Thank you for the supportive words well Tuesday is the big night, You were so right he is not worth it if the weight puts him off, I am still dead nervous though

Greeneyes I felt exactly the same untill about day 10 my first wi I lost 7lbs but didnt even really smile i was so miserable, I was miserable because the only way I have ever cheered myself up is through food and I couldnt have it. All I can say is my experience at around day 11 something...

Ok so I have a date first one since my seperation, trouble is last time this guy saw me I was 2 and a half stone lighter :eek:. I have been ss for 6 weeks and lost 2 stone already the date was supposed to be tonight but I cancelled with a lame excuse, I just have this horrid feeling he will...

My results are start weight 184 wi tuesday down to 179 so 5lbs lost

YAY I had my week 4 weigh in on Tuesday and lost 5lbs bringing me into the 12's, I love this diet 4 weeks ago I was in the 14's. Now bring on the 11's :D

Well done Gem, Its so hard to get into the right frame of mind and looks like you've cracked it. I spent 5 months saying i will start on monday lol 3 stone later, I realised i couldve been at goal by now. Keep us posted let us know how your doing.

Sorry to hear so many of you are having a hard time of it, my oh forgot my birthday 2 years ago and I ended up milking it for ages lol and got a lot more out of it, but it does make you feel crappy at the time, and Gem your pictures totally inspired me and look at how much you have lost!!! what...

Thanks for that I have been ss for 4 weeks but had a blip last week when my son was in hospital and i didnt have any bars or tetras. I will test again in the morning

Just wondered i tested earlier and at first no colour change, then my son called me I got sidetracked went back about an hour later and it has definately changed colour I just wondered if it changed colour because it was left for so long???:confused: Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, Well after a very stressful week last week was quite pleased with my loss. Weighed in on Tuesday at 184lbs, so thats 3lbs off. i am right in thinking we post are losses on here?

Well all i can say is last saturday my son had to go to hospital unexpected, I wasnt prepared so ended up eating a lot more than you. Also my totm was on the Monday then wi Tuesday I was dreading it but still lost 3 lbs. So basically try to put it behind you but you must get straight back to it...

I think if its darker you are slightly dehydrated, not 100% sure though. I am sure someone better will be along to answer soon

Thanks everyone, yes the little one is fully recovered I got some tetras this week to keep aside for times like this. I woke up next day and got straight back to ssing, so it paid off.

Well I am very happy to have lost 3 lbs as I had no choice but to eat on saturday, as my son was in hospital. I had been ss 100% for 19 days, also this week is my totm so considering all this to have lost 3lbs is great :p:p:p

Thanks everyone he seems on the mend now thank god. Funny thing is I didnt even enjoy the chocolate, it made me feel sick and bloated so in a way I am glad I had it cos I know I wont be doing it again. In just 19 days I look back at how I used to eat and am disgusted at the amount I could put...

i am the same have recently been watching Britians best dish, and been making cheese straws for kids lol

It took me 3 days to get into ketosis, but I didnt feel great until about day 10. I agree the brocolli soup is EWWWWWW, have you tried oriential chilli thats my fav soup very nice, although I like the porriges and others think think they are rank so I guess each to there own.

Well yesterday was a bad day I have just done 19 days ss 100%, then my little boy has an ashtma attack at hospital I was starving so I ate....and here goes lol 1 small slice pizza 1 handful chips 1 small choc cake bar :copon: 1 dairy milk bar :copon::copon: I have wi on tues do you think this...

Great!!! my first week was ok, there are tough times but you have to stay totally positive and focus on why you want to lose weight. I bet by tomorrow morning you will be in ketosis.

Hi everyone well I had my 2nd wi today and lost 6lbs this week, so I am feeling great today

I have stuck to it 100% and lost 6lbs so thats 13lbs in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!! very happy with this

Congratulations, hope they are both doing well.

Wow rayven well done !!!!!!!! keep it up, my scales finaly budged think I have 3 lbs in 4 days not bad at all

This is just the best feeling isnt it, happened to me this week with a pair of trousers. Thanks for posting this its great to read really gives a boost.

Never had anything like that, but I have heard others saying they suffer with insomnia, I am the opposite sleep like a baby. Feel better soon

Thanks guys I will pack a tetra and loads of water. Have a good weekend

Hi there, Good luck with it let us know how your getting on, this is always a good place to come if your having a bad day or sharing an achievement, and even getting past day 1 is an achievement

I have been doing ss for 11 days now and have a 5 mile walk with my friend and kids tomorrow. Do you think I need to have an extra pack or just stick to the 3?

