    Question: not much to lose, want to do 810, is it realistic?

    Hello! Well, I've been off the CD for months but I have a stubborn 1/2 stone! I'm 8st 5lbs now, started at 12st odds in Jan. I haven't gained any weight off CD, in fact, I lost an extra stone but I seem to be stuck at 8st 5lbs! My BMI is normal but I could do with being on the lower end...

    Bipolar & LL??

    Hello, I have manic depression too (keep a blog about it at www.mentallyinteresting.org | Pole to Polar: The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive). I tried to do Lighterlife before CD and was told no. If you're on Lithium it's a definite no. Something to do with blood levels and the counselling...

    Losing the last stone

    Hello, it's me again, I flounced off but I'm back with a question. I've been off the CD for months now, haven't gained any weight. Am now down to 8stone 10lbs, so have 10lbs to go. What i'd like to know is how have people lost their last stone? I was thinking about going back onto CD for a...

    1000 plan- need help

    Yeah, I know I left, and I'm not dipping into threads, but I don't know where else to post and I really need some reassurance and knowledge. I moved up to the 1000 plan yesterday and plan on sticking to it to the letter. I haven't been in ketosis for weeks because I was doing 810. I have...

    Leaving

    This isn't a flounce, but it's been coming for a while. And the other thread has just illustrated perfectly to me that I am at odds with this diet, and that I don't belong here. I might just need to leave this forum in all honesty. I had a serious eating disorder for years. I don't like...

    Need advice- should I continue?

    Thank you for the replies everyone! You're awesome. I did talk to my CDC, who advised SS til the 30th, which is when I'm going on holiday and I do want to be in my 8s by then. But they did agree that by all means if I don't feel good on this anymore then continuing is just going to depress...

    Feeling really disappointed.....

    The general rule is 1 stone a month so in 2 weeks you're on target! Well done!

    Need advice- should I continue?

    Only walking about 30 mins a day. Honestly, I have so little energy and my mood is so low that I can barely manage more than that. Before CD I used to cycle everywhere. I don't have the energy anymore.
  11. Seaneen

    Need advice- should I continue?

    I don't know, I guess it's not structured enough for me. I know that by simply "healthy eating" I will probably just maintain my weight instead of losing weight. Arggggh. I don't know. In all honesty I just hate this flipping diet and am so pissed off and tired of it, and tired of my tiny...

    I know I've been posting about this a lot but I need proper advice because I'm indecisive. Basically, I'm considering stopping the CD. But what I don't want to do is go onto another diet like SW or whatever because I don't want to be a on diet forever. I still have a stone to lose. But 810...

    Lipobind

    Nah, the CDC said I can SS til 25, which I'm not yet. I was on 810 for a while and my losses were dismal. I do exercise but should probably do more exercise.

    Lipobind

    My weight loss isn't quick though. It's sssssssslllow. I've lost 1.5lbs in a fortnight!
  16. Seaneen

    Lipobind

    Is it worth me getting some Lipobind to see if I can push my weight loss a little bit? Anyone have any experience with it? Apparently it binds fat that become waste products, helping you to lose weight. But there isn't much fat on the CD!
  17. Seaneen

    A little help......

    How much has she got to lose? People who don't have so much to lose lose slower (says 2st 2lbs in three months girl)

    On the downward slope but worried

    3lbs a week is right on target for the 1st a month rule! I have 14lbs left to lose. I've been in the 9 stones for 8 weeks and have lost 1.5lbs in the past fortnight.

    Being 8 stone something by June 30th- achievable?

    Nope, I'm a teetotaller so not adding anything. I've decided to give it until the 30th. Hold on to being in the 8stone somethings, even just 8st 13lbs. It's a goal, if not the goal. If it doesn't happen, that's pretty much a month of staying the same, and it's time to move on. I don't...

    Being 8 stone something by June 30th- achievable?

    I am eating though, I'm having salads and stuff, basically doing 810 because my BMI is almost 25. I don't think I'm actually allowed to drop back to SS, so as far as the CD goes, if things don't start moving, I don't really have many other plans to work on. I can't drop to SS, and going up to...

    biscuit

    They're a kind of seed, very good for fibre and bulking. You can add them to your shakes and make porridge. Holland and Barrett do them.

    Being 8 stone something by June 30th- achievable?

