Hi everyone,
Have just joined today, have been doing CD four days now, am starting to get over the headaches and dizziness, have started on 790 due to work commitments didn't want to drop calories too quickly.
Am setting up my own cosmetic laser clinic in next two months so am shattered already but would like to get into a uniform a few sizes smaller.
Have tried all the other diets so am going to give this one a go, i have ready all your comments and you are all inspiring, so will keep following your progress with enthusiasm.
CDC is going on holiday at end of week so had weigh in today, 3lbs in first four days, lost 1 1/2 inch off waist.
Starting weight 11st 10lb (20th Sept)
now 11st 7lb
must learn how to put a ticker on my posts.
look forward to following all your stories.

Hi Everone,
I'm Sharon and I'm 36. I live in High Wycombe in Bucks, and this is my 5th week - can't believe I've stuck to it for that long, but now I'm seeing results, I'll stick with it. I work in TV (for my sins!) but I love it.
I'm single (and LOOKING!) and have a gorgeous mad cat called Willy. And I LOVE this website!!

Hi everyone
I`m Sarah, married to Pete for 11 years and have one gorgeous boy who was 4 last week named Kian ( no not a westlife fan)
Currently living in Norfolk but originally from South Yorkshire, Due to move to Lincolnshire at christmas!!!
Moved around a lot as hubby is in Forces.
We have one cat Ollie ( olivia) if she`s being posh and a guinea pig called Haggis ??
Working part time in our local shop 3 nights a week and studying Aromatherapy and Massage.
Originally trained as a hairdresser and beautician, hoping to set up from home when we get moved.
Have been a "big" girl for most of my adult life except for when I had my boy as I was a stone lighter??
Didn`t take long to gain it though due to munching my way through "buckets" of maltesers, had my cravings after i`d given birth lol.
I like horse riding, walking and crafts and my big passion is handbags ( I have about 50) lol
Tried all the diets and found that cd really works for me.
The End

Hello
Hi everyone, i haven't posted on here before but i've been reading the posts to keep my motivation up, which it does! I'm Scarlett and i live in Glasgow. I've been on Cambridge since February, and have lost over 5 and a half stone. This diet has changed my life...like a lot of you i've 'been on a diet' since i was about 9 (am 42 now) and all i did was get fatter! I still have about half a stone to lose and i am determined i WILL get there!
Best things about this diet...in some ways its easy...no food, so no thinking, 'i'll just have a bit of that'. Seeing people's faces when they haven't seen me for a while. Shopping....now a joy rather than a nightmare...there are more shops around than just Evans! Mainly tho its not feeling that the first time i meet someone new that they don't just see 'a fat person' and make all the corresponding judgements. I'm not stupid, lazy or greedy! Or maybe they are just the judgements i made about myself! Good luck everyone on their journey!

Hi everyone, my name is Susan, I am 42 years old, married for 23 years to a wonderful man who is also my best friend, we have 2 daughters (21 and 17) and one son 14, we have a 5 month old grand daughter!
this is my second time doing CD, am just starting my 3rd week and it's going fine!
I have had alot of back problems which are getting better at the moment, fingers crossed it stays that way.
I work part time for bp, live in Stoke on Trent, have 3 dogs, a basset hound, beagle and yellow lab - they are my babies and we love daily walks which usually last an hour (most days)!
Now that the kids are more or less grown up I want to travel, at least twice a year, we had a 9 year break from holidays so we have alot of making up to do...next stop, thailand, then the maldives (2008) hence the losing weight!
Cheer all...:grouphugg:

Hello,
Im Natasha and I am 25. I live in Faversham with my fiance Mark, we are due to get married sometime in 2009. I am currently at Christ Church University training to be a Midwife. I finish my course in about 5 months.
I was slim throughout my childhood up until I was 17, then I gradually put on about 5 stone over the years. Now I am fed up with my weight and feel unattractive and have little confidence. I am also concerned for my health in the future. I have tried weight watchers and slimming world but I could only do that for a short time as I get bored very easily!! I started the CD 2 weeks ago and so far I have lost 13lb.
Good luck to you all :grouphugg:

Hi Sharon, I hear you about the riding thing. Riding is the one thing I want to do more than anything but at the moment the RSPCA would come after me! Roll on the slim us!
