Guys, I have some bad news I'm afraid. I'm having to leave the team as my husband and I have decieded not to do the diet at all anymore. I was finding it ok but he was so unbearable that we were arguing none-stop and as I know that I cannot do it alone, I'm coming off it too. Sorry to mess you...

Hey Nicki, thanks for being so honest in your post. It's really refreshing when people open up on here as a lot of them don't and you kind of feel like you're on your own in it all. Your job sounds very interesting, better than mine just at home all day long! I've had a bad day today with the...

Ok, we were posting a bit too much on the advertising board so I thought as I was online I'd just start our new team thread. Although were all not sure on the name yet...they said the mods can change it later so I just put this down so you'd all recognise it. I'll send each of you a pm with a...

Hi, is there room for one more at all? I'm a CD restarter and am needing a team who post regularly as I find this really helpful.

Hi, sorry I havent been on in the last week. I was away at family's house. Basically I'm sorry to be leaving the team...I know it's short and sweet but my head really isnt in the right place for the diet. I tried it for a few days and couldnt get back into it very easily. I might give it a...

Hey Lin, I was wondering about that but wasn't sure about the losenges, I'll check it out.

Hi girls, good to see you're all a team that chats during the day and doesn't keep quiet as I'm on here a few times a day while the twins nap. Not going too bad for me so far this week. I don't normally smoke either but I do when my Dad and stepmum come to stay as I'm more of a social...

Hi, I'm Kate and CD returner after 6 weeks off. I took a bit of time away from it as I was on holiday and then had family staying. I was planning on maintaining but, well that didnt quite go according to plan! I'm starting again today and need all the support I can get so if you'll all have...

Hi team, well I've made a decision....after much umming and ahhing, I'm leaving the team and CD for a bit. I can't concentrate on the CD at the moment at all, my head isnt in the right place with it and I keep wanting to eat so bad that I end up eating loads of really bad food. I'm coming over...

Anyone in Ireland with any size 18-20 clothes going at all? Thanks

Hi all, I'm currently on ss and am hoping to see it through to the end. I'm wondering how people are finding it on maintenance? How many cals are you allowed and what kinds of foods do you tend to eat? Thanks

Wow, congratulations, what a great loss!

Don't worry Wilma...tomorrow is a brand new day! Glad you are doing ok today Trisha, I've had an ok day too thanks. Very tempted to break the diet tomorrow night and get a 'healthy chinese'. If there is even such a thing. I know it would be stupid though as I'm off the diet for a few days...

haha, heres another one just for good measure, I'll be up to 50 posts in no time. Might as well reply to you all individually to get my posts up!. BTW, it's my totm and I'm up a pound today. NOT IMPRESSED!

Trish, you sound like you need a hug! It must be so hard when you have to say goodbye to your kids as they grow older. I cant imagine not living with my daughter and not knowing where she is every second of the day. It'll be hard at first but it'll get easier. And think of all the spare time...

Awww, Wilma, I bet you're a young grandma and the kids/grandkids wont know whats hit them once you reach your goal weight! If you're anything like my grandma...she's blonde and as young as anything, she goes out drinking to folk clubs with my grandad and is a right laugh. Being a grandma means...

Where are you going on honeymoon Abz?

Well done on the losses so far Abz and Bevy! Thats brilliant! I always weigh myself each day but I dont trust the difference in mine and cdc scales, so I cant wait for my weigh in each saturday! Bevy...thanks, I have one other daughter, a 3 year old. I was always very lucky that I was so...

Hi, does anyone know when I'll be able to post a profile picture? I get the feeling it's once I've done 50 posts, but this isnt written anywhere. What other things will I be able to do once I've reached 50 posts? Or is it more? I cant even contact an administrator to ask as it wont let me...

Hi, I was wondering why there arent many LL councellors in the ROI? I really wanted to do LL and have ended up doing Cambridge instead as there are only a handfull of them operating in Ireland at the moment. I'm glad I found this forum though as it's helping me with the CD.

It's great reading this thread as it just goes to show you that the diet works as so many people are close to their target. I have quite a bit to go yet but keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hi Emmie, How are you finding the diet so far? I know I found my first week quite hard so hoping you are ok this week newmaks

Hello all, I've been doing this diet for a month now but still havent introduced myself to everyone else apart from Team 3! So hello to everyone! I'm Kate, living in Ireland with my husband and 3 children (one 3 yr old and 6 mnth twins) and so far I've lost 20lbs on ss Cambridge Diet. I'm...

Thanks Wilma! I'll give it a go now. Lilsam...can you please just remind me what you weighed last week in lbs as I have down a much different figure than your starting weight on your profile. Well done on the loss too, you're losing it nice and fast!! Cheers, newmaks x

Hey Wilma, the twins are just 6 months old this week. I've been trying to put a few pics on here but I'm not sure how to. Especially a profile pic. Do you know how? You know you should change your cdc if you feel you're not getting the support you need from them. At the end of the day they...

Hey guys, keep your chins up...we're all still coming on here at least so it shows were all still willing! :D Wilma and Trisha, dont worry about the break in the diet, see what the weigh in says. I bet it's not half as bad as you think. Just keep on going! Bev...fingers crossed for you...

Hi Abz, good to see you're still with us. Just let me know when you'll be starting back properly again and when your first weigh in will be. How is everyone else doing this week? You're all being very quiet...:ignore:

Thanks guys, had a crappy day so the nice comments are making me feel better already! I flipped out today when my 3 year old wouldnt eat the delicious tea I'd made her. It does my head in when I cant eat and she wont eat...doesn't she know how good she has it??!! ;) Stayed on it though...

Hi lilsamyantha, we'll just take the original weight loss from last monday and see how we go on next week if thats ok....lets take advantage of your 8lb loss!

Hi Abz, Happy belated birthday for yesterday! :D Hope you had a great day. Dont know if you know but I'm the new Team Leader for team 3. I dont have access to pm yet so I'm having to ask you here I'm afraid. I know you put on a pound at the beginning of the week...are we using that as your...

Wow, Wilma, thats an amazing loss!! Bevy and Trisha have done great too, and with an 8lb loss in your first week, Lilsamyantha is def on the right track! You're all so close to your goal weight that I'll have no team left by the end of this! Everyone has done brilliantly this week, I just...

lilsamyantha....you're in! Let me know how much you've lost this week and how much you weighed in pounds before this loss. I need the results asap as I need them to be in by 6. Cheers

By the way, results have to be with the mods by Sunday at 6pm so I need some kind of weigh in from everyone for this week. It's up to you how you work it out. If you got weighed in last tuesday then you can put that one down, or you can do a last min one for yourself. Whichever is best for...

Hi Team! I'm not able to access pm's :sigh: as I have to have posted 50 posts on here first so if we can all just post them on this thread this week then I'd be greatful. Should be up to 50 posts by next week if I push it and then we can go back to pm'ing. Is that ok with everyone? Well I...

Hi Irene, I'm taking over team 3 as team leader. Can I just ask...is it 6 in total per team (including me) or me and 6 other members? Also, how do I pm you the results? I dont see a tag for private message anywhere? Also, what results do you need? Anything else I need to be doing as team...

Is everyone else fine if I take over as leader then? I'll sort out details and numbers and stuff and find out what I do with weekly weigh ins and get back to you all by tonight. Off for my weigh in, in a bit. Wish me luck! Has anyone heard from ZoBo lately? Is she still in team 3? So...

If no-one wants to take up the role then I'll do it...only if no-one else wants to though as I dont want to be stepping on anyones toes. It might be the kick up the arse I need. What does it actually involve? Just a thought :rolleyes:

Hey team, not been on here lately as I've had the week from hell! The whole family have had a bug :jelous: this week and It was my turn on Wednesday. Came off the diet yesterday morning as I didnt see the point. I've been fairly good though so back on again tomorrow now that I'm better. Weigh in...

Well done to all the losses so far this week! I, myself cannot believe that I have managed to stay on ss these past few days. My whole family have a stomach bug and I've been feeling so weak myself that I've been so close to eating so many times. Still not drinking enough though. I'm so...

Thanks Wilma and Trisha, 4lbs is a good loss I guess, it just can't come off fast enough for me! I can't wait till I can get down to a size 16 again, just to shop in 'normal shops'! How is everyone today? I'm looking after my sick 3 year old. She's got a bug...hopefully only a 24 hour one...

My weigh in was today and lost 4lbs, total weight loss in two weeks is 13lbs.

Had my weigh in today and I've lost another 4lbs. NOt as much as I thought it'd be as I feel much better in my clothes this week. Still, better than nothing! On a bit of a downer this evening due to being so hungry. Weirdly, I find it helps loads if I cook tea for everyone else in the...

Please can I be included in the weekly weigh in? I started cd ss 100% on 5th Jan and have so far lost 9lbs. Next weigh in is on saturday. Whats this about being able to have diet coke? Is someone able to please list the exact products you can include on ss as so far I've only been told sugar...

Thanks everyone! Sorry to hear about that Caryl, good feedback is always better than none though so it sounds promising for the future.

Hi, I heard there are 2 new spaces for this team. Am I too late to join? I started CD on 5th Jan and have lost 9lbs to date. Next weigh in on Sat and I'm quite looking forward to it. It's my second time round doing CD after a good few years break. I lost a couple of stone last time but as...

Hey guys, I'm still looking for a team to slot into if thats possible. I only log onto here once a day in the evening so if someone see's this, pls grab me as I'd love to be part of any team! Thanks, Kate x

Hi, I started on 5th Jan and I'd love to join a team please. Had my first weigh in after 5 days and I've lost 9lbs so far. Could really do with the support. Cheers Kate
