I'm getting married 16th November :-) so plenty of time:-) I'm on morning of day 3 & I'm already half a stone down :-)

Went to bed last night absolutely starving! But this morning I am feeling better:-) Just tucking into my strawberry & raspberry tea :) I had a sneak peek on scales & 3lbs down in only 1 day!!!:-)

During, just a little bit- the dangerous thing to do on this diet, is to push urself or to do cardio - just a few exercises to help tone

Thank u :-) oooh we can do this!:-)

Really hard- its a mental struggle as much as a physical 1:-(

Wow this seems like sooooo long ago!!! My weight is now 13st 7... So I'm starting this again (on day 1) lighter than when I last ended it- which I'm positive about :-) I'm determined to 'finish the job' now and get to target once & for all..... I've changed my target to 11st.... Willbe using...

I get this, which is why I've only ever lasted a few weeks on diet... I either end up not having enough, and I've actually collapsed before. Or I force them down & feel ill.... It is horrible, I'm only doin it cos I haven't got long to go..... What about the small 200 cal protien meal? That...

I too have had lots of restarts.... I honestly believe (for me anyway) I need to NEED to lose the weight, if I restart and I don't have targets then I talk myself out of it once I get hungry "oh I can just eat healthily" etc etc I'm back on day 1 cos I'm doing a sponsored slim, and although...

Hey Shelley, yes I'm very snacky- I have 5 children, own my own kids disco business so I really struggle to do big meals... I will do kids big healthy meals but to b honest I don't tend to eat the same time as them I really hope I lose a lot this week

So I went to my 1st meeting tonight n they have sed that I am allowed 31points.... That seems like a lot!!!!! I am a total snacker n need to learn to only have 1 bag of crisps, n 1 biscuit rather than eat them til they're gone lol Which is why I thought this diet would suit me as u could...

My brother is, what most women consider to b good looking, he is very tanned & muscly n could quite honestly 'pull' any woman he wanted too, he has been out with very slim girls before, and when I was a teenager he would always tease me about my weight.... His partner of 10yrs is big, I'd say...

I also carry weight in my stomach.... Assuming that pic is off u.... I'm not gona lie- U do look pregnant- have u spoken to dr about it- as u may have an intolerance to something, or cyst or something- not trying to worry u, just that u look slim everywhere else- I'm more wondering about...

Ive lost 3st this year and 5st since 2006 My tips are..... Exercise is key, 30day shred is only 20mins and is really good. I think its better to find a hobby that u enjoy tho- i have taken up modern jive dancing which is soo fun n u dont even feel like ur exercising. Chewing gum, brushing...

No 1 maintains a healthy lifestyle and burns off more calories than they consume & stays fat, it's impossible! BUT my brother is very into training n he weighs 18st but is only a 34 inch waist cos he is muscly... I weigh 13.2 and I'm lots fatter than him.... Try n concentrate on ur body shape...

I started yesterday and the consultant is lovely, but i did go to 1 in feb and only went for a week, the consultant was really fat ( and i mean like a size 32 or something) was easily the fattest there...

When biggest loser is on I watch that, it's nice to see these people transform....I don't personally like any but the uk one tho

Awww lol I bet u do when ur at target, being slim makes people look younger.... Look at this before and after pic.... In 1st half is my 21st birthday... 2nd half I'm almost 30.... I think I look younger now than then I always find when I'm bigger I wear older style clothes cos they're...

Am in complete shock!! After being very ill yesterday with sickness etc I have gone from 13st11 yesterday morning to this morning 13.4!!!! Yay that awful day yesterday was kinda worth it haha

I must admit I'm hoping to b in the 12's by Saturday... Have a party to go to- but not eating n having dodgy tummy may help me today... I did go absolutely crazy over weekend... My friends birthday n there was treats everywhere!!!

River island, warehouse, oasis and next all have gorgeous clothes in at mo... I've just ordered some size 14's.. They're tiny bit snug, but fit... I weighed 13.11 this morning :-(((

Day 2 is the hardest I found- I was bloody starving, I went to bed crying, had stomach ache n literally felt awful :-( I'm now on day 8 n I'm feeling ok:-) don't really miss food, only when I emotionally feel I need it- like last night.... I'm an emotional eater, but it's every blimmin emotion...

