Well done..
Well done Gem,
Thanks Jayne23...
As far as coping with the cold water...I now live in a collection of big thick jumpers (including in bed), and 2 T-shirts, which is helping big time with the CD coldness!
I find that if I set up 6 - 8 small (50cl) bottles of water in the fridge, I can drink them easier than a 2lt bottle...don't know why! I find it takes me ages to get down one large bottle. Where as the small bottles are a few good glugs and they are gone! So its seems easier to drink 3 of them by lunch time and repeat in the afternoon.
I then leave the empties by the sink, so I know where I am up to! Refill at bedtime and then back in the fridge for the next day!
Thats the theory...I'll see if it works again next week!

yeh real food!
Just found some receipes to use - i am so happy gonna make the crisp right now! - if anybody knows do you have to eat them within 15mins? thanks xx
Chocolate Muffin
1. Put a little BOILING WATER into a ramekin dish or microwavable mug (about 2 desert spoons to begin with you can add more later if needed).
2. Add the chocolate pack & mix to a thick paste. Put into the microwave on high for just under a minute – if it looks a little bit soggy in the middle, put it back in for about 10 seconds or so. Then enjoy.
This can be made with other flavour foodpacks as well. The caramel one turns into a syrup sponge type pudding and is particularly tasty.
A slightly different version of the muffin can be made by saving some of your nut Flapjack, add it to the mix & it tastes like a brownie. Or when making chocolate muffins add a couple of teaspoons of the raspberry powder or water flavourings to make a sweeter muffin.
Latte
Make up the vanilla pack as a hot shake; add a teaspoon of coffee & some tablet sweeteners to taste.
Ice cream
Put 11 ice cubes in a powerful liquidiser & crush the ice, add a sweet food pack – add a small amount of water, about 2 tbsp & liquidise for about 5 minutes. You may need to stir in between; you’ll end up with a nice bowl of ice cream.
Chicken stuffing
Mix as you would do for a chocolate muffin, but use a packet of chicken soup instead. Cook in microwave for about 1 and a half mins, depending on how dry you like it.
Chocolate bar
Mix chocolate pack with a bit of water until you have a thick paste, then spread onto some tin foil and freeze for an hour or more.
Mars bar - as for chocolate bar, but with half of vanilla and half of the chocolate. Milky bar - as for chocolate bar, but make just with vanilla –gorgeous. Caramac - as for chocolate bar, but make just with the caramel.
Black Forest Gateau mix.
10 ice cubes, chocolate pack, 8oz water & 1.5tsp of fruits of the forest flavouring. Blitz in a smoothie maker or try your blender.
Cheesecake smoothie
Vanilla pack, 10 ice cubes, 8oz water, 1tsp St. Clements flavouring & blitz in a smoothie maker or try your blender.
Chocolate Biscuit
Take sparkling water & mix with a chocolate pack& then add a pinch of salt, about 2 tbsp water, increase if needed to make thick paste. Put onto a small plate, rounded into a biscuit shape. Bake in the microwave for about 2.5 minutes.
Ice-lollies
Make up the fruit of the forest or St.Clements – a bit stronger than you’d normally make, as your taste dictates – put into lolly moulds and freeze.
Chicken crisps / Thai chilli
This recipe is even better if you use a Teflon mat, it’s a bit like a sheet of greaseproof paper but you can wipe it clean. Mix a packet of soup with about 2 tbs of water until you get a thick paste, spread the mixture on the mat or greaseproof paper in a circle, microwave for about 2 mins. It will go crispy, then you can break up into smaller crisp size pieces.
After eight chocolate treat
Add strong cold peppermint tea to chocolate mix, I prefer this as a thick paste like a mousse, but you could have it as a hot chocolate mint drink or cold. Yummy
Chocolate Fudge
1 packet of chocolate 1/4 cup of hot water 2 or more sweeteners canderel 1tsp of coffee (if you like) mix well – it should look like a thick chocolate soup. Microwave it for 2 mins. It comes out as a thick gooey mess, which tastes like fudge!
Chocolate Pudding and Chocolate Sauce
Microwave most of the choc pack like a muffin but keep some aside and mix into a thick paste whilst the muffin is cooking. Take muffin out and smear with thick choc goo and eat. It really does taste nice and cools the muffin down. This could be done with vanilla icing too
Chocolate Custard
Dissolve a sweetener in approx 70mls of hot water. Add a chocolate pack, microwave for approx 40 secs. Makes a lovely hot chocolate custard. A whole pack of this was a bit sickly for me though, so next time I used half the quantities and had it on top of a muffin.
Poppadoms
Mix a soup pack with a very small amount of water (about 5 dessert spoons), into a smooth paste, spread on a plate or greaseproof paper and microwave for about 2 mins. Let it settle, when golden take out let it cool then peel off and enjoy. Be careful to not overcook as this makes them taste slightly bitter.
Black Forest Cookie
Add 1 chocolate pack to sparkling water (3 tbs give or take) add fruits of the forest flavour (half teaspoon) put in the microwave for one minute (let it settle) and you have the fluffiest cookie

Hello everyone,
I collected my packs this afternoon and I start first thing tomorrow morning. I have done CD before, but not very well. This time I am very determined. It also helps that I am not part of a group so my willpower will not be tested by others telling me how they cheated.
Looking forward to seeing the pounds melt away.

Good morning everybody.
Well done with the losses. xx
My mum is back in hospital with pneumonia and heart failure. She has started to pick up a little but is on constant oxygen.
I am still not well and am going to the doctors again this afternoon to see what the heck is going on with me. I dont feel well enough to go to visit my mum this afternoon and I am so frightened of giving her this virus or whatever it is that I have. Its a nightmare.
Hold on for me girls, i will be back as soon as I can/

well done everyone. I've lost 3lb this week, I'm a bit disappointed cause I haven't cheated. I weighed myself on my scales this morning and then again when I got home from work before I went for offical weigh in, and I weighed 1 lb heavier I've drunk about 2.5 lt of water today before weigh in, could this be the reason.
