I'm kelly 39+2yrs practice:p:D

I know you are dissapointed but, you are starting again today:) Think back, in the past would you have been able to stop? I know I couldn't! So the plus side is you have re-started before the old food issues really take control. Today is a new day go on have a shake (you know you want to:))

Don't be so hard on yourself. I think most of us are on this diet because we have a problem with deciding when enough is enough when it comes to food. You've had a blip, pick yourself up and commit to today, tomorrow you will feel more positive:)

I felt really sick after the first shake:( After a couple of days I was fine:) The shakes started to aste differently after a couple of days. Strawberry is not my favourite but at least I can stomach it now. Hope you feel better soon:)

LOL I call mine my comedy balloons:D

Kelly - Kelly:D

Thanks Mark, I am not upset about it, more confused than anything. It hasn't altered my determination, at least I can exercise this week:)

Mark that is brilliant, It's so hard passing fast food stands:) My bottom lip quivers every time I pass a kfc in the car. Well done you:)

Lost 2lbs:confused: I have been 100%, I drink 4ltrs of water a day. Never mind, I have lost 10lbs in 2 weeks so that is a positive:) and I wore a pair of shorts yesterday that I couldn't wrestle over my backside two weeks ago. We shall see what next week brings:) Start weight 14st Now weigh...

Putting my name forward for Pink Ladies. I'm on day 14 still 100%

If anyone is struggling or having a bad day, I recomend looking at the inspiration slide show. It cheers me up no end:)

Thanks Mark and Isis, I'm having a really bad day today and the thought of Exante going bust really freaked me out!

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum:) I am supposed to be working at the minute, but will try and get back later to answer some questions. I think coke zero is ok. There you go one answered already:)

Flippin 'eck Mark that is some weight loss:) You must be very happy, and so you should be! Well done you:)

I checked the powder, but before I knew that exante did a discount for bulk orders I did slimfast for a few weeks. For 2 weeks I did the ready made because I love fruits of the forrest and tescos were doing them for a pound each. When that offer finished I bought the strawberry powder. I...

Carbs on Slimfast 34g per portion Carbs on exante 18.5g per portion. I still have some slimfast at home

Mark I think the carbs are much higher with slimfast, not sure but you might knock yourself out of ketosis.

Isis that is fantastic:) Well done you!

I have lost 8lbs Group loss 34lbs

Thanks everyone, the support here is amazing, it really keeps me going:)

Thats the fella:D

I am so happy, I lost 8lbs:D Over the moon doesn't describe it. (Where's that emoticon that runs about daft?) I want me one of them:D

I don't mind cooking, but I know what my food tastes like:eek:

On the bright side you are still 10 pounds lighter than when you started:) You sound determined, I believe you can do it! you should too:)

I'm on day 6 and hubby trying to be helpful yesterday bought a KFC for himself and the kids. That is the first time I've been tempted, I've told him that I would much prefer to cook. It does get better Mark, it's just those carb cravings kicking in a bit.

Oh well done you:) I'm not jealous at all (maybe just a little bit:D)

You can borrow mine if you like:) It does come with a warning though, sometimes I struggle to work out what I'm thinking, It'd be nice to have a break:p:D

That would be me:o

How could you cheat on your shakes? I'm telling:p What a result 14lbs in a week, you must be so chuffed:) Well done you!

Looking at your start weight 7lbs is a fantastic weight loss:D My first time around I weighed 16 stone and only lost 5lbs after being 100% the first week. You should be very proud of yourself.

I think my first time round I was in ketosis after day 4. The only way you can be really sure is to test on ketosticks

I'm comitting to me:) Too much time wasted dragging myself down. I'm 40 now and if I don't think of my weight now I don't think I ever will.

Having done a vlcd before, I can tell you that as a few weeks go by, and you are used to being in ketosis thoughts of food do go away:) My biggest problem in the first few weeks was missing carbs, it does go I promise you. I am starting again and on day 3, I am so looking forward to ketosis...

Thanks everyone:) I read this site for over a week before taking the plunge again. You are all so supportive and I feel bad for whinging in this thread and not adding to another thread to be supportive. I promise that when the ketosis fairy visits me soon, that I will stop whinging and start...

Thanks. I remember feeling like this for the first week on Cambridge. I bought the bumper pack too, so I can't give up either:)

Had my first shake about an hour ago, feel quite sick:(

I have them now:D I'm going to start in the morning. I'm happy now, give me until Wednesday and if I haven't shouted at anyone for eating a sandwich in front of me, I should be fine.

Thanks to both of you:) I still haven't got my delivery and I have been up since 5 this morning, I have resigned myself to starting tomorrow now because there is only so long I can survive on coffee and water. So it's a low carb day for me today in preperation for tomorrow:)

Hi everyone:) In 2008 I did the Cambridge Diet, I did really well losing almost 6 stone:D Well I'm now 4 stone heavier and have decided to give Exante a try before the other 2 go back on :( I have spent the last two weeks :cry:and then I remembered Minimins:) I decided on Exante purely...

When I lost all of my weight, I gave everything to a charity shop. The only mistake I made was not to buy size 12's, instead I wore loose 14's. I have now put 2 1/2 stones back on. My size 14's are so tight I had no choice but to come back to Cambridge. I'm now on day 5 and in love with...

As the title says I'm back again. I lost 5 and a half stones last year with cambridge. I knew my weight was creeping up and kept saying I'll start again Monday. Well Monday came and went for months and I've now put 2 and a half stones back on. I couldn't believe it when I saw my scales, and I...

As the title says, I need a swift kick. I have stuck with CD through birthdays, holidays and a wedding for the last 5 months losing 5 stone, I only have 15lbs to lose. Last week my CDC told me I had to go on the 1000 plan. Instead of doing 1000, I have been doing more like 2000. To my...

OMG you look fab:) I still have 2 stones to go and you have just given me the kick up the backside that I needed. I want to be like you!

Yes, I did 810, I was on holiday and followed it to the letter, I was lucky I never came out of ketosis. I did find it difficult to have 3 shakes as well as a meal but it was worth it:)

When I did my add a meal after 10 weeks SS, I lost 5lbs:) I wasn't expecting to lose anything. Since then I have lost a steady 3lbs a week.

I had to be refered to a surgeon, 8 weeks wait for appt. Once I had been seen he had to write back to docs to say he would do it if my pct would fund it. Approval for funding took 3 months to come through and the I waited for a further 6 months. My surgeon worked in a different health...

ooh 2 Kellys, both of which have had reductions. How are you feeling now hun?

Yes I did get it done on the NHS, I was a 36J and went down to a C. In total I had around 7lbs removed. Funny thing is I am a stone lighter now and am a D. When I had it done I thought it would be the answer to all my weight problems, it wasn't. All the excersize I promised myself I would...

Welcome back:) I had the op about 5 years ago, best thing I ever did. Hope you don't have to wait to long.

I can remember feeling really stroppy in my second week that hubby and kids were having a roll for lunch that I really wanted. I promise it does get better, craving for carbs will go. I'm in week 12 now and I don't think about what I can't have anymore. Instead I look forward to what I can...

I feel so much healthier and I'm ridiculously happy. I'm coming to the end of my ninth week, I don't think I've lost anything this week and I don't care because I know next week the scales WILL move. Like I said stupid happy:D

Please don't start smoking again. I gave up once when I wasn't dieting, I stopped smoking for 6 months, didn't even think about starting again until I put on weight. I started smoking again and didn't lose a pound, it's just not worth it. I stress, I put on the weight because I wasn't dieting...

Perfect sense and perfect excuse to do nothing today. You are a star:D

Great:) My kids are getting everything I want while I lay with my legs elevated. Ankles slightly swollen still, but I will make the most of my rest.

Well done on your loss you deserve it after remaining 100% with a difficult few days:) I think if you have even a slight pink reading you are in Ketosis, I'm sure someone who knows more than me will be able to confirm it.

Ok, so feet up drinking. I can do that:D Thanks everyone.

My ankles and feet are quite swollen and puffy, they don't hurt. If it is water retention what can I do?

Do you have another CDC that lives near you, they maybe able to sell you some supplies.

You look so different now, well done:)

The same thing happens to some women after pregnancy, whilst you are pregnant nutrients are going to your baby so therefore your hair looks thick and healthy. Once you have the baby you lose hair. It doesn't take long for lost hair to grow back, if your lucky it hardly notices. I really...

Hi, it really depends what plan you are doing. When I started CD I needed to lose 6 stone, I am doing sole source which is 3 packs per day, 4 if you are 5ft 8 or over. 8 Weeks in and I have lost 2 stone. I really can't help you with the other plans as I don't know much about them at the...

So pleased your date went well, he sounds like a keeper:)

She is a beauty, you must be very proud:)

I had a breast reduction 5yrs ago on the NHS. At the time my GP looked my height, weight and bra size up on a chart and I had to have a number below 30 on the chart before I would get funding. At the time I was a 36J. Also I told my GP that even when I was 9.5 stone I had a G cup.

