    WANTED - someone to kill my chatterbox!

    Last night I had Pizza, while on SS. I've been feeling hungry for ages now, and I've had pizza on the brain for days! I let my chatterbox win :sigh: How stupid am I. Nearly at the end of week 3 and I stuff my face :mad: So, now I have to get back into Ketosis. And if I suffer for it I only...

    Woohoo! It's been a year...

    Hi Mike - Wow, what an inspiration you are :) I'm so impressed that you have maitained your new look (from one who lost alot of weight on LL, then put it back on, by going back to my old ways) This time I WILL reach goal, and more importantly, stay there. Thanks for sharing your journey :D

    Gained 2lb's two days ago, and it's still there. why?

    Hi Bm2lm, I had a similar problem last week, but stuck with it and by the end of the week, I had lost 3 lbs. Don't despair, our weight fluctuates day to day - often due to water retention. I used to weigh every day. When the scales showed a loss, it was a great motivator to keep going...

    Out Of Date Tetras??????????

    I'm wouldn't have thought they'd make you ill. Just might be slightly lacking in vitamins. No worse than cooking a pack I shouldn't think. However, I wouldn't leave them too long!! (if you're ill don't blame me :o - I'm no expert - but I have had some out of date packs by mistake, and I was...

    My Diary - the Ups & Downs of the CD Diet

    Hi trini Wishing you loads of luck for SS. But it's not luck you need, but determination. Have a clear goal (make lists, have photo's whatever), have loads of distractions when you want food (paint your nails, have a bath, phone a friend, remake a list of your goals and acheivements so far) To...

    Ketostix-best time to test.....

    Hi, I don't think it makes any difference when you test- but you are bound to be a bit dehydrated (and therefore the ketones more concentrated) first thing - cos you haven't drunk anything for 8 hours. I'm not suggesting you up your water - 5L is plenty IMO I know myself, I feel really thirsty...

    1st Weigh in

    Oh, I hadn't thought of the shed - Thats a good idea. Not only will the cold put me off, but the spiders too!! I might do that myself if the thought of the batteries downstairs doesn't stop me. good luck Tiara - We can do this
  15. suki

    1st Weigh in

    Ok, the batteries are now downstairs in the Kitchen and the scales are in the bathroom. I'm hoping that I'll be too lazy in the mornings to go downstairs and get the batteries.... ... hmmm - it might work :confused:

    Same here!! But we can try!

    1st Weigh in

    That sounds like a good plan Tiara. I started the diet on a Saturday - so I will try my best not to weigh in before then. My CDC weighs me roughly every Tuesday or Wednesday and some weeks I won't be able to see her at all, so will get extra packs the week before. There are also lots of...

    1st Weigh in

    Hi Tiara Well done! 8lbs is FAB. What other diet have you ever done where you've lost that much in a week? You're doing great! I too weigh every day - which I think is a mistake. When the scales show a drop, it's a huge motivator, but when they stay the same, things get difficult. Also as others...

    Have to close my diary for nine months

    Congratulations on getting through day 1 pickle. Take it one day at a time (or minute by minute if necessary) You are lucky to have such a supportive husband.

    Stay strong Paz, you can do it. Just imagine all your colleagues getting fatter and fatter for every spoonful they eat.

    CD bars - palpitations - any CDC on line please help!!!

    Hungry! Help

    Hi all, Thanks for all your support and suggestions. I'm 5'7" and having 3 packs a day (except on two days when I had 1/2 a bar extra - maybe I shouldn't have done that :confused: ) I have so much to loose and this is the only way I can do it to get to goal for my long holiday to Oz in September...

    Help Me...I Gave in

    I think that's a difficult one to answer hun. I guess only time will tell. You didn't appear to eat too much so I'm sure the damage will be minimal. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
  28. suki

    Help Me...I Gave in

    You might have knocked yourself out of Ketosis, but you should get back to K quickly if you get straight back on the plan. Drinking plenty of water might help. Draw a line under your small blip, and don't let it become a slippery slope. You've done great so far - don't beat yourself up about it...

    Hungry! Help

    Hi all, I'm on day 13 of CD. First week went well and I lost weight. The last few days I have been really really hungry (actually feeling hungry - not just my head wanting something to eat). I haven't lost any weight in the last 5 days (infact the scales say I've put on a lb) I don't understand...

    When do you go into Ketosis?

    I normally get into ketosis towards the end of day 2, without a preparation week. But I guess everyone is different. So congrats on getting to ketosis Sonya. It should get easier from now :D
  36. suki

    I am soooooo chuffed with first WI

    Great loss bunnyg! It's a great incentive to keep going. I bet you notice the difference in your clothes too? Enjoy being a looser!

    How much did you lose in your 1st week?

    Well done bunnyg. I have about 8 stone to loose :( I had my weigh in yesterday, and I lost 16lbs. Feels good doesn't it?? :D :D

    Help - my Heart urts

    Hi Bunny, I don't want to alarm you, but if you have heart pain you should really see a doctor (sooner rather than later). Obviously I don't know anything else about you (age, medical history etc), but a check up would be worth while. If it's heart burn, it would helped by an ant-acid, like...
  39. suki

    Can I join you all????

    yep - 16lbs. I don't expect to loose that amount every week! I think most of it was water cos I do tend to retain water - probably because of the amount of crap food I ate. Although I've just started CD, I have done LL before (and stupidly put the weight back on, but thats another story). When I...

    Can I join you all????

    WeMITT - We Mean It This Time I just wanted to wish those starting this week good luck. I've just finished my first week. There's times that it's not easy. But stick with it, it DOES get better. And the results are worth the tough times! Enjoy being a looser!!

    2nd weigh in...

    Well done on a great loss. It's certainly a boost isn't it? Im not sure if you can carry on SS. (I only just started CD). I think you might need a note from your Doc to miss out AAM, but I'm sure some one here will have more info on that. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Bunnyg I'm pleased to hear that you are feeling well. I'm on day 3 and also feeling fine. I think you'll find that everyone is different in their physiacl side effects. But feeling well physically, certainly makes it easier to deal with the emotional demons that might hinder our progress...

    I know ages ago, that I read you can freeze tetras and they are a bit like ice cream. (I can't find a thread about it now). This is going to sound stupid but do you have to put the drink into another container first before you put it in the freezer? Presumably it expands as it freezes , I...

    Not lost anything since Friday

    Hi, When I did VLCD a couple of years ago, I used to weigh every day and record it. I found a pattern to my weight loss. I found that I would weigh the same for up to 4 or 5 days then loose a couple of pounds a day for the next couple of days. Sometimes I would stay the same day after day, then...

    When to have the first pack of the day?

    Hi all, I know it's always said that it doesn't matter what time of day you eat your packs. When eating conventional foods, it's always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, that breakfast kick starts your metabolism, that you shouldn't eat most of your days calories in...

    I need a kick up the backside!

    Hi mike, I have thought about that. But I pretty much know I would 'cheat'. Just like I've always done on conventional diets. "A little bit of this or that can't hurt ......"

    1ST week result on LL

    There is a post in the Cambride diet forum called "No CDC in the NI area can I get it from CDC off mainland? " It has information about finding a CDC. It might be worth a look. (sorry I'm not sure how to post 'links' but it should be easy enough to find)

    Considerations apart from weight?

    Powered journey - I imagine if you weigh more in the evening (which is due to water and food/shakes) and your fat levels stay the same (or drop) then the percentage of fat would decrease. This is an extreme example - In the morning you weigh 20 units. 10 of those units are fat, making the...

    Hair Loss Question
