Hello! I would love to join the challenge too! My friend gets married mid April - and I want to be wearing a size 16 dress as a minimum to her wedding! I think this is a fab idea Natasha! A proper goal for us all :-) Bethan xxx

hello! Sorry you are having a tough day.... Every day you stick to it, you are closer to your goal! If you eat now, then you will have to go through the whole horrible start again!! Hope you manage to last the night! My day has been good - but tomorrow might be a different story :-)

Debbie - how was dancing? I hope you didn't feel too dizzy!!! X

Whoop whoop! Well done! I hope you have a big smile on your face! Xx

Brilliant - just what I needed! I think it has just stopped me reaching for something I shouldn't! :-) Thank you xx

Hello Chuckles!! I too have managed to loose 4.5 stone in 2009 and now back and have 6.5 stone to loose....... I was also gutted that I ended up heavier than when I started! I wish you all the best for giving up smoking and loosing the weight - I am sure you will do it! I am on the team...

Your tastes may change during the time you spend on CD! I used to love the porridge - but then went totally off it! Get what you fancy and try as much as you can! Xx

Good morning everyone! What a windy day here! I am going to keep myself busy today so I don't slip off the plan! Jenni good luck for you WI! I always retain water around the time of the month! Debbie - good luck for day 4! I hope you are in ketosis today so you don't feel hungry! Welcome...

Ha ha! Imagine if you locked yourself out as well! The first few weeks - I will hold my hands up and say that I would weigh myself everyday! Then as the weight loss slows, I would try to weight myself every two to three days, as that way I would see a loss! I also used to weigh myself after I...

good morning!!! Day three! Well done for getting there! Glad you can feel your hard work in your clothes :-) Xx

First day for me as well ;-)

Oh I had better introduce myself! I am Bethan, aged 36 and live in Derby! I manage Customer Services for a large supply chain contract, and I do a fair bit of travelling! I live on my own and I am single. Part of the reason I am re-doing this diet is to feel comfortable in my own skin again! I...

Good morning All! Well done for the weight loss Danielle and MyYear! That is a fab start :-) Kirsten - welcome to the team! Ladies - thank you for your introductions, and twisted you made me giggle (thin woman, but u have eaten her!!) I had a bit a *whoops* moment last night, I won't share...

Looking back at the 'rules' it does say limited to a number of 6 - but I think that is when they did competitions for the team with the largest group loss each week! So, I am hoping it doesn't apply now!

I was thinking we ought to list who is on here! I apologise in advance if I miss anyone off, it is not intentional! Just add yourself to the list! Debkat DanielleOD Twistedwoman LadyB NatashaGabrielle Flower LovelyLozzo MyYear I didn't hear about the 6 to a team rule before (we had lots on my...

DebKat- are you the group leader? If not, would you like to be? I think we are all new to this group apart from you! I guess we could start a new thread...... And we could then start by introducing ourselves! We can do it together!!

Hello Flower! Good luck for tomorrow! I started today! X

Looks like we have lots of people now! Yipppeeeee! Natasha - I am also a returner! :-) Twisted - not bring hungry is great! I am just off for my first soup of the day...... :-)

Hello Ladies! I am back to! And trying to see this as a positive step........ Especially as I am still not smoking! Yippppeeee! I love this diet and it changed my life the first time - just gotta get through it again! Zoe - you are a total inspiration! :-) 2 years - Gish how the times flies! Xxxx

Hi Victoria! I am on my first day too...... I try to just drink water and aim for day 4 when it all seems much easier! Good luck xxx

Hi Danielle! Welcome to the group!!! I am hoping we have plugged the group enough to attract enough people! The more the better the support :-) and the more inspiration and motivation to keep going! Xx

Good luck for day 2 debkat! I am right behind you as it is day 1 for me! I will be happy when I get to the end of day 3 as I find it much easier when I am in ketosis!

I hate pictures too! I have plenty from last time! I just want to loose the first 4 stone like NOW (the next 2 stone I can wait a bit for!!) As I really want to start dating again, but I need to be confident with body first.... .... Xx

Hellloooooo! I finished in Sept 09, and kept it off for a year and half! I was in a group (Butterflies) with Witchy and ZoeD - and others! Zoe has done great, she has been in a few magazines and still kept the weight off! I am friends with her and a few others from the Butterflies on...

Hello!! I would like to join this group if that is ok? My weigh in is a Wednesday and I plan to start SS plus milk tomorrow! Xxx

Yes I have the app too! Found it when I went to log on this time! I was part of the butterflies group last time, and I was amazing support! Xx

Hi Betty! I am starting tomorrow and back again to! Life doesn't always work out how you want it to! Debkat - well done on day two! My fingers are crossed for you tomorrow! I may just join that group for support xxx

Hello ladies! Sorry about your Dad! Comfort eating is really easy to do! We all have goals! Let's do it this time xxx

hello Danielle! I am also back! I did this diet in 2009 and lost all my weight and felt fabulous! I managed to keep most of it off for a year and a half..... Then stopped smoking, and went through a bad relationship break up! I happy to say that I am still not smoking, and I didn't replace...

I just find that I am much more tired on this diet (well to start off with) and I love nothing more than a nap in bed! Lou - I hadn't thought of that as a coping strategy. Great idea. Bxx

Ohhhh Spain hey - lovely! I have about 4 stone (ish) to do - but have a two planned meals out next week, but that is it! I think we will be on this forum for a while together x

Are either of you in a CD Team or Group - I was in one before, and it really helped..... It was called the Butterflies as it was about our transformation xx

Gem - I have 4 stone (ish) to do to - so we should finish around the same time......... depending on if I stick to it. I love weddings - glad you had a great time. Rumbly gallstones does not sound good.............

Helsy - I think the diet gets easier week by week............. thank goodness Roll on the end........... ha ha! But I will be very happy at week three too xx

Helsy - we are only a day apart Yippeee. Roll on Saturday for me. I will also look forward to week three then - is there a reason that you are looking forward to that? I remember around week 5 my cravings became much less.... and I am looking forward to that again. Gem - you will sleep well...