Hiya Kerry :-) U will b in ketosis tomorro or day after :-) ur almost over the hardest bit! I can't drink my tea black, I have to have milk innit, I kno it's cheating but tbh it hasn't stopped me going into ketosis and as u can tell, hasn't affected my weightloss... I just can't not have...

I've read ur diary Laurenmay- U sound like u have a plan, u can stick to Cambridge and move up steps like u have planned n this won't affect ur surgery. I think (in my opinion only) that Cambridge is better for u- like u, I binge & comfort eat and that's why I think Cambridge is better as its...

My target is 12st, I start last week at 14.9 and my weigh in today I'm 13.6 so have 1st 6lbs to go

Well done for getting back on wagon chick x how far away is ur target?

It's completely upto u, I think u need to b completely dedicated to get through the 1st few days of this diet, got to really really want it & every other way has failed. For me, I have chosen this option cos I needed a break from food. I also did calorie counting b4... I did cwp last...

Im feeling ok :-) no hunger now, shakes r making me feel abit yucky but I'll get through that lol Ahh restarts 1st few days aren't easy- am here if u need to let off & need support chick xxx

Hey peeps- how u all getting on? My official weigh in n this week I've lost 17lbs!!!!:) obviously I'm really happy :) I've gone from 14.9 to 13.6 :-) only 1st 6lbs to go..... Starting to struggle to take in the products tho- make me abit quesy :-/does any1 else get that? I'm not craving food tho

My bf says I look the same :-/ sod! Lol I've dropped from a big 16/18to a 14/16 :-)

Thank u kezzeybee. I kno I won't see a massive difference in a week, just wondered what others thought as my friend took these pics n was going on about how much smaller I look and I couldn't see a difference:-/ it's weird, I'm lightest I've been since I was 16 but still feel fat :-( but reading...

Infact in my 'slimmer' pic I have more rolls of fat :-/

Every1 with a weight issue knows that feeling tho!

Every1 telling me I've lost weight, old smaller clothes fitting but don't feel like I look any different.... How long til I notice a difference?

Mmmmm that sounds lush!!!! Will b making that when I do ss+ week (am gonna do that when I'm at target to re introduce food)

Where do u live I'll jump in the car lmao ;-) Yeah just totally distract urself! I was ok with mines tea, just fancied it... But not as much as I want weight loss :-) cravings only last for 20mins apparently... Brush ur teeth or chew gum :-)

I was the same when I did kids a stirfry :-/ distract urself, is it worth eating? X we're here if u need support in weak moments xx

Good luck with urs :-) I kno lots of people who have lost on SW x

Have to echo the others here. Also this diet is by choice, you can buy these products but you've got to make the choice-it's not a prison sentence , if u use food when u come to the end of your 'sentence' you will just go back to old habits. If u want to eat & lose weight slower then just do SW...

I kno there sunshine orange which I personally liked

Those 1st days r hell aren't they!:-( it'll b worth it :-) what's what targets?

I sold them on a local Facebook selling site :-) but they're all next n nice makes so £50 isn't a fraction of what I paid... But it's a superdry top or river island jeans lol so am happy n I have nooooo choice but to keep weight off lol I weighed 13st 7 this morning so im hoping by fathers day...

Haha yep me too, was little upset in bed last night then my man came in to give me cuddle and just as he got into cuddle he positioned himself facing away from me haha- poor smelly me lol

Ok will do that, tbh I'm not fussed about eating it all, If I pick at it, mark(my fiancé) won't care- just if I sat there and ordered nothing etc would b awkward :-) thanks peeps !

Nope kellmo- he is incredibly fussy, t these 2 restaurant he will order spaghetti Bol at frankie & bennys n burger at tgi's... Won't eat anything else on menu lol very strange eating habits he has.

Can u not ask for it plain? :-/ arrrrggghhhh he won't go to nandos, he doesn't like chicken:-\

Next Sunday is fathers day, and my fiancé is a brilliant daddy and deserves a lovely day out... Thing is he likes eating out, and he has already said he'd like to eat out on fathers day :-/ I'm quite open to a ss+ day, but that would b my limit, I'd b nr end of week 2 then n would b to far for...

