    Hello and Happy New Year to everyone.

    I'm starting SS tomorrow with 4 as well. Good luck to everyone starting/restarting. The thing I'm dreading the most is drinking all that water! To be honest I'm so sick of overindulging with food I'm quite looking forward to it. Wonder how long that feeling will last:rolleyes: .

    Hope your first day back on has gone well cambridgethebest.

    I've just started again today after a 3 week break where I ate and drank everything in sight and managed to put on a stone although I'm hoping that a few pounds of that are water! I am already starting to feel better and am welcoming that empty feeling after feeling bloated for so long!

    When I started CD for the first time I lost a stone in the first week, does anyone know whether weight loss is likely to be similar this week after 3 weeks off or should I expect to lose less?

    I started on new years day and so am on day 4. Haven't cheated at all. I'm calling it my hundred day plan rather than getting too hung up on the weight loss. Day 100 is good friday I think I should be at maintenance around then. I will do my best. I reward each successful day with a sticker on the calendar and by knowing I'm another percentage point there. I'm holding my breath hoping that I will get through next week as I will be working nights again and find it hard to diet when so tired. I'm going to really try this time and my first night will be on day 7 so I hope this will help me.

    Good luck to everyone else that have started or restarted 2009.

    Hi All

    I am starting the Cambridge Diet this week for the first time - have arranged to see supplier tomorrow evening. If there is anyone else who is starting this week and would like a 'buddy' please let me know.
    I would prefer someone around my own age (51) as I do think it is more difficult to shift weight as you get older and so a younger person might not do my confidence much good!!
    I am female and have about 3 and half stones to lose.

    Hi

    I have just made an appointment to see a CDC can you tell me how much you pay each week when you are on sole source.

    Thanks

    It depends on your CDC around £35-£40 a week if you are on 3 packs a day.

    Hi Seantra - I am not 51 but my best friend is! I am 43 and have an appointment to see a counsellor on Wednesday night....all being well I will be starting on Thursday morning. I have about 2 to 3 stone to lose....

    I think 43 is close enough! I was hoping to collect mine tonight, but unfortunately it was not possible. The counsellor is coming to my house tomorrow night, so it looks like being a Weds kick off for me! Have you done the diet before?

    I take it your friend won't be doing the diet - is she one of those boring naturally slim people?