Hello BlueEyes, I have about the same to loose and I started today too. I lost 4 stone in 16 weeks last time.......... but I did follow it to the letter, and did not cheat. I decided every time I cheated, I added a week extra to my diet............... You should loose the first 2 stone...

Hello All, When I finished first time - I put on about 8lbs over the weeks as I was building back up to eating normally. The thing that kept me going was that I could still fit into all my new clothes.............. so I knew I actually hadn't put on fat - just water weight. If you can...

Hello! I am on day 1............. can't wait to be on day 4, which will be Friday! yay! How come you had so little sleep last night? I love to sleep on this diet. Bx

Helsy - how much have you got to loose? x

I am day one day 1 Helsy..... I remember that after day 3 it gets much easier.....

Hello WitchyPoo!!! I am also back :-( we can do it together................ I stopped smoking (yay for me!!) and been through a relationship break up................ and turned back to comfort eating! I kept the weight off for 2 years too booo hoo! But looking forward is what we can...

Helloooooooooo beautiful ladies!!! How are you all!! Zoe - you look amazing!!!! People used to tell me not to loose any more too.......... just focus on what you want!! Nearly 9 stone hey - that is such an amazing achievement!! Hello to everyone else too, as you are all doing so well -...

Hi Ladies!!! How are you all???? You are all doing so well.................. I am just back from holiday - it felt strange feeling ok in a bikini!! ha ha! And I am nice and brown......... although the holiday wasn't that great - long boring story! I also think I am about to get dumped by...

Hi Ladies!!! This is just a short catch up to say hello!!!!!!! I am fine and dandy - and thank you all so much for your posts, emails and texts!!!!! I have just been so busy, I have been away with work and travelling miles and miles, I became an auntie twice last week (neice on Friday, and...

Broxi - your losses will come, and I am praying for the scales to move this week for you!! I think I can wear most things now, especially as I don't have to wear things to cover up. To be honest everything I try on, I think - yes- that looks ok. However - there are still some outfits that make...

I have the same feeling about certain shops - I will not ever shop at topshop as they are discriminating against people over a 16!!! They are horrible!! Congratulations on the size 14 - I hope you are sat there in your new jean with a big grin on your face!!! You can't that much longer to go...

Zoe - 3lbs is still an amazing loss........... it may slow a little as you get closer to your goal, but 3 lbs hun - you have done sooooooo well. I like the idea of your tatoo and the butterfly - how lovely would that be. I am also thinking about buying myself something to remember everything we...

Claira - I LOVE your daily report!!! Great idea! Although I am not sure where the troll bit came from..... as you are so not a troll!! XXXX

Louie - 3lbs!!! Wow that is great, that is nothing at all. You will loose that in the first few days off ss. I can't wait to see your photos. Congratulations on staying focussed on your holiday! Claira - thanks babe!! I am trying my best to be proud!!! I am surprised the toilet didn't block up...

Broxi - I meant to say, that I don't judge people on what they look like either. I don't think 'oh she has put on a few pounds' I am more interested in their life and how they are feeling. Yet, I still hide from people - and I am doing still when I am thin!!! I also would say that I am a very...

Good morning Broxi! Confident - well I guess I am, as I put myself on the dating site, for the first time with full length photos. However, I am finding this weight loss thing really hard as I still think I am fat. This may not make any sense to anyone - but I do understand that I have lost 4...

Good evening ladies - or should I say morning??? Louie - welcome back hunny! I thought you had gone, it is soooooooooooo good to have you back!!! Sounds like you had a fab holiday and were sensible too............ well done! I can't wait to see the pictures!!! Contrary - welcome back too - I...

I am back............... gosh this will be a long post

Hi Crimson I must have missed your orginal post on here. I juat want to say - thank you so much for sharing how you felt with us all. I too felt very low when I started my CD journey - I knew I needed to change my weight so I could live my life (if that makes sense!!!!) CD is one of the...

Hi Mummyofthreegirls! I am really sorry - but I can't help you here!!!! But I thought I would let you know!!! I did look into LighterLife before I started this diet - and I know some people have to go private to get the form signed off. I am sorry that your Doctor wasn't alot of help - you...

Hello Ladies!!! Zoe - I think when you hit the 6 stone you should so an inspiration post!!! You have done sooooooo well!!! You have stuck to it all the way through. Your posts are fab on here and you keep us all anchored to our goals!! Claira - I really want to come and do the course with...

Oh CONGRATULATIONS babe! Wow - I can't think of a better reason to give up!!!!! That is such fab news!!!!! I hope you will keep us posted when the baby arrives (I would love to see pictures!!) You have done so well on CD too - I am really happy for you!!!! Bethan xxxxxx

Hi Claira - I have missed my WI tonight - and hence missed putting my application form in. I just have been so flat out, that I needed to use the time to work.......... and I am TOTM so I doubt I would have lost this week anyway. It would be great to come to Corby on the 14th but my CDC wants...

Claira - sorry you had a tough time with Matt's ex the other night. I think what Broxi said is right - and I also think she is only jealous of you!!!! You have Matt - don't ever forget that!!! I guess it is sad really that she is still hurting after so much time has past - and she sounds like...

Hi ladies, Sorry I have not been around much this week - I have been mad busy with work (Liverpool - and London). I am just catching up on posts - and the big news is - I have a DATE tomorrow night!! heeeee haaaa. I also have another one next week with someone else!!!! Zoe - that outfit is...

Claira - that sounds like a plan to me. I am putting in my papers this week - which I now understand from you that this is only the start of the process!! ha ha. Maybe you should try 810 for a week - it won't do any harm, but will hopefully keep you on plan!!!

to be fair Claira - you can almost have that on the 1000 plan!! Are you doing 810 or ss+ at the moment??? I am having good losses on the 810........... and it is good to eat every day! Enjoy xx

Hi Kerry, Well I am on 810 now. It is funny because as I go towards a bmi of 25 I felt like I needed more calories! To the point where I felt like I did when I started ss.............. as soon as I went up to 810 I felt much better!! I seem ok on 810 for the moment, but when my body starts...

