time to increase the amount of food i think :)

quote : Adding boiling water to soups/shakes will make the vitamins deteriorate start. Let water cool slightly before adding to soup. ahh my cdc didnt say that :) good to know its odd cuase the soup coolsdown v quickly anway once i have added it - i wil try to make it less hot cheers :)

ad a little bit of excercise ? - walking helps bowel movements - along with the all the other things you seem to be doing

try the oriental chilli - add boiling water and pretty much eat it straight after - no lumps or bumps and tastes good :) ( stir it lots :) )

stick with it ...... what is totm ? ( sorry not familiar with abbrevs.)

a little too short for me- but if u have the confidence to wear it - G0 for it girl :)

have been started very gently by my gyn instructor - total novice to excercise so if i did too much id be put off - am goign to gym everyday : 10 mins walking 10 mins on cross trainer ,them 20 mins walking ( faster) and 20 mins on cross trainer :) - but your plan sounds like a good one - keep it...

dont give up ! keep at it - excercise might help speed up the loss ? keep going - as you will loose whatever you have achieved very quickly - try a higher plan ? then go back to SS

:0 you should not be disheartened - maybe try someexcerise i am on day 5 and have been in the gym for an hour a day - has helped increase the loss :)

my cdc has allowed me them in week 1 .............................. but i actually am not eatingthem - thought i could cope with 1 a day but am in day 5 and i hve nibbled only 3 out of the 7

i hav about 3 stone to loose but i am there to chat too

loads of rice forme ...... being indian - rice is major part of the diet and lotsof eating out with friends.................

i am having exactly the same problem - iam on day 4 now and have just started the most heaviest painful periods ever - tmi i know but i have used 5 thicks always pads from about 8 am till now. I am bad period pains too - thank god its a weekend

YOU ARE A STAR ! i want some pics :)

go on a bit of excercise can make u feel better - and this is from a total excercise phobe before this hahaha

Just had day 2 on SS and managed to do 1 hr of time in the gym - felt no after effects or at all tired i feel like i am eating lots even though its nothing - as the meals are well spreadout. i can feel me getting bored of flavors already mini goal: MUST COMPLETE WEEK 1 :)

ooohh cool something to ask my cdc for next week

see i dont like any of the other flavours ... so my choice is restricted - i mean i dont even like the sound of the banana shake

u have done well to get to this stage :) - i have spicy tomto lunch and oriental chilli dinner - what are the chocolate tera packs exactly ? - i saw them at cdc but i have no idea what they are ? what times are you eating these things - make sure lots of water :)

Just had my first shake on CDC - suprisingly tasted ok - I am gonna need ur support :) Come on the next meal :)

i have just baught - spicy tomato and oriental chilli flavours of cd soups- what are they like ? - what r ppl's fav soup flavours ?? :rolleyes: tomorow my first day of CD starts :)

i have been saying this a lot - but mycdc said hahah to do excercise as every little helps and she went further to say to do it from the start - gentle things - yoga or gentle walking on tredmill etc

mine was 7 quid - quite normal i think

my cdc recommended excercise from that the start - every little helps according to her - i am making sure its not too strenuous - walking and bit of cycling i think - gentle yoga classes ?maybe x

bad breath...... what fun - all worth it :)

it may have been the intake of solid food - have u tired doing just the drinks and soups - no solids ?

well done you - keep at it- I am about to start my journey on July 2nd - how did the last 4 days feel
