Well I feel utterly miserable today and fat :(
I need to remember this feeling when I finally start CD, I am itching to get going and start watching the weight melt away. I have been reading all of the diaries on here and I need to remember that by september/october I could be at goal and living...
I haven't started CD yet but at the moment I am so motivated I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to capture all these thoughts so I can look back on them when I want to chew my own arm off on day 3!
A bit of background, I have tried and failed with many diets over the years each time a little...
I am a student and considering starting CD again and just wondered what kind of impact it has had on your student experience? Has it affected concentration at all as my course is pretty full on. I am also worried that my housemates will find out what I am doing, I live with boys who are quite...
I am currently a student and the lifestyle is taking its toll on me! I am debating starting exante, I have done CD and WW before to no avail!! I like the look of exante because they are doing the bumper pack and on a student loan this is crucial and also because I can eat if I want to because of...
lol im not blaming the diet as such but the fact that i had gone without food then all of a sudden as soon as i had a ss+ meal went on a rampage!
i will indeed update my stats lol

i know, its so frustrating because what i ate wasnt even nice! i had a horrible omlette and supernoodles!!!
i want it so bad i really really need to stick to this, badly
i think it didnt help that i knew there was a family meal happening tonight and i was trying to sabotage early to give me an...
i was doing fine until i had some cottage cheese and bam, that was it i wanted to eat everything in sight
so a SS restart for me 2moro
at least i know what triggered it
failure!
so i dont have to lower myself onto patio/pub garden furniture with extreme caution!
also not worry about sitting on a bench and propelling whoever is sitting next to me into the air!
well done thats fantastic!
brilliant im going to do SS+ we have alot of family meals so this would be perfect for me. now problem doing SS but find myself struggling in the evening when everyone is eating dinner, quite happy to sit and eat some cottage cheese!
feel really positive now, thank...
last night i ordered kebab, with no intention of cheating i ordered a shish with no pitta and lettuce and cabbage innocent enough
the kebab arrives and turns out I ordered doner, I ordered one for my sister so i must have said it by accident. I soooooo didnt wanna eat it but it was no 9.30 and...
What is your average weekly weight loss when youve stuck to the plan to the letter?
Also do you have a "treat" after WI something you have been craving all week?
just interested to know if this affects your losses
well i didnt have any syns just incase it wasnt a HEX so either way hopefully im safe!
im just so praying for a 2lbs loss!!
2lbs a week is all i ask and if i can eat the yummy food ive been eating this week and lose 2lbs ill be a seriously happy bunny
also...
are there syns in gravy?
and how...
well i had my kebab last night it was lush, no coleslaw, no mayo all free food! i used my HEXB for pitta and it was yummy
now im at my mums and she is making huge full fat roast BUT I have made my own sw roasties and loads of veggies and im passing on the stuffing and yorkies and it looks just...
i dont have sauce on my kebabs anyway!, I'm saucy enough :P
Kool, Im so hoping for a good loss this week, but if noty i understand why and wont make the same mistakes again!
Me and OH are planning to stay in tonight and watch Take That on xfactor (eeek) and he wants to get a kebab...
If i get a shish kebab (chunks of meat) with no pitta and loads of lettuce and cabbage would this be free for original?
sorry for all the questions im getting used to all this!
:confused:
I feel like im not following the plan properly and i certainly dont feel like im losing...I feel quite bloated, even though I havent really been eating alot of carbs
did anyone else feel like this in their first week
ALSO...
I stupidly left my lunch at home and Im having a green...
ive been eating alot of free food, but can you eat too much??
Im sat ere eating seafood sticks and could demolish the whole pack (on a red day) just as a snack! and its making me wonder if there is really a bit of a limit on free food...
I have a drink that counts for my 5 a day as im useless for eating fruit and veg and try as I might it wont happen, so im just eating what I can and having a supplement drink
im aiming for 5-10
the reason I had 14 today is because I made some pasta and it was yucky so i had to grab a sandwich as I was at college and just had to try and make the best choice
Today Ive had a fabby day, felt really in control and amazed at the amount of food I was allowed!! Cheese, so much cheese!!
heres what I had
Green Day
B: HiFi Bar HE
Pear
Mullerlight Yoghurt
S: 3 Light BabyBell
L: Tesco HL Egg Salad Sandwich 9syns HE
Fruit salad

I went shopping yesterday and stocked up on free foods and low syn treats im ready and raring to go, i cant blimmin wait!!!
i will post again with my weight and my experience :D
2moro is the only day I will get a chance to go shopping and my SW meeting is on tuesday so I havent a clue what to buy...
