    Hi dickoa

    Its not really expensive £25 per week = £3.57 per day, no breakfast or lunch to buy (or tea if you prefer your main meal at lunchtime). If you only need to lose 1/2 stone you could easily do that in 1 maybe 2 weeks.
    Started CS - 12 Jan 09 weighing 167 lbs
    Week 1 = -5lbs
    Week 2 = -1lb
    Week 3 = -2lbs
    Week 4 = +3lbs
    Week 5 = -5lbs :dance:

    im just worried that as soon as i come off it i will put it back on. how do you keep it off...also is there anything similar to cs thats cheaper x
  • Hi all!

    I am really trying to lose about 10lb and am thinking of trying CS. I'll have to order it online as there are no Rowlands pharmacies around here :rolleyes: . Anyhow I have a quick question.

    I am consistently hungry generally so am a bit worried that the shakes throughout the day just will not be enough and I'll end up eating loads of other things. The reason I'm always hungry is that I am a competitive runner so train 6 times a week running as well as 2 - 4 times either spin class or boxing etc. I'm also a dance instructor so dance 2 times a week at least.

    I'm in the process of training for a marathon so can't afford to be too washed out as I'm running lots. Do you guys feel hungry or lacking energy on this diet?

    Thanks!

  • I don't know about everyone else but I find that I feel like I have MORE energy than normal. The shakes seem to keep me going but don't forget there are the allowable snacks inbetween to nibble on.

  • Thanks for that - maybe I'll try them for a few days and see what happens. :cool:

    I weigh 154lb would like to be 140lb but would settle for anything less than 147lb.

  • Right, well I've just ordered a mixed week of shakes so I guess I will try as soon as it arrives :j

    I'll keep you posted.
