Hi everyone :) been so busy with the kids being off this week that I haven't had time to post! I had my weigh in on Monday night, I lost 4.4lb but did have a disastrous weekend :( so disappointed in myself but also noticed that my attitude to food has already changed! I knew I didn't NEED the...

It almost end of day 3 and I'd definitely say I was in ketosis. I'm not hungry, but still thinking about food! My mouth tastes like I've been sucking on a tin can! And I'm sooooo tired! Can't wait to hear how you've done on weigh day, good luck x

Day 3 Well I've had all products for today. My day has gone like this... ...woke up with a very sore lower back, -think ketosis has kicked in too, so tired! 1 year old decided 4am-6am was play time! Tried to ease the pain with a shower after dropping the 15 & 11 year olds at school. It seemed...

Day 2 Well day 2 is almost over...I've had a chocolate mint shake for breakfast which was quite nice. I had rice pudding for lunch which was AWFUL and the mushroom risotto for dinner which was worse The risotto made me gag, I had to put it in my mouth, take a mouthful of water and swallow it...

Hi! I am feeling fine today, it's only day 2 though! I have had a chocolate mint milkshake and coffee and water! For lunch I'll be having rice pudding and for dinner mushroom risotto, I haven't tried either of them so not sure what to expect. Have you? When do you weigh? I weigh on a Monday night x

Thank you :) I have over 8 stone to lose but like you am determined I will do it this time! Good luck! When do you weigh in?

Hi everyone, I am a wife, and a mother of 3. My babies are 15, 11 and 1. I am just 2 months off graduating from university after 3 years. I am now focusing on me, and getting myself back to a reasonable and healthy weight. I am 5ft 5" and weigh 19st 13.5lb, my target is 11st. I did Cambridge in...

I am new to slimming world and have a question which might sound a bit daft but here goes... If a certain something that I want to eat is 500g and is syn free per 100g according to my app...does this mean the whole thing will be free or if I eat more than 100g do I then have to syn the amount...

Hi ladies, I went out on Saturday for my friends 40th birthday, we went for an italians....i had lasagne! No starter and no pudding, normally i'd have 3 courses....stuck to vodka lime and soda all night having only 4 drinks....that is not like me!! Anyway Sunday :( had sunday dinner at the...

The flavour of the mango was nice but it still made me gag, I think it's because I don't like the powder shakes in any flavour, the ready mixed ones are far better, for me anyway....enjoy your BBQ, when I go out I stick to vodka, lime and soda and still lose. I was told clear spirits plus clear...

Well day one of 100 %.....had a mango shake *yuck*, just about to have first mouthful of spicy tomato soup.......here goes......hmmm I could handle this, definitely! See I was just having 3 shakes per day, ready mixed cartons for easiness as I'm at uni but now I'm on holiday til September I've...

Hey littlemumma :) so how was the weigh in? I've managed to drop 5lb this week, cheating to the point of having a Chinese and going to a pub for a 2 course meal!! This week is week one on 100% ss so here goes......how's things been with you ladies? Xx

Stick with it littlemumma, see what your CDC says on Thursday and take it from there, you know what 1lb might not seem a lot now but you'll have lost more than that by Thursday and possibly inches! I've just finished day 1 of being 100% (I had some shakes left over from my naughty days) I'm...

I have been on and off it since January and this Thursday will be my fresh start (again......:sign0007:) Aaaah I need a kick up the ar*e and to have my mouth sewn shut :( good luck for thursday hun xx

Hi Littlemumma! My story is pretty much the same as yours, had 2 kids-size 8 when i fell with my first one, put on 3 stone. Size 10-12 when fell with my second 3 years later and went up to a 14. I'm now a size 18-20 weighing 16st :( My kids are older, I'm 28 and my kids are 11 (daughter) and 8...

