I have a confession. I am a serial lurker :ashamed0005: I do read a lot but don't post. Think it's a general lack of self confidence. Mainly weight induced. Getting there though and after a while trying and failing miserable on slim and save am now back on CWP with a stone and a half to reach...

Oh love :bighug: Tomorrow is another day. Take this awful feeling and turn it into determination to never do it again. Maybe invest in a blender that's always at home and keep a few spare products so you don't reach for something else in future. Kill some for me on COD :) get some sleep and...

Yes there's a file - need to be your pc :) You did really well I'm impressed and bless your mum! :D xx

Aww, I feel for you...I put a pound on my second week and cried! Almost a stone in 2 weeks and more to come off next week :) Keep at it :bighug: xx

lol Well done for managing Harvester :) You enter your stats into the spreadsheet (which you can update daily or weekly) and it gives you all the percentages, BMI, percentages lost...etc etc lots and lots of info and gives you a projected goal date (which I like best :)). Also has bar charts...

Yes, need to be on pc or laptop I suspect xx

How you doing? I just found this spreadsheet and it's brilliant. Gives you so much information and what I like best - a projected end date! Thought you might like to try it. xx

Here you go, it's fab. Thanks very much.

Yeah, I've found myself clearing out odd drawers and cupboards lol. Variety is is the spice of life :) I really like like the mousse. I read a lot on how to make it as people seemed to struggle to get it right but followed a mixture of all the instructions and had success. Definitely need a...

Morning Angel I'm loving this quote "It's a long hard journey, don't make it harder my giving in" Youre sounding so positive, doing fab :) It's the weekend which I find hardest when my boys stay with their dad sometimes. Too much freedom lol. Going to put some water in the fridge and treat...

Not until Wednesday. Fingers crossed for you today. Let us know ASAP :) xx

Hi Vita Just read this and thought I'd return the favour and give you a :bighug: It does feel crappy I know but you know it will come off this week . . . Just keep swimming xx

Nosing around, hi :) Well done on your loss so far and good luck for tomorrow. xx

Hi angel. Thank you for reading my rant :) *comments whooshing over my head as advised* lol How are you getting along? All good I hope. xx

Well I've come to a decision this morning. I'm ignoring my CDC :p (childish maybe but she made me cross). Basically, at Wednesday weigh in, my CDC advised me to go down to ss! Wasn't happy with her suggestion because surely at my BMI I should lose weight on ss+. I have a small amount of milk...

Going to stick with ss+ for a while until BMI gets lower. If as I'm led to believe, my body is adjusting to the diet then surely messing around with it further won't help. So basically ignoring my CDC lol. I know how you feel, being embarrassed to exercise that is. Think I too will keep it to...

Happy chucking Flic lol. It will feel wonderful no doubt :) Hi Sophie. You're absolutely right when I engage logical brain. Just can't help feeling disappointed that's all. xx

Got weighed yesterday. Moaned in my diary cos it only made 2lb lost in two weeks so was sulking lol. My CDC advised me to go down to ss! Wasn't happy with her suggestion because surely at my BMI I should lose weight on ss+ it's only a bit of milk and 4 products so not overindulging making a...

Aww chin up luv :) You're doing great! Men eh?! Don't let him get you down, focus on what's important, your health and well being :) xx

Thanks Flic. Yeah, down instead of up :) fingers crossed for that whoosh. I notice you're going great guns, well done you :) xx

Thanks girls :) I know, it's almost a stone and that's great. I'm just terribly impatient, hence I'm doing cambridge as opposed to a different diet. Must find my inner peace lol. How are you both getting on? Xx

Well, back from my weigh in. Lost 3lb. Should be more pleased but not really happy with only losing 2lb in a fortnight. Hey ho, keeping swimming (literally in own bodyweight of water!) lol xx

LOL!! Added you, soooo funny xx

I work from home and play far too much TF2 lol. Keeps me occupied and do manage to fit work in sometimes ;) xx

Thanks Angel :) It does seem a mammoth task ATM but as you say just carrying on, nothing more for it. Gotta happen eventually. It has been 3 weeks now and sort of used to the plan, becoming a habit so to speak. Good luck with day 2 :) xx

