Quick update. 100% on plan lost 4lbs this week and 9lbs last week that's 13lbs in 14days. So glad I'm finally "in the zone" wouldn't have go there without you guys. Xx

Well done guys! Day 11 for me 100% roll on weigh day. We will all get there I'm sure of it x

Had my first weigh in 9lb loss! Happy with that :-). How are you all doing? Xx

Well done girls! Xtracute1 it's taken me almost a month to get here but your right I'm here. Just needed a massive kick up the bum and a target as well as my dad commenting that I've put weight on, not to my face thank god I would have cried, and you guys spurring me on! Well done newgirl-x...

Massive well done on your weight loss! Hope I catch up to you soon! Xx

I suffer with diarrhea some days on sole source and then constipation on other days my cdc says that it's because of the high level of nutrients in the shakes. Day 4 for me today... hello ketosis my old friend! I forgot how "easy" it gets once the headaches and hunger pangs have passed...

You will definitely be joining us soon! Good luck x

Looking at may this year! I'm so excited. Just peed on my stick and apparently I'm in ketosis too...im a fat burning machine

Well done! At least you are on the wagon. I'm on day 3 and my horrible poorly feeling from yesterday has gone, no headache and don't feel hungry at all. I have between 4 and 6 Stone to loose and will be getting weighed on Saturday. I'm firmly strapped onto the wagon and hopefully going to...

Haha this is exactly how I have felt since as far back as I can remember. It just takes something to click in your head but goodness knows how that happens x

Last time I did vlcd I always get the darkest colour on the sticks. Just goes to show that everyone is different. Last time around u had to come off the diet quickly for surgery so didn't "fall off the wagon" per say but this time in struggling to get in the wagon. At least there are others...

New girl.. I know that feeling. I've restarted every day since January so your doing better than me. I'm day 2 today..feel poorly :-( roll on ketosis! X

I used a hand blender and it was lovely. Have taken me ages to "eat" it lol x

Oh god that sounds like torture! It may have been posted at some posts before but today I have mixed water flavouring and mix a mouse and put it in the freezer! Like frozen jelly... Amazing x

The results may surprise you x

I have ketosis sticks got them from eBay about £5. It may be worth you investing. I use them throughout to test what foods kick me out and which ones don't for ss+ as I'm a sucker for carrotts but they are not on the allowed list. X

I think ketosis is different for everyone. For me it's dry mouth, cold, deep sleeps, early mornings and no hunger pains or cravings. Getting there is the hardest but for me then it's plain sailing... Well kind of xx

So glad to see u girls have stayed on track. I've woken this morning with a new state of mind and so far nothing naughty has passed my lips. It's still early but here's to hoping that this will be my official restart :-) x

Oh guys u all seem so on track and I can't make it through a day? It seems so much harder this time :-(. I've used the last of the shakes I had left over from last time and planned to go it alone, maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I only had chocolate tetras last time nothing else but it's...

Well ladies I'm ashamed to say that I completely fell off the wagon last week so I am not expecting any loos this week. I am however back on day 1 and raring to go. I hope that you are all continuing to do well and look forward to hearing all of your success stories and supporting one another...

Oh dear not a good start. I'm really struggling. The idea of having a shake is making me feel ill and all I've had is water today . Perhaps there's another bug flying around? X

How are people's first days going? This was a bad idea with a hangover but I'm drinking water like it's going out of fashion which is always a bonus x

Thanks enlightenme2. Let's all hope we can smash these targets although mine now seems low nevertheless I will be happy with 14lbs x

My target is 14lbs. Best of luck everyone!

OK.. So I thought that perhaps a January challenge would be the motivation that I need to get back on the wagon and I am hopeful that others will join too!

Is it a cambridge challenge or just generic as I can't find it?

