Welcome back - You have done brilliantly and must feel great. Won't be long before you banish that tum! Tansyx

Evenin' all, Just been reading all the posts and want to congratulate everyone on another successful day. I posted early this morning saying how worried I was about my observation of teaching - which I passed with flying colours :D Also had my 2nd WI and banished 5 glorious lbs. That's 12 lbs...

Absolutely fantastic. The very best of luck to you and, don't worry, you have done so brilliantly already, you WILL succeed. Take care and keep posting to let us know how you're doing. Tansyx

Georgie - I think you are a great woman. You were my first "encounter" here at minimins and you have always gone out of your way to support and encourage all of us when the going has got tough. Also the first to praise us when we have done well - however big or small the lbs we have lost. You...

What an inspiration you are! Have a great birthday and go out and live your dream. If you wanna teach then go for it - someone with your level of self motivation will be brilliant around kids. Well done - you should be mega proud of yourself. I've just completed week 2! Tansyx

Hiya BG - how wonderful that you have a man who loves you so much and wants to support you. Of course you must do what is right for you and, often, others can see us better than we can see ourselves. I think it's a great idea to do a diet together and I wish you all the luck in the world. I'm a...

Hiya Mags and Spooks and all who follow, Good (rainy) morning to you!!!!! I've got a teaching observation today and I'm very nervous about it. Hope my lesson passes muster! Also got my WI later - nervous about that too!lol Gawd - I'm such a worrier, gotta stop all that! I hope you all have a...

Fay - I'm so sorry that you had such an awful experience. What a total cow to do that to you. I bet you and everyone else on here is wonderful. I have to say that I have met some fantastic people on this forum and the fact that we don't fit into some stupid stereotyped image is other people's...

Awww - that is such a shame, he would have loved that more than going to his parents I'm sure. How romantic of you - He will love you for doing that anyway. Couldn't he go to his parents the following weekend or you change the booking to the following week - celebrate his birthday a bit later...

Who's organising it????? Have just looked up Henrys Bar and heres the link: Henry's Cafe Bar, 80 Piccadilly, London - London Bars - All in London Hope it's the right place. Please check this out though - it kinda put me off a bit though it is a year old review of the place: "Mice" A review...

Aww Lou, Sorry to hear you're down:sigh:. Just wanted to say hi and that I'm thinking of you Tansyx:)

Hiya, Thanks for the link - I've tried the website but can't find the bit where you put your details in! The link opens me up to something called "The Face". Your description sounds very interesting - can you point me in the right direction please?!lol Thanks Tx

Hiya plus, I think the rumour's true. I started CDing 2 weeks ago and my CDC told me the same! Luckily - I've only ever tasted it lactose free so don't have a comparison between the other one to make! Have you tried the toffee and walnut. mmmmmm yummmmeeeeeeee!lol Maybe she's got some stashed...

Hiya guys, Gosh - you are up and about and posting early! Chika - sounds like a good idea. I'm also on a teaching placement and college at the moment and you do get hungrier with the volume of work involved - all those blinkin lesson plans! I'm sure you will still be losing weight doing your...

Hiya Dennie and well done on your fantastic weightloss. I must admit to bein a bit jealous cos I stuck to SS totally and only lost 7lbs my first week (not that 1/2 a stone isn't summat to feel good about I know!). 2nd WI on Friday but I don't think I've lost that much this week. How the heck do...

Hiya - My CDC sold me some vegetable flavouring the first time I saw her (didn't know I could just buy boullion at a fraction of the cost till I came on here!lol) but told me I couldn't have the bars till the 3rd week to ensure that I was firmly in ketosis. I;m looking forward to having a good...

whoooooooooohoooooooooooooooo Andrea - that is fantastic news - you must be feeling wonderful and motivated to carry on. Many many congratulations on those lbs gone forever. Tansyx:D

I came up as 2.9 litres so must make sure that I drink 3 each day! TAnsyx

I'm a serial scale hopper too and my scales vary from me losing 8lbs to me staying the same as last weigh in to me actually having gained some! Really frustrating. I'm trying not to weigh myself anymore as it's confusing (easily done with me!lol;)) My weigh in is on a Friday afternoon at 4pm...

