    Exercise....does this effect weight loss on SS in a positive way or negative?

    Sorry to disagree, but we are upping our protein to prevent our bodies depriving our muscles of this source of energy. The body will process excess fat before lean muscle tissue and the body will only rely on muscle tissue as an energy resource when the fat is all gone. In my case that's a...

    I think I may be a bit confused?!!!

    From what I have gathered, a large percentage do do the SS method of CD. I wanted to find a 790/810 survivor and find out their losses - (numbers refer to the calories per day). You are strong to resist sunday lunch - well done. Like you its my favourite meal of the week and I would sell my...

    I think I may be a bit confused?!!!

    Hi Bev.... First of all, you are SO not alone. Mins has kept me sane (ish) for the last 3 weeks. You will become addicted - I spend more time on here than doing anything else! Knowing that we are all in the same boat makes such a difference. You can tell the absolute truth on here and...

    You pay your money and you take your chance

    Here we go again...... Sunday bl**dy Sunday! Sunday lunch has once again loomed and I have felt that insatiable desire to eat a plateful as usual. First Sunday of CD I ate everything in sight. I was really lucky last week (2nd Sunday) and had a few bits of chicken, sprouts, green beans...

    Is it just me?

    ha ha... no need for them in my house! I made some biscuits with the girls and left them to cool on the rack. a little later after several 'please can i have one mum' requests, I went to get the icing sugar and little decorations to pretty them up..... No need, they were gone! Clearly my...

    This little piggy goes wee wee wee all the way home! Me too,,, I seriously struggle to drink the water...... have bought a big jar of decaffeinated coffee and just keep on drinking that. Water to me, (unless i am really thirsty) takes some shifting to get down. Specially the amount we need to...

    Sahara Desert Spicy Tomato Soup (ha ha)

    Had read a previous thread about the flavoured soups having sand in and couldn't understand what anyone was on about. Yesterday I decided to try a spicy tomato soup. Flavour was great BUT there was half of the sahara desert in there. Yep, remember as a kid dropping your butties on the beach...

    Maybe we are using our time more creatively eh? instead of all the time (speak for myself) spent 'troughing' - we can dedicate to more creative uses! Bring it on!! Mxxx

    Is it just me?

    How weird Weird eh? I have been baking with my girls and making all sorts of things that I didn't used to. Too reliant on Tesco before - perhaps this is another valuable lesson. LOVIN THESE DIET RESULTS...... Have a wonderful Sunday.... Michelle xxx

    We had a shake party this morning....

    THe thick shakes were gorgeous..... Not only were the thick shakes really yummy... but i read a post by ICEMOOSE who said that cold water (obviously icy-cream as well) burns more calories as your body has to work harder to warm itself..... For every negative theres a positive :D (pictures...

    oh BUM!!

    NP Sarah... glad you are sorted......... sounds to me like you are well shot of the awful CDC you had anyway. Would it be wholly inappropriate to name and shame??:o I know that's a mean thing to say, but its soooooo wrong to treat someone like that. Sounds like she doesn't deserve to be a...

    Extra Packs Sarah pink...... I buy extra packs (just so that I have the freedom of more choice) each week. If you are really stuck, I will happily post some for you if they are the kind you like. I can always get some more from my own CDC.... That's an awful way to treat someone who has...

    Already aware how silly...and now....

    Its just a mistake FP13 Its happened. We all do it - well not all but I certainly have. Ate everything in sight one sunday and got straight back into it on Monday. Yes, I came out of ketosis, but i still lost 5 lb that week. You still have your other 6 days of packs only - so think about it...
  233. Diva2B

    My worst day and its not over yet.

    Far better to change by choice Cillabatty than to trash it and possibly feel as though you have failed. Speak to you CDC to seek advice and then change. Once armed with the info, you may decide that you want to stick with it after all. Or after a couple of weeks on 790, you might decide...

    what would happen to losses if i ate chicken instead of packs????

    I agree with the above..... I would dearly love to start marketing my thin pills. You know the kind that you take at night and wake up thin in the morning? Whilst I am still working on this invention :rolleyes:, the next best thing is CD timewise.;) Look at all of the amazing results to see...

    Cambridge Diet ROCKS

    Aww never mind, we know about it now! Just think, we might never have known about this 'secret'. Doesn't it show though that all of the 'critics' and those who 'know all' and say things like 'oooooh VLCD - all the weight will go straight back on' once you start eating...... (couldnt you slap...

    What should we expect from our Cambridge diet counsellor

    Totally, she ROCKS! Been there done that... knows how i feel, doesnt make me feel bad, listens, chats, supports me.... what else do you need?? Elaine CDC Worcester by the way! Michelle

    hang my head in shame

    Dont beat yourself up Hi.... Have done exactly the same but ate at least twice as much as you probably more! Got straight back on it and lost 5lbs - so don't worry. You are still way way down on a 'normal' eating type week, so you will lose. I think I ate 'because I could' if you know what...

    Realistic Expectation

    Reach for the stars but settle for the moon I would say..... (ok ok all you astrologers - its probably wrong!) What i mean is aim for your 34lbs but dont be disappointed if you dont make it. Its a hell of a lot to lose in 8 weeks. My CDC reckons on 14lbs a month.... so about 28lbs - I know...

    ketosis

    Good for you May.... I felt such a failure when I caved in..... but once i did it, i thought of the old 'well ive done it now... i might as well...' you know the rest. Delighted you resisted, you will feel so much better for it. Can't wait for my weigh in on Saturday : ) Michelle xx

    ketosis

    OMG OMG.... i have just re read my post and I hope that it doesn't encourage anyone to cheat and think its ok. Since then, I have stuck rigidly to the CD recommendations so please know that I am NOT suggesting that anyone does it. Michelle x

    ketosis

    after my first weigh in on the saturday, i had my first sunday and the temptation struck (sunday roast) - i could not resist the temptation and had a small meal of chicken, mash, broccoli, carrot, swede and sprouts. Not happy with that, I had 2 lower fat hot cross buns, 3 chocolate digestives...
  248. Diva2B

    oh no sunk into a funk

    You're being unhappy without a reason to be sweets.... If you have stuck to the CD and drunk plenty of liquids I am SURE you must have lost weight. Go sneak on the scales and see - it just might give you the boost that you need. Do you go to a counsellor to get weighed as it may be that hers...
  249. Diva2B

    Ive just brought size 16 Trousers

    Fantastic! Fantastic... that must be such a good feeling!!!! Well done you! The delight of being able to shop in 'normal' shops and not have to go to certain ones that cater for us cuddlier girls must make you feel good! Well done, its success stories like this that spur me on! Lots of love...

    Help : Do we have to stick to 3 meals???

    Like Cambridge, the sachets can be used either in one hit or split over two 'meals' the calories will remain the same! If you find that 'grazing' (several small meals throughout the day) works for you and helps you stick to it..... go for it! Drink loads and it will soon drop off you! Good...
