Thank you everyone for the kind words! I am going to start weighing weekly from now it was a bit stressful waiting. Good luck to you all :party0011: x

I was going to do my first weight in after 1 month, but I couldn't bear it any longer. I have weighed in today after 3 weeks and I have lost 6.8lbs. I'm really happy, not sure what this amount is like compared to others but it's a good start for me. :banana dancer:

Theres also a good website if you type in ilostwhat into google and it tells you what you have lost in pictures, for example 60 pounds = car tyre (I just made that bit up by the way for an example) :p x

I don't really have a set amount that I use, obviously I will use more on the weekends because I like to treat myself! :)

I'm having Cod with chives & lemon, Broccoli and Rice! Nothing fancy but I need to use up what I have in the freezer :D

thanks hun :) x

Can someone clarify please I have read on here that some are free no Syns but then I have checked and they are :s

Where can I buy this...I used to be able to buy it in Farmfoods but they do not stock it at my local one anymore. Does anyone know of any other stores please?

Great thank you both. So am I right in thinking that if I had something as a Healty Extra..I could have more as long as I add it to my syns?

Hi Everyone, I have decided to go ahead with doing Slimming World Online as I don't really fancy going to classes every week. First Day will be tomorrow and I am looking forward to it. I just have a question though, Can you have Tesco Beef Steak Burgers in a pack from the meat aisle, or do you...

thanks everyone. Does anyone know the cost of the books and if you do it online do you get information on the plan that you would get from the books?

Can anyone help me understand how slimming world works I have about 3-4 stone to lose but I cant afford classes or subscriptions :(

Hi there Lin, welcome back I have just started for second time also. I'm suffering with the stairs too haha! Good luck look forward to keeping up with your journey :)

Thank you lauraswift, for the welcome :) Struggling today, was up at 5am for work, here till 12pm and it's going to be a long day - already had 2 pints or water, 2 black teas and 1 shake. Trying to space out these shakes until at least 7-8pm tonight, is going to be a killer. :cry:

Won't let me see Hun might be because I am on my mobile :(

Well I'm back again, did sole source last year for 12 weeks finishing in May. Decided to kick start my weightloss again before summer time. When I finished in May 2012, I was 13st 3lbs - I am currently 13st 12lbs. So a 9lb gain in 10 months. I started my whole journey at 15st 6lbs so pretty...

You look fantastic, well done :) x

I just had two Tesco Light Salted Rice Cakes (26 calories each) and now I want to munch on everything lol! Maybe I need to re-think my snacks :(

Welcome, its my first day today also good luck, just to let you know there is an offer on at the moment in boots you are getting a tin of slimfast for £2.97 down from £5.95 :)

Great thanks everyone for replying, Day One - all good so far. I woke up late so I had a pint of water and then my shake at 12pm. Just had an orange as I was feeling a bit peckish. Is it okay to miss out on snacks? I'm working till midnight, so will probably have something after dinner. Not...

This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but how does Slimfast actually work? I have to lose around 36lbs ideally, but taking it as it comes and was considering going back to Cambridge/Slim and Save, but my family don't really like the idea of me eating nothing especially when I have long...

Well I am back 8 months after stopping the Cambridge Diet. I did that for 12 weeks, starting my journey at 15st 6lb, after a hard twelve weeks I finished at 13st 3.5lb - after my week off I decided to not continue on with CD because I couldn't afford it. Which brings me to now, I am now at...

Thanks so much, I was on Cambridge Diet but it became too expensive for me and I had to give up in June. So I have decided to try out S & S and really can't wait to get back into things. Do you exercise while on this?

Sorry this may sounds totally stupid but hey I'm going to ask it anyway :D I would like to start the 3 pack program: The 3 packs per day plan requires you to have a low carbohydrate/high protein meal, along with some vegetables So do packs include the spaghetti bol & macaroni. Could I have...

Been on CD for 11 weeks and lost 30.5lbs, which I'm happy with but I have had to stop now because I can't afford to keep doing it (not at the moment anyway) going to Florida in 19 days so I have no extra money to spend and I don't want to be stuck on CD while I am away, this week I have been...

Oh Im going to american and thinking about doing the same :)

HI EVERYONE :D:D I am currently on Cambridge Diet, but thinking of switching over to Slimming World because I have heard so many great things about it. I would just like to know a little more about it, how much do you all roughly pay a week on food? How much are the average losses a week...

