Has anyone done CD or LL and successfully maintained?

[Pinkjenny]

I'm not looking for a way out, I'm just wondering.

Can I also asked what happened when you started eating again? Did you go back to normal eating or start on a new diet plan?

Oh we are suffering hey PJ?

Notice the distinct lack of replies.

yes, it is a worry!

I was gonna start a thread asking if anyone does atkins these days or is it considered a big no. Staying in ketosis but eating could really work for me I think

hellooooo chaps, its me the diet deserter

just wanted to say that although I am not at target, I have maintained 2 of the 3 stone that I lost.

I maintained the whole lot until xmas when life went a bit wrong and things got on top of me - hence 3 month long binge and 1 stone back on. To be honest it wouldn't have mattered how i lost the waight initially, I still would have put it back on over this xmas

therefore: yes you can lose and then maintain on cambridge. I have done it!

There was 18 months between me coming off cambridge and ANY of the wieght going back on and I am no angel , just reasonably sensible, 1 takeaway a week, choclate a couple of times a week and sensible meals.

You can do it guys!

My DH is still going strong and I have just ordered him another weeks worth of packs.

oh, and when i say not at target when i came off cambridge I mean I wasnt at bmi 25, so not officially at target. I got to bmi 26 and was very happy with my body shape and dress size, so I stopped

HI ginger, was wondering how you are getting on?

Its sooooooo hard this CD malarky, just treated myself to a bottle of coke zero, naughty, naughty!

Are you still dieting?

hi yeah I am doing ww points and finding i dont want all of my points everyday. A week back on CD has really made me appreciate food and I am determined to carry on losing so I can get back to what I was before the stupid xmas/new year slip up.

I made pasta bake tonight and used only a quarter of the cheese it suggests, was still yummy and I had to split it into 4 portions instead of the usual 2. I had it with a massive salad and feel full

I am avoiding bread for as long as poss since thats somthing that normally makes me put on and I wnt to maintain those 12lbs from last week even if i dont lose anymore this week.

Good for you, all sounds positive, hope you manage to keep those 12lbs off, thats my worry, going through all this and then as soon as I eat a single thing it all goes back on!

Im going to try and do a full 4 weeks then decide whats next.

Never going to put this weight back on though, not doing this again
