I have porridge twice a day and it's yummy! The real trick is to blend it into a smooth paste with a little hot water first then gradually add the rest of the water. It comes out perfect everytime, and I don't have to use a blender. Good luck! Joz x

Hey Alli, it was only two weeks ago that I was in your shoes. Stay positive and use the forum as much as you need to get you through the rough days ahead. I'm sure your results will be great if you stick with it! Joz x

This is exactly the type of loving support that keeps me going. Thank you so much darlings!xx:D I felt like that too but now I'm just happy I actually got off my butt and started! :)

Hey beautiful ones, I've lost 5lbs this week which adds up to a stone in two weeks! I've never lost weight so quickly on SS before. I am totally convinced it's because of the support I get on here... so, thank so much you are a lovely bunch!!! Joz xxx :grouphugg:

It's a little silver vibrator shape like a bullet -very cute and does definitely what it says on the box!:D Thanks for all the purchasing info, Hunnies! I'm going to order one today! I love my Kitchen Aide blender but it's a real pain to clean. Joz xx:grouphugg:

:rotflmao: Hi Asa, The Magic Bullet also sounds good;). I never heard of these before, where did you purchase it?

Wow Foosey! That awesome news!:553::bliss::talk017::wow::angel09: I'm so happy for you!:D Keep it up Doll! *BIG HUGS*:grouphugg: Joz xx

Hi mini minx, I can not see a reason why you should not be able to take antihistamines while on SS. Is it in pill form or syrup? If it's not a sugar free syrup it could stall your ketosis otherwise it's fine. Check with your CDC or GP to be absolutely sure but I've take allergy meds when I was...

Aww thank you so much Foosey! I'm feeling a bit tired today and your support means sooo much! I'm so happy to here that your sticking to it and now into full ketosis!:553: Witchy, I know how you feel about smelling bbqs...I'm surrounded by them too!lol Since you're at three weeks, the time is...

Hey Fenix! I was so glad to hear from you! I sent you an email to catch up! I meant to post my WI info here on Friday but I forgot. I'm still 100% SS. I had my first weigh-in Friday and I lost 9lbs! My CDC was very shocked I could lose that much because my bmi is under 30. She wants to know...

To: Asa, Broxi,Eternalflame, Louielou, Witchy and Zoe, Yesterday I posted that I wanted to join and totally commit to this group but sadly today I realize that I cannot join.:cry: I do not feel that I have the time to really commit to a large number of people in this way. I also realize that...

Hey Broxi and Nikki, How are you? I've got a serious grump on because this is the worst time for me as I am a dedicated late night snacker.lol Anyway, I'd like to throw a couple of names in the hat. "The Losers" "The Skinny Minis"

I'm happy and honored to be apart of the "Determined Dieters" group (or whatever we choose to call it!:) Broxi, You have my vote for a new thread with our buddy/support group's tile as its heading. I think Asa, has made a valid point about not letting the thread get so long that it becomes...

Thank you so much Witchy and Louie lou! Whew! It's a relief not to have to go this alone or with unreliable support.:D

Hey Girls, Is it too late to join you guys? I'm just beginning week 2. I'm a bit depressed because my other support buddies seem to have vanished without a trace. You guys seems serious about succeeding so I'd love to be in your support group.:) Joz x

Congratulations Debichap! You're a star!!! :talk017::bunnydance::banana dancer::stickdance::woohoo::wee::party0023:

:character00238:Hi Broxi, I know how you feel because I felt the same the first time I was on ss with LL. I've only been on CD for a week but I was on LL 100% SS for 16 weeks. I was about 190lb at the beginning and 135lb when I stopped. I kept it off for well over a year. Weeks 1-2: The first...

Hey Louie lou, Shelz, Sarette and Watergirl- Thank you guys so much! :grouphugg: :D:fyi:Watergirl -Yes I am grinning all over but not as much as my CDC- she had goose bumps she was so happy for me! Joz xxx

Hi all, I'm sitting here in complete shock because I've lost a whopping 9lbs this week! I know loads of people have lost a lot more than that during their first week on SS but it's the most I've ever lost in a week. This isn't my first time SS-ing either as I did LL for about 16 weeks a few...

Hi Foosey! I'm sending you good vibes for tonight, you're so brave to go out on your first day on SS! Tomorrow I will complete my first week on SS. I'm no expert on CD but I did manage to do 100% SS on LL for almost four months. If I can do that it anyone can!:) Try to drink at least 4 pints of...

Hi Girls! How's it going today? I hope you're all having a 100% SS day! :character00238: I'm feeling really wonderful today! I went out last night and only drank bottled water. I accidentally asked for lemon slices & ice in my glass not remembering that the lemon could knock me out of ketosis. I...

Hip Hip Hooray for Fenix!!!:worthy::clap::happy096::wow::talk017:

Oh girls, I forgot to mention that I saw my CDC yesterday to exchanged 5 packs of shakes for 5 packs of porridge. I'm so addicted to the CD-porridge! lol:) I know some people hate it but the Porridge is wonderful for people on SS because it's filling, takes away the desire for solid food and...

Hey Reena, Are you feeling better today? Let me know how you are. I'm sending you, Fenix and Debichap lots and lots of hugs, love and big support! Joz xxx

Hey Mumto4, I wonder if it's a sure sign that you're almost in ketosis if your SS-ing symptoms get really bad? Yesterday was my 4th day and I felt horrible (really starving, shaky, weak, confused, sick and grumpy) all day until around 10pm. Then out of the blue the hunger just vanishedand I...

Disguise -Jagstar FYI: I skipped the one above because it didn't have any connection to previous song because Elvis is the singer not the song title.

Darling Reena, Take comfort in knowing that you have managed to SS 100% for four days, which means you can easily accomplish it again. Two pieces of toast will not put you back to square one, it wasn't like you ate the whole loaf! I've remembered something that could help: when type 2 diabetics...

Good morning girls, I hope everyone had a 100% SS weekend! I did despite my hunger. I'm feeling a lot better today...I got through yesterdays dreaded diet-madness! My CDC has suggested that I go on 4 packs a day because I'm over 5'8. She thought my calorie intake with three packs were too low...

Hei girls! How's your weekend going? I've been okay...very low in spirit, tired and very very hungry. I keep trying to remind myself that these feelings are a normal part of being on SS but I still really want real food! It doesn't help that I have to go cook dinner now...I really wish I could...

oops...whites

Yesterday was my first day and I had the porridge for dinner. It was so yummy and filling! I plan on having it twice a day from now on!:)

Hi girls! Here's a late night 1st day SS-ing update: I made it through first day 100% SS...but it was really hard between 5-7pm! I had tetra brik for breakfast, toffee & walnut mousse for lunch and CD-porridge for dinner. I was grumpy a lot of the second half of the day but I had a coffee...

Hey girls, How is everyone doing today? I'm on the SS wagon now and it's been good so far! I've just finished my first tetra brik...it tastes like evaporated milk!LOL:) I've also had two pints of water. I don't have a real appetite today anyway as I was a little piggie last night. I have no...

When I was SS-ing on LL ,I noticed that I lost a lot more weight if I made sure I was drinking a lot of water (at least two litres a day). Drinking a good amount of water while ss-ing is very important because it flushes out the excess water retention and toxins. Also keeps your body functioning...

Hi Reena, Here's a Xtra *hug* for you! I think you're doing the right thing...I'll mail you tomorrow. Joz x

Hey girls, I've had internet problems all day so I couldn't drop in earlier. I see it's been a difficult day for some of us. I hope tomorrow is better as I will be joining you SS-ing. Everything went fine with my CDC...in fact she's awesome! Sleep well girls as tomorrow is another day to begin...

Well, you've come to the right place, we're all SS re-starters (read my original post.) What are you finding the most difficult about it this time around?

Welcome Debichap! How is your first week going?

