You have dome well to get to 8 weeks & be bored lol I'm 3 weeks in & like that already but only because I'm limited on what I can eat.. That's good though that you didn't put on any weight. What have you done gone back to doing a few PP days or just the normal PP days & PV days

I have done mine but can't see the graph went to my home page & it just shows my ticker?

Ohhh must have read that Somewhere I made my own burgers yesterday I have some left over so il whack them on the BBQ

That's fab well done

Ohhhh no LOL I am fine now day 3 I struggled but over it now & really enjoying it. I just miss having something to dunk stuff in you can't beat some chicken & Mayo & it's stops it being so dry. Was just asking as I didn't want to be missing out if you could

Now I no thA Mayo/salad cream is a no unless there is a away to make your own I have seen no added salt or it may be no added sugar henzi ketchup is this allowed I'm sure I read on here somewhere people were having it?

I didn't think we were allowed sausages but see we are Which ones are the best to buy weight watchers ones or something? Also are you able to eat the whole pack? We have a street party & am fed up of chicken/burgers had a BBQ yesterday & just fancied some sausages?

Hmmmm I could see nothing at all that said reduced fat just 40kls or less or something light

And it's Dukan diet friendly?. Didn't realise we could use cornflower! I go onto the cruise stage tomorrow

My friend sent me a brownie recipe yesterday & said about the chocolate powder. I couldn't see any fat free coco powder/hot chocolate just options less than 40kls or Horlicks light???

I have a steak & sauce for 1 day & I was thinking chicken with leeks another day but with a sauce over it to stop it being dry. I know you can cook with alcohol has anyone managed to do a White wine type sauce?

9.5lbs on your 2nd week or 9.5lbs in total in 2 weeks

Thanks Becky il take a look. I was hoping it may have been ovulation or implantation spotting but 3 days in a row i don't think this is the case sadly :-(

Thanks KD for that info.. I have no idea what is going on with my & my cycle at the mo it is driving me mad & has got me wondering if doing this diet is messing with my cycle now?

I am asking this as i really do not know what is going on with me. TMI but i have been spotting for 3 days now. I don't think my period is due until at least the 30th May, going by how long my last cycle was. Since my surgery for fertily i have had cycle & it was normal, so for this one not...

Well done you

Lost 1lb - i bought some of that water flavouring berry. This is going to help me alot

Yep i heard/know the key is drinking lots of the water - so so hard though when you phsyically can no get it down you

How do i copy one of these sigs??

Your right it is alot of money - another reason why i wanted to do it, but that doesnt seem to keep me spured on So drinking this sparkling water kiwi & strawberry i should be fine, my CB consultant did say i could have this but give it a few days... I would love diet coke :lol:

Good luck for WI Gizzmo, i have this cold/flu bug so am really struggling

I was diagnoised with PCOS at 15, so 11 years ago. I was told back then i would never fall pregnant naturally & after 3 years of trying & being given clomid (the month that i was due to take it i fell pregnant) I lost that baby though & tried again & after 10 cycles fell again & i now almost...

Wow charley well done you what a amazing amount to lose in your first week Madferret - hmmmm bank holiday was not good for me, mine went like this Bank holiday friday - hen weekend in Bournemouth loads of food/drink Saturday night - out for a meal with hen party, chinese loads of drink...

Well done that is great

I only weigh once a week & that is through my CB consultant. I dont have scales in the house & nor would i as i would be tempted to jump on them every day

Good luck with whatever you decide I would say as well that excersise could be what is slowing up your weightloss

5lbs is not to bad, i would not worry about it, it will be off b4 you know it, prob in the first week if you stick to it 100% Thats what holidays are about, relaxing taking a break from everything holidays are about eating what you want :-)

How are you getting on SH??? WI for me tonight & i lost 6lbs :-) so un-expected i did not think it would be more than a few lbs (if that)

Charley no i am not WI-ing myself through the week just letting my CB diet consultant WI me. I lost 6lbs was so surprised but so, so pleased as well

WI for me tomorrow & i am not feeling hopeful at all :-( I have not stayed 100% on this plan this week but i blame TOTM & i have just felt hungry since saturday all the time... I don't feel any smaller or thinner :-(

Found it wow what a difference

I can't see any pictures when clicking on your album?

Well done that is great.. I am on week 1 but have cheated a little bit, bad i know & i regreted it but i just felt so hungry WI for me tomorrow & not feeling that hopeful

I am doing SS so we will be in the same baot all week. My friend is also doing it, he starts tomorrow as well although is doing 810. There is a stone between us exactley we are both 13lbs at the end so be intresting to see how quick we drop down the lbs & who gets where the fastest.

