Awww shucks; I'm blushing!!! Thanks I really appreciate your comment. Maintenance has been awesome. I have adopted a low carb lifestyle which has helped me maintain my weight loss over the years. I am now a Cambridge consultant however I do come around once in a while to minimins to catch up on...

Oooopsssss! Wrong forum!!!!!!!:hide:

So hello people! How are you all getting along? Hope we're all shaking out the fat week by week? I've had a few slip ups, but it seems this week has come to stay:D day 3 and 100% so far. Yessss!:thankyouthankyou:

Good for you!:0clapper:

....interesting.....:D

Congrats on your 6 pound loss!:0icanfly:And all that within a week of step 2? Boy you are really lucky! I'm seriously considering switching to sole source for some days. I feel I'm a bit adapted on the step 2 routine so I think I'm brave enough to do sole source. I'm afraid I'm stalling big time...

Oh yes you can! As long as you are really certain its sugar free though; and you need to go really easy on it as in don't go guzzling a whole pack a day :D. I try to have just 2 sticks every other day and I stick to peppermint or spearmint varieties only.

I am starting today. I have had a Mac and cheese pack with a boiled egg and a few tablespoons of steamed cucumbers. I plan to have lots of water, tea, and gum between now and my next two shakes

Hi! I'm thinking of doing step 2 for a few weeks, I've never really used this step to lose weight before, only to stabilize after I lost weight a while back. I want to shift a few more pounds now but don't want to go all cold turkey on sole source. How are you taking your meals?

Did Cambridge few years back. Fully recommend it

Wowza!!! But why the marching order to lose that much in so little time? :eek:

Hello!!! Where is everyone? Hope you aren't all in the cookie jar? Silence is very suspicious!!! Please check in and let's see how we are all faring ok? :)

Over and over again it becomes clear to me that weight loss needs to be taken care of from the brain before any other body part can be expected to co-operate - and with any other part of the body that means the mouth, the tummy, the hands, the nose, the eyes and even the feet which take us all...

Thanks, E!!! I'm actually back in ketosis, the water weight is off and I'm melting pounds. I feel on top of the world at the moment, actually :D

Holiday over for me; so back to the business of reaching target....yet again. Thankfully I was in the zone throughout last week and dropped 5 kg; only to put back most of that (yeah water weight;)) while on holiday even though I tried to be good. Now to attack the fat yet again...

Weight loss is one thing; but weight maintenance is a totally different ball game. Such a roller coaster ride of constant fear of weight gain especially when you see a lot of people happily pack it all back on in much less time than it took to lose it. Besides very few people ever reach target...

Ok, so Cappuccino and banana is gross. As gross as it sounds; still wondering how Mango tastes any better?!?!?! So I'm taking the diet every day at a time, lol, Life could be a lot worse, innit? ;)

Meanwhile I had a mix of mango shake with Cappucino this morning with hot water, and wowwwwww!!!!!! It sure beats any latte I've ever had! It's a real keeper! I even had the rest of the mix for lunch!!! I think I will try mixing banana with Cappucino next hahahahahah!

The honest truth is weight loss and weight gain by the way, does not have a one size fits all solution. I usually avoid arguments that tend to go for one method or against another method for this very reason!

Hmmm in response to you, E, I think it's really a mix of different stuff of which genetics and metabolism have a strong role to play among other things like cultural and lifestyle influences from childhood to date . It's also probably one of the reasons why different diets have different...

I used to weigh almost 300 pounds. Now I weigh under 180 but my body seems to always remember the 300 pound life. Sigh!!! Seems I will always have to steer clear of sugar for good. And if I hear one more mention of lifestyle change I will have someone's head in place of a shake this afternoon...

Ok, I've confirmed that for me the higher calorie packs are serious no go areas and keto breakers!:upyours:otherwise how else do you explain hunger pangs the morning after spaghetti bolognese. And a peanut bar. It's my fault, right? Yah, I knew you'd say that:cool: Anywayssss pure shakes...

