Heyy, I am so addicted to the mushroom risotto mmmm and have decided that I will either have a bar or mushroom risotto a day as it does seem to have more cals in them and are rather filling too and I am so excited to try the spaghetti Bolognese one in Jan as it makes such a difference and I feel...

Heyy all, temptation seems to be all around my sister and brother came home for the weekend and my moms cooking up a storm of all our fave foods, haven't caved yet so hopefully stay strong!! and having weigh in today helped and gave me a boost as I lost 4lbs and I am at 12.12 :eek: cant believe...

Yea my weigh in is on Fridays and soups wise I only like chicken and mushroom and oriental chilly with a few added spices in it which make them nicer I think, I also tried spicy tomato but I was not a fan I found it to be too sweet. And that's awesome, its so nice when people notice and your so...

ooo spag bol sounds soooo good, I cant wait to try that but something different from all the sweet shakes they have. Have you tried the mushroom risotto yet? its sooo good and so filling. How you getting on today?

Hey berry1 good luck for weigh in, I don't know about you but this week seems to have flown by. I am getting on ok thanks, although I am starting to hate being so cold all the time and I have ran out of soup :( but think I will stock up on them this Friday. How are you getting on?

I find drinking water the hardest to be honest, I have never been much of a drinker at all use to manage on a cup of tea and a bottle of pepsi max most days lol but slowly getting better and drinking more and certainly don't crave fizzy pop.

WOW!!!!!! :eek: that is amazing, so happy for you Lyds, 1 stone and 1lb in a week isn't too shabby at all lol

hope ur headache is better? and I would love 6lbs lol to get me into the 12's :eek: but I do think that's slightly wishful thinking lol so would b happy with 3lbs too so the following week I can get into the 12's lol How is everyone doing? and can you believe a month today it'll be Christmas...

Well done Lyds!! and that feeling is the best feeling ever, good luck for tomorrow's weigh in :)

Hey all, I have had 2 coffees and a hot chocolate so far and feeling good and full which is great, I also had the mushroom risotto last night and it was very indulgent, so much so that I couldn't even finish it off, but it was certainly a nice treat and something I will be getting again, I...

Hey Lyds, I am getting on ok its been a struggle today and now that I am home alone the temptation is growing but I went into town earlier today and wore my sisters old jeans (she used to weigh 13 stone but she also lost a lot of weight and all her bigger cloths I kinda took for "when I lost the...

Hey ladies hope all it well, and after eating the bars my mouth gets dry normally but not much else. and yea the days do seem to get harder and I have been feeling very tempted these last few days and now I am home alone the temptation has grown, but like Honey-J said this is the most amazing...

Hey Lyds, wow aromatherapy that sounds really interesting, I did a mini course many many years ago and loved it but have forgotten everything now lol and licking fingers that's such an easy thing to do because I especially did it so much and unconsciously so breaking that habit was tough and one...

Awww wow, Well done you :D your into the 10 whoop and yes the bars are amazing!! my consultant also told me abt a new product today for allowed on any step which is mushroom risotto and does sounds lovely and I brought one to try.

Hey hope everyone is good, I had weigh in and lot 4 pounds :) so I am 13.5 today which I am so happy with, 2 more weeks and hopefully be 12 something lol :eek: Bex how was your weigh in?

I have been on it for 11 weeks straight tomorrow and I did a few blogs on this site as well to read back on during tough times but that's about once a month, other then that I haven't really I just tend to read a lot on this which I find helpful. And yea having targets certainly is useful and...

Well done Honey-J!! that's awesome :)

Heyy, I am getting on ok actually just feels like I'm going through the motions if that makes sense, as if its just a normal routine now I have a shake about 10am then a bar at 3pm followed my another shake at 7ish lol and Lemon bar is by far my favourite mmmmm (and last few evening having the...

Well done Berry1 that's great, 4lbs off is amazing!!!

awww that is very touching thank you so much and no doubt in feb you will be speeding up and down, that actually reminds me of when my Akita (Asha) escaped from the house one day, and like a mad women I was chasing her down the road and about 20 mins after she thankfully stopped, and whilst I...

Hey lyds, just been reading through and I have to say I love the motivation and the list (which I can so relate too and will certainly write one for myself with the biggest thing for me being not to care what others think of me, as I have lived life for far too long that way and not letting my...

Heyy, just found out I got a job I had an interview for, which is both exciting and daunting as I will be a mental health recovery worker, which is will hopefully give me the experience needed to get hired as a social worker in a community mental health team :). I don't actually have any...

Hey bex, I am a serial weigher myself every time I pee I jump on lol but yeah keep going and you will certainly see a loss and to get into the 10s which sounds amazing lol. Food is everywhere though I've realised it so much since being on the diet and is in almost every aspect of life, food is...

Hey yalll been a manic Monday travelling around and went to see my auntie today who kept asking me what I wanted to eat and when I said just a glass of water she was like noooo you cant just have that, have a biscuit instead! lol thankfully I wasn't there long or I think she may have forced it...

Yeah, hope its a good loss and with limiting your exercise hopefully that will help too :) Right i'm off to bed wishing you all a good Monday

Yeah me too, its terrible but sometimes I am just wishing the days away so I can get to weigh in lol I hope to get on the good side of 13 so anything under 13.7 will be amazing, I have started to increase my water as to be fair last few days I have been slacking but hopefully with more water and...

Hey all, Hope all is good just been reading up and seems like we are all motivated to get to goal!!! my weigh in is on Fridays usually early mornings, I am currently not working so my days are pretty flexible but the boredom is getting to me so trying to keep busy. It's strange to think that...

Oh ok, that's is strange although I guess it makes sense since being on a VLCD and yea be good to see if it makes a difference not exercising hope the scales show a big loss for you and you get into the 10s which will be amazing :)

Hey Lizwhite29, well done on your achievements so far and taking it that step further, I was just wondering whether whilst you was on CD did you do exercise then? and if so what kind of things did you do? I feel like I want to do more stuff, and at the moment I have increase my dog walks but...

Hey, don't worry about the mishap and I see CD as a rollercoaster you certainly have ups and downs and its great that you got back into it as soon as you did, I'm sure your consultant will totally be understanding and supportive, also check in your area for consultants that do weekends...

Hey Tina, I'm Ama firstly well come to the Cambridge rollercoaster ride :) its totally worth it!! I myself do love an olive but thankfully no one else in the house eats them so since being on the diet they aren't around lol but I totally get it, and there are always temptations around, so well...

WOW honey-J 7lbs that's fantastic and into the 13s as well, always nice when you get a big loss and break a weight bracket. :D well done your deffo on your way to that size 12!!!

Heyy, I live in Halesowen how about yourself? And the toilet trips are annoying but I promise you do get use to them lol and the more you go the better so cant be a bad thing. I always seem to weigh heavier at night too but since being on CD it hasn't been that much of a difference maybe a pound...

Hey good luck tomorrow at weigh in!! I have mine in the morning too so hopefully we all see a good loss, when is your weigh in bexcalo? and hopefully thing between you and your partner get better, but don't let it get you down and put that energy into the diet and how amazing you will feel and...

Hey hope everyone is well and hope you don't mind me messaging back. I am also just trying to get to Christmas and hopefully have that great feeling this year rather than the usual bloating and uncomfortable feeling I have had at previous years. in terms of the soups they are nice this time of...

Hey, thank you it is tough but looking at your pics it is so totally worth it, and even with how much I have lost so far I have felt so much better and confidence has grown. This week I managed to get under the 200 pounds mark which I am so happy about and I had a cheeky weigh in and have...

Heyy, thanks it did take two weeks but better late then never and I also think it helped me to stay on longer this time around, as when I was off I felt crap and so sluggish but being on it I have energy and just generally a lot better. Today has been good, haven't had all my water as I had to...

hey angel, well done for getting back on it and the great loss you have had. I love that I lost what weight loss calculator, I just did mine and I have lost the equivalent to a wheaten terrier lol. And well done to tomnkatesmum for getting past day 3 :D. Lets keep up the good work!!!! Progress...

And yeah I cant complain with the results it'll be 2 months straight on Friday so I cant wait, slightly shocked I've stuck with it this longer, as I have never stuck with any diet...

Hey Tano, just had a read through your post and you seem very determined and that is most of the battle right there. How are you getting on today? what days do you have weigh in? I am currently on step 1 sole source as I have a LOT to lose but I am in week 6 and I do struggle as I am sure most...

Hey, how is everyone doing? and yes the best advice is to distract yourself as much as possible during the first few days, I taught myself how to crochet which seemed to work. I hope Monday goes well for you Shrinkydinky stay strong you can do it! I've been struggling these last few days myself...

aww wow sunflower that is great news :D how have you been lately?

Hey, so glad things are going well and no binging!!! congrats on making it to day 11 :) I personally really like the bars and would struggle without them and for me they haven't made a difference I don't think as my weight loss has stayed pretty consistent, I have been advised to have the lemon...

Hey Hope your feeling better and having more energy is so great, you would never of guessed being on such a diet could make you feel so much better lol and im sure the cleaning will still be there tomoz lol i decided to clean the freezer out today, i actually enjoy cleaning and with so much...

no need to feel ashamed, its a tough diet and the fact that your not binging is great as its so easily done, but yea as NumptyMum said maybe try doing the diet with a meal that way you have something to look forward to as well. And writing a diary sounds like a good idea, maybe include all the...

Hey Lara1986, hope you are ok and getting on well with CD? and yep certainly a time for change and for all of us much happier times :D

Hey cece12, good luck for tomorrow and i have no doubts you will lose lots, its a tough diet but so worth it when you see results. One thing that I remember is how sluggish I felt when I went off CD for two week and then when I restarted I had so much energy I had and generally feeling better...

Hey NumptyMum, we all have hiccup along the way but you did amazingly for only having nibbles and for getting back on it, i know when i had my hiccup it lasted 2 weeks and i gained 5 pounds, but I think you will still see some loss on the scales, when is ur weigh in? and its tough i have a fast...

well done for getting your dissertation in, i remember doing mine and the only thing that got me through was the snacking because the hours were crazy and i personally found it tough focusing on that and eating healthy, kinda seems your quite similar, but hopefully since handing it in things...

Well done, and i think its going around i've got a cold myself :( but yeah have plenty of water and try rest as much as you can. On a brighter note i had my weigh in today and lost 3lbs :D and im very happy and motivated again. My consultant told me about a lady who lost 9 stone in 9 months...

Hey sunflowerlady, hope you are doing well? I thought I would wish you luck for tomorrow, hope the consultation goes well. I've struggled this week although managed to stick to it, I think being at home all day applying for jobs is taking my boredom to the next level, but hopefully find...

Hey sunflowerlady, I can so relate to the water thing before CD I hardly ever drank it and if i did it was laced with squash and water on its own was a definite no no. I would be lying if i said i'm now a changed person and i drink the recommended water ever day because i don't, but i am so much...

Heyy how are you doing? and great to hear you've past day 3 (i found that the hardest day) im currently in week 3 and have lost 17lbs and i am delighted, how is everone getting on?

you can and you will!! i went off the diet for two weeks and changed consultants so i also decided to eat everything and anything as my goodbye to food. But honestly was it worth it, looking back not at all i felt crap and gained 5lbs which just meant i had more to lose. i wish i hadn't binged...

hey, hope we are all having a great Friday? The repetitiveness of this diet is the hardest thing i find but taking it a day at a time and thinking just make it to weigh in and then seeing the pounds drop off is an amazing feeling. Plus all the extra energy I have is great, I too am currently at...

Hey angelupnorth, thanks for an interesting point i never really considered thinking about it in that way. I am the one in control and I am choosing to better my life for myself and one filled with hopefully a lot more happiness. I've never really been slim and as i've aged my weight has...

Hi sunflower, I was having a tough week this week as i felt like it dragged but then came across your thread and began reading, which has definitely helped so thanks :) and congratulations on your baby boy :) I wish you all the best for your appointment and it shows just how determined you are...

Hi all, I'm exactly the same i love cooking and as i'm currently looking for work i have a lot of time on my hands which means im cooking, cleaning and just trying to keep busy as i seem to have loads more energy. However i know its autumn now but boy i am freezing ALLLLL the time lol I used to...

Hey, I can certainly relate to the insecure feeling and its horrible but since being on CD i have felt so much better and although its a long journey if you stick to it you will too :) and @ Slim2012 well done for getting to day 7 and i wish you all the best for weigh in make sure you let us...

Hey Cece12, the whole distraction method it totally an awesome idea especially for the first 3 days days which I found the toughest but not unbearable, if i could offer any advise for those days is just lots of water it reduces the headaches and hunger. I started my CD on the 04th August and...

awww wow congratulations for all that loss and yep stay strong after day 3 it gets easier and you will certainly lose more :) I have 3 shakes but that's on sole source you can have 4 shakes on sole source plus i think but i am not entirely sure, best thing to do is text or email your consultant...

Hi all, hope everyone is good? and no annc2014 i stick to shakes too, i find it easier being strict and get less tempted :) to slim2012 i also have a potential wedding next year and its my brother so i am also determined to stay with it and hopefully for the first time in years and years be...

Hi Desperatetobethin, firstly well done for the 4.5lbs off that's great news :) My overall goal is to lose 120lbs which would take me from 17 stone to being 8 and a half stone but my shorter goal is to get to 12 stone by the beginning of the 2015 for my graduation (fingers crossed). Thankfully...

Hey guys, I also have ALOT to lose and need all the support and motivation I can get, I am on week 3 day 17 and on SS and this bank holiday is proving to be a huge hurdle I am so tempted with all the food around, so far I have managed to not eat anything but dont know how long it will last, how...

Thank you guys, and yeah I have decided to change consultants I emailed someone within my area who responded and seemed very helpful so as of the 1st I will be seeing my new consultant which should be exciting. How is everyone getting on with it being a bank holiday weekend? I generally find...

Hi guys, I am on SS and have just introduced bars to my diet I was wondering if others have done the same and if there is any limitations of having bars instead of shakes and if there is a maximum, I would ask my consultant but I don't find her very useful and she seems to be more focused on me...

Hi all hope everyone is feeling good and motivated? well done Arliparli for fighting through and keep going the first weigh in gives so much motivation, I had my first today and so please to say I lost 10lbs and an inch off hips, waist, arms, bust and thighs so been feeling really good today. I...

Hi, feeling really good today had my weigh in and on day 12 I have lost 10 lbs and lost at least an inch off my waist, hips, bust, arms and thighs :) definitely feeling motivated now and have introduced the bars, had my first one today which was peanut butter bar and although the taste wasn't...

Hey, thank you for your support. I've currently just finished university so waiting for results and applying for jobs at the moment I still live at home and I am looking forward to entering my profession looking slimmer and being healthier. I'm feeling a lot better today managed my 2 shakes and...

yeah not too bad made it past today without cheating so happy about that as I was very tempted too. Got first weigh in on Monday so I think that's keeping me motivated and keeping thinking a few uncomfortable days will be so worth it in a few months time and when I think how fast time goes by...

Hey everyone hope you don't mind me joining I was reading through posts and came across yours with some great inspiration, I'm on day 10 of SS and its been such a struggle yesterday and today I was sick and not really feeling that great was wondering if anyone had any advice or experienced the...

Thanks, and yeah been drinking water hoping tomorrow will be a better day :) How are you getting on today?

Hey, I had a hard day yesterday and this morning felt sick, I had my first shake but not long after I was sick then thought i better have a herbal tea to settle my tummy but even then been sick just wondering if anyone has any advice or had experienced the same thing?

Yeah that's a good way to look at it need to stop dwelling on what's been done and focus more on what I am going to do :). My aim is to stay on till Christmas fingers crossed and hopefully by then I hope to have a better understanding and relationship with food. After speaking with my counsellor...

Honestly when I started this diet I have noticed so many adverts and food programs its crazy lol and thank you, well done to you too even with a hard day you stayed strong we just need to keep it up :) My first weigh in is the 18th so 4 more days to find out although I've have a cheeky look on...

Thanks everyone for the advice, I think breaking it up will really help I will keep you updated on how I am doing, you all have some great results which is very motivating, and to Bethcox I find the shakes ok, I much prefer the chocolate flavoured ones and last night decided to have a warm...

Thank you, I'll need to keep repeating that lol Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining I certainly need to get serious, I have been on the Cambridge diet for a week now and have not struggled so much with feeling hungry but more so with the repetitive nature and the amount of water wondering if anyone had any advice? And just generally wanted...

hey, I wanted to message to get some motivation and advice as a newbie and thought this was a nice supportive thread. I am on day 7 but wont be getting weighed until day 12 so slightly nervous and excited, I also have a lot to lose roughly 7 stone so know I will need to input a lot of dedication...
