Thanks for the info! :)

This is my first 2 days, can someone please tell me if im doing ok? It seems to easy! im not hungry at all.. and im 2lbs lighter this morning compared to yesterday. Wed. B: Hazelnut shake L: Veg Soup pack D: Chilli pack with cabbage Snack: S&S Praline bar Drinks... about 2L water, 1 coffee...

Anjuschka, I plan on doing cruise from today, and ill probably do that till xmas, with no treats!! and ill allow myself one days grace on xmas day only, but nothing over the top! Its also going to give me time to finish reading the book. I took advice regarding the mullers, I went on dukan...

Ok, just to clarify... I wasn't sticking to attack religiously, was just lowering my carbs but when it come to meal times I was trying to have dukan style meals. :P as of today there will be no cake, trust me! I thought fruit free muller lights were ok?

I know, but since I wasn't being a strict dukkaner to ease myself into it, I treat myself. Come the morning if its not on the list, it won't pass my lips!

Just wanted to ask for some advice really. This is what I've had to so fay over the last few days, I said I would do attack as much as poss over but over the first three days I allowed myself one cheat a day, just to allow my body time to adjust to fewer carbs, tomorrow is officially day 1 of 7...

Sorry my mistake.... its tablespoons! I think your right Sharon, I've been at work today and I didn't really feel to bad, but the minute I walked in the door I felt hungry! Im about to go out for a quick paced walk before it rains to get my exercise in for the day too. Dukan.co.uk says I only...

Im having the same problem... can I chip in with my food diary and see if anyone can help! lol Day 1 B: 2x Low fat yogs with 1 1/2 teaspoon oatbran L: Chicken breast, 2 eggs scrambled, low fat yog and a sugar free jelly D: 2x Tuna steaks and a can of pepsi max also had a few coffees with...

I work away a lot, and its a struggle! but a tesco/asda is a life line! When im away I have low fat vanilla yogs with oatbrand for breakfast. If your in a hotel you can maybe get an omelette or scrambled eggs easily, (I just lie and say i have dietary requirements so can you make them with just...

I'm air crew, so spend a lot of time at 35,000ft up in the air! its not so much being on the plane, its the being in hotels, In the past ive had to empty the mini bar and use it to chill all my stuff, then go and explain to the staff when I check out that my room bill isnt actually $200 as all...

Starting attack in the morning and planning my menu for the next 5 days. I work away for 5 days a week before coming home for 5 days and I dont always have access to chill food when im away and dont have a lot of options when I am away. Anyone got any suggestions of things I can take away...

Thanks guys!! sometimes something little like a chicken breast or an omelette (Without milk, ive been using just eggs and a little water anyway as I'm staying away from milk) with a few bits of ham usually helps but I always thought I was keeping myself out of ketosis. Just seen the sticky on...

Thanks guys... today was a lot better, although not 100% But tomorrow is a new day and i'll carry on. IF I do get desperate does anyone know what you can eat, I mean are omelettes ok? I find 3 packs and an omelette (plain) works fairly well but I'm not sure if it was stopping me going in...

Had a total wobbler yesterday and failed. Give in to temptation and had a gregs pasty (ok I had 2!!) feel rubbish now for giving in on day 4 after restarting after my holiday. I couldn't take my mind up last night if I should carry on or go onto WW propoints so had a plain omlette last night...

Thanks starlight!

Sorry for asking something that's already been posted but I'm using minimins app and not used to it yet. I'm re starting TS tomorro after a two week break holiday and was wondering what bars I can have again? Was it asda or biggest looser or something! Thanks guys

At first you wanna take it easy! Your body will need to adjust from eating normally to TS and doing 60 mins cardio will only make you more hungry as your body will already be craving ANYTHING lol Take it easy for a week or so, exante does recommend 20-30 mins light exercise a day, when you feel...

Those Ketostix are rubbish! when i did CD i was addicted to them, but ive thrown mine away, i was 100% for over 4 weeks and the sticks only showed me in ketosis twice!! and i lost over a stone in the 4 weeks so must have been in ketosis

I've been to Cuba endless amounts of times (really lucky with my job! lol) and I've never had a bad time there. At one point I'd go once a month at least for around 3-4 days at a time, I liked it that much Ive booked a few holidays there too. You'll have a fab time!

Thats what I was thinking, ill stick to it till the day I go, i will even try when im there.... i might try just having small breakfast, one exante shake and a meal on the night.. ill just have to take a list of what i can have and what i cant have. If it was somewhere else, we would have gone...

No...

Last time I did CD I lost 3 stone, to celebrate rather than coming off CD slowly and following the steps I booked 2 weeks AI in Cancun! ... Well, think I was 2 stone heavier before getting the plane home! Im 11 weeks into Exante and I've had a turbulant last 3 weeks to say the least, I havn't...

Just think though Ratty, the reason the body takes a few days to get into Ketosis is your using up all your supplies that you've stored already, since you've had 9 days without food, and just 2 sausages it shouldnt take you as long to get back into it! Its hard when you fall off the wagon but...

