plenty of carbs to get you out of ketosis. Ketosis and alcohol can be really dangerous.

Don't know about normal but last time I had first totm after 4 weeks - it lasted for 10 days then and 5 days off and it started again - again for 10 days and then another 5 days without and on for another 10 days - I was tearing my hair out and then into a "perfect" 28 day cycle for the rest of...

Congratulation - what a great achievement.

Go for it Marshma - I'm sure you will get there ;-) My unofficial mid week weigh in had another 2lbs off so thats 22 in total this month, and my goal of 21 met . Not updating it on the list 'til its official on Sunday! 2 more weigh ins til the end of the month - shall I push the boat out and...

HIya. Good Luck with the restart. First time round I lost 13,5,5,5,5 and this time it is 13,7 but I have a lot to lose. I work out what my losses will be based on albs a week - that way I am very rarely disappointed (i think only 2 weeks last time of losing 2 lbs) but an extra is a bonus and...

Not sure if its the same one - but there is a sticky at the top called Graph or Spreadsheet - its on page 3

I'm back because I didn't follow the steps - got to within albs of goal, stopped for an operation and just went straight back to old eating because I knew I would have to come back to finish it - Just didn't figure it would take me 15 months of "restarts" (aka shake in the morning and binge for...

Not sure - my book is 2 years old - but I think it is limited to 1 cup of that or the water flavourings per day

Updated list with starkats and Dids123. Well done everyone - keep going 1. Liveonce= (12.4) -14lb 2. Marshma - Marshma - 14lb (3lb down 11 to go) 3. Mini = 12lbs (6lb down - 6lb to go) 4. Shazzy_shaz = 14lbs 5. BethereforChristmas = -21 (-13,-7 :1 to go) 6. Zimmum (11.6) = 10lbs (2lb off, 8 to...

From my experience this is more truthful that what it appears some consultants have been saying. I did CD for 6 months and 4 months in my hair started to fall out dramatically - not patches just an huge about thinner. It still carried on once I started eating again. About 6 months after the...

Thats brilliant - well done

Week 2 over 1. Liveonce= (12.4) -14lb 2. Marshma - Marshma - 14lb (3lb down 11 to go) 3. Mini = 12lbs (6lb down - 6lb to go) 4. Shazzy_shaz = 14lbs 5. BethereforChristmas = -21 (-13,-7 :1 to go) 6. Zimmum (11.6) = 10lbs (2lb off, 8 to go) 7. laura86= 12lbs (8 down-4 to go) 8. Sherry = 15lbs 9...

Oh Good luck - can't wait to hear how it goes. You must be so excited. How long did you wait between reaching goal and the tuck?

I don't see that it would be a problem - my CDC says they recommend that you stick to each "plan" for a full week, but to me its all about making it work and keeping going.

Well done on nearly 2 stone that is a huge achievement. It is really frustrating when you don't feel its working, but it is!. 2 stone is incredible in 5 weeks - a lot of feeing the difference depends on how much you have to lose - I know it took me nearly 4 stone before my clothes size went...

Hope you are feeling better. I found eating really difficult - don't give into it - just really try to get back into it as soon as you can. It will probably take a similar amount of time as it did the first time round. The sooner you can you better it will be. Don't use it as an excuse to...

think its plain yoghurt only, as the flavours in others aren't on the "allowed" list of foods !

Well done for starting - thats a huge step in itself. Please don't judge yourself by others weight losses - it varies so much with everyone. There is a great sticky at the top here about now judging by what the scales say - its worth a read. CD themselves say you will lose a stone a month -...

Hi rb93 You sound like you are in a good frame of mind to give it a go. Its a tough diet for sure, but it also has spectacular results. There are some huge losses on here -but do remember CD say the average loss is a stone a month - so be realistic in how fast you will lose - if you are...

Well done - thats such strong willpower

I know just how you are feeling - I really hate myself for what i have done to myself - I was within 4 lbs of goal and slipped and have let nearly all of it go back on . So frustrated. But I am a week back into it now (after a year of restarting and failing virtually every day!) and...

There is so much conflating advice about exercise on CD - I think if you have not done much exercise before then the first few weeks is not a good time to start any, however if you are used to exercise there shouldn't be any reason why you shouldn't carry on (listening to your body).. There is a...

Your legs are so much slimmer, well done, you must feel great.

First week official weigh in , -13. Naijagirl - updated yours for you - hope thats OK 1. Liveonce= (12.4) -14lb 2. Marshma - 14lb (2lb down 12 to go) 3. Mini = (15.11) - 12lbs (2lb down - 10lb to go) 4. Shazzy_shaz = 14lbs 5. BethereforChristmas = -21 (-13, 11 to go) 6. Zimmum = 10lbs 7...

Hope you are feeling better - I really wouldn't worry about the ketosis/not losing weight side of it - 1 coke and some alcohol really shouldn't make that much difference. When I started CD a medical friend tried explaining it to me in (according to her) simplistic terms. She explained that...

Just get straight back onto it - make sure you keep drinking plenty of water. Good luck for the weigh in ;-)

yay - thats great - keep drinking plenty of water though - its easy to forget when you first start feeling "better". Have you got loads of energy yet - thats the bit i enjoy! Its day 6 for me today, 1040pm and I have just started rearranging the house...normally i'm exhausted and it bed by 10.

Don't know why - this is my umpteenth restart but for some reason I'm feeling a worried about it. I guess i'm worried it won't live up to past experience/my expectations.

yup - some people get it worse than others - I found a nice warm bath worked for feeling cold - or running around! Hope you feel better soon - I found after a week or so in ketosis my energy levels go sky high ;-)

How long have you been doing SS? I often find that my weight will stick for a while (normally on days 3-6 of the week) making me think that I won't lose that week and then suddenly 3 -4 lbs comes off. Such a shame that is doesn't come off at 1/2 lb a day - it would be so much easier to...

I struggle with the afternoons/evenings too. I have my first shake when i get up and then wait as long as I can before my second - if I can slip it to mid afternoon it seems to be much easier. I am also happy to have a 4th shake in the day if I am really struggling (am right on the height...

Wow you lookamazing- yo must be so pleased- well done

Im the other side of the coin- sorry- for me its everything or nothing and even 1 tiny bite of something sends me right off track. I have to stop using food as a reward otherwise i will be staying right where i am. Good luck making the right choice for you .

You must be soooo pleased- brilliany - well done.

Good advice there from lil legs. Put it behind you, move on and do it 100%. I alawys find if im 100% its easy- One bite of anything or even a finger lick of the cake mixture and i am on that downward slope. Dont beat yourself up either- its happened , you cant change it ... But... Dont use it...

Really good thanks Day 5 nearly out of the way too, Hubby wanted fish and chips this evening so had to go and buy them, drive it home (20 mins of smell torture) and smell them eating it. He did have my shake ready though so I could sit and drink it as they ate ;-). I was 10lbs down this...

sorry you sts - but don't let it get to you - you will probably have a really good loss next week!

me either - but it seems to make sense!

Good luck - drink plenty of water - and stick to it -don't cheat. It is a great diet and really works but the first few days are a challenge - but worth it.

thats is so funny - brilliant

HI Mollie Good luck - first few days a tough but after that it gets easier - if you stick to it 100% you will find it will fly by - the more you don't the hard it is. It is a great diet with fab results

Finally getting back into it 1. Liveonce= (12.4) -14lb 2. Marshma - 14lb (2lb down 12 to go) 3. Mini = (15.11) - 12lbs 4. Shazzy_shaz = 14lbs 5. BethereforChristmas = -21 (-9, 12 to go) 6. Zimmum = 10lbs 7. laura86= 12lbs 8. Sherry = 15lbs 9.Naijagirl = 13lbs 10. Kezzybee= 14lbs(-4lb..10lb to...

Just read this on another site - not sure if allowed to link so copied instead Question: What is Ketosis? Answer: A lot of people are confused by the term "ketosis." You may read that it is a "dangerous state" for the body, and it does sound abnormal to be "in ketosis." But ketosis merely means...

YOu say you have done CD before - Have you tired the different shakes again - I couldn't bear the tetras last time but find the chic one OK this time and ones I hated last time I like and others (cappuccino/vanilla ) which I lived on just men me feel so sick this time - just too sweet. Weird

Keep going - you can do it. You can always have a 4th shake if it helps

you must find that so difficult. How did the rest of the day go? Hanging on in there I hope.

How about having an extra shake or bar each day so you could mane have one earlier in the afternoon - say 1 pm and then your last at around 6. In the past I really struggled on my long days but sticking to CD product meant I didn't have to make choices! Today is my tough day because I had...

I am right here with you - Day 4 for me and I am so fed up with myself for all the numerous failed restarts. The first time round I found it so easy and lost zoo much and ended up putting so much back on because I couldn't stick to the restarts ;-(. You can do it, just get the first week done...

Oooh Tricky one - I would never normally hope for more than 14 per month, but tomorrow is my restart and I have had a really bad/bingey week this week and am full of carbs so I should have a good first week loss so I am going to push the boat out and go for -21. 1. Liveonce= (12.4) -14 2...

Congratulations - thats a fantastic loss. Well done.

thats great - hopefully a few more days and I'll be saying the same.

Thanks for the support - it can and does work (as long as I stick to it!). Toria your losses are amazing - well done.

Good plan to keep busy - I should try it too. I know just how you feel (about letting yourself down) I have done exactly the same and just don't seem to be able to focus again. Its so frustrating - particularly for you as you have such a positive goal to aim for - my baby days are over ;-( ...

7 days thats great - How are you feeling?

Wow you look amazing - what an inspiration. Well done

Good luck for your week 1 weigh ins - The first week is so hard.

Good luck -You can do it.

I have a bit of an up and down history with CD - Lost 8 stone on it - put most of it back on and have spent the last year being on and off again. SO am trying to refocus and starting again today. Just praying that I can get a good couple of weeks done to keep me going and working towards being...

Good Luck - I like your incentives - wish I could have them as well. I'm on day 2 today so fingers crossed.

Wow thats amazing - well done
