Need some motivation please girls. After losing stone and half on Cambridge I am gutted to find I've put on a stone in about three week - yikes! Can't get back on it, give up by 6pm cos can't be bothered to start it all again. Please help xxx

Can anyone tell me how long it takes from the moment you eat something that has carbs in to showing on a ketosis stick?

Thanks determinator, will keep that in mind. Bit disappointed as I've just had a chicken dinner - skinless chicken boiled pots and veg - felt like I needed something to eat as not been well with cold and cough for last five days - gutted cos been 100pc since Monday x

Lol I know the feeling, I've even been known to take my earrings out before weighing myself - how sad!! What I've done now - please don't laugh - is made a chart with daily date, like Monday 24th, Tuesday 25th etc with a space beside it to record my morning weight - completely naked, hair dry...

Thanks guys, decided to get some scales as you all seem to do ok when you weigh everyday. The way I look at it is ive never had my own scales and I haven't been able to stick to a diet ever so getting scales might change that for the positive. Here's hoping!!! x

Hi guys, is it a good idea to have your own scales and weigh yourself everyday? x

Hi, This has happened to me a couple of times and I've managed to stay in ketosis. The main thing is that you stop now and don't think I've blown it so I may as well eat cos that is dangerous as its so hard then to get back on track - good luck x

Hi how much do u guys think I would lose on ss plus in two months. I'm 12 stone, 5 ft 5?

Ok thanks x

Can you exercise on ss plus?

Hiya decided to start tomorrow, cos then it's 8 weeks till I go away. Hopefully will b able to stick to it but from past experience I am doubting myself again. Hope your day is going good x

Thanks for advice girls, all set for tomorrow, wish me luck! X

I am planning on a restart tomorrow after starting a month ago, losing 11lbs in two weeks then giving up - why? Desparately need some motivation. Getting very stressed cos summers coming and every year I swear I will be slim for summer and every year I am still fat, losing hope quickly! X

Well done you, you give me hope! X

Thanks to everyone for all their advice, I really do appreciate it x

Hi lin59, glad u r feeling more positive today, I've had another bad day but determined that tomorrow I will turn it around and start again AGAIN! Will post tomorrow hopefully with some good news that I've stuck to it x

Hi lin59 if I can then u can, let's stay strong and start afresh tomorrow x

Thanks ladies for advice, have stopped now and will start ss tomorrow and not weigh myself for two weeks so I won't know for sure if I've gained although it would be a miracle if I've not! Fingers crossed xxx

After deciding to come of ss for a couple of days I have now descended into a full blown mega binge where I can't stop eating, just hope I can restart on Monday ok!

Thanks for advice as well toller-girl, all the replies are really helping me to put things into perspective. Just seems that this dieting lark has been going on forever - 25 years tbh!! New day today - yesterday is past x

Hiya I'm ok today thanks, decided to stay off cd for weekend and then back on it Monday for two weeks ss cos got two weeks supply yesterday from CDC cos I get 10 percent discount if I go for weigh in every two weeks instead of one. Feel ok about binge last night cos what's the point of fretting...

Thank you x

Thanks so much for your advice, your right gonna go to bed now and start again in the morning. There's nothing I can do about the binge now anyway. x

Went for 2nd weigh in today - lost 3lbs, 8 lbs last week which am pleased about but tonite I've eaten everything u could think of - bread, pasta, chocolate, I feel sick cos I've really binged and now feel so depressed cos all hard work is ruined and now I've got a massive headache, help! x

Lol, bogof offer for large dominos last night and even my son couldn't finish them! Thanks for replies girls, in bed now hopefully safe from the fridge x

Know the feeling, I'm on ss day ten today and I'm really struggling, just ate two small slices of ham and my sons leftover dominos pizza is in the fridge and I am really battling not to eat it. And to top it all off I've just weighed myself and I've not list anything in five. Could it be water...

