You can definitely do it. Stay positive and focused on the end goal :) and stay on here!! If you feel like a binge or a nibble just take 2 minutes to assess what you really want - if you do make a mistake just gather yourself up and carry one - dont let a nibble drag out for days. Youll be fine...

Hello my lovely - i'm sure you can do it chic - and with you being so good it gives you a better chance. I thought i had replied but no i'm 5ft 6 !! I cant seem to get 5'6 in my stats!! lol

You've done amazingly well, you should be really proud of your self - the day i get onto the 13st i'm going to pee my pants with excitement (TMI??) if WHEN i get into the 12's i think i could possibly have a heart attack.

CONGRATUMULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEfinately leave your purse at home!! lol

Exactly - just need to stick with ss100% for a couple of WI and when you see the lbs drop of it will motivate the pair of us!! (because im not speaking from experience as ive always nibbled!!)

erm..chic - you have lost LOADS you are certainly NOT a failure, you just have little lapses in concentration along the way - if we keep this thread running it should help us all

My CDC is the nicest woman in the worls and i told her i was expecting STS or 1lb on...when i lost 2lb she gave me a massive hug!!

bump

Dont give up chic - i dropped 5 in one day this week - might just need to let your bady get back in the K Zone lol

I started this diet about 6 weeks ago with 5 stone 2 lb to loose, now i only have 3 stone 5 lbs to loose! cant quite believe it :flirt2::D:flirt2::D

Hey girls - got day 3 out the way and also managed to loose 2lbs on my WI!!!! Now on day 4 of 100% ss and have 1 shake (no water chilled enough yet lol)

(((((((hugsformeeee))))))

I actually feel better now than i did on my last WI - a kind of relaxed state. Very odd

you have done amazingly well - I hope i can do as well as you!

Well i'm new to this site (but not new to the diet) I have been SS for 4/5 weeks and up until yesterday i had lost an impressive 22lb - Please hold the applause lol - I am 5'6 and i started at 226lbs (16stone 2) and last Friday weighed in at 204 (14'8). Saturday night however i COMPLETELY fell...

thank you everyone - i was so please i cried in the car. im such a divv!! then i realise im 1 stone off 13 and a half stone - this has been a kinda dream/mini goal/target for SO long. My HB said if i got to that hed take me on a massive shopping spree and burn all my old clothes

:8855::8855::8855::character00116::character00116::girlpower::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss:

Well after feeling low and rubbish due to scale hopping!! i have proved to myself my scales hate me and want me to fail...CDC's scales are lovely, and they love me and want me to succeed!! ***Note to self STOP WEIGHING AT HOME**** had a short WI week (weighed in monday and now its friday)...

Already got one... im at work and i dont think my work buddies are ready for that LMAO:eek:

Thanks - ill try this again :)

PS thats not sarcasm either

OMG - thats scary - just reading your post and sitting up and smiling did it...... Your great!!

Keep having that -Looooooooooooooooooong way to go feeling

Cack cack cack day today. Had run in with estranged step daughter and generally feeling low. Dont get me work - dont wanna eat or come off the diet - just dont wanna eat or drink or.... still be awake actually. TRIED so hard to give myself a boot up the @rse but nothing works......:cry:

If the health risks arnt bad enough - if you continue to forget packs your body will go into starvation mode and slow down weight loss - so if the health side of things dont bother you - the weight loss should lol!

:sigh:now im worried!!:cry:

ace :D

well its the only time i get chance to do it - is there any real problems with doing it all in one go?

Well i definately feel full!! I keep record of how much i drink by using old water bottles - i thought the one i had today was a 1.5 lt bottle - its not its 2 lts so ive had 4 ltrs in 5 hours :jelous::jelous::jelous::jelous::jelous::jelous::jelous::jelous::jelous:

Ditto my dear - i thought my flaggin nature was due to lack of water - so ive flooded myself with 4 lt or the stuff (thought it was a 1.5 ltr bottle its actually a 2) and now i feel bloated tired and wobbly- rubbish!!

I need to know so i can trick my brain into drinking the horrid stuff :o:o

A massive well done to you tooo

WELL DONE YOU ...... I started at 16 3 and i'm going to die of happyness when i get to that. youve had some great losses - well done you im going to :bliss:with you till its my turn

I weight between once and 3 times a day - i would LOVE to have the will power to stop but i've given up food AND drinking....i cant GIVE aything more up!! If it is your guilty pleasure they so be it - its better than nibbilng (not that i dont do that on occasion)

Just reading this - what a sad story she has....

