I second the coke zero, I have it as a treat so I don't feel in denial for two long :-)

How funny, I started those bars in week two and I lost a pound. Was I disgusted, yeah I was!!! hehehe

Karen your weight loss is fantastic!!!!

if it helps I am the same, I get very upset most of the time for stupid things (My husband can eat and drink all he wants) I get upset that I feel so hungry and I can't eat, it feels like I am being punished so I tend to take it out on everyone. I just past week three and I think its normal to...

don't get dishearted! You are doing fan tilly tastic!

Hi Ceri!!!!! 5lbs is fabulous! You must be over the moon.... I just don't think I could ever have achieved such great results without support from this site. I just e-mailed some before and after shots to friends (based in Oz and Houston) and the comments back where really inspiring. I have...

It feels good, thanks ladies!!! I just brought a size 16 dress for the wedding and it arrives tomorrow so that will be inspiring to see if it fits. Pretty soon i can start to steal my gorgeous sisters clothes, just like old times...heheheh Also, when you start to loose weight doesn't it...

You weight loss is fantastic!!!!!! Keep up the good work

Hello... I made it to week three and weigh in today -3lb loss. CDC scales say 12.10 (I weighed myself before I left the house and I was 12.9) So we are kind of at par together... Now I am not sure you are allowed to think this but my scales this bright and sunny morning showed 12.6 and I am...

Hi, I am into week three and I noticed the same over the weekend, my stomach felt like I was starving and i was in agony, the same today! I am so hungry I feel physically sick. Not sure why I feel this way :-(

I brought mine online and do them myself to save money. going to do one this evening and will let you know the results

Hi jackie, I know how demoralising it can be when the scales are not going down etc, but keep in there and the weight loss will show. Did you know muscle weighs more than fat? Could it be that you are toning up etc. I check my measurements as well as weight as a back up, when the scales don't...

Debs! Great news on the weight lost!

that is fantastic! I am green with envy, you must feel a million pounds!!! I have my weigh in tonight, hate hate hate being weighed in the evening :-( but hopefully we are on to a winner. Weighed myself at home this morning and my scales show a 15 pound loss.

Blimey! Thats and amazing loss, you must have felt fab. I did one two days before my wedding and my dress was so loose, by the end of the night it was falling down - hahahah

Keep with it darl.. I was the same had about 4 days off work sick as I just couldn't function but it passed, I came online constantly for support and it really got me through the bad times. Its awful as you feel as though no one knows what you are going through, but the people on this forum do...

that is fab, what was wrong with your first CDC, is it common to change? Your weight loss so far is fantastic!

yeah thats the one, I had a treatment last year and it was pricey so I brought the kit myself and did it at home. I just ordered some more mud and hoping with a combination of diet, gentle exercise and wraps it could spark some more inch loss, got a wedding in 3 weeks :-)

I used body wraps last year for my wedding and I loved them! has anyone tried them whilst on CDC????

Ceri you are funny, I am the same with my husband, I say "What are you eating tonight" and then stare at the food and walk off in disgust. hahahah I am a freak x

Take a leaf out of my book, I went on this site for inspirational and soon forgot all about the food I was craving and gone... I couldn't remember what I fancied.

Thanks Ceri, 10.12lbs is still great, I can't remember the last time I was under 12 stone, I think about 2003! For two years I could never get below 12.7 and then whoosh! I shot up another stone in a year.. the clothes I wear now are the ones I was in august last year so I feel I have a huge...

Thanks dancing, I have to admit I wont throw in the towel until i have definately complete a month and gage the loss, its interesting how some people just appear to lose a pound, stay the same weight when we are all being so good.. Perhaps you can gain weight through guilty thoughts, I walked...

