    CD vs LT

    Hiya! Sorry for butting in, but I'm doing CD and I just wanted to answer your question about the water flavourings. yep! there are two; Berry and Orange, you just add a bit to water and can have them hot or cold, and we have recipes too for all kinds of things to do with shakes, soups and...

    CD and holiday's do they go together?

    I'm off to France for two weeks in August and I have no intention of SS'ing whilst there. Some people do it and manage it, but I'm not going to even try. I'm going to concentrate on eating healthily and enjoying myself, and will be staright back to my CDC when I get home. It's a break, not a...

    can anyone give me any advice

    Hi Danni You mustn't worry about what you lose in one week, wait and see you'll average out okay. You just might not have had much fat stored in your liver in the first place which I think is what makes up a lot of the weight lost in the first week. 4lbs is a good start, don't let it trouble...

    what else can comfort me ?

    Definitely start right now, don't wait until tomorrow as you'll probably do the 'last supper' thing tonight and make it even harder for yourself. Besides, if you start right now then when you wake up in the morning it will be day 2 of restart :D (that's the way my crazy brain works). Just...

    Sick & Tired!

    We've all been there, we must all have horror stories and we've all got photos that we hate and occasions when we wished the ground would swallow us up. That's why we've turned to this diet. Stick to the diet, you'll be in ketosis in no time and the weight will soon fall off and then you won't...

    Anyone up for a two week Mini Goal???

    Good idea! Can I join too please? I kicked myself out of ketosis last week and am struggling to motivate myself to get back in again. It's horrible being hungry all the time so I need to be 100% and get back to it.

    The embarrassing CD question thread!

    You cope by always having a breath spray with you and by taking extra fibre each day so that you don't get into the position of having to pass a watermelon :D I can recommend psyllium husks and Gold Spot if it's any help?

    Bra Size

    I am so glad that this thread got started as I was thinking that I must be some sort of freak. I've lost two stone but gone up from a D to a DD in bras and couldn't work that out at all, now I can see why. Thanks ladies, what would I do without you?

    can't manage to stick to it

    It's very difficult until the weight losses start to show; then the motivation really kicks in. I have struggled with this diet and had more re-starts than I can count but I keep ploughing on and you have to too. Once you have to buy smaller clothes or someone remarks on your weight loss it...

    I am so upset and disgusted with myself.

    Don't worry, we've all been there at some time or another I bet. I actually ate a chicken kiev which my Mum left, and I don't even like the bloody things but I can't stand waste. You just have to learn from it and not let it escalate into a full on binge.

    Quark???

    When I did Slimming World a few years ago I had Quark, it's not great, a bit like cottage cheese I suppose, but we were told to use it instead of marge or butter :( I gave up on it in the end as I didn't like it, but it's a matter of personal choice. Give it a try and you never know, you might...

    argument

    Can't live with them...can't shoot 'em. Seriously, I honestly feel such sympathy for anyone that is battling with this diet without the much deserved support from loved ones. I hope that we can somehow fill a bit of that void on here because I know how important it is. :hug99:

    Have We Entered The Cheating Zone

    Can I just say that I think we use the word 'cheat' as a generic term; it's short, easy to spell and conveys the message that we have done something that we shouldn't have: which when on SS is the truth. It does worry me sometimes what people will use as an example of 'cheating' because in...

    As my CDC likes to remind me 'you alone can do this, but you don't have to do it alone' :hug99: I know how you feel; it's terrible when you cheat but you must put it behind you and get back on the plan. You will learn eventually that there is nothing to be achieved by turning to food and...

    Once in ketosis you should find the hunger easier to deal with, although your brain might keep telling you want to eat which is a bit of a challenge at times, but your stomach should be nice and quiet.

    Hi Greg I didn't switch from LL to CD, but I just wanted to wish you well and say that I am sure you will be very successful so don't worry. Make sure that you get a ticker (click on anyone's and it will take you to the site) and then we can all see how you get on.

    Good website for you all.

    I made a model using my own head (not pretty I can tell you), but I can't work out how to transport it, when I cut and paste it disappears. That's a shame because it would give you all a laugh.

I went for 10 years without telling him what I...
  132. Miel

    ANYBODY ELSE???

    I never told DH until we went to Slimming World together a few years ago. I was so embarrassed because I weighed more than him and he's 6 foot. Since then I added a few more stone but didn't tell him. When I started CD I told him outright after I had lost a stone; he was really lovely and is...

    where are my happy feelings that come with being on ketosis ?

    I had one day of feeling like skipping about, and did some much needed housework and now I'm easily tired and find basic things really hard work, like vacumming or mowing the grass. Still, can't have everything I suppose.

    The hardest part is the first stone I think, after that you start to notice the difference and that helps to keep you going. It's always hard to motivate yourself all day every day and this diet is unforgiving, so you have to. But it does get easier when you start to see results I promise...

    I have to agree with everyone else, you cannot gain weight if you are sticking to the plan. The best thing to do is to stop weighing yourself so often as you will vary throughout the course of the day and that can be scary. You're not having more than 1 bar a day are you? Could you be...

    My Mum keeps phoning to ask if everything's okay. I haven't told her about doing CD so maybe she's just picking up on the vibes too? I'll have to tell her this weekend though as she's coming to stay and I can't hide much from her, and definitely not something as obvious as not eating.

    Someone said that they use Supercook's gelatine as it's really cheap and that's basically all that Mix a Mousse is, I think you get it in the supermarkets with the baking things like bicarb of soda.

    whats your taste?

    I never had sweet tooth before this diet, now I have all sweet because the soups make me gag (literally). My fave is the Orange Winter Spice, I am in love with that one and it makes me think of Christmas when I shall be svelte and wonderful :D

    Not too sure but hubby has diabetes, and in the 'olden days' he had to check for ketones.

