Wannabe I'm flying this morning sat in the lounge as I type- didn't get a chance to pop to my cdc so no bars so going to abstain on the flight! We shall see how pissed off my neighbours get on the plane with me weeing every half hour! Anyway looking forwards to it, nice sunny weather that isn't...

Aww ceeboo, don't be so hard on yourself, 4lb is fantastic, you should be proud you've stuck to the diet 100% it's not easy so you have soo much to be proud of -4lb of fat is huge! It's a massive step in the right direction, so don't feel disheartened, it takes as long as it takes so chin up and...

A huge well done wannabesize12 that is amazing! You must be so pleased with yourself! Wow that really is incredible- 18 lbs- that's huge! Good idea regarding the bars- I'd completely forgotten about them! I shall pop to my cdc tonight and pick some up- what flavours are the best? Kc

Thanks guys, your support means soo much. Am feeling much more focused. Think my hormones must be all over the place at the mo as seem to be slightly irrational with myself at times! So, today I had my second anti cellulite treatment and F**K me it hurt like hell- I thought I would be more...

I know there is a separate thread for motivational purposes but I want to do my own so I don't forget why I am doing this, as I need a bit more motivation at the moment, So Why do I hate being fat 1-10, I'll add another 10 as and when I need to. 1) Having thighs that rug together and chafe and...

Hi ladies, Apologies for the radio silence, it's been a busy few days. Hmm so this week has been tough. I've had quite a lot of stress, I've been having a few problems with my periods for the last few months so have been having all sorts of check ups with the doctor- smear test, ultrasound...

In three weeks time I am coming home for a weeks leave, I haven't been home for about 5 months. My family don't know that I'm on this diet or that i've lost weight, on one hand I'm excited as it's felt like a long time since I was home but on another i'm nervous. My weight has always been open...

So skin update, I have been using bio oil and cocoa butter every day for over a week now. A few drops of bio oil in the bath in the morning, followed by massaging it in to problem areas after getting out the bath- note that putting it in the bath makes the bath bloody slippy so you have to be...

Hi Wannabesize12, I know what you mean about being obsessed! on one hand I was struggling not having working scales, but I got to the point I had to know if it was working- stupid I know as I can feel its working but the scales won and I had to get them working again! I'm sure having a bar...

OH MY GOD- I want a cupcake! I have such a bad craving and its lasted 3 days now- I went past a bakery earlier this afternoon and nearly caved! Why does your mind do this to you?ARGHHHHH!H!H!H!H!H!H! Think thin think thin! No food tastes as good as thin!

So I weighed this morning and have broken through my first stone- actually done 15 lbs - woohoo! In 3 weeks! Yay feeling good now let's get rid of the next one!

Today I decided to check my measurements, I measured myself at work 8 days ago and was pretty horrified, baring in mind I didn't measure at the very beginning so a week and a half in my full bust was 45 1/2 inches, under bust was 39, waist was 40 1/2 ( sob) and hips were 49 so I measured today...

Hi wannabasize12 I can relate to that, i think it's the bodies reaction to no food- it just wants to chew anything! It's horrible when that's all you can think about- I've started reading a good book to take my mind off it in the evening but still find myself examining my food cupboard- luckily...

Hi Elibah, WOW you have done so well! and so brave putting on a lingerie pic! look how slim you are- it's amazing to see the transformation! Your legs look so trim and your waist is literally half the width! amazing - really well done! its so inspiring to see pics. I'm in my third week, started...

Hi Sinead, thanks, glad you are enjoying it :-) Good luck with your start! stick with it! Wannabesize12- Well done! thats a great start! I've not had the bars, let me know how you get on with them and if any of them are nice

I had the day off today so treated myself to a spa day, I opted for the anticellulite treatment in my war on the orange peel. Started off as a nice experience having a scrub and nice oils and stuff rubbed onto my leggs and arse, I was relaxing and finding it all very pleasant. Almost at...

Thanks for your support guys - it really helps having some supportive voices! Sophiesophs, thanks for your message- I am struggling with the water to be honest- I'm based in Dubai and it is Ramadan so I can't drink in public or the office so I am only hitting about 2 litres- will try and up it...

Woke this morning feeling annoyed with myself after cheesegate but onwards and upwards. I bought a battery for my scales yesterday as not being able to weigh everyday is killing me! So I weighed this morning and I've dropped to 107kgs so not 0.3 as I weighed yesterday so feeling better and my...

Hi Squinky, I've just caved too, what was I thinking? Feeling very annoyed with myself! Well done for you getting back on it though. I'm going to have an early night and have weird cheese dreams. I don't even like cheese particularly! Grrr KC

Well weigh in was not good- I only lost 0.3kg- not even a pound- I've been good, just having a little bit of protein everyday. I'm gutted and very sorry to say I came home and gave in, and I've just polished off some cheese- I don't even like cheese that much but it's the only thing I had in the...

Well done Innerme! Thats a great loss for your first two week- over a stone! stick with it!

Hi Robyn - how are you getting on?

I'm really starting to feel a difference so this morning I decided to confront my fear and look at myself naked in the mirror. It's not a pretty site - I look far better with clothes on. Once the fat has gone I think i should have decent shape, but I have this horrible saggy lower tummy which I...

wannabesize12- yeah I must admit I struggle with the majority of the flavours- its actually the textures I can't stand and the granula bitiness. But teh chocholate tetra packs are ok- I came across some recipes the other day which might help.Cambridge diet recipes : Discussion Board soFeminine I...

