Thanks Petal1951, i have read the leaflets in the packet and reasearched lots, however my doctor didnt really go into the details, from reasearching i believe i should consume no more than 40-50g of fat per day, some say 30-40g tho? am i right that if its 3g of fat per 100g then if i consume...

im not getting weighed this week now, as dnt need supplies so cancelled app. my WI this morning is STS so am guna use that as this weeks and crack on with the diet!!

thanks surf hunni, tho on my app store it only shows sleep cycle alarm clock?? strange!! the pic idea is really good kez, gota spur u on!! and 20lbs does make a massive difference!!

only u will know if u can coope with food, idnt think i can and will b bk on ss next week to try and shift some lard lol but if u are controlled then take the decision and stick with it, babies are a good distraction as mothers will b wanting to eat so u can entertain lol

well done kay!!!

well done amazing losses!!! with the bbq u could take ur own salad and chicken so ur joining in? or if ur worried avoid temptation all together u dnt want to come out of ketosis (like me!) its hard to get back in without side effects!

ohh i have an iphone and love it but am curious on this sleep app? whats it called? i love one called glow hockey, its like the one u play at the archades i love it lol

dont b down, u lost!!! and as iv said in the challenge post ur 1lb of a stone, and uv weighed in early 2 weeks on the trot lol think positive, and u will def next week beat the 1 stone marker!!! also dnt focus on the inches as tbh they can fluctuate with women totm;s etc, u will know in ur...

yea i feel happier now leeds, and actually feel more positive to the diet!!! i feel like i only have myself to answer too, not the diet lol or the critics lol ok so today has been the best this week, prob cos totm is ending lol but have had 3 shakes, at least 3 ltrs of water, 2 cups of tea...

pyira its nearly a stone!!!! 1 lbs to go, and u weighed in early again, so effectivly u have done it 2 days early this week and a few days early last week, if u think ul loose 1-2lbs over the weekend if u stick to it then thats still 1 stone in a month hunni, and thats the CD expected weight loss

how did ur wi go?

i think +6 for u but think u will have a big loss next week to rectify this. u deserve time off the diet and the bulk of the gain will be water retention so dont panic.

sorry ladies, not a great week for me and as this thread is ment to b positive i have chosen not to post and bring u down. will b back on form next week just feeling sorry for myself and blipping too much, hoping for a tiny loss this week, but will crack on next week to rectify this. will wi sat...

thanks leeds and sweet thing the problem with CD is that it is quick results but u have to totally give up everything for that!! with other diets u eat healthily and cut back so isnt as noticable!! Im on this till my holiday so another 5 weeks want another 1.5 stone gone but as i am...

good plan with wi b4 u go out lol nightmare having to be careful out and hard to drink enough water wifout spending all night in the loo lol sure things will work out over the summer with the bf, b positive hunni. and ul b looking hot in sept wen u return if u dnt c him as ul have lost all ur...

i need too scaredsilence i have this power that takes over me, i need to be locked in a dark room, no scales and handed rations each day untill im skinny lol willpower = untill 5pm 100% then all to pot!!

ok just dint want to not tell u incase its true!! i dnt have nething but tetras lol so so today had a moan on my diary lol but have been in control i guess so better than before!! weight was sts this morning, but wanna c it moving on down!!! tho with totm this week its not happening lol

thanks girls, seriously u lot help me so much on here, and its a great place to vent angers!!! had an "ish" day today, 100% all day, 3 shakes, nearly 3 ltrs of water, but really needed food tonight so have had chicken (tho it did have a bit of a cream sauce!!) some veg and couple of spoons of...

u only need a few good weeks on 810 leeds and ul b at goal!! just keep the water up tho to avoid water retention!

well done for being able to sit next to 2 people chomping away!! we go to the cinema most wednesdays and oh likes his cinema treats, i take a tetra and try and have it when he opens his treats so im not tempted lol how was SATC2? my oh wont c it lol so will b a girly trip for that one soon!!

it will all count to the total the challenge looses tho, do u weigh urself or are u good and just get WI by ur CDC? I have a very bad habit of checking most mornings, i think its more of a reassurance thing, tho i dnt panic if 1 day to the next its +1 for no reason as water retention etc can...

thanks ladies, weighed myself thismorning and am +1lb, im happy with that as am now totm and am only really bk on it properly today. so full steam ahead this week!

but u didnt make awful choices either leeds, sometimes life does get in the way and on CD we rely heavily on the shakes, so forgetting to take one with u prob made u feel hungry hence the bigger ortion, dont worry as u wouldnt have had the calories from that shake and Stirfry isnt too bad so...