    I drink 4 litres a day, anymore and I think I'd submerge myself. 8 stone is my final goal, which isn't teeny for me as I'm 4ft 11". In all honesty I could probably stand to be in the 7 stones but I'd look weird I think! I guess it has slowed down with so little left to lose but it makes me...

    Being 8 stone something by June 30th- achievable?

    I'm on the verge of giving up here so I've set a mini-goal- to be 8st something by June 30th, when I go on holiday (well, for 2 days, that's all I can afford). Do you think this is achievable? I'm doing 810 at the moment and am 9st 1lb-2lbs, it fluctuates. My weight loss has slowed to a total...

    This isn't working.

    I think I am eating about that much. I get three shakes, I have some milk and I eat chicken and salad and broccoli. Or am I underestimating calories?

    This isn't working.

    I am up a plan, I'm doing SS and having chicken or fish salad for lunch. I don't know if I should just drop to SS again.

    This isn't working.

    I'm 9st 2lbs today, which means I've lost- well, nothing, for 2 weeks. I could lose more eating. This seems pointless now. I still have a stone to goal and if it take this long, then what is the point of spending £37 a week on something that has stopped working. I just feel so close to...

    Depression on SS

    Thank you, glad to know I'm not alone in this. I don't take antidepressants because they trigger mania in me so I have to be super-careful in my lifestyle choices. I just felt like I was being negative about SS! Thanks for the replies to what is a bit of a tough subject :) Love to you!

    Depression on SS

    I don't mean to bring anybody down but does anyone else find that pre-existing depression or just general malaise gets worse on this diet? One of the reasons I keep stopping it is because I feel quite down doing it. I have manic depression so it's probably just my natural swings, but something...

    Hello guys! Just wanted your opinion. I'm SSing but some days having a chicken salad, too. My BMI is almost 25, and I just find it easier to stick to if I can have a bit of salad. Is this 810, or close to it?

    i'm rubbish at this

    I had some salad today too. I am meant to be sole sourcing but have decided to eat salad for the first 3 days before ketosis kicks in so I am not rabid hungry and wanting to give up.

    How long for metabolism to return to normal? For CDCs

    Thanks so much for such helpful responses! I am glad that exercise helps- I have free gym membership starting next month and the weather is lovely so I can start cycling again!

    How long for metabolism to return to normal? For CDCs

    Anyone? I feel this is important. I don't doubt the CD for losing weight, but for keeping it off.... Basically, I don't want to be back here in a year's time.

    How long for metabolism to return to normal? For CDCs

    Hi, I've read that VLCD slow the metabolism, meaning that maintainance will constantly have to be with a lower level of calories- less than 1500kcal a day. Is this true, and, if it is not, what is the evidence? Does the metabolism return to a point where one is not constantly dieting? Thanks.

    Anyone with PCOS on cambridge diet sole source?

    Hello, I have PCOS, am on Sole Source and have a stone and a half to go. This diet has worked well for me.
  126. Seaneen

    My stone and half

    So, I'm a stone and a half from goal. I've been off plan for about 3-4 weeks now, still lost a few pounds, though. I'm back on from tomorrow (stopped due to personal problems) and it should take a month and a half of hardcore Sole Source to shift this stone and a half. I've lost 1st 7lbs so...

    Feel queasy and unwell and felt the need to eat to feel a bit better

    It takes a hell of a lot to knock me out of ketosis. I don't know why but i have a high carbohydrate threshold. It was the fat I was worried about, really, but to be honest, I'm not going to bother torturing myself. I have been ill for days and been totally straight, and tonight, I needed...

    Feel queasy and unwell and felt the need to eat to feel a bit better

    So I went to the chippy and got chicken breast with salad. Should be okay, amirite? Bit worried cos the chicken is fried. I've just felt ill all day and felt I needed something.

    Grief! My grandad died.
  131. Seaneen

    Back!

    I'm back on the Cambridge Diet after a two week absence due to financial and personal problems. I didn't gain any weight in my absence, in fact, I lost some. My last weigh in on the diet was 10st 1lbs. Weight at the moment is 9st 10lbs, or thereabouts. So I have 1st 5lbs to goal, or...

    I'm very hungry and tired today so would it be okay for me to have an extra pack?

    Anyone around 10 stone and fancy a mini competition?

