Hi Ladies I'm also doing WW Simple Start - finding it pretty easy so far… although having to use a lot of imagination to think up some yummy meals… Loving the idea of eggy crumpets!! Can you use any crumpets or is it just WW ones? Had an Omelette for brunch today - 2 x eggs, onions, tomato &...

Hi girls, To those who started yesterday, how did you do? How you feeling this morning? Slimmer already I bet!! :-) I had my weigh in yesterday - was quite annoyed as on my consultants scales I was 11st12, which means I'd only lost 1lb and a bit.... :-( I had one 'off plan' meal on Saturday...

Hey Becky Sorry for such late reply.... I am doing ok thanks, weight loss is slowing down a lot but I am feeling good!! People are really starting to notice now! Had an awesome feeling the other day, I tried on a size 16 dress that was fairly tight 10 weeks ago and it pretty much fell off me, I...

Hey all... Had a small loss this week of 2.25lbs - So my current weight is 12st 2.75lbs - but this does mean I have less than 1 stone to go... and also I am VERY nearly in the 'normal' range for my BMI..... I was probably about 17 years old the last time I had a 'normal' BMI!!! yay!! I did my...

So your CDC doesn't weigh you? My scales are so different from my CDC's scales... I am always lighter on my home ones!! lol... Thank you... you are going in the right direction too... well done!! What day are you on?

Hi Becky, Thanks! Yeah I am 'suppose' to still be on 4 'meals' / packets a day... Some days I have 4 and some days I have 3, to be honest it depends on how busy I am, some days I will get back from work late and realise that I have only had 2 shakes in the whole day, so have my 3rd then have...

Hey Thanks very much, congrats to you... you are doing amazingly well, we now have pretty much the same BMI and weight.. and our targets are very similar, we can do it!!! Oh and also same goal date... I have a wedding on the 1st Sept so need to make it by then!! :)

Sinead thats great that your partner is doing the CD with you now, that must be great not having someone in the house cooking yummy food and eating in front of you! Wow you are on week 16 that's amazing! I am on Day 16 and that already feels like a lifetime, I can't even imagine getting to week...

Hi All I am currently on Day 16 and have been 100% on ss since day one! But.... I have a dilemma I am going to the races (horse not dog!) next weekend and I can't get out of it as I organised it and plus I can't keep thinking up excuses not to socialise with my friends! My problem is though...

Where do you live? How come you are finding it difficult to find a CDC?

Thanks !! :)

Hey Kellmo How you getting on? Unlike me but I have a very quiet weekend for a change, feeling a bit bored to be honest - but that goes to show I would have normally just filled my boredom with food!!! So far so good! Have not cheated once... :) Boyfriend says he can see a visible difference...

wow thats awesome!! over a stone in under a week!! thats amazing, your weigh in is Tuesday right? Make sure you have all of your products today as you need the nutrients especially after yesterday!! I don't know whether to mention this but my partners younger sister was at the Bournemouth Uni...

Wow!! Well done you!! You look fab!! And sooooo much taller!! :)

Hi All... So on Day 5 now.... feeling ok, not hungry really! however have had a lot of cravings today, I headed into town for a bit of shopping and it seemed that everywhere I looked people were eating/drinking.... I popped in a shop and bought a bottle of water, oh I am a changed women...

Thanks guys! I will defo try all of those things! Fingers crossed!!

Hi All... As we all know one of the main signs of being in Ketosis and doing the CD is having bad breath and a funny taste in your mouth, of course I would be the person to bring this smelly topic up but I am sure we are all suffering with it silently... (I guess it's a really good sign that...

Funny you say that actually I have suddenly come over really hungry!! Have been fine all day!! Drink more water it'll be fine!! The water is helping so much but I find I am forever going for a wee!!!! I started on Tues (5th) and my first weigh in is on Monday so I am doing a 6 day week too...

Wow you look stunning!! I can't even believe that is the same person, what a transformation!! You should be extremely proud! Well done!! :)

Hey kellmo, Congrats for making it to the end of day 2, they say the first few days are the hardest! I am at the end of day 4 - feeling surprisingly ok, just incredibly tired whilst at work especially in the afternoon... I'm not really that hungry just keep getting cravings.... And that's all...

I agree Willow! Girls you look fab! Don't be so harsh on yourselves you are doing something about it that's the main thing! It won't be long until we are all looking like some of the girls off a music video!! Haha!! Cassie loved your new flip flops earlier, so gorgeous! They will look great...

Cassie - what plan has your CDC put you on? We are the same height - I have been put on the ss+ (4 packs and 200ml of skimmed milk) I wonder whether I should drop down to 3 a day, I will speak to my CDC on Monday! Also how are you finding the products, I am loving the soups so far (with...

Hey Cassie Well done so far! You have made an amazing start on CD, what day is your weigh in? Monday? If so then it's the same day as me!! I am on day 4 today too!! I found yesterday really tough and woke this morning with a headache for the 4 th morning running... But hey ho it's worth also it...

Hi Claire How did the rest of your day go yesterday? I hope it got a bit easier! I struggled yesterday too - but still no cheating! Yay! Unfortunately yet another cold and wet day - its the type of weather you just want to snuggle of the sofa with a cuppa and some biscuits!! Lol but NO we...

Thanks Em_Butterfly! Wow have just seen your stats, you are doing amazingly well!!! What week are you on? Can't believe I am only on day 4 - seems to be dragging! I have my first weigh in on Monday hopefully that'll help to motivate me! Also I think I just need to get into a new routine and...

Ok so I have made it to the end of Day 3 - today was quite tough! I have had a very busy and long day at work but have felt really tired!! Along with the tiredness I have also had a very dry mouth.... I had the Oriental Chilli soup tonight, it was soooooo yummy!!! How is everyone else doing...

About £5.50 I think for 50!!

Yeah I watched it! The 30 year old girl was a joke!!! 7000 calories in 1 day!! That's insane! I couldn't believe the amount of food she ordered at Mc D's as well... Made me feel sick too and I am only on Day 2!!

I just bought some from amazon!! Lol

Hey I have just done this with my spicy tomato soup! It does actually say on the back of the pack to add a bit of cold water turn into a paste before adding the hot water... Added lots of cracked black pepper and it was yummy!! :-)

I really disliked water too! But it's stopping me from feeling hungry! Yay!

I'm doing ok I think! Feeling a little bit spaced out but I think I'll feel better once I get to work and keep busy!! Water is suddenly now my new best friend! :)

Wow! SO cute! Is that a congratulations present to yourself for doing so well on CD so far??!! He is gorgeous!! :)

Step away from the Jaffa Cakes!!!!! Day 2 is going ok! (I think you have just read my blog anyhow) Just sipping on lots of water and deciding whether to have soup for lunch or dinner!! Mmmm decisions!! Haha!

Maybe that's it! I am 5ft9!!! Have a good day!! :)

Hey ladies! I am on Day 2 - so far so good! I have a holiday to Lanzarote on 6th Sept and also a friends wedding on the 1st Sept!! I NEED to lose about 3 stone (hopefully by then)!! Let's do it!!! :-)

Keep drinking loads of water hopefully it'll pass!! Maybe try and go for a walk on your lunch break a bit of fresh air might help! (not sure where abouts you are but the sun is out here!!) :)

Day 2 is here!!! I am finding it surprisingly OK!! Although I am definitely not a fan of the Porridge's!!! I forced down the Maple and Pecan one this morning! I am going to try and get my hands on some Ketosis sticks today! I have started a weight loss diary on here somewhere - in the CD...

On Day 2 - so far so good!!! :-)

P.s - I will definitely be trying the Oriental Chilli soup today! (actually quite excited!!) lol How are you getting on? Good Luck on Day 2 too!!!!

Thanks for following me ladies!! :) Ok so this is day two!! I woke up with a really bad headache but I have a stinky cold so I reckon I would have that anyways - I'll feel so much better once my cold disappears as then I'll have a better idea of which symptoms are due to which one.. Diet or...

I started CD today and yesterday I was hit with a lousy cough and cold - I am glad I found this post as I was also wondering the same thing, I have been taking Nurofen for my sore throat... What about cough mixture? Does that affect the diet?

Hi Ok so I am on DAY 1 - I am 2 'meals' down, I started this morning with the Original Porridge - it was bad! :( But to be honest it was bearable - I do generally like Porridge (was eating 'normal' porridge up until I started this plan today) The CD Original Porridge wasn't very thick but...

Hey Wow you did amazingly last year - well done!! Did you put it all back on or have you managed to keep some off?? Good Luck!! I am 2 'meals' down - Strawberry shake was actually a lot nicer than I expected!! mmmm
