Well done on your lose!!!! congratulations!!! And well done for getting through the ups and (mostly)downs of the first week...i was lucky enough to be able to stomache most of the flavours..even the ones i didn't like were bearable so i can't imagine the troubles you have had...And you stuck...

hi all, I stopped smoking last september, then put on about 2stone. I stopped til march this year then started (very slowly at first, maybe one a day then two ect until i was back to being a smoker!) I thought that the weight i had put on would fall off as i was back smoking again. It didn't...

my kids are older - daughter 20 and expecting and doesn't live at home anymore and my son is 17 and in love with his xbox 360 - so no chance of me getting them interested in buying with me or sacrificing their birthdays for lol!! my step son has one but he doesnt live with us - only comes round...

this was sooooo bad when we moved in, they had stripped wallpaper but not completely, leaving clumps on the walls and then painted over it....obviously they werent decorators lol. the whole place plus gardens need doing but we are going slowly and steadily through it all bit by bit. am sure...

i need to carpet the front room, decorate the hallway, change bathroom to shower, new kitchen coming monday......don't think i am allowed one o:( will have to wait and see what i can do...i'm sure the kids dont mind no carpets..must be used to it by now, i havent had any since i moved last april...

my cdc said it should come out like angel delight, didnt want to take a chance incase i didnt like it, not for 4.00 a tub and a sachet wasted. i made the banana chips yesterday...not that great but i had to eat them...very difficult though, i dont know what i did wrong but they tasted salty not...

I would love one but its a bit too dear for me at the moment. my stepson has the wii but not the wii fit and he doesnt live with me so i cant pay for the wii fit bit and only use it when i can persuade him to bring it round...must be a way around this!!

maybe there is an opening there for someone to start something special to help people out? I would certainly think about going, my children are older so they dont need me around for as much, even if you could go for a week or two to get you in the swing of it! Not like a health farm or...

no ... that would involve eating yummy foods!! got a while to go before i am allowed that!!

i know what you mean..is's not an actual hunger is it? I would love to go to one of those places like 'the biggest loser' where every1 is doing the same thing together so that there are no temptations!! People just don't seem to realise, i don't think it's malicious just not thinking because...

thank you all so much. I am not sure what i did to make it all fall away, i just stuck to the diet to the letter - 3 shakes a day, 4 pints of water minimum and 'hey presto'. I was wondering if i had maybe got a food intolerance and if i was holding onto so much water and thats why it all fell...

i am not sure but i'm sure someone can tell you the official line on that but whatever you do, don't think 'oh well that's it then' and eat something else!! stick with it and if no-one else comes up with an answer I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

just used your link and joined, will complete rest of registration tommorow at work lol!! hope you get your credit from me joining x

sorry - jellybabie i am following the cambridge diet

thank you soo much for encouragement. I know it wont last forever at this speed, but hey - what a boost to start it off with!! and this site is so brilliant, it's so nice to read everyone else's highs and lows so you know what to expect and how they have dealt with the lows. and it's such...

thank you all so much, I am so thrilled about it, and more determind than ever to carry on with the programe.

well would you look at that it's done it!!!!!

well done to you too. I am not listening to what others say, the comments have mainly come from members of my family who are overweight themselves :o( do you know how to update my ticker? i have done it on the website but my signature just shows the same one without the weight loss?? thanks

Hi I am sooooo over the moon my first weigh in and i have lost 13lb:):):):):):) I can't remember my pin to change my ticker and i can't make a new one as i don't know how to remove the old one from my signature!!!! never mind, roll on week 2!!

cant seem to make it work properly but not too worry it will wait for another time!

not sure if this has worked but here goes

ok...so here I am on my first weigh day. I have been checking my weight every day, just to remind myself that this is all worth it but even so standing on the scales and knowing that today is the day that it counts has still blown me away. I can't wait to post this message and then up date my...

hi all does running up to the loo every 30-45 mins count as excersise??!!!! last night was the first night since i started the diet last week that i haven't woken up in the night needing the loo, hopefully that means my body is getting used to the amount of water i am drinking!!

well done on loosing a pound...remember we don't put our weight on all at once so we should not expect to loose it all at once...although wouldn't that be fantastic!!!! anyway well done on your weigh-in.

hi lynn what diet are you following? I am on day 6 of the cambridge so things are pretty new to me too. This site has been such a help, with ideas, answers to questions and most important of all, the encouragement you get is fantastic. Welcom aboard and good luck on your weight loss journey

have you got a plastic beaker with a lid? if not and if all else fails how about an empty water bottle? obviously it would have to be bigger than the amount of liquid you need for the shake? might not blend as well as you would hope but better than falling off the diet wagon? hope it works...

ok....so the banana chips are in front of me, thin and crispy but def lacking some thing....i think maybe it needs a sweetner, are we supposed to put one in and i just missed that bit or is my tooth just really sweet??? i am sure the oriental chilli ones will taste a lot better but i will have...

I am going to try the banana chips tonight as i dont have savory sachets. I hope they come out ok, this is day 6 of ss and it will just be so nice to bite/chew/crunch something!

I like the vanilla one wisked up really throthy then added to half cup of black coffee. I drink it relatively quickly then make another one to finish off the shake. Not quite a late but it's about as close as it gets on this diet!! good luck and try to keep with it

i had similar temptation in my house yesterday, my husband even told the children to say that the dinner wasn't very nice!! The smell was amazing though. I went and stood on the scales and reminded myself of why I am doing this!! Well done to you for your resistance of temptation!

thank you so much, I don't have to do it till tuesday but i am sooo excited!!

Hi I just wondered if anyone can tell me how i update my ticker to show my weigh in results? thanks jakki

my cdc recomends drinking more water!!

thanks for the support. I am doing great at the moment. Day 5 and things are settling down for me now. I still want to eat everything in sight, but not because I am hungry but because I think I should!! On weighing in today I believe I have lost a staggering 9lbs!!!!! I am sooooo totally...

I asked my cdc on friday and she said she has not been told that coke zero is off limits.

hi all mint chocolate shake if you like mint choc! yummy! and i really liked the toffee and walnut, more walnut than toffee though. you can tell i have a sweet tooth can't you? do you think that's maybe why i'm on the diet??? jakki

hi peach just read your last post.......................well done hun just the motivation it seems you needed!!!! jakki

hi GTpeach I'm just starting on the cambridge too. I am in the UK and I am loving(well, maybe that's a little strong, liking) the chocolate and mint sachets. And if you add a spoonfull of coffee granuals to the vanilla it doesnt taste too bad! 7lbs is 7lbs but I know what you're saying...

hi becky the cambridge diet is the one i am on. I didn't realise that it leads on to the low gi diet, i have books about that already - they were obviously on an offer that was too good to resist and i probably thought that i would like to do that diet!! however i have only just dug them out...

hi, i'm new to this diet and this site. I read last night from someones post that said we could have coke zero as it doesnt have citric acid in it. I have read the lable and it contains phosphoric acid... is this not the same? i would be really grateful if someone could let me know as my...

thank you so much, i went to the tutorials link and.............

hi i dont know if you can help me, i have just made a ticker at the ticker factory but i dont know how to add it to my post! Good job the sachets on cambridge are easy to open!! thanks jakki

Well, here i am on day 1. part of me is screaming to stop this now and go and eat something, but i am winning and sipping my water. I have a headache which isn't helping and my husband has just gone round the shops with the kids to get a sweet or ice cream:cry: i know that in the end this will...
