Unfortunately I ate too much, drank too much and am suffering badly today! I am back onto SS but obviously very disappointed with myself (although I had a great time so am trying not to dwell on it too much). I am away this weekend and have already resigned myself to eating in moderation but...

Hmm...I haven't had any symptoms yet but it's not something I want to risk. A bit puzzling though as to why some CDCs say you can have chewing gum and others don't! I guess "in moderation" would be better! I also only have a couple of airwaves a day as at least their flavour lasts but don't like...

Thanks Beverley, I just feel silly for not finding out the reasons before ignoring them! Still better late than never! Good point about the strips though....can we use them?

Charges for recipes on Ebay!! Thanks for these, they will come in handy! I often look at Ebay and notice people have actually put 'recipes for meal replacements' on the dieting category .... and people buy them!! :eek: It's amazing to know if people did their homework a little they can find...

Oh my god!! I had no idea and that is it now....no more chewing gum! I feel a little silly now for not knowing! Thanks for replies - back to mouthwash it is!!! Jenny.x

I was told that under no circumstances to have chewing gum when on SS. However, I am in ketosis, have a horrible taste in my mouth and can't walk around with a bottle of mouthwash/spray so the last 2 days I have been using airwaves. I am still in ketosis (I have used ketostix to check) and I am...

Oh sorry, I've just read the other posts (I'm still new to this site so trying to work it out!!), and you have already given someone an idea of veggie atkins so very sorry for asking again!! Good luck again!! xx

Wow, what a great loss. Good luck with your last stretch on the veggie atkins - just out of interest though, what exactly is the veggie atkins?! I'm intrigued! Jenny.x

Hi everyone When I read through some of the posts, I saw many people used 'mini goals' and I decided to try this myself. Wow, what a difference that has made! My first 'mini goal' was to get through SS for 1 whole day (did it), the second was to get into ketosis (did it, day 3), and the third...

Diary Oh, by the way, it won't allow me to see your diary, I would imagine cos I am still a 'newbie'. What a shame as I like to read how other people deal with their battles!!

How are you doing? Hi Claire, How are you getting on? It's my day 4 and I'm battling through it but I have lost 8lbs so far which is highly motivating! This weekend will be the biggest battle for me. I have a sports barbeque....lots of yummy food and wine....and to not eat a thing will be my...

Hiya, I have also just returned and I had a good loss in 2 weeks in the previous attempt. I was told it was because I was walking so much as I made an effort to walk absolutely everywhere so this exercise made the pounds melt away. One thing I will say though is work out with caution cos I know...

have just returned to the CD and I am doing SS. I am on day 2 and finding it tough! I love reading everyone's stories. I am so motivated by it all. I would especially though like to know if anyone is also just returning and wanting someone to keep in contact and track their progress with me so...

You sound just like me! I have dieted for as long as I can remember. I have spent a fortune on diets, books, cds, fitness dvds, magazines etc. I have also done every diet possible. I think of food 24/7. I also cry over my weight. I feel for you, I really do. You are not the only one out there...

Thank you to all those who have given me advice. I have managed to stay on SS for today. My chest pains have gone but it was enough to scare me to rethink my binge eating. I REALLY want to lose weight. For my kids more than anything. Crisps are my downfall - they always have been. I never...

I am not having a good week unfortunately. I can't stop eating crisps for some strange reason? I am doing SS one day, then binge eating the next. So I am in and out of ketosis. I woke in the night with chest pains and breathlessness. I am ashamed to say yesterday I ate 6 bags of crisps and a...

Hi Sam, thanks for your reply. I am in a small village in Northants.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to me. I feel loads better and I have been reading a lot of the other posts and realise lots of people have been in the same situation and cheated like I have but managed to get back into the swing of things and be successful.

Hi, I'm new here too. I have previously tried LL but now on CD. Are you on either? You're right to feel inspired. I am so glad I found this site. I have had a binge night tonight and totally kicking myself because of it but have had some advice and feel loads better now. It's great not to feel...

Thank you for your kind messages. I know noone else on the CD near me so feeling isolated has its disadvantages but it's so good to hear other people's stories and even moreso their weight loss. Feeling better already and will continue to post. Thank you.x

:wave_cry: Hi....A newbie here! Hi, I could really do with some support. I have been on the CD for 11 days and so far lost 10lbs. Well, that was until yesterday when my cravings for bread, chocolate and crisps got the better of me! :sigh:I didn't eat too much yesterday but today I have been...
