im hung over and desperate for a fry up in my local cafe. i keep thinking i ballsed it up last night by drinking, and eating!!!! :cry:

hey! similar goals/weight here two. :) im in week 4 now, and finally got my mind set right. just finished a 100% ss+ week. feeling very chuffed having just lost another 4lbs. good luck!

brighton girl here, could very possibly meet you Emma1904!? what u say?

hhhmmm on a blip week = 2lb loss (if i dont gain that is) on a 100% week (which iv only just managed the last week...) 4lbs. im doing ss+, previously with food but the past week has been 4 packs a day. as my cdc said to me earlier, she agreed with what uv said. after the first two weeks...

haha it is indeed! been having a mixture of chuckling and total guilt all day about it!

ok, so you may have not lost lots in inches, but think of all the internal fat ur burning up! you can be really skinny but still have 50% body fat - primarily around ur insides. maybe get what iv got, and get a scales that measures body fat also. if ur not seeing it in inches, youl definatly see...

i pay 53.76 for 28 packs - that be bars, tetras, shakes, what ever. mouse mix = £5 for me

science aside.... my cdc said my losses would be less each week if i did exercise, but id notice the inch loss alot more.

omg...the penny drops..... i get what u think i said..im sooooooooooooooo sorry to anyone who read that differently than i intended. im going to edit it now to avoid further confusion..... sorry again!!!!!!

as a kid i always said toof instead of tooth lol i fingured people would know what i meant when i said toof.

hhhmmm i think after day 5 of being 100% shakes, then i feel the reduced appitite. but then again as already suggested, i have tetras ad bars. i tend to eat half a bar at a time (unless its caramel - then i snuffle it down like they are being discontinued - oh wait - they are!!! lol) however...

sorry everyone, but im gonna bring this up again. ketosis! yay! i had a binge last wednesday night, and had a small gain, and thats fine. but been on plan for 5 days now and im still not in ketosis. last time round i was in it on day two! i keep reading posts, and reminding people myself...

good'day ladies. well im proud of myself as i went into university for the first time in weeks (suffer a little from agrophobia) so well chuffed that i went in and did a lecture and seminar, despite my brain constantly telling me to go home! as for weight.. well im down 5lbs from last week...

hellooooo. im a restarter too, on my 5th(?) week. hope to see you around bb

iv been on the diet for 4/5 weeks now (time has flown i cant remember) and im doing ss+. but this past week iv moved from doing 3 shakes and a meal a day to 4 shakes and milk in my coffee. i cant handle right now the prospect of food. i kept on binging and slowing my weight losses down - as u...

well done for distracting yourself!! how are you doing now? unfortunatly, no purple pee sticks for me yet. fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!

yeah id say it was drier skin becoming more sensitive. that being said though, sometimes allergic reactions can just happen out of the blue. iv got a ring that i adore, but after about 6 months i had to stop wearing it on a particular finger as i became allergic to it. only on that finger...

in the evening with the pther half is eating crisps . or pizza. hell, anytime he eats anything junk food related!!!

what plan are you on? have you considered ss+? you can have your cake and eat it - so long as its a protien cake lol the first week i think is the hardest. im a restarter too, been back on the plan for 4/5 weeks (cant remember really) and iv had a few blips. but you know what i do? i forgive...

MM, yeah i get that all the time too, except i get called everything but melanie - melissa etc etc.

hhhmm its a toughy. once u get into the cycle of eating...then over eating.. its hard to get out of. im guessing its too late and uv ordered the pizza. i say - to hell with it for today. enjoy the pizza and start afresh tomorrow. keep thinking of getting into ketosis - iv bought myself some...

afternoon all. firstly, kudos on being called Mel ;) ( for i am a melanie - woop) secodnly, sadly i missed the moon last night :( i was fast asleep. had a hectic couple of days what with working night shifts etc and last night i craaaaaaaaaaaaashed big time. anywho, nothing to report from...

ah its a toughy alright! but i say to hell with it and enjoy your 3 days. like u say, dont over stuff yourself, chose high protein meals - ceasar salads are great (avoiding the crutons of course) i can empathise. its coming up to my first anaversary with my partner, and theres no way in hell am...

im thinking of giving £1 to charity for every lb that i lose, so maybe on the day i reach target, il donate £63 lbs

well done for choosing the CD. im a re-starter too with not too distant goals/starting weight. im on week 3 and have lost 8lbs though had a blip yesterday, so im treating today as day 1 again doing ss+. all the best xx

thanks :) il be wearing that for my after picture and will post it up on here when i reach my goal

aw thanks for that. i was gutted. i went into an exercise shop for women the other day. they had nothing over a small sized 14 :( and it was expensive!

