Actually gutted haha. I wanted to lost 4lbs. I lost 3.8 .. So close yet so far! not got weigh in for 2 weeks now so hoping for 8lbs at next weigh in. x

Weigh in at 5.15. Im hoping for 4lbs this week considering the meal. Good luck to you too later Jen.

Weigh in today. went out for a meal last night that I couldn't get out of. Had chicken burger and chips :/ ketostiks are still saying I'm in ketosis though so am hoping no damage done. everyone else coping okay? Xx

I'm sagging too! Although I have been told that the skin can take up to 6 months to catch up. So don't worry too much. hows everyone getting on? ive moved myself up to SS+. I've started feeling very faint so felt I needed a small evening meal. It really works well for me, so anyone struggling...

Yeah I'm feeling better about it now I'm thinking rationally. Is anyone else getting really irritable and snapping at people whilst on this diet? feel like I've been a right cow to BF. xx

Thanks everyone. I think part of me feels that once I reach 1st lost it'll actually feel like a lot. If you know what I mean. Also no one notices yet and just feel like nothing's changing. Im way too impatient! Xx

Oh no! .. I hate it when I cook for my son n he just leaves it. It really is hard knowing you really want to eat n they just don't. But you'll get back on track. i lost 5lbs .. Not sure why but a little disappointed as its only week 2. I also didn't lose anything off my waist. hoping for a...

Weigh in soon! Hows everyone else getting on? Its gettin quiet!

I've been put on antibiotics now. They say to take with a meal, do packs count?

Ok I have a confession. Last night I struggled to sleep so ended up sucking on one of my boyfriends throat sweets. The wee stick still says im in ketosis so hopefully not done any damage. Had a sneaky look at scales today, they say 15.10 so feeling silently happy with myself. Hope alls well...

Yeah I'm feeling a little better. I made my shakes today with crushed ice, was actually really nice! struggled with the water though as swallowing is so hard! hows everyone been today? xx

Ah ladies, have any of you been ill on the plan? Yesterday I only managed 2 out of 4 packs n barely any water. My throat feels like sandpaper! Are we allowed throat sweets or anything?

Just waiting to go to bed. I have a 2 yr old that likes to wake at 5am so am a zombie by this time!

Im on day 8 too. Also got a headache.but think it may eb because not had my water

Yeah still managing okay. Keeping busy. Dont think my flats ever been so clean!

Oh wow well done! I lost 7lb. how you been getting on? Xx

Woooo! I have officially completed my first week. Now to get to next week xx

Hi all I thought id start a diary. More for my own benefit really. I started the diet on Friday and my start weight was 16st6. I had the odd struggles but managed pretty well, other than the few times I caught myself nearly picking at my sons leftovers! Thankfully ive so far managed to...

I definatly need new scales as mine are lying to me. My son has been jumping on them so has probably broke them. Although it is nice to see it stop at around 14'10. Can only dream though xx

Yeah just about managed my 4th day. 1 day at a time really seems to be working at the mo :)

Ahh where are you all? At work and can smell the chippy next door! Could so cry right now. xx

I'm no longer feeling hungry. I do still crave stuff though! I am expecting to see results which is kind of dis heartening whilst I'm doing up my work size 22 trousers and still struggling. (I'm a 20 everywhere else but my work trousers just depress me).

Okay. Thanks, was getting worried for a minute I was being kicked out of it for no reason! Had a sneaky look on my scales today, (there not digi or accurate) but it rested just above 16st. Made me feel better anyway :). Not going to update til my official weigh in Thursday though. when do you...

Lou she didnt say it would take me out of ketosis. She just said that when you chew your brain sends a signal to your stomach saying there is food coming. So your stomach makes acid and you feel more hungry. (Something like that anyway) Does anyone use ketostix? This morning it said I had ++...

