Cambridge Diet

Cute_'n'_Quirky

As of yesterday went back onto 790 (without the milk allowance) or really 810 without the milk allowance.

I just cannot do SS in this freezing cold weather. Winter has come !

99 days to Christmas!

The Christmas parties beckon and so do the sassy skimpy dresses

We CAN do this!

Don't stray!!

The temptation after the first week's good losses are to cheat - then you will feel awful.

Keep yourself occupied, read a book, have a bath, etc.

After a couple of weeks the Cambridge diet becomes a way of life and you will feel that you don't want to stray.

or you could find that doing SS+ with a small meal to look forward to every day would help?

Phew....... Have spent the last 2 days reading most of this thread.

Hello, My name is Nikki and I'm an overeater!

I stopped smoking in May 2007 and since then have managed to gain almost 4 stones. I have decided enough is enough and want to do the CD.

Can anyone help me with a few questions?

I have had a look on the CD site for a CDC in my area and 4 cover it. Is their a way of finding out how long each CDC has been in service and how successful the are? Having 4 to choose from it would be nice to go for the best.

Also I quite like a glass of wine of an evening and a coffee of a morning. When can you next have one of those once you start this diet?

Well done all who have lost so much:beer:

Nikki

Hello and Welcome!

The best thing to do re CDC's is to ring them all and see whom you gel with.

It isn't really a case of one being more successful than the other - you need someone you can get on with. Or you could go to the official Cambridge Forum www.cambridgedieters.com and ask on there if they can recommend a CDC in your own area. That usually works a treat

Coffee is allowed all the way through - without milk on SS or with milk on SS+ with milk or the 810 plan.

Alcohol is forbidden on all of the Cambridge plans - but isn't it worth the sacrifice to lose the weight?

Cambridge really is fabulous. I have lost almost 12 stones in just over a year with 24lbs to go to goal. It is well worth the effort.

What have you got to lose except weight? Do give it a go

I only did SS for the first 8 weeks.

I then went onto 790 as SS+ hadn't been invented until Feb this year

The losses are the same anyway.

I cannot SS in cold weather - that is my problem!
