Whats your diet like? Like a typical day? xx

Good luck on your journey Gemma :D I started on the tablets yesterday after gaining 5 stone in 12 months :eek: This seems like a great place for support so always remember to check in when its getting difficult! xx

ah thanks for the advice hun! didnt even register that marge/butter would have so much fat lol weight watcher/ready meals will be perfect for me as I work shifts which sends my eating patterns all over the place im also generally trying to cut down on dairy and caffeine so hopefully see some...

Hi :D I tried Cambridge for a while and Dukan etc but epically failed on all of them. Been to the docs after gaining 5 stone in a year and my last option suggested to me was Xenical! So here I am. Current weight: 18st 7lbs (Im 5'7) Ideal Weight: 11st Im not giving myself a deadline, just...

Hi girls. . . only just logged back in, really sorry. . . i totally abandoned the diet and have put even more weight on. But I know my problem is I had an awful year last year and I am going to put it out there, I know some may think omg you shouldnt post this on the internet, but the thing is...

good luck girls! :D xx

Wow well done Theresa, so pleased for you :D Xxx

well done gemz! same as me if my week 3 weigh in is similar, il be 19days in. :D sezzy u have to have 20 or 50 posts to have a pic i think xx

Thankyou for your positive comments girls, def the pick me up I needed! :) My CDC showed me today what a pound of fat looks like so x 9 was ergh! Lol xx

Im pleased its down but seeing some people lose like a stone in their first week. Guess I should stop comparing, another 5lbs will be a stone. Il give myself a slap round the face and cheer up lol xx

-4lb :( nowher near as good as it should be. I really dont understand x

Thankyou, tomorrow cant come quick enough! :) How are you getting on Anastazia? x

Wow thats fab! :) Do you feel diff? Clothes fitting better? Iv got my 2nd weigh in tomorrow, been super strict this week but feel a bit bloated. I dont get a period due to coming off the depo shot and it hasnt come back yet so I dont know if my body is just trying to adjust. You still on SS or...

Wow ur diary is def inspiring me! :) uv done so well hun :D xx

I had a word with myself after that grumpy post and went to the gym! Lol v true, I guess scales dont lie! I just think im a bit impatient but if i think of the losses so far, i wouldnt get that in a month with WW or SW. so I will take your advice and stick with it :D xx

wow you look fab theresa, check out your pins! Foxy lady lol xx

dont feel like iv lost a pound, none of my clothes feel any different and i went out today and forgot my shake so bought a packet of cooked chicken breast from M&S as thought id faint. was plain chicken and 180 calories on the packet? do you think this will have ruined my weigh in in 2 days? :(...

Cappucino is also yummy! Im not keen on the fruit flavour shakes, make my tummy feel icky lol x

Well had planned on 12 weeks to be good but I dont think Il manage that lol gonna see how I am feeling at week 4 and how much weight i have lost and decide then. Iv got 5 stone to go so may try stick it out longer if I can! x

I know, it's mad, thats something I am gonna need to sort out before I start eating again, defo a comfort eater. My weigh in is Wednesday too but my appointment is at 1.30pm. Hoping for a good loss! How long do you think you will SS for before you move up a plan? x

Good so far I think! Seem to be wishing the days away til next weigh in lol. Did nearly cave in after a row with my ex, even got to pulling up outside the Co op but I had a word with myself and drove straight home lol x

Ah well done for resisting! Doing really well :) Cant wait for the bars! xx

Hi Melissa. Wow Malaysia, thats cool :) Do you have a counsellor that you get your products from? Easiest way to get into ketosis is to stick to the plan 100% - no cheats, no added sugar anywhere etc. And make sure you are drinking lots of water - 2 litres a day is recommended, more if you can...

not sure really, you cant drink diet drinks such as diet coke, i think cos of the citric acid but may be worth checking with your CDC, they should know? You can have black tea / black coffee with sweeteners (tablets only not granulated) and fruit teas and green tea x

wow great progress, I need to take some photos to post on here I think, help to keep going! x

Love the hair, you look so much happier & confident, its great xxx

Hi Theresa, how has your day been? Busy busy? xx

Wow thats amazing, well done and thanks for the inspiration! :D xx

I must be the weirdo here, I LOVE toffee & walnut and ordered most of my packs for this week in that flavour and Choc Mint lol x

1994! Lol would be fantastic if you did get into it again! Iv got a pair of jeans in a 14 with the tags on still that I never managed to get into. And a lovely sparkly dress that just about goes up one thigh at the moment lol :argh:

have you got a "goal outfit" or something you are aiming to get into? I find that helps keep me motivated! x