Clearly didn't read this before my previous post

Just reading posts and there appear to be a few of us planning on starting/starting again 1st Jan. Perhaps we should do a January challenge and set our own targets and report our losses to keep us motivated? Any thoughts? X

I'm ok so far. I remember from my last time on ss that the first 3 - 4 days were the worst and I could definitely eat something but it's not the I actually want it nor am I hungry.

It's so nice to be back!! I'm on cd ss day 3 and a repeat offender of getting to target then piling the weight back on. I have definitely said this before but this will be the last time I go through this! Hope you guys are looking forward to starting in January.

1st weigh in since getting back on the wagon. It's only week 5days but I'm 3lbs down onwards and downwards! How is everyone else getting on?

Maybe it's time for you to move up to ss+ I move between the two on days where I really need food. If it means that it stops you from falling off the wagon all together I would give it a go the losses are pretty much the same.

It's £25 a time and it's recommended that you have one per month

I'm already booked in for a facial and massage... Bliss! There's also a lady near me doing wraps which are supposed to release toxins and help with long term weight loss? Anyone heard of these or tried them?

Don't be peed off that's a great loss Lisbon! I'm day2 round 2 and feeling fine surprisingly! I'm off for a spa day tomorrow with my mum and off on holiday in 6weeks so I'm hoping that the dreaded swimwear shame tomorrow will keep me motivated till holiday! I'm glad everyone is doing well...

Hey guys so glad I read this thread. I'm afraid I'm one of the guilty ones who has fallen off the Cambridge wagon so avoided the site in an attempt to ditch the guilt. It's not working and I am officially back in the zone only on day 1 tho never thought I would have to endure the 3day curse...

So after a disasterous Feb challenge where I had to have my gallbladder removed I'm back with a vengeance and ready to shed these pounds. Good luck guys! RuthG-15lb* 3lbs lost - 12lbs to go. Lizwhite29-10lbs* KiwiChan-10lbs* 3.5lbs lost - 6.5lbs to go Minnie64-14lbs* Callumsmummy-14lbs*...

I didn't want to read and run but not sure what to advise! Perhaps it's just your body adjusting to a new diet? What did your CDC say?

I switch from ss to ss+ whenever I feel like it and overall I haven't seen any difference in my weight loss. I made a curry on ss+ and it really helped tide me over.

Well thankfully I didn't cave (or choke him with his chips). Been so busy today that haven't even thought about food. I totally agree that the thought of going through day three of withdrawal from carbs is not worth the cheat. Day 3 was by far my hardest! Keep going guys we will get there

I'm cracking up my partner just ordered burger chips and garlic bread feels like he has been eating it for hours the smell is unreal and have an overwhelming desire to ram it down his throat! I must not give in :-(

Not the end of the world draw a line under it and move on. Just be careful that u don't end up binging now (been there done that).

Good luck with whatever u choose to do we will all get there in the end I'm sure of it.

I tried this after ur post and it was delish. I have even tried using it with ss+ I used my protein allowance with chicken and grated cauliflower so it was like rice it was amazing and was like a huge meal. Think ur brilliant idea will really keep me going!

Have u looked at exante? They r cheaper than CD. My friend did exante and had similar results. I need my consultant at the minute but I've looked at switching once I'm close to target.

Well done jellibelli ur doing really well, everyone is! I will get to target this time nothing can stop me, I'm a woman on a mission :-)

I'm so impressed with how well everyone is doing everyone I know who started ww or sw have all fallen off the wagon already yet the Cambridge dieters seem stronger than ever!

I'm doing ss but jump to ss+ when I feel like I need to chew something. I do quite well maintaining but have never got right down to my actual target on any diet I'm hoping that this is the last time I do any diet then I can move on to just maintaining. I have lost 21 lbs so far and still have...

Hey guys hope u don't mind me joining in. Been reading through posts and u are all so motivational. I'm a restarter after falling off before Christmas only gained 2lbs after 5 weeks off and manage to shift 5 in the last two weeks. Week three weigh in 2moro can't wait. Keep up the good work...

