    Another Bad Day

    Thats what I do! If i lose it I use the whole day to eat and don't stop until i go to bed or feel sick! Its like "well I've blown it now so might as well have what I want" I find it much easier at work Mon-Fri 6.45am to 4 pm, evenings are the hardest for me. Good luck and don't worry too much...

    Monday 3rd Sept - Hour by Hour!

    thank you, I've never done aam as i had a binge and my CDC said to carry on with SS instead for that week (that was a few weeks ago). I was planning on eating on holiday (2 weeks all inclusive in Mexico :)). I'm glad you think 12 stone is ok, it always seems to sound such alot for a woman :(
  120. M

    Another Bad Day

    All those who've moved to CD from LL

    Hi, i didn't even make the 100 days as I was unhappy with the counsellor and the whole group thing, not really my cup of tea. I also found the cost to be a bit much for what I was getting out of it. I've now switched and love doing CD. the shakes are much nicer and the bars are like heaven after...

    HELP! Going away on holiday for A MONTH!

    don't cancel your holiday, I always put off so much because of my weight and it never changes anything, i still struggle but miss out on doing so many great things! I don't even go to the cinema because i would want sweets and can't have them.

    HELP! Going away on holiday for A MONTH!

    Don't they say you need approx 2000 calories a day to maintain your weight, I know it depends on your size etc but i can't imagine a tetra, some fruit and a 2 course meal can do much damage even with a couple of glasses of plonk! You could always find some scales when you arrive and weigh...

    HELP! Going away on holiday for A MONTH!

    I still tend to gain a bit but I do go over the top a bit in the evening and do have exactly what I want. I even take my gym gear and go running every day. I think if you were more careful in the evening and not have all 3 courses like i do you could probably lose or maintain. It would be a...

    HELP! Going away on holiday for A MONTH!

    Hi, I'm no expert but when i go away I have fruit for breakfast and try and have just fruit and some chicken for lunch and then i have what i want in the evening. I also only take clothes that fit me, nothing loose so i keep on track or I'll have nothing to wear! I go away for 2 wks all...

    Hand blender recommendations please?!

    hi, i have a Braun and a Tesco value one, I leave the Tesco one at work for making my shakes there but i would say the Braun one is better. It was about £15.00 and i got it in Tesco, i think its 300 watt. The tesco value one was about a fiver and is only 200 watt. Hope his helps x

    Starting Next Friday- Looking for a Buddy

    I'm up for a buddy, I have almost a stone left to lose but i think its going to be hard :( especially as i have a 2 weeks all inclusive holiday coming up :( be glad of the support and hopefully i can support you x
  237. M

    I should not have got on the scales!

    i am due to start cambridge diet tuesday.......

    hi, sorry can't answer your question about cutting back but i have read that chewing gum is not advised whilst following the plan. Good luck Tuesday x
  239. M

    Have you fallen of the waggon and picked yourself up again?

    me too! at least once a week! not at goal yet but I'm on the way, when i have a blip i just move on and start again. Its probably not the fastest way to do it but i will get there in the end! I go away in 3 weeks and want to lose my last 11 lbs so perhaps we can motivate each other?
  240. M

    I'm back!

    Welcome back! I have had so many blips that i seem to start again at least once a week so well done you! 5 lbs will fall off in a couple of days, good luck and have a great week x

    if i really had to eat.....

    I'm sure it will turn into a binge just because of the chocolate and because i have a problem with binging. Seeing you write it makes me more determined not to have that bar. Last time i had an extra bar I ate a whole pack of biscuits and loads of other junk! Thanks for putting it in black and...
  242. M

    if i really had to eat.....

    thanks, I've had 2 shakes and a bar so far so i still have 1 shake left to have as i'm on 4 a day. I have no idea how people cope on 3 a day, my hat goes off to all of you who manage on 3! I'm going to try and keep busy for a bit to try and take my mind of it :)
  243. M

    if i really had to eat.....

    If i really had to eat would it be better to have a couple of slices of ham (haven't got any chicken) or an extra cambridge bar? I'm worried that i will crack this evening so would app advice even though i know it would be better to eat nothing :(

    Worried about Doctors

    I'm sure you'll be fine, like I said, i think you just need to make sure that you know your own mind and the decision you have made is the best one for you. I have Botox regularly and i was chatting to the doctor who does it about the cambridge diet and she said she's just pleased that people...

    Worried about Doctors

    i started on lighter life and my doctor wasn't keen but he didn't have any reason to say no as I'm very healthy (apart from being overweight!). My blood pressure is normal and I'm never ill so I never go to the doctors. I was very firm and said 'this is what i want to do and I need to do this...

    ADVICE on EXCERSISE on SOUL SOURCE please??

    LOL! I'm not keen on combat but do it because my friends do it and tell me you can burn up to 1000 cals a class, it is my least favourite class though :(

    ADVICE on EXCERSISE on SOUL SOURCE please??

    p.s whatever you decide invest in some good trainers and a gym kit you feel good in, it makes all the difference. x

    ADVICE on EXCERSISE on SOUL SOURCE please??

    Hi, i really enjoy exercise and do up to 8 classes a week. You need to find something you enjoy doing, I find the machines in the gym boring but the classes are fun and you seem to work harder. I struggled during my first week of ss (nearly fell off the step on day 3!) but now its fine. I do 3...

    back on track at last!

    LOL, i have to say i felt so rough afterwards, i ended up going to bed with a cold compress on my forehead! I'm sure it won't stop me doing it again but for now I'm fine :) taking each day as it comes :)
  250. M

    back on track at last!

    LOL! bikini, bikini, bikini! hope it works! I bought myself 4 extra peanut cambridge bars so if I'm really desperate I'll have an extra bar, better than the whole pack of biscuits i ate Thursday :( and the 3 packs of crisps :( and the 5 packs of toffee poppets :(
