Ps what an amazing weight loss! Well done!

Leaaaaaaa! So nice to see you on here! Do you remember me? How are you getting on? X

So I've decided to SS as my weight was sitting just above 12 stone and I just wanted to get down into the 11s - SS+ seems to have stopped working for me :cool: I'm actually quite enjoying it so far, to be honest I was sick to death of quorn pieces and, as a vegetarian, there aren't really that...

Can I join? I'm having some seriously slow weight losses - I'm going to aim for 14lbs and get back on top of my water. Harasssed_mother -14lbs LizzRob -14lbs Autumn76 -7lbs Tor137 -14lbs Em_butterfly - 14lbs

It would be great if I could get into the 10s in the next 8 weeks - would need to lose 19lbs in total, so 2.5lbs a week on average - seems doable. Would love to be 10 stone but my weight loss is soooo slow! :( Also starting to struggle, the more people are complimenting me, the more I'm becoming...

Hi, yep 3lbs off this week ;) how are you getting on?

Well done on the 5lb loss! Amazing! X

In 10 weeks time I'll be sipping mojitos on the beach :party0036: roll on! I'm starting to find size 14 baggy now so 12 will be very realistic as I move into the 11 stone bracket. I literally cannot wait to be in the 11s, the lowest weight I have been as an adult was 11.7lb and I'm looking to...

Still going, although the weight is coming off S-L-O-W-L-Y... Not sure what I can do to speed things up? Hoping I can be close to target by my holiday, only 10 and a half weeks to go...

Week one of the holiday challenge and 3lbs gone - good start. Step 2 this week as week 13, bit scared of not losing! Not sure I can eat 270g of quorn... 12 weeks to go!! Whoop!

Hi Nikie That's an amazing loss in 3 weeks! Well done! 3lbs is good, I often lose 2lbs and I've had a fair few 1lbs/STS at TTOTM - I think that's why men lose so much easier than women as we have all the hormone changes throughout the month - lucky us lol! Yeah it's easier when busy at work...

Day One Million Well that's Easter Sunday done for another year and no chocolate for me :) woohoo! Struggled with the water today as I've been at my parents' house most of the day and routine went out the window. Trying to get my second litre down as we speak, not the best at this time of...

Hi Nic Aww that was lovely to read :) Glad to hear I'm not the only one who made the mistake of not going up the steps properly, I will definitely be doing that this time as I plan on this being the LAST time, although I'm sure Cambridge will still play a role in my maintenance. Well done...

I'm still going, now at 13.1, but it's been coming off (a bit too) slow and steady. I have just over 13 weeks until my holiday and I want the last 3 stone off so on a major mission, I've upped the focus by: 1. Cutting out Coke Zero completely 2. Focusing far more on getting the water in - at...

God damn CWP insomnia Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 14.9

I'm baaaaack! So got out of blogging, but got down to 13.10 and had a break in December and January. Now back on it, day 3 of sole source. Starting weight this time is 14.9 so could potentially achieve my target of 10 stone by April/May if I focus. Day 3 and I feel extremely moody and...

Hi Lea! How are you getting on with SW? I'm considering my options, have got down to 14.2 but starting to get sooooo bored of CWP!! Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 15.6

You'll do it! I'm hoping to get into the next stone bracket in the next couple of weeks. Roll on Christmas and a new slimmer body! X Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 15.6

Well if it's working for you then that's the main thing plus you've inspired me to have quorn sausages for tea tonight! Congrats on your amazing weight loss :) Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 15.6

Aren't the sausages 70 cals each? If you have five that would make your calorie intake much higher than 500-600? Maybe you could have two and a bit of salad? I love a quorn sausage so would love to have one!! Just worried about the calories x Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 15.6

Well done Caz :D

Day 42 Went for lunch at a friends today - obviously I didn't eat and it actually didn't matter. It's my niece's birthday tomorrow and we are going for lunch, I'm hoping to be able to ask for a plain salad. It is annoying having to avoid so many food situations at times, but by the same token I...

Hi Lea I've been thinking about you. If things haven't been going well, don't worry - life gets in the way and you've had a tough time recently. As long as you're ok, that's the most important thing x Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 15.13

Day 28 6lbs this week. Chuffed! Ate lunch today as it was the end of school year staff meal. It was a set menu so had carrot and coriander soup, two mouthfuls of a butternut squash risotto and a fruit salad. Back to SS+ tomorrow, hoping to lose a couple of lbs by Sat. Em x Start: 17.3...

Day 25 Still going, feel like the weight is starting to come off a bit this week. God I hope so! Another week without a loss would be very hard to stomach (boom boom!) Might try and go to the gym this weekend, do any of you gym whilst SS/SS+ ing? Two more work days until 5 and a half weeks...

