Okay, so today's my first day of restarting, and I'm already weakening! Not to the point of throwing in the towel, but just really really hungry. Just had my second shake, and managed to get through it just fine. But I'm just so afraid of the evening because that's the time when I really...

thanks Mrs. B. i didnt know bout the whole carbs thing :) thanks.. shall try again tomorrow.

thanks dragonfly & festivalfairy. but how much do you lose on SS+? i just keep thinking you wont lose or something :(

no worries love. i think i need that hefty boot up the arse. nothing else works :)

I'm just feeling really demotivated right now because I went off the rail for just one day and put on everything i lost last week. i just think it's not fair how it's always so easy to gain weight but so difficult to lose it. i'm on the verge of giving up but i hate being fat.:( i really...

Wow, that is certainly motivating! I won't be looking down on any amount of weight loss again, ever! Anyone have pictures of the 1lbs ones? ----

i'll be more than delighted with 10lbs :) Spooky - 14lbs karenO - 14lbs cherylxx- 14lbs gaynorEm- 14lbs Bren - inches and sit ups! Jools - 10lbs ScottishMum - 8lbs Festivalfairy - 10lbs UNREAL83 - 15lbs!:-) Kellymundy- 10lbs CeeKay - 14lbs Penpen - 12lbs aeross - 14lbs Redscarlet 14lbs...

hey Gaynor, thanks so much :) okay, shall stick to the light exercise now. And all the best for your remaining 8lbs. I'm sure you can do it! :)

hi guys, was just wondering if anything's ever been said about exercising while on the CD? I've heard and seen some cases before where people on CD who exercise find their weight loss slow down and stuff. Wonder if that's really true or if it's all just coincidental? I was thinking of adding...

Oh gosh, I used to think I was the only one facing all the horrid evening demons which have caused me to fail time after time, but am glad I'm not alone in that. Which means that you're not alone either. :) Sweetie, from now on, when it gets really tough at night, just tell yourself, you're...

oh no, guys, i wanna join too. but i think i'm probably going to be a day later because i'm restarting and haven't gone on to this site until just. :(

I'm back, will be starting tomorrow. I promise I won't freak out no matter what my weight is tomorrow because I'm going to get it right this time. *crosses fingers in ardent hope*

hi.. i know it's abit late, but can i join in on the xmas challenge as well? looking to lose 2.5 stone by then..

omg skinny monkey i just logged on to minimins after about 4 days cos ive gone so wrong and having so much trouble trying to stay on CD. and i was about to post exactly the same thing as you! looks like u have a good choice of slimming buddies already, but if you'd like i'd love to be one too...

Gonna take a break from CD for a while. Can't seem to stick to it. My eating problems have escalated and I'm now at my heaviest in 2 years. :wave_cry: Will consider starting in a month's time. Hope I'm still alive by then. :sigh:

Say Goodbye Even If It's A Pound of Fat Hello, do you know me? If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm Only One Pound, just a pound. Everyone wants to...

Water--The Fat-burning Liquid Copied from Icemoose... Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits...

anyways icemoose i saw u say something bout exercising durin CD and it actually slowing down weight loss? does it only refer to swimming or everything else? cos i intend to work on the cross trainer regularly soon. it's hi-cardio, but i don't really feel tired or anything cos i usually set it to...

thanks icemoose! that was really insightful i'm going to print that out and put it into my weightloss motivation book! anyways the discussion seminar's just this thing where the CD distributor company in singapore gathers those who are interested and let them know all bout CD and what it's all...

Wrap-up of Day 1 Today was abit messy if you ask me. I had my morning shake, and then for lunch I had abit of chicken and broccoli. Got really hungry in the afternoon so I had some chocolate with ricecrackers which is such a big sin I know. Even worse, in the evening, I totally heck-cared...

hey mike i was wondering, ive heard from everywhere bout how 'the more u drink the more u shrink'? does it work only for the first week or every single week? cos when i went for some CD discussion seminar here some wise ass says drinking too much may slow weight gain in the second week, and im...

thanks chica! :) Anyways, today's Day 1 of my totally renewed CD. I am going to nail it this time. It's 12.25 and I am about to start on my first pack. I have about 50lbs to lose, and I'm hoping that 5 months is enough for me to lose it all. Keep tryin and tryin...

thanks you guys :) anyways i was wondering would any of u recommend that i do a mixture of 790 and SS? will i mess up something that will affect my weight loss?

a cute one too!

This week has been horrible for me. The more I get lenient on myself, the farther I let myself go, and the more weight I put on. I haven't taken my weight, but I wouldn't be surprised if I gained everything I have lost over the last 2 weeks. I'd really love to give up, but I know I just can't...

