Hi guys! How's everyone getting on? So went to see my new cdc this morning, and she's suggested i go on the 810 plan due to my hectic lifestyle- probably more chance in me sticking to it! Just wanted to know...has anyone else started on this plan? what were the losses, and did you excersise...

Truly inspirational post here! I feel that i'm deprived whilst on ss,but in actual fact the elated feeling of watching my clothes get looser and people sayimh how gret i look lasts alot longer than the temporary 'high' i get from stuffing my face! Nice one! x

Thank you so much for your reply, I will have a look now xx

Hey all! I've been doing Cambridge for ages, and noticed this sa a cheaper alternative, do the shakes taste similar to Cambridge and would you say it was worth getting involved? The only thing that puts me off cambridge is the cost, as I know its a brill way to shift the lbs! Cheers guys in...

Hi there! I am starting back on the 5th after a large weight loss first time around! Perhaps we could be support buddies! We can do it!! yey! :)

My first day of re-start is over and i feel okay! I think tomorrow and tuesday is gonna be the hardest however, so we'll see!! I think the hardest thing for me is the 'boredom eating'. Like today, my partner and i sat down to watch a film together and even though i managed to do SS for 10...

Hello everyone! I'm not sure if some of you remember me from before! I'm back on cambridge SS! I did lose 2st on it a few monthes back, but had a short blip over the summer holidays :break_diet: I haven't put it all back on though, thank God- it's mainy inches rather than lbs, so i suppose...

Thanks for replying Ali! Well done on your loss! That is amazing! Will keep u updated on my progress! xx

Hi everyone, I am a returner to Cambridge. I've had a few months off since losing nearly 3 stone on it! I got fed up and thought i could do it alone.....i was wrong, i should have gone through the stages properly with my councilor!!! So here i go again! I haven't started it yet, as my councilor...

Thanks for the replies guys! Sandypops- i have managed it for so long..I don't trust myself either!! I just hope I've got the will power to JUST not drink alcohol!!! Thanks cambridgediet08! I'm glad you said that, cos I'm sure i would have also had some strange looks from the bar staff ordering...

Hey everyone! I was wondering if there were any cdc's out there that could help me out with something. I have a night out coming up next week and i HAVE to go by strict orders of my mates (I've managed to get out of everything so far without letting on what I'm doing!) So they wont take no for...

Wow! you've done really well chick! can't wait to see you at goal!!! x

Hey guys! Thank you so much for all your lovely responses. The ideas are all great:) However, i have seen a light at the end of the tunnel after all!!! I had a long chat with my mum about it all, and after discussing with her how important it is to go through all the stages of the porgramme in...

Thanks for all your replies guys, I didn't really want to go into it earlier, but not only is the money an issue, but my partner and i are splitting up, which means i have to move back to my parents' with my son, and there is no way i'll be able to keep up the cdc meetings etc, because the...

Hey everyone! I'm really in a spot of bother:( I'm on SS at the moment, and i'm REALLY skint. I cant afford to stay on cambridge. My mum had had to lend me cash to buy me some packs that will last me til 25th may, and then thats it! No more shakes! I'm really panicking because i've got 2stone...

Wooo wooo! 5lbs gone! am in the 10's! I didn't weigh this much even before i had my son!!!! How did everyone's weigh in's go this week? I haven't had much time to properly browse on here this week:( xxxxxxx

Hey love, all i will say is that this diet will probably be the quickest way to lose 10 stone. If you look at it like a stone a month (which is the average weight loss) then it will take you 10 months witch is no time at all. And on the plus side, if you have got a lot of weight to lose, you...

I am so chuffed, another 1/2 stone gone forever! Does anyone else agree that once the 'hunger' goes away, The diet becomes a bit easier to cope with?? Don't get me wrong, i do have my down days where i feel sorry for myself because i can't eat real food, but they are getting less and less...

Hi guys! How is everyone doing? I haven't posted for a while cos I'm visiting my parents at the mo, but i have managed to borrow a mates comp as I'm stressing out and need some advice..... I don't usually drink coffee, but today I've had 2 cups of black coffee today as i was feeling very hungry...

