I stayed the same this week but that's ok! I haven't been 100% on track for a while now and have enjoyed a few week treats! I did have a big win this week though. I put on my work trousers and managed to get the zip to the very top and button them up without feeling like I'm being squeezed to...

Hi! I've not been on here in ages because I've been so busy working and we were away for a family weekend too! I've not been completely on plan as still trying to enjoy the socialising and eating out etc but I have been making semi concious decisions to pick small portions or healthier options...

I haven't given up - I've been away for a week visiting family. I have been half on/half off the plan for the last week but did manage to increase my exercise! :whacky068: Back home now and changed my weigh day to Mondays and the result is -2lbs!! :woohoo:I have no idea how as I ate out several...

Tonight I have gone off plan (ish?) My other half has got a new job and starts on Monday! So we have had a Chinese to celebrate (Oh oh!) However I've had the least synful option- chicken and mushroom with boiled rice. It was delicious! I am completely stuffed and now have the "why did I eat...

I've found out today that one wholemeal thin can be HE B! So 5 syns in total for the burgers! :D

Thank you! Oh dear! Not very syn free at all then! Still... Has to be better for me than McDonalds and still within my syn limit - JUST! Haha.

Because the other half is wonderful he made homemade burgers! :eat: Does anyone know the syn value for whole meal warburton thins or can they be used as Healthy option B? Depending on thins value another syn free meal!

All back to myself now and officially off the nightshift for at least 2 weeks!:woohoo: Although I'm not sure I'll be too inventive on the dinner front tonight. I can feel beans on toast coming on! I've just had pancakes, bacon and mushrooms for brunch. It was delicious and even better syn free...

Weigh in day again! Not so great today, I stayed the same weight. I am disappointed but not disheartened. But equally it's not a gain! I am putting it down to being on nightshift all weekend. Even though I'm pretty confident I stayed within my syns I suppose I still am not having the fluid...

I've been on night shifts all weekend and hoping it won't effect the weigh in on Wednesday too much! Nightshift really does mess with the digestive system. If anything I've ate much less than normal but I know for weight loss that's not necessarily a good thing. A few days off now so back to...

Hi Vikki, I'm not sure how good slimming world online is as never used it and to be honest I'm just following the plan from home. I went to classes a few years ago and have dug out the books from them. The basics from the extra easy plan are :- Free food- fruits, vegetables and unprocessed...

Thank you both! So today I'm not having a great day. Not food wise - so far still on plan but today I got my bank statement and it is a very sorry state of affairs! So I've spent the morning tracking every penny I have (or had as it seems!) and seen Weightwatchers have been taking £12.95 a...

Well done on your half a stone! Keep up the good work x

Thank you Emmaline! Yeah, I just hate drinking but I'm trying to be positive and tell myself it's good for me - I can manage tea fine! So weigh in this morning and I've lost 2lbs! But even more exciting 7 inches from my bust, waist, hips and arms! I don't feel any smaller but the numbers don't...

Best of luck at your new school! You'll be great although I understand the nerves. I'm a midwife and when training every 6 or 8 weeks we moved to a different placement, just when you start to feel settled and feel like you kinda know what your doing! Your tummy will be better tomorrow because...

It's weigh day tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous. I really have been sticking to this all week but it hasn't felt like a diet so I'm worried the scales are not going to show a loss. I'll just need to weight for tomorrow I suppose! I think things to be improved apon is my fluid intake. I...

I've never been so pleased that over the last two busy days at work that no one has given staff chocolates! Walking past the desk and picking up a chocolate on the way I'm sure is responsible for at least a pound or two that I want rid of! My lovely better half has been making me lunch so no...

So today is my last day of annual leave and I'm spending it doing the house work and then going food shopping - very exciting but just what I need to get everything sorted and on plan! Working 12 shifts I need to get all my food organised and made for the next 3 days so it's the afternoon in the...

Hello! I'm starting today, again for the last time. I've done weight watchers, skimming world, Cambridge, 123 Terri-Ann diet plan and calorie counting and I am mad at myself! I throw money at anything that might make me thinner. But money doesn't buy will power and motivation and there lies my...

