I'm a big drinker to... but over the last week or so, my tummys not wanted the water quite as much, so been drinking a little less... will try to make sure I drink what I should. You have done great. Wish I could say I love the diet, but I am afraid I don't any more. It has been so much...

Your weight loss is great, how much water have you drank a day and how many shakes.

Thanks Guys.. my bmi is still high 34... :cry:... I have thought about kick starting it again, but will it move again without this. I really do need to lose another st, or my clothes really won't fit.... I just don't know what is best. I fly 5 weeks today..... Are there any CDC who have...

Help..... Well it is now week 14 for me and wish I could start on a happy note, but you know I really do feel that I am going to get stuck with losing 1-2lb a week and that just isn't going to give me the 1stone I really do need before I go on holiday to get my new clothes to fit for my...

Well done on your weight loss, just had a look at them, brilliant. XXXXX

Yes I think you are right, I will give it a few more days and see how I feel then. Thanks for the advice, it is good. If I go see Dr, he will tell me to come off diet... I know. He is helpful and wouldn't stop me doing the diet, but if I was feeling unwell he would tell me to stop. XXXX

When I did CD 2 years ago my kids didn't notice, this time they have. I am having a dreadful time with them, they don't know why I have shakes, they haven't been told I am on a diet or that I am trying to lose weight. They haven't commented on my weight loss (before when I lost it, or that I put...

lol... people are so rude... Another is from my sister.... I lost weight years ago and she said, pleased you lost weight, I didn't like to tell you how big your bum had got. Like what is to gain from her saying that......

lol......

Not to worry, sure I will be feeling better soon, it is really pissing me off, though as I want to do so much to the house and with the kids, they will soon be going back to school... and I love having them at home.

Thanks and I would but she is away at the moment. I really wanted to avoid going up the plans now espeically if it isn't that what is making me feel shitty as my hols are so close now and I will be working up them in 4 weeks any way. My tummy feels yucky as well and full up, even when I'm...

Hi Just after some other experiences/advice from you guys if that is ok. I've been doing the CD for nearly 90 days, not cheated once, nearly always drink between 4 & 6 ltrs a day, (I do drink alot any way). I've lost 4stone. For the last 5 days I've felt really tired, bloated, headaches...

lol..... Bless them they have good intentions. I lost 7 stone and put on 7 and a bit, the only person to say I had put some weight back on was my Grandad.... It must be their heart felt good intentions for you.

God yes. People mean well, but there well meaning comments make you feel **** really. I had just that from, 2-3 men saying they would marry me now, (of course they were joking as they were hubbys friends), but hell, I am the same person. Others said how wonderful I looked, etc etc etc etc...

Thanks Ali , I'll try my doctor if my ankles don't get better over the next couple of weeks. I will have to pop an see him so any way, so I can ask him. I don't think my blood pressure is high, but it may be low, if often used to run low. So he may not give me them. I only have 6 weeks left to...

I don't think that is true, but I may be wrong. Carbs in your glycogen stores do retain more water and initial weight gain going straight from SS to eating will be alot of water, which comes with the carbs/glycolen. something like for every glycolen oz, you retain 2 oz of water, figures most...

Just wondering if anyone else has any info. I have terrible swollen ankles... need to do something. Thought about going to the Doctor, but coming off the diet isn't going to happen just yet...

Does anyone else know any more about this, just why can you not have them and are there any exceptions. Help.....

Really I didn't know that.... I'll have to double check with my CDC may be she didn't understand me.

Lovely to hear from you. I am on nearly every day just in the hidden away SS no food mention area... lol..

Hi Just wondering if water tablets from the Doctor help with water retention whilst on the CD as I know the packs have a directic in them. Any thought would be great. Thanks.

Ahhhhh You sound like me....... I'm always worring about the weight not coming off. In fact I've moaned to my hubby about it I actually had to tell him it was working as I had lost 3stone in 8 weeks, up until that point I had grumbled such a lot he thought I had lost about a stone... The...

Ahhh sorry you feel so bad..... and heres thinking I can't wait to get in the 13s. LOL... You are in good company on here, what ever your diet you will find help. Good Luck, you can find me around the Cambridge Diet pages mostly.

Thanks Jim :D Just clocked what diet you follow.... wow, lots of food. My hubby love Meat Loaf... You look ace by the way.... really good, bet you have inspired lots of chappys to take the plunge and shift the pounds.

Thats really interesting KD, I love seeing what healthy weight people eat. Intersting to read you tried to maintain at a higher weight before . People always say to me, (not now, but before when I lost nearly all of what I wanted to), that I should just really try and maintain it there as I...

All these lovely people have already said it.... Now you know how I feel KD..;) :character00148::psiholog::vibes::whoopass::slap::secret::party0038::wow: You spend time doing all the above on here... Thank the lord you like forums.... Many congratulations, I remember seeing your posts...

Yep the bad moods are normal. I had some really shocking bad moods during the first few weeks and still get some now at times. When I'm tired and a bit stressed normally.... Ahhhh.... If you miss at work, have the ones you missed when you get home it doesn't matter what the time is. Also if...

