Oh huni, sorry to hear you're feeling down :( Not sure if it's normal or not but remember you're going through huge changes, not just physically but emotionally too. You're used to using food to soothe/comfort/distract etc, etc yourself, as have all of us to varying degrees. You're bound to feel...

Wow! That's some amazing willpower you've got going on there! You deserve to have a really great weigh in tomorrow :) Loads of luck xx

Hey, sounds like you had a fab day and made some really good choices :) Go you!! Think this has been my hardest day so far. Sooo hungry :( Had to have an omelette earlier as I was STAAAARVING!! and it seems to have passed a bit now thank goodness! So sitting here now with my 2nd 1.5 litre bottle...

Ooh happy birthday for yesterday! Sounds like you're doing really well so far, exercise even!! Very impressive. Wish I could motivate myself to do some exercise. I've got loads of dvds, kinect games etc, but lying on the sofa is somehow much more attractive a pastime at the moment! hahaha :(...

Hi Sharon, welcome back to you too! I'm sure that 5 stone will be off in no time :) Positive mental attitude and all that! I thought if I didn't get back on it now then things would get out of control so here's hoping I learn a few things this time around ;) Lots of luck to you. How's day 2...

Sounds like a plan. Not too bad thanks, have had 2 products so far and nearly 3 litres of water. Did have some salmon and steamed veg earlier though as i'd bought it while still doing Atkins and it needed using up. So today has been a ss+ day for me. Feeling a bit cold and tired today too so...

I have to get mine online. Chemists can be a bit funny about selling them to you unless you're diabetic in my experience. They're not that reliable tbh but I just like seeing the proof! :) If you've stuck to plan 100% then you can be confident that you will go into ketosis between days 3-5 :)...

Let me know what you think x

Morning all! Hope everyone is well today. Crappy weather here so don't feel like doing much :( Been watching Biggest Loser and drinking my water. Gonna have a porridge soon and try and get my butt into action ;) xx

Hey, well done on getting to the end of day 3! Should get easier from now on. Have you got Ketostix to check when you're in ketosis? xx

Hi rb, shakes are sooo much nicer when blended with ice cubes. I use about 4-5 cubes with at least 250mls of water in my smoothie maker. Makes the shake lovely and frothy :)

Know what you mean! Just had to give in and have mine earlier than I wanted too aswell :o Been gardening and feel cold and hungry. Having my shake early was preferable to hanging on tho and potentially going on a mad binge later!:rolleyes: x

Right ...well front garden is done :)...ooh not sure if that sounds rude or not?! ;) Anyway, don't know if I can face doing the back yet! Feeling a bit cold now so have come in for a bit. Was feeling hungry too so just had my 2nd product of the day, chocolate milkshake blended with ice...

Oh wow!!! You looked absolutely stunning! and sooo happy :) Glad you enjoyed your day and you've done so well to maintain your loss. I've just come back to Cambridge to lose a bit more. Lovely to hear from someone that started around the same time as me :) How's the IVF going? Cari xx p.s sorry...

Hi rb, glad to hear its going well so far. I've just come back to CD to lose a bit more after going back to my old habits :/ Its so easy isn't it? Anyway thought I'd try and nip it in the bud before it gets too out of hand! Good luck! Cari x

ok so far today: Been to skip with garden waste Bought a lawnmower been to see CDC and got supplies :) Just had an apple and cinnamon porridge and it was lush! Off out to tackle the lawns now with plenty of loo breaks! Gotta keep chugging the water :). Oh and new start weight is 10 stone...

Thanks doll :) Feels good to be back. Am going to try and post more on my diary this time around instead of lurking in the background like some kind of stalker!! Will post everything that passes my lips so I feel more accountable for my actions. I think living on my own means its easier to...

Hi everyone! I'm back for another go :) Since I've been away: Tried eating carbs - didn't go well (best I stay away from them on a long term basis!) Tried Atkins - Probably works well if you don't consume a pint of double cream in a day! :/ Anyway, going to see CDC in the morning for supplies...

