Hi, I'm a sunday weigher. Just started slim and save after finding cambridge too expensive. Lost 10 lb! Woop woop!

Thanks MissMiff. Good to know it can be done and huge congrats on your weight loss. May and anyone else doing Cambridge, I recommend joining the Platinum Players group on facebook (think you have to be doing Cambridge as a prerequisite of joining so sorry to anyone else doing a different diet)...

Wow! Well done Tracy-that's fantastic! I'm looking forward to feeling better and dressing better! x

Hi May, I've got a similar amount to lose. Daunting prospect eh? We can do it though. Have you read about Emma Sealey? She lost almost 20 stone in 19 months on Cambridge so it can be done. Here is one of the links on her story: I lost 20st in 20 months using a photo diary and found love | The...

Thanks guys! Glad there is lots of positivity here. I'm gonna take it a stone at a time-get in the stone, get down the stone, get out the stone and repeat! Let the Christmas challenge begin!

Incidentally 9 stone is a whole Beyonce Knowles. Jeeze!

Hi WeMITTS, Serial newbie here. I've been on these boards many times before. Stayed and lost weight through various diets, strayed, fallen off the wagon and skulked around under the radar for a while. I've also been offered and have refused weight loss surgery (I decided that it will only...

MY BMI was in it's 50's when I did my nurse training and I passed all of my OSCEs (basic life support, control and restraint, manual handling etc). They may advise you to lose weight and I was even sent to occupational health...... but if you are physically capable of doing the job, they cannot...

Try and have all the packs Mally-so you don't get malnourished along the way! I find that if I don't manage to have them all on one day, I am much more hungry the next day! Will be half way by the end of next week and all things good, i'll have lost 3 stone by then! Woop woop! Samprand - 1...

Saw this lady on facebook who lost over 19 stone in less than 19 months on the Cambridge diet!!!! Seeing her lose so much weight in such a short space of time has filled me with hope that I can achieve this too...

In about a month or so, I may fit into this category....

Hi, Zest for life, It might be worth asking your GP to refer you to a community mental health team for an assessment with a psychiatrist if you want to find out. It may just be cyclothymia or some other emotional instability but as I don't know you I wouldn't want to hazard a guess. The most...

I've just ordered a body brush online as I have heard that it helps increase blood flow to the skin and also helps to renew collagen...and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than endemologie. I was wonering if anyone knew whether it might help with loose skin? I have so much to lose that I think I...

Yes Suzie. I think what you can and cannot eat after WLS depends on the type of surgery you have and the diet advice given by the professionals...but this thread wasn't intended to be about what you can and can't eat after surgery or to scaremonger or to say tat WLS is wrong. It was just about...

Well done on all your big losses everyone and showing me it can be done. I think i'm doing the right thing.

Thanks Ali-I've not heard of some of the resources you recommended, I'll look into them and huge congrats on your loss. For me, I know that maintenance will be the hardest part as it is something that i've never been able to do before. I have nothing against weight loss surgery or anyone that...

They've all gone now! Does anyne know if they're gonna bring then back? They were so nice and summery and great with crushed ice!

I forgot that I wrote this post but reading it and all your really encouraging responses has made me even more determined to do it on my own, without weight loss surgery. Thank you to all who replied!

Think i'll do 100 days on Cambridge as I'm still a bit vulnerable and think I need the discipline of weekly weight-ins. Then once I feel a bit more in control I'll order a taster pack and swap so I can save money for my new wardrobe!

Oh silly me! I've just seen it. Thanks Starlight:)

Hi all, i'm doing the cambridge diet at the mo and due to being tall and having a lot to lose I have 4 packs a day. I came across slim and save online which seems much less expensive and there seems to be more variety. I do like the fact that I have a counsellor that weighs me weekly to keep me...

Hi everyone, I'm doing the Cambridge diet. I had my first weigh in today and lost 12lb. I would love to join this challenge, sticking to 100 days and hopefully a lost of 4 stone or more in that time frame before reviewing things and doing another 100 days. Would that be ok?

Thanks for the warm welcome and good luck wishes everyone! Well done on your loss Bun! James-you have done incredible! What an inspiration. I really hope I can do it without surgery. I'm not sure if I will be able to stick to a VLCD all the way but I plan to commit to 12 weeks and go from there...

Hi Katy, I can really relate, having been bullied inthe past and I also have experinced feeling really self conscious and a bit paranoid in public. Have you tried Cognitive Behavioural Therapy? It might really help to change the negative way you view yourself. It's available for free just ask...

