amazing difference in such a short space of time! you have really shrunk well done you!

well done you!

I think by doing it the second time round I know now never ever ever again will I put the weight back on. I am setting myself a margin and if I go over it I know there is some serious work to be put in!

ah those shake places are going up everywhere but I like my cambridge one thanks! Birthday cakes are a killer for me ! I'll show you my little girls first birthday cake I had made and I couldnt eat any of it :0( looked yummy! then again it did look too nice to eat too! We also went to costco...

hello and welcome. You've already said that 5pm is your trigger moment when you 'give in' . Now you need something to fill this time slot with. Even if you go and buy yourself loads of magazines or something that interest you or go and have a bath or something that completly distracts you from...

yes choc mint reminds me of mint aero yum yum yum!

does sound like she doesn't want the competition. However I thought there was bonuses for counsellors who sponsor? Thats rubbish about maintaining your weight and all that because my cdc asked me to become a counsellor a few weeks ago and yes even though have done this twice my bmi had only just...

lol ! yep you have one too! fashionable is what at the time though hey! lol !

thats exactly why I un-tagged myself! Just you wait soon all these people will be like who is this lovely bloke in all these pics!

yes but its weird I only tell people that are big what my weight was when I started! I wouldn't dare tell any of my skinny friends , my closest friends know round about what I weighed as they can obviously work it out as I tell them what I weigh now and how much I have lost lol! My oh kind of...

and whats that then sulley? lol

cooking packs and making stuff was all the rage when I did cd last time round .. I didn't make anything though apart from the crisps..and when I started moving up plans I had crisps and cottage cheese ..yum!

lol ! Don't worry I had the adidas track suits with picture socks pulled up over them and awful awful things ! I grew out of the phase rather quickly haha!

thank you, its not till I was looking through some pictures last night that I realised the difference tbh. Isn't photography a great thing! Even though those photos of fb are soooo untagged ! haha!

think thats known now as a croydon face lift lol!

I have quite long hair at the moment. I hated it when I got it cut short I have a round face so it made my face look rounder. I have just had a fringe cut in and I really like it . Might go a little bit blonder when I am at goal..not to sure yet lol!

ok, where do I start. I did cd back in jan 2006 and I lost 3 stone taking my weight down to around 9 stone 12. I felt amazing! I then maintained my weight through healthy eating and learning that if I did have a big blow out I had to make up by being good for the next few days. I maintained my...

well done brilliant !

I think its 20-25 healthy bmi, 25-30 over-weight , 30+ Obese. Might be wrong though !

yes! omg get it all the time ! I am quite rude now when people say things like this now.. I say its not how I look its how I feel and I still feel like I want to lose another stone.. now shut up! lol! However then the little demons in your head start going..your looking good..you can stop and I...

make sure the water is ice cold before blending. Put the mix a mousse in the sachet and mix up with a spoon. Remove water from freezer/fridge and blend either in 2 or 3 goes for a good few minutes. Then return to freezer for around 10 minutes. This is how I make it and it is delicious! Think...

lol thanks ;0) more pics to come.. think before I hid away from the camera now I just want to take lots of pictures haha!

ah thanks girls! cant wait to get this last stone off ...woohoo come on me!

Hiya, just added some photos to my album. Waiting for some full length ones to be put up on fb but here is the difference is just under 3 months and 4 stone 5lb gone. Still got another stone to go..and finding this 810 malarky very difficult. Haven't eaten my chicken tonight just can't face it...

on my 810 week now and hate hate hate it! I haven't been able to eat what they are telling me the portion sizes are huge! I have tried splitting the meals up during the day that has helped a bit. I can't go back on ss now so hopefully will start enjoying it more but its very strange to eat real...

I was completly obsessed the first few weeks ! I am still a little bit obsessed but mainly for my little girl.. annabel Karmel recipes coming every which way .. still really really enjoy cooking. Very strange obsession when you can't eat.. however I think by me not eating I just seem to want to...

I can't remember exactly as havent got my card with me but think it was around 3 stone 10lb in 10 weeks.

wondered where in essex you were from ..not far then only 2 train stops away on the c2c!

well done you for getting through it.. its a great feeling when you get home at the end of the night and realise you've 'done it' ! You can still have fun on water ..its hard but if you have good company its great!

thank you mrs! I know and all my problems seem to have started during this diet as I never had anything wrong with my periods at all before hand so I am assuming it is diet related.. our bodys are weird things hey!

thats fantastic. My little lady is 12 months and I think the hardest part about this diet is feeding her! To start with the poor thing ate a lot of fish as I can't stand the stuff so always gave her things I personally didn't like haha ! Great age to do this diet though as my little boy is...

it is really stupid I know! I am going to tomorrow and demanding one just to put my mind at rest as well !

thank you girls a little reassurance is helping. Sorry I can't believe how worried I am . Also because I have never had a smear test as I am just under 25 (even though I have had 2 children) they said that there wasn't much point in having one when I know full well there is a point! So now I...