Dear Reena, Please don't feel ashamed...just enjoy the chocolates today begin anew tomorrow.:)x

Fenix, I'm so sorry you don't feel well;( but I'm so happy your weigh in went well! I'll email you more in a bit!xx Reena, I got your email & emailed you back!xx

Hi Witchy & Villarosie, Welcome to CD love!:D Witchy, How is your second week going so far? Villarosie, don't worry if you can't begin CD next week. You're welcome to join in while you're waiting. Three months after giving birth sounds a little soon to start a VLCD. Your body maybe depleted...

Good going Renee, you've pretty much made it through your first day!Hurray!:D Try carrying a pint size glass of water or litre bottle around with you all day. Get in the habit of refilling it whenever it's empty.The water will also fill you up and keep your energy levels high.xx You will make...

Fenix, I've sent you an email!:)

Hi Emma! Thanks so much! I’m quite excited about it especially after looking at your success! CD seems to work amazing well!

Good morning Fenix & Renee! I’m sending you both waves of love and support today. I feel bad that I’m not ss-ing with you yet. I am still having meal replacement shakes from Celebrity Slim so I’m having only little more calories than you guys. Renee, I was always told that it’s actually...

Btw, I'll still be checking on here everyday for general post from you but if you want a private discussion use my email. Nite:)

Hi Fenix & Renee, So much thanks to you both! Sorry I'm so late replying but I just lost the long message I posted on here to you both because MMs logged me out while I was typing..so I'm a little annoyed.:( I'm way too vexed to rewrite it all and MMs doesn't allow me to access your profiles to...

Hi Fenix, Let me begin by saying, thank you for being my CD buddy. It will be a long haul but we will achieve our goals. A wedding is probably the best motivators for weight loss so you will definately get there! I just spoke with my CD counselor and I'll have my first meeting Thursday evening...

Thanks for the support CW, your weight loss has been amazing! you look awesome!XX

Hi everyone! I am looking for a support buddy or two for my CD journey. I know for experience having at least one person to depend on for support and encouragement makes the experience more successful. I promise to check-in once everyday to give support and encouragement to my CD buddy/buddies...

Thanks girls for the love and support! The LWWF food from DC is good so it hasn't been too difficult getting back on the "wagon"!:) JanBow you are so right, the focusing is really helping me to think positively during this very difficult time. Taking care of myself is the opposite of what I...

Hi Girls, It's been a while since my last post, I've been mourning the unexpected illness and death of an immediate family member. So dieting has been the last thing on my mind recently. Although I'm still quite upset, I don't want my comfort eating to get out of hand so I'm back on DC starting...

Thanks Ellie, I'm glad you're still feeling good in week 2. I also wish total success for you..the fact that ur still feeling good in week 2 is a good sign! DC is a walk in the park compared to how I felt day 1 on LL. I was ready to eat a chair by the end of the first day!LOL:))) i agree with...

Great job on the weight loss isie! It's really encouraging to read about your success. I began my DC plan today. Breakfast was great for me because I've been eating Lizi's granola for ages and love it. So it felt like my normal breakfast and I had the spicy beef & tomato soup for lunch...Wow! I...

Hi Everyone, I've just received my DC hamper and everything looks really good! I'm really impressed by the packaging but as they say: "the proof is in the eating!" I'm expecting, from your comments, that everything will taste as good as it looks! Since it only arrived at 4pm I'll start in the...

Thanks so much for the warm welcome and support... I'm just so excited to be here and finally be a participating member! Irene, I'll definately be posting my results on the DC thread.:))) Joz xx

Hi everyone, You guys are so inspiring! So inspiring in fact that I have ordered a months supply of food from Diet Chef! I did LL for two months last year and lost 2.5st but I had to leave the program early because I developed gallstones. Still, I had no problem keeping the weight off...

I'm Joz and I joined the forum ages ago but I was too shy to post anything. I did LL for two months last year and lost 2.5st. I left LL early because I developed gallstones as a result of it. Still, I had no problem keeping the weight off until I had major abdoninal surgery 3 months ago. I've...
