I am heading over to SW. What can I say, CD is fantastic but I can't for the life of me get into it right now, and I can't do nothing, so I'm heading to SW for a while. I just wanted to thank all of you for the brilliant support you gave me when I needed it most. Oh, and I want to wish...

Thanks everyone. I'm doing okay, just waiting to get into ketosis now. Hopefully that is the last of the bumps in my journey until August, but if it isn't, I still won't quit. I'll just have to make sure I always keep going and never give up. It won't be easy, but it'll be interesting! :) xxx

Even though I feel like it :o I throw my hands in the air and admit that I am finding this difficult. I fell off the wagon last Sunday and then, only 5 days later (after I had done all the hard work of getting back into ketosis) I fell off again, in what can only be described as "spectacular...

Frick on a fricking stick!! I am not making this easy for myself. We got some news today, fantastic news actually and celebrated it by eating. Bugger it, why the hell do I do it. Okay so that's two weeks wasted (well I did lose another 2lbs but no doubt they will be back on now) I'll get...

Having only just clawed my way back into Ketosis only today, I know how you are feeling. Just dust yourself off and start again, it will be okay. It's tough going for a few days as you know, but you will soon be back into the swing of things. The head stuff is worse, the "oh I can just start...

Urgh. Long story short: Sunday I screw up Monday back on Track Wednesday (today) I am back in ketosis and determined to be screw up free for the next 87 days! Wish me luck and willpower! :)

I found it by accident! Just double click the end of your thread title and the title will magically appear in a box which you can edit. :)

Thanks guys. If it weren't for this place I honestly wouldn't have made it. Now I just have to make sure I'm not stupid enough to mess it up! x

I'll be right there with you girl! I have 87 days to go until our holiday and can't wait to see a transformation in my body in that time. (I hope it's long enough!) Fingers crossed for both of us! :)

51lbs in nine weeks!! Wow! That is fabulous! :) Well done! x

I totally screwed up on Sunday, but I actually managed to get right back on the wagon the very next day. This is a first for me, it was really re-he-eally hard but I did it. This never happens, I usually cheat and go from one morning on CD to binging at night for weeks. Then I cave and...

At least you had a great time! You are jumping right back on the wagon which is great and it probably is a really good idea not to weigh for a few weeks so you don't get down about any gains you may have. I wish I had your willpower, I am a slave to the scale! lol Good luck, as you know it's...

That is fantastic! It gives any of us who are stalling hope that the weight hasn't stopped coming off, it is just adjusting! lol

Day two of a restart for me and I still am not back into ketosis yet. I have high hopes for tomorrow lol Good luck! :)

Hi folks. Thanks for checking in on me, I AM sticking to it!! Woohoo!! Day two for me today and I'm doing okay, I can't believe I am managing to re start! This is a first for me. I couldn't do it without you lot egging me on so thank you so much :) xoxoxoxoxox

Thanks guys. I haven't been an angel today, I moved up to SS+ and nibbled at the kids dinner (little bits here and there) and was so so tempted to just call it quits, throw in the towel and start "afresh" tomorrow. That's another place I go wrong. The slightest little mishap and I am looking...

Sparklychar we can do it!! :)

Thanks everyone. Would you believe that these replies have stopped me giving up today, seriously they have. I was this *insert very small gap here* close to eating again and saying the usual "ah, I'll start again tomorrow" and I made myself come on here first and low and behold, you are all...

I totally screwed up yesterday. I was stressed over something and then just hit the kitchen and didn't stop. Went to bed last night feeling physically horrid too (which I totally deserved after eating a tonne of crap) I know how hard it is to re start and I can't believe I am putting...

What I find the easiest is to go on a high protein and low carb diet so that you are already in ketosis by the time you start. Lots of chicken, tuna, eggs, low fat cottage cheese etc and a few bits of salad or veggies. If you are going to have a "last blow out" type thing, do it tonight so that...