wow so 11lbs between 3 of us, so if Kay or yummymummy2b has lost 3+ lbs then the challenge has lost over a stone in a week!!! looking forward to next weeks total!!

i know the feeling too, i have bn up and down from 15.7 on my 21st birthday - 18stone at my heaviest this year, am currently at 16.7 and b4 CD was with u at the higher end of 17's it must b magnetic i can maintain at that, wel it isnt maintaining its eating bad lots and staying there!! if ur...

ur doing well and the first few days u will have water retention so by weds that should b gone if u keep the water up, and im sure ul b in for a big loss!!! choc tetra is delish, i add extra water to mine and/or hot water or ice, makes it last longer and savours the taste tho with these u dnt...

put a pic of ur wedding dress, and a recent pic of u on the fridge/cupboards then wen u cant decide and think of eating when not hungry u can c the 2 pics and think that in x amount of months the 2 will b together!! should b motivating for u hun, but not easy!!

water first, always check ur not just thirsty as i think this is key to why i used to pick, i never drank much and was prob thirsty!!

thanks leeds think the challenge helped us all have a good week!!! am looking forward to this week and checking in sat am with the results!!! so how much has the challenge lost this week in total? would b good to have a running total

thank u leeds u have helped me through this week!! bring on the challenge!!

welllll -5lbs!!!! very happy, so for me thats 1 stone 2 lbs in a month, with havin a week off!!!!

well done on the mental side of things with food, it will all help u in the long run to iron out the thoughts in ur head now. carbs straight after CD do have that effect due to ketosis, as thats protein based, if u gradually re intorduced them the side effects would b minimul, but it helps u...

course u can its open to all, glad u found it as its a really positive thread and very supportive!!!

it is hard tho so dont feel bad about strugelling, we all are!! i had a week off last week, done 2 weks CD then needed a break as was unsure to continue so this is my first week back, well mon-sat, will b eating tomo night then back on it again!! sure monday will b a struggle for me again lol...

wow sounds like u have tried a few tho CD is good at getting results, the water with tetras they used to say extra 1/2 ltr if u have them per shake, but tbh i empty mine into a glass and top with water and ice, im sure that i read somewhere tho that u dnt need to increase nemore as they have...

well done 4 lbs is great, so u have now lost half a stone!!! thats really good hun!!! dont beat urself up that it cld have bn more cos its an amazing loss for 4 days!! just think if u can do that in 4 days of being really good then next week can b just as good if not better!! enjoy tomo and...

hi u sound like ur on top of this already with water, however if u do need soem suggestions some sparking flavoured waters are ok, but must have malic acid not citric acid, and coke zero/dr pepper zero. i tend to have my water at warm temp can drink more that way, cold it bloates me too much...

hi leeds yea had a week off, was reasonable but the odd naughty last week lol so yea 3lbs since mon, this morning scales said same so hoping lol but tbh i have 3-4 more stone to loose so think i should b loosing quicker than u skinnies, my goal weight is higher than urs and sweetthings start...

it seems to have changed my mindset, if i slip at the weekend im not as worried as know mon-fri i can focus at work!! just use tomo as a wi to refocus urself, drink lots today and u should b fine with the nibbles, i do tend to have the odd bite of food as if i say to myself i cant i will just...

well done on loosing since ur initial consultation, thats a good start!! good luck for tomorrow, drink wenever u feel hungry it will pass, and have the tablets at the ready for any headaches, dnt let them set in, just pop the pills and drink lots!!! take the day as it comes, if u think u can...

hi sweet girl - the water is ment to help get rid of ketons i think, so the more u have the more it flushes through, or gets rid of the fat!! the weekends cm hard 4 u, like they were for me, can u not make ur appointments on a fri/sat so that all ur hard work all wk is seen, then relax a...

i dont think i could face CD if i wasnt feeling positive lol, but im not expecting this week to be easy to say the least lol will b glugging the water and have the pills at the ready!!

ur right for letting CD go for the moment if it is messing with ur head!! u dont need that, just relax into a good way of eating and telling urself nothing is off limits does trick the mind into not thinking about it!!! hope ur back feels better soon, the dog walks sound fun and relaxing, i...

hiya SW - Slimming world i find is easier than WW as its allowing u to have certain types of food (free food) unlimited rather than counting every crumb as a point, so u have red, green and orange days. with these u also have healthy extra choices called A + B Red are mainly meat + 2 A + 2 B...

