This is my second time of doing Cambridge. I have applied to NHS for bariatric surgery as my BMI is way over 50 at the moment. I have been seriously overweight for the past ten years and overweight all of my life. I am so uncomfortable I have to do something about it so along with my darling...

Well I feel quite sad, this is the end of my 4 week on CD, and unfortunately I can't afford to carry on. Like a lot of people money is tight at the moment and trying to see a son through uni and him losing his part time job has taken its toll, especially with Christmas coming up. I could n't...

Guess what there may have been a reason for only losing 1lb this morning I found out it was my TOTM. I'm 54 and thought all that had stopped, well for the last 10 months anyway. So perhaps thats why my weight loss has slumped.

Yep, its all a bit complicated, my OH pays for all the bills and food shopping, while my wages pays for the upkeep of two lads aged 20 and 15. The eldest is at uni and supporting him through it and he has just been finished up in his part time job. So the money I am saving my OH in food...

Thanks Mrs Taurus, I will look at the back of the book, and this diet has made me realise how I eat too many carbs (i don't like meat much). So I am going to count calories and eat a lot more chicken and tuna and less pasta, baked potatoes and bread.

:confused:Only lost 1lb this week - feeling really down as this coming week will be my last. I simply can't afford to pay for this diet any longer. Times are tight as they say. Gonna make this week my best and up my exercise. Lots of things going on at home which aren't helping and for the...

Great weight loss - well done. I have my third week weigh in tomorrow and for the first time I have slipped up a bit, picking sweets out of the trick or treat bag last night. I am worried now that it will affect my weight loss.

Hi Still just stick stupid bits of food in my mouth when making dinner for the family, I was very stressed last night as my baby grandson had a convulsion and was taken in to hospital - thankfully it was just a virus - I don't know why I eat when I'm stressed. I have pledged to myself that...

Maybe thats were I'm going wrong I am drinking 4 pints of water plus a couple of black coffees

Hi Becca I have never done a test, but I can't see how I wouldn't be. I haven't ate anything for over 2 weeks now. I do split my 3 meals over the day with porridge at 7.30, shake at 12.30 and bar or another shake at 5.30. I drink at least 4 pints of water a day.

On my third week now, and this is my first week back at work after having a minor op. When I get in from work I have to cook a meal for my family and I am absolutely starving. My youngest son comes and stands in the kitchen while I dish up so I can't eat anything, I wanted to stay on SS for at...

Well done for getting through the day. It's so hard and it must be especially hard if you are working shifts. I have just finished my second week and the hardest part has been cooking dinner for the rest of my family, its funny because some days are fine and some I have to keep my glass of...

Got weighed this morning and have lost 3lb, which makes 22lb in two weeks. I can't believe how much energy I have. I have decorated my sons bedroom this weekend. I am back in work after a hand op today so this is a good chance to get a real routine going, so am going to have a really good...

Hi all, Having terrible problems with constipation in the second week, had to go out and buy suppositories and dulcoease (sorry if tmi), I am going to drop the bars and just stick to the shakes and porridge. I feel really bloated and don't feel like I have lost anything this week. I don't...

I know I can't believe it, all I can think of is that I am a carb freak, I don't like meat and usually eat loads of pasta, baked potatos, bread and stuff like that. Also I'm very overweight and I am over the moon. :)

My first week ever of doing SS and I have lost an amazing 19lb - I can't believe it.

This is unbelievable Had first weigh in today in total in my first week I have lost NINETEEN POUNDS yep thats right 19 - motivated - not half roll on week 2:D

I did it - I didnt eat a thing - went up in the bedroom and watched a chic flick. Today I have been looking at all the before and after photo's and am inspired. Also ditched the soups for next week, really couldn't face them, though the shakes are fine. Looking forward to the wi tomorrow.:)

On day 6 of my first week and I have been seriously tempted, it was hard watching my 18month old grandson eating his lunch and helping him, and tonight my OH will definitely go out for his usual takeaway, tho he has said he will eat it away from me. Only got until Monday morning for WI so I...

This is my first week on CD SS (well day 5 and counting to the big wi on Monday). I go weighed on my 3rd day and have already lost 12lb. I have done it only with the help of these boards, I find I'm posting all over the place so I am gonna start a diary to help me. These first 5 days have...

Well here I am 5 days in and still haven't eaten a single crumb even when making shepherds pie for the family didn't touch the mash potato (a Miracle LOL). I am feeling better not so foggy, I do miss food sometimes, especially evenings I keep thinking about tuna salad or a prawn sandwich not...

This is turning into a sort of diary. This is day 4 still feel tired and lethargic, have just made a shepherds pie for the family dinner tonight, and I didn't even lick the mash that was stuck to the spoon :) I can't believe where this willpower has come from - I just don't want to spoil it...

Second Day - I feel rough, everything even tap water tastes sweet and horrible. I feel fuzzy and tired. Does it get better?

thanks for the support, off work sick at the moment - had a minor op on my hand, so finding it hard being at home. Had a porridge and a shake today, leaving my soup for 6 o'clock, dreading cooking dinner for rest of family think i will have to tape my mouth up.

This is the first time on CD and I just wanted to post my pledge here today that I am going to do this for one week. I am seriously overweight and fed up feeling like a second class citizen - so here goes wish me luck :)

here goes After failing at everything else I am starting CD on monday have one arm strapped up after minor op so thought it is a good time to give this ago i would like to lose 8stone but for now my goal is to do this diet for 1 week:D

Wow, have you lost 18lb in one week. Did you starve yourself to do that? I feel really bad now, I have been messing around for months at slimming world, and haven't even managed half a stone. You are amazing.

Thought a few of us might like to use this as a motivator for fighting the fat. Here are the top 5 (I could list 100) reasons for hating being fat. Never want to go out not just because I look fat but because I'm physically uncomfortable in theatre seats etc etc. Never feel smart or dressed...

Well I went back last night and had a chat with group leader who is wonderful, so today I'm back on track, I have brought a tuna salad to work and a couple of pieces of fruit and I'm making a curry recipe I found on this site for dinner tonight. Now I need to set myself a few goals. :)

Hi, yep I have loads to lose as well. Not even thinking about the total amount. I am thinking about 3 stone for now to get back into the clothes I bought 18 months ago. I have rejoined slimming world AGAIN. and tbh not being very positive at the moment but i will get my head around it.

Hi I am new to this site, and have re-joined Slimming World for the 999th time!!!! I have also made an appointment to see the Doc next week to see if she would be willing to consider me for Weight Loss Surgery, because to be honest I seem to be pretty hopeless at staying with this slimming...
