Another 5lbs off this week total 23lbs in two weeks...best start I've ever had on a VLCD

I'm in the right frame of mind for it...I think you kind of know when you're ready to do it. Not long till March now good luck x

Hi everyone I did cambridge 4 years ago and lost 5 stones...its gradually gone back on. I've been back on SS since last Sunday. I arrived back from Tenerife having stuffed my face with rubbish and drinking 8 pints of lager a day weighing 16st10lbs. Today was my first weigh in...I've been 100%...

So....4 years ago I lost 5 stones on Cambridge...I've gradually put it back on and am now 10lbs heavier than when I started all those years ago.....but, I cant change that now...sole source was started this morning...and its coming off!!!....bring it on!!!!

I'm back....lost 5 stones 4 years ago....and put it back on gradually. Now heavier than when I started. sole source started this morning!!!.....bring it on!!!!

Hi Fay I'm 5'7 and started at 16st. First week I lost 15lbs and second week 7lbs!! I guess I store a lot of glycogen!!

On the 31st March this year, I started my Cambridge journey at 16stone. This morning I weighed 10st 7 and reached my target. That is all:)

I live on tomato soup and chocolate tetras:)

Hi folks Well I've been away for a while:) Been to Tenerife in September and put on 8lbs!lol. Lost it within a week of coming back though, so thats a bonus. I'm wearing size 10 jeans and feeling fantastic. Who would have thought that when I started this in March that I'd be over 5st lighter by...

Ok. Week 20 so...fitness test over and I want to speed up my weight loss again, so I've been eating healthily and have thrown in the odd Cambridge pack as a meal replacement. I've lost 6lbs this week!!!! MY BMI IS UNDER 25.......I AM NORMAL:) :) :) I wear size 12 jeans and a size 14 top...

I lost 15lbs the first week and 7lbs the second week. I guess I hold onto a lot of glycogen.

Well...weeks 16 & 17 I was all carbed up in preparation for my fitness test (which I passed with flying colours!!!) and stayed the same weight. Week 18 and I've lost 2.5lbs. I'm into the 25's BMI so it wont be long till I'm 'normal' :)

Size 20 jogging bottoms........no thanks

First week is the worst. Once you get over that it's plain sailing:-)))

I went straight from SS to calorie counting (not ideal but didnt have a choice really). If you look at my weight losses on week 11 and 12, you'll see that I didnt weigh in on week 11 (didnt want to depress myself with any glycogen gain) and I only lost 1lb on week 12. These were my first 2 weeks...

I've come off CD (I had no choice, I need to pass a fitness test at work and I couldnt run fast on no carbs) . I was doing SS and was terrified I'd put on weight. I'm calorie counting (1400) and training really hard (2 sessions a day) and I've continued to lose weight. I've got 9 weeks till my...

I'm calorie counting and sticking to about 1400. I'm having carbs for breakfast and lunch, none at tea time. I'm having protein and veg/salad at tea time:) I'm also still drinking loads of water and training like a loonie. I'm running and doing the 30 day shred every day (and loving it) I've...

I know exactly what you mean:) When you've got lots to lose its like a mountain to climb. BUT LOOK AT YOU NOW!!!! NEARLY THERE!!!XXXXX

Superb!!! Under the 200lb mark:)

Another 3 this week:-) I have now lost a quarter of my body weight and am wearing size 12 jeans:) Get in!!!

Its the devils food. Manky horrible disgusting stuff. I took it all back and swapped it for shakes. It gives me the boak just thinking about it!!lol

I lost 46lbs in 10 weeks :) I'm doing calorie counting now though. Stick with SS. Its fantastic. Best diet I've ever done (once you get through the first week!!!)

Its amazing how everyone tastes things differently. The tomato soup was my favourite. Had it every day. Its the only one you can make without blending. The rest need to be zapped. Potato and Leek is good too:-)

Lost another 2.5 this week:-) BMI into the 26's:-) I'm more than happy with 7lbs off in the last 3 weeks calorie counting.

I'm not on WW but have gone from CD to calorie counting. I haven't put on an ounce and have continued to lose weight. I'm still very strict with myself and have upped my exercise considerably:) It's strange eating at first, but you just have to be as disciplined with your diet as you were with...

