Does anyone alternate SS and SS+? I had 2 days of SS+ last week, but I think I have read on here somewhere that it is better to do one or the other, is that true?

Thanks for the replies both! I think I was just having a bit of a 'moment' earlier and half convincing myself the diet didn't suit me and maybe I should try something slower. Luckily I had to get off my backside and get to work and found that I have enough energy when I need it and that's all...

Coming to the end of my third week on Cambridge and I am so tired.. has anyone else found this? I read a lot of comments about people having more energy, but I honestly feel like if I didn't HAVE to get up I could sleep all day. I wake up better in the mornings but by 5 - 6pm I feel done in...

Just had my second shake and feeling better than I was. I know what you mean about the brain though.. it is a hard habit to break. Walked through town to get home for lunch and it was hard seeing lots of food.. feeling more hungry today, maybe because I ate yesterday? Had a bit of a feel sorry...

I'll join you! Have been a bit poor with my water intake the last few days.. so far I have managed 1 shake and about 2 litres - 1.5 of water and 0.5 of peppermint tea! Had a SS+ day yesterday and it was nice, but my brain is thinking of food today.. going to stick to just packs from now on I...

Aw Red, as the others have said, I hope you're ok? :hug: It most definitely is his loss! And I can jump on the hypochondriac wagon with you, I am awful for it.. epecially late at night when there i no-one around to straighten me out.. I can convince myself of all sorts! How have you gotten on today?

OMG that is major control and will power! I had a SS+ day today.. felt weird to eat again! I was worried about not being able to stop after having a taste but I think I actually feel more secure knowing where I am with having 3 products instead of weighing and stopping. How are you finding doing...

Both those plans sound great to me. Looking through my wardrobe it is so clear at what sizes I was most confident as I have loads of stuff.. current size I have a few staples and that's it! Looking forward to rediscovering some things! Sorry to hear about the difficult questions.. I have managed...

That sounds like a plan, I have quite a lot of clothes around my target weight and then what I have now..not a lot in between! Guess just wishing the weeks away!

Thank you - that's good to hear and something to bear in mind - especially as I am feeling that the weight has gone from both those places too so far!

Hi all, I am currently doing SS on Cambridge but considering moving to Exante (although worried about the flavours and having to figure out my likes and dislikes again etc). I have been thinking of starting the 30 Day Shred and while I know some people have previously done it on SS I was...

That's great! I have quite a big size gap in my wardrobe so the few pieces of clothing I wear now are a little loose.. but then the rest is way too small. Debating whether to go out and buy new things now or to wait. Tried to replace my current jeans but couldn't get into anything a size smaller...

I was feeling a little slimmer.. but got a bit grumpy in the shops as my current jeans look silly and baggy so wanted to try a size down.... nothing would fit?! Refuse to buy a pair of jeans in the same size as I don't see the point.. will just wait a few more weeks looking like a teenage boy ;)

I am def going to have to think about it, the fact that there is no aspartame in Exante products appeals to me too. I will need to wait until I get paid before I buy in bulk though. I guess I shouldn't be too worried about the products since there are still some I am trying on CD that I don't...

You're def right, just sat down and had my soup.. feeling better for it :)

Had second weigh in and weight that hadn't moved for a few days had again shifted.. going to try hard to not weigh inbetween now!! Feeling hungry.. well no.. it's more that I feel like eating today. We're going to the cinema later and would usually eat before or after and the devil on the...

I feel like that too! I was about to ask about it because I know a lot of people say they have more energy but although I wake and get out of bed fine by early afternoon the yawns start and it wasn't even 8.30 when I looked at the time last night thinking 'it must be bed time'!!

How have you found today? :)

Congrats on fitting into your dress today too :D

I'm doing Cambridge SS at the moment.. I saw an offer on a certain website for an Exante deal and have been considering switching to that.. but now that I know what I like with this one I am a little reluctant to change.. hmm. It's just I don't feel I get a lot from my weigh in's currently -...

Goddess like girlfriends.. I like that.. I will have to tell him later that he'll benefit from the good things that come with waiting too, hehe. Although he probably wouldn't agree as I am sure it will invlove lots of new clothes.. which I think are justified because I live in the same couple of...