Sigh.. the past week has been really horrible for me and I'm completely sure I've put on weight and everything. I started really well 3 weeks ago but I realized as the time past I just get more and more lenient on myself until eventually I'm trying to sneak as much junk into the diet as...

and thanks to all u others. that's great advice. i'll consider the one pack in the morn and spreading the rest out in the evening. :)

oh no dietingqueen, from past years, i've learnt that although i get full quick, i get real hungry very quick after that as well! :( that's what i'm really worried about.. :(

have u gotten a ticker yet? i got mine from Trying To Conceive Ticker then you just copy and paste the code (the bbcode one) and paste it in ur signature. it looks like a whole load of computer language crap but it'd come out just fine when u post. lol

have u just started on CD, szoes?

3rd weigh in tomorrow. :( everything is gonna turn out really really wrong. i just got this huge terrible sinking feeling. im thinking of doing SS again cos i'm cheating way too much on 790. sigh

Hi guys, just wanted to ask how you think i should go bout fasting month that's coming up in less than a week. this week was supposed to be 790 for me but i realized it only made me pick more so i'd like to convert back to SS. during the fasting month, we can't eat after 5++ in the morn, all...

szoes are u here for a holiday or u livin here? if u're living here, OMG its so cool ure livin on sentosa it's bout the best place id wanna be! and guess what, i'm so into picking as well! can't stop picking and picking. just took my weight and realized that i lost nothing this week!, can't...

My Latest Update Week 3 is coming to a close and I have absolutely no faith in it. Have been pinching and sneaking food way too much, I know that I probably won't have a good weigh-in this week, but I guess I only have myself to blame. Anyways, I've been going out with my mates over every...

lol i have no idea how to describe singapore to ya gdollery, but most tourists really love it here! thing is, we have real good food everywhere loads of 24-hr eating places and loads of shopping areas as well!! on the other hand, I've always wanted to go to england, so, lucky you :)

szoes! i'm livin in woodlands! u??

hey muffin top.. lol i get that alot.. sadly for us asians are built smaller and our healthy bmi range is way lower than you guys.. it's actually 18-20something but 17.7's really near! lol..

hey szoes! yep splash is right, i'm from singapore as well! and you're totally right there's isnt much support for CD dieters here. the only thing we have are the CD satchets themselves. no CDC, no nothing. but we could be cd buddies if u want?

hey gdollery! nice to see u around! :) i totally get what you mean. a few ppl have told me that too before and i find it weird cos there's loads of ppl here (not just the young girls lol) that're 40++ kg and they look perfectly normal. i guess it's cos we're asians so we're built differently...

just stick to it NSL-L. i'm telling u, it'd be worth it in the end. do whatever it takes. sometimes i just lock myself in my room and sob and feel all pitiful for myself and everything that i have to go through all this just to lose weight. eventually the hunger just disappears and u'll be fine...

omg if this works i'll grab it no matter how much it'll cost. but seems like they're only starting on the research. it's gonna be years before anythings actually happens then. :(

totally get what u mean, peachy1982. i'm supposed to be on 790 but am really messin about with it. wun be surprised if i dun even lose anything this week, and my weigh in's on saturday! *chews off fingernails nervously* well, am starting sole source for real tomorrow. really hope i can stick...

dont worry u two. this is possibly the best place to come to when ure on CD on any other VLCDs. there's so many of us here, and you'll find all the answers to any questions u have. there's so much support coming from everyone so stick around more! you'll find it really helps in motivating...

i am so positive u can do it! look how you stuck to ur guns despite the fact u were ill! and it paid off didnt it! youll lose so much more this week i'm sure! :)

lol i totally get what you mean chunkychicken. i really love that, and i find that it applies even to losses less than a lb, cos u just tell yourself that it even if it's as little as 0.2lbs, eventually itd just chalk up to 1lb which will then accumulate to even greaters lbs. :) and if all...

don't worry a thing about this sweets. ud definitely see a huge diff even in 2 months time, and ud be looking totally gorgeous for ur next do!

wow domino.. youve got some strong determination over here. keep it up, youre almost there! i'm rooting for ya!

isnt that good ur cup size is the same, as long as the inches are droppin droppin droppin!! :) lol keep it up bo lady! and it doesnt matter if u cheat here there and everywhere just as long as u dun lose ur will to continue on!

Just One Pound of Fat Okay I've finally tracked this one down. Really good motivational purposes lol. Hello, do you know me? If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants...

Thanks both you guys!! :)

thanks chika!! well SS was really difficult for me cos i'm such a picker when it comes to food.. so i'll always be feeling like i'm cheating cos i'll be nibbling and all! lol.. how bout you? you on 790 or SS?

Hi guys!! Haven't beeen around alot lately cos I'm just soooo busy from day to night!!! I feel so lost without logging on to the computer!!! LOL! Anyways, week 2 down, and I've only lost 2.7lbs this time. But that's cos I did 1000. Shifting up to 790 this time round. ANYWAYS, does anybody...

