    Not sure if this helps, but you do get food bars after a few weeks on the Cambridge - my friends swears the one she has tastes *just* like the orange creams in Quality Street.

    I fear she may be delirious from lack of food, however....

  • Hi Guys

    How have u all been? well done on deciding not to do the expensive diet miss kj, in my opinion its a matter of self discipline rather than expensive shakes, altho i do agree it can work wonders but im not sure how long the effects would last:confused:

    Ive been a bit naughty over the weekend ssshhhh dont tell lucy

    Morning Guys!

    Well I've just read back over the last few pages (i've been really busy this weekend!) looks like everyone is doing really well.

    I also spotted the confession MM - I wasn't fabulous myself on Saturday night, 2 parties, 2 buffets and 1 glass of wine. But I guess is could have been worse!

    Welcome aboard Hellocarolina! You are not to late, there is still plenty of time!

    Right I've been really good (other than Saturday night!) and I've not weighed myself since Thursday (I'm a weigh everyday kinda girl!) and hopefully I'll be on for a loss on Thursday night, but we shall see.

    I intend to keep up the good work today although it could be difficult as it's been a tough morning. Woke up and no hot water! It was raining and cold!! What has happened!!! I want Summer!!!

    Have fun everyone x

  • Right, I'm off to buy some scales today - digital ones!

    Am I right in thinking that these will be more accurate? I've found with my current (squashed) scales, I weigh less if I stand towards the back of the foot pads!

    It also doesn't help that I'm quite short sighted, so as I weigh myself without my glasses (they weigh *a lot*) I can't see the numbers - when I crouch down to check, I get heavier!

  • We have digital scales, although there is a difference between the one at home and the ones my consultant uses.

    I go by his as they are calibrated.

    i would go for the digital ones, just make sure you only weigh yourself on these, as others tend to be out by a couple of lbs, so make sure you weigh yourself once a week, on the same digital scales.

    Lucy n snags, how did u spot my confession??? I thought no1 would notice:rotfl:Im determined to stick to it this week tho, only got 4 and a half days till weigh in aaaarrrrrghggghhhhh
