this is my 4th week on cd and my last weigh in i'd lost 15.5lbs in total. i never wanted to know my weight and have just been going on my losses. but my flatmate just bought scales and i couldn't resist and im 1st heavier than i thought! :( i basically feel like iv lost the weight for nothing...

just 2.25lbs this week :/ still its 15.5lbs in 3 weeks :) x

yeah you have to make it slightly differently to the other soups, there are different instructions on the back to follow then and you should find it works better :)

well done! half way there is amazing!

im so, so sorry to hear about your mum jules. its such a horrid thing to go through but i think its fantastic that you've managed to find a positive way to deal with things. im wishing you the very best of luck on your cd journey and dont forget you have all these people here to offload onto if...

thats sooooo insensitive! i've lost track of the number of similar comments my dad has said to me :S there is certain negativity towards cd....the most annoying thing iv had said to me was from my friends flatmate: 'why don't you just eat nothing for free?' snigger. arggggggg!!!!!!

sapphireblue is right if you were to cut out a cm cube of fat and a cm cube of muscle the muscle would weigh more as it is more dense. but if you cut out 1lb of fat and 1lb of muscle they are obviously the same! sorry for the mental image haha!

thank you! im actually too scared to find out how much i weigh, i just get my cdc to tell me how much iv lost! so it might be more than that to get to goal. we shall see! x

second weigh in and another 5.5lbs gone, thats 13lbs in 2 weeks! want to lose 2 stone by mid-november and 3 by xmas...come on!

its impossible to have a 'fat day' because every day you're skinnier than the day before!!!

Hi guys! I know there must be similar threads elsewhere but just wondering where you lose your weight off first? I've done a week and starting to see collarbones again...maybe that's just wishful thinking though! K x

i love these little things! definitely what keeps you going... well done everyone x

i find it sooooo hard not to eat anything...i feel like i need to chew and even if its only something small it really helps me get thru the day as i look forward to having it. sometimes i have a little bit of chicken or tuna, or microwave an egg! worked for me last time i did cd, got my first...

you've done so well! dont forget to lose 1 pound in a week you have to burn 3500 more calories than you consume! we're used to such big losses that we sometimes forget how much we've actually lost! keep it up, you've probably just retained water or taken longer to get into ketosis! good...

i'll have 3 stone off by xmas please. thanks. (wish it was that easy!) kirsty x

thats fab! im at uni at the moment but when i go back home i lve trying on all the too small clothes i couldn't take with me! too big now!!!

im 19 too :) i lost 2 stone before xmas, put about 5lbs on over the holidays as i came off the diet abruptly..but lost 7lbs on my first week of restarting. i decided its time to do something now so i can enjoy my time being young and skinny!

i read that a build up of all the hard stuff can cause the runny stuff to make its way out, so ur probably still constipated and should really take something for it - not fibre building but something that will get it all out! im sure ul notice a weightloss from it too!

i started with them but quickly moved to two porridge a day and either a bar or a pack made into a muffin! need to really be in the mood to even attempt one these days!

thats fantastic!!! i bet you can't believe it! WELL DONE!!!

wow thats fantastic! congratulations!!! hope you feel proud of yourself!

i didn't tell my parents until a few weeks in, when id lost over half a stone. my housemates were wary at first but see the results and once they'd read the book and understood the diet it was fine. unfortunately some of my friends back home don't understand it, with comment like 'it makes you...

...from 10st to 9st 7lbs has anyone else changed theirs? this new target would mean id lost 3.5st...im 2lbs off 2st at the moment. would love to be maintaining by xmas!!

just finshed a yummy tofu meal, with lots of hot spices when id realised how much water id drunk with it! if anyone else has problems drinking all the water just add lots of heat to your food and you'll soon get through it!

well done! yeah it is rather cold isn't it?! my housemates hate me cos i always want the heating on! its worth it tho, glad you like the strawberry, and yeah the porridge is lush - im on 2 a day! haha. keep at it hon x

glad to hear you've started hon! keep at it and look forward to this time next week!

amazing! well done, i hope you feel proud! just being able to post the pics shows how far you have come and how much your self confidence has increased! keep at it, its so inspiring :)

im becoming the person i never thought i could be but always wanted to

iv found that, although i did hav a bad week last week and stayed the same, iv found that the weeks i didn't lose as much weight i lost inches. this could be due to water retention so keep drinking!

im the same as mooee, i only have it as a treat, when i feel i might slip up. i was also told that its the lack of citric acid that allows this. but im a bit naughty and have banned stuff so maybe don't take my advice. hasnt affected my weight loss though xx

this is a really good idea hon, hopefully will spur you on, looking forward to updates xx

wow. you've pretty much summed upp my experience too. i don't think iv gone 1 day without having something extra! i've kept it low carb, a bit of tuna or chicken, but still wish i could leave it and do it 100%. the first few weeks were good but losing only half a pound in the 5th week really...

hey hon, been reading ur messages and im really happy for you. it is really frustrating when you're unhappy and not on the diet road yet, but as soon as i started cd i felt much better. now i dont really get as stressed if i look fat, because i know im doing something about it. good luck - the...

oo wow!! you look amazing! well done, you've really inspired me. good luck on the rest of your journey!

hey hon - thats pretty scary, glad u had the forsight to pull over! id say to come off the diet until you know exactly whts wrong, then speak to your cdc, waiting a week or so then restarting is better than possibly putting yourself in danger x

thanks for the support guys! its just annoying, im sure a lot of u have been there too. every week my friends ask how much iv lost it its sooo gutting to say half a flipping pound! oh well, roll on next week, pushing for 100% too :)

grrrr! so annoyed! i only lost 0.5lbs this week! i havn't been totally 100%, having some tuna or chicken, but iv done the same in the other weeks and still had good losses :( although i did lose 1.5inches this week from my waist. could the bad loss be water retention as i know i didnt drink...

