Hi Ladies...I am getting married next November and am almost 4 stone down thanks to Cambridge!! I went dress shopping a couple of weeks ago and decided I wanted to lose a little more before finding 'the one' so hoping to reach my goal weight by the end of the year. Don't be disheartened by your...

Well how are your losses Rosie? If it's not affecting your weight loss then I don't see a problem. X

Well I was on plan all of Christmas & New year but my CDC said I could have a treat if I wanted to but I didn't want to come out of ketosis ! I lost 5lbs over Christmas & new year but another girl who I talk to on here had Christmas off & lost like 10lbs the following week because it was like...

I think it was because I was eating sooo much rubbish before- like loads of carbs so the first weeks loss was mainly water weight! Ive moved up to Step 2 now so no need to take a break! I'm gonna stick with Step 2 for another month or two then work up the steps till I reach goal :D Although I...

Well done- that's so good!!! I'm losing an average of 10lbs a month at the mo- it seems to go 2lb one week, 3lb the next! Slower than I would've liked but i'm at a stage where I am just used to eating like this now so its effortless xx

Thank you! I finally have cheek bones !! lol I'm on step 2 at the moment after I moved up from SS+ last week. You would be surprised at how much it helps, I was going to the bathroom about once a week on SS and felt really bloated all the time then moved up to SS+...drizzled my chicken breast...

Hi Carrie, welcome! I am currently in Yorkshire- Leeds, Where abouts are you from? My OH keeps reminding me of my ketosis breath and I'm in week 12! Drinking water does help flush it through though. I would definitely recommend SS+ if you are having toilet troubles xx

Oh wow you look amazing- and your wedding dress is so gorgeous! I am getting married in 2015 so gives me hope that I can get to goal this year & maintain until the day :) xx

Yep they are Minnie and they are gorgeous :)

Thanks!!! :) you too xx

Good luck chick, I'll still be here then let me know how you get on!! Xx

You can do it!! 7 stone is achievable in 9 months..you lose on average a stone a month so its worth sticking to! After you get past the first week you will be fine :) xx

That is still sooo good!!! Don't get disheartened, just think if you were on any other diet you'd be losing like 0.5lb by week 7! Xx

Aw bless you, hope you feel better soon!! Xx

Hopefully it goes by my weigh in on Sunday else I will cry lol xx

I'm 13 8 so gone up 1lb this week?? Ugh xx

I feel like because I haven't had one for 6 months I've got 6 at once...ew! Sucks being a woman! Lol xx

I was on cerazette for three months before this one and had no bleeding...I've been on micronor for three months with no bleeding and I went to the doctors last night to get some more and she asked me about it and I said 'I'm really pleased actually that I've had no bleeding with this pill' THEN...

Nope I've never had it as the thought of it freaks me out. I was on Yasmin for like 5 years then my blood pressure was raised so they had to put me on something new (risk of blood clots) and since then I've been on three different pills and none of them agree with me! Having tests at the moment...

Hmmm but don't think I want randoms in my house all the time lol I would be rubbish anyway- I have no sympathy !! Someone would say 'I have found it so hard this week, I had some crisps & wine & a biscuit!' I'd be like 'what! Do you want this or not! Your pathetic! !' Lol xx

Ooh so exciting!! My cdc said that but I can't drive so I would be no good lol x

Hope you're okay?? X

I definitely need to lol woohoo !! I love how quick this diet is! To think only three and a half weeks ago I was in the 15's!! x

Yesssssssssss!!! Gonna be a big loss for you this week then !!! & in the 12's !! :bliss: I was 13 8 this morning so only 1lb off last sundays weigh in hmmmmmmm x

I'm an accounts assistant for a surveying company- boring ! lol xx

lol niiiiiice! New subject- What do you do for a living? xx

Yeah I'm definitely going to ask for some on Sunday then as I am sooo bloated! x

Yeah I will do! No she has never offered it to me...what do you have to do with it?? haha xx

Been drinking loads of water but not doing much of the second thing lol bought some laxatives last weekend but they haven't kicked in yet hmmm nice!! lol I'm getting my hair done tonight and seeing my hairdresser for the first time in 6 weeks so I hope she notices!! :) x

I know I love it lol I've told most of my family about it so I'm hoping I get a few gifts from there haha I'm going to order some more lemon bars this weekend as apparently you can have two of those a day?? Soooo looking forward to my months weigh-in on Sunday- it has gone sooo fast...