Hi Becky, you are a godsend! Your posts are always so positive :-) I took measurements today, I actually gained on inch on my waist, how, why, when - I am confused. I am wearing trousers a few weeks back were tight, they look like clown pants and so embrassed, i am running out of things to...

hahaha I just replied to another almost the same on another message from Stush! Great minds. may I ask if you have a lot of weight to lose? I have 3.7 to lose and I was a bit naive to think the weight would drop off each week considering I had gone from about 2500 calories a day to 640 but...

Hi Ceri The post was interesting, I just added one similar and I feel that I wont make a massive difference this week as my scales are the same as the CDC's and so far about a pound (again) that means the scales of the CDC on weigh in will be a pound loss this week although I have stuck 100% to...

I have been on CDC SS+ for 17 days now and first week I jumped on the scales most mornings and the weight was falling off, week two! Nothing, very slow and the scales didn't move as quickly. On the CDC scales I had lost 8 pound which is brilliant I know :-) However this week as inspiration I...

Hi there, I got my bars second week but didn't have a great weight loss on Sunday so trying to avoid them, my tummy feels so empty and rumbling today, it actually is hurting through lack of food - even after 3 shakes today so prob will surcome to another bar tonight just to feel something solid.

I have reached Day 15 which has been a long road :-( My first social do at work and BBQ (not the weather I know) and free booze, I was so tempted to just have one glass and even under peer pressure to have "Just the one" I reached out for the water and kept on drinking. I am so pleased with...

Hi, does the slendertone belt work? I had one years ago and I had such funny sensations after the session that I ended up selling it on ebay. How are you getting on?

When will shops get the sizing right? So fustrating! How are you getting on with facebook?

Im going to make one, looks fab

Hi Becky You are not a stalker :-) I don't mind at all with the questions, my one above is daft but sometimes nice to see if someone else is your height you can gage the weight and clothes size etc. having said that, what you can be in the shops is another matter, I have 16, 18's and 20's in...

Hi Becky, I am on SS+ I originally thought I was on SS but not the case :-) someone else posted teh same thing a while back and all is okay as it takes me over the threshold for doctors advice :-) I bet I would lose loads of weight on 3 packs

Is anyone 5Ft 3inches?? Its been a while since I was a size 14 and wondering what weight you would be? I am aiming to be a size 14 for a wedding in 4 weeks (currently 12.13) and was wondering what weight I would be looking at to achieve this. I am 12.13 and a comfortable 16, :-( Odd...

Thanks again, I'll look up the "Bloody Pound" I can see I am not alone this week :-) and had some great advice. I have a wedding in 4 weeks and I was really hoping to lose some noticable weight before then. Isn't it horrible when you haven't seen people for a long time and you don't feel your...

Hi Stush! I lost a pound as well so really feel your pain today, I was so gutted I just got so deflated! Keep it up! Hopefully next week is the big one for us! I measure myself as a back up and I have losts inches which helps ease the shock of a pound, I also take before and after pictures...

Hey, thanks for teh response! No totm :-( Um, I did lose track of time and prob drank too much. Much of this week I have been constipated and had to use some laxatives last night to help me a bit, again all blocked so trying fibre89 from my CDC, I lose track of my water intake daily so...

Hi all, Day 13 and my second weigh in and lost a 1lb! I have stuck to the diet - albeit some days where I had 3 sachets instead of four (i gaged this when it came to Sunday and realised i had a few too many left over :-() I feel so deflated! I know a pound is better than nothing but still...

I love the replies! I have so many people that are not family and close friends who say the same thing and I am only on day 13! Its always "well you will go back to being the way you were once you start eating" and I just ignore them. I know I wont go back once I am thinner, healther and beaming...

Thanks so much :-) Can't wait, I have never gone 2 weeks withouth food or drink before. Looking forward to another week

thanks so much, I will take some lax tonight and then hope for a good loss. will def ask for fibre something tomorrow.

Hi hazel, I have weigh in tomorrow and have not lose a bean so far from last week, I feel the same :-( I dread what my CDC will say when i have been so good. Its very demotivating :-( Keep going...

