Hi, Thanks for your message. I’ve never heard of TDR, what’s that? Also I’m on SS not the 810. I’ll have to look at my profile and look to see how to change it.

Hi all, I’m back doing the Cambridge weight plan having always given up after a week. Years ago (and about 3 stone lighter) I did lighterlife for 2 months and lost 2 stone then quit having not completed to goal. I will have completed 3 weeks today. I started on a Friday and weighed in at the...

Week 2 Day 2 Well I weighed in on Thursday and I've lost 5 1/2 lbs. My lowest hope for the first week was 3lb and highest was 7lb so 5.5 is good enough. Unfortunately it's TOTM (even though I'm not supposed to have these) plus I was extremley constipated and actually went about an hour after...

Well done that's fantastic. There's that whoosh xxx

Hiya Im not sure as one of the admin/moderators did mine. They may read this post but if you start s thread and ask in that help (in the Cambridge section) they will definitely see it and move it for you. Let me know if that works xxx

THE LATEST VERSION IS ON PAGE 14 Hope that helps xxxxxxx

Hi Im sure was one on page 9. I will have another look now lol. Xxx I've just checked. I don't know where i got page 9 from lol. Thank you xxx

Wow - What an amazing spreadsheet. I can't believe the serious amount of time that you have put into this. I hope your still out there Steve. It's been so long since you have been on, I hope all is ok with you. Thank you so much for such a fantastic spreadsheet. I believe the most recent...

Ahh, that's not too bad then. I don't like much on the allowed list. I've never thought I would be able to do the 810 plan as the food in the evening would make me so hungry the following morning as I woulnd't be going into ketosis but it's really working for me so far (day 6). I'm going to...

It's still not being really bad is it. Have you though about doing the 810 plan as what you're eating is on that plan anyway??? I'm on that and it's really going well. I find the water and shakes keep me going through the day and it's also easier as I know I can eat in the evening xx

Hi spangles Is the last recipe on the 810 plan? Many thanks in advance xxx

That is hilarious. Here's me thinking I'd be saying something nice about my daughter and everyon'e worried I had enough, completely:eek: Thank you for letting me know the correct, whatever you call them. :D xxx

Ok i've just sent you a message privately on here so let me know if you don't get it xxx

I know what you mean about the gel thing. It's weird but I do feel you have to have that connection. I email you though the site yesterday but I don't think it went through. Just gonna have a look now xx

I was only ever doing SS before so I new there was nothing but water and packs so never asked for anything. Now I'm on 810 and I have a few choices. I did text her the other day and she text straight back (which I really appreciated). I asked if i could have a sweetner in my tea and the...

Now that would make sense lol but doesn't work out for kids really does it, lol xx

:character00148: You've just described me :D xxx

Very true. What does oh actually stand for? I know that oh means husband, os = son and od = daughter, I think?

Day 3 Well today is day 3 and I'm feeling really positive today. It's going well so far. I do feel a little tired but have done a couple of hours of pottering about the house and it's a hot day so that's probs got something to do with it. I was on-line last night and happily posting away and...

I thought it might be something like that but wasn't sure. Thank you so much for moving etc. I appreciate it. xxxx

Brilliant idea. Thank you. I just need to think of a couple now, lol.

Wow that's a really good price. I'd never heard of that until I came on this site. I wonder if it's any good.

Seriously well done. I know if I was feeling like that in the past then that would be the time that I would quit. If you can get passed last night then you know now that you can do it. You'll feel so much better as you lose weight and going out, getting new clothes and going with your...

I did think about going to another CDC this time because I had started and stopped so many times before, I felt bad calling again but decided better the devil I know and going ok so far. Where is Gemma in Basingstoke? Don't wanna say where I live on here but will private message you. I...

That's still really good though. I'm going to start walking the kids to school tomorrow. I also get back ache when I walk and get something called tendonitis (Spelling). I never had this when I wasn't overweight and just think it's to do with balance when I'm walking. It does sometimes slow...

