Hi everyone! I am Claire and I am 31. I have crash dieted and yo yo'd for the past 5 years and need to change my ways. I am doing the red and green days as this is what I know works for me. I successfully did slimming world in 2005 whilst pregnant with my son and lost 2 stones along the way...

Hi everyone, Please excuse me, this is a very sorry for myself post and very long! The last two/three weeks have been so hard for me...all was well until around week 6 where I had an unexpected 1lb gain. Week 7 I got ill, a nasty fluey bug. I spoke to my CDC who told me I shouldn't do SS if I...

Well as the title says, I have had a bad few days, not through cheating but bad thoughts etc. I have struggled so much especially yesterday when I had to watch my family eat a rather scrummy looking roast dinner (my fault I invited them over last week). The horrible thoughts such as "maybe I...

Fabulous losses! Well done and keep up the good work! Clairex

Wow what a difference, you're looking great!! Clairex

Hiya, Don't beat yourself up about it...we're all human! Draw a line under it and carry on as normal and use this to think of how it made you feel to try and avoid it happening again. Come on you can do it!! Clairex

Well, TOTM for me too, I didn't realise it was coming up toTHAT time already! Don't feel bloated but def feel lousy, tired, grouchy, etc as I usually do. Mine started day after weigh day but I still lost 4lbs which is great for me as on all other diets even if I stick to it 100% I usually gain...

I lost 4 lbs so am very very happy! Have only bought 3 bars this week so am limiting myself to one every couple of days. Clairex

Sounds really really nice (dribbling now!). Good luck for weigh in, even if the scales don't show what you want them to, I'm sure you'll have a really good loss next week and to be honest at least its for a lovelly, worthwhile reason! Clairex

:character00238: Sending you lots of sunshine (well cyber sun anyhow!) and hope today goes well for you! Clairex

Hi everyone, Wow, opinions really do differ on this! Becca, I think you're right, that may have been what happened to me. I have my weigh in at 4, and although it could be a coincidence, I definitely haven't felt as hungry and the scales have dropped by about another two lbs overnight...I...

Good luck with the restart and those babies are gooooorgeous! Clairex

Great losses you must be chuffed! Clairex

Hi everyone, Am on my third week, w.i tomorrow and have been having the bars this week, one every night up until Monday night. I stopped having them because I swear they are making me feel really hungry. I know its probably been asked a million times before but is there anyone else who doesn't...

Hi Hayley, Not sure about Smints, sure one of the more experienced will be along to tell you shortly. What I do though is chew a sugarfree gum, just till it loses its crispyness and then spit it out. Works short term, am sure that I read you can use one of the spray breath fresheners, but that...

Hi Guru, I have been doing cd for three weeks now, 3rd weigh in tomorrow. You are an inspiration to all newbies like myself, we look at yours and other peoples threads (and now photos) and see a woman successfully losing weight and looking fab for it, giving us the motivation to ride out those...

thanks Ellie!

Hi everyone, I tried Cambridge once before but due to personal problems went totally off it and ended up putting more on than I lost! :o I am now on day 16 of a restart and finally feel I have my head round it. Its not been all plain sailing but have stuck to it and I feel quite relaxed about...

Maybe a little jealousy? Sibling rivalry thats what me and my sister used to be like lol

omg not being rude but what planet is your sister on? you can REALLY tell a difference especially from the side!! good on you keep it up! Clairex

Hi all, Just wondering if this is a just me thing or if its common... I'm on day 11 of SS and have been 100% so far, I have found today my stomach muscles are killing me! It feels like I've done some major ab workout or something but I haven't and can't think of any reason for them to be...

Hi, I'm 28, live with my 3 kiddies - 7,5,3 and hubby. Cooking for them doesn't bother me too much, but I do make OH cook a lot of the evening meals lol! Clairex

Hi everyone, I am on day 11 now and feeling quite good. I had set myself a mini challenge, to do 10 days 100% and I've done it! I have to do small but achievable targets otherwise even on this diet, it all seems so far away. Hope everyone has a great day! Clairex

Hi Rach, Hope you are feeling better today. I am a newbie, on day 3 of week 2 and I can't tell you how hard the first week was. It was like really bad pmt with chronic hunger, day 3 and 5 were the worst for me BUT, I followed the advice on here and kept myself busy and I got through it and lost...

Hiya, That is exactly what I did my first week as I felt a bit shy, dunno why though! Good luck for your weigh in today, I had my first on Monday and am getting weighed early this week (sat). This forum is fab isn't it? The people on here are inspiring newbies like us with their progress...

3lbs is great! Thanks for your congrats on my message! Try not to be down, you achieved so much in only two weeks. Also from my lurking, you seem to have had one of the higher losses for your 1st weigh in, not sure if theres any truth in this but maybe because of that you didn't get such a wow...

I am rubbish at computers the only thing i have managed to do is change my ticker but i can't seem to add goals, losses etc to my signature as it keeps saying it can't be over 150 characters! Lin18 I joked at work that I am feeding everyone else up, my husband is going to get so big so I must...

Hello all I know you don't know me but I couldn't help myself, I had to come on here and shout from the rooftops I have lost 11.5lbs in my first week!!!! It was very hard going at times but I can honestly say I did not cheat once and its been a long time since I have been able to say that...

Hi sassypantz, I normally lurk on here but your story seems so similar to my previous pregnancy I had to come on and add my tuppence worth lol, albeit 3 weeks late! First of all congrats on your baby news, its wonderful! I was 1/2 lb under 18 stone when I got pregnant, I felt awful about...

Thanks guys, I have a feeling I might be smoking a bit more this week lol! Tasha good luck, 3 stone in 2 months, well done! Thats fab, I'd love that to happen for me. I keep crossing my fingers I will keep my motivation this time! Clairex

Hi everyone, I have started the diet today, and can honestly say was dreading it because I run a cafe with my mum and had to work today. I know its only 1 day so far but am so pleased with myself that I didn't pick once and we had some gorgeous food being served there today! I have two shakes...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to CD. Am meeting my counsellor tomorrow at 4pm and am hoping to get straight on it. I have spoken to her today and she seems nice so far and not too pushy. I have to admit I am dead nervous about trying the diet as have never tried a meal replacement...
