They were all purchased last Friday 21st I have 23 left over too so over a weeks worth if doing ss Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

are we allowed to 'sell' them on ourselves? like ebay e.t.c

i've emailed her but she will only take back the ones that are out of date before April, but having looked through at the dates something i never even thought to do before i had 7 porridges from her and the original flavour porridge which i got from her on 21st Jan was out of date on the 11th...

does anyone know what i can do with the products i have left over? i have about 23 which will just end up going out of date :S

i have just had a chat with my CDC and decided that i'm going to give cambridge a miss for the moment, i thought i was doing ok but after a really bad week things have gone from bad to worse. both financially and mentally this isnt the right time for me to be doing this, i've been so tired...

I don't have any of the books I did ask my CDC about it last time it was mentioned on here but she hadnt a clue what I was on about :s Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

if i even spelt it right lol i got some today from tesco (well its arriving later in the shopping) so am now wondering how many cups can you have a day of it? i'm really struggling this week with water so am hoping this is gonna be the answer to my prayers lol

well done on 2.5lbs thats a good loss, remember a loss is still a loss no matter how big or small and is better than a gain, i had a little cheat earlier so am not looking forward to weigh in on friday but if anything i think it makes you more determined to be 100% the following week :)

they use hand weights in a lot of the exercises but apart from that i cant really see that you would need anything else and a tin of beans would do as weights

thankyou for all your advice and support, as usual you guys are great at lifting the spirits, I will certainly look at adding another pack if I feel I need it or atleast my tin of tuna until I get sick of the taste of that lol thanks :)

I normally measure myself at 5ft8 (thats what i say if anyone asks how tall i am) but my original cdc said i was only 5ft6 so didn't need 4 packs a day

what effect would taking an extra shake a day have on weight loss tho? i know its only another 138 ish calories on top, i've had good losses in my first 2 weeks so dont want to undo that or drop to the 1-2lb loss a week that i was getting when on SW. do you think it would do any harm if i stuck...

I did think about that but I know that if i went up a plan and I start introducing a meal it will be disastrous, thats what I liked about SS no meals= no temptation to have too large a portion or to 'cheat'

having a really bad couple of days, all over the weekend my belly did nothing but rumble but i resisted the urge until sunday eve when I had some tuna to try and stop the rumbling. Woke up this morning feeling all positive went on the wii fit, had my first soup at 12 for lunch but by 2 i was...

my new cdc's scales and my scales have completley different readings we go off my scales now because there was such a huge difference and i'd been using them from when i started cd with my old consultant, i know weight fluctuates throughout the day but i weigh myself twice a day and i've never...

just wanted to know whether i need to take any multi vitamins or anything whilst doing cambridge, have to say the 2 links that were posted on the ''will my crash diet kill me'' thread have made me think about this for most of today :(

Hi Everyone had my weigh in this morning and thats another 13lb gone :) so pleased as i thought it wasnt going to be a lot. so 23lbs in 2 weeks am quite pleased about that, she said i need to now look at starting some gentle exercise to help increase the weight loss for next week, There was...

ty :D am soo pleased with it was worrying, she's now said i can start doing some more exercise too so hopefully that will help aswell

Woohooo 13lb off this week thats 23lb in 2 weeks! :D (lost an inch from the waist, hips & arms and 2 inches from the thighs!)

wow well done, thats fantastic bet your over the moon with that, i have my weigh in at 11am, not sure i've done that well tho

got my weigh in at 11am, am soo nervous i'm more nervous this time than i was on my first weigh in, really hope i've lost 'something' this week my scales seem to have been stuck since Sunday so am rather worried to say the least :(

cool, thanks for that i wasnt impressed with the way CD was portrayed last night on that programme, i sat here saying to my hubby 'thats soo not true', 'well thats not right' it has made me more aware of the amount of water that i need to force down tho, although i'm just about managing the...

something was mentioned on there about the later you 'eat' at night the more weight you will put on because your body burns calories/fat slower at night... Do you think this is the same for shakes? i currently have my last shake around 9pm so am wondering if i need to adjust this and try and...

Mine are the same! I jump on morning an night (and then any other time I'm near them) am really disheartened at the min as they aren't budging at all since last Sunday :( they must be broken lol Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

omg today i am really feeling the cold i have the heating on yet i'm still needing to sit in the house with my coat on to get any sort of relief from the coldness, arghh

i'm the same, always cold especially my hands, apparantly its a 'side effect' of the diet or so i was told

i've just had soup and it lacked something just wondered if we were allowed to add like mixed herbs, dried parsley, dried garlic that kinda thing into the soups?

