As the other advice, this is something you need to see a Dr about Annie. I am sure its nothing but you must get checked over. I am in the same boat but with a different problem! Keep us informed x

I have a Dr's appt this coming week for an unrelated problem, I will mention it then for sure. Its just weird that its after every product but only in the last few days. :( I am not ready to come off this diet yet :) Thank you for your reply x

Hello everyone. I have been on and off CD since end of last year but firmly back on since Feb this year ;) Anyway for the last 3 or 4 days I have been getting palpitations, nothing to uncomfortable but noticeable enough. I did not think to much of it until yesterday when I noticed after every...

Good luck! Make sure you update us, I am an avid lurker and like to know how everyone is doing lol! x

I am really sorry for your loss xx

1 litre of water can weigh 2.2lbs approx! I suspect what caused it was everyday normal weight fluctuations based on your intake that day ;) Its not actual real weight! It doesn't happen very often for anyone to be lighter or the same as a morning weigh-in if taking the risk to jump on the scales...

Just remember, you are completely on track to lose at least a stone this month! That is AMAZING! Good luck and keep us informed!

Well done! That is brilliant! You need to change the details now on the left hand side under your forum name. You are OUT of the 200's! :D

It may be nothing to do with CD as you are 3 weeks in, you could be coming down with something, not drunk enough water etc...or just had "one of those things." If it happens again I would do as suggested above and speak to your CDC or have a chat with a Dr. Hope you feel better now.

For me personally, introducing S&S partly or completely will only be because I am looking for more to eat. Either 4 packs or being able to have a meal type pack plus protein. Without a doubt it will be easier for me I am sure, almost like real food lol but one of the reasons I am doing CD is to...

You are doing really well! Despite ketosis I do still feel hunger. Not "belly hurting have to eat now or I will swoon" hunger but its deff hunger! I just learn to ignore it and concentrate on my water. Your body may still be settling down into the diet and the hunger side will pass, it does for...

How's it going? Hope your evening was ok? A day closer to goals!!

Urgh Teenage problems, I hear you there :( I know its frustrating having what we all feel are "little" losses when losing 2 or 3lb, I always tell myself...I could lose that on SW! But could we really? I have done every diet known to man and I have never had a consistent at least 2lb loss each...

Good luck Surfhunny! I am kinda in the same boat and have told myself this is the LAST restart I will ever do. If I fail this time, its time to move on and I don't want to move on as I know this works! I am fast running out of time for all my "aims" so I will be joining you!! How is today going...

A few years ago I was up at 15 stone, I lost 3 stone through calorie counting and exercise....a few days after hitting 12 stone on the scales I was in hospital with a burst gall bladder! It WAS put down to weight loss as never had a problem before BUT I was eating a very healthy calorie...

Now you take what he said and use it to help you focus on what YOU want. Think of the day when you prove the doubters wrong, imagine their faces! Use that thought to give you strength. Oh and take him off your Christmas list! ;)

You should just go to her, even if you dont get any more packs. Believe me, she should be use to people having a few blips. You need her now more then ever if you still want to do the diet as she can help put you back on track after a good chat. If she is awful to you because you came off the...

I am from the "Other side" lol ( Cambridge diet) but I just wanted to say that you look absolutely lovely!

You won't regret it! Good luck!! If I was you I would gently start cutting down on the carbs and start upping my water, it will REALLY help for when you start. I will look forward to seeing how you do! Make sure you start a diary so we can all stalk...oops mean support you ;) x

I am hoping to stay in or at least near Ketosis over Xmas day, I think if I stopped now because I knew I was going to be eating on Xmas day I would be in real danger of starting on the slippery slope. If I was you, I would forget the weekend and just carry on these next few days as normal on...

Have fun! Sounds bliss! Well the manicure bit does, I am a weird girl specimen as I hate shopping with a passion! Much prefer the "add to cart" button on a monitor ;) xx

Spangles 14 lbs - 7lbs = 7lbs to go. Rosebud: 14lbs Rkmriddell: 10lb. 2.25lb down - 7.75 to go Candlewix: 10lbs Violet: 6lbs Clear As Yoghurt:16lbs - 8.5lbs = 7.5 to go. SurreySuperTrooper: 7lbs Mishie: 14lbs - 4lbs - 6 lbs - 4lb to go !! Emsiem: 7lbs -4.5lbs 1.5lbs to go !! Mama22: 8.6lb -2.2...

Oh well done for not giving into a binge after a horrible row :( That is such a positive out of a crappy situation! I am like you and I turn to food usually in those times. I have friends who will say things like "Oh I was so upset, I didn't eat for 2 days" etc.. That is such an alien concept to...

