HI Everyone, I met with my CDC last night after another disastrous week and we've decided that now isn't the right time for me to be attempting cambridge. There's far too much going on and my head is all over the place. I'm spending too much time worrying about other people so that I don't...

confessional.... Hi all, Have had a pants few days, i fell completely off the wagon - why is it that friends feel they need to medicate you with food... i've had people flat out refuse to take no for an answer and telling me not eating because i'm upset will only make me ill.... part of the...

Hey everyone thanks for all the support. I managed to tell him last night, it went ok. I burst into tears but he was just like its ok I understand, are you sure tho? He acted more grown up than I've ever known him to in our whole relationship. I felt so stupid for crying, i just hate hurting...

Hi devilishandsweet... sorry to hear about your neice being horrible, it is really hard not to take things to heart but please try not to. Most likely she's scared because your losing weight and improving how you look and feel about yourself, whilst she can't change her life and is jealous. At...

hey guys, thank you for all the support - i really was ducking and covering to be told off - not that I think you guys would but I'm in a relationship where the guy constatly critisices my weight and tuts if I eat anything and has gone as far as to snatch food out of my hands. ( I realise this...

wooo wooo to the dishy police officer!!!

hello, my day one went a bit wrong, I tried the cheese and brocolli soup and it was so horrible i couldn't eat it. My family had had some lean mincemeat so i limited myself to 3 spoonfuls of that on some lettuce as i figure its low carb and would be under 200 cals. I've still got 3 more...

Aww chick I hope you're ok! Men are totally useless and just cause us all so much trouble! Hope you feel better soon! x

My Day 1 Day 1 - the good and bad so far: Good: the toffee and walnut shake I had for breakfast tasted nice... Bad: My stomach keeps growling for lunch and its not even 12 yet and I'm dreaming of french bread pizza! What was anyone elses day 1 like???

Hey devilish...i think weighing every 2 weeks is sensible... I can't do it cuz i'm a complete scale hopper, but i think i'll have to try it cuz I know my loss will slow down if not be very slow after the first 3 weeks I liked ur answer to my Animal question... it does sound like a very good...

eep! Air sounds hairy scary!! But I still bet i'd love it!!! Technically i think the programm said that if you did sit down and rest today, then you'd be burning more cals than you normally would because of the excersize yesterday! :D I loved vanilla on LL I had it everyday and it did get a...

Hi everyone!! Sorry I've been quiet for a bit - came back from my holiday which was in Germany visiting one of my best friends, and then dashed down to the coast weds/thurs and today on my nice relaxing day off I managed to destroy a piece of my bedroom furniture just by looking at it and so...

Good morning everyone! Right my introductiony bit: Hi all I'm Lori (or Loz, Lozza, oi you over there) and I'm 21. I've pretty much been overweight all my life except when I was 16/17 something changed, the weight all dropped off, I became confident, felt sexy and started to enjoy life a lot...

Hi guys! Quickly jumped on my friends laptop while she's off getting ready :-) Yay we have a thread!!!! I wish I could offer to be team leader, but my job is very chaotic and sometimes makes it difficult for me to post online for a few days, and I would hate it if our team missed out on a...

hey all! I'm still in for the team please! and I love chasing butterflies as a team name so my vote is for that!!!! I'd struggle to be the team leader because sometimes my work commitments mean i'm away from my pc longer than i'd like to be, so i'll have to let someone else do it! But yes...

I'm up for that!!! any idea how we do it???

Hi hi hi hi hi! I'm very new to CD - I don't actually start until 20th July but I'm seeing my CDC on Weds to get set up - I'm starting post holiday! Cuz I'm gonna be new to it I really wanna join a team to keep me motivated! Has anyone got space for me??? Or should I wait 2weeks til my...

Thanks Jim, that sounds way better than just boiling them up!

Hello everyone. How is it going? Thought I'd give an update. I've been thinking about it very very long and hard, and when I come back from my holiday I'm switching onto the Cambridge Diet for a while. I love IPD so much, but at the moment while I still have so much to lose, only...

I'm not on CD yet but joining in 2weeks after going on holiday. My reasons are: 1. I want to feel confident when I walk into a room or shop or when going out with my boyfriend and not like people are looking at me going man she's really dumpy. 2. I want to lose weight faster than I am at...

I'm a woman, it's my perogative to have a strop ;) I've just realised that I'm eating good food and can go out and enjoy myself and still lose weight, so if it's a bit of a slower path than a vlcd then who cares! I'd rather be a gradually shrinking gourmet that a quick shrinking dust eater :D...

i think i'm over my strop now :-) i lost another pound this week which is good, aslong as it keeps coming down. hope everyone is ok! Loz

teheheh I had a sneaky dark chocolate truffle last night... I only had the one but it helped the cravings! Scamp I agree with Shell about the water, but also are you sure you are really hungry and its not just a habit thing - e.g. I have times where i think i'm hungry but when i sit and think...

hi helen71 - i think low carbing is good if you enjoy food. I haven't tried Charles Clarke, but am doing Neris and Indias Idiot Proof Diet which is similar in the sense its not as strict as atkins! My advice if you are going to low carb it is to try and plan ahead a bit so that meals don't end...