I dont eat meat so i will be having mostly green days, im not a fussy eater so theres no much I dont like, so what should I look at buying?? For breakfast i need food i can...
about starting SW
I get paid on friday and I'm going to do a big shop and do some bulk cooking.
Ive been reading all the success stories and I just cant wait to get going, I'm feeling so positive and I really want to keep hold of this feeling!
Im looking forward to not feeling bloated and...
thank you so much for being so lovely!
I bought myself a SW magazine and I am going to do some bulk cooking over the weekend as I get paid. I am really looking forward to getting into this, and I'm going to aim for 2lbs a week, that would make me roughly 12st for uni next year which I would be...
tiger prawn and chilli and ginger stir fry yummy!!
i use a tiny bit of olive oil, chilli and ginger to taste, soy sauce, little bit of sweetner and garlic
then stir fry any veg that tickles your fancy and add some noodles or rice
thank you for the lovely messages. I REALLY want to do this for myself, this time 2 yrs ago I had lost 4 stone...now I have gained back 5 I feel horrendous.
I feel that SW works in favour with my budget too, I don't live at home so I hardly have any money so I'll be safe in the knowledge if...
the meeting is on a tuesday night so I will be starting next week as I have no money this week, I want to pay for 12 meetings up front for encouragement. Ive done SW before and I love their HE Bars. Im a vegetarian so I assume I will mostly be doing green days.
Only problem I have is the fact I...
I have been on so many diets in my time and failed everyone of them. There is a slimming world meeting at the top of my road so i have now arranged my studies and work to fit in meetings.
Im so upset its taken something so horrible to happen to kick me into gear. On saturday night a group of...
ok, I went to a pub last night and it was full of skinny pretty girls. I wanted to cry, it made me realise just how unhappy I am this size...I really need to get my backside into gear. So i've dug out my pump it up DVDs and will also be embarking on a fitness regime aswell. I would really like...
Ok, so my meals came yesterday and i was veeeeeeeery displeased to see the size of the portions. Really thought i was going to starve! BUT I felt really full after eating it and it made me realise just how much I was overeating!
over the wkend ive decided not to stick to it religiously and...
yeah, i was thinking of having the granola with some yoghurt and strawberries for lunch and a shake for breakfast perhaps
im still awaiting my food though :(
got me lizzies granola at the ready and just ordered a months worth of LWWF packs from their website (loads cheaper) only problem is that i dont have access to a microwave all day at college so what can i have for lunch instead??
im dead excited about starting, was meant to start months ago...
Well today is day one, i decided to start today as its my day off and if i get headaches or anything i can just sleep it off and wont be tempted to eat.
I havent purchased diet chef through the website as i work in a healthfood store and i get it at discount!
I have a few reasons for...
hi!!
im starting diet chef 2moro, id like to lose 3 stone by xmas on this plan is that realistic?
i havent ordered through the website, i work in a healthfood store that sells the look what we found meals and weight to go meals so i get discount.
also i dont have access to microwave so ive...
i want to use the CD shakes and bars for brekkie and dinner, and ive just discovered "weight to go" meals and im planning on having one of these for dinner. The plan still only comes to about 850cals a day but i wondered how many grams of carbs a day i could have and still maybe get into ketosis??
Copy and paste and add your name. Good luck everyone. Dont forget to update.
Just thought I would get this set up ready for our June weigh ins...
We all love a challenge.
Ready for Hitting those beaches with our bikini bods :eek: :) ( when summer comes)

well i feel virtuous and guilty all at once, ive not been sticking to the 2 week fat attack booklet, i dont like many of the meals and nor have i been counting calories this week BUT i havent eaten anything untoward, so ill be very happy with a STS or a small loss this week gonna seriously go...
well well well its monday again!
im really struggling with calorie counting and find myself keep going back to points and i think its starting to slow my weight loss.
ive never calorie counted in my life and i know its something dead simple but when uve always pointed or used syns its really...
well ive woken up slightly worse for wear today, i know theres no drinking allowed in the 1st 2 weeks of RC but im 21 and thats just not possible! anyways as it happens it doesnt take quite as much drink as it used to lol
but this morning ive had for brekkie a pear some water melon and 2...
Well its day 8 and im feeling still very motivated. I want to up the exercise this week and will be sticking to the booklet to the letter, apart from the ready meal day, i hate ready meals so ill make my own version.
