    thanks 4 your support c&q :A gonna have my tea now a soup i think ...veg... reading this site and the other cd sites has kept me on the straight and narrow.i have to be honest and say its not a breeze for me which i think is all the years of abusing my body by feeding it junk.:eek: i low carbed for a week prior to doing cd and lost a bit was 16st 11 then when i was weighed by cdc i was 16st 4. i have a gr8 cdc and hopefully with her support and all yours im expecting gr8 things :T
  • It does get easier, you know!

    Cambridge has become a way of life for me with having so much weight to lose and being on it so long.

    The important thing is that it WORKS!!

    Hi Suzy,

    I am on day 5 of cambridge, this is the first time I have tried it. I have watched these forums and sites for ages before eventually getting the courage to call my local councillor.
    I can agree with everything you have said about hiding away and making excuses not to do things, thats been me for about the last 6 months as I am ashamed of how I have let myself go. however.... time for a change!
    I am still hungry .. doesnt help when your hubby wants a mcds or my little boy leaves his sweeties around the house mind you. I am pleased with myself though that I have i managed to stick the plan. And this morning I couldnt resist going on the scales and looks like I;ve already started losing weight, yipee!
    Are you doing Sole Source or SS Plus? I am on SS.
    Only thing I really am missing is chewing food, I dont know if you are allowed chewing gum???

    Keep up the good work everyone!! A little encouragement goes a long way!

And any other recipes would be gratefully appreciated.... I did try making choccy with the choccy orange but thought it was vile!!!!

  • The chewing gum doesn't affect me at all and have chewed it incessantly since Day 1

    For recipes go to www.cambridgedieters.com to the Forum then to Registered User Chat and the recipe thread is a sticky at the top of the thread
