    Bumping .. and yes please! I will probably be in Liverpool over the weekend of Saturday 29th June '13 for a Rock Choir event at the Liverpool Arena - as will the gorgeous Isobel P - so hopefully it will coincide with that :)

    Cambridge Diet - Two shakes plus dukan style dinner (high protein - low carb)

    Hi Shelly First of all, many congratulations on your weightloss so far. You've done brilliantly! I think you may have misunderstood your Cambridge Consultant as we don't have any plans which recommend 2 of our products per day with just one evening meal. If you check out your Steps booklet...

    Carb differences in Packs!

    Hi there What she said is absolutely right by the way. In January 2011, what was originally known as The Cambridge Diet was rebranded as Cambridge Weight Plan to take account of the fact that we didn't want to be seen as just a diet, but a carefully devised set of weightloss steps from the...

    OUT OF DATE STOCK

    I wouldn't recommend consuming any products that are past their sell-by date. The composition may have changed and therefore they may have a different taste. If your bars were sold only two days before the BB date then I would contact your consultant to discuss an exchange or refund in this...

    Yes!

    I think that everyone has now had the opportunity to air their views and put their own points across as they see them. Please remember that above all else, this forum is primarily here to support each other in their weightloss journeys - however that journey is taken. Comments on this thread...

    3 CD bars a day only?

    It's perfectly OK to have 3 tetras per day if preferred to other liquid products (4 if a female over 5'8" tall or a man on Sole Source or anyone if on Sole Source Plus Option A). It's recommended to only have 1 bar per day to replace one of the liquid packs, but usually only after the first...

    Quorn sausages on ss +?

    As a moderator on this forum I also have to point out that Quorn sausages are not recommended as part of the plan due to their carb levels. Or at least that's always been the case to date. Mama21: can you please PM me with the person you spoke to at Head Office as this information would be...

    Achy legs?

    Hi there. It's hard for me to know exactly what's causing you to have achy legs or whether it has anything to do with the diet. It's possible that you may be experiencing cramps due to a reduction in sodium/salt in your body which can be remedied either by adding a bit of salt to your soups or...

    Birmingham Meet

    I've only ever stayed at Jury's Inn in Broad Street for Birmingham meets, and I know the Travelodge is just yards away from there. I'm a 'definite maybe' but also want to know whereabouts we'd be looking to spend the day/evening before deciding on where to stay.

    Has anyone SS'd with a BMI over 40?

    Thanks so much Mrs C. The new guidelines do state that anyone who's BMI of 40 or over should start on a higher plan although, as she says, there are some circumstances where SS or SS+ may be permitted. As for making more money, don't forget that the Step 2 plan is 3 packs plus one...

    Has anyone SS'd with a BMI over 40?

    Hi girls The current rules set by CWP head office stipulate that anyone with a BMI of 40 or over has to get their GPs approval before commencing on a SS program. Once approved, it would still be OK to SS on 3 packs per day (provided you are under 5'8") as long as the GP is able to confirm...

    SS+ additions

    I would be very wary of using your milk allowance on SS+ for a Starbucks skinny latte as there's no way of knowing exactly how much milk they use. All I can suggest is that you might give it a try (on the 'tall' version only) for a week and see if it affects your losses. It's also worth...

    Starlit_Cazza's advice is correct.

    Folic Acid while on the CD diet

    As far as I'm aware taking folic acid when you're trying to conceive is fine when you're doing Cambridge Weight Plan. Of course when you are pregnant, it's not advisable to do Cambridge at all. Good luck with both :)

    Why does CD provoke such negative reactions?

    My pleasure Cicerone :) I've printed it out and show it to any of my clients who find it difficult to know how to answer friends/family who criticise the diet. I think reading something like this article, which is written by an independent and well-respected nutritionist, says far more than...

    Why does CD provoke such negative reactions?

    I posted this link under the 'News' section last week. It's an article written by the nutritionist Amanda Ursell and appeared in The Times on 18.5.09. Do 'very low calorie' milkshake diets work, and are they safe? - Times Online You might like to print it out and show it to anyone who...

    How much does it cost you?

    On behalf of all CDCs, thank you for the lovely endorsement. I have to say though, by that token, my worth would have been far greater BEFORE I started CD than it is now ;) Of course I wouldn't have such a fab job now .. or been 8 stone lighter than before I began :D Good luck with your new...

    apple and cinnamon porridge... wowsers

    We got some sample sachets at the Cambridge conference last weekend. I think it's even better than the Original :)

    CD & WW doesn't work!

