    Pregnancy and Slimming World

    Hi ladies. Can I join you lot? Ignore my tickers below as they need changing. I did CD last year an earlier this year but had to stop once I got my BFP. I immediately gained about 10lbs that week as I didn't follow the re-eating properly. Anyway I then discovered the other week I can do SW...

    Confused - SS or 810?

    My CDC won't let me stay on SS after one stone above a bmi of 25 but we've settled on 10lbs above it but she won't budge anymore Seems some peoples CDCs enforce this rule whereas others don't play by the rules

    Longley Farm cottage cheese

    Think I just made a fatal error I'm now doing 810 and for cottage cheese there are two options. I prefer to have the one with 5% fat but have less than more of the less than 2% fat stuff Just bought Longley Farm normal and been trying to find out if it is actually 5% or not but get the feeling...

    Soy sauce...

    My CDC says yes but I'm not so sure cause of the salt You can have garlic but we use garlic powder and lemongrass, Ginger, chillis are ok too (but I'd just use them to cook food and not actually eat them, not that you'd eat the lemongrass anyway)xx

    Lowering my goal....

    I've actually increased mine from 10 stone 4 to 11 stone. Main reason being 10 stone 4 on my CDCs scales would actually make me 9 stone 13 and my BMI would then be a bit too low for my preference. 11 stone 4 puts me at a BMI of 25 so I'm aiming for just under that, then see how I feel before...

    CD 810 Weekdays Off Weekends

    Anythings possible! But then again, no, that would not be CD! Many people remain in ketosis on 810 but you wouldn't if you weren't to do it on a weekend and follow a low calorie diet What makes you want to do 810 in a week and low cal at the weekend?

    Long term success

    Ditto and ditto On WW you can still eat brownies, crisps etc but in WW form and therefore your attitude to eating doesn't change at all. CD is a total retrain as you learn to reintroduce foods over time and learn what is best for you to maintain a lifetimes worth of healthy eating x

    I'm so excited for you chick. You're one of my inspirations on this site.,you've done so well Hope 810 works for you and you get used to the eating and eating what you can have. I'm really scared about 810. I think its cause you still have 3 products a day. (I've got to move to 810 once I'm...

    Serial sniffers

    Anyone a serial sniffer like me? When I did LT, and the cakes used to come round at work, I'd always ask to sniff the tray of delights. When I was making loads of baby food last week I was practically drooling into the pans as my nostrils hoovered up the delicious smells. I always ask to...

    Get off the scales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simple as You need to look at your weekly loss as the body fluctuates all the time. Don't read anything into what they are saying, just stay off them as much as possible ( I know it's hard, rofl) Xx

    It's still about 26lbs away but I'm being moved to 810 once I hit 12 stone I'm worried the food will make me hungry and just wondered if anyone managed to stay in ketosis while doing 810.

    I desperately need to tone now but can't exercise as I get far too dizzy far too quickly. ketosis is great for most people, and despite feeling fit and well, any physical exertion tips me over the edge. Any tips on how I can tone with little effort? I can't do powerplate (can't afford it)...

    Heartfelt apologies I was just voicing how I'd feel if it was her talking to me in that manner. I never meant to cause offence to anyone. Can we move on now please I'm still in shock they're comparing CD to the other diets!!
  170. chele80

    All I meant really was that she was coming across as condescending
  171. chele80

    What could i have to knock me out of ketosis?

    Only natural, but you know you need to look after yourself at that time, so the diet just has to go on hold and you need to be strong so you can get back on it when you feel up to it Xx

    Is there a comparison between cambridge and other VLCD

    As far as I know Lipotrim has the same composition as CD. You have 3 supplements a day just like CD and go into ketosis. Costwise, LT is the same as CD but is a lot more limited (1x soup, 3 x shakes, 2x bars and all of which taste horrible) plus you don't get the support. And you can only buy...
