hi ladies just a quick hello from sunny Spain it is hot but having a great time relaxing missing you all mel

i hated my boobs although my OH loved them, i have gone from a 44f to a 38e i was so excited, i couldnt remember the last time i was below a 40, and it was great that at last I could buy some new sexy underwear

richman, i have just started working shift work and my cdc said that i could eat 2 bars if i felt i needed them, she also said that if i get extremly hungry eat some raw carrots or some chicken breast

Broxi its not that bad, most forces where stab vest, and yes I do love it, every day is different which is why I love it, and it is very exciting although there are times when you go to a job and you are speaking to people you know are just trying to pull your chain and you think why am i here...

I think you are right about rushing things like I said you have to remember you are consuming a lot less calories than you were previously, I have been doing this now for 10 weeks, last week i changed roles within my job, I work as a police officer and previously had been officer based but then...

Losing weight with cd has given me so much confidence.. to buy sexy underwear and be happy when my OH says he wants to rip it of me (maybe a little to much info hehe)

Hi there sometimes you can feel a little crap in the begining it is your body detoxing, I know they tell you to drink lots of water but may in the begining you should lower your water intake you are suppose to only drink 2/3lts a day and if you are drinking 5 then you could be flushing your...

Police officer for me, I love the job, wouldn't do anything else especially as I am an old student lerning new tricks which just goes to prove you are never to old to learn, I have 3 children the eldest one is disabled and therefore stayed at home for a lot of years, then decided 1 1/2 years ago...

my advise is drink plenty of water, be ready for the headaches about day 2/3 just take painkillers and have an early night and you will be great after that, I have lost 2 1/2 stone in 8 weeks, and come on here alot, I love this diet

Drink loads of water I know that helps me when I am struggling, I dont know about not "TRUMPING" i am trumping for England, I have been lead to believe it is because i have the cranberry bars. hehe

Broxi, I am 9 weeks in having up and down days but have extreme stress in my life at the mo so my CD says this is normal, however I was having a bit of a down day to day so OH took me for some retail therapy in evans, I had to keep saying to him havent they got that in a 18 this one is to big...

Al1 I know what you mean I am in week 9 and this week I only lost 2lb, ok ok ok I can hear everyone shouting at me, but I want more. in those 9 weeks I have lost nearly 2 1/2stone and today when I was ready to give in and eat, my OH said dont give up you have never done a diet like this where...

way to go girlie, I know how you feel i got into some 16 jeans the other day, I cant remember the last time i got into a pair of 16, i came out of the shop and text everyone i knew, it is a fantastic feeling you enjoy it girl you deserve it.

I am an absolute lover of mousses as suzie will confirm, I have found the perfect way to make them, 150ml of water no more than that ice cubes 3 at the most, whizz water and ice cubes until smooth then add a good scoop of mousse mixture and whizz then add the shake and whizz for a good 2...

who said anything about have to be doing CD or have that much to loose anyone comes on to chat, it doesnt matter how much you have to loose

careful counter i work for the police force, hence the fitness test, and running i hate it, i am doing cambridge diet and so far have lost 2 and a bit stone in 7 weeks, if you look on the links you will find me on the "6 stone or more to loose" we are all mad there come and join us.

hey i think Icemoose has the right idea, i to have spent most of my life being big, I currently am doing this diet with my mum having terminal cancer and have had times when things have been so bad, i could have ate the fridge and not just the contents in it, but through this diet i have...

I have lived in corby all my life and must admit I find the Kettering people very strange, you really have not met the best of corby people ie ME, no i have not gone to the intro to running although I do work with people who attend it and have raved about it. I want to start running as I need...

welcome aboard, where abouts in Northamptonshire do you come from I am in Corby

ladies just wanted to let you know I have a bar every day and 2 mousse and I am still losing on average 3lb per week, I found the shakes boring so my CDC said I could have it as mousses if i wanted to, she also said I could have an extra bar if i got my sweet craving the only thing she warned me...

This is my daughters favourite song, she did a power point presentation, of all the grandchildren to my mum who has terminal cancer and used this song as the background music,

the job of my dreams which needs me to be fit no more joint pain being able to sit in the doctors and not discuss with him who is putting on the most weight me or him (i love him for that) being able to buy nice sexy underwear without paying a fortune and it looking like scaffolding

i was just about to add all the nice sexy underwear that we can now get into, and the hotels that we have to book for the dirty weekends away to show of the sexy underwear, the babysitter for the weekend so we can go away, and the spending money we need whilst we are away for the weekend

what a brilliant idea i love it, it is so true you think that little thing wont hurt to much, and before you know it it is to late

martyn there are loads of posts that you can join in with, I am currently in one which is on the cambridge diet called "6 stone or more to lose" have a look at it this has been a god send for me as there is lots of support and they have a scream as well.

lisa if you are speaking to your cdc tonight check this out, my cdc said i can have 2/3 bars a day if i wanted, the only thing is they can caused contispation so you have to drink the extra water, I also make toffee and walnut shakes up into mousses using the mix a mousse, i put cinamon in them...