Saturday Day 12! Can't believe I have got so far adn not cheated although i have thought about it. I have not lost a pound, weigh in tomorrow and so annoyed as excuse my crudeness, but I have not been to the toilet all week! I need fibre!!!

I have the same problem and I am only on day 11, my weight stayed the same after dropping constantly through last week, its so demotivating considering I have not cheated and stuck to the diet. I started this week on bars but came off immediately thinking that was the problem :-(

Hi I have reached reached day 11 and I have a social function at work and dying for a glass of wine. I know people will say "Don't do it" but will two glasses really hurt? Has anyone had sneaky glasses on SS+??? (CDC)

I am on day 10 thinking about chips. I feel your pain... How come day 2 restart???

I just saw the website and looks very similar to CDC - don't know anything else about it :-

Thanks for the post, I have to admit its killing me not to go into the kitchen and make something solid to eat. I can't think of anything I actually want to eat, lots of things running around my head. I just want to remember what it was like - if that makes sense, does it taste any better??? I...

its so hard isn't it! I didn't realise how much strength it takes to just walk away and pretend its not there. After 9 days I am having a fat day - lord knows how as I haven't been bad, stuck to the regime and I am sitting here looking at my tummy thinking I look awful, what must I have looked...

was so bad on the way home, I was walking alone and everything was screaming, no on is looking, your haven't lost a pound since your weigh in, try me!!!! i had to walk through marks screaming one side, pret the other and by all the amightly I wanted to remember what food taste like. I got...

Does Ketosis make you smell? if so does it go away or only when you start eating again?

19lbs in 3 weeks its what I dream about! I am sticking to it so much I just hope next week wont be a 1-2lb :-(

I was just wondering if it was possible to set weekly targets or will I be setting myself up to then crash and feel deflated. My scales on Monday showed 10 pound lose, first thing in the morning, naked etc (you get the picture :-)) when i saw my CDC later that day I lost 7 pound. I thought...

Leah I have just reached day 8 and I too went through the same ordeal funnily enough on my six day, think you will find a comment under my name saying I couldn't stop crying and wanted to eat again, I felt in such a dark place, I thought sod this, I'll eat healthy and lose weight. Day 7 came...

I have smelt garlic all day, not sure why, can you ooze garlic in Kestosis? Every where I walk I can smell and I can't help craving some garlic bread, or nutty bread with some oil. I was like a woman on a mission on the way home, people eating mcdonalds on the train, those cornish pasties and it...

Everyone thank you, people can be so blinded sometimes. Before I know it I'll be thin and people will be telling me they liked the old me, Hedgehog its must feel wonderful to see 11.2 again, I know i will be thrilled. If I lose 2.5 stone in 7 weeks I would be by far the vainest and happiest...

ignore me just discovered I am on SS+

Yeah that is right is it called something else ? Oops. I thought it was SS but would make sense now.I am on SS+ as I am allowed milk. I started to panic then :-)

Just finished my first week and I have been on 4 shakes a day. someone mentioned they are on three.... Also read some post which also state 3 shakes. I am curious, if everyone is on 3 and I am on 4 and only 5ft 3inches shall I call my CDC and confirm. I have 21 packs and 7 bars today, for...

Hi there, I am 5ft 3inches and on 4 shakes a day, one for breakfast, one for lunch, one for dinner and another for (not sure), just went to see me CDC today and again 3 shakes and one bar. could this be that I am on the wrong one? Thats really odd, bmi start off was 35! Um now I am curious...

I went to see my CDC today - lovely woman mentioned I struggled this week, teary etc and then to top it all I just can't seem to eat anything, I literally have to force myself to take a shake and go all day without - bit odd I know. Anyhow I am on the 3 shakes and 1 bar. Must admit they are...