Day 23 Today sucks. This week sucks in fact. A male colleague said to be today that my sister is much better looking than me, 50% better looking. Thanks for that. Any chance that's because I'm fat? What a surprise. Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 16.5

Day 19 Just watching 'Supersize Vs Superskinny' and it's actually helping me to see how much I don't want to go back to eating crap. The 'supersize' boy is spending a lot of time complaining about the 'superskinny's eating habits. It's almost as if he can't see how much junk he is consuming -...

Hope you're all well? I meant to post an update to say I lost 5lb in my first week, not bad considering it was TTOTM. I've spent the last half an hour looking at Cambridge Diet hash tags on Instagram - very inspirational! I will do this. Em x Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 16.12

Hey! How are you getting on? I'm ok, plodding along. Lost 5lbs in my first week so happy with that as its TTOM. Feeling really hungry tonight and have no idea why :sigh: hopefully things will be better tomorrow.

I somehow knocked myself out yesterday, I went out for lunch and had a plain salad, but think there may have been a tiny bit of olive oil on there. Nearly back in, bit annoying to have to go through it twice in a week! Keeping strong x Start: 17.3 Target: 10 Current: 17.3

Hi Willpower, I remember you too! How's it going? I'm on day 2, feeling a bit moody today but not giving up! Just gone to bed cos I'm cold and tired ha! X

So, here I am again. Last summer, shortly after my last post, my Aunt passed away and I found it difficult to focus on the diet. I then went on holiday and then, well, somehow never quite found my way back to this 'place'; the place where I feel like I can do this. But I'm back, I'm ready and...

Yay! I'm good, how are you? Definitely ready for it! How have you been getting on? X

Oops, didn't mean to send that twice!

Lea! Remember me? Guess what? I'm back to try again too! Although I don't have any excuse for putting weight on :( off to CDC today, nervous as bmi is over 40 and I hope I don't have to go and get a doctor's note as I'm ready to get started! How are you getting on? X

I take my hat off to you Annie for trying to get back on it with all that you're going through. You're amazing and you will definitely meet goal - you can do it xx Start: 17.12 Current: 15.4 Target: 10

You're a crazy lady! Who would feel sick looking at these photos?! You look like a normal woman - you don't look at all what you weigh, I would honestly say you look like a size 14. You're gonna look amazing much sooner than your goal lady! You look great! Xx Start: 17.12 Current: 15.4 Target: 10

Thanks hun! Lost 4lbs - very happy with that! Is your weigh in Friday? X Start: 17.12 Current: 15.4 Target: 10

You're right - we really won't care once we get to goal! To be honest I also just think about how much fatter I would be now if I hadn't started the diet when I did - I certainly wouldn't have lost weight! It will be worth it in the end :) how did your weigh in go? X Start: 17.12 Current: 15.4...

You will find your style Lea - and think of all the fun you can have finding out! Can't wait to wear all the lovely clothes! Still wanting those 14s too - I've got 8lbs to go to get there! I'm sticking in the 15s a bit too long - this was usually the biggest I'd get and then stay here so I think...

Hi Daisy - it could be the same for me with the bars as I had a bigger loss the week I didn't have them. Maybe I'll have a bar free week next week and see if it makes a difference : ) x Start: 17.12 Current: 15.8 Target: 10

You're doing so well Lea, such an inspiration! I'm trying to get into the 14s too - I'm hoping to be there in a couple of weeks and ideally in the 13s in July! I'm also aiming for 10 stone so once we reach the 13s/14s it won't seem such a mammoth task! Excited to fit into all the gorgeous...

Thank you, Daisy that was a really inspiring post :D wow must be so exciting to be talking about moving up the steps - I can't wait to be at that point! Must feel amazing to be getting into those clothes! I have a pair of trousers hanging on my bedroom door from when I was 11.7 stone and it's...

Why don't you cut up a bar each day and stick it in the fridge - then you can nibble on that instead :) Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Hey you'll be picking cos you are out of ketosis - be strong and avoid the kitchen :) you'll be back on it in no time. I'm sure quite a few people would have eaten this weekend - food was everywhere! I SS+ and it gets me through knowing I can have a meal ;) Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Yay! The hardest part is nearly out of the way :) Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

You're good cooking through SS! The diet does really put you off certain foods, greasy chips make me want to gag! Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Love a frozen tetra :) Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Well done on your loss :D Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Exactly. It's odd how some of them get so moody about it! Last week the woman was really rude to the presenter and didn't seem to think eating junk all weekend was to blame for her weight gain. That said, I didn't know how many calories are in Ben and Jerry's so maybe I'm more clueless than I...

