Brill! Thanks for the tips. Btw I'm glad to have a reason to eat more paneer - yummm :clap::clap:

Thanks for sharing! Can I just ask (as a fellow indian ;)) do you still eat indian food? Roti etc? And would it be too nosey to ask what you eat on a typical day/week? :)

Good luck

thanks guys! day 1 is over and done with! x

thanks ladies, knew i could rely on you all to understand! Had a relaxing time (just a few oo-eer moments about my wobbly bits!) Had to begin re-start today due to antibiotics buuuut - here i go again! x

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a long long time and I need help - the problem is i just found out that my friends have booked me in for a spa treatment this weekend - which is great, buuuut i no longer have any swimwear that fits at my size. I really dont have any money to spare and also dont...

thanks you guys, was feeling very alone an hour ago - not like me to admit defeat to others either (am easily embarrased) Oh and Ceekay I just noticed that you started Cambridge on my 30th birthday! It was literally a week later that i started. KateyKat I have decided to wear a very tight top...

didnt think of it that way, thanks IMac.

thanks hon, have been on the verge of crying and re-bingeing. will try again tomorrow - am going to brush my teeth right now. thanks again - really hard to explain to people when i have been so super strict for so long that i have been secretly eating:sigh: thanks again

okay i dont even know where to begin - may as well start at the beginning. I had lost over 7 stone and was ss-ing away quite merrily, that is till xmas day when i decided to have a small meal - which was not just chicken + veg, it included the works with chocs for after. Rather than going up to...

Brilliant thread! To never have to deal with people adding you on facebook and then remarking that they have added the wrong person. To have someone call you slim without a sarcastic tone. To realise that the temp guys that didn't know you till a month ago are actually talking to you 'cos...

I have to echo what the others are saying, it really is about personal taste. I am the biggest sweet fanatic yet I cant stomach the sweet shakes :sign0137: plus I totally haaaaate the tom soup but really like chick n mush/mush + veg soups! Just try all of them once to see how you go, plus the...

Wow! well done, I have an outfit waiting for me when I hit target - long time away but I'm optimistic ;)

He he love it "cowbag" have to use that tomorrow - hmm shall I use it in a sentence or as a greeting ....

:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao: someone call me an ambulance!!!!! im crying with laughter plus im bunged up with hayfever - I cant breathe!!!!!!

Just proves that some people never grow up - its the kind of thing I would hear in school! Okay - Im watching the repeat and I think she is the closest thing to a pure hypocrite I have ever seen - what the hell does fancy dress have to do with religion!!!!

Oooo Loobylou you naughty minx ;)

Ha! thanks hon!

WHAT!!!!! when? why? I watching c4+1 so am waiting for it to come on

I love this silly quiz - brings out my inner Benny Hill :p :massmoon:

Ahem, you may be discounting any future thrilling moments...;) I tell myself around every corner there is an Adonis waiting - he would have to be pretty strong to fend me off!

Hee hee!

Righto, well ladies I have a series of questions that I would like replies to as I think this silly quiz is hilarious. No science, just fun! Just delete my answers, copy and paste to re-post your own... 1. What is your favourite animal - describe in three words. Giraffe - long necked...

Emm28 & Amethyst each day is a new day. Honestly dont feel despair because you have eaten, just remember that CD is a temporary journey of your life - once you have attained your goals you can re-educate your taste-buds. As some other people have suggested maybe you should move up the plans is...

Hope all goes well, to be quite honest I love a good wedding - they are sooo much fun (even when you are on CD;))

Im Sikh and I just went to a friends wedding this weekend gone and no-one noticed I didnt eat. The food is usually put on the table and everyone helps themselves, just put a bit on your plate and move it around (dirty dishes usually look used!) Most people are busy dancing/people watching and...

