Thanks hun :)

I have been through some emotional shattering days. I gave up on CD last week. But I am all set to restart on Monday. My CDC has moved to so I have had to find another. *feels disappointed* :break_diet::break_diet::break_diet::break_diet::break_diet:

I had the same problem. I couldn't drink plain water. I have orange squash. few drops goes a long way. I can easily now have my 2-3 ltrs a day.

I need some info on bars. What flavours are available?

Hey there, first of all you've taken the bests tep to get your body back into shape. Secondly, we all have an issue with food hence we're all here. I also love chocolate and I have realised the chocolate shakes keep my cravings at bay. Whenever you need any advice hun come here and talk to us...

I've not cheated so far, I usually start my packs and water quite late like lunch time as I wake up late due to sleeping late. But being a Muslim I pray 5 times a day and today I prayed for everyone on the cambridge diet to succeed and be happy- so now the Lord is on our side- :-)

Count me in.... I have had a terrible day yesterday nothing is stopping me from going slimmer now- Lord save the cambridge diet queen:love047::love047::love047::love047:

awwe thanks guys yep next time I will make sure my brother doesn't ask me it's not his fault he doesn't know about my diet my other brother does so he doesn't ask me anymore. I did still have my 3 shakes as I don't want to deprive myself of the nutrients. Thanks a bunch guys :-)

I had southern fried chicken and chips- not all but that's besides the point. :( my brother called me and instead of saying NO THANKS I said I'm coming for some...

I don't if you all know but i have a little squash which keeps me away from eating other stuff...But hang on this is now why I created this thread. I am having my squash with full blast music and dancing away :D anybody care to join. I think it's a great way to keep the body toned as well as...

wow yes I can see the difference... WELL DONE!! You rock girl.. keep up with the good work :-)

I'm happy to hear you're feeling better.Sometimes it helps to hear few good words and that is what we are here to do- make each other feel better. You're husband does seem like a sweet guy to treat you. I think it's important to treat ourselves now and then. It would still work out cheaper...

Awwe hun I'm sorry that you feel like this. As Tasha said, try calling your CDC and see what she/he says :( I am sorry I can't help much hugssss- I hope you feel better soon.. xx

Great going. Best of luck and you know you can always come to us when you need it or even if you don't just come and say hi, you never know where you learn what :-)

hehehe let me lose some weight then you can carry me, I'm a little heavy at the moment :D:D

When you click on you've gone 1 new message rep, it takes you to a page scroll down and you can see, but only if they mark their name.. XX p.s. thanks for the rep hunn :D

Hey there Ktcooney, well done to you for not eating at the events. So you ate for few days and then got back on track- well done again (for getting back on the waggon). Being from a Pakistani ethnic background I've always been conscious about what people will say. In fact most Pakistanis are...

awwwe Tasha thank you soo much.. I do get philosophical at times but I am in the same boat. We can only expect to be helped when we can help others too. If my posts are of any use I can post all day- it would give me emense pleasure to help someone here. :-)

Whatever it is in life we make mistakes. After all we are human right. We don't scream at ourselves when we break a glass, we sigh get a brush and clean up and try to be careful. We don't burst into tears when we've spent a little more than we've anticipated, we learn to manage our finances...

Slimwannabe who's a gonnabe.. thanks hunn... my mother isn't that bad but because I have history of cancer and she has seen me suffer a lot she just feels sorry for me. But after my father has explained to her why I am doing this she is now considerate. But yes, we are all here for one purpose...

Hun we've all done this- minus few extra-ordinary people. So don't be hard on yourself, learn and move on. Hugss

Aww sweetheart huggss... I know how it feels. But remember once you've lost all the weight you'll look fantastically sexiously delicious and nobody will be able to take their eyes of you not even your mother. We all feel down it's natural. I was at the gym today and I felt so disgusted at my fat...

I agree with you katie. I will give it my best shot. I am on depressing chocolate shakes for the whole week. I will try different stuff especially th tetras and bars next.

Although it's not recommended but I use a bit of orange squash as I hate the water flavourins :(

lol girl you scared me.. I hated the tetras before wil try them again...lol xx

plus when we're all slim and sexy we'll have a great sex life :D:D

Hey babes, we've all be through this at some point or another and in the past we've found comfort in food and hence we're al here. It can be difficult when we've used food to take away our misery and now it's not an option, but instead of thinking about it divert your attention. Do other things...

Well I won't be too far away. So I can always hope for the best :)

I started yesterday after a break.. :(

I'm sorry you have to face such prejudice. But can't you marry wthout hs approval?

Is it possible to lose 3 stones by the end of april?:sigh:

Is it possible to lose 3 stones by the end of April? :sigh:

Hey guys, thanks or te support, I am very much better now and having my first shake as I'm typing. My determination levels are at peak and I will sticking to it. Wish me luck :)

Thank you to you both for the moral support. I will be back on the track on tuesday and I can't stop mother nature but I can certainly stop myself from going into any plunges. :) hugss to you both..

