I'm a fan of leftovers for lunch...my oh works late so I tend to make a meal the size I used to have and then put half in a tub before i eat.

From reading this I think Fatty (no offence) meant that they wanted their two weeks holiday and in turn only pay half the monthly subscription and as such was told that the only way to do this is to cancel and rejoin...am I wrong?

Can someone recalculate my other half's pp please? She's gone down to the next stone bracket so just thought I'd check...she's 5'5 and 15 st 3.

You can overcome it...I'm sure you'll do great. Not sure if its your thing but another incentive for me is the rides...just not having the fear of not fitting!

I am on ww for similar reasons but more importantly I used to live in Orlando and I work for a major tour operator here in the UK so give me a shout if you have any questions. Sadly I really want to go to an american ww meeting when I'm there!

Ah thanks.

Anyone got room for me? I've got 130lbs to lose...I'm a permanent dieter swinging between cambridge/ww/sw but always losing and gaining.

Hi I have what is possibly a stupid question...the points given on the jars of sauce is that the value if made as directed or do I need to add points for the chicken? Thanks

I'm not sure about 'allowed' it but I know it helps me through the day and I'm still in ketosis. I had a 6 can a day diet coke habit so couldn't handle hunger and caffeine withdrawal all at once!

Some evil person brought chips into my office today and a member of my team said to me 'imagine how you would feel if you ate them, the last two days would have been for nothing' She was right...getting to the point I'm at now has been the main struggle, its just about focussing on whether...

My other half is a kitchen manager at a carvery and she has just started cd too...we both started on Tuesday. Like your sig says, you can have anything you want to eat but do you want that more than the feeling of being slim, running around, buying clothes from skinny shops or whatever your...

My tummy is rumbling at the moment...its really loud lol.

I think a cocktails selection...mudslide, pina colada etc.

I got through it! I tested my wee this morning and in ketosis so hopefully will get better.

Monday evenings for me.

I started on 5th!

I'm a returner and I could do with talking down a bit. I feel like absolute poop. I'm on day two and I feel like giving in.:cry:

Exactly!

My other half and I just started CD today together and she wants to lose around 6 stone. She is desperate for a dog and I've said we can get one when she has lost 5 stone.

Are you a fellow vegan? The Florentino Parmazano in the tubs is 22 syns per 100g...you wouldn't use that much obviously but think it is easy enough to work out from there if you weigh it...which I never do haha!

A friend of mine was on this show, she was the atkins girl and I agree that it was very one sided. With regards to the gallstones I agree with the other posters, a fatty, 'normal' diet can cause gallstones just as much as being on a VLCD can.

Lost 8lbs!!!

I have asthma and I found that the additives in the orange one made me very wheezy but I did love it!

Not weighed in this week as have taken a few days off as I broke my foot and the temptation of get well soon choccies was too much!

Hi...had a few days off...broke my foot and have been indulging but Im back on track now.

Hi I only lost 1.5 lbs this week...bit gutted...my best friend lost 5.5 but we have both lost a total of a stone in just over two weeks. If I'm honest I haven't been following it 100%...not been cheating but have been missing shakes etc.

Had my weigh in last night and lost 1.5

Wooo I am? It was my first week...does that count?

No mine are right hand side too..like really bad trapped wind.

I have gallstones and I find milk thistle tablets really help.

I'm not very obese anymore!!!!!!!!:D:p

Hi All Weigh in one and I lost 10lbs.

I live alone and also struggle to afford CD, however, like Tilly, I have put the whole thing into perspective. My friends think the diet is expensive, however, before I would spend around £15 a week on groceries, plus £3 a day for lunch at work and I would go out at least once a week and spend...

Hi all I'm just checking in with you...its going better, my oh started this cd on thursday so at least I have a bit of support. Went on wednesday to offload the disgusting porridge and I persuaded my counsellor to let me get on her scale as I was convinced I had gained but it said I was down 7...

Two days down (nearly) and I feel fatter..is this normal?

Day 2 I'm hungry and grumpy. Had a shake hot for breakfast, then some lettuce and chicken for lunch followed by another shake. Going ok so far I think.

Well..I'm finishing my first day of my third crack at this...I'm doing the 810 because my BMI was over 40 and my CDC felt it would be easier for me to have something to eat.

Just had a bath so I would like to add that I want to be able to take the plug out and not stop the water leaving!

hi do you still have space on here? :-)

Hi If any team is looking for a newbie (1st day on 810CD today!) please let me know! Heather x

Lol maybe!

So...I'm now 11 hours in and all is well. Got to work at 10.30, by 11.00 was craving my usual nutrigrain bar and cherry coke but made a hot chocolate using half a packet which was fairly yummy. Managed to survive screaming customers and bossy, er, bosses and at 1pm went to sample the delights...

I want to walk down a street and have people look at me because I look fab and not because I look fat. I don't want to walk sideways down a plane aisle. I want to board an aircraft without the fear that the seat belt won't fit or that I will take up most of my partner's seat. I want to buy...

I'm sneaking back in, head down, hoping noone notices.:wave_cry: I was a member her a while back and I was on Cambridge but I was never particularly dedicated to the cause, the idea was there, I loved the idea of being thin but not the effort it would take. I'm back and going on Cambridge...

Hi all I'm Heather, migrated from Cambridge Diet to Lipotrim. Did Cambridge a few months back and did quite well but could never find a counsellor that was close enough or that I liked a lot (one I trusted and got along with lived really far from me) so I've decided to try lipotrim...went and...

I'm new to lipotrim (used to do CD) but I find the magic bullet the best and is light for taking places with me. You can get them in ASDA for about 20 pounds.

Madness...that cancer thing made me want to vomit, I had cancer myself as a teenager and did lots of stuff with clicsargent and when I was working with them they were given a house worth 3 million and loads of money to make it into a place for teenagers with cancer to learn skills and help them...

Has anyone done any form of exercise on CD? I was just wondering what stuff you would recommend. I was thinking some swimming and a few light weights, should I have my shakes before or after?

Caffeine withdrawal is nasty! I went sailing last year and couldn't get hold of my usual diet coke/coke zero. I had the worst headaches and wanted to murder people. It was so nasty!

I'm ok...just had two vanilla packets mixed in my coffee...not had much water though which I know is naughty!

Fortunately I have never been in three land...not for lack of trying though! I want to get back to onederland though! The last time in my memory that I was there was in 1998 when I was on chemotherapy and dropped from 16 stone to 8 stone.

Count me in! I need to lose about 130lbs and it sounds so scary!

I keep finding myself back here... I'm restarting (again!) tomorrow so am back here with my tail between my legs and more than ever to lose. So tomorrow I'll be back on the shakes and the water. This weekend done what everyone does and I know shouldn't---stuffed myself silly with as much...

Just to warn you, I worked for a large bank as a customer adviser and they had said the job was subject to credit checks. I thought it was all ok, until 2 weeks ago, about a month after I started when I was suspended due to a bad credit check. Turned out that because I had worked in America...

I think the soups are either love em or hate em kinda things and it is a matter of trial and error to find personal preference.

Hi Yeah, I'm kind of back, just need some advice on things. I had to give up CD about a month ago due to illness, before that had to give up about 2 months before that again (due to my bf losing his job and having no cash) but only put on 7 lbs in the time I was off. Anyway, I want to go back...

My advice is not to beat yourself up, put it in a box and pack it away. You can't undo it but mistakes are only bad if we don't learn from them.

I don't know if you can heat them themselves but what I do is get a huge mug, put my tetra in and top it up with hot water, I sometimes add a bit of coffee too, if you only have normal mugs you can put half in, top it up with hot water and then repeat.

We don't have a farm unfortunately! We have a big garden though, we're kind of known for taking in waifs and strays which is how a lot of them came to be here, including my sister's bf! ;-)

Hey all....1st weigh in on restart and I've lost 9lbs!

Just wanted to thank you for your support in the last week, just been for my weigh in and I've lost 9lbs so I think I'm going to give this thing a go! I discussed some stuff with my CDC like having to go out socially because of what I do (fundraising/PR) and I think on those nights I'm going to...

Just been for weigh in number 1 on my restart and have lost 9lbs!

Oh bottom...I liked them too, but they were stupidly costly!

The problem is though that the Japanese green tea is much better quality than some of the stuff we get here, it is better to get green tea from a Chinese store.

Can I ask if we are still ok to have those Boasters coffees?

:) I just prefer the flavour of green tea without milk than black tea...

Speaking as someone who has received a lot of blood and regularly speak to persuade others to do it I would hate to think that anyone had put themselves at risk to give me blood....plus you wouldn't be able to have the biccie!!! ;-)

This is my sharpei:

Yeah, I can't stop for any length of time either.

