    Diet Plate

    The actual diet plate comes in 2 sizes - men and women!! The manufacturer reckons you can pile it up as high as you can until the food spills over into the next boundary. The portions in my opinion are ok - satisfactory. Not sure whether the bowl comes in different sizes though? The bowl...

  111. Dobbie

    DO U THINK I CAN DO IT?

    My 2 new discoveries ... I just have to share!

    Well, I had a HUGE shopping spree at the weekend and actually indulged myself with all the things I had been planning to buy. My first discovery was the body shop's make-up! I bought foundation, loose powder and bronzer to replace my tired old bits. The girl in the shop was very helpful and...

    Anyone doing or done DIET CHEF?

    Hey, I haven't done the chef, but did do a week on go-lower (very similar). All prepackaged food, delivered to your door, around 1200 cals and low carb. I lost 6 lbs during the week that i did it, but found it very expensive and a bit boring. Same breakfast, choice of 2 lunches and the...

    Hunger Pangs

    Hey Vicx - Haribo are evil, I feel your pain there!! You'll have to convince yourself that everytime you eat a haribo you'll gain 2lbs!! I bet that'll keep you away from them!! I might sound really sad (again) now, but I love the CD choc shakes made up with a bit of milk .... very creamy and...

    Dobbie does WW!!

    Oh no!! Blisters are the worst hun :(. I hate flat pack furniture, always get myself into a right tizz trying to sort it. Last time BF had to rescue me - needless to say that I had made a right mess of it!! I did go to the gym last night. Managed 45 mins on the treadmill walking with a...

    Cake (lowest in points)?

    I agree with the others hun. I'd either take my own WW cake or say no. Not worth risking your loss this week for a piece of birthday cake in my little opinion!! x
  121. Dobbie

    DO U THINK I CAN DO IT?

    Morning Hunni, I think that 2.5lbs is doable - nothing wrong with having something to aim for ;):D!! If you don't make it you will be very close indeed - you've got nothing to lose except lbs of course :p Why not see what your WI is like this week. If you have another good loss carry on as...
  122. Dobbie

    Feeling a little sad.....

    Hey Hunni, Rather than seeing this as the end of CD and being on your own (which you aren't with us lot here!) why not see this as your new beginning? It's your chance now to own your new found body and look after yourself the way you deserve to be!! Cambridge was just the tool you used to...

    Hunger Pangs

    Pmsl .... me to!!! Well at nearly £2 a bar I'm gonna enjoy every mouthful!!! Been having my leftover shakes too as hot choc!! Mind you at 2 points a pack they are a bit more hefty on the points allowance than an options or highlight!! Decisions, decisions!!
  125. Dobbie

    Kickstart and less than 18 points ?????

    TY Starlight! :D I'll just forget about KS now and concentrate on how I'm going to spend my remaining 9 points for the day .... mmmm .... *Dobbie drifts off into a day dream of food food and more food* LOL!! x
  126. Dobbie

    Kickstart and less than 18 points ?????

    Well maybe it's me being a bit fick .... but if Kickstart is 18 points and I'm on 17 it would be a bit silly of me to do it as I'd be on more points each day? But wasn't sure whether there was a kickstart option if you are less than 18 iykwim!! Also wasn't sure whether it was a specific...

    Point values for CD shakes?

    Muhly I checked the points on shakes/bars etc ... shakes worked out as 2points, bars as 3 points. It was Gemma and her amazing loss that made me decide to change to WW! No point being on CD missing food and losing 2lbs per week when I could be over here, eating and losing the same/similar...

    Kickstart and less than 18 points ?????

    Hey Gang, Sorry if I am asking something that been posted a million times before (feeling too lazy to search the forum). If my points allowance is 17 presumably I can't do kickstart as the minimum points is 18?? Is that right?? Fanx, mwah x

    Hhmmm.... since sitting on my backside and eating isn't really an option for me I thought I might do 45-60 mins walking on the treadmill with a small incline. Also thought I might do a bit on the x-trainer, slow pace but a moderate intensity. Should burn stored fat instead of sugars. Also...

    Eating all your points....

