Cambridge Diet part II

Duncan0808

LML - Totally get that bouncing stone thing.
I think I have a summer weight and a winter one, I seem to fluctuate by around 2stone. Really need to get to target and go through the maintenance phases so that I can keep it off and not binge.

Steak isn't so bad, if you plan for your night out and just have the steak, maybe some green salad and veg, no spuds though.
Alcohols a no no really, weight wise and resolve wise.
Its also quite dangerous to drink on a VLCD, so to have a drink you need to eat first. Then once you have had a drink all your good intentions go out of the window...........

I do really suffer from cravings, part of my problem is that I eat because I like the taste, and I don't know when to stop. Rarely do I eat out of hunger.
As you so rightly say, it will still be there at the end of the journey, you are only postponing the treat, not denying it forever!

Sexy - TOTM will likely have an affect, keep drinking the water though - gallons of it. It should help a little if you keep yourself flushed out!

Evening everyone ...

Duncan im with you completly! ... Im the same i eat because i just want to ... because i fancy, because other people are eating, NOT because im hungry! Im a constant grazer so at the moment i am very surprised at myself by not caving, although saying that if i have really really fancied somthing then i have had a weighed peice of chicken or a peice of fish BUT ive only done this three times.


OOOO LML how exciting ! 11 days and thats over another week in ...i wish my OH would ask me to marry him i think hes phobic! haha ...
hohum maybe one day ..
Sexy .. i agree TOTM is a complete pain as regards to holiding onto your weight ... as Duncan says keep drinking ! ...

Morning All.:j
Day 2/126,
(Have used my chart to work out how many days ish, it could take me to reach 4 stone) Psycologically I thought it might be better to see the gap shortening rather than counting up!!!!
It would, sorry WILL BE fabulous to get to day 125;)

Had my Cholocate Tetra this morning and bought myself a load of litre bottles of water from Costco last night - always find it easier to keep track of when I drink it out of the bottles. Not very good at taking the water.

Piratess - I think we need to set targets, but be realistic aswell, it is a big shock to the system if you lose 4 - 5 stone in such a short time. I am planning on 4 as my big target. Then going up the plans, I have never managed the maintenance phase, and thats the reason it all piles back on.
By going up the plans at 4, I should still lose some more lbs and will then re-evaluate if I want to drop any more one I have settled.

Just got to get there!!!! With everyones help on here I know I stand a much better chance than if I do it alone.

Have a Happy CD day everyone.:T

Afternoon ...

Im starting to hate the negativity ! .. I wish id never have told people im doing CD All they say is
Oooo diets like that you put all the weight back on again i know so and so and they lost it and then put it all on blah blah!
It sucks! ...

anyway, finished work waitin on delivery of my yummy yum tetras woohoo im excited to have a change ...

Duncan0808

But the postive side of that is you have to work doubly hard to prove them all wrong!!!!

Any diet will do the same if you go back to your old way of eating.

I find a lot of people give you strange looks, and think its all a bit extreme. Different things work for different people and if this works for you then its all good.

Lets prove them all wrong, get to target, work through maintenance and we will all have lovely bikini bodies by summertime!!
