Good luck cazza.. I hate hospitals. my friend has suggested going to holland and barret and asking someone about the multivitamins and stuff. I had a friend who used homeopathic stuff and swore by it but I have no clue about all that. So I think going in for professional advice might be wise...

In response to prev posts about moans. I think this group is different from the others as the majority have a high bmi ( over 35) so have a lot to loose and have to be even stricter on themselves than normal people to reach goal. The eaters on the other threads maybe have less to loose and can...

:) today tho because my neighbour bought me some flowers to say thanks for taking her to hosp last week . Cheered me right up even tho the pollen will prob aggravate the sneezes!

Yes Lilly.. Half way thru the numbers.. But like you cazza- I'm full of cold so crawled into bed last night and having a duvet day today in the hope that tomorrow I feel better. My diet today will mostly consist of .. Paracetamol.. Nurofen plus a nasal spray a throat spray and some other little...

.. Also didn't tell u guys about the dog last week.. She managed to snag her leg and rip her leg open. Dog ambulance to vets 30 mile away stitches anaesthetic and £890 later she came home. The bit sticking out her leg is not bone just a drain. But now I'm on dog watch all week to stop her...

Totally get your frustration about "lighter" peeps.. I know I might be in that category as only really need to loose 3 stone but if I had money down I'd bet that you guys reach your goal before mine.. Sadly I am a repeat offender and saboteur who until I sort my brain out will continuously be in...

Just saw about the SS thread? I asked and got permission and joined but there is no one else posting on there. If someone wants to start a thread? It could avoid other people on threads accidentally mentioning forbidden food

BARING MY SOUL ..apologies for long post.. if you like to usually skip through threads you may not want to read . Soo.. I've got about 10 pages of all your posts to read as I have been AWOL for exactly one week. So il post this then go read. I have confession to make that after hardest weekend...

Anyone know if there are bad effects of having 3 shakes a day instead of 4? I've just had my third of day and want to go to bed I'm so tired. I'm only on 4 because I'm 5-10 in height. Tell me do I have to set my alarm for a shake at about 10?? ps am contacting support. As still can see others...

Advice needed.. Jeez. Yesterday evening was soo hard. Hardest yet!.. So the last two days I've woken in the morning really achey. Not usual pains for me. The aches are all around my lower back and thighs and hips. Is this normal? Does anyone else have this?

I'm doing beck in conjunction with cd waiting for kids to go bed so I can read it.. Stupidly I should have got it on my iPadiPad

Thinking when I get there I might mix my flavourings with sparkly water

It's very quiet on here..

I've been looking on the forum to get some hope from someone that it'll be better tomorrow..for now I'm flooding myself with water

Sabbylou I am day 4 and feel exactly the same!

I make shake like a coffee. Just powder in add 8 oz hot water and blend up I don't microwave

Wedding dieter did you have your cheat night? That may be why you are do hungry?

Tough day today hunger and headaches. Day 4. Just been for long walk with dogs and sat to have hot choc on sofa kids have gone to great grannies.. I'm still hungry and cravings are crazy.. Someone tell me itl get better :(

ps i also discovered today that im really not a fan of the shakes. so im going to attempt to have them hot.. the choc one as hot choc is lovely. the butterscoth one today not so much.. i have fruits of forest tomorro.. not sure i can brave it hot may have it with ice and just hold nose.. give me...

thanks everyone. im going to give it a miss for the moment.. and try and plan it in a few weeks when i can hopefully do well enough to get up the steps..

weighing in was the only thing that kept me on track..im planning maybe every 5 days as i know for me a week is too long a time to stay dedicated without the motivation

hello. everyone what have i missed?? age gap.. oo dating about 2 years.. bunk up buddy-- about 7 years scott.. :( thinking of you.. well done on the loss. and dont even give the slip up a second thought.. i have been reading becks diet book as i do this journey.. you might find it useful.. im an...

I've just got up to watch tv with early awake kids :( and eating my porridge.. Is it supposed to taste salty?

I did! Jesse Williams... Lush.. Was that the question?

I have kids gymnastics and kids party to go to. :( was hoping to rest up but hubby is ill

I'm day 2 and looking to loose 3 stone

Does anyone know what step you have to be on before you can do blood donation? I've had a message that stocks of my blood are low and they want people to come forward.. any thoughts anyone I can't get hold of my counsellor

Ooo I'm excited now :) I was excited yesterday as I realised I could put a Splenda pil in my black coffee :)

I have tried to make the beginning easier by buying lots of bottled water so that I can just grab and go. When the kids are back at school I can concentrate on me a bit more

Ps thanks for the congrats.. Am taking a bow.. :)

I'm getting funny dreams.. Thinking its the diet causing it tho.. so the bullion.. Are there different types? Do you have to buy low salt etc? I might order myself some as a treat after the weekend

End of day 2.. And looking forward to bed.. How's everyone else doing? I've nearly given in 4 times today but resisted it :)

I can cope with that :) I sat at table with kids today with my soup.. I don't want them to know I'm on a diet and looked at their food longingly but thought.. I'm not eating that so that I can be a better mum for them and be able to run about with them :)

What's bullion everybody?? I have just finished veggie soup- actually yum :) and now I'm used to the powdery kind of taste. I have had my choc shakes hot so far as I don't like milk shakes.. Has anyone tried the other flavours hot? Id like to tell everyone today that I'm proud of myself.. Day...

