Thankyou! It's good to hear that other people have been through similar things! I'm feeling better now, had a sulk and some water and probably feeling more focused than ever.. I have a habit on digging my heals in! I've been reading your posts and your weight loss is truly inspiring! Well...

Just need to vent some anger.. Had a huge row with my OH as he can be so unsupportive/ selfish at times. So the only thing I ask for is that I can watch eastenders (extremely petty but it's my TV/ I pay the TV license!) and usually, he just sits and slightly winged through it but leaves it to...

Yes please! Can someone link me to the thread too. I'm looking forward to having these for my dinner! I also saw a thing to make muffins too?

That was meant to say THANKS guys by the way :) xx

That's guys! Feels good.. My old clothes arbitrating to fit again! One thing that's annoyed me today though.. (just to have a grumble..) I went to a cafe after taking my mom out to the garden centre today, and my moms been fully supportive and barely questioned anything.. Saying how well I'm...

Just had my 2nd weigh in... Another 3lbs! That's 9lbs off in 2 weeks.. And my BMI is now 25.5.. Hooray, think I'll have a sparkling water to celebrate! Cheers! :) x

Hi! Last time I was on Cambridge.. (about 4 years ago..) I had diet coke, but I ended up having to give it up as it kept kicking me out of ketosis. This time I've tried coke zero.. Though apparently it does have citric acid in it, which can do the same.. But I've been lucky with it. Makes a...

I know.. He just looks at me and says "oh your doing well.." I might just steal them and throw them in the bin! I've moved sit on the bean bag, with my headphones on while he watches some rubbish tv.. I'm winning!

Distractions please ladies an gents, my oh has just had wraps and nachos for tea.. And now he's sat next to me eating A BOX OF THORNTONS and drinking a beer.. Urghhhhhhhhhhhh

I usually use about 270ml of water, pop it in a blender and put about 5/6 ice cubes in.. Makes a think yummy shake!

Ohh yeah frozen tetra are sooo good. I used to do that all the time when I previously did Cambridge.. I'm at work this morning too.. It doesn't get busy until 10ish.. (which is usually the time I have a billion biscuits and coffees..) but this morning, I've hoovered, mopped and on my first...

Amazing!! Well done!

Does anyone know why it's only 1 coke zero a day? From what I gather it contains nothing.. I have had 2 today.. Oops

Haha.. Hot orange choc not chic!! That would be an interesting evening :/

Totally done, finished work late.. 8.15ish.. Then home after my bfs out.. Nails painted, hair wrapped, 4od on and a hot orange chic shake in bed.. Good times!!! How's everyone else coping?? xx

My first weekend coming up, and its usually beers and a take out night. my boyfriend is going out and I'm going to be home alone.. with no snacks, but lots of temptation. What's the best thing to take my mind off stuffing my face? I'm guessing the TV is a no, no as I don't like footie...

Eager to find out your loss, you're doing really well. Those tough days are horrible (I'm having one today!) , but I find the good days and the long term goal enough to get through it! Good luck xxx

Hi everyone, Ok so I'm back.. with my tail between my legs, but I've forked out for a weeks worth of shakes and soups on Wednesday and I only have a couple of stone to loose, so I might be here to stay! How's everyone finding it today? I'm on day 3 and not even had chance for my first shake...

excellent. I have the dreaded after work trip to tescos when I finish in an hour or so.. (after an 11 hour shift :(..) I hope it's no where near the bakery section! ;) Thanks :)

Ah ha.. Thank you! I thought I recognised the name, I think I have seen this before :) Do I need the reduced salt one, or is the standard one OK to use? x

Just wondering where I can buy this? When I did cambridge I had something similar I think, but I'm pretty sure it was a cambridge branded thing? What exactly am I looking for? :confused: I've run out of savioury flavours, and with this cold weather I'd like something warm and savoury...

hey everyone, Ok so the other day was a bit of a bloody spanner in the works.. Though, I've had a biopsy and should know the results in 2-3 weeks. But I've made a massive effort to stick to this diet as I can't put my life on hold, can I?!!! Feeling very positive, had my weigh in and lost a...

Thanks everyone.. Ive not reached for the choccie!!!.. but my lovely supportive mom came over with a few cans of coke zero.. Cheered me up no end!!! Starting to feel less scared and more ready to take on the world!! :)

Thanks! Sorry to hear you've had bad news too! Isn't it crazy how something so insignificant as chocolate can be the first thing you want to grab. Comfort food is one of my weaknesses, thank god for this forum!