Hi WeMITTs, I have been here before but hope that this will be the last time. I've been overweight since I was a kid and over the years have managed to eat myself up to over 30 stone! I'm on the waiting list for a gastric sleeve/bypass but I'm ambivalent about the op. I think I'd feel better...

My BMI is 61. I saw a surgeon yesterday for a consultation for weight loss surgery (I've been waiting a year for this appointment). He told me that it is very unlikely that someone with a BMI over 50 can reach a normal weight without having surgery. This made me feel sad and also quite angry...

I've just tried a sample of the new mango flavour foodpacks and I love it. I've been told by my counsellor that Cambridge are releasing a limited number of them to see how well they do....anyone know when they will be coming out?

OMG I so could have written that post myself. My (now ex boyfriend) despite being very overweight himself did exactly the same to me. I totally understand how devastating that it. I'm doing the Cambridge diet...have been doing it off and on over the last few years. It's a food replacement diet...

Me too. It's this or surgery and I have an appointment with a surgeon at the end of July. If I can stick it out till then, I can stick it out to get the rest of it off! Good luck

Hi all, I read on another thread that Exante is one of the least expensive VLCDs. I'm currently doing the cambridge diet and have 4 packs a day (as i'm over 5'7). I don't really like any of the soups and just have the shakes, bars and tetras (ready made cartons). This costs me £52 a week. A...

3lbs off for me this week. Will try and be even better next week! 41 lbs altogether! Yay! JoeyJoJo (63 lbs to lose - 55 lbs to go!) The Moog (55 lbs to lose - 31lbs to go) Ria (14lbs to lose - 12lbs to go) Kittybluefur (60 lbs trgt) Geekette (70lbs to lose - 12 off, 58lbs to go) Nee (60lbs to...

Hi cee cee I can definately relate to a lot of what you have said. My childhood name was Earthquake :cry: I have always been overweight with my age matching my weight for more years than I care to rememember. Am currently at uni for the 3rd time (and my spelling and maths is still rubbish)...

Well done Margi! Keep it up. a lb is a lb-better to have one off than one on! AND Rainbow Rose...it's better to stay the same than gain a lb....it'll just mean more to lose next week eh? Focus on the positives...getting healthier, fitter, how much you have lost (rather than how much you still...

Of course you count it-it's probably the best loss in a week that you'll get and so is a mahoosive boost. Plus althuogh a lot of it will be glycogen and water, some of it will be fat too!

Hi Roadmutha, Your post really hit a nerve for me as I too remember being age 12 and 12 stone...my age has matched my weight a lot. Do not want to be 31 this year and 31 stone!!!! I too have thought about sugery and have even referred myself but I want to be able to do it myself. I work...

6lbs off for me this week. Woo Hoo! Have updated my loss to include weight lost before starting this threat (since Feb 13th) and increased my goal weight instead ...too confusing to remember otherwise! JoeyJoJo (63 lbs to lose - 55 lbs to go!) The Moog (55 lbs to lose - 34lbs to go) Ria (14lbs...

6 lbs off for me this week. Woo Hoo!

Hi Shauny, Well done on your loss. I have a lot of weight to lose too. I'm trying to break it down into small stages which helps it seem less daunting. You can do it x

Hey...just wanted to say been there and fallen of the wagon big style too. Lost 8 stone on LL last yr and gained 9 back...that is a failure (but I learned from it and so am back to try again). You have not failed, you have just had a blip. Draw a line under it and start again. This time I am...

Thanks for all the support. I'm 30lbs down in just over a month. Hope to continue with Cambridge 100% at least until I can get myself under 20 stone...aiming to get to that stage by the end of July. Have signed up to the Jan-July challenge. It's not been an easy diet and there have been...

I really want this to be the last ever diet I do. I know what's good for me and what's not but I still find myself making bad choices. After I got my packs today as a 'reward' after weigh in I have eaten 2 bars. I know it will be unlikely to have an overall affect on my weight loss but it...

4lbs for me, that 30lbs since I started and 12lb since I signed up for the July challenge :) JoeyJoJo (63 lbs to lose - 55 lbs to go!) The Moog (55 lbs to lose - 36lbs to go) Ria (14lbs to lose - 12lbs to go) Kittybluefur (60 lbs trgt) Geekette (70lbs to lose - 12 off, 58lbs to go) Nee (60lbs...

4lbs for me this week :)

I might step up to sole source plus or 810 do once i'm under 20 stone :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: which I should be by the end of July. I'll get a taster of sole source plus in week 13...but am a bit worried as I did plus before and found it hard to stick to the portion sizes...found it to be a...