iv ordered this dress in a size 12. cant wait for it to arrive and to be able to fit into it by the end of summer hopefully... Animal Jersey Dress | Littlewoods.com

im doing ss+ but have struggled the last week or so. so i took a day off. i had quorn for breakfast lunch and dinner, then in the evening i went all out and had a big bag of crisps. BUT iv asked my cdc if i can do 4 shakes a day now instead. i can stand the temptation of foooooooood! only...

yup, ur not alone in this. very normal, but it will pass x

im not doing so well. only lost 7lbs to far :( 14 to go

finally!!!! down to 13 13 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i saw in boots it was something like 75p per shake....

anyone heard of this diet? i saw it in boots the other day, and i was wondering if its any different from the cambridge diet im doing now? it seems a hell of a lot cheeper!!! cant find on their website weither or not it puts you into ketosis. any clues??

my cdc said she doesnt charge as much as recommended for products. she only charges a fiver for the mix a mouse for example. that way she says, she gets more business. doubt she will bother with the 10p rise

iv been freeeezing since starting the diet 2 weeks ago. i never complain about the cold normally!

im 5'5, and im usually a size 12 at 10.5 - 11 stone. i used to carry my weight evenly, but now i carry it all on my tummy :(

sorry for going off topic, but i was wondering if i could pester you all on behalf of a charity i support. dont go away! this is not spam! in august im doing a 5 mile run (god help me!!) for a charity called cardiomyopathy. cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that took the life of my best...

well done you!!

im off to the pub this evening, and im wondeirng what i can drink? after reading all the posts here about diet drinks you cant have, im left wondering what i CAN have?? :lost:

well its the same with ANY diet. if you go back to your old eating habbits you are bound to put the weight back on. you didnt put the weight on mysteriously. it was the food! i say give it a go. i lost 2 stone last year on this diet and only put on 7lbs of that back on over the course of a year...

just wondering how everyone is doing? i know its only day 2 of march, but are we all being good??

well done :D

^^ exactly what it says in the title. iv only lost 2.5 lbs this week,, and its my first week. i want to just give in and stuff my face right now!!! any words of advice??

oh, and i forgot to add, i wanna lose enough weight to finish off my back tattoo!

aw well done you fantastic :) you must be so pleased. unfortunatly iv only lost 1lb :( but i did lose a lot of weight last week in prep for hte diet, eating lots of protein rich salads etc, and lost 7lbs then, so i guess i can say iv lost 8lbs in total. official weigh in friday. cant wait!! as...

aah so far so good. bit of an upset tummy but that happened last time too. couldd have murdered some cheese and crackers last night - and whilst at the market we bought some chilly jelly - yummers!! but im waiting to treat myself to that. maybe after iv lost a stone. how you finding it? bb x

can we buddy up? day for me too!! returning CD dieter, so i know what im doing, but alwayas willing to share tips and tricks xx

Im having one of my days where im fed up of weight loss being such a slow process. i want to be skinny now now now without any long term effort. i want to eat a bit less cake, then look in the mirror tomorrow morning and see myself that happy ixe 10/12 i used to be. i dont want to feel ashamed...

hiya i do both and lost 1 stone in a month. (though been naught the last couple of weeks and gained 1.5lbs) otherwise, it works for me xx

id just like to say... you were all right! i slowly fell off the wagon and i havnt taken my xenical for over a week now, and have put on a pound and a half :( back on track today though

i had half a roast potato, lots of runner beans, courgette, and a chicken breat, with a bit of bisto gravy. py pudding consisted of muller light yogurt and blackberries.

id like to join please :) im one of those naughty people who weighs at home every week, so i know iv already lost 1lb so far, so id like to add 10lbs to that, losing 11lbs this month in total. **sucks in her belly and crosses her fingers for everyone** bb

i only commented that i know the fat content.you said urself it wont take away a very low fat content. im not saying im skipping meals. i appreciate ur input but i welcome other opinions too.

yes but i KNOW fat content of the yoghurt, and even a banana is less than 0.1gs of fat per 100g.

im sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but i was wondering if people take a pill when the fat % per meal is exremely low? for example, i dont feel i should be "wasting" a pill if i take it with a breakfast of fruit and a yogurt (which is 0.1g per 100g.) i also understand the the pills...

yes, i understand it blocks a 3rd of ur calories from fat, but does the majority of the weight come off via the no more than 15g per meal rule? is the side effect acting as a deterant the key to its success? eat less fat or suffer the consiquenes? blocking only 5 grams of fat per meal doesnt...

iv been tkaing cerazette for a year now. and what awonder drug it is for me! yes it stops periods for most people, including me, which suites me fine. i dont get hormonal. no fuss. no mess. (am i starting to sound like an advert yet ? lol) iv tried a few pills over the years, this is the best...

