Hi there, I too have managed to hit my heaviest weight of 16.11 and am currently on day 6. The weekend has quite frankly been mental torture but as my consultant reminded me today - this diet is mind over matter and just keep focusing on why you need to lose this weight. Welcome to the boards...

I dont feel so alone now lol I am really intrigued by the Cambridge shop - this sounds really thick but is it a proper shop open to anyone or just selling from a house. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ah thanks tiggeremma i will try the conversation again Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I spoke to my consultant re bars and she said only 1 bar a day so im gonna have to experiment with shakes/tetras and mix a mousse. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I just dont like milkshake at all. Prob not the best diet for me lol. Im gonna get some tetras if i can too. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ive just text my consultant and she said she forgot to tell me about spag bol etc so im getting a couple to try next week. Might try some hot shakes for a change. I made myself have the second milkshake as i know i need to follow plan properly. I weigh in sat so if i really struggle the next...

Hi all, i started cambridge again yesterday and my stomach is already starting to reject the shakes. I have never been a milkshake lover to start with so i was wondering if anyone has successfully done step 2 (or any step for that matter) with 2 bars a day. I can just about stomach 1 a day but i...

I am very new to this but what immediately stood out to me is the amount of bread. It may not be carbs in general that are the problem but the type of carbs. I am ok with rice and potatoes but as soon as i have bread or pasta i am sluggish, bloated and don't lose weight. Maybe experiment with...

I noticed Asda had relabelled last week but it still shows less than 5% fat on the new label so that is what we will have to look out for. Thanks for highlighting this. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I too have had a binge however this has lasted since Thursday!! I joined SW last Monday as i just wanted to get started but didn't factor in Easter weekend, being off work and the 13 Easter Eggs my 3yo got!! However the hangover i have today is more needy of a Mcdonalds than an Easter Egg! I...

Morning, I too have PCOS and was told that i had to lose weight before they would commence any fertility treatment. I didn't have periods and all of the blood tests i had prior to losing weight were showing no signs of ovulation. I went on to lose a stone on a VLCD so it happened very quickly...

Wow amazing transformation. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Kiwichan can you not do a mixture of WW and CWP. I am sure a malt toffee bar is something like 5 pro points so if you had one for lunch and fruit for breakfast that would leave the majority of your points for a decent tea and maybe a glass if wine. Just a thought. Sent from my iPhone using...

I was lucky in the fact that the person couldnt accommodate a Sat morning appointment this week even though when i first contacted them i actually said this would be when i needed an appointment so i used this as my reason for changing. I have gone back to the lady i used to see even though i...

Krazzed, where are you based, someone may have a good consultant in that area they could recommend. Ive just changed consultants this week for the same reason. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I know exactly how you feel, I too am stuck on a cycle like a broken washing machine and am really struggling to get off. I too have weighed in on my scales at 15.7 today but I have my CDC coming this morning so I can start again tomorrow. I would love to say I am so motivated that this will...

I will be starting on Sat So im going for 14 lbs RuthG -15lbs LizWhite29 - 10lbs Kiwichan - 10lbs Minnie64 - 14lbs Callumsmammy - 14lbs Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks for this. My CDC eventually got back and said i would have to go up to 1200 or 1500 step while on the tablets. Gutted as it means i will def be out of ketosis as these plans include carbs. Normally i would have thought lets make the most of eating but as i have tonsillitis i cant...

Does anyone know if i am allowed to carry on with the diet when i am on penicillin? I have got tonsillitis and feel terrible. Today i have eaten a little I've cream but i am hoping in a couple of days when sore throat and horrible ill feeling goes i could get straight back on even though i will...

Well folks its day 4!!! Trying to stay up upbeat as its Saturday and thats the hardest day for me. In my dictionary the definition of saturday includes wine, nibbles and/or takeaway. Its gonna be tough but the sun is shining so lets think of summer clothes and great we will all look soon...

This is also my third time lucky. I am going on my first holiday abroad for 14 years 9 weeks tomorrow so i need to lose as much as i can in those nine weeks. My cdc gave me a supply to start Wed but i haven't yet weighed with her. I weighed at home at 14.9 so i want to be in the 13's when i...

I am also on day 3 of step 2 today and am waiting for the horrible tired, weak feeling to appear somewhere between day 3 and day 5!!! Lets hope we both manage to avoid it. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just wondering what peoples experiences are of reducing carbs before they started ... Or not reducing them. I will be starting friday so i wondering if i should reduce my carb intake this week or not. I have done the diet twice before and haven't reduced them but headaches were really...

Muscle doesnt weigh more than fat, 1lb of fat weighs the same as 1lb of muscle. And no it isnt possible for fat to turn to muscle HOWEVER muscles retain water when healing so if may be something to do with this. I didnt realise this but apparently its true. Congrats on loss so far!!! Sent from...

Last time i did cd i had constipation VERY bad, i literally sat and cried my eyes out on the loo however this time i have been taking psyllium husks from holland and barratt am have had no problems at all. You take 2 approx 30 mins before shake/bar and it keeps you regular. I strongly recommend...

Mmm the malt toffee are my faves by far. I could eat 3 a day if i was allowed. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just beware of the week 3 demons as i was 100% and had a stay the same in week 3. I had lost 8lb wk 1 and 5lb week 2 so i am hoping for a woosh this week when i get weighed. Not everyone has this but i have seen a lot of people stay the same or have a very small loss in week 3 so just be...

Cranberrie i can really relate to what you are saying, it was week 3 last week and i stayed the same despite no cheats. I did miss my third pack a couple of days as im doing 810 and just couldnt face it so cdc is putting it down to that. It is so demotivating as this is too hard of a diet yo be...

Stay the same for me, no idea why. Not happy!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Welcome back, i started on ss+ for my first week then upped to 810 last week when i went to an aqua aerobics class and a legs, bums and tums class, i lost 5lb so it certainly didn't effect me in a negative way. I know these aren't the high impact classes i was doing before cd but there is no way...

No tips pixie just stick with it. Drink plenty water and stay strong. I wont lie and say i was 100% but my cheat consisted of a chicken nugget and a little gravy on my veg. I weigh in tomorrow again so fingers crossed its a good one. Hows it going? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I found it ok but it was just a legs, bums and tums class so not a lot of cardio. I plan on doing a cardio class on sunday. Just weighed in tonight and 8lbs gone in wk 1. So chuffed!! Hows everyone doing. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well it is day 3 folks, how are we all doing? Im not too bad this morning, had choc shake earlier and i am feeling quite positive. Well done for resisting the scale sparkles, i am a habitual daily weigher so i have an idea what i have lost in a couple of days but that is spurring me on in these...

Well i resisted tea time. The constant piddling is worse than when i was pregnant lol. Well day 2 nearly over so lets pray for good willpower on day 3. Congrats getting to day 5 sparkle

I know it is all in our heads. As soon as my little one is away to bed i will be too. What are we like??

I am also on day 2 and although i dont have a headache at the moment i am facing such mental torture. If i make it through tea time without caving i will be extremely proud. I am doing ss+ so at least i can have some chicken with lettuce soon but its everything other than that which i am...

I actually put a little water in my wok to 'fry' chicken and found this works well and keeps chicken really moist, no hard bits lol. Was very dubious at first but honest it is lovely.

Is that for the big bottle, ive got a couple of the little bottles as they were a pound in asda. Ill have to check the amount in a big bottle and compare. Thanks v much for that.

Hi does anyone know how many syns are in a 250ml of b by black tower. Its the lower alcohol version of black tower. Thank in advance.

Choc shake

Or a protein shaker, i find this works well and helps the bingo wings lol

Even though you went slightly off plan dont worry as you have done well to resist the lovely puddings. If you are anything like me you would hav previously opted for the 3 courses cos evry1 else was and would have devoured them potatoes lol. How are you feeling today? U still in ketosis???

Ooo i have a spare packet of oriental soup so me thinks i will give that a go later.

Im restarting today after a carb filled weekend. Good luck and you know if works we just have to stay focused.

Well done, keep up good work

I really like the mango shakes, first one of the day with ice cold water. I honestly cant think of anything worse than a coconut milkshake. Yuk!!!

Exactly, dont let people like him get to you . I also would gave gave him a good slap!!

Well done, u look fab hun

Well done hun u look fab

Well done evryone? Hope i can do it in 6 wks

Wow well done

It can take a couple of weeks to catch up so just b careful you dont get into the mindset this week that you can cheat a little and still lose as some people do. It can b a very slippery slope. Keep 100% this week and you may have got away with it all together.

I also suffer terrible with constipation and found that dulcolax was the only thing that worked. Rather than taking 2 at a time i found that having 1 tablet every couple days made it more bearable. I dont know if u have used these but when you have 2 you really know about it. The stomach cramps...

I absolutely love zumba, i would hate to see a video if me doing it lol but its a great fat burner! And fun too

Hi i do ss+ and also hav a bf like yours. I showed him the book and explained that ss and ss+ are step 1 and after a while he seemed to understand. Saying that he wasnt stumping up any cash so it might hav been different if he was. Either way u r not a quitter, this is one of the hardest diets...

Are we def allowed beansprouts, they arent on the list in the book ive got.

Good, you will feel loads better with a little food. You might find once in ketosis u arent hungry so go back to ss but i just like to hav summit when oh has his tea.

No i found crunch bars awful texture. All dif tastes innit.

I have done ss+ since day 1 and have lost 17 lb in 3 wks so dont think there is a big difference between ss and ss+. My start weight was 16.4 so obv depending on your current weight wud depend on what effect it has. I found day 2 and day 4 the worst then since day 5 i have been fine. Just rest...

Did u put it in the fridge? Def my favs the malt toffee!

It wasnt day one of cd hun just the first day i posted. I had a horrible day tho as i have picked up sickness bug from son. Hows day 2 going?

My cdc just charges 40 per week regardless of what you buy. I normally have 7 tetras, 7 bars and 7 powders so dont feel as ripped off after reading the prices some people pay.

Poss TMI- ive been the same since day 1. I can only go if i take 2 dulcolax every 3 days. It isnt pleasant but i just couldnt cope with the alternative of spending hours sitting on the loo making my bot bleed! Ive never tried cambridge fibre but this may work for you.

I haven't actually tried the choc orange shake yet but i would say if you like jaffa cakes you will like the choc orange bar. Sorry.

Welcome to.CD hun. Today is my first day posting on here but i have been reading threads non stop for the last month. Im in my 4th week and doing ss+. Water consumption may seem daunting but try ur best to drink it cos you will find yourself unable to go to the loo. A regular quote on here is '...

I personally couldn't live without the bars on this diet. I only like the orange and malt toffee. Put the malt toffee in the fridge hun, lasts longer and feels like a proper treat with a cup of black coffee at lunch time lol