    I'm 10 stone! I'll join yer!
  135. Seaneen

    I did it! :-D

    Thank you :) I feel better now about STS weeks, hopefully if I get another STS, the week after will be better :)
  136. Seaneen

    I did it! :-D

    My OH has lost 14lbs in 2 weeks! :-O! Well done to him!
  137. Seaneen

    I did it! :-D

    4lbs according to my CDC's scales, 5lbs according to (both sets of!) mine. So I'll round up to 4.5 :D
  138. Seaneen

    I did it! :-D

    Week 4 weigh in and I have lost 16.5lbs! I am now almost bang on 10 stone! YAY!
  139. Seaneen

    Scared to be weighed tomorrow.

    I was scared too! (did a thread earlier) Fear not! I ate stuff too but I lost 4lbs!
  140. Seaneen

    If you could pick?

    Angelina, of course!
  141. Seaneen

    Nervous about weigh in today

    I'm really nervous, to the point where i'm considering sending the OH along to get my shakes and to make excuses for my absence. I lost nothing last week and my CDC's scales put me at 10 5lbs 1/2. This week, I've weighed in the morning on my own scales and they put me at 10 stones, or, if...
  142. Seaneen

    Did I go out of ketosis?

    I am drinking my water :) I should be fine, I feel a tiny bit bad because I lost nothing last week but in a way I hope it gave my metabolism a little boot. I think it's gone to sleep....
  143. Seaneen

    WHY CANT I DO THIS???

    Have you tried making the shakes into other things, like mousses and ice cream? Or trying the bars? When I think I'm going to throw all my shakes in the bin, I try to do something different to break the monotony. It might help? Don't give up. You could try Atkins but then you might become...
  144. Seaneen

    Did I go out of ketosis?

    I had a day off on Friday (wasn't planned, I just felt awful). I had tuna and salad, two bits of bread, two fun sized Aeros (6g of carbs each), some haribo and a fun sized kitkat chunky and one shake. I got back the next day, but I haven't had any symptoms that I am out of ketosis. I'm not at...

    It's the lack of bulk and the percentage of sweetener, it will pass.

    Hello! I run a mental health blog and I have done a complete overhaul and need some opinions on the design! It's quite a big site with 1/4 million visitors so far. If you're wondering, it's me in the mask at an Anti Scientology project; they are anti-psychiatry in the most blinkered and...

  152. Seaneen

    what was your worst fat moment

    I have a kind of Fat Blank. I get shocked when I see your BMIs here because in my eyes, looking at galleries and photos, none of you seem that big too me. I quite honestly don't really notice weight on other people, unless it's *extreme*. But I notice it big time on myself, even though I'm...
  153. Seaneen

    What should I believe?

    I did that, they said 10st 2lbs, that was in the early afternoon with shoes.
  154. Seaneen

    What should I believe?

    Yeah, 5 1/2 lbs.
  155. Seaneen

    What should I believe?

    I was weighed on my CDC scales on Monday night and they showed a loss of nothing, putting me at 10st 5lbs. However, both my scales, one a mechanical one, one a digital weight watchers one, put me at 9st 13lbs when I weigh myself in the morning and have done for 3 days. My CDC did say that some...

    Can we have 10 Calorie Soups

    2-3g, m'dear Holmes! Check the back of the pack. If it also has glucose syrup and sugar in, it might be a no-no too. I'll step aside and let someone a bit more knowledgeable lead the way now.. *steps aside* *does lunges*
  162. Seaneen

    Can we have 10 Calorie Soups

    Salt, m'dear Watson. Can cause water retention.
  163. Seaneen

    1st Weigh In!

    Since Thursday, it's brilliant!
  164. Seaneen

    missed monthly !!!

    I think rapid weight loss/weight gain can sometimes mess up the cycle. I'd say give it another month then she should go visit the docs.
  165. Seaneen

    Does TOTM really affect your weight loss?

    It does, you retain water. Try not to worry about it, the week after it's over it'll even out.
  166. Seaneen

    The mousse

    The mousse is so delicious! What's your favourite flavour? Chocolate mint is mine. Can you only have one a day?
  167. Seaneen

    Weigh in 3

    I lost 0lbs and 0inches! Has anyone else had this so early in the diet?
  168. Seaneen

    Depression and CD

    It will worry people more if you become more depressed. You honestly cannot predict the course of depression. Yes, it may pass but I say give it a month. If you still feel low, or even lower, you need to get help.
  169. Seaneen

    Depression and CD

    Its not a fuss over nothing. Ask for a psychiatric referral.
  170. Seaneen

    Depression and CD

    Lady, have you visited a doctor about your depression?
  171. Seaneen

    Depression and CD

    I have manic depression but recently have been much more depressed than manic. I don't know if its this diet or not. I send *hugs* to you.

