I feel huge, like wherever I go everyone is judging me because of how I look. I don't go out shopping because I know I won't look good in any of the clothes - I'm a size 12:( - When I go to the takeaway to get food for my boyfriend I know people are thinking what a fat, greedy pig I am, buying...

Been in a bad mood lately, cheated last night:sigh: And I thought about it and basically realised it was because of the lack of support:( From my family, my friends, not even a helping hand on minimins. I suffer from compulsive over-eating and bouts of depression due to SAD and it really is SO...

24/02/10 Well I cheated:cry::sigh: A cashew nut turned into 15 and then internet/phones/sky went out (was home alone) and I literally had nothing to do. Plus it was 10 o'clock at night so it wasn't like I could take a quick stroll outside, unless I wanted to get stabbed of course. So I had a...

I've lost another two pounds! Brings me up to a grand total of 6lbs lost :) Great losses everyone:D

23/02/10 Finding it very hard not to eat at the moment:cry: Already had two of my porridges and is not even 4 o'clock!:sigh: Better than cheating I s'pose, weighing myself tomorrow morning and hopefully should see a good loss! Really wanna get down to at least 12 stone 10lbs - I'll have lost a...

Haven't posted properly for a bit so...update: I'm now down to 166lbs!! 11 stone 12lbs, hoping to lose some more this week, tried both the porridges and they are AMAZING:eek::D So now living off them, lol. But yeah, 12lbs lost and 36lbs left to lose! Looking forward to when I've lost more than...

Just thought I'd update - I've lost 4lbs!:D 16lbs to go! Big well done to everyone!:D

22/02/10 I have officially lost 12lbs - a quarter of the weight I need to lose:D Went to see my CDC today - only been 5 days - and have lost 4lbs since last time! Although I need to lose 6lbs by the time I start my new job, and I start in a week! I hope I can do it:rolleyes: After that I'll...

Porridge - no suggestions, it is AMAZING. I could live off it permanently quite happily:p

Congratulations, that's amazing:D

19/02/10 YAY! I am now officially back in the 11's! 11 stone 13lbs! Which I am EXTREMELY happy about, only 37lbs from my goal, 7lbs from my new job goal and 19lbs (I think) from the Lent challenge!:D And the porridges - AMAZING! I love them, I'm going back to my CDC on Monday to swap some...

Totally agree:p:D

Seems really quiet here at the moment... :sign0163:

16/02/10 Weighed myself again today and lost another pound! I'm now 12 stone exactly! 38lbs to go I think! And I've lost 10lbs since starting! So...10lbs in a week and a day:D And only 8lbs to lose for my mini-goal of March 1st (new job!:p) Still waiting to hear back from the Royal Veterinary...

What IS it with family members and saying this?! My mum came over today and saw I was doing CD again and was like "You don't NEED to lose weight! You're not fat" :banghead: Sorry but have you seen me naked, woman?! She went up to 12 stone when she stopped smoking and all she did was complain...

15/02/10 Weighed myself again! Lost another pound:D Makes me 169lbs! Only 39lbs to go! Still waiting to hear back from the Royal Veterinary College:sigh: Although even if they say they don't, there is quite a few accelerated Veterinary Science courses if you have done a related undergraduate...

Thanks :) And I weigh 12 stone 1lbs at the moment:cry::p

I prefer having something to physically eat and have only just realised CD does porridge!:D But is it actually nice? Obviously I can sweeten it with tablet sweeteners but is nice without having to load it up with sweeteners?

Well, seeing as I'm starting CD again I think I may as well start a new journal, not that the old one was that fantastic. I'm currently 170lbs, started at 178lbs aiming to get down to 130lbs! At the moment all I do all day is sit at home. Doing nothing so it's EXTREMELY difficult not to go...

Hey again everyone, changed my username - walkerscrisps = RedCrystal. :) Stayed the same weight over the weekend, still at 12 stone 2lbs. Starting my new job on the 1st March so won't be able to cheat, have cheated over the weekend *face palm* but haven't put on weight so have been lucky...

Well Done on the job! And yeah I definitely think people judge you, I just feel when people look at me they're like "dear god, its a hippo" and that's why I don't really go out anymore, but I think when you lose weight, however much, you do gain confidence and I think people will see you in a...