That's fantastic! Well done Lolly! I'd have treated myself to a cupcake too :D

Update time! I feel like I've not lost any weight in ages and feel like I've been doing this for too long. Why did I not just wake up skinny and toned this morning? I was feeling super positive yesterday and ever went for a run. Contrary to my beliefs I don't die every time I do exercise! I...

I'm back! After almost 10 days of Cambridge absence I've managed to stay the same weight. I've spent the last week and a half eating all the rubbish in sight. I kid you not I have had about 5 burgers and chips, umpteen bits of chocolate, take always and fizzy drinks. I bought two weeks worth of...

Just had my first Mango shake... :strikeout_button:

You will definitely lose weight with SS+ and the losses are usually great. As you're already tiny I can't even begin to guess what weight you'll lose but doubt it will be the big 10lb first week losses as you don't have too much to lose. If you stick to it though I am positive you'll hit your...

It must be good if you're having it again.Will need to try it soon! I've had a lovely day at work and have managed to keep busy today so sticking to the diet was easy. I met with my CC and got a load of products for my next few weeks home in Scotland. I'm determined that I'm not going to be...

I've not even thought about making a hot toffee and walnut!!! I've just had a hot chocolate for breakfast. Feel like having a snuggly duvet day on the couch with chocolate and cheese on toast. But I can't! Work at 2pm. CC at half 12 (not a weigh in, just picking up more products. Don't need to...

Sounds like you're doing really well,Kat. A positive attitude and keeping busy does wonders. I'm sure you will get below 100kg and I bet you'll feel great and wonder why you were ever afraid. Keep positive. You can definitely do it!

The last two weeks I've lost 2.5lbs both weeks. I think our bodies are just adjusting to the lower calories as well as if you are exercising it can sometimes make a difference. I told my CC that it's an inches week not a lb week! Haha just stay focused and positive. 2lb is still a great loss...

Hi Sara. Just saw your first week's loss. Huge well done. I bet you are delighted! It just goes to show that if you stick to it, it WILL work! I have only found a couple of products that I don't like but the worst of all has to be the tomato soup. BLEH! It's a bit of an insult calling it...

Hi Sophie! Huge well done on getting through day one unscathed and for making the decision to change! With three kids under ten you did deserve a reward at the end of the day you'll just need to try and find something else rewarding. I'm thinking of rewarding myself with "every stone I lose I...

Not 50 pizzas...just one, and a chippy, macaroni, ice cream and jelly and a ban and a Sunday roast! Haha Not all in one day though! :angeldevil: haha. I have no regrets. I enjoyed my time with my family. Anyway, today I am back on Cambridge 100%. I had a toffee and walnut shake, chicken and...

Thanks everyone for your support! Gran is still holding on to life just now but you can see her deterioration every day and can look different hour by hour. She doesn't want us sitting about waiting for her to die so sent us all away to "enjoy ourselves". . Which is much easier said than done...

Just an update - I have had LOADS of food. My gran was discharged early from hospital because she was so unwell and she wants to die in her own home. Understandably all the family is gathering in mass to spend as much time with her as possible as we still can. My gran is a famously good cook...

Doesn't this beautiful weather make it so much easier to stick to diets, keep up the water intake and go outside and enjoy a bit of gentle exercise! I know my mood is always better when the sun is shining. So I'm going to get my bum in gear and get out the house before I start my work at 2pm...

Oh no, Kelly! Nothing worse than feeling poorly! Although if you can't eat that must be good for the diet! Haha It'll also make you cherish the food you do have! Are you still on Sole Source if you're having lunch and dinner? Feel better soon X

Hi! . I have a very similar goal and want to do it by June!! Not too far away at all. Just focus on your goal and you can do it! Plus, there's no better motivation than your own wedding!! :D

Wow!!! Huge well done, butterfly! I would be beaming if I lost 10lbs! As you now know that it works if you keep going and stick to it. Just imagine how great you'll look when you go on holiday? It does get easier. You know it will be worth it!

Hi lizz! Starting Cambridge has been the best decision I've made. I do feel thinner and healthier just a few weeks in! My biggest tip is just keep busy. If you're busy you're not eating! And get a Bobbie that doesn't involve food - turns out all of mine did!!! Haha

I think the days are rolling into weeks very quickly and I have been finding it easier because of the routine but I know I'm not as strict as I was in the beginning. I'm doing well with the water but it's the sweet tooth that's starting to show itself for the first time in ages. Maybe it's...

I would just love to go shopping and pick up a size 10 and not need to try it on because I would know it will definitely fit! And I would love it even more to go to the checkout and not getting the judging "do you really think you can wear that?" Look!

It's a horrible decision to make! I'm definitely going home next Friday it's just making the decision if I need to go earlier.she gets out on Thursday and we'll just need to see how well she copes... Anyway it's weigh in day for me. I've lost a total of 5lbs in two weeks which is ok since I've...

I've been having slip ups too this week. Official weigh in tomorrow and I know it's not going to be good. I've been weighing in at home and it could definitely be a gain - especially since I'm getting weighed at 4.30pm! I've no idea what or when to eat and drink tomorrow! I've been back to 100%...

Getting compliments at work is fab isn't it?! I've had lists this week so feel it must be working although dreading tomorrow and weigh in with my several slip ups the last week. Back to it 100% now though! Glad you're doing so well!

I've cheated too recently Kat. At least you've been sensible and picked protein. I picked cake and it was delicious and just what I needed however weigh in tomorrow and I doubt it will show a change and if it does I'm sure it will be up! Having a horrendous time just now and thinking about food...

That goal is definitely doable Stacey! Keep posting and keep us updated. Just think how fab you'll look on holiday!

You would assume on Sole Source you would loss more but I've found that watching other people's progress I'm sure you loss just as much on Sole Source plus if you follow it properly.

Big well done Nikie! I'll be VERY pleased and even more surprised if I have a loss that fantastic tomorrow!

I've been 100% again today and feeling better for it. I had a lovely walk in the sunshine with the dogs and feeling positive. I've since got home and had a phone call from my parents to let me know that my Gran is getting home from hospital after a very long 9 week stay. Unfortunately she's...

I've been working and working and working recently. Out of 25 days I've worked 21. I'm not hungry but I'm exhausted. On the odd occasion I've had a very tiny chocolate egg or cupcake for a sugar boost to keep me awake and going. I have weigh in on Tuesday and I'm dreading it. It's not until half...

Oh no! Never mind. Tomorrow is a new day. Just get your head in gear and keep your goal in mind and I'm sure you can do it! I've had a few wee cheats this week and haven't really seen the scales move. I'm hoping not to gain but I'll just need to wait and see. We'll both do better tomorrow!

Hi Hayley! I'm just getting my midders weight off! I started as a slim size 10 and by graduation I was a chunky 16 and 3 stone heavier! Being a midwife if the best job in the world...even if it made me fat! Haha Good luck with both journeys. Here if you need anything!

By some miracle I've lost 5lbs this week and I'm very pleased! RuthG - 15lbs 3lbs lost, 12lbs to go. Crazyv - 7lbs Lizwhite29 - 7lbs Vixie -14lbs Soci -10lbs Slim - 10lbs Chrissyriley - 12lbs AndroidAmy - 7lbs Tiggemma - 13lbs - 1lb off 12to go! georgiasmum - 12lbs Confuzzled - 14lbs Amanda -...

Big well done! You can definitely do it and will be feeling lots of positive changes soon! :)

Hi! I'm hoping to go to weight watchers to maintain so please let me know if it works so keep up the diary! Cambridge is great for me because it keeps me in such a strict routine. I do like weight watchers but I find myself making bad choices and encouraging my bad habits whilst on it. I get 23...

Well done!I think I'm addicted to stepping on the scales. I stand on them every time I go into the bathroom! I know it's not good but I can't help it!