    Weekly Weight Loss

    Have a look at people's posts, many list their weekly loses in their signatures and you will see that it varies. If you are 100% perfect and stick to the plan you will have amazing loses. Cambridge say that you should expect to lose a stone a month but many people do much better than that.
  195. Miel

    Cries...........

    You are doing well, if you keep it up you will see huge changes soon. Try not to let the scales dictate how you feel; if you follow the diet then you will lose weight it's that simple :)

    Oh dear!

    You don't need luck, you just need determination. You can do it!!!
  197. Miel

    Cries...........

    If you haven't already measured yourself then do it now and then you can see the weight shifting and where it goes from. It's up to you what you measure, but I measured my waist, hips and bust, some people do their thighs and arms too. You could try drinking a bit more water too?
  198. Miel

    Cries...........

    Don't give up! My scales always change right at the last minute. I've stayed the same for the last two weeks but I have to keep going, I know the weight will come off in the end as long as I stick to it. Have you measured yourself? Sometimes you don't lose weight but you lose inches.

    I think you just make one up, but one that you can easily remember as you'll need it each time you update.

    My GP wont sign!!!!

    I was in the same boat as you, my BMI was 41.9 (I think :) and I knew my GP wouldn't sign because he had been very rude about it when I floated it past him hypothetically). So I did W8 for a few weeks (yuck, yuck, yuck) and then went onto Cambridge. W8 is basically the same as CD but 4 shakes...

    ive had anough of him..

    Hello Kimmie I just wanted to send you a big hug because there's not much else I can add to what's already been said. You are beautiful and kind and a really warm and loving person and you deserve to be with someone who is the same. Don't you worry about where he can go, he should have...

    Psyllium Husks

    Oh Wow! Thanks for all the answers, I didn't realise that it was so popular. Cee-Cee, I mix mine into my shakes after they've been blended and that's fine, I have also taken them in water but that's not so good. If you use them in water definitely use water flavourings. I prefer to use a...

    Psyllium Husks

    Anyone know if these are allowed? I've been having them every day and they are helping enormously, but I don't know whether they are okay to have.

    Veneers

    Hiya Liz I had 2 veneers done when I was 14, and they are still there despite only supposed to last 10 years :) The dentist files the tooth down and sticks a veneer to the front of it, that's all. It doesn't hurt but you'll probably get an anaesthetic anyway. If I remember correctly I had a...

    Really struggling...

    I know how you feel, I am in the same boat too. Had a good couple of weeks at the start but my Mum got ill so I started picking a bit too much so put on 1/2 lb last week, then she was taken into hospital on Friday and I ate all weekend and Monday. Well 'ate' isn't the right word, I stuffed...

    What would you do with it?

    I'd pay off my mortgage, boring but effective as it would leave me better off each month.

    This is me...

    Wishing you lots of luck, you are going to feel amazing once you get today over with. It's always a bit nerve racking when you go to see a CDC for the first time, but you'll soon feel at ease and really positive too.

    Anyone going on hols in August?

    Thanks Cee-Cee, she's a bit better today but only time will tell. I'm doing well so far today as I haven't eaten anything, which I know is a silly thing to say as I'm not meant to eat anything, but it's an achievement for me because the last week I haven't stopped eating. I'm seeing my CDC...

    Anyone going on hols in August?

    Thanks Mikki I know she wouldn't want to be the cause of me breaking the diet, so today is another day and I'll start again today. It's not too late to make a difference for my holidays so I'll stop kicking myself and just get on with it. Hope everyone has a great day today.

    Anyone going on hols in August?

    I'm having the week from Hell, my Mum was taken into hospital on Friday and I haven't stopped eating since :( My eating isn't helping her and it certainly isn't helping me so I can't understand why I'm doing it. I've got my WI on Wednesday and I don't want to go now, but if I don't then that...

    Bad Day!

    We've all been there too don't worry. My weight is coming off painfully slowly, mostly due to my inability to stop picking. Every morning is a fresh start for me and every day is hard work. Don't beat yourself up, that can only lead to more problems. Don't worry too much about what you...

    Weigh in tonight, I'm so nervous!

    Just wanted to wish you luck, and to say that you will soon see those scales coming back down so don't worry, you can do it!

    Anyone going on hols in August?

    I am finding it a bit difficult this week and keep picking at things which I know I'm not meant to. It will do me good to think about my holidays instead of each weigh-in :)

    An apprehensive hello.....

    Wishing you lots of luck, although of course, you are not going to need it. Hope the first week flys by for you.

    Toffee and Walnut - Anyone tried it and could advise me?

    Good luck Diddy You'll soon find out that some shakes are great and others, not so, but none of us can agree so you'll have to work it out for yourself ;)

    What's everyone reading at the moment?

    I've been revisiting my college days lately so have just read DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, which made a completely different impression on me this time, and I have just started to read Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer which I have been trying to read for the last year but can't get into it...

    Toffee and Walnut - Anyone tried it and could advise me?

    It's my second fave. I like it cold as a shake and it really hits the spot when I want something sweet. My favorite at the moment though has to be the orange winter spice, I really love that one.

    Anyone going on hols in August?

    Hi! I'm off to France for 2 weeks on the 2nd August so would love to join you, could do with extra motivation. I'd love to be 3 stone lighter by then but will be happy with 2 stone.

    am worried now :(

    I get a similar thing on my inner thighs, and all I can say is don't exfoliate, this seems to make mine much worse. I have been using vitamin E cream lately and that has really helped with the scars and redness. I noticed that mine got really bad when I was using a loofah type shower puff so now...
