Thread: day 1 today :) 3 stone to lose. any success stories?

well this is it! kicking off the new year with starting a day early! i go back to work on the 2nd so I am hoping I will be in ketosis by then. I work in a cafe so lots of temptation but all being well the dream of being slim will keep me from snacking which i will regret!!

I plan on losing 3 stone, does anyone have any success stories on a possible time frame for achieving this if i stick to it 100%?

It all varies from person to person unfortunately - I think the official Cambridge line is you can expect to lose a stone a month on average, but you will lost more in your first week (normally) than the following weeks. I seem to lose anywhere between 16-23lb in the first week, but I have a LOT to lose and I think I might be an exception rather than the norm! If only my weight loss continued at that rate *sigh*

thankyou! good luck with your journey!! you can do it!! i agree though, 16lb per week every week would be rather amazing haha xx

LOL a stone a week would be awesome My weight loss varies from 2 to 5lbs a week usually.

I'd love to lose a stone in a week lol. I started on Boxing Day at 16.11 I'm now on day 6 and was 16.3 this morning so I'm well chuffed. I think days 1-5 are the hardest and once you get through that you'll be fine. That said I was dreaming about spicy Doritos and cream cheese last night!!!! It was the extra light version but still WTF????

I'm gonna keep in touch with your thread, starting tomorrow, can't wait! X

I start Thursday! I wish I'd lose a stone a week. Would make it so much easier lol

Wouldn't it just.I'd be slim in 12 weeks.

WE CAN DO IT!! 2013 will be our year xx

Hi there, ive just finished day 2 and its getting a bit easier this evening, im still hungry though. I unfortunately have around 8 stone to lose, i have done the diet before and lost 5 stone in around 14 weeks........but just stopped and didnt come up the steps so put all the weight back on and more. Its so easy to give up when you feel more comfortable with yourself, just 1 day off here and there and before you know it boom, fat again lol. Im not giving up this time though, have a BMI of 42.3 and will not stop until i get to 24 Goodluck to you xxx

good luck lovely, you will do it for permanent this time! it will be so worth the hunger pains xx

Ahh thanks, im sooo looking forward to weigh in day, it gets addictive haha x

oh i know, i have to get on the scales at least once a day haha!

Sophie!!

i was looking through people's diary's and i found you!

Finally started my Cambridge, weigh in again on the 10th so 8 days to do the best i can, very excited for my first weigh in

you can see by my profile how my i weigh, its extremely high and soo much more than when we last saw each other but at least im finally doing something about it

how are you finding it so far? xxx

it's not that bad sweetpea! i wasn't far off that myself this time last year! my heaviest was 14.10 & plus you have had a kiddy! i have no excuse! i have had to go back on weight watchers as my 3 days on cambridge has already flared up my health problems GUTTED as i wanted a quick fix, but no pain no gain i guess! you can do it though!! xxx
