Hey thanks for ur replies; support on here really means a lot and keeps us all going!:) I'm back on SS 100% now and it's going really well, I'm appreciating the diet even more than I was before which is brilliant! Rxxx

And 'uneaten' desserts - I really should proofread...

Sorry, above should read that everyone was quite drunk so it was easy to feed them cocktail, it doesn't mean me being drunk!!

Are you sitting conformably? Then I'll begin... Ok so it started in the pub O'Neills where I I had a glass of sparkling water. Oh I should also say I had a low fat tuna sandwich from M&S at about 3.30pm to line the stomach which was rather pointless since I stuck to fizzy water! Hindsight, eh...

Thanks all. Lara, that's a really good idea! I woke up feeling a bit 'coldy' this morning (which basically means I had a blocked nose, that's all) and was thinking of hamming up my 'coldy voice' at work so that I didn't have to go tonight but don't see why I should miss out on the party...

Thanks for ur replies guys, v helpful. Whatever happens I won't be having wine!! X

Hi everyone! I hope you're all well:) Was hoping for a wee bit of advice please... I have my work Christmas party tomorrow. When it was booked a couple of months ago I wasn't on CD and so made my menu choices as I always would have (fattening, essentially;-P). It costs my firm something like...

Thanks so much for your kind words and support - I will let you know the loss :-) x

Sapphireblue thanks so much for your post; I'm going to start having a shake at about 10am too :-) Starlight thanks for your post also, though I do feel like I've had a stern scolding! I did say in my original post that I appreciated it sounded ridiculous... In any event I know it's serious...

Oh wow that's amazing!! So happy for you :-) You must be a little bit in love with the diet if you're becoming a CDC! It's really good though because not only will it give you the opportunity to help others with something you're passionate about but it'll also keep you on the straight and...

Thanks spangles :-) x

Oh WOWWEEE you've done so so well - what an inspiration! How long has it taken you to lose all that weight? I bet your appearance has completely changed! I can't complain, the boyf is lovely to me, he always makes my packet shakes in the evenings and brings me water, ice etc. He does urge me to...

That was supposed to be a laughing face at the end by the way lol

Exactly! So random question now, what does your hubby think of you doing CD? My boyf was sceptical but now I'm starting to look slimmer he's urging me on! ?

I know what you mean - If I'm honest, as I typed 'vodka lime and water' a little voice in my head was squeaking 'BAILEYS! BAILEYS!' lol x

Hi Claire! Is there another CDC you could see weekly? For me, it's not just about the weigh-in but also having a good chat and the support you gain from a weekly 1 to 1 session. Rxx

This tickles me in manner of life-size feather duster

Hi goolian! Well done you! I wish you all the best in your journey:-) Xx

Hi claudia just read your thread - see, you had nothing to worry about! When we 'cheat' a little, we all think we've put back on stupid amounts of weight but it's just us beating ourselves up. X

Hey emms! Nice to meet you and thanks for your lovely post:) I do hope I don't get an infection; I'm so sick of tooth stuff! I wish you all the best of luck on your journey - it's ever so exciting, just earlier I was expecting to see one person in the mirror and I saw someone completely...

Oh barbara-ann I feel bad now! Maybe I'll get one xx

A loss is a loss I suppose but having said that I will be trying to fit in all three because I would prefer a higher loss each week:) Bride10 (I'm guessing you're getting married? Congrats)!! if you can try to leave at least 2-3 hours between shakes and don't have two at once; I used to do that...

Ha! So funny you should say that cos I sniff food all the time! Made the boyf hold his bacon baguette up to my nose so I could smell it in a cafe earlier... Maybe some people think it's weird but it helps me lol

Thanks guys at least I know others are having same experience! I was gonna buy one of those 'Snuggies' from Homebase but I don't think I could stand the ridicule I would suffer from boyfriend and son . . . Xx

Hey guys Hope you're all doing well. Was just wondering, is anyone else (and please excuse my French here) bloody freezing?!?? I've got about a million and one layers on, two pairs of socks, huge fluffy slippers, two hot water bottles, hot drinks and my big double duvet but I simply cannot...

Good evening all:) I'm on Day 13 of SS and at my first weigh-in lost 8.5lbs. Think I've lost more this week, judging by my own scales. Anyway, when you read the title thread I'm sure you probably thought I'd 'cheated' and eaten something, but I haven't. What it is is that out of 13 days, on...