That's is then. I'm another feeder! My poor kids will be joining me in CD soon x

Lol, feel exactly same, I just want a bacon sandwich. My little girl has a mate over to stay tonight and I've bought them more than usual. Pizza, popcorn, sweets and doughnuts. Why! x

Day 9 SS and I'm really struggling, I am absolutely freezing - sitting here with hat, gloves and scarf on with the heating on full blast and all I can think of is a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea WITH milk. Help!

Thank you. I had a choc mint bar today and i dont know what its done but I am absolutely starving now and keep thinking of a ham, cheese and tomato sandwich. It's horrible x

1st weigh in and I have lost 8 pounds which I am really chuffed at. Am 12 stone 1 now - slight disappointment that I'm not in the 11's but trying to stay positive. Bought some bars today and just had choc mint one, lush! Hope I can stay on track cos I always start off well and then descend into...

Hi guys, thanks so much for your responses, taken it all in. Hoping for a good 1st week weight loss tomorrow, hoping that will cheer me up. But on the other hand a bad weight loss might send me over the edge, lol x

Hi all, I'm on day 6 on CD, due to get weighed tomorrow morning. I am finding it bearable, not really hungry but god I am so down, have no energy to do anything - just want to sleep all the time. To be honest I'm not always the happiest person in the world and was looking forward to the...

Thanks for encouragement, feel a lot better today although now feel bloated from water and not the loaf of bread I was eating everyday! I really hope I get a good 1st week weight loss like you x

First day on ss and feel terrible, really bad headaches and actually been sick. Might be due to no caffeine or carbs! Any tips? x

Hi all, 1st weigh in today - 12 stone 10lbs. That's a stone exactly that I've put on in 4 weeks, shocking! Hoping for the same brill losses as other ladies on here. Would love to lose that stone in 2 weeks. Feel so bloated and sick of eating tbh. Fingers crossed!

I put on 16 so glad I'm not alone, hope I lose as much as you in 1st week!!! x

Hi your not alone, my OH just rolls his eyes to say what again! I must sound like such a bore to him starting diets every week. It's quite embarrassing really. Your doing the right thing just don't mention diets anymore and quietly get on with it, that's what I'm gonna do cos I can't stand the...

Thanks guys, feel a lot more reassured now and looking forward to seeing my CDC tonite. X

What an inspiration your are, and there's me struggling to lose three stone. You must have such inner strength to be able to lose that weight. Your Goal is in sight. Well done you xxx

Thank you, I'm know I'm a worrier but I put in and lose weight all the time and hearing a doctor say u could lose heart muscle has freaked me out a bit x

Due to start cd on Friday but after watching that programme I feel like if I crash diet and lose weight quickly I'm gonna lose heart muscle and die, I need some reassurance please!!!!!! x

Hi all, can anyone tell me if they have seen an improvement in their skin thru the CWP products and drinking loads of water? x

I have put on a stone in a month. I am starting cd on Friday, seeing my CDC on Thursday. You have to jump in, once the first day is over then it gets easier - my downfall is getting over the first day - always easier to stuff and say I will start again tomorrow. Do it before it's two stone back...

Question: has any cd ers notice difference in skin after drinking all that water??? x

Thanks for reply, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. It's so obvious when I gain but no one says anything to my face, just behind my back I suppose. This forum is great, such friendly people x

Thanks for replies. Glad to know I'm not the only one, can't wait to start cd cos I feel so horrible and bloated, why do I keep doing this to myself over and over again! I can't believe I pile on weight then lose some then pile it on again, just hope I haven't damaged my heart or anything...

I am so depressed, going to see CDC this Thursday but weighed myself today and am 13 stone which means I've put on 16 pounds in a month. Does anyone else put this sort of weight on over a matter of weeks, or is it just me being a piggy? x

Hi all, if I weigh 12 stone 10lbs, how much weight can I lose in 6 weeks on ss - roughly, is two stone a bit to optimistic? x

Thank you - that really helped and has got me motivated. I tend to start a diet every single monday and fail by Tuesday and binge eat until I start again the following monday - madness! x

Thanks for replies everyone, going to see CDC on Thursday x

Hi, I have been thinking about going on the Cambridge diet for quite a while now but I would like some reassurance that the diet is completely safe - can anyone help? Jenny