I got my book from my CDC. I did on a post the other day that when a lady started her CDC only gave her a piece of paper and they charge for the book but others give the book at the beginning. Mine gave me the book. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to attach a document yet as still below my 50...

I think as long as your on SS or LCD then you will feel cold. It's you body's way of protecting the main organs as far as I understand it. Have a look in the CWP book, it mentions it in there. Explained alot better than I can explain it. xxxx

Oh that must be tough. The only reason I have allowed myself to spend the amount needed is because I know I was spending that on fast food per week (which was for the whole family) so i should start to see some savings now. I'm sorry I can't be of any help. Maybe look into this website. I...

Yeah of course you can lol. Have another look at the CWP book. It says that a third of your food intake in a day should be carbs. I was surprised, it's just making a healthier choice of wholegrain. But Omg this is forever, lol lol. xxx

Wow, your first weeks loss will be great. I've not thought about the exercise bit yet, lol xxxx

Really really well done. It's so tough just to admit sometimes that we have to change our way of life and thoughts that it gets in the way of what we really want. You should feel so proud of yourself. Tomorrow you'll feel amazing after realising how close you came but stuck with it. If...

As far as I know the cold feeling doesn't go until you start eating more calories. Rather be cold and healthy than hot and echhhh. When you get to the loads more energy days (7 days maybe) then you'll warm up by doing housework or keeping yourself busy anyway. xxxxx Oh and really good luck...

I couldn't have said it better Princessspark1e. Please don't be upset about this. It shouldn't put you in that position but neither should you being overweight. Only you can look at this in a positive way. You do have options/choices. Maybe the 810 plan or higher? If I'm too late in...

Thank you so much. Wow, 11lb on week one, well done you xxx

Thank you foxy, I appreciate your help. Funny you mention the volvic sports bottle. I have one already;). I've been drinking a litre of water a day before I started the diet as I was drinking too much diet coke and it was giving me a really fuzzy head. Good luck with and stick with it...

Wow, well done on your weight loss. That's amazing. I love your signature where you have managed day one - Done etc. Might have to pinch that it that's ok? xxxxx

Thank you very much. What's an expiring redirect? Thank you so much for your advice. Maybe now I know that it may happen I can look out for it or maybe it won't affect me so much. Thank you again xxx

Just working out how to do the quote thing correctly so can reply. xxx

Really well done on the 8 weeks. It's good to know that it gets alot easier after the first couple of weeks. I'm sure you're week off will be fine and as you know what to expect when you re-start fully again then you'll know what to expect so maybe won't be too tough. Let us know how you...

I love that last sentence. Good for you xxxxx

Didn't even look at it as a stone in 2 weeks, wow. normally the 1st month is about a stone depending on your starting weight. Glad your feeling better today. Sometimes that's all it takes I think. Keep going and keep us up to date. xxxx

Ha ha, I just realised your in Basingstoke. I am too. What CDC do you see. I see Donella in Oakridge, she told me the policy had changed since I last started and that as my BMI is over 40 then I couldn't do SS or SS+/Red2.

Thanks for that update Cathy. It's good to hear. I'm surprised I'm feeling the cold already. I do feel a little better, I think it's just not feeling so bloated all day and not being weighed down by eating crap. Well done on 12lb down. That's amazing.

Thank you everyone. I don't want to become annoying lol. I look forward to keeping up with your weight loss journeys. xxxxx

I read up on it today and it is 1 teaspoon per day but my CDC said I couldn't have it until week 3 but as i'm on 810 apparently I can. Bur after saying all of that I'm not bothered about the drinks, lol. I might get some tetras next week so I can always carry one on my bag.

Well today is day 2 and I'm on the 810. So far really loving it. I never would never have thought of trying the 810, always the SS. It was only coz my BMI was over 40 that I had to and so far I really love it. I know it's early days but I love that I can still have the small meal tonight...

Day 2 Well day one down and onto day two. I'm really proud of myself as I was shocked when my CDC said the policy had changed and as my BMI is over 40, I would have to start on the 810 plan. I was terrified and even thought of just drinking the shakes and not eating the remaining but not...

