    Losing focus...

    Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, if I'm ever feeling weak I remember that doing the Cambridge Weight Plan is a choice, it's a choice I made because when I reached 16 stone again at Christmas i started hating getting ready to go out anywhere because I knew I'd have to try and find...

    Step 1 Sole Source Struggling

    If you can just have an early night! I'm now on day 14 and 13lbs lighter! It's so worth getting through all those tough early days! The way I look at it the longer I spend messing about, stopping and starting, cheating and blipping I'm just prolonging the misery of not eating proper food lol of...

    Good luck Codex! I'm on my 3rd/4th attempt but REALLY going for it this time. Had a really good first attempt losing 50lbs over 4 months but I needed a good break to clear my head and get stuck back into it. My tips would be give this first attempt everything you have got, once you start...

    Does anyone else do this?

    Hi all, I'm contemplating turning my back on The Cambridge Diet once and for all. I'm stuck in this rut of binging on all the foods I've missed while dieting and then feeling depressed and guilty then doing the diet all over again until I've undone the damage but never really tackling the...

    Things sure have changed around here!

    To be honest I used to find the SS forum really boring and quiet. I agree wholeheartedly that there are tons of fab posts and words of wisdom but I don't really think this is the kind of place to ask can I get away with eating when this diet is all about not eating! It doesn't take a genius to...

    I just don't know what to do!

    Thanks for the support everyone! Ah Em it's so tough to face CD again I've had a few half hearted attempts since my first attempt but usually failed on the 2nd day but I'm going strong and feeling good this time. I've had a real good talk to myself because I've maintained at least two stone of...

    Help stop me

    The worst thing you can do it feel guilty you just have to draw a line under it and move on. 1 bar of chocolate and crisps won't make a huge difference but letting it stop you moving on will. Think pure slim thoughts :D

    I just don't know what to do!

    Hi Annie, I read it and it really sparked some positives thoughts! I'm happy to say I'm now through my 4th day and well into ketosis whoop whoop! Haha hopefully 4 months and I'll be at goal :D 2nd time lucky I hope x

    Shakers

    Hello :) I bought my shaker online from a protein shake website aimed at body builders it's called a blender bottle and it's amazing! It has a metal ball in it that works a treat!

    Things sure have changed around here!

    I'll try and chose my words carefully because I really don't want to offend people but I can't get over the change of the CD forum. When I started in 2011 the forum was all about keeping focus and not letting people give in to temptation. The talk of junk food and non SS+ food was actively...

    Thanks everyone :) I know you're all right!

    I just don't know what to do!

    I really need some other people's opinions as I'm sure I can't be alone in my dilemma! I started the CD plan in January 2011 and lost a lot of weight in about 4 months. I had a huge amount of motivation as I'd had a baby in the September and was going back to work in the March so I didn't...

    Weightloss is not a hobby

    So I'm well and truly back at square one (well almost, I'm probably a few pounds shy of my highest weight but that's nothing to celebrate!). I can't quite comprehend how I've allowed myself to get so fat again but the reason why I started CD last January is staring me right in the face! Oh and...

    Combining CD and the gym

    Hi All, I'm currently almost 98% SSing with the odd blip. However, I have been going to the gym for the last few months but recently making it more of a regular thing. Is anyone else successfully combining the CD and working out 4 times a week. I'm really keen to get healthy and fit on...

    Hi all, Back after a break of around 3 months and back to shift my remaining 3 stone to get to goal. While on my break I had joined my local gym which is heavily focused on weight lifting. My dream body would be muscular (but in a feminine way). I'm keen to develop my muscles while...

    Well done Christine, I'm finally back in the zone after months of faffing around :) it feels reallygood to know you have some kind of control again! however I do still have a voice in the back of my head telling me a little bit won't hurt!

    Thinking About Switching

    Hi, I joined WW a few months ago when I couldn't afford to do CD any longer and I managed to gain weight steadily for around 3-4 weeks! It put me off going actually as I found it embarrassing but I suppose looking back I probably did get a bit over excited to be free to eat whatever.. I went and...

    What to do at Christmas?

    I have to agree 100% with poppysparkle, I came off CD while on holidays about 3 months ago and just never stuck to it since! Not to say you're all weak willed but just be careful because if your anything like me you'll eat whatever knowing it can be easily reversed after a few weeks of CD but...

