My period pain was so bad last week I went to the doctors and was referred for an ultrasound on Sunday. I was called in to get the results today and have a cyst in each ovary which I've been told I'll have to have surgery on - do you think that this may have been worsened by the CD and the...

I know what you mean - I get that but not really fishy, just a funny taste. Having read the ingredients I have decided it's the soya oil....I'll suffer a rank taste in my mouth to be thin mind!

I've just had my week 8 weigh in...I've found it difficult this week and stuck to it but put a pound on!!!!! I am trying to think about the bigger picture and I've made the decision to go back to sole source rather than ss+. Onwards and upwards.........the sun will be shining in 4 weeks time...

Had never heard about Feverfew - maybe I'll give it a try in time for next month

I've been laid up in bed with the most debilitating migraine I have ever, ever had for the last two days. Could the diet be the trigger? It's my week 5 but I also have my period and wonder if it could be a combination of hormones and blood sugar. Any advice gratefully received. Still got a...

My brain does this. My brain tried to convince me tonight on the way home from my cdc that it would be sensible to get a small chicken shish and salad from the kebab shop as it's so cold and that my body was probably 'holding on' to weight as I haven't been eating. Naughty brain. I just remind...

I'm having a bad day today. I got some clothes that haven't fitted me for a couple of years out to try on today and found that they do and now I feel a bit weird. I don't feel thin enough to get into them and I'm almost regretting the fact that i'll have to ebay them! It's made me wonder if...

I drink loads - probably 4-5 litres a day but then again, when I'm eating food I drink 3-4 litres a day at least. I'm worried now that I might be drinking too much - do you think I should try to reduce it?

I agree whole heartedly with what Lily has to say above. Most people who are overweight have a damaged relationship with food. I use food to comfort me when I'm sad, distract myself when I'm stressed and also to punish myself when I'm down. I have realised these things over the 4 weeks in...

I use Benefibre - it's on special in Asda at the moment, 3 tubs for £10 (they last quite a while). You just stir a couple of teaspoons into a small glass of water.

I think that's where your gallbladder sits - I'm sure I read somewhere that your gallbladder has to work harder to process the fat you're burning. I get nagging stomach aches - a bit like period pain but in my stomach.....I'm sure it'll settle down in a week or two!

I had my first bar after my 3rd weigh in on Wednesday and was starving hungry on Thursday - I've decided not to have one again for a couple more weeks. I guess the only way to find out whether you are sensitive to it is to give it a whirl. The hunger passed but it was just a bit harder than...

A real inspiration and as you're the same height as me it's helped me visualise where I'll be in 15 weeks time - Thanks for sharing

I weigh half a stone more in the evening than in the morning - thankfully my goal is size based rather than weight based or I'd be in a right old pickle!!!

I use an exfoliating mitt every other day and apply a good moisturiser daily (as well as drinking lots of water!) I was told that it increases blood flow and helps you get rid of your toxins as well as keeping your skin in tip top condition.........also, it's nice to look after yourself - which...

I did it!!! 1 stone done and dusted.....woo hoo!!!

I've got to wait until Thursday too to see how I've done........I'll need to lose 6lbs to get to the stone mark

I agree so strongly. Food is just food and I think lots of us have forgotten that along the way. These bodies we've given ourselves can be changed all we need is a change in attitude - like they say if you do the same thing you get the same result. A change is all it will take.....well a...

I've been exactly the same - I think the freezing coldness is just your body getting used to it. Did you do it in the winter last time? It may be that it's just more obvious now it's cold outside.

I have been looking online at all the shops that don't go over a size 14 - I've not been a size 14 for 12 years! I have already picked out dream dresses from Whistles, All Saints and Kew....now all I need to do is start saving up for them!!! Great tip to reward yourself on every stone loss...

Thanks for posting this - it gives me hope that it'll all be worth it

Have you tried the Tetra packs? They're wonderful - I save the sachets for home and have the tetras for work and when I'm out and about

I bought some on Amazon although I've not had a positive reading yet 8 days and 8lbs in!!!

I've had a lot of time to think over the last week (now I don't spend every waking second thinking about food or cooking or eating) and the penny has finally dropped. Only I can do this just as essentially only I can sabotage this. I don't want to feel bad about myself anymore and only I can...

