Hi I lost 3 stone on Cambridge last year and have another two stone I would like to lose. Trouble is I am not looking forward to the disruption doing sole source causes to every day life - ie having to cook food for the family but not eat it - never going out for meals with friends etc. I'm just...

I've restarted on SS after a stupid month holiday/break!!! I've managed to gain 8 pounds back on the 3 stone I lost. What sort of loss do you think I'll get in the first week - will it be like the first time (I lost 10 pounds) or do you think it will be the normal 3/4 pounds (that I settled into...

You guys are great!!!!! Thanks so much for the support and kind words! I had cottage cheese and courgettes last night for tea and now feel much better about the whole thing!! Great advice - I only wish my CDC was as informative!!! thanks again x x x :)

Yeah I guess....how much do you think I'll loose on 790? I loose about 3 pounds a week on SS. Anything less than that - what's the point in doing cambridge - I might aswell do low cal and at least have variety???

Thats the trouble - I thought once I got to 10 stone I would feel fantastic - but I don't - I still feel fat!!

Hello I've been sole sourcing for two months now and have followed it word for word. I go on holiday in two weeks time for a week - by that time I estimate that I will have about 6 pounds left to loose - yipee!! However I am not sure what to do - I really want to enjoy my holiday and not...

Can't believe my councilor advised that!! I've just phoned Cambridge and they also said you must do add a meal week!!! How do I do it? I seem to remember cottage cheese being on the list? How much should I have? Do I still have three shakes?? Should you have low fat cottage cheese? Do you...

I've just phoned Cambridge and they also said you must do add a meal week!!! How do I do it? I seem to remember cottage cheese being on the list? How much should I have? Do I still have three shakes?? Should you have low fat cottage cheese? Do you still loose weigh during this week?

My councilor said it's ok to carry on with sole source without add a meal week - is this correct??? :confused:
