Hahaha, get it done! I'll join! X

Yea thats true Broxy, just cos one person finds they dont do the trick there are people that do, I used to have a friend who did CD bars and she swore by em! xx

Hahahaha that made me laugh sooooooo much :8855: x

My old CDC used to charge £1.80 per meal for anything, tetra, shake, bar I don't know how my new CDC prices things cos when I tried to sign up before the middle CDC had different prices for things... Your guess is as good as mine LOL! X

I think you need to be under supervision at all times you two, with compulsory elbow and knee pads! Hee hee Oh I have lots of drunken piccys! Loads! I have one pole dancing at my ex work on my last day. I'd only had a couple of Schloers too! xx

OMG... hahaha, thats bad! Did you give him his skateboard back? I don't think I've done anything that wild... Hahaha When I went to mexico a year and a half ago we loved this one night club, Coco Bongo, they do shows there every night and have impersonators and do a big show, me and my friend...

Hahaha!!! Nothing too serious I hope... Not really funny stories. I just get very drunk. If I'm not with my best friend and I drink wine I get really 'Emo' drunk, I start chatting absolute tripe! When I went out when I was younger I remember one night snogging a few 'flower guys' hahaha you know...

Yea, I know what you mean, altho White wine doesnt like me really, I'm drunk by my 3rd glass! Hahaha, I started a group on Facebook about it! I blame my white wine caused antics on my best friend! Hahaha! x

They last ages too as 'ice cream' x

I may try the Cappuccino shake with ice etc. x

Ditto :D X

I didn't have a last meal as such. I tried to eat well but it went right out the window!!! lol I always think the same as you.... well i'm gonna be without it for the next 9 months so sod it! X

I dont like the strawberry tetras either! Last time I did CD I lived on hot chocolate, hot choc mint and hot choc orange. I preferred them hot x

should be yummer!! ice rocks... hahaha get it.. oh that was terrible I know x

I always drink the shakes through straws. I dunno if that'll make things easier for you, and I swear by a blender, well I use a hand electric blender. x

Ah I felt EXACTLY the same as you before I started. The more time I had to think about doing it the more scared I got. I was scared of failing and disappointing people, scared cos I too am a grumpy biatch when I am hungry but also excited at being drop dead gorgeous slim... we can do it. Good...

Getting on well today. not too bad, drunk the water, downed the shakes :jelous: How about you?? xx

Even tho its water weight that I'm loosing I still love it!!! They will still be your friend.... things can only get better, espesh when your on about 450cals a day! I have asked my CDC to bring me and Apple and Cinn. porridge on when I see her on Sunday. I hope it's better than the other! x X

oooh I think thats grounds for divorce, hahahaha.... x

I used the blender and it was still rank!! I won't be having original porridge again. Ooh day three is bad for most.. I also have the paracetamol and stuff on standby. Ooh well done you resisting the lovely stuff at work! I was a bit naughty.. I weighed myself at various times throughout the...

Amen to that - Original porridge SUCKS! xx

Hiya hun, I'm alright, getting hungry but I've not had my 3rd shake yet, I'm gonna have it in a min, not had any brews either :) Drunk the water so I couldn't ask for a better day! I don't see my CDC til Sunday so used all the cruddy flavours today so tomorrow I have better shakes. I figured...

Ah ok, a CDC says that it's ok but only the odd one. I will steer clear just in case ... xx

Ahhh.... muchos!!! I don't really like tea or coffee that much so I find the odd cup of Earl grey a nice change. I find I drink more tea and coffee on this diet to fill me up tho. Thanks for the link!! xx

OMG.... torture... :drool: x

Is this a no-no on CD? x

I agree.. I do feel positive today.. but... darn that temptation! x

Hmm, people are wierd aren't they, well there could be another reason maybe they just see you as inspiration to change themselves... hmmmm :D Whilst we're on a roll, my husband is 6ft 3ins and should be 13st+ for his height, he always does this thing that when I weight myself and moan about it...

well well well, it's funny that isn't it! Haha! :) X

Yea good question... like a lot of people use vanilla shake to add to coffee to make a latte.. x

Thanks everyone, I may have to try that I let the water cool, added 2 tab sweetners to 140mls water to dissolve before adding to porridge mix, whisked it with my electric stick blender, put in micro for 50 seconds.. I think i'll get one from the CDC on sunday just to try it again...:jelous...