Hello all , Just really really need some advice . I have been on this diet 13 weeks and have lost 4 stone 5lb . I am really really concerned about my periods (sorry if there are any blokes reading! From 2 weeks into the diet I started bleeding and have literally had a period every 2 weeks with...

ooh minibum you sound exactly like me! I have a 5 year old and a just turned 1 year old. MY 5 year old is off of school and driving my daughter mad haha! they are sooo funny together but they get up to sooo much mischief!

get rid of them defo.. your never going to be in them again anyway!

yes I thought that too coley. I often have a tetra for breakfast, a bar for lunch and a mousse for dinner...don't have the water flavourings though.

really wow you got a bargain there didn't you ! I'll have to take a look and see what I can pick up ! Thanks

I am planning on following a low gi diet too. Haven't got a clue about anything though so need to get a book me thinks! haha! Start 810 tomorrow as my bmi is now 25 and I have finished 12 weeks eek. Still want to lost another stone and a bit though!

hi jim, its strange I was looking at a lot of peoples weigh ins and alot of people seem to have a slow loss in week 7 or 8. I myself had the same think it was 2 and 3/4 one of those weeks, I was still happy with the loss but not overly thrilled! However the next week I lost 6lb. Think its just...

was that debenhams lisa? my dress from debenhams was huuuuuge on the bust so much so I had to go and get the next size down.. I tried it on last night after 1 month (wedding was 27th june) and huge again..mostly around the bust area! weird hey!

I used to like the other bars but now I just stick to peanut , yum! I found the cranberry a bit perfumy its really strange how everyones taste is different

aw thats soo nice that your both doing it together.Good luck on cd,are you on ss or ss+ ? looking forward to hearing from you more and good luck in your first weeks weigh in! Lou

ooh glad you can have tetras and bars in one day thats what I live on. Two choc tetras and 1 bar ...yum!

yes you can that will be fine. Whilst on the subject can you have a mousse and a bar in the same day? I had two mousses yesterday oops as I really couldn't stomach a shake and I had run out of tetras so had two mousses and half a sachet...not good I know! I can't wait for weigh in tonight so I...

hiya zoe, I have 6 bars a week always leave tuesdays without no bars don't know why! I have my weigh in tomorrow and I will have lost just over 4 stone in 12 weeks. I love the peanut bars soooo much and I don't think I would have done so well without them! Your losses are fantastic! Why don't...

congrats that is amazing amazing amazing! you look amazing too! well done you will make a fab cdc..never heard someone with so much confidence and all but praise for everyone and the diet. well done you!

omg sarah that is amazing! well done to you! I don't get weighed till tomorrow . Good luck lottie!

eeek! hard one. Sorry dont know the answer at all but I hope somebody comes on with a solution for you. I did that once and I had to wait till 6 to have all my shakes it was a killer I wasn't hungry just didn't feel well!

sounds like gallstones defo. I am only a young un and my doc didnt send me off for an ultrasound for ages as he thought i maybe to young, suggest it to your gp though. It is an awful awful pain sometimes worse than childbirth as you never know when it is going to end.

it could be if she had a lot to lose... I lost week 1 - 11lb - week 2 - 7lb - week 3 6lb and week 4 5lb so thats quite a bit less than her but it might be achievable.

yes thats what I was thinking. Thinking of giving the garage a lick of paint and puting a desk and some comfy chairs in there. If it was raining I could do a consultation in the living room as long as the kids weren't about.

can I also please ask a question to all of you new cdc's? My house is quite little so downstairs only have quite a biggish kitchen, lounge and downstairs toilet. However at the bottom of my garden I have a huge huge garage.. do you think it would be unprofessional to run my councelling sessions...

nope not me yet but hopefully will soon be joining you as soon as I have filled the forms out and get my training date !! really excited about it though!

