Have you tried adding frozen fruit to your shakes and putting in the blender? Great way to supplement, and they are great! Texasmorning

Just wanted to update my weight tracker. slow but steady now that I can't do SS on CD. texasmorning

Thank you, Mini. He certainly is! What a star. Texasmorning

Hello, John. I have missed your quick wit on these boards...are you still out there? How are you doing? Are you doing stand-up somewhere? Hope all is well. give us an update, please! Regards, Texasmorning

I like the Lower Salt one by Marigold. I bought both, and the original is too salty. Although, if I am in a savoury-madness, I mix the two. Vegetable based, and very tasty. texasmorning

I had a favourite song years ago (in the 70's!) by Buckwheat Stevenson. The lyrics were: 5 o'clock Texas Morning. I used to drive to Dallas early Monday mornings at 5:00 to be at work for 6:45. Because I had an old banger of a car, I also had a CB radio. (looks like we got us...

I, too, have just stumbled onto this thread. If you don't mind me putting in my two scents (i.e. aromatherapy)... The sole sourcing is a wonderful way to do just as you have pointed out. Not having food at all puts into great relief (----^^---^^^---^----) the issues where, in the past, you...

great strategy to put washing up liquid on it before throwing it into the bin!! Nice one. Will use that myself...not that I have anything to throw away just now. texasmorning

Well done, Chunky, Looks like we are going to have to change your name SOON! texasmorning

Thank you all. Even though I was shocked by his response, I am quite happy to continue with the 1000-1200 plan just now. I've carried this weight for 40 years, maybe the slower approach will help to prevent the 'slag heap' effect. If my loss slows to a crawl, I will seek out another GP...

Hi, Cerulean, (great colour BTW) When I did it, they had a financial package that gave interest free credit. I can't remember the cost, however. It seemed like a lot before I started the course, but after the first weekend, I got more than I paid in results. texasmorning

Well done...you are truly on your way! texasmorning

Hey, ya'll, I have been having great success (31 pounds so far). However,the day I started with CD, I handed my forms in to the GP with a letter, saying that I would prefer to try Cambridge first, and not see the surgeon regarding gastric bypass surgery (for which I had been referred). I felt...

Hi, Kathy, :fyi: Certainly, you may PM me. My home email is: [email protected] texasmorning

I've lost another 10 pounds this week!! My rings are getting loose and my trousers are getting longer!! Whoopee!!!! texasmorning :bliss:

Hi, Kathy, I am a Life Coach and NLP Practitioner. I completed my Life Coach training a couple of years ago through The Coaching Academy. It is tremendous! and Life Changing! There is a free introductory course with Newcastle but my colleagues have said that there is no comparison between the...

Hello, Minime, I bought a Bullet! They are great for making fantastic shakes and mousses, etc. And it looks cool in the kitchen! I got mine off eBAY for about £20 plus p&p. There are many sites that sell them around £50, so do some hunting before you buy. The only disaster so far was...

I now have a signature and a hopeful 'after' picture! Yee haw! tm

Wow. What an amazing result for you. Great going. You have really spurred me on. I am going to drink 6 litres a day as well. I just hope we don't get a hosepipe ban. texasmorning

Dearest Mags, I am so sorry to read of your tragic news...I cannot begin to understand what you are experiencing. I don't know you, but I pray that the love of family and friends help to comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead. There is a huge canopy of love and concern for you here, when...

I meant to say that the end of the day really does me in....sorry. tm

Hello Cambridge Buddies, I would like to join too. I just finished my second week...one stone lost in total. I'm very pleased, but I have to admit that I am not SSing. I have been sort-of AAMing. The end of the day really goes me in. Right now, I am home with a throat bug and feel pretty...

Dear Shaza, Well done. Truly amazing. Keep up the good work. I shall be right behind you, as well. texasmorning

Dear Stacey, Come on, let's go! Two weeks from now, another 14 days will have passed. If you haven't started Cambridge, then your weight will probably be the same. However, you could be many pounds lighter and it will still be two weeks later. Join us for the next two weeks!! If you...

Amazing, isn't it? I lost another 5 pounds this week...that makes a stone in 2 weeks. I am chuffed. And pleased, and amazed, and stunned, and proud, and, and, feeling great!!! :D I've learned a lot during these two weeks, as well. It's so easy to identify the triggers to emotional eating while...

Hey, there, Frumpster, I think you are doing great. You are deciding what is best for YOU. This is all about you and your resolve to improve your health, etc. Only you can determine which plan suits you the best. Also your decision to allow yourself your own time to get to goal is a very...

Wow! Thank you all for that marvelous vote of confidence. :wow: We are planning our 25th wedding anniversary this summer. going on an Alaskan cruise...I want to be able to prance and dance my way through all those glaciers! ;) And it would be great to be under 250 pounds so that I don't...

Hello to all the great losers out there! I weighed in on Thursday, after my first week on CD. Down 9 and 3/4 pounds! I am also now out of the 300 lb club! I started losing slowly before I started CD. However, this is the way for me...I love it. And I am in the process of re-inventing...

Dear Frumpster, Today is Easter Sunday. This is how God told us: "Because you are worth it!" Relax and remember that. He is not wrong. texasmorning ps you are going to have to change your name (Frumpster) soon, because it doesn't suit you. How about "Gorgeous"?! And wear it with pride! :)

Fantabulous! And snap...I lost 9 and 3/4 pounds at my first weigh in. Let's keep up the good work. texasmorning

Some more reasons: To be able to cross my legs. To be able to wear knee-high boots. (to want to wear them, too!) Every room in our house will seem so much bigger. Especially the corridor. My naturally fine hair will look like more on a smaller person. To be able to use the toilets on a...

I am off to find that thread about all the good reasons! texasmorning

Thank you all for your help and advice. What a bolt of energy you guys send. I am now confident with the program. And, I lost 9 and 3/4 pounds!!! :D result!!:D An interesting tidbit: My son, Chris, is on CD as well. (He has always been an major overeater). I asked him how he was dealing with...

A few days ago, I went out and bought a tape measure at a sewing shop, so that I could take accurate measurements, etc. For some reason, I still hadn't used it (avoidance). When I opened it today, I fell about laughing...it was only 25 inches long!!! Howz that for making one feel...

Thank you, both. Today is another day, and I am feeling better. I am SSing on CD. now day 5. I am in ketosis and feeling no pain. I like the shakes, etc. and am not even hungry. The support is superb here. Although I think my thread went into the success stories by mistake. (I was...

I'm not suffering at all, but for some reason, I just don't want to wait that long before I ever eat again. I am very distracted by the thought of foods. Not around any, and there is none at home, when I get there. But for some crazy reason, it's haunting me. I've been on the B&A photo...

Dear Princess, Remember the Nike advert? (JUST DO IT!!) I keep saying this to myself because the first step is the hardest...however, if we can look back after a great weight loss, we can see just how trivial it actually was to start. All you have to do is start...Get going girl! Also ...

Hello, Ruth. I started on Thursday as well. I am 5'5'' and weighed 21 st. 11 (306 lb) a few weeks back. I was already down to 21st 4 before I started. I feel really good on the program. But, like you, find that my mouth gets lonely. Also, smells of great food make me have to close my...

Yup, it's a vibration plate. Be careful not to break your teeth. (not really) but sometimes my glasses start to fall off. I don't know if it will make a difference, but the concept sounds good to me. tm

Dear Wannabslim, Thanks for that. And well done for getting back on the wagon! I think that the fear of having to start again is one of the best deterrents to giving in. I am going to pat myself on the back...I have been to the gym today!! :superwoman: They have this new thing called the Power...

Hello, Sarah, I have just looked at your piccies. It was like watching some grow young, tall and slim! And the confidence in the later pictures is soooo telling. What a difference. Well done, lady! I lived in Edinburgh for 16 years. Miss it often. However, my daughter is studying in...

Hello, I started on Thursday evening, so this is day 3 for me. It's been smooth sailing and surprisingly easy for me. I like the shakes, etc. and seem to be able to keep flooding the water down. I sincerely am thinking of buying stock in Andrex though!;) Last night, I got home from work about...

Tremendous, Tommee. Or should I say "Tom Terrific"? (he was a fav cartoon on the telly in texas...a long time ago.) Great inspiration to see those a few months ahead of me. Do you do SS? Well done. texasmorning

Hey, I just noticed that you are in Hampshire too. Where? I am in Fareham. Work in Hedge End. texasmorning

Welcome, Mistymoomoo, I am a newby too. Just started on Thursday evening. Will watch for your posts. I am drinking the water and buying the Andrex! Let's get going!!! texasmorning

Lovelyjoolz, I am new to this too. I started at 306 (lost down to 299 before starting CD). So, not that far behind you...your success has me thrilled. Well done! I will watch your posts for sure. texasmorning

I am so impressed...and encouraged! You have made my day... My hubby is away for 4 weeks. I started CD on Thursday evening (tea time) and I plan that, by April 29th, he will be stunned at the difference in his ladywife. ;o} Keep up the good work. Remember the advert: You are worth it...