Oh can you order samples fantastic I will check it out :) I am the same I just can't afford it xx

Oh I was thinking of doing this one too :) hmmmmm xx

Brilliant guys thanks for your reply, I will look into these! :) So annoyed meant to see my CDC today at 2.30 to have a chat and see where to go from here, she text me at quarter past saying she missed her train from the City so she wont be able to see my until 4.30 but I am working 4-Midnight...

I WANT TO CARRY ON........... But I'm stuggling financially, I am going to America start of June for two weeks (kind of a last minute thing) one of my family members birthday and shes not very well. I don't want to quit but just keep thinking how much use and extra £160 odd would be to me this...

I'm so glad I am not the only one, I thought I would get bad press for posting this thread :) but come on we can do it guys, we have managed so far - it's not over not until we let it be. I still have 3 stone odd to lose (want to lose more)! xxxxx

Oh mine was cheese and ham, and then I had a steak :cry: I feel like packing this in, but tomorrow a new day - I just hope I can break this cycle xx

Think SS is 3-4lbs average and SS+ is 2-3lbs average, not much in it really hun x

I was doing so well then all of a sudden boom - I cheated once and now it's happening all the time I Keep nibbling on everything - I've let my self down I'm not going to lose (which I know and I am prepared for) - I just cant stop now I have started! So annoyed and angry with myself - I don't...

Thanks everyone for replying to me, Sorry it took me so long to reply back but I have been avoiding this - I have let myself down big time, cheated twice (last wek and this) and it's WRONG! My head just keeps thinking about food ALL the time now, probably because I ate out - I don't know why I...

I went out this weekend for the first time since starting this diet (week 9) and I have lost two stone, got new hair, looked completely different and not 1 of my friends said how good I looked despite knowing that I have changed?? Had lots of compliments I've the weekend so I'm not...

Put them in the freezer, tried the chocolate orange one now and still do not like them. Maybe I should try the Crunchy bar's hopefully they will be more to my taste :) x

May I ask what FBT is? :) x

I know it really is strange how we are all so different, however I am not going to rule them out maybe they will grow on me, going to try and do the freezer thing see if that helps any :) not sure what flavours there actually were for the bars only orange and mint are the ones I have got. Xx

I am number 24 could someone please add -3lbs another 4lbs to go Thank you :) x

Tried the bars for first time this week (week 9) had the mint chocolate one which I was so so so excited to try as usually like that kind of thing....but I was so disappointed I really did NOT like it at all it seemed so rich, hated the texture of the inside of the bar and I couldn't even manage...

I tired the Cappuccino hot as well and hated it - it was lumpy and tasted horrible. :P

Do you think it could be the gym and walking thing? Why don't you try going back to SS or SS+ hun, you might have a but more of a loss. Cant think as to why either :( x

Hey I am coming down with a cold and on SS, can I take pirotize or Beechams Flu tablets?

I'm feeling tired - at work till midnight - AHH it's taking forever to come around and I am up at 5am Zzzzzzzzzzzzz :cry:

Had my week seven weigh in today after a VERY disappointing 0lbs last week :cry: I lost another 3 pounds (which seems to be my average now for most weeks) so I have reached 2 stone goal in seven weeks (may not seem as good as others) but stone a month is about right & I'm a week ahead...

Oh going to get these as well can't wait :)

Not sure can she not order it in for you for your next weigh in hun? :) x

My CDC told me I was allowed soda water - that's what I have when I go out at the weekends :) never had any impact on my at all xx

I really need to join Gym - cant face it though, I live in such a small place everyone I know would be there :(

Oh hun please don't let it get to you, your better than that - rise above it - there will always be people who are envious & consistently negative, but hey your here to change and your doing brilliant don't let anyone break your stride or make you feel down :) you know we are all here if you...

You should be extremely proud of yourself for saying no and resisting especially on day two - I would have never have managed that so well done :) x

you are just truly having brilliant losses girl - I wish I was :D way to go you x

Well done for getting started and posting on here this truly is a brilliant forum and there are always so many people to talk with (especially if you are feeling a bit off). Have you been to see your CD Consultant yet? The average loss is a stone a month on this diet, but I lost 1 stone 4lbs...

Only my Mother and One of my friend's know's that I am on CD, purely because I want it to be a surprise when people do eventually see me! I haven't seen most of my friends in about 10 odd week's (still keep in touch) but I'm looking forward to going out and feeling confident and different - I...