That dress is AMAZING! I may have to buy it (in a size 8) when I get paid and save it for my holiday (on which I will be thin!) Good luck, you'll be wearing it in no time! :)

Those are THE coolest nails I've ever seen :P

Just weighed myself and I've lost another 2lbs! Brings me up to a grand total of 8lbs loss in 5 days! :) Which makes me 12 stone 2lbs - 2lbs away from my first goal! Oh, looking at my goals, one of them is "Get into a size 12" - I might have just achieved a goal without realising it :P Hopefully...

Thats so exciting! Hope you get the result you want:bliss:

Hey everyone :) Weighed today, lost another pound! So thats a 6lb loss! 42 to go!! :P Hope everyones okay! :)

Oh okay, I was just going on what I did last time (23lbs or so in 3/4 weeks I think it was) hopefully I'll be as lucky this time :P

I'm now on day 3 of CD (day 4 in 2 hours, lol) and I've lost 5lbs!! Although I was 12 stone 10lbs *cry* So 178lbs to start and still got a goal of 130lbs, 43lbs to go! Hoping to make it there in 2 months, is that a reasonable amount of time on SS?

Well I haven't been on in a while. I've gained a stone. So back up to 12 stone :( Hopefully starting CD again within the week if I can find a CDC close enough to me. Goal weight is 130lbs still and I'm 168lbs right now, so I have 38lbs to lose. I lost 22lbs in the first month last time (or...

Haven't been on either! Sorry! Unfortunately I had an infection and had to come off CD. However, all good now! Started yesterday and had cereal and scrambled egg and nutri grain bars + CD shake...lost a pound! Was up at 11.7, but now at 11.6! Hopefully I can reach my goal still!

I know the results have already been collected but just to make it easier to see how much I've lost next week, this week I'm down from 11.5 to 11.0!! 5lbs lost!! :)

Hehe, thanks night-owl :) So I treated myself just now, a piece of chicken and a few chips from the local fish and chips, it was from my OH's plate. And I don't feel bad about it in the slighest, because I know I wasn't so desperate for it that I went over the top, I had one bit of chicken -...

Not weighing myself till monday morning! Eek! hopefully be then I'll definitely be in the 10's!! Omg i'm actually 11 stone!! Thats the lowest I've been since I was like 12...i was such a fat child, lol.

Well done on the loss! Its better than a gain :) and on facebook [email protected] if you wanna add, but I'm NEVER on. like ever. lol. :)

Haven't been on for a while because I didn't want to post of my failure. I was sure if I weighed myself I would be nearing the 12's again, and my life would be over, lol. Buttt...weighed myself this morning! 11 stone!!!!!!!! *happy dance* omg! that means its only 8lbs to go till i reach my...

Hii everyone, haven't posted in a couple of days. TOTM unfortunately :( Gone back up to 11.6. Really gutted, going to ask my CDC if I can skip my weigh in this week. Hopefully it'll have dropped by my next weigh in. Going to work extra hard to get lower than 11.2 by this time next week! Was SO...

Yayyy!! Congrats to us! And congrats to enlightenme especially!!

yay :) congrats everyone!!

Well done for not giving in today :) Just throw the sweets out, they're not doing you any good so they might as well go in the bin. Thats what I did to all my sweets, mum purposely left a pack of giant chocolate buttons out and I chucked them out cause they were too tempting. :)

Thats amazing!! Congrats :)

Weigh in - 6lbs lost!! Weighed myself this morning and no loss, but better than a gain :) Hope everyones doing great :)

unfortunately not chocolate, lol. and i know :( but tbh, what i was eating before was WAYY off the RDA, so i guess its better than nothing. and the 3 CD's a day and nothing else was making me crave chocolate, so if 2 CDs and egg is working for me, i'd better stick to it if i wanna get to my goal...

Not entirely sure, but me and night-owl both have our weigh in on Wednesday...i think? Lost another pound today! 11.2!! Getting closer and closer to the 10s! And only 10lbs to lose until the next stone is gone. Seems my diet of 2 CD shakes and some scrambled egg is working :) Hope everyones...

:) Weighed myself this morning and 11.3!! Another 2lbs lost :) Only 11lbs to lose till I reach my next stone :) Hope everyones great :)

Hehe, it was a giant chocolate button so it has to count for at least three :P And wow! Thats a load of exercise, been very lazy this week :( But its been cold and I haven't had the energy, lol. And good to know :) I think I'll be doing two CD shakes a day and some scrambled egg for dinner. I...