Hi all, I'm really struggling on 100% Cambridge. Feel tired all the time and struggle to concentrate at work. I have 4 packs a day as i'm over 5'7 but still feel hungry at times too. I want to be able to commit to 100 days at least before stepping up as I should have got about 5 stone off by...

5lb for me this week! Yay

For me, I have done the Cambridge diet more than once. Lost most of the weight, gained it back and then some. I want to make this the last time. I'm 30, not in a relationship, don't have children and live like a hermit because I feel so self-conscious and embarassed about how I look. My...

Let's face it, even when you are in ketosis there are times when you feel hungry on this diet. I have no intention of breaking the diet as I plan to be on it until the end of the year. But I was just wondering what people do to make things a little easier at those times of hunger, boredom...

I know i'm a bit late but hope you'll let me join. I'm doing Cambridge and want to lose 20lbs a month until July which equals a total of 80lbs....a tall order but can be done if I stick to the programme! slimmermcs2012 50lbs JoeyJoJo (63 lbs to lose - 56 lbs to go!) The Moog (55 lbs to lose)...

I lost 7lbs! Yay me..not if I can do that every week i'll have all this weight off in no time :)

Is it too late for me to join? Only been on my diet for 2 weeks. Want to be under 20 stone by July so plan on sticking it out with Cambrige till then and maybe move onto a diet which involves actual food.

Hi everyone, I get weighed on Sunday too. I started the Cambridge diet 2 weeks ago. I lost 11lb at the end of the first week and am hoping to lose 6lb this sunday. It'll prob slow down to between 3 and 5lbs a week after that. I have stuck to it 100% and it has been so hard without food but I...

I went out with a guy who would kiss but only give me a pack on the lips...it turned out that he just wasn't very confident at full on snogging. I just had to be patient and encouraging and he did eventually step up a gear. Good luck P.S. Check for ketone breath first...might be another...

No, i'll have a look there. Thanks sugar! I did read that in OA they follow the 12 step programme and that it refers to a higher being which for some people relates to religion but for others more abou spirituality generally. I was wondering if any any overweight people actually go or more...

Hi, I've been lurking here a while, hanging my head in shame as I was here about the same time last yr pledging that this would be the last time and that I would lose the weight but yet again I somehow managed to block out all those hopes and plans to eat instead. I've just started back on...

Hi, Been lurking here a while. I've just come back to Cambrige diet. My boyfriend broke up with me and i've just moved to a new area. I'm in dire need of support as I'm just not sure I can do such an extreme diet on my own (with over 10 stone to lose). I plan to start seeing a counsellor this...

What about extra mints. They are sugar and citric acid free. My counsellor suggested that the odd one wont hurt.

Try lipotrim available at various chemists.

Gosh. I've been away and off programme for a while. Going to have to change my Christmas target to 4.5 stone; rather than the original 7! I could have been halfway there by now. Just goes to show how quickly time passes and what you can achieve in a short space of time. In the time i've been...

It's a good idea but you would have to introduce some kind of re-feeding as 3 days would prob get you into ketosis and introducing carbs soon after would result in weight gain (water) which might make you feel a bit downtrodden and trigger further binging. On the 4th-6th or so days you should...

Wow that's fast weight loss! Amazing! I would love to be 6 stone lighter in 12 weeks of Cambridge. I always thought it was just men on VLCDs that could lose weight that quickly. I want to lose 7 stone by xmas but worked out that if I managed to lose 5lbs a week on average that I would lose 10...

Unfortunately yes! It's a hard thing to admit to but I have 15-17 stone to lose. I want to lose 7 stone by Christmas with Cambridge ss (totally do-able if I stick to it). After this I might carry on with Cambridge or revert to ww or something depending on how I feel but for the first 6 months...

Don't know how I missed this post but i'm definately in. I want to lose 7 stone by then on Cambridge sole source. It will be totally do-able if I stick to the packs and 4 litres of water a day!!!

I wanna lose 2 stone (that includes the 13lbs of water i've put on in the last few days which should be off in a week or so)! Day 1 of cambridge all over again today!

That little 1 week lapse has caused me a 13lb gain. Nevermind it'll be off in a week. I am back on track from today-no stories!! My boyfriend has decided that he can't hack the Cambridge diet and is opting for low GI instead. But I know cambridge works and brings fast results which is what I...

Had a lapse but getting back on track today. Will try out all of your suggestions to get me over the wall back into ketosis.

