I am from Chelmsford - just moved up North last year. When I am off this diet I am going to be sooo good at cutting right down on my bread - I alwatys have bread with everythign. Especially garlic bread!

I had a lumpy shake yesterday - made me gag YUCK

I have not had a chicken drummer for about 15 years lol Where is Essex are you?

lol cravings... yep, I know what you mean. Whenever i see something I am really tempted by I add it to my list. Once I am off this diet I can eat my way through the list! Strange the stuff I have on it though... Hard boiled egg!!! Battered sausage Bernard Matthews chicken drummers! Prawn...

Thanks Yuna / supastar - thought as much! I only ever weigh myself first thing in the morning so maybe I am not getting the real figures :eek:

As it says on the tin really. Is the general thinking that you would tend to be lighter 1st thing in the morning or last thing at night!? (or maybe mid - afternoon!) Thanks guys / gals

Linznel makes a good point. At times on this diet you will inevitably have moments when you may feel light-headed or a bit weak or perhaps just a bit depressed. I had one of them moments last night - started thinking about introducing a meal from breakfast this morning! I woke up this morning...

Stay strong Beth (I presume!?)... the first few days are really hard because your body is still expecting the same amount of calories per day it is used too. After say 3 or 4 days your body will then think that all its getting is the 800 kls or whatever and will adjust accordinly and begin...

Yeah Big Bosh I think it is very likley. I lost 8lb after my first two days (I know most is liquid etc but still!)

Hi Becky - is that for SS or SS+ you would expect 1 stone a month?

wow - I take my hat off to you. You are one determined cookie! Mmmm cookies...

Hmmm - just logged out and back in but still not letting me :( maybe it's 30 posts!

thanks a lot! (Oh, and sorry for hijacking your thread!)

lol maybe not! So, Liz, are you on your 10th week! Thats amazing.. I really dont think I could do that. 4 weeks SS then what happens after that?

May aswell hi-jack this thread rather than start another for a dumb question. Well here goes, when I try to click on my name, then view public profile, to add an avatar or change my profile it says that I do not have permission to view this page... have I done something wrong :(

I understand what you are saying. Thanks. As a sidenote however, I very much doubt I have EVER received such a vast amount of good nutrients in my body whether I have 3 or 4 a day.

It is the hardest thing in the world in my opinion. However, just sacrafice 1 week of your life to strictly follow the CD SS and you will be motivated on by the results. Put up with the pain and temptation. Allow your self nothing but water (and black tea / coffee) No Chicken, no diet coke, no...

When you say you have been struggling, do you mean struggling to stick to the diet?

I love hearing these positive notes.. well done and good luck!

Yeah thanks a lot girls, that is helpful. However, the way my day works out I am quite happy staying on the 3 a day. I have lost about a stone in the first week and feel full of energy and do not feel hungry. i will speak with my councillor to make sure they are happy with this.

Oh Ok... thanks.

I was wondering what damage chewing on celery would do... always loved that stuff. But it's not worth it even if it stops me getting to my goal by just one day!

I am just over 6ft. The reason I ask is that I have never seen anything that states that anyone over a certain height should be on 4 a day as opposed to 3.

It seems like there is a bit of debate as tow whether some taller people should be on 3 or 4 'meals' a day whilst SS. I have always been under the assumption that 3 is ideal but if necessary then it is OK to have 4. Can I have some impartial advice as to which is ideal for maximum weight...

Congratulations Bnc girl! Good feeling eh!?

What a good idea... thanks for explaining!

Good stuff bikini, I started last Sunday so am now just starting week 2. I thought day 4 was the hardest as you already think you have had a result by losing a fair bit but the trick is to soldier on through for a few more days then it becomes much easier. Good luck.

It says at the top of my screen that I have 2 new reputation comments - what does that mean please? Thanks

Oh by the way, as Summerof69 says it would be better to gradually reduce your calorie intake gradually between now and Friday before hitting SS. Dont get tempted into the massive last supper feast as it will take longer to get into ketosis.

I think that is a grey area to be honest. I think it gives you the option to have 4 a day if you find you are struggling on the 3 a day. Basically, i found it hard doing three a day and I dont think one extra a day would make a jot of difference. Just drink more water when you feel hungry...

Yeah, good luck mate. I am similar to you. 29 and from Glasgow. Last Sunday AM I weighed in at 17st 4 (However slightly taller than you at 6'1). This morning I am down to 16st 2. No idea what my BMI is though. I am exactly the same as you in so far as finding only having the 3 shakes a day...

So glad it is Monday morning (don't think I have evr said that before!). All weekend was tempted by the usual luxuries of curry, ice cream, beer etc. I stayed strong and am now on day 8 ss! I find the week quite easy as busy at work so should be fine... until Friday!

I am on my 6th day SS. Doing well so far sticking to the 3 shakes plus lots of water. Lost a lot of weight already. However, today I had my shake at 07:30 and went to work as normal. Went to put my Tetrapack in the fridge to chill but realised I left them at home! Argh. Have just tanked up on...

Has anyone evr thought about attending a WW course whilst secretly doing the CD SS ? Would love to see their faces when you step on them scales!

My wife is supporting. The main problem I find is that we do not sit down together to have our dinner anymore :(

Thanks everyone :)

Dont you find that your sense of smell gets much better... i can smell someones lunch a mile away lol

I dont actually have an official weigh in. My family have been involved in the CD for a long time and I have all the advice etc at my fingertips.

Hi Candy - how long do you plan on going SS? I am aiming for two weeks then see what happens from there!

Well done Camile - I love reading these success stories!

Hi boys & girls, I have been lurking behind the scenes of this forum for a short while now and am really happy to see a buzzing place where people encourage each other and offer help and support. A bit about me, Im 28, Male and live in Scotland. I have recently breached the 17st mark (17st...