    Oh I doubt I'll have any trouble eating my points :p:D Good luck for your WI - some good vibes for you that it's 12 stone something :vibes::vibes: x
  143. Dobbie

    Dobbie does WW!!

    Oh no!!!! LOL!!! Perhaps I should give myself permission to sit on my ass and eat all my points then!!! LOL!! I think maybe instead of running I should cut it back to walking - less strenuous and will hopefully help burn the fat too! Thanks for heads up!! x

    hi

    Good luck with WW! It's soooo simple you just need to keep tabs on your points ;). I bought the starter pack at my meeting on Saturday and I'm loving the journal - it helps you keep track of everything from points, exercise (bonus points), water, veg, milk ..... priceless in my opinion...
  149. Dobbie

    Dobbie does WW!!

    Hey guys, Well, having lost the first stone on CD I decided to swap to WW this weekend as boredom was setting in big time. I love CD and you do get rapid results but it's soooooooo hard being around food and not being able to eat. So I thought that it was better to take action and continue...
  150. Dobbie

    Boredom is setting in!

    Hey Guys, Just wanted to say thank you for all your replies! I took the plunge on Saturday and joined my local WW meeting. The extra calories have meant that I could walk the babies an hour each time on Saturday & Sunday. I hit the gym for a big session on Saturday and spent all day...

    Hey hun, thank you for your reply. I have tried the muffins & crisps and failed miserably :( Wasted 4 food packs and gave up trying!!! I do a lot of exercise CV & weights and am wondering whether beacuse of this I need more food? Just thinking that WW gives you exercise points. Just don't...

  155. Dobbie

    Point values for CD shakes?

    Hey Laurie, Did you change from CD to WW straight away? Did you get any water/glycogen regain, if so, how much? I'm just coming up to the end of my first week of 810 and I'm bored with green and white food LOL!!! But I'm scared to change to WW in case I gain a few lbs :(. xx
  156. Dobbie

    Point values for CD shakes?

    Hi, I think they are something like 3 points each?? I might have that completely wrong though. Best wait for someone in the know to confirm!!
  157. Dobbie

    Can I ask.....

    Hey, I cook OH whatever he wants!!! It really doesn't bother me what he's eating. I just think about all the carbs/fats etc in everything and conclude that I wouldn't want it anyways!! x

    Hope it works out for you chick ;) let us know how you get on xx
  161. Dobbie

    Need a little advice ...

    Hey hunni, Sounds like you could surely use the extra calories hunni!! Rather than jump straight up to 1000 why don't you try 810 - slightly bigger food portions than SS+ and big enough to split into 2 meals. Id' have one as lunch before work and the other during a break to keep you going...
  162. Dobbie

    can someone explain ss+ please

    Hey, Dancing is right - you have to stick to the same plan all week. Mix and match will just confuse your body!! I did SS+ for 2 weeks and loved it. Best of luck hun xx
  163. Dobbie

    please tell me theyll shrink a bit

    Very funny indeed .... I was looking very top heavy myself the first few weeks on CD. My bottom half shrunk much quicker than the rest, but I'm pleased to report that the last week the top half has started to catch up!! I now have (what I consider to be) saggy boobs .... empty sacks of...

    0 point soup

    hmmm not sure actually hun? They are either very low or because the soup makes so much the points work out to be much less than half! Don't forget to use pepper/herbs/spices to pep it up a bit! x
  167. Dobbie

    0 point soup

    Hey Gemma, I never used a receipe for it!!! I just used to chop a load of 0 point veggies (whatever I fancied really), cook them up in a load of veggie stock and add more water if necessary. I don't like lumps in soup so would always blend mine and add more water if necessary!! Try...
  168. Dobbie

    Ice creams ( yeah I know we had snow lol)

    Hey Laura, I'm currently on CD so not looking for the WW choc covered ones. But I think the last lot I had was either Morrissons or Sainsbury's?? I think they are 3 or 3.5 points each. Worth every point in my opinion!! Good luck, hope you find some! x

    Colonoscopy

    Hey melster, Never had it done, but my advice to you would be to try and not get too worried about it. If you get yourself in a state prior to the procedure you'll be tense by the time it comes round and things will be worse than they need to be. I'm sure you'll be fine, wishing you the best...

