I know exactly how you feel because I'm doing the same!! It's silly cause I want to lose more and I know how quick it can come off. I've just come back from London for a couple of days, where I ate far to much and made myself really poorly and next week were going camping so I kind of think I...

Hi Sarah How's are you getting on? Gem x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Hi had my 11th weigh in last night and to my shock lost 2lbs. After nibbling on food for three days this week I was over the moon. Lost 2 stone 9lbs so far which I'm chuffed about! Going to be good this week might start keeping a diary again of what water and shakes I'm having to help keep me...

Amazing!! Well done on your weight loss. I want to lose another 1 & 1/2 stone with sole source. Which will take me to my target and the move up the steps. The weight I lose moving up the steps will give me a bit of leeway if a put on few lbs. I've gone weeks without being tempted did 8 weeks...

My heads been all over the place this week need to re focus, been picking at food and then being feeling really awful afterwards. Need to get a grip and weigh in is tomorrow!! How's your week going? I hope it's better then mine! x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Congratulations on your weight loss!!! What a brill start!! Here's to next week!! I know what you mean, if you can make good choices you will be fine. I've been out twice whilst on the diet. The first time I stayed in control which was more positive as I felt like I had control over the diet...

Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow, I will look forward to your update x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Today is going good had a difficult day yesterday, I have found it difficult since going out on Saturday and it's taken me ages to get back into ketosis, 4 days! Back in ketosis today, back on track and my head is focused once again! How about you? x starting weight: 13st 10. Week...

I want to lose another 1 stone and 10lbs but like you I may go at little bit further to give me a bit of leeway. Might stay on sole source until I get to my goal of 9stone 10 and then if I lose whilst moving up the steps that will be a bonus. Wow 9lbs to go that's brill X x starting weight...

Yes Sarah your right, how far off are you from your target? well done on your maintain as well, for the first time I'm dreading weigh in day and it's taken me 4 days to get back into ketosis from Saturdays binge! x

Yeah it is far easier by not going as it takes you out of your routine, out of ketosis also if you don't eat within the plan x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Yes I feel the same I've lost just over 2 stone and fitting in all my small clothes (which are a size 14) and everyone is saying I look great which in some ways makes me more complacent I think. I want to lose another 1 stone and 10lbs at least so not far to go. I was really good up until last...

Hi 2lb is good but I know what you mean, you may have a bigger weight lose this week. I went out for a meal on Saturday night and ended up turning Saturday into a binge day and have regretted it since! We went for a Mexican and I basically had a meal full of carbs so it's taking me ages to get...

Hi maggie I know exactly what you mean about the height thing. Well I'm on week 9 now and have lost 2 stone 4lbs so far doing some source. Really pleased with my success. I'm hoping to get down to 9stone 10 and then I will have lost 4 stone. I've got quite a curvy figure so not sure if I will...

Good luck with your weigh in x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Ive been carefully who I've told if that makes sense. But I'm quite strong headed so the people that tell me it won't work or you'll pile the weight back just makes me more determined to prove them wrong. Take what they say with a pinch of salt and unless they've tried it for themselves it's...

Thanks that's made me feel great! How long did you do Cambridge before? This is my first time x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

No don't worry about getting bored some weeks I've only had the chocolate briks for all three meals. I do worry about trying other things and I just stick to what I like now. I haven't done any excercise as my consultant had to me not too, and been having good weight loses so dont want to do...

No slip ups, did 6 weeks 100% and then had a meal out and was reasonably good and lost two that week which I was chuffed with. Got a busy August so don't know how I will do, going away for a week, London for two days and another meal out. Gutted really as would love to stick to it for another 6...

Wow that's amazing I lost 9lb in my first week! I bet you feel great. I'm about half way now, lost 2st 1lb in total, want to lose 4 stone so another 1st 13lbs to go! Will be having my 8th weigh in on Friday! What shakes etc are you having? Gem x

The day i went into ketosis I felt great, didn't feel hungry, had loads of energy and felt brilliant. U've got over the worst now and you just need to stay focused, how much weight do you want to lose? x

How are you feeling today? If your not in ketosis today you will be very soon. x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Hi veggiebabe What day are you on? I was in ketosis by day three, stick with it it's all worth it and it does get easier. These first few days are the hardest ever, try to occupy yourself and just focus on each day. I kept a diary of what flavour shakes I had and how much water and each day...

Had my weigh in on Friday, lost 2lbs. Chuffed as I want out for a meal on the Saturday before, wascreasonablybgood when i went out had some olives, a few pieces of feta a piece of bread, ham and then had half a chicken breast, one porato and some veg. Got straight back into the shakes the next...

