Hi hun, yes just got back from meeting with my CDC- damage from bingeing for 2 weeks has been fairly bad.. BUT she did say half of it is glycogen/fluid levels being high. So we are aiming for 7-10lb off by next Sunday. FINGERS CROSSED! I needed to know the weight I think to have this kick up the...

Welcome back from the wonderful city of NY! So glad to hear you've had an amazing time (and woah well done on your weight loss too!) I've just extended my November trip to NYC by 3 days so I am there 10 days instead woop - just thought WHY NOT! So just an update - I got 1lb under my target for...

Hi guys! Well CD Rome - wedding was amazing, however my plan to get back on hasn't yet evolved. Had alot going on and really not been very motivated. I was desperate to get back on on Monday and was all ready to go and then got severe food poisoning Sunday night (only just able to look at food)...

Good girl! Willpower strong! Thank you sweetie! I am super happy and proud and now only half a day left at work before the wedding final preps begin! Thank you for your well wishes for my sister I know I just thought they were SOO brutal. And my only sister's wedding is a big occasion and...

Well done you!! You have done so amazingly well! I have my weigh in on Fri morn after 12 days since my last one so hoping for a good loss! I had my bridesmaid dress taken in from a size 14 to a size 10 and I am now about a stone away from my mid-June target. I am coming off plan this weekend...

It's nice to actually hear that people enjoyed their easter weekends! I was on the facebook group earlier and everyone who said they'd had the weekend off and over indulged was basically being bludgened for doing so lol! I am having my weekend off this weekend for my sister's wedding and I...

Honk for day 55 sole source! Not a cheat has passed my lips!

You are so inspirational Sarah. You look absolutely amazing! X

Hi Luna and welcome! You can easily achieve that! I say go for Sole Source and push it! I've got my final dress fitting this Sat for being maid of honour at my sisters wedding next Sat! Mine was 2 sizes too big 2 weeks ago but she was waiting for final fit this week to start alterations - hoping...

Oh Hun bless you! Families are such a pain in the ass sometimes! I know it's hard even when not to do with you and it's other members of family arguing :(. Your colleague sound like a douche! I am not getting along with my colleagues at the mo and the atmosphere makes the days so hard! X

Thank you :) I am being super organised so no room for slipping! Just seen you're having a bad day! Whats up? x

Yeah that is what I am thinking. Well I will 100% be back on plan fully on Tuesday I am not throwing it away. (I am going back to SS and having shake for breakfast and lunch on Monday but we have the family wedding dinner before my sister goes on her honeymoon on the Monday night but I am not...

Thanks hun - just thought I would ask. I am hoping that a couple days off followed by a couple weeks back on SS before I step up will be fine and that the damage wont be too drastic! I know deep down I am scared to come off but at the same time I do want to come off and enjoy too! I don't think...

Hi both :) just have a quick question! When you have 'come off the wagon' before on SS and had a bad couple of days what has you weight loss been like? I'm going into my 8th week now and I am 1st 1lb away from my goal weight (which I want to be at by beginning of June atlease.) I have no weigh...

Yummy! Sounds like a good kick start and well done on not going mental! Im sure it will dont worry! Wow thats a nice loss on your waist - I just cant seem to tone the lose skin/fat on my tummy which makes me feel bigger than I am! 25th goal is looking okay although i'm not sure if I will quite...

Hi Viita, well done on the loss! How did the day off go? What did you end up having to help kick start? I reckon you will easily get that last 2lb off by Monday! I am still holding out for 7-9lb off by 25th April... PANIC! I am exercising quite a lot so im sure I am gaining muscle too but I do...

Hi Hun! Yeah that's very true I didn't think of it like that! I was thinking yesterday how much I love my exercise at the mo - if anything it will be muscle building that stops me losing but then that's a good thing for when I come off plan anyway! Fitting went well - dress was too big!! ...

Thanks Debs, just keeping going strong and hardcore for the wedding knowing i'll get a little treat then by walking down the aisle 2st lighter and getting some treat food that day. But coming straight back on the Cambridge on Monday but not going to weigh in until the Sunday so that I can get...

Well done Debs! 12lb in 2 weeks is amazing! I've been doing it 5wks now and I have lost 21lbs. I haven't eaten at all and dont plan on til my sisters wedding (the 10wk mark) then I am going to return to SS for another week before I start working up the plan! Keep going with it - it gets much...

Im crossing all my fingers and toes that I can do it lol!! I am so so excited! x

Wow that is amazing! I am just starting week 5 and have lost 21lbs - got 10lbs left to my first goal and only 3.5wks til the wedding! x

Hi Teebee, how are you? xx

Hi all, How is everyone getting on? :) x

I know I am just panicking now. I dont know if I am being silly but I had my weigh in this morning after sticking 100% to plan and even doing my toning exercises 3 times a day whilst on the hen weekend... i've only lost 3lb in 9days. I was really hoping for 4 or 5... so feeling really...

Absolutely amazing achievement! I am 14lbs from my first goal for the wedding and just under 28lbs from my ideal weight! Currently in Barcelona on my sisters hen weekend - stuck 100% to plan and nothing has passed my lips but water and shakes! Praying that Tues morn shows me a good loss...

Yeah so am I! I have 25lbs to go - I want to try and wait til the last 7lb to go up a step! x

Yeah everyone keeps saying the same thing for me! My CDC said that powerwalking is fine but I do really go for it when I go out! I am just going to keep on doing what I am doing and if the losses aren't good then I will have to take it down a notch! Same here cant wait to step up and then be...

Thank you hun! I don't really like the porridges either and I only like the Oriental Chilli soup! I suggest for the first week you still with the shakes as they are yummy (I like all of them but I know everyone differs.) You can do it! Persevere! Days 3-5 are very hard but if you focus on...

I have good days and bad days but at the moment I just want to bloody exercise like 4 times a week! I am on Sole Source so I really shouldn't be doing it. I've mainly been powerwalking and doing the odd 20min interval training workout once or twice a week! I am going away this weekend so I...

Ah okay! Yeah I have been told the same thing but I really struggle not to exercise when I feel like I have so much energy lol! x

You'll be fine! I bet you will lose that 4lb in no time! Do you currently do much exercise? x

That's a good idea! :) Just see what works for your body! Dont be silly I would be exactly the same at your stage! I still have 14lb I wanna lose by APril 26th (4.5 wks) and then another stone after that! Wish it would hurry up! x

Oh hunny, I am so so sorry to hear that. You have done amazing to stick with it at such a hard time and that really shows your dedication and will power! I definitely agree with your CDC - just take every week as it comes and im sure the weight loss will get better. If we can support you anyway...

I definitely agree - I would just have a 'cheat day' and then go back to really strict healthy step 3 eating again, throw in some extra exercise like powerwalking and I guarantee you'll have a better loss if not this week then next for sure! It just trick your body and confuses it instead of...

Hi Viita, it definitely is proven to work, my cousin is a PT/nutritionist and he said exactly the same as your friend. I used to always do it as well, when I had a cheat day i'd always lose more the following weigh in! Try to do it as far away from your weigh in as possible to give your body a...

I still haven't had time to get the blender out and give it a go! Think I'm gonna wait til I start to find the shakes boring (which I don't yet) to give me something different to do. I honestly love all the shakes every single one I am enjoying! Lost another 4lb this week so total one month loss...

Yep drinking water by the ton! 4+ litres a day!! Lost another 4lb so in 27 days (one day short of a month) total loss of 18lb! X

Hows it going everyone? :) xx

Thats true Kat! I am just very impatient! 25 days so far on SS... wow! Somedays easy, some hard! All for the result that I want by Day 60 (the wedding) x

Thank you Kat! Just wish I had more time and was having even better results x

Thanks hun! I just want to lose it so bad and I am worried it's just going to stop and slow down! Yep thats the plan lots of water to get me through the day - I really want to try and make one of my shakes with ice this weekend for a change!! I love them hot too like the hot choc and the choc...

Thanks hun, I know I should think of it like that! I am just so worried in 5 weeks I wont be able to lose the 15lbs I REALLY want to lose :(. I wish I had started Cambridge earlier on! Yeah I just think that I will end up regretting it if I exercise too hard and then either end up so weak I...