My boyfriend and I started this diet together-2 weeks ago he wen6t off track and in the last couple of days I've broken the diet. I really need advice on how to re-focus myself and keep going when6 climbing the wall to get back into ketosis on SS. I feel really guilty as i'd been doing so well...

I've been doing Cambridge sole source for aboyt 4 weeks now and everyone keeps saying how now that i'm in ketosis I shouldn't feel hunger. Whilst I admit that my appetite is reduced I do still get hunge pangs and still miss food. I usually deal with it by distracting myself, drinking more or if...

Hi Charleypolequeen, Why are you feeling crap? I know it can be hard but keep going. I went to the pub with a few friends today and had to explain to everyone why I was only having soda water (if I hadn't of said they'd have kept insisting). I thought I wouldn't be able to relax and en6joy...

Yes. I usually lose it fast at first as I have so much to lose which is why I was so disappointed at week 2.

I take psyllium husk capsules from Holland and Barrats....it's basically the same stuff as the fibre powder that Cambridge sells but much cheaper and hasn't affected ketosis...it's not a laxative, just a bulking agent but seems to help.

I'm feeling much better thanks and have hung in there...I lost 6lb this week (8lb first thing this morning on my scales) so am very happy. Maybe the higher carb content of the bars/porridge does make a difference...I will stick to one of each per day from now on!

Lost 6lb this week. Yay!

I'm a bit late with this one but would like to lose 8lb on top of where I am now by the end of May to get me into the next stone...should be totally do-able if I stick to it 100%

I lost 13lb in my first week, 3lb in my second. I know a loss is till a lost but when I did the diet before I lost 5lb a week-the bigger you are the faster you can lose weight (at least in the initial stages) and I was hoping for the same. I've not been measured but have gone down a size (can't...

Fingers crossed for next week eh? p.s. I have 3 shakes an6d 1 bar (4 in total)

Hi, thanks for your replies. I've calmed down a bit now and am feeling better. I wrote that message just after I came in as a means to prevent myself from 'eating' my feelings....I am begining to find myself experiencing more feelings now that I am not burying them under a whole heap of food and...

My second weigh in with the Cambridge diet and I lost 3lb..neither I nor my counsellor was impressed considering that I have over 10 stone to lose and I usually lose weight very fast initially. My counsellor's partner (who helps out) then chips in and asked me how many porridge packs and how...

Hi Sue G, The Cambridge diet is a food-replacement diet of shakes, soups and bars an porridge. You also have to drink lots of water-4 litres a day! You have weight counsellor/consultant that you visit weekly for a weigh in and for support. Mine is really good as he does blogs availiable to...

Be aware of the disapproving comments from others when they tell you to stop losing weight..people said it to me even though I was still quite overweight. Sometimes (not in a malicious way) people have in their minds a picture of how you look and they don't like it when this picture changes. Be...

Hi fellow wemitts, I rejoined the Cambridge diet a week and a half ago and a stone and a half has already gone. I want to get 8 stone off by Christmas which should be achieveable on Cambridge Sole Source. I know Christmas seems a long way off but it isn't really. This will bring me under 20...

In no way do Cambridge endorse this advice I have found the following has helped me and I have stayed in ketosis as these drinks have no sugar or citric acid: Perfectly clear straw and kiwi/red apple, dr pepper/coke zero. Cambride used to allow them but now say no..not sure if it is because they...

Hi, Thanks for all your replies and support. I think I will try breaking it down into smaller 7lb chunks, that's a good idea. I'm aiming to stay on a food replacement diet until June when it is my 30th birthday, my dad's 60th and my parent's 30th wedding aniversary all around the same time...

It's day 1 of lighterlife (again). I want to commit to doing 6 months on this and the possibly move onto weight watchers or something as i'm not sure how safe the diet is in the long term. I've been successful before in the past on lighterlife (having lost and then regained 8 stone...

Hi, I can't access the page from clicking on the link...anyone else know how I can access the article?

CBT can be very helpful..........but the NHS waiting list is up to 2 years in some areas.

I know the first few days are going to be the hardest...avoiding the sunday roast will be hard......wish me luck.

Hi everyone, I've converted to Lipotrim after struggling to afford lighterlife but haven't started yet as there are a few things that are worrying me. On both cambrige and lighterlife in the past I've been given 4 foodpacks a day but on lipotrim you only get 3. Each food pack with LL is 125...

I think I will do the 100 days then change. Not sure I am strong enough to go it alone. Each week in the group people ask how much you've lost and because I've got so much to lose I usually lose more than most people each week which gives me a bit of a buzz. Plus if you have a slip up it gets...

