Glasgow here too

I'm a bit of a gadget freak and I must admit that I could not have done this diet without my Bamix hand blender. It's coming in very handy for the skimmed milk later in the diet (the bamix can turn a small amount of skimmed milk into a creamy substance which with a couple of sweeteners and a...

Kelly, its great to hear that you are back on track to get back to your target. As my CDC you are still an inspiration and a source of good information when I come along. I'm sure that you'll be top of the class in no time at all !

Superb weight loss ! You are right when you think of things in the perspective of objects you can really quantify your acheivements. I always say to people that i've lost a posh spice.

yeah I wont forget Kelly !

yeah it's pretty obvious isn't it lol

thanks for all the support - it's what keeps me going towards my target !!

wow you look amazing ! you are absolutely gorgeous, bet the guys are falling over themselves to chat you up !

I believe the Orange Winter spice was a very limited edition for the christmas season. Its a shame as I actually quite liked it. The leek and potato I thought was horrid, mind you i've hated all the soups i've tried and now stick to only shakes, tetras and bars

I was looking back through some of my pictures today and I was horrified to find a pic of me before I started the diet. I posted it as I know a lot of people are just starting out, here's what 5 months of will power can do..... (honestly it is the same person !!!!) oh and I finally bought the...

Absolutely ! I've noticed that since I have upped my intake to at least 6 litres a day my losses have been considerably better. The way I overcame the obstacle of the amount was drinking from a 1.5l bottle instead of a 1l bottle. I try to drink 1 bottle with each pack and this seems to work.

Before : After : (well about a month ago, lost more since then) I know there will be a lot of people out there who are just starting and unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Believe me, this diet works and it is a life changer. I'm now 1 stone away from my target and...

sorry to say that the "death breath" will continue as long as you are on the diet. I don't find drinking more water helps (I drink at least 6 litres a day and still have stinking breath). Best tips are to brush your teeth more, use mouthwash & carry a breath spray

I personally prefer drinking green tea. I have a friend who is a professor at a well know UK university who has done a great deal of research into drinking green tea as an aid to health. His findings have shown that Typhoo Green Tea blend is the most beneficial to health of any tea currently...

Busybee - Personally I would do the AAM week, I had a lot more weight to lose than you do and I still did the AAM week. I believe it helped kick my metabolism back into gear after 4 weeks of SS'ing. I've now done 2 AAM weeks, I just try to keep the portions boring so i'm not really tempted to go...

yeah after my initial embarrasment I felt excellent about it. It certainly helped me to avoid picking at the massive amounts of party food which was laid in front of me

I was at a halloween party last night (went as captain jack sparrow) and I saw a lot of people who i've not seen a lot since I started the diet. I'm surprised my head could fit through the door when we left the party this morning, compliment after compliment and getting chatted up left, right...

Glasgow here !

thanks for all the support - was a bit aprehensive about posting my pics but it's great to get such positive feedback

this is the first time i've posted pics, here are some before and after pics. BEFORE : AFTER :

I pretty much always have my Choc Mint hot - I think it's lovely

you can add me to msn if you like : [email protected]

The more water you consume the more weight you will lose on a weekly basis typically. I drink 6-7 litres of water a day and maintain a constant loss. I adhere to the mantra "the more you drink, the more you shrink". Remember 2 litres is the absolute bare minimum you should be drinking. Have you...

those pictures should definately give you great motivation, you dont look like the same person. You look 10 years younger, you look fab !!

I guess I won then !!!

55lbs ....you are doing fantastically well. Keep up the good work

a good tip for the shaker above : if you are making a hot shake/soup make sure that you "swirl" the powder with some cold water first then add your boiling water. Then you shake it for about 5 seconds(not too vigourously) open the cap to release some of the steam. Repeat that a couple of times...

another handy idea if you're needing a shake made up "on the go" - Boots the Chemsit sell a protein shaker maker for about £3 - usually Maximuscle brand, it's got a wee mesh that breaks up any lumps. It's pretty good for doing the soups in a hurry. Heres a pic to let you know what you're looking...

well i'm from Glasgow, so i'd be up for coming to the meet (even though i'm a total CD newbie)

to re-iterate the previous posts, the first few days can be pretty difficult but after day 3/4 you stop feeling hungry. You will also likely feel a great sense of wellbeing - just keep drinking that water and you will have a great sense of acheivement at your weigh in.

superb ! wow, you were a good looking girl when you started but I must admit you are lookin even better now ! You're doing brilliantly, keep up the good work. Allan

I definately repeat the suggestion of french onion soup - that would be my ideal soup. Apple water flavouring would be nice for a change. Coconut bars would be superb. In terms of shakes I think Cookies n Cream, Choc-Orange, Coconut & Mango would be excellent.

yeah the shakes and soups are both fine to put in a smoothie maker. I use the kenwood smoothie maker for all my cold shakes. Get a pint glass with about 6-7 ice cubes then fill it with cold water, stick it in the smoothie maker with your pack and blend away for a perfect shake.

you've defintely made the right choice ! The first week can be a nightmare but if you stick to your guns you'll never look back. I've been on the diet for 2 weeks and i'm never hungry and feel great.

never paid to see my CDC, just for the products. In regards to chewing gum, I think the official line is to avoid it as the saliva going into your stomach can cause hunger. If it's just for the "death breath" then you can use the breath freshener strips or a breath spray.

Well done Kelly ! You are definately an inspiration. See you when you come back from your hols !

Thanks very much...i must admit I was extremely shocked at how much I had dropped in a week

and I lost a grand total of 11.25 lbs - i've been lurking for the past week or so and got some great tips so I decided i'd dive in and post tonight.
