Hello This is fairly common, my BMI was over 40 so I had to get the form signed, just made a regular appointment, took the form in and said what I was doing and they signed it and wished me luck. Any doctor should support you (unless you have medical conditions), as you are taking the...

I got my scales from Lloyds pharmacy on special as well!! Couldn't be bothered to work out all the options, just weigh me! I check each morning before drinking anything :-) and try to get an AM weigh in or else don't have anything for a few hours before an evening weigh in. My CDC's scales...

Hello I started at 21St 12lb and lost 10lb in my first week, since then becuase of business travel etc I've slowed to a total of 16lb in 3 weeks. It's hard to stay on sole source - read the forums and you'll see. I think I'm turning towards the 790 approach as I get to have something to eat...

The bars are v yummy, I like the cappachino shake - soup wise my favourite is oriental chilli and the spicy tomato. Had to work my way through the brocilli & cheese one, took some doing and havent ordered it since.

Probably, bread is carb heaven :-(

There are a lot of posts from people struggling with SS, as if that is the only way to do Cambridge. This puzzles me as (like a lot of us) I have previously done WW, Atkins, crash diets etc, from which I know that 790 and even 1000 calorie a day diet is looow and you will lose weight. I try to...

aah, last of the dot.com perk givers... I remember that sort of staff catering, all stopped now of course :-)

ooh... flashing your "wee stick" to the CDC, good thing it's not group sessions :)

..feeling a bit motion sick now

in online gaming this is what they call grinding levels .. bump

..bumpity..

sorry .. bump

you were at the Google offices, so kewl... r u a l33t hacker :-)

You're 10 ahead of me Mellie (oops now 9)

So I just need to reply to this thread about 40 times to get one then :-)

@Rowanx2 I did WW a few years ago (lost loads of weight) and when I started I was the only man, after a few weeks though, a bunch of blokes started appearing with their other halves, who must have told them "it's ok, there are other men there". In actual fact we do get paranoid about...

Hey Dancing Bloke support is normally face to face and involves not saying anything about the subject itself. It's a tough/brave new world for us *sobs*

Hi Mark I think there are probably more blokes than you think lurking around this site (just outed myself), or who are doing the diet with their wives and don't show up on here in their own right. Good luck, drink water. Peter

Didn't weigh or measure you? So no discussion of goals then presumably? Sounds most odd. I've done a few diets in my time - hopefully this will be the last! - and wouldn't have confidence in someone who didn't even do the basics (esp as it's a one on one diet).... unless of course your conseller...

Hang in there! If you do stray try to "think Atkins" and avoid carbs! I agree the first week is tricky because you have all the flavours and some are dire (broccilli & cheese!). I had my first weigh in this morning and felt great having lost! plus I got to choose my own flavours and came away...

My first weigh in today.... And I lost 10.25 pounds! That was with a blip one day and it was an 8 day week but off to a good start. It really helps reading all the posts on here, even if I am outnumbered (being a bloke). Think I'll treat myself to a smilie...:)

Just started this week, my BMI was 41.3 so had to go to the doctor - they were fine about it and signed no problems. I can't think why they would object, with all the press about obesity they should be glad we've taken the initiative to do something about it.

Hello Hi, I'm Peter and this is day 5 of Cambridge for me! So far, so good. Tried WW and Atkins etc in the past, but like the "just eat our sachets" approach of CD. First weigh in Thursday......

Adding coffee to shakes... Hi I'm on day 4 too! - I've been having the cappachino shake warm and adding a shot of espresso (lucky to have my own bean to cup machine!). Makes a verry nice drink, although that was evened out by having the broccili and cheese soup later on :eek:
