But I don't regret...

    Didn't get to post yesterday. Didn't have the best day but it is fine because I lost 3lbs! Weighed myself a day early as didn't think I would get the chance to this morning. Really happy with that, as I can tell I have lost weight. Now at 10st 7lbs and so would just like to get this last 7lbs...

    Scones with clotted cream and jam.. They sound amazing! Proper picnic/holiday food! Hope you enjoyed! And burpees are actually my idea of hell, they are 100% the hardest thing on the planet to do. Well done!!

    Woooo, 6 days into this and I'm feeling great. It just goes to show what nutrition, water and a little bit of exercise does for you! I have been having particularly tough days as well (studying for finals + work is a nightmare) so it would have been the total opposite if I hadn't got my act...

    Thanks Els! I totally agree - I think the longer you go, the easier it gets. It's only been 5 days but already I'm finding it easier to say no to cravings/temptations. I also agree with planning nights out, I think as long as I know exactly what I'm doing and keep busy they should be fine...

    Thanks so much Els! You are totally right - I did have a good day. I need to remember that I don't have to be perfect to be good! I would love to just be able to have one chocolate bar, but really don't trust myself, not at this stage anyway. And from lots of health blogs etc I have read, it...

    Had a bit of a wobble today. I had been battling with thoughts of eating chocolate and binging all day - I'd had a hard, long day at work and times like that I would usually reach for the ready meals and galaxy.

    Thanks Mary - I'm trying to cut out refined sugars so working on that at the minute. I eat a lot of fruit so will try and cut back on that once the refined stuff is gone! I didn't know prunes had added sugars though, nightmare as I love them. Thanks for the heads up :)

I woke feeling really bloated and grim from my extravaganza the previous night, and was just trying to drink loads and loads of water to counteract it. Was up 1.5lbs on the scales, so thats making me determined to lose that within the next few...

    Looking for my slimmer, happier self.

    Glad your feeling better, you really sound motivated! Haha I feel the same about the mango shake. Apparently its nicer in the mix-a-mouuse but I don't want to take chances!

    Also, just read through my record card and realised I have lost a total of 7 inches not 5! 2 inches off waist, 2 off hips (woohoo! thats the danger area), 1.5 off chest, and 1.5 off thighs! Also realised that my right arm is bigger than my left arm, and my right thigh is bigger than my left...

    The epic journey begins!

    Hey Soph - found your diary! Well done for getting through your second day, thats awesome! Just think.. these are the worst few days. It gets so much better from here out! And I bow down to you for having so much restraint with your kids food haha, I know I find it so difficult not to pick at my...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Looking back it wasn't a 'little' treat haha.. suppose I'll have to get used to the fact that my nice, slimmer body can't handle the sh*t I used to put it through! :p And your very right about my colleague, I said my piece about the fact that I know a lot of people do diets like this and end up...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 18! Today has just been an absolute emotional roller coaster! Work is a nightmare, one of my colleagues is crazy! She also tried to tell me today that 'fad diets like CWP don't work, people lose all the weight then put it back on, they should just lose weight through healthy eating and...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Well congrats for getting through the first day, you did so well cooking dinner for everyone! I am grateful I live alone so don't have to cook or have goodies for the rest of the family in the house. Will be another story when I go back home for the summer.. but we'll get to that when it comes...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Thanks Sophie! And that's exactly me! But I'm trying to get into the mindset whereby I allow myself something I want to eat, ie a planned meal, but tell myself it's just one meal weekly and then get straight back onto it! The idea really is that I don't get to the point where cravings get too...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 17 :) Had an ok day. Felt very tired and lethargic again today though, and dizzy at times. Pretty hungry aswell. Not sure why this is still happening - will speak to my consultant at weigh in tomorrow and see what she thinks. I assume it's just my body getting used to such rapid weight...

    Step 1 Sole Source Cambridge Weight Plan- Weight Loss Diary 2014

    Just read through your diary CDRome, and you have done so amazing! So much determination for sticking to SS for as long as you did, and amazing that you knew when to listen to your body on weeks 9 and 11 to do SS+.. I have a feeling I would have caved and cheated when I knew I was struggling, so...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 16 Woke this morning and just felt really weird - kind of lightheaded, kind of weak. Also felt hungry which is strange - not felt that for a while! Not sure why as I've been 100% for the last 3/4 days. I'm sure it will pass though. I have a really busy day today to catch up for the bank...

