Hey: Noodles to go are often found in poundland at 3 for £1. Personally I didnt really like them! Mugshots are ok, you can find these most places, I dont like them personally I have to say. "the nations noodles" are lower than pot noodles, I quite like the chip shop curry one I like ainsley...

I am now at target and off to Tennessee in the next couple of weeks. Do really want to maintain my figure and not look like a blob in a size 8 bikini by the end! Want to make sure I have "good" food but also do want to make sure that we try lots of authentic foods that we dont have here in...

Oh red, when I read this I really feel for you. One thing that really jumped out from your posting is that you could do with thinking about things in a different way , as some of the thoughts are a bit negative. or a positive way of thinking about it is that you havent given up, you are...

As I understand it Oxos have loads of salt in, and shouldnt be drunk as a drink full stop. I learned this on my A level Food & Nutrition, so apologies if its a few years out of date! This salt will also add to water retention so I wouldnt.

nah no chance of that just yet! Ive still got a little bit of flabbiness, so can defiantely keep on going!

definately inches i think. I weigh 10s 1 now, but once i join the gym, even if Im SSing, I know ill put on weight as i tighten up my muscles in arms & legs. I mean im nevwer going to look like a bodybuilder, but i would like my arms to be more definaed instead of "winglike" Im 10stone 1...

Well im here and still alive after yesterdays nightmare. I didnt have the extra chicken, but I did have a couple of cups opf tea with a dash of skimmed milk ( how I like it, practically black, but not entirely!) and a couple more spoonfuls of courgette, so I feel quite a lot better this...

I find it quite odd this water thing. I barely ever drank much water pre CD, now I can easily do 5 litres a day. i was v hungry yesterday adn did approx 9 litres of fluid, although some of that was sunshineorange/ mint tea/ normal tea. If i dont drink 4 , my mouth goes dry and claggy. I...

Im already splitting my packs, but thanks it was a good idea. no im on AAM, theres not really any differnece between AAM and 790 is there, its still only one lot of food. I just ate a couple of spoonfuls of cottage cheese, i dont feel any better and have a rising temparature - my face is...

im already on AAM. this is the problem. I dont think Ive lost anything over the past fortnight to be honest. :cry:

I just dont think I can take any more, Im so hungry. the bile has been burning my throat. Ive tried to sleep, but my belly is rumbling its causing me stitches in my side. I dont think its worth this, I really dont

Ok here I AM IN week 4. I have been on AAM continuously for 2 weeks to prepare for my holiday and deal with the inoculations. generally I was fine, feeling excellent. Had a v minor blip with totm, but i put a stop to it and powered on. Its been about 9 days since that happened. a couple...

Superb :) well done you!

OMG thats so brilliant!!!

2 and 3 were horrendous for me, I just wanted to give up completely. The only thing for it was to take to bed, and lie down and snuggle up, watch some telly, doze, flick through a mag, and just let time pass. If your day 3 is a weekend all the better, I had to have a day off sick from work :(

Lenny you are right I dont think it is, but certainly is on 790

I dont pay to see my CDC either.... Just for what I buy, obviously :)

I know exactly what you mean about having no hunger!! I have no idea how im going to cope on 790......

thats wicked Cute & Quirky! I know the feeling - I never feel hungry ( the first few days I did of course due to not limiting carbs enough) but now I feel utterly spectacular! WTG :D

Nicola Its 3 shakes plus the meal. To be honest with you, I have found the process of "eating" a bit more of a set back. On shakes only I was simply hardly ever in the kitchen, had nothing to do with shopping/ cooking for boyf or any of that business. It was just the shakes and me. Now on...

I was wondering the same I feel super duper on AAM, and I said no to going onto 790 as idont think I could fit the extra food in!

Hi hun Im doing AAM at the mo, due to the jabs I had to have today. As you know i dont have a lot to lose (only a stone I think as of today) so my CDC asked me if I wanted to go onto 790 instead. I said no at this stage as AAM is more than sufficient, in fact I feel a bit "too" full...

Cor Kaz where do you live! You must have the only sun of the dsay, grey and drizzly today here - but took the dog out for a long walk in the rain. had to be done! Im feeling really good - went to have my jabs at the GP, and they made me get weighed- 10s 5 now :D which is a 4lb loss ( I think)...

what abou garlic Powder?

can I have leeks or not?

Have you been having the shakes hot Lee? Im shivereing as the aircon in the office is on full belt, and also i have a bit of the shivers anyway ( not as bad as you tho) adn Ive just had my cappucino shake made with hot water which was nice and warming. :) Im going to buy some choc packs...

im on day 7 as well. After a very jittery 1st week ( is it worth it, is it the right thing to do etc. I am now firmly sorted as to what Im doing. I discussed with my cdc about the inoculations and she recommended AAM for now. So last night I had a bit of chicken with a couple of dry fried...

well Im feeling much better. I think water definately helps. Ive had half a shake so far and 2 litres, will keep on glugging. Had a half-bothered measure - lkost 3 inches off waist, 3 off hips, 2 off arms ( ish) Couldnt resist, I wanted to wait till tomorrow night when it will be a full week...

you could always take the printout of the history of CD to your GP, after all , apparently it was designed and created by drs to allow people to lose weight whilst having the right vits & minerals. I always take print offs to my GP, at the end of the day, they are only human and cant know...

thanks so much for this CDC :) Im on SS now going into my 2nd week on Tuesday. BUT I need my typhoid/ cholera and rabies tomorrow!! Could you advise what I need to do next?

