thankyou Cheers me Dears. Will get it off in no time, trouble is my pool is turned off at the moment so can't do my excercises. I will have to get the bike out.

On maintenance for 4 months now but have had a little hickup over the last few days. Worked all Christmas and lost a little but have now put on half a stone. Think most of it must be water retention but need to be chastised and whipped by all you lovely people to help me regain focus and lose...

Okee Dokee fancy being called a tart mind you I would be jammy if this was in the real world. Two chicks and an ugly old man tart.

Thats it girls you win I can't make up my my mind whether I need the courier or bag package so I will have to make the sacrifice and settle for both.

Roots are generally high carb as they are food storage for the plants. If really want to OD on carbs try honey on your parsnips. The official carb amount is a bizzilion

Now youve put it like that. Think that I have a new Favourite.:p

Oops :rolleyes: She was only a Sub you know youre the one.;)

Thats better lowering the tone to my level now. Grrr Take me I'm yours

My joints need oiling love not burning out. I had Baby oil in mind.:D

;) Hey Isobel why don't you volunteer. You can be D_Q,s substitute I wouldn't complain have seen your pics and i like what I see.

Woman Yes Obliging No.:(

But don't think just cos you are where you are you can dessert the forum. Your advice will be worth more now you have joined the been there done that club.

If I am so fit why does it hurt soooo Much. Ow mee joints.

People make negative comments about every diet normally because they are ignorant. CD is a Great Diet it offers very quick results, yes you will have a hard time at the start, as you have to get past those first few days but it gets easier. Once you are in the zone you can cruise it. It makes...

Did the Great Yarmouth Swimming Club Christmas Gala last night. They put me in 6 races !!! I am pooped and aching all over. A word of warning to all you CD ers out there:- When you have slimmed down and feel 20 years younger in yourself and look younger as well, don't forget thems old bones...

I am doing a Swimming Gala tonight. Its only a sprint Gala but can,t wait. I know I probably am a bit long in the tooth at 40 to go back to competitive swimming but hey its for charity. Wish me luck in my nut hugging speedo's.;)

AAM did it for me got the weight loss kick started agian the week after. I think it is essential to do AAM as not only does it get you going in more ways than one. But also test your will power and shows you that you can eat without stuffing. Great preperation mentally for maintenance. But like...

I knew I was due to go to a social event in my fourth week so after consulting my councillor we moved AAM forward one week and I had a good night. No starter, duck breast with the skin removed for main and just the green veg. followed by a meal bar for dessert. I drank two whole jugs of water...

I used to drink at least 8 litres a day

Just don't take it personally if people fail because it would awful for such a positive bloke to go NEG.

Don't worry about the weight gain like everyone said it is probably water. try not to jump on those scales quite as much, because if you are sticking to diet they mean Jack apart from on weigh days. as for your other half comments, do you want me to come round and give a slap?

I don't hide from anyone. :cool:

My CDC is Brill he has helped me, and listens to my ramblings always there when I needed him. Still pop in and get CD bars off him occasionally because I like them. He was happy for me to go and weigh in with him even when I wasn't buying anything from him. He is a nice caring sort of bloke...

Its easy to avoid the drink and Biscuit you can have black coffee or tea but Definately don't give while on SS. I am donating on Friday for the first time since CD. Never felt bad when donating before but I am wondering if I will now there is a lot less of me.

I am sure someone will buy them. There are some desperate people out there and lots who won't go to a councillor for various reasons.

Positiveley positive thats what I like. Well done Nell thats is bucking frilliant.

Of course I would you saucy minx

Now I have got to go. Wish I could stay and explore further but have got people waiting at the bar. Bloody spoil sports.

Now I daren't stand up and leave my office.

Now that was funny

Ouch just got a splinter off the underside of my desk.

At this rate everyone in the Yarmouth Area are going to be skinny. All the CDS are going to do themselves out of a Job. I bet we have lost more on CD than most towns our size. Congratulations.

Arooga arooga

Thats what i am here for serious constructive comment. :p

For you i can guarantee no sag;)

Louisa I was wondering where you had gone you started so well. On the feeling faint side the only thing I can think is you were just too low on calories. Thing with cd is you can get away with the low cals because it is balanced with all the right vitamins and minerals which gives you a boost...

Hey lads come over to the boobs thread its getting fun on there. Leave the girls on this one and we can invade there thread. They have even started to but pics on there.

Actually forgot to say I have won trophies and medals for breast stroking. Or was that breast stroke?

;) Always willing to oblige ladies.

Why do they need to advertise it anyway thought loads of people already had it? Don't need to boost sales do they?