That is fantastic and really encouraging for us at the start of our journey. Of course it will be emotional but you must look bliddy FANDABIDOSI. Many many congratulations to you for sticking with it and I hope I have the same will power. Best wishes Tansyx

Saffy - just checked out your wedding photos.....you look gorgeous and I love that dress with the sexy front cut!!! When did you get married? I'm getting married in August and just hope I look as lovely as you do. You look really happy too - must've been a lovely day. Tansyx:)

I think you've done brilliantly so far. I'm in my 2nd week and strugging not to munch and you 've got all the way up to week 13. My stomach was rumbling sooooooo much last night I was convinced I was starving myself and needed food to make things better but thankfully I didn't cave. I'm so fed...

Hiya all and good morning to you, I'm feeling blinkin knackered today - haven't slept very well at all and have meetings all day! grrrrrrrrr Hope you all have a great day - speak laters Tansyx:)

Blackrose - the thing that keeps me coming back to this wonderful forum is the honesty and love and care. It means that when we have a wee blip - and that's what it is! - we can come on here and be supported and not judged. I applaud your honesty and know that you will get back on track just...

Just found this thread! I'd love to come if I may to meet all you lovely people who have supported me so far on this forum! Count me in (just hope I've managed to stick to the diet properly and have lost some weight by then!lol) Tansyx

Hiya Shaz - I've been thinking of you and wondering how you are doing. Just read up on the posts and am so glad that you have an appointment. It's gonna be really hard waiting for it to come round but I know you will be ok. Forget the bloody diet and just focus on relaxing and pampering...

HM - that story of the glittery pussy was hilarious! Thanks for posting Tansyx

Hiya Minty! Just wanted to wish you the best of luck on your new journey. It's easy to slip back into bad habits and before you know it you've gained weight. Whatever you do, don't have a downer on yourself. Pick yerself up, dust yerself off and start all over again. And DEF by your birthday...

Hi all, I'm into my second week of SSing. Start weight 14.6 and lost 7lbs in my first week. I thought it might be good to meet anyone in my area (Upper Norwood) for mutual support and encouragement. If we live close enough we could meet for a meal (hahahah joke)! I mean black coffee with...

Angel - that was hilarious!!! sorry - don't mean to be rude or aught but blimey girl, how much weight have you lost for your skirt to fall down!!!!! Take it in your stride. You've made my day! Well done on doing so well with your loss so far Tansyx:D

Morning everyone - you're all up and about early! My wee girl has just been taken to school and I'm hoping the rain stops before I have to go out at 9am! Huh - some chance lol I do hope everyone is well - have been inundated with college work and preparing for moderation/observation of teaching...

Morning all - sorry I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. Hope you are all well. I'm still managing to stick to SS and haven't cheated yet (apart from the bit of sweetcorn I sucked!lol) - the hunger pangs aren't so bad now thank gawd. I'm off to college so hope everyone has a fandabidosi...

Hiya all and sorry I'm so late in today - have been out all day. Have barely drunk anything (1 3/4 litres only!) Was at my mums and she had a buffet there for a family do - was soooooooo hard not to think I could just have a little nibble on some ham or fish but.....I didn't. Then the...

Hiya Shaz and huge hugs for you. It's so hard not to worry when you find a lump. It happened to me a couple of years ago and I went to docs. I got hospital appointment within a week and had the mamogram, ultrasound and guess what - although I'd sweated buckets, cried, worried myself sick - it...

You have done so fantastically well - no wonder he was gobsmacked! Well done you Tx

Nahhhhhh - has to be me having the last word today!lol Tx:)

I'm Tansy and I'm a minimins addict!!! Seriously - since finding this site just over a week ago I'm on it alllllll the time! My OH thinks I've left home and gone to live in cyberland! But... It's keeping me on the straight and narrow and the people on here are so kind, caring and just...