    You'll all get there - and sooner than you think as long as you stick to the plans. Emmie, have a good read of the Weightcare with Cambridge (yellow) booklet before you go to Spain (if you don't have it already, make sure you get one from your CDC) and take a look at the foods that are...

    She is .. and there is :D You'll love Liverpool CC! It's probably my fave city in the whole country. You'll be party-ing so much all the bad connotations will just fade away :cool:

    Congratulations Sharon (Summerskye)

    I'm still getting over the shock of being chosen as the first ever Cambridge Diet Maintainer of the Year, but am truly delighted too. Thanks for your lovely messages of congratulations and a specially big THANK YOU for all the support I've had from everyone on Minimins both whilst I was on my...

    Any news from SOTY

    I'm still playing catch-up here after not long getting back from the Conference - but thanks everyone for your lovely messages about my award :) This year's SOTY competition had a record number of entrants and I lost count of how many semi-finalists there were! It was narrowed down to 6...

    What do you weigh and whats your clothes size? Sorry if too personal

    I'm 5'6", 10 st 12 lbs, size 12 in most things but usually wear size 10 skirts if they're flared as I have a 26/27" waist :rolleyes:

    Cambridge Xmas Conference - 7 Days To Go :-)

    I remember nothing about mince pies. The big knickers, however, will live in the memory forever :D I know exactly who it was - and it definitely wasn't you ;) We'll miss you. You and your lovely mum must definitely try to go next year, but we'll make sure we have a drink to you both (and...

    Fab haircut Angela! You really do look stunning :)

    Cambridge Xmas Conference - 7 Days To Go :-)

    I'd rather wait and get a surprise on the night. Hopefully it will be a nice surprise rather than a 'turkey' :p

    Cambridge Xmas Conference - 7 Days To Go :-)

    Sorry to hear Jo won't be able to make it, Mike - but there will be plenty of people around to make sure you're not drinking alone ;) I'll keep my fingers crossed for your guy. I don't have any of my dieters in the SOTY competition this year - but keeping fingers crossed that will change next...

    Cambridge Xmas Conference - 7 Days To Go :-)

    It's mostly for CDCs (and their invited guests), although some dieters will be there too who have been short-listed for the various awards :)

    Of course we will! Cameras never lie ... unfortunately :rolleyes::)

    Is this the best eBay ad EVER? :-)

    I know! Just goes to show there really is one born every minute eh? :D

    Cambridge Xmas Conference - 7 Days To Go :-)

    You'll be more than welcome m'darlin! I'll be there with Ruth (my CDC/sponsor) on Friday night and will be staying on Sat night too of course. When do you expect to arrive? Text me if it's easier :)

    Is this the best eBay ad EVER? :-)

    I found this whilst browsing - it's hilarious! :D CRAPPY OLD ANTIQUE BOOK 2 NO GOOD SMELLS FALLING APART on eBay, also, Totally Bizarre, Weird Stuff, Everything Else (end time 01-Dec-08 03:00:00 GMT)

    Thanks Angela. Hope we'll see you there next year ... maybe on the podium as Slimmer of the Year? ;)

    X Factor

    Ahhh .. disappointed with the result tonight. IMO Diana should have gone, but I guess the demographics of the 'voting public' tend to favour the younger artists generally. And Britney was definitely miming all the way through. She is one of the worst lip-synchers in the business!! Bleurgh...

    The person below me game

    'tis true! And the thermal leggings too. I bought them for a trip to Prague last winter :) The person below me has a dog

    It's just occurred to me ... when did Britney Spears record "I love Rock 'n Roll"? Isn't that a Joan Jett song? :confused:

    In the immortal words of Shaggy "It wasn't me!" :D Yeah - I blamed the food too. Caused a chronic hangover the next day too :sign0137:

    X Factor

    "Funny" indeed .... not! ;) I've long said about the X Factor that 'it's all about the show' and nothing much to do with the talent. Those who will make it will make it regardless of whether they win or not :)

    Cambridge Xmas Conference - 7 Days To Go :-)

    We certainly did! I can't remember much about the conversation though. I blame Jennie who seemed to disappear at regular intervals and return with yet another couple of bottles of wine tucked under her arms *lol*

    X Factor

    Semi-final next week ... 4 acts .. hmm ... what's the betting each judge has one act left ;) Diana's on dodgy ground this week methinks. Cynical? Moi? :rolleyes:
