I lost 4lb!! so yes it's true. I have already lost over a stone before I started Cambridge. I'm not continuing it but I will certainly continue with weightloss. As a result of borking :rolleyes: I didn't drink tea and haven't had a cuppa for 4 days which is a blinkin miracle for me! That...

Hi there, my CDC said it could be the high concentration of vits and minerals. I have to say it was enough to put me right off. I felt very ill for a whole day and hate being sick anyway. I decided it wasn't for me but have really kick started a healthy eating plan. As I'd already gone...

I don't know quite what it was that didn't agree with me but I know I haven't felt that ill in a long time and hope never to again! Sorry Cambridge you're just not my type.:wave_cry:

I've just surfaced after a day throwing up and a day recovering. I took my first Cambridge sachet and was pretty sick about an hour or so afterwards. Apparently sometimes people with iron deficiency problems can have sickness after using Cambridge. Don't quote me, that was the basic idea...

Had a terrible day. I was violently sick after the first one and haven't touched anything since. My CDC wonders if I've had a reaction to such a high concentration of vitamins and minerals. Apparently in rare cases people do. I was advised to half the sachet and double the water. Personally...

aaarrrrgggghhh just seen an advert for some really scrummy food.:cry:

Thanks for that, I'm just wondering what CDC means. Not up with the lingo yet sorry! I know it's Cambridge diet something but what's the final C?? lol *blush*

had my breakfast shake, fibre and am on my water. *must.think.thin.*

Thanks guys lots of really encouraging support already. Just what we need eh? Someone asked how much I have to lose, well a whopping six stone but I'm aiming for the first three as I know that will make a massive difference. I'm aiming to just get through the first few days as I know folk say...

Hi there thanks for that. Lots to read and take in but I'm ready to give it a shot. I've a great CD lady helping me too here's hoping. :)

I've met a few people who have lost an enormous amount of weight on CD and have decided to take the leap. I've had my weigh in and talk etc and am starting tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about feeling hungry for the first few days until ketosis kicks in. Also about getting the shakes from no...

Well after six months away (and working in a restaurant, not good!) I am back and determined to bust some lard before I am 40 in December. I don't have an issue with being 40 but I DO have issues with having my photograph taken! Feeling pretty bmad with myself for having let things slip. I'm...

Hi there and welcome. It can be done 1lb at a time. The best quote I read was ''in a years time you will be glad you started today'' I started 5 weeks ago and have lost 11lb I have several stones to lose and am glad I've made a good start. Good luck with yours xx

Another lb off. One very happy lass. Not much time to post just wanted to update my sig etc. Yay!

I credit myself for not buying the chocolate croissant that was reduced to 15p!

Me either I LOVE this show. Looking forward to it. :happy036:

can you work out 100g (presuming that's a dry weight) and divide it by three to get your 27g weight then add your milk on?

Well after joining the WeMitts a month ago I am happily 10lb lighter. I can't remember the last time I stuck to a diet this long before. I think it was a bout 7 years ago! I'm determined to keep going and so glad for this forum. It really helps.

I credit myself with losing 'just one pound' this week as it was a really difficult week. A pound off is better than a pounnd on.

another 1lb lost this week so my total for the first month is 10lb. I'm delighted. One of thie best things I read was ''in a years time you'll be glad you started today'' Well I'm glad I started a month ago and look forward to waving goodbye to more weight. Thank you for all your support.

Very well said! :clap:

Thank you!xx

I credit myself for making small steps in the right direction and not beating myself up if a make the occasional step backwards.

so what is the secret? Cos I can't afford the book just now :(

Porgeous you look amazing!!! well done you!

Thanks a lot. Not writing a lot in here just now. Nearing a month and am hoping for a 10lb loss by my weigh in day on Monday morning. Need to keep the momentum going as it's an inbetween time when I'm not down a clothes size yet and need to hold on so I don't fall off the wagon. I really...

Indeed, you look amazing Blonde Logic.

I haven't lost weight this week either but still have a couple more days to go before my proper reading. However it's good to show I haven't gained!

It would serve him right if he couldn't lose it all again. Sorry I'm in that kinda mood!

excellent response KD just one pound every week makes 52 in a year. Better one pound off than one pound on.

