    Fact or fiction??

    My CDC advised me not to drink too much more than the recommended 2 litres as your body flushes the nutrients out of your body too quickly.

    He basically said the same to be fair. I didn't want to say anything and come across as heartless because I'm not like that.

    I explained it to him earlier, I didn't want to but he knew something.was wrong....turns out he's getting stressed about it all but didn't want to tell me cos he's trying to please everyone. Thanks for your advice, sometimes it just helps to get a problem out of your head xx

    Hi everyone, I need some advice. At the moment I feel like a spare wheel because my OH is spending so much time talking to his mum or about her. I don't seem to get a luck in. I can't really come out and tell him cos my OHs dad died in Dec of a brain tumor and his mum doesn't have anyone...

    It can be a bit of a pain, especially if your OH has a dodgy surname! My OH asked if I would have taken his name if he had his mums maiden name, which isn't great, I was like errr yeah I think so, maybe! How much is everyone aiming to lose before the wedding? I'm aiming for 1.5-2 stone or be...

    Fills so ill.

    I used to drink easily 4 litres a day and didn't think anything of it but what my CDC said made sense. Maybe you need to have a week on Ss+ or 810, then see how you feel? You don't want to carry on feeling like you've got no energy x

    Fills so ill.

    My CDC told me to stick to 2 litres a day or your body is flushing out all of the nutrients in the shakes too quickly. I was feeling the same all last week and had an omlette last night. I feel loads better today though after eating.

    Two completely different frames of mind regarding losing weight and binging

    I agree it is all in the head. I have days like that where ill yo yo from being the CD poster girl and saying to my OH how committed I am and enjoying not wanting to eat, getting excited about what size I might be by a.certain date and then an hour later think of nothing but food!

    Will you eat your trigger foods again???

    For me its more about realising what my triggers are to comfort eat, which are usually carbs, and deal with that. I know how to manage my food and eat well, its more about being able to handle stresses that make me want to comfort eat and not stuff my face! x

    Are the bars a good idea?

    I tried two different flavours on my 5th week as I normally only like chocolate and chocolate mint shakes but I didn't like the bars. I think they have a funny after taste. I'd still say to give them a try and see if you like them as everyone has different tastes.

    I need a shake!

    I don't think any CDC should say that u should have lost more! Seems a little unfair to me that they have decided how much u should have lost. It's on average a stone a month so after the first week or so your losses slow a little... iv had weeks where iv been 100% and only lost 2lb so your loss...