KerryBerry - you have done really well too! It looks like we will be moving up to the 1000 diet together soon!!! Kate F - I noticed that in week 6 my loss had slowed down. So I did a test in week 7 and didn't have one bar (which was a killer) and the results spoke for themselves!! I doubles my...

BlingBabe - I am not a 'real' lady!!!! It is my nickname given to me by my friends - as they thought I was a Lady!!! However I am not sure they would say the same now!! ha ha! DameBling sounds good!! Tracey - I am sure you will get to your target earlier if you remain focussed! You will also...

Hello ladies! I am sat in a hotel room, and I am little bit bored!!! I am also tired, so I might get into bed in a moment! Zoe - 3lbs is still amazing!!!! Just imagine 3lbs of fat - and now it isn't there!! whoop whoop. Ladies - thank you so much for your all your lovely comments on my new...

Don't worry - it took me a while and some help too! You need to put in your height in inches only. This is under 'user CP' which is top left in the blue, and then 'edit my details'. I don't think you can add a profile picture until you have posted 50 time - this is in the same place - user CP...

Jim - I am having a hungry day too!! It is horrible isn't it!!!!!!!!! I doubt very much it was what you ate - as you did so well at the BBQ. I guess sometimes we just have the horrible hungry days - I have a bar a day for the last two days, so I am blaming that!!! ha ha! I hope that tomorrow...

heeee heeee - it says under your join date on your post!!! You are more than half way!!! Well done on the 9lbs!

I am chatty too - and looks like you are already half way there!! Whoop whoop!

Thanks Zoe - that is a lovely thing to say. However I don't seem to have men at my feet - but the great news is 'I am ready to start dating again'. I am looking forward to going out on dates........... I think you should become a CDC - you have done so well on this diet - you are a true...

Alex - you will succeed! You really will - this diet is life changing! I think you need to post 50 times before you can see my photos - so keep posting, it doesn't take long to get there!

Thanks Lunar Jim!!! I am not the only one who has done well on this diet though - well done to you too!!!!! I seem to have lost the ability to say thanks in posts now - sorry Lunar Jim and Enlightenme................

Hi Enlightenme!!! When I decided to do this diet, I knew that if I focussed I would be done in 3 months. I decided that 3 months out of my entire life is not much, and thought it was a fair price to be thin!!!! There were a few things that decided to eat on, mainly because it would be too...

Cankles - Keep posting, and you will be able to everything very soon! Welcome to the forum - the people here have supported me all the way, and I couldn't have done it without everyone! Paris - well done on finishing your first week!!!! It is hard, but your cravings will go soon too - then it...

Thanks Ladies!!! I just feel so much better about myself....... so much happier!!! I had to get my friend round to take the photos!

Evening Zoe!! Nice to hear from you!!! How is Meg at nursery??? Fingers crossed for tomorrow hun - I can't wait to hear how you get on!!!! You are great at this diet - maybe you should become a CDC too?? Clare and Barbara - how are you both?? Not heard from either of you for a while...

Claira - get you in the small sizes!!!! I hope that brought a smile to your face!!!!! My wrap was £46 - I am thinking of having another soon!!! Night Claire - sleep tight

Broxi - I think all you will have gained is your glycogen store - you know that first bit you loose when you start CD. I am sure in the long term you will be eating your fat away again...... don't worry hun - it will come off. My body will do the same when I step up to the 1000 + plan!!! (have...

Hello All, I thought I would just let you know that I have lost a total of 4 stone and half a pound in 16 weeks. This diet is hard - but it does work, and it is life changing!!! I have also had to buy a whole new wardrobe!!! ha ha. I am mainly writing this, as I read a post just before I...

Ladies - I have added some more photos of me at 4 stone gone!! I will do a post in the main forum! Take a look. Will be back in a min x

Asa - the dress sizes will drop fast now!!! Those trousers need to be ready for you to wear them, as you will be out of them as soon as you are in them!!! Then shopping will be much more fun, and you won't be able to buy everything you want!!! Where is everyone else today? Zoe - not heard from...

Asa - 4lbs down! Way to go hun!!! And your bmi is under 30 - wow wow wow. I remember when I got there, and I was sooooooooo excited!! I have a feeling that the pounds will fall off now!!! whoop whoop. Before you know it you will be hitting a bmi of 25. It look me 8 weeks to get to a bmi of 25...

oh my wrap is called 'universal contourwrap' and they say you will loose 6 inches and keep it off for 30days, otherwise they will give you a free wrap if you don't keep it off for 30 days

Asa - I can do any of those dates............. Claire - sorry to hear you are blocked again :-( MsJMC - how are you today? Broxi - I will never ever think that I am stuck with you! ha ha! So what is on the menu tomorrow? Well I have been for my body wrap - and it was fantasic!!! I lost 10...

God bless and sleep tight as well. I hope you feel much happier tomorrow babe x

ha ha - too true. I am hoping to do the same as CurlyWurly, 5 stone 5 months....... Although I am not sure I want to loose 5 stone yet! Right I must get some pictures done tomorrow - but now I am off to bed! Claira and Contrary - I am filling out my CDC form this week!!! Night ladies

Claire - hasn't someone got skinny ikkle legs!!! heeeee haaaaa haaa. Wow - I can't believe how skinny your legs are!!! (and your boobs look fab too!!) I like 3 2 1 in that order. I have a feeling that the camera has flashed on 2&3 so isn't giving true picture of how you actually look in the...

Sorry I did mean I looked at Diet Chef and thought it looked amazing - and cheap!!!!! Mind you, any food after this diet looks amazing! ha ha! It is good to know you will still be getting everything your body needs in terms of vitamins etc. Are you on facebook babe? I just don't want to loose...

