Having gotten myself to a healthy BMI, I'm wondering whether the Cambridge Diet is beginning to reach the end of it's usefulness for me. In terms of having the milkshakes as a healthy lunch and/or supper then yes they're still useful at the moment. However, I'm thinking that with regular...

I've told a few close friends, and that's about it. I don't think my family would be supportive so I've just told my Mum I'm on a 'high protein diet' and said nothing to any other family members.

Sounds like a really sensible way forwards :). All the best with it.

Hey Megan, TODAY IS THE DAY :D! YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT! :D Yay!

Try and have a sit down and a rest for a few minutes. Do something that you enjoy which doesn't break your diet. Have a nice herbal tea and watch a trashy TV program or read a magazine. I find that if you take your mind off the thing you're stressing-out about for 20 mins or so it really...

You've definitely lost on your waist :D. Well done! I got this really cute belt to wear on my jeans while I see how much I lose... :)

OT but sumayyah your little girl is sooo cute! :)

(While being on 810). With my Mum, I told a bit of a white lie and said that I was on a diet where I only ate protein-rich meals and was avoiding carbohydrates. I know that she would be worried and upset if she knew about the milkshake content of my diet so I thought I wouldn't tell her...

Good luck Alex and Megan :). You can do it!

Hey thanks for the info KD! Now I don't have to beat myself up if I only manage to go swimming once a week... ;).

Looks like it ;).

Actually, come to think about it, I did feel pretty ill after trying to do a full gym work-out. Even on SS swimming was fine though. I guess, like Aseyan, I'd suggest trying alternative lower-impact work-outs if you didn't feel great doing your normal ones. Aqua aerobics sounds like a fun idea!

Definitely some good advice on that thread about just nibbling protein foods when you're feeling tempted! When I crave chocolate I try to pursuade myself to have a boiled egg.

Hey :). (If you're still at the BMI where it's OK) How about you do a week of SS or SS+ to get you back out of the habit of conventional eating? Chocolate is my biggest sin as well - don't worry! I just try to make sure there's only a very small amount of it in the house at any time. Best of...

I didn't know that excercise could be detrimental?? Would be good to hear answers to this one! I'm on 810 atm and go swimming about twice a week. I feel fine doing that.

Oooh I've only had the old pack ones so far. 6 cals isn't much though :).

Thanks Charley :) I'd like to be less than 25 too but it's definitely a good first goal. Not much to go now for you! :D Looks like you're well on your way to 25 too Twinkle :). Yay! MrsEssex - even when I was 20 BMI (some time ago now) I never wore less than a size 12 bottoms because of the...

It really is motivating Aly! :) Aseyan: Women's Clothing Size Conversions

Hey Aseyan :). At the moment I'm wearing size 14 (UK) jeans and I doubt I'll go down much as I have wide hips and carry most of my weight on my thighs and bottom. BUT - before I started CD I couldn't even get into these jeans - they made me hurt!! Definitely I'll let you know :D. Keep going...

Thanks mrsessex and Hayley - it does feel amazing :). Keep going everyone - it's worth it.

I decided to have a healthier lifestyle. I cut-out unhealthy foods and I joined the gym and went swimming/gyming 3 times a week. One day I was at the gym. I decided to use their scales and put a 50p in. The ticket printed out said "YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT. YOU ARE OVER YOUR IDEAL BMI." This was...

Hey louisa thanks. It feels brilliant - especially when you've worked hard for it. Deciding to do it is the most important step :).

Mmm I love the chocolate tetras - and the hot chocolate like AlyB says :).

Hi Kelly, welcome to the forum. Hope you find a diet that suits you. This is a great place to get support.

I think you should stay in ketosis if you only eat the protein part of the meal - fish / chicken / tofu etc. One meal wont make a big impact on your losses. I didn't feel sick at the shakes, but I got pretty bored with them. I think you just need to push on through this phase - it does pass...

Yeah I can't believe how much better I feel now that I'm not constantly eating white bread and biscuits. My skin's clearer, my stomache isn't bloated, and my energy levels are 100% better. I guess a healthy diet is vital! :)

What a great first week's loss :D. Go go go week 2!

Yay for ketosis energy rush and not feeling bloated from yucky carbs! Wooooo!

5lbs in 5 days is a fantastic loss. Well done. Now put the sticks away in a drawer and forget about them! :).

I bliped this week and had a chocolate brownie - and still lost 3 pounds because I'd kept to the diet the rest of the week. You can do it! Get straight back on that horse :D.

Thankyou both :). I am really pleased with it thanks Pheonix. I'd started to get a bit down on the diet this week, but my CDC appointment and finding out my BMI has motivated me to keep going!

WIN!

(I'm on 810 right now.) I had my CDC appointment this morning and I'm down to 9 stone 13 which is a BMI of exactly 25! Yay! :D I'd now like to get down to 9 stone so I'm in the middle of the healthy BMI zone and have a little room to play with. Then: MAINTENANCE!

Don't beat yourself up Luckyluxx! You can start again on the 4th of January and I'm sure you'll do great :). Happy New Year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :)

Well done taryn! I haven't got a specific date in mind but I'm hoping to get to 9 and a half stone by the middle of January bringing me back into a healthy BMI. I'd then like to lose another stone to get to 8 and a half, but I see that as less of a priority. So far I'm doing well over...

Well, I got off to a great start and did the SS 100% for 7 days and lost more than half a stone. Go CD!!! However, I've now run out of money and can't buy any more shakes... Ooops! So, I'm switching to calorie-counting til the new year. Thanks for the tip on the water bottles MinnieMel...

100% sole source on Cambridge Diet day 4. I feel really tired and I had a nosebleed in the shower :(. I want biscuits!!!

OT but rainbow brite I love your name, avatar, and signature! :)

Thanks! Looks like you're well on your way to your goal :D.

I'm day 4 of 100% SS now and have lost 6lb! My ketostix shows a dark pink - I hope that doesn't mean my ketones are excessive? I have to say I'm looking forward to switching to 810 after this week, but I'm keeping my spirits and motivation up and keeping busy to avoid thinking about it too...

Happy Birthday :) have an awesome day!

Woohoo! Great news Aseyan :). I hope I get as good results.

bull-sh*t ;-)

Beware the carbs of doom!!! On more than one occassion I sat down and practically ate a whole loaf of white bread - just as toast and margerine. Thanks for the tip on the bars Willgetthere!

They should have some respect for you and what you want from your life :). After all, no-one else can live it for you. *hugs*

Hi everyone :). I hope that this message finds you in good spirits. I've been on 100% sole source for two days now and I am just feeling really BUZZING. My thoughts are all so sharp and fast and I feel genuinely euphoric. I feel like I can accomplish any mission I put my mind to! I...

Thanks everyone :). My meeting with my CDC went well. I'm starting on Sole Source today! After one week of SS I'm probably going to go up to 810 calories for the rest of December. Then maybe start on SS again in the new year. Eep! I can't believe I'm actually doing it! Time to make a...

Hey :). My meeting with my diet counsellor went well and I'm starting my diet immediately! My goal is to lose 3 stone.

Thankyou! On the whole, I think bad-breath management is a small price to pay.

Hehe, best of luck Aseyan! :) I read somewhere that it's supposed to be good for you to brush your teeth after every meal. So: teeth win!

Heylo Ghengis ;). I weighed myself after our holiday and I haven't put on any weight either. Tbh I'm amazed but very glad about our good luck! Thanks for referring me to your CDC. I'd be grateful for any ketostix you can spare :). Eir xxx

I met Bill Bailey at the Edinburgh festival several years ago. Lovely chap :).

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :).

Heylo :flirt2:. I weighed myself when we got back from holiday and I hadn't gained any weight either. Tbh I'm amazed but very glad about our good luck! Thanks for referring me to your CDC - I'll keep you updated. And would be grateful for some ketostix if you can spare them. Eir xxx