5lbs a week is fantastic and you should definitely be pleased! Enjoy yourself on holiday, you've earned it! X

That's fantastic that you're feeling the difference already! It's great because I know I think "It's working!!" Haha when you get little results like that it does give you the encouragement to keep going. I also understand Kat about the "big" shops. They think if it just hangs or has ruffles...

Hi Misswilma! Sounds like you're doing really well. I'm starting week number 4 and feeling really good! I like Cambridge because it's a routine and within the 3 weeks I've lost a stone and people can see I'm missing weight, whereas when I done weight watchers it came off so slowly no one ever...

You done well to avoid the cake and carbs - I would use the wedding as an excuse so I'm very proud you have better will power than me! Glad it's still going well :)

Now that I'm not nightshift and I'm awake enough I think it's time for another diary entry! So once I got into the swing of things in regards to nightshift and when to eat my products it was ok. I sleep and not eat during the day which does help the diet! I was worried that the cake might have...

Nightshift number 2 done. No pieces of cake for me! Cambridge only! :) BACK ON TRACK!

Oh no! Really struggled last night as I picked up the wrong bag and left my Cambridge at home! :( so I HAD to eat something. And when I said I HAD to, in my job if you're really tired it can result in making the wrong decisions which can determine life and death. But the only thing that was on...

As long as you work up the steps you'll keep it off. I guess it's a challenge to change the way we view and behave around food. If we change our habits we should be able to maintain. I was thinking of doing weight watchers to maintain. It won't even feel like a diet because you still get food!! Haha

I've had my chicken and mushroom soup which was very tasty as always. But I'm still hungry! I'm getting ready for work very slowly and of course my lemon yoghurt bar is the first thing that's gone in. If I'm lucky I might get to eat it around 4am.. my tummy is rumbling already. Nightshifts are...

BLEH! No! You can have him to yourself. Really annoys me when he goes around putting his sausage fingers in people's bakes then sticks his snout in it!! Haha They made bagels. I LOVE bagels. Although I've yet to meet a bread I don't love. Anyway nap time. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to dream...

My plan is to get to my goal and then swap to WW to allow me to maintain. And by then ww won't seem like a diet because it involves real life food!! Haha Keep your diary going through. It'll be good to see your results!

Well I feel so energized from going a nice 5k walk around my favourite park. :D Just had my first product of the day - can't believe I managed to get to 4pm until I had it. Currently watching the Great British Bake Off - a bread special. Why do I do it to myself!?!

I'll need a lot of toning too that's why I went for a high waisted, hold me in one! My plan for staying up as late as I could work - I've only just got up! Haha. I usually go for a prenightshift nap around 3pm but not sure if that would be completely ridiculous! So, I'm going to finish watching...

My goodness staying up late does funny things to you! I've just ordered my very first bikini! It's a high waisted vintage style one (gorgeous and should hide the wobbly bits!) and size 12! Hopefully this will be my thinspiration to get into and look sexy and feel good in it for my mini spa...

Just draw a line underneath it and start back tomorrow, Anne. I'm in the same boat as you all and I'm so worried about "normal" eating once I start to work up the steps. Will I have forgot my bad habits? I'm hoping Cambridge is going to teach me control. I'm determined I won't put on weight...

I enjoyed those eggs far more than the tuna! And I'm very proud of myself for resisting the Warburton's thins to put them on! Bread is one of my true loves in life. I have (had) it with everything! I miss your soft, bready goodness but you're a big reason why I put on 3 stone in less than a...

That's a great loss! Glad you've found your motivation! You can definitely do it. It's amazing that you've lost half a stone in a week!

I'm going onto night shift tomorrow and to get into a nightshift mode I am trying my best to stay up as late as possible. I'm also trying to decide when to have my products tomorrow because I'll be awake for more than 22 hours come Friday morning. I think I might need to do SS+ in order to...