I started to see the results after a couple of weeks as my skin around my bum and thighs looked smoother!! I can't wait to hear how you all get on with it too!!! I did it this morning, as I must remember to keep doing it now I have sung its praises!!!ha ha!

Thanks Claira!! I am about to have a look at your pictures!! I am off for my birthday present tomorrow, a body wrap followed by a facial followed by a file and polish

Broxi - that is another reason for you to stay, as it won't be long before I am going up the plans now, and eating like you will be on your new diet!

Guess what ladies - I lost 4lbs this week, which means I have reached my orginal goal!!!! Whoop Whoop!!! I have lost 4 STONE and HALF A POUND. I will leave my ticker as it is for this week, but extend it next week to another 10lbs. I am happy!!

Angel Broxi, Thank you for being honest with us, and real to yourself. If CD isn'y working for you, and making you feel down - then it is not right for you. Getting rid of weight in a really hard and tough way is one thing, but if you are feeling down and the diet is making you that way - then...

Hi Laura, Sorry I don't know the technical bits behind why this works - I just know it does!!! ZoBo on page 1 of this post also said to do it after a shower as your pours are open................ I have always been told to do it after a shower. To be fair, as long as you do it on a...

Contrary - You will look amazing in a bikini after your weight loss journey!!! lol. Boobs or no boobs - your tummy, arms, hips, bum and thighs will be things that other women envy!!! How amazing is that. I also bet women will refer to you as 'that slim lady over there'. Heeeee haaaa - how...

Broxi - I have been thinking about your much earlier post about being obsessed by food. I think that I am also obsessed by food, and I have to focus on what I will eat when I am allowed to do so......... (I pour over the receipies in the CD book ha ha) However, I have learnt to obsess about...

Have a fantasic time babe!!! Go knock em out in your bikini!!! ha ha!

Right - I am most proud if week 8 to 11 a total of 13lbs lost! As that is after I had two full weekends off the diet (two weddings, a ball and a holiday). It was so so so so so so hard to get back on the diet, and I sticked to ss without having any bars!!! So I guess my best is 13lbs in 3...

Hi babe!!!!! I just need to post to look at my weekly losses on my signature. Bx

naaaaa I don't really believe it - I knew logically that this diet does work - but I feel like emtionally I am still trying to catch up!!! ha ha! Everyone I know is commenting on my weight now. I am out of clothes and hope my debenhams card clears the payment I made, so I can go shopping...

Claira - you look like you have fantasic boobs!!! heee haaa! But I do understand how you feel about them!!!

Contrary - your post rang so true for me!!! My life will no long be on hold either!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us all. Oh and way to go with the bikini!! I hope that when you put it on in Italy you will have a big smile on your face, as you deserve to be smiling about where you...

Broxi - I have more like 18lbs to go!!!! Check out the bit below my picture.......... 4 stone is my next target!!! I still need to get into those diesel jeans I brought! ha ha!

Broxi - I don't ever believe I will get to my target either!! So I make mini targets in my head. The next one is 4stone total loss - then I will add another 7lbs onto my ticker, and hence my next target is 4.5stone loss!!! Does that make sense? My mental state is certainly running to try and...

Good evening ladies!!! Claira - don't worry about your slip up - just stay focussed - you will get there!! Broxi - how are you chick??? You are doing so well by getting back on ss!!! XX

Blingbabe!! Sorry I must have posted at the same as you!! I use long sweeping strokes (not scrubbing) from my knees up to my hips. For your legs always brush up in a sweeping motion!! You can brush the same area more than once......... Does this make sense? Bethan x

Hello Everyone!!! I am so glad that some of you are trying this as a regular routine!!! Looby - you have the same brush as me!! Right you must always brush to your heart........... I do it after a shower and before I put creams on my body!! Start with the soles of your feet then brush up...

Claira - I think it was about £500 for both. I had it done at a skin clinic when I worked in Birmingham. I think you can have more done for your money now.......... they always seems to do offers in January! They seem to have the rest lasers and my friend had hers done in Leicester and it...

KD - thanks for clarifying this!!! For me, I care more about the loss than anything!! ha ha Hopefully when I have done my training I will understand much more about it all!!

ha ha!!! Well I don't think we will get you painting your nails!!! ha ha. Yes dry body brushing really works - and the rewards are well worth it!! Make sure you buy a good quality brush! I started this post, as I know so many people are worried about their skin - and this really works - so I...

Well done Gillain for your loss - another week closer to Christmas, and closer to your goal x

Hello, Welcome to the life changing Cambridge Diet!!! Ketosis will come on day 3 or 4. I had a massive binge before I started too - and on day 3 I felt rotton, and couldn't have exercised if someone had paid me!! ha ha. Day 4 I woke up and felt great........ I mowed the grass and was a...

Well - I got my neighbour to view my bum and thighs on Sunday - just to see if the brushing is working! She is a real gym bunny, and she said my thighs and bum look better than hers!! It really does work ladies!!! Asa - I seem to go through so many tubs of cream, I just buy anything that...

Ladies - I am sorry, but I am so tired tonight, and I am stuggling to reply to posts!! I will do a quick one, so sorry if I miss anyone off! MissJMC - hello!!! I don't think we have chatted before - glad you are back with us, as the more of us - the more motivation we have!!! ActiveAsa - I...

Contrary - they were CHEAP - £13.50!!! Including packaging. I don't think the lady was good at marketing them, as smiliar pair of diesel ronhar are at £40, and not even ended yet!! I brought them as a size 31 waist - which is usualy a size 13 - but designer jeans are much smaller than real life...

Contrary - the 10's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW well done babe!!! Have a great holiday too, I so wish I was coming!!! All those lovely Italians!!!!!!! Both the food and the men! ha ha! Good news about your Dad too:-) I brought a pair of diesel...

