ever! i swear! hheheh well, it's 3:45 AM!!! the temp feels nice and cool outside but this house is so dang old, it's like a heat box so no matter how many fans we have going and...

Yo, Folks! Been away..well, not like holiday away. just lurking around a bit for a few days. I don't wanna jinx it, but i've been great with ss since my last blip. and i feel ok, just getting through the usual carb withdrawl headaches and cravings...in a couple more days i'll be right as rain...

Miss Tilly!! Wow! I can't believe how great you look & how much you've achieved! As far as wearing colour, it suits you brilliantly. I prefer to wear darker colours, even as i've dieting and losing the weight. But every once in a while, i'll see something on the rack and think: "oooh that's...

i'm feeling like such a failure (again) today. ok ok so it happens, we sometimes have naughty days, etc. but why the heck can't i just let myself get into ketosis ffs?!!! so yah, its been a naughty day. and i should really be asleep (it's 4something AM...it's a waking-in-the-night-kids...

:sigh2::sigh2::sigh2::sigh2: wow. i'm so gutted & shell shocked. farewell, fella.

All is going ok. nothing major to report! Just another fat girl in the race to not be so very...uhh..fat. heheheh kate, i bet it's the warmer weather we've been having...i mean, reasons why you're so tired lately? maybe? how's ss+ going for ya? MsJMC?? have we lost you along the way? hope...

oh, one more thing... earlier today, i made myself a "ticker" to keep on my fridge! i felt it was that time again, to repost reminders and visual incentives to keep me motivated. It's a little silly and looks very juvenile (i based it on The Very Hungry Caterpillar)...will take a photo of it and...

Kate, it sounds like your cdc is pretty down to earth and realistic about it all. Always a bonus. Evenin'! Howdy, from Muggy/Humid Wales! How have the last couple days gone for you? (this means you too Jmc!) i've been doing ok. i think keeping busy and out of the kitchen as much as possible...

hey there!! well done on yet, another (!!) losing week! i can only hope to properly be where you are in the ss world very soon! oh, and i'm loving the new FB pic!! wit wooo!! what an amazing difference! you hsould be really made up with yourself, hun. oh and get it on here, eh? show it off! ;)

thanks for all the encouragement, gals! Tilly, thanks for reminding me of my successful loss, the first time around. :rolleyes: Jmc, Good on you for resisting!!! And for hanging in there. :D Miss Kate, i thought you had abandoned us for a moment there! oh wait, i was away for a couple days as...

O...M....Gaaaw! Heaven! I had (for the first time ever, and i know i'm hella late on it but still...) the frozen tetra!!! I was in total heaven (i'm an ice cream freak so it was utter delight!) I will DEFINITELY be doing this more often... ok it's been a couple days since i've been here. Been...

oh nooo!! i totally forgot i put a tetra in the freezer yesterday! :eek: will it still be edible do ya think? (Jmc, thanks for reminding me :p) i did have a slight extra bit, but i accounted for it the best i could, earlier. i'm doing ok at the moment though. Keeping busy always helps! and i...

Stepping The Way To SS - Day 3 - 1000cals. morning afternoon! i nearly nearly had a slip this morning! oh deary me. ok so i know i'm allowed ...err...what's today? oh ya, 1000 cals for the day (of specifi types of foods). but while sorting out breakfast, and weighing out portions of whatever, i...

well done with all the losses!! woot woot! by the way, am i the only one that can't see the tickers in everyone's signature? i only see a link. ((same with mine as well))

morning bex! good luck with your WI! as for the meal-out with dp's family...i don't think you're being unreasonable, especially if you are only just starting/returning to CD. for me, the temptation to have "just a salad" or "a little bite" fuels the eating machine's fire! Perhaps paint a...

woot woot! we so can...once day at a time. ;)

tut tut! typical! heheheh i cant drink coffee or tea without the milk, so i dont even attempt to and i just settle for adding it to my 3 hot drinks. hows the day been for ya, work, diet, and otherwise??

what's a bite or two more of veg right? let me know if you notice a change in the weight shift cause i'll be curious to know if it effects it all. also, i'm such a coffee-head. there's NO way i could give it up. wanna know what i do? ibuy a jar of instant coffee. and i add some to pretty much...

you're probably right, kate..about staying on each plan longer than a day. but since i'm already here and going strong on this one, i'll stick to. now, if for whatever reason, then the best option will be to try it your suggested way. otherwise, i'm really doing well today. i have yet to start...