Hi guys part 3 over, yay! Apparently I do only need one more so that's good. It's very trying so I'm glad it's nearly over! Great things that sounds like a living nightmare poor you:( Setas, so sorry I didn't reply to you before about Xmas! Your plan def sounds sensible. I'll be off SS from...

Climb

Hey guys sorry for late reply; my wifi has been playing up. I suffer with anaemia as well and so I take Spatone every day, athletes take it (even though it tastes absolutely vile lol)! Anyway great things poor you that sounds awful! I definitely don't have a trapped infection then, just some...

Hi all Thanks for your posts! I hope this chilly sunday finds you well; is anyone else finding it hard to part with their beds in the mornings at the moment? I think I'm feeling the cold more on CD! Great things, the Story of the Tooth is quite complicated. My filling came out then the tooth...

Hiya! It was absolutely fine thank you. When I went in I told my dentist I am on a VLCD and so could I still have local anaesthetic? When she said yes I said damn! Because I hate needles. Hehe? Like my boyfriend says (in a supportive way of course), with anyone, the bigger they are the better...

Hi guys! Hope you're all doing great! I was hoping for a bit of guidance please... I'm on day 2 of SS and so far so good. Anyway, tomorrow I have part 2 (of 4!) root canal treatment at my dentists and apologies if this sounds silly, but I'm slightly concerned that the anaesthetic might...

Hiya, have you tried Spatone? It's an amazing iron supplement, about £8 for a month's supply from Boots. I suffer with anaemia and it has truly been a godsend!

Facebookers can be awful - it's easy to be nasty "virtually", isn't it. After losing 2 stone on Cambridge (I still have 4 stone to go to get to goal weight of 10st), my young cousin took a photograph of us and put it as her profile pic on fb. I thought I looked really good cos I know how far...

A massive Congrats to you, well done! What an inspiration xxx

Hi girls! I'm the same, it's day 1 for me today and so far so hungry, oops, I mean good! After 3 days I hopefully won't get hungry anymore. Each time I've tried to go back on SS this year, I've always failed before lunchtime. Let's hope this time it'll be better:-) Anyhoo the very best of...

Winky, I love being able to cross my legs now! Had a celebratory ceremony at work to show everyone lol!

Totally and utterly with you on that one Goreygirl! I couldn't believe that had happened to me!!

...which I couldn't do before I embarked on my joyous voyage that is the Cambridge Weight Plan! : - 1. Walk up stairs / hills without feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack. 2. Get in the bath without it overflowing. 3. Lift myself up from the bath without feeling like my forearms are...

Hey Charlie I hope the funeral went as well as to be expected and that your parents and aunt are coping ok. Much hugs Rx

Hi Charlie sorry for late reply I couldn't get into this app. I'm so very sorry to hear about your uncle. Thinking of you and you family at this difficult time. Lots of love Rom x

Wow moleymole u look absolutely fantastic! Congratulations! I hope I look half as good as u when I get to my goal! Love xx

Hi everybody sorry I didn't get back to any of u in the last couple of days - my iPhone app for minis went all funny but I'm back online now, yay! Well most of you sound like you've made an educated decision on Xmas food plans:-) As for the others who aren't sure, I'm sure you'll make the...

Thanks so much guys this really helps:-) xx

Well done you! X

Hi all I started SS+ this evening (having been on SS for just over 3 weeks) and my first meal was 90g tuna all mashed up with one medium hard boiled egg sliced on top, it was yummy:-) I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas for how to make meals out of the food allowed in SS+ please? I...

My brother used to lie on his front with his arms stretched out in front of him like superman flying and he used to get me to push hard on his lower back with my feet! Worked like a charm x

Thanks chelle! :-) x

I must say, I adore my CDC - it's important to have someone who encourages you, not makes u feel so bad that you end up eating. I had 3 chicken tikka pieces from my OH's takeaway last night (no sauce) and I told my counsellor as i felt bad and she just said to stick to the SS+ menu and also...

That's great hun! I have recently decided to do SS+ as I "fell off the wagon" last night by having 3 chicken tikka pieces of my OH's takeaway! Oops x

Wow good for you! I haven't done any exercise during the plan as I feel physically uncomfortable when I exercise! I think when i get to 13st I will get on the old treadmill as the OH is getting me one for Xmas:-) what are you doing for Xmas, foodwise? X

Hi rumbly-tums how are you getting on? I read some entries of your diary the other day and you're so funny! Hope all is good with you.

