    im back.. for the last time.

    Its a mind over matter.... it could be that you think you can't do it?? I agree perhaps do a couple of weeks at a higher cd plan like 1000/1200 to shrink your tummy a bit then go for SS, you could find a a couple of weeks to get into it will work. I know how hard the first few days are on SS but...

    Losing weight on your face

    The best thing tho about being a size 12 is that it is far easier to maintain that a size 8 :) Also I know my weight will likely fluctuate, I recently bought a nice top in a size 16, which was fab, got it in black too, then thought, hey why not get both tops in a size 14 and 12, so i now have 6...

    Losing weight on your face

    I'm at the stage of my weight loss where I have to think about when I am going to stop losing weight and start to maintain :) As much as I would love to have a size 8 body, I know that I look ill, and lose the fat on my face which ends up aging me. I had this discussion at the gym i go to with a...

    How do you know when to stop?

    I worry about this, I don't see myself any differently in the mirror, I didnt see a fat person when i was 21stone or the thin person I am at 13stone. I am going to go by dress size, and have settled at a size 12, I'm in size 16 but they are all too loose now, it's really tough, I get the...

    VCLD - Pros & Cons

    losing the weight is the easy part, believe it or not, the hard part is to deal with the reasons of over-eating and comfort eating.

    vlcd's are a good and effiecient way to go if you can stick to it by the letter where people go wrong is when they abuse it, the many people who constantly cheat,100%,cheat,100% or look at it as a failsafe diet to which they go back to when they regain all weight lost, losing lots of weight...

    accountability.

    The thing is, if you can find the willpower to stick to such an extreme diet as a vlcd on your own without motivation, then surely you can find the willpower to stick to a calorie controlled diet, infact probably easier as you will be eating normal food??? I did cambridge and lost the first two...

    Excess skin after CD ???

    I am not anti cd or vlcd in anyway it is a very good diet tool so if it works for you and you are liking the results then great for you.

    i only did it for 3 months Also yes everyone knows diet and exercise works, I was only expressing that the results have been pretty good for me as regards loose skin and only offered and opinion, but loose skin/fat is a side effect of rapid weightloss plus little and no exercise so you lose...

    Excess skin after CD ???

    I wear sleeveless and short sleeved tops now as my arms look normal, obv not like madonna's but still very good. i think it also has alot to do with how old you are, how long you have carried the extra weight as I am only 35 i still have elasticity in my skin so that makes a difference too.

    Excess skin after CD ???

    The thing about weightloss and the rason I choose to go the exercise route is that I really studied it on the internet. What people think is excess skin is excess fat, you see skin is only a millimetre thin and when you lose weight through exercise, your body is using all your muscles, so when...

    Has my fat changed?

    Mine hasnt changed but that maybe because I came off cambridge after losing 2 stone at 17stone4lb and started eating and exercising, my arm/thighs/tummy feels firm and the same as it always has, I'm 14stone1 and starting to get a gap between my thighs :) it could be an exercise thing....

    Hartley's sugar free jelly during SS?

    VCLD - Pros & Cons

    SS and exercise advice needed

    I think that it is a fact that you need to fuel your body properly if you want to build muscle and tone your body up. I eat around 1500cals a day and exercise daily, I would say that i have built up muscle mass which is why i weigh heavier but fit into a smaller dress size than someone who...

    goodbye and advice please

    I did cambridge for 4 months mainly on 810 and lost about 2stone, I missed food so bad that I decided to invest the money spent on CD to spending it on two personal training sessions a week and have just completed 10 weeks, I can now run on treadmill continuous for 10 mins and do 60mins on...

    What are your tips for getting your diet mojo back?

    your coming up your 12th week.... your body is craving food, you will be having to 810 on that week, and its important you are able to get straight back on SS to lose the rest.

    How and why did you gain weight?

    I can think of many many reasons why I am bigger than I should be and whilst it's important to establish why you are big and realise how it has happened, I finally realised that it's time to stop hiding behind those as I live in my own home now, noone buys food or chooses what i eat now, I have...

    sagging skin.

    I think exercising can help with loose skin, as loose skin is really fat. With any diet you loose fat and some muscle, its the lean tissue you want more of so with exercise you can build that lean tissue up which will give you a better contour. I think it depends how much time you can put in, I...

    Wider than before.....

    All I know is that everytime you diet you lose some lean tissue, unless you build up that lean tissue through exercise you dont get it back, so when you reach goal and go onto maintenance you may want to think about uping your exercise to build muscle again. Its not advisable to do alot of...
  146. A

    Wider than before.....

    It could be because your body composition is different??? When you lose weight the first time you would have lost some muscle mass, so unless you did exercise and training to rebuild muscle mass you could be carrying extra fat which weighs less than muscle, so you could have been heavier and...

    Cambridge Alternative?

    you can get good results on 1000/1200 cals a day or try slim fast???? slimfast is cheap and you replace two meals a day and have a protein meal at night, do not use as a vlcd as its not suitable but it is cheaper and will keep your cals low
