    i want to die...

    Hi Delilah, When did you start ss if you have just started it can take a few days to start to feel the benefits like increased energy etc. You have to take all the ss meals or you will feel very weak- have you tried the tetras? They may be easier for you to take.

    Water Flavourings...

    Hi! My CDC said you are allowed two teaspoons a day, as its a teaspoon to 1 litre you are allowed two litres of flavoured water- but I presume you can dilute it more. It does really help with the water in take. M

    Transfered

    Welcome Saralou! I'm no expert but I think the losses on CD are about the same as LL ( as in a stone a month). They usually say that during your first two weeks you should only do moderate exercise, but as you are proably already in ketosis as doing LL, do what you feel comfortable with. I...

    Wind eze?

    Hi festival fairy, I'm sure you can take windeze although a CDC will probably answer that for you. I found that upping the amount of water I was drinking really helped especially when eating the bars. Hope you feel better soon. M

    Gone Forever!

    Hi! After very little loss for a few weeks I just a big drop (6ibs over a couple of days:eek:!). I was so delighted that I packed up a lot of my now too big clothes in a bag for charity. I feel great about it because I'm not going to keep sizes when I come out of them. I have done this all...

    Anything You Want to Do With Weight Of?

    Hi! I'm sure this has been done often before but I wondered was there anything anyone really wanted to do when the weight comes of for good? For me its two things one is to take my toddler to the swimming pool as I couldn't face it until I'm a lot smaller :o and the second thing is to go to a...

    Cheated

    Lisa you have done brilliantly not to have cheated before this (I wish I could say the same!) but don't worry it won't have too much of an effect if you get guzzling the water. The dreaded TOTM has a lot of down sides including weakening willpower so don't beat yourself up. It's all down hill...

    Exercise

    Hi Petra, from what the other links on this subject say and my CD counsellor- I think you can do light to moderate exercise depending on your pre CD fitness level. In other words don't take up anything to strenuous as your body may not be able for it until it gets used to the low level of...

    Disillusioned with CDCs locally

    As counsellors, surely they can't treat you like this- there must be some complaints channel you can use. Part of what you are paying for is the support, weigh in's and advice! My advice for it's worth is stick with the diet and contact CD directly for advice as to what to do with your counsellor.

    Bad Day!

    Sorry for moaning- but I had a bad day to-day. I only get weighed every two weeks (due to distance from CD) and I only lost 4.5Ib (for two weeks!!!:cry:). It is the TOTM but I felt so cheated as I had been really good; exercising and drinking gallons of water! So when I came home I did the...

    Hi Sam, I'm afraid i don't know about prices in Scotland but in Ireland I have found the CD cheaper than the Lipotrim. It is also much tastier with a far bigger variety and the Tetras (pre made shakes) are really handy when you are on the run. I also found a huge difference in having a...