Busy is good! It would love to be really busy all the time. I've had 3 days off and I can't wait to be on nightshift tomorrow so I can be busy! SAD! Who looks forward to a run of 4 nights over the weekend!? I'm glad it's just reflux and nothing to serious - although it is annoying and painful!

I've been with mine 6 years! I guess I've got another year of waiting! Haha

What a fantastic loss Lou! Glad you're staying on plan - it's definitely working! :D

Nothing like a wedding to get you motivated and in the zone. Maybe I should start dropping hints to the boyfriend! Hahaha

Maintaining is still better than a gain! I'm sure you'll do the 5lbs next week and then you'll be below your target! You're so close. Chin up and keep going! (:

It's nice that you can go back and refresh your memory on your last Cambridge journey and can relive the amazing results you got last time! That can only make you more motivated. I've got no food in my house apart from the creme eggs in my cupboard (untouched!!) If I were you I'd have ate the...

Definitely yoga buddies! Can you recommend a good DVD or are you doing yoga free style? Haha x

It's difficult living with someone that has never had a weight issue. They always say they understand and try and support you but they never really do. Not properly. I wonder sometimes if my boyfriend is embarrassed about my body. Sometimes I think he is but mostly I'm sure it's me forcing my...

Count me in too! 12lbs would see me to exactly 11 stone which sounds lovely! RuthG - 15lbs Crazyv - 7lbs Lizwhite29 - 7lbs Vixie -14lbs Soci -10lbs Slim - 10lbs Chrissyriley - 12lbs AndroidAmy - 7lbs Tiggemma - 13lbs georgiasmum - 12lbs Confuzzled - 14lbs Amanda - 20lbs 2mnn - 5lbs Poko - 12lbs

I'm on day 15 and I've been doing sole source. I would be VERY excited to have some ham!

I hope you feel better soon! A tummy bug always helps weight loss though! Haha and you're doing better than me managing your shakes despite being ill. It all depends how ill I am but generally I send my boyfriend out for sugar and carbs to eat myself better so I'm very impressed with you!! :)

Thank you! It's about this time I struggle too. I always want to have my 3rd product around now but I know if I do come 8o'clock I'll be wanting something else. Part of me thinks I eat because I have nothing to do with my hands. Maybe I should take up smoking?! Hahaha I kid of course! I'm...

Cambridge diet!

That was really nice of her. I love the word thinspiration! I'm sure I'll be using it in the future! Do you think buying goal clothes helps? I might need to go shopping if it does! Haha

Haha! Thank you! I'm amazed at the inches too - 8 inches smaller in two weeks! :)

Well done! You can really see the difference :) I've lost 17lbs since January and you make me really wish I'd done photos before now!

That's me just back from weigh in number 2! I've lost 4lbs and 3.5 inches this week. One off the waist which I'm pleased about. Why do they not do muffin top measurements?! Hahaha that's where I need to lose it from! My consultant was a little more helpful today and is away on holiday now...

7lbs off is fantastic! And with a BBQ sounds even better and makes me even more jealous! Haha Keep up the good work! :D

Such good news! You'll look and feel great in Zante! Your OH is just showing off with that loss!! Haha I'm with you - I love the toffee and walnut shakes! And yoga! Need to be brave and book myself into a class.

What an amazing loss Kelly! You must be thrilled! :D Definitely doing the best thing by getting it checked out. Better safe than sorry as the saying goes! Well done again!!

12lbs in 2 weeks is amazing! It's not that far short of a whole stone!! Don't be disappointed. You didn't stay the same and you didn't put on weight. You lost 2lbs which is definitely worth doing! Stay positive and keep going! Each week you're a step closer to your goal!

I'm impatient too! I think "I've stuck to this 100% today I must've dropped a dress size!" If only! We'll see the results one day. Just not this very second unfortunately!

The wee witch that is my flatmate is away to bring home a McDonald's! She's not bringing me anything but I might lock her out the house until she's finished it!

You're definitely not alone! If I'm working it's easy. I drink my water and I'm not hungry. When I have a day off I can really struggle! It's not until I started doing this I realized how much my days drag without food but it's good that it makes me realize in the future how to control my eating...

