    Hi.. not really Cambridge but could do with some support!

    Hi guys... Ok, so I've been here before (and before and before lol)... Had the whole roller-coaster of diets over the years, slimming world, rosemary conleys, atkins... I got started with Cambridge a few years ago and was doing well on it, only to have to stop it due to other health...

    Xenical and Slimfast??

    Oh I'm so glad someone asked this question, could be the answer for me too lol... I know the aim is to get into eating healthy rather than dieting and that's my long term goal, but my main problem stemming from a bad teenage routine is that I only eat one meal a day - in the evening - and my...

    Hair Loss - not a problem! Quite the reverse on CD for me!

    mine too :D I like to think of it as nature and Cd's way of a little reward for doing this diet and making sure we come out the other end even lovelier, with our glowing skin, perfect nails and shiny hair all to compliment our luscious new bods!! :D:D:D

    How many times?

    Couldn't agree with this more! I think anyone who puts the weight back on so much after losing on this diet, hasn't quite gotten their head to catch up as speedily, and they resort to all their old habits food-wise which led to them being overweight in the first instance... I know we all want...

    Hi all... hope you don't mind me crashing in but I feel like cr$p today and need something to keep me occupied... I'm doing well on the diet (I think!), finding the drinking of the water the hardest thing I guess, but not craving food at all really, normally last night would have been hard...

    When you to start dropping sizes???

    I'm feeling good right now... I'm starting officially tomorrow... I tried LL last year and lost 13lbs in the first week which I was well chuffed at but 'life' just got in the way and I kept putting it off until here I am again... However when I did do LL I remember it being ok...not easy but...

    When you to start dropping sizes???

    You've made me go all giggly and tingly thinking I could be a 16 in three months!!! :D:D:D Sometimes I look on ebay for inspirational / motivational clothes and the range in 22's are nothing compared to 18's and 16's... plus I think size 16 would mean I could be thinner but I still wanna keep...

    When you to start dropping sizes???

    Hiya, this is a question that I've been longing to ask for ages... I always wonder whether the huge losses of weight equate to lagre losses in inches?? I'm not too bothered what I weigh, I always judge it more by what size clothes I can fit into rather than numbers on a scale... I'm a 22 at...

    Hi All!! Returning to CD & V. Determined!

    Hello all!! I joined this forum last year quite by accident... after doing some surfing I stumbled upon Ice Moose's online diary of his weight loss (phenomenal btw Ice Moose!) and had never ever before heard of Cambridge or Lighter Life etc... I then tried Lighter Life, and lost 13lbs in my...

    just wanna say how fantastic that is!!!! I was browsing the posts and looking at the ticker in your signature, thinking that can't be right... looked at when you started the diet (september right?) then at how much it said you lost in such a short time and was absolutely gobsmacked..:eek: I...

    I always want to say 'thanks' when people say he's lovely - like I had something to do with it! Hardly passed on any genes did I.... :p ;) His good looks get us into some 'situations' sometimes... esp. when he's been bounding about in the mud and gunk first thing in the morning and we have...

    The learn to love yourself thread

    What I like about myself... (when sat wondering what one thing I'd put I found that the 'what I don't like about myself' ideas came forth in a rush....) I don't wanna always be thinking over the 'heavy' stuff so start with something simple but nice... 1) I like that I'm so devoted and...

    How Far Are You From Goal?

    Hi all, I've not actually started my LL diet yet (start next week) but would like to post if that's ok? As of today I am 15st12lb (ish - my scales aren't really accurate) and a dress size of 20/22... My goal is more over how my body looks than an actual weight, but I'd like to get to a size...

    The October BulgeBusters!!!

    Hi all! <waves> I'm hoping to start LighterLife this month... I'm 28, currently weighing in at 16st. I've always been overweight since childhood, and have yo-yo'd on half hearted diets before... but a barrage of steroids for medical reasons has seen things balloon over the past few years...
