    Hi. I remember when WW introduced Core (v similar to EE) a lot of members found that they STS or gained the first week, simply because they were eating more (albeit healthy and on plan) food than they had before they started.

    D'ya know sometimes the thought is worse than the action. No-one takes any notice at the pool - I reckon it would take a Pam Anderson type figure to get people looking! Why not try it just once (and take a friend for moral support) and then if you still feel really uncomfortable with it you...

    Question about exercise and AAM

    Hi My CDC said that eating every fifth week means we don't need a medical check up. It's something to do with a report on safety of VLCDs which recommends medical supervivion or a break after following a vlcd for a month. I know most people on 790 plan report similar losses to SS so it...

    SS or 790?

    Thanks Helen, good to know someone else has done this and then gone on to SS. Your ticker is impressive, do you mind me asking how long it's taken so far?

    SS or 790?

    I have just arranged a meeting with new CDC for next week - she seems lovely so can't wait! Counsellor suggested maybe starting with 790 for a week or so and TBH had not even thought about this previously. Has anyone out there done this and what are the losses like?

    Whats happens on Monday with cdc

    Mine talked about the plan and products, gave me an info pack, got me to fill in medical form and weighed me. Also told me to make sure I measured myself. Am restarting with new CC on Tues (also got plans for weekend so impractical to start immediately) so will be interesting to see if any...

    temporary stop.

    Sorry Isobel, I didn't mean to be touchy:o , just keep kicking myself for stopping. What plan are you on? Nat. x:)

    temporary stop.

    Thanks Guys, Isobel I have been genuinely ill but as you say may now be using this as an excuse! Spaceangel, that's a fab idea - think I might just find a CDC and do that. Nat.

    temporary stop.

    Hi all. I posted Tues night to say was struggling with nausea and headaches. I had some lovely replies and was very grateful for the support I received. I decided later that night that I would stop the diet and come back to it in a couple of weeks. My reasons for this are that I have been...

    Feeling grotty.

    Thanks Jennie, having had to quit LL after being ill and no longer being able to keep packs down I just panicked that similar might be happening now. Will get bars tomorrow and just shakes for a week I think. The hugs helped:) thank you soo much. Nat. xx

    6th week weigh in

    WEll done you for carrying on. I think a real test of your determination and you won:D . Your losses are great and a real inspiration to someone like me on their first week. Keep up the fab work!

    Feeling grotty.

    Feeling really sick and woozy today and last night. Thought nausea might be due to LL water flavour last night but still feel the same this morning. Am on day 5 of SS, really can't face any foodpacks at the mo. The thought of the soups is dreadful but I might try a shake for lunch...

    Hi and well done Louisa:D

    Bars - how soon?

    Cheers DQ.:)
  240. natpot

    Bars - how soon?

    When can I expect my CDC to offer me bars? Can I have them as soon as I am in ketosis or does it need to be established for a week or two? Also are mix a mousse granules and savoury drinks same rules? :confused: I am finding it quite tough to only have three packs a day compared to the 4 I...

    Do you use ketosticks at home?

    Hi Jenny, well done on getting to day 6 - is your WI tomorrow (mine is weds morning which will only be 5/6 days)? As you say I can see little reason to keep testing with the p sticks unless cheated but it was good to check it out earlier - I am officially in ketosis! Am hoping this means I...

    Do you use ketosticks at home?

    Thanks Mizzy, I guess I just want to know that my body is a fat-burning machine lol! How are you getting on, are you doing SS? Nat. x
  243. natpot

    Do you use ketosticks at home?

    Thanks so much for both of your replies. Will get some ketosticks as you say Brad they will be a good reassurance that actually am in ketosis. Will follow your advice Roch and wait for a week or so before indulging in the occasional Dr P. Hope you both have a good day! Nat. x
  244. natpot

    Do you use ketosticks at home?

    I was considering buying some of these today to keep an eye on my progress. CDC didn't mention them or the testing at all and don't know if can buy them from her? Bad breath has arrived with a vengeance this am so pretty good sign am in ketosis but would like to know! Also, has anyone else...

    Week one weigh in results

    Hi CJ and well done on your loss. 6lbs is a brilliant start! :D I hope I do as well on Weds. Keep up the good work. Men nearly always lose faster than women so try not to compare your losses with hubbys? Nat. x

    The October BulgeBusters!!!

    Hi Kazz, I don't know about you but I think I may as well aim quite low whilst doing this extreme diet. Doesn't seem to make much sense stopping before I am completely happy and as i haven't been a healthy weight in all my adult years I don't know what will suit me til I get there. I am...

    The October BulgeBusters!!!

    Hi, I started on Friday 12 October on CD SS and really enjoying it so far. I want to lose 5 stone altogether. I did LL earlier this year for 7 weeks and was then ill (not because of diet) so had to stop for a while. I regained all that I had lost and then some! Chose CD as couldn't face...

    LL savoury drink on CD?

    Thanks Isobel, I have just checked my stocks and only have couple left so will prob use them til I see my CDC on Weds. Shocker that they are that high in salt though!

    LL savoury drink on CD?

    Does anyone know can I use up my leftover LL savoury drinks now that I've started on CD? They contain salt which I understand I'm not supposed to have on this program. My CDC said they would be OK but would like to double check this.

    WHAT'S YOUR COUNSELLOR LIKE?

    I'm not too sure about my CDC. I have only met her once so far and although she was friendly she seemed distracted and disinterested. She weighed me and said I didn't have to go every week if I was happy to keep a check on myself. She was larger than me (so very overweight) and although I...