You are doing great Keighley, just try so hard to get yourself through these next few days knowing you can have a well planned Christmas off. Let that thought try and keep you going. Its just a few days away hun xx

I am still here! Thank you for checking up one me! I have been reading lots rather then posting as I have needed to really dig deep this week and was not feeling very positive. I stuck it out though, despite being a naughty daily weigher and not really seeing the scales move. Official weigh in...

Well done! That is a fantastic first weigh in!

Excellent! haha and I still managed to find the "like" button on your mahooovise good times pic! :D

Well done Claire! This just proves how much your head is in the right place! It must be scary enough taking your son to get his treatment without worrying on top about the trigger that it may be food wise:( So now you KNOW it does not have to be a trigger when your head is securely in the zone...

Thanks Claire x I will be keeping tabs on you as well now! Can't wait for your first weigh in!! I thought I would stop by my diary this morning to preach to the world that the mint crunch bars are EEEEWWWW! :( I had one last night and seriously it was like eating a block of toothpaste! Gutted...

Spangles 14 lbs - 1.75lbs, 12.25lbs to go. Rosebud: 14lbs Rkmriddell: 10lbs Candlewix: 10lbs Violet: 6lbs Clear As Yoghurt:16lbs - 6.5lbs = 9.5 to go. SurreySuperTrooper: 7lbs Mishie: 14lbs - 4lbs - 9 lbs 1lb to go !! Emsiem: 7lbs -1.5lbs 5.5lbs to go !! Mama22: 8.6lb -3.2 lost - 5.4 to go...

You can do this Claire :) Just think how FANTASTIC you are going to feel when you get into bed tonight with a "guilt" free mind. Just keep focusing on that thought. Break the cycle....today IS the day!! xx

Oooh I made a pretty ticker :D Just testing to see if it shows lol!

Welcome back! I have just read through your whole thread! I am so happy for you that you are in a better head space now. Also pleased to read that your son is doing well! Good luck with the restart! You KNOW you can do this! Keep updating your thread so we can all cheer you on! xx

Well I went for my weigh in and my last appt until the middle of Jan! eeek! I have lost 4lbs! Happy with that! This week has been very trying! Hence not being around much to post, I hope for that to change this week as especially without any CDC appts for the next 6 weeks, I am going to need...

If you really crack on this week, buckle down and drink lots and lots of water you may have a whoosh next week which WILL motivate you. The hard part will be feeling hunger again as you get back on track and thinking to yourself that you have ruined it anyway because of the weekend so then give...

Oh you are gorgeous! Love the pictures, you MUST be so pleased to see results like that! Makes all the being completely 100% sooooo worth it!

Actually I was just thinking when I ordered some tetras from my cdc she had no problem with me having just tetras when I mentioned it as I had a couple of really very busy days. She did not bat an eyelid! I think its just fine.

I have read of people having only the tetras for their whole weight loss journey. I do believe though that you have to drink a bit more water with them. Hope this helps x

Keep going Loveyloveyy! You have done the very hardest bit now :) I agree with Shini very much, I had an episode with some salami sandwich meat last week :( I was so angry at myself as for me, where I am, this diet is NOT cheap and I could not understand why I was basically throwing money down...

spangles: 14 lbs Rosebud: 14lbs Rkmriddell: 10lbs Candlewix: 10lbs Violet: 6lbs Clear As Yoghurt:16lbs - 2.5lbs = 13.5 to go. SurreySuperTrooper: 7lbs Mishie: 14lbs - 4lbs 10lbs to go !! Emsiem: 7lbs -1.5lbs 5.5lbs to go !! Mama22: 8.6lb Lost_Soul: 14lbs MrsFatBum: 14lbs Loveloveyy: 14ibs...

This part WILL pass honest! It feels like only yesterday when I really had doubts about cracking on lol but I am now starting my 3rd week, it really, really does fly, I think because we concentrate so much on official weigh days that we don't really notice the rest of the week. Keep going, just...

Yeah Spangles, after next week my next appt will be 23rd Jan! I dont like to ask if I can pay "over time" as I know its her income and I can do it, its just not the sort of hit I wanted right before Christmas, I know if I was eating I would have to buy food and its kinda the same thing. But I...

Eek just actually sat and worked it out properly and it will be 6 weeks worth that I have to buy next week :( Blah! I feel awful begrudging her time off lol... I just never assumed it would be 6 weeks. Never-mind I guess.

Well done for starting! It really is worth pushing past those first few yuck days! How are you getting on today? x

Aww thank you all so much for your lovely support. Salami gate is firmly behind me, totally worried me how much I put a dyson to shame when I was inhaling that though! lol! Weigh in day! Though I am completely confused! I have decided to go by MY scales as I am not sure my lovely CDC has a...

Fantastic loss!! Results like that make all this worthwhile! Well done xx

How are you going Bubble? Xx

I am coming to the end of week 2 so I'm still in the phase of trying different packs. Though I always weirdly feel greedy when telling my CDC what I want for the week lol! Strange! At the moment mine are in a box and I just pull one out and let it surprise me! It's my only vice these days haha!