I'm on week 3 (nearly 4) and my losses have been great, I'm not doing any strenuous excersise just walking and a yoga DVD (weight watchers move more) Its got loads of different workouts you can to ad the time ranges form 10 min workouts to 90 min depending on how much time you've got!! I was...

Hahahaha! Katycakes i was waiting for someone to mention the dreaded broccoli and cheese soup! that one is absolutely rancid! It should be banned!LOL! If any flavour is gonna make somebody give up- it's definately THAT one!!!

That was my exact problem- boredom!!! My OH went to London last weekend for 2 nights and i had the TV to myself, so i put my little one to bed and settled down to a nice chilled evening in front of the box! There were 3 great films on too. Any whoo- i'll get to my point...Lol! That would have...

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!! I can always count on you lovely peps to make me feel good about myself! FAO weim01, if your hair is in relatively good condition to begin with, it would be okay, the bleach they use in some salons aren't as harsh as they used to be, so you wouldn't...

I don't know what possessed me, but i made an appointment with the hairdresser yesterday and decided to dye my very blonde hair to a chocolate brown!!! The result....I actually really like it! It matches my eyebrows so it looks quite natural! My makeover is starting!! I just felt yesterday that...

Thanks for answering the Q's slimbride! And yes, you're probably right- planning a wedding will probably be even more taxing on you that going to the Gym! Lol!!! well done on the loss! you will be feeling like a million dollars on your big day. And i bet you'll be looking a million dollars too...

Well done lady!! That is wicked motivation to keep going isn't it?? I was really shocked with my first WI too, cos on all other diets i have only lost 2lbs max a week! Well done you!!!!!!:)

I know how you feel ladies- I'm stating to get a bit of a 'Magnum PI too! My periods have gone really irregular, i had one last week, but was 2 weeks early? It's all very confusing! I don't know where i am with it at the mo. I'm hoping that the hairy face and periods get back to normal once we...

Gooooood morning everyone! How are y'all. Not such a nice day here is South Wales, but I am feeling fantastico, seeing as i lost another 5LBS this week!!! wooop wooop! I am finally under 12st!! My CDC has given me a bar to try, but I'm a bit worried about it slowing my weight loss down...

I have the EXACT same problem. I use loads of E45 cream with mittens to wear to bed, also, i make sure i wear rubber gloves when washing up as i find that makes them dry AND itchy otherwise! I'm not sure why, i forgot to ask my CDC last night...anyway, hope this helps:)

yeah, sparkles is right, don't beat yourself up. get up today, dust yourself off and start again. This is a lesson learned for you because if not you wouldn't feel so rotten. You'll think twice before doing it again if you think really hard about how you feel now! Also, maybe you could think...

Just woke up and read through all your messages and i feel better already! Thanks guys, you are all truly supportive:) It is so comforting to know that there are people feeling the same as me! My friends and family don't really approve of the diet, so you lot are pretty much my only support...

Hi everyone:) I know i don't post much one her, so forgive me if all my posts seem to do is moan, but I am feeling REALLY down today. I've got my 3rd WI tomorrow, and even thou the scales have told me that up til now i have lost 12lbs, I'm just not FEELING like I've lost any weight, i see myself...

Hi! I was wondering the same question, I'm on week 3 and i just don't have the energy to go to the gym (Ido have a 16 month old little boy to run around after though!) so i can't be knacked all day as it's not fair on him! I did the Davina Mccall Power of 3 workout dvd the other day and i had...

We all get the weak moments love, they are what makes us more determined not to do it again cos u remember how rotten u...

oops! will do! thanks guys! hope i do as well as you two! xx

Hey sparkles, Maybe you could go back to the shakes for a couple of weeks, and then alternate with the bars? That's what I'm gonna do when i get to my first target of 10st. Up to you tho, as a friend of mine cant fave the shakes any longer and needs something to chew!! Stick at it tho, my CDC...

Hey guys, looks like it's gonna be a lovely day again today! Can't believe I've got my first WI tonight! This week seems to have gone so quick! I am really nervous though, I've tried so hard to be good, so I'm hoping I've lost some weight and inches or i think I'll feel pretty deflated :( It's...
