    Let's try this again shall we?

    Hi all. Just a quick post to update you all that after failing dismally at 3rd or 4th attempt in April this year I'm having another crack and I'm doing it alone (no OH). Good Lord it's so much easier. I'm 4 weeks solid SS and weighing in tomorrow. Hoping for 6 pounds to make 2 stone in 4 weeks...

    Let's try this again shall we?

    Thanks for the support folks. I'd love to go it alone as I think it would work better but it's not fair for one of us to go first and lose all the weight, leaving the other person feeling fat & left behind.

    You make a good point twiggy. Already had a choc mint shake for brekki so think I'll plod on.

    Let's try this again shall we?

    I went really anti Cambridge last year after I joined a low self-esteem therapy group and I began to believe that I was setting myself an unachievable goal. To be honest I feel like I could do it on my own and Jo is off to NY for a week today so am gonna try again on my own till she's back...

    Won't go into detail but fell off the wagon and decided to enjoy my Easter and start again in a couple of days! :-(

    Let's try this again shall we?

    Day 12 and so far I'm still 100%. Jo had some more carrot earlier after another battle with the takeaway menu. Trouble is it got me really tempted! Not been able to stop thinking about Pizza and I've been invited to watch the fight tonight with Beer & Pizza! Argh!!!!

    2nd day - stomach upset

    Be careful about not drinking too much in one go or having 2 packs to close together. I've had some very embarrassing experiences before as a result of this!

    Let's try this again shall we?

    I think the best thing for me is to weigh in each week and just find out what I lost the week before. That way I'm always a week ahead of any disappointing losses and it helps me stay motivated to stick with it. Dunno how the idea came to me but it really works!

    Oh and MsJMC yes I did have the whole bowl for dinner last night. I found it very filling so I've bought a couple of them this week for when I feel really hungry.

    Let's try this again shall we?

    Well Jo lost 7 pounds tonight which she was a bit disappointed with and I think out of frustration she decided to have some raw carrot with some spicy salsa that was in the fridge. Not the worst cheat in the world so I kept my mouth shut about it, especially this was a substitute for the Pizza I...

    Back with a Vegence - Last time now!!!

    Congratulations ladies. My girlfriend and I also started on the 4th April after both losing a lot of weight in 2009 and putting it all back on. Fell into terrible habits last year whilst constantly trying to restart. It became the norm to stick to it during the day and then have takeaways when...

    Let's try this again shall we?

    Hi all, Day 7 no trip ups so far but boy are we struggling. Went for a workout this morning and went to a beefeater to sit in the beer garden with some friends straight after. The smells in that place were phenomenal and whilst I felt quite strong at the time I've come away and all I can think...

    I've got over stone to lose..anyone else in a similar boat? :)

    I lost about 4 and a half stone solesourcing and have started again with my girlfriend on Monday after putting it all on again. Have you tried to sole source before?

    Let's try this again shall we?

    Hi all, My name is Pete and my girlfriend Jo & I are starting from scratch after a significant weight loss on Cambridge and having piled it all back on. We struggled through Cambridge on & off previously for nearly 2 years and after a break of about 9 months we've started again. I...

    CD is overwhelming me all of a sudden...

    Hi all yes week 3 this week. Weighing in again on Saturday. Think 4 lbs is going to be a blessing if I lose that much this week. Docmel - exercise at the moment is off the cards until I lose some more weight and can actually enjoy it. Can't have a dog as in a rented flat but even when I had one...

    CD is overwhelming me all of a sudden...

    Thanks everyone. I don't think it's helping that this week I just don't seem to be losing any weight. I've had a couple of nights where I forgot/was too tired to have my fourth food pack. Would this cause me to plateau?

    CD is overwhelming me all of a sudden...

    Hey guys. You can tell I'm back at work now as I'm not glued to this site! I had my week 2 weigh in and lost 5 lbs. Jo my gf lost 3 lbs. Which puts us both on an even keel at 17lbs each in 2 weeks. Now this is going to sound a bit ridiculous but the more I dwell on it the less 5lbs seems to...