I've found a website called www.firebox.com and I literally want everything lol bought my OH a couple of food gifts and my step dad a puzzle of his postcode!!! Ha it keeps me entertained for hours ! X

Oh how exciting!!!! I can't wait to be in the 12's!!:D Yeah I always weigh loads more in the evening which is annoying because that's when she normally comes every fortnight so i'm tracking my weight loss through my morning weigh-in on my scales every week!! :) Work is slowwww so I'm doing some...

I know it needs to liven up on here!! My day is going good thanks! Had my first ever chocolate tetra for breakfast & thought it was rank!! Like a really strong processed chocolate taste?? What about your day?? x

I'd weigh in naked if I could lol Oh well, it will definitely come off next week if your 100% all week :) xx

I know it always is though! I go on the weight watchers site through the day and I'm also part of a cwp Facebook group! We must have opposite bodies ! Lol my legs are short and stumpy and cellulitey whereas my top half is like toned & curvy waist ? X

Thanks :) Whens your weigh in?? x

Ok a long bodycon dress lol my legs are hideous!! x

I can wear a lovely bodycon dress now and my stomach looks flat and my bum looks good but the back fat just ruins it lol My cdc comes every fortnight on a sunday so next weekend will be my month weigh in & measurements- cant wait!! x

Welcome back! I lost 5lbs this week so 21lbs in 3 weeks :) Hope your okay xx

Amazing!! Oh I hate back fat! I can see mine reducing but can't wait till its gone!! xx

woohoo well done!! what about the inches?? x

I've just told my work colleagues that i'm only going to be eating turkey & veg on christmas day and steak on the works do and they were like 'WHAT, your not going to have a glass of wine?????' lol

I am avoiding all Christmas markets this year as I just cant resist the smells!! I'm dreading my works xmas do on Dec 6th but I am just going to stick to protein to keep in Ketosis! Just think of your goal xx

Don't feel bad! It's nothing you could've avoided! Just stick to three shakes a day for the next few days and you'll be in ketosis in no time. Are you feeling any better? I've just had two soft boiled eggs for breakfast as I really can't stomach a shake x

You sound as if you are doing so well! I hope to have equal success as you in the next 6 weeks up to xmas :) x

I know, will soon be Christmas !! 6 weeks to go..hopefully I'll be wearing a size 12 dress :)

Yay well done! I was in the 13's today- 13.12! So happy as well! Still feeling ill too...left half my shake this morning as it was making me gag! Got another bar for lunch & think im going to have chicken salad for tea again! x

Oh I know, 1nstagram is the worst for that though!! I was following a girl on there who said she was so proud of herself for sticking to the plan 100%..although she had a bottle of wine that day!!! Unfollow lol I had 170g chicken covered in chilli powder and 80g of lettuce & cucumber...

I don't have a big enough freezer for ice cubes unfortunately! I've decided I'm going to have chicken breast & salad tonight(SS+) as I feel weak and sick! I just want to be in bed eurghh x

Oh that's good! I know what you mean about feeling paranoid! Hope your mum makes you feel better! I feel awful still :( Made vanilla ice-cream and it tasted like crap so have had no breakfast so now feeling mega sick :( chucked a cranberry crunch bar into my bag for lunch as the thought of a...