Let us kno how it goes Hannah :-) Thanks for kind messages :-) I have sold a binbag full of my size 18/20 clothes today & made £50 woohoo...everything in my wardrobe now fits n is size 14/16.... Hoping that'll get loose soon then SHOPPING! Lol

Thank u willow xxx how weird 14th june is my mums birthday x there a lot of cancers in my family :-/ worrying isn't it!

Dont see why not :-) I might get some :-) cos my weightloss won't be like this all the time. I'm middle of a horrifically heavy period, which is making me feel ergh :-( I love jillian Michels 30day shred.... It's fab n only 20mins at a time :-)

Very scary- think of this as a safe place where we r all in same boat, share our ups & downs together... Shouldn't b subjected to this :-( keep ur chin up sinead xxxxxx

Seriously it's a troll- every1 just completely ignore it & she will get bored. Don't even respond to her. We all kno how well we've done, comments otherwise r irrelevant

Madness isn't it, last time on my 1st weigh in I lost 16lbs... Seeing as Ive not got my proper weigh in til tues I'm on way weigh to that if not more :-) woohooo...... Last time I did it for 3weeks and went from 16st 1lb to 13.13 ... I finished in August last year and between then & last week I...

Thank u pomegranates :-) I was exercising before the diet so am not pushing myself to much, I think it's a bad idea to start an exercise regime when on this diet tho :-/ After working allday yesterday- I literally stood up for 9 hours straight! Collecting tickets from drunk Uni students, some...

I haven't brought myself anything clothes wise for ages! I have a few 16s already, which r getting loose... I've got to wear size 18 trousers to my event today cos it's only size I got in black trousers:-/ best take a belt! Lol I've also got a couple of 14s bottoms to wear, so will b ok for few...

I can't help it either, my worst thing is I weigh myself at night too... I kno I shouldn't, yesterday morning I was 13.13 and last night I was 14st... I was sooo gutted, but am not going to weigh at night anymore! It was all my water I'd drank! Was so happy to b 13.11 this morning :-D Do u...

Loving it too... Makes this diet soooo much easier nighty night... Hope I'm lighter on my morning wi tomorro lol

I agree x 1 this this morning tv show did give me was an amazing girdle & spanks lol so I will look lovely in my new dress I'm buying for my friends party in 3 weeks lol will post pics of course lol

Ur tummy is fine, ok was bit large in 1st pic, but in 2nd... It's smooth, mine all folds in on itself- makes me feel sick :-(

I'm on Facebook if any1 wants to add me- I'm a nightmare for putting diet/fitness stuff on there lol its Cassie nearly barber smith

I'm joining slimming world too as ther one right by my house n I already have books etc (from various failed attempts... Am actually really excited about starting cos my book has my last weight innit as 15st 4lbs so they will b well impressed when I walk in at 12st lol

Thank u so much willow- so so sweet of u to say x I am so embarrassed about pic- n if I wasn't doing anything about it then I wouldn't have posted- but I kno I'm going to shed it. My legs r weird- even when I was 19st they were like that lol It does look weird- and cos I mainly carry weight on...

I'm happy to show my support to u x look out for my diary- I enjoy chatting to others onnit :-)

I do exactly the same as that pomegranates- Ive got a diary on here & I just updated it and was saying the same thing-I keep thinking about my food when I'm finished- not crap- just lovely yummy nutritional meals! I enjoy lean meats, veg actually all healthy stuff (just not as much as crisps &...

Am tucked up in bed at end of day 4... Did a personal training session today (1hour & outdoors in rubbish weather) I actually don't kno how I got through it lol. This for me isn't just about lbs... It's about changing my shape and setting me up for when Cambridge ends in about 4 weeks (only...

Imagine the miserable year u would have if u craved food the whole time... I can't believe any1 could stick to it for a long period like that if they didn't block out food. Ur gonna get to ur (healthy & realistic) goal, with a lot of support from us miniminners lol xxx

I have found u a massive support, and an inspiration to me, as I'm only on day 4 and ur on week 13- it's amazing! The thing with this diet is that the whole point is to abstain from food to lose the weight, when u have abstained from food for as long as u have, or infact r as strong minded &...

100% worked out better for me :-) i lived on isle of wight til 5 years ago which was very claustophobic, now i live in dorset, am no longer homeless- infact have a beautiful house, and am getting married next year- which is obviously another incentive, as my partner is so skinny (and he eats...

Harder than mine tho cos I lost 5st just by being Stressed

I kno, it's a lovely feeling, I'm about half stone off being lightest since 16. I got pregnant at 16 and weighed 12st 6 at my 1st Drs app (I saw it on my notes I've still got)..... Let's put it this way I was a size 20 and about 16st after giving birth to her (and got bigger with 2nd) it was...

U got into the 16s!!!!!! Yay well done:-) I've just got into the 13s now! Such an acheivement to go into a different number in stones!!:-D

I can notice it in ur arms and legs! Ur arms r def narrower in 2nd pic, and ur legs... If u look at 1st pic the is no definition in the bottom of ur bum & top of ur thigh... If that makes sense, but in 2nd pic there is the rounded bit @ the bottom of ur bum then goes into thigh.... I sound like...

:-D yay well done!!!!:-)

Ooooh thanks for reminding me, I got a £80 voucher for local salon to have any treatment i want :-) Oooh completely forgot about that! Think I'll use that for when I get in 12's :-) Those flip flops r gorgeous aren't they!! They're £15 in monsoon/accessorize if u want them lol the detail is...

Treating urself is the best booster ever!!! On Monday I brought myself a pair of stunning flip flops from monsoon and lovely pepp toe espadrilles from river island... Really I wanted clothes but not now! Not size 16 so I got footwear and new make up & perfume:-) felt sooo good, and looking at...

I like veg & leek & potato soup... I also have to put pepper in.... The shakes r ok but prefer the tetras. N I love the cranberry crunch bar :-)

My CDC said that i could have 3 if I wanted, tbh she is so chilled lol not the best CDC lol but it suits me.... I feel ok on 3 shakes, I also have bars in there too. Another CDC I had insisted I had 4 but tbh it made absolutely no difference to my loss either way

Hey Hannah my wi is tues morning, I started this tues just gone.... Was my daughters 12th birthday on Monday so had to eat her party food before I embarked on this! My goal is 12st but once I get down to that I will go on SW or ww and lose the rest, to whatever I feel happy with... Have no...

Thanks for support guys.... I kno I've done amazingly over the years, but I'm hungry for more (excuse the pun lol) Im on day 4 today, have just had cup of tea ... N feeling satisfied lol I've gotta personal training session today & am scared cos she works me hard & I can't tell her I'm on...

YESSSSS! Its day 4 and I'm 13st 13!!! Yay that will b last time I'm ever in the 14st's - feel so sooo good, also since tues I've gone from obese to just overweight :-) Thank u em butterfly :-) yes I've been some sort of baby machine! Lol

End of day 3... Omg feel sooo much better than I did last night. Feel abit hungry, but it doesn't hurt like it did last night. Think it's more cravings tonight, cooked a lovely spag Bol & garlic bread, the smell was torture and had to do food shop, which is a challenge too. But I got through it...

That's the joy of Zumba tho isn't it lol

Ru doing ss, if so make sure u have a shake about half hour before u go and stretch ur leg muscles... I found my legs went like lead, something to do with acid going to muscles when in ketosis, really weird. But I enjoyed it :-) have fun!:-)

Im so untoned that tbh I haven t noticed much, I'm on day 9 of it (and day 3 of ss) but have done the full 30 days before, last time I noticed my fitness levels really increasing but this time since on ss it is a lot harder lol but I can do it & take my fitness seriously and believe that is the...

Yes I do it :-) I'm on ss, but I've did it before I started so am carrying it on

Hence why i put LOT in capitals lol maybe she onky like 4ft lol

I doubt it's that bad hun, just carry on- don't think 1 little chicken noodle cup a soup could do too much damage

I've just caught up with it (it's on series link on sky+) She did eat a massive amount- I kno when I've tried & eaten healthily before, I do conveniently forget the Kids left over chicken nugget I popped in my mouth, spoon I licked, biscuit I had... But they forget whole meals!!! It's crazy...