Congratulations on reaching your goal!! Amazing transformation!!

Wow, you look great! You are definitely not "too fat to boast"!!! Very inspirational :)

Hi :wavey:Just read through your diary and I wanted to say wow well done!! You have a fab way of putting things and I love the motivation bit at the end of your posts :D Couldn't help giggling with not seeing your other half and fearing knocking him out, I have felt exactly the same this week...

I did something similar today, saw a pair of skinny jeans in the sale which I could never wear now and thought 'sod it' and bought them to enjoy when I get there!

That's great to hear, I planned on doing 100% SS for the 12 weeks but there are a couple of things coming up where I was thinking it would be much easier to have a SS+ day but I worried about it slowing losses too.. this has completely put me at ease :)

I haven't had a baby but as I want to lose 7 stone I am worried about my skin. There is a thread about saggy skin http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-faq-general-information/218723-saggy-skin.html and people have recommended Palmers Cocoa Butter and another person mentioned specifically...

Easier said than done, but try not to focus on the scales.. sticking to it 100% is a fantastic achievement in itself! Having said that, it's not easy.. I was bordering on obsessive my first week with jumping on scales thinking 'this had better be working!' But what I did find was that my weight...

Thanks, got some of this today.. going to try and use a dry body brush daily too :)

That's a really good way of looking at it, I have previously gotten down hearted when the losses have slowed and I don't want that to happen now.. you're def right that it's the sticking to it that is important. It feels good to be 100%, and I agree it's easier not having to think 'I can have a...

Had my first weight in and lost 10.5lbs :D

Wow :eek: that is fantastic! I'm currently on day 3.. came across your diary and was interested to see how you had gotten on as we are the same height (although I am starting out heavier!) and the idea that if I carry this on 100% I could potentially be in your shoes in 4 weeks is so inspiring!!

You can do this! I know it's hard but keep thinking about the scales and why you're doing this.. picture yourself IN those jeans and what that person would be saying to you. Might sound a bit crazy but last night I was struggling at work and I sat and imagined the slimmer me saying 'Yeh, I get...

You are definitely right and I think when I get to the point where I have lost a lot and people make comments along the lines of 'wow, you have lost loads of weight how did you do it?' I would probably be happy to say. Just need those results first ;)

I'm keeping it quiet too with just my boyfriend knowing.. first test is tonight going to work though!

I take it back about liking all the flavours so far.. just had leek and potato soup.. blurgh, tasted more like cheese and broccoli and wasn't very nice!

No I don't do them permenantly and it's usually just a one off here and there which makes it a bit more difficult in general trying to decide when to eat etc. I'm sure it will be fine. I have had a shake this morning and before a night I usually try and sleep for a couple of hours, so when I get...

Feeling better today thank you, more determined if anything.. and positive.. looking forward to feeling more comfortable in lovely weather like today instead of still covering up! Still need to figure out what the best time is to have my shakes etc, espcially tonight as I am working a night...

I have done a similar thing to this.. I have two glasses on the window in the kitchen and I bought a bag of coloured stones that you can put in the bottom of vases.. I have counted out the number of pounds I want to lose and put that number of stones in one glass and then each week as I weigh in...

Just opened up that link, thank you! I am looking forward to giving it my best.. just having a wobble sat here after finishing my last pack for the day and smelling my bf cook his food for tonight! But instead of concentrating on that I'm choosing to come on here and do exactly what you...

I have started today.. for the first time. Feeling apprehensive about it all to be honest.. suddenly the 10 week initial goal I had seems very far away!

Sorry, I just realised I read the sticky thread wrong, I thought it was 19 to 25 units for up to 11st 13lbs etc, and you had to decide which one to go for... but it's not, one is female and the other is male :rolleyes:

Hi, I started slimming world 3 weeks ago (though it's not my first time) and I was just wondering if anyone knows how you calculate the nunber of units a day you can have on the fast forward plan? I know that the plan alone works wonders but I have something special coming up and wouldnt mind...
