    Constipation (tmi sorry)

    dulcolax is a tablet but I would only ever take 1 if I were you, I googled 'dulcolax pain' once and the posts online were seriously frightening! one stated the pain after taking 2 was worse than labour!!!

    any ideas what are the nicer soups to try ?

    I think the taste of the chic orange one is fine but (this might sound weird) it hurts my throat when I drink it? gives me a sore tickly feeling! and I tried it 3 separate times as well lol, so I don't know what's in it that doesn't agree with me hah :(

    PCOS and Lighter Life

    i definitely think that i lose a tiny bit less (have done LL now doing CD) because of my PCOS however, i am definitely losing more than i would on say WW or SW. i lose less than the others doing the same diet as me, but i still lose more than i would doing an alternative diet. if this makes...

I feel...

    New to CD - help

    I think this is common cuz when I started my CDC wouldn't let me have tetras for first 2 wks either ... only learnt from here that I was allowed!

    im the same as you i only have bars tetras or the spicy tomato soup at work... and if i want the least questions from noseys i have the soup, then it just looks like a normal cup a soup, cuz i stir them like crazy as well when i'm making them! hah

    this is my exact goal. most specifically the universal studios and 10 stone part... i've never been to the US before so feel like maybe i shouldn't make my first trip a theme park trip but i am DYING to go to universal studios!! one day, one day, we shall both get there!!! :D

    I have wanted one of these for sooo long, but is it a bit awkward to use? haha When i'm watching TV i've been just using my brothers old weights, because my arms are probably my least favourite thing of my whole body... i like exercise you dont have to think too much about! :p

    Whats the best amount of water for powdered shakes?

    i think it is all down to individual taste, i do mine with 8floz as it says on the packet, but i do like to also add ice with it, so i'm not really sure how much i end up with! i would say just keep testing out adding more water until you are happy with it :)

    Breaking Dawn

    i think the scene after the credits was definitely setting up the next film, like 'the volturi want something from the cullens and will stop at nothing to get it' kinda vibe... heh

    Weight loss Diary & General musings...

    I agree, especially about the water! 3 litres a day is so easy when i'm sat at my desk at work with my 1L bottle, but at home i find it a struggle!! and even worse when i stay at my boyfriends house as i have to drink tap water when i have a pretty bad addiction to Volvic :rolleyes: guess its...

    Longevity on CD

    yep, that is right, is on SS you can only do 12 weeks then have to step up to 810 for a week, then you can do another 12 weeks SS/SS+ .. i think those are the guidelines for all VLCDs, so you can definitely be on Cambridge Diet for a year just not completely on Sole Source for the whole 52...

    Deflating the Bouncy Castle

    last week I kept having dreams that I accidentally ate loads!! in my dream I was so paranoid that I would eat and I did, funny though because I don't know about you but in real life I am hyper aware of every bit of food anywhere near me so know it couldn't happen!! hope you have a nice...

    Meal bars...

    that's why I prefer the crunchy bars, I dont like the taste or texture of the others (I still do have choc orange sometimes though! ha)

    Breaking Dawn

    I think it was definitely the best one so far. considering the slightly odd plot they had to work with (don't get me wrong I love the books!) I think they did an amazing job!!!!!

    Oh My Days!!!

    I don't stick to packs as rigidly as you do, but i do stick to about 5 or 6. . however i have to agree 100% about the porridge, i couldnt finish a bowl because i found it so awful, and i tried 3 times! haha glad you got to swap them back!!!
  42. barbara-ann

    Tetra bricks?

    i like the tetras but i wouldnt be able to eat 3 a day everyday, mainly because i feel like they make my breath even worse! (well they make my mouth taste funny at least!) ha
  43. barbara-ann

    How do you plan your packs for the week?

    rolly I have been a bit OTT with my packs but mine are stored by day! I like to think that this is helping me for when im eating again as I will be an expert at forward planning!! hah

    Joining in Xmas dinners

    lady where I work is very very much like this. eats a large amount every day but every time she offers it around before eating the rest herself (and normally keeps pestering until someone takes some). she knows I am on this diet and offers me something every day too, think she is trying to crack...

    Down to a size 14!!

    Ahh that amazing, you're even more of an inspiration to me now!! And I did think I was only 5ft 4, but my CDC measured me at 5ft 5, and I'm taking any help I can get in the BMI department for now! :D

    good luck!! saw my mum fall off her diet wagon when she stocked up on treats for my brothers visiting!! so good that nothing can tempt you :)
  58. barbara-ann

    do you measure?

    sorry to jump in here but can you tell me what her reason was for saying it can be misleading? it's more accurate than weight surely? I'm just confused, don't want to be measured if its no good etc?? x

    on the verge of cracking :-(

    this happened to me yesterday :( it all started when the water cooler at work had something wrong with it, water tasted funny and so no one could drink from it anymore but I already had had a glass!! i felt sick the rest of the day (I declared I had been poisoned!! ha) and I ate chicken :( but...

    First Weigh In

    just had my first one and I lost 7lb - I'm happy!!!! :)
  64. barbara-ann

    Anyone exercise?

    rolly, my CDC said that after the first week I could exercise as much as I wanted as long as I was feeling ok afterwards, if your body is coping with it and you want to do it I think it would be fine?? but if you feel like you're going to pass out while doing it I guess that's when you cut it...
