I've done absolutely rubbish the past few weeks and can admit it. I'm sorry for the foul language to anyone reading who is a gentle soul... But trying to lose weight after years of being a greedy fatso is crap... You know what? I love wine. I love crisps. I love spare ribs and all the sauces and...

Oh, something else I forgot to report.....my daughter was in hospital for 3 weeks (home yesterday) and I went to the visiting on my BIKE. Yes, after 2 years I got back on my bike. It's a nice feeling to be able to lock it up without having to pump up my flat back tyre after each cycle. Another...

Hey Lovely Ladies.... I was away on a couple of site visits in Germany and think I gained about a kilo. Not good. I asked to be weighed, but for him not to tell me. My next weigh-in is next Saturday, 1st August..so let's see. I bought two pairs of size 44 jeans, and need to wear a belt. A...

Lizz, my dear. Where are you? How are things going? xxx

Anne, you crack me up. I'm on my 4th glass of wine. I know it's wrong, but I want it, so I'm having it. Hmmmm chicken pakora...oh God. Thank goodness Indian food is rank in Holland. Dawn, 10lb in 2 weeks, well done Mrs. That's fantastic. :party0036:

Welcome Dawn...great to have you 'on-board' :D. I moved on to the 800 programme this week (SS+ in the UK). I lost 200g only - which is quite normal on the changeover week according to my consultant. My daughter's in hospital, so I was eating hospital canteen sandwiches every day for lunch, and...

Hey Anne, great to see you back. :) Not so good news for me this week. 100g on. :cry: I actually lost 1.5kg of fat and 1cm from my waist, so the carbs have given me the fluid. I was having trouble going to the toilet this week (plenty information I hear you say), so my consultant has put me onto...

Ha ha ha ha ha. I had an accident in 2001 and couldn't move fully or exercise properly for a couple of years. The same excuse was wearing a bit thin last year :busted:

Good Morning from sunny Leiden, NL, girls. The results in from the Cambridge Jury.....1.8kg I can hardly believe it. 78 kg bang on. So chuffed. Glad I didn't buy or eat the salt & vinegar now. My Scottish brain made me almost eat a finger of shortbread this week too, but I overwhelmed it in...

Crisps. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Salt & Vinegar crisps. Oh, I can nearly taste them. Good Luck with this week's weigh-in xx

We're going to do it...it's true. Positive will and desire to change things..and keeping the bad bad carbs at bay. :D

Lizz, you're doing not too badly yourself, my dear. 27.5 inches lost..WOW! That is amazing. :D :D xx

22nd March (95.3 kg). 31st May (79.3 kg)

Hey Anne!! Welcome back Miss :D . Yep, still plodding on over here. I had no weigh-in on Saturday, but hoping for another kilo this week. If I can get to 78.5 that will be 17kg (I think about 2 1/2 stone). I can really start to feel a difference - but still only halfway there, so got to keep on...

Awww Thank You, Thank You AA . Feeling very happy at the moment. You've done so well too. What a loss in 3 weeks! Almost a stone. Well Done you xx

Hi, how did your weigh-in go? Hope it went well :):):)

Well, no weigh-in last week. Back from the wedding with a weight of 82.7 kg, so was determined to get back on the straight and narrow. I'm back under the 80 kg this morning (79.7 kg), so here's hoping for a good week. Hope you're all happy, healthy and not so hungry. Xxx

It'll be back off this weigh-in Lizz. I think the trick is if you're going to have a blow-out, straight back on the diet with conviction. That's what seems to be working for me. just back from my weigh-in. I could shout from the rooftops, I'm so happy. Another 1.5 kg off - WHICH TAKES ME UNDER...

I'm feeling elated that I can bring clothes I bought 3 years ago out of my cupboard and take the price tag off and wear it. Ha ha. Usually (on the 30 or so diets I've embarked upon in the last 10 years) I lose a bit, feel great and then scoff myself fat again. I'm determined this time. If it...

Hey girls. Tuesday afternoon. It's pouring rain here. I work at a building site, so home wet. I've had a shower and just eaten two absolutely huge pickled gherkins. Why? I have no clue. Half a kilo and I'm halfway there. I really can't buckle now. How are you this fine Tuesday? How's the first...