Does the obsession with wanting to eat go after the first few days?

I have 3/5 year old its stressing me out as they constantly waive food at me but going to stick it out.. I'm hoping it will get easier as I get less attached to food. And they restart school on tues and I can get out and go walking with dogs to distract. Myself at the moment I'm inside with food...

Chicly noops evertime I see your posts your name makes me think about the little battered bits of poultry that kids eat..and it makes me hungry!!!!!!! Lol can you tell I'm struggling today!

Wedding dieter . Not sure glasses of anything are allowed on hardcore. :(

Crazy diamond I hated sw as it made me focus on food all the time how much was in what and how much to eat.. I just became obsessed with what came next. I'm struggling with cd because of the absence of anything to physically eat but I'm trying my hardest

Slim2012 That is impressive , if I could manage that I'd be ok after a month! Gigi I have 3 stone to loose too.. But tbh I'd be happy with. Two off. I'm at my biggest ever now and my body isn't coping I'm covered in excema and I feel sick when eat so decided I needed to start the diet. my entire...

Hi Gigi yesterday was my first day too! I'm laying in bed this morning with headache and made my choc smoothie into a hot chocolate with hot water as I don't really like milkshakey drinks. Hoping to get going in an hour and start on all the water- my goodness I felt drowned yesterday! I usually...

Hi guys.. Just drinking my black coffee.. Again.. So I need to check. My water book says 2 1/2 litres per day but when I googled it- the calculation for my height is 3 1/2 what guide does everyone use.. ps my book also says I can use sweetner I have Splenda pills.. Haven't yet.. But should I? Do...

Hi I start today :) I'm over on another thread where we are trying to get teams together- we are all doing ss. Come over and join us :)

Does anyone know why you can't have water flavour for 2 weeks please?

My goal.. But shhh keep it quiet.. I've given myself till Xmas 13 to get to my goal and stay there as I'd like to add to our brood.. I had pcos and endometriosis before which has been made worse again by my weight gain. I've given myself until Xmas as by then my little boy will be on his way to...

Starlit cazza why did you swap back to cd from slim and s? damn it.. I ordered beck diet book off amazon.. Should have thought smart and got it as an ebook.. :(

Got the tape measure out tonight to do my stats.. Found the one out if Xmas cracker.. It only just measures round my bicep let along my waist hips or thighs!

Hopefull 2012 I start tomorrow.. Eek! Hubby bk to work mon. We returned from hols today so he is in charge of kids thu fri sat sun so hoping by time he starts work il be over the worst of the yuk feeling.. Last time I did ss I had such bad head I could barely see for 2 days. Sadly I am a carb...

I start tomorrow evening.. Travelling in morning so expect crazy posts to begin on Thursday/fri about chewing my own arm off

Can an experience cd er tell me why you can't do water flavourings in first two weeks? im going to avoid bars like crazy.. I am a once I start can't stop person and I'd eat them all I know it alalready wanted to ask.. What's anyone doing exercise wise? I'm not sure what to do. In past I've swum...

Hopeful2012 just saw your post .. You have similar stats to me and don't live miles away.. Maybe you could be my wingman? For the cd journey?

Once you loose the weight often your body still doesn't look much different as you have got used to the gradual change. What about exercise and making your next goal toning and tightening? That would make you look slimmer and give you a new focus.. Maybe spend some money on a personal trainer so...

I use the regular knowledge from ww etc in my daily diet.. Low fat spread, red milk etc but still I can't keep the weight down 2012 was my year for the gym. I went 2/3 times per week and in may completed the moonwalk marathon.. However I weigh more today than I ever have before ( except whilst...

Ps I'm not in Til Thursday as on hols ( did cd before for a few weeks earlier in yr tho. But not a hardcore returner) so by weekend I will be needing sane people to talk me down!

I'm in! I was part of a team on fb this year- a girl on there puts people into colours- aqua, amber etc and tries to put people together who are similar- so maybe you should structure it like that

My kids have set up my own sticker chart on fridge, next to theirs Every time I go to it for chocolate and resist I get a sticker:) ( i havent told them I'm on a diet as dont want little ones becoming obsessed with weight- so told them i need to not eat chocolate to keep my teeth looking...

Ps I've put this as I'm doing ss for only 3 weeks and worried what will happen when I have to go back to real world eating again

Hi I'm a newbie, am starting on Thursday.. Shock and nerves at the ready.. Does anyone on cd use ketostix as they go through the diet stages as they adapt or do you just trust it. I have a really unhealthy relationship with food, I'm hoping by stripping back and starting on bare ss I will be...
