I lost 4lbs this week, super happy!!! 9lbs in 5 weeks :D

Weighed in tonight, lost 1/2 pound, so back to 5lb loss. Really disappointed as thought I'd done a lot better and people can actually tell I've lost weight :confused: Guess it's inch loss rather than pounds. Gemx

Thank you, I weighed myself yesterday morning and was 3lb lighter than weigh in, so hoping it's another 2lbs!! Looking forward to next week's weigh in as I definately feel slimmer :-) Gemx

I'm hoping I can put it down to TOTM as I haven't been horrendously bad. I have been out for dinner on Friday and Saturday but only had a main course and no other syns all week. Plus ate fruit/yogurt the rest of the day Fri & Sat. :cry: Gemx

thank you, he is fabulous, so supportive no matter what I do or how many times I try to lose weight!! I'm confident this will be the successful time!!! xx

and I lost another 2.5lbs which is 5lbs in 2 weeks, I'm so pleased! I was in Rome from Saturday to Tuesday and so could have gone crazy with all the loveliness over there but I didn't and we walked miiiiiiilllllllleeeeesssssss!! Plus it was hot every day so I worked off the ice cream we did...

and I lost 2.5lbs! Really pleased as have found it really easy and so not like weight watchers!!!! how do I amend my ticker?!!! Gemx

thanks everyone for your lovely replies :D My aim is 10 stone but at the least 10st 7lbs so have over 2 stone to lose. Really enjoyed class, consultant is very energetic friendly and enthusiastic so feel good about returning!!!! We also have a lady who doesn't know what she's lost or how...

Hiya!! I'm originally from Kettering (not a million miles away!!) I'm 32!! how about you?? Gemx

well done on reaching your target, hope I'm saying the same in a few months time - I joined last night!! Gemx

Thanks ladies :-)

Hi everyone, I'm going to join SW tomorrow, am quite nervous as it's the first time I've done this. (always used to do ww) I have at least 2 stone to lose and am hoping to lose 1 stone in time for Christmas - do you think that's doable?!! I've got fitness DVD's to do at home so hoping...

this is just what I needed to read, I've been trying to decide between SW & WW and you have just helped me massively. Well done on your FABULOUS loss, you look ruddy marvellous!!!!! Congratulations and I hope you spoil yourself with something fab!! Gemx

how about Shredded Wheat (the big ones!!) ?

Thanks everyone, hopefully I'll make the Tuesday evening class x

thanks Malaika :-)

Good idea, thanks allie x

Fab reply, thank you so much for taking the time to write so much :D I think the reason's I have failed before are because of the restrictions and point counting that have to be done with the other diets I do want sw to become a way of life and to not have to worry about what I'm eating...

I had decided to do the Cambridge Diet but am rethinking as it's so restrictive, I've heard lots of good things about SW, have seen the fab results in the magazine (bought one yesterday) and think it would be a better and more healthy way to go. I'm a serial yo-yo dieter, have done WW, CD...

yeah doing SS+ and drinking enough. have already contacted cdc and she thinks it could be my body getting used to the minerals etc. i've done this before and never felt ill. x

Hiya I'm tired, dizzy, tummy ache, sick, generally unwell !!!

I can't believe I still feel awful. I want to stop or just eat to make it go away :cry: Gemx

I've got the books, just trying to put together my first weeks menu, I want variety but not so it's costs a fortune!!! and I have some oats in the cupboard - I do love them!!!! Thanks :D

Thanks everyone Do you go to class or do it online? Gemx

Hi everyone I'm thinking of joining slimming world, trying to read up as much as poss, was hoping to get some recommendations from your good selves??! I'm currently doing weightwatchers but feeling quite demotivated by all the counting etc. thanks in advance :sign0009: Gemx

Is Diva around?

ooooooooooooooooooohhhhh, how do you do that???!!!! Gemx

Hiya, I've just tried your suggestion with the psyllium husks, sachet & 6fl oz warm water - it went REALLY thick and looked bloomin awful, it turned my stomach just looking at it so couldn't bring myself to try it!!! :sign0007: Gemx

Well done you, what a fantastic achievement. Yes you will lose the remaining few pounds in time for your wedding. Where are you getting married?? Gemx

I can't stomach fizzy water, reminds me of disprin when I was little!!!!! I drink a can of coke zero a day, would that make a difference? Gemx

Fabulous, thanks Mikki, can't wait for them to turn up now! hopefully tomorrow!! I'll let you know how I get on....that's if you want to know!!!!!!!!!!! lol Gemx

Thanks Mikki, that's great to know, do you use warm water? do you think it will work warm with strawberry or fruits of the forest flavour?!!!! Gemx

Thanks ladies, phew!!! I'm STILL struggling going to the 'loo' and have low energy so my CDC suggested checking ketosis. I've used the Fibre 89 with no success and am waiting for powder psyllium husks to arrive and give that a go. Don't want to do to the dr's as I'm guessing they will tell me...

