Hiya and welcome back.
I wish I could do cambridge but fail miserably with VLCD, cant get past day 1.
How much did you loose last time you did Cambridge and what have you gained?
I just seem to struggle with any diet. Counting points at the minute and so far so good!
Best of luck and speak soon x x
Hiya
Well, last time I lost 13 stone in 11 months and was over the moon to be a skinny minnie... kept it off for a good what, 18 months - 2 years.. but have regained almost 10 stone in the short space of 2 years... and am gutted!
I swore I would never do CD again but here I am... doing it... and to be honest, I know now what to expect, how to cope with the challenges etc.. and am looking forward to the weight loss, the increase of energy, the fresher skin, the dress sizes falling rapidly, and feeling more like an attractive woman than a lump of lard!
Trust me, this is far easier than calorie counting, points notching or whatever else.. if you can do it, it's the dogs doodahs.. if you can't then don't... but it may take a while to find what works for you.. but you will

Karen - I know mate.. and I have only decided to do it because I am ready to tackle it all over again... *sigh*... I ache to slip into my lovely tops and jeans again.. and my lovely dresses... and most of all, my biking leathers. Now I have my license and a bike ... (passed my test over 2 years ago when skinny!)... I have lovely gear to wear but can't even get my pudgy arms in let alone do anything up!! Blarh!!
Day 1 has gone remarkably well... back on my standard choc mint muffins and spicy tomato soup regime and gallons of water...
Already got the runny tummy (polite way of saying squits!)... and headache but am taking the paracetomols and never straying far from a loo! Am not going to weigh myself at all at home - haven't weighed myself in months - not even let the WiiFit do it... lol.. it's so rude! lol Draws little podgy person!!
So - day 1 better than anticipated and surprisingly still like the tastes! Am trying the pecan and maple porridge tomorrow - hope its as nice as it sounds... if not then won't bother again.. lol
1st weigh in is on Thursday - my CDC is a pleasant enough girl - I say girl, but she's a young mother and very straightforward (which I really respect). She's only 15 minutes away which is great too. I warned her that the first few days are the toughest for me and to expect a gibbering wreck on the phone.. lol...
Anyhow, off to bed now as am cream-crackered. Did a load of housework whilst I had the energy.
My chap "Shrek" came back from visiting his mother today... we have much to sort out, but for now, I can't be doing with that nonsense so am just going to focus on getting fitter and trimmer again... I reckon by Christmas I should be a good 6 stone lighter - which will be faaaaabuloso!! Got a major Christmas party that I want to look the bees thingy-wotsits at so that'll be good. I know just the dress I want to wear too - already in my wardrobe... lol
At least this time I won't have a problem with clothes - got more clothes in this house than New Look has in their distribution centre!!
Right - bed time...
Thank you all so much for your encouragement - it means a lot. Cheryl (Eclipse) thank you for encouraging me to bite the bullet and come back to Minis on a more regular basis...
More tomorrow no doubt! xxx
