I would say, go by the old fashioned ones - but keep using them in future

I think I will go with the old fashioned ones too Peanut, more reliable I think!

My god what the heck is in those orange cd bars?! I'll apologise for this next part in advance as its a bit yuckie!

I ate one of the orange bars about 2hrs ago, popped to Makro & Tesco & as soon as I got home my bum exploded & has done about 4 times since! My stomach is still gurgling away, good job I'd made it home & to the loo is all I can say!

I stopped using the water flavourings because I thought it was that last time but obviously I was wrong & its the bars! I'll def not be having one unless I'm not leaving the house in future! Anyone else have this problem?

I'm still on track & on day 10! This is the longest I've managed in a hell of a long time - yey!

I did something a bit silly last night though & decided to take 2 crampex tablets instead of just the 1 I have been taking each night. For some stupid reason I thought because I had drank double the amount of water than I usually drink the crampex might not work & didn't want to risk getting the cramp again so I popped 2 of the crampex tablets & thought nothing of it. Anyway not long after I felt terrible, I went all flushed & had palpitations & I was getting myself in a right panic about it what wasn't heping at all so OH made me eat some chicken & salad because he thought it might have been the diet. Then I remembered I had taken 2 of the bloody tablets & if I remember rightly I thin those were some of the side effects the chemist told me about! I felt so stupid afterwards haha.

Anyway I am back on track today, not that I class a bit of chicken & salad falling off the wagon cos you can have that on one of the other plans can't you? So I've glugged almost 3l so far today & I will remember tonight to only take 1 of the blooming tablets & not 2! haha.

OM how long did you take the crampex for? Did you take one every night while you were on cd or have to stop after a while? I've misplaced the leaflet inside the box (binned more likely) so I can't check on there.

Michelle - go you day 10!!! Thats fab!

Are you still doing cd Peanut? I never have time to keep up with everyones threads these days.

This cappuccino shake is vile, its making me gag!

haven't done CD in months hun!

The time zooms past so fast these days, I remember you doing it to lose some weight before the wedding but then again the wedding seemed to creep up so quickly aswell didn't it!

I can't stomach this cappuccino one, it's going down the sink!

Well that cappuccino shake well & truely knocked me sick this afternoon. I actually vomitted after drinking it so ended up having chicken & some salad again for tea instead as I couldn't face a shake or soup at all. It's actually making me have that gagging feeling just thinking about it now which really isn't good. Tomorrow is a new day though so I'll be back on the usual choc mint & tom soup & no more experimenting for me!

All these flavours to chose from & I only like 2, actually 1 & the tomato soup is bearable just about but I think I'm going off that too, I have to be in the right mood for it. The bars give me such bad bottom problems its unbelievale so I'm staying clear of those too. This is exactly what I did on LT, ended up on choc shakes mixed with peppermint tea for the whole 4 months - how exciting!

Bloody crampex tablets & now the manky shake, wonder what it'll be next!

Off to bed now, I'm quite tired actually & getting a headache. Weigh day on Friday, wonder if I'll have lost anything this week, the scales didn't seem to have budged this morning!

I took one everynight when i was on CD and continued until i came off it, didnt have any side effects, but then i only took one tablet. Hope your feeling a bit better today.

Morning!

Thanks OM, I'll def only be taking 1 in future & prob do the same as you & take 1 each night just incase. I'm feeling much better today although I certainly won't be trying any other flavours just incase, the thought just turns my stomach.

1 litre of water down this morning, no shakes as of yet but I will, no more chicken & veg for me!

I don't see cdc until next week so I'll do my own weigh day tomorrow.

Michelle x

Yey, another 5lb down this week! I'll update ticker in a moment.

Weight loss will probably slow down now won't it. I'll be eating on Sunday as we are doing a surprise meal or bbq if its nice for my sister & her husbands anniversary. After eating the chicken & veg twice this week though I think I should be ok carrying on the next day after the meal, hopefully it'll be a bbq depending on weather & I can just stick to chicken & salad again & not be questioned too much why I'm not stuffing my face or not eating at all!

Right must go my son wants his breakfast.

5lb Michelle!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

I think sunday will be fine - just stick to protein and salad / veg and you should be ok - just avoid the carbs like the plague!!
OMG in two weeks you have lost almost a stone AND over 2 BMI points!!!!!!

You should be mighty pleased with yourself!

Well I've weighed myself this morning & I've gained 3lb - not surprising after what I ate yesterday. It was going well until I decided to have a couple of mini potatoes with the chicken salad & then chocolate muffin with cream - oops! Nevermind though, I'm back on cd this morning so hopefully that should be off by the end of the week.

The whole surprise thing went totally wrong as my sis & her hubby were delayed as all trains from london got stopped for hours & then the replacement train window smashed so they got delayed even more. In the end they traveled 12hrs & got home around midnight last night when they were supposed to be home in 3hrs for 4pm! We left them some salad & stuff ready on the plates & put them in the fridge & left the cards & flowers on the worktop for when they got home - what a nightmare ending to a nice break away they had!

Right must get going, need a wee!

Morning Michelle

Don't worry about that 3lbs gain hun it will be god and more by the next weigh in!

Have a lovely day.

xx

Hiya Julie!

I'm not worried about the gain in the slightest, I just feel it was a bit of a waste considering the whole surprise never worked out! Nevermind, it was nice to have a break from boring old shakes & like you said it should be gone if not more by Friday! I was surprised I had gained 3lb though, that was quite a bit for what i ate really wasn't it?

How are you? Are you still doing cd or changed to another diet?

Updated ticker.