I have an elemis brush - which has an attachable handle (so it is easier to do my back!!) I have found other brushes aren't quite stiff enough!! Here is the link to mine: Elemis Body Brush, Body Brush, Elemis Brush, Cactus Brush, Cellulite Brush I may have to try the espa one - have you...

ha ha !! So many jeans................... Do you think that like me, you have a bit of a shopping habit too!! ha ha! I have found 8 pairs of size 16 jeans................ I really didn't need that many! Get yourself down to the Debenhams sale from Wednesday to Sat - I am buying a pair of...

That is lovely news!!!! I do the same thing, by catching a glimpse of myself in a mirror when I am out - and I think 'she is slim' then a second later I realise it is me!!! ha ha!! I guess it takes a while for our mental picture to catch up with the real one.................. My brain still...

Hi Gems!!!! Sorry to hear that.............. I find the bars (although yummy) slow my loss down. I have a max of two a week now......... one on a Friday when I get weighed and sometimes on a Saturday. So, cutting down on the bars is a great idea. I also tend to retain fluid around my...

Hi Flobble!!! How are you?? I am not sure about the actual technical bits behind ketosis on 810 - as I have heard both sides, that you are in mild ketosis and that you aren't in ketosis. However I have done 2 weeks on 810, and doing my 3rd week. I have to say that my losses haven't been...

Hi Crimson, Thanks so much for the extra infomation!! I wish I had started this when I started the diet!!! I have been doing it for the last four weeks - when my skin went through a little wobble and it did help to shrink my skin back to the state is was before!!! Let me know how you get...

My response to Alli's question: It was the final bank holiday in May 2009, and I sat at home all weekend. I had plenty of offers to go out with my friends, but I felt low and didn’t want to see anyone or leave the house. This is not like me, I suffer very few down times and realised I was...

Hello Everyone!!! I just wanted to ask if anyone else does this??? I swear by it for smoothing my cellulite and improving the appreance of my skin after all this loss!!!! Basically I take a VERY STIFF natural bristle brush and use sweeping upward strokes around my problem area's (from legs...

Thanks Claire!!! You see we have lost a very similar weight, but will end up a similar size (although it will take us a different amount of loss to get there) A 22 to a 12 is just amazing! Whoop Whoop!

I might do the above post in the main forum, if we find it useful!!! Does anyone else experience the following: When I was walking around the shops yesterday, I kept catching glimpses of myself in mirrors - but didn't recognise it as me. Only becasue this woman I saw in the mirror looked...

Right - following on from Alli's post about reasons for weight loss - I would like to know your answer to the following question, as sometimes I feel it is import to focus on size of clothes rather than your actual weight (inches are sometimes lost when no weight has actually gone) and I think...

Claria - I am so glad you have been to the loo!!! I bet a number 2 has never been so welcome!!! ha ha! I spent last night putting stuff on e-bay, I used the schedule thing so they will all be on by 8pm tonight. I love the new photo's by the way - your trousers are very funny!! You need to...

Good Morning Beautiful Butterflies!!! Contrary and Claira - your reasons for loosing weight have brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you for sharing such intimate feelings - it is very inspiring! Claira - any news yet? Have you spent all night on the toilet? Active Asa - your second class of...

Phew - that was a long post - luckily I copied it before I posted, as it kicked me out!! ha ha I lost 2lbs yesterday....... so I am now 10 stone 13lbs!!! I haven't been in the 10s for maybe 8 years!!! I am so happy!!! However - I do really need to sell some clothes, as I really have nothing...

Good Morning Ladies!!! Broxi - welcome back babe! You will do well today I am sure of it. The slimmer I get, the easier it is to deal with food, as I am starting to feel so good about myself and I know that a meal isn't going to give me the same feeling. I am sure you will feel the same as the...

4lbs Barbara - well done babe!!! That is a great result on 1000 plan!!! and 6 inches - whoop whoop!!! It is dropping off you! xx

You are all sounding very active at the moment - Asa with your gym, Claira swimming, Alli walking the dog - and Contrary, I can't believe you even considered a milatry class! wow!! I am very impressed ladies! I need to start swimming to tone up - it is one thing to think about it, but...

I am finding it funny as I get smaller, as it feels so unsual for me to be slim. I just can't tell at the moment how much more I want to loose, as I don't want to look gaunt. So I guess I am trying to say (in a long winded way) that you may have to adjust your goal as you go!! It may be easier...

Asa and Zoe - well done on your losses ladies!! 5 stone Zoe - WOW WOW WOW well done babe, you have done so well!! I saw Barbara today, and her clothes are getting too big for her!!! I thought you would all like to know!

Zoe - a Christmas get together sounds great!! Maybe we could make it a New Year party (ie have it at some point in the new year, when we have got over the financial part of Christmas!!) How is your OH? Broxi - Lovely to hear from you! 3 weeks was a long break for your CDC, I am surprised they...

Good Evening Everyone!!!!! I have just got back from the cinema - I went with my friends for my birthday (which I know was last week!!!). They have brought me some vouchers for a beauty place, as they thought I deserved it after all the hard work I have put in!! I have not seen a couple of...

Hello ZiggyZoo!! Welcome to the site - I have found everyone here so supportive, and I am sure you will find it the same. Some of us have joined little groups, and you will see them on here. I am sure that you can join any of them, as everyone is welcome. There are some on the main Cambridge...

Helloooooo!! I had the same problem when I started this diet!! The first two stone came off my top half - although my boobs have ended large still. But I felt exactly the same, as my top half was slender - but my bum and hips were still wide!! However in the last stone and a half, the...

Asa - Dunsdon is a bad ass!!! ha ha!! I have to take him to get weighed tomorrow - for his diet!! ha ha. I haven't got round to putting some clothes on e-bay yet! Tonight I am sorting out my paper work - I leave and leave it, and now I nearly have a bin full of spreaded paper!! ha ha Claire...