I am currently in the process of becoming a cdc too. I am thinking that when my son goes back to school I will be near enough at goal and a few people might ask how I have lost the weight.. I can then say the cambridge diet and if you would like to consider it I am now a counsellor..lol! So...

thanks lizz someone who knows how i feel haha! Well done for getting through your 810 week and good luck for the rest of your time on cd x Thank you unreal that is really nice of you! I am just a bit worried as my cdc said I probably won't be able to go back to ss as my bmi will be at 25 so...

ooh had to look exante up never heard of that one before! Good luck your losses have been great! Lou

I have got my 810 week coming up soon which means that I am going to have to start eating. In a way I am looking forward to it but in a way I am not! Its annoying me now because everyone is telling me I have lost enough and I should start eating .however I know I haven't lost enough and I...

peanut bars and choc tetras are my fave fave fave! try and stay off the scales and glug that water. Make sure you measure out your chicken before hand . You'll be fine any loss is a loss and if its not that big of a loss this week it could be your body retaining water and you will hopefully have...

well done thats fantastic ..have a lovely lovely holiday! I am jealous haha!

I would love to be 9 stone 13lb by my birthday which is 3/9 however first I would like to get into the 10's. I am going away the 22nd August so I would like to be 10 stone 7lb by then .

I have heard some cdc's do charge a registration fee even though mine didn't , as I suppose they have lots of people that give up in the first week and that initial consultation is a bit longer so maybe that is the reason why? Regarding the bars and coke zero I think if it helps to keep your...

its a hard one. You need to try on the dresses in each size and see. I had my sisters wedding on the 27th June and we got our dresses at the beginning of that month as it was very last minute. I got a 16 but 2 and a half weeks later it was falling off of me so I had to get a 14. Again this was...

I thought it was me! I get free internet on my phone so was trying to get on and couldn't ! Need my minimins fix during the day helps loads!

ooh can't wait till I've lost an elephants penis HAHAHAHA!

yep £120 to sign a form ! Now I definatly know why I will not change my doctors lol!

hi sasi, first of all well done with your 2lb loss. Any loss is a step in the right direction. Was you following a low carb diet before you started SS+ ? glug the water this week and don't worry this diet really does work if you stick to it by the letter. Good luck in your journey Lou

hate the porridge myself but my cdc says its one of her biggest sellers. I love love love the bars.. I am addicted to the peanut one at the minute. Its strange because when I had it the first time round they were really hard like teeth breaking hard .. think they must of changed the formula or...

I think that is outrageous! You actually want to do something about your weight and they are literally not letting you! I know round by me the doctors (not my docs as this surgery is rubbish!) charge £120 to sign the form! My doc charges nothing and just signs it then and there ! Lovely man he...

oh I see! I have wood flooring downstairs so use it on that but its like scales on carpet weigh more /less but I didnt know about the leg extensions I probably threw them!

I think like anything it depends how long you work out on it for. The exercises are not really that intense but I suppose its better than doing nothing! I really like the Wii Active thats really good and gives you a better work out. However for someone who doesn't like/want to go to the gym I...

well done am thats fantastic!!!!!! keep it up your doing really well!

mine has only done it once a few weeks back it said I had put on 8lb ! I could have cried! but i done it again and 10lb just fell off of me haha! my little person went from having a huge belly to just a little huge belly! Maybe not accurate enough I suppose if you are an everyday weigher but...

thank you guru x been hard but its sooo worth it ! I have so much passion for this diet! well done in your first weeks loss thats brilliant!

don't beat yourself up whats done is done. Its a new day and back on track! As everyone else has said up your water for the next few days and brush this little hiccup to the side! xxx Lou

congrats to the both of you! great great feeling isn't it! Well done so happy for you both! ! nearly there!!!!!!!! Lou

good luck! hope your first week isn't too much of a toughy! I always weigh on my wii fit as its exactly the same as my cdc.. I have thrown away the scales so this is my only option.. and sometimes I can't be bothered to turn the thing on and so on so it has really helped me scale hopping every...

I love reading everybodys sigs too! I was a lurker here for a long long time and now I am posting as I want to get involved as this site has helped me sooo much and if my posts help one person who has just started like other peoples did when I started I would be soo happy! Lou

woohoo! well done congrats you are doing so well x

thanks for clearing that up KD ! phew !

its soo typical isn't it? but think next week you will have a lovely big loss! I know what you mean about the water sometimes I can go all day and then realise I haven't had even a glass of water all day..oops! but the water does really really help with losses so just try not to think about it...

I have hip bones and ribs when I stand up and not only when I lay down woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also if I am lying on my side with my knees together it can sometimes hurt as the bones are touching! haha ! love this diet ...loving the bones!!!!!!!