I read something about this and it is all about the levels of catechins or something in the green tea...to improve your metabolism with it you have to practically stew it for 10 minutes and then drink loads through the day and also use it in cooking, like cook your pasta/rice in it and add it to...

I take cipramil to control my bipolar, it seems to even it out.

Are u a lymphoedema person too? My lymph nodes coming out of my leg were damaged by radiotherapy so my leg doesn't drain by itself...I'm going to go get the magazine right now! My doctor thinks I have about 2 stone of excess fluid in that leg alone

Ok...feeling a bit better, rumbly tummy and still starving but the sticks say I'm in ketosis so I'll go with them.

My other half was born in VA, grew up in FL and I used to live in FL...we are going back for Thanksgiving too.

By the way, any idea what I could be weighing by the time I go to Florida in 2 months? I'm hoping for 3 stone off by then but I'm thinking this might be a bit optimistic....I'm 18 stone and 5'6

OK...I'm sticking with it, just had a little pep talk off my sister which went along the lines of 'which do you hate more, feeling a bit hungry or people staring when you have to ask for an extender seat belt on the plane?'

Hi again I'm seriously ready to give up...I still feel like I'm dying and shakey and my tummy is talking to me. I've had 2.5 litres of water so far, I'm not in ketosis and my stomach hurts so much. Is this all normal?

Gotta be melatonin...I have spent years on various painkillers, everything from paracetamol to morphine and although the melatonin doesn't get rid of the pain it does knock me out! It is herbal, non habit forming and I'm not drowsy the next day. I got mine on ebay but I believe you can get...

My ex's mum has a Bulldog called Bracken too, admittedly she stole the name from my Bracken...and her Bracken is a girl whereas mine is a boy...

How did u sleep last night Ann?

Thanks...no chance of an early night though, the oh so considerate other half just phoned from work to say that he needs picking up at 9.30 and could I have his dinner waiting for him? Grrrrr

Hi I just don't know what to do, I'm on day 2 of CD restart and I feel dizzy and sick and faint. I didn't feel like this last time, I feel like my blood sugars are really low. I have had 4 litres of water and two of my three packets. I like to save one for last thing at night. My tummy won't...

I do a visualisation thing too, but I walk through my ideal home in my head, imagining everything that I would put in each room in detail.

I know sea kelp improves your metabolism, it helps your thyroid work better.

Try melatonin tablets, you can get them at health food places, they work for me and they are non habit forming and all that good stuff. I'm a insomniac too...but they have really helped. It might just be that you don't need the regulation 8 hours, we are not all the same, some of us need 12...

Its quite a posh gym too...an Esporta one so I might have to get rid of my holey Asda trackies for some swanky ones lol!

Hi It went amazing! She is lovely, my only problem with her is that she has never had a major weight problem, I would much rather have a counsellor that has lost loads of weight on the diet, from what I could see she might have only had a stone to lose but she was very honest about never having...

I started a few months ago and then gave up and I'm restarting tomorrow. I find it cheaper than eating on the whole because I'm not getting takeaway and I'm not going out getting drunk!

Hey I'm Heather, restarting CD..was on it a few months back, went from 18st10lbs to 16st 7 in 2 months then had to stop due to having no money and little motivation. Got a new job now with free gym and new things to motivate me so hopefully will see this thing through now. I have been to my new...

I'm agreeing with you, I don't know if you paid this woman to look after your kids or not but she was there to do a job not socialise with her friends. In this day and age you can't be too careful with who you have around your kids too...

My motivations are similar but I also use it as a cover to avoid doing things I fear. My bf bought me one of those special experiences for my birthday, a photoshoot with makeup and all that which I'm putting off until I'm thin but really I think it is because I don't like how I look in pictures...

Something I know about lol! My pets 3 Dogs Bracken (11 year old border collie), Bruno (4 year old mongrel), Jolie (18 month old sharpei) Cat: Sally (14) Ferret: Harriet 3 rabbits (Norman Thumper Green, Molly, Podge) 4 Chinchillas (Mary, Pippin, Poppy, Bob) 4 Degus (Derek, Doris, Daisy, Delilah)...

Hi all I don't know if you'll remember me, I used to post a lot on the DH boards a few months back. Well, after losing two stone on Cambridge and thinking oh a little bit won't hurt...a small meal won't hurt....I gave up and I put 7lbs back on. I've now decided to come back and give it another...