Hi there hows it going. I have managed to stick to it 100% very hard though isnt it. Hope your well Theresa

Yes me too I am ffffrezing most of the time

Hi tryer I am on day 11 and also have 4 stone to shift. All I can say is it does get easier, good luck with your weight loss

Aw what a lovely hubby you have, such a nice idea. Hope that bag gets real heavy quickly

Oh hun I know exactly how you feel. I was like this 2 days ago, I posted a I am so fed up thread. I managed somehow not to give in and now something just clicked and I feel great. Just keep thinking about your reasons for being on this diet, try to get a good few weeks under your belt. I used...

Hi so glad to be part of a team. I am trying to do ss for 4 weeks and have 10 days done amazingly. I have 4 stone to go and am hoping to feel more comfortable for the summer. Well my start weight was 14.4 and my wi day was on tuesday and was down 7lb to 13.11 so I was over the moon with that...

Oh I get this like little wobbles under the skin. My teeth felt realy funny first week too

1 I want to feel confident. 2 I dont want to be the fattest mum at the school gates anymore. 3 I would love to wear something nice and girlie and not shop for mens baggy tops. 4 I dont want to hide away this summer as my kids deserve better.

I think for me its determination. I have 3 children and cook for them every night, last night was a quick dinner because of after school clubs. It was pizza and omg I so wanted some, I just kept telling myself why I am doing this, is a bit of pizza really worth it and of course it isnt. Like my...

Wow thats fab well done

Well this mornng I woke and tried on a pair of trousers that were too tight at the start of the diet. THEY FIT quite comfortably :8855: I am on day 10 of ss stuck to it 100% and this is the motivation I really needed :bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss:

I have felt like that for the first time today (in 30 years) I hope it continues

Aw hun ((((hugs)))) this may not help but your both still young and people change hugely with time. Your partner may change how he feels in time, and as Jambro posted if you waited for the perfect time to start a family most wouldnt. Maybe have a nice long bath a good cry. take care xx

Well done Jambro, as for instore bakerys thats just not fair I went yesterday and the bread smells :sigh::sigh: But I would rather be slim than taste that bread just keep reminding ourselves this and we will get there ;)

OMG 3 stone!!! what an achievement, Well done such an inspiration

I know, I look back at what I used to eat omg scarey amounts. I think I am slowly learning to appreciate food more.

Yeah me too posted about it earlier as I started to panic lol I know it will shift just got to keep going, keep positive and it will happen. I am going to try for 4 weeks ss straight no cheats get it out of the way.

Try to keep a positive mind and take it day at a time, once you start to see the weight come off that will be a big incentive to carry on, as for the first few days just try to keep busy, maybe a good book in the evening. Keep reminding yourself why you are doing this. Good luck

Well I am on day 9 and have been in ketosis since day 3, but its not till today that I have felt great and just feel so positive. I was ready to quit yesterday but today something just clicked, funny really what 24 hrs can do.

I phoned there head office before I started as 1 lady told me it would be £50 a week !!!!!!!! I have heard of some charing a joining/consultation fee. My cdc has a flat rate of 1.90 per product tetras or sachets or bars, but she does come to me and we get on great so it's worth it, I also like...

Thank you everyone I feel so much better now and will stop jumping on the scales. I am more proud of myself like I said to have resisted the treats the kids are eating, just want to be in control for once. Thanks again xx

Good luck !!!!!!!!! let us know how you are getting on, keep positive and I will try to do the same. My scales are stuck atm so I need to try to keep going

I lost 7 lbs first wi :D but scales have stuck since Friday doing 100% ss, this doesnt bother me so much as I am looking at the bigger picture ( my very unhealthy relationship with food ) The fact that I have not binged means more to me. Just wondered though if the cd works for everyone or are...

Hi there, can I join you pretty please. My name is Theresa and I have just finished week 1 of ss, Gemma your pics are amazing.

Really sorry for your loss, hang in there I think you have done amazingly well considering ((((((hugs))))))))

Oh thats hard, but if you can resist what a result !!!!!!! and of course you can

Yes I agree they need a good telling off :copon:. Dont know about you but all the rest of my family are very thin so have no idea what its like being heavy :mad::mad::mad:. We are doing this for US to feel better in ourselves. We deserve this and being mums we should get a little respect is that...

Have you been drinking enough? thats all I can think of. Hope you feel better soon.

Well as you noticed in my very fed up post this morning I know where your coming from on this, its so hard doing ss without people shoving cookies in your face. The lastest is wait till you eat something youll put all that weight back on grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

I pay 39.90 for 21 sachets, maybe more than some but she comes to me and she is FAB lost 4 stone and kept it off for 2 years!!!

