From what I've read no your not mad. I'd say most people put though the same order every week, I do. Not quite the same flavour but same few. Whatever gets you through it. Plus te majority f my rider is choc mint. Love it with a lad of water and ice. Yum! do you rreally not like anything else? x

:clap: Amazing! Well done! Through all that and you have not had choc. I wish I was as strong as you are. X

Amazing. What an amazing feeling isn't it. So pleased for you to be feeling so great! Well done! xx

I do what yolande says Yes like bench dip and also brought cheap weights from sports world or whatever that cheap shop is. I got two different weights cheap and cheerful and it's great whilst watching tv. They are good using them forwards and backwards. good luck! xx

Hello! I wish I had the answer and for that I apologise initially but I am mainly writing to let you know you are not alone. Everything you have described is me too! I totally do the same and totally understand where you're coming from. Sabotage is a nasty thing and whilst people think easy to...

Amazing. Well done. Def the inspiration i needed. U must be very proud. X

Hello! Hope ur both having a good weekend. I don't keep a diary. Do u? Have thought about it. It's time for me that I struggle with. Sorry to hear your also struggling Jelliebabe. It sucks bigtime. It's like you know what to do, but something takes over. Evenings I've noticed are hard lately...

Hi Tano, Thank you for your reply. Sometimes you just need to hear it don't you. I don't think anyone really understands unless you are actually doing this kind of diet..and everyone else just thinks it's stupid and too extreme. You could be right. I think the fact that I had got half way was...

Hiya, I am only really able to give you my advice from my experience hun. And trust me, lately not great experience. I felt exactly the same at week two. My hubby thought he was married to someone else I was such a nightmare....but it passes. I was an emotional wreck and also like you went to...

Hiya, yes it does get better. Once your in full ketosis you'll feel so different again. Two weeks and you'll feel brill again. Stick with it. The only advice I can give is please don't give in. Been there, just done it. It's not worth it one little bit. Keep as distracted as you can and you'll...

Hello lovely people. I am saying sorry in advance due to not really knowing what i'm going to write. Haven't been on in afew weeks due to being so crazily busy in life. Story of my life and yours no doubt! Started CD about 6 -7 weeks ago. Got off to a fab start. Lost just under a stone in first...

Thank you! Thank you everyone. That really has made me feel better. I feel give it a go and see. Everyone is different and even if it did slow up I still think the diet is better to get me to target than others as the regieme is more structured regarding temptation. I have just enjoyed a fresh...

Hi! A little dilema this week. So many up's and down's but last week (also time of the month and ten times more heavy?) I really struggled. Found myself caving a tiny tiny bit. Had two mouths of chicken whilst cooking roast for everyone as just sooooo tired! Anyhow, also weighed myself everyday...

Hi Claire, Well done on your losses so far!:) Yes, I have been exactly the same and it really does help to know that others are going through it also. I am into week 3 and the days are a mix of up, down, ecstatic, tearful and excited. So, I guess if we don't expect too much then it's easier to...

Yippeee!!!!! Well done thats fab. :) Thank you. One of the down days for me today and just what I needed. I did the same last week and feels great doesn't it. Those days we need to keep focussed on don't we. Fantastic loss, you must be over the moon.Yay. x

Oh no, really? Mine said it had more carbs yes but didn't make a difference. Tried mint one today and have choc and peanut one to try. Left a metalic taste mind. Oh, don't know what to do now. Don't want loss to slow down too much. Are you sticking with them? How was your loss hun? Hope your...

Well done too chick. It's tough isn't it but once it starts coming off it makes it all worth it. Other halfs eh! Hubby too had a hangover indian tonight and my son a celebratory school report Maccyd's. But it didn't matter with how good I felt. We all kick ass! Well done! good luck for weigh in...

Hi Cathy, Im sorry I haven't been on to see this until now and offer support as you did me over the weekend. It's been mental. Well done on also coming through im hoping? without giving in im sure. You sound a very strong person and im sure you have defeated the temptation as hard as it is...

Well done! I have just posted similar. It's great to hear positive thoughts too. You are so right. x

You def can do it! Stick with it. Ride the rollercoaster and you will come out beaming the other side. Im only half way there and I am, you can! Good luck and if you need to hop on here! Everyone is great. x

Hi lovely people of CD.:) I just wanted to say thanks to all those who read my desperation posts on the weekend and replied. Boy it was tough. Coming on here helped so much and you certainly made me feel more able to just get through it....And I did. :thankyou: Fri and Sat I thought I was...

