    Why i am an idiot...

    Yeh exactly and it's weird because I feel like this is normal.. Temptations aren't really an issue in this mind set and it feels almost easy apart from having to be a bit more organised meal wise.... I hope it stays like this and that as my points allowance gradually decreases it stays this...

    warning-silly silly mood!!!-kind of mean and funny at the same time :)

    haha i know what you mean and i'm only on day 2! I too am ex WW and the whole thing wound me up! I hated the meetings but it's the attitude that bugs me.... and the cheating! My friend used to count her points up every day but she'd never count alcohol points, because then it'd just be too...

    i heard something similar about drowning cells - which is what happens when people on ecstasy die- they drink too much water!

    How Much Roughly?

    my CDC told me it was £2 a pack, so therefore I paid £42 for a week's supply!? am I being ripped off!! (I've only just started so I don't have the bars yet)

    i think they're gorgeous!!!!

    the tomato is the only one i've tried but it was nice! I've got oriental chili or something to try later on, but I've got a feeling it'll be grim!

    My journey - Day 9 - packed in!!!

    hi Wobbly good luck! I started yesterday too. Seems like so many people are starting at the same time as me! Maybe we should make a team with new CD starters? Though I don't know how the team things work. god knows we're all in the same boat, failed yo yo dieters anyone? Thought so... All the...

    day 2 and panicking about the future!

    So true about being left out.. with this particular group of friends especially, because they are all slim, fit and beautiful! I always feel like such a lemon when we go clubbing or whatever because I never dress up, I always go casual in whatever I can hide myself best in. If I put on make up...

    day 2 and panicking about the future!

    Hi everyone I'm on day 2 and so far so good! Maybe slightly lacking energy but that could just be cos i overslept! Not really hungry or grouchy or craving food (unless dreaming about chocolate counts!) so it's going a lot better than anticipated! But I'm already starting to panic- I just...

    Cambridge diet first day

    ace sounds good! well i sorted out the mood thing but not the PM thing! I'm a bit reluctant to put my email address out there publicly... I've got my first weigh in on friday. Had the apple and cinnamon porridge this morning- much nicer than the original flavour I think. It's weird how I'm...

    Just had my first sachet

    Well I just had the spicy tomato soup and i hvae to say it was pretty tasty!! Definately my favourite so far.. the milkshake (choc orange) was OK but nothing to shout about... but yeah the soup was nice. Although there was a big of a weird white froth which I found a bit odd so tried not to look...

    Cambridge diet first day

    Hi flowey, i don't think i've made enough posts to be able to PM you? (Does anyone know about this?? Also I can't change my mood even though other people with fewer posts can!?) Anyway.. I just started today and are stats aren't dissimilar so I'd be up for being a buddy if you are... let me...

    New to Forum/Cambridge

    Hi Fi-be! good luck! Wish I'd ever been a size 10!! I'm sure you will achieve it if you want it. Barnsley babe- snap! I started today too, with a porridge.. just had a chocolate orange shake. Both not bad but a bit of a weird after taste I wasn't expecting? But I'm sure I'll soon get used to it!

    Just had my first sachet

    and ew! had an original porridge sachet.. Think I should get used to it.. Think it's the artificial sweeteners I object to (the taste of) and the slightly yellow colour! but not that bad. At least it meant I had to wash it down with a half a pint of water hahaha... so that bit's easy so far...

    balanced view of CD?

    I feel much more reassured now thanks everyone!... also, how many people die a year because of obesity??? A much more significant number than any sort of diet, I'm certain. I'm off to have my first Porridge sachet :)

    balanced view of CD?

    yeah exactly i mean if it was dangerous in the TINIEST bit then they wouldn't be able to sell the sachet's would they!! and the advice we're given to drink loads of water will surely be partly for liver and kidney function, so I intend to do that! Totally agree about WW- that was my problem...

    balanced view of CD?

    Hi everyone... thanks for all your replies! I just got a bit freaked out when I read the wikipedia page.. But I know that a)if i get ill, stop b) it's not severe ketosis you go into and c)I won't be on this thing forever! Time to stop reading about it and get on with it now!

    Hurdles already. Advice anyone?

    hi everyone, thanks for the advice. I postponed it in the end. Turns out I made the right decision because the friends we went to see made a huge effort and cooked us delicious meals, I'd have been gutted if i'd had to say I couldn't eat any! So it was a good decision I think. So I'm starting...

    Hurdles already. Advice anyone?

    Thanks girls. I think it would be really tempting to just give up and have the meal on Sunday.. I know what I'm like!! It should be easier to start on Monday because it's weekdays- fewer temptations. Then by the next weekend i'll be in Ketosis so won't want to spoil it and come out of it... I...

    Hurdles already. Advice anyone?

    Hi everyone I am starting cambridge tomorrow but I've already come across a hurdle! Thing is, on Sunday we have arranged to go and see friends. No doubt they'll want to go out for lunch or diner.. I don't know whether to just sod it and start on Monday -but then I know i'll just find things...

    balanced view of CD?

    This is it.. I find I'm not very disciplined so on WW etc so it's easy to sneak in naughty foods and just write it off in your points, but it soon gets out of hand and you just feel like not bothering anymore. At least I'm not working at the moment so tiredness is OK! :)

Play.com (UK) : Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 : Nintendo Wii - Free Delivery it's loads of mini games (including a cow racing one where you sit on the board).. some of them are really fun! not sure if they'd help shift the weight really, though it does hurt your bum!

    Chewing gum and ice cream?

    Ah yeah I've heard similar things mentioned about diet coke/coke zero- that it can make you hungry! Probably best avoided at first at least anyway. Thanks everyone and thanks for moving it! Sorry I'm new to this I'm still not quite sure what's going on...!

    Yeah totally! I just avoid mirrors ha ha.. But then it's not like it's sneaked up on me or I don't know why it's happened. I know it's because I don't exercise enough (especially since getting made redundant!) I eat too much and more importantly I eat the wrong stuff, I just love chocolate...

    Chewing gum and ice cream?

    Weird question maybe but on CD (i'm about to start hopefully!) are you allowed sugar free chewing gum!? Also, how about freezing the milkshakes in moulds to make ice creams in summer? anyone tried this?

    Yeah it's starting to look that way! I know I'm jumping the gun as I haven't even started yet! But I'm not looking forward to having to fork out for that, or a scar- but it's going to be better than how things are at the moment!! Good luck with your CD! Hope I can get started soon too