Reading through this thread, i was pretty much thinking the same as this reply above. I'm not one to faff about with words, i prefer to get to the point: don't "hate" your children for something minor like this. i can only say, if it was that sentimental, i for one would never have let anyone...

morning! ok, so day 1 of my restart/stepping into ss plan has come and gone. i was a little worried that i might not be able to stick to the 1500. but i made it through, and i felt pretty good about it. still do, really! today is a 1200cal day. i can already tell/feel the amount getting smaller...

hey K+M! i can imagine it to be total chaos this week, especially if computers/etc are down! :eek: Is the ss+ (i forget) like add-a-meal? also, have you done your add-a-meal week yet? Personally, i have avoided it this last time around. i remember the very first time i was on cd/ss, i had NO...

ohhh ya, it's a long posting. but maybe it's worth it? who can say? so far, today has been good. i've been writing down everythign i eat and tracking the calories. i have my dinner planned out and am taking an optional route, will have green veg and my one sachet of the day. i'm kinda looking...

Hiya tilly :D i think i recognize your face, but seeing as you've done soooo well it would make sense that i don't recognize any other bit of you in the photo! heheh well done on you massive loss so far! what name did you use before on minimins?

hey there, Jmc. here's the link to the thread "Beginning Sole Source the easier way....". http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-returners/21313-beginning-sole-source-easier-way.html go directly to the first entry and give it a read. dig out your yellow book you got from the cdc when you first...

Ok. i've weighed myself. It's the (re)start of CD. I've had a gain. but not tooooo terrible, i guess. Ok ok i lie, 7lbs. It's awful. :cry: But that's why i'm doing this...taking the initiative to get my act together. I'm excited, i feel good about this. I'm doing one stage per day, starting...

msjmc! morning hun. have you tried getting back into it the "sassy/mini" way? when i was on CD the last time, i read it and thought there's no way i could do anything like that...but saying that, i didn't really have any problems with committing to the diet and getting it done. but this...

if childbirth is easier than gallbladder/stones pain, i can only laugh at myself for being utterly terrified about the labour/delivery of my two boys! hehehehe. but i can only agree. the incredible pain and discomfort...i shiver thinking about it now. ((and to think, for the 24 hours BEFORE i...

as a Cd'er who's having sooo many issues with it at the moment & contemplating calling it a proper rererestart :p, reading about how well you're feeling today is helping with the positive mojo! so thanks! and well done on how great you feel. x

Hey Kate! thanks for the congrats on the bee bee. And for you to read my whole thread, you must be bored fo sho! ((ok ok ok so it's only like 3 pages :p)). as far as the yellow book, whatever is most convenient for you will be most most appreciated. but for the record, it's really only just a...

ok. It's official. I just can't seem to do this anymore. I want to. i really really do. I am in at least 3-4 different vicious circles of failure :mad: with CD/SS. "I'll eat anything and everything today and start clean tomorrow" "Oh, i nibble a little earlier, so the dieting day is ruined...

ok, i think my shift key is still on the fritz (not showing all the keys i type while using shift key)...so ignore all my typos...and fill in where necessary. please. :sigh:

I watched this last night...and i kinda knew it was going to be very speculative and annoying. and sure enough, i felt i wasted a good 45 minutes of my life on it. And i agree with you all, it's very "media-hyped" to get you scared and really, it's just something to fill air-time. As for...

Kazzzz!!! Wow, i'm sooo happy to see you here again! I, too, fell off the wagon and gained loads back on (much more than the 2 stone you put back on)...ok ok ok so i was pregnant and gave birth to an 11lb 4oz boy :eek: and i think my eating habits were to blame on that one... anyways, you will...