So it was bad a 4lb gain for me for 7 days off eating. I am starting off 1lb heavier than i did 3 weeks ago now. I am re-starting the whole thing, & im starting off at 11st 13. How did you get on SH

Thanks for that butt kicking SH Right tomorrow will be day 1, i am going to change the date i started i need to get on & do this. I am feeling awful so bloated & fat i really dont like feeling like this I am going to be so embaressed seeing my CB consultant next week. I didnt buy any shakes...

:-( i just cant do it i cant get motivated i have eaten again today & loads. The scales are going to hate me tomorrow aint no way it will be a maintain tomorrow, i can see & feel the weight gain I dont understand why i cant get back on track with it again. I literally now have had 7 days off...

Right back on it this morning after having loads of days off. I just fell off the CB wagon & could not get back on it :-( I know this week i will have def gained there is NO WAY i can get away with a maintain this week I feel all bloated as well. I have 7 week until my holiday now & nothing...

Def SH im all for motivating each other I shall be having my 1st shake in a mo, im dreading it as well, seems like ages ago i last had one my taste buds need to get use to the taste/texture of them again.

Well done

Well done :-)

Good luck for WI tomorrow & well done on resiting the tempations (i know it can be really hard)

Gosh i have been awful :-( i actually feel really ashamed at what i have eaten this weekend, well since Friday i just fell off the CB wagon. I am dreading WI on weds. I have 7 weeks now as well to my holiday so from this week i will stick to it & i have no events/plans going on so there is no...

So WI for me this morning which i was really dreading with eating the past 4 days Scales stayed the same :-) & so did my measurements so HAPPY DAYS am well chuffed with that Next week i am hoping for a good loss, i have a wedding on sat but im not going to worry to much about food & il get...

Well my weight & my measurements all stayed the same so im happy about that. I really thought i was going to have done some serious damage eating the past 4 days

Poor you i hope the toe heals up & isnt to painful Can i ask did you gain alot in the 4 weeks off the diet?

Morning everyone hope that we are all fine. How lovely is it out there. Am loving this weather we are having. Had my shake this morning, so i am back in the zone again. WI tomorrow for me which i am dreading & i know the scales are so going to go the wrong way :oops: I wish if anything they...

The wedding was great thanks SH No i did not stress about food, i left plenty on my plate as well as i was full. However that 1 day of eating food turnt into 3 days :doh: I am back on the shakes today though. Dreading WI like i would be tomorrow, & abit :doh: that i have another wedding on...

Good luck to you

:wave_cry: Hello all Well i had a great time at the wedding on saturday, i had my chicken korma :eating: left more than 1/2 of it as i just felt full & was listening to my stomach instead of carrying on & eating it for the sake of it. Sunday everyone then went out for a roast & i went along...

Water fills you up though, so drinking loads of water through the day must work the same??? I just have in my head extra calories Dont worry i wont think "sod" it done damage already il get back on track with it on sunday morning Thankyou so much to both of you for answering/sharing your...

Thanks SH that is very kind. I was hoping to lose these 37lbs (2st 9lbs) by the 10th June. Seems more & more unlikely now with these events getting in the way :break_diet::(

Really, see i was just not going to have anything all day tomorrow.. Just water. The meal is at 7pm, wedding at 5pm. I thought that by having my shake packs & also a meal i am consuiming more Kls i do not feel hungry at all anymore, so could easily go until 7pm without no food/shakes.. You...

How is that then?? I thought excersise was good for weight loss??

Sorry did not see the rest of your post I agree with you i would rather go for option 1 as well... I shall just have this meal, accept the damage coming, get back on it on sunday & stick to it 100% until WI & up til my next wedding. I shall be glad now when next weekend is over

So with being back on track & focused for 3 days i may come away with a limited damage... Do you think i should get out there running as well LOL

I WILL gain 100% :-( boohoooo **cry** i really didn't think it would be that bad, didnt think 1 meal could be mega calorific that it could make me gain so many lbs I am going with my partner he has ordered the same as we are not curry fans... I wonder if i get out running everyday if that will...

Yes i saw, did answer do you want to take a look!! :-)

Gahhhh what a nightmare. The thing with ordering ahead with weddings, i wont be able to change it will i as they plan ahead so they know who is having what??? Surfhunny - how long after the indian did you have weigh in.. What a PITA i have a wedding next weekend as well, i have chicken i think...