Ive got that apron tummy too :-( have had 5 kids including 2yr old twins... My stomach is errgh, but it's the sides that get to me more Example!:-/

Im on day 3.... Last night i went to bed crying, my stomach rumbling, my 12 yr old was passing her birthday sweets round, and had picnic (i cut up a cambridge bar) there is ALWAYS going to be a reason why it shouldnt work, but u can make it work. I feel 100% different today than i did yesterday...

I have a few veg ones, i have to put a pinch of pepper in them to give them a bit more flavour...not sure if thats allowed - but i have found it ok.

Last time I did it I lost 2st 1lb in 3 weeks- my CDC said I had her highest 1st week weight loss of 17lbs in 1st week!! This was last August- I'm now on day 3 and have already lost 8lbs (I can't help weighing myself everyday)

So we pretty much have same weightloss target :-) I don't work during week, but when half term it's hard cos I'm seeing kids eat lunch, lunchtimes n Eve's is when I pig out (normally skip breakfast & dinner) I work most weekends, I do kids parties, which is hard cos mostve my prizes r sweeties...

Thank u Claire :-) what r ur goals?

I didnt do diary in 1st 2 days, as I honestly wasn't sure I'd make it to day 3 :-/ My name is Cassie, I'm 29 & have 5 children- Leah 12,Connor 10, Matilda 5 & twins Jenson & jemima 2.... So it's been very easy for me to not diet as I have snacks around all the time. That was my issue- I...

Ah ok

I'm on ss and I currently have 2 shakes/soups & 1 bar per day - could 1 of these bars b an Atkins bar? As they're sooo much nicer. Would it knock me out of ketosis?

It's got to 1 day lol

Is she slim then? My partner is tiny & eats loads of crap!:-/

I've always struggled with my weight n I'm turning 30 this oct n I realised that I wear clothes that suit me- not what I like! I would love to chuck on a pair of jeans & I superdry tshirt- but biggest superdry size is wayyyy to small n my fat tummy looks awful. I want to choose clothes because I...

That's a lovely incentive 4u too sinead :-) I've just had my 2nd meal (soup) & actually feel satisfied & not hungry at all, like I was yesterday .... Tomorro I'm going out to meet friend in pub for a drink, I'm happy with sparkling water but she's going to eat :-( she feels bad but im meeting...

Hey hun I'm on day 2, I kno what u mean- I did cd successfully last year- but came off- have kept weight off (other than 6lbs) but want to lose more is my bmi is 29- I have re started over & over since then, but always caved by teatime... Ate healthily for a few days then went back to my old...

Find 1st couple of days so crappy, waiting for ketosis to kick in, fighting those hunger pains, have that argument with urself that u could 'just eat healthily' (but never do) These days r one of the hardest challenges I've ever faced -and I have 5 kids! I'm a serial weigher & have to weigh...

Me to lol

I would just to check the difference- u only need to do it this once so u can see difference

When I did it last time I was exactly the same- the thought of it made me gag, I just couldn't face it, the texture, the flavour- everything- I just didn't want it...... In week 3 I was sorting the kids out then everything went black n I passed out whilst looking after my twins .... This was...

I have put on 6lbs- but only these last few weeks with bbq's etc- i seem to swing that 6lbs on & off- at moment I'm 6lb up :-/ I've had a tetra shake this morning & just had my 2nd - a veg soup :-) am sipping a coffee- I do have drop of milk in cos I can't stand it black -didn't affect my...

What's ur fb name? Or add me Cassie nearly barber smith

I'm restarting today- did it before last year & lost 2st in 3 weeks.... Started today & errrggghhh hate the 1st few days :-/

If that doesn't inspire the original post nothing will! :-) u look absolutely amazing! I have been a 24 and now a 16- but not all from Cambridge- went from 16st size 20 to size 16 on Cambridge

Omg that's amazing!!! Such a difference!!! It's weird cos dunno if it's just me but I don't see it til I look @pics lol

I was 25 in 1st pic & 29 now :-)

I find buffets etc really hard- hence why I cracked at weekend :-( but I do find little boosts help me.... We all need a goal, even if it's a mini goal- got to b something, I've got a few :-)

I edited these 2 pics of myself to boost myself- u can do this at any stage in ur weightloss journey to boost u

Agree with xsinead- the 1st week goes sooo slow on Cambridge .... Soon it'll b easier:-) last time I did it, in week 2 I went to a baby shower n wasn't even bothered by the food & my poor friends were apologising to me whilst stuffing ther skinny faces lol

I started on Friday- did really well all that day- then my weekend was actually full of bbq's & I completely caved and ate crap- now I'm on day 1 again today- and it's only lunchtime & I'm bloody starving!!! Nothing prepares u for the hunger, not only the physical hunger but the mental- I use...

Oh and I've got 2 1/2 st to lose!

Thank u hun- I have been off Cambridge for few months and have gained 8lbs so here I am on day 1 before my weight gets to much again x I'm on fb too if any1 else is Cassie nearly barber smith. I really struggle cos I love my food

It's hard to tell in body cos its at different angles-but most definitely in ur face! Check out my profile pictures from 16 1/2 stone to 14st

The pics r pretty mixed, but hopefully u can see difference in me

U should def avoid the food at school:-/ easier said than done. Your tiredness will improve if u eat properly, if ur thyroid function is normal then that won't be affecting tiredness or weightloss. I have no thyroid gland at all and have a stable thyroid function from levothyroxine & have lost...

At least ur 2 stone down from where u were before hun x

Have suffered with my weight all of my adult life- and have lost 4st in 7years with various diets - going from 18 to 14st - in the summer (11) I was 16st and miserable, with Cambridge I get down to 14st but then seem to come off and return between this and 15.... Only want to lose 1 st8lbs and...

Hiya, I've been on Cambridge a couple of times since August last year. I started last August at 16.1 n went down to 13.13 in 3 weeks-so amazing losses on ss 100% Every time I came off its cos I felt sooo rough n I really enjoy exercise and do modern jive dancing twice a week, plus light gym...

I've not got a diary but have my fitness pal I'm cassie25 I've lost 10lbs since Sunday now :-)

Yes I've eased off of white bread (having ryvitas instead -dark rye 1 pt each) pasta, I even leave the rice in the ready made weight watchers meals.

I did this, I stopped Cambridge on Monday 19th (mon last week) and in my 1st week I put on 8lb!!! I was absolutely mortified, but I stuck at it n since Sunday I've lost 5lbs so am feeling good about it now, I am only 3lbs from original weight n I'm not struggling on diet & am having great fun at...

Many thanks!!!:-)

Thank u ... 6.7 fat .... Fibre 0.2g X

Couldnt resist a mr Kipling lemon mini classic cake after my lunch today :-/ but need to kno points so that I make sure I keep within my points for rest of day!! They're 152 cals, 21.4g carbs, 1.3 protien, sat fat 2.8 Thank u xx

Thank u hun that's a great help :-)

Can't afford online as my bank account isn't happy lol and the group nr me is at a time I can't go. I kno how many pro points im allowed but what is free from points?

Mine is 11st by my 30th which is 7th oct-but my party is 6th :-) Thank u do much chick x can write all my meal plans out ready :-)

Hiya, I'm currently on Cambridge diet for 3weeks for wedding dress shopping but then I'm starting weight watchers for 1st time ever! I want to be really organised n have food plan ready to go when I start, so was wondering how many points I would need to eat per day so I can write my menus up...

Oh I know! I love twix's n in every blimmin ad break I see it getting snapped in half in all it's gorgeous glory! B@"&*^ds!! Lol

I'm at end of day 6 too xx n am 14.6 now so am similar weight to u also xxx it'll b worth resisting in the end :-) u will look fab in ur christening dress!!! :-D

I can't do my gym workouts at all at no cos my muscle r like on fire, n I'm knackered straight away lol I've got some light swimming and a Pilates class booked in this week- was training for 5k race for life, but as that's in June n I will b finished with this diet by end of march I will just...