^^^^ what she said! X Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Thank you all! Hope I can do the same next week but it will be TTOM so who knows!? Are we going to be getting any sun this week? Had enough rain now! Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Lol well done on the clear out - you're free of that weight and you'll be wearing beautiful size 16 clothes in a matter of weeks! X Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Hey thank you so much! You're about the same weight as me I think? What are you aiming for by August? X Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Never realised it was that high! I've devoured a few tubs in my time!! Whoops! X Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

I'll be flushing this week! Ha x Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

I watch it - haven't watched today's yet though. Maybe I'm in denial but I'm pretty sure I knew I was eating crap when I was eating crap! Some of these people seem to literally have no idea...scary how easy it is! Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Good tip - thank you! I'm due this week and I'm worried as last time I had a 1.75lb loss, I'm hoping that was a one-off! Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Meant to also say the first time I did CD I SSed and used to have a bit of cucumber when I really needed something lol but try and avoid it :) x Start: 17.12 Current: 15.11 Target: 10.7

Hey you're still in ketosis on SS+ so you wouldn't be going in and out as long as you stick to the allowed foods. I agree with Sinead that it's prob best to stick to one - I'm doing SS+ and I've lost just over 2 stone in 7 weeks x Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Lost 5.75lbs this week, thrilled as I've had a few lower losses. Well done everyone on your losses! x

Exactly! You can do it! Don't feel silly, there's been times where I have felt really disappointed but give it some time and then look at how much you've lost overall - like you said there is no other diet where you could reach these numbers! Good luck for next week - you'll be not far off the...

Sooooooo happy:scale: just had my weigh in and I've lost 5.75lbs this week! So pleased! I know some people are losing this every week but I've had three weeks of lower losses so I'm over the moon! Just what I needed to keep on the straight and narrow - I was starting to get bored, I hadn't...

Hey! I lost less than you in my first week - 6.75lbs but I was happy with that. Weightloss just varies for everyone and your starting weight will make a difference as well. It will even itself out, it might be that you have a few losses of that size in a row whereas others might not. Keep going...

So happy! I've lost 5.75lbs and if you can see my stats you'll know I've been in need of a big loss! Thrilled! I was starting to wonder what was wrong with me! :p Love CD!

Thank you, it's the meals that really appeal as it makes it seem more 'normal' rather than shakes all the time :) I'll have a look at that sample pack x Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Fab! Just ordered some samples! Looking forward to the 'meal' ha! Thank you for all your help, may well be seeing more of me on here if I enjoy the packs! X Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Ahh cool I've just ordered a couple of samples. Do you just order a few at a time from S&S? I'm thinking the 'meals' like spaghetti will make it so much easier! Do you order less from your CDC then? Not sure how I'd explain that I'm doing a bit of both :) x Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

I'm think of doing S&S - how does it compare? Everyone says how yummy the 'meals' are! Plus it cheaper! Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Even better! Can you have three of those spaghetti type packs or bars a day or can you only have one (like how you can only have one bar per day on CD). Did you do CD? I seem to remember seeing you on the forum? How do you think they compare? Thank you! Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

How does s&s work? Do you have three packs and a meal like SS+? Can the packs be the spaghetti etc - could you have that for all three packs? Is it like pot noodle? Sorry for the questions, currently doing CD and wondering how S&S compares! It appears to be half the price! Em Start: 17.12...

I'm wondering if I should SS? I'm on SS+ at the mo :) Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Hope your day goes quickly! I'm still amazed with you 7lb loss - what's your secret lol! Have a good day x Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Day 49 Weigh in day today - week 7! Really hoping for 4lbs but scales are showing me just under that :( hoping that when I've umm 'gone' then it will go down a bit. I'd be mega happy for 4lbs as had some low losses recently plus I'd hit the 2 stone mark! 47 days until the summer holidays and...

Have you looked at Slim and Save - it's cheaper but with similar results, maybe look at their website and see if it's an option? Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

17. To enjoy the summer and not spend it covering up as much as possible and then sweating like a pig! 18. To not have to put talc between my legs when I wear a skirt or dress because my thighs chafe 19. To wear all the beautiful clothes that fitted me when I was 11 and a half stone 20. To feel...

Reasons to lose weight (in no particular order!): 1. To no longer be the fat one in the family or the fat friend 2. To be healthy, I'm 30 soon and want to be healthy in my 30s 3. To look good and feel good about my appearance 4. To wear clothes I want to wear rather than what fits or hides my...

Day 48 So tired, bloody dogs were awake at 6am wanting to go down the garden. Wish they could see the difference between a work day and a day off lol! I've decided to refocus on my water as its been slipping and I want another 2 stone off ideally by July 23rd - so just under 7 weeks! I realise...

I've got a wedding coming up so will have to do the same. How inconvenient lol! You never know , it might kick start your weightloss again - people seem...

I'll put it up for sure! Hoping by November/December I'll be sporting that look! I've put some 'fat crap' on there and people are bidding - one man's junk and all that! I bought a size 16 strapless top, hoping to wear it in July x Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Hi Starzz You've made a great start, your initial loss on LL was amazing and there's no doubt you can do it again. I'm a teacher so literally can't go to the toilet when I'm teaching, I try and drink water about 30 mins before break or lunch as I know I can nip to the loo then. You'll find a...

There ya go hun! I know what you mean though, I've felt exactly the same when I've had small losses! Our losses are very similar! Are you doing SS or SS+? Did you weigh less than me to start with? X Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

I had a 1.75lb loss and a 2.75lb loss - I was really frustrated by it but the first once was due to TTOM and no idea what happened with the second one! Look at the bigger picture, I added up what I'd lost overall that month and it was 18lbs : ) x Start: 17.12 Current: 16.2 Target: 10.7

Know what you mean about cravings but the thought of this shorts is def the way forward! You'll stop craving things again soon, it is hard after a break - I had a period a few years ago where I just couldn't get back on CD and I think that was why plus I was a size 12 so I was pretty happy with...

I've just copied your signature idea lol! You're doing so well, keep going! X

Wow you've done so well, we had a similar starting weight so this has really motivated me to continue. X

Wow congratulations on your weightloss! You're doing amazing! X

I've got about 12 things on there at the moment - hoping for some cash! The only thing I'm keeping is my size 22 trousers so I can do the old 'getting into one leg' photo at goal lol x

I've lost 24lbs in 6 weeks so you could be at goal for your holiday! X

Smaller losses definitely make it harder, I wonder if it's because we've done it before? I'm sure my losses were higher the first time! Enjoy your BBQ - I hope the weather holds out for you! No sunshine here yet x

Where's the sun gone? Love a bank holiday, still in bed lol! About to have first tetra of the day, only having 3 bars this week and already had them - really miss them!! CDC thinks it might speed up weight loss, I hope so as scales are only showing about 2lb *sigh* two more days to get a total...

What's silver?

Hey thanks hun, it could be as she's overweight and has struggled to shift the pounds - I actually think she may have put on since the last time I saw her do maybe it was her issues rather than anything personal. Thank you! Planning to go through my old clothes tomorrow and put some more on...

Just put a load of size 20/22 clothes on EBay :D need the money for the shoes I keep buying eeek!

Had a friend round today and, baring in mind I've lost nearly 2 stone, she made no comment about my weight loss even with my partner saying how impressed he is and I've lost 2 stone - she just said "that's good". I feel a bit rubbish about it and it's made me think that the 2 stone isn't...

Day 46 Hi all Thought I'd share some of my SS+ meals, last night I had quorn pieces, green pepper and salad with some chilli powder : ) Hope you're all getting on ok? Em

Ahh garlic bread! But carbs got me to this weight so they are no longer my friends lol x

Thank you :)

Day 42 Lost 3.25lbs today! At least the number is going up! Em x

Hope you're feeling better Tano? X

Day 39 Hope everyone is doing well? Still going strong on the old SS+ - cooked my fish on the BBQ last night and it was lush! Off to a theme park today and bought some harem pants from Sainsburys in animal print to wear (preventing thigh chafeage and nice and airy!) I'm feeling far more...

You're looking fab in your pics :) x

My first hol of the summer is in 8 weeks - hope to get rid of a couple of stone by then as a few weeks after I'm off again to Vegas! Then it will be SS+ all the way! Want to be at target in Oct/Nov :)

That's amazing! Bet you feel really different!? Happy belated birthday!

How much have you lost xsinead? How have the 12 weeks been? I'm on week 6 x

Hey ladies What do you wear in this weather? I wore black trousers today and was dying! How can I look smart but feel cool whilst covering up unsightly areas?! Em

Thank you, SH - that's made me feel better :) I think I need to focus on the total instead of the last two weeks :) I also weighed in a day early. Is your weigh in tomorrow? X

Hi Surf I have 3 shakes and 200 cal meal - tbh the meal is the only thing that stops me being utterly miserable lol. I did SS last time but I think I'd find it hard to do it again. Just gutted cos want this weight off! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, hoping its just the bloat! How are you...

Should I SS rather than SS+? X

Day 34 Just weighed in and lost 2lb, so gutted after 1lb last week too but my CDC was so lovely and said to look at the total number which is true! I think it's because I'm so bloated with my stomachache right now :( has anyone else had that problem? But...the sun is still out at 9pm and I'm...

Yep 2lb. Whoopty-do :(
