    anyone else lost loads but still feel fat!!

    I've lost 5 and a half stone and gone from a size 24 to a size 16 and I feel more depressed than ever for some reason, I think it's the wrinkly belly and legs. I feel a really odd shape and shopping is even more of a trauma than ever. Ho hum, hoping the last 3 stone will miraculously even...

    what do you want to do when you are thinner?

    Oooh oohh that was me too, I was just thinking earlier how great it is not to dam up the bath anymore. It's the little things huh :D

    what do you want to do when you are thinner?

    I fulfilled one of my goals the other day actually, and it felt bloody fantastic. A couple of years ago my inlaws bought a huge trampoline for the garden and i've never been able to go on it because i've always been too heavy. Last weekend, I went on the trampoline and bounced and bounced and...

    Sole Sourcing below BMI 25?

    Not me obviously, i'm still a long way off! One of the ladies on another forum I go on has a BMI of 22 or 23 and she's still sole sourcing. I was just wondering if that was right, as i'm sure I read you weren't supposed to. There do seem to be a lot of people who do carry on sole sourcing after...

    Oriental Chilli

    Oh crikey, don't mix it by hand, it's like drinking powder!! You need a good blender my love! I have one of these :- Shop for The Genie Multi Chopper. at Argos.co.uk Mixes the soups and shakes so they are lovely and creamy, and if you add ice it blends it all in. Makes the mousses...

    How are you mixing them? I found the taste of mine improved no end when I got one of those magic bullet things.

    Amazing motivation!

    Excellent! I had a big sort out 5 weeks ago, but i'm going to have to have another one soonish as my jeans are falling down again! I had to wear a belt walking to the post office today with my one year old in the carrier on my back, the carrier kept pushing my trousers down and exposing my...

    D-Day tomorrow

    My CDC has one of those replica lb of fat things, looks like a big yellow lump of veiny lard, it's grim! Anyway, I was a bit ugh when I only lost 2lbs the other week, and she gave it to me and said 'you've lost 2 of those from your body'. And it's not a small thing! That made me feel much...

    D-Day tomorrow

    Well done on the 2lbs, its 2lbs in the right direction. I know just what you mean about it getting harder and a bit disheartening, I think we've been at it roughly the same length of time. I'm finding it harder and harder to keep at it, im losing motivation almost daily. I think it gets harder...

    Help! I'm poorly

    I've woken up with the dreaded lurgy and i've got absolutely no energy. I'm trying to get my water down me, but it's not easy, and i've nearly passed out twice. I'm laying down as much as poss (have 2 small children so not that easy). Is there anything I should be doing?

    Does anyone take their shakes to work in a flask

    I used to take one of those tiny little Aerolate things to work, you know the ones that you use to make your coffee frothy? They are mini and would fit in your bag, and they do whisk quite well.

    Struggling to cope with AAM

    Awwww, sorry to hear you're struggling with AAM. Firstly, well done for just eating a bit extra protein and white veg, it would have been very easy to pick at other stuff! Is it the fact you've been allowed to eat something that is the problem? Did you get on fine Sole Sourcing? I know...

    So how many layers do you have on today?

    I am sooooooooooo cold! This is a really odd feeling for me, before i've always been the one with the windows wide open in december because i'm really warm. Today I have on jeans, socks, vest, long sleeved tshirt and a big cardigan over that and i'm still freezing!!!!!

    want to start cd, will i need to stop gym

    Hiya, Yes, after the first couple of weeks you can still go to the gym, just take a fortnight off to let your body get used to the diet. I go 2-3 times a week now and i'm fine, if anything I have more energy than I ever did when I was at my biggest!

    Day 8

    Hiya, Bad demons! Give them a quick slap and tell them to stay off your shoulder! Seriously, don't beat yourself up, just draw a line under it and start afresh today. I don't know what its like where you are, but here it's a lovely sunny day, perfect for inspiring you to crack on with the...