13lb in a week! :O that's amazing!!

Thanks guys. I'm sticking at it and taking it one day at a time. :)

Thanks Tracey, I think you're the only one who reads this thread LOL thanks for the encouragement though xx

Well another 2lb is off so I'm happy with a total of 9lb so far. I need to keep motivated nad losing a steady amount heading toward the first stone off.

I 'half' agree with you there re weight and fat but as I said before if I don't weigh myself my weght creeps up and up and up. I now realise I need to keep a check on it daily for a long time until I have completely retrained my thinking and eating. That won't happen over night. My second...

Same here, I live on a Scottish Island and the furthest North is Edinburgh but it's still fun to look at.

Brilliant! I love it.

Thanks for that :)

six points per day or week? Sorry to be thick lol. I only have until Monday morning. eek!

Does anyone have any idea how many points over you have to be before you gain weight or stay the same? Just wondered how much damage can be done in how much time.... I miscalculated something yesterday and went 9 points over :eek:

Fantastic start. What a boost, well done!

aren't our bodies funny things? I can understand not weighing if your body does that. I never weigh myself once I've eaten or even had a drink as it's too depressing! But The first thing I do every morning is get up, go to the loo and then hop on the scales.

I'm like you Sparklyn. I coulnd't believe it when I found this foum as it's such a help to keep me on the straight and narrow. Especially as I'm doing WW at home this time. This place is great for so many things. There's always someone who has been through what you're going through. keep up...

When I stopped weighing myself I gained another 2 stone!!! I will never let that happen again.

Yeah I take Monday morning figs as my official. Like someone said if I see I've gained a little I can take action straight away.

Welcome and good luck with that. Let us know how you get on. x

I'm exactly the same. I have to have the whole thing or nothing but there is no middle ground. I find it easier to cut it out all together than try and have a couple of squares. I prefer to save up my points so I can buy something if I really am climbing the walls.

I know we're supposed to weigh ourselves only once a week but I have to admit I weigh myself every morning. :copon: I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just wondered who else does it?

I think breaking habits is a huge one as well as motivation and dealing with triggers. I also think addiction can play a part. Is it possible to be addicted to chocolate or is that a myth? We often say I'm a chocoholic. Just a thought.....

yeah good point. :)

Pleased to say I had a good day today. Yesterday I went over my points bu six. Am taking off one point a day to make up for it. Glad I didn't go right off the rails.

aaah ok makes sense now. I had 2 so that's 1.5. Thank you both xx

Thank you both. However do I go for 1.5 or 2. Choices choices :cry:

Weetabix. I don't have the packaging and it's not in my book :confused: Many thanks xx

Fantastic pics Jim and a real inspiration. Well done on getting it off and keeping it off.

Good point. Thankfully I managed to stop a complete meltdown and end up running through the kitchen like a pacman eating everything in sight. (It's happened before!) So activity points would do me good. I think the important thing is to stop things before they snowball.

Day one of week three and I went a little off the rails today. I've gone 6 points over my allowance. :sign0007: I don't want to ruin things so I'm going to aim to have one point per day less this week to try and recoup. Any other ideas or hiccups people want to share?

How spooky I was just coming to start a thread about this. I know the sat fat can often be less than half but I tend to work on halving if the amount isn't given.

Well done Janey it's such a great feeling. Rainbow 27 I love that quote. ''a year form today you will wish you had started today'' Brilliant I will put that up somewhere in my kitchen.

Thanks Tracy yes I'm fine now and very happy with another 2lb off. This is pmt week so already feeling bloated. I need to be strong as I am prone to want chocolate much more. My goal this week is to stick to the programme and fit in some exercise in. Here goes!

well done. Excellent start. I lost 5lb in week one and it really motivated me for the next week. xx

These pics are simply amazing. I only hope I can post my pics on here one day. Well done everyone you all look fantastic.

I've read that one too shazpaz. I found it a page turner.

I'd love a job in a library, lol what bliss!

Have never heard of this but it's an interesting idea. I don't think I'd be disciplined enough to carry it out though.

It seems totally idiotic to me. However maybe I can use it as an excuse. ''Yeah I know I'm 7 stone over weight I'm doing it to relate to other fat people!'' I could add it to the entire book of excuses I have now!

