Thanks everyone, I just went into the kitchen and said what the hell Im gonna eat chocolate to console myself. But the moment passed and I left the kitchen with water instead. And now having read this Im glad. Im sick of being fat, Im just gonna stick at what Im doing. Thanks again Ba

Oh thank you so much for your reply. I have to say I actually cried after my weigh in as I had tried so very hard and just felt like it was all for nothing! Do you think I should keep up the exercise? Im enjoying it so thought what the hell, go for it. But my CDC said to stop all exercise...

I had my weigh in today for week 2 on my restart. First week I lost 5lbs which I was disappointed in as I stuck to ss and drank 4l a day. But today I have lost just 0.5lbs in a week on ss. :cry: Why oh why? I did cheat 6 days earlier and had a tin of tune in brine and small 50pence size piece...

Thanks for all your replies. I think I might have to get a pair. My flip flops are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn and look OK as well. Because of this I never take them off! However, apart from the very first time I wore them I havent noticed any toning affect on my legs or bum, so...

Im thinking of buying some BMT trainers (Massai Barefoot Technology) and was wondering whether they really do help to rid you of cellulite, tone your bum and legs and burn more weight whilst walking. I have read some good reviews and have a pair of 'fitflops' but as I have started walking 2...

Thanks, I was sure that you could have green tea, I also drink white tea so hope thats OK as well. Anyone know if the Cidar Vinegar is OK????

I have heard over and over again to take 2-3tsp of this to reduce hunger and fasten your metabolism whilst dieting. But can you also take this with CD? Also my CDC swears that you cant have green tea whilst on the diet, can someone clarify as I thought you could. Many thanks Ba

If you do the Dr Gillian McKeiths 24 hour detox you will definately loose a couple of pounds in the loo! Its drastic but would do it for sure. I buy mine from the healthy food section of Sainsburys but its not cheap at around £20.

Im 5'10 and 14 stone and a size 18/20 bottom and 16 top. I seem to carry all my weight in saddle bags on my thighs so it does very much depend on how you carry the weight! Lets buddy and try to reach size 16 together. I have given myself 2 weeks although its probably optimistic at least its...

Your right of course its just that my confidence has nose dived and my weight gain hasnt exactly helped! Must believe in myself!!

I have been doing my own VLCD with packs bought back from a trip oversea's but as I only have 7 days supply left need to start thinking about starting a new programme. It seems to me that Cambridge and Lipotrim are the same. Is this correct? What kind of weekly costs can I expect? Do I need a...

I have a job interview for a high flying job in an industry that I know is usually filled by stick thin women. I just went and bought a new outfit to wear as I dont fit into a single outfit from when I last worked. Was shocked to find I am a size 18/20 when I thought I was a tight size 16 :cry...

OK so I have had social engagements the last 2 weekends and I've been yoyoing but now I am ready to give it my all. In order to reach my original goal I need to lose 10lbs this week - is this possible? Is there anything I can do to achieve this in a week? Such as treadmill sessions, nettle tea???

I ate two meals over the weekend and gained all my weight loss back(10lbs). But after 2 days I had lost it all again so you might find your in luck and it is just fluid! As I have a Wedding this weekend and intend to eat and drink I may be joining you with the gain again. I just figure you can...

OK I made a mousse with gelatine and a shake nd it was sooo bad that I had to throw it away. Think watery tasteless jelly. So that answers that question, you need to buy he proper stuff I guess.

Scream Aly :giggle::giggle:wouldnt dare write my word association after that comment! Classic!!

Im the same and its when I get most tempted to nibble. I think its because I have always sort comfort from food and for me its about trying to develop a different routine. Last night I read a book for 2 hours before sleeping, the evening before I put a treatment in my hair. Tonight Im gonna...

Well done thats fantastic! I didnt do so well, I had 2 meals over the weekend and managed to gain 2lbs. Im back on it but have a wedding this weekend coming so its gonna be another disappointing week for me.

Thanks for your advice I understand what you are saying but unfortunately spring/summer is always a busy time socially for us. Weddings, birthdays, holidays, balls. I really wont have a month without an event which goes along way to explaining why I find myself over weight in the first place. I...

I bought some VLCD shakes back from Australia with me and so dont have any soups or mousse. Just want to try something else for a change. I think I will try it tomorrow nd report back!

I want to try a mousse and was wondering if I add instant gelatine or gelatine leaves to a shake whether it would work? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks, I am feeling so very deflated and beaten. Next Saturday we have a Wedding to go to so I will be eating rich food and drinking wine. Wish I could say it wont happen but I know that I will eat and drink at the wedding as I just wont be able to say no. I am now so worried that I will just...

