I'm former cambridge diet (which is very similar to lipotrim) - and I would wholeheartedly reccomend sw. you may put on a few pounds in the first week, but it generally comes off just as quickly - when i made the change I did refeed on cambridge diet first so it wasnt as bad, but if you are...

oh no, I dont think I ever really forgave Bela for kissing jacob... so couldnt possibly go onto Jacobs team lol

well i got 9/10 eventually - comp crashed half way through so it says it took me forever! hence I am at the bottom of the list lol

well done Jodidi! thats fab! :) Kitty Anne - its all about Edward ;) trying to find me a vegetarian vampire too except for some reason not that easy to find ;) lol

lol - it is 1.5 syns for 100g, but generally 12 servings in tub, and tub is 130g, so no syns for one serving... I didnt think it tasted too bad... but then I was on cambridge diet for about 2 months so most things taste wonderful to me at the moment! lol

hi I dont know about the gravy but the cheese sauce is 130grm in total and you get more about 12 servings (presumably why one serving is free?) hope that helps!

try Free & Easy dairy free cheese flavour sauce instead - a serving is generally syn free when made up with water!

try marinating them in total 0% yoghurt, garam masala, chilli, garlic, ginger and coriander and then baking in the oven - makes great masala lamb chops if you like spicy food! :) (bake them in a roasting bag and they go incredibly tender). taste great served with salad or rice or whatever really!

cheers chick! thats fab! :) going TGI fridays but there site is not so advanced :(

a better eating out guide would be fab! At the moment I end up guestimating syns for my meals out - e.g. yo sushi, waga mama's, nando's - must admit ww do have a much better eating out guide!

thanks Ryansmummy :) although whats even weirder is that according to the book, breast meat has more sins than the leg meat!

Morrisons and tesco sell the free & easy range (im not talking about morrisons own) and as for the syns, i went on the calculator and checked it, but if you go to the link above, it gives you the nutricion information you need to calculate it yourself for you own peace of mind... :) hmm...

lol sorry trinity 5.5 syns for those babies! ;)

dont worry Hels Im former CD too... it is so much easier!!! do it! :)

I dont hate scan bran - I often use it with 5 laughing cow light triangles as my he a&b, but as a treat its great with a tsp of nutella (1.5syn for nutella and 1/2 syn for scan bran)

btw its cheaper to buy it from morrisons than online :)

Im relatively new to SW but I came across Free & Easy Dairy Free Cheese Flavour Sauce Mix, which for the whole container is 2 syns, and for one serving is syn free... it doesnt taste too bad either Free & Easy Dairy Free Cheese Flavour Sauce Mix 130g by Free & Easy from GoodnessDirect

depends on your dress I guess - one of my friends ordered a made to measure one from ebay (beautiful might I add and only £300) 6 weeks before the wedding! :)

Hi... being hindu, when we have religious ceremonies we cannot attend if we are on our periods, so there is a pill your dr can prescribe for you called Northesterone which is not the contraceptive pill, but delays your period for upto a month nonetheless. Although I never had side effects...

hi all! newbie to SW following CD... i always presumed that nando's chicken would be free provided you took the skin off but thats not what the books says - help! :(

hi there! well i joined SW on monday following CD - I put on 5lbs following CD after refeed and two holidays, so now lets hope it drops off again! so nice being able to eat! lol

hello all! well after CD, then 2 holidays, I took them step on monday and joined SW! yay! I was unfortunately 5lbs heavier but that I can cope with! and besides - not for long... lol hope ur all ok?

hey all! hope you are all doing well! well i know its been a while; two holidays later, and am 5lbs heavier but am ok about it. I am now doing slimming world as of monday but if its ok will still pop by and say hi! hope ur all ok?

well guys - im now getting to that point where im on the verge of losing control - im having one small protein meal a day but for some reason in my head it is acceptable to have a bit more salad and all those stupid things! :( few more weeks of re-feed and then so cannot wait for sw! hows...

youre definately doing the right thing :) although dont the shakes have high syn values? did i read somewhere its about 6 syns?

welcome back flowey! sounds like u had a fab holiday! so jealous! lol

carolyn - im no expert but rather than get on that slippery slope, why not just join SW now so you have some sort of structure to follow - im sure it wont interfere with your do on the 27th as much as CD would have anyway? I must admit, that that is why I know I cant get to the 1500 plan on CD...

i must admit, my plan isnt to go all the way up the plans guys - one week on ss+, 2 weeks on 810, 2 weeks on 1000, 1 week on 1200 and then sw... but i know 1200 is when i start losing control so i cant stay on that plan too long! roll on sw! :)

well guys started working up the plans now! on ss+ this week and will go to 810 next week (a bit earlier than i would have liked but on antibiotics so needed to have more than just shakes to line my stomach :()

thats fabulous! go you!

