Ug. TOTM. Just jumped on scales, have gained 4-5lbs :cry:... gutted. Fingers puffy, rings tight, probably full of water. Dreading weigh-in tomorrow. Have stuck 100% to plan, total SS. Grumpy. :sigh: Toria xxx

Phew. Thank goodness today is almost over...or at least I'm finally out of the office:party0011:. It was sheer food-hell today: I got in early and first thing that hit me was the smell of Friday breakfast bacon sarnies (we have a restaurant in our building), but I resisted - just!. Then my...

Thanks Tess & Cookie for the congrats - I'm so pleased I found this website :D:D:D - I'm not alone!! Righty, made it through the first day of my second week sole sourcing and all is going well. I'm amazed as I've had yet another horrible house move stressy day :mad: but I have resisted...

Evenin' Thanks for all the messages of support, you guys really make this 'journey' so much more bearable!! I had my weigh in tonight and am pleased, no wait, overjoyed to report a nice big fat loss of 7lbs :bliss: Which means I've done 1 stone in two weeks :eek:. Wooohooooo! You...

Mornin' Well, despite starting the day with another raging sore throat, I'm actually in a really good mood :D I've got my weigh-in later today so I'm very excited about that. This has been my first week of sole sourcing versus the 1200 plan from the previous week so it will be interesting to...

I'm thinking of getting the mousse stuff too when I see my CDC later this evening. I thought about it when I had my butterscotch shake yesterday, it reminds me so much of the butterscotch angel delight I used to have as a kid. So were the lumpy bits from the shake or from the mousse powder...

Hello and welcome :D Congrats on your 6lb loss, I think that's really good. Well done for sticking to the plan, I'm sure you'll do amazingly well. Toria xxx

Hey, I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rubbish time of it at the moment :hug99: I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better. Be proud of yourself for not going on a food binge, try to stay positive and concentrate on taking care of yourself and doing what's right for you. I'm sure...

Well done for your 4lb loss :clap: Toria xxx

Yay! to your 2lb loss this week :D - well done you. Keep your chin up, here's hoping they get you in for that MRI super quick. Toria xxx

Hiya, Good for you for going to your zumba classes. I tried salsa once :o (and very embarrassingly only once!) after discovering I have the co-ordination of an elephant on stilts. It was not pretty. I had to feign a sudden ankle injury to run away from the whole sorry mess :D. Any exercise...

Well I wasn't going to write my diary tonight as I'm in a big bad mood but then I thought I can't only bounce on here when everything is cheery otherwise it wouldn't be much of a diary! I started with a great day, no hunger etc etc...all super positive and in a glowing mood. Work was great...

Hello again :) Well I've been offline for a few days, feeling not very well and generally rather fed up. However today I woke up and felt much much better :wee: I've managed to stick to my three packs a day, so totally 100% sole sourcing, although it has been really hard. Friday was...

Hi Cookie, Glad you're having a better time of it this past week. Your post took me right back to the days when my boy was small and I'd have my one day off from work a week that I'd spend with him. Well I say 'day off' but if anything it was more like the other way around - I'd go to work...

Hiya, I've been reading your diary - just wanted to say thanks for posting and well done for sticking to the plan. Good luck for your weigh-in tomorrow, I'm sure you'll have a great result :D. Toria xxx

Hey there Spolly, Sorry to hear you're having a tough time at the moment. I totally sympathise with you on the back thing, I ruptured a disc myself last year and still have pain, on and off...it's not much fun at all :mad:. Is the next step an MRI - do you know how long you will have to wait...

Hey Tessieg1! Am just catching up on your diary this morning as I've not been around for a few days. So sorry for you, reading about your gain, especially when you've been working so hard as well. I really feel for you and want to give you a big hug :hug99:. I agree with your CDC and suspect...

Hi miss-r, Am catching up on your diary asI haven't been online for a few days. I just wanted to say don't worry about your blip, at the end of the day you did the right thing and got straight back on track. I don't think there's many people who could resist a mini-flake staring at them...

Hi Alex and welcome! Congrats on the great weight loss :D Toria

I think your CDC is absolutely right - focus on the positives and forget the negatives. You could've said 'sod it', trashed the diet and spent the whole weekend eating all of the food that you'd bought - but you didn't and that should be applauded :clap: It sounds like you're on track too for...