  173. Dobbie

    Ice creams ( yeah I know we had snow lol)

    Lost 2st 9lbs in 7wks - Cambridge Diet!

    Also forgot to add that if you exercise you need to up your water intake. Some people find exercise causes them to retain water - the extra water should help to banish that.
  177. Dobbie

    Lost 2st 9lbs in 7wks - Cambridge Diet!

    Good luck for your restart. The rule with exercise is that you should take it easy for the first couple of weeks to adjust to the low calorie content. After that you should be able to continue with your normal activity as usual (but listen to your body and do less or less strenuous activity...

    What should I believe?

    I have the same problem. My CDC weighs me in the evenings and I'm 4-5lbs heavier on her scales than mine in a morning. This is due to everything we drink during the day and the clothes we wear. I was quite happy with being weighed knowing that I'd be heavier from fluid consumed + clothes, but...

    cant get back into it

    Oh no hun!!! Sorry no hugs from me, just some tough love ;):D What you need to do is go find a mirror and give yourself a good old fashioned talking to!! You CAN do this, and you will. Look at your losses to date and how good you feel about them and just imagine how you will feel back in...

    ok... weird question about stubborn fat on a vlcd... ie saddle bags!

    Hmm ... I'm no expert, but what I do know is this. Being on a VLCD past a BMI of 25 increases your risk of burning lean muscle mass as you simply don't have to fat stores left to sustain yourself. So you can't stay on a VLCD forever .... Having said that I suppose you must still burn some...

    Any shake tips/tricks...

    I have all mine hot (but I only have choc & choc mint shakes) makes a gorgeous mug of hot chocolate!! The older style bars are gorgeous frozen. They go all hard & chewy and take forever to eat ;)

    Wots your average loss on 790?

    Hey there, I'm no expert (starting 790 next Tuesday) but I think average losses on 790 are around 12lbs per month vs. 14lbs per month on SS. However, everyone is different so it's hard to say for sure. Your body is probably just taking a while to adjust to the food. Hang in there and I'm...

    I got ill :(

    Arrhh hunni :hug99:you poor thing :( Can't say I blame you for the dry toast and digestives, no point in forcing a shake down for it to come straight back up:rolleyes:. Hope you feel better soon and ready to face SS again:flowers: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    In tears - help!!!

    Hey hun, Please don't cry :wave_cry:. I split all my packs in 2 and have 6/8 small meals each day. It's only ever a couple of hours between shakes and in between the shakes I glug water (10-12 pints per day). I have all my packs hot too which also seems to help me feel fuller :rolleyes...
  224. Dobbie

    Do you exercise?

    I am a member of a gym and go 3-6 times each week. While SS/SS+ I only do weights followed by gentle cardio (walk, swim, bike) for 30 mins. It's a mental thing for me, makes me feel very good about myself and I love the 'pumped up' feeling afterwards ;):D
  229. Dobbie

    Not half as bad as i thought...phew!

    Wow!! Well done you!! Considering what you have been up against that's brilliant :D

    Depression and CD

    Hey Leah, Sorry to hear you are feeling down :(. Some people do find that CD can trigger bouts of depression. CD may be one aspect of your feelings at the moment, but look at the bigger picture hunni. You have a whole stack of stuff on your plate at the moment, it's no wonder you are not...

    Help, my Yorkie is living on his nerves!

    Hey Barb, My year old yorkie boy, Onyx is the same. Very anxious little chap. He follows me everywhere (even to the toilet :rolleyes:) and jumps/trembles at the slightest noise. My puppy trainer recommended that I be very careful not to reinforce his fear by cuddling/fussing when he is...
  235. Dobbie

    Flatulence!

    Have you tried changing the food? My yorkies used to suffer (or should I say I used to have to suffer their stinks) and then I changed food. No they do the occassional one and that's only when they've got poorly tums ;) I use nature's menu wet food and burns mini bites biscuits.

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why not try SS+, you can have either 3 packs + 200 cal meal or 4 packs and 200ml milk. No point making yourself poorly with chewing/spitting hun (it's really not good either mentally or physically), try a higher plan for a week or so and if/when you feel ready move back down. Good luck...