Blimey no way I could it. You sound so positive and you are so right if you can do this you have it sussed. Have a lovely evening

wow!!!! :eek: way to go, you must be so proud of yourself!!

I am interested to hear this too. I did atkins a year ago and there bars totally stopped my weight loss, so maybe it will be the same for me on the cd. I sure hope not not I am so looking forward to a bar next week

Looking to join a team just finished week 1 of ss Theresa

I dont think I will ever be able to maintain my weight if I aim for low end of bmi. I have been 10.3 before and felt quite comfortable there so I am aiming for 10. When I was 10.3 I always said I will never go over 10.7 whoops lol

Well done for getting back into it so quick, its all to easy to give into the little voices lol

Well I was very down in the dumps this morning, my cdc came over and after 7 days of 100% ss I managed to lose 7 lbs. I am feeling more positive now just needed a good talking to :copon:

Thanks guys, what would I do without this site???? well my cdc came round and helped me to feel more positive, I have lost 7lbs this week so thats a bid incentive for me, and I was wearing heavier clothes lol. Thanks again for your support Theresa

I need this today totally struggling, have my wi at 10.30

Ok so I dont mean to moan but...... today is my first wi and I dont feel at all positive. I know I have lost because I have stuck to ss 100% but its just soooooo hard, I love my food and have missed eating so much. I am very snappy atm I know I need to find something other than food to cheer me...

Day 7 for me and managed to stick to it 100%, my first wi tomorrow :clap:

Hi, You can have the shakes hot but dont add boiling water as it kills the nutrients, good luck !!!

Wow well done thats fab makes it all worth it.

Its quite difficult to find and only open mon to fri, so I would recommend phoning before you go to check. Also they gave me a discount for cash

Hi there, I did the atkins diet a year ago and just thought I would post on here about the low carb mega store, its located near wellingborough and is like a warehouse full of low carb foods. Just thought this might be useful to someone.

I know exactly how you feel lol, my three just had dinner now ther friday night treat of choc cake its a killer!!!!!!! but we WILL do this and be lovely and slim his summer xx

Wow well done you, that really is an achievement. I hope i have as much willpower this weekend. Fingers crossed for a huge loss for you on your next wi

Well all i know is for me, i started ss on tuesday by thursday i was in ketosis. So pretty quick as on monday I stuffed my face with all the goodies i could.

Oh this sounds nice, have a great time.

Hi can I join this thread I am on day 4 and so far all is going well

Thank you very much

My cdc mentioned this savory drink to me but I am not sure when you can have this from, I am on day 3. I am desperate for something savory and the soups taste a bit odd to me. Anyone know??

My favorite is apple and cinamon porridge I love this. Like the choc shake and still trying out the soups.

Hi there, I am only on day 3 but so far so good. I think you have to try to stay very positive, we can do this and we will do it. Just think towards the summer and if you stick to this how much better you will feel. Kepp going its going to be worth it xx

Lol KFC was my last supper too

Hi there, I am on day 2, its actually ok as long as you stay totally positive. I feel a bit out of sorts today but will remain strong, I know it will be worth it this time next week. My user nane is from my daughters favorite cartoon. Good luck and let us know how you're getting on Theresa

I think the shakes are yummy as well, going to try cheese & broccoli soup in a minute.

Wow well done you, nearly there !!!!

Yes this site is fantastic, everyone is so supportive. I am feeling ok for day 1 and plan just to take a day at a time. I found the porridge a little lumpy but totally scrummy. I am just constantly on the loo I am not used to drinking water at all. Good luck to us all, we can all do this and...

Well this is my first day on the Cambridge diet, my cdc came over this morning and she was lovely very down to earth. I was shocked at my weight and measurements :cry:I was inspired by her photos and she told me I could exchange any flavours I didnt like and even gave me a free tetra brik to...

Well done you must be over the moon I am just starting today so looking forward to next week

Thanks so much for posts that really helps. Steve I am so ready to do this, so hopefully I can get the first few weeks under my belt and then as the weight goes this will be my incentive to keep going. Thanks again

Aw hun sorry to hear this, My 7 year relationship ended 5 months ago and since then I have put on 2 1/2 stone, has it made me feel better, not at all so my advice is stay strong remember why you are doing this. Just wish I took my own advice

Wow well done I am starting tomorrow looking forward to my first wi and trying to stay positive

Hi there, My name is Theresa and I am starting the cambridge diet tomorrow. I am really praying this will be the diet for me, but I have a tendancy to binge when I am stressed. I have had a very stressful few months ( family seperation & daughter being bullied at school ) so in 5 months I have...