I had to write cos I've had such a rocky day..... Was going so well til this eve, a client of my partners dropped round a big box of chocs & my kids brought home a plate of cakes from a party to share with family, and I've cooked a roast for every1 today! I'm on day 6 n although I'm not feeling...

Itll mean u put on bit of weight, and you will come out of ketosis so will have to go through those gruelling 1st days again. Its upto u whether u think its worth it?! I would say no, u have come so far and why undo it?!

To be fair it was me who suggested bacon, I didn't even think of eggs!:-/ she just said it wouldn't do me to much harm or knock me out of ketosis. I weighed myself this morning n I'm 2 1/2 lbs lighter than last night so must've been ok. N feel I can face a shake again today :-)

1st days r the hardest after that, I wouldn't say cravings go (they don't for me) but they don't preoccupy u, they're not driven by hunger. I get amazing losses, I only started back on tues, I'm in ketosis now n not hungry at all and I'm lost an almighty 12lbs :-/ assuming mostly water weight...

My dad recently passed away from oesophagul cancer, which resulted in him not being about to eat.. His tummy always rumbled and he didn't feel any hunger, but his tummy had other ideas! Lol

Ok thanks :-) am not feeling hungry now so think I'm fine, won't b able to manage shakes today x

Yes I left the fat n I microwaved it instead of frying it, i kno I won't have had enough nutrients, but who does when they have tummy bug, my children all have it n they're eating dry biscuits n very lightly spread toast to settle there's which I knew I couldn't have so thought I'd just eat...

Had stomach bug over night n early hours today & this afternoon needed food to settle my stomach. I phoned my CDC n she said I could eat bacon if I needed to n it wouldn't harm me. So I microwaved 4 rashers and cut off the fat, will this ruin my diet? Very worried as this is day 4 n it only just...

Hiya, i have fallen off wagon a few times, but basically have discovered that when this happens i talk myself out of the diet rather than give into hunger..... I really want to b slim, have been overweight since my teens and as my name suggests, im 30 this year (oct) and want to wear a lipsy...

Have brought some jellies :-) will have one later :-) oooh never heard of scan bran, will give that a try :-) bet u could improvise it to make it less syns too :-D

Hiya I have been kn slimming world 3 days now & am finding it fab:-) BUT I am wondering what I can have as a dessert... I am currently having a meringue nest 2.5syns with fresh fruit & muller light. But I kno they're r other desserts I could have, I heard of lemon cous cous desserts n weetabix...

Ahhhh oops ive had about 5 of these this week thinking they were syn free lol

I think u r meant to lay off, but u can go if u want, but listen to ur body, take it slowly. That's what I do x n I'm fine x

Had to resist today as my man made eeveryone spag bol with grated cheese and garlic bread....and there was left overs on the hob! I didnt so much as give it a sniff.... Was very proud of myself and think to myself, i can have lovely healthy meals when im slim, i will make spag bol with quorn...

I also have twins- theyre 2 and 3 other kids 5,10 & 11 x ive just completed my 1st week and have lost a mental 18lbs!!!! Ive gone from 15.11 to 14.7, tho i did eat alot over xmas n only started 27th so i probably weighed myself and was full of food lol

Yes tetrasare alot more bearable buti dont enjoy them at all... I wouldnt survive on powdered shakes, nothing worse when u feel sick u glug down powdery water lol

I'm gonna have lots of soups this week n get through it, but if it continues I will have to have bars cos I can't run on nothing, I have 5 kids n somedays I struggle to get 1 down

U would b surprised how many of my friends would risk there lives n take these to lose weight ... It does work tho that's the annoying thing!

Errrr technically yes but u could go into heart failure so I won't do that.... Wen I was young n stupid I did this to lose weight.... It does work, but I got very ill n nearly damaged my heart s after a massive telling off from my mum I vowed never to do it again, plus I have 5 kids so wouldn't...

Yay I won't let my blue team members down!!!!:-D I take thyroxine as I have no thyroid gland so my metabolic rate is set by medication n is quite high so hoping this reflects in big numbers.... Started a week ago n lost 18lb in week 1.... Wish that could've been reflected in this comp haha

Have been on Cambridge for a week... N amazingly I've lost 18lbs!!!! Mental... Dunno how that even possible lol this is a restart from the summer. The one thing I really struggle with is tha shakes:-/ I have to force them down n have been sick :-( I feel really weak n shaky cos I'm not taking...

