Hi - I'm new today aswell with about 5 stone to lose! Feels a bit daunting at this point but got to give it a go. FED UP MISSING OUT BECAUSE IM FAT!!!!!!!! Anyway, hello Tyme and misslinky, all on day one and nearly done, excellent. Sooze x

thanks for your reply - I didn't know about the one a day so thats really helpful!! (before I go stuff myself with another one..) You have put my mind at rest. You look like you are doing really well all the best Sue

Hi there, I am hoping someone may be able to help. I'm new to exante and wanted to know if the bars have more calories than the soups and shakes. Also, they seem to have quite a high carb content so do you still go into ketosis if you have them?? be grateful for some help asI am finding them...

Hi, I'm new to exante too (did cambridge a couple of years ago, but back to aquare one again). Bit disheartened but desperate to get control again as being fat is making me miserable!! All the best to Susan and other newbies We can do it!! Sue

Hi all, I'm starting again having lost 2 and a half stone last summer and put 2 back on - yes very ashamed of myself - so need to summon some steely strength to get back in control!!! So, day one today - can usually do it if I can just get through the first week. Already...

I think a good idea to stick with water today!!!! Chocolate is one that I seem to get on with, the other two are banana and the oriental chilli - sometimes the chicken and mushroom is ok. some people like to chill them others make a hot drink with the vanilla an add coffee. There are loads of...

hi Ging - welcome to the forum. I don't think it is normal to vomit - but it can be normal to feel a bit queasy. Some people are a bit sensitive to the mineral and vitamin concentrations, but that seems to improve. Obviously if the vomiting continues you shouldn't continue, but give it a chance...

Hi trisha - love you ticker - great idea to do one for the 6 week challenge - how do I get one??? thanks Sue

Many thanks Lesly. I did just that today and met a new consultant today. she was completely different and very thorough. I feel that I have some support at last - and I feel I've really got to be good now as I know she is going to check up on me next week - that is a good thing!! Thanks all for...

Hi Jen - don't give up - i'm sure what you are feeling is hormonal as duncan said. It will pass, you are doing brilliantly well and have to stick with it. I sometimes ask myself what choice I have - do I want to go back to where I came from, is that chocolate worth it? Its just your hormones...

Hi everyone, exciting to see people starting to fit into old clothes, did try some nice linen trousers on this morning - but alas - still bursting out of them!!! Hopefully the next few weeks will sort that out! Thanks Becky for including me in the team, will be so lovely not to feel alone on...

Thanks for that, I think I will take your advice and find someone else. its a bit of a long slog on my own although I am hoping to use this forum a bit more to get me through aswell. I did think it was a bit odd and not at all what I expected!! She has never weighed me - did measure my waist on...

Hi girls - perhaps we can help each other! The end of June doesn't sound that far away!!!!!!

KD - what an inspiration you are - 8 stones lost! Anyway, sounds like you give alot of support - wish you were closer!! Do you think it may be an idea to change. feel guilty about doing it as she is a nice person, but to be honest it would be the same as buying my sachets from a shop and having...

No she doesn't weigh me! Should she? Strict ? don't think shes got time!!

Hi, I have always had the same cdc but don't seem to get much support/help if any at all. She is very good at turning up with sachets, takes the money, has a quick chat on the doorstep and then goes. This may be completely normal, but would just like to find out what other peoples experience is...

Don't give up! this happens and often is due to your cycle - I had a couple of slow weeks and then bigger losses. Three pounds is still alot of weight - I think after the first quick start about 4lbs is a good loss so you are still doing very well. Your friend on their slimming world etc diets...

Hi, I would love to join you as I have just started again and want to lose just over 2 stone in the next 6 weeks. Feels a bit daunting but managed to do it before and would love to do it again!!!!!!! Too small for last summers clothes and too big for the rest of my clothes so getting a bit...

Not been on for a while - a few false starts but on day 2 yet again!!!!! Really could do with some strong SS influence and am feeling really really hungry. just given my kids lovely chicken drumsticks and was virtually salivating...lovely.. Anyway, hoping I can join in a bit. thanks

Well done, its the hardest bit and 9lbs lost!! Really pleased for you XX

Thankyou both so much for your replies - you are both completely right and have made me feel much better. It really is too late to make much difference and I must just go and enjoy it - life is just too short. I love my "fat" friends as much as my other "skinny" friends. Just suppose I feel a...

Hi, I just cant seem to get back on cd again and I know its because i have a school reunion in 10 days time and am dreading it. So, its making me eat when I should be losing weight (which would make me feel better!!!) ie complete madness has set in!!! So daily I am feeling worse and more out of...

Great to hear you are back on the wagon! You have done incredibly well not to put anything on at all.......that is amazing and actually suggests that you have continued to lose weight as in theory you should put approx 4/5lbs on when your glycogen stores etc are replenished! (does any of that...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your ideas, they are really really helpful. I think things can get that you forget to enjoy the simple things in life, often things you used to do when you were younger. I think I like the numbing effect on my emotions of the food and alcohol. but you do...

Can anyone help me out here...I have realised how incredibly stuck in my ways I appear to be. I am so used to treating myself at the end of a long hard day with a nice glass of wine and a good meal that I am suddenly at a loss! Apart from having a hot bath - I'm starting to go crispy dry i've...

Grrrrrrr indeed...can't wait! By the way your weight loss is amazing - how fantastic is that. You give me hope. x

Exactly! Here goes for a frozen chocie tetra!!! YUM

Hi, been reading this with interest - more in the taste of this chocie delight...but, as far as I'm aware vitamins and minerals are not destroyed by freezing nor is protein....so where's the harm??????? (just don't want to be told this is a bad idea!!!!!) XX

Id like to join a group too - but not sure how either. Think there may be a link on the first post? Only on day two of restart.....

Congrats on getting thru today - I'm on day two and it was alot easier than day one! Nearly cracked at about 4pm, but this site saved me from impending doom!! very tired and headachy and real problems sleeping last night so hoping that will ease off. I feel if I can just get thru this first...

mine is Tuesday- thanks

Yup, virtually everyone wants to lose some weight. When others are negative I remind myself that being very overweight is incredibly bad for your health - and the benefits of losing just 10% of your body weight makes a massive difference. I actually lost a "friend" in the summer who was...

Yes, keeping it off is the problem. I lost well in the summer - stayed on it for 6 weeks without a single mouthful of food /alcohol - it felt easy once I got going. Back to normal eating slowly escalated into too large portions, too much wine, chocolate etc etc. Need to find a better way to...

LOL - I love it so there!

Definitely don't open the lid - disaster lies within!!!!!!

I sometimes think there is a bit of jealousy involved......

oops - tried to put a ticker on - seem to have done it wrong!!!

Thats fantastic news - did you have any problems before?

Good luck and well done for getting back on trackXX

Now you are making my mouth water - literally! lasagne with garlic bread is my fave, of course there's always a good korma...thick butter on fresh bread.....melted goats cheese with caramelised onion marmalade....oh no...I can't stop now..

You don't need money to have a fantastic wedding day!! congratulations on naming the day - you have done so well with your weight loss you deserve to really enjoy your dress - how exciting X

Good to hear that people are falling pregnant on this - will stop straight away if do though. Thanks all

Will checkout the pregnancy forum - thanks for that! I am hoping stabalising my insulin levels etc on ss might help. And yes - if its meant to happen it will happen! I am lucky to already have two beautiful children so I guess I'm being just plain greedy!

We are trying for a baby but I feel my weight has affected my fertility hence cd. I have heard thought that doing SS can stop you from ovulating - although my weight is probably stopping me from ovulating anyway!! Does anyone know if this is true and whether people can fall preggers doing...

My first day today after a long break....good luck - the beginning is definitely the hardest - so just be strong and it will really get easier! I'm really looking forward to that feeling of being under control once you really get into ketosis. Struggling onwards through the first week x

Never thought about the loss like that, 0.5 lb is half a pat of butter I think??? That is a big lump of fat!

Hi, just to let you know this is my favourite soup and definitely worth a try - I honestly love it! I have in the past added a few prawns and shredded spring onion - any oriental veg is great with this. I have also added a load of steamed broccolli, carrots and peas - yum. I haven't tried quorn...

Well done for not giving in - I came close today surrounded by biscuits and chocolate and its only my first day - help!! Like the words of encouragement from everyone - helping me to stay on track... good luck

Best of luck from me too - I just started again today after a bit of a gain aswell - at least we are doing something about it now! Good luck for tomorrow X

Hi Lea have you tried this before?? It is the easiest diet I have ever done - once you get into it!! Made me feel a bit flat in the beginning but I lost all urges to eat - which is a miracle for me as I do love my food......and my chocolate....and my wine....... anyway, heres to sticking it...

Good luck! I'm starting tomorrow aswell so be interested to hear how you are coping in the first week!!!! Just be great to be slim and comfortable for the summer. I think this forum is really encouraging - I can't believe how much weight some people have lost - DEEP RESPECT!!!!! Looking...

many thanks to all for your kind replies - only just found my way back to my post - hopeless!! Nice to hear some positive comments on keeping my weight off - I have yo-yo'ed up and down the same stone for the last few months so its become a bit frustrating!!! Anyway, looking forward to getting...

Thanks for that bit of positivity, I'm just starting again and its helpful to remember we are doing great things for ourselves in the long run. Just got to keep on keeping on!

Hi, I'm new here and am starting cambridge tomorrow - eek. Did it in the summer and lost two stones and with over three more to lose just can't seem to get going again...very frustrating. I remember how easy it is once you really get into ketosis, just seem to be getting stuck at about day 4...

Hi Chloebelle, nice to hear from you. I hear SW can be really good, I tried it but find the cambridge works for me as I don't have to think!!! I lost two stone on it in the summer and have another three and a half to go. Just hoping I can get back into it again - really hard with all of the cold...

Hi Millsy, thanks for your reply -I'm doing the cambridge diet. I'm starting agin today after a few false starts after xmas, but really got to get on and do this know as my weight really bothers me. Not really sure if i'm doing this right but here goes...

Hi, I'm starting today and need to lose about 50 lbs (have already lost 24) and it feels like a mountain at the moment! Not quite sure how this all works, but be good to hear from anyone else here....:)

Hi, not sure how this all works so please forgive any mistakes! Did cambridge in summer and lost over two stone. Started again today having put back on about half a stone and really need some support...as two failed attempts since xmas!!!! If there is anyone out there be good to chat thanks:)