Oh dear, it tastes like Wallpaper paste.... not that I've eaten paste. :( I have to eat this bloody thing now.... bad times.. It's really thick.... I followed the water amount on the packet, even added a couple of sweetners. x

Ooohh I'll try it like that, I shall report! Thank you v muchly x

Hello all! How do I successfully make a good porridge? Do you put it in a bowl or a cup? Advice greatly appreciated x

Haha! Thanks hun! Yea I'm gonna try and leave all my shakes as late as poss, I'm gonna try and take them around certain times to try and get into a routine, but I bet that idea goes right out the window! I don't really like the soups, to be fair tho I haven't tried them all, I tried one but I...

Well done Lisa!! Not bad at all for TOTM! Hope it gets better for you Carolyn! You can do it!! x

Whoop! Congrats on getting thru your first day!! I think I'll blend mine first then.. its my first day tomorrow too, I think I'll have porridge for breakie. My friend mixes sweetner with hers, so I may try that. I'm dreading it!!!! Have a great 2nd day LadyB!!!!!!! x

I think theres these natural appetite surpressants that you can buy, they are like the little breath fresh strips that just dissolve on your tongue, I dont know if they are 'allowed' nor do I know where you can get them from etc. Just heard a friend talking about them some time ago x

Ta hun x

I totally agree, my grandma is always trying to feed me, every five minutes but then she'll say to me 'oh I do wish you loose weight'... she's a very big lady so doesn't want me to end up like her, her hearts in the right place but she doesn't realise. You go for it! be the slimmer one and...

Hi Kerry! Good luck with the CD! X

I love this poem, it's so true, something I can connect to, altho I don't have kiddies yet... I love this bit: "But it all ends now... no more I can take, My life can be changed into whatever I make. In the corner of the room I will no longer sit, But flourish, and accept the attention that...

Nougat .... x

Haha, this really made me giggle, thats so true, or when you lean back the water pours out from behind you! You end up with a mini flood....... I really hope that doesn't just happen to me..... :ashamed0005: xx

- To be able to wear sleeveless tops - To be able to go into a shop and not have to be exhiled to the broom cupboard at the back where the big sizes are :sigh: - Not having to buy wider fitting shoes - To eat in public without worrying that people are sniggering behind my back about what I order...

I have to say... and I know I shouldn't.... but I am a serial weigher... I get on the scales about 4 times a day when I'm dieting, which is silly I know cos weight changes throught the day, I don't know why I do it. So I would get the batteries but as people have been saying it's personal...

fruits of the forest does taste kack! I thought it also sounded like it had potential but no.. it has a really minging taste in it, i can't describe it. I didnt like the berry drink, had 'issues' in a pub adding it a pint of sparking water, lol, it exploded everywhere (yes I took my berry...

:wow: Well done on your fab loss, espesh in only 5 days! x

I know, it's almost disgusting.... thats probably why I like it! Haha x

or Malibu and Pineapple Juice - YUMMER!! x

I tried to make a choc muffin once, BIG mistake, it just turned into a salty congealed lump. This time round I won't be trying the recipes again x

Well done on your WI! Good luck with the new lady and next weeks WI! x

Thank you guys for your advice, I have started cutting out sugars, getting used to sweetner, drinking more plain water, reducing food portions and reducing carbs so fingers crossed. My determination comes from the fact that the first time I did it I thought I was the bees knees and Ive let...

Last time I was on CD I stayed clear of having alcohol altogether. I love Malibu also.... not half as much as cocktails though! I try and convince myself that the strawberry and banana shakes are daiquiris hahaha x

Good luck all and here's to proving everyone wrong! WHOOP! X

Good luck on your journey to slim-ness! x

It's been 2 years since I was first on Cambridge and I am also re-starting on sunday, I remember crying A LOT! excitement on WI day, the mother and father of all headaches in the first week. My crying/moods lasted for the WHOLE duration of my CD experience (2.5 months) Hahaha! Good luck!!!! XX

Good luck whatever happens, fingers crossed for next month! X

Hiya, I am due to re-start at weekend, I am also just working out flavours etc, last time, I didnt like any of the soups and overkilled the choc mint as I only liked that warm. I love the mix a mousse stuff (if they still do it LOL) I really only like banana, strawberry and plain choc, I like...

Hello!!! Good luck for your start on Sunday x

Hello!! Good news from the doc about starting, I am due to start again at weekend, I will be seeing my CDC on Sunday... yay! Good luck with the start!!!
