That's great well done

Wow we were going to have pork chops for tea, well I was until I saw how much fat there is, I'm having chicken. ive just had a tuna salad, can anyone recommend a salad dressing, it was dry as old boots

I've never used any of those shaky things, we shop at aldi so will see what they do that's the same

It does thanks. Cajun potatoes sound nice, have you the recipse?

Morning eveveryone i haven't been shopping this week yet, so breakfast was the same as yesterday. im struggling with ideas and what's good to eat, what teas do you generally have, I'm presuming meat and vegetables is good, was looking at pasta sauces in my cupboard and they all look ok too, so...

Well I've had a brilliant day, really pleased and day 1 is done, woohoo!

Well done on your loss so far! i have no tips as I have started today too, I'm a bit confused what I can eat but I'll get there

Just looked and I've got a packet of golden savoury rice, looking at the nutrition it looks like I can eat the whole pack, is that right?

It does sound delicious im going to raid the cupboard and see what I have, haven't been shopping as got the builders here and haven't been able to go shopping as normal on a monday

Aren't eggs high in fat though?

Yep well done, I have no idea! will have a good read. i have no idea what to have for lunch,

That would be brilliant, I've no idea how to add people though, I'm mummywooly, if you find me first lol

Well this is me, here I am at the age of 35( how did that happen) having been overweight all my life, starting my battle to be healthy and thin. i have a 10 month old daughter who is my world and a fantastic husband. im luckily to live in a beautiful village with miles and miles of riverside...

Well I've had enough of being fat, my doctor prescribed orlistat after me crying in an appointment. I picked it up about a month ago and I wanted to do a bit of planning before I started. i still don't have a clue what foods I should be eating apart from less that 4g fat per 100g. Today I...

Hi eveveryone well after doing a bit of reading on here, and paying a visit to my doctor yesterday when I burst into tears about my weight, I will be starting on orlistat hopefully next week. I've got to go for a blood test on Thursday to check my liver is ok, then will be starting. Ive got...

That's good then, thank you for your replies

Why you have to drink your milkshake when you have made it within 15 minutes, only i made my shake then one of my collegues came in with her 2 week old baby and the shake got sidetracked? thanks

Bless him, mine is doing that too to stop all temptation

2 pounds is a really good loss, just go and pick up a bag of sugar and you will see how much it is

pistol

No butter, and only 1 had the cheese slice on, i'm sure i could have done much worse Also i did a ketosis stick and it went pink, i can't remember but i think that means i am in is, is that right?

Angry (i'm fuming today!)

Hi there. I'm on day 2 so i know how you are feeling, i'm sat here reading everybody's diaries and they are really inspiritional. Just take 1 day at a time, i really thought i would struggle yesterday but it was fine. Day 1 will soon be over for you.

Well this is a restart for me, but i'm thinking of it as a new beginning I have just finished Day 1 on SS and it's been fine, haven't been tempted to eat at all, even when OH was cooking one of my favourite things it didn't bother me (too much!!) My cdc gave me a porridge to try and i have...

Hi everyone I was just wondering if doing the CD is recommended when you are trying to conceive,only we are trying for a baby but i desperatly need to lose some more weight. And if i get pregnant and don't find out straightaway, will the CD do any damage?

I am sat here with my mouth open, you have done so well i really hope you are so proud of yourself. I can't wait to see your pics, i bet the difference is just amazing. What an inspiration to us all

Hi Everyone I think this is my 4th restart but there you go Back on today, although i'm going to do it slightely different to last time, when my hubby is on earlies and lates i'm going to have my three shakes plus meat and veg for tea then when he is on lates i will SS it, so one out of...

Good for you, we can do this, apart from missing food for a while which passes i have found it the easiest diet to follow there is just no thought involved. I'm on my works e-mail today, i'll PM you the address.

You are doing amazingly well, keep going. TOTM threw it for me, i wanted to and did eat everything in sight, i haven't been on the diet for over a week b ut am starting again tomorrow. If you want to buddy up let me know and we can support each other

Hi everyone I have been on CD for about 5 weeks and have lost 21 pounds but i have come to the conclusion that the diet isn't for me, so i am starting SW tomorrow. I understand that because of going from no food to eating again that i might gain in the first week but i'm prepared for that, I...

Well i am out of ketosis :-( i had some chips and some chocolate and i can honestly say i didn't enjoy them, and i felt really ill afterwards so it has taught me. I had a wobble this morning when i was giving up and going to join slimming world but it only lasted 5 minutes and i was having my...

What are you doing on in the day Nina? I think i just need a kick up the backside, i will get Dan to hide the scales when he wakes up. Last night, i weighed wasn't happy so went to bed and all i could think about was the scales, i got up twice more and weighed just to check, it can't be...