Hi all sorry another question if there are any cdcs on board or anyone else who knows I have to have a raft of vaccinations as I am off to malawi in 6 weeks. Including hep A&B, typhoid, rabies, cholera, malaria and MMR. Will the fact that I am on the CD pose any issues with these...

Morning all Well im really really starving, thats how I feel!! I woke up hungry :( and my belly feels hot inside which says bile to me :( Im going to try and drink a liter of water and then see about having half my shake. Have to try and get to tescos today for some more peppermint tea...

theyve come back. Im wondering whether they might be linked to the orange sunshine drink ?

Hi there all IM on day 5 of SS on the CD. Im worried that for me, its not really the right diet, and that is could potentially do harm. Ive got a bmi of 29 and probably need to get to about 26. Started at being 11st 1 now 10.13 and would like to be no less than 9stone 5. So...

have you thrown up the contents of the packs? Clearly if you have you will have lost those vital vits and minerals and this will certainly not help you get better. I am starting to think that drinking all this water isnt good, ( slam me now!) Ive been feeling rather sickie and was sick once...

Well Ive managed not to be sick, by falling asleep! I must be very weak...

hi all Ive got the worst hiccups known to man, been going on for over an hour. tried more water, its making me *heave* :wave_cry: Whats the story if i actually am sick, im certainly feeling like this might happen at some point today...

gilly, I ate 2 slices of Healthy living bacon on day 2, my legs were shaking like a marionette whole body jerking, there was nothing else for it. I was advised by my CDC that in future if i ever feel that ropey, I should eat either a bit of chicken or turkey or a few prawns. Im oging to...

i put my Other half on strict instructions to only eat things that I dont like- mince being the main one. so hes eating chilli & spag bol every night and he likes it and i couldnt care less. Im dreading him making a round of toast tho....

I was told yes to sweeteners, but only in tablet form not the jarred granulated variety :) thank god for small mercies eh!

4 litres for me too today so far, will probably creep to 5 by the end of the day

well the thing is nic, i refuse to accept that it can be worse than my day 2. It just cant. I wont let it! if i feel rough, its the weekend, Im tucking myself up in bed with my tetras and a couple of trash-mags and sleeping it off! It reminds me a bit of jet lag, which theres nothing...

Hey Karion :D Do you know what the official line is on peppermint tea?

Do stick with it. I felt ok on the 1st day, shocking as hell on day 2, not that bad yesterday afternoon, brilliant last night and fine today. ( day 4) Apparently day 5 is the worst accoding to my cdc, thankgod its on the weekend :D

Absolutely, thats what she said. I did think at the time, "big wow!!" as Im not that keen on them. however, with a sweetex in and the lack of any other alternatives LOL, they are pretty nice! :cool: She said that we cant have any fruit teas as obviously they will contain some fructose, but any...

I found peppermint tea really staved off the hunger yesterday. Ive got my mint choc shake for "lunch" and im going to do it in 2 halves as I have to go and see a mate in hospital on the way home, so wont get in till later, so better stave it off. Im waiting for the lunch time rush to calm...

Just wanted to get a bit more involved really and say big hello to all those on day 4? Maybe we should check in with each other daily? I know Nicola444 is - how aRE YOU doing today Nicola, hope you are feeling a bit stronger :) Update from my end is that splitting the packs is definately...

just stick a tetra in the freezer - voila! Dont do as I did last night tho, and wait until you are really ready for it, then get it out of the freezer! It took me about an hour to finish it chipping away at the frozen block with a knife LOL. and when I think how quickly Ive wolfed calories...

hahaha luke didnt you start on Tuesday as well. I must have nerves of steel Ive watched 2 cookery progs since starting and I dont feel bothered. :-) Im sure this will pass tho! Im feeling quite strange actually, I was just doing some washing up and having a little dance to myself then...

I quite fancy 790.... but I worry I might not be disciplined enough for it yet?

nicola- how true. I was thinking about this myself yesterday, I was all at sea. ( on day 2) Usually, I get up in the morning then tackle sme of last nights washing up, there wasnt any to do as my partner did it all as I crashed out early doors on day 1. then at work, being so bored i...

I agree with Mike that the amount of fat present in Atkins cant be "healthy" but I am re-reading my atkins book at the mo, and there is nothing to suggest that you HAVE to eat the fat they suggest. in fact last time I did atkins I struggled to eat anything by day 3, and fryng steak mushrooms...

tell you what nicola, shall we keep each other on the right track? if you bin the crumpets, Ill give the rest of the bacon to the dog.??

Im an emotional eater too, boredom is my reason grrrrr Im chronically underworked at work, and literally sit there all day ding nothing so the newsagent inevitably calls my name.... ONe therapy that muight be worth looking into is cognitive bahavioural therapy. I recommend a book by...

I sympathise with you nicola. Im on day 3 too. I snapped last night and ate 2 bits of healthy living bacon ( no visible fat) grilled to death. Im not missing food, but I just wish i wasnt so blo--y hungry. I had to phone in sick today cos I was feeling so wobbly I needed OH toscrape...

I started yesterday as well. Blimey yesterday i felt pretty ropey, slushing with water, and starving hungry. I nealry snapped so many times, but CD for me is about the willpower more than anything. however, I feel way better today, hopefully will be able to cope till the end of the day...
