Hi guys. Wow it's been years since I was on here. Lost all my weight with Cambridge. Went from 19.11 to 10:3. I went so far as to have the excess skin removed from my tummy and upper arms. I swore I would never return to that weight- and I havnt, well not quite but I'm in the 16's again...

I'm currently training to be a consultant and it's true. You cannot do the diet if you have any surgery which needs a general anesthetic!

I'm ok. Having a crap day really. It's miserable outside so can't ( well I could if I really wanted to) walk. One of my closest friends got married 8 weeks ago and we were out for her birthday Friday night, her father in law was pushed and fell and hit his head. He was taken off life support...

Your right Hun. I spent a fortune doing it and lost next to nothing. So until ur sorted just go back to ur healthy eating. Best of luck. Keep us updated.

Irulan. I wrote a reply to you on one of other threads. I was in the exact same position as you. Couldn't take clomid till my BMI was under 30 let alone qualify for ivf funding. Please read what I said and if you have any questions I'll happily tell you all I can. What I do know is, this diet...

Oh I feel you pain, somewhere in here is my battle. For the last 2 yrs I've been gaining and gaining despite going to personal trainer 3 week, Bootcamp, and literally eating rabbit food and very very little carb. Saw two endocrinologists who pretty much dismissed me and told me " calories in...

Well ladies how are you doing! I'm a bit peeved today as I appear to have gained 1lb in last 24 hours. Weighed myself first thing this morn! Basically haven't had a loss in 4 days now! I did get some bars this week so maybe it's that! Plus the days that I do my mahooosuf(as you say bettie)walk I...

I agree with dolly, I too have a thyroid condition and I know that the official word from Cambridge is you cannot do sole source when on meds! Remember this diet slows your metabolism significantly enough so therefore anyone with a thyroid issue it will slow it even further. As you know getting...

Well done beebuzz for making the decision, I'm a bit like yourself, have tried everything to do it before, but I have/had( it never goes away fully IMHO) and emotional connection with food, which is probably why this diet will suit you. It takes food completely out of the equation and that was a...

Onwards and DOWNWARDS! Best of luck x

Water water and more water! And willpower if you can fish that out of the back of the press! Keep at it Hun!

Exact same with me. Made courgette cake! Just doing it alone satiates my appetite! Weird!

Hey betts! I'm doing ok, having good and bad days re break up, today was good and I feel I've done the right thing. Ask me again 2m and don't know what I'll say ?. As regards diets, I'm not doing too bad now at all. Had WI wed and was down 12lbs in 2 weeks so was delighted considering I'm...

Thanks diamond, will give them a whirl!

I had the implant in 08 and within 2 months I had gained 2stone! Had it removed after 6 months, my doc told me he has taken out more than he out in! If I'm honest I think that was the start of all my hormonal issues I'm having now!

Nooooooo not running. I ain't at that stage yet, although I once was so aim to be able to again! Iv been bad on water today. Did a course this morning then came back and went for walk so have only had about 1ltr. Need to step it up a gear! Thanks canvas.....I reckon your right with regards to...

Another 10km done today, although at a much slower pace as I had massive blister since yesterday.....before I would have used the blister as an excuse but I just put a compeed and another dressing over it and went for it, it was even raining! I'm well proud of myself! How you getting on bettie...

Wow. Great info. Will try that! Thanks

Oh girls thanks. Bettie, my situ is quite similar in the sense that he suffers depression and told me I am the root cause of his unhappiness. I know this is not true! He's looking for escapism instead of solving his problems because that's more work than walking away. I am gonna have no contact...

No he's from here too. He's just emailing me telling me leave him alone because I emailed him yesterday morning and txt last night asking him has he told his family etc! I'm going through waves of hurt, anger! Can't believe the one person who Iv loved more than anyone is behaving like someone I...

He sure is, on the beer every night as far as I can see on fb. I emailed him yesterday for first it e since last week asking him has he told his family yet etc because Iv been invited round for lunch today. He never responded so I txt him last night and he told me to stop contacting him? Wtf! He...

Ummm where to start! Basically hubby me he is not sure this is what he wants for rest of his life! Ivbeen in Ireland having treatment since April and now that they diagnosed me with hashimotos disease it was time to return back. We have planned for after Ramadan but I got an email saying he...

Hey bettie. Yup, that's me, was living in Abu dhabi. Now back home with my parents penniless trying to figure out my next move! At least it's working this time compared to last year before I was diagnosed. It's slower than most but it's literally the only thing that shifts the weight even when...

Hey all you lovely ladies(and any gents about). I'm on day 12 now(I think) and today went out for a lovely walk! I'm trying to make a pact with myself that I will do this every day as its only and hour and a half out of my day and I'm doing sweet FA ATM anyway. Have been more or less stuck in...

The taste jn your mouth bevy is the ketones being excreted. They come out on your saliva and urine! It is one of the more unpleasant side effects but drink plenty of water and I also invested in a tongue scraper which I do couple of times a day along with brushing!

Give yourself a firm slap on wrist and carry on! Most of us at one point or another have had a blip like that. Don't beat yourself up about it! At least you didn't go completely haywire and order pizza and Chinese too(ppl have done it) My mantra is " don't waste time thinking back on what you...

can i join team spirit please?

I'm open to correction here but usually what ou lose your first 5/7 days will be water.everything else after that is fat!

Hi bella. No defo wasn't sleep eating as I was suffering insomnia too so hardly ever slept. Plus even if I was, I never had anything in the house to binge on, only fruit! Hashimotos disease is an auto immune disorder whereby my bodies antobodies basically is are destroying my thyroid. Eventually...

Ain't that the truth! X

No point saying "if I only" , you didn't but now you are so that's something to be proud of. Don't look back at things and say I wish I could have done it differently- keep your eyes on the road and do it differently now

Sue, this reply has been along time coming but finally I was diagnosed with hashis. I went and got private second opinion, brought my bag of hair that I was losing along and told him my symptoms, within 10 minutes he told me he thought I had hashis so he ordered the anti tg and tpo bloods which...

Thanks canvas! I'm in Ireland so the process here takes 4 yrs. I'm not even thinking bout it now, just getting through each day for now. Will be here lots. Ave moved home, so living with my mum and trying to find a job so for the moment I'll be around a lot I'm sure! First week went surprisingly...

Wow, we'll done Mickey, that's amazing loss. Keep going.

I appear to be a bit of an enigma!

Thanks for the comments so far guys! Enough- I have attended an endocrinologist (specialist in hormones-thyrd, diabetes, etc anything to do with endocrin system)both here and in the middle east, my latest visit to him was last Wednesday and he just couldn't answer the question as to why I was in...

Hi all. I'll give u a brief run down on myself. Im female who has just turned 30 this week.Did this diet back in '04 and lost 4st and went on to lost another 4 1/2 myself by changing my life/habits. Managed to keep it off by and large until 2 yrs ago when over the last 2 years I have gained...

thats great cart woman, keep it up.and let us know how ur getting on.

it is common that you get the tummy grumbles and the runs, but usually it just takes a bar and your system is then used to it. imho anyway.

well done to you on resisting and making it through your first week. that is the biggest hurdle over, hopefully it will be relatively easy ride. good luck 2m.

oh who knows at the moment felix. they are broken up and the wedding is cancelled officially so its safe to assume i wont need them for now. and hopefully when and if i do need them again they would be way to big for me so ebay seems like a good idea!!! how r u getting on?

hey guys. well im on day 12 today, cant quite believe it actually.its flown by. still 100% despite the rather crap news i got other day. i know im doing this for me, but i think the thing that gave me the kick in the arse to actually pull my finger out and start doing it was the fact that my bro...

welcome ruby. hope all goes well for you. get through the first 4/5 days its smoother sailing from there.not wave free but defo easier as the days go on. wish you good luck in your journey. this site is fantastic as everyone is very supportive. when you feel the urge to quit just think of why...

hi rachy.god i feel so srry for you with the sunstroke. i hope you get better real soon and in time for your holiday.i had it b4 couple of years ago and it was awful. well done on the wi also, fair play for staying 100% throughout. hope im as dedicated as you. have a great w/e.

right, instead of eating im coming on here and venting. had a bit of bad news this morning and str8 away the feeling of hunger just came on. its amazing...i know its obviously psychological but i just wanted to cave so badly. i was sooooo close, but i thought the better of and didnt but wow isnt...

sounds like a great plan raven. wish i has had the forsight to do that then i wouldnt have felt so poo like!! anywhoo, have a gr8t bday bbq and we'll see you around here. x

i used to like all of them(soups and shakes) but this time round, im actually gagging while drinking the powdered shakes.never had this prob b4, its weird. and yes timsmom...your sis is a weirdo for not liking the bars. :)

i get business as standard and bumped to 1st if its available:sign0151:.

i know. i would make an absolute fortune. some of them literally are colossol, this country has been developed mainly by yanks and brits so there is every sort of fast food place here. you name it, its here. which has been part of my downfall. its cheaper to eat out than to actually buy fresh...

in this country its totally stupid. you have to get a P.O box and the waiting list at moment is 18 months!!! if i get post sent its sent to my hubbys work but they dont accept packages for staff as there is 13,000 staff.i could get it dhl'd or fedex'd but because dh works for an airline i fly...

would you believe nat, i have been thinking abou it cause i know i would clean up. i just dont know how to go about it. i live in qatar, dh works for airline here. as regards the food....bingo!!! everythings made with oil and loads of lovely fresh bread. god damn carbs!!!! :sigh: And to boot,im...

yup, its only an hours flight and tbf my dh works for an airline so i do get concessions but its annoying that i dont have a cdc to keeep me on the str8 and narrow which is why iv been living on this site for the last week. my hubby is telling me im having affairs with lap top, i pad, i phone.im...

thats the attidue TJ. you will beat it and not let it beat you. well done for deciding that ss was not for you and moving up because its not for everyone and you have much better chance to sticking to it if its easier to manage. with 5 kids, i think your dead right moving up the plans as you...

hi all. iv been on ss for 7 days so decided now is as good a time as any to start my diary. im 29yo and struggled for most of my adult life with being overweight.all through my teens i was always 14/21lbs heavier than my friends but it didnt hinder me much.when i was 21 i was in a serious car...

well done shingai. unreal weight loss, you must have fantasic will power.i hope i can do it too. you should write a diary of your time so far because i reckon it would be inspirational to all of us "losers".

hi timsmom. well done on the losses, and well done for getting back on the wagon after the boo boo. iv just finished my first week and despite staying 100% i have only lost 5lbs. i thought it would be more as ppl with similiar weights all have had large losses week one. anywhooo ill plod on and...
