Hi Tracey

Welcome to the forum,

Not long until you start your amazing weight loss journey. I am a CD Counsellor and i have lost a lot of weight in a short space of time.

Stick with it, first few days are tough but after that it gets easier and the weight loss is well worth the effort.

Hi Tracey

Mary how long has it taken you to lose all that weight? I'm going to do a search on the CD to find out if it would be right for me

Hi Cathy

I lost just over 2 stone on slimming world in a year and it was too slow for me. So in the last 5.5months i have lost 5 stone 7lbs.
Which is what the average weight loss is for CD, 1 stone a month.

If you would like more information here is the web site www.cambridge-health-plan.co.uk

Thanks Mary

I did'nt realise it was a meal replacement plan..you've had great results with it

Well Done.

Thank you Cathy, Thats why i became a counsellor for cambridge as i was so impressed with the results.

The diet is meal replacement, you can do different programs where you are eating food as well as having the packs.

Average weight loss on just the packs is 1 stone a month.

Well Mary i've been studying the Cambridge diet and you must have the willpower of a saint

especially if you did the Sole Source bit

I can't imagine having to prepare 'proper' meals for my hubby whilst i'm only having shakes

I just don't think that I could do it or anything like it

it must be a real incentive to carry on though when you see weight dropping off you like that

this is a bit personal

but did you have any problems with flabby bits or excess skin? you look like you were lucky and everything snapped back into place. I'd like to lose 3sts but i'm older and I don't want the flabby bits

well..nobody does do they?

Hey Slinky, How is cambrdge going? I have read that if you can get through the first 4 days that you should be able to stick to it... I have just bought a week of shakes but can't start until the 29th because I have family from the states visiting and felt the temptation would be to great to start whilst they are here...I am really exited!!! I have a ton to lose so I am hoping I have the will power to stick to it...

Melissa

Let us know how you get on

Giving up the booze would be a problem for me

I could do it Monday to Friday but come Friday night i'd have to have a tipple

I've got to decide whether to do W.W...Slimming World or Lindora again

I lost 30lbs in 3mths on W.W. but I WAS STARVING

I've never stuck with Slimming World long enough to give it a chance because I missed the bread ( I think

) but the week I did it..it definitely worked and now they've got the mix to match or whatever its called so I think it must be even better...and then there is Lindora which is high protein

decisions..decisions

they ALL WORK I just don't have the willpower to be bothered

MelissaA · 08-30-2005, 03:30 PM

Just finished day one...Tough but so far manageable...We will see what the next few days are like...Hopefully, my next message won't come from prison following a midnight burger robbery at McDonalds...LOL

Keep at it Melissa

I don't want to read the headline "BURGER BANDIT AT LARGE IN KENT"
