That's good about losing weight on feet mine are big anyway so doesn't help that they are fat too!

Yes very intriguing indeed. I've been looking at ones with diamonds all round too they are lovely! Definitely not in his budget tho lol. Feeling a lot better now, haven't lost anything since last weigh in tho (I know I know - not supposed to peek!) How long you got left to target? Can't see...

Ahhh yeh that's true too! Spending much less time in tescos and don't miss it one bit!

Well today.. Where do I begin!? Ok here's a start I felt like poo and less than halfway through my lunch (leek and potato soup-yuk!) I thought I was gonna puke so had to throw it away. So I was a meal and a half into the day. Met my man after work and he had bought me a chicken wrap. I just ate...

I spoke to soon, it's definitely reversed now haha!!

Yeh I don't mind tho coz I know he loves me whatever he's more bothered about the smoking than anything if I'm honest. Yeh had 2 weigh ins -9lb first week, then off for that next week but maintained, then -6lb yesterday :-) Thanks everyone for the ego massage it helps!!

That's awesome we'll done!

Haha so I wasn't the first to wonder! I structured my post really badly when I was referring to protein not being on the list I meant things like having a cheeky bit of steak or something! Oh gosh can you imagine if that was on the 'allowable fluids' list! Oh and that thread title is...

Lily if you're not a consultant already then I really think you should be!

Oh gosh you're so right. I've become soo relaxed and if I'm honest I think reading on here what people get away with doesn't help! First time I did it I was so scared of 'breaking' it that I was even nervous about certain forms of intimacy with my boyfriend (if you know what I'm saying, cringe)...

I'd like to go for 15lbs please as that's what I've lost in 3 weeks and I'm going to America for a week in feb which could be lethal! Be stronggggg....

Haha yeh after I posted it I thought damn there's possibly a lot of people married with kids who don't have the same luxury cursing me. But yes you are totally justified. I love it. Just a glass a day and sometimes not even that coz of my tetras. Brilliant :)

Thanks! Well chuffed! But still won't feel like I'm really anywhere til I break 15.2 which was my original start weigh first time doing Cambridge! But on a plus this is the first day so far I haven't felt hungry, so that ketosis must e kicking in! How you doing?

Just had 2nd weigh in, -6lbs! So I've now lost 1st 1lb! Yay!

The lack of washing up! I love it!!

Yeh that's how it's supposed to be isnt it! Means you're doing it right lol

Yeh I'm on 2-3 tetras a day and I have 3 litres a day. Didn't realise the extra glass was to be had with it tho. That's where I'm going wrong maybe! I thought maybe I was paying for being impatient while poaching my eggs the other day! Ha!

Oh look it did send. Seriously my phone needs to sort it's life out

Sorry my phones bein a **** and won't send my replies I've tried 3 times. Well done!!! You're getting there soooo quickly :-) My weigh in is tomorrow eeeek!

Well done! Getting there soooo quickly aren't you :-) My next is tomo eeeek

Well done!!! Does yours measure inches too? My next weight in is tomo eeek

I did it and still feel like $h!t but slightly less tho than before. Weigh in tomo as well! How you getting on?

Aren't we supposed to be experiencing the opposite effects!?

Feeling really really faint. Think it's the bad sleep I had last night but feeling massively nauseous and like ill pass out at any moment. Debating getting some protein to eat like chicken or something argh and it was all going so well!!!!

Well this is a disaster. I put 240ml water in my porridge instead of 140 - yuk!

Haha he sounds like a bit of a joker

Oh dear. Yeh I pretty much live in jeans when I'm not at work. At work I live on dresses coz they are the only thing that 'fit' (debatably) at the moment..! :/

Haha funny you say that my favourite jeans buckled under the friction today from my damn thighs!

Haha no it's cool! His is end of June so was thinking long weekend away, a city break somewhere hot. Then I can wear nice summer clothes and yes no cardigans!

Hey I've lost a stone and a half too!! We are on the same long old road! I've worked out that if I stick to it ill be at goal weight by bf's birthday so it's my goal to get there in time so I can treat him and feel really confident about myself whilst at it! X

Right this is my second go at Cambridge, I did great in 2011 and managed to put it all back on plus an extra stone and a half! I'm now edging back to my 2011 start weight (and to be honest wont feel as thought I'm getting anywhere until I pass that first milestone - 15st2!) I've seen from this...

Ohh that's good they aren't too noticeable then, coz being blonde it's not so simple to get laser is it. It's ok once we get this weight off, we will reverse the effects! How you getting on today? X

Sounds like pcos from what you're saying as pcos isn't actually cysts, it's just where the ovulation happens the follicle doesn't heal up on the ovary, thickening it. I'm pretty sure I've read that you shouldn't have the implant if you have pcos. Which is a shame because I had it in for 3 years...