My goal is to be a size 8/10 by xmas - and go shopping with my friends like I used to (instead of pretending to be interested in the shoes/bags/jewellery!:rolleyes:)

Congrats Bish Bosh!!! Love your avatar by the way - so cute!:)

Thats an amazing loss :D:D:D Its people like you that inspired me to try to shift the weight instead of being miserable about it:scale: Good luck with the rest of your journey (not that you need it!) xxx

wow:eek: you are a braver soul than I am - I tried to quit but I found I just couldnt do it on sole source. Will try again when I have reached goal.:o Stay healthy and strong!:D x

snap - I have the worst sense of direction and I just get lost! :):):)

Hey Donnamarie, if you search the Cambridge diet forum for mousse im sure you will find a thread that will help you. If not search back through the last few pages for a trifle thread - I'm pretty sure it used a mousse as a topping. Never fear someone will answer your question soon - though I'm...

Just thought I would say goodnight to you all, I had to take a few days off work due to illness :sick:and Minimins kept me sane and away from the bread! So sweet dreams to all you lovely miniminers :grouphugg: xxx

Oooooh, thanks Becky. I might set up an account this weekend!

Thats brilliant news honey - heres to you and your journey on CD:party0027: (its water I promise!)

wow, you really dont look size 16, more like a 12. Bloomin heck women you will look like Vicky Beckham within a month!:)

whooooo thats one of my favourites:D:D:D:D:D

I dont know if my breath is really that bad but I love gum - might start chewing my nails instead - unless there is carbs in those too;) Thanks for the compliment hon - had a really yuck few days and a nice compliment always makes my day:D

AAAArgggh, the fruity ones have citric acid + they all contain about 60+ carbohydrate. Better give them away - boo hoo - I loved them:wave_cry:

I have a really horrible feeling they are affecting my weight loss - scared to check the packs as I literally have like 15 of them!

Guys I think I need help - I have been chewing loads of gum these last few weeks to get over that slow death taste in my mouth. The only thing is Im beginning to wonder if it is affecting the CD. I have a lot of the trident gums - and I love the ones with the gooey middle - but Im not sure if...

I have made the milkshakes up to 1 pint before - they still taste good but I think i depends on your tastebuds. Good luck with your journey x

I had an Aunt come round once who said to me 'seriously you must weigh at least 15 stone' ha ha little did she know I weighed loads more! oops just realised thats not a good thing!

You have no idea how happy you have made me, maybe I should have saved my cherry for Jordan after all:giggle:

Okay so I am now officially crying into my tetra - I used to loooove NKOTB, I thought I would marry Jordan (still have strange thoughts about him!):drool::character00250: Im sure you will do well with that sort of incentive to look forward to!

No free samples but loads of advice - I cannot believe I jumped on the scales in front of a complete stranger when I wont do it in front of loved ones. But you dont feel judged, just relief that there is a solution!

Is Ebay awkward to use? I always felt like it is too much hassle but a friend of mine said to use it to clear out my wardrobes. I would love to use it but am worried that I will spend most of my time in the Post Office than making any money back!

I would love to know how your sessions go as I have recently bought loads of pilates/yogalates (yes its yoga and pilates combined!) and yoga dvds. Havent actually used them yet 'cos I have the sniffles but I was thinking about going to a teacher too - no excuses then! Hope all goes well:D x

I think the tetra packs are best as I felt I couldnt stomach (he he) three shakes a day either. The tetras are perfect, I literally have one whilst rushing about in the morning and another during my lunch. Quick and easy. Though I have a soup in the pm as thats when I get wandering eyes and it...

I pay £1.65 for soups/shakes and £1.85 for tetras. Have paid for a weeks worth as I thought it may be easier than shakes - yes I am really that lazy!:p

I had to go to a wedding this weekend in Birmingham so a hotel stopover the night before. Which meant my friend were eating Burger King/KFC meals whilst I sucked on a tetra! Mind you, they all had stomach aches afterwards - ha ha (nasty old me!) The wedding was quite easy to avoid eating as my...

I am totally being naughty too! My managers in a meeting and I am totally taking advantage!!! Mind you with all the water I'm drinking she thinks I'm diabetic (have re-assured her but she gives me funny looks everytime I take a glug!) so I can get away with a lot more

He he - I'm gonna end up craving the tetras once I have lost my weight:rolleyes:

Ooooh, scary but re-assuring I am not mental

Thanks 30flirty, as I am sure everyone will appreciate it is hard to watch everyone around me eat. Mind you on the up-side I have discovered which shakes/soups that I like:) Oh and tetras are yumm :p

Im only on week 2 and I am finding it HARD WORK (on SS). I'm really snappy too (poor family of mine:rolleyes:) Hope I can keep this up for another 10 weeks :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: Tell me it gets easier:wave_cry:

Oh God food in the house, I don't know how I survived this weekend - my sister-in-law with the belgian waffles that I tooke her to get on my second day of CD whilst she was cooking up a storm during the day :sigh: The third day we had family over with pizza's/garlic bread - you name it. If I...

I think it was my fault for not having the tetra earlier - I thought I would wait till 11ish because I wasn't hungry. BIG mistake - half an hour later plus paracetamol I feel loads better! How are you doing? By the way if I dont reply straight away its because my managers back:rolleyes:

Your parents choice sounded beautiful. I had to exit off of minimins sharpish earlier as my manager sits next to me and wondered what I was up to!!! Better wait till tonight when Im at home to post anymore! xxx

I think its a gorgeous name - sooo much nicer than mine. You would think my name would be a least vaguely indian - right?!? But my parents decided Sharon would help me with the bigger picture - jobs/schools etc! Bless em!

Like El n ahh - with an accent - Im indian but mistaken for middle eastern/turkish regularly!

Thanks ladies! Gives me hope :wave_cry::wave_cry: Blue Grapefruit - Elena is not my real name - I used to use it when I was young and slim and lying to boys! My real name is Sharon! Not quite so exotic hey! xxx

Oh okay - I feel slightly foolish now - so far I have one at about 11ish - I stupidly forgot that I woke up earlier today :( Kitteh do you know if I can have Ibuprofen?

Its day 4 and I'm back at work and cannot concentrate - keep feeling really woozy (is that a word?) with a nasty headache and I'm FREEZING (may be due to not wearing enough clothes though) I have drank 2 pints of water so far - starting my third now Please tell me it gets...

I have had the tetras - choc is gorgeous:D:D Hmm may have to try the vanilla coffee idea - sounds good! Thanks guys for your suggestions - I have tried to diet before (usually last a day!) My CDC recommended that I post and told me that it is a great place for support and I can honestly...

Hey Red, dont sound so down sweetheart. As you said you have done this before and remember how you felt when you lost all the weight before. I think you are really brave for doing the race, I could not do something like that, if you are the type of person that can put themselves forward for...

Are the bars good? I'm literally on day 2 and have decided the shakes are just gross - I dont think my blender is very good! I was kinda hoping I could live off the bars! Do you guys use hot water with your shakes? I'm wondering if thats the reason my shakes are soooo lumpy - I cant get used...

Hope someone replies to your problem hon as I have a similar situations coming up. One is a joint 30th restaurant nightmare and the other one is a pre wedding restaurant meal with the wedding the next day. If I was staying at home I could cope but we are staying in a hotel the night before the...

Oh my god! Its like you have read this from my diary! :read: Its amazing how similar people really are - facebook is the devils creation:mad: - I hate the fact that people that knew me years ago are actually amazed that I have changed so much One friend actually said that I must have got my...

Hey ladies! Can I join in?:sign0144::wavey: I am hoping to lose about 7 - 8 stone ( will re-asess goal when I am closer to it) I want to get down to 9/10 stones - phew!:eek::eek: Im on my second day of CD and have just realised how much of life revolves around food - I need strong...

Ahh thats sweet Becky! To be quite honest the weight never bothered me as much as the lack of nice clothing did! Mind you the portugal thing was just nasty - viscious man:mad:!

Oh I forgot, there was a memorable moment last year on my friends hen (also just about got in the airplane) We were in Portugal - 15 of us with Miss World banners i.e Miss Essex etc. ALL of my friends are slim - skinny - seriously I am the token big girl :eek: !!! Anyway walking down the...

Hello guys! Im new to CD and this is my first post (have been lurking for a while though!:p) I was just wondering what the last straw moment was for you guys? After all the cringe inducing incidents all it took was a mild comment from an elderly relative of mine!