Aww Lou - I'm sure you will be ok. I'm the biggest worrier in the world and actually posted a similar thread this morning cos I've got my first WI at 4pm and am dreading not having lost any weight cos I still feel sooooooooooo fat. I'm sure we'll be celebrating later on though - however big or...

That is fantastic news - half a stone down already. Well done:D Tansyxxxx

Aww Helen, It sounds to me like HE has the big problem. You are doing something positive for yourself and it's making him feel insecure and defensive. Please try to ignore him and whatever you do, don't let him stop you continuing on the road you want to be on. You will do this mate - and we're...

Hiya and welcome, Things will even out I'm sure and remember - spring is just around the corner. I was really cold at the beginning but now (day 9) I'm doing ok. Stick with it and you will see great results. I can't say that I'm not still hungry at times but am trying to work out if it's...

:gen126:Just wanna send huge hugs everyone's way. For those feeling ill, fed up, stuffed up or just plain stuffed.......:grouphugg: Take care everyone - hour by hour and we'll succeed Tansyxx

Good luck with your first meeting. Hope it goes really well for you. Tansyx:)

Thanks for that - I guess I am just a worrier at heart. Fear of failure. I know that I am sticking to the diet 100 percent and that I'm obsessing! I am a serial scale hopper since I started this diet last Thursday - I never used to go near them before! I don't know what's wrong with me - I...

Hi all, I was wondering what the lowest weight loss was at day 9 of the CD. I've got my first WI today and, even though I've stuck totally to the plan of SSing, I don't think I'm gonna have much of a loss and I'm feeling a bit fed up about it. You might think this is preemptive but.....My CDs...

Love it!!!!!Lol:D:devilangel: ps - I got my bloke to read the booklet thingy while he was in front of me and made him understand the rules - Get in my way of doing this and you dieeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!lol good luck babe Tansyxxx

Aw mate - so sorry to hear you're feeling rough. Not surprising if you haven't had much kip. Might I suggest earplugs if you go to your mum's or perhaps letting your mind drift away to another planet (that's what I do when mine starts going on about food!) - are ALL mothers obsessed about food...

Morning all, Yeuch - I hate this time of day (unless I'm on the way to bed!) S-J - that picture is fantastic - it includes all of my faave colours. I echo Chikas question - do you sell your paintings cos I also really really love that one and the title hits something inside me. (is it pastels...

Nice to meet you Cool - It would be great for you and Louisa to do this journey together - you could keep each other going! Honestly though, it's so great that you are supporting her and I know she would also support you. My Other Half is really supportive of me and is waiting to see how I do...

Many congratulations to you on your loss - you must feel GREAT!!!!! Well done Tansyxx:D

Been in and asked loadsa questions. Thanks for your help Mike! Tansyx

Just chatted to my CDC - 1st time I've spoken to her for over a week cos she hasn't been getting my emails (strange!). Anyways - I've got my first WI at 4pm tomorrow afternoon and I'm nervous as hell!lol I did ask her about drinking cos I'm still struggling on the cold water front and...

I'm always lurking about on here - that's why my house is such a blinkin mess but...... This forum and you people are my inspiration Tansyx:D

The best of luck to you Rachel - I'm sure you will be very pleasantly surprised. Please let us know how you got on. Tansyx:)

Poor lass :tear_drop: - Hope it improves soon for you. Tansyx

That's brilliant Rayven - not sure I would have had the same willpower. Like HM says - please send some my way too!lol Tansy:)

Hiya vic, I'm new to all this too and there are loads of counsellors in my neck of the woods. What I did was email all of them and see what kind of responses I got back. Between their replies and their before and after pics and descriptions I picked one. It's always gonna be a risk and you...

What a great thread - all of em made me laugh especially yours allans! Here's one from me...... A bloke goes into the Job Centre in Liverpool and sees a card advertising for a Gynaecologist's Assistant. Interested he goes to learn more. 'Can you give me some more details about this?' he asks...

Hi all, Just checking in again for today....... I was really naughty and went back to bed at 10am for a couple of hours - am feeling well tired right now!!!! BG - great news that you've finished your essay at last, it must be a huge relief and what a complicated subject you're doing - what...

What a beautiful and honest post. I relate to so much that has been said and really appreciate that you all took the time to write out your personal experiences. It gives me hope that any one of us can do this. I'm gonna subscribe to this thread and read it in my darkest moments when I think...

Hiya everyone, HM - so sorry to hear that you are feeling rough - please take it easy today I'm feeling a bit better than I was last night when I posted my "wobbly" post!lol Honestly - I should take my own advice and wait for the feeling to move on before indulging it sometimes. I just felt...

Oh girls - thanks so much for your replies. I think I was having some kind of wobble late last night when I posted this. I weighed this morning with just a nightie on and the weight loss said 10lbs. HOWever....my WI is tomorrow evening and I'll have me jeans and tops on so bound not to look...

Hiya all, I'm on day 7 of the CD and have been watching your progress avidly. I'm overawed by everyone's' first weeks weightloss and really scared that I haven't lost much at all. My scales fluctuate so much sometimes saying as little loss as 3 lbs and then up to 8lbs. Depends what I'm...

Awww mate - you were one of the first to reply to my newbie post and encourage me and I hope I can do the same for you. You have achieved so so much and will always have these down times to deal with. You have got over them before and you will again. Just remember - feelings are transient -...

Blimey - people can be really horrid can't they. I've had lots of comments myself - mainly negative - it's dangerous, you'll never stick to it etc so now I tell people I'm on a wheat, potatoe and dairy free diet on my doctors advice. I know it's fibbing but I don't need the negativity in my...

Everyone - have just read through ALL these posts and theres' some spectacular weight loss going on. Just wanted to say a fantastic well done to all of you - hope my first weigh in on Friday is as successful!!!!! I'm on day 7 today and doing ok - water glugging is still difficult for me and...

Hiya - I've been into the chatroom a few times but there's never anyone in there. Do any of you use it or are there particular times that people go in? It would be really good to chat to some of you! Please let me know! Tansyx

Hiya Pretty and well done for starting your journey. I've been having really bad acidy heartburn too but don't know what to put mine down to. I'm on day 6 of the CD. I have not had one cold shake or soup cos I like hot things! Guess that's why I'm struggling with the cold water intake!lol Keep...

Welcome to you Alison - I'm a newbie too though it feels like I've been eating shakes and soups for years I'm only on day 6 !lol This is a great group - full of wonderful people all of whom are at various stages on the journey to better health and weight loss. Come in often and read the posts to...

:flowers: Very well done Tansyx

:sign0168::grouphugg::grouphugg::girlpower: For Hedgemag and Mrs Depp - Hope you're feeling happier soon. We're all with you Tansyx

Hiya Rade, It looks like you've already done so well - you've lost a fair bit! Not too far to go now so I definately think you;ll do it by April, if not sooner! I'm new to all this. Am on day 6 of my Cambridge Diet and need to lose about 4 1/2 stone to get to just under 10 stone. I'm also...

Porgeous - you SOOOOO deserve to treat yourself after all you have done. I'm saving up now so that I can treat myself after I've done this journey!lol Tansyx

Wow - everyone's doing so well so far and we're still only the first week into January. My first WI is on Friday so fingers crossed! Keep at it everyone and let's have a HUGE result for this January! Tansyxx:D

Hiya Ruthie, Please don't be too hard on yourself. I did Rosemary conley - paid the dues at the first class and never went back!!!!! Talk about feeling a failure! However, my weight has crept up and I felt so crap that I decided on the CD and am on day 6 now. Of course you will lose weight...

