Hi guys i ask this every time but I struggle with the answer. i'm 5ft 4 and have 1stone 10 pounds left to lose (I've lost 2 already). My bmi is 24.9 so that means I should move up to step 2, that where the problem comes in. Seeing the scales go down is what motivates me, I know it shouldn't...

I've been doing so well, 3.5 weeks on ss then moved up to 810 for 4 days as my BMI was 25 even though I still had 2 stone to lose. I then had a business meal with work, not had one before so had to go and eat!. Well that was the begining of the end, I kept eating the following few days and now...

My bmi is nearly 25 (should be there by next week) but I've still got 2 stone to lose. Max BMI I can have is 25 for my frame, but I'm a small to medium frame so suit being ligher. Do I really have to move up to 810 when my BMI is 25? I'm just worried that it's going to take ages to lose 2...

I'll try the stix just to double check. I'm pleased with the loss. Yours are amazing! thanks for the reply

I'm a returner (never followed it through to the end before) and am 2.5 weeks in, I've continued to have skimmed milk in the day so I guess half ss+. I can't survive without my tea at the moment. Trouble is mid afternoon and first thing in the morning I'm really hungry, my stomach is churning...

Is it too late to join? If not can you ad me please for 10lbs. Are we going up to the 31st or Saturday after? my weigh in is on a saturday so I'll probably go to the 1st June if that's ok. tks

Thanks your a star. Just hope the exercise doesn't slow my weight loss

Thanks Lily, I did think that I should go back to SS and glad you said it too, so I know I'm doing the right thing. When I've been eating everything I've not had my 3rd shake as I've been thinking about the calories but on the first day of 810 I did 3 products and the meal. So if I do SS until...

I've been on SS since the 21st Feb and haven't cheated at all. My BMI is now 25 so I moved up to 810 as per the book, but my counsellor said I didn't have to move to 810 which confused me a bit. I managed day 1 and didn't cheat but from day 2 onwards I've been hopeless! I can manage a bar in...

I'm moving up to 810 this week, just wondering what kind of weekly losses you've all had. Just want to prepare myself if I lose a lot less than I'm hoping. tks

I'm moving up to 810 this week but still have 2 stone to lose. What kind of weekly losses have you all had on 810? I know it varies per person but would be good to have some idea so I'm not too dissapointed. tks all

Thanks Kimboowee. I was hoping that was the case as I want to get as much off with SS before it starts to slow down with 810. I'm wishing my weeks away so I can get to goal. x

I'm hoping one of you guys can give me some advice. I know I'll need to move to 810 when my BMI is 25 but should I move from SS to SS+ before my BMI is 25 or can I go straight from SS to 810 and which is better? also what is the average weekly weight loss on 810 My BMI is 26 at the moment...

Thanks great things x

I'm loving this thread and am following it to keep me on the straight and narrow. Can I ask a question, I'm on day 12, re-starting after a long time away. Is the weight you lose in the first couple of weeks, water weight? It looks good on the scales, seeing a 11lb loss but no changes to inches...

I'm on day 3 of 810, re-started on Saturday. I have the most horrendous headache which I can't shift but worst of all I'm feeling sick after having the porridge and soups. It wasn't like this first time round. Any thoughts as to why? My water intake is around 3 litres a day so I guess I need...

I left last year as I thought I could manage the weight loss myself. Well with the exception of 2lbs I haven't moved. I've emailed my previous counsellor to see if I can re-attend, but I'm a little worried as my bmi is showing as healthy however I am still in size 16, 14 at a squeeze, my...

I was doing really well, then went to visit my mother. Not a good idea on a bank holiday weekend. Ended up having a beef dinner and dessert which made me sooo ill. I'm slowly on the mend today, but I think too much fatty rich food, when I haven't had it for ages tipped my stomach. Am now...

I'm on day 3 and so far so good. I have to admit I still get on the scales daily, but they haven't moved either way at the moment, so I'm feeling quite positive. Even if they do go up, as long as I've stuck to the diet, I know it'll come off somewhere at somepoint. I had pasta on night 1...

Sarah, I was just wondering how you managed moving from cd to RC? I'm thinking of doing it, only because I keep picking at food and have been for the past 3wks. I've still got approx 1.5 stones left to lose, but think that RC GI diet might be the way forward. Did you find when you switched over...

thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to feed them to the other half then, at least I didn't eat them tonight.

I just had to share with you. I'm on day one of ss+ and have just had my fish with two tablespoons of brocolli, followed by a toffee & walnut shake. It was soooooooo nice:D:D:D I've always had lots of salt in my food and could never eat veg without it, but the brocolli, tasted so good. So...

I didn't lose any weight the week I did the bars and they took me out of ketosis, my cdc thinks I'm carb sensitive. I think there are others on here who are also carb sensitive. I was gutted as the bars were lovely. :( I've kept mine so can have one a week as a treat.

phew. I am now relieved. Bought and ate the right stuff. I didn't have hot water before and after though, but did have 1 litre of water before and drank my 2nd litre after though, so should be fine. Thank you both for your help, I love all the ideas and get so carried away being eager to...

Thanks for coming to my rescue. I took a chance in the end and put 2 level tablespoons in as I saw fibre 89 had a carb content. The packet just says psylium husk and I've looked on it and it doesn't say anywhere that anything has been added to it. It looks like really fine ready break. Does...

sorry for the urgent request. Desperate to try and make porridge from the husk for my breakfast but not sure if I've bought the right stuff. It's pure psyllium husk but the nutrients for a 250g bag say: energy: 235kcal protein 2.0g carbs 4.0g of which sugars 1.0 fat nil fibre 88.0g I'm...

what a fantastic story. I'm new on this journey but have been reading lots of the posts on the forums and Mikes hints and tips and encouragement have been great. Sensible solid advice. He'll make a great cdc.

thank you all for your encouragement. On any diet I find the week ok but struggle with the weekends. My OH bought a greggs sausage roll this afternoon and after having a disaster with my vanilla shake this morning (blender broke and I had a vanilla & plastic bits shake:() I have to say it...

what are you studying? I'm completely obsessed by food, it's all I ever talk about, so I'm finding this quite good as it's taking that away and I'm actually looking forward to a bit of fish and veg for when I can start ss+. For someone who would happily eat cake all day, everyday I'm heading...

Emma Treweek. Who is yours? How are you finding CD? I'm so cold it's unbelievable, that and tired. Tried the mushroom soup today, wasn't keen. What are your favourites?

Canton, you?

thanks. Yes I am Welsh, living in Cardiff. I can see you live in Cardiff also. Do you speak Welsh?

Thanks for all your encouragement, it really helps. I love Brittany too, especially when the sun is shining.

well it's been the end of wk 1 on SS and I weighed myself yesterday. A 4lb loss:D. Was hoping for a bigger loss, but after everyones encouragement on here I've perked up. The hardest thing I've found is the cold and tiredness. My hot water bottle has never been so well used, and for feeling...
