    SLIMMING FOR CHARITY!!

    I finally have a cast iron reason i must stick to this diet - the health implications, how i looked and how i felt, simply weren't enough to make me stick to anything. I am now however, not doing it for me - I'm doing it for someone else! I know they say you shouldn't lose weight for anybody...

    Morning Mystic! *waves* Another successful CD day in my house. Didn't cave - although at one point i bloody well wanted to!! lol And woke up this morning in a positive mood only enhanced by the fact that i jumped on the scales this morning (don't normally do this the day after weigh in but i...

    DAY 1

    I don't know what the official Cambridge line is on ss these days. I know it used to be 3 packs alone, but then someone told me (before i started) that they'd changed it to four packs and 200ml of milk... I'm quite happy sticking with three but will keep some extras in and if i want or need an...
  10. Rayven

    DAY 1

    Yeah I'm 5ft 5 - according to my CDC you have to be 5ft 6 to have 4 packs a day, so you probably should be on 3. But if four helps you get through the week then i say go for it. Once my first week is done i intend on keeping a few extra packs in just in case i need something extra. An extra pack...

    EVENING WEIGH IN....??

    I hate weighing myself in the evening as i don't think you get an accurate reading but thats the only time my CDC can see me. So do any of you have evening weigh ins and if so what time (if at all) do you stop drinking? :confused:
  16. Rayven

    All that stressing for nothing. Trust the diet hun! Well done on your fab losses. xx

    DAY 1

    Well done hun! Keep it going! I weigh in Thursday morning. Had a sneeky peek this morning and looks like i'm on for a whopping loss but i'm not counting my chickens as my CDCs scales may weigh slightly different to mine. Another day down. Two to go for our first ss full week! YAY!!!!

  21. Rayven

    FREEZING SHAKES???

    Probably a question for a CDC, but if i were to tip a small amount of my shake into a small lolly mould (would be small so it would freeze quickly) & froze it, would it take away any of the vitamin content? And would it be allowed? Just thought for those hot days or when we need something extra...

    DAY 1

    Sorry, forgot about this. lol My cdc says tablet sweeteners are fine, i've been having mine in black tea all week! (makes a change from water) As for the diet drinks, you're not supposed to have them as the citric acid stimulates your stomach and can make you hungry - they also claim that...

    2nd weigh in

    When your body loses a lot of weight quickly (as you've done) it tends to hold onto additional water to compensate. Maybe you've lost more fat but the scales aren't saying because of the extra water. The scales will catch up eventually. xx

    how can i stop binge eating?

    The problem being that 'most' people don't see binging as an eating disorder.

    Please can I come back?

    That seems really silly because surely being overweight means you're prone to developing those conditions anyway?! Stupid system if you ask me. xx

    Extra Easy v red and green

    If you were on lighter life before you started you were lucky not to have a gain on your first couple of weeks and your body really does need time to adjust to the dramatic changes in your eating patterns. Having said that i think you need to do whichever plan suits you. I tend to mix them up...

    Help I'm Struggling!

    I have to admit i'd be lost without my internet connection. I don't go to class as with four kids i'd rarely be able to make it so joined slimming world online. I think we all lose our path from time to time when dieting. The important thing is to tell yourself its just a blip and get back on...

    Anyone else doing SW and breastfeeding?

    I breast fed and did slimming world when i had my last baby. To be honest although the breast feeding does help with weight loss and you have a bit more leeway in what you eat - your body still reacts the same way to losing weight. It still has to adjust, your weight will still fluctuate due to...
