    My bestfriend tells me diet forums are dangerous!

    in a way i do understand what your friend is saying, all weightloss groups spur you on to lose weight, and obviously- that is what they are there for, but some people might continue to lose weight even though they don't need to anymore and become unhealthily obsessed with losing weight, and just...

    Quitting smoking

    well, 2 weeks and still no cigarettes- and i'm really proud of myself, as i did go out for drinks quite a few times, and ppl were smoking around me, plus- alcohol always makes me want to smoke, and even though i almost cried once because i wanted to smoke so badly- i didn't:)

    Anyone into Tattoos,Piercings & Body Modification?

    my tattoo took about 45mins to do, from what i can remember, i got it re-done once after that as well, and that took 20mins. i actually almost fell asleep while they were doing the tattoo, it didn't hurt at all (got it on my lower back)- it's probably because of all the fat:P

    Quitting smoking

    How much - cottage cheese question

    i couldn't believe it was 300g of quorn- i mean, 300g of mince quorn is a whole bag.... i did enjoy the cottage cheese though, it was enough to fill me up for most of the day, but didn't give me that bloated, i'm-gonna-die-if-i-move feeling that quorn gave me:)
  62. izmirka

    Coke Zero

    yup, coke zero used to be allowed but i guess CD manufacturers realized it makes a lot of ppl hungry and tends to make them overeat, so they removed it from the allowed liquids:)

    Coke Zero

    it's allowed when u are doing the 1000kcal and higher plans. when u are doing SS and SS+ it's pretty much not allowed. i mean- it won't necessarily slow your weight loss but u will feel hungry as hell:)

    Forever Fat

    i feel the same way. i know that someday i will finally see myself slim, but it will take quite a lot of time. i constantly see myself as fat, even though i know that i'm not, i'm just so used to always being either fat or chubby, and it is hard to suddenly change my way of thinking. i have a...

    Has anyone tried the new mullerlights?

    i love all of them, but the best one is cherry. they're awesome!! they have 85-98kcal per pot, depending on the flavour:D i think cherry has 98, orange has 85kcal and vanilla 86kcal. amazing stuff:)

    Advice Needed - Warning - Food Mentioned!

    they should have an option like cut-up chicken pieces. i remember i went with my friends to a chinese restaurant and they had a chicken starter- it was basically cooked chicken pieces with soy sauce, but u can just disregard the soy sauce:)

    How many calories is everyone on??

    thank u:) the pic was taken on Christmas Day (obviously:P) and since then I lost around 5lbs. I came off Cambridge Diet on the 21nd of December, so now I'm just calorie counting to prevent gaining weight:) to be honest, i don't really watch what i eat, i just count the calories. so, for example...
  128. izmirka

    eating between 1200-1500 cals a day? will i lose weight?

    it depends on how much you weigh. if you are 20st, even if u eat 2000kcal a day u will lose weight at first, because the more u weigh, the more energy your body needs to maintain:)
  129. izmirka

    Can you eat pretty much what you want if you...........

    i have treats almost every day:) it depends on the day, but i had days where i ate around 700kcal of cookies/muffins etc, and was therefore left with very little calories for actual meals. but it definitely can be done, if i have a bad day and eat a lot of cookies or sweets in general, i just...
  130. izmirka

    How many calories is everyone on??

    i find bmr quite unreliable. mine is 1750kcal i think, but when i eat anything close to 1700 i gain weight instantly, and then i need to eat less the next day for the weight to come back down again. pointless and irritating:)
  131. izmirka

    How many calories is everyone on??

    i'm usually somewhere between 1150-1500kcal. i very rarely go over 1500kcal. and i'm not losing any weight:) well, if i eat 1200kcal i do lose a bit, but when i eat 1500 the weight pops back up:)

    What can I add to my soups?

    i used pepper and tabasco. actually tabasco helped me a lot during the first few months- when i felt really hungry i poured some tabasco on a plate and ate it by itself:) but i am weird like that, i like things spicy:D

    Spare packs?

    my cdc just lets me buy whatever i need, or lets me swap the sachets if i feel like it. i always have sachets left over because i often see her on different days of the week. this tuesday i won't actually need to buy any food because i have enough sachets to get me through my last week of CD, so...

    Any photos from Cambridge Conference ?

    i took my camera but didn't get to take any pictures:( my CDC took a few but only those when I was getting the semi-finalist diploma. it's in my album.

    Post your points queries here :) One of our experts will get back to you ;)

    hi, i wonder if anybody can help me with this one. how many points would i have to eat if i wanted to maintain weight after CD? I'm 5'7 and will probably get down to 10st by the end of the re-feed. I wanted to do a bit of weight watchers right after CD so that I don't get fat again:D

    Coke 0 - Diet Coke

    i wasn't allowed to drink it on CD until I started the 1000kcal step. If you really want to drink coke though, chose coke zero, as it doesn't have citric acid (apparently:D). it won't do you much damage, the reason why they don't allow ppl to drink it on a vlcd is because it increases your appetite.

    Please do NOT buy these on ebay!

    i remember i almost took some tibetan slimming pills once. my stepmom told me about them, because her friends used them. they were called Meitizang and were based on either speed or meth or smth like that, and my stepmom's friends lost a lot of weight while taking them. i asked my stepmom to get...

    Any news from SOTY

    yup, he did seem like a real nice guy, didn't get to talk to him though because I left right after the conference:( but he really deserved to win, like a lot of the other semi-finalists for that matter. And I can confirm- Sharon won Maintainer of the Year:)

    foodpack question , help please !

    i always had problems with leftover sachets on Cambridge, but my CDC has been really great and I just ordered less foodpacks when I had to save money... I remember at one point I had around 20 foodpacks left over, and I was able to exchange them for some new ones, and I therefore saved up 35...

    i've almost lost a 2 month old horse:D
  224. izmirka

    i now understand why..........

    i think they are just trying to be nice. i get a lot of comments like that, including a text from one of my friends that if i still feel fat it means i'm anorexic... but other than that, i think they're just trying to compliment you and make you aware that they notice the difference:)

    has anyone looked @ the www.seeyourselfslimmer.co.uk website...

    i use photoshop 7.0 the new, fancy ones (CS3, CS4 etc.) usually contain viruses or don't work:) and photoshop 7.0 is an older edition and you can download it without a problem. For example: Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Complete with Serial Torrent - btjunkie

    it's not that complicated, you just need to choose the right picture, because it will be a lot harder to change it when you are for example standing next to someone else, or where there's a lot going on in the background. The easiest picture to start you off with is where you are standing in...

    well, legally- yes:) but you can find quite a lot of free torrents on the internet with all the cracks an keygens and stuff:) but u need to read people's comments under the torrents because a lot of them contain viruses or don't work. i remember that the only free version i found was Photoshop...

    Excited as hell!:)

    i did SS for around 1,5 months, then switched to SS+, because i went to visit my mother in Germany for 2 weeks and wanted to at least eat lunches with her. i wanted to switch to SS+ for only those 2 weeks and go back to SS but I liked the extra meal so much that I just couldn't go back:D so i...

    yup, i feel pretty good about myself, but my brain didn't really get used to losing so much weight because i still feel chubby:/ i am still a fat girl inside and my mind just cannot comprehend that i'm actually a lot thinner. actually, i was talking to one of my friends a few days ago, and he...

  241. izmirka

    Excited as hell!:)

    i weigh *cough* 66kg now (it's 10.4st). On my CDC scales I always weigh around 3-4 pounds more though, because obviously i'm wearing clothes and am after a meal:) I used to weigh 111kg. It took me 7 months to lose the weight.
  242. izmirka

    Excited as hell!:)