I feel quite victorious as ive just had ANOTHER bad driving lesson and ive...
hey, i lost 3.5lbs at WI last night which is brill as i got TOTM :D
well done on the 1/2lb, great that you lost with all that going on!
have a good weekend x
Well today i went to my gynae and was told i need a laparoscopy, but wouldnt be allowed it as my BMI is far too high, so high infact that the BMI chart the dr had didnt even go up to my BMI so that was embarrassing. Ive been given 6 months to lose as much as i can. I have to this, my chances of...
well its the morning of the day before WI
ive customised the plan slightly, im sticking to the low fat rule but i find it very hard to count calories as an ex weightwatcherer im used to points, the are my language! so ive been pointing but using rosemarys low gi and low fat rules and it seems...
today i am fed up
im starving and as far as i can tell ive not lost an ounce, i know i know its only been 3 days but my stomach has gotten HUGE since i started this and i feel like im hardly eating anything.
im drinking loads of water eating my fruit and veg and come thursday if ive only lost...
I decided to keep a diary on here to help keep me on track
so far im on day 2 and im quite hungry!! BUT i know its gonna get easier after the fat attack fortnight is over, On the whole though im finding the food very tasty im just adjusting to smaller portions!
ive been walking and doing...
im on day 2 and im getting confused with calories etc, also finding it hard to have my milk allowance as i cant stand the stuff!
ive been exercising like mad and im starving but knowing it gets better in 2 weeks helps!
how bout u?
i was thinking as ive been really struggling with not eating, could i continuously do AAM instead of SS and then go up to 790 when ive lost a few stones?
how silly, my cdc doesnt normally stock butterscotch but if i give him notice he gets it in even though its not a big seller
perhaps a change of cdc if she isnt willing to help you out
ive been on CD for 6 days now and im itching to do some exercise but i dont want it to slow down bthe initial weightloss, so my question is this....will it?
that in 6 days i have lost 10.5lbs, i actually cant get my head around it, like where is it going from!! how long does it take to actually see the weight loss?
when ive lost weight using slower methods i would see a difference in 10lbs but im not
is it just water weight im losing?
i really feel like i cant carry on, all my thoughts are consumed by food and right now exercise and healthy healthy eating seems sooo appealing
whats worse is, if i did come off it i feel like im letting people down and arrrrrrghhhh
im struggling with the thought of not eating anything at the moment
i was wondering what the losses on 790 are like?
are they as rapid as ss?
or am i looking at 1lbs or 2lbs a week cuz in that case i wouldnt bother
i just think id feel better about it all if i had a meal to look forward to
I was thinking we could name the songs that make us feel summery, then we can become really focussed on losing weight for summer
its working for me ive been listening to
jazzy jeff and fresh prince summertime
awww thanx for the reassurance! Ive woken up full of beans this morning after losing another pound, 9lbs in 5 days i just cant get my head around it! My bf couldnt stop staring at belly last night because its got so much flatter na dhe is so proud of me :)
I wont be binging again it just made...
just been to see my cdc and..
im in ketosis!! and ive lost 8lbs!! AND im allowed the bars!!!
and ive got 2 food packs left so im gonna have a feat 2night! xxx
I just had a sneaky mis week WI and ive lost a whopping 8lbs already!
im hoping to go see my cdc today to swap some food packs cuz i want some bars and i need to chew!!!
on the other hand i have an extreme craving for sweet potatos
well, i literally bounced out of bed today, the sun is shining and i realised for the 1st time since i started cd i didnt awake with dribble all over me dreaming of chicken salad!!
ive been a bundle of energy all day, had a fab driving lesson, really focused, and it wasnt until 3pm that i...
ohhh pea and ham soup yuuuuuuum
i love the soups!!
pineapple water flavouring and a coconut shake could make a pina colada lol
an oaty bar would be nice though
well, i literally bounced out of bed today, the sun is shining and i realised for the 1st time since i started cd i didnt awake with dribble all over me dreaming of chicken salad!!
ive been a bundle of energy all day, had a fab driving lesson, really focused, and it wasnt until 3pm that i...
i actually feel really good now
i wrote down all my cravings and realise that right now im not craving anything! cravings only last about 10 mins and i dont have to give into em all the time!
oh i wouldnt dream of giving up, and im not actually hungry
i have tried to do it without having that little bit of quorn and everytime ive failed, my cdc said he is happy for me to do this but if im still not in ketosis in 5 or so days i should stop until i am
im looking forward to...
i had the choc mint shake for brekkie it was VILE
i actually hate ALL the shakes you mix yourself and im slowly getting sick of the tetras, so im gonna go swap some for soups yum!!
ive been eating 50g of quorn a day as i know if i have nothing at all i will binge and it gives me something to...
on CD hope u dont mind me coming on here also!
i was meant to start today but i awoke with a huge migraine and thought id be setting myself up for a fall by starting while feeling ill
any tips to get me through the 1st day, im holding a party here 2moro night, drinking isnt an issue for me...
well ive had a massive migraine all day (not due to cd ive had it since yesterday) so i decided to eat today and start cd 2moro, plus im at work 2moro so i will have a distraction 2day was my day off
BUT
i feel like ive failed already, my friend started 2day and she is fine and i feel like i...
if so can you still get into ketosis
im thinking of actually starting on this plan instead of ss but only if the losses are good!! if its gonna be small losses i wont bother
well im back
i only managed cd for 1 whole day last time as the timing was sooo wrong!!
so today is day one and me and my bestest bud are in it 2gether, so far ive had a tetra and 2 pints of water
and i have a stonking headache so im gonna keep myself occupied and go buy loads of...
ive decided to do 2 days on each step starting with 1500
so im gonna enjoy everyone of my calories today!! trouble os ive lost my books so im not sure what im allowed, im doing it from memory so could anyone let me know as i wanna go smoothly into ketosis when i start ss
many thanx
thanx for being honest!
i wouldnt be looking to do that long term just for like 2 weeks while im waiting to be paid and get a cdc appt
so perhaps 2 shakes a day and a 790 meal?
can these be used as ss like the cambridge shakes?
i work in a health food shop and get protein shakes cheaply, could i use these for 2 weeks until i get paid to go and see my cdc?
perhaps use 2 and the have a protein meal for dinner?
ive decided to wean myself off of carbs and prepare my self for cd starting tomorrow, i plan to do it for 2 weeks but hav no idea how to go about it? any ideas? xx
thanx so much, i was thinking of starting after xmas but thats just giving me a license to over eat until then so im gonna ring a cdc 2day and make an appt for when i get paid cuz last time my cdc only had a small amount of tetras
well done for your loss, i have been a member of cambridge before and plan to start again when i get paid, so i would be happy to take them off ure hands, i will pay for the postage of course, email me [email protected] x
thanx for the quick reply, its so hard because i would have to do the diet in secret as no1 agrees with it and ive started it and stopped it so many times im ashamed to tell people im starting again as i get doubted and laughed at i do hope a cdc will along soon to answer but thank you so much...
Im sat ere in tears, im so unhappy :(
basically i started cambridge about 3 months ago and i managed to stick to it for 2 whole days. my circumstances have changed now though, im in full time employment and ive also gained a further 2 stone.
my question is this, i find it very hard to get past...
ive been ill since yesturday morning, bad stomach bug/flu type thing, and ive managed to eat a magnum and a yorkie and ive got no way or working it off cuz i can barely move, i feel horrible :cry:
so after this week of food i lost 3.5lbs, lets see what the next week hold, i shall be writing up my weeks menu after ive been swimming and shopping 2moro!
today, not got much food in need to go shopping on friday and i get weighed 2moro,
for some reason today im really struggling and im really in need of some bread, i had two slices today from hex allowance but i dont wanna go too mad with it the day before wi
also i really dont know what to do...
Low Syn Treats

my treat is
fun size snickers 5 syns
omigawd the mint ones are gorge!!!
so are the choc orange ones and the cherry ones taste like cherry bakewells lol
for dinner 2night i have spaghetti bolognaise, but made with 85g beef mushrooms onions carrots peppers and tomatoes need to bulk it out for a green day!
that i couldn't stick to cambridge, i didnt enjoy any of the products and i was so hungry and obsessing over food and i felt very very faint
i take my hat off to anyone who can stick this programme out and i wish you all the best of luck and i wanted to say thanx for the support.

i have switched from cambridge to slimming world, only managed to stick to that one for 4 days i take my hat off to anyone that can stick to that one!!
anyway just wanted to say hey!!! xx
i dont think it matters what i do ill always have cravings but its something i want to learn to cope with for maintenance, and if the bars make this process easier then im all for it!
well the truth is i DO hate most of it lol but i have found some things i like and yes i am whinging but you all know how hard this diet is to start with andf the fact that i didnt pack up and go to ww like i wanted to on monday night is an achievment in itself!
yeah its defo carb withdrawal ad i caved and had some pasta last nice, i know i know im bad BUT 2day has been a good day and ive still lost yay!
fantastic losses by the way! x
ill admit i had pasta last night BUT it made me realise that i REALLY wanna stick this diet out and today i went at it great guns and i actually feel ok, im cold and i feel sick but i know im meant to!