Thought I better check in. I've had an unusual week as I had to have day surgery on Friday which meant things were a bit up the shoot for Thursday/Friday. However I'm back to counting points and think I did ok at the begining of the week so am hopeful for another loss this week. Monday will...

I'm a real chocoholic and this has been my downfall. I'm all or nothing so can't just have 1 square! If there's chocolate in the house I have to eat it. I have found drinking a low call hot choc helps or failing that one of those little Freddo bars. That way I get to eat the whole thing just...

That's amazing weight losses, thanks for letting me know it's inspiring. I snuck on the scales this morning. Official weighing day isn't until Monday but I was delighted to see I had lost 5lbs!! Sticking to the plan has paid off.

Well according to my bmi guide a whopping 7 stone!!! But I have to not look at the mountain otherwise I would give up right now. Obviously I would be happy with a significant loss and realise I'm in it for the long haul.

I'm doing WW at home. There aren't classes where I live and I have all the stuff including recently much needed motivation. This forum really helps. Looks like you've lost loads! well done. x

Four and a half days of following the plan down and am feeling pleased. It's all about the attitude in the head first. I really need this place though even if it's to read other stories and look at the inspirational pictures. It keeps me going.....

Made it through day three. It really is one day at a time. Feeling motivated and determined. Even took some 'before' pictures of myself. I look utterly gross but it has to be done. Anyway...go me :)

lol thank you. New blood to here but not new blood to dieting. However.....ImITT!!!!!!!

Hahaha sorry guys I'm new here and didn't look at the date. I take full responsibility for getting your hopes up. :sign0144: :d'oh:

I get like that especially when I start diets. I've been getting up in the night. It's worth it to be a loser though. :newbie:

A lovely recipie I have tried tonight is stewed apple with chopped bread on top, a little melted marg and some sweetener or sugar and baked in the oven until the bread goes crunchy. It was delicious and a sweet fix. You can work out the points according to how much bread/sugar/marg etc you use...

I'm keeping going. Don't want to weaken. This isn't always a great time for me. The post school/pre tea bit. eek!

So far so good for me. keep it up guys!

Thanks and all the best to you too. We can do it! :angel09:

I'm in it to win it today. This takes one day at a time.

Well as I said in my diary. Just had a great night. Didn't eat a thing while I was asleep. LOL.

Hi there, I'd be interested but I don't think I can email until I've nade a few more posts lol. Anyway would love to hear more. I love the WeMITT name.

Had a great night. Didn't eat a thing while I was asleep.:8855:

:hug99:Thanks Silence

Hi, I'm following WW but doing it from home as no classes where I live. Glad to be here.

Hi there, I'm doing WW at home. I've done it before so know it well. I think this forum could really help. If only I'd discovered it before!

Hi just starting up my diary. I am 40 in December this year and want to be looking so good. I've been dieting for about 20 years I guess! But I really am the heaviest I've ever been and as I'm getting older I think more about my health. Anyway just getting started and thought I'd get a diary...

Know exactly where you are coming from. Good luck. Personally I'm so glad I found this forum. This could really be the making of me. (or the losing of me!)

I'm a classic yo yo too but more of a lose two stone gain three type. Oh to be 17 again! I will be 40 at the end of this year and determined I will be the slimmest I have been in yonks. You've done really well so far.

I love the name! I have started my diet and I have 7 stone to lose. The amount seems overwhelming and I know I have to break it don into more manageable amounts but am so glad to have found this forum. Anyway here goes.... (and I really blinkin' mean it this time!)

Add me to the list because I REALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME!!! sorry for shouting. Just giving myself a kick up the (fat) backside lol

Hi all, I've just started doing WW at home as there isn't a local club. I have all the info from having done it before so I know what I'm doing. I'm very depressed about my weight and really need to do something about it so I am more healthy as well as fitting into clothes and looking better...

I've read quite a few from various lists. I am currently reading The 19th Wife from the 2009 list and think it's absolutley brilliant.

Hi all I stumbled across this forum and thought it a great place to join for support with my weightloss. I have a mountain to lose but am determined. I'm following WW but not going to a class just using the books at home. First weigh in was yesterday and a shocker.