Almost exactly 2 weeks on sole source with no interruptions for me :) Woo hoo!!! And it's all thanks to you guys for keeping it real :D. Let's hear how you are faring guys; the key is to keep motivated!!! It's not an easy journey but it sure is doable.

Has anyone tried the new smoothie flavors yet? Unbelievably awesome!!! Try blended with ice cubes for an uber-delicious experience ;););)

That's the spirit 100%...All or nothing :D. Welcome!!!

:rainbow:.....I'm at the start again....making a change in me...this time I'm not alone.....you said you will help me break freeeeee......:rainbow: Cambridge really works wonders if you keep at it.;)

Finally in ketosis and sneak peek at the scale says I'm 3kg down. Whoot Whoot Whoot:banana_dancer: Pesky Glycogen out of the way; coz its time for the BIG boys to melt:cool:. Let's see if I can keep it up for the month of February and finally finally hit target :bunnydance:

Woohoo!!!:woohoo:

Well done Monica88!!! You see? You're there!!!:wee:I'm excited and motivated by you so maybe I should take up wedding planning as my next project heheheheheheh. Hoping to see if I can finally bring on the big "K" tomorrow #fingerscrossed

lol:D I'm with you E-cookie cupcake monster-:D on the anonymous factor heheheheh. I'm normally a private person - the kind of person who will mix shakes in an unbranded and non-see through bottle so that you don't need to know I'm on a shake-die; and scrunches up the empty pack into the teeniest...

Gosh!!!!I'm so jealous :D good luck guys and hope to join you in keto land soon!!! :D I'm trying to shift a stubborn stone or two ;) . Never really met my target so I'm inspired to get there and beyond :cool:

Getting on the wagon is really the toughest part :D much tougher than staying on actually. Why o why can't I just get on the @*&!!%$:mad: wagon??? :D

I've only ever turned ketostix sticks light pink by the way and I lost a ton of weight so yes, I'm with E on the ketosis thing not being the only weight loss factor, lol. Low calories from the packs and lots of water also matter a lot. It's however fun to at least see the sticks turn color...

Hmm, resolve on any weight loss is a big challenge for us all. That pizza sounds like something I could do (or did...I ate the toppings off a slice:oops:) lol!!! I particularly need to get my head seriously screwed back on right as I'm not progressing at all!:( I'm still taking everyday one...

Wow!!! Same here. I'm usually finding myself all layered up while in active ketosis. That's why I know I'm not in ketosis at the moment coz its frigging hot around here :D. New week resolution starting tomorrow:cool:: Achieve 100% sole source as much as I can. :D. I think I've pussied around...

I f I feel you on that, even though I haven't yet tasted the new savoury packs yet, lol. I know some people who wouldn't touch any cambridge product over 160 calories with a 10 ft pole while on sole source - that is bars and all savoury products - and I think it's really a matter of personal...

Hmmmmm, I'm liking that chewy bar idea. I will invest in some with my next supply :D. I used to really like all the soups myself; but now I can only manage the tomato basil and the odd oriental chilli once in a while. Have you tried the shakes hot? Especially for those cold periods? I love all...

Lolll!!! Atkins has some sweets that are very 'non-meaty' if I must say. I feel they are made up more of fat and sweeteners really and coated in chocolate but I don't care coz they are really tiny and they taste nice!!! Particularly when I'm in the mood to indulge my sweet tooth lol. Better that...

No, I haven't though I'm aware there are so many meal replacement products out there. I feel the products and water consumed on the Cambridge plan has a lot to do with managing our metabolism as well as providing us with nutritionally balanced low calorie meals so I don't want to upset whatever...

Ha ha! I feel you on that ;). I had bucket loads of discipline too back then . . .now I find myself saying maybe 1 won't hurt ....:D. Well I've kinda reminded myself the hard way that yes, one will and has hurt since you never really do stop at one ;) (ha ha ha) thank goodness I have enough...