Tinkerbella this is a great diet, I have lost nearly 2st in 7/8 weeks, I buy my stuff weekly, as like curlywurly i liked to get weighed weekly it keeps me on track but i live quite local to my cdc so find that just as easy, like previously stated start drinking the water now, cut down on the...

I found at about week 3 i wanted to rebel and eat, i to found the same thing repetative but i have added mix a mousse and cant wait for the next one, I have the toffee and walnut and put cinamin in it, i used to only put them in the fridge but someone told me to put them in the freezer instead...

As above i used to go regular as clock work coffee in the morning then of to the loo, now i only go about 1 a week, you will know when you need to go, as previously said as long as you dont have belly ache, as for the senokot watch them, i did a similar thing early on in the diet and then spent...

suzie you really do seem to have a problem with your mousses, I find as stated above use 150ml if cold water i even put some ice into it but not to much, and I use a blender and give it a really good whizz before putting it into the fridge

i have found that the colder the water you seem to get less lumps dont know if this is coincidence i put a couple of ice cubes in mine and blitz it in the blender then i put mix a mousse in then shake on top and blitz again, I had the toffee and walnut one the other day and sprinkled it with...

Pardon me for having an opinion and only stating what i was told by a CDC I will keep my mouth shut from now on

i asked my cdc about this she said the more i drink the more i shrink, as for the coffee i am allowed ss milk which i find helps

just a quick note about how many you can have, my cd said i can it with every shake if i want

cooky i am part of a team called 6 stone or more to lose, you dont have to have that much to join us come and have a look you will be more than welcome to join us

claire i also suffer from mirgranes and my sister used to work for a company that offers advice for migrane suffers, dont know if you are arware when you take your pain killers take them with a cup of coffee this helps them get into the system quicker, i always thought coffee was a no no for...

I did a similar thing the other week, my OH booked for us to go away for the weekend before i started CD as mum is terminally ill and said i needed to get away, had full intentions of being good and before you knew it i had put 4lb on, i discovered that at the end of week one going into week 2...

Just start this week as a new week, stick to it one hundred percent, drink plenty of water this helps and you will see the results

aiminghigh, I was discussing this with another friend on the this site the other day, and we both came to the same conclusion, the way we beat ourselves up about having a blip is only going to lead to a bad relationship with food when we do start eating again, try to look at this as an eye...

well done to you, cant wait till i am doing that, ladies also thanks for all your support with my mum it means alot

penny if you took laxatives you might find that is what is causing the tummy aches, i had the same problem a few weeks ago felt like crap, had a sore stomach had not gone for over a week so took so laxatives and OMG the next day could not leave the house lol

next thursday, not hoping for good thing this week, but not that worried, my mum has terminal cancer and i had the whole family for dinner today so i just wanted to have a good time, will be back 100% tommorrow

moggy, i find the tetras a bit sickly so my cdc told me to put loads of ice in them and then they are not so bad, also i thought i was hungry as my tummy was rumbling terrible, she told me it was because i was drinking my water to cold, try this it might help, keep with it though

well done you, i am so proud of you

dreamer, i know it is hard, when you have a good week you want another good week, but any loss is a loss, it is difficult when you are reading this site and you hear of people loosing 6/7lb a week when you are only loosing 2 but if you look hard enough there are also others that only loose 2lb a...

well done girlie, you keep it up it is true the colours do become brighter the more weight you loose. i am on week 7 and have lost 1st 4lb it is not coming of fast enough for me but i have to learn to be patient

well done you, it is difficult to take compliments i am the same, but i have also learnt that you have to learn to take them and that it is not a bad thing.

penny jane, you will find it good to come on here and talk, the other day i was having a really stressful day, i came on line and although i did not feel wonderful when i left it, it had stopped me eating the fridge, when i spoke to my CDC the following day she said it was my bad habbits...

oshia I was like you and found that going onto the chocolate bars was a god send, like you i can be great all day and then the evenings i struggle, so i started having my bars at tea time and this helped, also this is when i find boredom sets in, also i have discovered mix a mousse from my CDC...

jessica, I have a daughter who is 12 and have real concerns for her weight as she has ceoliac (wheat intolerance) and is very restricted to what she can eat anyway, whilst at the dietians for her the other day i was told that she was on the lower end of the underweight bracket for her height and...

you are not suppose to chew any type of gum, although i do but only for about a minute, did he complain about your breath not long after having a shake, i find that i have got to drink at least a pint of water after or else my breath stinks unfortunatley it is a side effect of the diet usually...

welcome aboard, my advice to you is just drink plenty of water you will experience head aches and might even be tierd but just remember it is your body gettering rid of the crap, I find coming on here is extremely helpful

kirsty i know it is hard, i am about the same in weeks as you and today i want to eat everything and every advert on tv is about food, and am really struggling, I sometimes feel that when everyone is saying stick to it it will be worth it i feel like saying "like you know" cause thats normally...

