    CD and very early pregnancy

    Hi guys - thanks for the input! I've heard the "a line is a line is a line!" thing before - it's just that I'm not sure, if I'd shown it to someone else, if they'd have seen it! Thing is I was trying for my second baby for years which involved lots of obsessive pregnancy testing, so I know there...

    CD and very early pregnancy

    Hi all! It's a long time since I've been here - about a year, I think.

I got to 17st...

    Bit OT - need help looking for a shirt!

    Hi all, One of my staples of my 'fat' wardrobe is a white chiffon shirt, to wear in the summer over vest tops to hide my big fat arms. However mine saw the end of it's life last year, and I can't find another one anywhere. Can anyone help??!! I know I won't need it for the covering up by the...

    Phew - that was a week - went a bit pear shaped!

    Hi Deb - we were told our results would be available from 18th May, but that's the History dept - it might be different for you so check with Kate. You'll be able to get them from kate first - they won't go onto Sonar until mid June or July, after the board has sat. Soooo pleased you're back...

    Phew - that was a week - went a bit pear shaped!

    Well after such a fabulous loss in my first week, i knew my second week wouldn't go so well. The reason was that it was a) my dads birthday and b) end of year at Uni so lots of stress trying to get an essay done as well as revise for an exam. So my diet all went a bit pear-shaped, I knew it...

    Extra water = extra weight loss. True??

    I aim for around 4 1/2 litres a day - 6 of those Evian Sports bottles (filled with tap water). I fill them every morning then they're ready to just go with me wherever. If I drink less then 3l then my weight loss isn't so good. K xx

    Still struggling with the hunger

    I think there's 'physical' hunger and 'emotional' hunger. I think the 'physical' hunger subsides once you go into ketosis, but we're probably struggling with the 'emotional' hunger for alot longer. Partly because it's the bodies response to want to eat - after all it's what keeps us alive! - and...

    help please......im stumped!

    I think anyone with a slow weight loss should get their thyroid checked, simply because this diet is designed so that your body HAS to use it's fat sources to just get by - which is why they say 1 stone a month average because that's the extra calories you burn! So if they're not losing that...

    coke zero

    It doesn't seem to affect me, and I have 1 500ml bottle a day just to help me through these early stages - however to be on the safe side I'm going to cut that out once I'm well into it, and not finidng it so hard, just in case really. K xx

    Vicky - that's a good point about slowing weight loss. When I didn't drinjk coke zero I lost more in the first week then the last coupl eof times I've tried this. I presumed it was slowing metabolism - but now you've mentioned it maybe not, maybe it's my coke zero! Right water for me only...

    Too much ZERO drinks can do what?

    Please don't feel too disheartened. You have had a fantastic loss over the last 2 weeks and it sounds like your bodies just settling down a bit. You'll probably find your loss rises again next week. remember on WW you'd be pleased with 1/2lb loss. You are doing soooo well!! And remember next...

    I always wear the same clothes to get weighed at my CDC's. At home I weigh in the morning, after a wee, with no clothes on, and before I've drunk anything. It can be 4lbs less then it was the night before, after all the wees. I'd like to know how much a poo weighs. :o