Hi girls, sorry to but in - not quite the bride but I am going to be Maid of Honour at my sister's wedding in 5 weeks! Lost a stone in my first 3 weeks but still got 15lbs to go! Hoping its possible! Got her surprise hen weekend which I planned next weekend but I am sticking 100% to plan (as its...

Hi Harriet! Lucky you - I would've done exactly the same for my spontaneous trip! I say dont worry about going back on the shakes and just eat healthily (salad/veg/meat/fruit) this week before you go to NYC. I always have a super healthy week before NYC because I eat such pure crap out there...

Thank you! I guess I didn't feel very happy with only 3lb loss but should remember it is still a loss and still took me to a total 1 stone loss in 3 weeks! Yeah I know that what I keep worrying about, dont want to put my body into starvation mode! I was doing a high intense interval training dvd...

I hope so! I am so so determined - have to do it! I lost another 3lb this week but it was TOTM and my CDC thought may have lost more if I didn't exercise as much but I love the exercising feeling so I wanna keep doing it ?! That is bizarre! I've got 15lbs to go for my minimum target of 11...

Hi CDROME! No probs! Just want to lose lose lose! Day 18 over - mainly doing shakes and then just the oriental chilli soup which I love! Week 3 weigh in tomorrow and hoping I have a good loss!! I don't feel any different yet in terms of my reflection - I still feel so fat! I'm gonna try a...

Keep going with it Kat its amazing! I only feel down today because I have loads on my plate (metaphorically of course!) I wont give up dont worry!! xx

Feeling seriously low today! Where are you Harriet?! lol x

Thank you Harriet! I definitely feel more uptight again today - I think maybe I am not enjoying being at work much at the moment as all I can concentrate on is all the other thins I have on at the moment. Every evening seems to be a rush of things to get things done. I am trying to exercise now...

It was amazing! I hate all the other soups with a passion - have tried them all!! I love all the shakes though! X

Also Harriet, have you tried the Oriental Chilli Soup??.... TO DIE FOR. I tried it for lunch today and LOVED it - going all the way to my CDC's house tonight/tomorrow just to get some more! x

Thank you Harriet I am all okay now. A bit calmer. The problem for me is my life is so hectic - I work Monday-Friday full days and then I am also studying in the evenings for my law degree. It just so happens my exams are looming, plus I am getting everything ready for my sister's hen weekend...

Good! Make sure you check Gallaghers or Carmine's out 100%! They are amazing! Oh dear lord! I'm having a terrible day today - just had a breakdown at work and now heading home. Just have so much on my plate at the mo, not enough hrs and feel like everyone wants a piece of me! Yes weight loss...

Aww lovely! I just spent the day surrounded by food at the rugby! Very hard! But I managed it too! Heading out for a walk when I get back. Lost another 4lb woohoo! X

Wow that's amazing! I struggled last Saturday but honest by the time next sat comes you'll be fine! I've just been for a 50min walk with my other half ? - lovely and cool outside! WI tomorrow morn for me! X

Hi! Never been there no! Il have to have a look! How was WI? X

Wow that is amazing! I just worry I wont lose what I want to lose in time! But fingers crossed! Now im actually enjoying it its much easier to stick too! I hope so! Will be sure to post a pic after the wedding. Well the ones you MUST do are Gallaghers Steakhouse (best steak in the world)...

Yeah I am the same! The only thing i've craved is jelly and bananas! How weird is that! Definely know what you mean there! Exactly - holidays are to enjoy you just have to be focused! I will still be here doing it so come back and tell me all about it and i'll help you back through into...

Harriet - nice to hear from you! That is absolutely amazing, so chuffed for you! Yeah I am too - it's the first diet i've ever done where I dont feel deprived because the shakes taste so good! On top of that all the balance/minerals/vitamins seem to give me bags of energy unlike other diets...

Good luck on your journey! You can do it! x

Thank you for your response on this! Definitely needed to hear it from someone with similar stats/goal to me. I am trying to walk a mile a day at the moment and I am going to start doing a slightly longer walk two nights a week too to try and help speed things along. I think I may just go onto...

