Hey chick, I came from Cambridge diet too. You will love Atkins. It has taken a while for my body to get used to eating again. You will more than likely gain in your first week and abit so maybe leave it 2 weeks before you weigh in so your body has time to adjust and burn the fat?? Also, my tip...

Movicol is very good...not as "forceful" as some of the others as it draws water to the bowel and you go normally. You can get it from all chemists and Tesco x

Cheers for your help guys. I can't wait to have a slightly coloured kitosis stick lol.....I think I might frame it!!!! x

Suppose when you put it like that I am no where near using 15grams of carbs on Veg! Im going to cut out the cream and Jelly as well as the MIMs...and UP my veg. The Atkins bars are mainly just for work if I get stuck whist travelling. Will try and cut them out unless desperate3. So, No MIMs...

Hmmm, saying goodbye to the Jelly and the MIMs is not nice! But I guess its got to be done. They were just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth etc. x

I seem to have lettuce (salad) for lunch and Kale/mushrooms or leeks for dinne as they are the main veg I like out of this list. What are the carb counts for a cup each of those? Maybe im going over the the veg? xx

Hello Major :-). Yes according to the kitosis sticks I'm not in kitosis as they are not changing colour! I have cut out MIMs....which also means quite abit of butter as I used to smother them (i love MIMs). If I'm not in kitosis by Saturday I'm going to cut out my other love...jelly and cream...

Thanks for that! I really need encouragement at the mo as I am feeling terribly guilty about eating even though I was on CD for 10 days.... I am sure the Atkins is the way forward for me but I need more info I think. Right now I feel like I just scoffed a meal in a frenzy without knowing why or...

Hello, My name is Michelle and I am 23. I started the cambridge diet on 13/02/11 and manged that 100% until 22/02/11. My plan was just to use it as a "quick fix/detox" so I could start afresh and get out of some bad eating habits I was in.I stumbled across the Atkins and noticed that some...

Please can some one fill me in on a basic shopping list..i.e what brand mayo/oil/butter etc?? Am wanting to start tonight for my tea :-) x

I have been reading lol...with my mouth watering too lol. I am having a really bad day...really tired and hungry :-(. I text my CDC (who lives 2mins from me) and asked if I could come round for a chat some time as I am struggling and lacking in motivation. She text back a blunt text say..."I...

I want the book NOW lol. Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days. I ordered one off amazon. Its not the newest one, does that matter? If I was to start this tonight what would be the best things to buy??? Im sick to death of CD!!! xxx

MM, since you suggested the atkins bars I have been reading up on the atkins diet on here!! I have ordered the book and might do that from the 28th onwards...mmmmm meat lol! xxx Nighty, xxxx

Thankyou soooo much!! That was just what I needed. I sort of went into a sudden frenzy when I read that you can eat food and be in kitosis lol!!! I planned to stay on the CD until the 28th of Feb so I think i shall do that and buy the book for a read. Thanks sooo much. xxxx

Compared to eating nothing but 3 waltery shakes a day this seems amazing!!! Almost too good to be true!!?? I have just looked on the website and it showed the range of bars and chocolate bars?? Now can you really have one when ever you want?? That thread is good but doesnt explain about how...

As I have not got the book yet...pleasec could you just outline the main rules of atkins to me? Can you whenever you want? The amount? etc...please shine some light!! Well done for all you have achieved!! Sounds like Atkins is right up your street!! x x x

Cheers me dears!! Oh my, my mouth is watering!! I LOVE meat too!! I need more info NOW....wish I had the book to read now. Whats the best book to get as I have looked on ebay and there are sooo many additions x x x

Hello there, I am doing the CD for 2 weeks, ending on the 28th of Feb. I am loving the feeling of being in ketosis and still have a good 2 stone to loose. I was considering going back to SW and doing red days but after reading a few posts on here I wonder if this is an option for me? Has...

It didnt work...booooo! :-( x x x

Are you in the RAF mrs? I am..... P.s I have just noticed you changed profile picture from the other day!(im not very observant lol). I hope I wont offend you when I say your behind looks "TINY" and you look fab! Go you. xxx xxx

Haha, we are not camping till Easter hols, just going to the camping shop to spend money on gadgets lol. I am probably leaving this plan on the 28th anyhow...have already set up a thread on SW. I dont know if I have spoken too soon but its the only thing that is spurring me on as I have not got...

