Hi all, I am looking for some advice if anyone had it, I have an iPhone app for pointing things called My score plus (a white cross on a blue background). I was pointing something yesterday and realised the measurements were in cups so this must be an American app - the American points used to...

I'm glad someone else posted this. I did sf last year and absolutely loved it, it is just so versatile. I am planning on having another baby so decided to go to SW and while it's very similar to sf it is way more restrictive. The bread thing I find difficult, also not having the option to point...

Hi all, Are quorn sausages free on SF? I bought some yesterday and they are calling me from the freezer! Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I am planning on making a pizza with a ww wrap as the base tonight, usually with a pizza I just slide it into the oven directly onto the rack but I would assume that would be a bit messy with this!! Do I put it onto a baking tray? Would it crisp up on a baking tray or be soggy? Any...

Hi Haley, I am also doing ss+! I am 5'8 and started at 15'5, first week Iost 6 and a half pounds and I was dighted with that as it was only 6 days since I weighed in. I am an amateur runner and am planning to start training for a (slow!) marathon in October so I am planning on running in the...

Hey there, I do ss+ and it is VERY tempting to add to the food list! The last time I did cd I was 100% SS for 13 weeks, couldn't even comprehend breaking it, this time even though ss+ fits into my life much better it is more difficult to stick to I think? Food is in your life which makes...

Hey there, Is there room on the team for me? I was a skinny beatch back in 2009 when I lost four stone for my wedding and it was great to have the support of all the girls, including debkat! I am back to lose the baby weight, three stone would be ideal, I doing ss+ this time and started this...

Icklerockchick, that founds exactly like the crumpets I am getting! Flat and pancake-y!

Aaahhh! Got it! Thanks nomes x

Hi all, I only realised you could switch between the two programmes, handy to do if you have a meal out or something. Here is my question though, how do you count your weeklies on sf, take away 7 per day? And could you use that 7 to add to your daily PP? Is that a stupid question?! Thanks AB

Ha! You see this is the problem, I don't think they really are crumpets as they don't need to be toasted! They are more pancake-y iykwim!

Yeah, maybe you are right. Maybe I can only get MONSTER crumpets in Ireland!

Hi Atomic, Thanks for that, I just checked mine... 188kcals and 75g! Maybe they are just big though? You are so right, they really help me avoid chocolate so that has to be good!

Hi there, I am one week into my sf diet, although with no counting points or stress you could hardly call it a diet! I am down 2 1/2 pounds so delighted with that and I am really enjoying eating well! I have a question though, I am in Ireland so crumpets would not be very popular, in fact I...

Brilliant, thanks very much girl! Sarah, that is a brilliant weight loss, well done!

Hi there, I have been struggling with a paleo diet with little success for a few weeks do when I read about SF I was delighted! I have a few questions though if anyone can help me - Cereals - bran flakes, yes? What about special k? Salmon - please tell me smoked salmon is allowed?! Losses -...

Thanks so much! It seems way more than is allowed on tony ferguson but less calories. Decisions decisions!

Hi all, I am a returner thinking of doing the 1000kcal plan, I started tiny ferguson on Tuesday but the products are awful! Could someone give me details of what you can have on the 1000 plan before I go back tail between my legs to my CDC! Thanks in advance!

Thanks girls, maybe I should have a look at 1000 kcals, I was chewing away like mad on the dry straw like bar this morning and all I could think of was an lovely orange chew bar!

Hi there, I have been on Cambridge twice successfully losing three stone each time. I think it's a great diet but at the moment it's just not for me, I have a toddler at home and I just am not in the right frame of mind to vlcd at the moment. So, I started Tony Ferguson today, it's a meal...

Thanks so much for that!

Hi all, Could someone give me the exact list of what is allowed on 1000 please, I have lost my yellow book and am starting 1000 tomorrow! Many Thanks x

Well done curly! I have been following your posts since I started this bloody brilliant diet and you are always so upbeat and supportive so well well well done on your weightloss and confidence!! Ps, love the new photo!