Ya know, i could just cut & paste most of this list and post it as my own...oh wait...i kinda just did. ;) thanks neptune. :o i've only jsut discovered this particular thread. not sure how long it's been here but today is probably the best day to read through it...for me anyways. i think i've...

i didn't think i'd come even remotely close to losing the 10 lbs as it's been an incredibly rocky month...no gains, but not an exteme lose like most CD/SS months can be. So with a few days left in the month, i'll reach the goal... well done to everyone for having any loss at all, regardless if...

hiya judith. i'll save you the trouble and let you know now, the cd products do have artificial sweeteners in them. there are other options for you with the soup flavours. is it any type of sweetener or a specific one you can't consume? i'm feeding the baby at the moment otherwise i'd get the...

Goood morning. (((Thanks, Slims!))) righty....so far so good. i've had my normal morning drink and i'm working on my first liter of water. this morning, i weighed myself and then stashed the scales away. I'd like to avoid weighing myself for a good week...maybe even 2!! ((i want to surprise...

good evening...just wanted to pop in before ending this horrible non-cd/ss day to say many thanks for the replies and posting. and since my posting about the issue, i've taken a dramatic turn for the worse. i've had an uncontrollable binge attack on several occasions since this afternoon and...

triple, in the beginning, i used the reference so many times of toby weighing pretty much the weight of twins...he's so adorable and bonnie now it's unreal! just took him in for his 3rd jabs and a weigh in...20.4lbs...at 20 weeks!! :eek: awww such a cuddler!

Pity Party... this is probably going to be kept very short as the tot or the beebee will be summoning me very soon wihtout fail, :family2: so i'll get straight to the point ;) ! ok this is my 2nd time around on CD/SS...why am i having such a hard time dropping the weight?!! ok the real...

hey chicken, ya thats my ticker with the starting date in early december. it's going so slow...it's giving me doubts and second thoughts. uggg! i need to google a bit of motivation i think. i just cant go a day without a bite of cheese or a slice of meat, it seems. where's my will power gone...

oh dear... and just like last time on cd/ss, the total opposite is following me around... urrrrgg, indeedy. xx

well, goood evening, Mrs paula! is it safe to say that i'm not the only one finding cd/ss much harder this time around? :17729: i cant seem to get through a full week without nibbling..but i try to stick to non-carb nibbling. but that just tricks the mind into making it "ok" to keep eating. and...

Hey there Jmc! very nice to hear from you. also, thanks for the kaz update. glad to hear she's doing well. :) yes yes, i'm back! well, really i've been back on CD since early December. just truggin along now. and it's been a bit harder this time around. nibbling here and there...occassionally...

Proxy... not sure if its the diet or just the festive time of year, but much like the last time i was on CD, i am baking up a storm! it's never for me of course, and i manage to avoid licking the spoon or tasting the final product. but it's just me, eating all the baked goods by proxy! i now...

along the same lines of tragedy, and not diet related at all ((just showing it isnt just "these crazy diets" that are the problem: just as the Wii was released, a local radio station in my hometown in california (sacramento) held a contest: Hold Your Wee For A Wii! Whoever held it the longest...

Week 1 Weigh In.. ok, official 1st-week weigh in this morning... result? 12 lbs down!!!! i found the week to be just fine. i know of the many challenges that are ahead of me. so i won't ever claim that this (or any) diet is 'easy breezy'. i have many many motivations and personal goals that...

First Week In Nearly Complete First off... i have a 9 weeks old and a 2 year old BOTH sleeping and yet I'm awake at this hour?!?! willingly?? oh dear, i have a feeling i may regret this later. I haven't been back to post at all through my first week of 'trials & tribulations'...the night...

...one more thing... ...my ticker reflects a short term goal for the sake of "mind trickery!" anything farther away than that, and i may just be setting myself up for failure. so baby steps it is!