I have been on CD for 9 weeks now and since week 2 have had a meal after every weigh in. I loose approximately 3lbs a weeks and find that I can get straight back to 100% after my cheat meal. Ive lost 26lbs so far so on average loose a stone every 5 weeks. CD state that you loose approximately a...

Hi Mandy. Ive read a post on here previously about alcohol and its a big no no and can cause serious damage!! Id avoid it completely my friend did lighter life a few years ago and had a drink about 3/4 of her way to goal and got seriously ill vomiting dizzy and really unwell in general so I...

Oh dead sounds like u have had a rough day. Im gonna be straight with you... right now I would not blame you for ordering pizza and having a pig out but isnt that why you are where you are today coz it sure as hell is why I am. Everyone has bad days but you need to push through this. I cant...

Well done guys your doing well 2days down already and sounds like u are both going strong. Family and friends will ways be a nightmare ive had a row with a really good friend today due to me missing our regular dinner date. She will get over it though and I will be slim lol. Keep going guys !!

Hey guys. Good luck on your journey. Andrea the feeling will definitely pass and once it does its so much easier. The fact you have cut out lots of carbs already will hopefully make your first few days easier. I was the opposite and had a huge bing before I started and my first 3-4 days were...

Well done!!! So hard when your trying to rationalise in your head having food/cigs. How long have you been on CWP?

I stopped while ago now and feel 100 times better for doing so. Stopping was one of the best things I did apart from CWP. The cravings are always going to be there hun. When I have days like that I think about all of the effort that I have put in so far and question if all of my achievements...

You can get through this. Remember how you felt on the first evening when you won the battle against the cravings. We all get cravings at some time or other but the food will still be there when you get to goal and you can have it all then (in moderation of course). I know how your feeling I too...

Can I join? Id like 14lbs this month :-)

I started 14.1 and lost 7lbs first week so im 13.8. My first target is 10st (im 5'3") but ideally would like to be 8.7. Small steps and we will all get there xx

Well done on your previous weigh loss!! This diet is hard but the results are great and there is always plenty on support on here. Good luck keep me updated on how you get on xx

I know this is personal but how much are people wanting to loose?

Gosh im totally opposite. Everyone at work and the people that I come into contact with most family friends etc all know that im on Cambridge. Ive had all of the comments and blah blah blah but it's motivated me to show them all that it does work and I can do this!!

Hes eaten ever last bit *thank god*. Wasnt even tempted to steal anything. Im struggling with the shakes they are making me feel sick. Bring on next week for the bars yum yum x

Ive had water flavouring since week 2!! Seems a lot of CDC's are doing different things. Im struggling this weekend find weekdays so much easier. As we speak my OH is having a kebab, I dont even like kebab but it smells delicious !!

Yeah sorry I meant week 3. Some people have them from the start tho x

Marie my CDC told me I cant have any bars till week 2. Seems that CDC's all have different views on the lemon bars. X

Hey guys im on day 5 too!! I had my official weigh in today (early due to bank holiday) and lost 7lbs!! Over the moon... all the hard work really does pay off. Cant wait for bars on week 2. Xx

Hey guys I survived around 10 weeks last time. Thinking back I only fell off the wagon due to my cdc going on holiday for three weeks. Without the motivation from the scales I lost my motivation all together. Im hoping that this is the last time I do this diet lol. I decided to go with a...

Hey guys can I join?? Im on day 1 and this is my second try on Cambridge.

Ahh thank god!! I am feeling exactly the same 9lb gain after 3 week holiday and can't get back on it at all. I just can't understand it! We know it works so where has our focus gone :-( Xx

Help!! Just tested myself with my ketostix and they suggest that I'm out of ketosis!! I haven't cheated at all but did switch to ss+ yesterday and had a 2egg omolette with 80grms of green peppers. Could this have caused my lack of ketosis or are the sticks wrong :-( xx

I want this to be my last diet!! Then new way of life. I know that we can all do this! X

Lol don't be scared. We all have good days and bad days but the results are really worth it!! Definitely recommend coming on here to find inspiration or just to have a moan. First few days are the hardest then it kinda just becomes a routine. Good luck!!

