Sorry guys, haven't disappeared off the face of the earth I'm still here. I've now lost a stone in a month, including Christmas and new year. I am very proud of myself even if I say so myself . Christmas is the worst time to try to lose weight. I am absolutely sure that if I hadn't been...

Monica88 yours is realistic and is definitely achievable. If this is your first month on the diet though you could definitely predict higher. It's not my first month on the diet but my second. However ,I'm taking it more seriously so I know that I'll have a better weightloss.

If it was only one scone than you're doing great. I can't remember the exact analogy from other posts,but,this is my own. If you were building a house and had already got an architecture to plan it, paid for builders to build it. They had started on the foundations, built a whole wall and then...

I would love one or two too . How goes it work? Do we just post on threads like this or pm each other?

I'll go for 16 lbs just yo hive myself a challenge. I eill be weighed on Tuesday so I report back good luck to one and all. Let the games commence. By the way happy new year to everyone. This year will see a permanent end to the yo yo dieting suffered by me and many others.

Well tomorrow is here and I was very successful yesterday as l actually followed the plan and stuck only to the Cambridge food. I weighed myself this morning and the weight is coming off steadily. I know you're supposed to wait until your weigh in day but for me this motivates me to continue...

I'll join . Any motivation is very much needed.

You can do it Curvie. And imagine how you'll feel in February when you smash thst target. One day at a time and you'll get there.

Omg. I go off line for a bit and I see this many replies. This is what I love so much about mininins. Thank you all so much for your support and your kind words. Yes, I'm going to smash it! And, I yes to everyone who wants to be a buddy. I not going to promise to be perfect but I promise...

It's very late, or very early depending on how you look at it. But , I have set myself the target of starting a weight loss diary to give me some sort of accountability especially at this time of year. I will lose at least 4 stone in total (note my positive mental language here lol ) I started...

Green Day Today was an unexpected and strange day as work was closed due to snow so I had a lie in and got up really late. Breakfast - Nothing Lunch - Roasted Vegetables (red onions, courgettes, carrots, sweet peppers and garlic), feta (HEA), toasted cous cous and a drizzle of balsamic...

I lost 3lbs tonight so was really happy with that and have set a target of 2lbs for next week;wish me luck. :flirt2:

I absolutely love that poem. I think I will also take it to class on Tuesday. I am alo going to print it out, put it in my purse and on teh freezer door. Excellent. Thanks so much. It has taken me such a long time to come to this realisation but the crux of the poem is so true. I have...

I don't know about Phildelphia light but I know that 57g of Extra light is a HEA. HTH

Thank you very much. I am pretty happy about just need to focus on losing the rest of it.

Well I restarted CD after regaining, over a year, the 32 pounds I lost first time round. Would you believe it I lost .............................................................drum roll please ............(these full stops are for the drum rolls, please fill the gaps with your own sound...

That's exactly what I did drool lol! I don't want to put the weight back on either so I will be taking extra steps to ensure I that I continue to lose whatever I am doing.

Mine is on the Friday of the same week on the 7th. So your one must be on the Monday. I am going to eat on my birthday as I want it to be the beginning of my new and improved relationship with food. The focus is on not stuffing myself and making sure that I am sensible. I made myself a promise...

And I really mean it. :)

You look absolutely gorgeous. I just had to say wow as soon as I saw your pictures. Everyone is right you have beautiful eyes. In your first picture your beautiful, sparkly eyes were hidden behind a look of unhappiness, they seem to be really sparkling now. When all that weight has gone you are...

Lost 3lb so half way to October target I have lost another 3lbs this week. It is my birthday in three weeks and I plan to stop the diet completely in 2/3 weeks. I had a little chat with my CDC and we have decided that I should start ss+ this week and move on to 810 the week after. I think it...

Thanks very much I do feel very proud; I am on the road to sorting out quite a few life long challenges. I love your name by the way, made me laugh.

Just to add one very important product which is porridge, it tastes absolutely lovely IMHO and makes the diet a lot easier to stomach. HTH

Oh no, I would have been completely mortified;well done for taking it on the chin and passing the second time. How was the practical? It all seems so much closer now! This morning it was a distant concept now it seems so real. That's alright Oisin, happy to help.

It was alright. What helped me the most was a disk set that I bought with all practice questions an some example hazard perception videos. For the past three weeks I have worked through every category in the test e.g. road signs and made sure that I know the answer to every question. What is...

Count me in; I am already on an October challenge on the SS forum so I might as well join this one especially because I have created a ticker for the other challenge. Hedgemag 10lbs soontobelittlegem 14lbs Wizzbang 20lbs 02.11.08 - 6.5 (13.5 to go) Fizzy - 14lbs Bluegirl - 14lbs Redhead66...

Thanks everyone for sharing in my happiness. :D Haven't booked it yet but plan do do it in December; if I give myself enough time to learn all the necessary things I should be able to pass it first time.

To be honest in the first couple of weeks most peole lose more than the quoted average of 14 lbs a month so I have my fingers crossed for you to lose more than 7 lbs in 3 weeks. Good luck on your CD journey; you won't regret it. :party0011:

my car theory test today. I am so proud of myself especially because I also lost 5lbs on the diet yesterday; a good week all round. Celebrate good times, come on:D :party0019:

Thanks everyone:). If I meet my target weightloss for this month I will actually be <BMI 25 for my 30th birthday The main reason for starting this diet is that I didn't want to waste any more years being a fatty; I don't want to be fat and thirty.

Five pounds off my 16 pound target! Whoop, whoop; I was actually just expecting a 3lb loss this week so I am ecstatic that I managed to lose 5lbs here's to next week.:D

Cddietgal that is an excellent loss in a week; I will definitely trying to emulate something like that. Tara66 you are absolutely right my body is not a machien although I wish weightloss worked like that so I could calculate what I am going to lose! But you know what it woudl probably take...