....So!!! Shake roll call for today: Peanut crunch bar (bite me; either that or I won't be responsible for my actions and it will be ALL YOUR FAULT :D :P ), lovely smashingly ice cold banana shake; a tomato basil yum yum soup and my hot cross maple and pecan porridge for dinner. Or spag...

:DI really love your cookie monster icon, E... :D Nice touch :D...my kid is fascinated by it too

I couldn't have said it better myself!!! I've started and stopped so much this time around that I can't almost believe I did it at a stretch once upon a time practically effortlessly! What keeps me going is because deep down inside I know I can. So I find myself flexing it a bit - between sole...

Shake roll call for me today :D Chocolate laced with coffee this morning :D. I've lined up a mango shake and a tomato soup for later. My maple and pecan porridge will be the night meal for me today. I just read through that and it sounds like an odd mix of shakes for me today, ooooh!!!

Hi Confused123!!! Welcome on board. So how did day 1 go? Fill us in on your experience as well as your flavor preference being you are quite new to all this :D. How much weight do you need to lose?

I'm 5-10. How tall are you? Weekend almost over! Struggling to land it with minimal casualties to my sole source plan . Temptations everywhere!!! Why can't everyone around me also be on a diet? Would make it so much easier, sigh...

Lollll!!! Hi-5 to us tall ladies:D Sometimes I honestly think how cambridge would have been for me on only 3 sachets! I honestly respect people on 3 a day, really!!! Yes, I agree with that last meal thing. Last meal, plenty of water and off to bed :D. I'm struggling to get my mind in the zone...

Wow! I can just imagine!!! I think being fed up really is what will really drive us to fight the battle of the bulge...to keep fighting the battle too coz you never really win for good. And if you start feeling too relaxed and comfortable, then bam, bigger jeans are needed. And growing older...

Where is Monica88? Hope you are back on track? Come back and join the strugglers party here :0icanfly:

Heheheheh :D Thanks for helping me keep it real ;)...So today is day 2 and I'm sipping my strawberry shake (yummm) as I type. Already had a cup of coffee with skim milk this morning and I have a gazillion different flavor sachets in my bag to keep me on track. If I need to take an extra sachet...

Hmm, its always an added bonus to actually like and tolerate the stuff you need to take to lose weight, lol! I used to really love all the products - save a few ;). But now, they all taste so blah... Which is why I established a routine sort of. That way I approach the meals like medicine - i.e...

I'm having a hot chocolate mint shake this morning!:thankyouthankyou: I've found out my new favorites are: Chocolate mint, Cappucino (both must be very hot) oriental chilli and Maple n Pecan porridge. I also love interspacing with key lime and mango (both must be very cold). Basil soup also...

Well...correct me if I'm wrong but you are actually allowed to have one spaghetti sachet per day, the limit being only on the amount you can consume daily not weekly as the total calorie consumption for the day still falls below 700. However......having said that, I personally don't advocate...

Hi Metamorphosis!!! Whoo hoo!!! Keep it up with that day 8 record of yours and continue, ok? No distractions:D! How I wish I could get 8 days in straight. :( weekend slip up...so back to day 1 again on Monday. Again. Sigh.....

Hahahaha you bet I did something close to that :). I know I'm not supposed to have bars yet....but hey....better a Cambridge bar than falling off the wagon eh? So today is my Day 3.....and so far so good, its been a breeze so far. I had a delicious mango shake on ice in the morning and a hot...

Hey Marshma you can do it, ok? Don't be nervous, just be determined. Especially if you did it before. That means you already know what to expect; it also means you know your weaknesses so you need to prepare yourself for dealing with situations where your weakness will be tested. So welcome back...

:rolleyes:...It's not helping however when 'well meaning' folks keep dumping candy and stuff on my desk. :(. Sabotage I tell you. Thank goodness for Cambridge bars; I'm such a chocaholic!!!....well I used to be; now I simply crave those frigging lemon yoghurt bars. Gonna have to 'cheat' with one...