OMG - I am the exact same - this might sound really daft, but I just keep looking in the mirror and posing just to see them & practice some new poses for in front of the camera haha! It's unbelievable :D x

Lovely thank you ninajw - I hope you too have a wonderful day xx

I was on week 7 of SS - had one SS+ meal and lost 0 I can't get my head around it either :( just hope we all have good losses next week xx

Well done on day one, I tend to find it easier when I'm busier, stick with it and the day's soon start flying by honestly. I didn't think I would ever stick this out but I guess it shows we are stronger & more determined than we think! Good luck for the rest of your journey take it day by day...

My friend that I haven't seen in 10 weeks, text me saying she seen me up town and that I looked amazing and she didn't even click it was me at first - made me very happy :D I'm going out next weekend with my friend's I haven't seen also in 10 week's so I'm looking forward to seeing if they will...

I have been on Chocolate Mint, Chocolate, Chocolate Orange & the occasional Strawberry and Banana that's the only one's I like - thank gosh for chocolate otherwise I don't think I'd cope! :) x

Well had my weigh in yesterday and I have lost ZILCH in the week, on Wednesday I had a SS+ meal and cannot get my head around why I lost NOTHING?? Does walking a lot before a weigh in make any difference I walked a lot and my feet and legs seemed a bit swollen - I don't know :cry: But went and...

Fantastic, what a brilliant moment for you, well done xx

I am 3lbs off losing my first 2 stone and I haven't gone shopping yet, I am still walking around in all of my clothes I had on before starting this diet simply because I don't want to purchase a new wardrobe if I am continuing to lose weight. However, I am going shopping tomorrow so might pick...

You must have all three pack's a day to ensure that you get all of your nutrient's, I tried every flavour there is and I would recommend that you do as there's no other way you will know, I now only ever have chocolate, chocolate mint, chocolate orange, strawberry and banana now. You need to sit...

The only person that know's is my mother, I have just been telling people that I am just "eating healthy" if they should ask or comment on my weight loss....my reasoning for this is because I know people will be quick to judge and I have been keeping my distance from company and social life...

.................| | | ..............[*****] HAPPY ........[:::::::::::::::::::] BIRTHDAY .......[*****************] TO ..[:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:] YOU Hope that you have had a wonderful day & night :) I have done the exact same thing with the "fat" pictures, I've stuck mine's all over...

I lost 8lbs in my first week (most people have a big loss) but I have only lost 3 or 4 pounds each week and I am in week 7 now...haven't been doing any exercising at all apart from the odd bit of walking, got an exercise bike sitting in my living room though must make use of it - but I have...

I've always had dry-ish skin, but I am the exact same so spotty it's horrible :(

I have just ruined everything, I've had a constant headache for 3 days (even though I have been drinking my water), I am having a stressful day have been in screaming war with my mother over nothing, Im working my shift on the computer 13hours on till midnight and my computer packed up and I...

Well my mum went shopping and got tiger bread (my favourite) and cheese, I used to be a mad cheese person, and now I miss not being able to have it - it kills me to look at it :(

I think I read somewhere it was as long as it's sugar free. I use a mouth spray to help. :)

- Most importantly to live a much healthier & meaningful life - Look great in a tight dress on a night out - To not be the "fat" one out of all my friends - Not feel awkward when I go clothes shopping & break down! - Walk up hills and not feel like I can’t breathe & I'm about to die - Show off...

NO hahaha but I wish I did :( x

I'm on SS and I drink 2-3ltrs of water everyday and my complexion is terrible, I never used to suffer bad with spots but now my skin just seems to be breaking out terribly, I haven't been wearing any make-up either, does anyone else have this or has this diet make your skin better?? :cry:

I dont think thats right though, your a client and paying for it, so they should still order them in if you want it :( shame x

thats nice to know thanks missy :) im going out next weekend and might treat myself to one, it's hard drinking water for a wholeeeeeeeee night out xx

Eliana, I wouldn't beat yourself up about it, maybe your body need's and copes better being on SS+, I wouldn't say there is much difference between the two in term's of losses. You should stop focusing on getting back to SS and just go with what feel's right for you and the frame of mind you...

