No diet! (at the moment) le I need all the nutrition I can get. But 2 months ago it was lose weight and I can promise you in another 2 months it will be lose again.

I've just had some bad news from the Doc. No diet at this time.... So while I know that she didn't mean returning to eating pizzas every night she doesn't want me on a calorie restricted diet. How do I go back to eating normally without putting all the weight back on that I have lost. I've...

So the bad news is that it's been recommened that I go off CD. Even worse news is that it's been recommended that I not be on any diet at the moment. Though I'm not sure that returning to eating pizzas every night is really what the doctor wants me to do either. So how do I "stop" CD. I...

yes I did. She decided to go away for the week. She runs it from a salon so it was just another staff member - she offered and it was my choice to get weighed by her - but what else was I meant to do? Starve for the week? I really am quite angry about this - aren't I? Hmmmm must think about...

For me it's KFC! What is even worse is that KFC is on the banned list due to their ethical practise!

CDC not there, didn't bother to tell me she wasn't going to be there. Some randomer weight me - not stock either so I had the choice of chocolate or chocolate. Lucky I like chocolate :D less 3 pounds. Which is not bad and I should be HAPPY!

Oh I'm so nervous. I have WI at lunch time, and I know I havn't had anywhere near as much water as I should have had this week. My clothes do feel looser and I suppose I should be focusing on that rather.

I'm here. I'm going back home tonight and I didn't cheat last night. Not as hungry today so I'm guessing I must have gone back into the big K last night. Realised that the potential sabotage was more about cutting off my nose to spit my face than anything else :D :D

I think its the act of the massage that helps too

Instant gratification is not instant gain! and I don't mean weight gain, I mean obtaining goals....... I just seen Mini talk somewhere else about a monkey sitting on your shoulder chatting to you about stuff to eat!

that's funny - thanks!

Oh this is so silly. I'm angry at the hotel for making my hungry. I've starving now and have a huge craving for Caesar salad - which I also know the hotel does. So because it's their fault I'm hungry I just want to go eat now cause what difference does it make. So go on...lay into me!

I'm SO unimpressed about this. I just want to scream and swear and shout. Reminds Clara that she must calm down :D :D

Rooibos is sometimes called Redbush tea. Not sure about the vanilla though

Not impressed about this at all. Stupid hotel.....won't be going back there again...

So is it possible for me to have been knocked out by drinking a glass of water that may have had fruit flavour/fruit in it/something fruit. Was only about 100ml. But I've had more water than I normally do at this time and I am STARVING.

with those silver tongs things - but still.

Or more like the hospitality industry. Do they not really understand food contamination. At the bar last night - can I have a water no lemon pls. Arrives with lemon. I smiled and said I'm sorry I can't have lemon and he just whips it out and hands it back. Then this morning at the juice...

I'm not going. Said I had an ongoing medical issue that meant I couldn't eat solid food and didn't want a fuss being made at the restaurant about me not eating. (which is not a lie exactly - I am obese which is a long long ongoing medical issue) So I'm going to meet them for drinks after the...

A1 for that! SO TRUE!

go on, i know there more crafty people out there!

suppose that might be a good idea.....just don't want to make anyone feel bad. Do you think it would be really hard to have food and then not have it again?

possiblt cause they don't know. they only know skinny and so don't know what is the right or wrong way to say things. Maybe you could explain these things to them so that they understand. They've never faced the same challenges that you facing now.

It's hard enough trying to deal with the posh chocolates and biscuits they've left in the hotel room.

So I've to go to a team meal tomorrow evening. This is my new team so it would look really bad if I said I couldn't go. Besides I've travelled over from Dublin to meet them. I really really really don't want to get the taste of food - which I suspect will happen if I eat. What do I dooooo?

A 100ml bottle I hope!

you could mix bio oil in with ordinary lotion.

A friend of mine was a good size 26, trying for a baby for nearly 5 years. She went on sensible eating for a few months got down to about a 20 and was pregnant within a few weeks :D

I have this when I have been out on a major boozer. Caused because the alcohol does something to the salts in your body - so that makes perfect sense

This tip comes from one of my weight watches classes. Paper clips.....a paper clip for every pound that you have removed from your body weight. Keep them somewhere you can see and watch how quickly it becomes so long. Stones - in your wallet or pocket, actual stones (you can pick them up at...

Do you know what causes them?

So what do you want to be able to do with your new body? Play with the kids without dying and having to sit down after 10mins? Shop in normal shops? No worry about food? Capture the man of your dreams? Run a marathon? Be normal - what ever that is? In a way these are the things that keep us...

There's been quite a bit of chat about card making on the boards recently. So what hobbies do people have; and crafty talents? I knit and sew and also do a bit of beading and jewellery making.

oh I am SO jealous.....

I know we all do this, and we all know its wrong. Maybe we can start this thread with all reasons why it's so wrong. *it doesn't count anyways cause its not the CDC scales *your weight fluctuates through out the day and over the week. *it can lead you to feeling miserable if you've gone up on...

I've not read the whole thread - only your first post. But I think the key to this is a mantra. And doing and saying it to yourself in the mirror. I love myself; I am thin and beautiful and I love myself that way etc...or something like that.

woohoooo I've lost count of the day i'm on - but I'm very seldom hungry. I got through drinking all the water at the weekend and I'm hyped up for today!