Anyone uploaded pics of themselves on here yet? Iv put a few on my profile, its weird seeing yourself at so many diff sizes over the years! Cant wait to get a new photo in June of a small me! Haha xx

You will defo be into the 15's, good luck :D xx

Thats fab, keep at it :D Hope you are feeling a bit better hun? Great idea getting those trousers, everytime you feel like giving up - look at those and imagine how hot you're gonna look in them in the very near future! xx

Ah that sounds good, I really want to move from my job into Social Services but other than my current job I dont have qualifications for it, so looking at compacting my hours into 12hr shifts instead of 9 and trying to get one day a week where I can study either at college or home learning. I...

I live in Aldershot which is just on the border of Surrey/Hampshire. Im a call handler for Surrey Police, one of those lovely calm voices that say "Police, whats the emergency?" Haha, stressful job but quite rewarding. The shift work not so much for my waistline! What do you do for work? Today...

Woop well done :D xx

:( so sorry to hear that hun. try keep positive, remember food will not make u feel better! xxx

Iv struggled today but think its psychological after yesterday. I want this week to go fast! Lol. How was ur day hun? See u were working over my way, i work in guildford :) lovely surrey! Xx

Very true!! So glad I started a diary and got involved on here, I think without this I would have given up already. Really helps having so much support! xx

Well done for staying positive Theresa, a lb off is better than a lb on! :) Look forward to seeing your progress photos, you have done so well! So close to goal you can almost touch it! Haha xxx

Yeah bit weird. I had a think about it earlier & one logical guess could be she wrote 16.3 when it was meant to be 16.13? Cos then i would have lost five pounds. Altho i dont like knowing i was maybe 16.13! Heaviest of my life! Will plod along & see what happens :) xx

Yeah, Im gonna stick it out another 7 days and carry on as I have. . . No way I can put on weight is there?! Will keep you posted though, we have to stay positive right! :) xxx

Well. . . very disappointing actually Apparantly 5lbs up! Although my measurements have gone down 2 inches on my waist and bust, but up 1 on my hips?! WTF?! I can only assume that maybe I gained a few pounds after my weigh in as I didnt actually start the diet until 2 and a half days later. So...

Weigh in today! Though I was silly and forgot to buy enough shakes to have one this morning so been filling myself up with coffee and water so far! I don't feel like I have lost any weight at all but I guess this is only day 6 today so we will see. . . xx

Good luck tonight Theresa! My weigh in is in 2 hours! Eeek! Looking forward to seeing how you have got on this week :D xx

Ooh sounds lovely, I am looking forward to trying the bars out, Peanut sounds appealing, spesh with a hot choc shake :D xx

It is hard to get used to the water. I was fine every day up until yesterday and only managed about 2 litres and had a few coffees. But discovered the fruit green teas, amazing! Nice for a different taste and they are quite refreshing :) xx

Thanks hun, when is yours? I've just discovered Mango & Lychee Green Tea - Yum! x

Fingers crossed for you, keep at it hun! Hot choc is yummy xx

Thanks hun, nice to know Im not the only one! Weigh in tomorrow eeeeek. Yours are on Wednesdays too arent they? How long did you SS for? I really want to do the whole 12 weeks because I have so much to lose but I dont know if I will have that much willpower - only time will tell! x

Dinner looks delish! x

I find being on CD an easier plan because it takes you away from food completely for a while, I think it's easier to go off plan or cheat with other diets. But thats just me :) x

Wahey, good luck hun, keep us posted on how you are getting on! xx

Ah cant wait to try the bars, will be nice to bite / chew something! Have you tried the porridge? Any of them nice? Im doing the same - catching up on Eastenders and other random recorded bits and pieces :) I had a really awful dream the other night, which highlighted my food issues...

Ah good, thats a fab way to think of it - rumbling the fat away! I have only like the chilli one so far, all the shakes seem ok though. Having a good day, did a bit of window shopping to give me more motivation of the clothes Id like to be able to wear. And sat and had a black coffee whilst my...

Stomach is making all sorts of weird & wonderful noises today! Is this normal?! lol Veg soup - YUCK xx

We will indeed! Im on day 4, doing ok so far, only had one soup I dont like (vegetable, yuck!) but other than that seems all good! Iv got my first weigh in on Wednesday which will only be after 5 days on SS but hoping for a good loss still :D How about you? How long have you been on CD for? xx

Well done :D weekends are tough so thats a fab result! xx

I've chucked my scales out - am only going to rely on my CDC's scales, I've told myself by doing that I am less inclined to cheat because if I do, she will be able to tell and then I will feel bad! Once I hit my goal weight I will buy some more, in order to maintain :D Weird how diff things work...