Oh gosh, need to change it, I weighed 12,11 this morning. Lowest I have been for a long long time :-) However at my weigh in session with CDC I am only 13.0 so best change my weigh in stats. 3 pound how, why??? Where did it come from???

Thank you everyone and porgeous, if I have not looked at your picture so much this week and thought my god! I want to look fabulous like yourself. Your pictures are truly an inspiration when you hit the bottom. i can't wait to be thinner!!!! Off to the gym today for a light swim...

Its been a long long week but finally made it to the first week and lost 10 pound!!!! I would have quit days again if not for the constant support from others on this site, its been a long and rocky road but we got there, just another 11 weeks to go and hopefully the worst week is over and...

For me, I just could not stop eating, even when I ate I was still hungry since my wedding in August. I gained a stone since then and watched how suddenly i was buying an 18 and when friends too some pics of me, I realised that I looked bloated and busty! Actually will put up a pic of what made...

I know you feel bad but you really have given me hope that to be honest it wont taste half as nice as i thought it did. I keep getting so fustrated and doesn't help with food menus coming through the door thick and thin.. Even on Sunday the swines!!!! I even got a leaftet for 1.99 mcdonald...

right pulled myself together and dusted myself down, got a duvet and had another shake.. another week it is!!!! Jo, your weight loss is fantastic! day 7 tomorrow. x

haha i'm crying again. i am such a whimp. everyone is so lovelt

I know this is not the right thing to say but I am going to throw it out there and say it.... I'm really struggling, the mood swings and I am freezing even with lots of clothes and blanket :-( I can't stomach the shakes anymore just feel so sick its hard to drink them. I'm considering...

Perfect, I want to tighten up, feel really flabby and soooooo cold!!!!

waht a massive achievement already, your weight loss is fabulous! Monsoon are great !!!

with most diets exercise is the key, has anyone combined the two and achieved better results and faster?

My lord if I lost 21lbs in nearly 2 weeks I would saviour every moment and enjoy the road to a slimmer new me... Great great work

What a great weight loss!!!! You have achieved so much already and great results

what is a tetra?

How funny that the brain doesn't say "um thats not wine" hahaha. Knocking it back quicker in the wine glass x

Hi there, I reached day 6 today and wondering when the hunger does a death, however i can definately say its gone. Hubbie eating pasta in front of me and I just said "My god looks like a plate of fat" and helped myself to a glass of water. Not been able to stomach any soups or shakes until about...

i am indulging in a glass of sparking water in a wine glass so not to feel so much in denial. I told my hubbie I am having a wine, he looked at me odd as i was pouring water into the glass and said "I hope I don't get too drunk and make a fool of myself" hahahahah love sparking water....even...

Thanks so much so many questions! I annoy myself :-)

okay had the shake (that was a misson) and going to stop weighing myself. Does anyone know why some lose more than others??? I see such great weight loss and would love to hit 10 pound mark but unlikely. I have done so well but feel I will only lose about 7-8 pound (still amazing) but in the...

thanks darl, I'll try and get something inside me now. Not sure where my appetite has walked off to. your pics look fabulous

Any reason why the weight has just stopped going down? Thanks for yoru support x

I've reached day 6! Its been a long long rocky road and almost threw in the towel last night, funnily enough I didn't crave food if I am honest I just wanted it. I wanted to put food in my face and sip a glass of wine, I know the dangers of drinking when in Ketosis. Don't have a drink...

Debs, did you struggle in the first week? I feel emotional, i was an emotional binge eater in the past and loved going out for dinner and drinks with friends, watching a good movie with some pop corn etc. Now all week I feel pants, nothing feels the same anymore - if that makes sense. I guess...

hI, I started on the 19th as well, weigh in on Bank Holiday Monday x

After another moment of tears, I took Hubbie for a pint (I had water) and caught up with friends who have not seen in a while and asking why I look so down. Explained on a diet and feeling it today (again) just had an hour of lecture on slowing my metabolism etc and fad diets. What happens...

do you stay in ketosis throughout the CD SS program? That is wonderful news if so, I should really get moving more to help use up that fat? I haven't really considered exercise this week as worried I would fall over or faint hahah I do feel a little lit headed sometimes, however had to nip out...

Thanks for the link! Just had a read through and makes perfect sense, kind of got the jist but not enough, it appears I have to keep reading things over and over for my brain to register properly. Thank god I am not at work as I am sure I would be a making lots of mistakes.

Yes indeed, I started on Monday 19th and on the CD SS. Are you?

Ooops sorry must have fuzzy head still, I read the post wrong. I just read I am in ketosis so excuse my question of "Am I in it" hahahah.

Sorry to sound thick! But very new to the whole thing and learning loads from the site, what does that mean? Ketones? Am I offically in Ketosis? I am not hungry funnily enough but I do wonder what a plate of mash will feel like in 12 weeks hahahah

Has anyone tried the ketosticx? I just brought some and appear to be "Trace" according to the tub however not really sure what this means - whether good bad, etc. can someone from experience advise what I am suppose to look for and how often to do this? Thanks x

Ladies i can't thank you enough, if I hadn't found this site I must admit I would never have got to day 5... Thanks for all the help, drank so much water today you would all be so proud!

Hi there, day 5. Funnily enough not craving food, had my shake but the taste was not great.. Still achy and want to go back to bed, got my 1.5 litre water next to me and ready for action. I weighed myself this morning and appeared to have gained 3 pound which is werid as almost every day it was...

Thanks again, drinking more water now. I took 4 days off work to help get use to the diet (without throwin a stapler at anyone) hhahaa, will sleep again tonight and wake up motivated. thanks for your support, I noticed your weight loss! congratulations. You must feel great.

lacey thanks so much, can I ask did your body ache is this normal?

Hi, I am on CD and SS, if I am honest I haven't drunk near enough water today :-( Only a glass

After day 4 and feeling so high and positive, this afternoon I reached a real slump, slept for hours and woke feeling sick and a bit depressed if I am honest. After a good cry I just felt like I couldn't go on, felt really weak, body aching and just can't get comfortable. Is it normal to...

Hi, can I join? Started on Monday 19th May. would love to lose 3 stone in 3 months

Loopy your weight loss is fantastic!!!! You must feel a million pound, if not more. My husband told me he can see a difference already from my neck (I did start to look like I was carrying my breasts under my chin) Woo, neck weight loss love it, pretty soon I might see my feet. I am like a large...

How long does that last? How funny I thought I could smell nail vanish remover lately.. it must be oozing out of me. Going to carry mini mouth wash whereever I go..

Sailaice I could be the worlds worst person to put myself down and throughout the 4 days keep so positive, your doing so well! We both got through the worst days and we are closer to the first week! Yehay! I fished out some clothes I adored when I was about a 16 (think they might really be a...

Fourth day in and I feel great, jumped on the scales (prob not good) but lost 7 pound already and loving seeing the arrow going down rather than up up and up.... Weigh in on MOnday and can't wait!!!! Friday night takeaways and a bottle of wine was the old fat me! Looking forward to another...

Sunshine, what a great weight loss in your first week! I too find it a bit hard in the evenings, my husband is cooking chips in the kitchen at present while I am waiting for the hot water to cool down for a nice soup. I'm trying to keep busy (thursday nights are our nights out drinking...

Actually I might take that back as I feel really light and good but head fuzzy I had to read the message twice - hahahaha. I go in for my weigh in on bank holiday Monday at 8pm. Gosh I hope this lasts, my home will be spotless :-)

I am three days in and felt pants for all of it, the weridest thing is by this afternoon I felt very odd, I actually spring cleaned the house, ironed and fancy the gym! its just the werdiest feeling...