I have set my goal at 9 stone 12/13 as thats what I was when I done the diet a few years ago and maintained until I had my little girl. My first big goal though is to get to bmi 25 which is 11 stone for me.. so only another 4lb to go . eyeontheprize as you said you are tall so being 9 stone...

well done zarina 1 stone 3lb lost in 3 weeks! Absolutly brilliant! Doesn't it feel amazing to think that you have done 3 weeks on this diet! I think with CD you learn to love it .. I have . I didn't at first I felt jealous that all these people were eating and I wasn't , kind of like being left...

oops forgot about the hair part... when I get into the 10's I'm getting a fringe cut in.

well done on your loss ..24lb in 5 weeks is brilliant ! just think by the time your cdc gets back hopefully you'll have at least 2 stone off! Wow! Well done and heres to another great week ahead!

well done in finding the man of your dreams..I know how it feels to get really comfy with someone! good luck in the rest of your journey x

yes thats what I mean the lowest plan would be ss+ ..... so glad I haven't been able to eat anything as I knew this time I had to remove food from my diet then I don't have to think about it all the time like I was doing before!

It was defo on here that I read it.. I'm sure it was on cambridge 100% butterflys ... I know thats what I was thinking ... love this diet sooo much I have only got good words about it !

so far I have treating myself to some fakebake and lots of beauty/hair products ...but decided to start saving up until goal and have a good shop then ...not buying many clothes..whats the point when I know they're not going to fit in a month ! lol Woo hoo!

not what you hoped for but still a loss and not a gain..its all going in the right direction! You know why you haven't lost as much as you'd like so stay strong and next week you might have a really really good loss.. You have done really well so far ..keep it up x

I read somewhere (i'm sure it was on here) that CD is going to change and that there won't be a SS option you will have to eat with it because of guidelines . Apparently this was discussed a meeting recently.. can anyone give me any info if this is true or not? Personally I like the not eating...

I much much much prefer getting weighed in the morning...I normally weigh in at 5 on a wednesday and sometimes deprive myself all day of not a lot of water and no shakes as I don't want to weigh in more... eeekk thats bad!

I am doing this diet because I want to be able to buy clothes I like rather than clothes that fit I don't want to be the token fat one out of all my friends on a night out My son said my legs wobbled :0( (haha) I want to feel good and know that people around me are looking at me because I...

wow well done fab losses... shout it from the roof tops you have done brilliantly!

hi curley just wanted to say a big big well done. You was one of the first persons thread that I probably read when I thought about returning to cd. you really inspired me and nearly 11 weeks later nearly 4 stone down I cannot thank you enough. Good luck with the rest of your weight loss you...

mmm not sure really like them both but I think the second one is definatly got a bit of class about it and will show of your figure more.. plus if your still a bit concious of your legs then its that tiny bit longer.

I think you are right I think it is your body detoxing... my skin was really bad in the first few weeks of CD..however now its really cleared and everyone is saying I am glowing. My periods are up the wall though... Hoping they calm down for you soon. Lou

well done you congrats! great will power!

hi, just wanted to post as I felt I could really relate to a certain extent. I went out with my OH last night with a big group of friends and when we got home he was really upset... he started saying he didnt like me getting skinny as he doesn't like the extra attention I am getting and that I...

I have a lot of tetras to ...they are convenient and yum yum yummy! Good luck in your CD journey hun !

well done keep up the good work!

witchy I know what you mean about going out and everyone is drunk and your sober.... and especially when your sipping on water as well.. but I think I am just going to put my social life on hold for a good few weeks before I even think about going out lol ! I don't mind though.... I want to be...

hey how is everyone this gorgeous sunday afternoon? Felt really tired today.... had my bar and that made me feel better though.. Regarding totm my periods went up the wall a bit last time but it sooned settled down after a good few weeks into the diet. It shouldn't be anything to worry about...

hi hun, well done you for doing so well so far! I know what you mean about that 3rd pack.. during the week with my little boy at school and a baby to look after and work I never stop so normally have my first shake about 12 and then I have two left for the evening.. occasionally I havent been...

ah well done you ..thats amazing! It feels so great doesn't it! Your bf probably wont notice much if you see him alot ! mine hasn't really said much but the other night i was in the kitchen and he said ..you know what you really have lost weight! I was like oh thanks hahaha but I suppose out of...

hi girls , just sat here and read through all your posts..there was lots of them from today I must say ! Anything to help with the motivation hey! Can I please join you ? I am on week 3 and so far have lost 18lb. I did this diet before in 2006 and lost 4 stone and then last July I...
