Hiya! I started last Friday. Really looking forward to this weeks weigh in. When do you start? Good luck to you xxxx

Hi everyone! I was a member of this board several years ago now when I was on SS. I lost 7 stone in 6 months but put it back on and then some due to circumstance. My life has now completely changed. I am now Mum to a beautiful 1 year old girl called Layla-Mae. I am also marrying my gorgeous...

Just incredible. You look amazing and so much younger! Well done hun! xxxx

Thanks so much for all of the comments girls and guy ;) Means so much to me and makes me feel a million times better than I did before posting. Thank you again xxxx

Thanks ladies! At the moment I feel brilliant and am on target for my 9 stone by the time I see my Northern friends who a) haven't seen me since November and b) have no idea i'm losing weight hehe. Thank you aswell - it's nice to know I look smaller than I am xx

Hey guys. Long time no post. Finally have the courage to post some pictures up so here goes. My before pic here is actually a picture when I was a stone and a half lighter than when I started the diet in January this year. I am on the right in the lilac as a size 26. And here is my during...

It's also a fear of mine. I had a whopping 11 stone to lose and even though i'm 24 I don't think my skin is THAT elastic. I would love a tummy tuck after but can cost up to £4000 and there is no way I can make that. Just got to keep up with the tummy crunches. Boohoo x

My face and then hips. Unfortunately my arms are waiting at the back of the queue. Ick I hate my arms! x

Nobody is a failure for trying new diets. Personally for me I decided to stop Cambridge (first time around) because I was spending money but could not keep my head on it. I stopped and thought like you that I would go healthy eating and exercise. I tried Slim fast and that didn't work. I tried...

Don't worry hun. I had about 6 - 7 weeks of losing 4 and 5 pounds. Then slowed down for the last 4 weeks and on tuesday I lost 3 pounds but put on an inch around my waist. The human body is a bizarre thing but rest assured one week you will be rewarded and have an even bigger loss than usual xx

The praice is perfectly normal. Mine is always over £50 cos I have the tetra packs and bars. Plus i'm over 5 foot 8. Good luck with it and let us know how you get on xx

Welcome back and good luck x

A true inspiration! Well done Mandy x

Fantastic Ruth well done x

Well done hun! Feels great doesn't it! And your birthday will be all the better for wearing something slinky and people telling you how great you look! Well done xx

Hi everyone! Hope you're all ok and have had a lovely Easter! Well last time I did this diet I found it really hard and came to a stand still after losing 3 stone. Buuuuuut.. now after starting again I have gone and lost my 4 stone and dropped 4 sizes and 7 inches from my waist and feel sooooo...

I too laughed out loud - at the shelves comment :D

I didn't tell my mum when I restarted but I confided in my sister who let it slip to my mum. She understood my reasons and after 6 weeks doing it is very rpoud of me but in the beginning she was very anti CD for money and health reasons and also it bought my temper to the surface last time...

Great advice Grandma... smile is now on my face! Thanks ladies. Love you all x

Does anyone else have days where they can religiously drink their 8 or more pints and then days when they just forget and find it hard? Monday to friday at work I am fine. I have set times to drink my pints by and come 6 o clock I finish my 8th or 9th pint. On the weekends, however, sometimes I...

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Hope you're getting plenty of rest and drinking lots of water hehe x

Thanks hun. I do feel like I could scream into a pillow right now xx

You can get 'fibre 89' from your cambridge councellor. You put a teaspoon of this in your water every morning and night and that should sort you out :) xx

Good luck hun! I think a lot of people have needed a break from it all, I certainly did last year. Well done for coming back x

A very 'good luck' to you my lovely! Anytime you need a chat about anything - there is so much support in this place! How much do you have to lose btw? x

Really sorry to hear about this hun. There are some real scum on this planet. Hope everything gets sorted soon xx

Well I got up a bit earlier than usual today (even though I have a headache and am very tired) just so I could walk a bit further to work. Well I couldn't find my jacket cos someone hung it up in a different place so that took 10 minutes. I couldn't find my bag cos someone piled a load of...

Very well done hun! xx

I don't have a partner. Easy peasy :D

Too true Blue! Indeed a fresh start for us both! Good luck to you too! Photos to come in August! hehe. Sonke I've been away ageeeeees! Are you expecting? New fella? Whats going ooooooooon! If you are how fantastic and i'm very jealous! HUGE congratulations girl! (and more to the poin 61...