i think so - but then i asked her if i could eat just the egg white (as i only like the whites anyway lol) and she wasnt too sure so i dont know?

whose gonna reply to me when ur on holiday becky? lol dreading exam results! get mine the week i get back from holiday! :( stuck to the plan in london - thank god! although obviously it is reflected in the lower than hoped for weight loss over two weeks - but i can live with that! :) got to...

i have coke zero once in a while - but i know from when i did cd before and when it was allowed, that it doesnt knock me out of ketosis.... to be honest I have it more as an occasional treat and do make sure I drink lots of water with it just in case :)

funny that - i was thinking the same thing yesterday as i started SS+ cos im on antibiotics - my CDC said something about the yolks being too high in saturates?

definately toxic company! i did CD before and put on alot of the weight id lost BUT i know 100% that it was my own fault! I split with my ex and although the outside world didnt know what was going on in my head, i turned to food for comfort and ate what i wanted when I wanted (im definately an...

hi lisa - i also had my 6 week wi last night - i lost 6lbs but mine is fortnightly - I know what you mean about being dissapointed but at the same time, realistically, which other diet is there where you lose even 3lbs a week consistently? we gotta keep positive :)

hey folks! just thought id post and let you all know - i lost another 6lbs which takes me to 29lbs lost in total and over the 2st mark! :)

thats absolutely amazing! well done! im sure you will be a fab cdc!

im with you on that one - although one of those things i rarely voice as the response i get is "you should be doing it for you blah blah blah" ... it is for me though - that is what would make me happy in life :)

well done on the loss! thats really good ...especially if ur being a little bit naughty lol :)

have a great holiday hun! hope the rest of u guys are doing good? was on a hen weekend this weekend - and so wish id been on sw already rather than CD - it was so hard! :(

well back from my hen weekend and the beyonce concert! stuck to it as best I could but doubt i am still in ketosis! :( hows everyone else been?

ok those guys who have made the switch from cd to sw - I have an intelligent question to ask you (yes I do have them occasionally as opposed to my usual dribble lol): when you made the switch, which CD plan were you on? thanks

oh cant wait to hit the size 14's! lol at the moment am a comfortable size 16 in most things (except for this one dress from New Look which a friend gave to me - which despite losing all the weight just does not look right! :() well we're going to a thai restaurant on saturday - and I have...

Curlywurly I love ur enthusiasm! lol must admit Iv become a right little (well not so little lol) walking promoter too) lol I see the wonders CD has done for me in just 5 weeks and look at other people who are larger and really feel the urge to tell them all about it! lol

guys not actually on slimming world at the moment (on CD but will be back to slimming world in a few weeks) but anyway recipe for Kheema samosa - dont use the curry one as it is too runny! for the filling: 1 pack quorn mince/lean minced lamb 1 onion fresh crushed garlic (about 4 cloves) fresh...

hey girls - r u all ok? our thread seems to have gotten a little quiet but thought I would post anyway in the hope that we get some life back! lol :) off to london for a hen weekend - really not good whilst on CD! :( but have told everyone im not drinking and will only eat one meal with them...

they're near the oxo cubes in my local tesco :)

omg scojos - r u ok? hope u had a good bday anyway? :)

drink lots of water hun - usually that helps :)

to flirt! ;) seem to be flirting subconsiously these days and Iv only lost 23lbs! hate to think what lengths flirting will have got to once I get to target! lol

btw eternal flame - i think we will probably be starting around the same time? I go on holiday july 17th for a week and will start sw when i get back! cant wait! lol

dont worry becky i know exactly what you mean! i dont mind explaining the diet but then its the disapproval which irritates the hell out of me; a close friend of mine was a real pain in the ass to the point of where I turned around to her and said "do you think Im stupid" and naturally her...

mumto4 dont beat urself up over it, .5lb is still a good loss - dont forget u cant expect CD losses on it :) and first week doesnt really count seeing as your body is in shock about real food! lol

nope - my hair stopped falling out in huge chunks within two weeks (thank goodness) lol although it was a good 2 months before it started looking thick again :(

hi - last time i did CD (this is attempt 2) i had the same problem - I used to take vitamin B complex and vitamin C supplements whilst on Cd - it didnt knock me out of ketosis but I dont know if that was just luck? It did however, stop the hair loss being so drastic after less than 2 weeks (did...

must admit im a fan of the veg boulllion marigold stuff too - but my CDC is great about it - as she says to me, if it works for you then stick at it! :) I also put chilli flakes in the "veg soup" pack to add a little flavour... think iv been lucky as it hasnt affected weightloss or ketosis... :)

oooh i just checked mine and im 4lbs shy of being overweight! lol so exciting! hopefully if its a good week, ill be overweight next week! lol

ooooh this place is spooky.... where is everyone? hope ur all sticking to it wherever u r girls! sx

Hey there Wonna - come join in (I just stand on the side lines counting the days until I can actually start slimming world! lol) but hey Im supporting you gals all the way! Triple trouble - know its not what you really want to hear but quark mcflurries sound delicious right now! lol Hels -...

hey peeps! hope you all had a nice weekend! Becky I should be in the 12's soon but my aim is to be in the 11's before my holiday too (I still have 6 weeks from my last weigh in)... These bbq's are so hard arent they? you just cant escape the smell at all! lol well I ate on Friday at the...

fair enough! Scojos get ur butt into gear .... or you may end up coming to join me again on CD! lol

lol how do you go about making a thread a sticky? anyone know? or should i say does everyone know and am I the only dense one? lol

i think thats a fab idea - so many people have the same intention and it would be so helpful!

link for the thread: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/94926-cambridge-diet-slimming-world.html

becky - I started a thread on the slimming world section as to people going from CD to SW as I had a few questions as to whether it was a good idea or not and its amazing how many people do the same thing... check it out!

I have no idea about how to go about that but that would be fabulous! i had no idea when I asked the question that there were so many people with the same CD to SW thoughts! lol

Queen of Belfast City - agree with you totally but Im hoping that afer a week or so of slimming world (once I get there) , hopefully my body will adjust and Ill get back to losing! fingers crossed! :)

dont worry guys am still sticking with CD :) had a wi last night and in 4 weeks I have now lost 23lbs, I want to lose another 21lbs in the next 6weeks and then plan on making the switch! Im just salivating at the thought of sw but its ok, I will do this 6 weeks! lol btw someone who is on sw -...

well peeps - another 8lbs gone! :) 4 weeks down, 6 weeks to go and then my holiday and then slimming world! :) Becky - Im a qualified lawyer but by doing the CTA exams I become dual qualified and am classed a specialist! dull or what! lol But generally its not essential, its just me being a...

omg! Hope-have a fantastic birthday! i swear Im so blonde at the moment (no disrespect intended to blondes lol) Becky - Im studying for Chartered Tax Advisory examinations - I thought it would be fun to be a tax specialist lawyer though lord knows what the hell possessed me to think that! lol

oh gees - im sorry if i miss anyone in this post - bit rushed at work! :( Becky - its such a nice feeling to finish exams isnt it? lol Although I have more in November :( Blossom - its ok to take a break hun - ur health comes first at the end of the day! :) big hug! Flowey - well done on...

oh guys! im so jealous! lol I still got 6 weeks on CD before making the change :( (I know i could change now but I'm sure ill be happier if I lost the majority before starting SW) lol

hey flowey, dont worry I have the same problem - I grew up speaking gujarati and english, and despite being fluent in both languages, there sometimes just arent the words to find direct translations... strange isnt it...also, do you find that alot of the times your thoughts are in french too? I...

well done thats fabulous! thats more than i lose on CD half the time lol did you do both red and green days? or the easy way plan?

hey guys! sorry manic bank holiday but you will be pleased to know that I am still ss 100%! 2nd wi on thursday (i only have wi every fortnight as I figure the bigger losses might help me stay on the wagon longer) lol well this week was not so bad - had a barbeque at my house yesterday and...

oh my goodness! well still soul sourcing for a few more weeks! but will keep checking in and cant wait to join SW after CD has finished! :)

oh my goodness - so nice to know Im not alone in my desire to change over to slimming world! :)

oh i so cant wait till i get to that point! ss for atleast another 3 weeks! :(

i think you should go to ss+ or 810 this week and work up the plans and start sw on ur return (listen to me - like I know what Im talking about? lol)

oh but yeah happy to buddy up! would be nice to have someone to talk to who appreciated the pains of CD and joys of SW lol

lol well I still have a few weeks Im going to see through on CD but will probably start re feed in another 3 weeks so when I come back from my holidays (July 25th) i can get straight onto slimming world - the thought of food in any form at the moment sounds fab! Im even missing scanbran! lol

hey guys just a quick msg as im supposed to be working oops! Regarding the bars - My CDC told me to eat them whilst drinking a pint of water, to avoid letting the higher carbs effect you - it works if you want to give it a try! :) back to work and the clients! :(

i know i was reading about extra easy! it sounds fantastic!