    Day Two...

    I see your eyes and raise you my eyes!
  173. Seaneen

    weight loss rewards.....

    Ooh, actually, I will probably do this too. My OH is also on CD so I'll need to wait until he reaches goal too! (He has three stone to lose, like me).
  174. Seaneen

    How long do you think it will be before I reach goal?

    I'm worrying about it a little! TodayI start week 4 of SS. I started at 11 stone 3lbs (157lbs, I think) and now I'm, well, I'm not sure. When I weighed myself this morning, I was 139lbs, but my CDC scales will probably say more, as it's late in the day and I get weighed with clothes. My goal...

    weight loss rewards.....

    Nothing :( I'm skint!
  176. Seaneen

    Do you exercise?

    I'm doing bugger all! But I want to. I feel lazy!
  177. Seaneen

    Do you exercise?

    I am finding it so difficult to exercise on this diet. Mostly because of the weather, I usually cycle. I feel sluggish not doing anything. Do you exercise?

  181. Seaneen

    Question

    What I do is half a chocolate mint, half a tetra, then hot water. Delicious!
  182. Seaneen

    Question

    If you made hot chocolate, though, wouldn't that be sugar and extra calories? A cup of Cadbury's hot chocolate is about 150 calories and a lot of sugar.
  183. Seaneen

    Bars

    I got them on week 3.

    1st weeks weight loss

    8lbs. It is slllllllllloooowing down.
  185. Seaneen

    I feel ugly

    I never really think that confidence is directly related to size. When I was 13 stone a few years ago, I was more confident than I was at 11 stone recently.
  186. Seaneen

    I feel ugly

    3 weeks. My OH professes that there is a difference but I don't see it. I still feel elephantine. I am also bothered by my own hypocrisy. I am, intellectually, a member of the Fat Acceptance movement. But psychologically, I cannot bear to be this weight. Quite a lot of my friends are...
  187. Seaneen

    I feel ugly

    Although I'm doing this diet to the letter, and only have 2 stone to go, I just don't feel like I'm losing weight, and I can't imagine even looking different. My goal weight is about 8 stone, but I am starting to think that even that won't be enough. I have sooo much fat around my stomach...

    You have done amazingly well so far, and only in 4 weeks!
  191. Seaneen

    Already aware how silly...and now....

    Oh, it's okay, it's not offensive! I just get sad when people are down on themselves, that's all. I am recovering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (diagnosed a few years back, and 10000% better than I used to be) so certainly know the mindset.
  192. Seaneen

    Already aware how silly...and now....

    I wish you'd change your name. You're not a fat pig. No one here is, but especially not someone who is ten stone. It makes me really upset to see people being mean about themselves because of what they weigh.
  193. Seaneen

    Day 2 not as good as Day 1!... Encouragement needed plz

    I'm planning on quitting once i sort out my weight. The reason I'm waiting is so I can stock up on fruit and veg and eat those when I get nicotine cravings. You'll be okay! You've obviously got willpower of steel!

    Giving up smoking and on a strict diet? That's hardcore!
  198. Seaneen

    Why are people with bulimia not allowed to do CD?

    Just curious, really. I'd have thought CD was healthier than sticking your fingers down your throat. I also suspect that many overweight people (myself included) have at some point engaged in eating disordered behaviour to lose weight/gain weight.
  199. Seaneen

    Oops!

    Don't have any boullion. :(
  200. Seaneen

    Oops!

    I've had two bars today! And a shake, already! I know you're not meant to have two bars, I was just mindless and went and ate it. Means I have nothing else to eat all day! Will two bars harm me?
  201. Seaneen

    If my scales are right...

    This stupid scale gives me a dramatically different reading depending on where I stand on it! *throws out the window*
  202. Seaneen

    If my scales are right...

    You will! 10st is a lot to me because I'm tiny!
  203. Seaneen

    If my scales are right...