best post iv read in bloomin agis! and thanks for the pic inthe other post. much appreciated!! :D

iv suffered with horrific IBS over the years. i have some truley disgusting stories i could share, but il stick to the usual - it hurts and its hard to control. unfortunatly i never found my food trigger. it comes and goes from time to time. my dad also suffers with it. could be a stress thing...

oh how i sympathise. what brought me back to SW was actualy feeling quite suicidal the other day because all the self hate suddenly came flooding to me. i had faked confidence for eyars, therefore convinced myself i was, but the last two years the weight has crept on again and im at my heaviest...

hi there, trying slimming world for the 3rd time year :o and doing it online this time a)cause my group has moved b)i work shifts c) im an internet addict and d) having to pay upfront for 3 months is a reason to stick to it for more than a few weeks! im getting the hang of the website at the...

thanks for whoever gave me the rep point :) and thanks for all the warm messages. in quite a bit of pain right now, so thought id ocme on here for a bit of distraction lola123 - im suprised the doc allowed you to do the CD diet if youv had problems before?

was taken into hospital int he early hours of this morning with severe stomach pains. doctors arnt sure if its stomach ulccers or gall bladder problems. they arnt happy with me continuing the diet untill diagnosis has been finalised following scans/scopes etc. :cry: but i lasted 4 days! hope...

what have i done today? i bought scales and a whisk. too lazy to walk to 12 mins there so got the bus. c'est tout! instead of kicking ourselves, i feel we should say huzzah to a lazy friday

absolutly amazing :) well done you!

aw :) i do love this forum *replaces nausea with a warm fuzzy feeling inside*

sa-whit sa-woo!

thanks guys. good to know that this will pass and that im not alone. theres a thread where lots of new poeple are psoting, and they all seem tickety boo! sorry for the drama. i expect looking after the newbies must get tiering sometimes :)

and yes, iv been in ketosis since yesterrday. REALLY dont want to ruin that

yes iv durnk 5 pints today. will get my head down with a dvd soon. just worried that things will get worse. have work tomorrow! urgh how u brave sods got thru this il never know! upmost respect!

its day 4 for me. first 2 days were easy. this jsut feels so unnatural!

my stomach hurts, i feel sick, yet iv had my 3 shakes today. i feel slightly week and craving food. but i know if i start eating, i wont stop. double edged sword. is the nausea/pain normal/worth it in the end?

way hay! i do like wearing nice knickers occasionally, just to make me feel better, even tho no one else knows!

:confused: thanks a bunch guys

i was speaking to my cdc on monday, and she echoed similar thoughts. i was questioning ss & ss+, and she said weight wise, there isnt much difference. but adviced against ss+ if i had very little will power (thats me! one bite turns into 3000...)

can i ask a very personal question? why dont u eat around her?

wow! just WOW! well done you! certainly someone to aspire to :)

iv never owned a pair of scales in ym life untill now. basically im not gonna get to see my cdc face to face for a few weeks, or use her scales. and its likley il not see her on other occasions due to work etc i only plan on keeping them till i reach a maintainable weight that im happy with...

*bump* wheres this "team" dissapeared to?

:jelous: thought id really enjoy it. made me want to scrub my tongue with caustic soda!

theres a few studies that suggest that around ovulation time, women seek out a more ruggid looking mna - chisled jaw, stubble etc yet nearer period time, they prefer baby faced men. saying that, it could be the other way around! lol so long since i read up on it. interesting though

On April 8, 2003, at age 72, Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice while walking to work, hitting his head and causing bleeding around his brain. He lost consciousness on the way to the hospital, where he spent two weeks in intensive care. His death certificate states that the cause of death was "blunt...

oh! must be an urban myth then. someone had told me he was in his late 50's/early 60's cheers :)

iv been having my wobbles regarding why im doing this over the past 24 hours. iv come to a few conclusions, but this web link hit home a bit harder. educating myself about portion control/calories/calories burnt via excersise. jsut a short 3 mins quiz to test ur general knowledge about the...

ok, i was thinking of buying scales anyway, but reading this thread just pushed me that little bit further. so just got back from jolly argos with some weight watcher scales, and IF these are accurate (shall compare them with boots scaes tomorrow) then iv lost a HELL of a lot of weight in just...

i think its aronic that MR Atkins died at a failr young age from a heart attack! i by no means advocate the atkins diet. hence chosing lighter life. but thanks for answering my question :) problem solved

ok, so im going to be annoying now.... another question ... apart from the low calories, what is the fundamental difference between atkins and CD? why is that atkins dieters can also lose great amounts of weight whilst having such a high fat/calorie content?? its still ketosis after all.

