I've set my self a 2stone target for 6 weeks (did that last time):D I think I've needed this shock to get me going. Day 6 and all is well :) I've going to ask for 1 size down from the dress I measure in September so I keep going. I will need to go up to 810/1000 so I don't loose too much...

I'm on SS so it is a little easier. Although it does become a pain when you travel alot and making a shake/soup in a meeting room is a bit of a struggle! I agree, only take to work what you need and keep remembering why you are doing this! I've come back on SS after stopping for 6 weeks...

I lost nearly 2 stone a few months ago but didn't feel that well on CD. I stopped and started Weight Watchers (well never really started as I went on holiday) probably put 12lbs back on. Just got a call from the wedding dress shop and I need to be measured in 6 weeks! :eek: PANIC STATIONS -...

I've been really struggling on this diet. I've not been hungry or gone off the path but I've never felt so ill in my life! I tried SS+ for a week and my weight loss went down to 3lbs a week. Now some might say that this is good but to be honest I could do that on WW and the gym!! I'm also...

I'm going for my weigh in tonight but I'm actually feeling fatter than ever even though I have lost over 20lbs! My tummy is the issue - when I've lost weight before I've gone to the gym, I'm losing weight but my tummy is awful! Is anyone else feeling this way??

I have a friend who lost 6 stone on CD for her 40th. She's just been away for 1 week and put 6.5lbs on (in only 1 week!!!) She has been back 2 weeks and can not get back into it. People say CD is an easy diet - not as far as I'm concerned; its tough. But we are here for each other so lets...

Thanks, this will be my 4th weigh in (tomorrow). I do have 4 'meals' per day and the strange thing is that I don't feel hungry just awful. No matter what size I have been I've always been busy (how come I'm not a size 12!!:sigh:) I'm going to try SS+ from Friday. REALLY worried as my CDC is...

I knwo that my body will take some time to get used to so little food but I have seriously never felt so ill and tired (and always COLD!!) since starting this diet.:cry: I have a busy lifestyle; two dogs to walk; a child; house to clean and a job which I frequently travel with. I feel so...

I thought that 810 was supposed to kick you out of ketosis. My CDC has suggested I do this before my holiday to prepare for food and drink. However, you will still lose weight as it is still a low calorie diet.

I made the crisps last night and I am totally back on the idea of losing weight and keeping on with this diet :D I was so concerned that there were so many 'sweet' alternatives but now I feel that I've got something to munch on!!!

I would dread buying a smaller dress for the wedding and finding it did not fit - you would certainly waste a lot of money. I would get a bigger dress and pay for the alterations!

Hi, I'm getting married on 6 Feb 2010! I thought I had loads of time to lose weight but OMG its only 9 months now!! I was 18st and in a 20/22 three weeks ago. A friend got me onto the Cambridge Diet and I have lost 17lbs in 3 weeks! Feeling so good. I've chosen my dress (not ordered it...

Good luck - finding your own path is the only way. I've heard people say that this is a lazy/easy diet - I disagree, it takes a lot of will power and sometimes its not the right time or diet. I've done well so - keep it up :wave_cry:

Ive just made the crisps from the receipes given earlier and I have to say that they were gorgeous!! :) I used leek and pot and had a whole bowl full with a cup of spicy tomato soup using the 'perfect soup' instructions - that was so much nicer. :gimi: I feel that I have found my savoury food...

I always find that buying clothes are a nightmare. If I get something for one of the cheap shops I'm always bigger (which doesn't feel good) but take a smaller size in Evans! Looking forward to having every shop on the high street available to me.

Welcome back Louisa!! I'm on week 4 of CD and although I'm struggling (because I don't like many of the flavours!) I've lost 17lbs in 3 weeks (loving the results!) Stepping on those scales is awful - but it will be the last time you weigh 15 stone!! Good luck for this week and hugs for the...

I get weighed in at 5:45 every Wednesday so its too late to have nothing all day - I have porriage, shake and then stop drinking at bout 3pm (ish) and use mouth fresherner

Hi I'm new to this forum but I go onto the Cambridge Diet forum often. I'm on CD, three weeks and I've lost 17lbs - its tough at times but I'm slimming down for my wedding dress, no better motivation!!

Well, I had been naughty and picked at some food this week so I think that 3lbs was more than I deserved!! :o Got some tetra to do the frozen ice cream thing and my CDC is getting some mix-a-mousse stuff on Monday. I also bought some orange flavouring - not sure about that, tastes salty even...

I thought it was inspiring and I also thought she looked amazing!

Did anyone see this programme last night. She worked so hard (although plenty of money for personal trainers and boot camps helped!!) but she looked amazing in her wedding dress. I kept thinking, is no-one told her about CD, it would have really helped her. Gave me motivation to keep going...

I usually wait for offical weigh in but I've been picking this week so went to boots. It said I've lost 2.5lbs which is rubbish but good if you've been naughty like me :sigh::break_diet: I would always wait - nice surprise - or not for me this week (bad girl!!)

My finance has been fab - although he tells me that there is no way he could do this diet! :D My mum is always going on about my weight so she is delighted - even if I wasn't eating!! :sigh: My mother -in-law to be this I'm simply crazying and doesn't understand why on earth I'm on a diet...