Thank you! You too! I have just under 4 months to lose as much as possible!! Sounds impossible so fingers crossed! When do you have your first weigh in? My weigh ins are Thursday nights so if we are going to support each other we'll have to update our weights :) it's exciting!! xx

Hello and thank you :) on the Cambridge diet I will be having 3 ready mixed milkshakes, 3-4 litres of water per day and black coffee with no sugar! I have done it before and lost 4 stones in 3 months but finding it more difficult this time around as I am heavier than when I stared last time! I...

Ignore my signature and stats as this is not my first time posting a thread, i am 16st and due to get married on 22nd September. From experience how much weight can I possibly lose for this date? I want to lose as much as possible and starting Cambridge Diet sole source tomorrow. Any weight loss...

Thanks for replying, I feel a little better today, looking forward to Thursday (my weigh in day!) hope you are managing fine too. Tracy x

Hi, I have started CD for the 3rd time in as many years. My first attempt was a success and I almost got to goal weight having lost 4 stone. I'm now back with my 4 stones + 2 more!!!! My question is; since my circumstances have changed (I am now a full time mature uni student!) I decided I...

Hi girls, how are you all? Felix- don't worry about your weight gain, I was off it for one week and gained 4lbs! It came off as easy as it went on, you just need to get your head back in to it. How's the house hunting coming along? I had my weigh in tonight (a day early as my CDC is going on...

Hey all, I had my weigh in tonight and have managed to drop another 7lb! Meaning I've lost the 4lb I gained last week plus another 3! So chuffed with myself. To top it all off I went to college today to pick up my final grades and have finished the course with merits and distinctions which...

That dress is beautiful and the style really suits you! You should definitely keep it and wear it. I'll give you the same advice I got when I had my few days of over indulging- don't worry about it, just put it to the back of your head and think tomorrow is another day. Have fun this weekend! I...

Hi everyone hope you're all well, I've been on my shakes since my weigh in and been 100% ss until today! I decided to go with the family to granma's for sunday dinner.....I ended up having a chicken salad so I guess I have been ss+ today, hope that won't have too much impact on my WI on...

I like them all too! Thanks for the varnish info I'm going to get it soon for my end of college night out! And of course you can lose 2 inches in 12 days, I have faith in you :D x

Felix the colour you have on your nails is my favourite colour! My sitting room is this colour with black and cream, what make and name is that varnish I have to have it! x

Thank you both, I'm determined to lose it asap! Hope you get your interview Felix and Tano that's my plan, lose as much as possible on CD then join WW or SW as it's cheaper and I can reintroduce healthy food. x

Well I had my weigh in early as my son has come home from school with stars in theirs eyes tickets for me and him which starts at 6pm. My CDC kindly squeezed me in early, and as I predicted it's a rubbish result and I'm so disappointed in myself but that's what happens when you fill your face...

Hello all, so it's weigh in day today and my restart (again!) I wish I was as motivated as the first time I started CD! Restarting is always really difficult but it needs to be done, I had the most miserable time clothes shopping yesterday what with nothing fitting me/not sitting nicely and the...

Hello everyone, haven't been on here for a while as I have had a tummy bug, lovingly passed on to me from my son! He says he is happy as it means he has shared something with me and that that makes him very kind (bless his 7 year old mind!) I have been an absolute nightmare on my diet for a full...

Well done that's a great weight loss and you should be proud of yourself as a lot of ppl would have used the length of time away from CDC to snack thinking they had plenty of time to undo the damage haha. I didn't get weighed this week as my CDC ended up having to visit a poorly relative and I...

Felix I often have days when I feel like this even before I started the CD, I used to blame my 4 stone weight gain in 8 years but since having a consultation with my GP I have realised it's possible I could have inherited bipolar disorder from my Mum! My GP is setting up an appointment with a...

Just read that back and it almost came across like I was forcing my OH to have a Scottish themed wedding which isn't the case :D I was given this piece of advice from said OH "Just tell me where I've got to be and when.....and I'll be there!" so that to me was permission enough to plan the...

That house looks lovely Felix, I'm loving the built in BBQ!! imagine the summer parties haha, well today I've had one milkshake and 1 litre of water, yet again I've stayed at home while the kids and OH go to his granmas for dinner! I would have went but for some reason today I am feeling very...

Sorry to hear about the house Felix, hopefully you'll find something soon. Did your OH's friend eventually take the hint or is he still at yours? I went on my night out last night and on the advice of my CDC stuck to vodka and diet coke (she probably didn't mean for me to have doubles all night...

Thanks everyone, I'm over the moon with my weight loss, long may it continue though huh! Fingers crossed, hope you're all well and Felix I hope your spirits are a bit higher today hun x

Felix I'm so sorry to read that you're having a bad time hun, hopefully things will look up for you if you get your new house, which sounds amazing by the way! You should talk to your OH and let him know how you feel, I've been in this situation before with friends on sofas and fighting for...

Nobody has been on here for a while which is unusual, how are you all? I have my weigh in at 5pm tonight so I'll check back in later. Hope you're all keeping well x

I have still only had 2 milkshakes and 1 litre of water, I do still think I'm hungry......but maybe that's all it is, just thinking! I reckon it's all in my mind and I'm probably trying to adjust to not putting food in my mouth so changing habits I suppose. I went to the Doctors and ended up...

Glad you're feeling better felix! That bread sounds amazing, I don't think I'd be able to resist........I love bread!! I've had 1 milkshake today and 1 litre of water, this happened to me the last time I was on SS.. I stop feeling hungry and have to even force myself to have my 3 milkshakes...

Sorry to read you're not well Felix :( hope you feel better soon! When is everybody's next WI's mine is every wednesday so I'll update then. Thanks for advice last night girls, I managed to stay away from the food, drink my other litre of water and just go to bed! Phew! Anyway woke up this...

I've had two milkshakes so far, a cup of coffee and still only one litre of water. I'll manage to drink the rest before bed but will be up all night like last night going to the loo! Well done on Nando's Felix, you should be proud of yourself! I'm kind of wishing I had done SS+ instead of SS...

Thank you! So proud of myself for not caving in, just hope I can last until tomorrow :feedtroll: :8855:

Day 2- one milkshake down and 1 litre of water. Still have a pounding headache :( Felix well done for getting to day 4, just think of topshop and all their clothes that we've never been able to wear haha. Went to B&Q today with my son for some paint etc, thought it'd be quite a good way to...

Sorry MrsStaden just re-read your post and realise you are day 4! I've obviously just gave you a piece of useless info ha x

I'll be going to Northumbria Uni, can't wait! Temptation is a nightmare but my friend turned up for a cuppa so that took my mind off things! Hi to everyone else and welcome MrsStaden, once you get past day 3 you should start to feel a little better! I weigh in again on Wednesday, I'm already...

I live in Birtley which is just outside Newcastle. I go to Gateshead college which is even closer to Newcastle :D it was my last day today though :( I was doing an access course to get in to Uni which I have been successful in! At Uni I'll be doing an early years and disabilities 3 year degree...

Just noticed your OH is from newcastle, I live just outside NCL x

Just read your thread from beginning to end ha ha some amusing posts :P I started CDSS for the 2nd time today! Last time I weighed 14st 6lb when I started but due to health problems I had to stop. At the end I was 12st 1lb. I'm now 15st 6lb :( That was a year ago though. Day one going ok so far...

Day 1- milkshake number 2!! Eurgh! Been to college all day today to complete and hand in my final assignment YAY!! Managed to sit across the table from my fellow students tucking in to their fish and chips or lasagne and salad, there was me sitting with my bottle of water. Never mind; start as...

Just back from CDC and really feel like this is my time to slim! I nearly passed out with the heat a few days ago, how bad is that! I needed a kick up the butt and the fact that I couldn't take my 7yr old son to the park because the weather was too nice; made no sense to him and ashamed me! I...

