I hope so!

You should be able to do it,just remember to drink all the water!

I will really try....but I seem to be obsessed with them...may just get rid of them altogether and go to boots once a week....good luck everyone else tho :-) x

Good luck hun, ketosis makes the hunger go away and the rest is pretty much will power (i don't have much...which is why I lose and gain the same 3 stone year after year) GOOD LUCK anyway, it will be worth it in the end :-)

I have restarted today (only lasted a few days last week but thankfully I have sts) this time I am doing it on my own as my OH is a big cheater and tempts me all the time lol good luck with it, once ketosis kicks in it will get easier :-) Xx

I aim for 3 of water more if I have coke or Dr p :-) got a 750ml bottle and refill about 7-8 times

In the same boat hun, been messing about going from one day 100% then the next eating everythin in sight to the next 100% its doing my head in, think we just need to give our heads a shake and realise we just gotta do it or will end up with an even bigger amount to lose ultimately! Luckily even...

It doesn't matter...it was an observation... rather like the way super nanny pronounces acceptable...that does my head in completely!

Well done! I've been messing about too, been great until 8/9pm then something happens and I just go mad...well done agai and hopefully in 4 days time I will be where u r! X

Hello and good luck :-) my first order was a day late but been on time since then, it is hit and miss really! Privacy best to order a day before u want them though :-)

-to feel comfortable sitting next to people on the bus -to be able to squeeze between chairs in cafe/pub/restaurant -to buy chocolate without feeling judged -to try for a baby knowing i am a healthy weight -and everything everyone else has said too!!

well done, great loss and good luck for next WI

aww well done and good luck for next WI!

aww poor you,,, good luck with next week!! xxx

i recommend exante...cheaper and the soups and shakes (and bars...yum) are loads nicer than cd (only other vlcd i tried) tho there isn't as much variety but...id take taste over variety anyday!!! at least they're palatable (i think its cos of the diary creamer...a few extra calories but weight...

lol not just eggs and grapefruit then!?! x

i don't think 4lb is too much tbh, it can come off within a matter of days (or overnight if your me) i'd stick to your diet 100% for 2 days then get on scales, its probably jus a bit of water weight so make sure you have plenty of extra water to flush your system out...well thats what i would...

i did loads of yoga last time i did a vlcd (cambridge) and that worked really well for toning up...not sure if i burned any fat tho...probably cos the calorie intake is so low...to sort cardio problem out just fit little things into your day...i usually have to run for the bus lol about all the...

thanks for post, very interesting..

lol yep know what u mean about eating everything you used to and piling the weight back on! seems maintenance is not just there to con you out of money lol! just cant do it on your own!

ewww i couldnt do it! doesnt sound too healthy does it?!

just a guess but you should lose weight with that as its less calories than your body needs to function, so i'm guessing it'll be about 1.5 - 2 lbs loss a week?!! again just a guess but well done for the 4lbs and good luck for the rest of your journey lol! x

Hope you manage to get back into the 'zone' hun! I'm only on week 2 and have picked already not a great sign but so far today I've been 100% and its nearly bedtime so I should be alright lol! Then its just tomorrow...then the next day and so on and so forth!! I'm takin it one day at a time! As...

Try and stick to low carb choices, don't restrict yourself to the point you are miserable, its a holiday, its likely that if you put anything on (theres only so much you can gain in such a short time anyway) it'll come straight back off once you're on plan again! I know this is the case for me...

aww loads of lovely bumps!!! I NEED to get pg soon! Baby bumps are making me cry lol!!!x

Hiya!! I'm trying to lose weight so me and OH can TTC, got 4 stone to lose before we can even be considered for fertility treatment (which we need as we need a sperm donor) so I'm doing exante food replacement diet to lose the bulk of it then gonna drop to healthy eating and hopefully get ball...

thanks eclipse very informative...

Had my first night out last week and managed well with fizzy water (treated myself to a diet coke too which didn't seem to affect my ketosis or weight loss). Actually had a better time than I usually do because I know for a fact I din't make a complete twat out of myself!!! Can also remember...

I went from eating about 3000 calories a day to exante and I've managed fairly well! Was 100% the first week but then went to a funeral and forgot to take a bar and so ate at the buffet (did stick to water though so quite proud) as long as you plan ahead with shakes/soups/bars then it should be...

Been wondering about this too but...I'm no where near that stage so could just be obsessing about food! I know a few people that lost alot thru cambridge diet and only one out of the 4 has put weight back on (and only a minimal amount- 8/10lbs) so it can be done :-)

HONK for me today...and hopefully for remainder of the diet, had a few mishaps recently and kicking myself!!! But I am feeling motivated now!!

Good luck!! Make lots of little goals to aim for then reward yourself each time you reach one!! (not with food tho it defeats the object lol I used to do it and its not really a reward at all cos you spend the next few days worrying that you've ruined all the hard work you did originally) Anyhow...

Hi Drench, Good luck with resisting all that!! I'd be going mental!! I can hardly resist the rubbish the OH eats and its not even all that nice! Just keep trying to imagine my wedding dress doing up!!!

Had the same problem but its all good now!!!

I work with adults with learning difficulties, love it!!!

well done everyone! I'm gonna take some pics soon maybe when I've lost the next stone!!! :) xxx

I want to be able to fit into 'normal' size clothes and I want to be able to go on roller coasters without being terrified that the bar won't go down or they'll break! I want to be able to sit on garden chairs without feeling like they're bucking under my weight!! All the health benefits will...

thanks, switched to tablet ones now! work just as well so its all good!

ooo i didn't know i couldn't use powdered sweetners...i've been using them in all the shakes cos they're minging without....oops!!! best get some tablet ones!

GOOD LUCK! I'm a serial dieter...obviously not done too well on the countless ones I've tried in the past but I can do this...I think its much easier not having to think about food...I'm a total emotional eater so not having the option has meant I have to address the issue rather than blocking...

I think that this diet is really hard until you see your first loss and then you have that to keep you going...ketosis helps though, but eating means it'll take you longer to get into so I wouldn't do it (again...haha been there and had to endure another 3 days of being hungry to get back into...

okie dokie, got to end of week 1 and had lost 1 stone :-) how good is tht! And I'd had 2 salads during the week...only another 5 days til weigh in no 2! xx

10lbs!!! Already...am flabbergasted lmao! But happy...its the same rate (at the mo) that I got on CD so am loving the fact its cheaper! Isn't exante higher in fat though...anyone? Tried doing a comparison but maybe i messed it up lol. I know its about 200 more calories but for people with a...
