Couldn't get to WI this week, was ill at weekend and went to hospital with suspected appendicitis, but turns out I had an ovarian cyst that had burst, they had to take ovary and fallopian tube out to stop infection spreading. So I am back home now, a bit sore, but gettin better day by day. Can't...

I know darl. My darling boy won't go to bed on his own, won't go to school on his own, and I am mortified that I couldn't keep him safe. Since the incident I comfort ate but then felt really sick so I haven't been able to eat anything (even a shake) or even stomach any water or anything else. I...

:(Week 3 and the weekend was pap, I was extremely stressed as my DS was attacked by 2 older lads who made him lie on the floor and whipped him with a dog leader, he's only 10 ffs. His self esteem is shattered now and he is having nightmares. We spent all day speaking with the police, making...

I don't know about getting into ketosis any quicker, but I find after exercise that I am less hungry and the next day I have more energy, so it can't do any harm, give it a whirl girl lol. Good luck!!

Wot I don't like is when kids are given reasonable names and their mates nickname them, my step daughters friend is called Nathaniel and they all call him 'Naff'. Or Imogen who has parents who call her Immy

Sorted my gym membership out, it's only £26 a month and I can swim, gym or any of the exercise classes, whenever I want. Gym induction next Friday then off I go...wibble wobble wibble wobble to the peak of fitness:character00116:

I lost 17lbs in 2 weeks but it has slowed down now, so I would say 2.5 stone by 19th Sept is a bit unrealistic, but if you do 100% you never know what might happen... I hope it keeps coming off Well done!:clap:

I went to school with Tryphena and Tyranny. In my sons year they have Savannah and Ember (I spent a whole year calling her Amber til her mum eventually put me right) Oh and Vanda who had a baby and called her.. you guessed it Vanda (although she is now known as 'baby vanda'.

Hi jk I found that the first 3 days were the worst, not so bad after that, I am on day 16 and it's a lot easier now, just hope it stays like that. Well done on your decision to lose the weight and just imagine when your ex sees you striding out in your finest 'skinny' clothes, he may have to eat...

Oh dear, I drank some wine and had some peanuts (slap wrists). But we gave Nige a good send off, (have a safe journey dude, see ya on the other side). It has been an eye opener when someone of your own age dies suddenly, especially when we were organising the reunion in October. Anyway enough...

Hi Claire, I got terrible skin for the first week but it seems to have settled down now, just had my last shake of the day and got some old school pals coming round later, we are gettin together to remember a guy who we went to school with who died recently, unfortunately they will probably all...

Hi Emma, I was totally exhausted until yesterday when I made myself walk to the playpark with the kids, easy on the way there but all uphill on the way back, I felt shattered last night but today I seem to have more energy, so we have walked up to where my old school is being demolished (big...

I had a liqourice allsort earlier this week, and tbh it wasn't worth the guilt I felt, and it tasted weird aswell, so I aren't cheating again especially if what i eat tastes minging. Don't get upset about it just plod on and put it behind you, we're all human and can't be expected to be perfect...

Day 16, not hungry at all today, tbh could do without my shakes but best try to have them. Got new batteries for the scales but am gonna try not to weigh myself everyday. Next week is back to school Yippee!!!! so I can get some swimming done, I was thinking of rejoining the gym but that might be...

Hi Flowey, well done on losing 3 stone previously, I hope you manage to get to goal this time. I am on day 15 of SS and hanging on in there. Keep us posted dudette:hug99:

Sparkling water always fills me up, I drink it most of the time now, in a pint glass I can pretend it's cider..lol :beer8:

Had my WI today and lost 17lbs (in 2 weeks), next WI 15th Sept, and hoping to have lost enough to bring me down to the 2 stone mark (at least 11lbs). I feel really proud of myself, despite the Bertie Basset incident lol, :wee:

Cheers Emma, you're right it is a little easier now, but bertie bassett is my best friend. Anyway OH has eaten all the allsorts now so they're not going to torment me anymore. The guilt and disappointment I felt afterwards totally outweighed the taste of them. Going for my 1st WI tomoz so...

OMG I ate a liquorice allsort and my scales have flat batteries, why did I not buy spare batteries :doh:

My SIL is a dietician and said that although she wouldn't reccomend VLCD to her patients, that as far as she is aware they make people go into ketosis and only people who have underlying health problems i.e. diabetics are in danger of ketoacidosis. Wikpedia states that fasting causes ketosis not...

:wow:Yay I am mega proud of myself, I went to the pub after much cajoling and drank soda water, I was tempted to have a pint of cider but I didn't * go me, go me*. OMG I am in control of my cravings for the first time in years and it feels good.:happy096:

Has the vodka taken you out of ketosis or are ya ok still? I'm stayin in this arvo cos everyone is goin to the pub and I can't trust myself, major fed up cos I can't have a drink. You do right not been hard on yourself cos you can't change it, I hope you can stick to diet now for a while cos it...