It will be worth the wait, I was eager to start too x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Are you doing sole source? Sorry if I've asked you that already. I'm doing sole source, and my consultant says it will slow my weight loss down. But there is mixed advice going round I think. The book says you can do gentle exercise but everyone seems to say different. x

We will! And I am never letting myself get this overweight again as I don't want to go through this again as much as I think the diet is good it's so hard at times x

Thank you that means so much, I feel like I've got to my half way point but feel like I can't reach the end in time. No idea what the rush is but just want to get to target and eat normally and be able to control my weight before it becomes a major problem again. x x

I think with me is that I need to be striped and re-educated on how to eat again, it's been really hard this week with eating on Saturday it was too soon for me to eat I think, and I know if I didn't get back on the shakes I would easily slip back into my old ways. The only problem is August is...

Oh no and you were doing so well, I'm finding it hard with the sunshine cooked everyone a Bbq last night and didn't have any which is good but it was hard! Went out for that meal on sat was really strange to eat and almost didn't trust myself so I was glad to get back onto the shakes on Sunday x

Can you call your consultant and ask her which way is best. I would probably go before as impatient and I couldn't wait to start lol x

Wow that's great I beat you were pleased with that! I ate my first meal in Saturday and a meal out with the husband but found it really weird and hard to eat was glad to get back on the shakes on sunday. Got my weigh in on Friday do will see how it goes Gem x

Had my weigh on friday lost 2lb! I am 1lb off losing two stone!! Only a small loss this week even though it was my 6th week of sticking to it 100% but in the last three weeks I've lost 12lb so I suppose it's just evening out. Went out for a meal on Saturday and it was very strange to eat again...

Yeah totally agree, it wouldn't put me off doing the diet as I know it's only short term but it does make you think about what's going in your body. I'm on sole source so not had any fresh fruit or veg for almost six weeks now x

I have wondered what exactly we are putting in our bodies but didn't dare to look, taking the ignorance is bliss approach! It is quite frightening but it's not forever, although when it's the only thing I'm having I do wonder what it's doing to my body the only benefit is that maybe with all the...

I don't think the diet helps with it being a very low calorie diet, and I think it just makes other triggers bigger if that makes sense. I'm lucky don't really suffer with migraines but I can get really bad headaches that last for days x

2.5lb is brill particulary if you were naughty, I stick to it 100% and sometimes only lose 3lbs x

How are you migraines? x

Yeah!! You are out off the 3lb club!!! I bet your chuffed, shows how sole source plus is suiting you much better even with naughty things as well!! Well done hun really pleased for you x x

Stick with it, the first few days are so hard but it will be worth it, drink lots I was drinking g 4litres of water some days to keep the hunger off. And yes keeping your self occupied works to. You've got through the majority of day one now, well done and look forward to your first weigh in x x

Yes I cried on my first day to!! I was so eager to start but had no idea how hard the first few days would be. I think that's what keeps me motivated sometimes as I don't want to do that again! x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

I had to wait for my consultant to come back offer hold to start and ican remember feeling like that too x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

I'm still doing sole source and finding it good, I have to keep focused its really hard but really easy at the same time. Lost another 4lbs this week so very pleased with that, on 1st 11lbs in 5 weeks. x

The weight loss will keep you motivated. In the first week take it day by day, concertrate on doing the diet for that day only. The first week is hard, but after that it gets easier. On day one and day two I never even thought I would get to my weigh in day. By day three I was in ketosis. Asked...

Hi lovette84 Stick with day 2 was the hardest for me you need to get into ketosis which can happen from day 3-5 I think and then you will feel great, take each day as it comes and try and keep yourself busy. It does get easier. I'm coming to the end of my fourth week and feel really motivated...

No not bars they are premade shakes that are in little cartons and yes you can get them from your consultant the strawberry is yack, banana I've not tried but don't like banana flavoured things but the chocolate is yummy! Great if you haven't got a lot of time and just want to grab something...

We sure can I've never done a diet before and hit my target weight, so I can't wait to achieve that for the first time!! Loving this diet though it's hard but worth it cause you feel like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel x x

Wow that's amazing i only lost 9lb in my first week and then got 3lb and the 3lb again. I'd love a big loss now!! Well done Sarah you deserve it! x x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

I'm sure it won't be 3lb, but as if w have got to wait till next week! I'm still a bit scared to try Ss+ I worry that when I see food I won't be able to stop eating, I have my fourth weigh in tomorrow and will have done the plan for a month which I can't believe, Glad you finding Ss+ better...

I'm with you there don't know what it is about this diet but I'm the same the better I do the more it keeps more focused! It is a very good diet. My consultant has put my target down as 10 stone 2 as the would bring my BMI down to 25, but I think I will probable try to go down 9 stone 7 but...

Lost another 3lbs last week so that's 1stone 1lb in total in 3 weeks. Quite chuffed with it but more pleased with how well I have stuck to it, this is my fourth week and not cheated in the slightest. How are you getting on? Gem x starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Hi chrissy, agree with zimmum I too am an emotional eater and have done this 100% for 3 weeks. Never thought in a million years I could do this but I feel empowered because I can and the weight loss keeps me motivated and as each week goes on the diet gets easier. Yes zimmum I've lost 1 stone...