Well, I've had quite a good day! :) Keeping busy is definitely my key to success! I went shopping, got some crafty things and spent the afternoon decopatching an Easter chicken who has gone on to lay some creme and kinder eggs that I've promised myself at Easter I can have one - if my flatmate...

Thanks Amy! I'm hoping it will. I've got my weigh in tomorrow lunchtime. Do you eat and drink prior to weigh in? I know that's silly but if I have a litre of water that could be half a pound!! Haha I have great plans for today. I'm going to hit Hobbycraft and find something to keep my hands...

It has gone quickly overall but the days sometimes drag! Did you do 11 weeks of SS!? That's very admirable! I'm hoping only a couple more weeks then I can start moving my way up the steps. I'll just need to wait and see what my consultant thinks on the matter!

Resisted the pizza! I had half a tin of tuna. As it turns out I don't like plain tuna. With out the mayo it's not worth having so the dog got the rest! I'll be fine tomorrow. My problems are days off so I'm sitting thinking what can I do to keep myself busy tomorrow! Maybe some window shopping...

Hi Nikie! It's fantastic you've decided to start this again and I'm sure you'll have great success. I'm on Day 13 and think I would have really struggled to get this far without the support and encouragement you get from these forums. It's so nice to know you're not alone! Keep checking in!

Mmmmm! Love a hot chocolate! :) But I'm hungry, really hungry. I'm trying to silence my stomach with water but it's not going down well. I'll leave it an hour and if I still feel like breaking into the biscuits I'll need to do SS+ today and have a bit of tuna or egg. Does switching between SS...

My weigh in is on Wednesday this week and then my consultant is going on holiday for 2 weeks ! So there's going to be a big difference in weight hopefully between this time and the next. You should manage 3lb a week easily!

Well, I done it! I caved and had a Samosa! So want to blame being stressed at work, extra tired, starving excuses but I can't. It was my friend's leaving do and they put on a huge spread and I thought "ok, only one!". I don't regret it. It was delicious and I had fun at the gathering without...

Hi Kelly, A couple of times I've felt kinda breathless with slight palpitations...it only lasts a few seconds through very periodically. I would maybe have your milk allowance as that can sometimes settle heartburn if it is that. Would definitely speak to your consultant. Or if you are still...

Good luck with your weigh in today! :)

Well, I've had quite a good day today! I've manage to drink 3 litres and stick to my products despite seeing lots of lovely chocolates on the desk at work! Another shift tomorrow and I'm a bit worried..because it's the weekend the lovely doctors bring in some "treats". Tomorrow is homemade...

I've only had the lemon yoghurt bars and I would honestly eat them Cambridge or no Cambridge. I quite like the chicken and mushroom soup and the vegetable soup. Still to try leek and potato...I might be brave enough to try it tomorrow lunchtime!

I'd prefer to go and see Captain America anyway! :)

Well, I've just had my lunch - oriental chilli soup. Thank goodness that was a freebie! BLEH! :eatdrink017: Anyway work is calling and thank goodness I've got a lovely lemon yoghurt bar to look forward to!

Hi Selphie, I know the feeling of sweets and chocolates floating around the work place - I'm a midwife so there's always a box or five about the place. By some miracle I've avoided them although if it was ferrero roches that might have been a different story! ;) I'm day 10 today and finding it...

It's funny you should say about having a bath for something to do.

Exactly - you've ate it and you can't uneat it so you just need to move on and focus on tomorrow. The weigh in is based on the whole week which means you'll have 6 days of Cambridge under your belt so I am sure there will be a difference in the scales! I'm coming to the end of day 9. Today has...

How are you getting on? Hope you're still going strong!

Don't right yourself off yet! The baked potato sounds delish and I'm sure you enjoyed it at the time so if you felt satisfied at the time it's not too bad. Don't beat yourself up about it. Draw a line underneath today and you'll be back on track tomorrow. You CAN do this. Believe in yourself!

