When you don't even recongise yourself in a picture, because you are looking for the biggest person (always me) amongst your friends and family. Men who treated me like I was invisble (funny really, concerning my size at the time) now all of a sudden what my phone number. I just smile sweetly...

When you meet a friend who you have not seen for 3 months and 18lbs lighter, and they say nothing. They just stare...........the phrase green eyes come to mind. Oh well, that's life I guest.

I have dropped down about half a size. Some of my shoes are like flip flops now.

Forget that message, you are right they are not there.:D However I think that Rob at Slim and Save can help you with information you want.

Like Weasay I also take psyllium husk, they don't make go but keep you regular.

The dress and the shoes will work very nicely together. I love red shoes and I know that a red pair of heels will also be great with your polka dot dress, if you have pair already.

HIIT workouts have been around for a while. The 3 minute HIIT that is talked about in DS is one that only very fit athletes do and even they are flat on their backs after this. But for the rest of us that are not athletes, we can still do HIIT workouts. I use to do this using a exercise...

Hi Slinky, I don't know what other shakes you purchased, but why not try blending two shakes together? Today is Valentine's so maybe if you have a chocolate shake, you could have your own version of a chocolate covered strawberry.

How much water are you drinking a water?

You are not an idiot, you are human. So don't beat yourself up, just write off yesterday and continue as normal today. Most of us have been there.

Hello OscarsMum, I think you should speak to your Doctor about your symptoms so that he/she can give you proper diagnosis. Hope you are feeling better now, but still go and see your Doctor.

Hi Minimoosh, this is what I found on Wikipedia.......... Earl Grey tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well done for starting again. I first did the C25k over a year ago, got to week 5 without any problems, then got sick. Anyway I started again and will be doing W4D1 tomorrow. I love the feeling of getting stronger each week. Good luck, and hope you complete the plan this time.

As MandyMc mentioned I also find that psyllium husk works very well and no pain unlike some laxitives.

Thank you all for your feedback. Much appreicated.

Thanks I will, there are only about three items I have decided against. But I don't want to order large quantities items not preferred by people on the Slim and Fast. I know all our taste buds are different.

I agree with what you are say Starlight, however I am having my products delivered to the USA as I don't live in the UK right now. So I need to make this as cost effective as possible due to shipping costs. I have read that the cottage pie is not a favourite of some, however I will still buy...

Hello, I am about to place my first order of Slim and Save products. I want to make the right choices and therefore I am looking for suggestions on what are your favourite shakes, meals and bars.

Last year I did 3 months of weight lifting, and the scale stayed about the same throughout, however I lose a lot of inches and my clothes were swinging around me. So for me when I exercise I tend to measure myself, but now with this diet it's the scales.

Thanks so much for all the feedback, my mind is made up and I will try Slim an Save.

Thanks for that suggestion. I have been viewing the web site and I like the fact there are hot meals other than soups, and the price is very good!

I am currently on the Cambridge Diet, but I am thinking of doing the Slim and Save instead. The Cambridge Diet is very good, however there is only one CD consultant close to where I live, and she is always running out of supplies. Has anyone changed from the CD to S&S, and what were your...

A 2 pound weight loss is good, so don't feel gutted about it. I always picture 8oz packages of butter. Now times that by 4 and hopefully you can smile now.

Well done!!

I have been doing the CD for a little while. Just wanted to wish you good luck on your first day!

When I started my weight loss journey I had over 8 stones to lose. I found that thought very overwhelming because I was just focusing losing 8 stones and the end seemed so far , if not impossible. I changed my way of approaching this weight loss and set myself mini goals of losing 10lbs at a...

You have not failed at all, we all have our days and bad days. Tomorrow is a new day, so just contine with the CD as normal in the morning. I have had days when I caved in but get back on track as soon as possible. Take it one day at a time. Also set yourself mini goals, and non food treats...

It could be tough love that he is showing you right no. Although I am not defending his appoach, but men don't always know how to cope with our emotions. Question, are you hungry or is it a craving?

It's 10 cals per teaspoon. I will try for a week (once every other day) and see if there is any adverse effects. Tks.

Below is a link from the Cambridge Weight Plan web site regarding exercise. Cambridge Weight Plan: a flexible range of weight management programmes aimed at both men and women Hope this helps.

Hi, most of us gain weight before/during totm, however we are not gaining fat it's just the extra water that we carry. So don't beat yourself up if the numbers on scale increase around that time. Carry on with the plan as normal and the following week you will see a lose.

I was going to throw out a small container of Non-Dairy Creamer, when I noticed that it has 1g of carbohydrates per serving. I am currently on SS and was wondering if this was still a no no at this stage or if we could use this, say once a day? Missing dairies like crazy:sigh:

Great results Naomi. This diet is not easy by any means, but as you have discovered it's worth it.

You can try psyllium husks. You can find this in health food shops, it's a natural but gentle form of fibre.

Well done you! When I feel cravings for my favourite baddies I read the ingredients label.......it works a treat.