Well done :) Know what you mean about needing a portaloo! lol xx

Hello ladies. Thanks for the encouragement. :) I'm doing ok thanks, if a bit grumpy because the scales refuse to move but carrying on regardless. Weigh in on Wednesday so fingers crossed. How are you all getting on? xx

So pleased you stayed strong, well done :) xx

Oh Ginzeh I hope you've had a better evening and have not succumbed to going off plan. I understand you're feeling unrewarded, I do too but that weight has got to come off at some point because we've been good girls :) Great advice from Flic. I only want food when I'm bored, it's not real...

Aww, I feel your disappointment. It's a mid-week weigh in remember. Real weigh in to come, don't worry. Get that water drunk :) Feel like I'm full to my eyeballs with water lol. xx

Oh sorry Flic, hope I haven't set you off worrying. I'm sure the lady in the shop knows what she's doing with your dress :) Bet you'll look fab in it. Thanks for the support. "Catch up body!" Lol xx

Awwww thanks Viita, thanks all. I really did need a pick me up. You've done brilliantly. Seems like all of you do, so I should be able to too. I refuse to be a fat bride! xx

Hi Viita you must've posted that at same time as my last post lol. Not having any problems with constipation and drinking lots. Thanks for suggestion though. You're almost at goal, well done you :) xx

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. I will persevere as don't really see an alternative tbh. Well done newby looby (4 stone down). I can't wait to try on some dresses. Only thing that keeps me focused. No idea what kind of dress I'd like so impatient to get an idea lol. I did talk to local...

Wrath alert! Lol. You tell em girl :) If chops, rice and peas is you birthday desire then so be it. Keep on track until then and you'll enjoy it more :) Know how you feel, dreading my next weigh in. I still haven't lost anything :( Just keep swimming, just keep swimming xx

Well the scales still aren't going down even though I'm sticking to the plan. Carrying on regardless as it's surely impossible to not lose weight eating so little. On the positive side I'm getting accustomed to the diet more I think. Rarely feel hungry, in fact in feel really full and don't...

Lol Flic! :) I know now what you mean Ginzeh. Not eating much all day then eating far too much at once when really hungry at dinner. Little and often is better. Hoping being on this diet will stop me going back to that bad habit too. Let us know how you get on later xx

Hi Flic, well done you. I agree re headspace and keeping on swimming :) Must get easier to a certain extent after a few weeks of readjusting habits. Ginzeh, well done you too for keeping on track especially with all those temptations. I made a mousse yesterday and it was really nice. Can't...

How are you getting on Ginzeh? xx

Well done :) Head is officially down and hoping for better next week. Good luck with ss. Probably for the best rather than "bitting and batting", might have been confusing your body. xx

Sorry you're having a bad day too. How did your weigh in go? i haven't cheated at all :( Having unexpected TOM so blaming that because I've been a very good girl. So disappointed xx

* Sezza takes out emotional brain and replaces with science brain* Yes, of course, you're right :) xx

I'm on the Cambridge Diet so not eating "real food". So no wrong choices made but would've been good advice if on another diet :) I do understand what you're saying but when you're as overweight as I am and having not cheated for a week, a gain in weight is extremely disheartening. Thanks for...

So upset right now. Had my week 2 weigh in and have put on a lb! Feel pathetic and can't stop crying. I honestly have not cheated, not one tiny bit. I have very light bleeding ATM (sorry for tmi) maybe that's contributing I don't know. I have the depo shot and don't normally bleed at all :s...

Good for you, doing it for yourself. I'm sure your other halves will come around when they see you happier and slimmer. Well you should be able to ss if that's what you prefer. Not sure about gum though, think something in it can interfere with the diet :s Better check :) I'm thoroughly...

Hi Tiffel Orlando fan club accidentally started lol. Well done on your loss so far. I'm just being a good girl and doing as I'm told re having milk and not doing ss just yet. Lost 10lb first week having 4 products plus milk a day, so thinking why punish myself any more. Will no doubt slow...