Mentally preparing myself for the dreaded stand off with the scales! 4pm weigh in and I feel as though I've gained another stone in my sleep x

So I woke up this morning all psyched up to start today and then receive a text from CDC to say we have to reschedule until tomorrow as she is at a meeting GRRRR.......on the upside though I can have yet another "last supper" tonight! xx

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm hoping I find it bearable. I don't mind drinking all of the water it's just the feeling and the knowing that I have to be strict with myself and keep away from the carbs! My downfall is definitely toast and crisps. I am due to get married in september next year...

I am due to be weighed tomorrow afternoon to restart my diet, I will be going on SS as I found this easier the last time. I first began CWP last year when I weighed 14st 6lb, I managed to get down to 12st 1lb in 8 weeks which I was delighted with but then I ended up in hospital having to have my...

Thank you! I was on Cambridge diet before Christmas and had an amazing weight loss but also ended up with bald patches on my head and gallstones through rapid weight loss! This resulted in me having my gallbladder removed and at the age of 26 I now have IBS because of my lack of gallbladder :s ...

Apologise for spelling mistakes too! Stupid iPhone changes words without any warning! x

Hi I started slimming world today and I am using the mini mins app! I don't have a clue what in doing so I apologise if this is posted in the wrong forum haha. I weigh 15st and would like to be down to 10st 7pm by September 2012 as I am getting married then. Would just like to say hi and good...

Weighed in again today and yet again had the OMG feeling in the pit of my stomach as I drove to see my cdc.....I needn't have worried I lost another 4lb. I am loving this diet and wish I had done it yrs ago! Let me know how u all are getting on on your WI days x Tracy x

I really didn't want to add in food and I'm getting a bit nervous about the fact that I have to at some point move up the "steps" and start eating normally.....I keep thinking if I start to eat I'm just going to keep on eating and all my hard work will be undone quicker than I can even say the...

Thanks "NewYearNewMe" Isn't it strange how we have started off as roughly the same weight we are currently the same weight and our goal weight is exactly the same too.......keep in touch with me and let me know how you are getting on through this please Tracy x

Weighed in today another 3lb lost yippee!! And I haven't been very good this week as my gran and grandad were down from scotland so we went for a meal! I was planning on having a no carb meal but that went out the window when I spotted my grandads Garlic Naan Bread! Really suffered the next day...

Yh being naked always helps sarette (jewellery and all) ha ha and after the first wee of the morning I always find! I don't trust my scales in my house as in my bedroom I am always 2lb lighter than I am in my sitting room so guess where I weigh myself?! Also if I take my dressing gown off hey...

Yes that's what I thought as well, I didn't want to add in food but she advised it as she thought I might develop a fear of eating food which in a way I kind of understand as I have hated every minute of putting food in my mouth this week and I still don't feel right now. I feel as though...

Thank You, bk on ss this wk which I am pleased about as I didn't really enjoy eating which is very unusual for me. Has anyone else experienced this when they have been advised to eat after the 4th wk? when is your wi day Sarette? Tracy x

Hi weighed in today, lost another 3lb this week and another inch off my waist so absolutely delighted. Thanks for all your comments it really helps.... Woke up this morning with severe cramps in my stomach couldn't even stand up straight but it soon sorted itself out after 2 cups of black...

Going into my 6th wk on SS tomorrow! Although it is getting easier I still feel the need to have someone to talk to about what I (we) are going through.....feel free to leave comments on my diary about your triumphs/ troubles! My wi day is on a Monday so keeping my fingers crossed for...

I started the cd ss and into my 5th week of it. Having a ss+ week this week as my cdc is afraid I might start developing a phobia of food (as if!!) Get weighed every Monday so will gladly keep you all informed and I hope you all do the same. I was hoping to have somewhere I can type my...
