12.00 pound ebay was asking for athe cambridge diet water flavourings, diabolical!!

she is a poor excuse for a woman!

add a few sweeteners to sweeten them up x

well done on the 6lb kellie x

congratulations on doing both, it must feel very hard at times, but hang on in there im sure u can do it, all u need is the motivation.... i myself quit and found a forum for smoking helped me quite a lot, so y not try it yourself its www.quitnet.com. good luck x

hi donna marie, add 1 level scoop of mixa mousse to the contents of 1 sachet of any cambridge diet drink flavour, add 150ml of very cold water and mix for at least 1 minute using a blender or whisk. pour into serving bowl and allow to set for 10 mins in fridge or cool room

how can they be allowed to put these on and charge these prices?

diabolical!!

hi cheeky monkey, hopefully some1 will be along soon to answer about ur veg portions as i have only been on here 2 wks myself, but click on my tracker and that will take u2 the page u require, good luck x

hop u get it sorted sez x

hi sez where did u get ur scales from and how much were they? x

thanks every one, i will now weigh myself only in the mornings x

thanks stush, i was beginning 2 worry that something was wrong with me :-) x

how much exactly does drinking all the water add to your body weight? in the morning i weigh 11st 7lb, but by the evening i weigh 11st 10lb,sometimes 11st 11lb? does anybody else end up 3lb or more heavier by the evening, or is it just me?

what does scale hop every time u got a pee mean helsbels? i didnt realise there were any pompey people on here bish bosh apart from kellie and myself, x i hope ur doing well bish bosh?

your a stronger woman then me, as theres no way i could or would while on holiday, likes my food to much. whatever u choose to do, enjoy yourself x

have a lovely holiday jacky x

i am 37. 38 in december x

well done kellie, my scales show me a lot heavier than jackys, so i think i will wait 4 her return, either that or buy new scales :-) x

u can do it ceekay x

the chicken and mushroom is not bad either x

im off there in august,so i have to lose this weight x

bump

oops i posted b4 i had finished. so basically really want 2 know if they do slow down ur weight loss, then i will somehow have 2 get use to them without sweeteners x

sweeteners i was told that sweeteners do not affect ur weight loss, how did u come to the conclusion that this is not true 4u susieq? sorry 4 all the questions but i really dislike the shakes so take 3 sweeteners to sweeten them up and they then taste nice x

add a couple of sweeteners to shakes and they really do flavour them nicely x

i to use the 8fl oz with a couple of sweeteners thrown in tastes just like the crusha milkshake especially the strawberry x

very handy little site, many thanks ruth x

hows it going 4u nursebex? x

thanks for replying nurse bex, doing quite well on cd, not finding it as diffucult as i thought it would be, that is until food is around me in sight, then obviously i want it!! but a shake normally sorts it out, roll on next week though i will be allowed bars for the 1st time,yum yum, something...

thank you kareno x

thanks for replying abz x

how many of us actually add sweeteners to our shakes? and how many do you all add? i'l start yes to sweeteners and i have 3!! :-) x

WHAT WOULD MAKE U SICK ABZ? AND WHAT IS LITTERED ALL OVER THE HOUSE?

havent actually tried bars yet(roll on next week) :-) but im swaying towards them,something i can get my teeth into x

thanks oxfordruse x

thanks becky85 x

sorry 2 hijack your thread but i was givin some stix last night from cdc but nothing to compare colour to, the colour went a sort of red grape cranberry juice colour, so does this mean im not drinking enough water? im already drinking 4 litres a day, any help would be greatly appreciated x

good luck lovelea x

thanks ceri x

and what is your pharmacist opinion? also thanks to kellie and big bosh x

if im out and feel a bit wobbly i carry a picture and i also have stuck pictures of myself around the house of when i was slim, so if i think mmm that food looks nice, i then look at pics and say to myself but that looks nicer, that is what has motivated me x

the saying is donna,the more you drink, the more you shrink. good luck you can do it x