Hey Lizz, I'm going to Bournemouth. Really looking forward to it. I used to have evening weigh-ins, but changed to the Saturday morning. I like it much better. happy to report a 1.6kg loss this morning. I am a happy camper. :)

Hello Lovely Ladies ! I've got my weigh-in tomorrow morning.. then only till next Friday, so not a full week. I would dearly, dearly love to have hit the 80.3 kg mark by then as that would give me a 15 kg loss. I'm going to a wedding in England next weekend. I can actually see a difference...

It was absolutely lovely. Really tasty. When's your weigh-in day Lizz?

Anne, are you still around? How's tricks?

Thanks. I have no idea. I even had my hubby pick up the lean minced beef in the supermarket so that I could make it. I thought my daughters might want it if they were visiting, but decided to eat a bowl myself 2 nights in a row. How are you getting on? 12 inches lost? That is amazing. I get only...

900g off this morning. Reasonably happy, be ause I had bolognese sauce 2 nights this week. Bad Lady.

Saturday morning weigh-in. 1kg off this morning, so I'm happy with that. How are you young ladies?

Well Done ! That's really great. I need to lose another 20kg, so a while to go yet :(

Don't think I'll have a big loss this week, I just feel different. Can't put my finger on it. If it's 1 kg, then I'll still be happy. What are you aiming for Lizz? Anne, are you back yet? Onwards and upwards ladies xx

Well, I shamefully allowed myself to get to 95.5 kg (15 stone)! I was wearing size 50 clothes. I've lost 11kg and a size 46 is loose now, but I'm determined to just feel fit and healthy. Fingers crossed xx

Lizz, I have to say I had 2 meals this week instead of the shakes..bad me. I had seafood salad one night and cod with spinach last night. I've been ok, because I have a shake for breakfast, one for lunch and a soup for the evening meal, but I miss the taste of proper food. How much do you have...

Yeah. Thanks so much. They call in Cambridge 500 here in NL. The products are a bit different too. I see you've lost 6lb each week. That is amazing. How are you finding it?

Back from the weigh-in AND IT'S A 1.6kg LOSS!!! I can hardly believe it. I must have been better than I thought. I went to the pub and everything. :D

Back my holidays, don't dare to stand on the scales. Despite my good intentions, I had fish & chips 3 times, full fry-up one day too. I did stay away from bread - bit of a miracle. Anyway, no weigh-in this week as my consultant is on holiday. It's Saturday morning. Hope it's not too bad. I'm...

Thanks Anne. Hope you had a great time away at the wedding. I stood on the scales on Thursday and had lost nothing. I was quite demotivated, but got a huge surprise at the diet centre when I stood on the scales. Now for 10 days holiday. HELP! Good luck, back on track this week xx

1.6 kg off this week. Very pleased today. Now I'm on holiday, and have just poured myself a vodka :)

Well, I had 5 pieces of sushi last night.. and I don't even feel guilty. That's so wrong, and has been my biggest downfall in the past.

1.2 kg loss this week for me.

I had my lovely dinner last night and it was DELICIOUS !!! Weigh-in tonight. I'll be happy if I can get a kilo off a week now. Fingers crossed !

Are you off somewhere nice? We go to Northern Cyprus a week on Tuesday. I love Turkish food so, so, so much and I know that I'll eat it. I'm terrified of putting on all that I've lost. Good luck on Monday and the rest of the week xx

I've decided to get some Porto Bello mushrooms at the market tomorrow and cook them on Sunday with salad. Anne, let us know how you get on at the weigh-in. Hope it's good news xx

I'm meant to go on to 800 calories on Monday, and am seriously contemplating just doing it on Sunday. I don't even know why. It's only one day, but it's like I'm obsessed with food. I'm hanging around the cooker when others are cooking, just to get a sniff of their food. They're ready for...

Anne, I'm glad you're awake with renewed optimism today. It's like a catch 22 situation..we know the food's there and it's not good for us... but we have it anyway and it tastes lovely at the time.. then the guilt comes. It happened, and today's a new day. Back on track, and think of all that...

Yep, I have exactly the same problem with the water. Work is easy and home is difficult.

