i went away for easter weekend, and although i fully intended to not do CD, i was good- didn't overeat, ate *mostly* healthy foods and did more exercise than i usually do... ...having said that, since I have come back I have not been able to motivate myself to get back on the SS. In fact I seem...

thank you Dancing! Nice to hear a positive spin on it! But you are right, I have learnt from it- partly I can now see the importance of properly working up through the stages so that food is slowly introduced and doesn't become this big novelty thing! Does anybody else know about the water...

:cry: Well, as planned I came off CD for my easter weekend away, and although I was no angel, I didn't stuff my face or anything, and did lots of walking. HOWEVER, arrived back on the Monday, had curry for dinner in the evening, and even though I had planned to restart CD on the tuesday, I...

i went away for the weekend too... and haven't stopped bingeing since! :eek: Building up the motivation to restart tomorrow! :o

I didn't know there was a limit to how much flabourings we were allowed- i've been knocking back litres of the stuff all week!- could that be why i PUT ON 1/4 lbs this week?!?! :o(

does making muffins actually work? i am scared to try incase i mess it up and waste a pack!

Next weekend I am being taken away by my OH- first time away together, so obv coming off SS to enjoy it properly... which wouldn't be so bad, if 11 days later I wasn't going to america (land of the fatties!) for 2 weeks!!!! Big family holiday/reunion thing so no chance of SSing, plus kinda a...

Is fibre 89 the same as psyllium husks? If not, where can I get psyllium husks from??? x

Also, what does a 'tablespoon' of veg look like, i.e. is that one floret of brocolli (as that's all that will fit on a tablespoon unless i try a balancing act!). And how many sticks of asparagus can you fit on one tablespoon... I am very confused!

Its not too long if i remember correctly- u dont need to go on an organised trip, is an easy journey, although i suppose having some basic spanish helps

I have been reading the pink booklet, and looking forward to moving up the plans (in good time ofcourse). But i am a little concerned that most of the recipes provided include wheat products like bread and pasta, but I am allergic to it. I am not sure it would just be okay to just switch with...

Yesterday I went to Waitrose and spent ages just walking around the aisles before buying some water!!! I never even shopped there before (out of my budget!) Just was all so nice to look at... I've got it bad!!! But i'm actually not even hungry lol

Mexico! Lollypop- BEST tip i can give u if you are in that region, is go down to Playa del Carmen and get the ferry across to Isla Mujeres- it is a really cool little island (you can see Cancun from it) that has AMAZING beaches, and much more laid back nightlife than cancun. My favourite were...

What is the forest fruit water flavouring like? I am always wary of any kind of 'mixed berry' esque flavours as i HATE strawberry flavourings! (might have something to do with the fact that I am allergic to the real thing- even though I loved them!) But i love all the other berry...

woohoo!!!!!!!!!! Triple crown in the bag, bring on France!!!

any 'food-porn' recommendations?! I love the recipes in the food doctor diet book, thinking of buying the actual cookbook version...

Mmmm sounds fab! Maybe a stupid question, but do you need a proper blender or does a stick work?

I only recently realised that my digital scales were broken- they ALWAYS say 11st 11lbs!!! Turned out I was quite a bit more than that, and even now I've lost a stone they still say the same as they did a month ago! oops!

I am watching the rugby- GO WALESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! But have a whole tonne of ironing and marking to do :-S

What if you had one chewy and one crunchy bar a day? that way you wouldn't be overdoing fibre/polyols right??? I LOVEEEEEEEEE the bars- makes me forget this is even a diet!

Inspired by your story, I remembered a beautiful black beaded top I bought in the sale about a year ago- at the time i couldn't zip it up, but it was so cheap and pretty I thought I would buy it anyway and HOPEFULLY someday fit in to it/find someone to give it to/adjust it somehow. Just went...

I am sat here watching Saturday Kitchen. Last night I went to bed with a recipe book rather than a novel (a healthy food one though :p)... Has anyone else developed a sudden fascination with food?! Actually, its not even food, its cooking and all the things that can be done with food! Don't...

Congratulations Lollypop! Where are you going in Mexico? It is the most amazing country in the world!

what are husks??

I am sure I read on here somewhere that you can make jelly out of the MAM and water flavourings... does anyone know how (quantities etc)? :)

I am interested in this too as I am going to the US soon. Not planning on sticking to CD, but considered taking some so that can have maybe one a day. Would you advise (for convenience etc) that I just take bars then? (they are the best after all!)

Jelly??? How do you do that?!

has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you cope?? Any strategies? I was thinking of taking a few shakes so atleast one meal a day can be CD...

a whatta?? no. twas a training course. but oh my god i want to work there (despite the famed 'Google Stone': everyone who works there puts on a stone in the first month apparently!) Seriously, fridges full of every ben and jerrys flavour, innocent smoothies, fancy drinks, AMAZING looking...

I tried that yesterday, and although the first taste was orgasmic, it left a nasty aftertaste. Anyone else found this?

Hello guys, I need your help! :wave_cry: My boyfriend (long distance) doesn't know I am on this diet, and bless him, has booked us a citybreak for our anniversary, which coincides with Easter weekend (coupled with meal booked at fancy restaurant). I have never been away with him before, so...

No! Why??? I am from Wales!!! So maybe kinda like NZ...

Hello everyone! I have been reading these posts for the last week or so, and found them very useful during my first week of CD SSing, so thank you! This evening, I was close to caving... silly really, as over the last week I have had some SERIOUS temptation put in front of me (like spending...