    A couple of questions re. excersise and bars!!

    Hiya, I was told to avoid the gym in the first fortnight as your body gets used to the reduced calories. I go 2-3 times a week now for a workout and/or a swim and i'm fine. If i'm honest, i've got far more energy than I ever had being overweight! I'm not sure how far in you are so can't...

    Ketostix Question

    When I started Cambridge 7 weeks ago my sticks were always really dark no matter how much I drank. Now they are really light, barely pink at all. I haven't cheated so I can't not be in ketosis can I?

    Hot shakes??

    I make mine hot as it's wayyyy too cold for icy shakes! Haven't tried banana yet, will have to! Fruits of the forest was quite nice hot, so's choc mint, ooooh and half vanilla / half chocolate is lovely hot!

    Mood Swings

    Oh god I am so glad i'm not the only one! I've been a right miserable cow on and off lately, it's exactly like PMT. I was putting it down to the Mirena, though i'm sure thats not helping either. Ugh, I just want to curl up in bed today, the kids are driving me mad!

    Do i have to do aam?

    My CDC told me I didn't have to do it either, but then I think she also has a woman with a BMI of less that 25 doing SS so who knows. I decided that the health guidelines are there for a reason so I opted to do the AAM, I fiddled it a bit though, I added the chicken and mushrooms to my soup in...

    When do you start to actually SEE the weight loss? :)

    Hiya, You might find other people notice the loss before you do. I'm 3 stones down now, and 2 clothes sizes, so i'm noticing that, but I went to a family party at the weekend and people just kept on telling me how they can't believe how different I look. I look in the mirror and I can't see...

    Back in the Pink

    I can imagine. I'd probably just have the chicken salad and eat it really, really, really slowly lol. I'm really liking the idea of having fish & chips at a wedding, we had some poncy chicken affair at ours. When i've convinced DH he wants to marry me again so I can wear a skinny dress, I...

    Back in the Pink

    I'd say try and resist if you possibly can, it's so much harder getting back to SS after (so speaks the voice of experience who ate at a party on LL and stopped altogether a week later). I'm assuming it's a sit down meal which is hard, I had a family party, and my boys baptism recpetion at the...

    AAM question...

    I'm not a big veg fan either, so I just ended up blitzing my small amount of chicken and mushrooms in with a soup to make a lovely thick soup I could eat happily from a bowl. I didn't really trust myself to eat something and not want to keep eating iyswim though. The chilli chicken sounds...

    I am a right moody old cow...

    Im having this exact same issue today, everything just feels crap. I was a saint all weekend through a family meal of my favourite beef strog cooked by me on friday, then a family party with gorgeous buffet on saturday, and finally my boys baptism reception and then roast beef dinner on sunday...

    Does your OH reward you for your big losses?

    I've got a Trollbead bracelet too. Hubby got me a blue armadillo glass bead for valentines day (no choccys this year boo hoo) and for my first 2 stones lost i've got a fashion stripe glass bead and a kitten silver bead. :D

    Dreaming about eating....

    I've been having the same dreams! I always eat something, then realise what i've done and feel absolutely devastated because i've ruined the diet! Last night I dreamt I was picking through a bag of biscuits my DS had made. It's such a relief when you wake up and realise it was only a dream!

    Feeling really hungry.. Please help

    My CDC told me if I was feeling hungry to drink 2 glasses of water. Water definately makes you feel less hungry, and, to quote someones signature I read 'The more you drink, the more you shrink!' Stick with it, you're doing great!
  54. bendigoblue

    Do you dream of food?

    I'm glad I found this thread. I keep having these dreams where I forget i'm SSing and eat a huge meal then remember and feel absolutely devastated. It's most odd!

    Pregnant on a VLCD

    I fell pregnant in 2005 while on LL and I just had to stop immediately, no harm done. My little boy was born in Feb last year and he is perfect. I was only on the diet 2 weeks before I fell for him too lol.