Hi CDROME - we have similar stats. Although I have always struggled with my weight and have had episodes of eating disorders - the starvation/binge cycle. I started 10 days ago at 13st 8lb and lost 7lbs in my first 5 days. I am worried that the weight loss will stop - im also forcing myself to...

Hiya Kiwichan - so last sunday (5 days on plan) I had weigh in with CDC and lost half a stone. Still another 1.5 stone to go. I defintely am still struggling although on Day 10. I have another 1.5 stone to lose in 7 weeks. I worry how much I will lose and how fast as I know that the more you...

You look amazing! I definitely need your encouragement - I have about 2.5 stone to lose - 1.5 stone of which I want off by 26th April when I am Maid of Honour at my sister's wedding. I worry most that my weight loss may not be quick enough - especially as I have had eating disorders in the past...

HONK!!!!!!

Hi Harriet, I am officially on day 8 and it is definitely alot easier! I am actually having to make myself have my products even if i'm not hungry! :) hoping to see good results on the scales on Sunday :). Just about to book my summer holiday so a good reason to get straight back on the plan on...

Thank you Harriet! Yeah it really is! Yeah definitely finding it easier as the days go on - but I do miss real food some days! Yeah I am drinking over 3litres at the mo as so thirsty! X

Hi harriet, well done that's amazing! I had a 7lb loss at my first weigh in on the 5th day! I'm hoping for a good loss this week too! Definitely getting more into it and knowing there is results also helps! It definitely is just taking time to get used to it all! x

Thanks teebee! I definitely feel great - the weekend was tough but already today is much better, if anything now I am in ketosis my appetite is tiny and I am forcing myself to have my products cause I know not having them will not help! Hoping that i'll get another good loss this week as last...

Wow JMC81 that's amazing! Well done :) x

Keep going skinny you will get there! We're here to support! I have the same at home - everyone thinks it's silly and eat in front of me all the time! Good luck jmc81!! X

So first weigh in today (after only 5 days sole source) - lost 7lbs. Now for a proper full week! Hoping this week is easier and if not this week then next! So worth the results! X

Another tough day here for me! Spent the day at my sisters with old friends catching up..: they had lunch and I didn't. Now off to the cinema and to stay at my friends for a girls night... Again the norm would be bad food at the cinema and lots of tea/biscuits and snacks with my best friend. But...

Of course you can xx

Thanks Harriet! Feel okay now - although going to go to bed soon! My usual Friday night would be movie and snacks with my other half but don't really feel like there's anything to stay up for lol! I just need to persevere for 8 weeks and reap the results at the wedding and then il have the...

I am definitely struggling today with the emotions - feeling very sorry for myself! I just have my eyes set on the goal for the wedding, I dont know how I will feel afterwards. I almost feel like the whole weight loss/struggle has put a rather large dampener on the wedding (which is very sad)...

Hi all - welcome back! This is my first time on CD and I am on day 4 - starting to feel alot better now and into it! I do get really aggy and ready to throw the towel in when I am approaching my lunch time product! I am going to be my sister's Maid of Honour on the 26th April - and I want...

Ah TeeBee you life saver! Just made the chicken and mush with boiling water - MUCH better! I dont have facebook anymore sorry!! Hopefully we can survive the weekend - I will probably pop on here as I have it on my phone! xx

Thanks Teebee you too! I hate the soups only cause of the consistency and not the taste. How did you make yours? Did you find them powdery at all? X

Haha! I actually have a better night sober - and as I am the Maid of Honour and thus 'in charge' I can make sure everyone is okay -especially my sister! lol x

Well done stacey! That is amazing!!

I wish!! Would love to fast forward! There's something about the porridge that I love but I always feel SO naughty after cause it makes me so bloated. My CDC has said I need to stop worrying and feeling guilty for eating the shakes etc - I just can't get over how they taste good and aren't...