My CDC has given me some to check whether I am in ketosis as my weight loss seems very slow. Have today (to cover last 2 weeks) and I've lost about 3lbs which is disappointing. So I've done the stick and it shows the second pink box which reads Faible 0.15 - so does this mean I am in ...

and there you go again!! more inspirational words!!! :superwoman: Gemx

Fantastic result, well done x

Carly I agree!! The new photo is fab, Porgeous you look Gorgeous! I think she has replied on all my posts and is always positive and gives great advice. Gemx

Hi everyone, Hope you are having a good Friday. I've just been reading through my CD book and was wondering whether you will do Sole Source until you reach goal or begin the other steps earlier on to build up to maintenance?? Thanks Gemx

Good luck with your return, I think this is my 4th!!! We know how successful it is so at least we know what we're letting ourselves in for!! Go for it! Gemx

I want icemoose to reply!!! I'm intrigued by his name too!!!! Mine is just an extension of my surname (rice) Gemx

it was the back that drew me to it, a picture in a magazine was from behind the model and I had a 'wow' moment! It was the only one for me!!! Here's me in it :o Not logged in Gemx

I had this is pale gold - it's SUCH a beautiful dress! MaggieSottero.com - Dress Detail - Porsha Gemx

I'm going to wear my gorgeous wedding dress again and get my wonderful Husband to take photo's!! We got married in December 2006, I did CD prior to the best day of my life and lost 2 stone in 9 weeks. Now I've put the weight back on and so on CD again!!! :o I've just gone through my wedding...

Thanks everyone! I'm hoping the remaining 28lbs goes as quick!!! Gemx

and I am soooooo bloomin happy!!!!! Only another 2 to go!!!! I feel really excited and can definately tell in my clothes etc. Can't wait for others to notice. My gorgeous hubby has said how proud he is of me!!! Gemx :D

I have no energy and when I do do something it exhausts me. I've just done the ironing and could with a sleep now! Do you think it's because I'm struggling to drink my water? The first time I did CD I was soooooo energetic I loved it. Gemx

At work I take 2 x 2ltr bottles and use a large glass which I top up - I can't refill a bottle at work I'd ending up probably spilling!!! At home I've got a 1ltr bottle at home that I refill from the tap - this seems the easiest as it's only 4 refills but still, I can't seem to get the last one...

The past 3 or 4 days I've really found it difficult to drink my water, I've got flavouring but even that's putting me off now! Any tips?? I'm only managing 3 litres a day and want it to be 4. Gemx

I love this version, it's in the film 50 First Dates Gemx

What's the best length of time to leave it??? Gemx :thankyou:

Where do you buy yours from? I've only seen the capsules in H&B. Gemx

I've lost 2.5lbs which although doesn't sound much, I am happy with! My CDC thinks that it's because of my 'toilet troubles' = water retention!! I've got some bars and will also have 2 lots of fibre 89 a day and see how I go. I will measure myself on Saturday again and I'm sure I'll have...

I have fibre 89 every morning and drink 4 litres of water a day Gemx

I've just 'been' and bled a little. :o I'm weighing in tomorrow so I can get some then! Gemx

Yeah I have too!!! I've looked on the net for cookery courses to do later in the year cause I want to improve, but they've all started!!!! I also want to buy Jamie Oliver's Jamie At Home book but I hardly use my other books so I daredn't!!! Maybe when I get to goal I'll ask for it as a present...

Thanks Michelle, I'm so glad my mind has changed cause last night I couldn't see a way forward. Amazing what some sleep can do!!! Gemx :thankyou:

After yesterday being beyond horrendous I ended up going to bed at 8:50pm cause I was soooo angry and emotional, had a few tears and was comforted by my H. This morning I feel better. I weighed myself and my scales say 12st 2, which means I've lost a stone - my CDC's scales are obviously...

I agree, you look really good in glasses and I love a man in glasses!!! ;)

You're a completely different person! Well done you x

including oven temperatures please x

How do you make crisps? including temps please x

Oh goodness today is awful. I'm not hungry or anything I just want food. I want to feel normal and be able to cook some nice meals and enjoy food like it supposed to be. I don't know what to do to get rid of the bad feelings. I feel so bloomin angry.

Fantastic, well done you! :talk017: Gemx

I tried the B&C soup - :sign0137: (I love these icons!!!!) Gemx

Thank you! I'm a bit worried about the soup as noone seems to like it but I'll give it a go!!! Gemx

Well done you!! That's fab :talk017: You deserve one of these!!!! Gemx

I've lost 7lbs!!!! I'm so happy!!!! :scale: I new I'd lost as my trousers and jeans feel better but wasn't sure how much!!! I've got a couple of different flavours to try today - vanilla, strawberry & brocolli cheese soup. Had the strawb just now and it was nice!!! Hope everyone else is ok...

I'll have a go then!!! :whoopass: Hahahah!!! that's good!!!! Gemx

Where do you get them from, there are some briliant ones on the threads!!! Gemx

Funky little icons!!! Where do you get them, there are some brilliant ones!!! Gemx

I'm looking forward to have lost, I don't think I'll mind how much it is as long as it's come off. I have no idea if Im in ketosis!!! Gemx

I'm on week 1, first weigh in tomorrow which I can't wait for. Positive's of today - my trousers feel looser already I've managed to drink 4 litres of water by 3.30pm, started at 8am :D I went the loo with no problems - sorry if that's too much info but when I did SS before I had MAJOR trouble...

Oh crap!! I bought some today :cry:

I'd really like some but do you have to wait a couple of weeks?? Gemx

When I say good luck I mean that they have been successful not that they're at the end of their journey on luck alone and not hard work.

Good luck to you too, when do you get weighed?? Gemx

What is your typical days menu like? Gemx

When I did CD the first time (Just before my wedding in December 2006), I found that the skinny girls were really supportive of the diet and were really encouraging. On the other hand, those that had 'issues' with their weight were not, they said it was wrong to do it and it wasn't sensible...

That must feel sooooooooooooo good!! Well done x

But still positive!! :D I've got a bad headache and a HORRIBLE taste in my mouth but it's bearable, thank goodness!! I'm glad I haven't got a busy weekend cause it means I can relax and get through the day quietly!! I didn't get up until lunch time today and then once up, my head starting...

Thanks, having been to my CDC today I have bought some of the fibre stuff, so I'll be using that Gemx

The last times I've been on CD I've had quite a problem with constipation, I'm starting again at the end of the week and would like to avoid this happening again. Any tips???? Thanks Gemx

I'll be starting again either end of this week or at the weekend! I supposed to be going out for dinner next week so need to think of a reason why I can't go now!!!! Any ideas? Gemx

Thank you everyone, your welcome & wishes mean a lot Gemx

Thank you! I MUST do it this time!!!

My school year are having a reunion at the end of May and I'd love to go, so looks like I have my focus to get back on with CD. I posted on Wednesday about not knowing whether to or not cause I failed a couple of times. My wonderful Husband has said he'll support me whatever I decide, my god I...

A CDC will be along in a bit and can give you some great advice. I do hope so x

I'm thinking of starting CD again - it will be the 3rd time. The first time I did it was a couple of months before my wedding in December 2006, I lost 2 stone in 9 weeks which I loved and felt amazing on my wedding day. After my honeymoon I tried again but I couldn't stick to it and gave up...

You're good! there's no way I'd be able to shop and cook for a family whilst doing CD, my husband can sort himself out which is a bonus for me! Gemx

Thanks for the reputation comment - whoever that was!!! - but we can't afford a holiday!!! Thanks anyway!

I do prefer SS as it's rigid and that's better for me, if I have to think about what to eat then I lose the plot!!!!!! Ahhhhhh Gemx

Yeah I did, my area isn't working! :mad: Im not too good on the phone so would rather not call :o Gemx

Is anyone on here local to Higham Ferrers? Either CDC or a CD-er!! Gemx

Thank you for all your lovely replies, very much appreciated, I'm looking forward to starting ww. Gemx

This is my second week on CD and all proving too much for me to handle. I've got problems in my family too and along with feeling incredibly anti social and alone I cannot stop thinking about food. I've talked to my H and I'm going to start weight watchers. I feel guilty about not sticking...

Hi everyone, thank you for your replies. I don't feel any better, my black cloud is still looming very large. I've been out today for a 9 mile bike ride around Grafham Waters with my DH and it was really good, but once home I feel rubbish again. Couldn't stay out in the sun too long as I have...

At the minute I think I'd feel better!

I am prone to feeling down. I was doing really well lately before this week, I really want some food sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly I don't know what to do :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: Gemx

If you know the Harry Potter stories, I feel like a dementor has got hold of me = I feel like there is nothing positive to look forward to and so negative about everything. I don't know what to do to pull myself out of this, my emotions are sooo up and down and I really want to eat :cry: Gemx

Thanks guys that's great, I thought I was going to turn myself inside out this morning!!! Gemx

I am unfortunately constipated, what can I take? are the usual laxative's ok? I've tried the syllium husk things and they don't work!!!! Gemx

Hi guys, Got weighed today and I've lost 5.75lbs!!!! I'm really chuffed!!!!!! :D Gemx

Well done you, you look fantastic! I used to live in Kettering - live in Higham Ferrers now!! I'm hoping to restart CD next week, my CDC is in Corby, I'm hoping she'll email me back to say I can return to her!!!!!! Well done again, you should be really proud of yourself!! Gemx

Thank you ladies for your fab replies, I feel really excited to get back on the wagon!!!! I've emailed my lovely CDC, hope she has me back!!!! Here's to a (at least) 2 stone lost, want to get that good feeling back - next goal is Christmas (again)!!!!!!!!! Gemx

I lost 2 stone last November in time for my wedding and I felt FAB. Now I've put all that weight back and and I feel cr*p, so I need to start again. Not sure what family and friends will say, but I'm doing the right thing aren't I?????!!!!! Gemx :sigh:
