Hi JaxieD why have you gone up to 810??? Did your cdc put you up because you had reached a certain weight loss or a lower bmi??? I'm just curious as I'm trying to find out how, when and why we get moved up, as my cdc mentioned me going up soon and I'm a bit in the dark at what stage we move and...

sorry this is a reply for misheemoo. I did try sending you a reply but not sure if I did it right so I'll send it again just in case. I had a venga allergy test(where they test you to see what your body reacts to ie, foods, drinks etc) done and I came out as a yeast sensitive person-should...

thats the way to think, try the strawberry shake and the veg soup they arnt too bad, its just trial and error, but it does work and is worth the sacrifice x

Keep going on ss+ you are doing well, Do you use sweeteners??? I did and found they slowed down my weight loss, now dont use them at all, And what milk do you use???? Try using uht skimmed milk (the one in the carton) as my sister-in-laws told me some shops add a little bit of sugar to their...

WOW well done you xx

yes I just love to look at the ticker, it too gives me pleasure. God I lead a sad life, think I should get out more x

I found now that it gives me pleasure to sniff all the lovely smells of food and not to eat it. think some may think Im a very strange person, I even sniffed my sons lovely chocolate birthday cake!!!!! And I just loveeee cakeee especially chocolate. x

Yes I never thought sweeteners would cause that much trouble, but it just goes to prove they do, so becareful,I'm just stick going to stick to shakes and water from now on, nothing else will pass my lips x

sorry forgot to change my tracker, all done now I'm so proud of that little thing.

Hi just had to tell you all I have finally gone below that horrible 12st mark...I weighed in yesterday at 11st 12lbs. I was soooo over the moon I cant tell you. So it seems that it was the sweeteners, I stopped them and 2lbs came off fantastic. I also spent the day at legoland yesterday and...

thats what I was wondering??? Well done on your fantastic weight loss x

Hopefully by the time we have gone through all the weeks on ss+ then on through to maintain our weight our stomachs should-hopefully, have shrunk enough so we wont want huge portions of food???? I want to go on to sw afterwards as well x

WOW what a loss you are going great guns, keep it up honey.xx

Hi all thanks for the help. Just another little question....How do you put the sparkly writting and pictures on your threads????? I've tried but it just wont appear??? sorry I'am thick I know and I'm not even blonde anymore. xx

Way To Go Fatbird- mind you you'll be changing your name in no time at all if you carry on at this rate. Well done you. It feels soooo good loosing weight xx

I haven't noticed that yet!!!!!! But I must say my teeth ache, no real pain, but they are deffinatly aching, must be lack of use, as they were always busy chewing on one thing after another for years, they must be feeling a bit lonely x

Hi you can do it, you have lost 12lbs so far just remember how wonderful that felt. When you get the urge for something sweet try sniffing at a bottle of vanilla essence - sounds strange but its what the modles do apparently, amazingly it works, think its where it smells so sweet, also have a...

Hi abz good luck with your 1st day. I found it much better to have 1/2 a packet mixed with 190mls water 8 times a day than having the whole thing, or mix a whole packet with lots more water this stops the sicky feeling and 8 meals a day seems alot more than 4 and stops me ever feeling hungry...

Thank you, just found out on another thread that some say the milk can knock you out of ketosis???? So looks like I'm just going to stick to 4 shakes aday for a few days and see what happens, I just want to loose a pound to get me back into the 11's seems along way away xx

Ok right then, I'm off the milk and the sweeteners, lets see if that helps, thank you. And good luck with you weigh in let us know asap XX

ok I'll go and buy some today and see if that helps. Typical that I buy the exact wrong sweetener, it could only happen to me. Thanks for your help x

I use hermasetas, they say on the packet calorie free !!! And I drink 5lts plus of water a day, so I cant really get much more down my throat without drowning x

Yes, but I', thinking of changing to ss, but I think it will be hard to onlly have 3 shakes and I do love to go to bed with my hot milk???

Hi Got a problem, I'am in my 5th week and have been 100% good, my 1st few wks I had a really good weight loss, but it has slowed right down over the last week or so, a pound every 3 days !!!!! Which is heartbreaking, I know you would'nt get that sort of loss on anyother diet, but I want them...

As I've said before I'm very new to all this and need to ask how do you do a reputation report ???? I havent done any and dont want anyone to think I'm rude not doing them. Theres probably loads of other things I'm not doing either?? But I will get there I'm sure. XX:confused::confused::confused:

I have one and I have just started using it and they are brill, not only do you have fun doing exercise and working at clocking up more time on the little counter, it also keeps a chart of your bmi, weight and when you last exercised, so it makes you feel guilty for not jumping on everyday for a...

I've started to do my wii fitness ( only had it since the day it came out-kids love it though and keeps them fit) and I've got this bean thingy from jb sports which helps do all those horrible stomach exercises so will be blowing that up later. Oh and I've just dug out my slender tone belt so I...

I'm starting to tone up this week as well, but I'm not going to up it any more than toning, I'm going to wait till I'm actully on food and I will up it to make sure I burn the extra calories I'm eating. Well thats the plan anyway

I'm 5' 6'' and an apple shape, but my belly IS shrinking, thank god.

Oh thank you, I'm still learning all the jargon and how to use this site properly, I was thinking of trying that, but dont think I will now just in case. Good luck with the last few pounds, I have slowed right down and its hard, but we can do it. XX

thank you. I will stick with it, think I will find it too hard doing SS

thanks Now just another quick one...... I'm on SS+ and weight loss has slowed down over the last 2 days.. should I change to SS??? or stay on SS+

My brother-in-law has just joined cd and is paying 30p per packet less than me ( he buys a months...

You just reminded me that i've got paul's cd and book I'll go and dig it out and get some motivation. Thanks

I cant wait to get back into the 9's, been a few years since I was there. Well done

You have made me laugh for the first time in days x

I'm right there with you honey, It was all good and going well at the start, but now its all slowing down too much for me, I'm only on SS+ not even low enough to go on to food yet!!! but we MUST keep going

Hi I'm in the same boat, just starting my 4th wk and my weight loss has stopped, I've done soo well so far and feeling really unhappy at the mo. But I feel better reading what you have all said. I will keep going... I find somedays drinking 4lts water really hard going. Am I supposed to be...

Yipeee it appeared...... Now for the fashing sparkly stuff....I CAN DO THIS. Thats what I tell myself every morning when I drag myself out of bed and on to the scales.... Got a bit hooked on weighing myself

Feeling very tired today and a bit moody so I'm having a bit of trouble working all this tracker out and I'd love to have all the lovely sparkly and flashing names. I will get there....I hope:cry:

Thanks for the link, I'm trying to work it out

Hi I've lost 1st 5lbs so far and I'm thrilled to bits as I've tried all the other usual diets and struggled to loose a few pounds, I've got another 2st 5lbs to go and I'll be more than happy. I'm still trying to sort out my tracker, I'll get there I'm sure.

Hi all as you will guess I'm a new one, been on cd for 4 weeks today and have had my ups and downs, but struggling on, I soooo want that body I;ve been dreaming of. Been reading your posts for weeks and finally plucked up the courage to join you all. You've ALL inspired me soo much. Thank You