Hmm that is some thing you shouldn't do, our brain say the less we have the more we lose but it doesn't always work like that. You need the vitamins and minerals and all the other good stuff in the shakes, also they have a dirretic, (can't spell that at all...), in them so you may be holding...

Thats a new one, drinking more water when your totm... Did you stay the same this week, or was it just over a few days. The weight loss will be happening, even if it doesn't show on the scales. It is impossible not to lose weight when you stick to it 100%.. XXXXX

lol.... tell me about it, same for me at the moment and last night I felt dreadful, really could have eaten the house... but this morning I've lost another 1lb... so hey it is worth it in the end. xxxxxx

You are doing really well, it isn't easy. I have found that mostly after the first couple of weeks you don't crave the naughty things half as much. It is more of a fancy something and some times it is strange. I fancied sardines on toast...:eek: last time I did it.. I hadn't eaten them for...

Hiya Ahhh sorry to hear about your honeymoon being postponed.... :cry: You could always spend a week in bed.... with a bottle of champagne.... (after the diet of course..:D) We are going to the Canaries. And I can't wait, as long as I can move some of this fat off my body in time..... I'm...

Hi Re the gum..... I wouldn't if you could help it, is tricks your tummy into thinking it is having food and when it doesn't get it, the cravings can be worse.... as per my CDC :-) Well with that cheery news.... I wanted to say, strange dreams seem to be really normal, especially during the...

Thanks KD :grouphugg:

Ah Thanks KD, please don't be to shocked at my plan :hide: I didn't mean to swear... saying another diet word. But I've been doing the CD since 2006, I lost 7 stone, put back on 7 and half..... I'm stick to the back teeth of the CD... But holiday in Sep and need to shift some quick... after...

So, if I have 7 stone to lose to get to bmi of 24 say, I am ok to do walking, abit of wii fit aerobic section and bits like that. Rather than big gym sessions. I plan to do WW after I get to 2 stone to go, so I guess then I will be good to go for it more. I have a two week holiday end of Sep...

I've got it, but not tried it yet.... Please to see it works.;)

Thanks for that Watergirl... I'll take a look. XXXXX

Hiya You are right, you shouldn't excersice in 1st 2 weeks. I was wondering about after that. I was worried excersice would slow down my weight loss. I'm doing this up until my hols and they I 'm going to switch to WW, I guess the excersice will help more then. I just wanted to use a...

Hi Yep tried that, but I was wondering if any one else had any info. I remember reading about it before on here. Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Thanks Shelz.... I was still wondering however if any one knew any facts on this.... please... help....

Thanks for your replys guys. I'm still however not sure what to do. Does any CDC out there know the answer. If I excersise will it slow down my weight loss....... ? I don't want to go to the gym 5 times a week, but would like to work out at home a bit. My weight loss often slows down for...

I have read several post in the past regarding excersice and cd. I want to lose as much weight as possible in 18 weeks and I want to know quite simply if excersice will speed up the weight loss over that time or slow it down. If you have an answer could you tell me if cardi or muscle...

Hi Emma Well done on getting to 2nd week. I've started so many times this year and only got to the afternoon...... So well done, it can be done... I think your tummy will settle down after a couple of days, the best thing you can do is phone your cdc, she will be able to help. My goals are...

Thanks tillyfloss..... I will be having lots of postive thoughts.... postive thoughts... postive thoughts.. :party0011:

Perhaps it better to have a week on the 810 and a week on the 1000 just before you go. I've done 8 weeks of ss then gone straight on holiday before, and after 2-3 days I had tummy ache for about 2 days... and I am pretty sure it is because I went from SS to eating carbs and drinking .......

Hi I go to my CDC, could you not travel to one of yours....

Good for you...:happy096: Tell me what is CD W8, are you doing two diets.., Im just nosy. sorry....

Ahh what a sweet hubby. Can't wait to see next years with the year befores....

Hiya & Thanks Tillyfloss, thats some good caring advice. My motivation is clear, there will be no more starting tomorrow... It is here and now that matters... Thanks again, you are doing well, hopefully in a few weeks I can say the same. Love Fluff

Do you want to swagger down the beach in a bikini and know you look fab, we don't have to look like pammy or some other beach babe, but to feel fab does it. Men you know prefer someone who is sensual than someone who is cold... swing those hips on the beach.....:D doesn't matter if they are a...

Brilliant reasons, loving the resturant one... I think people look at fat people having desert and think. 'fat cow, she shouldn't be eating that'......... You will be steaming on your wedding night, I forcast the hottest newly wed on the beach.....

Thats it isn't it, there comes a point, where you are just not prepared to go up any more sizes.... And thoese killer heels are just sat in the shop waiting for you...:D

lol, I leave the lights off, shut all doors, have blackout blinds so the room is in total darkness and still keep my pjs on;) Good for you to , lose the weight for you...