Couldn't give in and weighed myself... 11.5!! I haven't gained a pound! Yay! Definitely motivated me to stay on track from now on. :D Hope everyones doing great :)

Eek, haven't been on for a couple of days. Ate some scrambled egg (CDC said its high in protein so there's no reason why not) and I just ate a chocolate button. Evil little *******. So starting afresh tomorrow, got weighed by my CDC - 11.5! Woo, so not going to weigh myself till like Sunday or...

Grr, ate some quorn today, threw it up an hour later (sorry TMI). Has anyone else had a problem digesting food on CD?

No my CDC actually measured me last time and I'm actually 5'6 :( but I measured myself a couple of months ago and I was 5'8, but I'll go with my CDC's advice :)

haven't even started my xmas shopping lol, and i drink 3 litres of water a day plus 3 CD shakes, either chocolate or mint chocolate. everything else makes me gag, lol. and agree, all headache/migraine tablets should be freee :) oh, and i was 175lb when i started, now 160lbs, woo!!

On SS+ or 810? I'm dying for an omlette (egg + daily allowance of skimmed milk! Woo!) And if so, how many grams? (Guessing either one or two eggs..)

Good luck littlegem!! And thanks night-owl, definitely motivated me :) I have 5lbs to lose until i enter the 10s!!! The lowest I have been in YEARS! I'm so excited :) Was riding my bike today and I looked down and my legs looked amazing! They didn't even look like my legs! Lol, definitely...

you know you're on CD when you dream of lying on a bed surrounded by burgers and chips...lol.

I weighed myself this morning and I've lost another pound!! Yay :) Was getting difficult last night though...had dreams of lots of burgers and chips. Lol... Only 13lbs to go till I lose another stone, yayy, hopefully I get into a size 10 before then :) Hope eveyones okay :)

littlegem, i suffer from migraines and have these tablets called migraleve, they work incredibly well for my headaches and you can buy from over the counter in boots and stuff, so you maybe could try them as they help me really well and my headaches are impossible to get rid of with everything...

Yay :) Hope I can keep it up. Haven't managed to weigh myself today cause I've away from home. So hopefully have a loss tomorrow morning. Hows everyones day been?

Congrats :)

Only been on it 8 days but I've lost 13lbs :)

Its 8 days into my CD diet and I've lost 13lbs!!! I've practically lost a stone in just over a week. One more lb and I'll have completed three of my goals!!! 2 more lbs and I will be a third of the way there. I can fit into nearly every pair of jeans I have, officially I am a size 12. As...

Weighed myself this morning and I've lost 13lbs!! 1lb off a stone! :O Very excited :) I'm practically a third of the way towards my goal, and its only day 8. Hope everyone is doing great :):):)

Thanks Kelly :) Hope you do well over the weekend :)

OMG! :O I have 10 pairs of jeans, 9 of which I couldn't fit into last week. I now fit into 7 of them! :D But they're all size 12. So I think I can definitely say I'm now officially a size 12!!! :talk017: 2 of my goals reached in the first week!! Hope you're all doing great :)

Hey everyone :) Weighed myself right before I went for my weigh in and mine and CDC's scales are the same, weighed myself this morning and I've lost 12lbs!!! Certainly won't be having any food anytime soon either, this is too good to give up :) Hope everyones okay:) Oops, forgot to say I'm now...

I ate veggie sausages, but, I don't think that was why I felt ill, I think I have IBS :( I nearly collapsed trying to walk, not fun. But strangely its gone now. But I think I'll stick to sole sourcing for now...

Hope everyones okay :) And quick question, when you eat for the first time after sole sourcing for a few days is it normal to feel a bit sick? And good luck with the restart kelly :) Hope you don't get a headache!

Its brilliant :) And well done to you too! Are you sole sourcing or sole sourcing plus?

:DI lost half a stone in 5 days! Yay :) And littlegem why don't you get a 1 litre bottle, its what i have :) And well done to everyone doing so well. I explained everything to my mum Frances, she's a bit more understanding now. My CDC said one I lose another half stone I have to come off sole...

Hope you have a good day :) Day 5 today! Still strictly SSing. YAY :) Weigh in tomorrow, mum still nagging me about "you can't live on that!!" so bloody annoying!!! Just cause she's 7 stone and has never been like I am, she doesn't know how horrible it is being the size I am, and how I want to...

Happy birthday!! :) (for tomorrow)

Thanks night-owl :) I haven't cheated once, haven't even thought about it, lol. Exercising may be a bit much at the moment, felt really faint whilst cycling and nearly fainted at college today, oops. But, good news! Spoke to my dad and he said I could borrow 40 quid! :O I asked if I could borrow...

Thought I'd better update :) Weighed this morning and have lost a total on 9lbs! Which means I'm into the 11's :) Finding day 3 very hard but have stuck to it. Not really feeling hungry but dunno how to get to my CDC's house as its about 4 miles away and I don't have a car. Grr. Plus I don't get...

Day 3 on CD is killing me!! Went downstairs to make my shake and OH asked me to make him a curry, and then there was jelly and brownies and all kinds of crap in the kitchen. *cries* I didn't have any (shake and green tea) but I wanted some soo bad. Please tell me this feeling goes after a while...

So I weighed myself on my scales this morning - 166lbs - 9lb loss!! Not counting on it too much though, hopefully my CDC's scales will be as kind, if not I'll have to make sure it is :) Hour + of cycling a day for me :)

So I just changed my stats, goal date is Dec 24th!! 54 days! I HAVE to lose this weight by then, I cannot be big for Christmas. I wanna be completely happy for Christmas, I want to fit into the clothes everyone bought me two years ago for Christmas. I have 9 pairs of jeans I can't fit into plus...

Great motivation :) Going to be so happy when I reach my GW :)

Yeah :) just think of all the clothes you could buy if you stuck to CD :)

Maybe just think of all the clothes you can get into when you've lost what you want, and all the things you can do to keep you motivated?

You've lost 50 pounds so far! Thats amazing! You've achieved a lot in time for your birthday :)

Lol same, slight headache, but drinking lots of water, and taken a couple of paracetamols, whats your goal weight?

Read about logging on every day and thought I'd do that as much as possible, so, hi :) Day two and I've just had my first shake, need to have my first litre of water soon, lol. And I need to clean up the entireeeeeee house, but I guess that'll be good exercise. Probably be posting a lott here...

I think green tea helps, I'm allowed that so going to be drinking gallons of it over the next few weeks!

anyone got any ways of dealing with the initial desire to eat? its killing me! theres sooooo much food downstairs. grr

Wow congrats!! A stone in 26 days is amazing! I hope I do as well as you :)

Congrats! I hope I can do that well in my first week :)

Hehe, same with chocolate too, although I have a supply of chocolate shakes to keep me going. And thanks :) I'm sure I will now I have other people to talk to about it, everyone here is so nice its amazing, lol :) My weigh day is Wednesday aswell, so that should be perfect. :) Although I don't...

mrsessex - yeah my CDC talked it through with me and I thought I should listen as she knows best :) jules75 - that seems like a pretty good plan :) i might do that when i've lost a little, how much did you lose in your first week? :)

Yay :) Thank you, my name is Abby :) sorry about the crisps thing, lol. At the moment I'm on sole source till I get my BMI down to 25, then I can start introducing food. My CDC said I could get to my goal by Christmas!! So happy, lol, now I just need to make sure that happens, lol. :)

thisisit120lbs - i'm sole sourcing till i get down to a bmi of 25, then starting to introduce food :) how are you finding it? jules75 - apparently you're right, lol, i just went to see my CDC and she said she has to make sure i'm at a healthy weight and anything below 20 is considered unhealthy...

hi thisisit120lbs, good luck :)

Hi :) Just started the Cambridge diet today and was wondering if there was a space on your team as I'd love to join :)

Thanks :) Will do, might put that in my sig actually... and its a BMI of 18.5. So its healthy, but not underweight. :)

Okay so I start the Cambridge Diet today. Never done it before, have tried to diet previously, but I've always done it on my own...and failed. Quite miserably. So, I WILL lose at least 3 stone by February. Ideally 3 and a half stone. I'm currently 5'8 and 170lbs. My goal is 120lbs. A glorious 8...

Hey :) I started CD today and want to lose around 3 and a half stone by Feb. Any places available? :)

Hi, starting the Cambridge diet today, have about 3/4 stone to lose, any places available? Would love to join a team :)