Hey GG, how r u?? We have not chatted for a while? Hope you are well. I have just read the above threads and hope your ok. I for one, know I could NOT of done my first week without your support. For a complete stranger to give me advice and encouragement like you have...well, its just soo kind...

Im sooo doing this today. Butterscotch angel delight....my mouth is watering already lol. I wont tell the CDC either..I mean, what harm can it do? Im doing 100%?. I have just looked up your south beach protein bars and oh my!!! YUM. Where do you get them from? Online or are they found in...

You should advertise for wedding cakes for all the brides to be on here!!!! How you make cake and not eat it I do not know. SUPER WOMEN lol. Do you know any shop bought equivalent to mix-a-mousse? My cdc wont give me any till my 3rd week...and am desperate for a butterscotch angel delight type...

Your weight loss is amazing! I can't even imagine being you weight. I am very happy and feel over the moon just to get to 11stone. When im 11stone I can fit into any size 12 in any shop and can run 10k easily. It is a very happy size for me...although my body wants to sit at a 14 I think. My...

I know, crazy or what! We have know eachother for 9yrs and then went to music college together and had many a drunken night in Manchester lol...he actually composed me an amazing piece for my final recital. He is awesome. We always used to complain about our extra lb's together lol! Yes, it is a...

Hello day 9, Well, today I have a day off work...woooohoooo! I had a nice lie in till 9am which rarely ever happens as I am very much an early bird. I obvious needed it. I had a sneaky peak on the scales that weigh me between 7-9lbs heavier than any other scales haha...and it is 1lb lighter...

Oh no, you poor thing. I hope this passes soon. You are one VERY determined lady to stick it out whilst feeling like that. Go you!! Hopefully these bars will leave you feeling "fuller for longer"...(Iv heard that somewhere before lol!). Are you sleeping more? I felt like absolute death for the...

We are both 5foot 4inch. :-). Righty, am off to bed now. Have a good night ladies and I will no doubt be on here tomorrow in need of you :-). xxx

Oh yeah, have just noticed our height and weight are the same!! Fancy that. I also have none of the side effects like bad breath....have the constipation buts thats another story lol....Do you feel quite energised? xxxx

Hmmm, I wonder if I will go back to my old ways?? You have got me thinking x x

My CDC would not give me any bars :-(. I don't know if you read my earlier post but I did a kitostix thing earlier and it didnt go pink like it did yesterday. Do you think it was a duff one because I left it on the window seal?? or have I done something wrong? xx

Awww Mrs, I don't know if I could of resisited the birthday cake. I made egg mayo sarnies for the OH for lunch and just wanted to lick the bowl out after...so I flung it on the floor and let the damn dog do it b4 I had the chance lol. Maybe its because I have said I am going to start eating...

I am REALLY struggling tonight. SOO hungry. Have had loads of water and all my 3 shakes....HELP!!! x x

BEN!!!! Wowzer!! Fancy seeing you on here. How are you? Doing fantasically and looking slim and gorgeous by the looks of it!!! I can't believe I have just bumped into you on here haha. I have just read your diary and you have done soooo well...go you!!! Wooohooo! I am on the cambridge diet at...

Hello everyone, I am counting down the days till my cambridge plan/detox is over and I have already planned my first SW meal and given my SW consultant an email telling her I will be at group in 2 weeks. Im not sure how to tell her how I have lost the weight whilst not going to group...hmmm, I...

Im sure you will have another fab loss. When does it start slowing down on the CD plan? I am abit worried right now. I just did a pee on a kitosis stick thing and it didnt go pink like it did yesterday! Could this be because I left the sticks on the bathroom window seal? How can I be in/then...

Wow, look at ur loss! Over a stone in 2 weeks! Woooohoooo. Thats absolutely amazing. I bet your beaming right now! xxxx

Have you found out how to update the ticker yet? Its not working for me either!! x x x

Mrs, that is flipping amazing!!!!!! Go you!! And well done for resisiting last nights temptation. Doesnt it feel good to have abit of control back. We shall be in little knickers before we know it. Sooo proud. I bet you can really notice it! xxxxx

Hello my love, Yes I am feeling abit slimmer. My home scales said I was 12stone 2 this morning where as when I started this they said 12stone 13. When I got weighed at CDC's house her scales said 12.1 and my home scales said 12stone 9 :-). I think i have defo lost some more...wooohoooo! x x x

You do give me such hope MM :-). Cheers for that. I think I am going to use this as a detox/diet starter/kick up the bum to go back to slimming world red days or maybe even WW. If I get a fab loss on the 28th to make up for Friday then I might be motivated to carry on with this. We shall see.How...