Day 1 I've decided to pour myself into the website this time round. About 4 years ago I started LL. I managed 8 weeks on just the shakes and then quit:ashamed0005:. I have started Cambridge several times since then and have never got passed week 3. What's really strange is why I quit...

Thank you, looking forward to chatting to you too. Think I will always be here. Gets me through. Everyone is just so lovely and supportive. I must copy over that introduction entry I promised in my first post, lol.

Well day one down and onto day two. I'm really proud of myself as I was shocked when my CDC said the policy had changed and as my BMI is over 40, I would have to start on the 810 plan. I was terrified and even thought of just drinking the shakes and not eating the remaining but not...

I'm cold and a very little headache (which I haven't taken anything for) but I expected that. Otherwise I'm doing very well. I'll sometimes let my mind wander to feeling deprived and then just remind myself that I don't want that stuff, I chose to do this and if I stop (although only on day...

Ok it's cooked and this is delicious. Well done me lol xxx

It might seem a bit silly for me to worry about this ooooorrrrrrr I may be annoying as hell but I'm posting everywhere as it keeps me busy. I'm so sorry if I post too much. Just really want to keep myself busy on here. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Whatever gets you through, lol. I know people that put the soup in a bowl or make the shake with less water so it's more like a small mousse and so much stronger in flavour. Yummy.

I've missed meals before as so busy. It's a wonder we ever gained weight when skipping meals, lol. My CDC always said that it doesn't matter when I have them as long as I have my 3 in the 24 hours.

Try not to focus on the lbs lost but on how you are feeling. I'm only on day 1 so hard to comment really. I have done it before though but quit after a couple of weeks. I'm staying on here as there is so much to read that I could spend forever on here and no time in the fridge, lol. Good...

I would hate that too. I've gone to bed in the day today just to pass some time to get through the early days, lol.

I thought you could have all tetra's a day??? I thought it was just the bars that you could have one of a day. My CDC said I can't have the water flavourings until week 3 and I thought I saw that on here somewhere. Mine seems pretty clued up on it all so hopefully all ok.

Thank you. She did mention that to me and for costs reasons I thought I would give this way a go. I'll definitely keep it in mind. It's in the oven now and normally I would cook it when I cook for the family but am getting away with that for the next few days until I get into the diet :D

I saw my CDC on Thursday and unfortunately I can't start SS (Which I've done previously) as my BMI is over 40. I started today and can't be bothered to go and cook my chicken and veg. I know how lazy is that!!! Right I'll go and do it now as I will be following this plan to the T. What...

Hello I'm wondering if anyone would be able to help me move my diary also. It's in the main diary section called 'Staying positive (Most of the time)' I would love for it to be in the CWP part of the diary section please. If anyone could help I'd be very grateful. Thank you in advance...

Very true and sometimes hard to stay in that mindset. I'm absolutely terrified that I'm not in that place at the moment but i'm just trying to put one foot in front of the other, so to speak, until I get to that stage. I think I know I deserve this, lol. I just need to keep reminding...

Hello I'm on day one and I fancy chocolate, lol. We can do this. What CWP are you following and how far have you got? xx

Thank you and good luck to you too. Here's to us :) C xxx

Hiya I'm just emersing myself in the website and came accross this post and as I have just started today, I have the book handy with the 810 details so here goes, copied from the book. Allowable foods Choose one portion of protein-rich foods from the list below and cook in a healthy way...

So far, I've only told the people who are really close to me. I just don't trust myself right now (not to not stick with it but to not cry and feel stupid) and I know I couldn't take the comments they make, I'm not strong enough to fend them off yet. I'm only on day one but have done this...

Well, never done a diary before so this is new to me. I posted an introduction post earlier this evening so am going to copy over some of the information I have put in that as I think it's a good starter. I'm starting tomorrow and feel completely prepared. I want to make this diary as a...

Well done. I start tomorrow. Am really nervous as I don't want to fail. How are you getting on a day after weigh in? xxx
