oh i can really empathise with you mumtheshopper, i lost 4lb in my first week, but 4 weeks later im 3lb heavier than when i started!!!??? im tracking and counting and being quite varied in my diet, i exercised more in the first fortnight i have to admit but i still gained in the second week...

well CD is a very low calorie diet with no food involved in the first stages so a bit different to slimfast i think? ive not done slimfast myself. im going to take the weekend to think about what im going to do!

thanks again everyone :D im still debating if i should do two weeks cambridge diet before i start weight watchers or what. it seems like you all do use the pre packed stuff a bit and ive been looking at some of the recipies maybe i will start to develp some cooking skills in time lol x

thanks so much for the responses....when im left to my own devices i just cant control my portions and im lazy and eat toast and sandwhiches allll the time! CD was good for me as it took away the choice...im thinking that sticking to a certain amount of points and eating things that are...

hello all, my names adele, i did the cambridge diet and lost 7 stone 3 years ago but have regained 3 stone and desperately want to get rid of it...but its proving impossible for me to get back on the CD wagon! im thinking of starting weight watchers points plan. however, i cant cook/wont cook...

morning everyone :) im not a regular in this thread but i often read it... i lost 7 stone on the cambridge diet last year and have sadly gained one stone back...so here to day one of ss in a bid to lose 2 stone!

what an excellent result, well done and good luck for the future too :)

well i didn thave much to begin with really :( at my biggest i was a size 24 wearing a 42C, one of the motivating factors for me to lose weight was that i hated the way my belly stuck out further than my boobs! im now a size 14 and wearing a 36b. well, i say b, but the last bra i bought was...

just a little update.....2 weeks of 790 and no alcohol.....no loss this fortnight :confused: however, no gains either so im glad that im maintaining rather than putting any on. looks like it might be back to ss for me to get to target!

awwww V thanks, i didnt think anyone was judging me! im a firm beleiver in that we all make our own way through the diet and i have chosen to take advantage of loopholes/cheats, i take responsibility for that. with regards to my goal, 13stone is my personal goal, the correct goal according to...

*adele dusts off her cd books* and says no to :party0016: :D

add a little bit of water to a sweet sachet, mix into a paste, roll into little balls using two tea spoons, pop on a plate and put in the freezer, i leave them in for an hour, then prise them off the plate and enjoy :) you get about 10 from a sachet, i love butterscotch but all of the shakes work!

i like all the chocolate ones hot and as someone whos never drank coffee in her life i steered away from the cappacino...i decided to give it a go and i really liked it so now im a coffee drinker! allbeit mellowbirds but hey its still coffee lol ive not tried any of the sweet ones hot, i...

thanks sweetpea :) i bought one of those stepper thingies a few weeks ago and ive been on it about 3 times lol i guess thats going to help aswell, i will make sure i get on it tonight and just generally buck my ideas up!

i know, youve done so well :D i did stay teetotal for about the first 8 weeks of ss, i didnt find it too bad actually and i could easily do it again......i dont have anything on for the next couple of weekends so i wont be drinking.......maybe a couple of weeks of strict ss is what i need.

i apreciate all of your replies :D for the record, im not out steaming drunk every weekend. we all find our own way through this diet and i although i am completely aware of the reasons for not drinking etc etc, i choose to do so. my choice :p i have lost the same amount of weight each week on...

hello all :) ive been on here for a while but dont post much, but i thought you all might be able to offer me some advice so here goes... basically ive been on 790 for a month now and ive only lost 4lb. the only thing im not following to the letter is that i continue to have a few drinks at...

pasties! ive been dreaming about a lovely big pastie since i started ss back in march mmmmmm mouth watering again at the thought lol

ive been on 790 for about a month now and ive only lost 2lb per week. i know why it is though, its because ive got complaicant! im finding that the more my weight decreases and confidence increases...im out every weekend living it up on the vodka and hardly eating a thing! i really need to...

dont want to rain on your parade but i bought an almost identical dress with a very similar picture off ebay recently, it wasnt from that particular shop (blue banana) but its an identical style. it was really cheap quality and very small sized, the material was scratchy and netting sewn on...

