updated for you Angel...wow 9lbs!! that's fabulous, well done you, hope you have another fab week!!

Hey Nibbles, how you doing? Hope you are back on track with the 1200 you are my shining example so I really want to hear that you're getting on well!! thanks for the comment on my pic, that was my birthday night out and have had some lovely comments from friends on how come i look younger than them...hee hee! So...I have moved up to the 1000 plan now and am loving it! my home scales have even moved under 10 which they haven't done since early december so the extra food must be having a good effect on me. I haven't changed my goal with my CDC officially so when I reach 10st (1lb to go) that'll be me at goal with her, the extra lbs is more of a 'would be nice' but not so important as i am happy at this weight/size anyway (really chuffed about my size 10 work trousers!). Am planning on doing the steps to maintenance religiously so that i can work out my personal cal level for maintaining this weight and from reading others advice on maintaining it seems like the most important step of doing Cambridge!!

Hope everyone is doing well, anyone have any news?

[Pretika]

Hi All - Lelly glad you are enjoying 1000 plan - you are my shining example - I got on the scales this morning and it said 10st 4lbs ( 2 lbs less then Tuesday WI) - So I am hopeful that I will have lost about 3lbs on Tuesday - and then I am going to move up to 810. I have a planned day out next Friday with Hubby - So a bit freaked out as to what I am going to eat, any suggestions?

 

[Dieting Rambler]

Hi there! 5lbs off this week for me! Well done to everyone you are doing fabulous!

 

[LellyCD]

Well done on those 5lbs DR!! you are doing great!! Good luck for another fab week!!

xx

 

[Berryred]

well done again everyone!!

 

[LellyCD]

Hi Pretika, good news on those scales moving good luck for those 3lbs and moving onto the 810 plan, i really liked that plan too and it feels like lots of food after doing ss and having milk in coffee again was a luxury! Are you planning on eating out or taking food with you? if taking food, maybe get a bar or take some cooked chicken n salad too? if eating out I'd probably go for chicken or fish with salad or veg and keep it as low carb as possible, hope you have a fab time!

xx

 

[Nibbles]

That long list of names is looking fab.
But i am one that has not added anything, having stayed the same weight at my last WI.
But impatient me, stood on my own scales this morning and i shall whisper, that i think i may have lost 3 lbs, but my WI with the CDC isn't til Wednesday nite, so i shall not post any loss in haste.
Out tonight, but chosen to drive, so no one knows why i will not be boozing. Shame it is with friends we haven't seen in a few years, as they don't know about my weight gain then loss. So there will be no exclamations about my size. And don't plan to tell them either. DH sworn to silence.

 

[angie-bum]

another 2 off for me please, hope to be at pre christmas weight by next week

 

[Nibbles]

another 2 off for me please, hope to be at pre christmas weight by next week

You and me both:8855:
Well done on getting back to pre Xmas, i'm still trying

OMG Some men !!!! My husband didn't realize the invitation was for dinner & drinks. So we turn up, having eaten at home and the dinner table is all set up for 6.
Haven't seen these friends in about four years and the other wives have put on so much weight, that i stood out like a sore thumb and the talk centered around me and i admitted to CD.
Ate a starter, said no to the main course, but had tiny pudding and little bit of cheese and crackers. No diet drinks available, so suffered in silence on full fat Coke.
So have i ruined my next Wednesday WI ??? Time will tell.
Working tonight and tomorrow night, so will be sure i behave for the next four days.
Men !!!!

 

[Berryred]

oh no nibbles but yeah to you being the one who got the look at you talk

Think of now and get back on track hun, it was one night, now it's gone!

What did they say about cd? where they pleased for you?

 

[Nibbles]

What did they say about cd? where they pleased for you?

I really find anyone that i know, who wants to lose or could do with losing weight is very quick to condemn CD, so i avoid mentioning the name of the diet and just refer to having done a VLCD. Silly really.
If i am questioned further, i am very honest about things. I am 100% sure , CD was the right diet for me and feel so much better about myself now.
Anyway enough from me, off to work in an hour to start an 11 1/2 hour shift. Must find my peppermint/green teabags to take with me and to ensure i do not nibble thru the shift.

 

[LellyCD]

[Diddums]

[LellyCD]

also just a little note
....total losses posted so far 170lbs that's 12st 2lbs !!!!

wow well done everyone, let keep at it!!!

 

[Pretika]

Morning All - I hope that you all had a good weekend. I need some advice. I am about 8lbs away from my first goal which takes me under a bmi of 25. I then thought that as things were going well a few weeks ago that I would move it down a little further. The thing is that I have been SSing for nearly all the diet - and now I am fed up of it and to be honest so is my husband - we have had 4 months of hardly any social life.... Im not complaining as I have lost over 3 stone - but I have had enough... I want to lose the rest of my weight more "conventionally" and I am a size 10 all over now so I dont mind if it takes a little longer - what I do want is to be able to eat - not the bad crap as I have it clear in my mind what is good for me and what is not and I will never revert back to my old habits.... I am now at a stage where I want to increase the intesnity of my exercise ( I want to start running). But here is my biggest fear !! I have only lost weight when I am in ketosis... will I still lose if I stop SSing!!

I suppose what I am saying is that I know that I should stop Ssing but I am scared that the weight will go back on...I stopped on Saturday and ate a 810 meal and this morning I have put on 2lbs!??

What should I do! Any advice welcome.

Thansk
