Hello - not really advice, just to say hello! I am re-starting today after falling pregnant with my son (and having to stop CD) - back to lose the baby weight! Good luck

I'm struggling... Can't have my phone on at work, so email buddies is best. I've lost two stone but want to lose another one before heading up the plans. Let me know if you want to make contact. Good luck!

Just wondering how people keep motivated? I find this diet really easy, but I also find it easy to cheat as the weight comes off so quick... If you see what I mean (it's like a ticket to cheat)... I have still lost two stone despite having a month off, holiday and illness but am back on it...

Thanks everyone; great to hear your stories and know I'm not alone.

Dear All Just wondering how your bodies are changing due to CD... I have lost 2 stone now, but still haven't gone down a dress size on my lower half. My weight is carried on my legs, bum and hips. I'm a size 12/14 top but 18 still on the bottoms. The 18's have to be held up with safety...

Phew... Thank you very much

Well done, you have been an inspiration to me....

Dear All I hope this post is allowed, last time I logged in things were a bit tense on here... I am sticking to CD 100% but am finding I am getting hungry and restless. Would I spoil myself if I had a little bit of an orange bar on top of my 3 soups? Not the whole thing but a 3rd or...

Try not to get down, couldn't have gained weight while following the plan. Is it really hot and sunny where you are? I'm sat in the office drinking tons of water and baking... When it's hot I bloat up and weigh heavier. Keep going ;)

Hi Everyone I've recently lost two stone on CD and since I got to this milestone I seem to have been wondering and can't stick to the plan. I have only put on two pound, but I haven't lost any in the last two weeks. On reading the other threads I know I have to stick to the plan to get...

I've just reached the two stone loss mark and it's only now people are beginning to notice. Family and friends are very different but work is another matter. One chap emailed me yesterday as he wanted to say how great I looked but without embarassing me. A lady in our office said yesterday...

Thanks Asa, I'll keep posting

I live in a village just outside Banbury. Happy to meet at M40 services or somewhere in town, depending on those based in Northamptonshire.

The M40 services is much better for me too :p

I'd be interested, I live on the Northamptonshire/Oxfordshire border too. How about meeting at Cherwell Vale Service Station on the M40 (J10, I think)? Or the one on the M1? Trying to think of somewhere in the middle and a neutral location although they are not the most sexy of places :p

Can you add me too please... Thanks

Dear All Celebrating tonight, I have now lost two stone!! Not sure of the number of weeks as I have STS once and took two weeks off, but hey, I am getting there. Keep going everyone ;)

Thanks Jess, hadn't thought of it that way. At least we're both doing fab ;) Best of luck with everything x

Well done you; that's fab! I'm still waiting for people to notice, apart from those who know I'm doing the diet. Two stone off so far and I'm about half way there. I take it as a compliment that no one has noticed, means they didn't notice/care about my weight in the first place. :p

Good luck with your weight loss everyone. My weight loss is variable, one week I lost 6lbs then nothing the next. I think the bars slow my weight loss down so I only have 2 per week, and these I 'graze' on when I'm hungry or feeling weak. Despite losing 22lbs I haven't gone down a dress...

Thanks everyone, no holding on to No 2's around here. In fact since starting CD it's been the opposite... Feel even happier today, as when I checked the scales this morning my weight had gone up but my percentage fat was down; so I'm putting this down to TOTM and water retention. Not...

Thank you very much - great words of wisdom. Think I was getting myself into a bit of state :)... Today is a much better day!

Help please... I had a cracking week last week and lost 6lbs, over the last four days the scales haven't moved. It's TOTM but that usually doesn't affect anything. Does anyone know why my weight hasn't moved when I've done nothing different. I had some chicken on Friday (like normal) but...

Sorry to hear you're feeling sick with the bars. I've only tried the chocolate one (yuk!) and the orange one. I have 2 orange bars a week and make them last for days (I have them on top of my 3 shakes/soups). I think after the soups they can be hard on your stomach (solid vitamin and...

Hi All I feel I need a hug from you guys today; I'm extremely tired and that's when I usually reach for the chocolate and my will power heads out the door... I had to take a two week break due to mega stress at work, but I've been back on the soups since Sunday and have losts the few pounds...

Something similar happened to me last week, I was spotted opening a Cambridge Diet soup by a colleague. She then felt the need to ask if I was dieting and how 'crazy' the diet seemed. As she knew nothing about the diet I gave her a quick lesson and she went away better educated if not...

Hi Everyone I wouldn't say CD is taking over my life but it's making me think SO hard about my eating habits; all for the better. I'm always going to concerts and on these nights I have had plain chicken and some green veg. I'm on 100% SS at all other times and it's working for me. Having...

Hi All Just wanted to share, I had my week five weigh in on Thursday and I'd lost another 6 lbs. Makes 17 lbs in five weeks! Just love this "diet". Have a fun weekend everyone.

Thank you for all your lovely replies. My boyfriend has been great with me on this diet, he even came to my first CDC meeting. This diet is so unsociable but he's been brill in helping where he can etc; I think our problems are more deep than CD. I think I am also changing as I lose the...

Hi Everyone I could do with some support today; I'm on week 5 and have lost 19lbs (very pleased!) but I slipped yesterday and had some chocolate. Been having huge rows with boyfriend and it maybe the end of the line for us and I'm struggling not to give in and reach for the comfort food...

Dear All Just had my week 3 weigh in; only lost 1 lb. I had a major social event last night and I did eat; but very minimal and stuck to the green & white rule. Got on the scales this morning and I was 2 lb heavier... My CDC thought it was due to water retention as I ate last night...

Thanks everyone, the support of this board is brill - much easier than trying to do it on my own :)

Made it easily through the film and the smell of the popcorn didn't put me off. Managed half of the CD bar but didn't want the rest. Yeah!! Second challenge sucessful...

Thank you everyone; have a nice day

Hi Everyone I'm off to the cinema tomorrow; it's been easy on CD so far (week one and 7lbs down) but I'm worried I'll be tempted by the smell of popcorn etc I have a CD bar to try and wondering if I ate some of this in the cinema I'll be okay? I'm on SS but I'm trying to avoid going off the...

Hi Everyone I'm on day 2 but am feeling really sick, I've managed the morning shake and lunch time soup but can't face the 3rd one. Is this normal? I've run to the bathroom a couple of times as the feeling is very intense. I'm not as hungry at all but have a massive headache too; but I'm...

Hello Everyone :p I'm new to this forum so thought I'd post a note to say hi! I'm looking to start the CD in 2 weeks when I get back from holiday. At the moment I'm cutting out carbs and trying to get off the diet coke (that's very hard!); plus drink more water. Quick question(s):- 1) Do...