Over my first week I lost an amazing 10lbs but DH whisked me away for the weekend and I ate out on Sat night (3 course meal and wine but threw it up as stomach had shrunk) and then breakfast the next morning and lunch with wine. I just weighed myself and I have regained all of the weight I lost...

My DH is taking us away for our anniversary this weekend. We have arranged to stay with firends on the Sunday and I have told them I only require ice and a blender for my food. I got the whole 'thats a stupid way to diet/ you will only put it all back on again/ dont be silly just do some...

Thanks Mandy I know I shouldnt eat I just gave in to temptation. And although they are protein they where all processed food so would probably have a huge amount of salt and maybe even some sneaky sugar! Fingers crossed Im OK

Oh dear I have just nibbled a slice of ham and two slices of polish sausage on day 8 of VLCD :( Could this have knocked me out of ketostis? I was just soo hungry and couldnt resist but now I feel guilty. Also what should I do about my evening shake? Should I still take it or have only half? Thanks

Im always freezing cold since starting VLCD. Didnt realise this was common. Why is that and does anyone know if its a good or bad thing to be cold?

Morning all Well done on the weight loss. I must say its not exactly falling off my these last couple of days I have basically stayed the same for 3 days. :confused: But as I lost 10lbs in total I wont really complain just hope that it doesnt slow down too much. Went for a really easy walk...

Well done Autumn, feels so good doesnt it :D I had my WI this morning and Ive also lost a little over 10lbs in my first week. Started at 15.1 stones and am now 14.4!!! Although my clothes all still feel tight its still an amazing achievement and I am so proud of myself for making through the...

I am finding the water difficult as well and have only just been managing 2l with the odd day of only 1 - 1.5l. My problem is that I have a constant feeling of vomit at the back of my throat and when I drink water although I like the taste I just feel like I might throw up. Official WI...

Im a shakes only girl as well. But when I want something more I have a teaspoon of reduced salt marigold stock and hot water. Well it helped in the first few days! Kimmie I havent had any energy at all either and have been in bed at ridiculously early hours. Feeling slightly better today...

Oh dear I just nibbled! It was a single slice of polish sausage. Opps! Hope it wont throw me out of ketosis?

Add me in - 14lbs!

Hi Buds! Well yesterday was my hardest day ever - I went to a party and had to watch everyone else eat and drink while I sipped water and they all asked what was wrong with me! I was so tempted to nibble - just one olive, just a tiny slice of chicken or a finger in the hommous! But I...

I feel so rough! I met a friend today and couldnt hold a conversation! I really hope this gets better. They say the first week is the hardest! Gonna go and drink a peppermint tea.

Odette - I might try the exercise thing, the thought of exercise can usually stop me doing anything :D Heffa - I cant think of a food I do not like! I'll eat it all, offal, seafood you name it! And then DH has asked for me to make Spag Bog for him and cottage pie etc! But tonight he gets...

Carolyn has the extra water helped? Im in the same boat so might give that a try, except Im so knackered I cant move!

Well Im exhausted. Its ridiculous how weak I feel but hope it passes quickly. Gonna try to go to bed early tonight to put myself out of my misery. Carolyn I was hoping that by day 5 I would feel better. Have you been as lifeless as me for long or is it a new development?

Help, I find preparing my families meals incredibly difficult. How do you not taste the food to check spices etc? How can I stop myself nibbling on my toddlers leftovers? What distractions can I employ when we all sit down for a meal? I dont want to stop interacting with my family at...

Morning girls Well Im feeling terrible today, I have absolutely no energy, walking up the stairs to the loo (been doing alot of that) leaves me exhausted. Im not very hungry so think I may be in ketosis but need to go and get some ketostix. Is anyone else wiped out like me? I just feel like I...

I just had a teaspoon of marigold reduced salt stock with hot water (I read on here that you can do that so hope its not cheating) and a bowl of crushed ice for dsesert. DH just sat there feeling so sorry for me but actually I was OK about it and actually didnt mind it at all. So onwards ad...

This is how sad I am.... I cant even face my own reflection in the mirror. My face Im fine with but I just avoid looking at my body. I really couldnt take photo's of myself in my underwear at this point in my life. I cant wait to get my confidence back (and my sex life with it ;) ) Because I...

Great to have some buddies, I really need alot of support. One thing I tend to do on every diet is reward myself with just a tiny cheat for my weight loss :doh: Of course it makes no sense but Im good at that! Im also a compulsive weigher but find that if I lean the wrong way on my scales I...

Congratulations Kimmie and mumto4, Ive also made it to day 2 so maybe we can be buddies! Weighed myself and Ive lost 4lbs in one day. I know its all fluid but I dont care as I have to lose weight in order to have IVF and everyday is a step closer to my dream! Ive just gotten back from...