3lbs Total 44lbs Wow 9 posters, over 3 stone

Try to ignore their comments, you are trying to do something about your weight, they could try improving themselves by doing something about their attitudes. Keep with it hon, it's so worthwhile:)

I'm at the start of week 9, I feel so sick today. I'm not sure whether it is anything to do with the diet though:sigh:

I'm 5ft 5 and 13st 9, I can barely get an 18 to do up:(

The day before I went to see my CDC for the first time, my Husband wanted us to visit his sister who we hadn't seen for years. I cried my heart out because I couldn't bare for her to see me as fat as I was, I told him I couldn't look at myself the way I was nevermind let his sister see me...

Thats fantastic, well done:)

Thanks, everyone is so lovely on here, I may not post much but I read the forum everyday. Its everyone on here that has kept me going:)

Thanks, Just lately I've been feeling down because my weight loss is so slow, but I've made the 1 stone per month and thats all that anyone ever claimed I could lose. So time to be really happy with how I'm doing, and I am:D

2 stones in 8 weeks, I am delighted:D My worst fear was that my ugly overhanging baby belly would stay, I'm so happy that whilst my weight is going down my belly is lifting up. I have been obese for 13 years, I never thought it would go. I love this diet:D

Ok, my minds made up now I'm just gonna go for it. Thanks everyone:)

Thanks for your reply:) One day I'll stop dithering and just get on with it;)

I could easily do an hour, but I'm worried about my body going into starvation mode that other FMs have mentioned. My CDC has told me the more I do, the more I will lose. Don't know what to do!

I do half an hour aerobics on the Wii Fit everyday, is that too much?

OMG! you look amazing. You're an inspiration to me, keep up the good work:)

Got mine after seeing your thread rolo:) I'm completely addicted to it, only trouble is fighting my kids to get on it.

Thanks everyone:) This time next year I will be 40 and slim:D

A banana tetra:) I normally mix my own shakes, but felt I needed a treat. My family think I'm nuts, got to admit I think so too:D

Well done, staying on SS can sometimes be really hard. I started at 15st 9, it is so nice to be in the 13's, I still have a long way to go but I love this diet:)

Day 49 for me, had a wobble last week when I felt really hungry, a couple of days later I was fine:) I'm so happy I stuck with SS.

Thankyou, I'm getting mine Wednesday:D

Well done, no you are not being silly. If I ever get down to a size 14 I'm going to announce it in the local paper:o:D

I have a cross trainer that I use everyday. I love it, normally I hate exercise.

Sorry for the late reply. I drink between 5 to 6 litres of water a day, I never drink coke just plain water. I'm feeling better after having my evening soup a little earlier than normal. I think I will have an early night and hope to have a better day tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who...

I hope so, I have just begged DH to go and get me some chicken. He refused bless him, telling me I would regret it.

I only have shakes or soups, however I used to have soup for lunch now I have a shake, perhaps its that.

Not just me then. Perhaps I have got too cocky, its been quite an easy ride so far.

I have just started week 6 and since week 1 have not been hungry at all. I have not craved a thing. Yesterday and today I have felt starving, I am so hungry I could cry. Has anyone else felt hungry after 5 weeks of SS.

When I was training as a hairdresser I was taught that an oval face can take any style. Hope that helps:)

I haven't been on the forum for a while hun, why do you feel like this?

My daughter had to take Microgynon for 3 months solid, she put on 21lbs. Everyone is different, it may not affect your weight.

Tescos do one for £15.00 which easily crushes ice:)

How brave you are:) I don't post very often but when I'm struggling I read the forum. Good luck to you. I don't think anyone would shy away from you.

I've just looked at your weight loss, you are doing so well. The Saturday before I started CD I sobbed all day because I couldn't bring myself to go somewhere, and then I lost 5lbs in my first week. Every time I feel a bit low I remember how I felt that day.:)

I have a wedding to go to in September, I am so fed up of being Fat Kelly. I would love to be able to go as a size 18. Keep going I'm sure you will look gorgeous

Couple:)

Wierd

Hi, In the first week I found it really difficult to drink the required amount of water. I'm on day 11 now and have finished 4ltrs already. Last week I felt really weak, I have had so much energy since yesterday its unreal, I woke up wide awake at 4.30am yesterday and 5am this morning,

I have a shake in the morning and soups for lunch and dinner, there are so many different flavours, I'm sure you will find something you like.

Hi everyone:) This is my 11th day on CD, I have 6 stone to lose. Weight loss 1st week 5lbs Can I join your gang?
