Cambridge diet - 10 stone to lose

Well done on your loss this week.
I started cwp in nov 2010 and lost 10 stone. I have managed to keep off 7 of it but now back on ss to get rid of that 3 that has crept back on!
The only change this time is that I have given up smoking! I'm finding it a bit harder but tend to drink even more now and have 3 coke zero a day instead of 2!!!
 
It does feel really good. When I was bigger I loved shopping but now I love it even more!!!
It is the only diet that has worked for me and I have done them all!!!
 
Bry - didn't see your comment before. Another coke zero fan yay!!! Do you find you get hungry with 3 cans of coke zero? My sister said she finds she gets hungry if she drinks too much of it.

How long did it take you to lose the 10 stone? Were you 100% all the way?

I was just thinking about how I can't wait to go clothes shopping once I have lost the weight!! I am thinking that I will allow myself 5lbs either side of my target, any more than that and I will do something straight away, don't ever want to go back to having lots of weight to lose.
 
No, it doesn't make me hungry at all luckily.
It took me 8 and a half months to lose 10 stone. I stuck to ss for 12 weeks had 1 week off then went back on ss.
I couldn't cheat because I knew how much money is was costing me on a weekly basis.
I started at 22 stone!
With the hopping, I used to sell things on eBay and then buy off eBay while my ize was changing all the time. It was great because as soon as the clothes got too big again I sold them and bought smaller.
 
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing that and well done, such an achievement!! Hope I can say the same at the end that I was 100%!

I have clothes already in a 20, 18 and 16, 20 and 18 from when I was that and a 16 from different bits I was given so should be ok. Don't have loads but enough to see me through, should be able to wear the 16's when I am a 14, after that I will probably buy from ebay/charity shops until I reach my target. A few weeks back I got 7 t shirts from asda as worst case scenario as you can always wear t shirts when they are too big!! Lol.
 
5 thats great ! lift that up in sugar and you really get a good idea . for me its start day ... was at a funeral yesterday and got plate food , someone in family siad when is diet starting ... wake up call .... so you found it tough ? i guess with 5 off was a big spur on ....

Thank you!! In 5 weeks I have lost 1 stone 10, been totm for 4 weeks now. Sorry about funeral. How is the first day going. Just drunk 1 of my 3 bottles of water!!

Debbie, wow, I am touched that you registered so you can comment. Glad my diary helps you. So is ll going well for you?
 
Well I have been babysitting since 0730 and don't get to give him back until about 2015. Took him to the beach, the tide was out but they have like all these fairground like rides in this park, child heaven for the rides and food, everywhere I turned there was the smell of fast food etc. I just kept drinking my water, had my coke zero and my trusty cambridge shake and bar in my bag ready for when I needed it. Just got to mcdonalds, refused to pay seafront prices for food!! Have to get him something to eat but I am still ok. He has fallen asleep in the back of my car, I could quite happily go to sleep myself. What is it about sea air? Lol. The weather was good one minute, raining the next. There is a sea life centre there as well and although I have a fear of fish I went round it to keep him occupied! We got soaked as it started hammering it down before we left and it was a good 5-10 mins walk back to the car. Silly me had sandals on so my feet were really wet as well. Still soaked!!! Oh, one of the highlights of the day was me thinking I wouldn't be able to fit in any of the rides. It turned out I fit in them all except one, definitely wouldn't have before cambridge!!!

Just waiting for little man to wake up to get him some food. I do like it when children fall asleep in my company as I feel it means they trust you. Hope everyone else is having a nice day!! :)
 
Having to babysit again today 07.30 - 2030. Went to cinema this morning to see madagascar 3. Now at mcdonalds having to watch him eat!! I am sitting here with a black tea, have my water and a shake and a bar in my bag but I so want a big tasty with bacon meal!!! Love big tasty with bacon, it is my favourite meal at mcdonalds!!! I know I probably wouldn't even be able to eat hardly any of it before I was full now though. Have reallly struggled yesterday and today, been so tempted. No more babysitting after today, I can't cope with mealtimes at the moment and not sure if I could stay strong if I still was doing it after today. Hopefully will get over this bad patch very soon. After mcdonalds then it is on to an indoor play area, I am still exhausted after yesterday, hence why I am drinking black tea today. Soo tired, think it will be an early night as soon as I stop babysitting!!!
 
Lol starting to feel like supernanny!!! Think it is more mug in disguise or too soft for my own good sometimes. My mate told me yesterday as soon as her mum was up I would be able tobtake him there but she knew her mum was going out all day!!! Her mum told me she probably thouught she would drop her plans and look after him. I was told yesterday I wouldn't have to have him for long as her nan or mum would be about but found out yesterday that wasn't true either. I have had to pay for everything out of my pocket for friday.... cost me 35 yesterday not including petrol or parking and so far today has cost me 10. I was told that I would be able to stay at the indoor play all day bit turns out you only get an hour... was provided with a packed lunch yesterday but I couldn't stop him eating it all by 10 so obviously had to feed him again. Today I wasn't provided eith a packed lunch and he will probably get hungry again later. I don't have any food at mine so what can I do??

Not very happy about it all, I was asked once in an emergency a couple of weeks ago and it seems like because I bailed her out once that she expects me to bail her out all the time whenever she asks now. She is always broke, getting money out of her is like getting blood out of a stone, originally she was going to give me 20 to babysit, last night she said she would give me 50 to cover the 30 I spent yesterday but basically by the end of today it means I will have done it for free!!!

Rant over, feel a bit mean now!!!
 
Until friday not for friday. Just read it over and horrendous spelling mistakes there. That is what happens when you type fast on a touchscreen phone lol.
 
hi char
Blimey bet he wants to be with you all the time , so much fun .... but yeah , people need to know that there is one offs and other times you need to pay . not many childminders about anymore due to the fact you have to do so much paperwork and pay out now todo it .... a childminder at the school was telling me , you have to write what you've done with them and so on . some don't get paid the gov give people money as tax credits and they don't pay the childminder and the debt goes up and up ... should change the law that the childmind gets the money straight away .
You have done well to go to these places and not touch anything .
I have ordered exante , there was a deal on ******* I was told about by a friend I went on it got 2 weeks worth for 37 about free postage and I got another offer on the starter week for 29 as I put a code in TRYME . and another offer of samples for a tenner .... so should be deliveries coming this week
Char , hows it going ? god read you can fit into the rides that's great , its always a worry if your gonna fit in as I know .
still need to master the fact of being 100%
so your coming on for week 6 soon , blimey that's amazing . its a way of life now until you reach where you want to be .
yes I can guess it can be hard at times , its getting over them times ....
you have many followers lurking you so keep us all going :)