I've had one day off in the two years I've worked here because of S&D but my colleagues who have been here for 7-12 years have had no sick days!! So its definitely frowned upon!! :mad: x

Ooh was it yummy? How on earth do you have tonsillitis with no tonsils? Surely it should be throatallitis? lol Yeah im at work!:mad:...they don't believe in sick days here, so in revenge I am going to cough all over my boss and pass it on :D I wish there was a plan called sole source...

I feel awful too! Had night nurse last night which always makes me wake up feeling hungover! Now I've got a blocked up throat which is making me want to be sick and not eat :sigh:

Hi Kirsten, welcome!! I've been doing SS 100% for 15 days and have lost 16lbs so far!! It's definitely worth it :) good luck x

Yay that's amazing!!!!!!!!! Well done!!

Nooo don't eat!! I keep thinking about all the lovely food I want to eat so bad them I think I'll enjoy it so much more (in moderation) in my size 10 body ! X

Ooh I will log on tonight to see how you do! Hope its a big loss...you deserve it!! x

My fiance had the new peanut butter ben & jerrys at the weekend! Was soooo tempted to have a lick lol x

mmm bacon lol The only thing I miss is fruit! I used to pick at it all the time and I miss just going into the fridge for a strawberry. Weird I know lol x

Yay excellent!! :D

Good luck both of you xxx

I go to aldi! We spend about £50 a week normally for us both. My Cambridge is £40 a week and spending about £20 in aldi for my OH so only £10 more than usual :) you can get a big pack of mince for £3 to do shepherds pie/chilli/burgers/bolognaise etc x

I've never bought any laxatives but could definitely do with some at tho mo- might ask my consultant for some Cambridge fibre which I've heard helps. I think I'm just going to have a a shake for breakfast, no lunch & a taste of each course for dinner and drink water and do my exercise DVD...

Oh I really like butterscotch - like a sweeter version of the vanilla! X

Yeah but then when the meals are brought out everyone will realise I have ordered it differently hmmmmm..I'm just going to eat the steak and nothing else...

I can't phone the restaurant because its organised by my boss so they wont know who I am lol & I don't to ask my boss to say it because they'll all start moaning at me hmmmm :( ok what about I resist the dessert and just have a couple of mouthfulls of soup & plain steak...is that carbs?? lol x

Ok got an idea..few mouthfuls of the soup, Just the steak no chips or sauce etc.. one spoonful of the crème brulee...no alcohol- just water! & then i'll do a 30 minute exercise dvd when I get home?? Will that keep me in ketosis? x

I'm doing well thanks...day 11 for me and I've already lost a stone !! My 8 week mark will be just before Xmas so hoping to lost a stone or two more by then! :D

A week? Really? ugh! but the steak comes in a peppercorn sauce mmmm and no mention of veg! This is a nightmare...why couldn't they be traditional and do a roast dinner! x

Hate salmon & duck bleurgh! I REALLY want steak & chips but I thought I could go for the vegetable tart ? Butternut squash soup is the only starter I like but will prob just have a few mouthfuls... Not sure i'm going to be able to pass on the crème brulee ! ughhhhhhhhhh x

This is the menu >>>> Christmas Party Menu | Loch Fyne Seafood & Grill hmmm x

I'll give them a go! For some reason I have totally gone off the Porridge...I had to force it down me the other day! & plus I don't have a microwave so its shake or bar for breakfast for me..don't think I could face soup at 6am lol x

You sound very committed Viita!:D I've got works xmas do on 06/12/13 and im annoyed because the restaurant don't do Xmas dinner which I thought would be the easiest to avoid the carbs (put the potatoes on OH's plate) so not sure what i'm gonna have now :confused:

:roofles: Oh boo I've ordered one of those! x

Yeah Christmas day is at his mums this year then boxing day at my family's but there's going to be a buffet as there is loads of us! So just going to stick to meats and salads :) Really don't want to come out of Ketosis at all as I've heard its so much harder to get back into it? x

Yeah I just want a change from the shake for breakfast as I literally down in before running out the door to work...I should probably get up earlier though lol. x

