Thanks Felix!! How are you doing pal? I am super excited, my CDC said I should start the training now, even though I haven't finished my own journey, as I will be more motivated to stick to the diet, more motivated to work hard, as i am still in love with it. Also I have coached the hubby...

sorry for the slack posting on the forum. I have been mentally busy. I also fell off the wagon recently, and have spent a few weeks giving myself the kick up the bum. I am back on it 100% now. I have lost 39 lbs, don't have far to go now, am a size 12 and feel great in my skinny jeans, just...

Sorry ive not been on here much, but you sound like you are doing brill Felix!! I am 2lbs from losing 2 stone...more and more people I know are joining up and changing their lives after my facebook updates... Woooo!

That was an easy name to find, i have added you. Day 23, and i have had my weigh in. 24 lbs lost on 3 weeks, if i find another 4lbs from somewhere in the next week I will have done 2 bloody stone in a month!!!! *falls over in shock* I suspect I might gain this week though as I have London...

I'm a dimwit! Just asked about FB on my thread, and here you are talking about it here...so glad you managed to keep at it!! It's so hard, I've eaten three times on the diet but it hasn't affected it too much I hope...skinny jeans for summer remember!! xxx

How funny just checked this on my phone to see u posted! I'm fine on 23lbs lost in 22 days so far!! I was just reading your diary!! So glad u stuck with it!! Do u have fb? I update my status on there about my dieting quite a lot...and festivals haha! x

my girls are 9, 6 and 2 in september... I MUST be mad... :D

Even though Glasto is amazing, I have been to quite a few others, and they are all special in their own way...still the same "feeling" in the air...everyone smiling, and having a great time. Infact, I almost prefer some of the others, as its not such a manic time, and much more chilled...and I...

Haha, what a co-incidence, its a good thing to aim for, its so draining, and I want to feel fit and healthy, and if it's anything like last year, I want to wear little dresses and not feel all hot and fat and sweaty. To be honest my weight never stopped me enjoying my time there..(last year I...

I am on day 17 now... My scales show 20lbs lost, but I might be a lb out, so have only updated my ticker to 19lbs, dont want to get over excited untill I weigh in on friday coming. I have had a few ups and downs, still very determined, but we went out for a family meal to the harvester. I was...

Good luck Felix, its really hard to be 100% all the time. I have been good for a few days, but had to go out for a meal on thursday, but I chose super healthy stuff, and mainly consisted of a chicken breast and salad... Tomorrow is a new day!!

Can you distract yourself? Go out of the house, anything, even if its to the cash point or post box. haha! I run out of the house when I feel tempted, get in the car, and just drive. That really helps!

10am 1.30pm 7pm Ish...xx

Wooo my scales now say I have lost 18lbs. Day 13 is going well, feel bouncy. Must stick to it. Repeat ad infinitum!!

Urgh it's hard though. Tonight I cooked for my grandparents and watched everyone eat that and pudding...I had soup and black coffee. I also resisted at a trip to Starbucks with my pal... Bloody hell this diet at times feels impossible, but then suddenly you feel brill cos from somewhere deep...

Yay for having fun though!! Mmm sushi! I'm off to London in a week or two and plan to Yo Sushi my diet rather than china town my diet haha! Back to it good now then? ;)

Day 12. So this weekend was a bit up and down. I have been fighting with my internal self. I gave myself a break on saturday night, and ate some carbs! Oops. But I didn't feel too guilty, as I made an informed choice instead of bingeing. I have been strictly back on it since then, sunday and...

im rubbish. cant do this :(

Its been such a sunny day! I have been super busy all day, to the pint of panting with exhaustion...I dug over my whole front garden, (we cut all the bushes down a few weeks ago) and planted pretty things in it. However I stumbled indoors knackered and then proceeded to stuff my stupid fat face...

Damn, I went back for three more. Oh well. Protein with lots of fat, and they were little, so I have started a fresh again. God I didnt think snacking would be so hard to resist, cos I found the first few days easy, I am now struggling.