Wow, I have returned to CD/SS! so far, i'm just trucking along through day one and it's all coming back to me in full force: constant weeing, jitters, fighting the 'grazing urge', etc etc. i'm doing well today. hey, is it possible to be kicked into ketosis on the first day? at the moment...

OOOoooOOO!! Alllooooo Huneee!! ((i know i can always message you on FB, but wanted to have a peep at my old pals on MM...and here you are!)) of course i had no idea that you even left mm:o. i'm in such awe at your success with CD! I am dreading stepping back on the scales when i do return...

cheers, sam! i can see that my eating is going a bit crazy. more so, tiny meals thru the day (i wouldnt even call them meals)...the nausea is at bay with a little something in my belly. going to the gym makes me feel better about my prego-eating , among other things. i can feel i'm gaining...

oh my gawww! how embarrassing! ok i realized i was procrastinating on posting here, giving y'all an update...but goodness!!! last posting 3 weeks ago? i should be ashamed of myself! well, all is going well on the prego front! i am in an early tired-stage...and i the queasiness has been present...

Helllloooooo! i've popped in to dust off the cobwebs from my dairy! Righty, where to begin...? ok, so i've been off CD for about 2 weeks now. WW online core plan for all of last week went well. the first week off CD, i seemed to hold on to my weight better than i thought i would do, only...

ooOOooo hiya sam! i wish you well on your SS restart! i have to say that i am a bit jealous. its funny though, when we were on SS it got to a point to where we were looking for the reasons to stop SS. but since we've stopped, we have only yearned for that rapid success once again! i've been...

hello hello!!!! hiya sam! so good to hear from you as always! and of course, no one has abandoned your diary so i'm sure once the others get a chance to catch up on MiniMins, they will be eager to contribute their 2 cents worth as well. soooo....still trucking along on WW, eh? ((ive joined...

Aloha!!!!! welcome back! i'd have to say a huge well done to you for only gaining 8lbs while away! i'm from california, myself, but living in wales (ya ya ya, i know what you're going to say/ask!)) hehehe anyways, i havent been home in a couple years and looking through your...

hello hello TF! i had been wondering about you! and its great to hear of your well being and to get your update. i think first, it goes without saying, you seem to have done a great job not gaining it all back! maintanence, i suspect, is going to be the most difficult part of it all. so you...

:party0023: well done!!!!! 8lbs your 1st week is fab!! and i agree, the water can really really feel like a chore at times but it passes. and if you still find it hard next week, perhaps you should talk to your CDC about water flavourings. it helps loads!!! if you keep up the excellent work...

hiya Ajoyner!! im so excited to hear of your first week results!! if you have been 100% SSing, then you are going to have a great loss! what time are you weighing in??

the feeling of fitting into smaller clothes from our pasts is such a great motivator. in fact, i went into evans last month and fit into a 16 skirt. i teared up...and everytime the size gets smaller, my eyes get wetter. the grin gets bigger. well done on fitting into the jacket. the hubby is...

i have to agree with kaz on the bacon.... there are times when my hubby will say he's not hungry. all i have to do is cook a bit of bacon, and suddenly he's ravenous. its hard to stay away, dont i know it. olol well done for keeping clear! also, as a chef, i have learned that the secret to...

welcome to CD, Ajoyner! as with most of us, we were fat and sooooo fed up with nothing working. i think just before i phoned my local CD counsellor, i did all the research on this diet...and in my head, i just knew that this was my time to get on a serious, fast diet...and stick to it. i was...

so getting back on track has gone well so far. monday was easier than i expected. WI day is usually the eating/snacking/binging day because i tend to get in the mind set that: "Hey, its monday. i can eat today and get back to SS tomorrow and have 6 days to lose a few lbs. piece of cake." but...

hiya paula, im happy that i am keeping you ammused AND inspired at the same time. ;) and you hit the nail right on the head with the WI issue...the thought process alone is what frightens me most: its dangerous, the mind games we play on ourselves! on another note, sorry to hear that your...