So today I've already had 2litres of water, a chocolate mint shake and a cappuccino shake. Its a cold day so I took them hot. I want to have a cup of coffee now with a bit of my milk allowance to stave away beginning hunger pangs of day 2 on sole source. Not looking forward to tomorrow, but it...

Hi enlightenme2 :) I think its quiet because people haven't really caught on that the site is back up. I guess it will liven up with time.

I'm also starting today!!! I want to do Sole Source Plus though, so I'm currently enjoying a cup of coffee with skimmed milk along with a cup of soup. It's my 2nd product for the day; and I'm looking forward to the next 2 :D. I've had 2 bottles of water already and a million bathroom breaks, The...

Hello Toks!!! Yes I am!!!

Its always a bit more tasking the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc time around; usually works best for me if I jump in feet first.

Hello everyone! I'm here too. I'm so glad minimins is back, I've really missed the site, lol. I lost over 50kg on Cambridge a while ago and this site was quite helpful. Now I'm a Cambridge consultant (yey!!!) and I'm here to both give and get support...I never did get to my target weight of 80...

Oh I will! I love the MiniMins support! So many times when temptations loom I just log on and read up and remember that there will always be another time to indulge, just not yet. It's all about planning, I look forward to planned treats once in a while. It makes it worth it. I'm happy I'm not...

....and I'm still losing! I'm at my lowest weight ever!!!!!! No more stat updates though, sorry!!! I'm currently a 10 up and a 12 down. But I prefer to wear 12 dresses. I've been off cambridge actively since May, however I resort to the sachets on step 4 or 5 whenever I'm not able to plan my...

I'm here again guys!!! Just to inform you that I will be representing my country at the 2014 Birmingham Cambridge Convention in a few days time. I'm the CWP slimmer of the year!!! Wish me luck guys while I compete with all the other slimmers of the year, lol!!! :). It's been rather a bit...

Wow! Thanks for the lovely comments, guys! I really appreciate this. I also need support and it's great to know we can all support each other. As I've realized, it's really all about the mind and the right mental attitude to accomplish anything you set out to do, the Cambridge weight plan is...

Oh, you will get there in no time, believe me. I will soon celebrate my 1yr anniversary since I started Cambridge at the end if the month, I'm still 86 kg ( I regularly fluctuate between 84 and 87). I'm a size 12 right now all the way from 26. My diet pattern is mostly low carb with green and...

Now my relationship with food is so much better; I've decided to go low-carb and it seems to be working so well for me. I've done a lot of research on the Atkins plan and other low carb weight plan variations and have discovered that low-carb diets can be a healthy lifelong maintenance plan for...

So I walk into a regular clothes store that I've been using ever since I've been able to wear normal clothes because my current 'semi-new' trusty size 16 skirt keeps slipping and showing my a** crack to the whole world at every opportunity (travails of weight loss :sigh:). I reach for a size...

Wow! I've been offline for a while, sorry for the late response! Yes at the stage I am currently I just have to keep up some sort of exercise routine. I'm a working mum of 3 so that is not as easy as it sounds! But I still try. I have a yoga class every Saturday morning and there's a gym on my...

Thanks Kiwi dearie!!! I'm really encouraged to hit target. I know I will!!!

I now weigh 86kg!!!:happy096:

Just like me! I've also restarted cwp but at a higher step. And my extra meal is strictly low carb and low calorie as I don't want to go over 1000 calories yet, and I love proteins :D. I've realized I'm highly carb sensitive from doing Atkins so I want to lay off sugar and carbs big time going...

In a way it does but in a way it doesn't. Let me explain, see, Cambridge is a plan that must be followed to the letter; it's not really a matter of choice. If you don't do the steps there's a high chance of undoing all the weight loss achieved on sole source. That's the part that puts me off...