Pictures here....‘A 50k body –but I’m still not happy’ | Fabulous|Features | News Of The World

OR if you have the space keep them and burn them in aceremony when you get to goal!!

There are different versions of Corsodyl - one of them are given out by dentists for people with poor mouth hygiene or tooth extractions or gum disease, there is also the more commercialised one that are just a mouth wash :)

Not just the Cambridge Diet...the SEVERE Cambridge Diet lol Well done her

I'm planning to have a meeting with a nutritionist, they are only about £30 or free if you caqn swing it with your doctor.

I remember being on day three - feels like there is a whole world of pain ahead lol it FLYS by honest xx

LOL !!!!!! This is totally me - if i say no to a crisp someone offers me i expect to have lost a stone in compensation! Every time i get a grumble - i think SURELY im a size 8 by now!!

Hi Girls, I know i'm late in but could i possibly join you? I have mini (not THAT mini actually) of getting to 13.7 (18 lbs away) and im also a naughty nibbler. When i get to that my hubby has promised me a MASSIVE shopping spree and we can burn all my old fat clothes :D silly i know. in 6 WI's...

Thanks all - i'm still amazed and don't quite believe it yet - i keep thinking scales must be broke - or its a trick and i'm cheating somehow. I also keep getting this scared feeling - i dont know if its scared ill put it back on or scared to be thin (is that possible) I dont know whats going on...

Well, I've been off the boards for a few weeks and though i better come and update you on my CD Journey :) Its been about 3ish weeks (just over) I've gone from 16.3 to an amazing 14st 11. I cant SEE any difference yet but the feeling i have is amazing - ive got a long way yo go yet but i just...

Ditto - very guilty. Some times 3 times a day!!! So whats the solution ladies??

LOL!!

is that from your CDC? the berry flavouring?

Well done! dont you need to update your signature :) :)

Hi Girls Kerryberry - you've done SO well - makes me more determine to stick to it!! I'm not planning of buying any new clothes untill they are LITERALLY falling off me. My hubby said that WHEN (not if) i get down to my personal goal (not sure myself what that is lol) he will give £500 and...

oooh deffo

Ah lauren....too shop at topshop....never actually done it!! lol

Nice one! I'd like tight jeans brown boots and a jersy dress over the top :)

]Ok all, what will be that one outfit you would LOVE to slip into when you reach goal. Mine would be a nice pair of tight jeans:) or a black pin stripped suit dress.....

Ah well - the price for thinness :) thanks for all your info girls

Awwwww!! *turn on childish type strop*

so 6 pints of water a day should cure it? :( I bl**dy hate water lol

Bugger.....looks like were stuck with it then!!

Hrumph :mad::mad:

Does or did anyone in the first weeks suffer from waking up feeling like they had a skin full? Any tips or words of advice?

Yeah i'm following the same rule - packs, water and coffee for me :) If it and down it aint getting in :)

Hey laurenrosalind, Thanks! I see we have a similar journey. the day i get back into any of my 16/18 clothes i will pass out i swear. I know its not far away but so much has happened in betwee. I spoke to my CDC today and all i want is "normality" i want a normalrelationship with food, clothes...

:D:D:D:eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

Well - Went for my official weigh in today and i nearly fell off my chair - I've unofficially been doing CD for 7 days but re-registered with me CDC on monday. Since last wednesday -ive lost - a whopping 11lbs. I cant believe it. I'm so over the moon its unbeleiveable. 16.1 to 15.4 - just like...

Ok Girls, Had my first WI today....... 11lb

I thought it was only coke zero and you could have one small bottle a day - i dont because it makes me hungry

God that's great to know, I am having real issues getting it all down!!

Hi Girls - just had my first WI - 11lb :)

Ok Girls, Had my first WI today....... 11lb

Its still coming off tho Eternal - and 18 inches is good in ANYONE'S book :)

Hey s 786 I'm having my wi today too! im on restart and this will theoretically be my first one - have 3 days left from last time so have started and then gone back to my CDC - i'm going to ask her if we can start from mondays weight that i weighed at home :) - will look better on my card...