I think we should start a 3lb club! Lost 3lb again, lol. Was hoping for more but if you pick up 3 tins of beans they weigh 3lb and it kinda puts it in perspective how much 3lb is so we shouldn't get too disheartened x x

It's worth a try it may suit you better got my weigh in in about 45 mins x

Thank you I don't actually feel like I've lost anything, but really hoping I have! x

Hi hows it going this week? x

Hi Had my weigh in last night lost 3lb was hoping for more, but I've been having my first shake quite late sometimes as late as 12:30 so this may have slowed my weight loss down as I get up about 7. I don't like any of the soups and tried a bar for the first time last night, and wasn't much...

Happy weekend too!! starting weight: 13st 10. Week one -9lb

Ok on week three now which is a big achievement in itself as I never thought I would get here especially on the first few days of the diet. And I am feeling great, motivated, focused, positive and completely in control!! My willpower is amazing, no cheating what so ever sticking to it 100% and...

Same here this forum has really helped me to stay focused and also now it's stooped me getting disheartened. This diet is the best one I've ever done in all the ways I though I'd hate! But I can handle not eating food which I never thought I'd be able to do, and I've got amazing willpower!! And...

Thanks shazzy shaz that gives me a bit more hope for week 3, I've stuck to 100% do was just hoping for a little bit more but onwards and upwards. Thanks for your feedback it really helps to keep me motivated x

Lost 3lb too was hoping for a bit more but can't complain its all the right direction. Going to try and have my breakfast when I get up rather then waiting till later on in the morning to see if that makes a difference Week three here we come x

I'm having my breakfast quite late, been on my scales not showing much difference, what time r u having your breakfast? I have mine between 10:30 and 12, it suits me loads better as get more hungry later in the day. What time has your consultant said you should have breakfast? Mine was a bit...

Hi Zimmum How's you week going? We are on the right side of week two a couple of days till weigh in! I've been waking up with headaches this week and today haven't been able to shift it, it is the totm so I don't know if that has something to do with it. Although I don't normally get headaches...

Day 9 Went well upend my water to 4l today the only think is I keep waking up with headaches. it is my totm now, never suffered with headaches before but don't know if it is a side effect of the diet. Another part of me thinks it's because I'm drinking so much water in the day when I go to...

I'm only having the shakes, the soups made me gag, and I just kept throwing them away lol! I dont like normal porridge so I am pretty sure I wouldn't like this one I like the strawberry and cappuccino a lot and the chocolate is quite nice. The rest I didn't like, but feel fine with the three I...

Oh wow I bet that felt amazing! Also cooked a chicken dinner for my husband and step son it looked lovely, but wasn't too tempted as I feel quite focused at the moment. My consultant text me back saing I should have the shakes when my energy levels need them, not quite sure if what aim doing...

I'm finding it a lot easier now on day 9, don't feel hungry at all, I am having my shakes later in the day at 12, 4 and 8 and that really suits me I just hope it doesn't slow the weight loss down. I would definitely say the hunger stops which makes it so much easier x starting weight...

Yeah this is definitely a diet lol!! Well done on your weight loss, got mine tomorrow will let u know how I get on x

You very lucky I've been on and off diets for 10 years so I'm determined to make this work. I do zero exercise and my hubby has said that he will let me do the diet if I start a proper exercise routine when the weight is off. He doesn't like fad diets, and thought this might have been one, but...

Souffle la good luck with your weigh in x

That's great news!! I've never had willpower like this I'm sure with any other diet I would have caved in by now, but strangely I haven't and this feels a lot harder then other diets but my willpower is stronger. I just don't want to ruin any kind of weight loss on Friday, when is your weigh in?

Day five Nearly there over half way now so I can't give up!! It takes all my will power when cooking for my hubby and step son not to try there tea. But it also keeps me occupied when I'm making it. 3 shakes and 2.5 litres of water again Can't waits till Friday I hope it's a big loss!! X

Day four Not to bad today felt really hungry in the evening but not sure if it was in my mind as I am still missing food. I just keep focusing on what the weight loss could be on Friday 3 shakes and 2.5 litres of water again today x.

What's the difference between Cambridge and slim and save? x

Maybe tomorrow you will be in ketosis. I'm missing my food tonight hubby is having a lovely teA. I need to stay strong and keep reminding myself it won't be forever and the stronger I stay the quicker I can eat food again!!

Just reading everyones first loses they are so motivating. I am on day four doing sole source having three shakes a day and about 3litres of water. Hoping for a big loss. My weigh in is on Friday so I am about half way now Gem x

I really struggled with day one and two! By day three I felt great my cosultant give me wee stick (its more like paper though) to check if I was in ketosis and I was, so I think that is why i felt much better yesterday. Today I feel great drinking loads of water about 3litres a day, I am so...
