hey busybee, well done on 11lbs that's fantastic !! glad you are keeping focused, good luck for another great week!!

Nice one Gem! another 3lbs well done you, you are so consistently fab!

Hi pretika, I have had the same fears when i started moving up the plans from SS, I really think taking the CD steps to the end are the most important part of doing cambridge, I am on the 1000 plan now and reintroducing food again, making the recipes as suggested and so far I haven't put any on, not sure about loss yet as the scales are fluctuating a bit but I am now lookng into the cause of my overeating which got me to where i was in the first place and which still rears it's ugly head not always to the point of going through with it but the thoughts are still there, so i've ordered some books from Amazon and look forward to understanding and learning some new behaviours to help me stay slim and healthy without worrying about food (that's the idea anyway!) . I know moving on from SS does feel scary but if you follow the steps properly if feels more of a conventional way and you will do great! plus it means you can make food for your other half to enjoy too!! Don't give up hunny, we can do this together!

[Busybee]

thank you, I am feeling pleased if a little cold today

 

[Pretika]

Hi Leey - Thanks !! I wont give up on CD - but I think that I will move up to 810/ 1000 plan - I think that I am getting myself "overly" upset when I "cheat" which is what happened on Saturday - and it felt like the scales were laughing at me telling me how bad I was.. But honestly I only had a 810 meal..

I have come too far to give up... so will keep going - but on a higher plan.. the 1000 plan seems to appeal at the moment as I am craving fruit and I have a few nights planned with meals... I am just really scared that I will put weight back on.....

 

[Pretika]

Lelly - I have read a few books

Paul Mackenna - I can make you thin - very good

Get off your ass and lose weight - Life ***** - is good, gives you a kick up the backside

Skinny ***** - Is ok - but a little too extreame.

What books have you bought:?

 

[LellyCD]

Today I have ordered these -

Eating Less: Say Goodbye to Overeating
Gillian Riley

How to Stop Smoking and Stay Stopped for Good
Gillian Riley

When You Eat at the Refrigerator pull up a chair
Geneen Roth

I've been reading through the emotional eating thread and it's been a fascinating read, I highly recommend read through it as we are in the same place at the moment, coming to the end of the diet but worrying about the future, there are some really great posts from people who have been successful in doing CD and maintaining afterwards, which is now my goal. I want to be one of them! oh...and I want to stop smoking too gave up when i got pregnant nearly 10 yrs ago and have in the last year starting up again and am now a regular smoker again, also worried that I am replacing food with smoking !! still so much to be done!!!

Will start with these books for now.

[trisha]

hi Lelly I was doing ss+, but kept picking, so for the last couple of days I'm ss just to get back into cd had have a kick start, and then I'll be moving up the plans

 

[alexmummy07]

just 1lb off for me this week bit disappointing, and thinking may have set my goal too high, but will keep on going x

 

[LellyCD]

Good luck with gettingback on track trisha, i felt the need before xmas to revert back to 810 after a few nights and that helped me get back on track too, til xmas and illness happened, onlt just moved up to 1000 now and hoping it'll be good WI this week!

hey alexmummy, don't be downhearted at 1lb a loss is loss etc...plus you had a grea loss in your 1st week and sometimes your body needs time to catch up, bet you'll have a good one next week! keep going you are doing really well!

xx

 

[Berryred]

3lb off for me this week

 

[LellyCD]

yay well done Emma!! got your 1st stone too, you're doing fab! Good luck for another great one!!

[Pretika]

Morning All - I hope that you are all well. WI tonight, not sure how I have done - it has been a strange week. I will move up to 810/1000 from Tomorrow. but need to have a good chat with my consellor, I seem to have a mental block with food and moving off SS is terifying. Not sure what has happened in the last few days - But it is def time to move on to another week... Have a great day
