You'll be OK Alf, the odd melt down is almost the law on this diet. I have lost the sickie feeling today but think thats cos I have not drank enough water !!!!

Hia Shini Good luck with the restart. I am on day 2 also. CC

Yeah, we fly 26 August so a week after you. They say a stone a month right (bit more first month), so I would say we could lose 2.5 - 3 stones before we go away. I have loads of clothes I can't fit into too. Onwards and upwards !!!

Hi Hannah I am on day 2 also. Mt fave soup is Oriental Chilli, it's lovely. Good luck CC

Ohhh, I love Greece. I am feeling better today, already drank a litre of water and in a better frame of mind than yesterday. How about you?

Good luck Hayley, sounds like you are doing really well. Hope you still manage to lose something this week even with your planned break. CC

I'll do it with you Claire, I want to lose 3 stones if at all possuble by 26 August so that I can enjoy my holiday to Italy. I have been on and off CD for 4 years now, I just cant seem to keep it off and yoyo. Better than just staying big I suppose but really want to crack it this time and...

Morning Claire, good luck for today. Where are you going on holiday ?

Keeping occupied does help. When I did this before I was always having a bath or doing my nails to take my mind off food :-S

Hey Alf Horrible that sick feeling isnt it? I got it too from too much water and black coffee. Lets hope both get into ketosis quickly and have good losses this week. My OH is skinny too despite eating what he likes, pair him with two kids that eat non-stop !! It just seem to be me that...

Hia Kellmo, I started SS today and have 3 stones to lose. It takes a few days to get into this diet but it does get easier after that. Let uss know how you get on with your cdc x

Hey Alf, the weight seems to appear out of nowhere doesnt it. I have been squeezing myself into clothes that are waaaaaay too small !! Hopefully we will be in ketosis very soon which should make things easier. We CAN do it together, it does help to know others are going through the same and a...

Good luck Sarah, I started today and have 3 stones to lose. Wishing you all the best for you weigh in tommorrow x

Wow Emily thats brilliant for you first week. Well done you :0)

So, I felt myself getting bigger for a while. I even blamed the tumble drier for shrinking my clothes but eventually I hopped on the scales to see I had put on 2 stones in the last 6 months. Looking at myself now I can see it has ALL gone round my tummy and my waist measurement is way too...

Ugh, broccoli and cheese porridge !!!! You have made me chuckle. CCx

Well done. We will be slim in no time !! CCx

Well done, 12lbs in 4 days is brilliant. Keep up the good work. CCx

Hello everyone Weigh in went well and I lost 6lbs in my first 5 days. I have now lost 8lbs and over the moon as people are starting to notice already. I really and hoping to be less than 11 stones for my weigh in on Saturday so wish me luck. Tartan, if you are on day 4 and not hungry then...

Thanks Petrina :-) I see you have lost 12lbs already, well done you. I need to get a ticker and some goals in my signature, will try and work out how to do it. CCxx

Well, it's my first weigh day today. I have been SSing since Monday and am on day 6 so wish me luck. I know I have lost weight but not sure what her scales will say. I am hoping for 6lbs. CCxx

Hia, I had this 2 weeks ago....and this is why I am on CD today !!! Grrrr to people who ask things like this. CCx

I thought add a meal was after 4 weeks? CCx

Good luck, I turned 40 on 1 January and I am loving it !!!! Mxxxx

Hia gang Sorry i've not been on for a couple of days. I am on day 5 now and in ketosis, I feel fine and am doing well. I have hopped on the scales at home and know I have lost weight, I'll let you know what the CDC's scales say tomorrow :-) What you lot got planned for the weekend? CCxxxx

Sarah, I have just sent you a FB friend request (my initials are MP (was) H) Yippeeeee, am feeling motivated. CCxxxx

Hello everyone, yay we have a little team. I am on day 3 and it's not been so bad. I even had a job interview yesterday and I felt just fine for it despite not having eaten. I like the idea of a fecebook group, I'm always on there. Perhaps we should do some kind of getting to know you...

Hi there I am similar to you, done this before, didn't follow the programme and so am restarting today. I am a similar height to you and also our starting weights are similar. I have struggled with my weight since the birth of my babies :-( Let's get it all off once and for all, I am...

Hi Iwant2bslim It's my 1st day of SSing today too. Hope you are getting on ok. CC

Way to go Sunny, that is fantastic news. Well done you :-) CCx

Thanks Sunny So far so good, I've just had a soup and am 1 litre of water down. I have an interview tomorrow and am hoping that i won't be too jittery for that, you know it is like until keto sets in. I have some nytol for tonight so I know I will sleep:-) How you doing so far today? CCx

Hello Vauxhall, you have done it before and you will do it again. I have every faith in you mate. Especially with a new partner. I hate day 3 too, I get all jittery but find taking Nytol when I got to bed until ketosis kicks in really helps. Do you live in Vauxhall by the way? I grew up...

Good luck Claire, stick with it and you'll be stones lighter for your wedding. I have trouble with social events, I agree with PP that you should decide what you are going to do and stick to it. Remain in control and make the right choices and you may not even come out of keto. Good luck...

Hi there I am returning to CD on Monday 23 March and I want to lose 3 stones. I did CD for 3 weeks last September but was struck down with an ear infection and ill for some weeks on pain killers, anti sickness and, anti biotics and had to stop. The weight i lost stayed off till Christmas...

I am with you on this. My family think it is a silly diet and say "you will put it all back on after". But do you know what, that can be said of every single diet going!!! I would rather go up and down a bit than just continue to get bigger. Anything to try and reduce weight is great in my...

Hia I am restarting next Monday. I love the flavours on CD and like the oriental chilli, the vanilla shake, the toffee bars, all the tetras and the potato and leek. CCxx

Thats interesting Silence, thanks Well, sgtarting day 4 today and all seems to be going well and I am a couple of pounds down. I have been drinking coffee with milk, do you think this will hinder the diet? Maybe I should switch to black coffee. I felt really anxious not last night but the...

Can I join in ? Today I had:- Breakfast - ham and cholesterol lowering fake cheese (the fake cheese is nice believe it or not) Lunch - Salmon fillet with broccoli Dinner - Steak and broccoli I am on day 2 of a slight tweaked version of South Beach and doing fine. I'd lost 2lb when I...

That does sound nice. I usually have breakfast at work and think I might got for egg and bacon tomorrow :-) Fed up with ham !! I might give you English brekkie omelete a whirl at the weekend, leaving out the haricot beans (seems an odd choice are they to replace baked beans/are they baked...

Ahh thanks all. Silence, I am finding it easy so far. Had my lunch and mid-morning snack fine. I did my own breakfast of a few slices of ham as can't be doing with those quiche cups. I think it is quite a nice diet healthy and common sense. I have high cholesterol so need to be careful...

Hi all I am starting South Beach phase 1 tomorrow. I wondered if any one had done this recently and if so if you found it easy to stick too? How much did you lose. I have done my shopping today. Wish me luck. Mxxx

Blimey, what a difference. Well done mate. CC

Hia Leeds123 I am on day 11 and have lost 12 pounds - yippeeeee. I'll buddy up with you too. Perhaps we should start our own group? CCxx

Hia I took nytol until I was well in ketosis. When I did the diet before I felt really anxious and jittery the first fews days and could not sleep and I wanted to avoid it this time round. Worked a treat for me and I lost 9.5 pounds in my first week :-) Mx

Well I can report that last Friday (soz not been on) at my first week weigh in I lost 9.5 lbs !!!!! I was chuffed as my goal for last week was to lose 7lbs. I hope to lose 4 lbs this week which will take me to just under a stone. I should easily lose a stone in three weeks. I am feeling...

Hia Can I join your team please? I restarted on SS on Friday and am 5.5lbs down already. I need some pals to help me along. CCx

Well It's day three and I am 5.5 down. I feel really chuffed. My goal for this first week is to lose 7lbs and I think I should be able to do that. I'm being good with my water also and got through three litres yesterday, I am aiming for 4 today. Flush that fat right out !!! CCxx

Good morning I am on day 3 now and all going well as I lost 5.5lbs in my first two days YAY ! I have a 5th birthday party to attend at 11.00am (odd time I know) and we might take the kids swimming this afternoon. I know I am not in ketosis yet as I am a little hungry this morning but I...

That's a brilliant weight loss. Well done you. CCx

Well... I lost 3lbs on my first day yesterday and am chuffed. Saw my counsellor today and got my weeks supplies (had some old packs which I used yesterday), I've tried the porridge which I think tastes nice but is a little thin. My counsellor said to put it in the microwave but I do not...

Hi everyone I started CD this morning doing sole source. I have done it before but regained a bit and want to get back down Do you mind if I join you guys for some support. Has anyone else started today? How you finding it? Mxxx

Well done you. CCx

WOW, you have done brilliantly. Well done. CCx

Hi all I am on day 10 and it has flown by. It'll be the end of the month soon and we'll all be a stone down YAY. CCx

Thanks, I am deffo going to get some breath stuff tomorrow as it is awful. Banana poo? I hope it didn't come out tetra shaped ha ha ha. Mx

I think placenta lasagna has a nice ring to it though. Perhaps I should invite the ex round for tea and cook it for him tee hee. CCx

Can we take anything for the breath? I dread having meetings and have been sitting with a A4 note pad in front of my mouth which I doubt comea across as very professional !!! How about those little strips that melt in the mouth? CCx

I love this thread. Right, my mouth constantly tastes like sh*te. I expect my breath smells of it too. I can feel my poos scraping down my colon and pulling. Is this what some of you mean by shards of glass? It is black and hard. What would Gillian McKeith say about our distinct lack of...

Hia I could live off bars and when I have done CD in the past I have had more than one on occasion. They make my tummy rumble but don't actually make my bottom burp ha ha ha. I think the thing for me, is more like mentioned by a pp that they are like eating chocolate bars and quite...

Hia can i join the newbie group. I am on day 6 and 5.5 pounds down/ How are you all doing? I hope you are still on the diet? CCx

WOW - well done. Your losses have been fantastic. You will be at goal in not tme. CCx

LOL, I am always cold on this diet. I am on day 5. The water doesn't help. Glug glug glug. CCx

Hello I am on day 5 of CD and doing really well. Need to lose 2 stones to get to my goal weight. Wish me luck. CCx

Thanks girls. I feel a bit better this afternoon. Just kept gluggling the water and a coke zero helped as I am allowed a pint a day. I hope I feel a bit better tomorrow as have an interview YIKES. Anyways, am feeling good at the moment and rather proud of myself. Looking at your tickers...

Hi All It's day 2 on CD, I have restarted after doing this before xmas. I think I can remember feeling anxious before I got into ketosis last time. Just wondered if anyone else suffered from this recently. I hope it goes soon, I don't like it :sigh: CCx