Well Done, fab loss :)

yes its a workout video i downloaded it the other day was exhausted just watching it lol

Well done, bet the feeling is great to have finally reached your goal :)

yes it is I ordered it as my incentive a couple of days ago, that will be my dress for my birthday night out, cant wait till it arrives lol

Thanx, i'll go and get it now then

well I did think, do I now miss my last pack to compensate for the tuna? and well done for making a positive choice at the fish and chip restaurant, I wouldn't have thought about fish and taking the batter off, i'd have prob panicked and thought oh well its one night, so good on you

it was in water I only ever buy tuna in water even before CD, I know what it was it was because it was the last tin in the cupboard and it was burning a hole and just screaming eat me eat me haha doesn't make me wanna stop kicking myself tho :(

I dunno whats up with me I really don't, i've had some more tuna tonight and the worst thing is I didn't really need to have it, it was just because it was in the cupboard, I haven't felt hungry for the last couple of days now so why did I go an eat it......grrr god I could kick myself. :mad...

well this has inspired me i've just ordered some tetras with my new CDC for friday when she comes to visit so next week i shall hopefully be able to try this ice cream... cant wait yummy!

hi ladies :) Bella i think it was 'size 16 will do' that mentioned the classes that her CDC runs, mine comes out to my house now and my old one i went to her. I had porridge for the first time this morning, wasnt keen tbh had the apple and cinemon one but i kinda got distracted while i was...

For me it's because of the fast results, and you can completely take food out of your diet to avoid temptation and there are no risks to you health in doing so :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

If you go into settings there's a separate settings section for the forum near the bottom of the settings page, click that and you can turn the photo and signatures off n on :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

There must be something in the air seems a few of us are feeling the same tonight Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I soo hope your right lol I do feel better now, felt very drained and tired before, daft i know it was only tuna, I do wonder just how much of the 'hunger' is psychological tho and I think that's going to be the biggest hurdle to get over. I don't plan to have any more I will stick it out...

I though once ketosis hit the hunger went? I seem to be craving food lots the last couple of days and have up until now resisted, even managed to resist having anything when we visited a macdonalds restaurant lol normally if I'm hungry I do something to occupy my mind or if it's late enough go...

So is it a bit like bovril/marmite then? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Have done SS 150% for 7 days but tonight my belly is just grumbling and will not stop, i've had a bit of tuna, am so peed off with myself for caving in after so long, Will this tuna effect my ketosis? Friday night is always treat night and I think that's what done it :( Sent from my iPhone...

it is hard work but you just do what you can they dont force or put pressure on you to do anything you dont want to, but god you ache sooo much for like the next week afterwards lol it really is a brilliant day out.

muhly - go ape is fantastic its a wicked day out you'll love it

at the risk of sounding thick what is it? lol

just curious as to what everyone will treat themselves with once they hit their target weight? For me its looking like it could now be a holiday for my 30th :D (only in the uk but still a holiday is a holiday lol) and.... when i reach goal i get to have my new tattoo, been promising it...

Well done that's brill, :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

ty :) am now going out but i can see i will have a big smile on my face all day lol

Morning, had my weigh in and............ going by her scales its a 10lb loss :D......on my scales its a 13lb loss (she said that because of me being weighed on different scales last week (my old CDC) then we cant really see how accurate the loss was, but i've weighed myself on my scales...

ty everyone :) Wilma yes its my 30th so i have a 'mini' goal for then i dont expect to be at target by 25th April tho

hehe i dont know which one to go with :confused: i guess the official one will be better as that will then be consistent throughout the plan now so think i will go with that one :)

going by her scales its a 10lb loss :D......on my scales its a 13lb loss (she said that because of me being weighed on different scales last week (my old CDC) then we cant really see how accurate the loss was, but i've weighed myself on my scales when i got back from the CDC last friday and...