Hi Sara Lou, your sister’s comments may be based on lack of knowledge about the diet and probably even down to other gimmicky types of VLDC out there attracting a lot negative press. Therefore people tend to group all VLCD's in the same basket. Also some people are very happy for others to...

That's a very impressive first week weight lose. Well done and good luck to you!

I only take shakes to work, but plan on taking soups very soon.

I am hoping that I can stick with the plan long enough to achieve my goal also.

Thanks for that tip Natasha, I just purchased one from Amazon for work.:D

Great result!

Hello Mandy, and welcome to CWP. Apart from the Spicy Tomato soup, you can use a whisk or blender carefully all the other soups. I always add a few dashes of tabaso sauce.:)

Well done, you look fanastic. Seeing your success has given me a real boost to continue.

Good, although hungry.

Well done, outstanding result.

Well done Jewel! Execellent news.

No need to beg to be back, we are all in same boat. You did it once and you can do it again. Most of us have lost and gain weight so don't beat yourself up and take one day at a time. All the best to you.

Welcome back Raringtogo, you had great sucess last year with the CD so I am sure you will do just as well this time round. Good luck!

Psyllium Husk, either in capsule form or seeds. I have not used the seeds but taking the capsules keep me fairly regular.

Oh yes, I enjoyed it very much. Although I ate a lot (so no surprise about the weight gain) I am happy to be back on the CWP.

Well done! I ate for 3 days and gained 4 lbs!

Thanks Krissykat, I was thinking the same. Not looking forward to the next 3 or 4 days before reaching Ketosis once again. Oh well that's my penance for cheating!:break_diet:

Hello. For three days I overloaded on carbs, you name it I ate it. However I am now back on the plan. What I need to know is when can I start eating the Bars again. Will I have to wait for two weeks to pass as at the start of the WCP?

After two days of eating I am actually now sick of the sight of food, and looking forward to getting back on track starting tomorrow! Good luck all the restarters and hats off to anyone who stuck 100% to their CWP.

I don't know about any creams that can tighten skin, however weight bearing exercises like lunges, squats, tricep kickbacks, bicep curls, crunches, planks etc can help. Also I read once that Yoga and Pilates is also good for tightening skin. Like DappyMare said it takes about a year for skin...

That's fanastic news! Congratulations and all the very best of wishes!

Yes it could very possibly affect weight loss, because we are not getting water from other food sources our bodies could retain water. So one of best ways to prevent water retention is to drink plenty of water.

Well done on your first weigh in....fanastic result!

It's nearing the end of 2011 and about this time of year people are thinking about their new years resolutions. But instead of focusing on what to do next year, I think we should reflect on our accomplishments this year. These are some of mine 1. I completed two three month exercise programs...

Miss F you can also try Psyllium Husk.

You will certainly be belle of the ball in that dress. Very nice indeed.

For breakfast I have either a bar, shake or porridge, but mostly a shake. For lunch it's always a shake and for dinner I will have one of the soups and a dash or three of tabasco sauce. I love the soups, I blitz them up in a blender and pour in a mug!!

Well done on your success, hope I can achieve the same results.

I also love Pandora beads, I treated myself this weekend by buying two of them for my efforts so far and as a bonus I got a lovely Pandora bauble as a gift for my purchase! However, I have not thought about my reward once I reach my goal. Currently I am not living in the UK, but in a country...

Good luck, keeping reading the success stories on here for movitation.

Congratulations Illa, lovely news!

Good luck! The CD is exellent for those of us that want quick results, but heathly eating and exercise is what will help us keep the weight off. I plan to do the same once I reach my goal, but now I know where to turn if things start to slip.

Congratulations Claudia, it's successes like yours that keep the rest of us inspired.

Welcome back! How are your first two days going?

If it's the hot taste that you are after My CDC told me that Tabasco Sauce can be used (in modernation) in the soups.

Welcome back and congratulations on the birth of your son.

I can't see the pictures of the food, nevertheless I will try some of these.

I have decided to take Christmas day off the CD, but not to go crazy on the high calorie foods and carbs. Then back on the plan from Boxing Day.

I am big all over, but I still love what I see in the mirror. When I was younger and weighed 9st 10lbs I thought I was fat, even though size ten clothes hung off me. Now when I look at those pictures I can't believe how sick I looked. It's the media that is saying as woman we should be a size...

I am so glad I read this article, I am going out on Friday and was planning on have one drink. But I now I will be sticking to water!!

Don't beat yourself up, we are only human and we have our weaknesses from time to time. Tomorrow is a new day and an opportunity to continue with your good efforts.

Welcome back, while you were away I started CD two weeks ago, and to date I am happy with my progress! Good Luck starting again.

Great news and well done Jembo, I can only hope that my results are as good as yours.

Thanks for posting this, I have been looking for information on this subject!

Congratulations on your execellent progress!!

Week one, and I have lost 9lbs!!

Well done! I know how that feels