Good for u hun - I really think planning is key as then u know when you're coming off the diet rather than coming off it unexpectedly due to temptation or what have you! Xx

Hey hun Well I haven't tried the soups yet as I heard funky things about them! I did just have a chocolate orange bar and now I have an after taste of Stilton cheese?!?! How bizarre, do you think the ketones distort our tastebuds? Xx

Thanks so much for your msg foo fan. I will definitely take on board and consider your advice. I actually have a friend who had lost 6 stone on Cambridge then came off for Xmas and unfortunately never got back on track so I see how hard it can be. Got lots to consider methinks! Xx

Hahaha! The other day my fella came to pick me up from the station after work and he drove straight past me even though I was waving my handbag at him like a loony! He said he didn't recognise me because I've lost so much weight! I said yes that but also it's dark and he said honestly I didn't...

Good for you LovelyLauren, that's great! I'm sure your husband will be so happy with the "new" you! Xx

Ooh I will definitely check that out! Thanks! Xx

Oh no poor you, youre having a terrible time of it aren't you. Concentrate on your hubby and kids to help u take your mind off things slightly, and stay in touch with your parents for updates. You'll all get through this. Rxx

Re: Re: Christmas - 3 options I meant "that was" !

I understand everything you're saying, it's just you say your sister is naturally slim, so presumably she has never been overweight? Therefore she would never need to sit and decide in advance how she was going to handle a special occasion or such the like. I'm so jealous of naturally slim...

Thanks for your posts gals. I think the key is not to feel deprived or as though you're being cheated out of anything! X

Thanks Charlie x

Re: Re: So sad I understand that financially it may not be possible but is there any way that you and your mother could go over there to support your aunt and be with your uncle during the time he has left? Sorry Charlie I just realised you said that your mum and dad are hoping to get flights...

Hello my love I was very sad to read about your uncle and what you and your family are going through. Please do know that you can always write on here and I will be here attempting to offer some words of comfort. I understand that financially it may not be possible but is there any way that...

Congrats cankles! Keep up the good work! X

Oops I sent that too early! So just to finish, I wonder if some off u might share your diet (or "undiet" plans lol) for the festive period this year please? Love and hugs to all Romilly X

Hey everyone! I am curious to know please, what your plans are re food over the Xmas period? My CDC said I have 3 options; 1. I can abstain completely i.e. stick to the Cambridge plan as I have been doing. 2. I could eat everything in sight and totally come off the diet and go back on it...

Absolunkly! Having said that I am going to start a thread about Xmas and peoples Cambridge plans in a moment xx

Hi jillcambridge I feel so enraged that your CDC treated you that way - how dare she belittle u like that. I wouldn't even give her another chance - move on to another counsellor sweetie before she has the opportunity to upset u again. Congrats on your 3lb loss- you're doing absolutely...

Ahh LovelyLauren did u ever try putting the peanut bars in the freezer in lots of little pieces? I wonder if that would stop the heartburn?! Just a thought. Anyway u enjoy your choc mint bars and I'm going to get onto my CDC! Xx

Hi Felix, I felt compelled to reply to your thread as last night I had three (rather large) pieces of my partners chicken tikka (no sauce just dry pieces) and I was feeling so bad about it! I have since realised that we are all doing so well and really ought not to beat ourselves up for having a...

Oh no LovelyLauren poor u! I ought to be careful then! I am having alternate bar days as my CDC said having one every day can bring u out of ketosis so hopefully I will be ok on them! Xx

...how to put a profile pic up on here please? I am using the iPhone app not safari if that makes any difference! Any help will be much appreciated! Rxxx

Ahh yum I'm so jealous! Gonna see if my CDC can get me some! I wish they did choc mint tetra briks! Though I do really like the peanut crunch bars, anyone else feeling those? X

Re: Re: New WordGame-last letter = 1st letter-easy peasy one ;o) Oops what a wally I was on the previous page! Christmas

Hi everyone my name is Romilly and I have been on the Cambridge Weight Plan for just over three weeks now. I weighed 15st 10lbs when I started and I am currently 14st 5lbs, yay! I am on Sole Source but am seriously considering switching to Sole Source Plus in the not-too-distant future as I...