Got to tell you this!!! I was in our head office today, talking with Barbara and her team - and we were discussing CD. (Barbara's team are very supportive of my journey, and will be for Barbara's too). Then someone came into our floor and said to me: "The CD is unhealthy and when you eat an...

4 years is even better!!!! I do feel that my friends think I will put it back on - but I am NOT EVER going through this again, and I have learnt so much about my cravings and 'tuning' into when my tummy is full!!! They can just wait and watch me stay the same!!! 4 years - that is just...

Thanks Zoe!! He is great when I am feeling a little down - he just gives unconditional love all the time! I go through stages of not being able to sleep = but then I slept though my alarm today!!! I really ought to go to bed now!! xx

KD - that is very funny!!! I guess she was a little confused or maybe deaf???? ha ha ha! I am begining to get a little annoyed now when people say to me ' the faster it comes off, the quicker it goes on'. The cheek of it, I can't wait until I have reached goal, and one day I am able to say I...

I have created an album with pics in - you can only view it if you are my contact (it has a picture of my sister in it) so please add me if you want to see my fat cat!!! He has also been on a diet - it is new and I have to get it from the vets, and it is ATKINS for cats!! How funny is that! He...

Night Zoe - sleep tight!! My current cat is called Dunsdon............. I like different names. He is a big fat (7.8kg) British Blue Shorthair - and looks grumpy all the time, but in fact he is always happy, and wants a cuddle!! The trouble is, that he is too heavy to be picked up for long. He...

Hi Denise, Welcome to the forum!!! I hope the first few days aren't that bad for you - they do get much much much better!! Honest!! I look forward to hearing about your journey on CD. How are you today? Bx

Good evening!!! £80 is loads on ebay! Go girl! I need to start putting my stuff on tomorrow night, and end it on Sunday!!! Zoe - 67lbs in total - well done!! That is a fab amount - no wonder you are looking so good! :-) Asa - maybe you should try a week at ss plus - I felt much better for...

Hi ya - I know what you mean!! I am much slimmer than I used to be, but now I want to be SLIM!! ha ha. How is your skin holding up? Mine seems to go through stages, it looks bad, then ok again (seems to take a bit to catch up). It doesn't look that great at the moment, I need to keep putting...

Claire - the scales will move, so please try not to worry about it! My last good run, I lost 13lbs in 3 weeks (after my holiday and ball). It took a while to start, then every other day I seemed to loose - after staying still for what seemed like ages!!!!! Please say hello to Broxi for me - I...

Hello Ladies, Claire - I have just looked at your other pics - wow. You look amazing in leggings and your top. I also love the bra!!! ha ha! You can tell how much weight you have lost! It is funny as are such different shapes, and you have bigger boobs than me!! Your family look lovely! Zoe...

Good morning ladies!!! How are you all today? I think I am going to go clothes shopping - not sure I will buy anything - but their is a designer shop closing down, and I want to have a look. Up to 75% off!! Well we have another looker - Zoe!!!! Well done for posting your photo babe, and yes...

Asa - hi babe!! When are you coming over again? It would be lovely to see you - please let me know the dates, and I will try to arrange with work so I can come and say hi. The reason I asked the other day about what size you are, is I have some lovely proper walking trousers....... I have only...

Hi Contrary, Our bmi is very similar! I think I am around 25 dead on now - my body is also trying to have TOTM - which isn't helping!! I just feel like poo - and spot on, I have just been to get a dvd (He is just not that into you' - which I thought would be good, as I always try when there...

Hi ladies, Sorry I have been so quiet this week. It is a mixture of being busy on my birthday and seeing friends Wednesday. However today and yesterday I have just not had any energy, and have felt really light headed........ a bit like the first two days on this diet before ketosis starts. I...

Good evening ladies!!! Thank you all for wishing me a happy birthday! I had a lovely lunch (only 10 mouthfuls off plan......) with my family, and tonight I am out for a drink with friends!! Carolyn and Broxi - I will support you all the way and have confidence in you both - as you will do...

It was a lovely handmade book - with different buttons sewed on the front - very lovely! I think I am off to bed chick!!

ha ha - you will loose that 5lbs all in one go tomorrow!! ha ha! I have the day off tomorrow! I think I may open a birthday present now, as it is nearly my birthday. xx

The other birthday girl (Claire) are you still here?? Its sounds like you had an amazing birthday............... Bxx

Hi Carolyn, It is lovely to hear from you too!! (Gosh this is a lovely day with everyone being on here). I think nearly all of us have struggled this summer (apart from Zoe and Louie who are keeping us all focussed!!) I think it is the hardest thing to get back on to CD after a break -...

Jane - you look AMAZING in that pink top!! The weight you have lost makes such a massive difference!!!! Well done babe - but a big smile on your face, as you have done so well! Bx (Thanks for sharing them)

Oh you are off to bed Asa - sleep tight!! I am thinking about your post, re what will you do if you aren't dieting anymore!! It will be very strange, as at some point I will get to the point where I don't need to diet any more (as will we all) - and how will my relationship with food be...

Wow wow wow - have an amazing time babe!!!! Sing your heart out!

Broxi - it is lovely to hear from you. I am glad the flu has gone - we are missing you on here too. I guess after a big break it is so hard to start again, and go through the pain of the first few days. I do not feel like you have let me down in any way - so please don't punish yourself in...

Victoria - thank you so much for your message. Logically, I know I am being blamed for something else that has happened in her life. However I am still vey sad about it, and so sorry that I have hurt her. I have not heard from her since Friday - which is unusual. She didn't even ask how my weigh...

Good evening ladies!! Zoe - well done on your loss!!! I hope I loose 4 lbs a week on ss+ too - but I doubt it (especially as I might treat myself tomorrow - it is my birthday!!) I so enjoy having my evening meal too - it does make such a difference! Claira - if you can set your mind to it -...

Right Skinny Ladies - I am going to get a shower and get doing some work in the garden!! See you later and thanks for your support Bx

I have more than 9lbs to go - that was my orginal goal, so I really have 1 stone and 11 lbs. We will all be skinny beans soon............... I just can wait for us all to reach our goals - so we can celebrate together!!!!!