its good u were able to walk away, this diet is so hard and resisting so many day to day temptations is a big challenge!! so iv met with my CDC again today and stocked up for the week!! am planning to do SS+ most days to help me avoid nibbles!! feel ready for it again, and have only gained...

lol thanks kayshakins, such a weird craving as i dont usually eat that kind of stuff lol and to all the CD people sorry iv mentioned food so much in my diary!!! so how are u doing with Cd?

hiya, dnt panic!!! i felt exactly the same, the 3 week wobble, and i have subsequently come off plan for a week and ate wat i wanted!!! it doesnt make u feel nebetter!!! i actually feel worse as i have prob gained 7bls of the 15 i lost, this will be partly water retention but it has made me...

iv used senna as its got no coating, brought it for CD, but have used dulcolax before and find it works better but is sugar coated i think? but will get some tomo to resolve for now!! iv never heard of rubarb tho? is that raw or cooked?

thats really good going, well done!! iv bn on senna for a cpl of days lol its not great still so will keep doing it till sorts, i am still drinking about 1.5 ltrs of fluid but will try and increase, think will take ur advise and up the fibre for a few days b4 CD again and hopefully this will help!!

yea im not worrying about it, BF's treat, tho he knows in future flowers are a better option when on CD lol i plan to ease back in to CD tomo and fri, then do ss+ next week and take it day by day really. hows it going with ur plan? have u started loosing again now? iv also found the first day...

oh at least urs is a morning weigh in, mines monday pm!! ur blibs sound like they shoudnt do much damage so fingers crossed for you.

but at least u have recognised the signs, and tbh situations like that are guna b occasional not part of your day to day life. in non idet world u need to deal with bad days by a few "good days" maybe cut right back for a few days and exercise that little bit more to burn the calories, its...

i managed 1 mouthful of the cinamonporidge, was awful!! apparently u can put sweetner with them so may try a original one with it at some point lol its a case of finding what u like and sticking with it lol not easy tho!

im sure ur weigh in will be good, im feeling the effects of not drinking enough water yesterday, my head is all achey and hurts, so am trying to drink more today!! drank about 1 ltr so far so will press on with that. what time is ur wi 2mo? make sure u post ur results, im following ur diary...

ok another "ish" day, good all day but really fancied something tonight, just a normal taste, so have had a heinz tomato soup!! opps, but was nice!! god i need to get to grips with this SS malarky!!! WI 2 days away so need to pull my finger out!! 8 weeks to holiday so need to be loosing...

if u feel a headache make sure u take ur tablets and dont suffer, but def keep going with the water, well done!

hi, hope ur first day has gone ok? its not easy as im sure uv found out, but wish you luck in CD dieting! x

if u cant stomach the shakes (i cant) then get on the phone to ur CDC and arrange to change them for tetras, they are so much nicer, i find the texture of the packs make me heive, i cant swallow em lol dont just not have anythign tho as it will be bad for u!!!

thanks thats a real big help, i dont want to drink it all the time but am feeling i dont drink as much as i would if i could mix it up a bit!!! love dr pepper so zero one will be my treat lol hope uv had a good day today?

hiya hope uv had a good day, weigh in is looming for me to and today tomo and monday will b SS hopefully, want to loose 4lbs this week, as my WI went from AM-PM last week and think that had an effect!!! tetras are ready made shakes in a carton, pretty much like ribina packaging!! lol u have a...

OK so today has been testing to say the least, I had a meeting at a different office, 1.5 hours away, and was a passenger in a car, so water limited till we got there, and no shake till 10am, usually have it at 9am!! drank lots whilst in the meeting 10-3, but no lunch break so had to slyly...

well done on ur -3lbs!!! thats really good. Can i ask what sainsbury flavoured drinks u have found with the right stuff in, i could really do with these, but am unsure what i am looking at lol also random q? but can we have cokezero? i read it on a CD website but am unsure?? sorry for...

hiya found ur diary now lol With the shakes try using a fork if no wisk, also i find they dissolve better with hot water, and choc ones taste nice like that!! I also have my water luke warm and find it easier to get down, also see u took 15 mins to mix one, b carefull as after 15 mins...

its a quick diet u just need to adjust once uv lost the weight to keep it off!! i am an accountant, i study CIMA atm so can relate to study stress, tho i do it from home!! not easy with wrking full time but i think long term and i wanna b rich lol so must continue lol

im planning to stick to it 90% of the time, and as soon as the compliments start coming from weight loss it will inspire u (and me) to keep going lol i plan another 6 weeks so fingers crossed i have some more big losses like my first week lol not sure how it happened tho !! what are u studying...

