    Kirstie Alley Weight loss!!!

    Hmmm, fair point. I think I agree with both views. Also, methinks she MUST have gotten a bit of work done and also that (look at her before piccys) she weighed more than 219 to start with. Or am I crazy. :confused:

    Really kicking myself

    Well, I don't think that you should be kicking yourself. You have lost so much weight already and while you want to lose more, you aren't being inactive about it, you are now back on track trying to achieve your goal. If anything, you should be patting yourself on the back......:)

    *Confession*

    Hey, I'm back. Again. I have decided that I simply cannot do a vlcd. I just don't have the wherewithall to do it. And then when I start getting shaky with the program, I start getting depressed and then drop it and then am like "oh, what's the use anyway." And I hide. Well from you all at...

    Anyone got snow ?????

    It snowed and hailed and sleeted the day before St. Patty's here (New York) ... but it wasn't too bad and the parade went on as planned only no green line on 5th Ave. as the snow washed that away. It was 70f last tues, though so the weather has been real freaky my side of the world. Also, is...

    Hey! Did you go yet?? NYC is great...... Museums: I recommend the Frick, the MoMa, and the Met (I HATE the Whitney....1990's installation modern art isn't my thing).

    6 Servings a Day???

    well, one serving is 110calories on cdusa so you are supposed to have four of them a day. but........i find it so easy to just have 2 servings at once!!!! and i really do feel like i need the extra.............. :confused: But I just don't know if I will entirely screw myself over if I do!

    Why so many questions, Cait?

    Wow! I have a lot of questions!! This is because CDUSA is a quite cavalier program. You don't have to have a gp assesment, you don't have to meet with a counsellor, you just buy the shakes and basically, aside fromt the support material that they send you, (which isn't much, I have learned...

    6 Servings a Day???

    Will it screw up my weight loss and/or ketosis if I up my servings to 6 a day instead of 4? I don't use ketostix or anything but I know that it helps aid in fat burning and I don't want to ruin it if I am in ketosis. I just am really hungry, like my tummy hurts hungry.

    How long can one SS??

    Is there any limit on how long one can SS??? Cambridgeusa seems to only want 2 weeks of SS and then up it to about 850cal a day. And I know that I should follow the dictates of my own program, but I was wondering if there is any really good reason as to why I couldn't SS for, say, 4 weeks or...

    I'm new!

    OMG, Lauren, I'm 5'4.5"!! Too funny. Yeah, my mom tells me; "Cait, are you sure about 120's because that is going to be too thin for you, you should aim for about 135." I think maybe she is right so when I can get down a bit I may have to readjust my goal weigh up 10lbs or so.

    Keeping accountable: Alright, my weight has been up and down the past couple weeks. So I am down now 1.5 but that is still up 2 from where I started! Hopefully it is just water weight which will get duly passed through my system (esp. once I start cd!!). :)

    That is a good way to look at it! One only truly fails if they refuse to try again. :) Also, it is good to know that there are others starting at the same time as us. This way we can succeed (and struggle at times probably) together!!:D ;) :p :)

Then you are supposed to add 400cal of nutritious...

    Flavors? Help, please.

    Yes, they are the American flavors, but, as I don't have any distributors (CDCs, I guess) in my area, I have to get them off the website and they limit me to 3 and I can't try any in advance! :(