    Initial reactions to Cambridge Sole Source

    To be honest the thumping thing I don't think is much of an issue as we've never heard a peep out of any of our neighbours. You do get the occasional thump (I can particularly tell when the bloke upstairs drops the toilet seat by accident, which makes me giggle, that always makes me jump when I...

    Travelling

    I think unless you are going to be in places without running water then there's no reason why you can't take shakes and your cambridge shaker. I agree the soups are harder to do on the go but again if you've got access to hot water you can make them. I would pack all your sachets for the week...

    I've never got on with guitars to be honest. I'm definately a drummer and that's what I'd love to be doing again. If I was going to learn any other instrument though it would probably be the saxaphone. I played the clarinet as a kid and always fancied the sax and over the last couple of years...

    Week 1, Gutted day 5!!!

    Well reminded Martyn! If you genuinely want some thing to eat then I have found the best thing! You'll find mor recipes on here somewhere but get an oriental chilli soup pack and mix a very small amount of water and keep adding and stirring till you get a peanut butter style consistancy. Spread...

    Week Three weigh In

    Well done mate!

    Starting tomorrow .. any tips to help me along the way ??

    I'm drinking between 4 & 6 litres a day. Fallen short a few days but if you can handle peeing 10-15 times a day then drink as much as you can. My CDC said 2-4 litres for women and 4-6 litres for men. I'm constantly refilling my 750 ml drench water bottles from my brita water filter jug and...

    Week 1, Gutted day 5!!!

    My understanding in basic terms is that Ketosis is when your body turns to your 'fat reserves' for the extra energy it needs to keep you functioning. If you deviate from the diet with a sudden high calorie intake (compared to the very low calorie diet) you're body will stop using the fat for...

    First Week Weigh In Results...

    Hi all, Have been to our CDC this morning and have had our first weigh ins. I lost 12lbs Jo lost 1 stone Very frustrated that Jo lost more than me but I know it's because I've been sitting on my bum doing nothing all week whilst Jo has been at work in London doing lots of walking between...

    As long as it's nothing to worry about. Unbelievably there's no change in my weight today. Was hoping to drop a stone by my weigh in tomorrow morning.

    If I want to join in can I just post what I lose here after I've been weighed on a Saturday and that count on Wednesday as I'd rather keep it simple rather than weighing myself twice a week. Plus I don't trust my scales much as they were about 5 pounds different to my CDCs scales.

    Day 6 - Dicky Tummy

    Hi all, Before you continue reading I'll warn you this isn't a pleasant post. I'd rather not share this with the world but I will in the hope that someone can offer some guidance. I will bring it up with my CDC on Saturday anyway but was wondering if this is normal or not, I'm coming to the...

    Hi Guys and Gals, Thanks for the words of support. It's good to know that there is an online community of people ready and willing to offer the support and I hope I can do the same as the pounds drop. I'd rather not do it but it's difficult to resist weighing myself every morning on this...

    Day two done

    Hey buddy I started sole source on Saturday so I'm a couple of days ahead of you and I have to say yesterday was hard but today has been a lot easier. My advice is stay away from the TV tomorrow because all I kept seeing was food porn on every ad break so steer clear if you can or turn over for...

    Unfortunately not. Exercise and sport just really isn't for me at the moment. I've got a Gym membership with Fitness First but I'm going to freeze it till the new year I think cause I don't enjoy being there at this weight as I really can't do much. Once I've shed a few stone I'll be in more of...

    Initial reactions to Cambridge Sole Source

    I pretty much stopped all of these activities in my early teens. As I got older more and more of them fizzled out. I really want to learn to play the saxaphone but I can't afford one. Having had quite a musical childhood I do still really miss playing music. Especially the Drums but...

    Hi all, Thanks for you responses. I'm going to keep her sweet and tidy up the flat today I think. If she's back from work a bit later tonight maybe light a few candles and run her a bath. But I really do need something to break the monotony this week. Maybe this site will be enough! But I do...