ur excited? trust me Im counting the days! lol and whats really nice is that my mum and brother have agreed to join SW with me when I do join so it will be extra fun in the sense that we will all be following the same plan (even though they have a lot less to lose! lol)

thanks victoria - I did slimming world a couple of years ago and initially it was great but then I became really disheartened when i hit a plateau and couldnt get beyond it - at which point I stupidly quit! :(

Im really sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but could really do with some advice...Im currently on Cambridge Diet, but intend to come off it in a few weeks and join SW - has anyone else in here done this? If so how did they find it? Im worried that Im going to pile on the weight after...

this is the part i am dreading - although have done cd before obviously maintaining hasnt been my strong point or i wouldnt be back here... or at least not to the extent I am. Im only on week 3 this time, but my plan this time is that on week 8 go on to ss+ as on week 10 I go on holiday so want...

oh lord! so much going on! Hope dont worry about maintaining - after the week u have had thats damn admirable in itself! men are such tossers at times! still u know what they say - you dont know what u had until uv lost it, and hes going to regret it for a long long time, but sod him -...

My CDC game me this green card thing where she records my weight each time I go and measurements for waist, hips, bust, arms and thighs... which she fills in every week? must admit the measuring does help! (i lost 3 inches off my hips in two weeks and it is extra motivating!) ofcourse -...

omg had my first porridge! apple and cinnamen! orgasmic is the only word for it! lol ;)

hope - Big Hug! men! :mad: ladies sorry i havent been around, had some major exams to contend with ... but good news is that I have stuck to ss and went for my first wi last night (after a fortnight)- and I couldnt believe it! I have missed the 14stones altogether and gone from 15st to 13.13...

wow! lol I am so envious! :)

water definately helps! although to be honest in my case soulsourcing was actually useful - i had some major exams which finished on wednesday and it was a blessing in the run up not to have to worry about being hungry as i had to revise and didnt have time to eat! :) i tend to drink black...

oh i do like this thought of being a spf! lol although pretty sure there is more than 6 of us? new daily thread sounds cool though! i like the idea of checking in daily (and having a good b**ch if necessary lol just kidding) frothers are fab btw - i picked up a cheap one from ikea a few...

lol thanks guys! im going to try and see if my cdc will let me take less than 7 as she kept on going on about ordering them in especially.... so made it a bit difficult :( she is lovely, dont get me wrong, but I think she has had a few issues with things going out of date... :) I figure 2...

flowey and cheska... new day tomorrow new start! :) stick with it or ull only kick urself a few months down the line! :) big hugs! u can do it! madge well done u! in only 5 days too! :)

Shanny well done for doing something earlier... dont wait till ur 30 like me! I kick myself for not doing it once and for all years ago - Iv been overweight as long as I remember and wish Id done CD when i was a lot younger... although iv not missed out on anything because of my size, i think I...

oh slim sammy trust me it does get easier! this is my second time on cd and both times after day 3, its a breeze! the only difficulty i find is I become a bit anti social... in that Im quite happy to go out to a meal and have a coffee but it makes other people uncomfortable... but in terms of...

lol oh great, if ur getting old im getting older as its my 30th! lol

Sunshine Singer - can you have both flavours on the soul source plan? thanks?

hi im on the ss plan which isnt too bad - think day 2 was my hardest! Have agreed with my cdc to c her every 2 weeks so first wi is on 14th :) Trust me Shan if I can follow this plan u will be fine! lol good luck!

hi all! on day 4 and still going strong - but just noticed that CD do porridge? I dont remember that being around when I did it last year? I spoke to my councillor about it and she doesnt generally stock it but will order it in for me provided I take 7 at least... can people just tell me...

awww bless hun - im know expert but surely the fact that ur aknowledging it and dealing with it is better than just ignoring it and binge eating? Credit to u for being so strong and picking urself back up! :) big hugs!

I know this is possible a really silly question but are you allowed to put unsweetended soya milk in tea and coffee? I know regular milk is a no go but wasnt sure if soya was the same? thanks

room for one more? allbeit a big one more - but not for long hopefully! lol first day today 15st... aim for end of May to be under 14st! :)

im another day oner! lol been ok today! but i guess today was the easy part! roll on keytosis! ...pls...pretty pls! ;)

hi there! Im on day one today and a more than willing buddy! :) So far really positive but dreading day 3-5 as last time I had the headache from hell- hurts even thinking about it! but no mercy this time! I will succeed! just having first shake of the day now! choc mint! lol cant wait till...

Hey Lisa! Well day one for me too today! so Im with u on this one! Did do CD last year and lost about 2.5 stone and then became over absorbed in my life and less absorbed about my weight so put on a stone since then - I hit 15st and thought no way! So now plan is to lose at least 4 stone by...