I have my choc tet at 8.30 am. Next choc tet at 2pm. Then my soup and bar at 7pm.. or a bar or soup at 7pm and a choc tet made into a hot chocolate at about 10pm before bed. xxxx

Well I don't know if any of you remember me, I was on these forums a year or so ago and although they helped me I was not in the right frame of mind. I stopped cambridge and tried weight watches and slim fast but was not happy with the slow pace so on the 2nd of January I started up on cambridge...

I cannot stand Seany! I usually dont take a strong early dislike to someone but his arrogance against the lovely Gerry in the diary room made my automatically dislike him. I shall miss Leslie too.. "No its ok sweetheart, i'm just smelling my mattress!" :D If he had taken my duvet I would...

"My mummy had to give me a bath this weekend" :D

Well around about now is the time when I wish I was slim more than any other time. Im carrying 10 more stone than I should be and its so uncomfortable in this hot sticky weather. I hate my arms and they will never be on display so I cant wear nice cami tops. Bla... thats how I feel. BLA! x

Well I was on a complete downer Saturday. My Boyfriend I wanted to go shopping and I didnt wanna leave my room. The reason? Feeling so uncomfortable at my size in the heat AND my psoriasis. My psoriasis has flared up on my face of all places because I have had stress this last week. Feel...

Aww Stacey don't you dare beat yourself up about it. I have been there and done that. You are one of my Favs on here. Youre very sweet and so so beautiful. Don't worry because we are all here for you. xxxx

Gimme 6 - 7 months :D

Noone then :cry:

Hey there everyone... (Just wrote this and it dissapeared - bugger!) Ive restarted again... but enough about that lol. Basically im a very arty person and spend time creating personal avatars and signatures for people. I dont have a good programme but i do the best with what I have. I was...

Big brother removed her because it was expected of them. They had no choice really though I cannot see it as Justice. I didn't like her because she was a snobby cow but if you go read Big Brother forums its all so mad! Starting petititions to get her out the country etc... She didn't say it as...

i am worried about myself! I found myself screaming at the tv last night. When they were doing the podian test. As soon as it went to attractiveness Charley leaped towards number 1. Then when the results were read out and she was put as most inconsiderate and thick.. and she sulked. I was like...

Good luck with your race. I'm racing the swindon one on the 17th x

Uncanny isn't it...

Well I like it so far too. I have a few bets I wanna make though. The person on Friday is a bloke and He will be very handsome. He will not face the public vote. The weekly task will be for the girls to get chosen by him. They will have all week to woo him and be selected as his favourite girl...

This is apparently what I shall look like.... The face is the spitting image of mine too! :D

Thank you so much hun.. its a great help! xx

Omg Cluckers take care of yourself! Yes definately look after yourself first and dont worry abou tthe diet x

Hello all.. I bet you havent even noticed I havent been on these forums! Shame on you all :D Well the Rooster is back. I took a break from the forums because I couldnt get going on the diet again and seeing everyones success was making me feel so upset and tearful and I told myself I wouldnt...

CONGRATULATIONS! Im so jealous! x

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! *Keeps chanting*

Add more mousse. I go through lots of pots just so I can make sure its set. Try 3 and a half scoops to every pint x

Congratulations on becoming a grandma! xx

Lol... my boyfriend and I just looked at eachother over the "button" incident... Our conversation went a little like this: "Would you like me to run a bath for you babe?" "naaa" "Thank **** for that!" PRESS THE BLOODY BUTTON WOMAN! :D :D :D :D

Did anyone else watch this last night? Was very impressed with the millionnaires lady.. very down to earth. Anyone else want to punch that stupid enviromental man and woman? What a couple of fruitcakes! Am really going to miss it lol x

That was BB5 Sonke. My Fav was BB3 with Jonny and Alex :D

Can you have these on SS? x

I'm in! x

Do you love it when you fart when swimming so the bubbles go up your costume? :eek: :D

:D All is good now. Maybe you and I can PM eachother and help eachother along xxxx

LOL very good. Well mine is really embarrassing. Ive had the usual trip up the steps in the waiting room and walking through the door to the waiting room, cool as a cucumber and getting my cardigan caught on the door so i get yanked back but my two most memorable were these - My collegue was...

PMSL!!!! Sounds like a few bridget Jones moments there :D

I understand where youre coming from. I saw a progamme on BBW, and the place is filled with men that dont like it any other way. I remember there was a 60 stone lady (very young) from the USA and a guy from England had fallen inlove with her. She couldnt climb stairs, she had an electric bed...

