Oh well it's good to know it's ok to come off for special ocassions........I too would be on it until August............do I don't I! Am going to sleep on it..! Thanks for replying. xx

Trying to decide whether to give this diet a go. Lost 3 stone with weight watchers a couple of years ago but since then I've gone up and down and am still 2.5 stone overweight. Got a holiday to Majorca in 20 weeks and tempted to do Exante to lose some serious weight before I go....HOWEVER...

Any guesses for pro points for burger and half a portion of chips!? Best guesses!!?? Have no idea!

Need to sort out my weight - I lost 3 stone a couple of years ago and it's creeping back on..... Need to rejoin but going on holiday on Saturday. Should I still join tonight in the hope it will encourage me to be more sensible (although I won't be following plan, just not being as chunkish as I...

Going for lunch with a friend and if I don't have my absolute favourite meal off the menu then I will feel deprived and more than likely binge later (I know myself so well) so looking for an points estimate! Will average out the guesses to come up with my final estimate, lol. Really appreciate...

I would love to join in. xx

:cry:Why oh why oh why do I do it!!?? Had a bad weekend with various birthday celebrations so have been angelic since Sunday including walking 4 miles with my mum's dog....perfect that is until today where, so far, I have gone about 10 points over! I STILL haven't reached my pre-Christmas...

Help! This morning I got into the 13's for the first time since I was 16 - now 13.13lb. Woo hoo! Problem = I go on holiday for a week from this Sat and I am dreading putting on weight HOWEVER I really don't want to have to count or not treat myself as it's my one and only holiday of the...

Aggghhhhhhhrrrrrrrr - I know it's stupid to weigh daily, but I always have (well, the last seven weeks I've been doing WW) and every 2-3 days there's a loss. Great motivation. So far lost 1 stone, 4lb. .... .... HOWEVER haven't changed since Tuesday morning now - 3 days of being a.n.g.e.l.i.c...

I had a BLT which was a little naughty as it came to 7 points....still, I didn't get time for breakfast so not left too short for the rest of the day (I get 26points a day..)

Hi all I'm new to this board - been on the cambridge diet for the last week and after a week of being miserable have had to come off. I've lost a load of weight in a week but I simply couldn't do any more so giving weight watchers a go (using books from when I've tried it before!) Hoping...

I'm sorry - I've had to come off CD - was affecting me too much and hubby said he couldn't take my funny mood anymore. Will miss you all. Sorry it was so fleeting. Feeling very sad, but know I have to make this decision. Good luck everyone. xx

Don't - you'll make me cry - seriously filling up.

I'm off. Not strong enough for CD at the moment and very down in the dumps which is causing problems with hubby and I. The only thing I am going to miss about the diet (other than losing weight obviously) - YOU LOT! You're great and without you I wouldn't have been able to get through a...

I've tried other diets before, slimming world and weight watchers, but at this precise moment I think after a week of no food I have gained a new found appreciation of food. I don't crave crap - I crave tuna salad, ham and tomato sandwiches - not chocolate or crisps. Just normal healthy food...

Feeling so down in the dumps today. This diet is so blinkin hard. I know it's giving me results, I know it's oh so simple compared to others, but I miss food. I miss food so much it's making me miserable. Just undecided as to what to do. Hubby is supporting me either way - completely...

What can affect your weight loss? A piece of pasta? Some beans on toast? A slice of toast? 1 crisp as you open a packet for the kids? Not that I PLAN to cheat, but I was just wondering what, in your experience, you can get away with. I was literally just curious as to how paranoid you have...

Hello! I'm the newby. Weigh in tomorrow - very nervous. Was hoping for 10lb this first week which I realise now is a little greedy but it's what my friend lost so that figure had stuck in my head. Never ever stuck to a diet 100% for a week before - always gone a little over on...

Great - I'm on my way over now :-)

I am after a team to join please?? On day 6 of the diet. Finding it a little hard as I really get intense pleasure from eating (then again, who doesn't!) but have managed to stick to it so far so maybe this time I can go all the way? I have about 4.5 stone to lose (although CDC is pushing...

Hi and welcome to the board! I am new too - only on day 6. The first couple of days were horrible - I was even trying to think of ways to explain to people why I had come off the diet (the winner being that I would tell people hubby had told me to come off it because I was so foul tempered -...

Does this make you retain water? The ONLY day I haven't lost weight this week was a day I had a little bottle of fizzy water....just curious...

Sat here waiting for the dishwasher to finish so I can blend my soup. Son eating pasta, daughter noodles and hubby a huge burger with bacon.......how I am not curled in a ball rocking to myself I don't know. LOL. Nearly finished week 1 (on day 6). This will be the first ever diet I have...

I am hoping I won't put it back on...what this diet has taught me is to appreciate my food - what I wouldn't give for a tuna salad at the moment...or even a cherry tomato!! Hopefully this mentality will stay with me...hopefully. For the moment I am focusing on losing the weight - will focus on...

Spoke to counsellor and she has said gaviscon so just brought the biggest bottle they had. It woke me up last night - the worst ever. Very happy and excited at my gaviscon sitting in the kitchen....how sad!! LOL.

Agghhhrrrrrrrrr. Awful awful heartburn. Been getting worse over the last two days (since I went into ketosis). Can I take anything for this? Really making me miserable and, worse of all, reminding me 24/7 that I am on a diet!! Haven't taken a thing yet - so worried about affecting weight...

DON'T GIVE UP! I heard about someone that didn't lose anything the one week and then lost 10lb the following week which was her best ever loss. If you've stuck to it 100% then it's probably your hormones playing you up and the scales will show a bigger loss next week. Please don't give...

I am going to have a BLT sandwich. Bread cut from a fresh loaf, really thin layer of margerine, lean cold bacon, a slice of lettuce and extra tomatoes. Not that I've been thinking about it much......LOL. xx

Just had the oriental soup for the first time for lunch - wasn't sure about it at first, but it grew on me :)

(if this has been done before, if you could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful...) Just wondering what everyone's favourite flavours are? I love the apple porridge and the spicy tomato soup with my fave shake being the banana. Worst so far was the cappachino - just...

When you say "double up" do you mean you use a pint of water? Does it still taste ok?? Very tempted to do the same if so....

Phew. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I didn't even realise what I'd done until about 5 minutes after. Div nit I am.... Going to buy some ketostix from counsellor in a bit - £6.50!! but hopefully worth it.....

Have just managed to cook my favourite meal for my son (as it's his favourite too) tuna pasta mayonaise. So proud of myself managing to cook it for him without cracking - made a big batch so there's some for tomorrow in case I'm not in such a good mood! LOL

I am on day 4. I found day 1 ok, day 2 quite hard and day 3 a nightmare - I was ready to give up HOWEVER, day 4 has been a revelation - feeling upbeat, energetic, not hungry and completely in control. My advice is basically DON'T GIVE UP - once you go into ketosis on day 3 or 4 it will totally...

Mine was spot on: Like most of us you aren't entirely satisfied with your body. However, you realise that we can't all be supermodels and at times feel great about the way you look It's the "at times" which is correct. Very few and far between times tho! Lol.

In heaven - first decent cup of coffee in days as I've put a sweetener in. Slightly worried as the sweeteners I have are "low calorie" and looking at them they have 0.17kcal and 0.04 carbs per sweetener. Do you think they will be ok?? Only having 1 in a cup.....and probably about 3 cups a...

(heading supposed to read "plonker" but so cross I anger typed and therefore came out as ploker, whatever that is!) Took my three year old to the loo whilst out and to save from germs as I always have done, I stuck her lolly my mouth for about 10 seconds. I am only on day 4 of this diet so...

Are these ok to have? Hearing mixed reviews - no, they will effect your weight loss, yes but only one a day, yes but only one a cup, yes as many as you want....:doh: Really really missing my coffee as I can't bear it without a sweentener (normally I have three!)

Morning all. Sat here slurping my banana shake and savouring every mouthful (while the kids are watching Tom & Jerry!). Hoping today will be a better day than yesterday - I was so close to quitting. We drove all the way from Birmingham to Cardiff to go to the Dr Who Exhibition and honestly...

Someone I know mentioned it was ok to weigh myself every day on this diet because I am guaranteed to lose weight. So, with excitement I have been weighing myself first thing every day. Second and third day I have losses (2lb on second day and 3lb on third day) but when I weighed myself this...

I am on day three and really struggling. Starving hungry and really really missing the taste and routine of food. Could almost cry! People keep telling me to keep going as it feel ten times better by day 5, and I really really hope that's the case because otherwise I am going to have to give up...