certainly some food for thought. just like to add, that im not thinking of indulging on a meat fest. just massaging my curiosity. i was not aware there was such a thing as calorie induced ketosis :S

aw bless ya! early days yet lol

my cdc said it doenst /shouldnt make much difference weight loss wise, but she said "if your gonna do it, just do it. if you dont have the will power of the ox, adding meals is dangerous and you will find urself binging." which for me is quite true. odly though, she adviced me NOT to have my...

had my day three yesterday. was awfeul. by the evening i was cuddled up in bed with a headache and achy limbs. was CRAVIN meat like mad. i had to fight all the usual thoughts of "sod it! what am i doing? kebabs and hot wings are just round the corner from me!!!!!" just went to bed and slept it...

i bought mine months ago, cant remember where from, but you might have more luck just googling ketosis sticks rather than the breand name ketostix. mine arnt brand, and work jsut as well, and were really cheap

morning lovely people. feeling weak today, and i know i should be haviny my first shake around now, but i feel to naseous. can barey finish my green tea and really dont feel like shoveling 3 pints of powdery stuff into my gullet :(

lol sniff it ok, i get the part about high fat content. but chicken is low in fat & calories and the average breast (tee hee i said breast) is about 200g. 80g to me seems a bit drastic

if this diet works by cutting out carbohydrates to induce ketosis, why cant we have the OCCASIONAL meat fest like a mixed grill? doesnt do atkins any harm. so why is it if people need a break, they are adviced to eat a measly small amount of chicken and 2 tables spoons of leaves....? i...

i got my reduction done on the NHS. but you need to prove that ur having mental difficulties as well as physical ones. otherwise i think it costs around 5k

this breaks my heart reading this. i too am/was/is a closet binge eater. i cant go into details right now as bf is looming over my shoulder, but im completely with you with your desperation. i grew up with my mother being an anorexic. then years later, she became a comfort eater. totaly mixed...

well, i cheated and had a breast reduction 4 years ago. best thing i ever di. went from 36G to a C. put on 3 stone, and im back up to a 38D. would love to be a B, but dont think that will ever happen

well , jsut had my first shake. was quite nice (note to self;must buy blender! lol) the intructions say mix with 200- odd mills. without the blnder i dont see that happening, so made it into a pint. bit of a headache, but probably because i didnt sleep that much last night. feeling peckish...

good luck doz

im so jealous! well done :)

why havnt they removed the polyp?

hiya blood in stools. first up, your right to get it checked out, however, its highly unlikley to be anything serious. iv had problems with bleeding, sometimes occasionally, sometimes regulalry, ranging from a few spots of bright red blood to what appears to be GALLONS of bright/dark blood...

http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/98287-day-1-me.html here it is

hiya bella sounds good to me. theres a thread close by called "day 1.. (something)" check it out as theres mention of starting up a team, and we're allt eh same weight roughly. all the best. thanks eveyrone for the kind words. feeling better already and tyring to think positive bb

can i join too? im a very similar starting weight to you folks, and i start tomorrow. could do with the moral support and comparisons on how things are going. bb x

well, i picked up my first set of packs today, and i cried as soon as i got home. i think part of it was releif that finally im taking control, but also a great realisation of just how much food has run my life over the years. the counselor seemed really nice. didnt spend much time with her...

ok, i hold my hands up... im a closet case too. i should be starting this monday, and iv already thought of excuses to tell people at work as to why im not eating solid foods. "luckily" i have problems with IBS etc, so i can blame it for a while on that. iv had to tell my boyfriend. i live...

bump :)

ok, so iv been shopping around, and iv been comparing LL to the CD and im trying to get an idea of what the average weight loss in 12 weeks is. LL claim 3 stone in 13 weeks, and lots of followers on the minimins forum claim similar stories. iv been having a gander on the CD forum, and stories...

thanks very much jo. did you have to pay an introduction fee? it sounds like a lot, but your right, i spend lots of food and alcahol anyway. plus the counselling, i think its fair

hi there, iv been giving joining ll some serious consideration, and have just contacted my local counselor. iv tried previous diets, my most recent being slimming world. but iv come to realise that iv got a bit of a problem mentally with food, and i need some counselling also. but iv been...

thats more like it. thanks for the help

actually im 5'5 lol it says only put numbers in so i just left out the ' and put 55. have i done this wrong? also, i never set my goal BMI. its done it automatically

mine has calculated my bmi totoally wrong. it should only be something like 31

ok, so baked bean lasagne. real easy... *cook off an onion *add a tine of chopped tomatos and a tin of baked beans and heat *layer the mixture with lasagne sheets into a baking dish, leaving the bean mixture on top *place 6 laughing cow light triangles ontop (these go all gooey and nice!) *place...

baked bean lasagne! first time iv cooked it so looking forward to it
