Well it might be that I lost 10 stone over 7 years. Each chunk of weight 3 stone or 4 stone I vowed never to go over that again, even if I only maintained for a while until I got back into the zone. Now that I am a happy weight I have my ceiling weight. For me it is 10st 10lb as 10 pounds is...

I always love that my dad raised me on 'he who laughs last, laughs longest'. So for all the people who hated on me when I did cambridge last year even those who were overweight saying 'well I would rather do something healthy like SW or WW' with the connotation that what I was doing wasn't...

Hello, restarting today. Lost 3 stone with Cambridge last year and got to first goal. Have pretty much maintained bar a couple of pounds. Wanted to lower target by a stone as BMI is 26 but consultant was not keen. Have tried faffing around with other diets to try and loose it on my own but...

Hi poppy, I lost over 140 lbs. I remember feeling like I would never do it so I only ever thought about losing weight in groups of 3 stone. The weight may have gone now but the battle with food is still there. It's an effort everyday. Gotta correct the damages from Christmas to keep in control...

It's def worth starting if you can be good up until Xmas eve.if you're anything like me I put on weight v quickly (I binge). So I would rather drop 5-10lbs in the 2 weeks before Xmas than stay the same and pile 10lbs on a heavier weight. Make sensible choices when eating out protein and veg and...

Any way I can help id be happy to. I can only give the shitty advice of perseverance. Just keep going no matter what. I have found it so hard at times over the years but what I loved about Cambridge was that it was guaranteed to work. The only way it wouldn't is if I didn't do it properly. I...

You're welcome to contact me if you need any support. I am 29 with 2 kids and at my heaviest was 20stone I am almost at the end of my journey but I can spur you on and help show you it's totally worth it if you want.

I think it's the best diet I've ever been on. I have lost 10stone over 7 years and Cambridge was the easiest and quickest. I am an addict. I love food. I obsess about it, I binge stuff and fill my face with it. Cambridge was recovery for me. I didn't have to think about what to eat or plan and...

Thank you. I really never thought I would ever do it having wanted to be a healthy weight and a size 10 for 12 years of battling my weight. It can be done. :)

Thank you. I'm so grateful of other people's photos that I felt I should return the gesture. It really is achievable and totally worth it!

I got to 10.7 at around May time (3 stone in 3 months on Cambridge) and have maintained/dropped another 7lb since then. I kinda follow slimming world principles, as much as I love cambridge and it really worked for me I also lost 4 stone with SW taking me from 18 to 14 stone a few years back...

So here's my journey. 7 years and 10 stone lost later... The Cambridge part... From 13.st 8lb at the start of Cambridge to 10 stone. Feb 2013 - July 2013 Back view. The bit before.... Total Weight lost from 19 stone 11lb to 10 stone....I wish I had done it sooner! Keep it...

Balsamic is ok. Well I use it. I also have mayo just a dollop. It's not officially Cambridge but its Atkins so must be low carb. Carbs are the enemy!!

Welcome. I've lost 3.5 stone with Cambridge and 10 stone overall. It's def my favourite diet! Back on SS this week to do my last stone. Good luck with it. It's totally worth everything!

It will last no more that about 5 days. Your body will scream for carbs...it's a sad and painful detox but then it will look elsewhere. I am lucky my bad day was 3 days and then I swear no more hunger from then on. Just brain cravings! I am on week 12 and have lost 2st 9lb. It works but def...

Week 11 was a 6lb loss!! Can't believe it. Weighed in at 10st 13 on consultants scales. (10.12 at home) I haven't seen the 10s since I was 11yrs old. Feel so good and I was 100% perfect! It def works when you follow the plan.

Week 10 was a lb gain :( first time. Feel like I am just messing around. I was due on and hadn't been to the toilet but I know small pickers=big knickers and that's what it was. My picking meant I didn't loose so I am disappointed with myself.

Week 9 weigh in was a 4lb loss! Can't believe it. Full week of step 2! Felt healthy and regular and in control by eating sensible healthy meals. Even went to strada and had a salad. Feels good when I am doing it all properly. Hope to see the 10s this week...totally surreal.

Week 8 was only a lb loss. Feel a bit disappointed like I'm messing around but it was Easter weekend and I did pick. This week has been better and I have committed more fully to step 2 as I have been apprehensive about the extra food and not losing but I can't SS any more as too hungry. I am...