please tell more i am intridge? what is this and how do you make it

just a thought are you drinking iced water from the fridge i experienced this last week and am week 5, when i mentioned it to CDC she said it was because i was drinking my water ice cold

anna welcome on board, the first week is hard i am not going to lie, are you only allowed 3 shakes i am allowed 4 if you need another one have it or else you will give up, my cdc has always said that to me. As for the rumble in the tummy are you drinking cold water from the fridge, I am in week...

hannah, you have come so far, why will you CDC not let you go onto food until you reach 14.5stone i started at 17stone 4 and my cdc sugessted that i start on 3 shakes and one meal a day and it has been my choice to go onto ss as i wanted to lose weight quicker than i was, you know in your heart...

Well done girl, as previously stated a 16 is a 16, i am a bit like that when i am giving my self targets i started at 17st 4lb my first target was to be 16st something just so i could say 16 stone something, next target is 15st something and so on. Well done again

hi there i was told by my counsellor that i should not go past the 2nd going into the 3rd band anything more than this means you are dehydrated, you will know when you are in ketosis when you start to get the smelly breath

I am the same as you initially stated, I have my 3rd weigh in tomorrow and feeling a little down even though i think i might have hit the first stone off, but like you cant see the difference and feel that i should, even my trousers dont feel loose i always believed that each stone you lose you...

welcome to CD hollie, i will not kid you first week is hard, by day three you will probably have headaches and feel like a bag of s**t, but drink plenty take tablets if you need them and if you are really struggling get yourself onto the forum we will keep you going, and dont worry about asking...

it is down to taste i have tried the caramel ones and the chocolate orange and even though i like them both the chocolate orange ones are best i feel more full up after them (silly in my head i know)

I have got to say, i absolutly love it, but i have a very sweet tooth i dont know if it is in my mind but i like it at lunchtime think its is because that is when the sugar craves kick in and it is sweet

lasthope firstly i think you should change your title it is negative, dont beat yourself up we all have blips yours was just a little bigger than most but that was in the past and we are looking to the future, a new day and a new start, forget about what has gone on before and think about what...

Sorry to hear about your experience, my cd counsellor is great I had some porridge the other week which was disgusting i only ate 1 even though i had bought 7, the following week she asked how i had got on and i told her that i was not impressed and she asked why i had not taken them back and...

dont be so hard on yourself at least you have the courage to admit your mistakes and start again, am not going to slap your wrist i am going to pat you on the back and say well done for realising your mistake and having the courage to start again

kIRST dont beat yourself up, like others have said you made a mistake put it behind you and move on, I made mistake today my children bought me a box of roses chocolates, they have been in my fridge all week without being touch, today i had one, but only one so all though i slipped i didnt...

stay with it ladies, I know what it is like waiting for your other half my other half is also a police officer I also do shifts mostly opposite to him and we have children as well, and all you want to do is spend 10 mins with each other and he rings to say he will be late and you are doing your...

evening ladies what a site, I love to see how different peoples weight comes off, i got very disheartened in the first week when i only lost 6.5lb and then 4 the next i think i was being to hard on myself, i just felt as though i was really depriving myself, but i am lucky that my sister in law...

nessy sorry to hear that you are having a rough time, like you i am on week 3 and finding it hard, I have lost nearly a stone and nobody has noticed yet and i am gutted, I have been off work for nearly 3 weeks and I am hoping that maybe someone will notice when i go back, I have found that the...

I to love the bars, i find them so filling and have mine at lunch time, I hope this does not make a difference in my weight only started them this week and not getting weighed for 2 weeks, also can any one explain how to set the goals that are on your post, i set up a ticker chart but cant even...

bingbong am on the 3 shakes a day and a small meal, not sure if this makes a difference have started back at the gym tonight as well.

Please, please, please can someone explain this process to me, i have bought the ketosticks but never seem to come out of the buff colour, which i believe is not brilliant, i have once gone to a deep pink to purple colour which i was told of for as it said i was dehydrated. I do get the yucky...

evening ladies i have decided not to look at the overall picture for my ideal weight as i have 6 stone to go and that seems a long way of, so i have decided that i will celebrate going from 17 stones something to 16 stone something then 15 stone something ect

this is fantastic news, i started with the bars this week and had the chocolate orange one and loved it, i have found also that if you only eat half and drink a load of water with it you can have the other half later in the day and it helps spread it out

ladies have been reading your thread and wondered if i can join, or are you limited to 6, "i wanna be in your gang" dont know the ages of everyone so this song might go over everyones head, (if so Gary gliter). I started CD 2 weeks ago but went away for the weekend for a desperatly needed break...

Stacey thanks for your comments, had a really rough day yesterday, the night before we were told mum could go into respite, she was so excited only to be told half an hour later to be told it was not going to happen, My sister ran me yesterday morning in hysteria she had lost the plot and was on...