Thanks for the tip but my cdc said no gum for me :( Lou n jen your both doing well! Jen im on day 3 too! Its feeling easy theb suddenly hard again! Xx

So far ive still not had anything. But I really just want to chew something! Todays really hard I think I smell all food cooking within a mile :(

I got home from work about 4 and have slept ever since. So have really failed with water today. I really can't stand the spicy tomato soup so I'm skipping a pack today. Just so tired today! How have you managed this evening x

Today was terrible. Been working so not been drinking my water. Got a bad headache now. Hows it going for you?

It felt like I was constantly drinking. I didn't really record how much though. good luck today. Stay strong and imagine a pair of size ten jeans fitting :)

Day 2. Is it normal to wake up with a terribly dry mouth?

Laurah I don't think 4 wedges would do much harm. Think you may have to cook the kids something your not too fond of. That's what I did today, otherwise I would have scoffed the lot! Good luck all for tomorrow

I think I'm too hungry to sleep. got a thumping headache too, gonna be so cranky at work tomorrow!

Oh may have to try adding some pepper. yeah a week of early nights, I'm sure the kids won't mind, and you can't eat whilst your asleep. It's just 4 days of struggling then ketosis takes over. You can do it!

How do you make it? I put it in blender and it was a bit frothy and had a powdery taste. Maybe I need to mix it differently. Ahh don't be too hard on yourself! It's a big change. What did you have? May not make too big a difference. I think you need something to do around this time everyday...

It was chicken and mushroom. Do you have a choc shake? Maybe once kids are in bed put your feet up with a hot choc shake. This is the time I normally munch on crisps. Craving so badly right now!

You can do it. Have a glass of water. Ive just had a soup and really didnt like it. Had a powdery taste to it. How many packs you got left for tonight?

Im struggling a bit with the water. Ive never drunk much so trying to drink 4 pints is really hard! Im starting to feel it now. My son usually has dinner around 4 so really dreading the smell!

Wow that is really good! I am coping really well today which is a surprise. Ive had 1 of my 4 packs so far so I have 3 for later when I get peckish. Just keeping busy today. My flat has never been so tidy! Hope you are all getting on okay! Any time you feel like you need to eat come on here n...

Day 1 - I've woken up more peckish than usual. I swear my body already knows its about to starve. im craving a cup of tea but I've settled for my water. Just need to convince myself I CAN do this.

Yeah I was so shocked, but has def made me more determined. I've mainly gone for plain stuff this time, chocolate and strawberry shakes, porridge, chicken n mushroom and spicy tomato soups. Just so I can start off on flavours I know il most likely be ok with. It is hard when making dinner for...

Yeah the more the merrier! We can all do this. well had a nice surprise. I weighed in today at 16st6 so already feel like I've made a dent and I've not even started! Puts my BMI at 42 so they want me to still do 4 packs and 1pt milk until I reach a BMI of 40. Although I think il skip the milk...

Yeah bout hour and half left to go. The worst thing im dreading is being more than 17st .. I stopped weighing myself after seeing the 17! Think I may invest in digi scales though as seeing the pounds go will keep me going! ( I hope!) I know it tastes foul black! I like my sugar too. Is...

I think il struggle if I dont like a flavour so I think this 1st week willbe hardest as next week il know what to choose. Think the bit il find hardest is the drinking water. I enjoy my morning cup of tea too much!

Im really nervous now! Ive got work then meeting my consultant at 5.15. The last thing I need is to see my weight after a long day at work! But if its the last time I ever see it in the 17s then il be happy! Hows today going so far?

Yes one little day at a time. Sounds less daunting. It doesn't help that I'm the type of person who needs to see results to be motivated. Hence I normally give up after day 1. Think I'm going to hibernate over the weekend. Try to sleep through the hunger. (I make it sound too easy to myself...

Thanks for replying! I'm meeting my consultant for the first time tomorrow too. Yes it would be great if we could all buddy up. We can share the struggles together and maybe pull each other through. Jemma xx

Hi everyone. I hope you don't mind me posting. I am starting the cambridge diet tomorrow evening/Friday. This is my first ever attempt at a 'proper' diet. I am currently around 17st (not 100% as I have dodgy scales) and I am a size 22 at worst, 18 at best. I am aiming for a goal weight of...
