    Toying with the idea of doing CD again!

    I have the exact same problem. I really want to do the diet but all the shakes and soups on Cd and Exante make me gag :( the CDC I saw wouldn't let me just have 3 bars a day either! X

    I Wanna Be A Loser :)

    I have tried the tetras too and don't like them either! Was blending them with a blender. Managed to contact her and I am getting a refund for the ones I haven't used. I'm just going to have to go back to celebrity slim since they're the only shakes I seem to be able to stomach. Disappointed...

    I Wanna Be A Loser :)

    Ive tried a few different flavours now and really can't stomach any of them :( does anyone know if you can get a refund on the ones you haven't used? I don't think I can carry on - it's a struggle to even finish the packs without feeling sick :( so disappointed xxxx

    Where have you been hiding?!

    That's amazing you must feel so good about it! My initial goal is 12 stone 10 by Christmas then I'll decide where to go from there! I'm feeling quite positive! Just had my first shake - butterscotch. It ended up a bit lumpy and made me feel a bit sick but I managed it. I think if it was less...

    Where have you been hiding?!

    Yeah it went well - my CDC was really nice and helpful with all my questions. Not too expensive either, £42 for a week! Compared with what I used to spend it's amazing!! Very motivated and hope to match your success by next Saturday. I hope to be close to target by Christmas! What's your...

    Where have you been hiding?!

    Hiya Stacey. I found your thread :) I wholeheartedly agree on BMIs. As you know I'm 5ft 10 and I have a large body frame/bone structure but my bmi range is 9stone 10 - 12stone 10. I reckon on 9 stone 10 I'd be literally fading away! Although you do see people like Abbey Clancey at the same...

    Hi everyone! I've been lurking and posting here (and researching CD to death) for a while whilst following Celebrity Slim. I am now able to start CD so thought I would begin a diary! After a 25 minute battle with my doctor this morning, I finally managed to get the form signed and have my...

    Cerulean's Maintenance Diary - 20 wks of SSing - Maintaining since 25/07/11

    Just to add, I have no problem with people posting on sections of the forum that don't directly relate to their diet. However, most people that do the above cause absolutely no problems or upset people. The only reason I referred to this is because if this person has such a 'problem' with VLCD...

    Cerulean's Maintenance Diary - 20 wks of SSing - Maintaining since 25/07/11

    The question I continue to ask myself is why someone who prefers a different diet to CD or indeed any VLCD continues to post on this section of the forums as opposed to the section relating to their current diet? The only reason I can think of is to be awkward, upsetting and get a reaction from...

    Celebrity Slim to Exante

    I am also currently on CS and want to change to a total VLCD as I find having the meal a faff also. I am tempted towards exante due to the cost however I'm not sure that I'll like the chocolate or banana shakes which is what makes me think Cambridge would be better as I could pick and choose...

    How much water do you drink a day? and do you think it help's?

    I drink 4 or 5 pint glasses of water a day (not sure what that is in litres?) plus herbal teas and occasional diet cokes. I've always drunk lots of fluids though so it's just been a case of changing the drink as opposed to the quantity! :) xx

    Has anyone had problems with bad breath? How bad is it? I just spoke to my mum about doing the diet and she doesn't seem to keen! She said the bad breath would be horrendous (someone from her work did it) and if I lost the weight that fast it would just pile back on.. Not what I wanted to hear!
