You did much better than me with that pound! My first week - last week I stayed the same because I gave into Easter eggs. You are lighter than you were - well done!

I get what you're saying and I'm sure lots of other people do as well. I've kept myself fat for quite a few years for protection. Have you thought about having some counselling about it? I did and it really helped. What is it about the new you that terrifies you?

Everyone will react differently I'm sure - but when I've done the diet previously anymore than one bar a day gave me really bad wind and terrible diarrhoea as well!

I'm not sure I can buy one of these - but I'm going to get me a new man!

Everyone's an expert regarding weight-loss - apart from those people who are naturally slim! Some people aren't very good with change - even the thought of you changing or being different might unsettle them. That's their stuff - your stuff is to get rid of the weight and to be gorgeous!

Re the loose skin? I plan to exercise lots, drink loads of water and moisturise madly. I hate being fat and really want to do this!:superwoman:

That was fantastic to go from a 20 to a 10 and a 14 isn't large with not smoking as well! Best of luck and keep up the good work re the not smoking!

I'll keep an eye out for you and cheer you on!

Hi Cass, Nice to see you here. You are going in the right direction - downwards so that's a good thing. Keep at it and it will come off!

Thanks Julie that's really kind of you to respond! As long as it's coming off it doesn't matter what the speed is. :)

Hi, I joined her a few years ago and fell off the wagon but here again to start the final weight loss journey. I gave up smoking two years ago, which is great for my health but the down side is that I piled on another two stone that I couldn't afford to! So two years as a non-smoker under my...

It sounds like you are really motivated! You haven't left it too late at all. If you manage to lose 2 or 3 stone by March then you will be 2 or 3 stone slimmer than you are now - how good is that going to feel! Good luck!

Good idea to have something to motivate you! Your profile photo is lovely - really pretty face!

Saving money in that tin sounds like a great idea! When you reach your goal weight not only will you look great but you will have some lovely new clothes that will show the new you off! I'm treating myself to something for each stone I lose. Getting some contact lenses, a new haircut and...

Have you tried the ready made carton? I find that the taste and texture is nicer than mixing your own. I like the strawberry one best. You pay a bit more for them though. I also do the mousse for an evening meal, that's a nice change as well, you feel like you are actually eating something...

Thanks for all of you encouraging replies - that was a really lovely surprise when I got home tonight to see! I hope I can help motivate others along the journey as well. Mabs x

Thanks for replying and good luck for Friday - will watch out to see how it's going for you!

Hi, I've used CD in the past, have had some successes over the years but I feel in a totally different mind space now to really succeed. I gave up smoking a while ago, luckily didn't gain any weight but now that's out of the way I want to tackle my weight issue. I weighed in this morning...

The bars are OK, as others have said it's nice to chew something! In the past I have cut mine up into small pieces and eaten it throughout the day as a kind of snack. Have you tried the mousse mix - that really helps me, I feel like I eating something when I have that.

Hi, I joined last year but didn't do so well with my diet but now feel ready to give it a real go. I'm looking at loosing 5 stone and I'm on day 3 of the Cambridge diet, sole source. I comfort eat and also eat a lot of sugar and refined carbs for the quick high they give me, and then feel...

HI, I have quite a bit of weight to lose and am starting the Cambridge diet tomorrow. Am going to be doing 3 shakes a day and a small bit of protein at lunch and evening meal to begin with. I lost 2 stone on it last year and then gave up smoking 5 months ago so put quite a bit back on. I...