Week 7 weigh in and a 2lb loss which put me at exactly 2stone lost 13.8 to 11.8 Happy with that but this week was my first bad week. Really struggled and although I didn't binge or go crazy I tasted lots of things this week. A small bite of a biscuit, a corner of a bit of chocolate, a finger...

Welcome back :) wondered where you had gone. Yes it's a good feeling but still a way to go. I thought I would look slimmer at 11.7 :( hmmm makes me realise how big I was and how long I was in denial. Good luck for your first week. I look forward to seeing your results. Xxxx

The Cambridge diet water flavourings have aspartame in so in small doses it must be ok.

For me I needed an abstinence form of recovery from food addiction. I can't have some I have to have all and eat to excess. SS removes the choice for me and I can't argue with myself that I will work something off or not eat badly for rest of month. It's 3 products for me and nothing else. In a...

I would recommend naked in the morning after a wee. I get a pretty accurate and consistent weigh in that way.

Weigh in of week 6 this week and I lost 3lb Weight has gone from 13.8 to 11.10 in 6 weeks! Still focused and determined to do this. It will be the last diet I ever have to do! Hope everyone else is doing well. It is so supportive and motivating to be able to come on here. Step 2 for me...

Well this diet is def helping with my food addiction. That's what I really needed the help with. Getting back in control and I feel in control now. My life was always about food before and was what I got excited about. Now that's gone I have had to find other things and those things don't give...

Yeah you're right thank you. Think I am on for a 3lb loss this week. Have SS+ for a couple of days as I am very close to being BMI 25 plus a stone and am feeling hungry. 5lb in 2 weeks is still pretty good. I want to see the 10s by the time I go back to work after the Easter holidays. Wow...

Well done for doing something about it. The key is perseverance. keep at it...forever and it will go. I have been 18 stone (actually i have been 21 stone) and over the years I have slimmed to 11.10 which is what I am now on CWP. It needn't take years but for me I lost some and felt happier...

Don't feel that great for having only lost 2lb this week. Hoping it's because it's TOTM and that maybe I will be compensated with a big one this week. I was aiming to be 11.7 by the end of the half term and if I can lose 3lb in 10 days then I would have done it. Feeling very happy at the...

Thank you. :) yes I must update

Hi I am in week 5 and have gone from 13.8 to 11.11 Feels so good but yes I am missing food. Just had to make Red Nose Day cakes for the kids and I did have a couple of licks of frosting. It scared me actually as I make me feel I wanted to eat the whole tub so have come on here to get away whilst...

Well it's that time of the week when I see my scales at home move. I was 11.11 this morning after seeing 11.12 for a few days. Hope to see 11.10 by the end of the week. Weigh in is Saturday and would like a 3lb loss. I am finding it harder and harder to resist food. I am doing it but I am...

You have to ignore the negativity. This diet works and I am in week 5 now and have lost 24 lbs. There is now way you won't lose weight if you stick to it. You're not starving yourself you are changing your body owner from burning carbs and food to finding another food source (fat stores). I have...

Don't give up. The days will pass and you will regret not sticking to it. We all have to learn that one 'naughty' thing doesn't mean blowing it. Just move on and cont eating well. Either Ss now or in the future general healthy eating. You can do this!

Thank you. Bought new jeans today in a size 14!! I am pear shaped and heavy on bum and thighs so happy that I'm in a 14. Ok so they wrinkle on the backs of my thighs, are very tight and are grey so totally unforgiving colour but I am in them and they do up! Ha will be nice to see them get...

The water flavourings have aspartame in them so it can't be that to knock you out of ketosis. It's the citric acid I'm guessing in soft drinks. Maybe CWP don't allow them as this diet teaches healthy eating and cokes aren't healthy really ESP the caffeine. Week 1 -9 1/4 lb Week 2 -4 3/4 lb...

Thank you Lily. Well I weighed in at home this morning at 11.13 so yay I saw the 11s I weighed in at CWPC at 12.0 which is 4lbs loss for this week making it a total of 21lbs exactly in 4 weeks. So happy. My personal goal for this month is to have seen the 10s by 9th April. If only 10.13! Ha...

Hey pudge, I'm ok. Plodding along. Still doing it all ok but 4 weeks on my enthusiasm has waned. I like its taken the excitement and obsession of food away but it is a bit of a bore. Just 8 weeks to go tho! I am so impatient. This is quick and still I want it faster. No cheats tho. A couple of...

Had a really hard day yesterday. I am blaming the cold. Feel really groggy and don't think I am gonna go to work tomorrow. Had my 3 products and then 100g tofu about 7pm. But I just wanted more and more altho I resisted. Plus I weigh every day and I know weight fluctuates but I was up a lb :(...

Thanks all Really struggling today : day 19 Feel brain hungry and rather than have a full SS+ meal I am going to have a little tofu and see if it takes the edge off. Had it in the fridge for ages in case I got desperate so going to have a slice. Really want to stay focused though as its only...

No dreams about food yet ha ha but everything smells so much more amazing now tho I feel. OH had salad and falafel pittas for dinner and I was swooning for them like they were chocolate cake ha ha! Def going to get 7 bars next week. It really is something to look forward to. Scales are showing...

Yeah I feel really good. Although getting a cold so worried I will want to eat more. Plus really can't get my head back into work. Don't know if its the weather, the diet, or lack of food but I am just diet obsessed and think about it all the time! Hope you had a good day pudge :) Week 1 -9...

Any support I can give you are welcome to. It's only for a short period of time. That time will pass whether you do it or not.

Good thanks. First day back at work after half term and another 100% day. Don't even bother thinking about food. It's too hard otherwise. It's as if it doesn't exist anymore. Diet is my no.1 priority tho at the mo, work is totally taking a back seat. Shouldn't say that really but I have to...

Yeah you will be. Your body will scream out for food for 3-4 days. It's telling you it needs fuel. At the moment it does. But if you can hang in there until about day 4-5 your body will go elsewhere for food/fuel. Your fat stores! Then you will be in ketosis burning fat as fuel rather than...

I always drank herbal tea anyway so haven't had to get used to it. I started on 9th Feb at 13.8 and today 25th Feb I was 12.5 :) It's so good. It has totally removed food as the most important thing in my life. Week 1 -9 1/4 lb Week 2 -4 3/4 lb Sent from my iPad using MiniMins.com mobile app

I was told by my CWPC not to have fruit tea because the citric acid can bring you out of ketosis so for now I am sticking to leaf tea only (no flower or fruit). The water flavourings help me put over 3 litres of water away per day and with sparkling water they taste like fizzy drinks, plus the...

Plenty of tea, I like peppermint and green. The first week is so hard anyway! Make it to day 5 and you will be fine. Honestly, the hunger disappears!

Maybe from the hunger but nothing comes in between me and sleep so can't say I have experienced that.

Or even tastes!

I think the tomato soup tasks like it has bits of cheese in it. :-/ weird

Woo 12.5 today...I am in the lower 12s :) maybe I will see the 11s by the end of this week. Weigh in sat again at 12pm. I would like to weigh in with CWPC in the 11s within a fortnight :) Yes Abby the bars are a meal replacement too. You can't have them until you have been on the diet for 2...

Hey Abby, yeah there is def a change in my body. I have a small top half anyway but now I have a totally flat stomach, my ribs stick out and my hips there is nothing in between. Of course it's my bum hips and things I want to go but they will in time. I have wanted to do a SS+ meal so many...

Good luck Allie. I have been 20st and each time I get to a new stone bracket I drop the target further. Perseverance is the key and you have to give it all up forever. No binges, no blowout days, always sensible and in control. Like an alcoholic would with booze and a smoker with ciggies. The...

Oh and as I am allowed bars now I has a peanut bar for lunch Pretty yummy. Had it with a large chai and it filed me up. Ate it so slowly tho. Nibbled and really enjoyed every bite. I defo recommend the bars.

Well done on your loss. We have started about the same weight. Can't wait to get to 11.7 then I can move to step 2. Was able to have a bar today which was really good to chew something and it tasted pretty amazing too :) xx

Yeah half term is so testing. I don't mind prepping the kids food etc but half term would normally mean treat food for me too. Feel ok though ATM. OH is a total life saver tho and so supportive. Kept asking if I was ok during the meal and did seem guilty. It's not forever. By the summer hols it...

