I'm no dietician etc or medical person but from what I've read if you're on less than 1200cal a day you would still loose weight eg weight watchers but it wouldn't be much . It's all about cal intake being less than cal going out . So if you've had a meal and then been super active (more than...

I asked my CDC about the 3 v 4 packs as I am 5 foot 7 and that extra inch can't make much of a difference. She said loosing weight is about consuming less calories than you are using in a day which is what kicks you into ketosis by reducing the carbs. She also said SS+ is 3 plus 200Cal meal...

I dont think so. If you have 3 packs instead and the chicken/fish and veg it should be ok.....

I agree and am totally happy with you being team leader (it was ur idea after all) Although I have no scales at home (part of my psychological weaning off weight controlling my life) so I'll weight myself at my mums until I start seeing my CDC on 9th. Then I guess she'll weigh me every week...

Ok - its six weeks to val day though isn't it? It's my birthday the week after and I'm going to allow myself 'something' when I get there. Nothing big just something not on the diet .... Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yay you found it! ;) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I resisted a Jaffa cake. Small but a minor leap forward. Everyone at work asked why and so I told them. It surprised me how supportive they were. The two girls in my office suggested we diet together so here's hoping! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Keep it going. It's good your CDC is giving u mixed stuff that helps. Let me know it anyone finds an electric hand blender they like! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yes it is I think more so if you're having to feed a family as well as yourself. If its just you or two of you I think it works out a bit easier to cope with Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Gawd knows I'm no good at names erm..... Let me have a think Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Good luck Lee you've found the right place. Lots of support here and Ive only been here a few days

T minus 10 Well I just wrote a whole load and lost it! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :mad: I was updating on my plan so far... this week the water increase has gone ok so far. I seem to drink it happily and absent mindedly but forget to refil it! DOH! I am eating normally at the mo but plan to cut down...

no idea hon but we can start a team of our own if you like? There are a few people starting now ish and could Join? eg Jo Jo etc

cant take the credit :-) I read it somewhere on here... I am now looking at blenders tho as I might have my CD blender at work and then treat myself to an electric hand one at home.. oooo the extravagence!

Any Stargate fans out there? just got the box set to take my mind off eating!

have you tried blending the porridge if you dont like lumps?

oooh yes do let me know I am not sure whether to buy a CD blender (how much was it) or a mini electric one? I have a hand mixer but I dont think it crushes ice

and you can only get them from the docs I guess?

how do they work?

depends on the water doesn't it? they should list it on the back anyway

Is it a good idea to buy a hand blender then?

Never heard of it - how does it work? Welcome tho I have found a lot of info and support here

Can you have linseed? I always find this helps me

Sounds like its gone well! I like porridge so i am hoping the CD stuff will be just like a relatively normal breakfast for me! Fingers crossed for you. Glad you like your CDC I think its important. I have only spoken to mine and I am bit daunted by her and her success to be honest

thanks I will try that

Well here we go.... T minus 11 and counting 11 days till I start CD. Got to have a docs signature due to medication issues and a cautious CDC. That's ok I'd rather she was cautious that blasé. Water intake increased to 2l a day already (she only told me Tue!) so gold star for me! There MUST...

Hi I am due to start on 9th jan and my CDC (not met yet) has advised me to up my water intake and decrease my carbs before then. I've never done this or any meal replacement before. I've started to increase my water but am storing it all instead of going to the loo! I'm having trouble finding...

What foods can you have in your meals? Has anyone got alternatives to potatoes and bread? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Starting on 10th Jan as have to get my doc appointment done first as I havent done this before.

Hi I'm new too. My CDC meeting is 9th Jan after my docs appointment. Would be good if we could see how we get on being new at the same time. Have you done Cambridge before? I am a bit nervous

HI I finally let the doctor weigh me a couple of weeks ago and found out I was just over 14 stone as I suspected. Surprised no but disappointed with myself.. yes! I've lost weight before on WW going from 12.5 st to 10 st several years ago but this time I think I need something with less...
