Hello! Decided to start SW in the morning. Shopping today to stock up on goodies and then hoping I can stick with it. After 3 rounds of IVF and a baby I've ballooned. Looking to lose 3 stone initially.

Sorry if you've already read my other post! Thought I'd re-phrase the heading and see who pops along! I am 2 weeks in and have not lost a pound. I did gain 3-4lbs in the first few days (as I had come straight off Cambridge Diet) but thats has now gone and I am back to the weight my Doctor...

Thank you! My brain is saying 'give it a chance' but I seem to go into self destruct mode. I did think it could be something to do with CD - although my Dr said not. Eating normally again is a huge jump up from 400kcal a day - so my body is probably hanging onto everything wondering what the...

I have been taking Xenical now for 2 weeks, and I have not lost anything. I had previously been on the Cambridge Diet for 10 days prior to Xenical, and wonder if my body is just adjusting, but I did hope to lose something by this point. I am eating sensibly - except for a couple of naughty...

Hi Folks, Just thinking about this diet and was after some advice. I have done the Cambridge Diet (Sole Source 400kcal) and although it clearly does work, I struggled with it. I have been put on Xenical by my Doc and have been on it for 2 weeks, and not lost a pound! Had thyroid checked and...

emmadilemma - Not nice of your Mum to say that to you - but maybe you should make it positive and prove her wrong. I know the rebellious side in me does - my other half said to me a couple of weeks ago I wouldn't manage it....so I tried my best! You CAN do this, it WILL work, and in a relatively...

Tinkerbell - How much water are you drinking hun? I have never felt sick on CD, hungry now and then yes, but not sick. Whenever I feel a bit off like that, I just drink more water and it does pass. Trouble is if you start with a couple of biscuits, you end up cheating everyday (I did anyway)...

I'm meeting up with the girls I've met though IVF. Everyone is so busy so we have to plan well in advance and I really don't want to bail now!

Emmadilema - I know it's gonna be hard. Its just Sat eve and only a meal - no drinkies, I'll stick to water, so will be aiming to get back on it Sunday morning. I'm on a bit of a roll so far (only day 4 I know, but have tried to restart sooo many times) and don't want to spoil it. Thanks for the...

Morning All! Miss Phoenix - Huge congrats on your BMI! You will be in fab shape for your hols! Emmadilema - Well done for being able to come off plan and then get back on it again. I have a planned blip next Sat eve (am I allowed to say that on the 100% board??) and just hope I can get...

Miss P - A blip is a blip, but I hardly think a tiny bit extra cottage cheese is a real blip! You're doing really well to be almost at 25 BMI - I can only dream of that!! Hope this morning is going well for you. I am on Day 3 now, feeling pretty good. I think it's because my head is in the...

Thanks great things! I don't think it makes me hungry, so I will carry on!

Hi folks! Could I join you? I restarted yesterday and want to lose 3stone ASAP. I've had 2 cycles of IVF in the last year and have piled weight on. Feeling really positive about CD this time (have tried to restart a couple of time recently and failed hours in!). Your losses are excellent! x

I know this is technically not allowed, but I miss having minty breath and breath sprays give me fuzzy mouth! Has anyone had any real negative effects from chewing gum?

I am also restarting this week! Got to do a month to get rid of at least a stone before we go for 2nd round of IVF in October (and gain all the weight back again!). Good luck to you both!

We are hopefully going again in October (have to wait three cycles after the failed one) so I am starting 100% on 1st September. I'm at the V festival this weekend and we have a planned weekend away for Bank Holiday so I don't want to be too restrictive then. My clinic said I could still be...

Hi Pickles! Sorry you've got to have IVF. Like you say, you need to get your BMI down sharpish, but there's no better reason. Do you have another apt set or have you just got to apply when your BMI is down? Will that be on NHS? Good luck with SS

Wow Guru - you're doing really well! I had to lose 9lbs to qualify for IVF, was told in Jan to come back in June after I'd lost it. Decided I wasn't happy to wait that long so I found Cambridge! Lost double the weight and brought my apt forward to March! Its amazing what can be done when we have...