Everyone is going to the pub this afternoon, so I am staying at home on my billy cos I can't trust myself not to cheat. Feeling very P'd off today (day 12):cry:

The weekend is here, the most difficult part of the week and to make it worse it's Bank Hol. 1 day at a time me thinks. At least the constipation has gone so my tummy isn't as painful. I have my 1st WI on Tuesday so at last I will be able to post a weight loss (hopefully) Hope everyone is well...

Thanks Gemzy, I'm not sure about inspiring though, all I seem to do is moan about stuff. I'm craving food tonight and would die for a glass of wine but will have to make do with water again 'sigh':sigh:

Cheers Natalie, I am on medication that stops my TOTM cos it was causing me too much hassle, so I can't blame that. I have been drinking at least 4 pints of water so I might try to up that intake a bit. Does anyone else feel really tired, I am on day 9 and still want to sleep for 12 hours or...

Have a good day shopping, don't beat yourself up over your loss, at least it wasn't a gain, you've done fantastic so far. Well done!

Day 8 - backache aswell as tummy ache today oh dear I hope the Senokot starts working soon or I might explode

Well done dude, what a star, I bet you can't wait for the tummy tuck! Congrats!

I have the same problem, when I was a kid I had to wear trousers in a bigger size and have the waist taken in, cos I have what my (skinny) brother calls 'tree trunk legs'. I have come to the conclusion that it's genetic cos all the women in the family are the same lol

Day 7 and I am unable to poo..........oh no!! Atrip to the chemist is in order. What I put myself through in the name of vanity *shakes head in disbelief* Hope everyone is well and not bunged up lol

Day 6 on Cambridge Diet (in big brother voice), and boy am I pleased tody is over, 5 kids stuck inside cos British Summertime can't be arsed to be decent, it's enough to drive you to the biscuit tin. Don't worry though cos even if I had gone to the BT there was nowt in it cos I never bought any...

I get on the scales everyday probably shouldn't though. I feel better now due to a siesta this afternoon while the family went to Whitby, I declined cos they were getting fish n chips from my fave chippy, so stayed home alone and had a kip. Just taking 1 day at a time as I don't have my WI till...

Feel awful this morning, hardly slept last night, just couldn't settle. Got up at half 5 cos my stomach was killing me, it's eased off now but I feel drained, hope I feel better tomorrow cos I have 4 mindees from 7.30-6.00

On the other side of the coin my neice is really thin & tall and when she went to Benidorm with her friends, a group of morons (male ones) followed them around calling her 'skeleton arse' & anorexic abbie. It totally ruined her holiday, she wishes she could put weight on but it's nigh on...

My OH and DS were going to have pizza tonight, but darling OH said he would go without to show his support for me (although I noticed he wouldn't give up his lager) and my lil sis said DS could go to theirs and have pizza with them, bless her. I am a childminder and have to cook the meals for my...

Hi Natalie I am on day 4 and yesterday and today have had bags of energy, but days 1 & 2 I was starving and tired all day and night. I think the reason I started feeling better on day 3 was because I had cut down on my carb intake for 10 days prior to starting SS, so it didn't take my body as...

Thanks Porgeous, I have about the same amount of weight to lose as you did, and I must say your before and after pics have just made me more determined to remain strong....Thanks Pauline xx

Got weighed this morning and have lost 6lb so have been buzzin all day. But tonight OH and DS are having pizza and X-Factor without a glass of wine just isn't the same so am feeling sorry for myself now. Never mind tomorrow is another day!

I am on day 3 of SS and after 2 days of being tired and hungry I actually feel a bit more energetic today, so much so that I cleaned the house from top to bottom and did some gardening (or maybe that was to take my mind of the hunger), either way I am sat in a lovely tidy lounge writing this. I...

What fantastic grandsons you have Irene, our first granchild is due in October, and I don't want to be too big to enjoy him/her growing up. Thanx for your support Pauline xx

Well done you, I started CD yesterday (19/08/09) and have my 1st weigh in on 1st Sept, I hope my loss is as good as yours. Keep it up Darl xxx Pauline

Hiya Everyone My name is Pauline I live in North Yorkshire, and after 5 years of being overweight and a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, I have decided to do something about it. I started the Cambridge Diet yesterday and so far so good although I am feeling really tired and hungry, but my CDC said the...

Hi Jackie, My name is Pauline and I just started the CD today, hoping to stay motivated although I am thinkin I should have waited till the kids went back to school cos I am exhausted after a whole day without my diet coke and sugar rush chocolates. Hope it goes well for you darl xx