I know, smallest thing at the Doctors and they want to weight you. I am surprised when I take my kids for something, they don't try to weigh me again then. I was really ill about 3 years ago with a back problem and went to the doctors about 4 times in 2 weeks, and each time the Doctor tried to...

lol, I should be 6ft tall I think... my hubby would like it... he is 6ft 2inch, a good foot taller than me..... lol.....

lol, I suppose I could get out my sons old pushchair and take the cats for a walk.... I'll come up with something.. used to think sitting down reading helped these cravings, but I now think something more active and rewarding is best. thanks for the reply and keep me posted...

Wow well done and thanks for the support..... My first goal is to wear size 16 jeans and 18 top for the summer, then to get into my 10/12 holiday clothes for end of Sep.... Need to buckle down and do it...

Wow brilliant reason and you are getting close, you will look beautiful. I wish someone I know would get married abroad so I can go....:D Love the photos you see of beach weddings, hope you have a brilliant one.....

Brilliant reason, we away mid sep and I need to be 10stone to get in my clothes, hence needing to lose 6 and a half stone before then. You are doing really well, it spurs me on to see someone doing what they set out to do, well done.

I know what you mean about the scales... I didn't get on this morning, should have done as it is day one. I weighted last week... will weight tomorrow and take it from there... It is hard to have slow losses.... and yes it is faster than ww or sm.... but I like it. I want to do ww for the...

I am determined,..... I will be thin thin thin...... should walk round singing it... lol... You are doing great... you must be further than week 3 if your bmi was 42? Simple steps sounds easy.... will try my best...

Thanks Curly.... I will do it... Just thinking of all the clothes... hmmmm

What made you finally say, I've had enough, I'm going to get rid of the extra bits..... find the slimmer me.... Mine is I just feel so fat...... bending down is hard, to much fat in the way.... Clothes shopping is horrid, not because I can't find things to fit, as even Next do large sizes...

Sounds like me..... I do things like that

Wow well done, that is brilliant.. What did you do on your hard moments.

You are doing really well, thanks for the post. Yes I know what you mean about the slow times, But I worry I will only lose say 2lb a week and because the diet is hard, I want better rewards than that.... lol.... Time will tell... I will stick at it, 100%, there is no other way for me...

Oh so does that mean to many brussel sprots is bad..... yes, yes, yes, always knew it.......... Xmas dinner and no brussels, they could harm you......

Well done 19 days.... :talk017: That is fab, the 2.1lb in 5 days is perfect and right on track... I think the average weight loss in a week on CD is 3lb, so you would have done that had it been 7 days I am sure. Well done, can't wait until I'm posting my 19th day.... keep up the good work. Lve...

Don't worry honey.... just put it behind you... Find something to keep you on track, try saying your personal goal in your head every time you think of food. (Mine is, yummy mummy). Good luck for today. XXXX

Thanks KD for that answer... I understand what you are saying, we all lose weight at different rates etc and it all depends. I for one have gone for the 4 to give my body that extra bit and to hopefully give me more energy. Will be interesting to see how I get on... If I have a few weeks...

Hiya Is this group still going.... would love a weight tracking thingy...

My Scales Hiya It is funny I was thinking today at what weight I look 'normal' at, (ie, not that fat woman.....).... And I think for me it is about 12st....... And scales wise, I only see my cdc ever 4 weeks and I don't pay any attention to her scales as it is in the evening fully...

lol, thats funny.... & just what I would do...

Really interesting thread.... I've been wondering about the weight loss over time, not so much 2-3 weeks into the diet, but the difference say 8-9 weeks into the diet.... Will it take longer to lose the weight doing the SS+. Has it been looked into by Cambridge does anyone know. I am doing...

Hi Just browsing round and had to say.... Good Luck. This diet business is hard and keeping if off harder still. So many people lose the weight and on it goes back on, speaking from experience I know how crap that makes you feel. Coley your weight loss has been fabulose, really good and it may...

Thanks for the replys and thanks for the replys on my thread about the Cambridge Diet forum Site, I can't reply on it as it has been closed???? But thanks. Could you tell me.... can I now do 12 straight weeks of SS and then one week 810........ then SS again or do you have to have the AAM...

Mini Me's advice sounds really good.....:D

Hiya My CDC recommended I come on here for support which is great. She also said I could pick up some tips/support on the Camdridge Diet Forum on the Official Cambridge site, but I can't register with it, is it still working or am I just doing something wrong...

(That of course is if you over weight to start with.... would be no good losing lots if you are only just a little over weight.....) Sounds like I talking rubbish, so I guess it is time to gooooo.....

It is funny, I'm not sure I would like a man measuring me...... or weighing me. People loses seem to be very different, I think alot depends on the person and if they do it 100%, drink the water, etc etc etc...... But my CDC said the it seems to be that if you are on the diet for say 3...

I like the Pot and Leek best but don 't have it very often which is strange, the choc and mint shakes seem to keep me on the straight and narrow... The tetras are yuck... the bars are lovely, but don't agree with me... Chick & Mush soup is to me the same as the cup a soups and so is the veg...