I started on 4 packs a day for the first few days, till I was in Ketosis. Now I'm on 3 a day, sometimes I have 2 a day and a wholemeal wrap with ham and a spoon of light soft cheese in as a treat. So far not out of Ketosis and loosing weight, not as fast as if I was just on the 3 packs a day...

To be honest Martin, I sometimes have 4 packs a day if I'm desperate and can't stop the hungar. I usually try and go as long as possible before having the first one, then every 3-4hrs from then on. Plus I have those bouillon drinks as well which do help, altho basically just drinking stock cudes...

Another one here as well mate! Kev

Old habbits die hard Starlight... I just cant help it! The fact that since Tue ive lost 6.6lbs should be enough to keep me motivated..... going to bin them... NOW!

I have the tell tail signs... Usually not hungry, bit of smelly breath.. I think I have realised my mistake. Ketostix are used for diabeties (spelling??) Im always testing pale pink, the first coloured box on the side of the bottle, which says "NEG" for negative. I guess since I'm not using...

I started on Tuesday, so I'm only on day 5 now. I work away so its been hard, no cheating... till yesterday, I had a small sausage in the morning :D Last night I tried Ketostix, and it was very dark pink, so I was over the moon. However today, its been light pink (negative) Does that mean im...

whats the best? Knor liquid bouillon, or marigold reduced salt?

Divster, It takes will power, and lots of it. If you can keep yourself occupied its a doddle. I try to go as long as possible in the morning, usually get to 12-1pm before I have my first pack, so because I have left it that long it makes it easier to get the other ones in every 3-4 hours. I...

A loss is a loss! thats how I have to think of it, whether it be 1lb or 15lb, its 1lb less on me!

Im on day two of Exante now, previously did Cambridge. I was in Ketosis by day 3 if i stick to it 100% no cheating, which is what i've done so far. Today was hard, I work for an airline, and have spent today in a hotel (too cold outside to go anywhere) which has driven me round the bend in a...

I love all the shakes lol! its the soups I cant stand, none of them! I have to have shakes and bars and thats it, the choc one is nice hot I'm day one as well, and a restarter.... Im just taking myself to bed early, cant stop thinking food

What annoyed me is I follwed it really well this time, and the meal i had last night was the portions of add a meal, ive drank at least 3l of water a day.... i know its only day 3 but ive not lost a single pound yet!

Ok, so I restarted CD on sunday. Im doing SS to shift the first 2 stone then I'll move up. Sunday wasnt to bad, today a little harder caved in and had half a chicken breast with a microwave bag of salad today, but felt guilty so headed to gym and did an hour on treadmill and burnt 497cals. How...

Its really nice with a cup of tea/coffee! but i like the caramel bars as well. I dont like cranberry and never buy anything else cranberry flavour however you cant really taste it, its more oatey

Personally mine is a diary milk fruit and nut! lol But i settle for the cranberry ones because it tastes like a flap jack!

BunnyJ Thomas Cooks seats arn't to bad, but dont make yourself uncomfertable wearing the belt, if you need an extension ask. I am cabin crew now and have been for 6 years and I cant tell you how many times a day we get asked for them, and crew dont bat an eye lid,we dont run back to the galley...

I'm an air steward! makes doing CD very difficult... i sympathise with anyone who spends the day around food!

Petal, im restarting today! after 2 failed attempts to start SS since xmas this is the one! ive took pics of me with no clothes on, all fat hanging out and stuck it to fridge door! ive also gots pics of me in August when i was 11 stone (3stone lighter than now) and the difference is amazing, I...

Hannah Im on day 2, its the hardest day 2 ive ever had!! ive restarted 3 times, lost nearly 3st last summer and have put 2.5 back on, i threw all my old clothes out so nothing fits no more lol and my work uniform cost me £50 to get altered back in july, but now it busting at the seams! Day 3...

I'm so dissapointed, after loosing 2.5 stone and being so near goal weight in Dec I fell off the wagon, its taken a few months to get myself back in that place to re start but I have. Started SS today, forgot how hard it is somtimes, im fine as long as no one else is within a 5 mile radius...

Porgeous!!! I used to read loads of ur posts last year when I was doing CD, I cant believe it! ur pics! U look amazing! I cant get over the difference in our pics in such a short period of time. I lost over 2 stone in a matter of weeks, unfortunatly i gave in, and im now back to what i was last...

Thanks Ice, i should be starting 1000 once ive been to see my CD during the week. My moobs are just little, they have gone down an awful lot so fingers x just a bit of training should do!

Hey All! I'm back, feeling fantastic and full of beans! so motivated, after 2 months on SS I went from 13st 7lbs to 11st 10lbs. I then fell of the wagon as a lot of us do, went on holiday and that was the beginning of the downward spiral. So I started SS a week ago combined with 45 mins of light...

Hey! I'm back as well Sue, after 3 weeks of being of CD and gaining 10lbs in weight (Ive been eating like a pig... Ive been eating everything and anything in sight) I know how u feel about the walkers but u just have to avoid them! i thought "oh if i have this and then do an extra 10 mins in...