That's what I was thinking, Im on SS never heard of drinking that :O xx

Oh I feel your pain hun, my CDC said she didn't get her delivery because of the Easter holidays, so I ended up with flavours like Fruits of the Forest and other's that I'm not particularly keen on (dreading this week) don't get my wrong I can hack it but I don't look forward to drinking them...

are you all doing Soul source?? x

are you still in Ketosis when you do SS+ & 810? because when I get to week 13 I need to do another step for a week, then plan on going back to SS, will it take me out of Ketosis? x

Welcome back L0ckerz, I have to lose around 6 stone 5lbs (just to be at average) and I haven't really set a specific date for my weight loss just taking it as it come's but they say roughly 1 stone a month, I'm looking at around July time and I started on 28th February, lost almost 2 stone in 7...

Thanks ladies, I'm doing Cambridge Diet on Sole Source :) x

WOOHOO lost another 4lbs, so just away to start week sever total losses of 25lbs (1st 11lbs) so far :D xx

Hi love just having a look at the menu, I think maybe the Chicken Citrus Salad - Plain chicken, lettuce, cucumber, spinich, leave out the red onion and tomato's (however I don't think they would make huge difference) and ask to have it with no dressing. Other people might have a look and...

WOW you look great, just like to say these pictures have really inspired me to stick with it and carry on :D xx

brill, well done hun :D xx

are you finding slendertone making any difference, was thinking of trying it? :) x

My first loss was only 8lbs but everyone is different, some people lose loads to start with and other not so much. Good luck for tomorrow hun I'm sure you have nothing to worry about & either way you will be over the moon with a loss after that first weigh in (big or small numbers)! :D xxx

Thanks so much everyone, going to take new pictures every 4 weeks and compare changes :) I was scared to post at first but though hey why not we are all here to change ourselves, so shouldn't be scared about the way I look now. My jeans are loose and I have been able to fit into jackets etc...

Well you should then be very proud of yourself, to have determination and willpower especially only two days in is brilliant. I'm not sure I could have managed. It does get easier I promise, I'm on day 39 now and it has gone by so quick. :) xx

I feel your pain, I have lost my social life, I am hating it - I'm bored at work (because I work 12 hour shifts on the computer all day), I'm bored when I have free time (because I can't eat). I used to always go out for meal on a Thursday Night with my mother it would be our weekly treat (that...

Congrats, you should be very proud of yourself, that is an excellent loss for a month :eek: xx

At the moment I am a Size 14(top)/16(bottom) - and I wish that I would be able to be a 10/12 one day but I don't think that will ever happen, not any time soon anyway so I'm going to settle for being a size 12 as my ultimate goal. I have always had trouble when it comes to buying clothes because...

Yes, I'm in week 6 now and I just wish it would hurry up - I know that sounds bad, but just want to start seeing some big changes :( x

Fantastic, well done 10 odd pounds is a fantastic loss :) xx

Thank you for posting this, it's great to see someone who has gone through the steps and had dramatic changes. Often I hear from a lot of people "It will all come back on once you stop" or "It's just a quick fix" - Well guess what it isn't and you have proved that with your 9 pound loss after...

I'm sure you will be absolutely fine hun, sounds yummy haha! There's worse thing's you could have reached for or ate especially being in an italian restaurant! :) x

Lovely to meet you and wish you all the best on your journey :) xx

Stop worrying, keep at what you are doing, you will lose the "fat" of course, it may not be as speedy as you or I would like, but it will happen - just think you could still be eating "as before" and putting more on, so least you are trying - go with the flow :) xxx

Good luck hun, sure you will be fine :) x

You will be going into ketosis that's why you are feeling like that hun :) x

In week 6 now and lost 1st 7lbs, im jealous of your losses haha! :eek: WD you x

Just wait till your weigh in, im sure you will have a brill loss & be so proud of yourself :) xx

Hi guys just thought I would ask, please don't be mean I have been brave by posting these pictures but I honestly don't see any changes yet so see what you all think..yes I have put daisy's on my face haha!! :D LEFT hand side was me in Week 2 RIGHT hand side is me just going into week 6 Lost...

Are you doing SS, if so you aren't allowed anything but your 3 shakes? I know you can have quorn on SS+ (if you are really struggling you could have a SS+ night), in the book it just says your allowed 200g Quorn eg: mince pieces (I think you might be allowed chicken too) but I'm not 100% sure...

thanks for adding me hun :) xx

I got prescribed xenical by my doctor but it didn't have any affect on me so next option was to try CD and I love it :) x

I'm number 24, I've lost 3lbs can someone add this please as my phone won't let me thanks xx

Hi guys :) I just want to say a big thanks to you all for replying to me it's nice to see that there's people out there willing to help out. Today I am feeling good, headache has shifted eventually think it must have been from all the crying. Feeling of eating has gone and I think maybe I was...