I weigh on Thursday night, i think i'm going to get hubby to hide them somewhere cause its getting silly. I just don't want to go Thursday and have not lost any weight it would be a nightmare. In my head i want to have lost for to get to 17 pounds but i'm just not sure if i will do it this week.

I don't feel that i have lost any weight this week, i've stuck to the diet 100% and have drunk a minimum of 3 litres every day. My trousers are hanging off me everyone at work are starting to laugh, and they are more baggier than they were last week. Also i think i'm becomming obsessed with...

I don't think there is any chance of me doing too much lol

My GP was very supportive about me going on this diet, infact she had mentioned it to me before. There was a book for doctors that my CDC gave me to take and they were really interested and showed no hesitation in signing the form. I would make an appointment as they may charge you to sign...

Its really spurred me on. I know hubby meant it in a nice way bless him lol Going to start a little bit of exercise this week i think, if not my boobs and stomach will be at my ankles when i am thin.

Came into work this morning to be told by at least 5 people how well i am looking at that i have lost weight, really made my day. Hubby said yesterday that he thinks my stomach looks tighter, when i asked him why he said my stretch marks aren't so stretched:p cheeky sod lol Feel really...

I think M & S are quite small, i have a pair of 28 trousers and they don't fit which is pissing me off but my 26 from simplybe are hanging off me There should be some set size for shops to go by

Thats such a lovely pub Do the sheringham shanty men still rehearse there on a Friday, theya re so funny, typical sea men. I've sung with them a few times.

Wow you look amazing. YOu have done so well, you must be very proud of yourself. I'm sure the last 12lbs will just drop off. I see you are in norfolk, who is your cdc?

Morning Everyone Lovely day here today, took the dog o the park and walked further than normal, have had my 1st shake and am heading toward my first 1.5 litres i would like to try and drink 4 today but i'll see how it goes. Have done all the housework downstairs while hubby is at work then we...

My friend calls me gillybean, some character in a book she read when she was little, and its sort of stuck.

I restarted Monday after nearly 2 weeks off, i got back into ketosis within 2 days and am finding it really easy so far. I know when i was off the diet i put about 2 pound on, but when i got on my scales this morning it says i have lost a STONE!! Obviously i'm not expecting this tonight as...

Wow that is amazing, well done, you are doing so well, just hope i can do the same Keep it up Do you have any before and during photos you could post to give us all some inspiration?

Well i'm restarting today after 2 weeks off. Have had some peppermint tea and black coffee and have just had my 2nd shake of the day. I usually aim to drink 1.5 litres while i'm at work as it gets embarassing keep nipping to the loo, and am halfway there, i will aim to drink 3 .5 litres a day...

Hi everyone!!! As you know from before i stopped SS because i had so much going on, some people didn't agree this was right but i don't give a stuff what they thought:) So all my things have been done and today i've re-started SS, am just about to e-mail my CDC to let her know. So i'm...

Thanks for your advice everyone. I'm going to have a couple of weeks off i think, i have 2 weddings and a leaving do so can't even think about dieting, but i will not be back to my old ways, i will be eating heathily and cutting down, somehow driking all the water just feels like normal now so...

Thanks for your advice everyone. I'm going to have a couple of weeks off i think, i have 2 weddings and a leaving do so can't even think about dieting, but i will not be back to my old ways, i will be eating heathily and cutting down, somehow driking all the water just feels like normal now so...

Well i have had a shake and am going to do the 1000 i desperately need to lose weight but need to have some food

Its not the sticking to it thats the problem i do enjoy the shakes but i miss food. I have always been full of energy and since i have been on SS i have hardly had any infact i've had a bath and in my PJ's by 7 and its just not like me. I need to have food, i know it sounds silly but its how i...

I'm really wondering about all this. I am really struggling on SS and wondering what to do, last night i was giving the whole thing up and i had a chinese which i didn't really enjoy I've got no energy, always tired, moody and so hungry even though i drinking 4 litres of water a day. I hate...

Yeah i measured and i have lost 51/2 inches all over which is fab my trousers keep fallin down too, its quite funny really right going to have a bath and chil out before bed, i haven't been home that long. Will speak to you tomorrow xx

yeah i know i told katie that i was taking her with me when i need to go, to say she was quite pleased was an understatement lol

what are you like lol yeah did grin a bit hehe

Well my first loss is 9 pounds!!

Well i'm going to stick to soule source as i've found it quite easy (apart from that friday lol) Will have the weekend off for the wedding but will be careful and then back on SS and it will be AAM week after that

Excellent sounds like you are getting there and well done for sticking to your diet i'm having 2 weeks of ss then off to sarahs wedding . I'm finding it so much easier, we went out for a meal tuesday for dans birthday and got straight back on it without missing food at all so really pleased...