    Diet Starts Monday

    Okay, so where to start….I started my "Cambridge Diet (CD) journey) in early 2011 knowing that I had just 3 months to get myself down to at least my original weight after leaving work in Sept 2010 to have my first child. I had that huge motivation of the first day back to work and having...

    Baring my soul

    I started CD in Jan 2011 and quickly lost 50lbs over the space of a few weeks. However, over the forthcoming weeks I started skipping shakes in exchange for snacks and slowly giving into the temptations I had been so strong to resist in the beginning. Skipping shakes resulted in quite an...

    How did I get here?

    Hello :) I'm desperately trying to find the willpower to restart Cambridge to finally reach my goal that so far seems to be slipping through my fingers.

    Has anyone else been in the same boat as me...too skint to do CD for a few weeks? Everything has come at once and I've had to sacrifice CD.

    Negative names - positive outlook?

    just started cd today

    The only advice I can give is stay as focused and 100% to the diet for as long as you can. It's so difficult to maintain that initial enthusasiam once you relax and start blipping/cheating. I've basically got no where in 3 weeks because of picking all the time when I could have lost almost...

    I was wondering how you were doing, I remember your post about people who cheat and we nearly all said that you can't really criticise people until your there yourself, and well your there! and it's tough so ((hugs)) (I'm not being mean I promise) I believe that there's a pattern that people...

    Another disappointing WI

    It all depends on how much you have to loose in the first place, I loose 3lbs a week on average and this works for me. I've also thought surely it isn't worth all the money/effort and I should to SW…but I only have to take a look at my weigh in book from last time…half a pound off..pound...

    For those who lost a lot on CD before...

    Surely if you don't overeat but you are overweight by 6 stone you need medical help rather than dieting? You may have a metabolic problem, hyperthyroidism or insulin resistance??

    Supersize vs Super skinny

    being 'big' and finding a boyfriend ...

    I would say it was probably down to your own confidence than your weight hun, most men really lack confidence when it comes to chatting up us girls, mine was one of them! We probably wouldn't be together if I hadn't have done all the chasing! but he will openly admit that he was instantly...

    What weight losses are you averaging a week?

    That's good news :) I was just a bit miffed as my CDC always seems to have the look that says "could be better"...she's lovely but she has a side that reminds of some of my hardcore teachers who didn't take any messing from the class clown.. Which just happened to be me! I'm happy with 3lbs i...

    What weight losses are you averaging a week?

    Hi all, Interested to find out how much weight your loosing each week when your SS'ing 100% all week compared to weeks when you blip. I'm averaging 3lbs a week at the moment and it's been that way for a few weeks now just wondering if I could bump it up a little if I really did stick to it...

    I'm going to get my navel pierced lol :D I was always too fat to get it done when I was younger although I've had pretty much everything else pierced at one time or another being a bit of a rocker.

    Appetite completely gone

    I started like that when i was in a strong state of ketosis...i really wish I could get back there!! Don't knock it, just enjoy not being hungry and force down that last pack! Otherwise you'll be missing vitamins and minerals that keep you healthy xx
  113. Bethuk1

    :( why oh why!

    I think once you have your head and stomach set on having something then there's very little that will make you change your mind. If you are absolutely set on eating then I would choose something you'll quickly recover from (ie get back into ketosis) avoid pizza it all costs it's just all carb...

  120. Bethuk1

    oh no :(

    My weight fluctuates everyday, I read somewhere you can put on up to 5lb throughout the day, theres no way that would be fat, the 2lb extra you have gained is purely water :) you only really gain fat after sustained overeating! try not to worry about it hun and it'll be gone as quick as it came x

    Why oh why do I feel so down at the moment?

    PMS has a lot to answer for! For a few days every month I am all doom and gloom and a right grumpy sod! You probably feel the urge to throw it now but in a few days that'll pass and you'll be fine :) besides don't think of it in terms of fat or thin, I know loads of miserable thin people lol...

    How much water?

    I just fill the fridge with loads of water bottles and somehow manage to get through them..I'm much more of a fizzy drinks person..hence the need to diet lol

    tuna...?

