That's a fantastic achievement, well done, best of luck for the rest of your CD journey.

Oh, how i wish i'd read this thread last year when i started CD! I didn't exercise, or use any lotions apart from regular body lotion. And as a result of my neglect I seriously need a tummy tuck - and as for my boobs....... well, they're just like two empty crips packets.... i look like a...

Good luck to you both, this diet is the best thing i've ever done. If you stick to it, it works. First few days can be a bit horrible for some people, so be prepared to feel rotten, although some people sail through it without any problems. Once the first few days are out of the way, it's...

Toffee & Walnut is the work of the devil himself!!!! VILE! Almost as bad as choc orange which has to be the very worst. Like all the other shakes, though. Don't get me started on the soups....retchable!

My CDC gave me my yellow book when i started moving up the plans. Don't see any reason why you can't have it when you start, though.

hiya, i'm also on a restart - day 6 for me - it's going ok, better than last time. I keep coming onto here for inspiration and motivation - we can do this!

Well done on your amazing weight loss. Enjoy the porridge, it's great to have a warm brekkie on these cold mornings!

Yes, I have weird dreams, usually about food! I never need as much sleep when i'm on CD, wide awake til the wee small hours, then up early feeling refreshed. Think it's cos we're not eating carbs which make you feel tired and sluggish.

Hi everyone, i'm on day 5 of my re-start. Yes, it is much easier than the last time, think it's because I know that feeling horrible and hungry lasts only a few days, and once i'm in the swing of things i'll feel great. I want to lose 2 stones, so am going to SS for January, and perhaps go up...

Good luck everyone - I'm on day 5 of my restart, going well so far! On third litre of water, and am enjoying a lovely cranberry bar and coffee for lunch....

Good luck, i restarted 1/1/09 - lost 6 stone on CD last year, and gained a stone over Xmas! We can do it!

Well done on the fantastic weight loss, and passing your driving test!

Don't fret, my weekly losses have been all over the place, several stay the sames, never had a consistent good result week after week. But it all adds up, so don't get disheartened.

I've had skimmed milk in my drinks all along - go for it. A little splash won't hurt!

I'm liking the porridge - I add more water and it thickens up nicely after it's been in the microwave. Gonna get some cinnamon today to sprinkle on it. I find it really sweet so don't add any sweetener. I'm thinking they will add some more flavours in the future, seeing as this is called...

I've had skimmed milk in my coffee since I started CD, and it doesn't seem to have affected my weight loss. My CDC did the same when she lost her weight.

Wow, you're looking fantastic, well done!

You look fantastic, it's a fab diet isn't it? Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Thanks so much, guys, I'm really touched by all your lovely comments.

Hello all, Thought you might like to see my pics so far. Warning: blubber on display...for those with a weak disposition please look away! My start pic was taken on 25 March 08 and I weighed 17 stone 9lbs. Second pic was taken 26 May, and i was about 14 stone 7lb. Last pic was taken last...

Oh, i know exactly how you feel - i've had several weeks where i've stayed the same even though like you i was 100% SS- it's so disheartening. My CDC suggested i add a meal, which i did, and i lost weight the following week, only for it to happen again the following week grrrr! I'm on SS+ now...

There's nothing more depressing than doing SS 100% and not losing weight. I've STS twice in the last 3 weeks, I've no idea what my body is up to... it's throwing a major wobbly (although not as wobbly as it used to be!) I can't do anymore than I'm doing now.... 3 packs and 4-5 litres of water...

I love this diet, i've also tried every other diet under the sun, and have failed miserably every time. CD works for me, I've not cheated once, and feel fit and full of energy. It's really tough to start with, but you soon get used to it. That said, it doesn't suit everyone.

I keep on having cheating dreams too ... I'm so relieved when I wake up. I'm sure this is what's kept me on the straight and narrow so far!!!

Thanks girls, I definitely feel bloated, but it's not TOTM...how on earth can i not lose weight, i'm taking in so little? I can't do any more than i'm doing now, so i will stick with it, and hopefully it will eventually come off....

:cry: Been following SS without cheating, and at my WI last week i stayed the same. Was gutted, to say the least. My CDC recommended I add a meal for a week, which i have done, but the scales have not budged. I'm drinking 4 litres of water a day, have about 3 bars per week, and no naughty...

I got my second tattoo done last week, on my wrist, a swirly bracelet of flowers and stars, it's gorgeous! Chose my wrist as it's the thinnest part of my body! And no, it didn't hurt!

Woo hoo! Well done you, keep it up, you'll be at goal in no time at all.

