being quite new to the site can I save a thread as a favourite so it comes up when new posts arrive?

hi I am Tracey I am 39 and a half and not wanting the other half while I am still fat! I am a teacher from Grimsby, where I teach secondary school. I have lost 56 pounds with cd but lost more before that with weight watchers. I have been a serial dieter most of my adult life but the death of...

oh and also tastes change when I first started I couldnt stomach some flavours that I now actually love.

I prefer most of the shakes better warm it really is a case of finding what you like and sticking with it.

Thanks everyone I am just so mad with myself more than anyone that I allowed loneliness and emotion make me eat. I am sure I will be fine.

It started earlier this week when my daughter passed her gcse exams and I had chocolate cake. Since then all i have been able to do is think about food. Then last night I went out. Managed all night on 3 quid as I drank water from my own bottles, but the night was not good everyone else was in...

hmm probably the not having to think element and i love the capachinno ones.

lmao I once went on one and was unsure how i wasn't dead with the % it gave me.

I think Yuk about says it all it tasted like ground up indegestion tablets had been floated on the top of it.

I love Cambridge, not sure hwat the others are like but the variety of flavours and support of a cdc makes all the difference to me.

well done x

I have always been puzzled by these no idea how they work and always looks so improbable to me, although i am sure there is some scientific explanation.

oh nice thread my boots just got burned in a fire and the school has put in a claim for them so need a new pair.

will ask my friend if she wants to join she is love2ride but hasnt really got into the site yet, so not sure if she will want to.

well done you must be buzzing:) I don't think i will ever be a size 10 not because i am defeatist but because i think now i would be happy at a 14 of course starting at my heaviest at a size 28/30 it seems so small. Of course when I have been a size 16 i will want to be a 10 I am sure . Well...

welcome back x I haven't been here long myself but look forward to getting to know you any everyone else too.

Hi ya can I join I promise to try my best does best girl guides salute. Tracey x

cool and i love the program too.

The more i think about it the more upset I get. My father who i see approx 3 or 4 times a year came to see me last week and I was prepared for him to say wow haven't you lost weight, but not one word. He spent the whole time telling me how my s-i-l had lost 4 stone and looked fantastic. I...

thank you for all the advice, I am viewing ebay as we speak but i am not really sure what will suit me any more. As for Primark I pray for the day I can fit in their sizes but still to fat am a size 20/22. Have just been looking at car boot sales for the bank holidays yay for recycling!!

I love the capachino (sp) shake hot sometimes i add a teaspoon of coffee to make it stronger but it is fab

I m in a bit of a quandry nothing fits and I need to buy new clothes but I am only half way to my goal and don't want to spend to much. can't decide what i need to buy and what i can get away with not having. I have to be smart for work as a teacher but really dont see the [point in investing...

Well done you must be so happy x I went down from class 2 to class 1 obese last week and was obsessed with telling everyone. Now I am looking forward to overweight lol

eek hope you are ok I once being greedy spilt tomato soup with melted cheese all down me it was not pleasant. Hope you feel better soon x

I split some of mine so when at work 7 10.30 12.30 4.00 and 8.00 if I am not at work depends what time i get up but usually 9-10 12 3 7 10

hi All, I am new to the site but always looking for a challenge, so count me in if that is ok. I am feeling really motivated right now so together I am sure we can do it.

I am attempting to get dressed and looking through my wardrobe have nothing to wear. All my trousers now look like clown trousers, the only clothes that actually kind of fit are work clothes (ie smart skirts and blouses), I am a teacher. So in the summer holidays I am forced to dress smart to...

I know exactly how you feel, while I have a very supportive friend I also have one who is very well meaning. She is constantly saying how it must not be good for me and how I should stop soon as my bowel will pack in working as I havent eaten solids, how long term it should be banned etc. I know...

I love the gym and find myself feeling really virtuous when I get home. It is not just about exercise it is my break from daily life.

Well done, have to say it is something I have also struggled with. I recently moved house and blew it for a week but am back on track:)

i love it :( but hate the tomato one. In fact c+b is only supassed by oriental chilli which i could drink every day.

can i join in too please, just the motivation I need.

Phew, glad it isn't just me. It is a small price to pay for how great I feel otherwise :)

My CDC will swap sachets that I don't like as long as they are undamaged and in date. Have you considered ringing her and asking? I also don't like the apple and cinnamon one but I do like the original variety so maybe that is an option

I have noticed that every few weeks I have a real problem with my complexion, (without being disgusting) not merely little spots but massive sore outbreaks on my face. I am not sure if this is the diet or the fact I am exercising and sweating so much (eeww I know). I just wondered if anyone...

Oh well done I am nearly at that stage, I have lost 56 pounds and have 68 to go. I can't wait to hit that 50% mark

it was only as I was chatting to my friend about yesterdays wi that I realised just how many mini targets I had hit. Although individually I had acknowledged I had hit them I just didn't register what a good week it had been. First I lost 8 pounds, that in itself was monumental, secondly...

Team Needed Hi all, I am looking for a team to join. I am a 39 year old teacher from Grimsby with another 4 stone 12 to lose having lost 4 stone already. Tracey x

Strong mouth wash in a repulsively strong mint flavour stops me nibbling most things as they then taste foul.

Every time I go to the gym and then sigh and weigh myself when I get home lol.

Hi All, Firstly apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I am having a few site issues. Can anyone advise me if it is possible to see your own posts anywhere and track any responses that are added as I posted last night want to check if anyone added and can't find the blooming thing...

well done :)

sorry need to post again to say yeehaw my blooming ticker has finally worked!!!! and how good does it look:D

good luck x

In which case consider me joined. I have another 4 stone 12 pounds to lose having lost 4 stone so yep long road.

congratulations on the baby, I never believed I could do it but 12 weeks in I have lost 4 stone despite going on holiday and moving house and having a week off for each. Good luck T x

Hi All I am new to the site and have seen many people mentioning the challenges and teams and wondered how a person can get involved. I think it would really motivate me although I have a great cdc and a close friend who is also on cd, any extra support is always welcome.

What a nightmare. I used to use the scales at the gym and mine at home as well as the cdc's scales (yes I am obsessed). In one week the gym scales disappeared and the battery in my scales has gone (yes I am yet to replace it) I paniced all week till I weighed earlier today.

I do things like this all the time. I set myself up to fail or even sabotage myself so I fail, having thought about it I realised actually I was not happy being fat but I was comfortable. I have been fat so long it is like a security blanket and now I am losing weight I worry as I am no longer...

hmm just typed a long reply before I realised it had stopped typing is there a maximum post length? as it didn't seem to be that long

I am a tad disappointed that arleen (sp?) has been replaced she made the show much more interesting.

Wow didn't know that I do 400 cal's of exercise daily and have never increased my shakes. can I ask why you have to? My CDC has never mentioned it and we have discussed my exercise program.

I had a night off that ended up being a week, admittedly i was moving house at the time (yes an excuse I know). I ended up putting a pound on and the next day was torture!

Thanks to you both, I am an avid blog/facebooker so no doubt you will see much more of me!

Hi All, I joined the site the other day and despite my intial difficulties I thought I would post and say hi and introduce myself. I am Tracey, a teacher, following the Cambridge plan. I have already lost 4 stone, yay me, but have another 4 stone 12 pounds till my goal. Am taking it one day at...