    Tuna is fine as long as it's in spring water and not brine or oil, onion isn't on the SS+ list as far as I'm aware but I do have a bit now and again and cucumber is allowed. Sounds like it should be ok as long as you stick within your allowances for the day :) enjoy xx

    Some helpful info I found

    I think death by water only happens when you try to drink the whole 4 litres in one go, don't quote me on that one mind! I think it makes sense that obviously the bigger your body the more water you would need…well it does for me when it comes to drinking larger lol xx

    I think if this diet teaches me only one thing, it's that I can go without diet coke! I was absolutely addicted and could easily drink 2 litres a day! It's quite shocking how drinking diet coke and being overweight seem to go hand in hand! Plus my teeth are super White now! Lol x

    2 instead of 3 shakes

    You can just go back to what you would do normally, if you fancy the bar try it but I don't think the extra calories will make much of a difference. The point of having the 3 products a day is to keep our body in the right state for weight loss but still maintaining your health :) Don't worry...
  188. Bethuk1

    2 instead of 3 shakes

    You'll have one shake left over lol. it's not good for your health, you'll loose some of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function. Any reason why you don't want the 3rd? X P.S skipping shakes doesn't make you loose anymore weight either

    Beth - Failure is not an option

    The hardest part of weight loss is excepting that you need to change your diet, your behaviour and your relationship with food. This takes commitment and it's this commitment that can often prove to be the hardest part. Firstly you need to have a good reason to want to loose weight, to want to...

    why do I bake when I am ss?

    I do this too!! It's weird how I have an urge to bake all the time, luckily my enthusiasm isn't strong enough once I start looking in the recipe books but just looking at all the pictures makes me think that I would probably end up eating them all myself!! lol but my OH is really into Masterchef...

    Help!!!!

    Hello :) In the beginning I was in and out of ketosis all the time, don't worry about it and focus on being 100% tomorrow, it's just a tiny blip! If I have a rubbish day I just forget about it and move on, if you beat yourself up about it thats when you end up having a bigger blip!! Good luck xx

    About to crack :(

    I think when your sat there watching others eat you have this little voice in your head saying "aww poor you, your missing out, look at them all enjoying the food and you can't have any" it's something that in normal circumstances we dont have to listen to because we're tucking in ourselves but...

    I've typically found myself only liking the chocolate and mint chocolate shakes I take my hat off to the people who love all the products…the one and only time I made the soups I had a few sips and then gave the rest to the dog….who didn't like it either lol I've tried the bars too and found...

    Hello vonpeeky :) I have a super grumpy teething 5 month old who needs to be entertained constantly and I'm 4 weeks in! I'm actually finding CD much easier than eating food, I got into the habit of snacking on biscuits and cake in the day then having no time to cook and ordering takeaways...

    Lowering my goal....

    I've just jumped straight into the deep end! probably being a bit optimistic but I'm aiming for 9 stone. Being 5.3ft I think 9 stone is a nice healthy weight and my new CDC agrees too but my first CDC wasn't happy for me to go below 10 stone 4…I'll be happy at either weight at this moment in...

    Hi Big H and well done for coming back :) it's a really difficult decision to get back on the diet wagon but it's absolutely the best thing you could have done. I know you will have lots of support from everyone here and I look forward to seeing your losses each week :):) GOOD LUCK x

    Worst Day Yet - Day 20

    I have days where I suddenly feel the urge to eat, sometimes I can resist but other times I just end up eating something from the SS+ list. I think it's normal to still want to eat, I test myself every Saturday when I visit family who just eat,eat and eat!!! and turn their noses up at my shakes...

    Skimmed milk

  234. Bethuk1

    Skimmed milk

    Okay, thanks for the info :)
  235. Bethuk1

    Skimmed milk

    It's crazy that 30 odd calories would make such a difference :( I only have about 3 cups a day normally (I guess thats under 100ml) I've drunk green tea on and off years now so I don't mind it I just love my cup of normal first thing in the morning! lol oh well :( nevermind x
  236. Bethuk1

    Skimmed milk

    I love my cup of tea but I can't stand black tea :cry: why can't you have skimmed milk on SS? X

    What will you do when you reach your goal?

    I agree with everyone!!!!! It's so sad what we all put off because of our weight! I really suffered with sciatica for years and it ruined so many days out, touch wood since having the baby it's really eased off...but I went and broke my ankle at 9 months pregnant lol so that holds me back at the...

    What will you do when you reach your goal?

    Just a bit of fun but I will.... 1. Make my hubby pick me up and carry me around the house lol 2. Find any excuse to see old Friends who are used to the fat me to show them that I can be slim! 3. Buy myself all the clothes I've wanted from places that consider an XL to be a size 14...
