Hi all, I did very well with cambridge a couple of years ago and kept the weight off, then I fell pregnant, and carb galore. I am now 14 stone, and at 5"6 gives me a BMI of 31. I start cambridge on Monday, and I can't wait. I hate being fat again, hate it, and I am so miserable all the time...

I think I will be at goal by then, but even if I am not christmas day I will eat and drink exactly what I want, boxing day etc etc will be back to CD, or if I'm at goal, low carb.

So, the title says it all really, I have now lost 50lbs in 15 weeks. Not long to go and I will have a normal BMI. My tracker is to get me down to 10 stone, however ideally I would prefer to be around 9-91/2. The way things are going I should easily achieve this by chrimbo. I feel so much...

Hello all, sorry I haven't posted in a while. Not sure if any of you remember but I have Bipolar and have been and still am quite unwell (currently in a mixed episode), probably my own fault for stopping my medication when I thought I was well. Problem is, my doctor has put me back on...

Another 3lbs gone, really starting to notice it now, and 'in the groove'. I am addcited to chicken and mushroom soup, and that is all I have had with the peanut bars from day one really. I love it!! Tried the Orientel chilli tonight, and hmmm, just weird, not horrid, just felt like I shouldn't...

Week 5 and another 5lbs gone. That's 22lbs. I'm sure I would be closer to the 2 stone mark had I not had steroids, but I'm happy with that. Not long now and I will be 'overweight' instead of 'obese'. Starting back at university in September after a year of having being diagnosed with...

Hi all, sorry I haven't posted for a while. Things are still going well, im just coming out of week 3 and have now lost 16 pounds. I probably would have lost a bit more, but have been on steroids for the past week, so any loss on steroids is good!!! Also, I have been starving all week, again a...

I have a feeling my scales are right though. My friend who went for medical was 11 stone. 11.1 on one of mine and 11.2 on the other. He only went for medical last week. He also weighed himself at a sevice station and was 11.2. Oh well...we'll see!

Hi, thanks for your replies, I weighed at home fully dressed before going to CDC's house. Which is 5 mins away, no water between visit, and exactly the same clothes...Yet 11lbs more! Weird huh!!! I am going to do this straight before I go to see CDC this week. Boots is only round the...

I understand what your trying to say, but I meant I would never be in a size 18 pants at 16 stone, as I was wearing size 18 pants at 14 and a half stone. My scales at the start said I was 15 so it would make sense that my 18's would still fit me. But they would be incredibly tight at 16 stone...

I've only tried the chicken and mushroom and veggie at moment. But I am, and have been addicted to the chicken and mushroom soups all week. Janey

Hi all, im doing good, and diet is going really well. However... When I started this diet last week, I was nearly 11lbs heavier on my CDC's scales!!! :O I had same clothes on and weighed before I left for CDC's at home, it was when I was setting off for appt, so no water gain. I got my...

I got one of these when I started this diet Sunday, and it has been a godsend. Just make sure you wash it as soon as you have used it, and don't get the bottom wet :D Janey

10 pounds lost!! I'm happy with that. Feeling really positive. I know I will do this, I know I can, and I will!! Its incredibly easy, and I feel amazing. Roll on day 8, 9, 10 etc etc :D Janey

Day 6, went out last night. First time I have ever gone out without drinking. Stayed on diet coke all night. Was out from 8 till 2am :O. Had a really good time, even though I was sober, the only issue is the smell of other people talking to you with a beer breath, urgh minging...

Day 5, another pound gone. So that's 9 pound in 5 days. I'm happy with that. Also tried a chicken and mushroom soup yesterday,how lush are they, I love them. Off out tonight, I know I will be good and not cheat. Roll on day 6 :D Janey

Yeah, im aware of the diet coke thing, but number 1 I can't stand the taste of full fat coke (which is what coke zero tastes like) and number 2, where I go out they only have diet coke. 2 cans isn't going to harm me im sure, and on Atkins, it never knocked me out of ketosis. You have to plan...

Day 4, and another 2 pounds gone. Thats 8 pounds in 3 days, I am still inclined to believe this is still water loss. But again, i'll take it. Went out last night and managed to stay on diet cokeand water, took a nut bar with me, and managed to get through. I'm enjoying the feeling of being...

Still going well, and another 3 pounds gone. 6 pounds in 2 days, probs still water loss, but i'll take it :D Janey

So I am in to day 2, had a good day yesterday, feeling even greater today. Just had a hot choc mint, lush or what!!! But those nana teatra's taste and smell like iron tablets, urgh will have to change them. Down 3 pounds overnight, obviously water loss but hey i'll take it. Loving this...

First day for me, but count me in! Janey

I have been to see CDC got all my products for 2 weeks!!! I was 11 pounds more on her scale than my 2 at home :O Went and bought a kenwood frothy in argos, reduced to £19.99! Made my first shake, strawberry, surprisingly nice and also quite filling. I will do this, I know I will...

Hi all just to let you know I found coke zero, fanta zero, lilt zero, sprite zero and dr pepper zero all in sainsburys today

When I did Atkins I drank mounds of diet coke all the way through, hardly any water (i know bad) and lost 6 stone in 8 months, so it defineteley didn't knock me out of ketosis. Is it incase it knocks you out? Or something else? Just I know from Atkins that it defineteley didn't effect me like...

Thanks, but what's the problem with the citric acid. Sorry if that's a stupid question lol!!

Whilst on Atkins Diet coke and diet lemonade were a godsend to me and ddin't effect weight loss at all. I have read in a few places that this is not ok on CD, first of all can I ask why? Also what else other than water as in soft drinks are allowed. I don't drink coffee/tea, or much water really...

Hi, I posted a few days ago about thinking of starting CD. I have got in touch with a CDC and I will be starting tomorrow. I lost 6 stone on Atkins last year, in around 8 months, but have put it all back on due to a few courses of steroids and lots of crappy carb load eating. I know I can...

No, no special diet, have asked consultant, and he thinks loosing some weight may actually 'help' the MS. I mentioned cambridge to GP, and he is fine with it. He knows how much work I did on Atkins, and knows if I start Cambridge for a month or 2, then go back to Atkins, it will kick start me...

Thanks for your replies. Have emailed a few CDC's.

Hi all, im Janey and im 27. I was 8 stone 13 after loosing 6 stone last year on Atkins, im 5"6. Got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis soon after and then went onto steroids, lots of food + steroids = 6 stone back on again . I have been trying and trying to get back into Atkins, but im finding...