That's not the end of the world Lou! You'll be right on track and I think sometimes we all need a wee treat to give us the motivation to keep going. Tomorrow is another day!

Did you ever find out Anne? I'm also wondering the same. It's a bit cheeky and depressing going to the pub and ordering a water!!!

Hi Amy! I'm day 9 today too and agreeing it's definitely the hardest! I've by some miracle avoided the fridge today. I then thought I've not had proper food for over a week so a nice, kinda healthy Thai meal would go down lovely. But I have stuck with my products and I know it'll be worth it. I...

I'm finding it hard today! Days off are definitely the hardest for a couple of reasons. I've moved to a new area so although I've got my workmates I'm still making friends, finding the places to go and things to do and unfortunately all those things in my pre Cambridge life involved going food...

That's fantastic! Congratulations on losing 8lbs...over half a stone!! I guess that ham sandwich didn't do too much harm! ;)

I'm going to the cinema tonight and was wondering if I had a small diet/zero would it effect ketosis?

My future. I've spent the last year watching my very overweight grandmother's health decline because of her weight and it dawned on me I would be following the same path if I didn't make a change. So I have! :)

5ft 4" 12st 2lbs and currently wear size 14 top and bottom. Unless the top has a high neckline it's a 16...big boobs!

I tried but the link doesn't work. X

Shutters

You're right, the weight losses on here are amazing. It really keeps me going, "if they can do it, so can I!" I'm getting into a routine with the products. I only find it hard when my flatmate is home and makes amazingly delicious meals with some always left over to tempt me. But I always feel...

I hope so. My plan is to do it properly and work up the steps. I'm trying to tell myself all of the people "they knew" went from sole source to "normal" diet in the space of a day... I hope! I'm NOT going to put weight on. I refuse!! Haha

I know I'm a while off being my ideal weight and making it to the lovely step 6 but..... If I tell someone I'm doing Cambridge they say "my friend lost loads on that but put it all back on AND MORE when they started eating again" Please say this isn't a pointless exercise?! I DO want to eat...

Today I am hungry! For the first time since starting I really wish I could make myself a crisp sandwich. I went into town to pay bills and passed my favourite pizza place. They sell your favourite pizzas by the slice so it's great for on the go. Despite my rumbling tummy and drooling mouth as...

I also hated the spicy tomato but choked down 3 portions worth through the last week to get rid of them. I honestly think that was the biggest challenge of my week! Haha I told my consultant today that they were vile and she gave me a free oriental chilli. Which I've heard on here is very nice...

Hi Kelly we have very similar start weights/targets and time limit. I'm on day 8 today and finding it pretty alright! Haha I just keep telling myself it will be worth it. I know it will. Found these forums a great support over the last week. Good luck!

I'm sure I posted here about the soups but can't see it anywhere which means what thread did I really put it on!? However, thanks for the suggestions. I had the chicken and mushroom soup and it was yummy! Also have the leek and potato and a free oriental chilli in the cupboard after telling my...

You can definitely do it. I've not really done any exercise so will try and do some this week and hopefully see a change. I might dig out the Wii fit too! Haha.

I could maybe talk to her if she let me get a word in! Haha. I would be thrilled if I lost 5lbs every week. If it's just a 1 or 2 I might as well do weight watchers and eat! Haha. It's going to be an "8 day" week until next weigh in. I'll persevere with my consultant just now. The reason I...

Thanks for the luck everyone! I'm not long back and not sure how I feel either. I've lost 5lbs and 4.5inches! Which I am obviously I am very pleased about, but I kinda wanted a bigger lost because I've stuck to this 100% but I'm still pleased! However, I think I'm more unsure how I feel about...

Jmc that's amazing! I hope it's still falling off!

I think BMI is a good indicator for health but needs to be taken into consideration with other factors such as muscle and a activity levels. BMIs are just one part of the picture really! Saying that I'd still like mine to be below 25! Haha

I'm at the end of my first Cambridge week and doing ok. I go to my CC tomorrow and buying new products. I like having soup and this week tried the spicy tomato and the vegetable soup. The vegetable soup is ok but the spicy tomato is absolutely vile. I've been making it into a paste with cold...