Sounds like a great plan! I have a few social events over the next few months and hope to stick to protein & veg based meals. I have told my OH's mum that Christmas dinner for me will be turkey & veg so that's sorted...don't like her boozy trifle anyway :P x

Ooh I get bars next week i'm excited! Although I've read on the CWP facebook site some people have said the weight loss slows when you have bars so i'm going to test the theory for a couple of weeks! x

Just remember the food wont make you feel any better...it will probably make you feel worse!! x

I think i'll buy my OH a slice (as its for charity) tell him about it (so I don't eat it myself on the way home) then look in the mirror and imagine myself a few stone down for motivation lol :)

Just gone into the kitchen at work to prepare my shake and have been faced with 10 different variety's of cake! We are apparently having a McMillan bake sale tomorrow and there is every type of cake you could think of- Victoria sponge, chocolate fudge, carrot etc.. HELP!

Nooo don't ruin your hard work! Think about how slim you could be at xmas if you stay on plan! :xmascheers:

Amazing!!! I'm a 16 now- would love to be a 12 for Xmas! :winter_brr:

:party0049::banana dancer::party0019: haha love these little guys! x

It's going so fast! I can't believe I am on day 10!! x

You will get used to it! :)...the first couple of days I was starving and i'm on day 10 today and don't feel hungry at all! xx

ah I love peppermint tea! Hope you feel better soon xx

Oh you look fantastic!! Thanks for posting- I would love to lose 6 stone...but aiming for 4 stone to start with and see how I feel. x

I don't expect to lose that much on my second weigh-in but it definitely keeps me motivated :)

I lost 12lbs on my first weigh in on Sunday so it definitely seems achievable :)

I don't really like lemon flavoured things but its yoghurt as well isn't it? I get bars next week, might give one a go! xx

Amazing!! Go you!! X

Thank you! I do feel rather proud! :D here's to next weeks weigh-in! X

They say on average on SS you lose one stone a month and you've lost that in half the time! You will definitely get to 11 stone in Jan- oh and your in the 13's!!! Woo! X

Are you joking - that's amazing!! So you've now lost 1 whole stone in two weeks?? Your doing so well :D I best stay off the tea now, although only been having one cup of liquorice tea a day. Don't feel down, just think of what weight you would've been if you hadn't started cwp two weeks ago!! Xx

HONK for day 8..just about to drink my hot chocolate mint shake mmm!

Hooray! I will log on tonight to see how you do :) Good luck! x

Yeah I feel slimmer on my waist! Let us know how you get on! x

I lost 12lbs :) Started Mon 28/11/13. Feel amazing :party0011:

6lbs is amazing! Sometimes it takes longer for our bodies to catch up with a change of diet- maybe next week you will have a larger loss? You shouldn't compare yourself with others as everyone is different. Well done xx

That's amazing Peggy! My first weigh in tomorrow- so excited! X

Day 6- HONK!!

Oh no so does that mean my cinnamon & liquorice tea's ive been having are not allowed?? :confused:

Cambridge Weight Plan: General << on the question 'Can I drink Low calorie squashes?' It says 'herbal tea, regular tea & coffee can add variety'. so I think that shows its allowed?

Oh I thought all herbal teas were allowed?? Looking on google it says previous to June 2013 only leaf teas were but then there was a head office notification which allowed fruit & root teas! God I hope i'm right because I have about 3 liquorice teas a day! x

I'm gonna try and stay away from the scales till Sunday now as I am getting rather addicted lol The taste in my mouth is getting worse so i'm definitely going to have to invest in some mouth spray!! x

Oh you'll be fine! Take a shake tetra with you and if you really have to pick just stick to protein & salad! I've got a spa break & a comedy night booked for December with meals included so i'm hoping there is some healthy options! I tried the apple & cinnamon porridge yesterday & thought it...