roll on ketosis
well my cdc let me try the soups before i left and they r lush!! im just making crisps and im really impressed
decided to go for ss and maybe try 790 if im still struggling next week and ive lost 2.5lbs so far!!!
the oriental chilli soups r lubberly!!!!
i tried the muffin last night and i thought it was vile
are the crisps actually nice before i go and waste a food pack making them?
also which flavour is best to use? im planning on having crisps lettuce and cottage cheese yummy
also it was baking parchment you use not greaseproode right?... :D
yeah i had pasta last night but i also go on to say that i realised that i really wanted to give cd a chance hence the going to my cdc and swapping my shakes for tetras etc
im about to try and get a chocolate tetra down my neck, and ill have some cottage cheese for lunch until i can get to my cdc 2night
i felt guilty last night for having pasta (we had no meat!) and its made me see how much i wanna stick to this
what kind of losses can i expect on 790? will i...
oh good, im gonna get some cottage cheese i got some fish and some veg 2moro, and ill try make the crisps and stuff aswell, this will be quite good for me as i still have a few events coming up, i just hope i get good losses on it!
i must admit io have eaten 2night as i cant get to the cdc till 2moro night but as long as i get straight on it when ive got my bars its better than giving up
and im gonna do 790 and im gonna go see her and she is happy for me to try the bars this week although i know it will take longer to get into ketosis and try the soups
feeling a bit better now gonna have some fish and salad
because im on ss
im seriously hating every minute of this and seriously considering going back to weightwatchers, the only thing thats stopping me is everyone saying i told you so
seems so irrational but im sat here in tears
all the shakes just seem to have a horrible salty taste to them, ive got heartburn and i have really bad phobia of vomiting and i feel like im going to. i really dont know how im gonna manage to get the other food pack down
all i want is cottage cheese!!
im struggling with them all i feel like i could be sick at any moment
i just made a muffin and it was vile, ive still got one food pack left for the day
i could cry i really could
i feel like im gonna vom, i cant finish a shake at all if i eat anymore ice im gonna lose teeth i cant drink anymore
all i want is some cottage cheese lol:(
ok i take it back, about 5 mouthfuls in i feel sick and cant eat anymore so ill try eat it later with the muffin
i wish i got some soups i need savoury goddammit!!!!
the banana tetra frozen is delish
not quite as nice as the chicken korma i just cooked for the mr but nice all the same!
gonna have a muffin with sauce and a glass of coke zero when im watching gordon ramsey later lol
i was charged £32.35 next week it goes up to £34 but even so its cheaper than buy lunch and dinner everyday and all the junk i used to eat in between!
saving a fortune on red bull as well
is it normal to feel sick after one tho?
im guessing cuz its quite high in vits and minerals it will take some time to get used to!
i cant wait to have the bars lol
im just having my 1st shake, toffee and walnut and im pleasantly surprised i have to say, it tastes very buttery!
my cdc is lovely ive already had a txt from her makin sure im ok
later im going to have a frozen banana tetra and ill choose another shake at random
already had nearly 2 pints of...
im back from seeing my cdc, i got one of every flavour and some mix a mousse that i can use when im in ketosis
my cdc is a lovely lovely lady and i cant wait till this time next week to see my loss!
im going to my cdc in a wee while can you recommend the best shakes/soups?
is there a cheaper alternative to mix a mousse?
can i have the coke zero in the 1st 2 weeks?
do i have to buy the ketostix?
what can i expect from my meeting 2night?
so many questions sorry!! xx
Well, this is my CD diary!
I have decided to start it the day before I start ss so I can remember how awful I feel and the sheer determination when things are rough!
I can't wait until 2 weeks time, ive decided to take it 2 weeks at a time so it doesn't seem like a life time without food!
The...
awww thanx so much, i still feel huge and ive planned my last meal 2night as i see my cdc later on ready to start 2moro
im all prepared i have breath spray painkillers laxatives, bottles of water, bag of ice, electric handwhisk and ive even drawn a water chart up so i can keep track of what im...
and nervous, i cannot wait until 2moro night to get all my packs ready to start ss
ive been seriously stuffing my face and it will be a relief not to have the option
only trouble is i have a wedding to go to on the 21st july eeek!
im starting on tuesday but unlike you im stuffing my face (im fully prepared to suffer going into ketosis, im stocked up on painkillers lol)
keep in touch we can be buddies!
i feel so fat and ugly, ive done nothing but binge the past few days knowing that im going to starting SS on tuesday and i feel like ive gained so much weight. i feel bloated and disgusting :cry:
i went out today in a summer dress and caught sight of myself in a window and i looked massive but...
