Oh no! Sorry you're having a bad day!! I'm ok today, really struggled yesterday, got in from work, went to bed and cried. Lol hoping for an early finish today. I hope you feel better later! X

How's everybody doing today? I hope you're all doing well!

Think of how much weight you can lose by May. That should keep you motivated. I'm being a bridesmaid in 5 weeks. Was 6 weeks, but the first week on Cambridge has gone so quickly and I'm already 8 pounds down! Stick with it!

Thank you! I'm not really that keen on the porridge, but I love the rice pudding. Try it with a little bit of nutmeg on the top, I have it all the time! I hope everybody enjoys their early nights! Lol good luck for tomorrow! :) X

The hunger will go by about day 4 or 5. Yes, go to bed, it's the best thing to do when you get hungry. Hope you have a good day tomorrow too :-) x

Hi Gemma. I'm doing ok, I didn't get in form work til 7, I'm normally home about 5.30 - so I was behind on my shake and craving food. I stood with the fridge door open and just looked in there for a couple of minutes then walked away!! Haha I got into bed then with my book (that arrived today...

You shouldn't have any trouble teaching a stone by the end of January, you just bred to be strict with yourself. Yes, your mouth will feel quite dry for a while.

It will be worth it! Stick with it and don't give up. I'm on day 7 now and I've lost 8 pounds and I can really feel it on my body and I notice a difference in the mirror. You have to have patience, it won't happen over night, but it will be worth it!!

I only like the chocolate ready made shakes. I normally add them to half a cup of black coffee, it's like drinking a mocha then, and it's nice and warm this time of year. Have you tried the rice pudding? It's really nice with some nutmeg on top. I hope you have a better day tomorrow! Stick with...

It's a great feeling when you hit ketosis. Have a good day tomorrow, and keep strong!! :-) X

Haha you'll catch up with me in no time, don't you worry about that! Yeah, get the next 3 days over, you'll be in ketosis then and well on your way to a new slimmer you! :) X

Thanks Gemma! :) I'm really chuffed too, it's made me more motivated!! No, book isn't here yet, hopefully tomorrow. Have you managed ok tonight? X

I'm glad you've had a good day. The first few are the hardest, it does get easier. Tomorrow should be my first weigh in, but my consultant is on holiday this week, so I have to go two weeks without her! :( next Wednesday will be my first official weigh in, that will be 14 days on the Cambridge...

Hey Gemma! :-) How's your first day been? I hope you've managed ok! X

Hi Jade, Forget about today and start a fresh again tomorrow. You know you can do this, think about how much you want it! We all know how hard it is, but in 4/5 days time you'll be ketosis and feeling great. Stick with it, and good luck for tomorrow!! X

Yes, I must be there now. And yes I'm just doing sole source, I find it works best. I have a two litre bottle of water on my desk in work and I've been getting almost to the bottom of that each day, but i also have a few cups of black tea through the day as well. So I'm drinking plenty of water...

Today has been ok thanks. I think I'm in ketosis now as I haven't been hungry, had a bit of a headache earlier though so just came to bed early. Are you looking forward to starting tomorrow? X

Same starting weight as me Gemma! You won't be at that for long! Good luck for tomorrow :-) X

I hope feel better tomorrow!! I suffered bad with headaches the first time I did Cambridge, but I've been fine this time. Stick with it! :-) x

Finally in ketosis and feeling great today! Not hungry at all!! I hope you're all having a good day?! :-) X

Let's! It'll be worth it. Good luck Tuesday, keep me updated!! :) X

I love clothes too! :) I'm only 5.4. I'd love to be a bit taller, but oh well! Lol

Yeah try it! :-) you'll feel better within just a few days... My stomach felt flatter by day 3, it's surprising! Are you excited to start?

You'll probably be in ketosis by then. I don't think the tuna will stop you hitting ketosis - it's on the list of allowed foods. I sometimes have a boiled egg on days that I'm really struggling. I love the rice pudding, I put a little bit of nutmeg on top, it's lovely!

The first week is the hardest, but keep thinking about getting back on the scales and how good you'll feel when the numbers go down. I normally go to the gym, but I won't be going for a couple of weeks now I'm back on Cambridge as I don't want to over do it while I'm taking in low calories.

