Hey Flowey moan away!! I had a crap day yesterday...I find I struggle with the diet when I feel emotional about stuff and also when I feel I have achieved something, I have became so aware of how I rewarded myself with food. This is a tough diet when we are having a down day and with wee...

Wow wow wow..the incredible shrinking lady!! You look great, just think you will never be your starting size again!!!!

Hi Flowey I found this post from 2007 from a CDC called JustJo "Milk contains 5g of carbs per 100ml. Cambridge is calculated to be just under the ketosis level for most people. As has been said, everyone's ketosis levels are different - therefore, some people can get away with adding more...

and just think you will have less than 100lbs to lose!!!!!!!

hey Lisa be sure to post how you get on!! good luck!! Kirsty

nothing tastes as good as thin feels?

well done!!!!!!

Hey Bex..well done! Are you measuring your waist etc? My CDC told me to measure every week...so if it is a small weight loss compared to what you were expecting, you may find you have lost inches instead....keep going Kirsty

I want to play!!!!!

Hi I had this problem before SS, I went to my gp and she said it was being caused basically by my weight, she thought it was one of my lower ribs digging into my stomach....dont know if this is the type of pain you have? My pain was always worse if I had been on my feet a while.. Since...

You look great Charlotte!! Kirsty

Hi Amyeve I am only on day nine and having the exact same issue...I thought it was perhaps the detox from carbs....then thought it was my shampoo, then thought it may have been my brush!! I am going to ask my CDC on saturday about it .....I have stopped using conditioner which has helped...

Thanks guys...Yes Liz I agree, I have ss for 9 days now and am quite light headed especially in the evening so I think the yoga might be a good idea to start. Kirsty

Not sure if I am posting this in the right place, but was wondering if any CD'ers had bought any? I was thinking of buying the Davina Mcall one as it seems to have the best reviews on Amazon...my only concern is...I have not excercised in about 15 years! any recommendations? Kirsty

I find drinking my water with a straw helps...no idea why, but it goes down easier lol