Good luck for your weigh-in tomorrow! Toria xxx

Hi Rose, Sorry to hear you are having a few struggles, you're definitely not alone on that one!! You're doing really well and I'm sure you'll feel much better soon :) Toria xxx

Hi again friends...:) Well I got through SS day 1 but I was a bit shocked at how hard I found it! I'd been doing the 1200 plan the previous week and in the last few days of that had cut down on my actual food intake dramatically 'in practice' for sole sourcing. I thought that way it'd be a...

Hi rose1987, Just wanted to say congrats on your massive 12lb loss - well done you! Keep going, you're doing great :D Toria xxx

Hi there miss-r, Just wanted to say thanks for posting, have been reading your diary - you've been doing really well, a stone gone in just two weeks! I probably spent about six weeks getting to that point when I was doing the Slimming World diet. I'm just starting SS after being on the 1200...

Hi Babynurse, I'm relatively new as well...I started CD just over a week ago but had to do the 1200 plan for medical reasons :( until my GP would sign a form. I lost 7lbs at my first weigh-in last night and now I have that GP signature I'm starting full-on SS'ing today. Good luck to you and...

Hiya, Glad to hear you're getting on ok. Good for you for not letting negative comments get you down - I wonder if your failed LL colleague is secretly jealous that you're getting on with it and staying determined rather than admitting defeat. I too have suddenly found myself with extra time...

Hi there, Just wanted to say thanks for posting, I've been reading your diary :). I'm just starting out on my CD journey, all going well so far. Sorry to hear about your husband being ill, I hope he starts to get better soon poor chap. I must say, with all that stress and worry going on...

Hi Glitzy77 It's funny you should say that...I did a week of the 1200 plan and started dropping down to SS, which I am now doing totally from today and I've woken up this morning with a sore throat like I'm getting a cold. I figured it was just this time of year :), especially as everyone at...

Woop woop! 7lbs!! I'm so happy AND I get to start SS from tomorrow :D:D:D Yay! :party0049: Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support! Toria xxx

Hi Tessieg, I've just read through your diary, thank you for posting it. That work schedule of yours sounds pretty tough, all of those different shifts plus looking after your 2 year old...! I don't know how you do it and keep with the diet as well. Just wanted to say good for you and well...

Hi Redhead, Reading your first post struck a definite chord with me, so many things you mentioned are the same here. I smiled at the comment about others complimenting your hair or jewellery...so many times people tell me I'm wearing a really nice necklace (and I don't think my taste in...

Woohoo! - My GP signed the form, I'm so pleased :D:D:D SS here I come - I've got my first weigh-in tonight and will be able to pick up all of my supplies for next week's proper full-on diet offensive :party0011: Bring it on! Toria xxx

Hi Cookie, I've just been reading through your diary and wanted to say congrats on your losses and hard work so far. 4lbs this week is still pretty great I reckon...I've done both Weight Watchers and Slimming World and I would have given my right arm to have a loss of 4lb in one week!! The...

Well done Spolly - I bet you're so pleased! You've done so well, it's amazing just how much you have lost in such a short space of time. Toria xxx

Hey there, White Tulip I wanted to just nip in and say that I read your diary from the very start the other weekend and it really inspired me to get off my backside and get myself sorted out. I was only googling to find out the differences between Lighterlife, CD and Slimfast and I...

Hi again, Day 5 down! Day 6 almost over.....it's WEIGH IN day tomorrow and I'm keen to find out if I've lost any weight. I'm doing the 1200 and have probably come in under that most days but still, hoping for something good tomorrow. Talking of tomorrow, I've got the dreaded GP...

Hi again, I got through day 3 and am almost through day 4...this diet is going well :D. My GP appointment can't come round quick enough (roll on Tuesday!) so looking forward to being able to SS. I'm considering this week as a good time to try out the different flavours of the shakes and soups...

Wow! What a friendly welcome :D Thank you puddingtoast, determinator, Cookie77, Tessieg1, natlou & Spolly for cheering me on. I need all the encouragement I can get, trust me! Well, I've made it through my second day without too much trauma - although to be honest I won't feel like I'm...

Hi there and good evening everyone! This is my first post on this forum :sign0144: ....I've been lurking for a couple of weeks or so reading up on the Cambridge diet and marvelling at all of the great success stories. A lot of the posts on here have been so inspirational - well done to so...