    Day 15! Day 15 eh, now that does seem like a long time! Over two weeks! And I can definitely feel the difference in myself - feeling loads slimmer and just all round healthier :) today has been fine, nothing much to report. Although I keep waking super early, which I think is because of the...

    Looking for my slimmer, happier self.

    Hey Poko. So sorry to hear about your loss, and I agree with everyone else: you'd have regretted it if you didn't join in celebrating your Gran's life with the rest of your family. And you know that you'll be able to get on with CWP as soon as things have emotionally settled down a bit. Just...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 14.. again! Last post I swear! Just wanted to post that I made it! 100% today and I'm so happy I managed - feeling quite triumphant :) I know that I can eat the chocolate if I want.. But I'm choosing better options to enable me to look and feel my best for when I next see OH, Mum and when...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 14.. still Ahh I'm having massive cravings for chocolate. Well, not even cravings. Everyone in my house is eating Easter related things, and are watching Hop - a whole movie about easter eggs! I have an easter egg and some mini maltesers bunnies to eat but I know I can't. I just want to! I...

    Day 14 :) Hooray, the dreaded night shifts are over! :D as 100% yesterday and will be today. Just about to make myself a nice warm mint chocolate shake for breakfast. I have been making the mistake of adding boiled water to my shake rather than just warm - I learned that using boiling water...

    Day 13 Soooo as everyone already probable guessed (well, me, as I'm the only one who posts here haha) I did overindulge on my lunch out! Well, it started on the morning when I woke. I had already kind of decided in my head I would be eating a lot today so thought ahh its an 'off day', so ate...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 12 Ahhh having such a moral dilemma about today!! Woke up feeling strong, and when I got on the scales they read 11.0 (therefore I assume my scales are around 3lbs different from my consultants, due to time of day and different scales). And I just thought, you know what, I really don't want...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 11! What a day! Felt so many different things today. Woke up bright and early 45 minutes before my alarm this morning! Not sure if it's because I have been having pretty early nights or if my energy has kicked in due to ketosis, but certainly felt good this morning! Went to work and had my...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 10 :) 100% day today! Felt a bit.. lethargic. And weak. Not hungry or tired as per say, but just.. weak. Took so much effort to do anything! But have put it down to ketosis kicking in well and truly. Also had diet breath (eww.. good think i'm in a long distance relationship) and felt a bit...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    Day 9 :) So I'm going to number the days and still count the days I was off plan. Because saying I'm back at day 1 isn't really a true reflection - I had a blip and got back onto it as soon as, and my weight at this point reflects 9 days, not 1. Also, weirdly enough, my weight still hasn't...

    Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

    And she's back! First day back on the wagon went well :) Although, something strange happened. I jumped on the scales this morning to see what negative impact my naughty weekend had, and my weight was the same as when I last checked last Thursday morning!! How odd! I don't see how that can be...

    Ahhhh.. ultimate confession time. As some may have guessed by my lack of activity in the last few days, I had fallen off the CWP wagon. Well and truly! I'll walk through the (painful) experience and put it in my diary where I have gone wrong.. Friday 11th April Started off well, had a Cambridge...

    Drum roll please... Day 3 complete! And easier than expected! By this point I thought I would be having massive headaches and be absolutely starving all the time, but I haven't really. Had a few hunger pangs and the oncomings of a headache, but nothing some water didn't help. On today's menu was...

    Day 1 - Officially done! So happy! I finished day 1.. although it did seem like the longest day known to man. I had the day off work so didn't actually do anything, just lazed around watching telly in a very lazy way. Had my first shake (strawberry.. surprisingly nice!) around 11am, then another...

    Hellooooooo! I have finally done it! Committed to the Cambridge diet, and I am really excited/nervous to start. Decided to start my own little diary on here to help me keep track of how I'm feeling etc, as blogging is something that has helped me in the past. I will warn you now - I like to blog...

    Aww thank you ladies! I will try not to get too caught up on it but it's hard not too sometimes! Feeling bad today as I overate by quite a lot.