That's absolutely fantastic! My weigh in is tomorrow and I'm getting nervous. I bet you had a big smile on your face though!

Hi! I also can relate a lot to your situation. I swear I woke up and had put on 3.5 stone.But like you I've locked myself away and ate. But we've both made the decision to change. To feel happy, confident and sexy (and all the health benefits too) and I'm confident if you want something enough...

Hi Bubbles. We have a lot in common. Similar weight, NHS employees and hence why we are both finding it expensive! I'm also hoping to do Sole Source for two weeks to hopefully drop the majority of the extra weight then I can stop buying 21 products a week. I'm try to justify it by saying it's...

Hi Bubbles! How are you finding it? Saturday is definitely a day to stay away from the tv...it's ALL food programs. I never noticed until Saturday passed when I watch Saturday kitchen followed by Hairy Bikers and the Mary Berry preparing a Sunday roast was too much for me. I don't know why I...

10 a day?! You must be bouncing with caffeine! Haha. Turns out that although yes, I am definitely colder than normal. My heating is also on the blink which has clearly not helped matters. Last night it went down to -3°C! I thought it was meant to be Spring?! Anyway today, diet wise, is very...

You're doing sellIng. Reading your diary I can relate to it all! I'm on day 5 and feel no different. I've stuck to this 100% so hoping to see the scales change on Tuesday's weigh in. I'm so pleased to see you and Wes have both lost Weight in such a short time. I hope I have too. Also agree on...

I definitely feel writing my moans, groans and hopefully triumphs will help to keep me going. If I'm typing, I'm not eating! Haha Today the water isn't going down as quickly as usual today. However I will persist. Today, like the last two days the challenge has not been the food (or lack of it)...

I'm finding it surprisingly ok so far. Day one was hard as I had miss placed my blender and thought a whisk would do -it did not! Thankfully the blended shakes and soups are a lot nicer than their lumpy equivalent! Woke up hungry for the first time this morning. Will just need to take the day...

Thanks for the reply. I guess the sun might be out but I'll be looking out my woolly jumpers again! X

Well done on your first day Kelly! I also had the chocolate orange shake warm today..not sure I enjoyed it as much as I wanted to! Keep up the good work! X

Hi, I've been doing Cambridge for 4 days now and sticking to it without too much difficulty. However,yesterday and today I've been absolutely freezing! I've permanently in my dressing gown with a blanket around me. Is this normal? Thanks.

Huge well done. My weigh in is Tuesday. Feeling excited as I've not deviated at all..although I don't feel any different on day 4!

Hi Parga. I'm on the slim down for a holiday too. It's a big family celebration for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. My gran has booked 20 of her closest family and friends for a spa break. There's a ridiculous amount of swimming pools and I fear a swimsuit is unavoidable. Not to...

Well, I'm coming to the end of day 4. It's been a good day diet wise. I'm very proud of myself for keeping up the water intake as I am a self confessed water hater although I am coming round to it. What I find most amazing about Cambridge is that it's really made me look at my eating habits. I...

Hi! Just wanted to say hello to you and Kelly. I'm a day behind you. This is day 4 for me. We have such similar start weights and time goals. It makes me feel good that I'm not alone! Feeling quite good today. Like you I want to do some exercise but my consultant told me nothing more than a...

Hi Neil. I'm not on a weigh loss pill but doing Cambridge and just at the start of my weight loss journey too. I'm also new to the site so just wanted to say hello and keep going. It'll be worth it!

Hi Kat! I started this week. Doing ok so far. Not having anything but my products and managing to drink my water. I haven't peaked at the scales yet. First weigh in on Tuesday. You definitely have inspired me. Keep going!

Hello, Let me introduce myself. My username is Poko and like most of you I've been having a battle with myself,my confidence, my body image and my fridge. If I'm honest with myself the last time I felt happy in my own skin was 5 years ago. I was 17 years old, I was a UK sized 10 and weighed...