People have mentioned getting something from the CDC to make a dessert, what is this? How much does it cost and is it nice? I've been picking this week :479:and I know my weight loss will be low. Need some other stuff to eat - why have Cambridge not made more savoury things!!:sigh:

Caroline I travel to London and stay in hotels frequently. I had three nights on my first week - that was tough. If you are in London I use the Park Plaza County Hall - all the rooms have a little kitchenette (microwave) etc. I find it fab for making porriage and there is a kettle, little...

Thanks everyone! Getting weighed tomorrow so I will ask about SS+. Feel like a bit of a failure because I have 'picked' this week, not sure about how much I will have lost :cry: Trouble is, I'm not hungry! I'm just so bored of the same flavours. I'm starting to think that this is just going...

I've been on SS nearly three weeks (weigh in on Wed) and I have lost 1stone in 2 weeks but I have never been so miserable!! I feel that the lack of variety is getting to me. I don't know if I'm different but I NEVER ate chocolate or sweet things to get to this weight, I like savoury stuff. I...

I agree, we all see eating as a 'sin' of whatever, but its not really. Don't beat yourself up, take the advice and just get back on track Chin up :grouphugg:

congratulations Curly!!! Posts like yours keep us newbies going - amazing and I bet you feel like a new women!!!

Thanks to everyone who motivated me last week. I was really struggling and thought about giving in - well not now:D Weighed in last night and I had lost 1 stone. I was so delighted only 5 more to go but it has been so quick! Slimming world or WW would have taken much longer (normally because...

I dream about the smaller sized clothes I could get into again. I bought, just before I started to put the weight back on a burnt orange bra and thong from Bravissimo and I love it when I had sun tanned skin - that's what I think about - not the food!

Hi, I'm tall so I have 4 'sachets' a day. I was worried about sagging skin but I have a friend who has lost 6st on this diet as she is fine. DO NOT GO TO THE GYM! We are existing on about 500cals (if on 4) per day. I have been on SS for two weeks now. I walk my dogs everyday but on Sunday...

I can only reiterate what others have said - I have two dogs so I know where you are coming from. We all have weight to loss on this sites so we understand and are behind you 100%. Keep going, your weight loss is amazing - just think about how you felt when you were your starting weight - you...

I think you really need to think about what is important. Your family will understand if you have started a diet and you can still be there to see your sister. I've got a wedding at the end of May and although I will have some food I'm not drinking or eating much - I need to get into my...

WOW!! Well done you! I had a really bad day yesterday and I thought about giving up (only 2nd week) but everyone on here kept me going. I've inspired me to keep going - 4st 8lbs, I bet you are a different man! Keep it up xx

Thanks everyone:D I stuck to 100% yesterday but didn't walk the dog! Had a couple of headache tablets and went to bed. Got up this morning in a better mood! Tried on my work trousers (which were snug last week) and they are baggy around the bum! :D But my boots on and they were slacker...

I've been doing fine but I feel like I've hit a brick wall and its only second week in. I can only stomach the banana and strawberry shakes, the others taste vile. Also the soups, they taste so weird. My first week went well but I'm struggling so much.:wave_cry: Not sure if its because its...

I frequently travel - last week I was in London for 3 days. I bought a shaker from a pharmacy and take my shakes with me (most places will give you hot/cold water). I was at a seminar on Tuesday and they had a meal for us all, lovely food and cheese:eek:. I went in the corner like an...

Hi. Was just wondering how everyone did on their first week? I was struggling so much when I was in London but I stuck with it and I got weighed yesterday and lost 91/2lbs!! I was delighted :D Come on, good news needed to keep going!!

Hi Ladies! I did a pee stick test on my 4th day and it went a rosey pink colour which indicates you are in ketosis :talk017: It really does get easier - However, today I cooked a roast chicken dinner for my finance and son and I got very stroppy (not like me at all) I was really angry :mad...

Feeling really good today - did the pee stick test and I'm in ketosis:jelous: Not feeling hungry - CD removes all thoughts of 'what am I gunna eat next' and it plays on your mind - brilliant diet. Also, for a treat, I got a puppy! Well not really a treat! I've been thinking about getting...

KatieMc - this week will hopefully be different, a good weight loss, keep it up! Lardass - good luck, I was so nervous but agree with you. I always cheat on normal diets (one drink, one chocolate - oh I'm off the rails again) Lets us know how it goes! Richy2704 - god knows what happened...

How do I become a member of a team?

Hi, how are you feeling? Have you ever done CD before? Yesterday I thought a bear had taken residence in my tummy, not so bad today but feeling 'fuzzy'

Hi, I'm Alex. Just started CD after I met a friend I had not seen in years. Last time I saw her she was 'large', I could not believe it she has lost 6st in as many months. It all clicked into place - I started on Wednesday and nearly died when the scales said 18st :cry:, so its day 2...

Help!

Well Done!! I'm on day two - headaches today but not feeling too hungry! This places certainly gives inspiration. Wednesday is my 1st WI - fingers crossed

I'm NEW Hi Everyone! I'm on day two, yesterday I thought a bear had made it's home in my tummy but today I'm feeling a little fuzzy round the head :doh:but not hungry. I'm on SS but I have 4 sachets per day as I'm tall. Finding the stuff ok, don't like plain porriage or Toffee and Walnut...