Hi Peggy, Day 4 for me as well! I do keep getting dizzy spells but it reminds me to drink my water! I am addicted to jumping on the scales at the mo- i'm down 8lbs so far!! Which is definitely keeping me motivated! :) I must pick up some mouth spray!! lol x

HONK for yesterday and I'm going to pre-honk for today :P

I tried the spicy tomato soup last night and thought it was disgusting! So added some chilli powder and it was worse. So had no dinner last night &amp; I've now woken up 14st 7...so 9lbs in 3 days?? Is that normal? X

Ah see I'm the opposite ! Have a small waist and flat tummy but huge hips/bum and flabby thighs!! X

I'm only on day 3 but reading through your diary has given me massive motivation! Your doing so well! x

I think i'm going to start the squat challenge! x

Thanks Ladies...Got to say this Porridge is lovely! Feels nice to be eating something rather than drinking lol :) xx

I have bad breath (tmi??) but no metal taste just yet. Yeah I feel lucky that I really like the taste of all the products I've tried so far! Don't think id feel so dedicated if I wasn't enjoying my meals! Was talking to my mum about Christmas earlier and got all excited at the thought of buying...

I had a sneaky peek on the scales this morning and I'm 4lbs down in 2 days! Can't wait for Sunday! Tried the Oriental Chilli Soup last night & it was soo good! Got the Apple & Cinnamon porridge for lunch today too :) I am still feeling hungry so hopefully I will go into ketosis soon! x

Yeah I was suprised at the shakes...I think they are really creamy! I had the chocolate mint last night and used hot water and blended it till it went all frothy like a hot chocolate mmmm haha x

lol Yeah I'm lucky really as I dont have many temptations! Ive been getting past feeling hungry by drinking herbal teas! The liquorice is really nice! x

I think that would work fine Laura...its still really low calories and its better than caving in to something naughty. You might just find you lose less weight rather than sticking to SS but its about the long term too xx

Is the Porridge nice?? I've heard it tastes like wallpaper paste! lol My consultant came on Sunday night with 5 milkshakes to last me till tonight (banana, chocolate, vanilla, mango, chocolate mint) as I had to get the doctor to sign my form monday morning (which he did woohoo) so im ordering...

No point caving in now- you've only just begun! As Lauralou Said have protein & Veg/Salad- That's allowed on SS+ x

No I took a cocktail shaker and the banana powder to work and shook it for 2 minutes with some ice cold water..and no lumps :) although everyone thinks I may have an alcohol problem lol xx

I've only tried the shakes so far as thats all my consultant had...tried banana, chocolate, mango, chocolate mint & vanilla and got to say they are all yummy! My lady is coming round tonight so im going to buy some soups, porridges and bars to try next! I know what you mean about determination...

I'm finding it suprisingly easy at the moment! Surrounded by Treats in the office and I'm feeling quite content sipping on my banana shake :)

11lbs is amazing Viita! Im on day 2 atm- cant wait to see the results of my first weigh in!

Massive Difference- Well done! x

You look Tiny :) How you getting on with maintenance? x

You have done amazingly well! x

I cant wait to be able to take an 'after' photo! x

You Look amazing...Im only on day 2 but cant wait to be able to take an 'after' photo! x

Thats amazing! How much do you have to lose overall?

Thats amazing :) Im on Day 2 of SS...cant wait to see the results!

I weigh in on Sunday! So excited as feeling less bloated on only day 2 :)

You look amazing !! :) Love seeing how quick the weight loss is on CWP x

HONK! Day 2 of SS 100% for me :)

Thanks!! Day 2 has begun, feeling great! Have had no headaches or feelings of hunger yet. Been filling up on water & yummy herbal teas!

Hi, i'm on day 1 of SS and finding it surprisingly ok so far! Feeling Very motivated!

:) Hi All, Day 1 for me on the Cambridge Weight Plan. I've never done anything like this before so i'm looking forward to seeing the results! I'm 22 years old, 5'5 and 15 st. Looking to lose around 4 stone initially to get me to a healthy bmi and see how I feel from there! Any tips for a newby...