Can one of the moderator's help me - I try and put in my start and finish weight but it keeps telling me I am doing it wrong and everyone else has it? I was 15.6 stone which is 218.4 pounds but when I try and put that in says I still havent put in the correct format even when I just do 218lb?? I...

I think your only allowed one a day, what plan are you doing? x

I'm having such a strange day - I Skype and spoke to my father for the first time in about 2 years today and it was such a joyous day and I cried so much. Now I feel like absolute rubbish, I can't shift this headache at all and I feel like my head is going to explode and for some reason I...

I hadn't had mine for over a year and half after finished the depo provera jag but it came back on saturday after 5 weeks into this diet - I'm so pleased, so I guess this can mess with your cycle. :)

Wow wish I had lost that much :) I'm starting week 6 tomorrow, so well done to you thats brilliant :D x

Yes hun that's a good idea, I have a scrap book that I keep and also started to keep a blog, I have changed the front of my wardrobe - got my pics of me at my worst, quotes, reasons for losing weight, losses so far track list and other stuff it really does keep you motivated :) good luck xx

Yeah I have to stretch it out too I'm at university leave at 7 in the morning and then I work till midnight - it's a longggggggggg day and I struggle on these long days but it does get easier promise, I just keep chugging the water that keeps me going. Keep us updated with how you are...

I had to request permission from a certain person, there was link when I went on, but it might not be accessible on the app, I wrote to them asking about trying to get it moved to the regular Cambridge forum so everyone can see it :) x

Yeah, I agree with it too and I see where you guys are coming from also, it's hard because there's always going to be positives and negatives, I personally don't really struggle reading about it at all but I do seeing it in real life and I'm sure that there are people on here who are the...

I understand what you are saying but I personally have never seen anyone say that they have actually had a or any kind of a takeaway however, I'm not disputing that there hasn't been people. I myself mentioned that my family had had one and I ended up having a piece of chicken, but hey everyone...

Yup I wrote to pierce on there, I think it needs to be moved, no-one know's about it or where it is :) xx

I would like to see more people posting under Strictly SS, I think it's easier for every step to have their own section and it seems that there are SO MANY people doing SS & SS+....Yet no-one posts on our section :( I don't understand it. So I ask everyone to join, we all have to pull together...

Well done clairey hun, I bet you feel good now after turning it down! :D x

Just been for my week four weigh in and lost 3 pounds, I know it don't seem like much but I really didn't think I would lose ANYTHING at all this week, I had an off day where I had a wee nibble on some chicken and since then convinced myself I had failed. I've had such a stressful week and as...

I know hun I'm the same on Fridays I work 12pm-12am and it kills me I always used to order takeaway but WE CAN DO IT!! My family have said that I have been so pleasent since I have been on this diet, not moody, not horrible, not argumentative at all, it really goes to show that what you eat...

I'm not back to square one, I think I will be fine I didn't eat much I will just keep fighting on hoping these 12 weeks will hurry up haha! xxxx

WELL ALL I CAN SAY IS WELL DONE :D My family just had Chinese and I had grilled chicken with black pepper... IM NOT SUPPOSED to have this so now I am so angry with myself! I only had one bit but still I shouldn't have and in all honestly I didn't need to... I'm on my fourth week and I have...

That's great news hun, it sounds like you have a brilliant CDC there, good luck for starting - you will do brilliantly :D xx

I'm going to be honest, My family had a chinese and I ordered grillied chicken breast with black pepper - I only managed one bit - but I feel so awful, I have done so well up to now!! WHY DID I DO IT.........sorrry!!!!!!!!!! :cry::cry::cry:

I plan to go on SW or WW after I have reached my goal (if I hold out that long that is).

You could well have hun, my scales say I have lost less than what my CDC so you might get a nice surprise at your weigh in :D xx

My friend said that you can have Chicken without it taking you out of ketosis, I haven't been brave enough to do it though even when I really really wanted too! Although, not eating is getting increasingly harder on SS! :(

I do not weigh myself at home, I did purchase new scales but....when I step on them they are different from my CDC. So I just always stick to what my CDC say because it was her scales that I first weighed myself on. I know for a fact that if I did start weighing myself all the time I would...