I do Isobel cos I is nearly as old as you.:(

Intrigued eh? well thats a start I suppose.:cool:

Can I be your dog Summer sounds nice. WOOF

I would love to post all the things i like about chicks birds totty skirt fluff. But most of it would be a bit naughty so I will keep quiet on that for now.

Superb Attitude Go for it. I love hearing these positive peolple, with comments like that you can inspire all the people who are struggling. Well done and keep Pos

Yeah good though. Not that I need an excuse to appreciate the finer things in life.

:cool: I was having a laugh all yesterday afternoon and then again when i got home. I do like the banter but these women just don't understand how weak and vunerable us men can be. I cried myself to sleep last night cos of them nasty Girls picking on me. Had to have a huge Hine VSOP to console...

I put a load of suits in Tescos clothes bank for africa. I keep watching on the news for a little African chap walking round in a 48 inch chest Dinner suit with his trousers tied up with string. Either that or spot one of my suits being used as a tent. Gave most of my trousers to staff at the...

Sorry mate called you Bread instead of Brad oops

Top man Bread I was getting bullied by all those nasty girls out there I'm glad I got some backup at last. Cheers Buddy. :rolleyes:

;) This a blokes thread and I think you lot are the ones who don't get it. But if any of you need a bit let me know. I am always willing to help women in need.

I get plenty since I lost the weight on CD Thanks

Oh dear girls you do like to think you have got us. When a man goes quiet for a while that is when you ladies need to watch out. Blush my arse girls BRING IT ON

I quite like a bit of pink myself. Bye speak to you in the morning before this gets too embarrassing for a shy bloke like me.

Yeah but who needs to understand women as long as you can enjoy their company and beauty who gives a F....

Huh Don't understand now.

Raahrrrr Now we are talking the same language.:cool:

But poor old stretch didn't even have balls bless him.

:p Thought you girls prefered a bit of rigidity

The moment I started maintenance my metabolism went into high speed my weight loss actually accelerated at first and I had to adjust the maintenance plans to add more calories to stabilse. Ended up nearly a stone under target. I have always excercised and worked long hours before during and...

Did you see the last letters after her name RNutr isn't that Right Nutter???

Its just in my caring unselfish nature.

BOLLOX What planet is she from muscle bulk no problem my bones are like iron my metabolic rate is faster now than it ever was I am just as strong as I was before losing the weight, which the other boys on the lifeboat will bear witness to I am also a lot fitter. People really ought to back up...

Right you bunch of Homo's.:mad: Time to Blokeee. No more male beauty bollox. Throw out all your new mamby pamby trendy and smart clothes. One pair of stale smelling jeans and a sweat stained tee shirt only in the wardroab please. Get them old pongy trainers out of the bin. Replace the Gay...

If any of you needs a thorough inspection of your boob jobs, then I am more than willing to put myself out and help you lovely ladies.

Don't tell anyone but when i did AAM I didn't weigh my chicken or measure my greens. I definately had more than I should have had but it was still very small. On the advice of my CDC I made little teenie kebabs with the chicken and some little mushrooms cut up. I drank a pint of water before and...

do what me and the boss are going to do after Christmas going to get her little engagement ring (which looks silly now next to the others I have bought her) and Melt it into her wedding ring and set the three little diamonds in it. I am going to get my now far too big Masonic ring melted and...

I think we ought to have a special Area for Men only because you are right Brad this Diet has made turn a bit strange. I now love clothes shopping and worry far to much about my appearance. We need to reclaim our Blokeeness and talking about footy Rugger Beer and shaggin loads of fit totty. So...

LOL I think that is the Idea of a Very Low Calorie Diet. They are low in calories but stuffed with goodness so don't Panic there are loads of us who have survived it.

Probably because despite the fat men carry underneath they tend to naturally carry more muscle and muscle helps burn fat. So unless the woman was a body builder or athlete before she starts dieting then she would have a natural disadvantage.

I used to do swim 100 legnths 3 or 4 times a week only a small pool 13 yards. I did this before ss and during I found I got quicker as the weight fell off and I didn't lose any muscle bulk at all. So I think you know what you are capable of so go for it. I think maybe not every day though. Give...

I love CD because with it I got rid of all the bad bits of me both physically and mentally.

I had loads of people say I had lost too much weight and I looked ill but that was just because they were not used to me. Now they all say I look better for putting a bit of weight on but I haven't! It funny how people see you.

I proved my man hood on day four of CD when my wife decided to invite my mates over for a bbq. I cooked for them and watched them drink my beer and wine and I drank water all night. I did ring Chris for support while they were eating. I sat in the house on my own and rang him. What a day to do...

Don't forget me I'm a man not like Mike I use engine oil to soften my hands and sand paper for bog roll, brush my teeth with a wire brush, swing from trees and eat my meat raw and warm.

I used ground ginger it is pretty strong and don't need a lot. How tight are you going to be on the carbs for christs sake.

An accountant gets home late from work one night, his wife demands to know where he has been all this time? He replies, I was getting a tattoo! A tattoo, she frowned. What sort of tattoo? I got a £50 note tattooed on my cock, he said proudly. What on earth were you thinking? she said...

I used to drink about 8 - 10 litres a day and was ok.

I would look at the diet plans more as a guide than a rule book. If you are following the correct diet plan fairly closely and losing weight then good luck. On my maintenance part of CD I never weighed or measured anything and followed the remit of Round Table our motto is Adopt Adapt Improve...

Too right Soraya. Once you start adding the carbs and come out of ketosis then the hunger does return thats why the maintenance stage of this diet is so important. If you are coming off CD then I would come off by following each of the maintenance stages first then try something else.

I am always up for a challenge and looking for people to help so I would give it my all. Purely in an unselfish manner of course as I have no interest at all in womens breasts.

Sounds like my kind of bloke is he up for a pint?:)

Yeah I heard that but didn't believe it but I do now I am definately noticing.

Boobs are meant to sag isn't natural if they don't. I like proper women not remakes.

;) I'll hold em up for you if you like

Started to get a bit worried cos my loose tummy which hangs down when I do the old press ups looked smaller. Thought I must have put on a ton of weight but when I got the scales I found I was still 3lbs under target. So the only conclusion I could come to is my skin is finally starting to go...

Fab keep up the good work and remember to keep measuring because even if the weight loss apears to slow the inches will keep coming off.

Went to a lovely place called home for one week and did all these fun little things that the wife had been planning for me. Things like the see how hard it is to take down that wall game and the fix that draw game and the touch the paintwork up game plus many more exciting activities. But...

Try standing slightly further forward or backwards on the scales and watch your weight change before your very eyes. My scales weigh lighter if I lean right back I think you will find it is the same with most. Also hard and soft surface under the scales makes one hell of a difference.

I have never weighed anything do not posess a set of scales. When I did the maintenance plan i guesed all the measures but everything has a weight on it when you buy it now so it is quite easy. The main thing I find with maintenance is to eat lots of the things with low carbs and fat to fill you...

Flying off that is great are you sure you are a female its normally only the blokes that lose at that rate. You must be sticking to it like glue Well done. Keep it up.

MMM Nigela MMMMMMMM Much rather lick! oops was going to get rude then. Seriously though when I cooked on SS it was hard to start with but then you get used to it. Its a bit like smoking really its a habit thing wonce you break the habit you don't do it again. Now i have to make myself taste my...

As the sizes get smaller the good feeling just keeps getting bigger. Keep up the good work.

And I get accused of not being PC as a blonde bloke I am most offended and am now off to buy some colour for my hair.

I used to add chilli powder to my little chicken kebabs on AAM so why not pop some spice in your cottage cheese.

I have been on my hols and as a result having to catch up with work load but I am here.

Essex Girl gets upset with her boyfriends comment. She says " I ain't letting you call me a slag anymore get out of my bed and ............ Take all yer mates wiv you.

I find I stick to a fairly low carb diet when not out on the raz and it works fine. I have taken the lessons I have learnt from doing maintenance and now apply them to sensible eating. Carbs are our real enemy as they make you hungry and cause you to store excess as fat. Also I find that...

I used to put chilli powder, curry powder,Garlic granules, tobasco and occasionally a little bit of worcester. Garlic granules are pretty conentrated so you wouldn't want much. The amount of carbs in them you would probably burn off with a good fart. I had no probs with these things kept on loosing.

I didn't used to eat out every night like Nick. how out of control can you be mate? I used to Eat out only about three nights a week then stuff Chinese and Indian takeaways the rest of the time. Washed down with gallons of red wine then I wondered why I used to get major acid reflux. All a thing...

I f you haven't got a sense of humour about yourself then you will never get through this crazy diet. When you haven't got much to start with you don't need much of a change to notice it.:p

Being as we are on this subject just a little comment for the lads. Has anyone had the same as me? Prior to losing all the weight I always dressed to the left now the bloody thing is all over the place but most wants to go slightly right. Also I think it looks bigger but then again it has been a...

Looks like you are nearly there Dizzy keep up the good work. :D

Keep that positive attitude and you will have no probs well done and keep getting rid of the old clothes.

Just a quicky to let you all know and to get a pat on the back from you loveley people. Have been off CD for longer than I was on it now, have been on holiday gone out and abused myself to the limit. Which by the way when it comes to booze is a lot less than it used to be. I have grown old (am...

