Re: Newbie! Buddy? X

Hi Emz, the weekend is gonna be tough!
I've just had to turn down girly wine night with friend, said I'm on a diet and not drinking so she thinks I'm being boring
Fiancé away all weekend so at least I don't have to watch him eat!
Feel really lightheaded today, think I might have to have something off the ss food list 2moro if it carries on....
Hope you all have a good weekend x

Re: Newbie! Buddy? X

I've been lucky to avoid the headaches. Take paracetamol, it's ok. It won't last, it's your body adjusting.

Tried the choc mint shake this evening, it was gross managed about half and then had to leave it.

 

[Emz33]

Its hard when your friends are out and there drinking, you could always go and drive ive done that or make excuses lik your on antibiotics etc.

Its hard at the start getting use to what shakes you like, i use be gagging at the start but i stuck with banana from there on, i have 2 soups and a shake find it much easier.

Hope the headache eases hun

Hope I haven't blown it!
Went to my little brother's football presentation and then mum wanted to go for a meal. So I went for grilled cajun chicken and side salad... Gave my chips away, which was tough, and then watched brother eat a huge toffee waffle sundae - surprised I wasn't drooling!!
Weigh in for me tomorrow evening, if it's anything less than half a stone I will be gutted!

Hope everyone else getting on ok xx

 

[Emz33]

Hi Ladies

Just thought I'd join in. I'm on Day 5 and hoping I'm now in ketosis as I've really struggled all weekend. I've been 100% but it's been hard.

I did this diet about 8 years ago for my wedding and lost 2 stones in 2 months. My first goal was to stay ss until I went on holiday on 28th June but just found out over the weekend that a meal has been organised for my Granda's 80th at the beginning of June so I'll have to speak to my consultant about this.

Good luck to everyone this week.

 

[Sarah:D]

Thanks for the welcome Lucy; ) be proud of youself foe being able to ss with two children

I really wanna look good for the summer, we are gonna go to norway july, and visit my husbonds family, and i really dont want to be the fat one:; (

Limedragon hang on to it, because its due to us giving in that we got to our size im really struggling today, and trying to visualise the skinny me its working I hope, )

Whwn do you have your weighins?

 

[Lucy091281]

Re: Newbie! Buddy? X

Another 3lbs off this week that's 13 in 3 weeks hopefully now I've switched to CWP the losses will be better.

I am saving £29 a week by switching its great. More money to spend in Lush which is my new obsession I am learning to treat or cheer myself up without using food.

Hope everyone else is doing well

My weigh in is on Thursday morning. This is definitely the first day I haven't been hungry so hopefully I can stay on track, it's after 8pm and I have still to have my third shake of the day - this is the longest I've managed to hold off.

I have 2 young sons too so cooking for them, even food shopping for them is not fun but their Dad has been making their evening meals which helps.

Thanks Sarah, I'm the same. I intend to take my 2 boys swimming when we go away and don't want to feel the "big lady" in the pool. Last time I went swimming I was 32 weeks pregnant so was quite happy having a big tummy as it was supposed to be there! lol

Well done Danielle, you're doing great.

Hey Lime!

My 1st weigh in is Thursday arvo!

Gotta admire you & all others CWPers who have to prepare and handle food for others while doing a VLCD.....I feel quite lazy - no food prep & no eating near me!

Best luck for your weigh in!

Exactly!

Although peeps say that it is never as good a loss beyond the 1st week, it sure is a great kick-start!

Fingers crossed for everyone else having their 1st weigh-in!

Starting Cambridge Diet tomorrow (15th/05). Looking for a buddy please

Hi, I am new to this site. I am starting the Cambridge plan tomorrow and wondered if there were any other newbies or anyone else just starting? I am seeing the Counsellor tonight for the first time. I have around 7 stone to lose and am going to need a LOT of support. I am determined to do this (but then aren't we all at the start?) I need for this to work as nothing else has. Any motivational words would be greatly appreciated

 

[Mememe]

Hi Charmy. I'm new to using this site too.
its my day 1 again today as failed yesterday :-( today has been very easy (don't want to jinx it) but have had loads of encouragement of everyone on this forum which has really pushed me and today is the start of my weight loss journey and failure here on in is simply not an option for me.
i have 5 1/2 stone to lose so similar to you.

I would say that it's a 'mentally challenging' diet above all else and once your there then there will be no stopping you! And me!!!!