Phil your doing amazing!! Total inspiration. Keep going and u will be at target before u know it! X

Totally gutted that I have no WI this week :-( how is everyone getting on? X

I'm getting on fine. No hunger pangs but the occasional craving. Don't get weighed till Monday 17th so fingers crossed for a big one :-) x

Oh my god!! Well done! Bet that's great motivation to keep going! X

How did u do??

Good luck!!! Fingers crossed for u! X

I hope so she's away next week so hopefully when she returns I will have a mega loss :-) when's ur WI? X

Well been for my WI and only lost a pound but hey ho thats 15lbs in 3 weeks so I'm happy with that :-). Bring on another week!

Sorry

Yeah start weight was 13 :-( x

I'm on my third week and will be my third wi tomorrow so excited. Lost a stone so far 2 more 2 go!!

Well done. I made spag Bol the other day for friends and it smelt amazing but not one bit passed my lips and that made me really feel like I can do this!

Once ur in ketosis u usually stay there unless u cheat. I was in on day 2 and only had symptoms for the first day. Still get hunger pangs every now and again but I just drink more water. If I really can't get rid of them with the water I switch to ss+ but only had to do that once. It honestly...

Yeah it's totally normal to be lighter on a morning. As the day goes on u eat and drink etc so u tend to weigh a bit more. I always get weighed the same time every week and have so far resisted the temptation to get on the scales at home. Last weigh in tomorrow for two weeks with my CDC as she...

Hi michywoo I'm not sure about the panic feeling maybe it's more about anxiety for your weigh in perhaps? Maybe speak to your CDC see what she says?!I often feel light headed especially on a weekend when my normal routine goes out of the window but I know it's just a sign that I need my next...

Everyone is doing so well and it's so motivational reading everyone's journeys!! It's my third weigh in tomorrow and had another good week so hope that's reflected in my loss! I'm definitely starting to notice changes now in my clothes too so that's always motivation that it's working!

How's everyone doing?

I was in ketosis from day 2 (according to my ketostix) but I'm almost 3 weeks in now and I'm still feeling extra cold!!

My first weigh in was great lost 7lbs and really kept me motivated for my second week. I had My second weigh in on Tuesday and lost another 7lbs so that has kept me motivated again for this week. It can get really hard but the results are great and so worth resisting all the cravings. I have...

Michywoo I had the same .. Urm... Symptoms as u on day two but it soon passed and my CDC said it was just my body adjusting to the vitamins etc from the shakes!

Well done everyone who is just starting out and good luck! I have been on the plan for exactly 15 days lol. I have an amazing CDC who is there for me all the time to answer any little questions that I have. The plan really does work and despite the cravings , which are inevitable, the weigh in...

Hi guys I'm on day 6 of the plan and had my first weigh in today 7pounds gone forever!! I'm so pleased makes it all worthwhile!! Good luck to everyone just starting out and keep up the good work to all those who are doing so well!

Well Done to all of you guys !!! I'm on day 11 of lipotrim now but ive buggered it up both today and yesterday i had a cheese toastie today and a pizza yesterday :cry: the gravings just took over me and before i knew it i was eating the pizza (it did taste good though)......but after my little...

I'm on day 9 of my LT journey and i'm really starting to strugle. im craving every single food possible, even things that i don't like haha. I'm determined to stick to LT till i at least loose a stone 1/2 before i come off LT but im finding it hard to focus. any help and advice would be really...

Well done to everyone on the LT diet ! your all doing fabulous. I'm on my 5th day and lost 5lbs so about a pound a day. who ever has come up with mixing peppermint tea with the choco mix is a genious its absolutely delish!! keep up the good work guys and keep posting as it keeps me going too...
