Hi Jennifer I am doing Sole Source, so I have a shake for brekkie, choc tetra for lunch and a soup in the evening... I have been on & off for the last 4 months.. Had to come off plan for a few events ( I had planned these so knew in advance that I would be going back to food for a while ) so...

Hi Jennifer, Welcome, Lipotrim and Cambridge are similar if you do Cambridge Sole Source - which is 3 cambridge products daily..The difference is ( in my humble opinion) cambridge tastes WAY better than Lipo and also offers a greater variety in that you can get tetra packs and bars to drink/eat...

Lil girls.. they'd buy and sell you as the saying goes!!:D Hopped on my scales this morning and I'm down 2 so I've updated my ticker as I always go by my scales and not my CDC. We are going to do this Kat, so don't worry about it... 1 day at a time girl... losing, losing, losing ( as opposed...

:mad: had replied to you but the blasted system had logged me out so wouldn't allow my reply to post!! Anyway, lil boy is doing ok with the teeth, not affecting his sleep yet and I hope it doesn't either:rolleyes:, herself is potty trained with about a month and tonight she's having one of...

Hey Kat 100% with me too:) back into the swing of it now. In 6 pounds time I'll be 12st13, which I haven't seen in years:eek: Can't wait. Was out n about all day so just gonna put herself to bed and then have my last shake in peace.. How's your boys?

Oh well at least it was only 3 pounds!! I can do an awful lot of damage when I put my mind to it:D I'd be with you on the Pakistan thing..good idea about the treat motivation too although I'm not really a shopping fan but maybe when I'm skinnier that will change.. Never tried cooking any of...

hey Kat Happy to report another 100% day from me. How did things go for you??

Yeah we just need to take it one day at a time for a while I think;).. I started doing the couch to 5k today ( slowly build up to running 5k straight ) so hoping that will keep me on the straight and narrow. I don't tend to cheat when I'm exercising.. So this was my day: had my choc tetra at...

You lucky thing Kirsty... I'm aiming for 10st 7 and I'm bloody well going to keep going until I get there too!! Happy shaking:D Mary xx

That'll be great to have some support close by.. Even an hour to yourself can be precious ( especially during teething!!:D) So are you feeling ok about cambridge today?? Mary xx

:ashamed0005: girl I've done exactly the same, just haven't been able to stay on track so decided instead of picking here and there every day, that I would just get it out of my system and come off plan entirely.. Am back on track and have been 100% all day. I just really need to see the back...

Hey Kat Sorry haven't been online for the past few days.. How's everything going with you?? Hope you're feeling better;) Mary xx

Kat, that's bloody brilliant girl.. Well done. How chuffed are you?? I didn't weigh in this week as CDC's scales were on the blink so will have to wait until next week to get the official figures. Oh well.. Don't know if I'm down that much this week anyway as it's tom!! Will see next week...

Hey Kat Sorry haven't been on much over the past few days.. Dying to know how the weigh in went for you??

Well done Mandy.. You look stunning!!! Mary xx

Hi Emma Delighted to hear that you are feeling better hun, you are doing so well with a stone gone already. In no time you'll have another gone as well!! When are you due to weigh in??

Night night Kat Hope you have a nice uninterupted sleep and that babs does too!! Talk to you tomorrow hun

Hi Emma Hope you're feeling a little better.. Completely understand the comfort of food and the satisfied feeling afterwards ( well at least until the guilt kicks in:rolleyes:) You will feel so proud of yourself tomorrow morning for staying on track. Mary xx

Completely the same as you when it comes to the scales. I do try to only get on them on my official weigh in day but my willpower goes out the window at times.. At least on this diet though you rarely have a day when the numbers go up!! Used to hate that when I did WW years ago, would have a...

Hiya Kat Sorry to hear that babs is having a hard time. Teething is a nightmare for them and us:rolleyes: Delighted that you're staying so motivated, think you're right to keep away from watching others eat for little while.. I'm kinda at the stage where it doesn't bother me however, my hubby...

Good idea with having a bath Kat. Just get yourself away from any temptation and you'll be so chuffed tomorrow morning waking up and knowing that you stayed on plan. oh am from Cork:) Mary xx

Hey Kat Oh I hear you..I'm bored too and feeling it a bit today... Have talked myself off the ledge a few times. Used to associate Friday nights with pig out too, but those nights have helped me get to where I am now so I just have to ignore the calling:rolleyes: On days like today, I use...

I know, this diet is just great. I have so much to lose and I just can't be bothered with just losing a pound a week until I'm much closer to goal.. Roll on next week's weigh in :D Mary xx

Hey there Katie How's everything going for you?? Hope all is well:) Mary xx

Hey Kat Well done girl, you're doing so well and staying strong.. Didn't get a chance to log on yesterday as went to visit "granny & granda" with the 2. They know that I'm doing this though and have given up asking if I'm gonna join them for lunch!!:). Hope all is well. Will catch you later ;)...

You poor thing.. well you're well on your way now! I put on 1.5 stones after I had herself:( just couldn't stop eating like I did when I was pregnant. Was more civilised the second time round, but I'm bloody well getting rid of the weight now one way or the other!! We will do this Kat !!!!:D

It's not too bad, they both sleep through the night, and as long as I get my sleep I can cope with anything during the day:D Although my 2yo ( a girl ) would test the patience of a saint sometimes.. She's a 20year old trapped in a 2 year old's body:D I swear the things she comes out with...

I'm exactly the same... evening/night time snacker!!:) The water will definately help to fill you up and a couple of paracetamol should sort out that headache... What age is your baby?? Have a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old myself!! Mary xx

Hi Kat Yep I'm doing Cambridge SS ( 3 shakes a day). It's definately working for me, I have no patience whatsoever with up a pound, down a pound - not until I am much closer to goal anyway;). I did take a few weeks off at Christmas and a week recently but these were pre-planned so it was in...

Hi Nicki Congrats on your lovely news.:) Don't know if this helps or not but here goes: 1st Pregnancy - I ate like a horse. Put on 2 stone. Then put on another stone afterwards as found it very difficult to not continue eating huge amounts of food.:( 2nd Pregnancy: I behaved myself 2nd time...

Hey Yasmine, delighted to hear that all is going well. Onwards and downwards ;)

I'm doing Cambridge SS ( sole source), I have a choc mint shake for breakfast, a choc tetra for lunch and then either a veg or chick & mushroom soup in the evening. Just back 100% on plan this week after taking some time off at x-mas..

What a nightmare for you... Hope you feel better soon...

Hi Rachel I read your post and you're so hard on yourself. You remind me of myself. I was exactly the same until I decided that enough was enough and that I was going to lose all this blasted weight once and for all. Just keep telling yourself that you will do it and you will... There are...

Hi Felix Why not try the SS for the week and see if that gets you back on track... if nothing else you'll really appreicate the evening meal when you go back to the SS+. And the loss after the SS week will give you a great boost!!! ;) Best of luck Mary

Hi Jacquij, Welcome and best of luck with SW. I recently joined this forum too and am finding it brilliant to keep motivated. Do you have much weight to lose?

Hi girls, Am in the same boat, my little boy is just over 3 mths, although to be fair the weight that I have is since I had my little girl 2 yrs ago ( didn't manage to shift that before I became pregnant with himself!! ):family2:. I'm hoping that with the two of them I will be too busy to think...

Well done for getting back on track, you seem to be really motivated so that's at least half the battle :D I have yo- yo'ed on and off Cambridge for the last few months and hopefully I too am in the right head space to finally kick my excess rolls to the curb!!! Water, water, water and we should...