At the beginning I tried to, I didn't last a week. It important to follow the steps to the letter; as our BMR is so low and we stand the risk of going straight into starvation mode when we come off cambridge. Anything outside the steps is likely to boomerang, I've learnt the hard way, but I'm...

Well my CDC is yet to see me as I've been AWOL for a while; lol. I will see her when I finally run out of shakes by weekend. I was moved to step 3 before I derailed from strictly following the steps and it rather went out of control hence the gain. It's rather annoying as I expected to at least...

Hi guys! I've been on the plan since late last year and I've lost a significant amount of weight already. I have a few kg left to reach target, but I seem to be stalling badly while moving up the steps. A recent 4kg water-weight gain (I hope) has put me rushing back to break the plateau and...

I love this topic! I'm a Cambridge loser; I've lost almost 50 kg on sole source and I'm currently looking to maintain as well as possibly lose a few more stubborn pounds. I've been introduced to Atkins as everyone swears it's great for maintenance especially after coming off a very restrictive...

Now on 87.7. Going down slowly but surely!

I Played hookey from my CC this week; I don't wanna weigh in till the scale shifts as I'm stalling big time. She doesn't wanna seem me anyways as she's shooing me off to maintenance stages, hehehehe:D, but I still wanna get to 80. And I will keep trying as that puts me in the upper end of normal...

i see what you mean Fay, it seems when we hit goal or a few pounds to goal, the brain suddenly goes all lazy and willpower shoots itself out the window; this diet that was so ridiculously easy for me a few weeks back has now become a big problem in concentration which I must address now! I...

Ha ha ha , nice visual @ Suzie :D Since I can relate with the clothes trying stuff. I'm currently a 14 from 26 and I constantly keep trying on all my old clothes especially when I'm in those nibble moments and I need a bit of inspiration and encouragement. And yes I also lie down to get some...

I'm thinking about a write up on my Cambridge experience on the request of my consultant. She wants to feature me as her loser of the year . By the time I reach goal I would have lost over 50 kg! That's more than a hundred pounds! She seems so excited about that. Even more excited than me...

Nice to see how everybody is keeping up! Well done! I've been on CWP sole source since August ending last year up till February when I was moved to step 2. Now with 8kg left to reach goal, I've moved back to sole source again and I hope I can keep it up as I've veered seriously off plan while on...

Thanks Liz hon, I appreciate the support. I'm here rocking my 89 kg body and some nosy neighbour tries to cramp my style by screaming at me to stop the diet immediately in full earshot . I'm so pissed, why can't people mind their bloody business! Since when did what I decide to do or not do...

Did something I vowed not to do this week i.e step on the scale till Saturday. Anyways, I stepped on the scale and got a pleasant surprise - 89kg. I could cry. It's an emotional moment for me, I can't type much right now. I will be hitting the Gym this evening in celebration! Cambridge rocks!!!

Serious reduction in my knee fat over hang issues, I'm brave enough to wear skinny jeans now, but not yet leggings I'm afraid. Guess that's where all the extra 10kg is hiding. Yes I've hit the big 90, clap for me. 10 kg to go to meet target, but 15 more to be considered normal Bmi, let's see how...

I have a sore throat.

I consider myself a very confident and self assured person especially where weight is never an issue. Powerful orator, hard ass negotiator and very intelligent with high I.Q. So why do I find myself checking out the next girl in the lift and wondering when I'll "ever look like that"? Now...

Another weigh in tomorrow, fingers crossed here. I actually put on 0.3 kg last Saturday thanks to the derailing I did, so let's see what tomorrow brings. Who else is craving a hotdog sausage without the bun

My CC says I should stick to 3 Cwp's with my protein and vegetable step 2 allowance and no bars. Well even if she didn't restrict me, I've noticed little or no weight loss when I use bars normally so I really restrict my use if them. Like travels or cinema treats - and just once a week. I'm...

I'm craving lemon yoghurt bars and this is simply coz I'm not allowed lemon yoghurt bars or any other bar for that matter on step 2. Bah. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Tell me about it!!! I even had hopes for spring, but at this rate I might have sabotaged that already. Heheheheh. Meanwhile, well done, you've done so so so well! You are so almost there!

Thanks guys, I really needed that slap on the wrist. Just think of all the HARD WORK I've done over the last few months; all of a sudden I'm so impatient to start "living my life" away from cambridge and their packaged powders and potions :D. What's a few more weeks, eh? I need a few lessons...

Thanks, luv...I do need a bit of tough luv here :D I'm a bit too overconfident and I need to get back in the weight loss groove fast. I tried experimenting just for the heck of it and look where that got me. I have a little over 2 stone left to lose. It must be lost!!!

I must be really carb sensitive. It's another wake up call. How many carbs and Kcals are in Pita bread and Shawarma sauce?

I've taken myself of step 2 and I'm back on SS. I guess its not yet time for me to chew stuff. I have the Shawarma boy's number on speed dial, and the dial has been spinning speedily I'm afraid. 1 shawarma too many and I'm up 1kg on the scale and miserable to boot. Who ever said Shawarma was...

Being a crowd pleaser. Are you a crowd pleaser? I used to be one, unfortunately. However, it doesn't really do any good for you. People are generally selfish anyway and don't really care that you are making such efforts. The tendency is to want to pull you down. What do people gain from doing...

I'm beginning to get those alarmed looks I spoke about earlier in my diary where people wonder whether one is ill or not, especially with the current new look. Also the random doubts at whether I can maintain this new look. Well for the first issue, as long as I know I'm not ill, I'm not gonna...

I'm officially flat chested. It's official. And guess what? I don't give a shizzle. #off to buy me some cute and sexy push up bra's :p

Speaking about compliments, its getting a bit embarrassing the number of double takes I get in the office these days ha ha ha. I've had to expand my come-back repertoire with handy quips: Eg, Wow you look different - "oh, must be my new hairstyle"; or, Have you lost weight? - "What do you...

I got a thumbs up from a random stranger in a big jeep at the zebra crossing this morning. U should have seen the mega blush and mighty big grin from molar to pre-molar on my face. I'm still grinning as I type this. It's nice to be appreciated. Even if its from a random stranger.

Looking forward to the big Nine-Oh!!!:bliss:

I remember a few posts back ;) when I was celebrating my "new-old" wardrobe. I'm here to revisit this with a sense of irony. You recall that the wardrobe referred to is practically 5 - 6 years old. The initial euphoria of being able to fit into said clothes has gradually worn off (all too soon)...

Wow! See how far we've all come. It's expected you know, the inevitable slow down as well as our reactions to it. But at the end of the day just see how much we've lost and how long it took. The next few weeks will be a breeze. Its more likely the weight stays off when it goes slowly anyway...

Hmmm, heard of Tony Ferguson? What's the 411 on this guy? Saw a blender bottle at the office today and scrutinized the fine-print; i.e Tony Ferguson. Who knows much about this guy/weightplan? #offtoseeDr.gooooogle:p

What spurs me on is the difference in me and how I feel when I look at a mirror. I've been updating my Facebook page too, coz I like what I see. The last pic there was from 2010, the beginning of the fat times. My face was just in between slim and sexy and fat; and that's where I left it at coz...

Will there ever be a time I will be able to incorporate peanuts and cashew nuts back into my diet? I'm missing my nuts soooo much. Thank goodness for peanut crunch bar, I indulge in a bar once in a while when I can't bear it. Remember I said I've ditched the bars as a regular part of my CWP...

I'm doing squats and I'm seeing a lot of difference in my thunder thighs! Squats really work! Unbelievable. But I'm not seeing much movement on the scale. However clothes seem to fit much better though. I'm now wearing all my trouser suits i bought a while back and feeling very chic with myself...

What does rep power mean?

sometimes, being pear shaped really sucks, y'know. I wish I could wear a mini skirt. Chunky thighs!!! Bah!

My CC advised me to start doing squats seriously from now on. I'm a 16 bottom. I feel like I have wings sticking out by my sides. Funny thing is the wings feel so empty, and soft. But they are there, and don't want to go. I guess that's where the remaining 19kg is lurking. I hate exercise. I...

Ok it's official. I have no clothes to wear. None. And tomorrow is Tuesday. What I have are either too big or too tight. I really hate being between sizes. I'm btw 18 and 16 now, and my hips are somewhere closer to 18 than any other size and it's so frustrating not being able to wear some stuff...

Hmmm, nosy neighbors! I'm a bit of a private person offline (seriously). So when a neighbor comes around peddling size 20 clothes, she gets a bit more than she bargained for. She's a size 20 thereabouts but she feels since she's petite she looks better than me. Ah well. So she gushes "I was sent...

Last weigh in before Christmas:rolleyes: and now I weigh 104.4kg. I'm traveling next week and I have achieved a few personal goals (ahem scroll back to page 1:D ). i can now: 1. Fit comfortably in an airplane seat with room to spare 2. Wear most of my old wardrobe fairly comfortably and a few...

If I were you Doddles, I'd rather give em out. Back of cupboards are so accessible on cold lonely blue nights, you see. Hope you don't find out the hard way! Get rid of em quick! :D Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Wow!!! 5Ibs!!! Congrats, girl!!! welldone. As for me, I'm coping with a new set of issues here, people's reaction to my new look! Seems people are happier when you are fat, than when you start looking better. Aside from that, I'm still waxing strong on Cambridge!!!

Ok, back to work, you layabout!!! :D

Someone just now hit me with a direct "you look like you've lost weight!!!". It caught me off-guard, I didn't know what to say. I found myself saying, "its work stress that's making me lose weight". She says no, its not stress, you are on a diet!!!. I say, ok, diet and work stress. She just...

I met up with a colleague at work during lunch hour, she was warming a sumptuous platter of "food". Don't wanna go into details of it, all I saw anyway was carbs, oil and more carbs :D. Anyway, I was with my trusty blender bottle and a pack of choco mint :P. She says "oh, you are here for your...

My last comment made me chuckle :D At BMI 34 I'm the only lean one!!! We must all be a bunch of lardies heh heh heh :D

....And now the comments start!!!! I remember not quite too long ago, a few pages back ;) I couldn't wait for the comments. Now that I am beginning to get the odd double take from casual aquaintances, it hits me with mixed feelings. I am overly on the defensive and making excuses!!! WTF...

Thanks Fay :D. Personally I think the real test of Cambridge is the maintenance. I know too many people for comfort who pile on the pounds in less than a year after cambridge unfortunately. Just finished chatting with one of them incidentally; he's pining like hell for the sachets once more as...

My hips! My hips! All I want is for them to melt away into oblivion!!! I've joined the flat chested club lol!!! Size 42f now a 38c and loving it....:party0049::party0049::party0049:

Hi Fay!!! Well, I wish I had your BMI :D ha ha ha!!! Being Obese is actually all the motivation I need, really. Its embarrasing enough always being the biggest anywhere, so finding something that works (though costs a fortune by the way:sigh:) is so priceless! Its one thing to want to lose...

Eat anything without carbs, and ensure its very little in quantity :D but ditch the alcohol and stick to coke zero. Its risky eating food prepared for taste quality and not with low calorie/carbs in mind (y). How are you doing!

Wow!!! This is awesome!!! You are almost there, Fay!!! What I would do to leave the 30-ish BMI range!!! I'm going to stay glued here and draw some much needed inspiration from you and your wife! You go!!!!

I've been wondering how people still believe Cambridge sachets are some sort of magic potion or elixir of life or something; I met an old pal of mine the other day. After she spent the next few minutes fawning over my looks she now asks the inevitable question - how are you doing it? Ok, so I...