Good luck for weigh in hun. Don't worry about the egg! I can't see that it would have made any difference to your loss :) I ate them in my first week and lost 7lbs. Let us know how you get on xxx

RIP Angie Dowds Just logged on to see the terrible news that Angie Dowds (personal trainer on Britain's Biggest Loser) has committed suicide by jumping off Beachy Head cliffs!So awful and shocking to think that she felt so hopeless that she took her own life like that. My thoughts go out to...

Haha the joys of teenage daughters! I have 3 of them! I've been single for a couple of years now so don't get those OH issues anymore which is lovely :-). Can remember the stress of it tho so I feel for you. Don't worry about the scales going up, it happens to me all the time! Probably water...

Woohoo!! Massive congratulations hun! Very exciting :) When I got married 21 years ago, it was in a £40 wedding dress with a £22 wedding ring bought that morning and a reception at home, no honeymoon! That's what you call a cheap wedding!! Not sure you'd want to be that frugal ;) but the...

Good luck for tomorrow Louise! :)

Thanks bettiesrevenge! You'll get here too, I'll wait for you, it's great over here in the 10's ;):D You haven't got far to go, have you? I've been really enjoying your diary, you're sooo funny! :) Have you had a good weekend? xx

Hi everyone! Got on the scales this morning (I'm a daily weigher) and they finally said 10 stone something!!!! (10' 13") :D :D It's got to be at least 10 years since I was in the 10's! I am sooooo happy :D:D This diet just gets better and better :) I'm not weighing in with CDC until...

Woweee!!! Looking AMAZING Spangles :D Well done you, you soooo deserve it! xxx

Aww I'm really glad to hear it :) Hope you have a great day tomorrow. Speak soon xxx

I think you'll do fab. Keep positive and remember why you're doing it. If you feel hungry, drink some water. After about day 3-4 hunger shouldn't be much of a problem anyway. All the way through, if I have felt I really need to eat something then some chicken, tuna or even a couple of boiled...

Welcome Rolly, sounds like you've had a great start! 7lbs is amazing! :) Are you doing ss or ss+? xx

Hi Rolly82, Thanks for your message. Wow, yeah we're almost exactly the same! Have you just done your first week? Well done and keep going, it gets easier from now on :) Let me know how you're getting on xxx

Morning everyone! Just been to weigh in.........6lbs off!! YAAAYYYY!! Sooo happy. That brings me to 2 stone and a lb in 7 weeks.:D:D:D Hope everyone is ok. Off to have my porridge and a cup of coffee now xxx

Hi iLumina, sounds like you're doing really well so far. I've been on CD for almost 7 weeks and loving it! :) Keep going and lots of luck xxx

Hi, lots of luck for your first day! :) xxx

Wow, you can see a HUGE difference Ems! If you can do that in 3 weeks imagine what you can do in a couple of months! :) xx

Looking fab hun! :) xxx

Hi Daisy, Loads of luck. You show him girl!!! xxx

2lbs off this week. Bit bummed 'cos my scales were saying nearer 4!? oh well, at least it's something off. Oh! just had a thought. This week was actually only 6 days as I had to weigh in on wednesday last week so that makes it a bit better :);) Work is really stressful at the moment and I've...

Stick with it chick, it'll be so worth it soon enough! You'll stop feeling hungry in a few days and it'll be plain sailing to skinnyville!! :) Just had my weigh-in and another 5lbs off. Even wore my new size 12 jeans! :D Keeping drinking that water. Thinking of you. Hugs xxx

Yaayyyy!!! 5lbs off this week!! :D:D I even got to wear my new size 12 jeans to my weigh-in this morning as they fitted perfectly. Were too tight a few days ago. I LOVE this diet!! :) Would never have believed 5 weeks ago that I would get this far, as I've never been very good at sticking at...

ooh can't think of any side effects. Except weeing loooaaaads, oh and my clothes falling off 'cos they're getting so big on me :D:D:D xxx

As long as you stick to protein if you need something extra and keep away from carbs you'll be hunky-dory! :) Yep will let you know how weigh in goes hun. wish me luck :) xx

Yes we will get there :) I'm on ss/ss+. I found in the beginning I would need a bit of something else, like some chicken or boiled eggs each day. As time goes on I feel less hungry and have had a few ss days in a row now :) 5th weigh in tomorrow morning and going by my scales should be quite a...