Anne, my downfall is crisps. I'm not such a fan of biscuits... but I can scoff down a family size bag of crisps in one go. I then get disgusted with myself, but could easily open a second big bag..which I've done on many an occasion. I'm frightened of going on to one meal a day, putting on any...

Thank you Anne. I must say I found it a bit easier second week in. I'm proud that I've actually stuck to it... after many, many failed attempts and cave-ins. I'll be well-chuffed if I can stabilise at 2lbs or 1 kilo a week. I think it's amazing that you've lost that amount with a couple of...

Hi Ladies, Second weigh- in, and 2.5kg off tonight. I'm a happy chappy. Hope everyone's weigh-ins are successful. :D

:) Thanks Anne. I'm doing Cambridge 500. They have Cambridge 500 and Cambridge 800 over here, and within the 800 you have 4 variations, I think. I'm managing OK with it. They said that you could have a tiny little soup like thing. It's called Opkikker and has only 6 calories and trace...

Yeah, I stuck to it Anne. Proud of myself. I absolutely detest the taste of the porridge (bit of a connoisseur, being Scottish..ha ha). I'm going to swap the packages for shakes tomorrow morning. I thought about just having a boiled egg instead, but that's where my lack of conviction has always...

Thanks Anne. I'm glad I asked now. I will kindly take it back along to her office. xx

Anne, here it is.. Ingredients: Ginger and Honey, glucose, sucrose and fructose. 73 calories in a whole pack. I have about 1/3 of a pack. Should I just stick to water? Sorry for hassling you.

Gold Kili instant ginger drink. I'll go look up the additives.

Ladies, I just went into the kitchen at work for some water and someone was making ginger tea. It smelled absolutely delicious. She gave me what was left in her little sachet. Are we allowed this? I don't want to take any chances.

Anne, How do you cope at the pub? I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks and KNOW that I'll be drinking. Any suggestions? I thought instead of wine to put coke zero into a spirit.

WELL DONE! Great result.

I really felt the need to chew as well, so picked up the peanut bars for lunch for this week. It did make a difference at lunch today. I made a sit down meal for my hubby and two (not a pick of fat on them....grrr) daughters, and I had my wee bowl of Cambridge soup. I'm so ashamed that I've...

THANKS! and all the very best of luck for tonight. X

Awww, thank you so much. I was like a big kid. I couldn't wait to get home and tell my hubby and daughters. Good luck with your weigh-in today. x

Thank you Anne. I've lived in the 'metric zone' for 20 years now (Netherlands), so 4 kg is a huge loss for me....but I always relate it to pounds, I don't know why. No work today, due to the pesky world leaders meeting at the Nuclear Summit in The Hague, so another 'drinking water in the house'...

Annie, I was secretly hoping to lose 4lb...so I think that's great. Does anyone remember that diet show on tv where they put all the extra weight on the table in front of the dietee and then made them put it in a rucksack and carry it around? That kind of frighteningly motivates me at the...

Start Week 95.3kg Week 1 (24/03/14) 91.2kg

Just back from my first weigh-in. I'm so very happy to report that I've lost 4.1 kg (just under 9lb). :D

FANTASTIC! Well Done Anne x

Good Luck Anne :fingerscrossed:

Last week at work I filled a 1.5 litre bottle in the morning, had my shake and then filled it again. The weekend is so difficult. On my last glass now, but I have to say it's been a struggle.

I need to seriously get trucking with my water. Only had 2 glasses this morning and it's 12:20 now. :tear_drop::tear_drop::tear_drop::tear_drop::tear_drop::tear_drop:

Hi new diet buddies:D Great to 'meet' you all. Well today is Day 4 for me and doing ok. Fingers crossed for the first weigh-in on Monday night. The consultant was really very helpful and encouraging. I need to lose 30 kg. I've managed to stick to it so far, but missed my giant bag of Friday...

Hi, I'm Tracy, and going for my intake appointment on Monday at 4 p.m. Have allowed my weight to creep up from 64kg to 95kg - to my eternal shame :eek: I will post my stats after each weigh-in, and am hoping to give and receive support on the forum. It would be nice to have a buddy to chum me...
