Hello everyone, Sorry I've been away for the past week, had a lot going on! A bit like Sonya, my diet's been bad but my love life has been fab!!! Anyway, I made a conscious decision to abandon my diet last week so for 7 days I have indulged in lots of food & drink!! Don't be jealous as I now...

Twingo don't beat yourself up about it - you're going on holiday so enjoy it! If that means eating then so be it. Just promise us all you'll log back on here when you get home and you can start afresh :) You can do this so don't worry. You've done so well up to now, enjoy your break but then...

Hey everyone, I've been for my (early) wi and lost 1 lb. I'm pleased enough with that as long as I've not put on but am ready to go tomorrow, 8 days solid - no slip ups!!!

Thanks Muffin & Debs, I appreciate your support :)

I'm in - succumbed to a box of Milk tray last night (bought in for my friends birthday at the weekend) and feeling rather disgraced with myself today, although I didn't eat the full tray so at least that's something!! I was doing so well though, even went to a kids party last night and avoided...

I have looked online at boots & Lloyds & cannot find the ketostix ay either of the stores - where have you purchased yours from?

I'm so glad to read this affects other peolpe on this diet too (not glad that you're all cold though!) I used to be a really hot person in general but since starting CD have got a heater on permanently in my office & need the heating on at home as well as fluffy socks & dressing gown. Are...

Morning Marchies It has taken me ages to catch up on all your posts over the weekend but am glad that everyone is doing reasonably well! I'm so proud of myself I managed to go out both Friday & Saturday night without drinking!!! I also spent yesterday afternoon in the pub and stayed alcohol...

Thanks guys :) I'll be seeing him again next week, not set a date yet though as he has 2 kids so it will be whenever he doesn't have them. I'm on a natural high today so hopefully that will keep me going so I avoid food!! Well done Gem you're over half way there, keep going :) Everyone is...

Hey everyone, well done on your losses and good luck for those who have their WI's coming up! Well my date went really well :) we went to an italian restaurant so I ordered chicken with veg and didn't eat any of the garlic bread!!! I did have 2 glasses of wine though but what the hell! I'll...

That's a good idea Sonya - about taking pics. They will motivate you to keep going!! Glad you're starting to see the effects now :)

How much water do you drink each day? Try increasing that too!

Morning Marchies - & Welcome to Stacey & Onamission :gen126: Had my second WI last night and lost another 3lbs which is 10lbs in 2 weeks. I'm pleased with the result considering it's my TOTM and my CDC said I will be retaining water. I'm aiming for 4lbs next week so I will have lost a stone...

Tall, dark and handsome would sum him up perfectly :) I've had my eye on him for a while and it looks lik waiting for him to make a move has paid off!! He's quite abit older than me but I prefer older men if I'm honest!! This is my first proper date since splitting with my ex (not including...

Morning team! Well my meal went ok last night, I stuck to chicken and salad although I did have coleslaw so not sure if that will have messed me up. Oh well I'll find out tonight at my WI... 2nd one for me but I don't really feel as though I've lost much this week due it being nearly TOTM so...

Gem I agree with you definitely - there's no need to put our social lives on hold until we lose weight. This is all about us adapting our way of life so that weight loss becomes part of us & it'll be much easier when we come off the diet as we'll know what treats we can have and what we need to...

Thanks for the sweetcorn advice Sonya, I would've ended up devouring the whole thing without knowing - I love them!! Anyway I've decided to have Gammon & Eggs instead, it's higher in calories but no carbs so I should be fine... oh I'm not sure what the better option is now!! Which affects your...

The mix-a-mousse is delicious!!! So far I've tried: chocolate: nice but a little sickly towards the end chocolate mint: favourite :) toffee & walnut: nice strawberry: refreshing change Hope you enjoy them, I think it just adds a bit of variety and also feels like you're having a treat!!

Thank You! :)

How do you 'check' if you're still in ketosis?

Hello Marchies, sorry I've not logged on over the weekend been mad busy! I've embarked on a few DIY projects to distract my mind from food - so far so good :) Happy to say I only had 1 slip over the weekend which I'd planned for anyway so I don't feel too bad about that. I have been really...

Thanks Vix - I'm very pleased with it, just need to get back on track now and keep focused!! Will take a leaf out of your book - you should be really proud of yourself after last night's outing - good luck for tonight too :) I'm going to upload a profile pic this weekend, it is nice to put a...

Morning everyone, Glad to see everyone is in a positive mood this morning. I have woken up feeling energised after eating a sandwich yesterday - again!!! I've come into work prepared with a variety of shakes to make & have been repeating my saying in my head... "food is evil, do not let it...

Not that I would ever attempt eating anything as disgusting as that anyway!!!

That really does make you feel sick!!! I just imagine that it's making your insides look like that - or something very similar :( disgusting!! I want to be thin!!! No more eating crap like that :)

Morning all, I had my first WI last night and I've lost 7lbs which I'm really pleased with considering I did cheat!! I'm raring to go now with my 2nd week 100% I've already decided to drive to my friends house tomorrow to make sure I don't have a sneaky glass of wine while I'm there...

Morning all, I'm pleased to say after yesterday's little hiccup I went on a 2 hour walk last night and am back in the spirit of things ready for my first WI tonight :) Thinklite, instead of thinking numbers all the time about your weight, try looking at clothes you'll be able to wear when you...

My name is Kirstie btw - thought I'd best tell you all rather than keep being called skinny!!! Not yet anyway :)

Hi Lesley, Welcome to the team :) I hope I do as well as you in my first week - got my WI tomorrow! That's a great loss so well done :D I've been on WW before and I was up and down on it, this I'm noticing results already after not even a week, my clothes aren't as tight and I'm definitely...

Hi Stacey, I was warned we may get bad breath from the diet, keep drinking lots of water as it's meant to help ease that. Also, I've heard people on here recommend those mint breath freshener sprays which are supposed to be effective, I've not tried any myself yet but worth a go I'd say - beats...

Welcome to the thread muffin :) I gatecrashed a few days ago and have been made to feel really welcome - it's amazing how reading everyone's posts can be motivation for you to carry on. I have to admit I've not had a good day today though... had a team meeting in head office and my boss decided...

Stacey, I started the diet the same day as you so can appreciate how you're feeling. I'm lucky that I like most of the flavours I've tried so far. Strawberry/Banana shakes are ok I have them for my first meal of the day. I have tried chicken & mushroom; brocolli & cheese; leek & potato soups...

Twingo - you're very brave to get back with your partner after his infidelity, I'm not sure I could regain that trust if someone ever hurt me like that. We all seem to have a lot in common anyway - I too have recently split with my partner of 5 years!! :confused: We split amicably though and he...

I always try to make sure I eat at meal times and I sit at the table with my soup in a bowl which really helps me feel like I've had a proper meal. I have added black pepper to my soups when they've been bland - are we ok to do this? I wasn't too sure but it was either that or throw it down the...

Hi All, I'm new to CD - got my 1st WI on Weds evening. It's great to read all your posts and see how you all encourage and support one another. I've started the diet with my auntie so we're helping each other along and so far so good. I'm lucky to live alone so I've emptied my house of snacks...

This is a great thread - really inspirational reading all your posts. I can relate to most of them and it helps to know other people feel like this too.... and that we're all here to do the same thing. Thanks guys!

I have just started Cambridge diet last Thursday and although I still want food in my head, I must say I'm not as hungry as I thought I'd be and my desire for food is decreasing slowly. I didn't reduce my carbs or fat before I started, I enjoyed the foods I love as I know it would be the last...