You look like you need a good feeding ;) :D :D You look great the way you are; maybe think of it in a couple of ways - see if you can lose more but if you can't maintain it then be happy with a range of BMI? (Does that make sense?)

well done, you look super!

think thats the pu-re..someting something one.

Oh which herbal teas are allowed? Green Tea - Yes Peppermint - Yes Jasmine - I read somewhere no? How do you decide if you can or can't.

I'm guessing that plain ginger tea is allowed; but the apple and ginger one is not? any one know for sure?

make a shake ice-cream if you really want one. Or go and chase the Ice-Cream many away with a broom.....if you do - post pictures :D

That's it. My excuse if anyone asks. "Someone on the internet told me I could". But it's a good idea!

I'll check it out when I am home. But that is just brilliant. I'm 0.25 off my 1st stone. I really want to go and buy my 1st stone treat cause I'll be in town tomorrow but not next week. Is that really cheating :D

well done. What were your other goal treats?

Just been weighed another 5.75 pounds gone forever. I'm dead chuffed, 0.25 off a stone in 2 weeks :D

Well I'm doing something wrong cause I am hungry :( Though I suspect I am forgetting to drink my water.

I didn't think that Jamie Oliver was that bad.

Hydration Calculator - Drinking Enough Water Something I found today, not sure how accurate it is, but it says I should be drinking 4.2L - so not apart from the CD philosophy.

It doesn't make the need or want for the food any less. I'm glad I suppose that I am conscious of it though - 1st step? regarding the solution of the first problem - its not as easy as that. God knows I wish it was. PS - I did some NLP exercise last night where you have to imagine yourself...

oh I know what it is. I just don't know how to deal with it.

I just feel awful. I've been crying on and off most of the day at work (not CD related - I hope). I've come home to a cold empty house, which just makes me even worse. All I want to do is put a frozen pizza in the oven. Though I know what will happen, I'll cry over the pizza it won't change...

its the lactose(milk) that goes off.

I'm still feeling ill today. Breath stinks terribly- so YAY! I've moved on from nightmares to not sleeping and still crying (not CD related). Still not reaching for the food infact the thought of food is turning my stomach.

I don't feel as bad now after having some water and peppermint tea (which is great for settling the stomach anyways). Still not hundreds.

Not sure how to change the title of this - can a mod help? Anyways - Clarabel Day 5 - Sick as a small hospital The weight is falling off me - I started 18 1.75 and the scales this morning said 17.4. So I'm motivated. But I am still sick as a small hospital. I just don't feel well at all, at...

Well Day 4, and I'm still hungry. I'm still hyped to do this - but I'm hungry :(

well done!

at the weekends i leave a pint glass (not stolen from the pub) of water in the kitchen and everytime I walk through it (which is often as it's in the middle of the house) I gulp down half of it. I also have glass with me that I try sip from all the time. But I;m not a sipper - I just gulp it...

well I don't feel so sick anymore; but I am curled up on the sofa hiding from the cold. thanks so much for the support and kind words

thanks...now I need to figure out how

still feel sick though :(

well 8 pounds gone since last Friday. 1 and a bit days of SS, the rest was just carb cutting... YAY me

I can't change it - but if a mod is about - they are more than welcome to. Sorry for upsetting you.

I really hope so. I feel like I would imagine pregnant woman do. Just this constant ill feeling in the back of their throats.

morning. Today I need lots of love and support. I don't feel great at all. (see other thread). Though I have lost 4 pounds according to my scale - which make me feel HAPPY! I think that I can do this. I think I have the right attitude to it to. I don't want to hide myself til the summer - I...

So Day 1 went, ok. I was quite hungry - especially trying to get to sleep and didn't have a great nights sleep. Very dull headache - but nothing major. I've had terrible nightmares since I've been no-carbing (basically the whole week) And this morning I have woken up feeling awful. I feel...

I've read on one of the sticky threads that some people add 1 day a week instead of 1 week every month. I was just wondering from peoples experiences if this eating knocks people out of ketosis? I would have thought it did so you are getting back into ketosis once a week instead of once a...

morning and well done everyone. Today is easier. I am certainly not as hungry as I was yesterday. I figured out that I can easily get 3l of water into me without thinking (well a little bit of effort); and I do think that my head is in the right place (for the moment). still thinking of...

So I was out last night with a few of my friends telling them about me going onto Cambridge. Most of them have done Lipotrim and had some real horror stories. So; am I going to be terribly emotional? Do you have to change your toothpaste and mouthwash? Are there mints that you can...

wow, I thought I was doing really well. I've actually only had 1.2 l sighs

just think of the week the cast comes off how much you would have lost ;)

Also how did you get around your emotional need to eat while on shakes. (though I might cross post this question next week on CD)

I'm finding it very hard to stomach at the moment the difference in support that the medical profession gives emotional eaters vs that of emotional non-eaters (anorexics and bulimics). Does anyone else have any experience with dealing with the medical profession in these areas? My doctor just...

oh thank you so much for your replies. That have almost managed to stop the nerves....I'll let you know how I get on and I'm sure I'll be back for more support.

Hi there. I have my first appointment tonight, but I have to say I am very nervous about it. I have a few questions and I hope you realise that I am not trying to bring CD down – I just want to understand a few things. There is quite a bit of negative comments about CD especially from...

I love the 1st one. Hope the snow doesn't keep him away. Would you mind telling us with ebay sellers you use?