To be honest if I were to ask for something from my gp it would be laser hair removal because my hirsutism bothers me the most. Really hoping that weight loss will reverse the effects of PCOS though and make the hairs fall out ... Wishful thinking!!!

Just seen this and remembered! Yay mint tea with Splenda tablets here I come :D

Ohhh I didn't realise u could ask for them if it was bad! Well mine is still full of fat so dunno yet how it's gonna look when it's empty... I'm guessing not nice!

Yep been super good this week glad I took that week off to wait til I was properly ready. Well done that's well impressive don't think I coulda done that! Didnt hav my veg today tho but I'm guessing that can't do any harm x

Ohh yeh tummy tuck is good idea. I was thinking arms and bum too though! Hmmm more research is in order I think

Day 5 restarting and I just remembered I have a George Foreman grill! Can't believe I hadn't thought to use it for my chicken breast. Yay no more rubbery dry chicken for my only real food of the day!

Also been doing same and I'm so angry with myself! I also have over 6 stone to lose (well, after some sneaky self weighing, 5 and a bit now - yay!) and even though I been cheating I still been losing. This makes it hard to stop picking. BUT imagine how much more we would be losing if we...

Well, today's my first full lazy day at home alone since I started the diet. And it's a bit harder when you're not all go go go coz you kinda wanna raid the fridge out of boredom! So, I've decided to pass the time giving myself a pedicure and just general pamper and I got thinking. Now is a...

Yes that's right it is for me. He's never shown any signs of not loving everythin about me. So I was 100% doing it for me. Was a bit of a surprise when he made that comment and was soooo annoying that it came just after I'd already started doing something about it! I know he'd support me but I...

Ahh why's that you not got any energy? Well I doubt our body knows whether it's before or after midnight, so I imagine that it should balance out! But better to have the water intake spread out evenly really. No well I hadn't seen much of him in week one, then I spent a lot of time with him...

That's amazing, well done!! Can't wait to be with you in the 13s - although by the time I'm there you'll hopefully be in the 11s ;) It's going good now thanks! Think maybe I wasn't ready first time round but now I so am. Also it is quite hard doing it in secret! I'm on day 4 again now so...

Well I'm back after a week off the bandwagon. And today has been good. But maybe that's coz I got proposed to over the weekend and as a result have a low appetite and a desire to be a beautiful slim blushing bride! Haha! Water hasn't gone great. I did the minimum 2.25l but should be aiming for...

Thank you!

Guys, I'm failing! I just keep falling at every hurdle. Don't think I'm in the right state of mine for this just can't seem to stop myself cheating this week. I didn't do this before what's up!? Think I'm out of ketosis and feel total poo :-(

Ahh I see, you mean business this time! That's great you did so well so you know you can definitely do it again. Last time I lost about 2 stone in around 6 weeks but went on holiday and kept meaning to restart, just never happened. Now I'm nearly 2 stone above my original starting weight first...

Thanks Lily you're a star! Black loose tea with mint and sweetener is my faaavourite I'm very excited about being able to have it again! :-)

I did CWP in 2010 and was allowed tablet sweeteners. My new CWP told me its not allowed. Is this a new thing? Or are we allowed them? Also can I put a few leaves of mint in my tea? This would make my day so much better! Sorry I did search for sweetener before I posted this but all these other...

Thank you! Definitely motivating to carry on. Oh I realised I made a mistake in this thread title by the way, turns out I have 6 stone to lose... Wine glass, that's funny! Yeh whizzing them up with ice cubes is great. How have you been getting on with your plan so far?

Haha yeh I'm trying to convince myself that I love it! My first weigh in was today and I lost 9 lbs so pretty happy with that. Good luck on Friday, be sure to let us know how you get on x

Chicken mostly! One meal I quite like is if you use half your egg allowance (1egg) plus half your cottage cheese allowance. Mix them up with some spring onions and black pepper and pop it in the oven in a ramekin. You get this nice quiche almost kinda thing and the nice cheesiness that I miss...

Hello! Good luck :-) I'm also on week one of ss+ and yes it's hard but not THAT hard! We can do this! Let me know if you wanna buddy up X

Have you tried the tetras? They are a lot easier to get down I find. Or if it's the transition from ss to ss+ that's making it difficult perhaps try making your veg allowance from salad leaves so you're less full? I suppose at least you're not having all your meals and wanting more! Good luck :-)

Good luck restarting! Hopefully having done it before will help you know where're pitfalls are. I have also just restarted last week on ss+ Be good to hear how you get on x

Why have I only just discovered this site?! Hello everyone! Today I had my first weigh in and lost 9lbs! In a week! Sooo chuffed :-) I'm in love with banana tetras and basically have been drinking water all morning and holding off my first shake until noon. Then I keep on guzzling and have...

Well done that's great progress!

This is precisely why I haven't told a soul. It's between me and my CDC! People want you to stay overweight, it makes them feel better about themselves! Just wait til you walk into your office in some new goal weight clothes and see what they say then! :-)