    I still prefer to weigh in the morning. I know weighing at the same time each week means that the numbers match up, but it feels better to weigh in the morning when you're empty and bare. To me it feels like my true body weight, unaffected by fluids, clothes or food.
  204. Seaneen

    If my scales are right...

    Probably! I haven't asked. I hate being weighed at my CDC's! There's people around!
  205. Seaneen

    If my scales are right...

    I do but I don't really trust them. Being weighed in the evening with all your clothes on seems unreliable to me. I prefer to weigh myself starkers first thing and go by that.
  206. Seaneen

    If my scales are right...

    14lbs in 3 weeks isn't shabby :) But it means only a 2lbs lose this week. I know that's good but I'm so impatient!
  207. Seaneen

    Does the stigma attached to VLCD's ever frustrate you?

    The first thing my friend did when I told her I was on this diet was quote the "95-98% of all people who lose weight put it back on again within 3 years". I nod, of course, but I'm well informed and the actual statistic is that 95-98% of people who have 70lbs or more to lose put the weight back...

    If my scales are right...

    My scales lied! Just got digital Weight Watchers ones. I am 10st 3lbs :(

  212. Seaneen

    ?????????

    My doctor was similar, he used to give me pieces of paper onto which he'd scribbled, "Eat 10% less, drink more water, no junk food", as if he expected me to say, "Oh! So that's what I've been doing wrong!" When he had to sign me off for this diet, I just went in firm and well informed and he...

    4ft 11"!
  214. Seaneen

    Next to no inch loss

    Anyone?
  216. Seaneen

    Next to no inch loss

    I've lost 14lbs now and yet have only lost an inch from my tummy, hips and bust. Is this normal? I'd have thought it would be more.
  217. Seaneen

    Bejesus...er, the runs.

    Yeah, I had tetras last week, they're a bit too strong for me! Just needed to chew something, really!
  218. Seaneen

    Bejesus...er, the runs.

    I had a bar this evening and now I have epic runs! Is this because of the bar or something else? Sorry to be revolting!

    what was your worst fat moment

    The worst? At Christmas, I weighed 12 stones. Sounds like nothing, but I'm tiny, as are my entire family. When I was checking in for my flight home, the lady asked me if I was pregnant. On Christmas Day, I went to my grandfather's house. He is not long for this world. He saw me and told my...
  222. Seaneen

    Monday Weigh-In Anyone ?

    3 lbs over here, though I suspect it's more, the scales I weigh myself on in the morning put me at 10st 3lbs, not 10 st 5lbs as my evening weigh in with the CDC does.
  223. Seaneen

    Giving up smoking...

    Good luck with it. Zyban is an antidepressant (MRI type) so it might cause problems, check with your CDC. Wellbutrin - The Good, The Bad and The Funny. From People Who Have Taken These Crazy Meds...and SCIENCE!

  225. Seaneen

    My OH is joining me!

    My OH has decided that he wants to do Cambridge too! I'm quite surprised and so was my CDC. He doesn't look overweight at all (he is quite built and toned) but still, his BMI is 30. He's starting on Monday. It will be nice to lead him through the first difficult few days.

    I agree with loading up on veggies and meat. Don't go carb crazy, you'll find it difficult to start again.
  229. Seaneen

    Go lower bars

    Thank you for the reply! Don't plan on making it regular, I just had a lot to do and no fuel on which to do them! I used them when I did Atkins and they were fine. They're well pricey, though! (And to be honest, I could use the fibre.....)

    Go lower bars

    I was out today without my packs and absolutely STARVING. I needed something to eat so I found a Go Lower bar. It had 120kcals, 5g carbohydrate and 7g Fibre. I tried to make the best choice that I could in terms of food. Do you think the Go Lower bar is okay? I will miss one of my packs...

    FINALLY got the internet :)

    Welcome back! Was wondering where you were on MSN!
  239. Seaneen

    back to square 1

    If you've only eaten a bit it's unlikely that the weight gain is anything but water weight. Just get yer water down you, dust yourself off and carry on. You lost loads last week, keep going!
  240. Seaneen

    i just ate a bit of heaven...

    Oh man, I wish I had a microwave! That sounds lovely. I am going to get the bars next week, what do you recommend?
  241. Seaneen

    Currently on Lipotrim Thinking about Moving to CD!

    The canon seems to be a stone a month. I have 40lbs (or thereabouts) to lose and I lost 8lbs in my first week. Am on week 2 now.
