Hi All, Im back on my 3rd restart on CD, starting today....it has not been an easy journey....lost about 3stone when 1st did diet but i have gained back about 12lbs so back to square one. Dont even want to go back to what i was so need to keep the momentum going

Hi ladies, Lost 2lbs at weigh in yesterday.....was very happy....I'm trying really hard to educate myself that slow losses stay off for life and I never want to go back to where I came from... Now I have 10lbs to lose in he next 4 weeks to achieve my 1st mini goal = 2.5lbs a week which is...

Im doing good...I had a bit of a slip up yesterday...when I couldnt really track my points as at a family dinner but I tried to stick to the sensible food options.... WI is tomorrow and I'm hoping for a healthy loss like 1-2lbs....I think I lost weight took quick with cambridge so hoping to...

Hi, well because your body builds up glycogen storage you should expect to gain a few lbs the 1st week off cambridge as body deals with the change and you come out of ketosis. I set in my mind that i would put on at least 5lbs (which i did) and then started afresh with WW....i slowly...

Sorry guys can you explain what 'Kickstart' is to me....My leader never went through that!!

Im in Ladbroke Grove....so its quite a way away....but i will be posting on here as much as poss....to keep the momentum going!!

I will do, Gem....Im off to Boots now to get a Shapers salad...and its true I am enjoying it and i can see that will control and moderation...I will be able to lose and keep the weight off Thanks

Hi all, I have moved over to Weight watchers after losing about 2 1/2 stone on Cambridge....I was getting really depressed with Cambridge and feeling really dispondent but I really didnt want to let go of all my hard work so here I am continuing my journey... See have another 2 stones or so...

That is so true thats all I really needed to hear....I'm bang on it from today no slip ups... I prefer the tetras!!! The funny is I'm not even hungry...its purely me just being craven for food but I havent had any carbs just bit of chicken here and there but Im sticking to it 100% Thanks...

I hear what you guys are saying as I'm really struggling....im still having my tetras but Im having the desire to eat too strong to resist some days and the weekend is going to be o hard as they are so many social events and eat this and eat that....HELP!!!! Im losing the willing to keep going

I have noticed that my lips are always very dry and I'm constantly reaching for Vaseline

Hi Maz, Yeah they do and everyone is being really supportive...today has been a better day than yesterday! I'm just trying to take each day as it comes....plus im helping my friend plan her wedding in September so that plus work is keeping me busy!!

Hey guys, Well I have been going spinning...but I was doing this before I started CD....but this is only once or twice a week, I want to keep my cardio up so my body learns to burn its excess. I know a few people who exercise while SS but always do at your own pace and up the amount of water...

Hey all, I'm now beginning to find my restart really hard....its not even a hunger thing, its more that I miss out of so much...I'm feeling so detached from my family, boyf, friends and work colleagues as I'm always avoiding eating events and its making me feel quite miserable. I know what I...

I hadnt thought of that, I asked my CDC and she said I shouldn't be drinking Red Bull anywa as not good for ladies...so I guess that takes care of that. I will keep it going Good luck to all of you and thanks for all your advice Quiz, my family are down in Shep Bush so always down there...

I think I'm finding it so hard as I have been really struggling with my water the last few days....and I only drink water as not a Tea or Coffee girl, another girl I know said her CDC said she can have sugar free redbull for energy and a pick me up but I dont want to risk it....Does anybody else...

Im based in South East London.....but I drive which means can get around everwhere....Are you nearby?

Hi all, I really need some inspiration today as was at breaking point yesterday....I was so miserable (food really is my comfort which is why I need to take it out of the equation) but everyone around me was eating and everything smelt so nice. But I'm determined to keep at it....hearing all...

Hey all, Had WI yesterday and I lost 13lbs!!!!! Thats crazy.....im so happy, just another reason to keep my head up and keep going We can all do this!!

Hey, I am celebrating with you after all...13lbs lighter....I just need to keep the momentum going as the losses will get slower and lower but I just want to keep at it!! Good luck to everyone!

Hey guys, Back from WI and following my first week....I shed 13lbs.... I'm a bit shocked as I didnt feel like I lost that much but I did stick to it to the T and weathered through all my storms. Bring it on week two!!

I agree with FunelleFox, I dont like any of the soups and was asking for advice in another thread on how to possibly improve the taste with any allowable condiments (if poss.) I like both the Banana and Chocolate tetras...they are a Godsend for work as I'm sure my colleagues were getting sick of...

Hiya, Does anybosy know if we are allowed to add any kind of condiments to the CD soups to improve the tastes...I really cant take the taste of some of the soups (sometimes having to hold myself to gulp it down) so I have been sticking to purely shakes and tetras. But as my journey goes on...

Hi lou1978, You just have to keep the momentum, they always say the restart is harder but I think I have been more focused this time so when I getting really miserable I keep reminding myself why I NEED to do this! You've done so well so far.....just keep at it!!

Thats so good, well done!! I'm going for my 1st weigh in tonight!! So I hope to post a bit later on and be celebrating with you!!

I so hear what everyone is saying....I experience "fed up" moments everyday but then I just visualise how I want to see myself and guld down some water and keep going. Its not easy but the key is like the motto below, we have to make it our habit to adjust to only having the shakes, bars etc...

Hi all, I have got weigh-in today after 7 days on my 2nd CD restart....(im on day 8 now) and I do have ups and downs but the hunger seems to have subsided. Wish me luck!! Oh, and keep it going guys and girls we will all get there!!

Hi Mazza, Hope its all going well....I have WI tomorrow so made it through the 1st week and it has got much easier. Fingers crossed for a good loss!!

The best thing is to stick to weighing yourself once a week at Weigh In only. 1) Because it should roughly be the same time of day and day of the week 2) Its gives you the motivation to keep going week on week 3) It stops you obessing about I never weigh myself outside weigh in as a lil loss...

Hey RuthG, Just to wish you all the best with your journey....the diet does work its just about keeping yourself dedicated to it. I go through some really low points but I always have the picture in my head of what I want to look like and how I want to feel and then I dont want to stop...

Hi all, I thought I'd join this group as I restarted as well this week on Monday so im on day 4 now....and it has got alot easier....i think Tuesday (day 2) was the hardest....where I was at breaking point but reading all the stories has definately kept me encouraged. This is my 2nd attempt...

Im suffer from the same thing...Day 3 and a really clammy mouth...I can actually smell my breath and I'm so conscious that I have to talk to people shielding my mouth on the side...not good!! Is there any particular brand of gum thats acceptable or is it best to stick to the sprays:wave_cry:

I was wondering about this as well....Thanks alot!!! POST***POST***POST

Can I just ask what kept you going....I need some real motivation and hearing all you achievements reall helps but sometimes I feel so miserable and I feel like I'm falling but I WONT!! will keep the momentum going

Quick question...does that mean one could drink sugar free Red bull....im studying and sometimes I need a pick me up thats not water but if its not advisable I wont have it!!

Hi All, My name is Kima and this is my second attempt at CD. This is Day 3 and Im optimistic that I will see it through.....I started CD in August 2007 at 16st 3lbs and managed to get down to 15st 1lbs in 3weeks and then it went quite pear shaped.....and I switched to WW to see if I could...

Hi guys, I so hear what you are saying....I have been SSing for 2 weeks and into my 3rd week no without no cheating...but i have been finding it so hard.... i went to the gym today and did some cardio and went into the steam room but when i came home and made my oriental chilli soup.... i just...