Day 9 was yesterday. I ate 4 cocktail sausages. Fail. Oh well, I'd had a really emotionally rubbish day. My scales say I have lost 17lbs now!!! In 10 days? Thats bloody amazing... I have just had my mushroom soup, nice. Does anyone else feel almost manic in the mornings? I wake up early, and...

I had 1 cocktail sausage. I put it in my mouth and didn't even enjoy it. Tomorrow is going to be 100% and I am going to stick 100% till my Thursday weigh in for sure. Family problems are a typical example of my overeating :( thanks guys xx

:( its been such a rubbish afternoon. Why do I have such a selfish family. I have been sumoned to a family gathering, that is totally impractical because of my diet, with 30 people who I barely know/havent spoken to for many years, and am either expected to eat, OR will have to justify why im...

Have a fab time, and dont feel guilty, just start a fresh on monday :)

Ah okay guys, thanks...i wasnt sure if I was messaging the right person or anything...xx

mustnotmustnotmustnot. Argh. What a crappy afternoon. :cry:

Hello, I messaged the appropriate person yesterday morn, but no reply...xx

Brilliant willpower gem! Im a bit shocked your partner would even ask you though, I think thats rubbish of him :(

Good Luck, I am on day 8 and feel great...You can do it!!! :)

I dont have bars at all right now, and probabally wont. I think they are useful as a final back up rather than breaking the diet in the first few weeks, but thats all...xx

I cook celeariac mash, not sure about it on the diet though... I boil it like swede, mash it with butter (you'll have to exclude this bit) add salt and pepper, and then bake it in the oven, which makes is lovely and soft and fluffy for half an hour or so. *drool*

Great suggestions, I have just found the link to the foody things...LUSH!!

I took £50 and used all of that as I bought a whisky thingy and a shaker. I took the money with me, as i was raring to go, so I knew enough about the diet to know it was my "destiny" and i was clammouring to get going. I was under 40bmi so didn't need a signature, so i took the product that...

I belong to a few forums, and post regularly on one other place, some of those people I would now call real life friends as we go to festivals together. I must say, you are all brilliantly supportive and welcoming...I was suprised, no grammar police here, no trolls, no snide remarks, just...

Ahh cupcakefairy (ooh even typing the makes me drool haha!) I feel your pain, slow losses are so negatively impacting, and this is why you are feeling low. You will not lose weight if you subsititute anything, sometimes even a bit of squash or milk can affect you if you are sensitive. I...

Great to read your diary, sounds like you are super determined!! Go for it! I know, like you, its not just about weight, but its all about how you feel inside...This diet does make you rather smug that you are able to turn food down, and that you are choosing to address an issue most people will...

Thank you! :) Well day 8 has been so weird!! I woke up feeling fine as I have done al this week, but didn't have time to make my shake, so I rushed about getting the girls to school, getting weighed, and then had to rush off to collect my new car, which I was late for. My littlest was quite...

Don't fret, I think i will stop weighing myself every day, as I think its too easy to take the small losses or gains to heart... xx

Hey SF... Your stats are about the same as mine, 5'7 and I was 220, wanting to get to about 164 initially, as I have NO idea what size ill be when i get to that, as im a 16 now. I am on day 8, first time CD'er though, but I had psyched myself up good and proper, after having three girls, I...

I had a wibble after weigh in today, even though I was elated, I felt a bit teary and very hungry. My hubby called me up especially in the hallway at one of the schools he teaches at to whisper how amazing I was doing and how proud of me he is, bearing in mind he is on day 3 himself. I had a bit...

Aww bless you, I felt a bit like that the first few days, maybe it's your body going into a what the hell shock tactic haha... Keep going, after day 3, I promise it gets easier, I am on day 8, and even though im hungry now, I rarely am often anymore xxx

But you've still lost, which is brilliant! You are going in the right direction, if you were doing a normal diet, you would be happy with 2lb, so try not to compare the stats. I think the best thing to do, is clear out the cupboards, dont go anywhere with food temptations in the way, and try...