somebody just sent me a reputation comment on this thread saying "whats with the socks?" first of all, who was it? second of all, socks is socks. whats with half the avatars on this forum in that case? :confused:

i think kimberly was the right one to go on the night, the outfit and dong were awful, its such a shame coz i really liked her! i think its a little unfair that two of the groups in the final 3 are manufactured from single rejects rather than actually groups....and i think hope are horrendous...

omg even just thinking of the chilli soup makes me feel ill :jelous: i like all the other suoups tho so thats ok!

i think my healthy weight is something like 11st7, i dont want to be that thin! ive lost 6 stone and am wearing a size 16, im really comfortable with that and im gonna start moving up the plans now i think. if i lose more and mainatin at a size 14 that would be great :D but its about how i...

dont be embarassed! what a sweetie he must be! think yourself lucky......i went out for a dirnk last week with a bloke and he asked me out again this saturday...he's not replied to my txts all week so ive deleted his number. in a strop. im kicking myself now tho, i wont be able to send him...

its mad isnt it? ive just got into a size 16 and i pick them up in the shops look and think nahhh i'll never get into those...then i do :D ive not been into evans for about 3 months. that alone is reward enough!

well ive been on ss for exactly 6 months today and have lost exactly 6stone. ive never found it difficult or felt the need to stop ss.....i have used certain loop holes ie coke zero, bullion, veg and protien, vodka at the weekends......none of these things have affected my weightloss to any...

i absolutely agree....we need to be able to re-learn how to eat healthy and normal portions, its not realistic to stay on a VLCD forever.

i wouldnt worry if youre still losing weight, the ketostix dont work at all for some people!

well done gemma thats great :D ive been moaning recently coz theres a pair of size 20 jeans id only just got into that i loved....after 2 weeks theyre too big and ive had to put them away again! and now my size 18's are falling off me and ive invested in a couple of pairs of 16's....... i...

i use cold tap water for all my shakes and mousse....ive never had a problem with it not being icy cold. the only shakes i like hot are the chocolate one, or the chocolate tetra with hot water added :) i could do wiht one now im flippin freezing!

mine costs about 3,50 i think and you get ten servings to a pot i.e. ten scoops. the scoop comes in the pot. basically it tastes like whatever shake you make it with, the consistancy is like any other mousse...i cant remember what angel delight is like ive not had it since i was a little kid...

as far as im aware, its only classed as white fish when its tinned

tinned tuna in springwater is classed as white fish and i think its 80g allowed on add a meal week :)

awwww poor you! ive never had a cold sore in my life but recently i got one in my eye...it was hell! i didnt even know you could get them in your eye :cry: im hoping it doesnt recurr soon or often, like coldsores on the mouth do. i know that cd give you your rda of vitamins minerals etc but...

i have collar bones, hips and ribs that id not felt for along time lol ive also found that i have knees that dig into eachother when im laid on my side in bed at night :D

i went on a first date this weekend too...and also to an italian :) again, there was no main course salad but i just asked them to make me one and it was fine. my date was impressed with my green salad and water :D he was also impressed with the ammount of vodka i can drink without falling...

excellent misdee! i just tried on the jeans i was aiming to get back into and theyre loose! :clap:

you know that one scoop of mix a mousse adds 20 calories to your day? well, if i use two scoops per day will it be detrimental to my weightloss? (see, the only way i can get my mousse to wokr is with 2 scoops and 200ml of water.) it hasnt seemed to affect my losses so far but i just...

now, that really is the perfect mouse! :giggle:

i'd really like spicy parsnip, leek and potato and lentil soups. and maybe a meaty one like oxtail for a change.

i dont have any bad things really....my breath doesnt smell, im still going out and socialising, im still drinking vodka and diet coke with no ill effects.... on the good side though my hair and nails are gowing shiny and strong, i have energy, my skin is glowing and im losing loads of weight...

well...i had my first tea spoon of the fibre89 stuff about 2 hours ago...and lets just say its done the job :)