Its going really well thanks. I went yesterday and did a practice run with our training team. I took 2mins 30 off my time that I ran two weeks ago!!! Unfortunately the one I ran yesterday doesnt count as you must have 6 weeks between a fail and a resit, so I've got 4 more weeks of training to go...

I hope no one minds me updating my stats here now that I'm off CD and doing calorie counting. Week 13 and I've lost 3.5lbs!! I haven't put on any weight since swapping over:) and have continued to lose. I've now lost over 50lbs....yeeeehaaaa!!!

Well....I couldn't stay off the scales:-( Today should have been my week 12 weigh in (I didn't have one last week) and I was fully expecting to have put weight on with eating carbs. I've lost 1lb!!!!! I'll take that :) :) :)

No fruit allowed as far as I'm aware:-(

Yes Jen:-) Eating is very strange:-)) I don't like it much at the moment!!lol

Just an update. I had a fitness test at work on Wednesday and I failed my mile and a half run. There's absolutely no reason I should have failed it other than I didnt have enough fuel. I'm over 3 stone lighter than the last time I passed it:-( so I've decided I've got to come off Cambridge for...

I cook for everyone and its genuinely never bothered me. I'm a sniffer!lol. They all had takeaway pizza last night and there was garlic bread with cheese left over. I had a good sniff at that before it went in the bin I can tell you!! Bacon sandwiches smell fab and I make them on a Sunday...

I had 5 injections last week. I was fine. To be honest I never even thought about it in relation to the diet.

I'm honestly not bothered :) 47lbs in 10 weeks is fine and I know that I've been 100%:) it'll come next week:)

I'm now on day 70 at 100%!!! Never thought I'd manage that:) Jayellekay - 6/50 ElaineD - 8/50 Trisha - 6/50 shanny- 0/50 Tinkerbellsmum - 4/47 Ru2thy - 6/50 Kirstyjade - 0/50 Thin_on_the_inside = 1/50 Ellietoobig! - 3/50 lshafik - 8/50 Rachele - 6/50 mumto1 - 0/50 Esk140 - 0/10...

You know I cant understand GP's who wont sign. They go on and on and on and on about losing weight and when someone tries to do something serious about it, they twist their face!!! Good luck hun. CD is fantastic. Look at is as a way out of the fat suit!!!

A pound!! A lousy rotten stinking pound!! lol Oh well....onwards and upwards!! My totm arrived this morning (a week early) and I've had to hammer the exercise this week (fitness test next week). On a happier note, I've lost a stack of inches this week and more people have commented on my weight...

Sorry hun but 10 minutes is way too long. I start at 3 minutes and work my way up to 6. Even then, when I start going on for 6 it can get a bit nippy!!

It's very good:) Keep going!!!!

Well done:-)))) that's fantastic!!!!

Thankyou:) The odd time I have felt hungry is when I've not been able to get my shake/bar on time. I agree that a lot of the time we confuse hunger with craving. I now genuinely 'forget' to eat. I'll eat because I know I have to rather than actually being hungry. I like this feeling!!!lol

I disagree:-) I don't feel hungry. I haven't (with the odd exception, maybe once or twice) in the last nine weeks. I suppose everyone is different, but I'm certainly not hungry:)

I work night shifts and adjust my timings so that I have a tetra/bar/shake during the night. If I was just on call though and I had eaten my stuff during the day, I wouldn't eat extra. I usually find that I'm not hungry during the night:)

Thankyou:) Losses like this certainly keep you going!! As time goes by it becomes easier to stick to this!!

The diet coke would make me throw up:) I have a shake/bar about an hour before I go, that seems to give me enough energy to manage:)

Build it up gradually. I've been running from week 2 and I'm fine. First week I tried to do some but felt really faint. After that I just built it up, adding 5 minutes per session:-)

Well done Vicky:)

This forum is excellent:) Read everyones success stories and diaries, its really kept me on track!! Good luck:)

Ok, I've just completed week 9. After 2 weeks of 2lb losses, I've lost 6 this week!!! 46lbs in 9 weeks......I love this diet:D:D:D

Well, week 9 over and done with and after two weeks losing 2lbs.....this week I've lost 6!!!!!! GET IN!!!!