Really chuffed wasn't expcting that much. Nina you're back i thought it was tomorrow, Missed you!!! Did you have a good time

Well even though i went out for a meal tuesday while on SS i still lost 9 pounds

Hi all Well the weather is a bit pants here again today not sunny at all just very windy I have my first weigh in tonight 10 days after starting SS although i did have my meal out so am not expecting to have lost the stone i thought i would, but still there is next week to do that. Have...

I had a meal out last night and i tested as soon as i got home and again this morning and i'm still in ketosis, so i'm sure you will be fine

Totally amazing, you have done bloody brilliantly. I might even print your pics out and stick them somewhere to spur me on

I can't not go, it's my hubbys birthday and there are about 10 of us going, i'm not sitting there with my shake. I know that it's not going to make me want food, i have learnt that i don't need it so i'll be straight back on SS tomorrow

I'm 8 days into my first go at SS and am doing really well, now it's hubbys birthday today so we are going to frankie and bennies tonight for a meal, i'm obviously going to be good but not sure which would be best to have Chicken ceaser salad with no dressing or crayfish tail salad Sorry if...

Can i join in too please!!

Hi All!! Another good day, i weighed this morning and i have now lost 12 pounds, 3 of them yesterday which is just amazing. I'm feeling really into this now and i'm so excited that i'm losing this weight so quickly, its fab. Don't have my weigh in until Thursday so i'm sure i will be just...

Wow you can really see this differece, keep it up!! Can i ask where you dress is from, i love it, i'm off to a wedding in a few weeks and it's the sort of thing i am looking for

I asked my CDC the very same thing this morning and she said to stop drinking about 5 hours before you weigh as the water you have drank could add 3 pounds to your weight. She said try and drink more in the morning and then carry on as normal after your weigh in.

Today is day 6 for me too. As you know i was really worried about the weekend with my husband eating but it didn't bother me, i didn't drink as much water yesterday as i should have done, it seems much easier to keep glugging away when i'm at work for some reason. Anyway felt really pleased...

Morning everyone Thank god yesterday is ove, it was horrible. But am on day five and have lost another pound so that makes half a stone since tuesday. I'm going to get showered in a min and then heading up town for lots of birthday cards and a tape measure, going to write it all down later...

That would be great, but we haven't got MSN but i would love an e-mail buddy, my e-mail is [email protected] How are you getting on so far?

on the right hand side of the uk map, there is a bit that goes round in like a arch on the side, that is norfolk i have no idea where wigan is lol

I'm in Norfolk on the east coast Yes did RFL is was 5k and i did it in just over an hour

yeah well it won't be till around easter i think, they had a big ball at the hilton in birmingham this year, february i think it was, i couldn' go though, we have sort of regional ones every now and again, and there are usually really good fun. Katie on there is a really good friend now we did...

i have no idea where you live Nina, you could be round the corner for all i know I loved planning my wedding, if you need any help give me a shout i can help with most things,

yeah i'm really enjoying it and there are 2 other ladies on CD so we try and encourage each other which is great. How is the wedding planning going?

i'm up and down the stairs all day cause there is only one upstairs loo near my office so i have to go downstairs all the time

maybe i'm hungry cause i'm on anti-biotics

dans at work so i'm on here and getwed although they all seem to be talking about food on there lol

how long have you been on SS?

thats really good to hear Karen. Are you off on your hols soon?

My husband has bee working on late shift this week so i have had no food smells in the house at all which made it a perfect week to start. However after this evening he is on earlies so will be at home, he is happy to cook his own stuff so that's fine, but i just know that the smell of it is...

the rest of the week has been really easy and in the thinking of it i've just had piece of chicken which compared to what i would normally eat in a week is fine, i just feel like i have let myself down

its about the same as a shake so i was thinking about not having it to make it okay

Day 4 today and have really struggled even though i'm in ketosis i feel like someone is ripping my insides out. I have been so hungry i nearly mugged my boss for his ham roll and lunch. On the way home i had to go to tesco to get some water cause the cleaners threw my bottles out that were...