I don't think its the preserving energy thing at all. But then again I am a bloke and if I had one breath left in my body I would use it trying to catch hold of a woman. Not that I am unfaithful but if there is anything I find harder to resist than food its women.

Thanks everyone got rid of the Kiddies and had a night away just got back it was Great. Oh yeah then went out and bought some more new clothes. I am terrible now I have lost the weight going to make myself bankrupt.

You are spot on about being self obsessed the wife is now telling me off for being vane and going over the top with my preening. She said just yesterday "what happened to my scruffy man who didn't care what he looks like". Well sorry love he has gone. She is just going to have to put up with a...

:p Cheeky Anyway I wear water proof mascara.;) Good luck with your loss.

Maintenance is all about a state of mind, keep positive and you will be fine. Take that feeling you get when you get to target and hold on tight to it. Its great to get there but better to stay there. If you do maintain then you join an exclusive club and should be very proud of yourself. Have...

Well done mate I know exactly how you feel its bloody great.:D Now for the serious part of the diet. Maintenance.:mad: Make sure you are as dedicated to that as you were, the diet and it will all be Great. I have several friends who tried Cambridge lost a bucket load then stopped and piled it...

You Great big Jessie Mike what do you mean clothes shopping. Let me just clarify things here for all you lot CD does not turn you into a girl, I think Mike really Mean't to say "There is more Totty to eye up in Norwich when you pretend to be clothes shopping" LOL:D Don't tell anyone but I...

The way I deal with maintaining my weight is that if I have a day when I eat "bad things and drink too much booze" I tell myself that it was a good day I enjoyed myself. What is wrong with that? As long as the next day you are sensible then everything is fine I have been out several times and...

Hi who is your councillor? I am now just out of maintenance but still in contact with Chris in Caister. I found the diet great apart from the breath bit how are you doing? Jas (sunny Caister)

What struck me about the photo's is your arms. Not the size of them althoguh they are visibly much smaller but the Angle they are at. That is the biggest pointer your hands must be a foot closer together now when they are by your side. Well done what a difference keep it up can't wait to see...

I found last week very hard being my first week off CD. I was a bit daft and had some very bad days when it came to food. Eating all sorts of rubbish and really not feeling good about myself. I put on 2 lbs which I really needed to do as I had gone well under target on maintenance, but felt...

Don't mind, not much of a story just a big bloke who got a bit out of control and made a deciscion.

I have stabilised at below my target weight so obviously my target was too high. :rolleyes: When I first lost the weight the compliments were coming from all directions but now people are getting used to me they are dying down. I know this might sound shallow but while the compliments flowed I...

Been doing maintenance for four weeks but had to jump up from aam to 1200 then 1500 because I kept losing too much but have now been the same for two weeks.I think everyone has to find their own level. I want to keep where I am now for at least 4 weeks in total before letting go of the Cambridge...

Don't worry about man boobs mate when you get to target they won't be lopsided they won't even exsist. Mine have gone completely just the loose tummy to worry about.

Well done Louisa think you need to change the bit about over 10 stone to lose. Two down is brilliant keep it up and keep positive.

I always wanted to lose weight and get down to what I consider a healthy weight but two things really triggered it for me one, I got on the life boat Crew and although nothing was said as strength can be a big advantage I felt like the Fat boy in the boat, and two, now thia ia the what really...

I used to throw all sorts in my soups. Thai spice garlic granules curry powder tobasco. I think in general as long as its not salty sweet or fatty it should be ok. Done my 4 stone 7 in 8 weeks spicing it up so go for it.

Beer flavoured shake wine flavoured shake tornedos rossini flavour soup

I will keep my fingers crossed. I have cut down on the old water since starting Maintenance maybe I will up it a bit. Does always look wrinklier first thing in the morning when I am dehydrated. Mind you not to the levels I was some days I would do more than 8 litres surprised I didn't drown myself.

Thanks that looks good will do that one tonight after my crunches.

Stuck to it like glue up until last three weeks when I have been back on food. Stick to the maintenance 6 days a week then on my one day off a week I like to go out with the wife for a nice meal and wine. I think I just focussed on the job in hand and that was that. Don't get too panicky about...

No stretch marks at all just loose skin on my stomach area. Bit like a deflated balloon.

don't want a tummy implant LOL:rolleyes:

I have been on CD for 10 weeks now. On maintenance at present and waiting for my skin to shrink. Will it go back the only bad place I have is my stomach. I have lost in total 61lbs. When I stand up my stomach is all wrinkly and when I am knocking out my press ups its all hanging down. I am 39...

Hi I am new to this site but have been on CD for nine weeks and have reached my Target and some. I am now on maintenance desperateley trying to steady out. At the moment still losing but upping my food.