Dont worry Kazagirt79 - still only 4 days in and almost that to go before end of 1st week! 3.5lbs is loads already! I am staying on for the hen weekend because I would rather enjoy the wedding lol and I dont want to undo what i've worked hard at! Keep powering through - we can do this! x

Thank you! Feeling much better now - drinking my 2pm lunch shake has made me feel much better! Also find by eating breakfast shake at 10am and lunch at 2pm im less likely to feel hungry between 3 and 5pm! I feel great! Roll on Sunday weigh in! x

Thanks Jay! Definitely feeling the senses thing - I try to go out at lunch at work because if I sit at my desk I can smell everyones hot lunches. The only thing I really struggle with is the soup - forced myself for lunch the last two days! I think today I am going to just have another shake and...

Thanks Cleo.B - definitely can tell today is harder as I felt good yesterday and today I am really hungry and have a bad headache! Trying to keep myself busy all the time or going to bed if that's not poss! x

I'm hoping it's a good loss Jay! I only did 4 products on the first day in the end and then went straight into 3 yesterday (which was totally fine) - a little hungrier this morning but I know that days 3-5 are the hardest apparently. How you feeling?

Same here jay631 - how you finding it, I feel okay still! Had the obvious hunger pains, a couple headaches on the first day, missing food a little now but I am ignoring those and just perservering!

Thanks Stacey! I'm feeling good today still - not as bad as yesterday but I know days 3 to 5 can be tough! Other half currently eating a pizza in front of me and not bothered at all! Woop! x

Hi Lisa Marie - mine is a Sunday morning! First one this Sunday will be after just 5 days! x

Wow Kiwichan that's amazing!! We have similar-ish stats! Im currently 13st and looking to get to 11st in 8wks and then a further stone off after that! How are you finding it? I am only on day 2! x

I didnt think of that teebee! But I think i'll just stick to eating the 3 times a day. Im so used to eating constantly all day every day (hence the need to lose weight) I think training my body to stop 'picking' and eating so regularly might be a good for me!

kazagirt79 - I am not too bad this afternoon! So I think holding out for another 2.5hours for my last shake will be okay (as an hour of that is travelling home.) I think keeping busy is the key with this (and not having manky CD soups for lunch!) Keep powering through the day is almost done! I...

See I love porridge so thats why I chose it! The soups taste vile and they have this really horrible powdery water texture which is why I dont like them. So far I have tried chocolate, banana and cappucino shakes and I love them! Yeah i've definitely got that metalicy taste and I think the bad...

Thanks for that teebee! I can 100% say that I HATE the soups but love everything else so far! The hot apple and cinnamon porridge was to die for last night! Better than normal porridge! and so far the shakes have been so good! Yesterday I had a 4th shake which my consultant told me to have to...

Thank you teebee! So exciting about your friends and your weddings! Yes very similar kazagirt79. My consultant said as long as I stick with the SS and really work at it for the whole time I will get atleast 1.5 to 2 stone off for the wedding! Im kind of regretting not starting 4 weeks ago when...

Hi all, I started yesterday (25th Feb) - 3 stone to lose, 2 stone ideally in 8weeks when I am Maid of Honour at my sister's wedding! Buddy required/needed/appreciated!! First time on CD and doing SS - so far okay, hunger pains and a couple headaches so far. x

Hi all, I started yesterday (25th Feb) - 3 stone to lose, 2 stone ideally in 8weeks when I am Maid of Honour at my sister's wedding! Buddy required/needed/appreciated!! Day 2 not so bad - getting a bit hungry now so going to make up my soup for my second product. On SS and trying 3 products a...

Hi all, I started yesterday (25th Feb) - 3 stone to lose, 2 stone ideally in 8weeks when I am Maid of Honour at my sister's wedding! Buddy required/needed/appreciated!! x

Hi Jmc81, I started yesterday (day 2 today) would love a buddy! My first time on CD so all the support I can get! Maid of Honour for my sister in 8 weeks and want to lose 2 stone by then and then a further stone after that!

Morning all, So today is my first day ever on the CD. I am starting off, until my next weigh in on Sunday, with 4 products a day. Then next week I am going to decrease to 3. For today I have got Cappucino shake for breakfast, then Chicken & Mushroom soup for lunch, then Chocolate shake for...

Hi all! I was hoping I could join with you guys! You are all doing amazing and your weigh-ins are so good! I need your determination! Slightly different situation - my SISTER is getting married in 10wks and I am her maid of honour - want to lose about 1.5-2stone before the wedding! Even have...