Try not to think too much about getting on the scales. Think about how good you're going to feel in a weeks time when you get back on and the numbers have gone down. You're clothes will feel better in no time! :-) good luck! X

Glad you're doing well! I always get into bed early too when I'm starting to feel peckish! Lol

Yes, stick to it! It'll be worth it!! X

Hello. Are you doing Sole Source? The weight loss depends on each individual and your weight. And obviously how well you stick to the diet! Good luck for tomorrow, and remember plenty of water - it really does help!! X

I'm finding it ok so far, I've surprised myself actually. The weekends are the hardest and I'm looking forward to being in work tomorrow and into routine. I've been having mostly ready made chocolate shakes and rice pudding (which is lovely, you should try it). I had my last rice pudding half an...

Oh that's good, I'm glad you're doing well. It is easier to do it with somebody. The support Is better and you know you can't be naughty and cheat! The water is great for headaches! Keep up the good work! :-)

The first week is the hardest, so just keep thinking about how much you want this and keep at it. You can do this! :-) I've been told that it's about a stone a month on Cambridge, so a stone and half would be great!!

Thanks :-) I feel like I'm almost there. How is your diet going?

Hi Gemma. Of course I don't mind :) this is my second time on Cambridge. I started last April at 14st12 and got down to 12st4. I'm starting again now at 12st12. Hoping to shift quite a bit in 6 weeks. You're not starting until the 8th are you? Is this your first time on Cambridge? It's such a...

I'm looking forward to being back in work tomorrow. The weekends are the hardest. You just need to keep yourself busy. Do anything to take your mind off eating... Go for a walk, do the ironing, have a bath, paint your nails. Anything! I've just got into bed with my bowl of rice pudding to watch...

You have to forget about today, put it behind you and start again tomorrow. You'll be fine!! :-) X

Good idea!! :-) I hope I reach ketosis soon, I think I'm almost there I think. It's such a good feeling when the hunger goes! Good luck everyone! X Starting weight: 180 pounds

This is also my 4th day. I hope I'm almost in ketosis. This is the second time that I've done the Cambridge diet but can't remember how long it took last time.

Hi everyone! I started SS Thursday, currently on day 4 and feeling positive. I'm being a bridesmaid in 6 weeks so want to shift some weight ready for the wedding. Try not to think too much about the withdrawals, once you start you'll be fine! We can all support each other :-)

Awh Debbie, like everybody else has said, try not to beat yourself up about it! We've all done it. Hopefully the way you feel now will stop you from eating again. I know it's hard! I'm on day four and was really struggling today so I went out for a long walk otherwise I knew I would eat...

Hi Debbie :) I'm doing well, still going strong and feeling positive. How are you doing? X

Oh what a lovely message!! It's nice to hear somebody so excited and determined. It was my second day on SS today, and I'm going strong. It is a hard journey but it will be worth it for us all. I've done the Cambridge diet before but this is my first time on this forum so it'll be nice to keep...

That's the first I've heard about being allowed to drink flavoured water. I'd double check with you consultant. I only ever drink normal still water. You can get flavouring from your consultant to add to water, it's quite nice. Have you tried sparkling water? That might be a good alternative for...

Hi Rory! :) Well done on your first day! Keep going with the water. I'm on day two today and was surprised how easy I got through yesterday. It's the weekends I find the hardest. I'm not really all that fussed on the shakes, I prefer the ready made cartons. I normally have porridge for...

All the best for today Debbie! Keep us updated. And remember, drink plenty of water!! ;) x

When are you starting? You will feel so much better when you start. Today was my first day back and it was surprisingly easier than I thought it was going to be! Also, try the rice pudding!... It's new (ish) and it's really lovely! I had it for dinner with some nutmeg on top. X

Hi Debbie. Today is my first day back on the Cambridge diet. I did the diet back last year and lost 2 stone. I have another 2 and a half to go. I'm being a bridesmaid in 6 weeks time so I really need to stick to it! I understand how hard it is, but keep strong, once you're passed the first week...
