Well done, that's fantastic!

Gosh you are doing so well. Are you able to stick to it 100%? Week 1 is proving a little tricky for me this time around. I am supposed to start on step 4 as I had an op 8 weeks ago but I think that is overly cautious so I have been doing x3 products plus some skim milk (can't do without my...

Hi Aria, I am on my second go round too. Half way through week 1 of my reset. I have about 50kg to lose so I am going to be at this a while! Sounds like you are doing great, keep it up!

Hi there. I am taking a bit of a hiatus over Xmas. Not trying to lose any but focussed on not gaining any. Sticking to 2 products a day and 1 meal. How did you find your first day?

Hi there. Unless you have any medical issues no consent will be needed

Hi Jo and welcome. I'm on CWP too and 4&1/2 weeks in. I've lost just over a stone but have another 7 to go. Unfortunately due to the time of year there are some meals I can't get out of which has slowed my results in last week or so but I am hanging on in and resigned to slower losses for a...

How did you go?

Hi guys. How are you going? I am still plodding on but the scales are stuck at the minute. So frustrating!

TBH after 3.5 weeks, the shakes and bars are the only things that don't make me want to vomit ;).

How did you go today? Insert motivational quote about how it's not about never falling but picking yourself up here :)

Oh I do too! Always stuck between being super motivated and wanting to keep going to get those results and then 5 mins later I am trying to bargain myself into eating something! Arghh!

Ugh had "tummy troubles" since last night. Had to go out to lunch so had beef carpaccio with salad as a low carb, high protein option. Apparently it took my system by surprise. Have spent all day in the loo :(

Hi Nesha, nope you are allowed the savoury meals from the first week. Think it is only the bars that you shouldn't have until after the first couple of weeks. Sadly there is v little pasta content in the pasta I loved the tikka curry and spag Bol in the 1st 2 weeks but now i can't stand it :(

How are you doing today Nesha?

Thanks guys. Got loads of work lunches coming up which I can't get out of but planning to just opt for low carb protein options as the least worst alternative. If I can get through the next week I hope I will have broken through this weird 3-4 week itch thing I have going on. I swear it has...

Apparently it's ok to exercise after the first 2 weeks but hard exercise is not recommended whilst on sole source. In reality I think you should play it by ear. I've been pretty tired so not doing more than walking to work as usual.

Whoop whoop. First stone down - . Found yesterday REALLY hard. 3 weeks is about when I usually give in and yesterday all my hunger was back and I did NOT want a shake! When I got in from work, made myself a 2 egg no fat omelette with tiny bit of grilled chicken and 2 thin slices chorizo...

Well done, first few days are the hardest. After that appetite largely goes although I still get cravings in waves and sometimes I absolutely have to eat something but have been sticking to grilled chicken or egg so that I don't kick myself out of ketosis. Just had my end of week 3 weigh in and...

Hi Sweet, welcome and yes, that would be great. How have you found your 1st day?

Got through a champagne tasting evening with only sipping the equivalent of 1 glass champagne. Super proud of myself Scales have been stuck for a few days but hanging on in there. Awaiting official weigh in today but sure I have lost a stone in these 1st 3 weeks. Have a load of spag Bol and...

It's good because usually I am a terrible old lush

Got through the tasting by having a few sips of each glass of champagne and pouring the rest away like a proper professional (never done that before!) - didn't have more than 1 glass in total and a couple of slices of ham. Quite proud of myself!

Better today thanks although just could not finish the spag Bol sachet. Previously my favourite but today just bleuurgh. Got a champagne tasting to go to tomorrow for work which should be interesting as can't drink! At least I won't get drunk! How are you doing today Lady?

Strawberry shake Lemon & yog bar Dry fried chicken breast (Choc shake to go)

Feeling crappy today with bad headache dogging me for a few days. Big effort to drink more water today so don't think it's dehydration. Only way to find out is to drink even more. Feel I may permanently relocate to the loo! Husband got me a new set of scales with 1/4 pounds on it so that I...

. Take consolation that you can diet but he will probably always be a bully! #karma

So, I'm on Day 16 of the Cambridge Diet. I lost 7ibs the first week (was 100%) but was a teensy bit gutted because I had read so many people getting huge 1st week losses of 11/12 lbs and I have more than 8 stone to lose so I hoped it might be me! Lost 4lbs the second week (weigh in on...

I find they vary hugely. I am an hourglass (ahem - although you couldn't currently tell....) and I find monsoon stuff fits well but if it fits round my hips in m&s then it's huge around the waist.

Thanks Camplestar, I know what you mean about being in denial. I often think I have the opposite of that body dysmorphia thing anorexics have when they think they are fatter than they are - I don't think of myself as as heavy as I really am and am always horrified by pictures of me!

Well I made it to the end of week 2! Found this week harder than the first and had to supplement with some grilled chicken on a few days. Probably to be expected as I really should have started on step 2 given my starting BMI of over 42 Me, being me, insisted on doing step 1 with only 3...

Sometimes the solution is to be kinder to yourself not harder. You slipped up and that's ok. You got info from that experience which will help you next time. Sending thought hugs!

Hi Laura, yes I am, on day 9 of Cambridge. Dreaming of Christmas dinner (and of fitting into a smaller dress for xmas day though)!

Hi Laura. Following for inspiration! Well done on your loss.

Hi Ladies, can I join in too? Looking to lose 8 Stone 10lbs. Had my first weigh in yesterday and 7lbs down which I am pleased with but terrible PMS munchies today. I plan to dig out a dress I bought a few years ago from Monsoon, in grey and green silk which I have NEVER been able to get into...

Woo hoo 7ibs down although have the PMS munchies from hell today.

Aargh. Didn't get to breakfast shake until 5.45 pm today which means I subsisted on a glass of water and 1 cup of tea all day. Didn't give in though How is everyone else going?

Hi All. Thank you for your replies. Was super busy at work today so didn't get to my "breakfast shake" until 12 pm. Wasn't hungry though which is good. Have not been able to resist weighing at home and scales seem to be stuck! Formal weigh in is Sat lunchtime so fingers crossed for then...

hello all. I am new to minimins and on day 5 of Cambridge SS. I have a whopping 8 stone to lose but every pound down now is going to be a pound gone forever. Would love to hear from others to help keep me motivated and stop me from chewing the furniture!

Hi Aqua, are you still going? I started 5 November so I am 5 days in on SS. Doing ok although home scales haven't moved in 3 days. Hoping there will be a sudden plummet by Sat lunchtime when I have my official weigh in. Have a hideous 8 stone to lose to get back to ideal weight but super...

Hi Hannz, I am new to CWP. Perhaps opting for all shakes was a bad idea? I have only just completed Day 2 but have found that the variety of having a shake for breakfast, soup for lunch and either the "curry" or bolognese for dinner helps.
