Thread: New to cambridge

Hi all

I've been reading through so many threads and it is wonderful to see how supportive everyone is.

I am on day 2 of sole source having never done Cambridge before.

Day 1 was fine altho v tired in the evening.
Day 2 ....I have felt like I've had a hangover all day, slightly sick, headache...I'm hoping it gets easier/ better!?

Did anyone else feel like this?

Also how does everyone else cope going round to friends houses for dinner and you have your soup/shake?

Lucy

Hey Lucy, well done on starting it which is pretty tough! The first few days are the toughest, but as soon you go into ketosis the ride gets easier.

Can't advise on how to deal with friends' dinner parties. I myself have just banished myself 90% of social life till I reach a certain target. I've stocked up on books and tv boxsets to compensate (not as fun, but definitely great distractions!)

I keep saying to myself it's going to get easier, but I have had a massive headache for the last 2 days and its driving me mad! I'm drinking loads but to no avail.

Have you taken any paracetamol ? Stick with it as the results in weight lose are worth it x

Hi yeh taken paracetamol but its just not working. I'm not hungry at all but this constant headache is driving me to distraction.

Hello there

BY day 5 you will feel so much better and by day 7 you will probably feel fantastic.

If you join NetFlix (£5 a month) you can watch loads of films and Box sets that will help keep you occupied during the evenings especially as the weather is so poor. Also have you tried the Arcade Games on here? I love Scrabble Blast ... last night I spent two hours on it whilst listening to music - certainly helped with the cravings.

Stick with it. It will only be a matter of weeks before you're at goal and loving feeling so slim.

Good luck x x

Hey thanks for all of your help, had lots of water, haven't caved and the head ache has finally subsided.

Even better I've just got back from a friends house who bakes the most amazing carrot cake and I said no!! I've never had the will power before.

Thank you Cambridge!

Thank you Cambridge!

Well done for the will power! I think on e you decide to stick to the plan it's all or nothing and your certainly go inch it your all. You will be so chuffed with the results

Hi Lucy,

Well Done, I was the same had an awful headache but took sutff and it sorted it!

Im on Day 5 feeling great sticking with the shakes and soups, have to say the Mango Shake is Disgusting!

I have my weigh in on wednesday an im hoping ive lost at least 5lbs, the minute u start a det something comes up, lunch out or a firneds dinner, but Ive made my excuses not to go and instead stuck to my shakes...yummy!ha!

I found a good tip was, putting your class into the freezer so the shake would be freezing cold found it easier to drink i must say

Any tips guys.

I hadn't tried the mango yet but thanks for the heads up.

I can't tell you how pleased I am to have gotten rid of the headache, I feel so much better. Day 5 tomorrow, weigh in on Wednesday , just really want to see something motivational on the scales.

Just to put some stats on here: I'm 5'4 and starting weight was 12 st 6. Ideally I've got 3 stone to lose.

I'm off on holiday in may, 51 days away and it would be so great if I felt good in a bikini. Realistically I don't expect to be at goal by then and have to be really strict to step back into Cambridge when I get back.

I too have my weigh in on wednesday, im the same i hope i see a few pound dropped.

Im finding today quiet hard, i think its the shakes i dread having them!

I want to loose 3 stone by May also I know wishful thinking, i want to go on holidays and be comfortable with myself want to wear nice tops that im not covering my bingo wings!!

I find on Holidays i dont each much i tend to drink alot tho!

Hey how you feeling now? I'm feeling really good actually...not hungry or headachy. But am feeling quite guilty as had one or two occasions in my first week where I've had to break diet and have dinner with ppl. Altho I've had mega healthy dinner, no carbs, small portions, I'm still annoyed with myself and hoping it won't effect first weeks weight loss.

I think 3 stone is achievable if you stick to it completely as I've seen ladies on here have achieved that.

I think with holiday, just enjoy it altho maybe try having lots of water btw drinks.

I'm intending on being really good and coming straight back on Cambridge after holiday to finish weight loss.

Good luck with today's weigh ins... Let us know how you get on. X x

Hey all I lost 4lb at weigh in and 6.5 inches!!! Really pleased altho annoyed as I know I could have lost more if I hadn't have had those couple of cheat meals.

Next week will be better and the pee stick said I'm in ketosis!

Anyone else been weighed today??

Well Done lucy 4lbs is alot if you think of it- its 4 bags of sugar!

I also had my weigh in yesterday and lost 9lbs which i was delighted skipped out of the weight centre, I stuck to it all week though!And it was hard work as everyone on here knows!Im hoping 4lbs will be gone next week and thats my first stone!

I decided to change it up abit and went on 2 soups and 1 shake i just hate the shakes!

I told my Cambridge Consultant that I put Lemons chopped up into the water and she nearly killed me, thought it was a bit much because im still drinking the 4litres but now i find it easier and nicer to get it down?Is that bad?