2 WEEKS ON, and this week, it's 2.7lbs. A bit on the low side, but only cos I've been on 1000 :) Shifting up to 790 now.

thanks cheb!! feels like ages since i've last logged on, been so busy and really really tired out. especially today, feeling so out of sorts and a lil miserable as well. :( well, tomorrow's another busy day. will update on sat, the 2-week mark.

omg this is turning out not as i want it to sound. canireallydothis, my P.S. is in reference to your nick, not the fact that u can change the title for me. now i sound like some stupid sarcastic ***** or something :(

thanks canireallydothis :) [P.S. I'm sure you can.] anyways, toots, yep. am singaporean. omg i feel that we should switch places or something cos ive always wished i was british, ever since i was like 11. lol! never been there though. one part of my dad's families live in london and my...

Wow toots you're serious!! have u been here before?? where u from anyways?

hey guys I was just wondering how many rep points give you one rep bar? lol.. and also, is there any way to change the title of ur thread? cos im keeping a diary on minimins, and would like to update my thread title from time to time :)

oh wow this is cool. definitely gotta keep posting stuff like that, CnQ. keeps us staying motivated and in the right mind.

OMg just look at you, hun! you've gone sooo far~!!! just keep it up and pretty soon, you'll be where you want to be!!! :)

And I also realized this is the first time I get to adjust the ticker and see i move. (OMG) usually I'd have to adjust the start weight because I totally messed up and increased my weight. Lol..

Yep.. cos i was expecting much more weight loss like somewhere close to 10lbs or something cos that's what everyone's losing during their first week innit. but i guess 4.8lbs is better than nothing. :) let us both lose more this week, since we seem to have had out TOTM last week. hee!

Thanks Girls!! (WEEK 1 RESULTS) hey guys, thanks so much for those messages.. Your messages really helped me to see things better. Cheb thanks so much seeing how I am to myself from another person's point of view really makes things much clearers, and Splash, I think ur idea is a really good...

thanks sweethearts.. looking forward to having a better week than the last one. :)

I never thought I'd be able to do this because I never made it through an entire week before, but... I FINALLY DID!!! This week was pretty awful. Was TOTM and really messed up my motivation cos it was only my first week and it was really something to see my weight going up and up even though I...

thanks girls, can't quite help feeling abit dejected though :(

It's my first week of CD and am currently on Day 5. It's really shitty because I've been so good but today I took my weight and I've put on 2lbs!!! I know it's definitely TOTM but I still feel like crap and I got so pissed that I went to sneak abit of food in. I hate it whenever TOTM happens...

Okay, here's the thing: I need to get the diet straight before I start exercising before it's really no use if I exercise and then I tell myself, since I exercised I can eat. I mean, what's the use I'm just defeating the whole purpose of the exercise in the end right? So, I'm not gonna...

Feeling So Hungry, Can't Stop Picking Sigh. What a day, starts out good, ends so bad. Guess it's TOTM, went to the gym but all of a sudden halfway through I felt so dejected so I left. Spent only a little more than an hour there in the end. Then throughout the entire day I kept picking and...

Start of Day 3-Feeling refreshed I'm not sure if it's because it's the start of the new week or because it's day 3 and I'm slowly easing into CD, but I woke up today feeling highly motivated and happy! I know it's only Day 3 and I'm not supposed to be taking my weight so early on but I did...

darlin u look wonderful! even though the 'after' pic's a bit blurry, you can tell that your face and definitely the body as well has gone down quite a bit! imagine, another 6 more weeks and you'd be even skinnier than your current 'after' pic! keep on keeping on hun!!!

Wrap up on Day 1 Well I know I only just posted moments ago but I wanna just call it an early day (I know it's only 8pm lol). Todayy was, mediocre, if we're judging by SS standards cos I've been sneaking food here, there and everywhere. But thing is, I've been goring down food like a pig for...

yeah! that's really great!!! wow!! i've only just started SS today and frankly it's been anything but sole sourcing cos Ive been sneaking food in here and there throughout the entire day! but you've given me so much inspiration and the right motivation to go on! thanks!!

Interesting topic on Cambrdige Diet Forum Just read about this thread in the CD forum about the 50 reasons/incentives to keep us going. It was really cool and so I thought I'd take out the ones that really applied to me, add on to the list, and make my very own 50 Reasons. 10 REASONS TO KEEP...

wow okay i've found so many that really applies to me as well, hope no one minds if i use them in my own diary thread for personal motivation and inspiration during the lows! got a few as well: Not aviod family gatherings/dinners anymore just because I feel too fat and ugly too meet anyone...