Hi, I'm currently doing lighterlife but it's quite expensive. I'm thinking of changing to lipotrim as I have heard that it is similar but am worried how I will manage without the 2 hours of group support/counselling each week. Can anyone on it give me some advice? Ellie

Hi, Thanks for all your posts-I found them really helpful in getting me through last night and I remained abstinent-Yay! I thought of all the clothes in my wardrobe that are too small now that I want to be wearing in 2008. Despite the temptation I stuck to it and feel pleased that I did and I...

I am so surrounded by temptation right now that my crooked thinking is coming into play. It's saying it's the last night of the year, you could have a final blowout and start afresh on new year's day. I was back at work (well placement really) today and and because I have been off for the...

Thanks Mike. I can't afford to not be here right now on account of being a poor student but when I qualify and get a proper job I hope to be out

Thanks soonto be gorgeous-how much can you have though?

P.S. My first weigh in is on Wednesday evening (it wont be a full weeks loss but it's all going in the right direction)! My other tip is don't come off it till you get to goal. It's not worth it. My mistake was coming off it for Christmas, getting the taste of food and then not being able to...

Hmm tips. This time I am trying not to focus so much on the weight in terms of the amount I need to lose or the goal weight I have to get to. I have so much to lose that sometimes getting to a goal weight or thinking I need to lose 15 stone makes it seems like an impossible task. I am trying to...

Hi, I've been told that you can drink Coca cola and Dr Pepper zero and certain varieties of perfectly clear on the CD. What are the rules for this?

Hi Diva, Thanks for your response. Your questions have really made me think. I also had a look at the other forum (I had never been there before but now that I have I will definately be back). You're exactly right. Most of my reasons for losing weight now come from quite a negative 'getting...

Hi, I'm 2 days in and at 28 stone am the heaviest I have ever been. I feel so ashamed and disgusted in myself. Plus I know that if I were to do another diet like weight watchers or slimming world that it would take years to lose the weight and I'd become so frustrated that i'd end up breaking...

Hi, I am a fellow returner and it is day 2 of LL I intended to start both before Christmas and also again on boxing day but it didn't happen. However, I have managed to get through 2 days of abstinence-yay! I am just worried about new year's now as I've not been doing it for long and will...

Hi there, Yes this has happened to me and more than once I might add! Lol! I lost 8 stone in 5 months the year before last. i moved back home to my parents Christmas 2006 and came off LL (before I reached my goal) and spent that year regaining the lost weight. My problem is not the losing...

I think it is harder the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th time around because you know what you are in for this time around! Lol!

I just restarted again as I couldn't get into it. How are you all getting on now?

Yes I stuggle with sleep on LL...must be all the thoughts of what I am going to do when I am thin! Lol! Seriously though I think I feel kind of wired because of the hunger late at night so try and have my last foodpack straight before going to bed which you might find helpful. I also get cramps...

Hi, Thanks for your replies. I'm on day 2 now. Feeling awful and headachy. Had a bar which I know is naughty for day 2 but thought it would be better than eating. I think tomorrow is likely to be the hardest if I can get through that and into ketosis then I should be OK. Congraulations on...

Hi guys, I have restarted LL more times than I care to remember. Intended to begin boxing day but ended up binging in the evening. Same happened yesterday so I've really gotta get myself back on track. So hard with everyone stuffing their faces around me!! The *****! Hunger hasn't been too...

Phew I am pleased that I am not alone! I am the largest person in my LL group and was struggling with the fact that most of the people in my group will have reached their target in 100 days and I'm looking at a minimum of 300? But the plus side of this is that because I have so much to lose, I...

Hi, I'm Ellie. I have just restarted lighterlife. I've got a long long way to go but Cinderella must go to the ball next year and being fat just wont do!

I so didn't want to be the one to write this post but I guess it's about time I was honest with myself. I need to lose at least 15 stone and plan to do this with LL. It seems a hell of a long way to go and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has a lot of weight to lose. Maybe we can...

Hi, Thanks for the info. I didn't realise. I just thought that they tasted exactly the same and were less expensive. I will try and steer clear of the zero drinks!

I know when I get into ketosis it wont be as bad and I keep trying to distract myself. I haven't eaten but do feel hungry.

I heard someone on the cambridge diet say that they can have the following drinks because they are free from citric acid. E.g. certain varieties of perfectly clear and that Dr Pepper and Coca Cola zero. I'm guessing it would be the same for LL as the diets are similar. Also the cambridge water...

Hi, I dont think I saw the recipe for Ferrero Rochers on here. This recipe is ideal if you are at home all day or you could change the quantities if not.