Hey guys, since my last post I have been in hospital and only came out yesterday. My body collapsed due to and undected viral infection. I am on antibiotics till monday and then can resume back to CD on tuesday. I feel so low ad wonder will I ever succeed in losing 3 stones till the middle of...

If you want to tone your body then stick to toning exercises, i.e. sit ups, push ups, brisk walking, weights etc. Don't go hard on yourself and do a full hour on the treadmill.

I'm at the local gym (fitness first for women). I don't do any cardio instead I use the PowerPlate and Hypoxi. Both are good for muscle buildingand toning the stomach and body.

Welcome back hunny. Well done on losing 6 stones. I'm aiming to lose around the same amount in 4 months too. I am going to Pakistan for 3 months in May and I want to be slim and sexy. Do come here for support and advice.

Great Nellis, I think you should steal your mum's poer plate, it's fantastic. Swimming would be ideal too but unfortunately I can't swim :(. It's great to lose weight and tone up. So lets join hands and tone ourself up and become sexier ;)

I'm exactly the same. But I've realised (althogh not approved) I use Robinson's orange in my water and I candrink 2-3lts a day and I don't feel hungry at all. Have a go. It works for me.

I know many CDC's advice to take it easy on the exercise but I have found something which is fantastic. Power plate and Hypoxi. Power plate helps to move the muscle and strengthen them whilst Hypoxi break down the fat around the waiste, stomach, buttocks and hips. I think it's important to do...

Beccubug, thanks hun, I will surely come here for more support. I am really adament to lose the weight this time.

Thanks for the support guys, it really means a lot to me. The robinson helps me keep the water down which in effect keeps me away from food as I don't feel much hungry. I have four months to lose 4-5 stones. I hope I can work it through this time.

Hey folks, I am back after battling with cancer and a broken relationship. I restarted yesterday but I can not drink water. I can't drink it plain or with the sweet mix. So I have added a little bit of Robinsons Orange Sugar Free. I know it's not allowed but that is al that keeps the water down...

I don't know what to do. I just can't drink the water, the flavourings are of no help. :( Can I drink Coke Zero to minimise my cravings :( Somebody suggest something. I really need to get back onto track.. I restarted few days ago and I just can't drink the water and I feel dizzy all the time...

I don't know about weightloss but muscle increases so you may see an increase on the scales but fat content will be down. I love my exercises, and my doctor concluded I have 62% muscle which he was ecstatic about.

Hey Kirst, we all do things for a different reason, you've learnt that you don't eat for hunger, so something else must have triggered off the need to eat. What you can do is identify the trigger and try to eliminate it from your life. Don't cry over spilt milk, just clean it up and learn from...

thanks guy, I see my new cdc on wednesday and I am left without packs but I am not eating rubbishly. I hope I can get back on track ASAP.

hey guys, been away for some time. I have been in and out of hospital and extremely ill. My CDC showed so support so decided to change her. Seeing a new one on Wednesday and she sounds really nice. Wish me good luck

Although I am not a mother (yet) I can feel what Jade went through. I was diagnosed with cancer last year and underwent surgery. She was the same age as me, few months older. I don't know what to say but I hope her sons can be proud of their mother.

I don't exercise intensively. I just do it to tone my body, but I want to increase it a little. I love it though.

lol no, you just lay down and they do all the work. Seriously you should try them out, they are fab.

Toning tables tone different part of your body. Some aim at the abdominals, some legs and etc. They are excellent and so relaxing. I love them

This week I have been hitting the gym and although I haven't been doing intensive exercise, I feel so good. I am sleeping properly, I am having all my packs and my water. i feel great. I love it. I love the toning tables, they really do make a difference. Has anyone else been to the gym or...

I feel like crying. I don't like anything lol gosh I am so fussy lol

awwe hunny, It takes me hours to eat one bar. They fill me up. You can have some of mine :(

Am I the only one who hates the peanut bar. I have to have water to swallow it down. It's ok when you first put it in your mouth but chewing it for like 3 seconds makes it taste as though it has passed it Sell By Date. Eugh!!

wearing a beautiful red and black sari with my hair down open and the wind blowing them against my face

it takes me a whole day to get through a single bar and sometimes I am unable to finish them. I don't feel slighly hungry with them.

I hate the tetras, i won't be having any of those from now on.

Awwe thanks guys, I think I have learnt my lesson too. I really do feel sick with consuming these fatty foods. I will be getting into some toning exercises too. Wish me good luck.

Awe guys thanks a lot. The thing is although I had the wrong food, being an asian we don't really cook healthy, I felt sick after eating a little (Compared to how much I ate before) I really want to get back into CD I really do. I think tomorrow I will get back into it and always take my bar...