Three months is a blessing considering its taken me nearly 7 years to gain the weight. Its my 1st wedding anniversary on August 11th and it would be wonderful to look the way I did (a little older) when he first met me. Might even dig out those old dresses I kept (Just in case)

That is fantastic! I've been keeping up the water intake, only managed 1.5 litres all day and spent most of that on the toilet. I have to say the hardest thing at the moment is drinking the water, I'm sure it makes me hungry :-( On a good note, the advice is to drink drink drink so hopefully...

How much would you expect to lose each week, is it common to have a massive weight loss in the first week and gradually go down thereafter?? Is it like weightwatchers were you lose about 1-2 pound a week. I have been checking out all the comments and finding them really inspirational.

Hi from one newbie to another 3 weeks and nearly a stone!!! Fantastic work, very inspirational.

Woo! How tall are you if you don't mind me asking, you look fantastic and I can't believe the difference in just two weeks...

I agree! However I need a push in the right direction. It took 5 years to get to this size so I'm on the Cambridge to give me the push I need to help change the way I feel about myself and remember what it was like to shop withouth walking out feeling deflated and humilated.

Oh gosh, didn't realise it was a danger, although from past experience with a glass or two of vino I think I can sing and tend to induldge in something naughty. That is great to know incase I think one wont hurt.. thanks again, really getting the hang of this now and surprisingly drinking lots...

What happens when you socialise (quite a bit)and suddenly it all stops, do people get crazings for a cold glass of wine??? How do you cope for 12 weeks when BBQ season is just around the corner (and bank holiday coming up) so far I have been great, not had the urge but I wonder if you suddenly...

Hey, I'll join I hope to lose between 8-10 pound by the end of May (Only started on Monday)

Keep up the good work

Do you get days off?

Also, not to keep sounding like a newbie to the CD, but does this mean whilst you are on shakes etc that I will still be in ketosis? Am I right in thinking Ketosis is fat burning??? I kinda of get it, even all the articles I read I can't make much sense out of it - not sure whether this is...

Thanks so much for all the messages, its great to hear others have gone through the same thing and I know my old self would fall off the wagon and prob not get back on for a while, but advice is really good, those bars sound like a blessing especially if they fit into my bag. Driving would have...

Hi Karen, What is aam? I will have a chat to the CD counsellor next week about the bars, they sound great.

Hi there, I am day 3, CD SS and feel better than yesterday, felt cold, really depressed and had to talk myself out of binging on some pasta left over from lunch. All going well, apart from my new relationship with the toilet. I weighed myself today and lost 6 pound already, I couldn't lose that...

can I ask some advice?? I started the CD, SS on Monday 19th May (this monday :-)) and I have been chatting to one of my good mates about her wedding, which is on June 27th, I asked if there was a way I could cancel the dinner and booze for me and much as she wants to support me in my journey...

Inspirational! I have just started CD SS and although only 3 days in and wondering "Why why why, could I just not learn to eat less, eat right and exercise more, then feel this personal hell" I have to say, you are inspirational! You look like a totally different person, your skin glowing...

Water hehehhe thank you so much, I started to feel like I am have a problem. i like the idea all that fat is being flushed out. I guess I do have a lot to shift so would explain the constant need to pee :-(

Hi I have been on CD, SS for three days and struggling to drink enough water without feeling sick (I know its important and am trying to drink plenty) however why do you need the toilet so much, I don't think I am drinking enough to hit the toilet constantly and for the first time ever I had...

Thanks Debs Its great to hear of a fellow dieter. I'll get to the chemist tomorrow.

CD yesterday I started CD yesterday and I still don't get the ketosis, when will I know I am in it??? Currently I feel, sick hungry and a little depressed if I am honest. Any help would be great

What a wonderful forum! I am 5ft 3inches and weighed in at 13,7. Offically my second day and not sure what to expect (hopefully lots of weight loss) I feel terrible and have the most awful heads. Also very tired of seeing food alround me and have to be strong not to binge when no one is...