I've a major thing for Chad Kroeger from Nickelback, I wasn't overly impressed with his cleaned up look on the "This afternoon" video though lol ETA, I had no idea this pic was so big! I do apologise! lol

Crazy for you - Madonna (I think I have this correct! lol)

I have tried that in the past, but never managed to get back on track. It is very very very difficult to get back into it when you take yourself out of ketosis and start eating again. It keeps me on track anyway as I know that if I mess up, lord knows how long it will take me to get back on...

Welcome and best of luck to you :)

I would leave them well alone. I will add that I am an advertisers dream and their marketing dept is very clever! Even though I know it is very misleading, I still want to try them! (although I most definitely wont!) LOL

I found the only way to make it easier on myself was to get into ketosis first using low carb foods with the shakes for the first few days. I had as much chicken, tuna, egg whites etc as I needed (not wanted!) and SS+ amounts of salad or veg. Once I was in ketosis it was much easier to cut down...

Oh I hear you, I feel like someone has laid a carpet on my tongue! Chewing gum seems to help a little, but only for a short time.

Okay, didn't quite manage SS yesterday, but going for it today, I very almost did it yesterday but I just needed a tiny bit of chicken to see me though. Hopefully I can bypass that today. Today is day 11, the longest I have lasted on any of my restarts, EVER! lol I am so determined to see this...

Best of luck to you, fingers crossed you get it! :)

How are you doing Felix? Hope everything is going great for you honey. You can do it! xxx

Now you mention it JaxieD I believe WW pro points system has the two types of potatoes at different points for that very reason too. Something about the way in which the potato is cooked altering it's effect on blood sugar. (Again, I could be wrong, it seems to be a habit of mine lol)

Hi Nina. You remind me a lot of me actually, I have a lot to lose too and something clicked this time around (helped along by a holiday booked in Aug) I have been big since forever and last year I managed to lose 4 stone in three months by eating pretty much bugger all. Of course I couldn't...

I'm planning on switching to Slimming World when I have lost the bulk of my weight (so a while yet lol) I don't think it is disloyal at all, in fact it is a good thing to want to learn more about living with conventional food in a way that won't encourage you to gain weight again. We are all...

It's probably best to ignore me as I don't actually know the answer for sure, but at a guess could it be that one is baked and the other boiled in water (and will therefore be heavier?)

Thanks for the tip! It sounds yummy :)

What a brilliant weight loss, well done! :)

Starlight, I am somewhat relieved to read that, mainly because I have never, and probably will never manage to drink more than 2L a day (and that's on a good day!) All the times I have done CD though, it doesn't seem to have effected my weight loss.

You should wear whatever you feel comfortable in. The last thing you want is to be feeling self conscious or "not as good" as the size ten girls you are with (size does not equal worth by the way) If you feel good and confident in your chosen swimwear than that will show. If you are wearing a...

Welcome :) I'm new myself. Best of luck with your first day, you can do it! :)

I did that too! From what I can gather, it looks pretty much the same, meal replacements etc (although they seem to have a few extra things which I assume is for working up the plans) I'm guessing it's another VLCD like Lighter life, Lipotrim etc. Are they all pretty much the same? I would...

Brilliant, well done! :)

Today is day 10 and I am SOOOO in the zone now! I am absolutely determined to do this, I am going to move down to SS today, I reckon it is achievable now so I'll be back tonight to update on how it went. Only 92 days to go!!

So we're at 93 days to go and I am slipping, I am picking at way too much protein and even had a few spoonfuls of cereal. This is not good and I will not lose at the rate I need if I continue this. Luckily I am still in ketosis, but ketosis alone will not drop the lbs fast. Short sharp kick...

Okay, it's day 7 and I have been out all day. I'm wrecked tired so I'm heading to bed. Still on plan, still going and I'll be back in the morning to catch up properly (errr, to talk to myself LOL) Night! :)

I weigh myself every day but no matter what that scale says I know that it is impossible not to lose on this diet so I don't let it bother me :) Usually if I haven't lost anything for a few days I know that a day or two later I will suddenly drop 2-3lbs out of nowhere, it does all even out in...