Thanks Snowy - it's nice to know that I'm noI'm sure the excitement will happen once I get a few weeks out of the way and adjust.

Congratulations - you did really well. I stuck to it like glue and only managed 8lbs so you have had a wonderful result. I've tried to calculate how many weeks I need to do SS for at 4lbs a week - that way if I have any good weeks it'll be a bonus. If it all goes to plan I should be at target...

what an inspiration

I allowed myself a dash of cream in my Starbucks this morning as a post weigh in treat.........if it keeps me going until next week it'll be worth the extra calories!!!

Really teary and hormonal today but I'm sure it'll pass. This time next week I'll be fine I'm sure. Thanks for the messages

I'm on day 7.....toughest day yet. I've been hungry in my head all day - I know that sounds strange but I'm not physically hungry just sort of mourning for food. Can't wait to get to bed so today will be over!!!

That's incredible.......keep it up!!!

This diet will work for you - they recommend that you follow a low carb diet when you have PCOS as our bodies can't process sugars. When I did Slimming World and stuck to the rules I put on weight and my doctor told me it was because of the sugar in fruit and starches. I've just started and...

I've just had my 1st weigh in and lost 8lbs. I should be ecstatic but I just feel rubbish. I'm not excited at all - just feel nothingy. I've had a really tough day today, not been physically hungry but mentally hungry - smelling imaginary food all day. I'm just thankful that it coincided...

I know it sounds awful but I am so glad that other people from last year are on here too - i feel much less lonely and less of a failure! I am sure that we can do this. I regret taking my eye off of the ball but am glad that I have taken the bull by the horns and started again. I lost 3.5...

Hi, I've been on CD for a couple of weeks now and am feeling normal at last!!! Would it be ok to start going to the gym now or should I wait a week or two?

I am so hungry it's unbelievable. Started on 2nd March and did SS for first week. My CDC told me to go onto SS+ and I'm still hungry. My mouth tastes like hairspray so I think I'm in ketosis. Would I be better not eating the green and white meal and just having an extra shake for a couple...

You'll be fine - go get 'em!

I want to have a good Glastonbury......always go but last time was so fat I was exhausted all the time and not in a good way!!! Two of my friends are getting married this year in July and September and I want to enjoy myself rather than spending the whole event hiding from the photographer

Hi - I've been the same this week on and off. I started on Monday and had to go to bed at ten past nine! I think it's just a bit of a shock to your system........I've been viewing the tiredness as a bonus - if i'm asleep I can't be hungry or torture myself with thinking about food!!! A...

I bit at work today - a woman in my office who is forever talking down to me did it today and it ended with me in a meeting room with my supervisor making a complaint............. Dreading tomorrow at work but quite glad it's all out i the open at last. I just had my weigh in and have lost...

Wow 3.7 litres........I was worried I was drinking too much - no wonder I'm so thirsty!!! Thanks - great post

How are you feeling today? My headache is a lot better and I'm not feeling nearly as hungry or shakey.....I'm hoping that the worst is now over

I'm on day 3 too. Didn't sleep last night and have a terrible headache. Am going to view it as the worst I will feel for a long time and remember how bad I've felt all those times because of being overweight. Reading the forums can help us overcome the bad bits because so many other people...

I'm doing ok with the water........losing count! Think I've had 2¼ litres so far. Am holding out on the shake for as long as poss as I need all my strength to get through the evenings!!!

I'm on day 3 - last night my boyfriend who weighs 10 stones ate his dinner then made himself 4 slices of toast with butter and marmite and mmmmm'd all the way through them. It made me cry. I am so hungry because I'm waiting for ketosis to kick in it nearly broke me. I'm determined to...

Could I join you? I started yesterday so am hoping for 21lbs

I started yesterday as well....felt terrible last night and went to bed at ten past nine! Woke up this morning feeling fantastic. Got a bit of a headache now but I think that's got more to do with work than anything else. I am hoping that it'll be even easier when I wake up tomorrow...

I'm not sure how it all works but shall we try and get a glasto group together then? I can just see us now at the stone circle with our flavoured water lol

Hi I'm new to all of this - both the Cambridge Diet and Forum. I have been to see the CDC and will be starting on Monday 2nd March. I have 16 weeks until Glastonbury so thought it would be a good goal point. Do any other new starters want to join me?
