Im still here, clinging to life LOL

Yeah im alright, Im there, Im doing it.

sadly Im having to supplement SS with last night i had 2 rounds of diet bacon grilled. I felt SOOOOO much better after that. mylegs were floppy and I coudnt stand, there was nothing else for it!

fairly sure im in ketosis, OH said my breath reeks and I feel brilliant today, full of beans, but last night I felt so shocking it was untrue.

Ive definatley lost weight tho, Im not measuring anything yet, but OH siad he can feel the difference on my hips and my bum looks smaller, but still a way to go.

If I get to the point where I cant take it any longer on ss , i thought about trying 790 instead, or converting to atkins, which I had done before and was really pleased with....

Saying that, Ive got my peppermint tea, im OK for now.

C&Q, what do you reckon to the soups? is there ANY way I can make them less watery. the flavour was OK ( reminded me a bit of vending machine soups lol) but I felt starvers afterwards.

Id like to amke them into muffins and stuff, but I dont have a microwave and right now I dont have the energy to go to tescos to buy one.

Lyn - the first three/four days can be very difficult if you didn't drop your carb intake for a few days beforehand!! Since you are on Day 3 you are nearly through the worst part!! Don't give up now!

You must not 'supplement' CD with anything else foodwise AT ALL!!

You won't lose large amounts of weight doing this - also worse when it is fatty food like bacon!! Concentrate your mind on the end result!!

It is very necessary to just grit your teeth and get on with it!!

Linda is away on holiday so she can't tell you all this!

For the soups make them with a little less water but you must make sure to increase your water intake the days that you do this.

Don't bother with the muffins - the mousse is worth making but you cannot have that until Week 3 anyway.

Yes it is possible that you may be better on the 790 Plan - provided you stick to it and don't add to the diet in any way!

You are so early on in the CD Plan it is too soon to give up yet!

I am on Day 23 and I have not cheated, not once!!

By the way - you must not have been to www.cambridgedieters.com for motivation and support? DJ is there!

It is an absolute MUST!!

And looking at the before and after photos - not models - folks from the site!! Folks whom have done it all with CD and nothing else.

It helps pass the time when otherwise you might drift to the kitchen ..........

I know. I did take youer advice and drop carbs before, no bread, rice, or carby veg at all for 3 days before hand... so I did try. But I suspect that literally living on carbs for 2 years has taken its toll. ( certainly on my backside !)

But Ive already had to take one day off work due to being unable to walk and Im not risking my welfare on it any more than I have to....

Didnt have any other protiens in the house apart from cheese which obv I wasnt going to go for! - my CDC said it was ok to have a tiny amount of protien if i was feeling very unwell, so i bought some healthy living bacon rounds, and grilled them.Id rather be able to function than lose 1 more lb to be truthful I only have 2 stone to lose and that would be the slimmest Id want to be so Im aiming more for 1.5 stone in total to lose.

My cdc told me this morning I should split and have 6 portions as opposed to 3 and i feel WAY better through doing this today. If only she'd told me this before, then i would probalby not have had to eat. She also reckons day 5 is the pits. thank god its on a weekend. I cant lose my job over this, it would be the worst thing ever.

Whats weird Is I dont fancy food, I just dont want to be hungry any more.

anyway, I think ive strung it out long enough now, think its time for lunch

Was that six half meals, or six whole ones? I used to split my packs. That really helped me.

I think most people struggle on day 3 or 4. You may find you are feeling great on day 5.

Do go over to cambridgedieters.com. It's a good site. You might even find a piccie of me on there

Glad you are feeling better today:j I wouldn't do the bacon rounds though;)