Claire That traker thing u use at the bottom has a graph on it when u update ur weight, shows u where u started and where u will b in a few weeks time if u keep going the rate u are now

my weight changes within 2-5lbs during the day! in the morning im currently 12.1 but by tea time i can upto 12.5 (usually on a bad day when im struggling with water intake) I am on a mission as of 2moro to drink SHED loads of water as im also trying to flush out this cold that is coming on, ive...

tara1 i used to rely on ketostix all the time, used to use them every time i needed the loo, was a bit obsessed but to be honest mine have been in a negative reading for the last week yet i still continue to loose the LBS with no cheating. I would strongly advise you dont use them as you might...

ah thanks guys! nibbles have stopped.... dont know why i do it i keep tellin myself im gonna make SS last longer cos i wont go 790 untill im down to bmi of 25. Im looking forward to AAM ive decided wha im gonna have everyday and ive made my shoppin list (i acutally did it in week 1 when i was...

Lily i know where you come from, its hard! we can all vouch for that, but when ur surrounded by food its so hard, im beginning week 4 and im never hungry but i feel i have to pick becuase its there! no cos i want it, it stupid, i just say to myself "moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips" all...

Hannah did u get back into ketosis then? I have cheated the odd once or twice and it usually has knocked me into a lower state of ketosis so that when i do a test it wont register however i still loose weight... just very very slowly. Id took me 2 days to get back into last time, but guess...

Wierd thing... I use ketostix once a day... and they seem to be negative since the end of my 2nd week on SS. Thing is, im still loosing about 1lb every other day, is this normal? thought I would only loose if I was in the pink bit on the ketostix? I dont cheat so no extra carbs or cals going on...

Thanks... no more picking... i didnt realise the water made that much difference, to be honest i havnt quite had my full 3-4L that i normally have, do u think this may have caused the problem as well? What part does the water play exactly?

Ok Ok Ok! Ill be honest... and Ive let myself down sooo much... I started CD 14 days ago today... and on Day 11 I had reached my first goal of loosing 1 stone, i was down to 12st 7!!! So as a treat, i had 2 cherry toms and 2 ritz crackers.... well before i knew it i was picking... and now 12st...

Morning, to all those on day 2, dont worry stick with it! just fill yourself up on water, you'll soon be over the worst and i promise u it does get better. im on day 14 and its a lot easier than u think, especially when u realise that in only 2 weeks ove dropped a stone!!! Keep with it - its...

I found the tomatoe ones very powdery! but i did 2 weeks with just banana, choc, choc mint and orange bars... its been hard lol

Yes its the smell of 1000 cals hitting your body all at once... i used to eat all the spare passenger meals, we used to have competitions to see who could eat the most... obviously i won, and thats why im week 2 of SS lol

Hi Hollycat.. tAirlines are my field lol - I'm cabin crew... if you need the extension belt you wont be allowed to sit anywhere with extra leg room as these are usually exit seats, and you are not allowed issue extension belts to passengers sitting there. There maybe some seats that are on the...

i went to the sea side other day with mates and they all had fish n chips.... i had to walk away and go sit on my own on the rocks cos I didnt want to be around it. To be honest tho im finding the cravings getting less and less but every now and then... it grabs u when u least expect it and u...

I had a few slices of corned beef.... and 2 ritz crackers and when i went for a wee before... ketostix was negative! GUTTED! Im hoping its cos i just been drinking loads of water in last few hours!

Ive been peeing on the ketostix every day and its always been the first shade of pink which is good! but today it was negative!!! - had to admit i caved in and had 3 slices of corned beef and a ritz cracker, but i didnt have my 4th CD shake instead (for today only) So maybe it was enough to...

I wish i got tetras now, only got a few soups and a few bars to try them... but i cud live on them cranberry bars they are divine! Only thing is... I work on an aircraft (hence name) and i find it hard to mix the packets at work cos they dont mix well without the blender, and i cant take the...

hayway... let me know how ur getting on, im on day 6 of SS at the moment and its not to bad but i really do find that i miss sittin down for a meal at the end of the day... the rest of the day is never a problem. So I was thinking on doing SS for just 2 weeks, then maybe AAM before going 790...

Altho I dont have the curse of TOTM, I did get on the scales today and I have lost a few lbs... not enough! Ive lost about 1lb a day so far... and today is sunday dinner day! please someone tell me this is gonna b worth it, i have felt fine all day (day 4) and at this minute i cud just think...

I had that from Lloyds... as soon as i said "do u sell Ketostix" she looked at me and said "are u on a low cal diet" and i said "why? do i look as if i need to be on one" cheeky cow! and after all that they didnt have them anyway. So i got mine from boots yesterday no questions asked

Oh thanks spudsbit... i ended up going into Newcastle today and tried all the boots around and finally got them!! as well as the ones on ebay and as well as the ones my mam picked up today as well cos she knew i was looking for them.... so ive now got an endless supply. Only had my sticks a few...