To answer your question about why I don't like being called FAT, then its because I have never had a positive comment said to me that contained the word FAT. The only things said to me with the word FAT in it have been those from disgraceful people and bullies who shout "FAT *****" and "HEY...

Don't really like the way you're posting. Feel very spoken down to and made to feel ashamed. Youre telling us something we already know. I had some food at a wedding as a treat and didnt realise how difficult it would be to let go of again. I then had some dinner for my birthday and the same...

28th July this year! xx

You look great! You have pins to die for! x

Well today is my first day back on the diet and I want to be 17 stone by my holiday! However cos i have drifted away from the diet for so long now... I have gained quite a bit. I hope It wont take long to lose again HOWEVER... I am still in the trousers I wore when I was 18stone 12. They are SO...

She went! I liked Katie in the begginning but now she irritates me. I don't think any of them deserve it. None of them would work for me because they are backstabbing jerks and ***** and whine all the time. I doubt even Lidl would employ them! x

Wonderful story! Well done! xx

Check this out then Janey... This is my baby asleep on me.. xx

I love it tooooooooooooooo! Yey im not the only one! "Button it madam!" Did anyone see the one where the woman loved jesus and her god more than her daughter and thought her daughter was the devil. She said her daughter will burn in hell, end up a prostitute with AIDS x

Can I do this? :(

What was the show about this morning? x

Im a huge fan of this guy as he actually does something useful on his shoes. He deals with issues unlike Trisha who always talks about herself and just fannys about. Please tell me there are other fans out there. I use to record his shows until my tape player broke. Now I can only see him on...

Brave Lady. Anyone says that to me especially after hours of pain, they will go down like a large bag of King Edwards! xx I have Psoriasis too... which has gotten better since losing weight :D

You can make your own Jelly with the ingredients that are allowed. I'll try and find the thread xx

The most important thing is to feel good about yourself and believe me that will come. What a prick! Can't wait for you to wipe the smirk off his face. I bet he ends up fancying the pants off of you and please sell me the first ticket for the show when you tell him to sling his arrogant ugly...

Through personal experience my CDC has never denied me anything apart from the cranberry bars when they were all sold out. CDC can get in as much stock as they want but in my opinion i would go somewhere where they have more varieties and more in stock because its hard enough on this diet...

No no cos its just like drinking water with the flavouring in it. Completely free at all times x

This little tub is my saviour. I make Jelly with it. Next time you see your CDC get some flavouring. I recommend the summer berry. You can eat a pint of jelly and its like drinking a pint of water hence why I make like 4 pints of jelly a day hehe. Basically you get a bowl and put in a pint of...

Lol... he's a mini dutch Lop.. the best kind! You can't beat those floppy ears! Thanks for the words Mini xx

I never experienced nausea but I do remember everything looking tasty.. even the pigeons outside :D It WILL pass. Took me 2 weeks to really get into it. Giving up the food you love is just as hard as giving up any addiction, maybe harder because food is there at almost every social event...

A rescue centre in Berkshire called: DIANA BRIMBLECOMBE ANIMAL RESCUE CENTRE He he xxxx

Well seeing as I haven't lost any weight in weeks now cos i've been stupid, and i lost out on my dog yesterday, and the doctors are worried about my migraines, my grandma is dying and lots of other crap is happening... im feeling pretty rubbish at the moment. So tomorrow my boyfriend is taking...

10 - 12 EASILY!! :D

28th July and i'm going to Guernsey :D Ok will do. Woke up late this morning. 10 pints seems like alot now lol xx Think im going to make 6 pints of the jelly hehe x

Well since you all started the 28 day challenge and are well into it i'm going to do my own challenge because I am seriously finding everything hard and a non starter. So I shall wake in the morning, look in the mirror.. stick to my 4 packs and have 10 pints of water a day. Exercise every night...

Thank you all ... where would I be without you xx :thankyou::grouphugg:

I got an email back and he has a home to go to already :cry:

I'm on a mission to get my dog back! Wish me luck :D

Everyone thinks its making me ill and my sister is uncomfotable but at the end of the day its up to me to prove people wrong x

Well I think you all know how much I love German Shepherds. We use to have one as a family and he was my baby. My best buddy. When I was there through my parents split, i was the shoulder to cry on for my mum and dad... and Troy, my baby was mine. I looked after him and loved him more than...

Firstly well done for taking the first steps and really good luck with it! Everyone here is great and you will get lots of support.. BUT... I think anyone here will tell you not to get the stuff off ebay in future, always best to get it first hand from your CDC. XXXX

Is it a tetra? xx

Here is my nightly regime: 60 minutes of workout including: squats lunges jogging skipping star jumps martial art kicking and punching Arm toning exercises and then I do another 20 on the floor of tummy and legs toning exercises. I'd like to go swimming too but dont want to do too much. Your...