Stay positive hun, just think how fab you are going to look in just a few months! Everytime you feel down or need some support come on here, everyone is amazing and it will help keep you focused :) I've got 5 and a half stone to lose, im on day 4 today! It will get easier xxx

With you there on the shoes, I have loads! Bought some gooorrrrgggeeeous Kurt Geiger shoes in the sales, but I feel a bit like a hippo on ice at the moment if i attempt to walk in them. Cant wait to be able to strut around haha x

Have enjoyed reading your diary, how is it eating proper food again?! Lol, Im dreading it in a way as I think I will start fretting about even half a pound! x

You look fab :D

Mmm choc mint shake for dinner, made it hot was sooooo nice 2 more days til my first weigh in. .. Fingers crossed I get good results, been resisting checking the scales at home

We all have similar amounts to lose and same starting weights! I got my first weigh in on Wednesday, only 5 days in but my CDC can only do Weds. Fingers crossed still a good loss! Look forward to keeping an eye on you girls toooooo, we will be skinny in no time :happy036:

Ah good luck scooterchick, you're right, we CAN do this !! xxx keep me posted with ur progress

Good idea :D Ah so glad we can have sweeteners, just had a lovely black coffee and the toffee & walnut shake for brekkie - that was delicious, hard to believe its a diet shake?! Lol. Tummy feels a bit flatter this morning :D

Belly rumbling today & horrible dry mouth. Getting sugar cravings & thinking of pick & mix aaarrrhgghhhhh :( Off to nap to distract me x

I am 5'7, starting weight was 16st3, hoping to get to 11stone, maybe even 10 and a half if I find the diet easy enough! :D

Iv got my eye on a Lipsy dress - also seem to be 2 sizes smaller than they say they are! :D

Thanks girls :) Had a mango shake for brekkie today, was refreshing! Have to say Im quite impressed with the flavours so far, when I did Lighter Life a few years ago it took all my strength not to gag and bring them back up! Still feeling positive Can we have sweeteners in coffee/tea? xx

Hiya, I started it today, similar weight to you though im a bit taller - 5'7 and 16st 3 :( Whats your goal weight? This forum is great for support and motivation, keep going :D xx

wow thats amazing willpower if you are surrounded by cake all day! lol we got this! :grouphugg:

So Day 1. . . Having a cappacino flavour shake with ice for brekkie - it's actually really yummy! Already drank 1 litre of water, 3 more to go at least! Did have a bit of a blowout yesterday, went to Harvester and it was amaaaaaazing but I think I overdid it on the carbs so probably going to...

Im always cold anyway, hopefully I wont notice any diff then! :confused: x

Thanks beanieboo, that would be fab! I did LighterLife a few years ago so I kind of know how I am going to be feeling but im much more positive this time round and determined to do it! My first weigh in will only be 5 days in from starting but hoping for a decent loss still :) Let me know how...

Id like to give it a go too - I start SS on Friday - got 5 and a half stone to lose so think 2stone will be achievable! :clap:

Thanks girls! :D Met my consultant today, such a fab lady, I left there feeling very positive and confident I will lose the weight! And wahoo, I actually managed to lose 4lbs this week before I saw her :p My consultant is only available on Wednesdays so my first weigh in will only be 5 days...

look fab :D x

Im starting on Friday, hoping to lose 5 and a half stone by June! Love this site, so much easier to cope with these diets when you have support on here - dont get as much at home cos they dont understand and always tell you you look fine or you are "big boned" :rolleyes: x

Hiya, to make the coffee one, do you add water to the coffee first or mix the coffee and shake together all in one go? I start CD on Friday and am trying to get everyones fab ideas together to help get through it :D x

I found a dress tucked away in my wardrobe today, size 12 and beautiful, can remember squeezing myself into it about 3 years ago - so I am going to use that as a goal as well! its so pretty <3

Hi Missy I will be keeping up with your progress as I start CD on Friday, dreading it but also really positive that it will work. Yay to slimmer us! Good luck xx

Hello All! Thought I would start my own diary, have been browsing this site for months debating whether or not I would give Cambridge a go - turns out you have all motivated me into making an appointment :D I have my first meeting on Wednesday, I will be starting it on Friday 1st Feb as I have...
