Respectfully, I disagree with a couple of parts of what you said. I think you've been lucky, and have confidence and a great attitude. There are plenty more who were brought up with parents saying "if you don't lose weight you'll never find a boyfriend/ get a job/ be happy" and have...

You could try this site: Television Without Pity Their X-Files recaps used to make me cry with laughter, but not all the recappers are as good. Some of them are wedged very far up their own a*ses, some are very funny. Haven't read the SPN ones as I am only on episode 6

I like the Comedy Cafe but four quid for a vodka and diet coke is a diabolical bl00dy liberty. Still, it sounds like you didn't do terribly, what with sticking to salmon and only having a taste of the other things in a place where it must have been so tempting just to say b****r it and scoff the...

I feel the need to distract attention from my previous crass double entendre... LOOK! OVER HERE! George Clooney in a tuxedo! Bearing a silver platter with a very special chocolate cake that cannot possibly do any damage to anyone's diet! And a glass of something or other that tastes dead...

No, no, come back! You can't be an insane stalker on the internet just because the internet turns us all into insane stalkers. Besides, I am happy if anyone posts here. The more the merrier. Often when I post on the internet it feels like it's the sound of one hand doing, well, something a bit...

NO! NO! This is GENIUS. You should make it Fat Brian, then everything can be Fat Brian's fault. When you go off piste with the diet it's Fat Brian who's making you do it, and when you vanquish the little b***er, it's putting Fat Brian back in his box ;) Alas, this will not work if you actually...

Because they are eeeeeeevil. LOL. Eeep no. Not one for dancing with my bits hanging out unless no one is watching. You'll get there. We both will. ::makes clenched fist of solidarity:: I might see you for a moment or two on Friday and thanks for the diary encouragement. At least it's...

Blimey Mrs T, I know that you said you had messed about a bit in the past four months but please don't let that distract you from the fact that losing 10 stones is magnificent. Best of luck for after Christmas. And Mel, all the best for your coming weight loss too. :) xx. K.

*cough* Ah yes, the chocolate. It was hypothetical chocolate, which tastes fantastic and has no calories. :p

Fat Girl Logic Thanks Mini and Kazz. Some days the diet feels really easy and I love it -- well, not the being unable to have toast or pie, but the way it reduces your choices to the stark and simple fact that if you stick to it you won't fail. Other days I feel like I am just waiting for the...

thanks. I hope I can.

I hope you're right. I fear your scales though, they are not as optimistic as mine ;) Thanks for the text btw, it brightened up a day of unutterable ar$e at work.

Cheers. ;)

Thank you. I quite enjoyed writing it all down. Probably because it was a good day :D

Thanks very much and I do. I am sure I will be grumpy and itching for pie very soon so I thought it would be nice to document feeling good :D Thanks for the good wishes

I've been lurking around this site since finding Icemoose's diary while googling for Lighter Life, way back in September. It took me two weeks to pluck up courage to call someone from the Cambridge Diet site. I count it as a great kindness from Fate or God or chance or The Giant Green Pixie In...

Is it wrong that cheese and broccoli soup is the most exciting thing that's happened to me all week? I may even have sung "cheese, glorious cheeeeeese!" to myself while walking down the stairs to get another &^%$ing bottle of $%^&ing water. :D

I can't speak for whether the part about calcium is true but I think this nutritionist's post misses a vital component of the VLCD diet -- its psychological dimension. If you want to lose weight a VLCD is seldom your first port of call. You're more likely to have tried -- and not succeeded --...

This is good advice too. But just the one darkest hour? I have a whole highlights reel and you're right. I don't want to go back.

You are, of course, absolutely right. And some days --Tuesday for example -- it works perfectly and I feel full of optimism, determination and energy. And other days I would punch out every single one of the All Blacks rugby team to get to a plate of trifle. That's really not the best use of...

Aw, thanks. Though I suppose if I were to get to the end and there were a couple of pieces missing, at least I would know they weren't up the vacuum cleaner.:rolleyes:

Well, I thought it was pretty okay until I read this and realised it's not as good as yours! :eek: Maggots. Yes, that's pretty unappealing.

My CDC, the lovely Summer, said I should introduce myself here. I have about eight stone to lose to be comfortable with myself and I've got rid of 21lbs in five weeks. I have never been thin in my life so I'd like to be thin just once. If only for a change of pace.:) Being fat has made my life...

Yes, I've got some of her stuff and the album Speak For Yourself, but you don't hear of her a great deal. I seem to remember reading somewhere that she was doing more soundtrack stuff lately.

I wish I had the guts to say something but alas, I still have a bottom with its own postcode and the man and his girlfriend would probably have replied "**** off, you fat, four-eyed ******" or something equally erudite. I'm hoping that I'll be able to be 'sassy' soonish Still, I vote you God of...

I went to Australia two years ago in the depths of a very grey January and arriving in Sydney was like that moment where Judy Garland steps from a monochrome Kansas into Oz (ho ho) and it's all in colour. It's such a friendly, beautiful city and very walkable. We went on the ferry to Manly the...

I once heard on Radio 4 (so it *must* be true :)) that it takes up to three months to form a new habit but six months to break an old one. I guess the way CD or LL work plays to this psychological habit-forming trend by replacing old habits and allowing you to form new ones gradually. I hope...

ITA. I used to think of the amount of weight I had to lose -- at least seven stone -- as a "Paris Hilton", as in "wouldn't it be nice to lose a Paris Hilton permanently before the summer". (if only we could lose the real thing) Now I think I shall rechristen it a "Liz Hurley", in honour of a...
