Hi all :) I just wanted to check with you guys if what I've eaten today sounds right. Because I am SO full, and it just seems weird to be so full on a 'diet'. Although, maybe I should be considering it a lifestyle change instead?! Anyway, here it is: Breakfast - 2 soft boiled eggs, 3 rashers of...

I would say you need a lot more veggies. You need to get 12-15g of your daily 20g carb limit from veg, and spinach isn't really enough.

Good luck :) xx

Hey everyone I've been on minimins for a while now - but mostly in the Cambridge diet forum. I stopped Cambridge about 4 weeks ago when I went on holiday, and didn't bother going back to it. I'm glad I didn't, because after 2 years TTC, I found out that I am pregnant! I am so shocked, but...

Well done! :)

Congrats; that's brilliant! :)

It's going ok. DH is doing it with me this time too, so that makes things easier. We both need to have a BMI of 30 or under in order to proceed with IUI/IVF treatment on the NHS. The waiting time for IUI is really short here, so they said they will probably be calling for us in May/June time...

I'm back. I just didn't think anyone really posted on here anymore. xxx

Hey guys, mind if I come back?? I'm still not pregnant, and am now on the waiting list for IUI/IVF. However, in order to get treated on the NHS, I need to have a BMI of 30 or under. I tried weight watchers, but I'm too impatient, and only losing 1lb a week isn't enough to keep me motivated...

Hey Diddums :) I'm on 1000mg a day at the moment, but I have to up it again to 1500mg a day in about 2 weeks. Then I'll be up to the maximum dosage I need to be on. I'm glad that you're doing ok on it. I just feel so nauseous all the time. If I still feel the same when I'm eating food as...

Hey girlies, Unfortunately, I have decided to come off the diet. I have felt like crap for the last week; faint, dizzy, going black when I stand up etc. I spoke to my gynae consultant, and due to the fertility meds I am on (Metformin), and the Clomid that I will be taking in the next couple...

No, i'm not drinking enough water, and often, I'm not having my 3rd pack either. This week, I will behave myself. I will up my water intake, and make sure I have my 3rd pack, even if I don't feel hungry enough. P.S. Got my fertility drug, Clomid today. Dunno if it will help me conceive, but...

I only lost 1lb this week :confused::(:cry: Blah. Next week will be better.

Good luck for your family meal TRYING SO HARD! You're being very sensible with your choice of food, so well done! I doubt it will knock you out of ketosis, so it shouldn't affect your weight loss too much (if at all!) xxx

How is everyone doing? I'm doing ok; we've booked to go out for a meal on 21st Feb as a belated Valentines day thing, so I'll be having a night off the diet for that. Really looking forward to having some food, lol! Hopefully by then I'll be in the 12 stones, so that'll be wicked. Only 10lbs...

Thanks Bonzo - you're right; I would never have lost 20lbs in a month on any other diet! Yes, that's right, I lost 3lbs this week! Yay! Considering I was on my period, I'm very happy with that. Aiming for 4-5lbs next week though!! And TRYING SO HARD, according to your ticker, your BMI is in...

Well done Diddums - that's a fab loss!! I've got my weigh-in tomorrow. According to my scales, I've only lost 2lbs this week :( Will wait and see what happens tomorrow though. xx

Well done MissAma; 5lb loss is brilliant!! I weighed myself this morning, and I'm in the 13 stones now! Woo!

Well done on a fab loss Bonzo!! Brilliant! You've taken my crown of biggest loss so far, lol!! Good luck with your weigh-in tomorrow MissAma!! Period has just arrived for me - BOO!!!! xxx

Sorry to hear about your Mum MissAma. I hope that she gets better; and with your love and support, I'm sure she will! And we will get our babies my lovely! Whether it be with ICSI, naturally, or clomid, they will come to us!! Our aim is to be preggers by XMAS - we can do it!! Just got back...

Well, a little bit about me. My name is Elizabeth, I am 24, and I live in South Wales with my husband and 2 staffordshire bull terrier dogs (Bailey & Saffie). Hubby and I have been married for just over a year, we own our own house, and we both have reasonable jobs. The main reasons that I am...

Hey Team Members :D I'm holding up ok - although I have definitely found this week harder than last week for some reason. Maybe its because I'm also a serial 'weigher', and so far I have only lost 1lb. Weigh-in is on Monday, so I really hope I can manage to lose 2 more lbs. A 3lb loss wouldn't...

Wow!!!! Congratulations to you both!! That's amazing news!! MissAma, you've lost the same amount as I have in 2 weeks, in your first week!! I told you that you would lose loads!! xxx

Hurry up MissAma! I wanna know how much you've lost this week!! xxx

Love the thread hun! I can't get the code for the blinkie to work though!! :( Help! P.S. My weigh in day is a Monday :) xxx

Thanks hun - yeah my weigh-in is every Monday, and I lost 5lbs this week - woo!! Can't wait to see how much you guys have lost tomorrow!! P.S. Loving the Valentines day challenge idea. I'd like to be in the 12 stones by then... xxx

I like blinkie number 7 the best :)

Love it!

I'm fine with internet access :) 1) Week 2 - day 7 2) 24 3) 1st weigh-in -8lbs 4) Monday 12th Jan 5) SS 6) Restarter 7) 67lbs

Woo! How exciting!! xxx

Yay! I wanna join!! Although, I'm nearly on my 3rd week now. Does that matter? xx

Congratulations on your pregnancy! That's wonderful news :)

Hey babybaillie Today has been good - I am on day 6 now, and I can feel it starting to get easier. I have only had one shake (toffee and walnut) so far though, cos I didn't actually get out of bed until 11am, lol. I think I'll have my 2nd one in a bit, and then save my last one for later tonight...