Yes, great motivation to look great on your big day. I bet you're so excited waiting for it to come and to model it in a smaller size! :D Daren't try any on myself, not yet. Maybe when I get down to a size 16; which I hope won't take too long. Would feel too embarrassed at the moment, I bet I...

Hi Flic Another bride to be :) You're doing really well. Can't wait to try on pretty dresses when I've lost some more weight. Have you been dress shopping or are you waiting a while? Got through the weekend keeping busy, starting to feel more positive again. Just takes some mental...

Morning :) My weigh in is tomorrow morning. Hoping I'll have reached the 1 stone mark (will breathe in when standing on scales lol). 5" off your waist, well done, I did same last week. Although, I can't tell tbh. You've a sweet tooth then, wanting pudding :) me too. Going to get mix a...

We'll done :D nice piccy Sorry been busy. Hope you're feeling brighter and have made up with bf. I find it hard not eating when preparing food for kids. I try and time it to coincide with my rice pudding and hide in another room until they're finished eating lol. Not very sociable but hey oh...

Lol @ nudist! If you've got it flaunt it ;) I live near Chesterfield tup north in Derbyshire. Enjoy your night, remember it's not about the food. Don't succumb to sharing in his cheating you're doing really well. I look at my cambridge products as medicine to make me better. Works for me...

We're getting married at Cypress Grove. Haven't been but it looks beautiful. I have been to Florida many times but not for about 8 years, my fiancé has never been. I love theme parks, love the rides but I was a size 12 then. Can't bear the thought of squeezing myself into a seat :/ Waterparks...

Well it's the weekend. Thinking about food too much. Not hungry just wanting, thinking etc. Its somehow more difficult because weekends tend to be more food orientated. Going out for a meal before the cinema for instance and cooking Sunday lunch for the family. Hey ho! I'll download some more pc...

I feel exactly the same about photos; don't even look in a mirror (other than my face) if I can help it lol. So want to look nice for my fiancé on our wedding day. Think how how much fun you'll have shopping for your holiday clothes next year:). You live in Orlando Fl? We're going to get...

It's fine as long as I'm busy. I opted for no food because if I have some I'll want more I know lol so easier to just say no for the time being. Also, I know I'll probably end up going ss when BMI is under 40, so may as we'll get used to not having it. That's just me though and I appreciate...

Yes, shush :p 5lb in 5 days! Couldn't ask for more :) Though I get your mentality as 5 stone would be fab! Lol. You'll get there. Doing step 2 like you but I don't have any food, I have an extra product cos of my BMI too. That was my choice though, as wanted to do ss but not allowed yet. Keep...

Hi. Well done on new purchase of size 16's. I bought loads of dresses in a 22 for summer hold too - trying not to think of wasted money but the thought of lovely new, smaller ones like you xx

Hi from another bride to be. Know how you feel not wanting to be a "fat" bride and worrying about dress fittings. I've decided not to even attempt trying one on til after christmas when hopefully I'll have dropped down a few sizes. Good luck to you xx

Good luck with your weigh in today. Laughed so much re email banning cakes-what a fab idea! Xx

You're making a good start then :) I felt very tired and achy days 3-6 but feeling much more alert now. So I'm sure you'll be over the worst of it soon. i started a diary too to keep motivated; will go and nosy at yours now lol. good luck to you too :bighug:

Thanks :) 1lb to go for you, we'll done! Here's to beautiful brides to be :D

Hi How are you getting on? Day 3 for you? The step 2 is working fine for me so I'm sure it'll work for you too :)

Hi everyone Just joined this site. What a great inspiration it is reading about everyone's successes and moral support. Thought I'd start a diary myself to keep motivated. Feel a bit shy about sharing but here goes :) We are going on holiday to get married in Florida next July with our two...

Hi. Just joined today. So encouraging reading everyone's stories and support for each other. :)

Hi. I started step 2 on Wednesday as my BMI is too high for SS. So, it's the morning of day 4 and I've lost 5lb so far! Like you 8 stone would be perfect BMI but I'm aiming for 6 where I'll be a healthy, curvy size 12, as I've been in the past. I was worried as wanted to do SS for quick results...