Thanks Zoe and Asa. It is great to hear your thoughts on it - as I thought I might have done something really bad - but in fact I haven't! Asa - we have spoken twice about it. Once on the phone when she told me she was upset, and then on Friday face to face. She does realise that I said it...

I have just found this quote on Alli (CDC) 's signature - and I think it helps my other post perfectly - It has made me feel better anyway. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" - Dr. Seuss

12 lbs.................. wow that is amazing and well worth going through the ss pain for!! Well done babe!!!

Hi Zoe, I am good thanks - just working out what I am going to do with my day. I said something to a good work friend the other day, which has really upset her, and she put something on a mutual friends facebook which repeated what I had said - the other work friend laughed at it. I am upset...

Hi Zoe, How are you feeling today? Right - the bubble doesn't burst on this diet - as it DOES WORK. I guess it has been difficult re-introducing food, as I am discovering too!! I guess we have to get to grips with portion sizes, because ss is all worked out for us!! You say that your...

Good morning everyone!! Louie - well done babe! I bet you can't wait to get to 60lbs - it won't be long! BBabe - how are you today? Asa - I am glad the scales are moving for you. Claira - I hope you are enjoying your Birthday weekend! Bx

I have had my weigh in............ I lost 13lbs in 4 weeks!!! whoop whoop! Which is not bad considering that I had four days off plan (weddings and a ball). My bmi is now 25.4 (although my ticker says 25.5). I can't believe I got here - and it is all due to your support!! My inches lost goes...

Hello Ladies, Asa - that is a good plan about your man and Dad eating a meal you hate!! Claira - how is the tongue? HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow!!! I hope you have a lovely time away! Zoe - those scales sound amazing!! I might have to purchase some BBabe - our little challenge is talior...

Thanks Zoe - when I get into size 12 bottoms I will be really really happy!!! BBabe - well for a few days I stay the same, then suddenly one morning the scales will slip by another pound - and that is such a great feeling!! I just can't help it, it is the first thing I do when I get up! I think...

Don't get me wrong - I weigh myself twice a day (once in the morning, and once before bed). I can't wait to see my offical weight tomorrow!!! Day 4 - wow (Claira, Asa and BB) you are all doing so well!! I think you all have focus this week. BBabe- I can't believe you went to see a film...

ha ha Claira - that sounds like a good plan!!! I am going to go back on a dating site when I have done this - and I am going to describe myself as slender!!!! ha ha!

I am not doing much!! I am celebrating with friends, by going to the cinema lux in town. I may also go out for lunch.... not sure yet!!! If I am on 810, I can have a chicken salad!! I will be 34............. ahhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr old!! And never been married - but I have been...

Zoe - I love the choc orange bar - yum yum yum. It is dark choc. I love all the bars though - apart from the yucky peanut one! I hate peanuts!!! I could eat bars all day, and they slow my weight loss - hence why I am banning myself from them! Night - sleep tight babe!! XXXX

Thank you to the person who left me a rep comment!! It was lovely! I am off to bed, and hope to see another 1lb off tomorrow! ha ha! I going to buy some interim jeans tomorrow morning - as I am out for drinks tomorrow night (well I will have water!!) Sleep tight every one!!! xxxxxxxxxx

I just realised we are missing Ping Pong Ball (aka Beach Ball) too.................... Where is everyone???

BB - how tall are you?

Claira - it is nearly your birthday.............. whoop whoop

Good luck at the denist too Claira!!! Your eyes will open tomorrow, and it will be easier! My CDC has been away, and I have been away!! I haven't lost as much as I should in 4 weeks, as I had four days off (and didn't stick to protein as the carbs just jumped into my mouth!! heeee). I was 12.3...

oh babe - stick with it - the only way is up after today!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Have a coffee, or green tea

Claira - a cdc!! wow - you would be fab at that!! Shame you don't live closer - as I would come to you!! My bmi is around 25.87.... but I am just waiting for my first weigh in on Friday for 4 weeks!! Asa, Claira and BikiniBabe - well done for sticking with it!!! I have not had any bars...

I saw an old friend from my old job last night! She has done LL and Cambridge - but she is waiting for a gastric band now. It was so lovely to see, and to be able to share my journey with someone who knows what it is like. She said I was skinny! ha ha!! I am off to Knutsford later for a...

BikiniBabe!! - welcome!! It is good to have you on here. How are you getting on with starting back on the diet?? Would you like to join in our mini challenge?? Basically we just have to stick to ss each day....and I am not allowed bars until the weekend! So far Claira, Asa and I are on it. Zoe...

Hi again BikiniBabe, I have just responded to your other post - and it is so nice to have you back! Right quick answer - as I am off to get some beauty sleep. Diet coke - no splenda - sorry not sure, as I don't take sweeteners! Veg bou - I believe so. I have brought the veg flavouring...

Zoe - how was work? And you are right, you have had amazing loses!! Asa - how was your sister? Did you manage your first day??? Sorry I wasn't on earlier - I just felt so tired!! Bx

Helllllooooooooooooooooooooo BikiniBabe!!! It is lovely to have you back!!! Where did you go on holiday?? Why don't you come and join our butterfly group?? There are a few of us who are having a wobble - (me included) but we are supporting each other through each day of ss!! Right I am...

Hello Ladies!!! Asa - well done for today!! I am glad you had a great party!! We can do another mini challenge if you would like. Claira and Broxi - would you like to join in? I haven't had any bars.... I was going to treat myself to one tonight - but I will plan for Friday instead.... Also...

Mine is Lady B as my friends gave me this nickname about 7 years ago. My real name is Bethan. I quite like the nickname, somtimes they call me B - but mainly they all refer to me as Lady B. The obviously thought I was a Lady when I met them all - but if you ask them now, I am not sure they...

