sorry I am new to this forum too and I don't know how to do it either. Never mind we can chat on here perhaps. how are you getting on? when is your first weigh in?

Hi Nadia, Just sent you a long PM but got a message saying you had chose not to receive PMs or you were not allowed to. :-(

I need a buddy to start again with.. any offers? I did CD in June / July and did really well for 6 weeks losing 20lbs. Since then been messing around and am about 5 pounds heavier, each week I promise my counsellor I will start again and it never happens. Last week I told her I will contact her...

Good tips spangles. £600. Wow! I would be happy with £60 just to buy some 'temporary' clothes.

You can do this, glugging the water helps a lot but when you see the weight loss happen so quickly that will encourage you. good luck x

Hi everyone, I am delighted to say that my size 18 clothes are too big and every day I am putting aside clothes that are slack on me. Now I need 16's but don't want to spend much as I hope to be too slim for them soon:) I have started listing my size 18 stuff (krr607) in the hope I can make a...

You can do it! Holidays are for enjoying so don't feel guilty, you will soon see the scales move. Draw a line under it and move on x

I had the same problem and it sounds crazy but now I have it in a cup, a 'cup-a-porridge' lol. I just make it in a mug the same I would a hot shake and I don't microwave it at all, it thickens after a minute or so and for some reason I like it better this way.

Woweee! That's fab, can't wait to see this space in my jeans!

Good luck, aiming high is good! X

Good luck Nic, you have done great in the past, you can do it again! X

I have lost and gained many times over the years , every time it was due to me going back to overeating. I am confident the maintenance plan will work.

Seeing my manager lose 12lbs in 12 days, when I lost 12 lbs in 6 months doing weight watchers!

Well done, I am avoiding the cinema, maybe I should be inspired by your story x

I worry about this too, but I know two colleagues who lost 3 stone + several years ago and have kept it off. I agree with wannabe, I think we will just have to gradually increase our intake, then stick to healthy eating with the occasional treat, instead of constant treats and occasional healthy...

I think you can do it. Just watch the 'off days' because I find it's like going cold turkey again getting back on track again. Good luck.

I'm already on the wagon and have lost 18 lbs in 5 weeks:-). Just wanted to wish you luck x

Good luck, you did the right thing.

Hi, I have been on cd for five weeks and have lost 17 lbs which I am delighted with. This is with a few 'slip ups'. You can do it!

Totally agree with saxman! Enjoy your hol whatever you decide.

Fantastic, well done!

I just have an ordinary beaker with a screw on lid from tesco and I add the powder and water and shake it a lot, it still has lumps in but I sort of like them! then again I think I am odd because I have cups of porridge too!

I love all the bars and shakes, I am not keen on the soups but have one occasionally. I was not keen on the porridge until I made it in a cup, 'cup-a-porridge' lol, it tastes better for some odd reason.

me too, I dreamt I was eating sausages, I don't even like sausages!

Good luck! I admire you immensely for being so brave. We can do this!!

Thanks Mandy, will consider this if I do not improve.

Good luck, hope you managed it x

What a great question! I hope someone knows if this would work.

I certainly do know what you mean. This is pretty awful. Don't know if it def cd that's doing it but I slept 10 hours last night and can't keep my eyes open now. Desperate to sleep. Last time I felt this exhausted was early weeks of pregnancy!..and, no..I'm not..lol.

I just had my first bar. The toffee one ..yummy!

Good luck and well done for your success!

Oh I want to do that! How much are the sticks? Can you buy them from the chemist?

Thankyou everyone. I spoke to CDC she didn't have any tips but was very supportive as usual. So I will keep going. Caffeine may be a factor as I too am an addict and have only been having 2 cups a day whilst on cd. Will soldier on. Thanks again x

Hope I can get some soon, love mango!

hi everyone, I have been on SS+ for two weeks and have lost about 10lbs. I am happy on the plan and want to stay on it, but, I am excessively tired and have had a headache for three days. I am drinking 3 - 4 litres of water a day. I have never had this energy and sense of wellbeing that we...

I have only lost about ten pounds ( in two weeks) but I don't feel any slimmer yet :-( sure I will soon.

Great for you! X

I agree with others. Don't look back, put it behind you and look forward only. When I have a cold I always feel like eating more so I sympathise. I slipped on sat night but just moved on no point dwelling on what's already passed x

Guys, I am really sorry, am going to have to leave this challenge, I only come on my laptop about twice a week and I use an ipad, you can't cut and paste on the ipad. I am also not finding this website easy to navigate and keep losing the thread! so although I am doing great so far on cambridge...

Can I join this group too pleeeese? I have done about 10 days on ss+ had a 'slip up' sat night but that is behind me and I really need a little group of buddies to report to! I need to lose about 3 stone too x

Hi, sign me up please. Well started about ten days ago , was doing great not struggling at all until sat eve..we had BBQ and ate things I shouldn't have. But, that's behind me now and I am back on track. How about you?

Wow! Well done. Hope I do as well as you x

I am really new to this, what does 100% mean? I am doing ss+ does that mean I can't join?

Thank you Lily, what a great reply, have been on a 'downer' all day so the fact you reckon I will be back in ketosis soon has made me feel a lot better x

sorry Starlight, am new to this forum and cambridge plan.

Hi everyone, I am new to cambridge and have been doing really well completed day 9 and was really on a high as I was really 'in the zone' and not wanting to cheat at all. Lost 9lbs and was delighted.... then.....we had a bbq last night (hubby organised it and I had dreaded it all week) there was...

Hello ladies, had a good 4th day, must admit I am very hungry now as I write this, but let's see what the scales bring in the morning :-) Tinytiger, I am doing well, pleasantly surprised at CD. Thought I would be climbing the walls but been fine so far, early days but feeling positive

wow, you look stunning, what an inspiration to a newbie like me!

You look amazing, what a difference, no more cardigans to cover the arms! I can't wait to lose my hideous arms. Surely not 3 stone still to lose?

You are doing so well, I have just started and hope I do as well as you.

Good Luck, I am also new to CD, on day 5 and going well so far, I too am dreading socialising but have chosen a time to start when I do not have much on, so hopefully I can get used to it before I am challenged by socialising.

3lb is great, well done.

Very good luck and welcome from another newbie x

Welcome and good luck , looks like there are some great sw role models on here!

Hello Angel, I just joined up too, goodluck x

fantastic, what a great start x

good luck to you x

Hi everyone, I am a 39 year old living in Hertfordshire, I turn 40 in August and am desperate to lose my excess weight, so I can be fit and forty and not fat and forty! I have been a life long weightwatcher attending classes on and off all my adult life, was a thin child so don't know what...