Thanks Curlywurly! We are at ISIS in Colchester, really hoping the 2nd attempt works for us too!

Hi! :wavey: I lost 18lbs back in Feb to qualify for NHS IVF funding. We finished our first cycle at the beginning of August and I have gained a stone :sigh:. I now need to get my BMI back down to below 30 by the end of September, so I am re-starting CD tomorrow. Have had no appetite for a few...

Hi All, I think I am going to have to leave the team. I am re-starting CD today as I had a week off to celebrate getting our nod from the NHS for IVF. But I just can't keep up with you all! I work full time and and busy in the evenings at the mo with the new pup and I just can't get on to be...

I'm REALLY sorry!! Got a new puppy on Saturday so haven't stopped chasing around after him and not had a chance to get on. I lost 4lbs last week - not going to weigh this week (should be tonight) cos I'm off work with the new pup. I remembered about Sundays 6pm 'Log On' yesterday I'm afraid...

Right ladies - Im off to get ready for Dancing on Ice! Need to boot Coleen off now! Catcha later! Take care and good luck for next week! Be good. x

Thanks Kelly - don't worry about the toes though - that sounds painful!!

Kelly - How old is she? And the other 2?

Thanks Sharon. Its been 2 years of negtaive preg tests followed by numerous blood samples and investigations. Can't wait to finally get there. Just one week to go!

Embrace the vomit!

Thanks Kelly! That'd be great! Make the most of her! I was desperately trying to find some ice for my shakes yesterday and bumped into every oik I could! Screaming at their kids in the supermarket like they hated them. It was horrible. I just stood there (trying not to cry) thinking for...

Yeah - my other half likes her. We decided against it though as were going to be paying double for tickets. He booked The Script though which I love and we're going to see them in June. Can't believe its just a week till my D Day! I will cry when the Doc finally says Yes - you're having IVF!

We were looking into seeing Lily Allen at the Southampton guildhall - didn't know if you meant that one - I thought you were down that way! I am in Dovercourt - in Essex

Sounds interesting! I'd like to go myself. Which guildhall did you go to?

Oooh - My boss is going to see him in a few weeks. Was it good?

Spooky!! Sorry not really had a chance to get on this week - been mega busy at work. Are we still meant to be on at 6pm?

Hi All Sorry about your job Kelly, thats awful! Have you applied for anything new yet? And well done on your losses ladies! A pound is still a pound Miss Cheeky!! I lost 3lb this week, so am officially on the straight and narrow until next Monday when I will be having a McD's breakie to...

6pm is fine with me!

Oooh - is 7pm Dancing on Ice time?? Sorry to be a geek but I can't possibly miss that!! Any other time is OK with me though! Sorry!!!!

Me too!!:8855: Felt really guilty actually! Glad I wasn't alone!! :D Had a nice 'Controlled Cheat' meal on Sat - came home and it all left me quite quickly :sign0131: ! (sorry TMI) Kelly - I am up for setting a time. Good thinking Batman! Ciao for now! Sal

Ey up! Piella - Excellent news on the size 12's!! I'm hoping to be back there myself in a couple more weeks! It is a good feeling isn't it?! We have a fancy do to go to at the end of April with the local Rugby club (BF plays) and I was trying to find a nice dress to wear - I have 3 posh ones...

Thanks chaps! Just feel a bit guilty that you're all being more supportive than I seem to have time for at the mo! Should be back to normal soon. Well done Kelly!! :stickdance::party0011: I lost 4.5lbs this week :D. Not sure how, I did eat on Sat night but I didn't go mad. Spoke to CDC...

Hiya! Sorry I've not been very good at keeping up. Been so busy with work this last week. Also have family in hospital so have been trying to fit vsits in aswell. Ended up having a dinner on Saturday nite :sigh:, as BF was out drinking and I was just so :mad: that I am doing this with no support...

I don't mind what happens! I've hardly been 100% commited myself, but we can all gee eachother along. We all know what the diet is like and it's not like you've got no experience of it! I am happy to go with he flow... 2nd WI tonight - will have to see how much damage I did at the weekend!