The suit was a bit snug in the hips and could barely zip up, but had lovely flared legs and was long enough for my 5ft 10 frame, and can cover my high heels beautifully. Its not everyday you see such long pants, so its a keeper. My chunky thighs by the way, aren't 'keepers' though, so I'm...

I went out and happily splurged on a size 16 pant suit. Whaaaat? I can dream, can't I? well that suit cost a fortune, so I better be wearing it sometime soon :D

Thanks, Angel. It's a bit reassuring that one isn't completely detached from the 'real' world; the world with no barriers to food heh heh, where food isn't always in satchets, lol!!!

Surprisingly, though, here I am on day 4 (sorry, not 3 as said up there) and the hunger pangs never actually came. I guess I must be doing something right! On my 1 week break, I indulged in protein, vegetables and minimal fats. Carbs were a strict no-no, but I had a few when I couldn't take my...

Let me confess...I'm outta courage to tackle the scale yet, so Saturday is scheduled weigh in, after I lmust have lost all the pesky 'glycogen water-weight' :D. I don't wanna unnecessarily depress myself with fluctuating figures, lol

Alrrrrrrrright-y!!! I'm back!!! Day 3 on sole-source 'post 12 week break - 1 week splurge' and I'm already back in the zone!!! Yippeeeeeee!!!!

I shovelled another batch of spoilt food from the fridge last night. I'm highly embarrassed and mortified when I think of how "empty" my fridge used to "be" a few months back. Empty because I'm the one emptying it! I'm the one eating all the food in the house! Shameful! Cambridge makes you see...

Now I have 2 beautiful daughters who I'm really concerned about. I don't want them to have the wrong idea about eating and dieting as they are taking keen interest in mummy and her "cam-breedge" :D, however, having said that, I also don't want to make the same mistake my mom made by forcing me...

Shoes and bags are simply divine and they don't mind if you put on a few pounds. They really are very forgiving. I'm a bagaholic and the only reason I'm not a shoeaholic is due to shoe size limitations, lol! I'm a 13 w. And the w is verrrrry important :p

Busy wardrobe sorting. My sentimental side has paid off. I don't throw clothes away and I have clothes from size 14 to 24 in my backyard store. Since I've vowed not to buy clothes till target is reached, I'm having a nice time playing dress up with my kids ha ha. I'm sorting clothes out for...

It's the little things that make it count.

I have slowed down on my posting as the diet has become real and sort of everyday-ish. And since I don't cheat or do anything anti-cambridge it seems a bit boring, unless I'm mistaken, please stop me if you think I should go on regularly...

Been offline for a while. Yes I'm still on the program, 100% till date and looking fabulous. My total loss is now 20kg. I am actually worried at how much weight I gained over the last few years, its heartbreaking. But its a good wake up call. I pray not to go back there again. I'm almost half...

Its so encouraging that even after my minor slip up last Tuesday, I still managed to lose at least 1kg (over 2.2 pounds thereabouts) yippee!!! However my official weigh-in isn't till next week Saturday, so as usual, I'm not updating till after my meeting with my CDC.

In my office I'm no longer the biggest!!! Hurrahhh! I so hate HATE being the biggest person around, rah! #gloat gloat gloat gloat gloat gloat gloat :D muahahahahaha

In short as long as I'm on the tetrapaks, lets assume I'm on 3 cambridge regular packs a day with numerous MILKY cuppa tea breaks :p. I'm definitely not renewing my tetrapaks supply with my CDC, you can bet on that! Lets see what the choc one has to offer tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using...

So I'm trying the strawberry silk now, not as awful as the banana but not exciting either. Baaah. But hang on, I've found a usefulness for the tetrapaks! Milk for my tea!!!! Yey! It makes a lovely cuppa tea, since its like flavoured sweetened concentrated evaporated milk. So now I can drink my...