Welcome, and congrats on making it through the 1st day!! x

I agree welshwench - I blend my shakes with ice too - soooo much nicer! And good luck with your CD journey noahsmum! I'm on day 6 now, and I think I'm in ketosis now. I don't feel as hungry and depressed as I did a couple of days ago, lol! It does get easier thank god!

Good luck!! You seem to have a great attitude!

I'm in the same boat - although we have been actively TTC since Aug 2007 now, but nothing is happening. My cycles are regular and my gynae consultant doesn't seem to think that my weight could be the issue, but you never know. Losing the weight before (or should I say 'if') I get pregnant, can...

That would be a typical Saturday night for me and my hubby too! Tonight will be our 1st Sat night in a while where we haven't had an indian takeaway!! Ah well, porridge is almost as nice..... Like you said, we just need to dig our heels in and get on with it. And like Becky said, if we can...

I know how you feel!! I need to go again now! Ah well, it'll be worth it in the end!

I've only lost 1lb this week and I'm POSITIVE its because I'm not drinking enough water. I found it so much easier to drink it when I was on CD - it filled me up. But cos I can eat on Atkins, I don't feel the need to fill up on water. Plus I hate the bloody stuff now anyway!!

I take a multivitamin.

I know that Diet coke/pepsi/fanta etc are frowned upon whilst on CD, but is this still applicable on Atkins/low carb?? Or are they allowed now?

Well, for both of us to do CD, it was about £90 a week, whereas when we shop in Morrisons, it costs us roughly £60 a week. We just buy the saver variety of everything! We just buy big packs of burgers, some chicken fillets, big block of cheese, iceburg lettuce, cucumber, onions, and frozen...

Due to financial situations, hubby and I stopped CD this week, and switched to Atkins/low carb (Monday night to be precise) Just did my week 3 weigh in, and have lost 4lbs! :D 1 of those pounds is since we stopped CD, so I'm thrilled that I haven't put any weigh on since eating again! Yay!

Congrats! That's brilliant!

Brilliant!! Well done!

Well done hun! That's brilliant! :)

Well done hun! :)

Wow!! Well done!!

Thanks everyone - all your comments help keep me motivated. Oooh, forgot to mention that DH lost 7lbs this week, making his loss a total of 21lbs in 2 weeks!!

And another 5lbs lost! 15lbs in total! Yay! :D

Yes - and it makes things so much easier!! lol

And I have lost 10lbs! :D Yay! I now weigh 15st 12lbs - still wayyyy too much, but every pound is a pound closer to my goal! Hubby upstaged me though - he's lost 14lbs :eek:. Bloody men, lol! It's not fair! ;) xxx

Wow! Well done hun! x

They are bound to find out because I have lunch with a couple of them - they will definitely notice that I'm drinking a chocolate velvet tetra, as opposed to having my usual jacket potato! If they lecture me, I'll just have to explain the facts and tell them I'd appreciate their support - nopt...

Anyone? :rolleyes:

Yeah, it sound like you've got a cold - well done on the weight loss though!

Brilliant! Well done!

Most - 16st 10 Current - 15st 13 Target - 9st 10

You look amazing!! Well done hun!

Wow! You look fab! Well done!

Bloody hell - you look bang on!!! Congratulations! You're a true inspiration for people like me who are only on day 5 of the diet!!

That's brilliant news!

Wow!! You look great!! Well done!

Congrats! That's an amazing loss!

Wow!! Well done - that definitely gives me motivation to keep going with this!

I want a Wii now!!

I bought some breath spray, and it works perfectly - lasts for ages too. When I'm at work, my plan is to take it with me whenever I go to the toilet (which is all the time because of all the water we have to drink!!), and use it then.

I'm on day 5 of CD now, but I'm worried about going back to work tomorrow. I was off all of last week, and I think it really helped to ease myself into the diet. We don't have any food here, wheras at work, they normally have biscuits/cakes around :sigh: I know I'm strong enough to resist the...

Hiya :) I'm only on day 5, so I'm not much ahead of you. It does get easier, I promise! Actually, I found yesterday to be quite hard. I think it was because it is the weekend, and I was bored at home, doing nothing. I really wanted to eat, but I was strong, and didn't. Plus, I got on the...

Well done!! You'll be wearing those tops in no time!!

Hey Kimmie, I'm on day five as well - got a bit of headache, but its not too bad. Weighed this morning, and I am 15st 13, meaning a loss of 9lbs since Wednesday! Bloody bang on! Have you weighed too?? xx

Well done girlies! I'm on day 3 too, and have also lost 3 lbs since yesterday. 6lbs in 2 days - brilliant! Hubby is doing the diet with me though, and he has lost 9lbs!! Its not fair, lol!! xx

I'm 24 :)

I'm on day 2 as well! I'm also a compulsive weigher, and I've lost 3lbs since yesterday morning! Bang on!! Definitely helps keep you motivated! xx

Congratulations!!

Thank you to everyone for your support! I've had my first shake of the day - chocolate mint. It was really nice actually. It definitely helps if you blend it!! I don't think I did that last time. Going to have the chocolate tetra for lunch a bit later :D

Hiya! Have been lurking on here for the plast couple of days, but have now decided to post as I am starting CD tomorrow (Wednesday). My husband is also doing it with me, so I'm hoping that it will help me stay on track! Met with my CD counsellor today and picked up all of my packs. I did try...