Oh that made me giggle Claira!!! ha ha!! Can I call you cluck cluck now??? heeee haaaa. It is funny, as I know your real name is Clarie - but I always think of you as Claira now!!

Oh Broxi - how are you feeling today??? Have you got over the worst? Hey it is also your 3rd day on SS - wow!! If you get through today then Ketosis will kick in, and it will be plain sailing again! whoop whoop! Asa - how was the party? How is your head!! ha ha!

Morning Ladies, Claira - I have just looked at your photo's - wow you are very pretty!!! Really really beautiful!!! I can't wait to see the new photos too. Matt and Charlie look lovely too, but you are just so pretty!! Wow. Broxi - how is your dog today? Getting stung in his balls can't be...

When I was younger, I used to have the opposite problem with weight. So from the age of 16 to 21 I would eat very little (2 rivita and butter a day). So I used to be very skinny. I was around 7 stone to 7 1/2 stone - not nice!! That was a bmi of around 16. 21 was the age I discovered food, and...

Broxi - I bet you feel much better after a bath, and some lovely clean smelling sheets! I have done my water feature - this job has been outstanding since last summer!! I forgot how much I love it, and I am now hear sitting listening to the sound of running water - bliss!

Claira - love the dress!! I bet you can't wait to wear it!! My spare room is the same - and I have to so something about it soon, as my friend is coming to stay Aug bank holiday! The tango bra's look lovely. I have got my new balconette harmony on today - I have finally decided that my bust...

Victoria - ellloooooooooooooooooooooo It is lovely to hear from you!! It sounds like you are having a fab time being on trips!!! Don't worry about the struggling - the are quite a few of us in the middle of a wobble!!! ha ha!! It is just so lovely to hear from you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Summer, How is it going? Chickenpie is right - I have a bed full of clothes which don't fit me anymore!!! ha ha! This diet really does change your life. You will find the things you need to set up your profile under User CP - and the bit which says signature. You can set yourself up a...

Hi Fluffy How are you? How much have you lost now then?? My CDC said I could go and get some from the chemist (as I retain water around my TOTM) - but so far I have never bothered. Bethan xx

Hi Tracey, Good luck for your journey! CD is really life changing, and I have lost 3 stone in 10 weeks!! It slides off quickly! Good luck for your first week. Everyone has a different experience, but for me the first 3 days were the hardest! The third day I mainly slept - but the fourth day...

I have PM Nikki - I hope she doesn't feel she can't come on here still. It would be good to hear from her. I hope all is well with Victoria too. Right, I am off to get a shower - then I am going to sort my garden out! When I started this diet, I felt so low that my house reflected how I...

Broxi - I am behind you all the way!!! We will all get to our goal!!! I am worried about Nikki and Victoria - they haven't been on for a while now. x

Hi ladies - well done on your first week!!!! It does get much easier as time goes on! Melaine - I have never heard of anyone not loosing weight at the first WI - you will be fine!!!

Ladies - I sooooooooooooooooooooooooo can't wait to be at my goal weight! I feel so stupid for getting myself like this in the first place, and sooooo wish I hadn't. I do think as you loose weight, it is much harder to stay on track - and I think we have all struggled at this point (Asa...

I am glad you are feeling a little better - I guess if you manage today being 100% on ss - you only have tomorrow to do!! Day 3 is thw worst day, and then you are clear!!! I am glad you don't fancy food - as this may help you get back on it!!! You sound a little brighter today! I really...

How are you feeling today Broxi?

I have 2 stone 2lbs to loose - and I hope this will be done by early October. By then end of September I want to be going up the plans!

Good morning Broxi - you are still awake! I think people can make their own style...... rather than folllowing trends. And if those pieces fit well, and look good on you - then you should wear them with pride! Also there will not be in any danger of someone wearing the same outfit as you...

Clothes I noticed that Asa said she hasn't got much left to wear now! And I am sure we are all going through the same thing! So I wondered if we could talk about the state of our wardrobes, and if you are buying any interim clothes??? I have found that as I have lost weight, I am in and...

Broxi - I love reading books - but never seem to have the time. I always read when I am on holiday! At least 2 books in a week - and I enjoy it then - but never seem to find the motivation when I get home! I do read other books when I am at home - but they don't fit into the fiction...

In answer to your 'how thin are you going to go' question (Broxi) - I am currently 11stone 9lbs on my scales (I have my offical WI next Friday after a gap of 4 weeks). So my bmi hits 25 bang on at 11stone 2 lbs. So not far to go until I have a healthy bmi - which will be the first time in 6...

Good morning Ladies!! Broxi - please take care of yourself!! I doubt you have enough energy to look after your son, so I guess your husband is running around after you both. Well done on day 1 of ss......... it is a big step! Claira - wow, you have had lots of compliments - and you deserve...

Broxi - sorry you are feeling so ill!! It doesn't sound like a nice thing to go through at all!! But like you say - you can get back on to ss..... ha ha! Although I am sure your feeling much worse than the normal first few days! Louie - how are you today??? Asa - how are the house chores...

QUOTE=Zoe.D;1879869]Thanks Lady B, I am worried about putting my pic to my profile because of people coming on and viewing and recognising me with all my statistics there etc. I know it's only a slim chance of that happening but sometimes I have sneaky peak at work and I wouldn't wany anybody...

Claira and Zoe - it is funny, cause I always thought having big boobs would be great when having a baby! A 36M - wow!! I am sorry you both had problems feeding....... and for letting me know you didn't smother your babies!! heee haaa. x

Zoe - you just caught me! Thanks for making them public, I will add you as a friend anyway. You look amazing babe - you have such a pretty face...... I think you should get it up on your profile!! You husband looks sweet too - you make a could couple!!! I am glad you enjoyed your day...

I think I have always had big boobs - so kind have grown used to them. Even when I was very slim - 7.5 stone, they were still d to dd cup! I don't hate them enough to have surgery at the moment - I have always wanted to have children before I considered anything like that. My next door...