Today was my first weigh in, I am on day 8, but I was weighed first thing this morning, rather than last night as she couldn't fit me in :D I have lost 14lbs. WOW, a stone! I seriously can't beleive how much I have lost. I feel lighter, but maybe only by 10lbs or so...Amazing. Now i...

Thank you, I am so hapy, and can now update my little stats on here... BMI is going ------> thatta way... :D

My CDC is quite anti coke zero etc, as she says once you start introducing things that's in the "grey" area of the diet, it's hard to resist other temptations...so for now I won't have anything but water fizzy water and black tea/coffee (boring!!). However she was not horrified when I told her...

Woooo!! I have lost a whole 14lbs!! That's amazing!! I have stuck 100% to it though! Might go and celebrate with a mint choc shake!! :D

Bargain!!! xx

I love sally's! Would love to buy some Opi nail varnish, but its £10 a pot! OUCH!

Well well. Day 7 is here finally!! Can I do a little dance for sticking to it 100% for a week? :D I have been craving food. I don't want to lapse, because im not hungry!! My hubby is on day Two, he is struggling with the hunger, so i ran him a bath and made him a shake in a tall glass with...

I would avoid squash, from my research, I know salt, squash and even milk in tea can really stop weight loss. I wish you all the luck with the diet, it is hard sometimes, but when the clothes start getting baggy, that should help spur you on xxx

What is the plain one like? Its the only one I haven't tried...x

That sounds nice!! I had a choc tetra a few days ago and it was scrummy, just like Mars milk..but then im not a fussy eater, so I bt frozen its great. I thought I could get to 'like' the porridge, but after trying it for 5 days in a row, I definately cannot stomach it haha!

I have read some various things people do with their packs to make them more exciting...Can I have some ideas please? I am only on week 1, and haven't tried them all yet, but I hate the porridge so I am stuck with soup and shake combos for now... Sorry if theres a thread like this...

Good Luck Puzzles! I am on day 6, and its true what they all say, if you can get past day 4, you will feel really great, I have tons more energy, so now im just trying to concentrate on ignoring food, because even though I dont feel hungry, as such, I still have habits i need to break for...

Minxie :( I really hope you manange to get through this sad time, and also manage to stay on track. Write off today, and start again tomorrow... Hugs xxx

Inspirational diaries on here for newbies like me...you've lost SO much! My hubby had the snip, it was so so simple and he was back at work the next day with little bruising, it really is a relief as we have three girls, and I wanted my body back after 3 C Sections.. Hope it goes really well...

You look great!! Men are rubbish either way, tell us the truth, and they get in trouble, lie and they get in trouble Haha! Just remember to get back on it when you get home! Im a fine one to talk, ive fallen off many slimming wagons, but as Im new to Cd I hope this time it sticks!

Ooh LUSH!! I had viv westwood pearly cream heels under my wedding dress, they had huge red hearts on the front... Looks stunning, similar size to me I recon, though your legs look much slimmer than mine! I know its hard to feel beautiful when you are big compared to your friends, but the...

My hubby started almost a week later, but has much less to lose, but he's a veggie, so I hope he will just eat really low fat/simple stuff for a while till I can catch him up...

OOh I just found the Iphone App...Brilliant motivation!! Wonderful idea! xx

Thanks for that, I hope I have enough willpower to be able to get straight back on it!! I am a little scared! Thinking back to those skinny jeans...I was in River Island today, and they had the thinnest jeans I think I have ever seen. I held them up against me, and it really REALLY made me want...

Post what you are wearing, I love fashion, even though Im an 18 (nearly a 16 now!) I love clothes shopping, but i find it SO hard to find stuff I like to fit/look flattering...Plus I love vintage, and all the dresses are TINY!

HONK! Im feeling a bit of a wobble, but I'm refusing to break.. :)

You too! I think the first couple of weigh in's are quite difficult to gauge...my clothes definately feel looser, but I know much of that is water retention... I should write a list of mini goals like you have...x

Well done for getting past day 4, I am on day 6, and found the hunger pangs definately get less and less as you pass the days... I think for me, it is just about changing habits that I have adopted all my adult life, and avoid making the wrong choices, a sausage roll from the shop for brekkie...

I am on my 6th Day today, and have stuck 100%. This is my first time though...My weigh in comes thursday, as my consultant is away wednesday. I am excited and nervous!

MY consultant does 2 weeks on, 1 week SS+ then rinse and repeat. I think i will struggle to do that, as I am in a routine now..She said 12 weeks would not be what she reccomends personally, but I worry she will want me to do SS+ after next week.

Thursday..x

Day 6. Well today has been weird, I haven't felt starving, but I REALLY want to put things in my mouth. NOW. My hubby signed up this morning, and he has 1.5 st to lose, so it will helpful to only have to cook for the girls. A friend and I went shopping in Bath today, and I sat and watched...

Next year is a fallow year, where they rest the land, so it won't be on :( Hence us going at all costs haha! Also my eldest will have to start paying in a few years, so I want to get them accustomed, before i dish £££ on a ticket for them...

Good luck puzzles, theres people starting CD and joining the forum all the time, and everyone been through those inital first days. What they say is true. I am on day 5. Day 1 was smug realisation I was about to lose A LOT of weight. Day 2 was awful, I was starting to think I might have taken...

Oh no don't worry, anything bad I read wont impact me negatively, I am ON IT! It's day 6 tomoz and I've so far cleaned the house top to bottom, and cleaned the kids rooms out totally, binning 3 bin bags of crap. :lol: :lol: I bet it seems quite a long time since you felt this crazy, I'm...

Aww, Im new, but youve done so well so far it seems! Don't beat yourself up so much though, we are only human, and slip ups are inevitable!!

I did the Access course first..for a year..I was lucky, as I had my girls, I was supported financially by the college.

Boo :( I've done lots of festivals, have been 4 times, this will be number 5...This year we are being super brave and taking all three of our daughters...9, 6, and 1 1/2 *wibble*

Great story Felix! I went back to Uni and did an Art degree, I have two years left till I finish, but I took a gap year as I had my third daughter, who is now 1. Hope you manage to stick to it...I think having a break seems to be most peoples downfall... :(

Thanks everyone... I just had my soup. I ran out of chocmint shakes which I was SO looking forward to tonight...Boo. My hubby is starting it tomorrow!!

oh i forgot i planted some strawberries out a week or so ago! Whoops, I can see im going to be a bit hit and miss with this growing lark!

ooh and suddenly there it was! haha!

ive just started growing, it will be my first year. I have lambs lettuce for my tortoise, and brocolli and onions growing indoors...I have loads of friends who grow, so ive taken the plunge in prep for ah ealthier eating regime when I finish this. I cant add a signature or avatar, is there a...

Ooh maybe then? On the boots website, its showing as £1.95 each?

Hi everyone. Day 5 and just had my lunchtime soup. Feel great now I have got over the initial shock of feeling starving. :)

I just googled it out of interest, and the cost seems the same? £2 ish per "portion" and a £15 inital fee, I dont know anything about it myself, hence me googling..xx

Wow you are the incredible shrinking woman! So inspirational for people like me who are just starting!! xx

wow thats brilliant!! I hope my first weigh in on thursday will be rewarding...x

I have heard it tastes of Coriander though? I hate it, so haven't wanted to try it...though people I know rave about it..

Hi everyone, I have 4 stone to lose. On day 5, first few were very hard, but today i am feeling GREAT! I forgot to take the ketosis sticks on wednesday, but I think I am there, as I feel lighter happier, and more energetic. I love all the products I have tried so far, except the...

Hello everyone! I have been lurking on here for a few weeks, reading the brilliant diaries of your fab CD'ers...waiting till I could afford to go.. My mum joined 5 weeks ago today, and she lost 22lbs, after I told her how great it sounded. I joined Cambridge Diet on Wednesday last week...