Have fun! Fingers crossed for the 15s tomorrow for you. I wanna stay super focused until my next stone bracket. Then I think I will treat myself with some asparagus and tofu Rock and roll!

App is called big day lite and I have chosen a pic of tofu salad as my background! 73 days left for me max on ss. Today shows me that I can't use food as an emotional crutch either. Feeling moody would have been a great excuse for a blowout. X

Welcome Emma. Good luck with the plan. It's my 2nd week and results are great already. :)

Defo agree. As long as I do 3-4lb a week that's a stone a month. Feels like forever already but it's only 12 days for me. I know once June is here it will all be over and would feel like it was so quick. Ibiza 19th June :)) I hope I have done 4lb this week for my 2nd week and I will be happy. Xx

Sitting in town watching my family eat subway...that's why I am on here!! It will be worth it. Just bought a pair of mint green h&m jeans that I want to be in before the peak of summer. Size 14 I'm a real 18 now but I think their 14 may be a 12 :-/ x

At 21 I was at my heaviest after just having my daughter...about 20st. I wish I had done cambridge then. Spent so many years trying to slim and now it's going to be over in 12 weeks. I'm determined of that.

Smelling food really helps me. And my 'treat is' when I make my shake into a paste to ensure it is smooth with just a bit of water I always lick a bit off my finger like its cake mix The hit of sweetness helps and feels indulgent. Then I pour in rest of water and drink up! Small things ha

Me too love Big Bang :) Yeah I have weird thoughts. Like if being slim is the only 'wrong thing' in my life I don't have. If I get slim with something worse happen, to my face, or to my kids or home :-/ horrible thought. Have you read Willpower by Tierney and Baumeister? You prob have lots of...

I look forward to supporting you through this. If you wouldn't mind doing the same. I don't ever want to binge again it has ruined my life in terms of appearance and food. Love hate relationship. BMI is 30.5 so still just obese but hopefully next week I will only be overweight!! Yay! Ha xx

Day 6: Bfast: toffee shake Lunch: Leek and Potato soup Dinner: choc mint shake So today at work a group of people on our training day ordered 5 dominos pizzas to share. Fortunately I wasn't in the groups that ordered so technically I couldn't have any but the smell was divine and I worried I...

Hello, I am in my first week and it's been great. Overcoming hunger binging and feeling full on so little.

Yeah i am the same. Sometimes I get a rumble but not actually hungry. Weird. I just take another swig of drink!

Day 5: Bfast: fruits of forest shake Lunch: tomato soup Dinner: choc orange shake Feel ok again today although totally addicted to this site which helps so much....although little work gets done :-( Only thing is as I am veggie normally the smell of meat is not pleasant however I think...

Thank you so much. Yeah I hope I can offer mutual support. I really believe I have an addiction as strong as smoking or drugs as I know what's good and bad for me but powerless to stop myself. So I am on CDP for abstinence. Cold turkey. Like other addicts have to. Xx

Day 4: Day 4: Bfast: Porridge Maple and Pecan Lunch: Veggie Soup Dinner: Butterscotch Shake All ok, feel fine. I do want to eat but I can't say I am hungry. No rumbles or anything, just a desire to eat stuff. I am finding that I take ages to drink a shake or soup not because it is not...

Day 2: Woke up today feeling ok but then still had real food in me. Went to cinema with kids and they had popcorn and sweets and I had water. Breakfast was maple porridge which was ok but still tastes 'diety' I made up a toffee and walnut shake in the car as they had their lunches. Sat with...

Well done! Yes I managed to resist too...prob just week 1 keenness. But I wasn't even tempted to lick a spoon or pinch a marshmallow that my kids had on top! Hope it stays that way! :)

Hey, I would love a diet bud. Someone to keep tabs and that I could help support too. I started on Sat 9th Feb Have 3 stone to lose. Have lost 7 stone over 7 years but just want to be properly slim now!

That's great to hear. Just for variety! Thank you

What about the citric acid? Hi, my consultant said I can't have anything with citric acid so no lemon/raspberry/strawberry/mango tea etc Only nettle, peppermint and green (as well as black teas). Now I don't know what is right and I love fruit tea.

Hi Zara, I started on Sat 9th Feb so today is day 3! 3stone loss is first target! This morning was awful...I had the shakes. I too hope all the great support on here can help me too!