Lin - 4.5lbs???!!!! Brilliant!! I know that even though this is what you want, this weekend will be tough for you so keep your chin up and dont let food tempt you. When you get to the stage you are at when you look great and feel great it is so easy to say 'feck it sure I will stop now' (I have...

Hi Girls, I have been enjoying being a lady of leisure so much I havent been near the computer! Lin, how did wi go? Are you staying on till your 100/ or 25bmi? I hope you can, you have done so well and have been great support to myself and others so I have my fingers crossed that everything...

The way your wi's are going you could do it quicker Lin! Defo try and stay on and finish the job once and for all!

Lin - I know the break up was on the cards, but I am sure it is still not nice, but on a positive note you look and more importantly feel fantastic so better now than 6 months ago when you could have bashed yourself with the " if only I was thin" stick. Heres to a new and exciting chapter in...

Its great when the scales finally move Lin! Just had my weigh in - down 3.5lbs, although I am only down 2 on my own scales but say nothing! Naj, I am thinking of starting 810 next week?? Any advice?? 2 weeks of 810, then 3 of 1000 (cause I have a wedding and will be eating and drinking) and...

Well done Lin, great result again! You will be at goal in no time! Naj is right, where is everyone? Havent heard from Gilly in ages, I hope she is ok.

Claire - well done on your great loss, but sad to see you go! Keep us up to date with all your news and the best of luck with the training xx

Oh my god Lin, I just saw your new photos.... You look STUNNING!!!! I love the new haircut, you look like that foxy doctor from holby city - whats her name??? Connie beecham!!! Is that the dress for the makeover? If not, buy it, its looks great on!! I am so delighted for you xx

Thanks Lin!!

I dont believe it girls!!!! 5 pounds!!!!!!!!!! I am shocked!! I love CD!!! How are we all today girls? Just back in work after the bank holiday weekend, which seemed to be full of drink, food and sun.... but I stuck to my water and boy am I glad!

Lin - fingers crossed for a baby when we get married, get thin to get bloody fat again!! Naj - You are dead right, I will be a lady of leisure! Although I wont have half the amount of time to minimim when I am not working! Claire - 7 days again?? Jesus you work hard. although you might meet...

Shakes: Strawberry - 2 Banana - 4 Vanilla Chocolate Butterscotch Cappuccino Chocolate Mint - 1 Fruits of the Forest - 3 Toffee and Walnut Chocolate Orange - 5 Soups: Broccoli and Cheese - bleurgh Chicken and Mushroom - 1 Oriental Chilli Spicy Tomato - 3 Vegetable. Mushroom Leek and Potato...

Thanks girls! Onwards and upwards! Lin, you have to post a pic of the new you!

Claire - I agree with lin, go somewhere else and try a 16 and I bet they will fit!! Girls, big news today. My company is in trouble and yesterday we were all given a 10% pay cut and had our petrol cards taken off us. We were told that there were to be 7 redundacies today......and I was asked...

Alexmummy - keep me posted on how you do without the bars. My cdc is on holidays till next week so I already have my stock for the week, but if it works for you i will defo give it a shot!

Lin, how did the wi go? How are we all toady girlies??

Alexmummy, you have done so well to come this far! It is still going in the right direction, so hopfully this is just a plateau. Good idea about the mix a mousse, will give it a try instead of bars.

I think you are right alexmummy, I will cut the bars down for a week or two and see how I go.

No, not the same CDC. But I have to say since I became addicted to the forum, I have been begining to plan in my own head about training as a cdc. It is something that I would love to do, and since redundancy is on the horizon for me it would be a great time to do it. I wonder would you make any...

Claira, you will be surprised how quickly things will fit you! I had a pair of 16 trousers that were way too small when I started and after about 2 weeks they were perfect and then about 2 weeks later they were swimming on me!

Sorry, just to say as well Naj, my CDC is a lovely lady but really hasnt got a clue, if I wasnt on this site I would have been on bars from day one and drinking as much of the flavourings as I liked (her advice is a bit off!!) So, I dont think she would be of much help to me. Also she did the...

Yep, I am 100% Naj, havent had a morsal of food or drink since I started. My water is always good - usually 5 ltrs a day. I have been eating suger free chewing gum for the death breath - could that be it??

Hi, I was in an 18. I am now in a 16 but some of my 16s are pretty loose. I am quite tall though and have never really had the thing that some of the other girls have had - one stone=one clothes size. For me it is always been nearer two stone=one clothes size, but sure everyone is different...

What is bloody going on?? Three poor wi's in a row.. I am 100% ss. I did LT last year and never had such crap losses. I know that I am nearer to target than I was when I did LT but still, its very disheartening. I also know that with only a stone and a half to go that on ww I would probably be...

Well done girls!! Naj and Gilly, brilliant losses this week!! Claire, I am so delighted that things went so well with the doc, you must be so chuffed! Girls - I am only down 2 AGAIN this week, WTF???? That is 3 weeks in a row. Should I give the bars and the water flavourings a miss maybe??

Morning ladies! Well done Sharon, 5 lbs is brilliant! That should give you the will power to steer clear of the chocolate! Debs - I think you should defo just stick to 3 a day, and see how that goes for you. Had a slight move on the scales this morning - 1lb but better than nothing!

Lin - well done on your 3.5!! That is brilliant. Naj - I told you you would be an 810 convert!!! No move on my scales AGAIN!! What the hell is going on?? I wouldnt mind if I had been bold but I am always 100%. I really have to stop weighing daily. Right. Thats it. I am not weighing myself...

Well done curley! What an achievement!!!

Well done Lauralou!! That is brilliant!!

Claire!!! Brilliant news!! You totally deserve it after all your hard work!

Brillint KD, thanks so much!

Naj!! Well done!! I think I would fall off the scales in shock if I ever saw 10 something! Best of luck for wi's today girls! I feel a bit blah today, the scales havent moved in DAYS!!! The weight seems to be coming off so slowly.... Although I got a nice pair of jeans delivered from...

I would post a pic if I knew how to!! Will get oh to stick one up for me so that you can have a look.

Yes, I am sure there is Claire. The dress is a bit more A line than I thought it was. I would prefer a more fish tale sort of bottom so I am sure that a dress maker can take it in. I just can not stress about it or I will go off my rocker!!!

Well, I WAS looking forward to it, but a girl I used to work with got married recently and wore the same dress..... which is fine but I was looking at the photos and thought hmmm that looks a bit like my dress but I dont really like it - and then found out it is my bloody dress!!! I HATED dress...

Please excuse above spelling... can not live without spell check!

Lin - in the 12's!!!! Brilliant!! Bet you feel great today! Naj - Finally, a move on the scales! I bet you will have a good loss this week and be an 810 convert! Sharon - well done on your 100% day, how are you getting on today? Gilly - how are you? Claire - You are right about the gym...

Thats a good idea Lin! I will do that so, and hopefully see a nice loss next week.

Thanks for that girls! Looks like its back to the sofa with a fag!

No, I have been sticking to three. Just back from wi and only down 2, I have been 100% so maybe I should stop the excersise, decisions decisions!

Well, back from weigh in - 2 pounds... I have been totally 100% as always and I have only lost 4.5 in the last two weeks. Even though I feel great and defo look much better it is a bit disheartening. Do you think it could be excersise thats doing it? In the last couple of weeks I have been power...

Hi All, I have done a fair bit of excersise the last two weeks and my scales seem to have stuck a bit even though I am 100% and drink gallons of bloody water! Has anyone any advice/tips? Thanks!

Morning Ladies! Hope you all had a great weekend, I am off for my wi at lunchtime so looking forward to that. Naj, dead right. If you have no loss this week go back to ss, you are so near target now that it must be so frustrating to see no move on the scales! See you all later!

Lin, 4lbs!!! Brilliant!! Thats your five stone now is it?? Your makeover will be such a reward for all your hard work! Claire, you are brilliant for getting your ass to the gym when you are working so hard, I would so use that as an excuse NOT to go! Girls, I was looking through photos on...

Hi All, Quick question for you all, can you go straight to 810 from ss or do you have to do ss+ first?? Also, how long should you do at each plan when you are refeeding? Thanks!

Claire, Naj is right - muscle does weigh heavier than fat, so you must be building loads of it!! how are your clothes fitting you? Welcome Debs! Your clothes getting loose is the biggest incentive!

Well done Claire!

Claire, dont get too hung up on the scales, its the inches and how you look that count! When you are fit you look so much better, tight and lean, so forget the scales for the time being. How are your clothes fitting? BTW girls, had wi - down 2.5lbs, which isnt great, but I have decided from...

Naj - you are a stunner!!

Hi Naj and Lin, thanks for the pms! FB you soon!

Morning All!! I am in great form this morning! I have my wi at lunchtime, and the best thing about this diet (appart from the weight loss of course!!) is that I sleep so well.... I woke up in the fireplace this moring! (slept like a log... get it!!!lol) Jeez I crack myself up. How are we...

You deserve to fell good because you bloody look it!! Why does the weight not come off evenly??? I am bottom heavy, with a big bum/stomach and when I lose weight the first place it comes of - of course, my boobs, which are tiny anyway! There is no justice! The car and petrol card are worth...

Girls, how did the weekend go for you all?

Best of luck today Kaf!

Lin, I just had to have another look at your photos, where are you planning to lose another 41 pounds from??? What size would you like to go down to?

Oh. MY. GODDDDDDD........ Lin, you look stunning!! Like a different girl! You must be chuffed with yourself? Thanks for putting those up, I have been furiously posting all morning to try to get to 50!! Same as myself, sitting in work with nothing to do. I work in the motor trade which is...

Brilliant, Well done!!

excellent

Apartments

Well done everyone - you are my thinsperation!!

Thats brillint, thanks Caroline!

somethings gotta give

Linneyloo, I totally agree with you ref Paul McKenna. Before I did CD I spent a month doing Paul and found it brilliant! The whole focus was off food for the first time in my whole life. It was just such a relief. I lost about a pound a week which in itself is great, but with my wedding coming...

Sorry, but I am determined... I will win...

Caroline, you might be surprised. I found a dress in my wardrobe still with tags on which I had forgotten I had ever bought. Fab dress, very victoria beckham, sort of tight pencil type dress. two weeks ago it wouldnt go over my hips and yesterday it fit! Zipped all the way up! It is still a bit...

Good morning all, and big congratulations to all the skinny beatchs!! Lin, as soon as I get to 50 posts I will be straight on to see your before and afters, everyone is raving about them! Naj, best of luck on 810, I would be nervous eating myself, in case the food monster came out and eat...

No, put I am getting married in August and want to start trying for a baby so dont want to not take it?

Girls, A bit of advice needed - I am 100% ss and want to start taking folic acid - could this have a negative effect on weight loss or ketosis? Pj

Morning all, Housework and food shopping are my plans too, good god this diet really does ruin your social life!! But hey I didnt really have one before with saving my ass off for the wekking so no big deal!! The scales have moved nearly every day this week so its a great boost - I am nearly...

Ah the dreaded week three!! I have done LT twice before and both time in week three I lost a pound, which is so disheartening. But both times my clothes were looser in week three so I kind of figure its like your body catching up on the great weight losses in the first two weeks. I think thats...

Lin!!!! I was just on the 100% forum..... 100 days today!!!! Well done, that is such a brilliant achievement in itself, you have done brilliantly xx

Well done Lin! 4lbs thats brilliant!! How did you get on Claire and Naj?

Fabulous bag!!! What colour did you get??

Two weigh ins tonight! Best of luck skinny beatchs!

Day 23 for me on ss 100%, and delighted with myself!

Morning girls, How are we all this lovely rainy day?? Lin, I hope the senokot got you moving! Nova, how is day three treating you?

By the time we got engaged I was 16 stone 10 (from 11 stone....in two bloody years) I can not even look at the photos of our party. I got to the stage that I didnt want to go to our local shopping centre in case I met someone I hadnt seen in a while, but still felt powerless to do anything...

Have you a goal in mind Nova, something that you are losing weight for? Or is it just the right time for you?

Thanks Lin!

I will be a skinny beatch Nova!!! Well done for taking the step and starting. I found days one and two the hardest, I was STARVING, but after that it was plain sailing. Once you go into ketosis you wont know yourself, you just feel great. And to see the scales dropping is such an insentive...

5lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Delighted with myself!! I bloody love CD. Lin, dulcolax is your only man. It will sort you out good and proper!

Hi All, How much of the berry fruit drink can you have a day?? I thought it was one level teaspoon a day but by cdc has just told me I can have as much as I like? Any help on this one guys? Pj

Thanks Lin, I'm not expecting too much as the scales literally didnt move from monday till Sunday, even though I was 10000%, but hey ho it will happen, and my clothes are all falling off me so its going somewhere (just not the bloody scales!!) Hi Novax - welcome! I am Pj, and I am going into...

Hi Girls, Well done for getting through the weekend! Naj, my wi is on a monday, but today for this week so hopefully I will have a good loss for the team! Claire, fair play to you for getting out to the gym, I dont think I would be able for it! I would much rather sit watching eastenders...

Hi Naj I am in Swords, so not far from you at all! I am getting married on the 15th of August in the Merrion Hotel, its just off Stephens green. I have ordered a dress, which will have to be taken in LOADS!!! I am a bit nervous about it though as I really sort of bought one of the first...

Hi Lin, Wow, that is brilliant weight loss. Well bloody done!

Thanks Naj! Hi to Claire, Gilly, Lin and sooze too! I am Pj, 33, live in Dublin and getting married in August, the best motivation yet to lose weight! Hope you are all getting on well. I have been 100% ss so far and I am halfway through week 3. The scales havent moved all week, but my...

Brilliant! Thanks Naj - I have posted on your thread!

Hi all, Is there a space on your team for me? Pj

Hi All, Would you have a space on your team for me?? I am in the middle of week 3 and have been 100% up till now and would love to join you? Thanks, Pj

Hi, I am in week three and would love to join a team! Thanks

I have been the sames weight since last Sunday, and finally the scales have inched down this morning.....half a pound.... I expected a poor weight loss this week (week 3) but this is torture!!!:confused: Could chewing gum be stopping me from losing?? I am still in ketosis, I checked...

Hi all, Had my second wi at lunchtime - 3 1/2 pounds. I know its 11 pounds in 2 weeks but cant help but feel a bit dissapointed. Anyway,moan over, onwards and upwards! I am 100% committed to being 100% on this diet so heres to a better week next week! BTW, just had my first bar...

Thanks so much for all your responses! The first wedding is a while off so I will see how I do up till then, and decide nearer to the time.

Hi All, I am on week 2 of ss and have been 100%, I am getting married on in 16 weeks and want to lose 3 1/2 or 4 stone. Here is my dilema though, I have 2 weddings coming up, on the 6th of June and the 11th of July - which I will have to eat and drink at (well in all honesty, I dont HAVE to...

Hi All, How do I go about joining a team? I would love some team mates for encouragement! Pj

Thanks for all the replies girls! I am in much better form today, I just have to stop scale hopping twice a bloody and I will be fine!! I am NOT weighing myself until sunday...or maybe saturday...:p

Hi All, I had my week one wi on monday and was down 8lbs great yes, but... I think it was really only six as I weighed in with my cdc on a bank holiday monday after a weekend of eating and drinking AND had had a big dinner before I went. Basically what I am trying to say is that on my scales...

Thanks for all your replies! Supermummy - congrats on day one, we will have to keep tabs on each other! MissB - I am in Dublin, and met with my cdc last night, she is really nice, I am delighted. She is on the navan road, I have her details if you need them. I did the same, and all I have to...

Well, today is day one for me. I have been lurking on the forum for the past week or so, and you are all such a thinsperation!! I have done lipotrim before so know the drill, but forgot how bloody light headed you can be in the first few days. I am getting married in August, so want to loose...