Awww Delli, so sorry you're not feeling so good. Hope that passes soon and you are feeling much better. I don't sleep well at the best of times and often watch the hours go by. It's so frustrating especially when you have loads to do the next day! With the assignments - cos I'm doing a...

hiya all and a wonderful good morning to you..... Just got my wee girlie off to school and the boys are at work so thought I'd sneak in here for a peek!lol Steve WL8S and BG - Best of luck with the weigh ins, I'm sure you will be great. Ronnie - I'm on day 6 also - is it getting easier for you...

Georgie that's great news - just after christmas too! I'm off to bed now so that Day 6 will come more quickly!!!lol See you all tomorrow and well done everyone for sticking with it today. Tansyx:)

Hiya again Claire, We posted at the same time I think!!!!! Vanilla in tea.......YUCK YUCK YUCK - my CDC mentioned it but I can't stand vanilla so no go for me. I just wondered about the skimmed milk cos I have heard that some have used it and not been kicked outta ketosis!lol Seems sooooooooo...

Hiya Claire, I DID tell a woman today about my being on the cambridge diet cos she said she wanted to lose weight but when I told her she said "OMG - I've heard about that diet, it's so dangerous - you should see a chinese herbalist for some acupuncture" It kind of dented my confidence a bit as...

Hi all and well done for hanging in there everyone. I did a kstick today and it was on the 2nd pink thing so up from yesterday. I'm still hungry though and it's not head hunger - my tummy's rumbling! About the green tea. I tried it and nearly upchucked - someone told me that they do it with a...

Peachy - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sorry but I don't know much about it, only that it needn't necessarily always have a bad outcome. My thoughts and prayers are with your friend. Tansyx

Hiya all, Well - what a day so far. Have barely drunk anything :( and, it was a colleagues birthday today so she brought cake and was insisting - along with everyone else that I had to have some. Honestly, they went on and on and on and it was sooooooo hard to resist it - but I did. People try...

Hiya, I'm Tansy - mother to 2 kids, 46 and getting married in August (30th). I'm trying to lose 4stone 6lbs and this is my first time using the cambridge diet. I've not always had a weight problem - it mainly started when I was hospitalised a few years ago with herniated discs and was stuck in...

I wish you the best of luck Laura - I'm sure you will do it and have a great time this Summer being slimmer and feeling fitter! I'm on Day 5 of CD and, believe me, if I can do it then anyone can cos my willpower sucks. It's these good folk on here who have kept me on the straight and narrow so...

Hiya all and hope you're all raring to go for another week's work!lol I'm off to work this morning - back after the christmas break and hope the kiddies don't drive me mad!!!!lol Day 5 for me and feeling quite positive today though it HAS only just started! Don't know how much water I'll be...

Hi all, Day 4 of CD for me and the stick went pinkish last night. However....I'm still sitting here feeling very hungry and thought that went away when ketosis hit.... My tummy's grumbling away and I wanna eat a pack of bikkies!lol Any ideas?:confused:

The people in here are FANTASTIC and honest so just keep coming in here for support. We're all on the same journey - some further on than others but we all identify with each other's feelings and there is a genuine caring and honesty here that is hard to find amongst other people. Good luck with...

Thank you SOOOO much for your lovely replies everyone. I felt like crying over the photos, now I feel like crying cos I'm so emotional over all the care and love coming from you. You don't know me but you seem to care about me and how I feel and that is such a strange feeling to me. I'M usually...

Hiya all, I was feeling so positive about being on day 4 and not cheating. I'm even in ketosis but.......... I got my other half to take some "before" photos of me a while ago in bra and pants and I am soooooooooooooooo fat. It really brings it home to me just how horrible I look even though OH...

Hiya Porgeous, You said you wanted honesty so here goes........ Firstly, I think you look fantastic and the dress is definately NOT too young for you - you look really young yourself ya know! Personally, I don't really like geometric prints they don't look good on me but you look good -...

Hiya RD - Wasn't the film good. I went to see it tonight as well and was salivating whilst watching all the other viewers munching popcorn, nachos, chocolate etc and me with me bliddy water. I think it's brilliant that you've completed a day. I've read several of your other posts and you have...