Wow...what a hectic few days you have had!! fab organising....you can do my party if u like haha!! Your DD will remember that forever more. Hope your well x x

Am feeling much better now. Wish I had left my weigh in till the 9th but oh well. The 28th will be here before we no it and fingers crossed I will loose atleast 10lbs and make it to a stone lol...or is that wishful thinking? lol. x

Yes, I took 4 flipping movicol and 2 senna yestersay and 2 movicol this morning. Im going to take a movicol and senna every day whilst on this as I do not want to have "that" happen again. Got a feeling there is more to come lol...

Very wise words there Mrs!! :-). By the way, have just "been" 3 times...thats 4 times today!!! x

The iPhone is far too technical for me lol. I have made the decision that I am going to use CD as a kick start diet/detox and finish it on the 28th at my next weigh in and go back to SW and do no carb red days. I dont think this is a bad thing as doing this has still made me get a grip and shown...

Hello all, I am 7 days into the cambridge weight plan and am planning to finish it on the 28th of February and transfer back to SW. Now, I know what your all thinking lol...I can hear your thoughts lol!But, in my defence I was 6 weeks into SW and maintained and put on 4lb more than when I...

Awww, a new toy/phone is always good :-). When is your next weigh? x x

Haha, you just made me laugh out loud lol. Yes, I hope to give birth very soon. Had a mini one this morning but still awaiting the true arrival lol. How are you getting on ??? x x x x x

Everything you say is very true indeed. Thanks soo much for taking the time to right words of support to keep me going. U really r fab :-). How are you getting on today? xxxx

Thanks matey, you really lovely. Thanks soo much for supporting me. Without your words of encouragement I would not of stayed on CD and would have drank wine and had pizza....I would of then felt down in the dumps for giving up AGAIN!!! If you were here right now I would give you a hug lol. N e...

Well, day7 has gone well. Have been 100% and have got over yesterday. I am going to put my mini first loss down to being "bunged up" (sorry everyone) and only going once in 6 days!! I am feeling positive again and im going to stick this out till the 28th and then I think Im going to go back to...

Very true, Have decided to carry on until my second weigh in atleast. If my weight loss doesnt make up for this crappy one and a reasonable in week2 then i doubt I am going to have the motivation to carry on. But for now I am sort of over it. Its just typical. I needed a boost soo much but sods...

Thanks for your post. The thing is, my CDC is not really that approachable and actually tried to usher me off with 2 weeks worth of products after my mini weight loss. I doubt she would let me go on the 21st, and if I did go she I would feel awkward. What do you think? My home scales are useless...

This must be the worst first week weight loss EVER!!

I have just taken a movicol and a senna so hopefully that will get things budging. Feeling like complete crap right now!!

I have planned to now have my second weigh on the 28th Feb....do you think I should text my CDC and ask if I can still come over and weigh on the 21st to see if has budged at all? xx

No, unfortunately its no where near my time of the month :-(. Im feeling like I have some energy. Felt like crap for the first 4 days but am now feeling ok. Am sooooo dissapointed with this though...it has really knocked me. :-( Yes, I have had 1 big bottle of soda water of the 6 days. xxx

How do I update my flipping ticker....not that its worth it!!! xxx

Yes, have been having 6-7 pints of water a day. I got weighed earlier today than i did the first time so surely I should be even lighter because of that!? I have only "been" once in 6days, not sure if that has anything to do with it. When I tried to open up to my consultant and tell her I am...

Just got weighed on my day6 and 4lb stupid punds down on my week one. Not happy

Please no one tell me that 4lb is great in the first week on this diet because its not at all!!!

Have just realised in my rush to get out of there before I burst into tears I bought all shakes and no soup. Have just text her to let her know I need to swap and then rang her as no reply and she is not picking up. Feeling like absolute **** right now

OH MY GOD!!!! I have just been to swap some shakes and she decided to weigh me on day6. Iv lost 4lb......I am really really sad about this. The only reason I was doing this drastic and horrendously hard diet was to loose weight fast! Was hoping to have big losses to keep me spured on. I have...

