    Bulimics or bingers

    Just a thought... When you filled out the medical record form with your CDC did you not tick the box for bulimia/ eating disorder? If so, you shouldn't have been allowed to start... I hope you get the help you need xx

    Bulimics or bingers

    i am a binger but to be honest i find the abstinence works for me. i tend to binge when im eating as a little leads to alot... one biscuit and i finish the pack for example. so abstaining and having no contact with food whatsoever (4 shakes a day) is great for me. try to do a few days just on...

    Eaten but not bad!

    Is that Chinese 5 spice? Be careful it's not loaded with carbs! Think it's got sugar in if... Worth checking! Depends on the quantity as to whether you come out of ketosis. The bulk in your bowel may cause a gain (but it won't be fat) so be prepared for that. Also the spice might cause water...

    Does it REALLY get easier after day 4???

    It's definitely never going to be easy! We all eat for different reasons besides physical hunger... So now we need to find other ways to deal with those emotions instead of feeding them! Be prepared for an emotional journey!!!! I sat through my family having an Indian last night and it WAS...

    "Will my crash diet kill me?"

    Nicola how come you needed to ask CD head office about exercise? How come they got involved? Was there a reason why you needed to ask head office and not ur CDC?

    Nelli, maybe you will get a whoosh like i did last week after taking movicol. Could you be constipated or retaining water perhaps? Try to drink as much as poss and I really hope you good loss come Monday. Good luck x

    CD SS WITH A BROKEN LEG

    i would say no! stop cd ss. you wont have enough cals to keep you going and mend your poor lil body. also you cant do ss if you have had a major op within 3 months so that kinda gives you the answer. i know you havent (or maybe you have...) had an op but the principles are the same, you still...

    scales not moved in 5 days??

    i blame constipation! apparently the longer it is in 'there' the more water your body retains to combat it. i always weigh loads less once it has 'moved'. sorry if tmi x

    GP is concerned :-( blood tests lie ahead

    personally i think the long bleed gives the game away... i am pretty sure its the diet (the other symptoms are also familiar with me). if its not agreeing with you then you really should try something different. its not worth feeling crap! being on ss should make you feel happy and positive not...

    Atkins bar

    yeah it would be fine (as an emergency). will be higher in fats but atkins is not a vlcd so will not be low cal. BUT the main thing is it will keep you in ketosis. Better than nothing at all x

    Hi Amina, the windy pops could be due to constipation.. and also the lack of loss. constipated 'matter' leads to the body retaining water the longer it is there so could affect w.i. I also weigh at the same time every day without fail and def no food/drink before it! Consistency is everything...

    who fell pregnant whilst ss'ing on cd???

    hiya ladies, just wondering if anyone fell pregnant whilst ss'ing and if so how quickly did you find out and stop ss'ing? i am guessing there were no probs due to ss'ing at the beginning... thanks, just for future reference ;) xxx
  114. C

    Pregnancy and Cambridge

    kelliebobz, you can test quite early on to see if your pregnant. work out your cycles and ovulation/ period dates so you know when you can do an early test. this would mean you could find out almost straight away (well within weeks rather than a month anyway) xxx

    Cambridge and Atkins together?

    the carbs for one shake is roughly 14grams (at a guess) and you can only have 20grams a day on atkins induction. of which most of them should come from veg... so you are going to have very little veg! i would say no because although both are ketogenic diets they have very little in common...

    you can use ketostix to test for ketones in your urine but most people dont bother. after being strict for a couple of days (3-5) you will generally go into ketosis. the hunger should subside, you will get bad breath and maybe have more energy. x

    QUESTION ?

    if you are on ss you should ideally move up before bmi 25 (for example bmi 25 + 1 stone). but yes you def need to move up to at least 810 if you are at bmi 25 x
  185. C

    Egypt

    but that said... i NEVER aim for a realistic loss lol!!! so if you aimed for 4lb a week = 20lb! thats better...
  186. C

    Egypt

    well i would say to realistically aim for 3.5lbs a week. so you have 5 weeks = 17.5lbs!
  187. C

    have bitten the bullet...

    hiya ali! i think whatever we can shift is a bonus!!! we should just compare how we feel in 4 weeks compared to how we felt before we started... just to complete 4 weeks of ss is enough for me! 26/27 is sooo close anyway. Today I am a little bunged up. Am glugging strong black coffee...

    CDC - should this be allowed?

    :rolleyes: hhmmmm still not convinced that a 'porky cdc' would have helped me personally. but i guess we all have differing needs.... there are so many people ready to criticise this plan for not working/ gain weight as soon as you stop/ cant keep weight off etc etc... i think we must be proof...

    as long as you understand a gain is inevitable, then i say go for it. if the idea of gaining some weight is too hard to imagine, then dont. we went on a cruise and i gained 1st 4lbs in 2 weeks. BUT i do retain alot of water and have very slow bowels (sorry if tmi lol) so as soon as I got...

    Leg cramps

    i found this; In some cases, the cramps may be a symptom of another condition or problem. For example: Some drugs can cause cramps as a side-effect, or make cramps occur more often. These include: diuretics ('water tablets'), nifedipine, cimetidine, salbutamol, statins, terbutaline...

    yeah kinda... i know which ladies love to chat and i leave about 45-60 mins between appts. some peeps like to weigh and go and thats fine but the majority stay a while. i dont like to cut them off mid-rant so i let them talk and then i get talking lol... and before you know it half and hour...

    CDC - should this be allowed?

    caroline, great post and i totally agree. i even considered taking a 2 month break from counselling others while i got to grips with my weight gain! but i figured it would prob be more detrimental to my ladies and their loss than me still seeing them and losing a few lbs myself. x

    Cosmetic Surgery

    not necessarily, surgery abroad is quite cheap! ;)

    CDC - should this be allowed?