My grandmother passed away during the early hours today, we had to rush down to birmingham and spent all day there-without my packs which I totally forgot about. I had to eat and I did. I don't know what to do. I am emotionally and physically depressed.

That is so good hun, keep it up x

I started my periods yesterday, and to be honest I don't feel hungry at all. Confusing huh.

Thanks guys for the support. I had the bar-caramel wasn't that bad, the choc-orange was disgusting and so was the choco tetra. Agh I guess I will have to do something about it. I am sorry if I sound fussy but I'm not, I just don't like them :(

You're so right, I have lost almost a stone and I can see the difference it has in my appearance and my mentality.

After having a bad week I managed to lose 5lbs which I am ecstatic about. I am now having a tetra, bar and one shake plus 200ml of milk a day. I hope I have a better week :)

How do you guys make the porridge? I tried to blend it in the blender and it came out vile. Eurgh

hey likealobster, sometimes I feel really stupid in asking questions so I just wait till someone else does heheh. I am on SS+ diet where I am allowed the milk but I don't take the extra pack or have any chicken plus veg. I think I will be having Shake for breakfast, Bar during the day and...

is it possible to leave the Tetras in the freezer over the week?

I will let you guys know how it goes with the CDC tomorrow. May be I can change one of the shakes for tetra and the other for a bar. My water intake is good.

Well I was diagnosed with cancer last year and the doctors are saying I still have the cells in my body (they know about CD and have no problem). I will speak to my CDC tomorrow and see what she says. I hate all the shakes, haven't tried the tetra or the orange choco. What do they taste like?

For the past few days, I haven't managed to drink my 3 packs. In fact even when I am having 2 packs I spill some of it away. I feel hungry but not to the extent where I will cheat or have food. I know I need to have my three packs but I just can't. I feel weak-ill almost, pain in my chest, my...

Thanks Lucky, I will ask my CDC when I see her next.

Red Mich, huggs hunny, I am really sorry to hear about your father, I hope he gets well soon MRSA is a nightmare, I hope he gets through this fine. Well done on losing 2lbs even though you've been eating. This is an opportunity for you to realise that once you're off CD you can still...

I have heard few people talk about mousse, what is it? My CDC never told me about any mousses. :confused:

I'm glad it doesn't have much effect on weight loss. I know I need to have all my food packs. I am having my WI on saturday, I will ask for bars to replace one of the shakes. i have tried them all and I don't like them at all. They are to rich for me.

For the past few days I have been unable to have my full three packs and been spilling most away. I am not hungry but today I felt like a change so got myself some Coke Zero. How do you think this will effect my weight loss. I feel hopeless :cry:

LOL SB you never know till you don't ask hehehe :D

I don't mind changing over to skimmed milk, and Sleepy you can sure have some of my milk as long as you take some of my fat with you :D joking.

hey hunny welcome to the kingdom of success. 8lbs in the first week is excellent, well done.

I can't wait till I have mine either which is on monday too. I am going to have one a day as I dread the shakes :( I hope it doesn't effect my weight loss :(

ohh thanks for letting me know. My CDC advised me that I could have SSM. Thanks

:confused:Hey guys, I am having semi skimmed milk as I am on ss+. Am I ok to do this? Or should I switch to skimmed. :rolleyes:

My CDC said I can have Semi Skimmed, I am not sure about other CDCs

LOL Sleepybird, I bought 500ml of semi skimmed milk on saturday adn I still half of it left. the sell by date finishes on the 27th so I have couple of days lol.

you're always welcome hun, need anymore information, give us a shout :)

I haven't had a problem with bad breath to be honest . Try some sugar free mouth refreshers.

I hated the porridge- tried both and I just can't swollow it. I guess everyone has their own taste.

I am on SS+ and I have 3 packs and 250ml of milk. Although must admit 250ml of milk a day is to much for me.

awwe, it's awful to go through this as it can be embarassing, but instead of my mouth burping my stomach does and it can be so embarassing. I hope it goes away.

Hey Flobble, you're not the only one who feels like this. Everyone who is or has been on this programme has felt like this at some point. I can only tell you it will ge better. I can share some tips with you on how I tackle these thoughts. 1- Write down your thoughts, it can help and you'll be...

awwe hunny hugss.. I hope you get better soon :(

Thanks Hugs, I was on lighter life and to be honest although the theraphy is good you can get it from a book and from people here.

I am on ss+ so whenever I feel hungry I drink tea. I have a shake late morning, one in the late afternoon and one late at night.

Well Done hun, keep it up.

Hey Jambro, welcome on board. I lost just under 6lbs in my first week so the weightloss is really good. My user name is actually my name.

