    Major help needed x

    I can understand how she would be worried, I didn't tell my mum for the first month (helps that she doesn't live in the same country or she'd have noticed) I knew she'd be worried if it was healthy etc... I hope you OK this time and not having the same problems as you did last time round. Maybe...

    Really struggling to drink the water

    I know I have to drink it, but for some reason it seems to be harder than not eating!! My son keeps taking my bottle and flinging it around the house (hyper 4 yr old) so I can never find it then I forget and before I know it it's time for bed... I'm going to have 1l now (obviously not going to...

    FREEZING COLD!!!

    I'm into week 7 now and I'm so cold! I'm a cold person anyway, even in the summer i'll have a cardi on but this is something else! Doesn't help that here the weather is so cold too, I have the heating on and 2 jumpers and I couldn't say I was warm! So, yes it does seem to be normal :)

    Hit rock bottom, I WILL show him.

    Good luck!! You show him just what he is missing! Although you may feel like you're doing this 'for him' I think in time as you lose weight you will start to do it for yourself xx

    Resisting temptation!!

    You can eat that (every now and then) when you've lost the weight!! You know what it tastes like so you don't need to eat it to remind yourself, and being slimmer will definitely feel better than that biryani tastes :) Don't give in. xx

    Really struggling to drink the water

    In the first few weeks I drank the water (2l) religiously but now I'm struggling to even get 1l down. There was a few days last week that I didn't drink one drop (not good I know). How important is the water on SS, and will not drinking it affect my weight loss (or health)? Thanks x

    Does anyone else dread the weekend?

    I'm the same, I find it easier during the week as there's more structure, but come the weekend and I make fry ups for the family and it's usually take away for the kids and hubby, as well as making lunch..... there's food everywhere!! During the week the kids are at school so only have to think...

    Major help needed x

    Could you not tell her about this? Will she not be supportive do you think or will she worry about how you're losing weight and think it's dangerous?

    Weigh in ... crap crap weigh in!

    In week 4 I lost 'only' 2 lbs and I was gutted as I had stuck to it 100% like you but the way I came round to seeing it was that on my past 'diets' I didn't lose any weight, either staying the same or putting on so even though it was a smaller amount than I was expecting on CD, it was great that...

    What can I add to my Cambridge ss meals?

    I only told a few people at first because they are the people I spend most time with and they would notice but as the weight has ccome off I've found myself telling more people because they want to know how I'm doing it. I had to research VLCD and ketosis so I would be able to answer the...

    day 2 and luvin it!!

    Good to hear you're getting on well, as time has gone on (going into week 6 now) I've actually found it easier to do the plan rather than harder as I thought. I think you get into a routine, you know that you can't eat anything so you just don't! Good luck with day 3 tomorrow xx

    My weigh ins

    That's great first week well done, but don't get disheartened if the scales say you've put on from one day to the next because it can stay the same, go up or go down you never know what the scales will say when you step on them!!

    Thinking of switching from LL

    Hi!! :) I haven't done LL (is it the same as CD only with counselling?) but I like CD and it's working for me! I do have food issues, obviously otherwise I wouldn't be overweight! but I didn't feel I needed to speak to a counsellor about it and certainly not for the extra money, if I need to see...

    Awful day! Save me from crumbling!!

    It's very hard when there is so much going on which makes you feel like eating loads!! But eating will not ensure you keep your job all it will do is make you overweight and make you feel worse, it will not change anything else about your life. And YOU will love yourself and value yourself by...

    hair loss

    I have been doing SS for 3 weeks now (well done for doing it for 3 months!!!) and I've noticed that, although my hair doesn't seem to be falling out it is thinner, I used to have quite nice thickish hair :( But it will go back to normal once you've lost the weight and you come off it. Is it...

    Loose Skin after Weight Loss

    I worry about this too, especially after 3 children I don't look fantastic naked! But I habe been a lot lighter than I am now and a lot of the skin does ping back. I think it looks worse when it has fat in it, my stomach is not very pretty when I'm bigger but when the weight goes the skin sort...

    Wish I hadnt said anything

    People don't have a clue what CD is about or how it works. They say on these kinds of diet you'll put all the weight back on quickly but they don't realise that that's true of ANY diet or weight loss. They don't understand ketosis and quite frankly I think they are actually jealous that you...

    Furious! But thanks for the motivation!

    Well done for being strong, keep going. I've only told 3 close friends about CD and they are very supportive but not told anyone else yet because I can't be bothered to go into the explanation of what it is, no it's not dangerous, no I won't pile on 7 stone as soon as I eat one crisp..... I have...

    Newbie!! :)

    Hi I'm new to CD too, on day 3 too. You're very lucky your husband is doing it too I find it hard being around food all day cooking for 3 kids and hubby, but I stuck to it! How are you feeling so far? I didn't cut back on food or up my water before I started and have been feeling a bit...

    The two kinds of people who do a VLCD

    I've just read your post - I thought it was great and so true. I'm on day 2 of CD, tomorrow is day 3, and I've realised that I was forced to do every other diet I tried - forced by myself because I HAD to lose weight but I felt resentful that I had to stop eating all my favourite foods so I'd...

    Products taste

    I didn't know you could swap the packs, but I think I'm supposed to have all of them in the week, is that right? I didn't get the porridges as I won't really eat it normally but for a bit of variety I may get some. Well done for your week 1 loss!! I can hardly wait to get on the scales!

    CD Restart 22/9/11

    Good luck Katie, don't be disheartened by the gain it will come off again if you're determined to see it off! I've just started CD for the first time it's the end of day 2 for me. I've just found this forum and am glad of some support. Keep us updated on your progress. x

    Products taste

    Hi, I've just done day 2 of CD SS. The cappuccinno is not nice at all and I bought 7 to have one a day, even with 3 spoons of coffee it's not going down very well! But chocolate and banana and forest fruits are really lovely, I blend them with some ice cubes. I didn't get any soups this week...