Hi Catbus, I have to admit I've been eating a bit of protein and veg this week due to a few business lunches and a friends leaving do, however I have been very careful I have stayed under 500 calories every day though and no sugar or carbs passed my lips. Am still in ketosis so have managed...

So I have almost finished my first two weeks. I had a leaving do for a friend today and had the usual what to wear scenario. I had a couple of dresses in my wardrobe that are a size 18 so I thought I'll give them a go. They all fitted, a couple were a teeny bit tight but I could still do them up...

Well done for getting here and getting through your first day catbus - stick with it and you'll hit your first mini target in no time at all. I'm in week 2 and still weeing through the night- but it's worth it so just have to get used to a disturbed sleep for a while. And a huge well done for...

A huge well done Lea, great loss already! Isn't it fab watching those numbers come down!

So in week 2 and I am still feeling positive. I wore my size 20 jeans today and they are a bit baggy on the bum and I was hoisting them up all day - hooray! I'm feeling pretty good and positive. A couple of friends at work have commented that they can absolutely see a change already especially...

Good luck on Thursday Holly- how are you feeling? I could feel a difference in my body within a couple of days, my waist certainly seemed less bloblike. I was desperate to weigh in between but I've been a scales whore all my life which is a habit I want to break so am resisting and just...

That's great Wannabesize12, it is by no means easy but it's so worth sticking with it and I'm so glad my stories have helped to inspire you. If it was easy we'd all be a size 10 but sadly to get what you want takes effort and commitment. Be strong and do whatever it takes to get through it!

hmm Lizzrob, the loose skin may be an issue, I hadn't pictured that in my bikini. I was thinking more flat stomach perfectly toned and tanned- OK maybe I need to rework this a bit and have a more realistic mental image. How bad is the loose skin in general? Is it a certain weightloss that gives...

Wow Kat- I'd completely forgotten about shorts- they've been completely off my radar since god knows when!

I want to be able to wear a bikini- a teeny tiny one, without looking like a beached whale! I have a control one piece at the moment but hate going to the beach or to a pool even with good friends let alone strangers as know i look awful- I spend the entire time reaching for a coverup or a...

Thank you Ginger, :bliss:It's a good feeling!

I was chatting in the new CDers forum and asked what is your dream outfit. When you hit your goal weight, what do you dream of wearing that either you can't now or just looks ridiculous? I am dreaming of a teeny weeny black bikini - It would be like my worst nightmare at the moment being in...

OO i like that Sparkles- I can't wait to be able to shop anywhere I want to - I work in the fashion industry so it literally breaks my heart not to be able to shop anywhere and clothes shopping is such a challenge to find anything that looks ok on and remotely fashionable and regularly ends in...

Well a little bit of chicken isn't going to kill you! I had a team lunch today and have avoided telling my team about it as can't face all the questions etc just yet; so I ate, I managed to find a low calorie chicken in lettuce wrap dish which was nice but covered in parsley which I don't really...

Thanks Sparkles :) it's a great first step

Hi all, I have been reading through loads of the posts and just wanted to ask about inchloss. What is being measured exactly- is it a bust, waist and hip combined? Can someone enlighten me? Thanks. KC

wow- just looked at my BMI and it's already gone down to 37.8- Thats incredible! one step closer to being healthy

Thank you mini, yes I am pleased with that :) thats a new born baby I've just taken of my non pregnant but looks pregnant belly :)

So week 1 is done! Had my weigh in this evening and I've lost 4 kgs or 8.8lbs - Woohoo! I am so happy. I have to admit I was secretly hoping for more as you see some of the big losses reported but I'm still feeling very proud of myself. A good start. But this isn't a sprint it's a marathon so...

I should point out I'm based in Dubai so 3 hours ahead of you guys

So it was my weigh in this evening and I am very please to report a 4kg or 8.8 lb loss :party0011: I'm so pleased. I must admit part of me was hoping for more but hell it's still bloomin good. Feeling motivated for the next week now - woohoo!

Absolutely sparkswillfly! I am adamant that this will be my last diet - I never want to let myself get into this state again. I am worth more and I can do it! I am an adult and can take responsibility of my weight- no more passing the blame or excuses!

Ok so apparently Saturday evenings are tough! I'll just waffle on, so in the last year i've had a couple of horrible experiences that helped me decide to do this. I mean I have always had abuse in the street throughout my life, and whilst those hurt and stay with you for years the last year...

Absolutely agreed - the weekend has been hell! i've been at home all weekend and have cleared out the cupboards so there is literally nothing in the house but some ryvita and a tin of tuna. not overly inspiring to cheat with those! I don't know how people do it if they live with other people...

Stick with it Whatamidoing, I'm on day 6 and have just had a horribly upset stomach- I had been warned but am feeling a bit sorry for myself. I read your post and thought- god what I would do for a bit of chicken- but it isn't worth it- eating just makes it harder. ANd my breath absolutely...

Thanks Sparkles, weigh in moved til tomorrow so will let you know then :fingerscrossed:

So my first week. I'm on day 6 and have strayed a little. I'm not feeling comfortable at work in front of my colleagues yet as haven't told them because didn't really want that discussion yet. I work with mainly women so often talk of diets etc but I just want to get my head round this first...

Hi all, I've read through some of the diaries and they were so interesting and inspirational, I thought I would add my own to help me through this, to remind myself of how I feel and why I am doing this and if anyone else takes comfort from it than all the better. 5 minutes when your thinking...

Hi All, I am on Day 6 of Cambridge Diet-soul source-has been a tough week- weighing in tomorrow, so fingers crossed. I've been pretty good, had two days where I caved and had a dry cracker or 3. Have been struggling to get 3 litres of water in but trying, and also missing milk in my coffee...