I haven't tried to make a thick shake yet so thank you for this post, I will do that this afternoon :D I tried the cappuccino flavour shake yesterday (hot) and I didn't like it at all - I didn't like Vanilla either which shocked me because I usually love Vanilla - Chocolate one's are defo my...

Oh I never thought about doing that, so same amount of water?? x

Okay so I have around 6 stone odd to lose and at the moment I am doing SS (shakes), I have my week 4 weigh in on Tuesday. I know that you can only do SS for 12 week so will I go onto 810 after this?? Or could I do SS+ After?? I'm not really sure about moving onto 810 and then going back onto...

My last meal was...Sirlion Steak, Peppercorn Sauce, Chips, Onion Rings, Veggies and Bread! OMG I would "kill" to have that now :cry::cry: haha! xx

Thanks guys, I haven't cracked yet - going to have my last shake soon, relaxing bath and bed! I'm just having one of them days I guess we all get them...I'd be silly to let my 23 days go down the pan now - I WILL overcome this! :confused::D

I'm on my fourth week now and today I'm so tempted to eat something anything I don't care what, it's so warm and sunny here today, everyone is out with their ice creams and other stuff - ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I don't want to break now, but I'm getting very bored of just drinking shakes now

that's good hun :D x

Yes, hun well said that's very true :) x

Lost 4 pounds at week 3 weigh in, so lost 1st 1 pound so far, I'm happy, I just wanted to get past that first stone mark yayyy :D :talk017:

Well done 4lbs is good :) xx

I'm the complete opposite, I came off Deprovera in March 2011 and the last time I had a real period was in December 2010, so it has been 15 months since I have had one and I was hoping that this diet might just trigger it, but nothing so far! :(

I wouldn't take it to heart hun, some people are just never happy. My friends just keep telling me I don't need to do it - but part of me thinks (why, would they say this, maybe they don't want me to change and grow into a more confident person?). However I would like to think that's not the...

Segregate

Just wanted to say HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to everyone on here :D hope you all have a wonderful day xx

I don't trust my scales they always say different and when I get to my CDC I have lost more, Never weighed myself on my own scales to start with, so I just stick with CDC one's :Dxx

thank you everyone! means a lot :D xx

HELLO EVERYONE :) Please keep at it guys...when I first started this I thought there is NO WAY I am ever going to stick it out, but I'm on day 17 now and it does get easier I promise. I will admit that "thinking" about food does not go away (well not for me anyway) but the hunger does soon...

Thank you for help guys, much appreciated :D xx

Well done that's good hun keep it up :) x

Brookesmummy, that is a brilliant loss, please dont be disheartened not everyone gets a big loss to start with but any loss = good! Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday. 4.4lbs lighter than you were yesterday so be happy :D xx

Here's my wee baby "Dax" & love of my life! :D xx

At the moment I have just started reading 2 books: Room by Emma Donoghue The Time Traveller's Wife by by Audrey Niffenegger :D

I liked it but I have to say the book was much better :) Last movie that I seen was Safehouse in the Cinema, very good cant a bit or Ryan Reynolds & Denzel Washington, but a bit too much shooting, don't think I ever want to hear another gunshot for a good while haha!

My favourite shows have to be: :D Pretty Little Liars The Big Bang Theory The Apprentice Big Brother Mrs Browns Boys Masterchef

I got prescribed this by my doctor and was on it for 3 months and it just didn't work for me, I was very gutted! :(

WOW I'm not on this diet but that sounds lush! :D x

Hey guys can you help me out, Im really thinking of trying this diet as I have heard so many great things about it..how does it work, how do you start, how much does it cost, do you really lose weight still eating this way? I really know nothing about it apart from the fact that you can still...

I don't really have any money to buy anything at all, I'm totally skint between this diet and University but I am soooooooooooooo looking forward to going shopping in the summer for a WHOLE new wardrobe - although made a deal with my mother that I wouldn't buy any more clothes till I lose some...

Well done hun, I went out with my friends 3 days into my CD and I was fine just managed to have "water" all night, had 1 soda water which I think is allowed. It didn't come without funny looks from everyone especially the bar staff & my friends kept trying to tempt me to drink...but it would...

Welcome back hun :) x

you have done brilliant, well done! :)

:D WOW hun I would just like to tell you how fab you look, congrats - how long were you on CD for?? xx

Oh I see, I love their song "Love is Wicked" :) x

Thanks hun for noticing my post & I'm happy with it now a loss is a loss so I shouldn't moan haha! :) xxx

I went and spent money on new scales last weekend and then weighed myself I was the same, but when I went back to my CDC - on her scales I had a loss so mine at home are completely different. Just got by my CDC now as it was her's I started with in the first place :) x

well done hun :) x

Fabulous hun, congrats that's a fab loss in week two keep it up :) xx

Had my 2nd weigh in yesterday and lost 3 pounds, I'm a bit upset thought I would have lost a bit more :( but 11 pounds in 2 weeks cant complain I guess just wanted to make my first stone! :p

Welcome and well done on your loss so far! :) x

I completely agree with this :) GL x

WOW that is just fantastic! :O x

Someone told me it was approx 10 pounds, but don't count me to that haha! x

I would love to be Beyonce, with Kim Kardashians behind!

Awww it won't let me watch it :( x

YOU CAN DO IT HUN - KEEP DOING DONT GIVE UP! :Dxxx

Welcome Nikki hun :) good luck on your weight loss. xx

Fantastic Lesley hun, same loss as me in my first week, I'm on day 12 now and I have my weigh in on Tuesday can't wait - keep us updated on your progress! I love to hear others doing well :D xx

I pay £1.90 for packets and £2.10 for Tetra's, I'm not really too keen on the tetra's but I have no other choice while I'm at university :)

Hello, Nice to see you back and hope that you carry on well for the rest of your journey :D xx

Hey guys, apologies I don't mean to hijack the post, but I have a question and not able to start a new thread. When I have the Lactose Free Chocolate Orange Shake and the Leek and Potato Soup, it seems to come back on me for the rest of the night - but not from any others, which I find...

Getting on great thanks Cathy hun, I'm now on day 11 and I am enjoying it so far. Haven't really found it too hard and even my first week wasn't bad so think I got off quite lucky really just had that horrible taste in my mouth, it was gross. The biggest thing I have to deal with is giving up...

I was the exact same waffles hun, I didn't really realise until I too took a picture of myself and WOW...I had a break down (I now think that the mirror lies, I never realised before) so I'm more determined than ever now to succeed and change! I keep my "worst" pictures stuck up around the...

wow you look brilliant, well done :D xx

I would think you would be okay hun haha! Good luck with your journey once you pass the first week you will be on your way :D xx

GLAD that I found this thread it is just brilliant, I have created a HUGE list of about 3 pages and will stick them on my wardrobe along with my other things to keep my motivated! :D xx

Thanks so much hun went out yesterday and Had 1 soda water then just plain bottle water for the rest of the night - although all my friends kept tempting me to drink, I didn't, chuffed with myself it's hard at 20 to give up your social life like that but I'm determined! :D Thanks for your help xx

Sorry this is a random question, but I am on Sole Source and I was just wondering If I can have Soda Water or Tonic Water? Just thinking if I head out to an occasion I'm not entirely sure..

I'm on sole source I thought we were just allowed shakes and soups? I didn't realise I was allowed bars :p

If I'm honest I haven't had any side effects at all, I am only on day 3 though so maybe I shouldn't speak too soon...they will probably hit me after writing this knowing my luck haha! :D

Oh no don't lose it Rebecca Hun - YOU CAN DO THIS! :D I have a picture of me at my worst stuck around the whole house and If I ever feel put off or like giving up, I just need to look at that and think of me lovely and slim in the summer..With so much energy enjoying my life for once! "Never...

Well done hun, I am on day 3 now and on Friday's I work a 13 hour shift on the computer - let's just say I am really struggling! I just would love to "pig" out on all sorts ahhhhhhh!! Best of luck for you weigh in & keep at it, you doing brill :D RH xx

Okay many thanks, I will have a word with her on Tuesday when I go in and see what she says, haven't got Banana either but that sounds lovely - mmm!! Love the name seefood haha I seemed to suffer from that too, I will maybe try adding some spices to the soups as I really feel sick everytime I...

Brilliant - well done to you :D xx

My consultant didn't have any of these flavours: Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Vanilla, Chocolate Orange or Cappucino and in soups everything but Oriental Chilli... I just have a quick Question :D If I ask her do you think she could get these for me, as too be honest these sound a lot more...

I am on second day now, Love the shakes and I can cope with them but the soups..so far I have had Spicy Tomato Soup & right now I'm having Leek & Potato...have to admit I feel so sick & I can't stop thinking about how disgusting they are! :(