Hey ash!, Welcome! Glad to hear your first day has gone well. I've been doing CD for 5 weeks and have lost a stone and a half so far. The first few days might be difficult but hang on in there! It gets easier :) You'll be fab Lots of luck xxx

Been to see GP. Referred to Gynae, so I'll have to wait and see what they've got to say about it. Exactly, how can there be any more lining left to lose?!? :confused:

Hey y'all! How you doodling? Hope everyone's having a good weekend so far? I'm working nights, last one tonight thank god! Had a weird few days. Feeling very sorry for myself, crying a lot, which really isn't me! I'm normally such an emotionless person! lol maybe it's hormones, lack of...

Poor you :( Rubbish isn't it? Really hope it settles down soon. But I suppose at least it shows we're getting rid of the fat and all the rubbish that's stored in it. Trying to drink loads of water to flush it all out quicker. xxx:)

Wowwww!! 9lbs in 4 days? That is amazing! :D Bet you're thrilled to bits?! isn't this diet fab? :) The quick results really help to keep your motivation going. It's the first diet I've never wanted to cheat on which is a first for me! :) Hope you're having a good day hun. Keep up the good...

Hey everyone, can I add something to this thread? I've had a problem with continual bleeding since I've been on CD. 5 weeks now!! Mentioned it to my CDC and she said one of her other clients (who's a midwife) told her that we store oestrogen in fat and that when we start to release the fat all...

Hey katieboo, sounds like you're doing fab! :) Loose trousers... isn't it a great feeling? My size 14 jeans are literally hanging off me now but trying to hold off from buying a 12 as they might not fit for long either... hopefully ;) It's my TOTM too but weirdly haven't really stopped...

Exactly! Even if the scales don't say what I want them to, my clothes are feeling looser every day which is good enough :) Today's going well so far, had apple and cinnamon porridge for breakfast, which is a new discovery for me (didn't think I'd like it at all but it's lovely! And just had...

Hi katieboo, Well done for starting. How's your first day going? I must say I've found this diet gets easier the longer I do it :-) I've had a mixture of responses, some say 'well done, I couldn't do it' to others who say 'be careful, why don't you just eat less, etc etc'. I suppose I'm quite...

Oops sorry it sent before i'd finished! You're doing amazingly well! Think I'll give it another go ( adding to my signature that is!) Thanks xxx

Hi Egbert, My goal is to get to 10 stone too! And then will see how I feel when I get there :-). This site has been a godsend, loads of support and motivation. It's easy to feel a bit of a social outcast when you're on this diet I think

Waaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Not having a good start to my day. First of all, weigh in.........one measly pound!! :cry: Next, thought I'd call in to the health food shop for some milk thistle to support my liver (my daughter, who's doing a physiology degree, keeps telling me that being in ketosis stresses...

Hi cheekmeister, your losses have been amazing! You're doing really well. Is it your first time on CD? Got my 4th weigh in tomorrow :s xxx

Well done! 2.5lbs is fab! xxx

Thanks emsiem :) How's your first week going? When's your first weigh in? xx

Well done Tano! 6lbs is amazing :) Hope I can do anything like as good as that this week xxx

Thanks Debziedoo! I am loving all the support and motivation on this forum. Every other diet I've tried has only lasted a week or two as the results just weren't there and I would lose any motivation I started with :sigh: I KNOW this works and I'm sooo excited about it! My clothes feel looser...

Thanks Danii :D xx

can someone please tell me how I go about adding goals, weigh in's etc. to my profile? When I try to do it on the edit signature thing it says I'm only allowed 350 characters and won't add it! thanks xx

Hi everyone, my name's Cari, I'm 40 and I've decided it's time to lose weight once and for all! Never tried Cambridge before but I'm on day 25 and so far so good :) I've lost 15lbs already which I'm really pleased about. Been reading everyone's stories on Minimins for a week or so and finding...

Lots of luck for tomorrow :) xx