That's what I did on my third week and had a lower loss! I went for a 30 minute walk 5 days in the week, may be I over did it. I really like taebo so I think what I might do is complete this week with no exercise and do 3 30 minute sessions of taebo for two weeks running to see if it has a...

Good idea, but I positively hate swimming as I am not very good at it. Thank you though;)

Sorry about the typos; long day.

I know we have rapid weight loss with this diet but I keep on seeing so many peole losing 4 or more lbs on a regular basis. What I want to know is do you regular do some form of exercise? I tried to do some extra exercise on my third week and ended up losing less than the other weeks. To be...

As has already been said, what is done is done. The most important thing is to pick yourself up and continue with all the good work you have already started. Use it as a learning experience and a permanent warning. Next time you feel like eating remember how you feel now, how disappointed you...

Check out my three trackers, from three different companies. I decided to join the October challenge today so I created a new tracker for that and just seemed to have caught the bug after that. As I couldn't find a tracker that showed every single thing I wanted I thought I might as well use a...

No I don't want to change colour as red is my favourite colour:).

Count me in! I would like to lose 16lbs, averaging 4lbs a week this month. Wish me luck! Good luck to everyone.

Well done Susan! You are an inspiration!:scale:

As soon as I get home from work I come and sit in the bedroom, switch on my laptop and start lurking on here, although today I feel rather chatty. Let me explain my strategy: my bedroom is the furthest room away from the kitchen so that stops me from constantly stepping in there. This week I...

I am so sorry to hear that! I know that I can be an emotional eater and have used food in the past to comfort myself in bad times. But, just remember that whatever the situation is, however bad you feel about this situation the fact that you want to lose weight is not going to change. If you...

well done and good luck for the rest.

Excellent work Susan! You must be so proud of yourself. It is amazing what you have achieved in such a short space of time. I hope that I can do the same. You are an inspiration:happy096:

I am so glad you are back! I'm generally a lurker and I started using the forum the same time you did and as I hadn't as yet started the diet I used to use your weight loss as thinspiration. I went on holiday, came back and noticed you had disappeared and wondered why you stopped when you were...

That is absolutely amazing:eek:. Well done, if you carry on this way you soon you would have lost all the weight by the end of next month. Good luck:D

I must say I had to use the dictionary to understand some of the words you used! But, well done you seem to be on the right track and certainly have achieved what you intended with your post; I am truly inspired. Good Luck:party0038:

Thank you all for your replies and encouragement. I really appreciate it.

Oh, also remembered that I am now no longer obese just fat (overweight for those with a sensitive disposition).

I can't believe it!!!!:party0038:After thinking that I was going to lose 3lb this week, if I was lucky, I actually ended up losing 5lb resulting in a total of 1st 2lbs lost in only 3 weeks. If you had told me this three weeks ago I would have called you loopy. I can't believe it:D. I have...

I spend most of my time lurking on this forum reading posts to keep my mind and my body out of the kitchen. I have read countless posts but I think that is by far the best. I also have been through some pretty horendous things in my life and just like you I fell that I have used food to fill a...

I think that is completely and absolutely, outrageous and wrong. What else are we doing this diet for but to lose weight? She might as well be a Sales Person because in my mind that is all she is doing if she is not at least weighing you. Don't settle for second best; you are paying just as much...

Glad to be of help Shadaca.

Thanks, I really appreciate the support.

I wasn't going to post until next week as I thought I woudl have to wait another week before I hit the under 12stone mark, but I managed to achieve it this week with a 6lb loss. I only have 3lbs to lose to be just be overweight and nor obese. This week has been very easy as I seem to be...

You can use sweetener tablets if you like it sweet. I have been told that you can only use the tablets and not the spoonable ones as they are derived from real sugar.

Susan, is that to do with losing the nutrients? I just took that long because it was so nice I wanted to last. Well if I am having a latte I warm the milk up in the microwave. I try to spread the 200ml out over two shakes, so 100mls is one and the other half later on in the day.

Well done, I am absolutley gobsmacked. I can't see your pics as I have not posted enough but as soon as I do I will be going straight to your profile pics. :eek:

0 my gosh I should really check for typos. I meant blender. Please excuse all the other mistakes.

I am also not eating any food either I am actually on the version of SS+ that means you drink 4 shakes plus 200ml of skimmed milk. The extra shakes does make a difference. Oh, I jushed finish my slushpupyesque toffee and walnut. I used my hand blanger to crush down some i added cube, added...

I don't think is chamomile is allowed as it is a flower ( i think anyway). Mint is allowed and I have started drining Dr. Stuart's Detox tea I know this is not a detox but I bought it ages ago, didn't try it until now but tried to yesterday and it was delish. The taste is non-existant when you...

Thanks, will do.

That's exactly what I thought; my scales are the ones that I will permanently use to manage my weight after this so I will not forget them completely. But i figure a loss on my scales shodul be a loss on her scales so I should lose the weight on Friday weigh in day.

Most definitely:D. I am so happy about the thought of being one stone lighter in 4 weeks. To be honest I ahev read most of the posts on this forum over the last couple of days. I actually bought some pysllium husk powder after reading your post aboyr porridge. The H&B lady said I was either...

I would love a buddy or two, or three, the more the merrier. I started on Saturday so this is my third day. It has been fine so far and I have spent endless hours on here and the cambridge diet forum. My CDC started me on SS+ as she says that through experience client seem to do a lot better...

Excellent work Susan :party0011:. I have been lurking on this forum for ages. I joined the forum round about the same time as you and was considering CD for ages. I feel like I personally know you as I have watched you move from week one, through week 3 when you were disappointed in your weight...