I cancelled a trip to Amsterdam because I couldnt handle watching my boyfriend eating their yummy food. We had paid for the tickets aswell :(

I'm the same as some here, Really don't like the packed milkshakes (which is a shame because I love butterscotch angel delight and was hoping it would be the same hehe). I have the tets all the time. Banana for breakfast and a chocolate one made into a hot chocolate at night before bed. Yum. xxxx

Good Luck! You'll do great! xxxx

Good luck with this! xxxx

I am going to get measured just before my holiday, too embarrassed before then. I want to get a sports bra for my working out though. Well done for finding the courage! xx

I would recommend getting the fitness with Cambridge from your CDC. It shows what you can do exercise wise from light to intense all whilst having the calories you are on. I make up my own routine every night in my living room to a mixed CD, never do more than I can cope with and drink lots of...

My CDC charges me the same for all packs and she is very good and dedicated to helping me. Couldn't ask for me. I wouldn't change her even if she put the prices up because trust in a person and feeling like the person cares means more to me xx

Yeah give us the link Hun because size 18 is my next stage to get to and I wanna look sexay. xx

Well personally it sometimes has to do with the amount of weight you have to lose. This is just how i feel. No dissrespect to anyone out there but my friend had 2 stone to lose and didnt cheat, my boss 4 stone... I have 10 stone to lose and went off the wagon at christmas. If I had 4 stone to...

You have done so well and look amazing xx

Welcome to the forums and good luck! xxxx

You do speak wise words my dear... Hope the pizza wasn't hawian.. thats just wrong hehe :D

I know its not the most important thing but is the money any good? When I live with my boyfriend I would need to bring in around 20,000 per annum. Would I make anything near that? xxxx

Good lady... now when is this wedding of yours? xx

Oh Jazz im 100% with you there! I use to nurse aswell before hurting my knee. The old men were the worse by far! and i had the "big strong girl" one so many times. I got very offended and don't think im wrong by doing so. Sometimes the staff use to hurt aswell... "Oh don't worry Sheila, Alex is...

Happy birthday! Hope you get spoil rotten! xxxx

I use to hate clothes shopping with my girl pals big time. They would all want to go shop in Oasis and top shop ... you know ... the sort of shops that scream out "We go up to a size 16.. and who says we don't cater for all!"... and other girls would look at me as if to say "what are you doing...

OMG what part of your husband? :eek: I like uniforms that I can get myself! Sleeveless! NO NO NO! xx

If mine havent set by the time I get home... I shall scweam and scweam and cwy and stamp! (and then put them in the freezer!) :D

Well I had it for about 2 years and the weight gain was 3 stone in that time. My mood swings were terrible but didn't get any bleeding what so ever. A month and a half ago I was due for my jab and then thought to myself whether or not my hormones and anger would benefit from not having the jab...

Oh goodness how appaulling. I bet the beautiful baby made things better though :) When I went for my depo jab in January the Doctor said my BMI was too big, not enough depo for my body. Both her and the Nurse tried to talk me out of the CD. Twits. Doctors may have more medical experience...

Then I recommend Vegemite! Its the same but easier on the palate :D Ah man... Hot toast.. butter... marmite! NO!! BAD ROOSTER! :D

Well done.. you should be pleased with yourself! Good luck for the coming week xxxx

Thats so awful! Sorry you had to go through that xx And I agree... its the skinny people who stand there and say "oh im so fat" in front of you... maybe we should give them something to complain about and give them a fat lip! x

D_Q Have you managed all of your goals yet? Sorry If i'm being nosey xx

Good luck hun! Everyone is here to help uyou when you need it xxxx

OMG! :eek: I would need to cut off a limb to lose that! (Unfortunately I need all of mine :( ) :D

Til I can have my rabbit! I've always been bought up with pets.. mainly rabbits and hamsters... but now im on my own (my boyfriend lives away).. i'd love one for cuddles and to keep me company and also to look after. He said I can have one after our holiday! woohoo! xxxx

I love German Shepherds. I use to have one and I miss him dearly. My boyfriend says I can have one when we buy our house. I can't wait. Please let me know of you have any more puppies xxxx

I am going to Guernsey on the 28th July with my Boyfriend. We have been together 3 years and this is our first holiday together. Im so excited. Yey! xxxx

I always agree with exercising, not only as part of a diet but to generally make life easier. However... my CDC says I shouldnt do as much as I am because I will make myself hungry and more importantly I am not having enough calories to burn off. I tend to go home from work and do 40 minutes...