Thanks Eternal - its just a matter of making yourself get into that mind set - if i b1tch and moan about every low point i'll never succeed - i just need to focus on the end goal

I do worry about that when i get to goal and start eating again, I tend to loose my mind when i have choices

LOL me too claire, its a no thinking diet that has such firm rules you cant con yourself in to thinking your not cheating :)

Well, my first real side affect kicked in today - major dizzy spells and lethargy you WOULDN'T believe. Of course as this is my second day i know its just the carbs making a booty call for me but it lasted a good 3 hours..... It would have been so easy to give in again but i have promised my...

Wow that does seem alot - i am was a coke zero junki before i started CD so its hard enought o get 2.5 litres down!! I've heard it gets easier....?

Hello Ladies - your all doing Extremely well - more power to you!! I'm on day 2 - could i possibly join your little quest. I have nothing planned as of yet but need to stick to it - i have 70 lbs (5 stone) to loose to get too 11 stone (dont think i was even BORN that light)

LOL I suppose your right! In my 100% quest i've forgotten to give my self a lil bit of love *hugstome*

Really? Should you space it out?

Jee Whizz - really? I thought id done so well LOL well better keep chugging:argh::sign0137::waterbottle:

What does 2.5 ltr work out in pints? I'm only on day 2 of my 100% SS Journey and i used a litre bottle of water to make sure i know how much ive had but now im at work and i have a water cooler and a pint glass. I've had about 4 pints and a cup of coffee (black of...

Bloody brilliant - well done - stick too it (and all that jazz) :553::character00116::happy096:

Afternoon update ....crashing. Energy fading fast - staring at the puter screen totally spaced out. Still no thought of eating (feel a bit queasy really) but what a difference a few hours make!! May try to weather the storm with a black coffee - but im scared i may pay for it with a caffeine...

I just spoke to someone about this and they said the only danger is doing too much and not loosing because your body may go into starvation with the exercising on top

eek - think ill stick to ss for now - seems simpler

are you on SS? Do you find excersize helps with it?

So i can post my daily blathering!! cool :) hows everyone else doing then :)

So do i just post on here when i have my weigh ins?

I cant quite believe it!

Day 2 (Morning) Official weight loss 0 Unofficial weight loss 7(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Mood Determine Well...... I cant quite believe it! 7 lbs gone. I think i only did 8lbs the first time round. Its a big mental plus for me but i have to make sure that i dont get complacent - "oh if i eat now i can...

Hi Exp107, Does this mean on "on the team??"

Well i still have 4 hours left of today but i'm hoping i can resist lol!!

Jessica, I've just spent an hour reading your journey -i'm SO inspired! I'm on day one of SS and i'm just hoping i have an ounce of your determination and will power - your an inspiration to me and by the look of it - others on here - Good luck darlin. Hope youll be able to say the same to me...

If you cope with stress with eating - you'll loose all that weight and when you come across stress again you'll pile it back on

Of course it does - but why let someone who you have no respect for now ruin your goals and achievement. Take control - feel empowered

Having had a scoot through all of your wonderful posts and storied I thought it might be an idea to have a little day by day account of my trials and tribulations of the re-starter I am on day one and have just ate my 3rd porridge of the day and finished my 2 lt bottle of water. I wont lie, I'm...

I was wondering if you can ever eat a balanced diet after CD or will carbs always have to be restricted - i appreciate that i cant go back to eating how i used to as that's what got me to 16 stone in the first place LOL but in committing to this diet does it commit to a life time of less carbs -...

Hello all, I'm looking for a team to join xx

Hi Girls, I'm a re-starter today and would love to take the 2nd place :) Please

thanks girls!

Hello all, I have restarted my CD Journey today and am feeling a little positive about my weight loss!! (a revelation for me lol) Could anyone give me some hints, tips, or just words of advice for sticking to it the second time round - i've heard its a REAL struggle the second time...

Hi both are you just looking for the one buddy or is another buddy welcome :)

Thanks for all your tips girls :)

ello all, I'm starting (again) on a healthy eating plan - no diet no fads- just cutting out rubbish and having 3 meals a day. To be fair I'm struggling....terribly. I start on a Monday great ans full of enthusiasm come to Friday it all goes horribly wrong, i really dont want to go back down...