.....to do this! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1NjTWvl8x-U hahaha!

yes, that's right! one of my housemates had bought this amazing chocolate brownie but decided he didnt want it anymore. we offered it to everyone who didn't want it either (why not?!) and i told him he couldn't put it in my bin or leave it in my room. we were at a loss what to do with it when...

iv lost 18lbs, but don't feel like i look any different yet! my clothes are getting too big though and my friends have commented but all i see is a massive tummy and thunder thighs! i don't think ill be happy with my weight loss until i can actually see a difference myself!

well done! thats good goin! unfortunately some of my friends think im being silly for being on this diet ('you could buy NO food for less than 40 quid a week') and keep trying to get me to eat. just have to ignore the temptations guys!

well done on your loss! have a great time x

for me, the message i got from the thread was that you can't feel guilty just for eating food. i know its really important to stick to the diet properly, but hopefully zobo's post would make people realise that its not the end of the world if you do cheat a bit. and to crush yourself with...

i think in a way its good that you don't feel guilty, its showing that you can have something naughty andyou know it is, but also know you'll get straight back on the diet. hope you enjoyed it but get back on!

i find im obsessed with what everyone i live with is having, need to know what they've eaten and if it was nice! if i find a take-away menu i sit and read it all! i got an amazing one through the letterbox for this fab deli the other day and looked at it for about an hour! what an idiot!

just checking that a massive indian take away isn't allowed on ss???? i only want some onion bahjis, poppadums, curry, naan bread and tikka chicken so i think il be ok. haha if not pizza will do :)

on my first week i lost 6lbs and 2 inches off my waist. think some of it was water retention tho. iv lost 10lbs but havnt gone down a dress size ki x

for me its clothes size. iv been a 14 for as long as i can remember, and just feel at such a disadvantage compared with everyone else. id love to be the same weight as my friends tho. i guess im thinking about my health in a way, iv been like this for years and i dont want anymore of it. i want...

i've only been on for 2 weeks, but i think iv lost off my waist the most, and a bit off my face. just waiting to lose off my thighs, back, arms, calves, chin, fingers, toes, eyelids.....haha

mascara

well done - your losses are great! im in a similar posistion, just had my second weigh-in, lost 4lbs which puts me to 10lbs in 2 weeks. im really pleased and you should be too! ki xxx

does anyone else find that even though she said that the 'first few stones' (which in my opinion is a lot) came off through CD, they've focused on the 'healthy eating' and excercise bit like thats all she did to lose all the weight . i just get the impression people think that if you lose...

hey guys! im kirsty, (ki or kiki to friends!) im 19 and a student at newcastle uni. originally from north yorkshire. ive always struggled with my weight, been a size 14 since i was about 12. decided now's the time to do something about it, just split with my boyfriend of nearly 3 years, need a...

i had a similar day yesterday...had a small plain salad for my friend's birthday meal, went out and had 2 vodka tonics. felt quite drunk and a bit guilty, but i know its not going to happen often, and iv been really good all my other days. im contemplating allowing myself a small salad once a...

hold on... does that mean we cant cook anything for more than 15secs, like for crisps and muffins etc???

hey all, just wonderin if anyones tried to make a muffin from the porridge pack? i cant decide whether it would be like a nice oaty-type cake or just really rank?! ki x

for some reason im craving hot buttered white toast soldiers dipped into a runny egg! or just a tuna and red onion sandwich on brown bread. hmmm shud probs stop thinking about it! haha

it sounds like you need to learn how to eat when you're not on a diet. you've kinda proved that you cant be on a diet forever and athough its great to have an outside control on your eating habits (i know thats what i need atm to kick some bad habits!) one day you have to control it yourself...

hmm i must carry my weight quite well then....i have just lost 6lbs to put me to 12st 8lbs, but when i was 13st i was a comfortable size 14. im 5ft 4. hope this helps, ki x

i lost 6lb! and 2 inches off my waist!!! i actually cant believe it, so happy. its really made me want to stick at it. i got bars this week so have just cut them up into teeny pieces and shoved them in the fridge - roll on week 2!

i love the porridge, i find it really filling and takes longer to eat. you just have to master how to cook it to your own preference. im getting 7 today!

Hey guys! I've just started on the cambridge diet, last friday. I'm goin for my first weigh in at half 6 tonight and am excited! Drinking all the water has been tough, and one day I had a small chicken salad with no dressing - I txt my CDC and asked if there was anything I could have! But...
