Hi there,

I'm in the third week of the diet. I lost 9lb in the first week and 4lb in the second week. I love this diet and this forum! :-)

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now! :-)

Hello everyone, I have nearly completed my 1st week on ss - although today I did have 200kcal of chicken, found it really difficult with my partner and son eating sunday roast. Think I have lost about 8 pounds but will find out tomorrow - wish me luck. xx

[Jodyray]

hello! i started yesterday, its my first attempt at CD, has anyone got any tips to keep me motivated as i am so desperate now to lose weight being the heaviest i have ever been and find it so difficult with the temptation already. i have 2 young children and am a single mum so i still have 'treats' in the house and no one at home to really encourage me :-(

hi jody,
i understand how hard it might be with young kids and being a single mum. but make sure u keep coming here and read peoples, posts and generally how they deal with cravings etc. ohh and keep posting and u will see peoples pictures ,,,very inspiring. u do need about 50 posts to see pics.

this is also my 1st time trying CD.
Have tried herbalife and lost 2 stone, but took AGES! also woman on phone was really rude!
Now have a lovely counsellor and renewed motivation.
I am also a single mum of one 6 yr old boy who loves ice cream, jaffa cakes, chocolate and potatoes etc etc. Murder! lets keep each other avoiding the food.
I have never drunk so much water. May have to invest in lots more loo roll!!!!

[Jodyray]

ok day 4 and today i feel much more positive, i am struggling to drink so much water though and yes the loo is becoming my best friend haha!! Anyway thanks everyone and i will be on here every night to keep me away from the Quavers!!!

Hi everyone, just thought I'd pop in and say Hello . This is the second time I've done Cambridge. I lost 5 Stone last time. It's been a year and I've put on a stone in that time (most of which has been in the last month). I'd like to lose that weight again and another stone so tomorrow I'm heading off to see my CDC. I'm keen to get cracking, can't wait.

I don't think I could've done it without the people on line at minimins. Everyone really kept me going!

So as of tonight (I've already had my 'last supper') I'm back on the straight and narrow. Starting with a clean slate, new ticker and new target!

Hi I am on day six need to loose 42lb am doing ss second time around

[Soon_2_B_Slim]

Good evening fellow CD's xx

I started CD SS on Tuesday. Today being my second full day, nothing has passed my lips, apart from CD Chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. Been drinking 3 litres of water both days + black tea and coffee with sweetex.
My fella is supposed to be on it too, but has fallen off the SS programme so many times I have lost faith. The reason I am doing it is to see if it as hard as he makes out. I weigh 15st 6lb and used to be 10st 4lb at my smallest. At my heaviest I was 16st+++. At present I am a size 16-18 depending on shop sizes.
Fella is 35 stone + and cannot seem to break out of the cycle of eating s*** food. No matter what I cook, he seems to be able t fatten it up by adding mayo/cheese/pudding. Hes been to doctor who said they would write to care trust to see if they can get funding for a gastric band. At moment, fella is sat here eating 4 boiled eggs with black pepper, olive oil and cheese mixed in as he says this will not take him out of ketosis. Will he be in ketosis if he has only done it for 2 days?
Im feeling quite well even though I am a very instinctive person who gets headaches etc when hungry. Im shocked I have lasted this long really. Doing it for 1 week then gonna add a meal.

I have failed on slimming world, as didnt want to carry on the boring/"clap at everyone even if they've put on" classes. Tried on my own by postal membership but just couldnt keep on track. Gosh I sound like a right one today!! LOL.

Anyone any tips? Read on the new site of CD that you can add a meal in your 1st week (called SS+) what meals do you add? is it the green and white foods?
