Can anyone provide a list of foods that are acceptable on the 810 plan, as well as the three packs a day?

I started on the 20 mins a day 3/4 days a week last night. I am hoping that by beginning the exercise I will start to see the benefits of it and do more and more. I was at the point where all I wanted to do was exercise.... and I loved it!

End of the day I guess eat less move more. 1000 calories burned more than consumed a day is 7000 calories in 7 days which equals 2lbs? I ate the weight on so surely I can exercise it off, right?

I havent exercised for over 7 months now. When I did exercise I'd do an hour a day of cardio DVD's. Should I break back into it slowly or go the whole hog and do an hour a day again? I am going to be doing this much exercise to loose weight, once lost I will do less to maintain. Can I have...

I've had a hiccup too. Start a fresh tomorrow and dont beat yourself up over it.

Is it possible to CD 810 during the week and take a low calorie diet during the weekends?

Advice Please.

Recommendations please.... Best diet to follow.... to loose 2 stone.... as soon as possible....

Would it be more effective than calorie control and exercise?

Is this a viable option for me? 10 Stone, looking to loose 2 Stone, preferrably as soon as possible but one by April.... I understand it is a mixture of 3 100 calorie snacks, 2 shakes and 1 meal of under 600 calories. I have a couple of questions: Can the snacks be made into one big snack...

Nikki_a you sound just like me! I was dieting and exercising for my wedding to the point where I crashed and burned. Enjoyed the wedding (at 7 stone) in August and have since put three on through binge eating and no exercising. It really is a pain. A very viscuous cycle. Maybe we could help...

Yep, I am the same totally.... Feel like giving up completely....

What health risks are associated with VLCD's if you dont have the recommended BMI of 28?

What are your weight loss goals for February? I would like to loose 11lbs - realistically 7lbs would be good.

Saturday ********** Bran Flakes with hot water Mash potato and boiled peas Chip shop mushy peas An attempt at Jillian Micheals Banish Fat DVD was made. Sunday ******** Bran Flakes with hot water Apple, grapes WW Ocean Pie

I havent started the plan yet.... I have been eating sensibly over the weekend and my weight has plummeted from 10 stone 4 to 9 stone 11. How does that work? I did do some exercise, it has left me rather stiff. I dont know whether to proceed with this plan or just eat healthily and exercise....

Plan of attack. I am going to follow the 18in4 diet for 4 days. Following this I will eat sensibly for 2/3 days and then proceed to follow the 18in4 diet for a seconf period. After this second period I will see the effect the diet has had on my weight. Then I shall make the choice as to...

What kind of foods are you eating to produce these losses. Can you share with us your daily diet plan?

I guess ultimately the only way to do it is healthy eating and exercise. I might help kick start using Slim Fast for a couple of weeks. Two shakes and a balanced meal. I think even that right now would be a struggle.

Part of me regrets dieting so much when I was a teenager. I think if I didnt do it then I wouldn't be in this situation now. Binge/restrict/binge. Its awful. August 14th I was 7 stone, now I am just over 10 stone. :(

Has anyone heard of the 18in4 diet which claims you can loose up to 18lbs in 4 days? I am tempted to give it a go. What do i have to loose, other than weight?!

I struggle too, quite a lot, with controlled eating and bingeing episodes. At the moment its bingeing. I was on target, now I am 3 stones (almost) away from it. I need help, I know I do. It sounds like lots of us are in the same position. How do you stop the cycling?

My target is at least 21lbs... I wish to be 8 stone and maintaining happily by then...

Any one have a specific routine they complete on the wii fit or wii fit plus? I am looking for a high calorie burn routine to do daily.

Due to my recent binges I am currently about 10 stone. Ideally I do want to be in the lower range of healthy. I guess meal replacements arent the way to go?! What would you recommend? A low calorie diet? Under 1200 a day and exercise?

Can you make the shakes with water instead of milk?

Is it possible to have an oridinary breakfast (say a 100 cal portion of bran flakes), use the shakes throughout the day and then have an under 600 calorie meal in the evening? How many shakes a day are required?

Well I told him and we are battling him together. He made me feel so much at ease with him. He said - your down and low and its what you do when your bored. He said it was no different to a smoker reaching for a cigarette. I have been advised to try Reiki - a healing hypnosis type therapy to...

Can i compete too. I am 27.... married last August and since piled on the pounds. I have a good 24 to loose at least. Within the 2-3 months would be ideal. Let me know if you want email/text competition too =D

I am happy to swap too.

Can you use the cambridge diet system for groups of days at a time - for example, 4 days of SS 3 of normal eating? If your BMI is below 25 is it essential that you dont SS?

This is Mrs Popi. Healthy eating plan and exercise routine has been developed. Start time - 00.00am 11th January Basically I am going to move and move and move a lot more than what I consume. I am going to do a fitness DVD 3/4 times a week - probably the Hannah Waterman Body Blitz all...

What meal replacement program should I follow? I dont have a lot of spare money so things like Cambridge and Exante are off limits. While I was tempted by SlimFast I have read that it isnt very healthy. What are the pro's and con's of the supermarket alternatives? I have also seen the biggest...

Just wish I could nail this problem - would be happy staying the size I am. Just hate having two extremes and no medium.... A medium is what I need, but how do I get one?

How do you or how have you dealt with binge and restricting eating habits?

I dont see the point where many books are cheaper than the ebooks.

Jo Nesbo is another very similar author. The Snowman is a fantastic read.

Why not just declare how much you want to loose rather than your start weight and weekly weights? It might make it easier. Baby steps are the way. You have all of our support. New Year, New Start, New You!

Well this hasnt quite worked out the way I planned. I have had a few more binge episodes in previous weeks and have gained a little more than I was planning. My aim now is to maintain (and not binge) over the festive period and begin to loose the weight in the new year. Ideally I have about a...

Welcome to the forum! I too, have been here many times and tried many diets. None of the weight has stayed off. I have been toying with several dieting options and have decided to go for the cheapest option - Healthy Eating and exercise. How about we start together in the new year, motivate...

Could I slim fast for 5 days of the week and maintain healthy eating the other two? Would this work realistically?

I too am battling with constant binges, mainly when my husband is at work in the evenings. I find being at home so lonely to the point I get so bored that all I want to do is eat. We can do this together. Put the focus onto not restricting anything from your diet at the moment but on...

I wish to loose 10lbs. This is going to be done the sensible way. I am going to focus, between now and new year, on reducing the binges and getting them from my diet completely. In January I am going to start following pure and simple healthy eating rules. I'm not going to forbid anything from...

I dont have a lot of money and about 2 stone to loose. I am looking at starting in January (or just after xmas). Would Slim Fast provide me with 2 replacement meals a day and produce some serious results? What would weekly results be like? Would I have to exercise?

Would exercise accompanying this produce fast results? I dont really have a lot of money and have about 2 stone to loose now.

Would taking a VLCD; for example the following: B - Branflakes with water L - Apple & yogurt D - Under 200 cal meal have the same weight losses as the cambridge diet?

Would taking a VLCD; for example the following: B - Branflakes with water L - Apple & yogurt D - Under 200 cal meal have the same weight losses as the cambridge diet?

Is it good to give your body a break, or detox, before you start a healthy diet? I plan on starting to eat healthy in the new year, combined with lots of walking and hopefully some gym sessions. Would it be a good idea to stop eating for a couple of days prior to this, or just start hardcore...

I knew they would to be honest; hence why I was so against the appointment. I knew it would be a waste of time, and it was! Looks like I am on my own. Clearly there is nothing wrong and I dont have any 'issues'.

I explained the way I felt/am feeling and they seem to think I did have an issue but I am overcoming it myself and am going the right way about it. I guess I will just have to look at google to find ways to help me reduce the binges.... any body recommend anything I would find useful?

The mental health team today measured me at just over 5 foot 6. So, 5 foot 6 and a half. They weighed me too and concluded that my BMI was still in the underweight category - although not as bad as it was! Basically, the appointment was a waste of time, they didnt know why the doctor had...

I am feeling much much better today. In a better mood - feel more supported, everything! So much to the point that I think I will be wasting the NHS's money tomorrow by going to my appointment. What do you think? Should I still go feeling like I am? Monday Bran Flakes with water Satsuma...

Well, we returned last night after a very successful and enjoyable weekend. My food intake was as follows: Friday Bran Flakes with water Jacket Potato and salad Apple and an orange Saturday Apple Apple fries and Chicken Bun (no burger or sauce) McDonald Chicken Salad Deli (without the mayo...

What is the 1st weeks weight loss results like?

Tonight is the night I face it. After three days of SERIOUS binge eating I am going to tell my husband. This has been happening for months and months and its time it got halted before I become too overweight. (Please note my stats are incorrect) I reached 6 Stone 8 on our wedding day in August...

... tell someone you love, like a husband, you have a binge and purging cycle that you just cant shake? I think my husband is going to be ashamed, disappointed and revolted when I tell him later on this evening. How am I supposed to do it? help please!

Do any CD councillors do mail order?

Would any of you recommend a specific type of weight loss pill that has worked for you? I am tempted to purchase some Capsiplex!

Fantastical! =)

Thank you all for your sweet comments regarding the issues I am facing. I really hope the mental health will be able to help. I got married in August and theres nothing my husband and I want more right now than a baby. How would I deal with a baby the way things are?

Brilliant, how about sending emails and maybe messaging each other too... for those difficult times?

Would you like to buddy up for some support? Perhaps exchange diaries and day-to-day experiences? x

I have an appointment next week with the mental health professionals. I am hoping they will help me beat my eating issues.

I recognise this behaviour oh too well. Bingeing is my worst nightmare - I thought I had gotten over it, but shrotly after I got married it returned. I have an appointment scheduled with a mental health clinic next week. I am sceptical... Do you think they will be able to help?

I am 8 stone at the moment!

Has anyone experienced any effects of binge eating and rapid weight gain? Such as bloating & hip pain....

Keep it, like said above. For the Police if need be. Use it as motivation....

So I am assuming underwear shots are ok? Properly covered like?

This is aimed at moderators and admin really. Is it against the rules to post personal pictures (with no faces shown) on the forum? I would like some advice on my body and wanted to clear it was ok first. Thanks

Right now I'd love someone to be mean to me - might give me some determination.

I read somewhere that this burnt 600 calories! Is this true? Would it be too much to do this daily? How many times a week is recommended? What amount of calories does the 20 minute turbo jam burn?

8 stone 1. I would ideally like to be 7 by christmas, although at the moment I would quite happily maintain or drop 7lbs. What about you? What is your xmas goal?

As title states... Healthy eating & exercise buddy required. Must be willing to swap menus, food ideas, motivations, determination but above all be able to support me in my journey like I will my buddy in theirs. I am 26, from the midlands, looking to loose a stone by christmas (though this...

I've been contemplating a VLCD, but I too like the sound of healthy eating plus exercise. I feek better when I exercise, completely happy. How much weight do you have left to loose? Would you like to buddy up with the challenge to christmas. A stone would be an ideal amount for me. Perhaps we...

My aim is 7lbs in December. Bring it on!

Is that the one where you have the 30 days and the three different levels. You change every ten days dont you? I might try this in January....

After three more serious days of bingeing the challenge really starts tomorrow. God knows what weight I am now! I have figured I need to get into a daily routine; maybe get up later for work so I dont have too much time to 'hang-around'. Get home and do some chores or go shopping...

I have just purchased the Hannah Waterman body blitz DVD enjoyed this last time I used it. Wont do it every day this time round though, probably 3-4 times a week. Figured £10 for a DVD to use countless times is cheaper than £25-£30 a month for gym membership. Lets hope it works this time round...

What is the best and most beneficial form of exercise? Gym workout, wii fit session, running session, fitness dvd? What do you think and why?

Hey All, I am trying to convince my husband to let me become an active gym member once again. In order to convince him I am going to draw up a list of pros and cons. Here is what I have so far: Pros - Health benefits, feel good factor, passes time, reduced cost Cons - Monthly cost Do any...

I tend to find that exercise helps me. It motivates me so much with my food. At the moment my husband wont let me do any physical exercise regularly - although he did say the other night I could start to use my wii fit again. Maybe when he is at work nights/days I could fit 30/60 minutes in...

I am not sure of this, but if there was one running I would definately join in =) I used to love the wii fit, definately need some determination and motivation to get it going again!

I am 5 foot 5. I feel absolutely awful in my skin and would really like to regain my normal weight of 7 Stone.

Hi All, I am from the midlands, 27 in December. I am looking to loose about a stone in weight. My problem at the moment is the bingeing. I go three or four days eating healthily and happily and then pang - i binge eat for a day. Obviously this puts to past all the effort of the previous...

What the title says - my challenge is to loose a stone in the quickest time possible. Any ideas other than healthy eating and exercise?

:mad::cry::(:eek::break_diet::mad: basically sums it up!
