    Scared of starting 810; need some advice

    I guess I should come with a bit of a background story. I started cd over a year ago. I lost 6 stone in that year. Around October I got sick and tired of ss and decided to go on 810. I only did it for 2 weeks then I moved up the plans again. I slowly gained, also because I didn't stick to the...

    Yes, I'm at the same size that you are now and sometimes I try to squeeze into a 12. It fits, but it isn't half as comfy as some of my 14's or even 16's. It's frustrating, but then I compare it to when I started (a size 22) and I just have to realise I already lost a lot and that in no time the...

  111. Cartwoman

    The Sliminators - Team 5

    I think it has something to do with the salt in the food and things like that. What I've heard others say is just drinking lots of water and get back on the diet, that way you will have it gone very quickly. I'm not sure if you have to actually loose an extra 2lb, it could just be water.
  112. Cartwoman

    The Sliminators - Team 5

    Don't beat yourself up over it Dione, most of it is probably water that your body is holding now. Just get back onto your diet and it will go of quickly.

    SSing and Exercise (Walking)

    I started walking around 40-80 mins a day. I do have my rest days and I do notice I've become a little bit hungrier. However, I'm still loosing on ss, so I'm just continuing this form of excercise just so I get a bit fitter :)
  115. Cartwoman

    when to stop

    I talked it over with my cdc and she thinks it's best if I still loose another stone and a half and then move up to 810, slowly building up the plans so there's just 1 stone left from there on. And hopefully it will be gone by the time I can start eating 'normal' again, in a healthy way of course ;)

    Perhaps the running is making you more hungry then normal. You're burning more calories and 810 is still not a huge amount of calories. It could just be your body adjusting to less calories, since it's also burning. I'm sure you'll do great, but don't push yourself too far *hugs*

    My Diary...

    I agree with great things. It's still a fair bit until you're going on holiday, so I would just wait and go shopping about a week before you go. That way you know you're buying the right size :D Wish I could already fit into a size 12!

    Well done Eternalflame for not giving in and buying yourself some eggs ^^. We got some at work, but I gave them to my OH. I had my WI on Friday and I was happy with the result, now I'm just hoping that I can still loose a stone a month, that would mean that in 2 months I won't be classified as...

    Cartwoman's 2010 Start

    Day 57 Another Saturday and again I'm up rediculously early. I won't be drinking or eating anything until my 'lunch' at 10.30, otherwise I'll just get too hungry, best to stay in a half-a-sleep status for the beginning of the morning. Probably head of to bed early tonight ^^

    Feel like giving up.

    I know exactly how you feel. I'm having it today too. I'm wondering what the point is and I'm missing food and eating out with my friends. I think we all get through these days. It's not an easy diet, but praise yourself for doing it and sticking to it. Be proud of what you've reached so far :)

    Acceptable Cheating!

    Everything I do I discuss with my cdc. I chew chewing gum (sugarfree) but only when my mouth feels icky and I have a horrible tase in my mouth. It doesn't make me hungry luckily.

    Secret diary of a SMALL girl...to be

    Good one on pushing the binge mode aside and I get where you're coming from. At times I feel like having just 3 cd-meals and allowing no other food feels obsessive, but I only felt like that the first 3 weeks. After that it becomes second nature and you're not even thinking about food that much.

    Yup, I write it down here, but also in a special diary I have lying on my desk. That way I can look at the days that were hard and see that even then I could get past those and felt happier afterwards.

    Just take it day by day, it will get a lot easier and soon you won't even be thinking about it. I know it consumed my time in the first weeks, now I only plan what I'll be having each day and make sure I drink enough. That's all I do. And I'm sure you can loose lots in those 2 weeks!

    ..::Goodbye size 16::..

    Discuss doing ss+ with your cdc, it might make it easier for you :) I had my bars in the 3rd week too. I like them, but I only use them for days that I'm working, since it's difficult to make a nice shake or soup at work. Good luck!

    I find planning my meals difficult. It's also because my shiftpattern is so retarded. I normally get up around 9, then have a mousse around 11 or 12 and go to work.