Yay that's fab :-)

Forgot to say... Have 5st to lose

I started back yesterday, after doing so well in summer (I lost 2st 1lb in 3 weeks) but my dad came to stay with me n I cared for him with terminal cancer which shifted my focus n I would snack.... I put on 1 1/2st of what I lost, so not catastrophic... At least I'm lighter than wen I started...

I'm exactly the same miss17, I do so do well and I just ruin it, I don't get it, very frustrating! :-( I'm afraid I caved, and wen cooking my 5 kids jacket potato and tuna mayo, forkfuls went in before I knew what I was doing!!! But I've decided to not have my 4th shake now and just hold out...

That's meant to b 5ft. 8 inches tall not 5ft!!

Hi guys After losing 2st 1lb in 3 weeks in end aug/ sept. I came off the wagon... Had sooo many trips away, my birthday and social events I just couldn't stick to it. Today, after my friends baby shower and to much food, I'm back and in need of help... I'm so frustrated with myself cos I did so...

Firstly how can u upload pics from iPhone on here? Secondly... I'm on day 3 SS and today is like the WORST day imaginable.. As it's mil's birthday and we r doing a surprise party for her, ive been baking cakes, making vol au vonts, cheese/pineapple, quiche etc..... And have not picked a...

Thank u debziedoo :-) Am feeling soooo good :-) I am on 4 tetras a day as I'm 5ft 8 so far I've had 1 1/2 cos I just have sips wen I go out into the kitchen:-) I'm not hungry n feeling soooo good:-)

I followed Cambridge SS for 3 weeks, being 100% then my CDC buggered off on holiday n left me with no shakes 3 weeks ago, she got me 10 days worth about 4 days later but havent heard from her since!! I couldn't get back onnit after she got me the 10days worth n here I am 3 weeks on, new CDC and...

Thank u prollybea, that's so sweet of u x I was doing amazingly until he ordered the Chinese, it was teatime n I'd only had 1 shake (as I like to save 1 for before bed) n was in good frame of mind, and then it just went! My bf was really sweet about it n sed I could save it n give it to older...

Horrifically :-( I came on yesterday n my man ordered me a Chinese not realising I was back on my diet (was a very impromptu decision of which I didn't consult him) and I stupidly had to eat it :-( arregggghhhhhh tho weirdly, I've lost 2lbs this week:-/

Thank u jessica, i am determined, if i could just shift 2 more stone my confidence and self esteem would be sky high :) which isnt that distant a dream on this diet :-) I WILL do this!

Just hope i stay in there...its evenings i really struggle!! :-/

Thank u for ur encouragement :-) Yes i do have a really bad relationship with food :-( i was also really deprived of food as a child, then when ileft home to be with my now ex bf, he would use food as a form of control and would 'fatten me up' think he was so insecure about me putting on weight...

Hey peeps... Here goes... I did Cambridge for 3 weeks n lost 2 stone, last week I went away and my consultant couldn't get to me before so ended up having a horrific week off!!! Have only put on about 5lbs... But I am completely thrown out with my motivation... I keep giving myself reasons why...

Tis reminded me so much of my best friend! Her bmi is about 25.5, and sheis convinced she is fat, because b4 kids she was TINY and she wants at back :-( its such a shame cos sheis a stunning girl, and even had a boob job cos she thoughthaving smaller breast (they were about a C cup anyway) made...

Hiya, i have lost 2st with cambridge diet, but began to really struggle as it is so restrictive and it was torture! But now i have decided to calorie count. Yesterday i had Breakfast- 2 slices wholemeal nimble toast Scraping of low fat spread 2 scrambled eggs made with skimmed milk -249cals...

Week 1-15lbs Week 2-8lbs Week 3-5lbs Yeah I really noticed it on my face :-) have gone down a dress size x

I've lost 2stone in 3weeks x had weekend off tho n am back onnit... And is harder cos I knocked myself out of ketosis, so feels like im back to square 1 with that lol
