Thanks Sparty - worked hard for it - but had had sts and a +2lb gain - the weeks before
you and me both!!
Hi 13july2013 (assuming that's your wedding date), it sounds like you have had a horrendous time - losing your mum at such a young age is tragic. I'm not familiar with the Cambridge diet but think it might be meal replacements?
Ah I was right - personally I couldn't stick to such a strict ard eating regime - but i did start my calorie counting diet by using a SlimFast shake for breakfast (as I really struggle to eat first thing in the morning). How does Cambridge work? one meal a day?around 500kcal, its a meal replacement diet. sounds drastic, it is

its 3-4 shakes a day and you can have a meal in the evening but i dont. You have to have 3litre min of water. im on day 5 and lost 12lb so far. You go into ketosis which burns fat as energy. I "think" Scotland uses it instead of weight loss surgery as its quicker, safer and faster results. And obv cheaper. lol. i pay £42 a week but thats all my "food" for aweek x

doesnt cambridge diet have something like a re-feed programme to help u maintain ur weightloss?
does that not show you how to eat healthily?
hello anyway everybody hope everyone doing ok! am in a bit of a better place at the moment i rejoined SW on tues with a +7lb but, im ok with that.
i have come to re-relise that i want to be healthy, not skinny, my body needs good healthy food to function, not minimal calories, and i am the only one to control what goes into my mouth and my body!
i have reset my target for 9st 13lb, totally healthy and totally realistic!
i know that only sleeping every other night makes it harder to loose weight as it is completely messing with my metabolism (Doc told me that) so i have come to accept that, i hae to do what i can and not use that as an excuse to binge! i have my meal planning etc all sorted so i have meals in the freezer/fridge ready for when i have been working and im tired.

so good to see you back and feeling better. I know you can do this hun. Just take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm back on it this week (day three today) and going well so far.

yes it does
Are you struggling because its not actual food? Maybe you should eat the meal a day you are allowed if it is?

LoolaHoop - sounds like you are in a positive place and certainly have thought things thru - sure you will succeed, good luck
13juy2013 - I am addicted to food too - I have eaten until I literally cannot breathe - and I am talking crap food I used to eat about 6 packs of salt & vinegar crisps and would feel hungover the following day but woulnd't stop me from opening another packet asap. Since I stopped it all about 6 weeks ago I have felt so much better and no longer crave it - in fact I said to my (very healthy) little sister today - "I know I'm telling you how to suck eggs but once you start eating healthy food you suddenly appreciate how delicious food is and how good it makes you feel and look". Have you bought your wedding dress yet? if so, picture that every time you struggle and come on here and we will all help you in every way we can x

If you gain after a particular diet to the tune of 8
Stone it's safe to say its not working. Diet Iain the head. Those who say they eat healthy and do t lose are either the 1% who have health issues or they are lying to themselves. Do you still go out on a Weekend. Do you have nights off? Reduce calories below energy out put and you
Will lose weight unless your on steroids or other meds or have thyroid etc probs. be true to
Yourself and get on with it. If your being true to healthy eating then go to dr and get bloods done. But if as I suspect you are eating things you shouldn't take it on the chin and try to solve the demon within
I'm maintaining at 10.5 still btw