Just had some bad news from the doctors about my smear test, going in for an colposcopy tomorrow am.. I know this is a positive move, but my grandma died of cervical cancer and to be honest I'm quite worried. Thinking chocolate and a movie tonight and knowing I'll massively regret it tomorrow :(

I was really struggerling today as I am on a late shift and was doing an essay at home - so I was easily distracted (procrastinating!) and I really wanted some chocolate, I considered a shake.. but it just wasn't the same. So I went to the boots at the bottom of my road, and wow! Atkins...

Started to loose hope a bit after I had some olive and walnut bread last night (only 2 slices! DAMN YOU TESCOS!.. And I only went in to buy bottled fizzy water :cry::sigh:) SO.. I spent a rather large amount on a size 8 dress this morning, I'm going to hang it up next to a pic of me now next...

Hi! Oh no I don't think so, I ordered mine a few days ago and it was about £4.99 or near on. Give them a ring and check :)

Hi, Looking to shift about 30+ lbs, Just ordered some exante and be ready to start by the weekend! Easing myself in by lowering my carbs over the next few days.. Exciting!! :)

So.. after loosing 2st, 2lbs on the cambridge diet back a few years ago, I've noticed that the weight is starting to creep back on. So I'm going to do it again, this time I've shifted my goal weight to a lower number!! In all honesty I forgot about this forum, but I suddenly remembered...

Hello you lovely peoples.. So I'm back, after a year out of eating "normal" food.. Too many sweet stuff and carbs to be precise.. I am back to shed my newly gained half a stone, plus another stone. I managed to loose 3 stone with the help of this forum in 5 months and I'm going to do it...

All about Thursday.. hour by hour.. :o.. Such a long day today I don't know why!!! I've had my chicken soup and 2 ltrs of water so far.. Hoping to get in to "healthy" BMI this weekend!! Fingers Crossed!!! x

Hello! and welcome!!! I at first didn't want to tell anyone, I was worried that if I failed that I'd be judged or that noone would understand.. but I then decided to tell anyone who would be affected by it. My OH is great.. he doesn't eat snacks in front of me or anything!! My friends and...

wow thats amazing! :)

Ohh maybe I shall put some pics up here on Sunday after I've had my hair done too!!!! I was actually (for some bizarre reason) having super hunger pangs earlier as I'm dog sitting tonight at my parents house and they always have such nice food in the cupboards! But.. all I keep thinking bout...

Thanks very much everyone! Yeah I feel really great - all this hard work is finally paying off, weirdly enough.. I really can't see much of a change in the mirror but obviously it is all disappearing as I was a size 14 when I started!!! Gemma heres a piccy, this isn't the same one, but...

I'm off out tomorrow for the first time in ages, and I bought a dress for the occasion yesterday.. Really nice, 50s corset dress.. Tried it on.. Size 12 too big!!!! I officially fit in a size 10 dress!!! woooooooooooo :D:D:D:D:D:D

Hello everyone.. how has everyone been getting on?!! I haven't had the internet for over a week so I haven't had chance to say hello.. I haven't had a weigh in for over a week either due to Valentines day and so much to do for uni and work.. but got one this Saturday, been doing really well...

Hello.. well lost another 4lbs today, so thats my 1st stone!!!!!!! yey! I've decided to start SS+ option with a meal from tomorrow.. I have read in the booklet and it states to have up to 225g cottage cheese, or 180g tuna etc... with 2 lots of veggies.. Is this right? that seems an...

according to my CDC apparently the less you have to loose the more time it takes.. keep going though! :)

I'm getting my weigh in on the morning.. then.. Me and my fella have been together for 4 years and we never do anything on Valentines.. but we thought we'd use this as an excuse.. Were getting on the national express, going to a gig in Nottingham, going out, I'll be on the waters, then...

Hello everyone.. I am currently on day 19 of 100% SS. Even though I am quite comfortable to carry on doing this for now, I was thinking of having my AAMW on week 5 - so starting a week on Thursday? Does that sound like a reasonable idea? If so, I don't know much about AAMW - are the...

wow thats great.. you must be on cloud 9.. good luck with the rest of your time on CD and your bound to hit your goal fast! I agree though.. this diet is great for results!

The cheese one, I have been warned about.. apparently tastes like metal - but I'm not brave enough to try it though.. apart from anything tomato, banana, strawberry or the toffee bar - the flavours are actually quite nice, well they at least taste they they are supposed to :D

Yeah we will! I felt like that in my second or third day.. really light headed and a little wobbly, but thats probably due to my not have a pre CD week, I just decided to go straight in to it.. Good to see your coping well with the water though, that was the really hard thing for me -...