The first couple of weeks on CD were really tough for me...I felt ill, exhausted and faint, not good when you've got kids to look after, and work to go to! But i saw it through, and I have to say that CD is the best thing i've ever done. All i can say is stick with it, wait til your first weigh...

I follow SS, but i do have a little skimmed milk in my drinks, my CDC said this would be ok (she had milk in drinks when she did SS) and it doesn't seem to have affected my weight loss - I've lost over 3 stone in 10 weeks. I just can't bear black coffee, so a drop of milk makes all the...

The bars are an acquired taste! They take a bit of getting used to. I like the chocolate one, but my favourite's the cranberry. Makes a nice change from shakes (can't stand the soups anymore). I have about 3 bars per week, and it hasn't affected my weight loss.

Stick with it, the first few days are horrible. I never thought i could stick to this, but I'm now on week 11, and have already lost over 3 stones, and it's plain sailing now. And if I can do this, anyone can. I have always had zero will power on diets, but once you see the weight coming off...

I didn't cut out carbs before i started, not sure if that made things worse or not. The first two weeks were dreadful, I felt quite sick and dizzy, but i've felt absolutely fantastic since week 3. Just try and keep yourself busy, have plenty of early nights, and keep coming on here for support...

I'm on SS and went on a date last week, we met at a nice country pub, and i just stuck to the fizzy water. My date didn't mention it, it's not such a big deal. Good luck, enjoy your date!

I started out with the soups, the potato and leek was my fave. Then one day it made me retch, so i've avoided all soups since then. The very thought of them makes me feel ill. I just stick to the shakes and bars now.

brilliant! you should be very proud of yourself!

congrats you're doing so well, keep it up!

woo hoo, that's fab!

well done! 2 pounds is great, keep going!

well done, that's fab, keep up the good work!

Snap! I' ve also been SSing for 7 weeks, and have lost 34 pounds as well. Are we twins? I've been reading this forum alot, but haven't felt the need to post very often, as i've not really struggled, in fact the last four weeks have been easy peasy. I can't believe i've not cheated once - I've...

I always have a drop of skimmed milk in my coffee...(have about 4 cups a day)...I can't bear it black. My CDC used to have skimmed in her drinks whilst on SS, and it didn't affect her weight loss, and I've lost 22lbs in 4 weeks so I don't feel it's affected mine, either. I find if I'm really...

Good luck girls, hope you have a successful day. Once the first week is out of the way and you see how much you have lost in a week it will really spur you on. I've done 4 weeks SSing now and it's getting easier.

I've had great support from most of my friends and family. Although a when asked what weight I'd like to get down to, a couple of people have said "oh, that won't suit you" or "you'll be too thin then". Ignore all the negative comments, remember that when you reach your goal you'll be getting...

I felt the same as you today, very dizzy and lightheaded, at one point I thought I would faint. I've been having my packs and drinking loads of water, so I've no idea why I felt like this. I've been on SS for 2 weeks and haven't had any problems so far. Luckily it was my WI tonight, and my...

that's fantastic!!!!! well done, and get well soon

Paul, you're an inspiration! Well done!

well done, that's fab!!!! :)

Well done, keep going. I'm on day 10 so a little bit ahead of you, it gets easier each day!!

I know everyone keeps saying it, but it does get easier. First few days are vile - I felt ill and miserable and was craving food like crazy. But I'm on day 9 and really feel like I've turned a corner. Not hungry, and cravings seem to be less and less. Keep going, you can do this!

Don't be down, 10 pounds is absolutely brilliant!!!! Almost a stone!! Wow!!! Well done x

The first week is pure torture! I was so miserable for the first few days, I was evil. But I'm now on day 8 and I don't feel hungry! Had to force my lunchtime shake down today. The headaches and tiredness have disappeared, the difference in how I feel today compared to a few days ago is...

I like the potato and leek and the vegetable soup, hate all the others! I like the cappucino shake -blend with ice, if you imagine hard enough it's like a frappacino from starbucks! Also the vanilla, banana, choc mint and choc are fine. I'm one of the few people that hate the strawberry...

Thanks guys, you're all really inspirational to us newbies on CD. This forum has helped me out so much during my first week.

Keep going! You've nearly done your first week. I'm exactly the same as you, my first week was probably the most miserable experience I can remember, but stick with it. This forum is great for inspiration and motivation, so when it gets all too much to cope with, log on and let the fab people...

Hello everyone! Completed week one on SS - I have to say it's been hell on wheels. But, the results from my first weigh in are amazing. 11 pounds lost!! And even more fabulous is the inch loss! Bust - 1 1/2" Waist - 2 1/2" Belly - 3 1/4":D Hips - 1/4" Upper Arms - 3" (bye bye, bingo wings)...