Im also day 9 and exactly the same! Totaly with you there. I thought I was weird for it too but glad it's not just me. Being a mum of two and having to still cook for the family actually takes away my cravings. Weird. I even baked with my son the other and the cakes are sitting there looking...

Haha, me too! I can just about write a post! Thank you, thats kind. You too. Although I must learn how to even pm! Paddy was on fine form wasn't he! Off to bed now as hungry! Have a good day 3 hun. x

Brilliant! Bet that felt amazing! Well done, your doing fab! :)x

Thank you! Thanks hun, I too was worried once I started I wouldn't stop, or it won't come off as quick? Stupid! Twice I have had an extra shake and that helped. I have thought perhaps give it til weigh in day and then try the ss+ as I have a wedding in 2 weeks so am gonna have to eat the better...

Ah thanks Hayley. Thats odd. My cdc only gave option of soups or shakes. Arrghh! Will see her tues. Thank you! x

I don't have any either hun. I too didn't want to get obsessd about it so thought I won't get any, but I know some people prefer too so whatever helps you. Like weighing everyday really or in between meeting days. (til today). Well, I could taste that awful taste after 2 days but had to have a...

Hi Angelupnorth. I also did that this week. Good motivation indeed. I would like to fit into my wedding dress from a year ago and pre pregnancy size 10 clothes that are all sat in bags waiting for me as found out I was 7 weeks pregnant on our honeymoon and it piled on from there on in. Good...

You'll get there. What about the soup for something food like and warming? Do you put ice in your shakes? I find they taste so much better that way. Can't you have the porridges and bars after 2 weeks? Not sure as only just into 2nd week myself. You can do it. x

I can totally imagine how you must feel but please try not to worry about it if you can. Don't beat yourself up too much hun, we have all been there. Get back on board with it. Tomorrow is a new day and im sure you will be fine if you just stick with it again. Good for you for saying it instead...

I hear you! Ditto Rainbow Blue ( I too was the same today, seems a few poeple have been....bloody weekends!) .....just think of your holiday. Im guessing your doing this as like me your unhappy with how you look etc so just keep thinking about how much happier, healthier and better all round...

Im positive that'll be fine hun. I did something similar, just forgetting in the first few days, didn't make a difference. still went into ketosis after 4 days. x

Thank you! Thanks chick. It's so stupid isn't it. You know it in your head, and boy I can see the results but feeling so dreadful at the same time sucks! Sorry, I feel bad as I know you have just started and don't want to put you off. Sorry! How have you been getting on? Hubby is away on stag...

Ditto! Hiya, All I can say say hun is I totally understand. Im sorry not to have the answer as I wish I had it today as I am also in that same place today. At least you came on here, hope your feeling a little better now too. Im guessing tomorrows another day...hopefully a better one! Early...

:argh: Hello lovely fellow dieters! (apologies in advance for my moan, but I knwo you all say get on here and rant if you need it....I need it today!) My first real shout out of a stuggle...but was at the point I didn't know what else to do other than eat! Im so cross for that too. Day 8...

Well done! Well done Cathy2009,:) Day one nearly over! I was aprehensve about tomato flavour but may try it now. Chicken and mushroom are nice and have you tried ice with shakes and adding more water than packet says? I love them. It's good to keep busy, you got that right! I had to endure...

Hiya hun. I totally understand what you mean. Were exactly the same...but you can do this. You said to me on another post about looking at pics etc or treating yourself. So for tonight perhaps a relaxing bath and early night? Sue is right, tomorrow you will feel so much better for sticking with...

omg! No blooming way. Don't take any notice. You will get there hun if that's what you want.YOU WILL!!!! Please don't listen. Keep going, 8.5lb is a great start. x

Thanks xsinead. I do find those stories inspirational. Thought I was doing ok...until today. Funny how it just hits you. Anyhow, saw one of your posts earlier but couldn't stop to comment then. As alot of peeps said you look so beautiful. It's so hard to believe your weight as you really don't...

Whoop! Good luck1! Welcome to the gang Cathy2009! :) Hope your first meeting went well. I have only done the shakes so far on ss so let me know what the porridge is like. You'll find you'll soon get into a pattern. One for brekkie, ton of water before lunch, one for lunch, another ton of water...

You CAN do it! Hi Pbrown, Seriously, just as Cathy2009 said, I was feeling exactly the same just a week ago....until I started, and have now done a week. I can promise you once you get into it you will feel a trillion times better. I am sure we can all supoort each other. Coming on here...

Hello fellow Cambrideg Dieters!:) I am very new to the diet and this forum but having found it, looks like it will help me get through this?! Good tips and encouraging motivation looks promsing? Would be good to talk to others going through the same motions. I haven't really told anyone yet and...