Ohh well I actually have been keeping myself occupied today, cleaned the house abit, did abit of work, had some nice warm porridge and doing well with the hot cups of tea too! It's not all bad I guess.. :D I'm in a better mood now I think.. I'm not getting any hunger pangs either.. which is...

oohh It is so snowy here, I've been sent home. I don't know whether it's a good or a bad thing though.. as there are more treats at home than at work, and our heating doesn't work :s but at least I'll not be sat at my desk staring at a screen.. Oh wait, what am I doing now?! Hmmmm...

ooh thats quite interesting.. I had a look at that, and on one side it said go to the dermatologist and they'll sort it with some cream.. I emailed a friend of mine who is a skin specialist and they suggested Retinol A cream.. cocoa butter or.. sunlight! can you believe, I'm probably making...

Hello, This is just a general question about my skin.. Ok for the past couple of years, I have noticed that I have got what looks to be a rash down both of my arms, it is mainly the hair follicles being red, not ichy or infected, just red.. Like tiny red pimples all over my arms, mainly at the...

Oh no pretika.. I don't want to loose my boobs, but i think that and my bum is where all my fat hides.. or not hides as the case is. :)

whhat??? a bug? I havent heard this yet? I'm intrigued.. :)

hmm.. i've been thinking about this.. I'm at the moment 5ft 6, and bout 12 stone, I fit comfortably in to size 12 skinny jeans (primark..) and the size 14s are too big at topshop, but too small at size 12.. Just shows how different everyone is.. I'd love to fit comfortably in to a size...

Don't worry, the best part of it is that you didn't feel guilty about doing it, and the fact that you had stomach cramps after probably will make you think twice in the future.. weekends are really hard for loads of people (for me!!! anyway..:o) good that you can get back on with it with no...

thats wonderful!! thats loads in 3 weeks!!! :D x

well i did it, i went to bed and got up feeling great.. so glad i didn't give in to temptation last night! as this morning I have managed to fit in to my skinny size 12 jeans.. something which i haven't been able to do since last summer... i feel great.. I think the 24 and a cuppa was the...

Thank you so much lottymoo!!!..:D I know it is passing now.. gradually.. and your right bed time is very close.. I feel the same, it is like devil and angel on my shoulders, I would feel so annoyed at myself if I did eat something now, but the thought it still in my head to do it.. another cup...

Don't worry about cheating put it behind you!!!!.. We are al human after all!.. Don't dwell on it.. but think positively, like what shake you can have tomorrow morning etc... On another note just to let you know, about joining the gym, I go to the gym to but I was warned by my CDC that muscle...

hello.. good luck, I've just started my 2nd week and I have just over 2 stone to loose!.. Good luck with your first weigh in and I bet you see those pounds flying off!!!

Well 1 cuppa down.. and i'm feeling abit better.. been looking in the "before and after" photo folders, they have helped loads.. however it's still there!!! it is more annoyance than anything!!!

Thanks everyone, I know I feel well chuffed I got through that.. Now just for this evening, I've got an incredible longing for fast food tonight.. more than I have since I started, I have only been doing this for a week but even though I've been doing so well I am having such a hard time...

I think they're all great ideas.. my main goal is to have lost the weight I want before my first holiday for this year.. But on the treating side, I want to buy something for my holiday for every time I loose a stone. Then by the time I'm done, I'll have my bikins and glasses, weight off and...

I am well chuffed, it was a family do last night.. mainly revolving round lots of pies, gravy, sandwiches and even curly fries!!!... But I resisted, I drank close to 3 pints of fizzy water.. (it was a long night).. and had my trusy peanut bar cut in to tiny pieces in a sandwhich bag inside my...

Is actually my new best friend.. I absolutly love coffee but I'm sick of it without milk, only after 7 days!!!.. I've just bought myself some green tea from twinnings.. and its completly stopped my rumbling tummy, and sick feeling I've been on and off with all day.. Yey, day 8 and 100%...:D...

Hello.. I started a week ago and I had been lurking on here too.. Now I fear I'm becoming hooked - though better than eating biccies ey?!!! Good look to you! x

I have my very first weigh in tonight.. should I be excited or nervous?.. I have tried my best to keep away from the scales and from tape measure all week and I have stuck to my SS 100% since Friday. Weekend was horrible, all I wanted to do was eat, but I battled on. Water intake has been...

Ok, So I started last Friday, I have my first weigh in tonight on SS.. I'm quite nervous.. I've been doing really well this week and now I feel absolutly great! But the beginning of the week.. especially the weekend was horrendous, I'm not going to lie.. I wanted to eat everything in sight...