Had my first official weigh in today and I am 9lbs down in 6 days!! Woo-hoo! :bliss: So we have 96 days and 46lbs left to go, I can soooooo do this! :) as Nike would say "Just do it" :D

Day 5 today, I did actually struggle a little late this afternoon, DH bought lots of treats for himself and the kids and they were there, in the kitchen calling my name. I ignored them for the most part (although I am ashamed to say I took a bite of cake, chewed it for a bit then spat it out...

Well done! I did that exact same thing this afternoon, everyone wanted bacon sarnies for lunch and not once did it even cross my mind that I wanted a bite! (God bless ketosis lol!) I find my savour is Tuna too, when I am really struggling, a tin of tuna with a bit of lettuce and upping to SS+...

I am doing SS+ and have 3 shakes, a meal and dashes of milk in my tea. It's how I have always done it and I've always had good losses in the past. I just couldn't stick to it otherwise and find it easier to make very small changes to CD where I can. (so long as I don't get knocked out of...

Thank goodness for SS+, I couldn't have made it past day two without it! We do what we have to do and for me SS is just that little bit too much right now, I might work my way down to it but until then I am enjoying it. Don't feel guilty honey, it is still CD and weight loss is only about 2lbs...

Count me in! I think this will be my last re start now as I am fully in ketosis and have lasted longer than any of my other failed re starts lol

Wow!!! Just Wow!! :) Seriously well done, you should be so very proud of yourself.

Well done for getting started, the first few days are really tough going but by days 3-4 it gets MUCH easier. Hang in there and best of luck! :)

I made it to day 4! Woo-hoo! 99 days to go! OMG we have gone from triple to double figures! :D Will be back later to report how my day went.

Felix, I am just as forgetful so don't worry lol Oh, and I'm still going! Woohoo!! TMI warning I had a bad case of the runs today, which wasn't exactly pleasant but I always seem to get that when I go into ketosis. Oh yes, speaking of which, I made it onto ketosis today and the difference is...

Hi Felix. Yes we are going on holiday on the 20th and I want to get into the pool with the kids, but that means *inhales nervously* getting into a swimsuit *eek* No way will I do that looking like this, and I don't want to miss out with the children, so I hope to lose 55lbs by then. It still...

You are doing great Felix, I really could have done with a nap today too! lol

The third day is over with, I can't believe I have made it to three days! This is monumental! Finally a restart that has worked (so far!) By the way, my level of unfitness is nothing short of shocking, my legs are flipping agony after only 20mins on the EA active yesterday........damn! lol...

101 Days to go I made it another day! I did SS+ (although I nearly caved but ended up having some extra chicken instead, which isn't ideal but it stopped me throwing in the towel) I also started the 30 day challenge on the EA sports active today. Holy crap I am unfit! :o Will try and...

So it's now 21:03 and I have stuck to SS+. I did want to give SS a bash, but right now SS+ is way better than having another failed attempt! Who knows, if I go well on this then I may go down to SS, but if not, no worries, at least I am doing something :) It has been a bit hard, like right now...

Well done Fearless, you made it past day one! Woohoo! :)

So I realise I will now have to edit this title EVERY day in order to keep it up to date, but that's a good thing! Now I will be reminded every single day of how many days I have left before I may or may not be wearing some form of swimwear *insert horror movie scream here* I say may or may...

Thanks for the advice and the welcome everyone. It's officially day one today (yes yes, I know I said that yesterday.....frick it, don't ask *morto*) Starting again and will get through this week SS'ing 100% if it kills me! 102 days to go! :D

I don't mind at all, you will see in my stats that I have tonnes to lose :o My (possibly slightly optimistic) goal for the end of Aug is 55lbs which is probably about half of what I want to lose. Eek!! lol We used to live in the Toon (lol) so I have an idea of how far Bournemouth is...

Hi Felix and Fearless. We aren't going abroad (taking small people abroad is way too much hassle lol) but we're off down country for a (flipping expensive!) week away. The place has a pool and is on a beach and has lots of facilities gym and healthclub etc so I really want to avoid...

Hi Everyone. I have been overweight for as long as I can remember and have been on every single diet on this planet but always gave up. Over the years I have gotten bigger and bigger and although believe it or not, I am not at my heaviest right now, I am pretty close. I know the CD...