I've been trying to restart CD for the longest time, and for the past few days I've gained so much weight and being so put out thinking about how I was so much lighter in the past and how much time/money I've wasted. It's been really depressing for me over the past few years and this time...

Sigh, I'm finally back after so much ups and downs with CD SS previously. Truth be told, I'm close to giving up and I know that's not exactly the best way to go about thinking especially when I'm only just starting, but I'm just so jaded from trying too hard and too long. Will be starting on...

hi.. think i will be jumping on to the 790 wago next week. started out this week thinking i could do SS, but am failing miserably. will try to get through tomorrow and the day after next on SS as much as possible, then start 790 on monday. i must say, im particuarly inspired by ur weight loss...

how much do we lose on average if we go on 790? do we enter ketosis on 790 as well?

Sigh. I ended up eating a whole lot today and I just feel like such a loser. Officially, I started on Monday, but ever single day without fail, I'd manage to somehow sneak a little bite in here and there. I'd weigh myself everyday as well and since my weight was dropping I thought, hey, it's not...

lol.. thanks so much guys.. okay at least i don't feel so weird bout it anymore. and i came up with a better idea as well. as some of you are doing right now, i can probably just add a lil water to make it thick. i'd sure like to try that for my next pack! thanks!! :)

I realise that I've grown to like eating the powder of the CD meals. I know this sounds gross but when I mix it into a drink it always does finish ever so quickly and if I take it in a powder form, I can sit in front of the TV and just wile away the hours with just one packet cos i can take it...

oh dear, i meant absolutely IMPOSSIBLE. lol

hey gingernut i totally agree with SandraEG it is absolutely possible to lose so much weight and just simply attribute every single pound to 'water loss'. It's really absurd cos really, how much water do you think we have in us? 2 stone is too much to be just water or muscle or whatever. Trust...

Thanks so much you all.. I will keep you updated bout how it goes.. In the mean time, I'll try to gear up for Saturday in whatever ways possible :)

Oh no.. I don't know why they've got to do this but my dad's birthday is this Sunday and my bro & sis planned a BBQ on sat, AND dinner on sun. I know I'm gonna come across as being selfish for saying this considering that it's HIS birthday, but I really wish they'd just squeeze it into a day...

Hey Fuzzyduck and Fingerscrossed.. wow, i'm really touched bout your concern. Hmm, I must admit that I didn't really check out what the BMI of my ideal weight would be. Well, either ways I still some weight to lose. I'll just take it from here and see how it goes. Probably will raise my goal...

lol I'm about 5'3", not sure if that's short or anything. Kinda in the middle I guess? Anyway, I'm only on Day 1 of SS and I'm already dying. Was okay in the morning and afternoon, but I'm getting really hungry now and I'm so tempted to eat.. :(

Hi guys, I'm wondering how come I'm the only one who can't have a nice and proper signature! I seem to have a character limit, but I've been surfing around and it seems like loads out there have really long and cool signatures! And also, I can't seem to load an avatar cos I can't even reset...

Yep I'm with ya, Fingerscrossed! I'll join in your August Challenge! I just started today, in fact! Always found it much more motivating when I start a diet together with a fresh week! I've never gone past Day 2 on CD-SS before, so I'm really determined to get through this time round! And...

Keep On Keeping On! Aww.. sorry to hear bout you forgetting to bring your CD satchets, but you've got to keep on yeah!! Don't think about it! Surf the sites, walk around! The hunger's nothing compared to what you're gonna feel if you actually do eat! all the best!!! :wavey:

Hi, I am about to re-start CD for what looks to be the millionth time, and this time I am really determined to stick it through. I've been trying so many methods to lose weight and I keep failing each time around. Even when I was on CD, I never managed to get past the 1st or 2nd day. I feel like...

Sorry I meant I AM 135, and would like to lose 25. Oops :D

Hi I'm gonna be starting on CD today and I'm so excited. I am looking to lose about 135lbs and I am looking to lose about 25lbs. I was just wondering, because this is essentially a liquid diet, I believe that a certain amount of weight will definitely be gained back the moment we start eating...

Hi, I would like to find out more about how much your girls out there gain just before/ during menstruation? They say that drinking lots of water helps to eliminate such weight gain, but it doesn't seem to work for me. This makes me feel even more afraid cos it's making me draw all sorts of...

I was just wondering how do you do the test to tell if you're in Ketosis??

:) thanks so much. I'd love to have some CD buddies. From where I come from, we don't have CD counsellors so it's really hard to stick on. I really hope I can get through at least one week. cos ive never gone past day 2. so if i can do it this time round i'll feel so motivated to carry on...

hi there i intend to start on the cambridge diet SS tomorrow, but I would like to hear more from fellow cambridge dieters and their own personal experiences? personally i've tried to get on CD for the longest time but I always have trouble sticking to it. i can't even get past the first day, for...