I am on SS+ but I have 3 packs and 250ml of milk. In fact I would say it takes me 5-6 days to drink 500ml of skimmed milk. I enjoy the fact I can have tea. I am not going to increase the packs, three is too much at times. I don't want to eat any chicken yet till I don't get to week 13.

As far as I know, you have to consume the shakes within 10-15mins so I very much doubt you can freeze them. But may be someone more experienced or a CDC can help.

This is a great idea- instead of treating ourselves to food we can buy different things I want to lose about 4 stones 1st Stone = Shoes 2nd Stone = Shoes and Hand bag 3rd Stone = Great Clothes 4th Stone = Holiday :D wish me luck

My mum's worse she gets emotional and teary lol. But I know it's because she loves me and feels I may get sick. My father on the other hand is excellent and always steps in and tells her why I am doing it and to support me instead. He has gone to the extent of asking my mum not to cook any food...

Yes you can. You need to tell yourself everyday that, A) you can do it and B) why you want to do it. I am not saying it will be easy, there will be times you want to give up but at those moments you need to come and talk to us all and assure yourself that you are a much stronger person than food...

yep it might take couple of days to get back into ketosis, but only few seconds to get back into CD. It's all in the mind. Teach yourself from your mistakes and hopefully you'll be just fine. I've decided to keep myself preoccupied with music and desperate housewives lol. We are all here to...

awwe that's really good, be proud and keep up with the excellent job

:D LOL I feel exactly the same. I try to get rid of the poison as soon as I can. I pray to GOD once they have finished. I dread drinking the next one. LOL Thank God I am not the only one lol

awwe hun, you have every reason to be happy. Well done and keep up the great work.

I haven't tried the berry flavour but the orange is delicious. I love it. Sometimes when I am hungry I just drip my finger into it and lick it off. It's the best. I hate all the shakes and soups even the poridge.

I've had the burning sensation and has been quite painful :( I hope it gets better

ahh I see.. lets get posting

hey there, don't beat yourself up hun, just learn from it. I've been through a tough and rough week and there was a point where I thought, I'll just give up. But I am taking tomorrow as a fresher day. Just look past and learn and you'll be fine.

Thanks a lot guys for the massive support. I have had a terrible week but I am glad it is at the initial stage. i am only in week two so I have the best opportunity to climb back. I have decided to give tomorrow a fresher look. What has happened I can't change but what I have control over is...

Katycakes, big hug back hun, thanks. It does really put things into perspective and we learn to appreciate things we once took advantage of. I won't allow it to dominate my decision of losing weight. Yes I have given in but it could have been worse and I have to pull myself up and get back into it.

Hey guys thanks for the support and advice. I am going to hold it in and learn from my silly nibblings. I will start fresh again. I'm not going to let this disease fail me. :)

I'm a size 14 from top and 16 from bottom, I'd like to be a 10 overall. I wish.

Thanks Lostris I really appreciate it. I feel like giving up. I went through a nightmare last year I don't want to go through it again.

For the past few days I have been nibbling, I feel so tired and exhausted. I ate a bar of chocolate and half a sandwich. I was diagnosed with cancer last year and the doctors are now saying the cells are still present in my body. I just don't know what to do :cry:

As far as I know, as long as the packs are dry(as in the substance) you can divide them.

Thanks guys, I think I will take something tonight to get morning relief and then top my water intake. I drink a lot of tea I thought I should have gained some water from there.

I am in agony because of constipation- sorry guys, but I'm really in pain :cry:

had my first weigh in today, although it's my 6th day, I have lost 5.75 lbs. :)

I'm def going to try the sparkling water today. Does the 4 pints include the water we use to make up the shakes or is it seperate. I am going to try my best to keep up with the water consumption, don't want constipation. Is diet coke allowed? I would love to drink that. How does it effect...

Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I think I will do that too, keep a bottle. Plus will try out sparkling water with the drink mix.

hey hunny, don't worry about it. Everyone is an individual. I myself am having a horrible time. I don't feel any energy whatesoever. But I am pretty sure it will get better. Just remember your goals and think of how you would feel once you've lost the weight. Good luck hun and keep in touch

the water flavourings are good. I sometimes just start licking some.

WOW WOW WOW, That is bloody good- sorry about lingo but you have every right to blow your own horn hunny. Well done

Hunny you're not a failure, you're just human-someone who has made a mistake and has owned upto it and has realised where they have gone wrong. Don't beat yourself up instead learn where you've gone down and bring yourself up. We only learn from our own mistakes.

Hey guys this is my first week- started on monday. The shakes are fine- enjoy the Choco-Mint one, I have strawberry, choco and butterscotch- don't very much like the others. I am having a problem with the water consumption :( I am making the shakes with around 400-500ml water and have a cuppa a...

Hey folks, I am really interested in Joing CD but I am not sure what to do.Also if you could tell me how much does it cost and what will i get. Thanks :o:)