Right yesterday went - b- 2 rasher bacon, 2 fried eggs l- ham, spinach, tomato salad with roule! d- 2 pork steaks, handful of lettuce, blob mayo snak- couldnt resist some cheese :( Today's plan b- 2 sausages, 2 fried eggs, l- chicken breast and courgette in garlic butter d- tuna salad with...

Don't worry about it mixed! Its probably just water weight you've put on from the carbs and you'll shed it quick enough!xx

tee-hee-hee I caught the Wii Active bug too and purchased it on Sunday - only catch is I'm giving it to father as a fathers day present... kinda naughty I know but I'm trying to encourage him to shed some pounds and i figure if i get to use it too then it'll make him happy to see me getting...

Right did my weigh in this morning - +1lb :mad: i am annoyed and disappointed but i choose to turn the negative energy into positive. So things I'm going to do differently this week: 1. - No snacks - I have not bought any babybels or pepperamis or nuts this week and I'm going to try to...

HI IrishMum - there is a recipe around here for low carb bread. Might be worth checking it out? Sorry I can't really help you with you're quesiton, I gave up eating wheat for lent and have no clue about bread/crackers...sorry!

Hi Sophie - welcome to low carb! I tried SW before both at home and in group and I stuck to it longer in group and had more success but as I don't eat wheat found it very difficult to stick with healthy extras! Low carb is great tho - as i'm sure you know having done it before!

hi shell! I'll join you in this... might help me keep track as i'm not doing a fitday log! B - 2 rashers organic bacon, 3 egg-omlette type thing (it all stuck to the pan:(), scoop of philedelphia L- 3 slices turkey breast, baby spinach leaves, cucumber, celery, dollop of philly. D -...

Shell that was a marathon post! :p love it! i like the mini cheeseburgers - the knob of butter made me drool!!! lol. i think your diet has a lot of variety in it... sooo many different types of meat and you can mix salad up! Do you ever do chicken breast stuffed with cheese??? O and thats...

O Scamp I think i love you!!! I was wondering about kebabs...glad to hear you can do it on Atkins! i would say the sauces might be a potential sticking point depending on the amount of sugar in them but if its a hot chilli and not a sweet chilli and its not drowning in it it can't hurt... i mean...

Hey shell, havin slept on it i'm feeling more rational and relaxed today so *oooohhhhmmmm* Lol the bowel movement thing - i'm going less too - like i feel like i should be producing more cuz of the amount I eat, but not happening! Maybe its just adjustment??? Make sure you're drinking enough...

Hi Karen, I looked at go lower and was tempted by it, still slightly am, but get bored of soups! IPD is great so if you're joining us that's awesome and welcome aboard! Shell I totally blame the weather, the cold and the rain always drives me to bed! It was so miserable on Saturday that I...

lol cool stuff Jim! This is turning into a right little German group! I will be very honest and say most people I know scoff when I say how much I like Germany - I think its so sad that they judge such a beautiful country based on the teeniest part of its history! Moving on before I roll off...

:talk017: Waheeey Mixedspice! Well done! that is an amazing first week loss! Glad that IPD is working for you! :-) Like Jim says, don't be disappointed if next week is a smaller loss, after all as long as its a loss you're going in the right direction :-)

I'm going to Heidelberg this time around. I've also been to Köln on a work exchange and went touring round Thüringen whilst volunteering! Have to say I love Germany - some of the friendliest people I've ever met!! I seem to always get lucky and get free things from people while I'm there...

Hi PinkScrummyMummy - welcome aboard, the more the merrier! What I will say is make sure you read the whole book (atleast up to phase 2!) before starting the diet at least once - and refer back to it!!! I find this diet soooo much nicer than meal replacement - you can eat out without any hassle...

Hey Shell!!!! 3lbs is bloody awesome! Don't be disappointed!! and in 2 weeks you are only a teeny tiny 2lbs away from having lost a whole stone!!! that is something to be celebrated!!! Plus you have the knowledge that you haven't had enough water!!! Lol.. don't worry about the measuring tape...

Hi Shell - It's Lori, Loz, Lozza, hey you over there, oi.... whichever suits really! :cool: Crossing all my bits for your WI - you did fantastically last time!!! Just remember that the first is always the biggie, the rest is the key to success! (that's not the catchiest catchphrase is it? I'll...

Hi Jo, glad you got your books! I'm on day 3 now and really enjoying the meals I've cooked from the books, so tasty! Hi Jim, thanks for being all supportive, from looking round the forum I can see your somewhat of a diet guru! I wonder if you can help me with something, how relative are...

Hi Shell, Totally understanding what you mean about reading the book!!! It arrived for me yesterday and I sat in the garden this morning and read it for 3 hours - i was so into it that i didn't notice my arms getting sunburned - d'oh! I'm just over halfway through so hopefully I'll get to grips...

Hi everyone! I've just come from a LL meeting and my counsellor has taken me off the programme as the soups shakes were making me ill but kindly she's letting me stay to the group sessions. Anyway - I've been looking through this forum for aaaages trying to find a diet I might love and from...

Hi everyone, i'm new to the site so sorry if this is posted somewhere else and i've not been able to find it. I've been doing LL for 2 weeks now and it's making me throw up everytime i have a shake or soup and i feel so weak its stopped me going to the gym. Plus i've found that my heart rate...