Well, its almost the end of my day5...yay!!! Everyday that goes by is means that I am a day closer to being able to eat real food...in moderation of course :-). I am overwhelmed by how kind,supportive and friendly everyone on this forum has been. There is NO WAY I could of done this without you...

I hope the tiredness and weakness go soon, its horrible isnt it!! I am also missing solid food....my hubby is being really good and telling me his dinner is disgusting lol...he is also cooking all his own meals so I don't have to even deal with food. Let me know how you get on tomorrow x x x

OH MY GOD!!! That is amazing. What I would do to loose that in 3 weeks. Well done on following the plan and showing us how its done :-). Im on day 5...have just started to feel normal today. Its still horrendous watching other people eat but then I just look in the mirror and it quickly reminds...

Hi cinferelli, Well done on your FAB weight loss!! Go you!!! Im also on day5. Im going to see my cdc tomorrow to swap some shakes. Not sure if she is going to weigh me tomorrow or wait till what she said originally which would be on Monday 21st. Am very excited though. I would love to get into...

Bananas are about the only food I don't like so not tried the shake but the butterscotch is LOVELY!!! Its like the butterscotch angel delight :-). I have had all my shakes cold so far. Im going to have my cappicino shake warm as abit of a treat tonight lol. Sorry to hear your still feeling abit...

Well its day5 and I feel SOOOOO MUCH BETTER!! WOOOHOOOOOOO. No more light/dizzy head and no more dodgey vision. Got back from work and took the dogs out for an hour which was next to impossible yesterday because I was feeling so weak. I might even attempt a short run tomorrow if I feel like this...

Cheers chick, Im going to try my best to hold out. How did you feel when you first started and what was the difference when in Kitosis? Will I defo notice when I am? xx

Hey determined, Thanks for asking!My first weigh in is Monday 21st...which will be my 9th day on the plan. Today has been my worst day yet. Have stuck to it 100% but have been so close to sabotaging myself. Have found myself questioning whether this diet is a good idea etc/why bother etc... As...

Completely agree with you both! I am going to see her to change some of the HORRID porridge for some shakes tomorrow....hopefully she will atleast ask me how I am getting on!!! xxx

I have just had a reply saying that my consultant doesnt do the mix-a-mousse but that she has got me the fibre89...even though I didnt ask for it, was just enquiring. I text her back saying that I bought similar stuff from boots as was abit "blocked" and she just replied "so you dont want the...

I wish I knew whether or not I was in kitosis. Then maybe I will feel like I am getting somewhere apart from just starving myself. Have not got time to get to shops for kitosis sticks. Have just begged other half to smell my breath to see if it smells but hes not up for it. Any other ways I...

You really are SOOO up-beat and fab! Go you. Please can you sprinkle some much needed "up-beat and fab" dust my way as I am struggling today t say the least...battling with missing food but more in my head!!! xxx

Have text my CDC and asked about mix-a-mousse. Am very tempted to do my own porridge. I bet one of those mini packs that go in the mocrowave wouldnt be far off?? Do you take a vitimin tablet with it? Where can I purchase this bullion and water flavouring...you have given me hope lol! Im going to...

Hey chick, how are you? You are sooo right when you talk about food being an addiction. I really believe I am addicted to it. Maybe I need to get myself of Jeremy Kyle and get some Graham love....or NOT lol!. Your right, I WILL be soo proud of myself when I get to the end...today I just feel...

Thanks for this GG. What you have said is spot on! How do we get ourselves in this position eh? Anyway> how are you doing? Hows your day been? xxx

So day4, Started off well as was busy with work. Had a strawberry shake for breakfast and veggie soup for lunch...both tasted ok. I then gave my friends a lift to the pub after work where they tempted me in. I had 2 pints of soda water and ice whilst they had a lager and wraps with salad. I...

Thanks sooo much for this!! Do you mind telling me what brand porridge you use? I have really struggled today and I think its because a shake just doesnt touch the sides...atleast with porridge you feel your eating something! Plus, I could defo do with it costing less as hubby has just lost his...

Cheers GG, How r u today?? x x x

Wow!! I would love to loose 7lb in my first week. That would take me just about into the 11's. I never have big losses though so knwoing my luck I will get to 12 stone dead on lol...just to bug me lol! I have just got back from a puppy class and have had a chocolate orange shake...yum. Not...