sounds a good plan, get better and holiday done then see how u feel.

hi sorry ur reply sisnt show until i had already posted lol do what is right for you, as u say u have lost 20lbs!!!! thats good, and if u arent happy with CD then take the break, have a few weeks just being u and thinking positivly about food, eat healthily, you have long enough to loose the...

sorry i dont know about the posting thing or PM? i havent bn on here long lol If ur uni mates are planning a night out to celebrate dont not go, i have a few events planned into my diet, a hen night and my bday lol but for these nights i plan to eat a normal eve meal, but low carb and drink...

you say you only have a few tetras, and then normal shakes, would your CDC not swap the packets for tetras? i had to do this in my first week and my CDC has said if i dont like any let her know and she will change any for me! i have packets this week to try mix a moose but think i dont want to...

oh no are u ok taking anti biotics on CD? hope ur not too poorly as the diet isnt much help when ur ill cornishkez - i can only do tetras and bars, if had to have packets id fail!!!! lol it works tho!!

im due my 3rd WI monday, so 2 and half weeks, tho the first week was only 5 days as started on a weds instead of a monday!! so actually only 2 weeks lol how much are u aiming to loose? do you have any goals, events ur aiming for, seems were at the same stage so would be good motivation to c...

thanks sweet girl123, i get so much insparation to continue by reading other peoples sucess, we are all trying to achieve the same thing! when did u start?

its not wrong to swap between the diets, your still conciously trying to loose weight and get healthy and CD is so hard, u done well on what u lost by the looks of things and u can always come back to it if you feel you need to!! Good luck

yea i need to break it down more, 1 stone goals on CD i think as am 1.5lb away from the first one!! then 3 more to go!! and need it gone by 6 weeks so CD is the only option!! but every wk i loose weight is an achievement, it went on slowly so isnt guna dissapear overnight is it!! much as i prey...

no definate goal, was hoping for 3 stone by early aug for a holiday but then maybe a stone after? i really dont know i dont remember being that small lol iv always bn 15-16 stone lol and that would make me 14ish have been reading some other diarys for inspiration and think i need to take one...

reading ur diary i can so relate to it toay, im on 3rd week of CD but have been up and down since first week!! today im unsure of sticking to CD or opting for SW, decisions!!! tho reading peoples diarys i do feel more positive to CD and think i will give it another go this week at least, the...

im really unsure, up until today i have been so positive with it, thinking its not forever, yet today i just want food, nothing bad, fruit, veg meat etc, and i have had some pickled onions tonight as i craved them so badly!! wtf? iv just got off the phone to my best friend, shes a super...

im no expert but im sure the carb withdrawal and going into ketosis can make u short tempered and snappy, maybe ur emotions are linked to it ?? hopefully it will pass soon and ul b fully in ketosis

so, weigh day yesterday and -2lbs, not great but lost so thats the main thing, did have a meal last night, felt i needed it!! tho prob dint need the bit of choc i had :( today bk to SS, tho my mind has been wondering as to what else i could do to loose weight and EAT!!! im finding it hard...

put the binge behind you, i havent had a good week either but each day i go back to CD, the week overall has been up and down for me and you have only blipped. drink lots and wake up tomo feeling 100% back to it, and im sure u will turn it around b4 weigh in day. dont beat urself up about it x

wow sounds like u have had an amazing day 1, well done, long may it continue!!

sorry to hear your struggeling with the diet, its by no means easy, i can totally sympathise with the not being able to stomach the shakes, can i ask have u tried the tetra ready made ones? i cant stomach the powder ones, on day 1 i actually had 1/2 a pack till 5pm and was on the phone to CDC...

Hi MrsN I find the odd SS+ day helps me through, if i didnt then i would cheat as I have a lot of social things pop up and I dont want to be excluded, I cant sit there and watch others eat, it would kill me and id break the diet and cheat, so by joining in and having something sensible works...

i hope ur first day on the diet goes ok, just remember to keep drinking the water x

thanks debbie, this mornings weigh in was -3lbs so will b happy with that and im not used to this thirst thing, b4 CD i only drank 2-3 cups of tea and 1-2 glasses of juice and think this is one of the things i will take away from the diet is that i need to drink more and to associate hunger and...

is it weird that i feel thirsty when on a liquid only diet?? iv drunk 4 shakes today, 2 litres of water and am over halfway thru the 3rd ltr, i am drinking loads but still feel thirsty?? advice welcome!!

