I started Exante the end of last week and I'm determined to get through this time. I did Cambridge (sole source) at the time and lost about 5-6 stones a while ago. I felt incredible and loved it - it really was life changing for me. Unfortunately after a few years old habits die hard and I...

well done lexy! That is fantastic news, don't blame you for being chuffed because you are doing great on your journey. Keep up the good work and enjoy it :)

I feel your pain hun! I had a great first WI on Thursday and I've been 100% on SS. Unfortunately I've been on the scales every morning and in all honesty my weight hasn't really budged since the initial WI :( it truely is demotivating and I realise I have to stop doing it. I just have to get...

I have yet to sample the "delights" of the cheese and brocolli soup and think I will be giving it a miss! The apple and cinnamon porridge I had for the first time yesterday and it was managable considering I had heard bad things about it so that came as quite a surprise to me. I also tried...

WOW! That is fantastic!!! Enjoy it hon - you've earned it! Keep up the great work :D

excellent news kerry and well done!!

hi there, As LizzMB said, we do at times put too much emphasis on the scales. I know I do. The thing is you are still going in the write direction and losing weight. A loss of 3.5" is amazing too. You're doing great so keep up the good work :)

guilty here too! Every morning without fail but I think I am going to have to try and stop. I've just done my first week on the CD and of course the weight loss has been pretty fast. Now I'm starting for 2nd week it will slow down so I should try and restrain myself from going on the scales.

it really is such a high when people do notice and it makes it all worth while. Congratulations on your weight loss - you've done really, really well!

best of luck with finishing the rest of your journey! coming on here and rading the posts really does help and encourage me in my quest.

thank you again for all the kind words of encourage. I hope week 2 is just as good as week 1. Will keep you all updated :)

keep up the good work Lisa!! i've been following your SS diary and I think you've done amazing! Best of luck with the rest of your CD journey. I know you can do it :D

well done and what a great loss! It definitely is a great motivator to see such a loss in the first week :)

well done Jim, sounds like you've had a great week!! you'll be in the 19's before you know it!

thank you so much to everyone! Being a part of this forum has really helped encourage and motivate me. Today's WI has shown to me what can be done and that I can lose weight if I set my mind to it and stick to this! :happy036:

thanks for that! Best of luck with your WI today and let us know how you get on :)

Back from my first WI and I've lost 11lbs!! I'm over joyed with this!! I cannot believe the speed of the weight loss to be honest! Roll on week 2 WI! :D

well done and keep up the great work. I have my first WI tomorrow morning!

Hi there! Welcome to the forum and well done on your weight loss. I'm a newbie here too but settling in nicely.

fantastic! Moments like this make it truely worth it. Keep up the good work :)

a very informative post. I was worried about not going but I did eventually manage yesterday for the first time since starting CD. thanks for all the advice everyone has posted so I know just in case for future reference.

Chicken and mushroom soup Strawberry and vanilla shakes (even better when you mix half and half!) Not a fan of the spicy tomato soup though. Cannot wait to try out the bars :)

roll on week 3 when I can give it a go!

congratulations and well done! keep up the good work - you're doing great!

hey again, so here we are near the end of day 4 and I think the ketosis has finally kicked in. Had a hair appointment this morning and I was looking at my face in the mirror and it seemed a little thinner (maybe that was just me). Got back home and my energy levels still seemed high so I ended...

you look great! Definitely wear the dress!

you're doing great girl!! Not too long to go now. I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end! Keep going :happy096:

congratulations!! I have my first WI on Thursday and if I get any where close to you I'll be over the moon! Well done and keep up the good work!

well done CW!! 5 stone is a huge amount of weight to lose. It's all paid off because come Saturday I'm sure you'll be feeling and looking fantastic! keep up the good work :)

not sure when it was but you can watch it on BBC iplayer.

I know how tough it is resist urges and i've only been on the CD for 4 days! I work part time in a pub kitchen and trust me I was so tempted to just have food - especially yesterday when there was plenty of left overs from the Sunday lunch carvery. I'm trying my hardest to break the habit of...

best of luck emma!!! Let us know how it goes.

don't beat yourself up too much lisa, these things do happen unfortunately. Just drink plenty of water and try your hardest to make sure it's 100% for now. I know you can do it!

fabulous! You look amazing! Keep up the good work

Best of the luck with the results tomorrow. You've got the whole forum willing you on! :)

Well day 3 over with and another 100% for me. Resisting the urge to pick at food or just snack my way through the night has so far been good. I was in the car with my sister and she opens a pack of crisps and starts eating them. Instantly I'm drawn to the smell of them and think how nice it...

best of luck with the restart guys!

well done liz!! You've done fantastic!

what a fantastic gesture! I soooooo cannot wait to do this when I've dropped in size!

thanks ellie! :) All the kind words and support i've been getting from everyone since I've been a member of this forum and reading other member's situations and stories is really driving me to see this through. It's so nice to have people in the same boat and just being able to share...

hi! I'm a newbie here too but well done on your CD journey so far! Great news that you are in ketosis. I'm on day 3 of the CD now and hopefully the ketosis will kick in any day now. have a great 100% day and keep up the good work!

thanks Liz - you've done amazing so far and lost so much weight. I hope I can match you someday :) Ok so this morning if day 3 and I woke up pretty early feeling a bit shaky and a bit tired but apart from that all is well. Hopefully ketosis is going to kick in soon. Right off to have a shake...

congratulations and well done! All the luck in the world with the rest of your CD journey :)

well done you! i've only been on here a few days and already I've been made to feel very welcome. I have yet to have my first weigh in yet but I would be very happy with 7lb's. keep up the great work and good luck!

well back from another shift at work and once again I managed to resist. I was tested pretty hard as a customer cancelled an order but the food (a chicken omelette) had already been made and it looked oh so tempting! Normally I would have had that for dinner but I ignored it and settled for my...

I hope day 3 went well for you. do let us know how you got on. I'm preparing myself for the worst as I'm on day 3 tomorrow *yikes!*

WOW!! Well done! You look amazing - truely inspiring :)

thanks again for all your kind words and encouragement! They are really helping me to not fall off the wagon! The temptation to just have one chip (especially since I was frying them!) was strong at the start but I thought to myself if I start with one then this will inevitably lead to another...

thanks for all your support! :family2: It's truely inspirational to be reading the posts on here and seeing how well everyone is doing and what can be achieved.

hi! I only joined the forum yesterday after meeting with a CD counsellor and stocking up on a weeks worth of products. I started the CD this morning and so far so good. I work part-time in a pub restaurant kitchen and I've gotten so used to just nibbling food here and there - especially when...

hi guys, Just stumbled on this forum as I am starting the cambridge diet tomorrow. Have been reading up on this week and today had an appointment with a counsellor today and all went well. I now have a weeks worth of products so will be starting it first thing tomorrow morning. I'm currently...