Hello all, Im sure this has been brought up before but I can't find it anywhere. Right, without putting it bluntly....what are you allowed to take to "get you going"? I normally have lots of fibre i.e Branflakes etc as otherwise I won't go without it. Have just been to boots and have...

Hey Mrs, I am feeling your pain on day3 too!! lol. But we WILL be slim:). I have had a rare day of work today which has meant I have had more time to think about snacking/food etc....which I think is why I have struggled. I am glad I am not the only one feeling abit spaced out and fuzzy...

Oh pleeeease tell me what the scales said? My scales have something seriously wrong with them! My CDC weighed me at 12.5 and my home scales said 13 stone...then 12.10!! When I first got weighed at my CDC I was actually happy witht hat weight haha...because I thought I was more lol...it was the...

I am sooo glad I have this forum to come on. I have spent most of the day on here. I almost gave in at lunch today....well when I say "gave in", I almsot thought...is this worth it when on SW I could be tucking into a jacket potato/beans and salad right now.Then I reminded myself that once I...

Oh my god...Im struggling today!!

Have just had my breakfast after really putting off having a porridge!!. I normally love porridge but this is AWFUL! I'm quite dissapointed that I can't stomach the porridge as was planning on having it for brekkie everyday as its not that different from a normal brekkie off plan....also I can...

Hmmm, I think a trip to Tesco is in order. The closest one is abit of a trek away but hey ho. Right, Im not hungry!! Maybe its the thought of having a porridge. Im going to hold out till 10.30 to see if I get hungry, if not...shall just force the porridge down anyway!! xxx

Right, day 2 down and dusted. Am very proud of myself as I really expected to find it harder. Maybe this is because the option of food is out of the equation!? I really have noticed that I have such a bad habit for snacking.I almost went to the fridge by habit soo many times. I found mysef then...

Thanks for all of this!! I will stick away from the chewign gum then!! Hope you had a lovely evening, will catch up with you tomorrow x

U can doooo it! x x

Funny you should mention about the breath GG! I was sat next to my friend at work and he asked me if I had farted...when I said no he didnt believe me! Surely my breath could not of been that bad? What are the listerine strips? Hows your day been>? xxx

So this is the feeling I am waiting to take me over? How will I know when kitosis has set in?

Hello there, im a fello day 2er too lol. Your allowed bars?? Thats not fair lol...my CDC said I have to wait 2 weeks. I wonder what she is punishing me for lol.

GG, You are one hell of a determined lady!! You have soo much going on but yet you have still given me lots of encouragement about starting CD. You have done amazing...keep going!! If you ever need a chat I am here...ready and waiting...and hungry lol! Hope you have a lovely evening, Chelle xx

You really should be sooo pleased and proud of yourself because what you have achieved is inspirational!!! Can you sprinkle some of your determinator fairy...

You must let me know how u get on!! I admired you for having to make your childrens teas....I can't go anywhere near food or else I will fail! Have had to send hubby to supermarket to get his shopping as I can't bare to go near it all! No doubt whatever he brings home will cost twice the amount...

How do you when you are in kitosis??? Can anyone fill me in all its wonders? Chelle xxx

Thanks so much Sharon. I don't know where all this motivation has come from...I think something clicked inside and my body/mind said "enough is enough, lets loose some weight thats holding me down in the life". So here I am lol! Hows it going for you? xx

Hey there, thanks for your post! Day 2 is going really well. I ended up working over lunch so had to wait until 4pm for my second pack....that was hard and I was starting to get abit ticked off! Im going to get glugging on the old h20 as I have only had about 4 pints so far today. I'm quite...

Well Yesterday was my first day on CD and was 100%!! I spent the day at my mother in-laws and resisted food all day....I managed this by coming on this forum and reading everyones diaries! All of the stuff I read on here makes me feel I can DO IT :-). So heres to another 100% and being closer to...

Snap MM, I am having a lazy day soo far too!! Still in my p.js infact lol. As far as exercise is concerned. Im reasonably fit as I am in the RAF. I run 4-6k 2-3 times a week and do spinning classes when i get the time. "Why are you overweight" I hear you ask lol?? Well my body quite happily...

Im on the 5th pint of water....to be honest I think I need it to take the taste away from the plain porridge I had for brekkie this morning. That was quite an introduction to CD...blurghhhh!!! I am at my the in-laws and theres lots of buffet food left in the kitchen from yesterdays family...