if your not sure on the shakes try them with hot water, i only like the tetras have to add the same amount of water again tho to dilute them as far too concentrated for me and hot choc/mint and choc/orange, i tried the choc tetra today adding hot water and was actually really nice!! well done...

good luck on re starting x

had a sneeky peek on the scales this morning and am not happy, they dont appear to have moved all week!!! worried now wi monday will be the same, not sure how id cope with that?! so suceeded in a SS day yesterday and had soup, the leek and potatoe one, started off thinking this is ok, but...

good luck, i hope your start to the diet goes well, you probably done your body a favour by not pigging out as it could cause side effects when you going into ketosis with carb withdrawal etc.

the first few days are hard, its getting used to preparing and cing others eat but not being able to participate!! i still find it hard now but i am on my 2nd day after a couple of days off and each night i go to bed after batteling all temptation i feel i have achieved a goal, every day is...

reading through ur diary u have done amazing!! ordering the dress may be the thing that keeps u motivated!! good luck and think of how amazing you will feel when you go for a fitting and it is too big!!! prove the lady wrong !!

yea its possible i lost 10.5lbs in 5 days!! its a very motivating factor of CD!! when is your weigh in?

good luck with your journey, the size 12 dress must be a good insentive to aim to, if u think of food just think how awful it will be if it doesnt fit and that should spur you on, what date is the wedding>?

well done on not going for the binge!! thats good willpower!! and your dead right about the not wanting to do the early days again!! good luck and if u get a tough moment read ur post above and im sure it will help you through!!

my weigh in is monday pm, i have been good today and just done ss, and intend to keep on ss now. I think after a massive loss in 5 days i rebelled, against what im not sure? lol but heads back in it now, 9 wks to holiday so thats an insentive to keep me back on it!! today has been hard, at the...

so today at work im quite happy working away and out of the blue my close male work mate looks at me and says actually u can c the diets working already..?? i brush it off hes not the most suttle person and doesnt usually know when to say the right thing so i just thanked him and carried on...

ok today not as good, starving all day for some reason and caved in and had some chicken after work!! its totm so not helping as usually i would feel sorry for myself for days with chocolate and bad things!! oh the joys of being a woman!! tomo i will try for ss all day, need to get back into...

day 8 - it was going too well, i now have cystitus, not great with all the water as i just dont want to move off the loo!!! have had some cranberry juice today to try and help it, probably not allowed but just want to clear it up asap!!!

good luck, with your determination i look forward to reading your updates!!

Another sole source day nearly done!! and no side effects after sundays meal!!! if it continues like this i will be one happy "skinny" girl soon!!

ah seems to have worked now!!! had tried earlier and wouldnt work! thought i was doing something wrong! lol

can anyone tell me how to add a ticker thing??

thank you leeds123 it is such a good feeling. good luck for your return week

thanks, im thinking of the holiday and thats helping lol, im not really missing food, more the chewing and socialising part of it, but this isnt forever and when im feeling better about myself and confident then that will be more than worth the short time out spent on CD.

OK I dont know how i done it but 1st WI done and to my amazement.... 10.5lbs!!!!! thats in 51/2 days!! i actually cant believe it!! i thought maybe 7 going by my scales but i think i like my CDC's ones better!!! I have stuck to plan Weds-Sat but sunday I had the bf's parents doen unexpectidly...

I plan to have a few days off the diet b4 the holiday, i have a hen night, wedding and my bday in june but have already planned to do cd all day and a meal in eve as will be drinking, then bk on it, and as for the holiday i will be eating normally but healthily. i plan to come back from holiday...

LL is so restrictive and expensive, i done a couple of days on it b4 CD last time! when is your holiday? i go on 8th july so under 10 weeks now and i aim to loose 2-3 stone by then!! fingers crossed!

I was only worried about loosing it for my birthday, i went back to eating crap and lots of it, it didnt go striaight back on but gradually over time. I think the key is to ensure you follow the later stages of CD when introducing food and changing your habbits for life, last time my partner was...

This year i have decided im not going to ignor my weight problem anymore im 25 this year and need to sort it for good! Iv never been small but this is a joke!! so in january being 18 stone, shamefully the heaviest iv ever been!!! I joined SW, I lost 8lbs and then kind of lost the flow for a few...

Hi Im new to this too, I started last Tuesday and my start weight was 17.9, so 1 lb off ur start weight, I cut down on carbs for 2 days before i started and have had no real side effects, not even hunger!! I have done this diet previously and always gorged myself before starting then had really...
