    Monty's diary

    scales are moving again I am dead on twelve stone this morning which I am really chuffed about as things had been going rather slowly last week. It means that there is a chance of me being in the 11s by my birthday and means that I will soon weigh less than my husband - I have always found it...

    Legs eleven???

    Dear Mini I can really relate to your post. I have found myself cheating more and more recently. I think it is because I have got to a weight that I am reasonably accustomed to - I can fit into my "thin" clothes and I look ok by my standards. I have to keep telling myself that by medical...

    Scales are definitely now 12 3 which is good Less good is the fact that I went out and had a large meal last night and a rather shaming amount of wine It was my friends birthday celebration and I just decided to stuff the diet for the evening. I feel distinctly rough this morning - Will...

    Thanks for your encouraging comments - definitely know what you mean about being scales obsessed. I weigh myself every morning now. I know some people just have a weekly weigh in but I think that wouldn't work for me. At least if I look at the scales very morning it makes me mindful of the...

    Thanks for your good wishes Kazz - as I have said before I think SSing would just be too hard for me. I find that 790 has the positive side effect that I am actually looking forward to eating my meal even though it is the sort of healthy stuff that previously I wouldn't have been too fussed...

    all going a bit pear shaped Last week was, generally speaking a good one, getting back on track after the holidays and I was plased with the loss I had when I saw my CDC on thursday but since then I have found myself cheating more and more I am doing the 790 plan so that I can eat some...

    12st 11 today -though am a bit worried about whether my scales are accurate - you get quite a bit of variance depending on which bit of the bathroom floor they are on! Have decided to take the middle reading..... another biscuit lapse - must get myself under control better - on the more...

    12st 12 today so am now over weight rather than obese another 4 pounds to go before I will have lost 10% of my body weight Had a weigh in today with CDC and she has confirmed that the weight lost is fat rather than anything else which is good. On the more negative side had a biscuit (bad but...

    Stuck at about 183, and wanting to stress eat

    I got stuck at the exact same point and I think it was because of TOTM - I sort of stalled for a while and then a week later it all started to shift again much faster. hang in there!

    12's Hurrah - today I am 12st 13. This is a weight I have not been for a while and it means I have lost over a stone since I started. All of which is good news. I am starting to get back in to better habits again post holiday. I am now looking forward to get a few more pounds off and...

    Back from Chicago yesterday. Didn't manage to do quite as well as I had planned and ended up eating out twice a day and eating some carbs, despite all my best intentions. Still I did quite alot of exercise in the hotel gym. Jet lag had me wide awake at 5 every morning so it was one way to...

    I dont know what to do

    dear redpam I just wanted to say that I am sorry that you are having such a dreadful time and that I think you should be very proud of how much you have already achieved in the face of such obstructive behaviour. Going to a solicitor is a really good idea, at least then you can get some advice...

    cant manage ss - 790 any advice

    790 Hi I have been doing the 790 plan and would recommend it Others have told me that the weightloss ought to be similar to SS, although save for the first week I have had less dramatic losses than other people on this forum who are ssing I just like being able to choose some nice veg or...

    Thanks Mike - nice to have a bit of reassurance Weight this morning is still 13st 2 - off to Chicago for a few days so I shall aim to walk around lots and to come back at the very least the same weight - I really don't want to put any back on.........

    slooow Still 13 st 2 this morning - is anyone else doing the 790 plan and finding it slow going? Also I am a bit pre menstrual so may be its that May be I should do SS - I just think that I would find it hard and be more likely to fall off the waggon I'll just see where I am when I get back...

    Wobbly - but not for long!

    I definitely know what you mean about family photos -its always rather demoralising for me seeing pictures of myself - I like to think that I am voluptuous but the photos keep showing me a fat lady It would be good to look at a photo of me without wincing

    second weigh in with cdc Well accordingto my cdc I have only lost a pound! - Still she has these special scales that measure your body fat and she did say that the pound that I had lost was a fat pound rather than a water pound so that's good. also lost a couple of centimetres round the waist...

    My chatterbox has got up early. :(

    I don't think its weird to dream about food at all - when I was doing Atkins I used to dream about buttered toast! I was looking at your ticker - you have lost loads of weight so you have obviously been "sticking with it" and are more than capable of carrying on "sticking with it" I have...

    two full weeks in This last week has been a bit cross making :( I have been sort of hovering around 13st2/13st3. At one point my scale showed 13st2 but it was just playing with me and ever since it has stuck resolutely at 13st 3. To be honest I was hoping for a bit more but I suppose it is...

    Cambridge 790

    Me - I'm doing it - I have lost about ten pounds in my first ten days - I can't obviously speak for whether weight loss is slower further down the line I find being able to have a meal of veg and stuff very helpful as a motivator

    Will this ruin everything??

    my 2 pennorth - I am doing the 790 plan - I started about ten days ago. I have had to go to a few social things but have just not had an alcoholic drink on the basis that I was driving or some other excuse. One of my friends was quite pressing about me having a drink because it was her...

    I saw my CDC today for a weigh in and she was surprised by how much I had lost this week. She has one of those scales that measures your fat and muscle mass and so on and told me that I hadn't lost any body fat, but that was what I expected so that was fine. Rather stressful day at work today...

    CD'ing on Holiday - any advice?

    Hi everyone I am just starting my second week of doing 790. On the 15th I am going away for a long arranged 5 day hol. It is quite a long flight both ways. I am wondering what to do, both on the flight and while I am away. On the one hand I don't want to jeopardise whatever weight I...

    tofu was good - it doesn't really taste of any thing much unless you marinate it or (horrors) fry it. Still it was nice, I now get quite excited about eating anything that isn't a shake and regard as treats things I'd have turned my nose up at before. By way of example, my husband was...

    miso soup?

    Do you think that miso soup is permitted on the cambridge diet? I really like Japanese food and, in particular, sashimi, which is an ideal meal as I am doing the 790 plan. It would be lovely to have miso soup as well. The CD soup that I have tried so far (veg) was a bit yuk.

    Anyone else on the cd 790 plan??

    hi I too have just finished day 1 of the 790 plan - the counsellor I saw suggested that I start on 790 and although I had been itending to SS it seemed to me to be a more sensible way of starting. I am hoping that the fact that I get some ordinary food wil make it easier to stick with it, but...

    cost of cambridge diet

    Hi I am starting the cambridge diet on Monday and have bought a week's supply of various things - it seemed to work out at £2.15 an item - is that what other people are paying ? Also, although my counsellor seemed nice I am not sure that I really clicked with her - I will obviously give her...