Hi All, Sorry I've been quiet - had a mega busy week, grandmother had a fall and is back in hospital (long story!) and then had friends visiting on Friday for the weekend. I have been so far from the rails I've forgotten what they look like! But I am back on CD 100% today and will go to WI...

Hi Everyone! Well, I went for my first WI last night. CDC said I'd lost 6lbs. However....she also said I was now 11.6lb, and I was 12st to begin with - so I make that 8lbs :confused: ?? Have asked her to double check it this morning but have heard nothing as yet! Hmmmmm.... Everyone having...

Hi Ladies, Sorry I've been a bit quiet! Had a mega busy weekend decorating and wanting food!! First WI tomorrow eve, so fingers crossed I've lost a fair bit. Got friends coming on Friday night for the weekend and I will be eating dinner on Fri & Sat night, then back onto CD on Sunday morning...

Hi Ladies! I survived day 1 :D, day 2 is not too bad at all. Downing water like its running out! I've only just had my first shake (at 12.30pm) so this afternoon should be easier than yesterday was. I seem to have lost 3lbs since yesterday morning, although I am not taking that for definite...

I have just started CD (first time), and so far have not found it too bad. I am drinking LOADS and have managed to stretch out my shake and soup to 11am and 2.45pm, but apart from a little niggling hungry feeling, I feel OK. Just wondering, is today the worst generally or is it the 2nd/3rd day...

Hey hey Ladies! Well - I've got my food (!) for the week, CDC was really nice and wants me to wait until she rings me tomorrow cos she needs to check the nut allergy advice on the packs :(! I said it doesn't look like they contain nuts but she was quite insistant I don't start till she's...

Thanks for that Piella - I'm sure he'll come round when he starts to see results. It just bugs me a little that the only reason I HAVE to think about my weight right now is because of the IVF. It's just so unfair! I could understand if I was like 95stone! But I'm not! So how much have you...

Morning/Afternoon all!! Well, I have upped mywater intake (although I drink loads anyway) today in prep for tomorrow. Got my meeting with CDC tonight at 5pm ish - I am excited and nervous too. DF thinks its a stupid idea and I won't stick to it and that it is unhealthy. I have pointed out to...

Hi, I need to lose 9lbs quickly, in order to be put on an IVF waiting list. Does anyone know of any reason CD would mess up my cycle enough to stop me ovulating or causing a problem for IVF? Has anyone found out they are pregnant while on it? Obviously, I don't want to do anything which is...

Posting is definitely addictive! I'm also trying to keep up with a fertility clinic board too so poor DF is sitting all on his own! (He probably prefers it that way TBH!). Great news on my planned meals - that is a relief! I am quite able to draw the line under a mishap - so feel quite confident...

Hi Sharon! I am hoping to lose 30lb ish. Just wondering what the score is if you have something planned where you will have to eat (I have two meals out with friends who are coming to visit on the 14th and the 21st). I am fine with not drinking, but is a meal a major no-no on those two occasions...

Oki doki! Thanks - will do! I've never done CD before, so I am not really sure what to expect. My DF thinks I'm stupid and won't be able to stick to it :rolleyes: - 1 & 2lb per week losses don't spur me on too much as they are usually followed by a gain! I've lost 2st before on Slimming World...

My current weight is 11.10lbs, BUT I won't actually be starting CB until Wednesday as I have my 1st meeting tomorrow eve. Is it still OK to join? Sorry - should have asked that first really :sigh:

Yay!!!! Finally! Will introduce myself in a bit - just wanted to accept the spot! xx

Do you still have room for a little (ish!) one? Or have I been beaten to it again?! Would like to join if poss!

Any spaces left anywhere? I've checked all the teams listed above and they all seem to be full up! I'm everso nice...promise! :flowers:

Hi! Do you still have a space left?

Hey! Do you still have a space left?

Whoops! I must be too slow! Was in the bath! :cry:Good luck to you all!

Hey! I don't know about this team thing?? But I am going to start Cambridge on Wednesday and would love to join a thread for some support!!
