Hi everyone, I'm coinoperatedgirl, I'm 23 and I'm struggling to overcome a binge-eating problem and a very real addiction to food. I'm currently doing a VLCD - 'All About W8'. I'm in my third week (and quite astonished to have made it this far) and so far I've lost 15lbs. I have about...

I'm currently doing All About W8 which costs £49 a week. I think this is cheaper than Lighter Life and around the same as Cambridge, provided you're on four mealpacks a day. The products are pretty much the same as Cambridge. I think most of the products on VLCDs are much of a muchness, give or...

Hope you're surviving! I'm quite pleasantly surprised at these CD packs -- I've had a strawberry shake, a chocolate shake and a potato and leek soup so far and they're all very yummy! I was so scared I wouldn't like anything. I like the soup the best so far even though my CDC was telling me...

Imperial for weighing and measuring myself because like Enough said above, knowing I am 118 kgs does not have much effect on me, but knowing that I am 18st 9lbs or 261lbs really does. I guess it's just because when it comes to (body) weight, imperial is pretty much used right across the board in...

Hi parisbeach, I'm starting today too :-) Just had my first shake (I had to drag myself up at 10am because i'm a lazy student bum type) - strawberry and it was quite yummy :D I was worried about not liking anything but now at least I know that I like that. It tasted a bit like Angel...

I'm 23 tommorow and I've been fat since my early teens. That, combined with a severe period of mental illness from about the ages of 15-21 has effectively meant that I have never really got excited about clothes and fashion: either because I couldn't fit into them and therefore there was no...

Hi crimson vixen, I'm going to be starting Cambridge sometime next week too :) I look forward to hearing how you are getting on! I'm very impatient at the moment, having to wait for a GP appointment etc before I can begin. Raring to go :D Best of luck on your journey!

Hi all, I have an appointment to see my GP so he can (hopefully) sign my form. I have no idea what kind of reaction I will get from him, but in case he refuses or isn't too sure then I want to be prepared. Can anyone recommend any bumf that I can print off and take along with me that'll work in...

Really enjoyed watching those! The difference is absolutely astounding! Hearing you express your feelings about Cambridge so intelligently and positively has made me want to try this diet even more. Best of luck with your next 50lbs! :D

Littlemonstersmum -- may I ask what capacity blender bottle you use? Just been looking at some that hold different amounts - 500ml, 700ml etc. How much is a Cambridge shake when it's made up (i.e. how much water do you add?)

Thanks for your advice everyone (and thanks for emailing me, Miss Piggy!) :) Think i'll be able to work something out -- I might have to travel a wee bit, but on reflection, I really want to do this diet so it might just be worth going out of my way a bit. Re: Mrsessex - I guess you're right...

I agree: I wish the option was there to buy straight from Cambridge too. I understand you're supposed to have a counsellor for advice / expertise / support but maybe they could develop some sort of alternative email/online counsellor system for those of us who have awkward schedules, don't drive...

Thanks KD! Well, I expect the weather in Bournemouth might be a little bit better than in Glasgow...:gen125: I have just filled out the Counsellor Referral form on the website, which I think is the equivalent to ringing that number :) Here's hoping!

After spending a few weeks reading up on Cambridge and weighing the pros and cons, I decided to take the plunge and contact a counsellor. The first one I chose did not visit client's homes and only offered appointments at her home. It's a wee bit away from where I live and I don't drive so I'd...