Good choice! 790 is a good Idea... and may I recommend my Jelly thread for dessert :D http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/14769-jelly.html Good luck and I'll make you a nice birthday picture on the day xxxx

Shouldnt a normal girl be craving crisps, chocolate, cheese and cookies? Not me.... I want a cheese and pickle sandwich, Peas and gravy and a big portion of salmon en crut! eh yeh yeh! xxxx

Where are you from Jacey, there may be some people on here who can recommend their councellor. xxxx

The same as the other packs. You would include them as your 3 or 4 packs a day. Each pack is £1.55 xx

Why are you embarrassed now? xxxx

13lb but that was after a huge gain. Other than that... 11.5lb drinking average 8 pints a day xx

Ah ok thank you :D

I have been reading your blog Stacey and I gotta say what a couple of terrible days in May so far. Hope things are working out but youve done so well considering how food comforts us. Maybe we could have a chat on msn sometime if you like. Ill give you my msn if you want xx Well done for...

How come some of you lovely people have huge long signitures and i'm only allowed what I have here... 500 characters :mad: xxxx

Well at the end of the day it is completely up to you but id like to offer you my experience. All was going well for me before christmas and then i had 2 weeks off (only planning 1 day) because I started and couldnt stop. I put on a stone in those 2 weeks. I did lose 13 pounds the next week...

Don't give up... please! Just think of why you are doing this. There must be something which made you make the call. We are all here for you! You're gonna look so bloody amazing when we're done with you :D xxxx

I just wanted to start a discussion on the most embarrassing moments when it comes to weight. I thought maybe talking about these things will remind us all of why we are doing this incredible diet. I'll start with a couple. When my college class went on trip to a disability shop, the lady...

Higher in calories for sure about 30 cal difference but it will not make a difference to your weight loss as long as you stick to 1 a day. I recommend the Toffee... after 2 weeks its heaven... and its just like a big curly wurly! If it affected your weight loss they wouldnt let you have...

Really well done.. you must feel like a million dollars! xxxx

"Inside of me there is a skinny person SCREAMING to get out! ... but I can usually shut the ***** up with cookies!" :D :D :D :D

Aww that sucks. Sorry to hear that but just think of the weight loss next week! I find the more water I drink the more i lose. It sounds strange but try some exercise... that will shift it :) xxxx

GOOD LUCK! you will really suprise yourself and there may even be lots of emotion! You go girl! xxxx :D

I feel the same way.. On most diets you feel like ow yes i'm going to be slim... and then lose a stone... and put it back on... but with this diet its like you are ACTUALLY going to be slim..... and all of a sudden its like OMG! PANIC! xxxx

Well as I started to put some weight back on I decided not to let myself have any bars again til I got back where I was at 18stone 12. So what to nibble on? Well I managed to make myself some Jelly and It is delicious! For those who don't know how to make it... Get a Pint of water (very cold)...

Really well done for the weight loss xxxx

Well I woke up this monring and something clicked in my head. Now I have the determination back which i have been desperate for. Ive bought all my 790 products into work for my collegues because I CAN do SS! Woohoo! Thank you everyone! x

Very well done.. I was pleased to get to Obese from heavily obese :D You must be really chuffed and rightfully so xxxx

Ok weird subject I know but I have lost weight... though stayed inthe same bras. I havent been measured properly for years and years but am too embarrassed to go get it down. I really think im in the wrong bra. Anyone else?

What a wonderful place.. thank you all so much xxxx

I know but it is so hard. I started so well and I just cant seem to do it.. even with doing the 790 for a few weeks to help :(

I am in complete denial at the moment and am finding it so very difficult to get my butt back into gear. The days are passing by and im so desperate to lose this weight. Its so daunting having 7 stone more to lose. Please help.. I just dont think I can do it at the moment :( :wave_cry:

Thank you for the advice. Well I got weighed yesterday. Didn't have a brilliant week but did so much exercise and lost 6 and a half pounds. Really chuffed. I'm doing the 790 plan for 2 weeks to get me back into it. Irene its so nice to know there is someone else feeling the same x

My names Alex and I have only just joined this site. My councellor pointed me in this direction because I am really struggling at the moment. When I started I wanted to lose 9 and a half stone. I managed to do my 3 and a half and then started going up and down. I started eating and then crying...