I'm on day 4 and today i am finding it a bit hard. I am so hungry today even though i'm in ketosis, i've had my lunch and have been drinking water all morning and honestly could eat a horse. Just sitting here chewing the straw from my tetra

My friend told me about them the other day But with all this peeing, at work the upstairs loo is always busy so i have to keep going up and down the stairs so its helping with the loss

Keep going Nicola I'm on day 3 too but apart from a small piece of cheese i haven't really wanted anything which is a huge suprise to me cause i love food. If you want to help each other along the way just let me know

i know i was really suprised, have only just had my shake too feel so much better

Thanks everyone I am so pleased and i have found it much easier today, have usually had my shake as soon as i walk in the door but only now going to have it. I really hope it stays this easy its fab

My CDC told me to check Friday morning but i couldn't resist checking and the stick went pink, is there any particular pink before it means you are there And I sneeked on the scales this morning and i've lost between 5 and 6 pounds since tuesday I feel much more settled with it today and...

lol you are so funny Hope you keep with your sense of humour i think we are all going to enjoy it

These all sound wonderful, but i haven't got a microwave, am gutted

i love jelly, i haven't any mix a moose or water flavouring, if its free its worth a shot to fill the stomach

how much jelly does 1 spoon of moose make?

what do you mean pay the charge, don't they do that for you? Have you tried the jelly that might help stop the thundering in your belly

Wow that it such a difference, you have done so well i hope you are proud of yourself you should be!!

Hi Nina Have some more water than might help!! What cars can you choose from?

i've not decided whether to try the soup or not, there are mixed reviews on all flavours lol I think chewing gum is a no no and surely if you did have it the chewing woud make you want food or maybe thats just me lol My worst time is about 3 too, i just have some more water and it does the trick

Am i being stupid, can you eat jelly in additon to the shakes cause it's not a meal pack

Day 2 has been okay, have struggled to drink more water i have another litre to drink before bed then i will have had 3, i had delicious choc mint for tea. Its so nice to have people to share everything with, its fab and thank you so much

When is AAM week? Have to log off now but will be back on when i get home xx

Hi Luke Nice to see another newbie. I started yesterday and i can honestly say i have never been to the loo so many times in one day i must have gone about 50 times yesterday, it was the laugh of the day at work 'there she goes again' I have only drank just over a litre so far today...

Good luck Lisa i hope it goes well for you. And there is nothing wrong with spaniels ears i have a beautful cocker and i love his ears lol

It didn't make me want to nibble anything or eat anything apart from that, it did the trick. I know tonight that i need to drink more water, as i'm slacking on that department a bit today, have only drank a litre so far plus the extra with the smoothie this morning, i just feel really bad that...

Yes that's the one lol it did sound so much better than it tasted lol Claire Gayle is lovely, she is phoning me on saturday and where i am now working 2 of the other ladies are on it too so we are giving each other support, although one of them said cause i had that tiny piece of cheese last...

Well morning everyone!! I had the mose amazing nights sleep and woke up earlier and ready to get on with the day, i don't know if its the diet or because the sun has reared it's head So i have just had 2 pints of strawberry smoothie, it was very cold and really nice, think i might ged fed up...

I'm not that keen on cheese but just had to have some, NO MORE!! I'm still drinking water but have just put a bit of squash in to make it less boring, its sooo much better. Sounds like a pants day for you, i'm sure tomorrow will be better, just avoid the cakes

Sorry for all the questions Am i allowed to put a little bit of robinsons no added sugar squash into my water to make it a little bt more interesting, i don't like the flavoured powders from CD and am finding plain water a bit mundane

Hi Nina Where have you been lol Its been okay, not as hard as i thought although about 5 mins ago i just felt i had to nibble something so had a tiny piece of cheese:cry:, i know it was wrong and i didn't need it and fel really bad, i'm not even that keen on it, but it was the only thing all...

Claire Who is your CDC, i see Gayle Also where in Lynn do you live, we might be nearby and be able to support each other. I think i might weigh in the mornings i never used to weigh in the evenings not sure why i did tonight

The thing is i got on the scales and i have put 3lb on which i don't understand, obviously i have had more water intake in one day than i've had in my whole life but it just doesn't make sense

Thanks everyone I want to try them as i really do like soup, brocolli and cheese just sounds wrong so will give that a miss i think i'll try the vegetable or the chicken and mushroom Is it right that you can have 2 of these a day on top of your shakes?

What is it really like? I'm reading through posts and wondering if they are all on the manky side Which ones taste like they should?

As you know i am on day 1 If i get on the scales (i know it's naughty) should i have lost weight or will it take a few days to show the loss?

OMG!!! You can really see how much you have lost, and all that in 3 weeks, thank you for posting them i will keep looking at them to keep me going I'm going to take photos each week too to spur me on

Well i think i'm doing okay. Am feeling a bit hungry but i think its just in my head I had a proper shake for breakfast and made it up to 400ml of water, then had the tetra for lunch and have just had yummy chocolate mint for tea. I have never drunk so much water, i am on about 2 1/2 litres...

OMG you are all so wonderful, i wasn't expecting to come back to so many lovely messages, thank you all so much. I'm now going to post a day one report to let you all know how it's going, hope that is okay xxx