:D Can't wait, she's coming at 9am so only half hour to go am sooooooooo excited hehe still cant believe i've done this for 7 days now :eek:

well done and soo not a pointless post, 14lbs is a huge achievement well done :)

i said the same thing the other day there seems to be loads but then i'm prob looking for them more now than what i did before i started CD, have to say food on the tv doesnt bother me never really has

thanks for all the replies, am still not quite sure what i am going to say but am sure i will figure something out in the morning, Minnimel - i can totally relate to the things you just said when i had my first visit it was pretty much the same thing, the first thing she said was that she...

you basically take one/two depending on how bad it is (i took 2) before bed then within 12 hours voila! lol

yes dulcolax is a tablet they are so small you dont even need water to take them they just slide down :)

i use dulcolax (think thats how it spelt) took one last night and urm yeah def worked this morning :p lol

My hubbys just off up the chippy to get himself a Kebab :( sooo unfair am soo hungry tonight :(

Happy Birthday and well done on the loss :)

yes my first ever weigh in on CD, cant wait my trousers already feel big so am hoping for a good loss, if i dont get a good loss i'll prob just curl up and eat chocolate! lol

Good Luck, i have my first weigh in tomorrow too, i'm soooo excited

Aww what an awful day for you, keep strong. My hubby contracted meningitus a few years ago on xmas eve, we'd got a 9 month old at the time and i was panic stricken that my son would get it too, the docs were very helpful tho and they just told us to keep an eye out for any symptoms to develop...

Thanks Vonny, i cant believe tomorrow i will have done a full week, its not been easy but am so glad i've got there. My new CDC is coming to see me at 9.45am so i will be weighing in earlier than i should be, i just need to tell my old CDC now that i am no longer using her... should be fun...

i'm the same but i just crave a sandwich, dont really mind what filling but i just want to eat some bread! lol when i'm having my soup in an evening i just want to grab some bread and 'dunk' it in mmmmmmmmmmm

yeah i'm due to see her tomorrow at 2pm for my first weigh in but now my new CDC is coming at 9.45am to do it and bring me my next weeks 'meals' i might just text n say i'm not feeling well, i know its the cowardly way out but you cant exactly tell someone your not using them anymore because of...

i've been told by my new CDC that we can have coke zero especially if your struggling with the water intake like i am, she also said we can have flavoured water, said she drank it throughout her whole 'diet' (she's now maintaining) but i'm not so sure on the flavoured water side surely that has...

Wow thats amazing well done to you, fantastic first week :)

been having a few probs with my current CDC so today i have contacted a new one and as of today i'm now with the new CDC and she is going to do my weigh in tomorrow for me, thing is i havent a clue what to say to the 'old' one, has anyone else ever changed CDC's?

Hiya Morning hope your feeling better soon Charley, have to say i think i've been lucky apart from some mild headaches thats all i've really had to deal with. Today i'm off to speak to a new CDC (not happy with my current one) and hopefully she will be able to take me on instead, quite...

Hi Vonny Hang in there your doing really well and your right once you get into the smaller sizes thats proof that this is working and will give you the will power to carry on and get even smaller. I havent tried the bars as yet (i'm only on week 1 so dont think they are allowed) but its...

Well Done, fantastic loss :)

when you split it into 3 servings do you still use the 225ml of water to mix it with or do you use less?

i was going to ask the same, the bad breath is doing my nut in at the moment would just be nice to have minty breath without having to clean my teeth 5 or 6 times a day lol

god am so glad to see i'm not the only one haha, i jump on the scales whenever i'm in the upstairs bathroom (we have a downstairs toilet too) so about 3/4 times a day at the mo i'll jump on, last night i had a rocky moment but getting on the scales just proved to myself that this is working and...

i have to say i'm a soup fan, i've tried 4 of the flavours so far and i love them, chicken and mushroom, spicy tomato, vegetable and potato and leek, all yummy! gonna have mushroom tonight i think then i've tried them all, not really keen on hot spicy stuff so havent tried the oriental chilli one

i got some yesterday and it wasn't nice but then i'm a fussy mare with things like that, i dont drink tea often tho only coffee, know what you mean tho about wanting something different to drink other than just water and black coffee, sorry not much help lol

Hope you have a safe flight Bella, I'm Now onto day 5 had a bit of a wobble last night really wanted to eat with the family but I didn't give in! I thought this was meant to get easier as the week went on? Lol felt fab up till last night not quite sure what's happened today! oh well am lookin...

You could always add an extra soup or shake for 1 day If you need it :)

I normally go for twinings as I like their fruity teas but they hadn't got any when I went shopping today, is it nicer?

For me I chose SS purely because it took out the option for food and for me to say like you oh a little of this won't hurt and a little of that won't make a difference, I don't think I could start introducing food yet I'd just want to binge, you could try it as you said for a week and see how...

Well I had my first rocky moment tonight, sat and cried cus I wanted chicken salad for tea with the rest of the family lol feel a bit daft about it now, I text my CDC to say I was having a tough evening and could i eat anything (even though in my mind i didn't want to eat) and the response I...

I think it depends on your personal taste tbh I took one sip n went to throw it away was horrid but hubby managed to drink half before he said he'd had enough, I know some of the ladies on here drink it so it depends if you like that kinda thing, was only 75p from Morrisons for 20 bags lol

Urgh how vile does that taste lol back to the water and black coffee I think :(

can we have any other flavours?

Just wanting to check i got the right one before i make a cuppa its green tea & mint am i ok to have this one? its a morrisons own brand one says its a blend of the finest green teas combined with natural peppermint thanks :)

Hi and ty Lovelyle, i'm def in the right frame of mind this time am determined to shed these pounds, am loving the diet and not phased too much by watching others eat so feeling really positive this morning and have bags of energy lol

wow well done thats fantastic :)

have hit ketosis today too (may have done yesterday but i didnt test) but have tested this morning and def there so things should get easier from now right? lol

Well done 7lb is a very good loss for a week :)

I might try it one day then if it's not too spicy! Woohhooo day 4 for me and I feel fantastic got sooo much energy this morning it's actually quite scary! Am out all day today so I'm off to get me a few small bottles of water to take with me.

Wow well done on 12lb's great achievement to have lost that much :)

Is the oriental the chilli one? I avoided that one really don't like hot spicy things so gave it a miss

I tried the choc hot and wasn't keen tbh have just had the mint choc OMG it's lush lol have to say I'm liking these shakes and especially the soups a lot more than I thought I would , bring on Friday for weigh in :D

Ok I tried it cold tonight and LOVE it def will give it a go hot next time, I've only got the one so will def be a flavour I plan to get on Friday when i get weighed yummy!

Hi there, This is my first attempt at CD... successfully made it to day 3 and day 4 is nearly here :) am actually feeling rather good, a few slight niggly headaches but overall am feeling really good, i've tried a few of the shakes, i like the strawberry, the chocolate is manageable but i'm...

feel free to add me the icon should be by my pic, tell me who you are tho if you add me i'm not good with putting faces to names lol

cold it is then lol i can just about stomach the chocolate cold n thought last night ooo i'll warm it have hot choc before bed, urgh it wasnt good had to wash it down with a pint of water and as it was bed time ended up peeing all night long :( lol

all mine are sat eating sausages, mash, yorkshire puds, sweetcorn and gravy :(

I am having my first mint choc shake this evening but i cant decide whether to have it hot or cold :confused: I warmed a normal choc shake last night and really wasnt impressed much prefer that one cold. which way do you prefer it... hot or cold?

thats always in the back of my mind determinator, the extra shake, i'm still workin out the timing of mine but at the min i have one at 11am/12pm, then one at 6pm and one at 8/9pm although its not a long time between my 6pm and 8/9pm one i find the evening when i'm watching tv is the hardest bit...

i dunno how anyone can drink 4L of water a day i'm just about managing my 2.25L lol

have to say i'm the same at the min, am just drinking lots of water... i'm on day 3 just had to make tea for the kids and it was hard Keep thinking positive tho you can do it :)

Have just checked and my starting bmi, not that i'd like to admit it is 46 lol

Mine is over 40, cant remember what it is exactly as my cards at home but I started straight away without a docs signature

Ah didn't realise it went on your post count thanx for that, well I've managed to add 3 weeks to my sig so that's ok for the time being, Overall it's going well ty, the support from this forum is helpin no end tbh, am half way through day 3 and apart from a mild headache I feel great, food...

sorry to crash your thread do you have any team spaces left? yours was the last team offering spaces when i looked on the vacancy thread :)

My first dealing with food since starting with CD has gone well (hubby prepped all food over the weekend), just made my little one a packed lunch sandwich, crisps, cucumber and pepper sticks, grated carrot and a biscuit and i didnt nibble a thing, not even licked my fingers, woohoo

i think it can vary from consultant to consultant but mine works out to £38 per week

Hi Charley, i'm new to the forum and on day 3, feeling ok at the moment am off out later so that will help, you had a fantastic loss before am sure you can do it again :)

How do i add my losses so far and mini goals, i've been into the signature part in the user cp and wrote out what i wanted to put but it tells me i only have 500 words and that what i've written is too long :rolleyes:

Thanx, i have to make this work so i have to find ways to keep myself occupied and not give in to the hunger, am off to see my CDC today to get some more soups as i only picked up 2 to try when i saw her last week, am also going to be introducing a little more exercise from today gonna do an...