Oh - not done that much planning as yet. Have the invites here, have ordered the rings, posted the banns. This will be quite a small wedding - about 50 guests in all and complicated because my OH is German so some guests will be coming from Germany so have to sort out accommodation for them. My...

And looking sensational if I may say so. Was a great read and an inspiration to those just starting out on the CD journey like myself. Thanks for posting it. Tansyx:)

Hi all, I've just started the Cambridge diet and am on day 3! Got about 4 1/2 stone to lose and hope I can do it before then! Want to be a slim bride. Anyways - to introduce myself. I'm tansy and was widowed in 2002 (he was only 37 and died in a motorbike accident). I never thought I'd find...

Congrats to all of you on your success so far today. I've been out and about to the pictures and kept smelling food in town. Found it hard to resist the popcorn and nachos but I did. I have massive indigestion now but at least the headache from yesterday has gone! I love this site - so...

You look absolutely stunning Jodie - Well done and thanks for posting the pics. Happy new year to you Tansyx:)

Hi all - just saying hi and day 3 nearly over! However - this was my first day out of the house since I started this mad diet and it was sooooooooooo hard. Everywhere I went there were people eating food - smells, burger king, mackie.d's, chinese, indian omg so much food and so many smells...

Louisa - this is FANTASTIC. So many congrats to you for keeping it up for a week and I read how worried you were yesterday about your weigh in. Just shows that you CAN do it and you ARE an inspiration to all of us! Keep at it girl. Best wishes Tansyxx:)

Thanks Diva - I'm in Upper Norwood so not far from me at all!!!! Sharon and Laurence sound like such inspirational people - that's who we need around us. I, too, will be printing that out and reading it daily!lol Tansyx

Nearly finished day 2 but my head is so painful now - is this usual at day 2??? Someone said it will be worse tomorrow. I keep staring at the vegetable rack - am so hungry I think I will munch on raw blinkin garlic!lol Am drinking more than I thought I'd be able to but just feeling really...

All the very best for your first meeting. I'm sure it will go really well and you'll be raring to go Tansyx:)

Oh gawd - how pathetic am I!!!!!! My daughter just came into the kitchen and got some crisps and they all fell out of the cupboard onto the kitchen table. I nearly caved in - they look sooooooooooo good!!!!! She then sat there munching them and saying how lovely they are (she's ten and...

Going now.....Thanks for the reminder, time flies and you have to drink regularly or you end up having to do 8 pints in a couple of hours!lol:wave_cry::)

Hiya, I'd love to join the challenge but have only just started on CD - yesterday and, not having done this before, don't know what a realistic target to set myself would be! Any advice?! Cheers Tansyx:)

Oops! :cry:oops - don't quite have the hang of posting a pic in here!lol

The last word is mine! Yep - I have the last word!lol

Hang in there Hiya Claire, You are having a rotten time of it aren't you. Please hang in there - things WILL get better I'm sure of it. I also have 2 kids with disabilities and it's tough going but we always get through it don't we. Just look for the light at the end of the tunnel even though...

Hi all, I've been avidly reading loads of posts since joining this forum 3 days ago and starting my CD yesterday ! I notice that many of you have set goals for yourselves and wondered if you did that by yourselves or with the help of your counsellor? Any advice on goal setting. I've set my own...

Me too I've been reading my sister's lighterlife mags and they're quite inspiring but as I'm on the CD It might be worth me getting those. Have never seen one but will ask my CDC next week when I see her!

WOW! Wow - Pony, many many congratulations on your wedding. I'm excited but haven't made that many plans yet - tried a few dresses on but couldn't fit into them so got demoralised and decided to lose some weight first and THEN go for it. Mine will be a low key affair - just family and close...

Well done everyone Vicky - you are funny!!! made me laugh about the K fairy disappearing!lol I'm so enthused about this thread. Mostly - when people have a slip up, they can come on here and admit it and not be banished forever!!!!!lol You're all doing so great and I'm so so glad I found this...