Tomorrow i have a wedding & there is indian on the menu, i am so worried, but i have to eat i have ordered my meal. I have ordered a korma.. I am not so worried being knocked out of ketosis but about gaining weight, lbs i would have lost, i dont want the scale numbers to go up I would have...

I am doing well Clara thanks for asking, day 4 & going well :-). I am getting the shakes down alot easier now. I am not hungry at all, no stomach rumbles HOWEVER tomorrow i have a wedding & there is indian on the menu, i am so worried, but i have to eat i have ordered my meal. I have ordered a...

Good luck

Jeez i didnt realise you could gain it as quick as that :-(

My goal is to be 9st, not sure what BMI that would put me at but i want to be around a BMI of 19

My consultant gave me some sticks to wee on ketosis sticks i guess I know you can buy them though, she gave me 4 but il buy a load

Wow well done you - you look fantastic

So day 3 now & am feeling so much better, i tested this morning & i am in ketosis :-)

I was on day 2 as well yesterday & felt awful, banging headache, hot & cold on & off sore throat i thought i was coming down with something Today though day 3 i feel fine, great actually, did a test this morning & i am in ketosis

Well done I am just starting day 3 today, felt awful yesterday but today am in ketosis

Same i feel i have no energy, i am really dreading the next shake feed time as well :(

Day 2 & i am feeling awful :-(

So day 1 is 100% done. I have done well. Day 1 under my belt. I have WI tomorrow which im dreading as the scales are going to lbs gained but that is my fault.... A headache hit me though about a hour ago.. Im trying to rember the water as well but dont think i have drank as much as i need

I had a tetra at 12 with hot water. It was ok like a hot chocolate that had gone wrong LOL

Good luck i am starting today as my day 1 just need to get through the whole day. I had a chocolate tetra at 12 i had it with hot water.

I shall look into this ask about it on weds at my next WI which is going to be awful & lbs will have been gained. I need to get a whole day under my belt. I knew though that i would not be able to have it until i had done 2 weeks of what im doing now

Do they come in mint flava?

I think that if i soon dont find one i like it will have to be the mint/choc one 3 x a day as that is the only one i seem to be able to drink most of 400ml though, why so much does it make it less strong or something.. I struggle to drink what i make up just over the 200ml mark let alone double...

No have not tried any of them hot, the one i seem to like the most at the mo is the mint/choc one thought that would be nice at night as a bedtime drink!!! I don't like coffee so i dont think id like the vanilla one like a lattie, i guess i should try it, dont knock it til you try it kind of...

What a brilliant motivation you have for your wedding. At the mo the mint/choc is the only one i seem to be able to drink.. Although 2 whole weeks on it not sure if i can do that.

All of those that take these shakes in a carton do you just shake & drink from a straw or put it in a glass?? Add more water??? Do you put them in the fridge to keep them cold or just drink them at normal temperture?

Why do you have the tetras? is it because it is already made for you & you dont have to mix it up. Just shove the carton in your bag & away you go?

I have tried this with a straw & it just seems to taste powdery. I thought that drinking it through a straw it would go quicker & i would see the glass amount go down (but it has not happened) When i had the mint one i thought that would taste nice in the evening as a hot drink.. Adding more...

;) I must admit that was the thought that crossed my mind when i first tasted a shake was that they were not like the Mcdonalds thick shakes or even Friji milkshakes LOL

I have had 1 of the soups leak & potatoe i think, & it was gross I got the tetras for work, i do promo work so thought them coming in a carton was easy for me than having to get water & shake it in a resturant or somewhere I am not allowed any of the flavoured water for 2 weeks

ME!!! I started this diet 5 days ago although am already struggling & as of yet have not managed 1 whole day as i just dont like the shakes. I have about 4st to lose to get me to my ultimate goal..

Wow well done you, that is a serious amount of weight to lose in such a short space of time really That is what i like & why i chose the CB diet.. I just wish i could gte on with it alot better than i am as i am struggling BIG TIME

Hi i was wondering if anyone had any advice, i can't be the only one that has struggled with this I thought i would start the CB diet as i have seen photos of people & know it works it is also the quickist thing to do to lose weight. I am going on holiday on 10th June so about 10 weeks & at...

Hi good luck with it all I started it on Thurs so i should be on day 5 now & well into it & well into ketosis but i am struggling big time & as of yet have not managed 1 day to get through all 3 shakes or the equvilent of 3 meals :-(