Oooooh I just saw your weigh in this week! Fantastic!! Well done Spangles xx

Thank you bluegirl. That saying is a good one! I can't thank you as I'm on my phone and don't know how to find the button lol! I'm still going BUT last night I stupidly, stupidly ate a WHOLE packet of salami sandwich meat :( why?! This morning of course I show a gain :( it worries me as I am...

Oooh I am in! I will be having a Christmas dinner minus the fun stuff like potato's yorkshires, parsnips etc :( I am aiming for 16lbs by New years eve. Because I am greedy lol spangles: 14 lbs Rosebud: 14lbs Rkmriddell: 10lbs Candlewix: 10lbs Violet: 6lbs Clear As Yoghurt:16lbs

Oh well done! That is so inspiring to people like me just starting out on CD :)

Hiya! How is it going for you? How did your weigh in go? Is that the result in your signature? 8lb? Well done! I did a vlcd last year and stopped before finishing and its so hard to get back on it so I have decided this is the last time, after this no more, so I have to DO it. You and I know...

Thank you lovely lady! I am very pleased but I also know a lot of it was the infamous "water weight" but also I literally stuffed myself silly leading up to my start date and I was more bloated then a bloated thing when I started lol! I am hoping now that by cracking on it will be "proper" ugly...

Oh hun to be honest I think you showed massive constraint at only having what you did! You could of used it as an excuse to go completely wild food wise and ate your way through Butlins without a care in the world. Give yourself some credit! And its not like Butlins is healthy city with nothing...

Ooh exciting about the tax rebate! Bah to being sick :( Good luck with weigh in! xx

Congrats on the loss!! Your ticker is looking VERY impressive! x

Oh happy days! :553: I lost 7lbs! Ok so I know a lot of that will be water etc but I have just shed HALF A STONE in a week! Now to crack on with week 2...:o Please hunger go away and learn that you are not getting sated! I hope everyone else is having a nice a Monday as possible! I am off...

I wouldn't know how to use it on an ipad sorry :( Eeek off to weigh in soon! My first one. My scales are telling me that I have not had a ground breaking first loss, so now I am beating myself up for having had a boiled (plain) egg one night this week. Never mind, there is always next week!

That time will come around, sooner then you think and just imagine how amazing it is going to feel. To have to get stressed because you can't choose what to wear and not stressed because of feeling awful in what you are wearing etc! You are doing so well, this is all yours for the taking.

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow. Just hang on to the thought of weigh day to try and help beat that rumbly tummy in to submission! xx

Hi :) How is your day going today? Do you feel any better? Keep telling yourself that is NOT forever. We CHOOSE to do this for now. That's all. Keep on keeping on xx

Thank you all for your amazing support. It means a lot. I am still going...though I stupidly, stupidly gave in and had a boiled egg last night, it really was either that or take residence in my fridge and work through it step by glorious step :( I found a spread sheet in one of the sticky...

Just stopped in to say that I am really enjoying reading your diary! Looking forward to more updates! Keep going hun xx

I have no words to help make you feel better but I wish I could give you a gentle hug right now. In some ways I understand every word you have wrote. I am thinking of you xxx

I feel your pain :( This is my first weekend on CD. There are also some social events that usually I would wholeheartedly join in with...but I just cant see how it will be fun sipping water and watching people empty their plates arrrrggghhh! I should be a fun jolly person without food and...

3.25lbs is such a good loss! Well done! I love your attitude of this being a one time deal. I am proof that it is to easy to fall back on (different vlcd), though I did not finish that time, hence being back. So I am with you on doing this and not relying forever more on CD. It would be to much...

Thanks for the lovely welcome :) No Shrinkin Violet, I have not told him, I swear if he does not notice he will be back on the plane out there! So I am coming to the end of Day 2. Apart from wanting to eat my own arms (and anyone else's who is kind enough to offer) I am doing ok! I am so...

Its cheaper then popping to the shops for milk and coming away with £20 worth of c*ap! Daily! Or is that just me :D Saving money is all good!

Good luck for weigh in! I can't wait to read your update. Your diary is a fantastic read and it REALLY helps people like me! Thank you!

Thank you Spangles! I feel like I should ask for your autograph! I have been following your diary as a lurker! I so hope I can have just half the determination and success you have!! xx

Just stopping by to show you some support. I am right behind you, so please keep leading the way! Its day 1 for me! We can soooo do this. We choose to do this because we actually care about ourselves! xx

Hello all! :wavey: Today I start Cambridge! Nervous and excited sums up how I feel. Obviously I am already dying of hunger and have no idea how I will do this and I have only been up an hour haha! ;) Strange, most "normal" days I don't get hungry until lunchtime but without fail my body is on...