I've found that today actually while I was hungry especially tonight I've done some cross stitch that took my mind off it and I felt fine after, I think my mind is thinking of food at every given opportunity at the min but my belly isn't rumbling anymore So that's a good sign lol

i felt really good today seemed to have bags more energy and was generally 'happier' in myself, i'm only finding i feel hungry at night, does the hunger feeling really dissappear once you hit ketosis?

ok thanks think i may have to, that crept on a wee bit quickly

woah where did that headache creep up from.... :(

Congrats on getting through the first week and wow what a fantastic loss you've had, well done :)

Thought as much lol, am just having my last shake of the evening a hot choc shake and i managed to get down my 2L of water so thats day 2 over and done with :)

Well done thats really good for 2 weeks, cant wait for my first weigh in :)

Just a though and will prob be a no but can we have flavoured water that you buy from the shop?

Ty for the advice, wow 4L well done that's an achievement in itself I think I will do better once I have the flavouring I've never been a big drinker either so this for me is worse than the hunger feelings

I can't wait to have water flavourings but they are week 3 so got a while until I get that lol My CDC has told me I need to drink my water and cant stress enough how important it is but urgh water lol Starting to feel hungry again now but then it's tea time, hubby is cooking sausages and thy...

Hi No not in ketosis yet :( I am really struggling to drink all this water tho yesterday I managed just to drink 2L plus what was in the coffee I had and extra in my shakes, but today I'm not even half way through my 2L bottle

I have a couple of sticks that my CDC gave me but didn't expect to be in ketosis that soon so haven't tested as yet, will give one a try and see, I only ever used to eat an evening meal before starting CD and very rarely ate before 2pm anyway so my carb intake was never huge.

Woooohoo Day 1 down! Here's to day 2 tomorrow thank god it's Sunday get to have a lie in so not as long a day as today has been lol

Well done to you for the will power, i'm just finishing Day 1 and have to say i cant wait to get in 'the zone' i'm struggling especially tonight but am sure i'll get used to it lol

Is it normal to have a weird taste in your mouth and dry lips on day 1?

thanks for the advice, i def have no plans to give up as you say i just need to find the right shake for me and once i've done that i will prob be ok. my CDC did show me the ready mades but didnt realise they were called tetras... now i know! lol am def going to swap my summer fruits one for...

sorry if i sound a bit thick, what are tetras? have seen them mentioned a couple of times on here but am not sure what they are. The chocolate shake def went down easier than the forest fruits this morning, i'll be happy if i can find just one that i like and knowing me i will prob stick to...

no i haven't got a drinks bottle yet, have filled up an empty 2L bottle with water and fridged that tho so i know how much i'm drinking. Have just had my choc shake... please someone tell me you get used to the taste of these shakes? i managed to finish it within the 15 mins this time unlike...

she said i cant have the water flavourings till i'm in week 3, by which time i'll prob be used to the water anyway lol

Thanks for the advice i will def take it all on board, am not a lover of water i have to say so its taking me a while to get through it (am on my 3rd glass today) much prefer my squash, am starting to feel a bit peckish now tho and my belly is rumbling quite a bit, am going to try one of the...

ooo i had no idea your supposed to drink them within 15 mins, my CDC said i could make it up drink half at say 8am then half at 10am if i found them too much to begin with, am trying a choc shake this afternoon so hoping that will go down a bit easier, do you just make yours using the 225ml...

Morning, :) well i had my first shake, the forest fruits one.. wasnt overly keen had to really water it down to be able to drink it, ended up with a pint of it in the end which then took about an hour n half to drink lol am not a morning eater/drinker, infact i usually go all day without...

Have been reading this forum for a couple of days now and finally had my long awaited consultation this afternoon so thought it was about time i signed up, i'm all set to start in the morning, i'm starting on SS (for my sins) but after reading through so many inspirational threads on here i am...