I had a huge burst of energy round about day 7. The whole house was cleaned and I seriously couldn't sit down. Its kind of gone again, but I still feel fine and have enough energy to exercise. I tried to exercise the first week and nearly fainted when I'd finished!!

I think I must have really well mannered friends:) I've never had anyone, friend or stranger tell me I'm fat or I've put on weight.....and personally I've never done it to anyone else!!! how rude!!!

No, I haven't. I honestly can't see the point in spending nearly £50 a week on CD to then go and stuff my face on rubbish. I'd feel like I cheated myself:-(

I'm in. I'm on day 60 at 100%. Hopefully another 50 days will see me near target:) Jayellekay - 0/50 ElaineD - 0/50

Good luck Lindsey:) Go into it with the right attitude and look at it as an escape from the despair of being overweight and you'll love it:) Its the best and easiest diet I've ever done......I do however only intend doing it once!!!lol

I'm on SS officially,but I run a lot, so on the days I run, I have a SS+ meal, so kind of a mixture between the two. My weekly weight losses are in my signature:)

I'm so pleased:) I don't usually weigh in on my own scales, but my weigh in with my CDC was early this week and it'll be late next week as she was going on holiday, so I'm kind of out of kilter. Thought I would jump on my own today to check where I was and I'm in the 12's!!!

No I've been told I don't. I carry my weight pretty evenly. It goes on everywhere and comes off everywhere. My mother nearly fell off her chair when I told her what my starting weight was. She actually didn't believe I was 16st. I suppose that makes me quite lucky:)

8 weeks and 1 day ago I started CD. I weighed 16 stone. This morning I stepped on my scales and I weigh 12st 13lbs!!! I'm SO chuffed!!! That's all:)

I'm 5'7 and my target is 10st 7lbs:-)

Ok, so I got weighed this morning, a day early as my CDC is going on holiday. 2lbs off. Not delighted with that as I've done nothing differently...BUT, thats 40lbs is 8 weeks, I'm over half way to my target and my BMI is now 28.8!!!!!!! I'm delighted with THAT!!!!

She's been SS+ since day one and even had a STS week a couple of weeks ago!! and no exercise up till now

My sister has been doing CD for 2 days longer than me. She got weighed this morning and has lost an incredible 43lbs in 8 weeks!!! On what other diet could you lose over 3 stone in 8 weeks!!! I love CD!!!

I had a horrible day yesterday:-( really hungry!!! And that was day 50!! I just tried to tell myself there would be good days and bad and I just needed to get through this bad one. I've been fine today:-) so it seems to have worked!!

I've just cooked my husband filet steak, chips, onions and garlic mushrooms:-) it didn't bother me:-) how weird is that!!!

Definately not. I don't want to go through those initial 4 days again if I can help it. I've been to all sorts of days/nights out and stick to fizzy water.

2lbs this week. Not the 3 I wanted but its still 7 over the last fortnight:) I'm happy with that!!

Excellent:)

Well done:-) Seeing the big losses really keeps you on track doesn't it!! Sets you right up for next week:)

Go to Nando's and have chicken? I'm going to Take That on the 24th June and I'm driving this time. Usually I would go on the lash with my pals beforehand and make a day of it, but not this time....I want the rest of this lard off before I go on holiday in September.

YES THAT!!!! Keep off the scales!!!!! The best advice I ever got was 'Look at this as something positive' Its going to give you what you want....A slim, fit body, and the ability to do all the things you've not been able to for years. Keep your chin up. If you tell yourself this is torture...

Fab!!! now onto next week and it gets much easier!!

It wont be tomorrow (unless there's a miracle and I drop 7lbs this week!!lol) but hopefully by next week:-) I've lost the same stone between 14 and 13 about a dozen times over the last couple of years....I wont be sorry to see the back of it for ever!!!

Well done:-))))) its a great feeling going down into the next bracket isnt it!!! I'm hoping that by next weigh in I'll be in the 12's! Its a bloody long time since I've been there!!lol

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't exercise to lose weight. As Lily says, you have to do an awful lot of exercise to lose a pound, it just doesn't work like that. I diet to lose weight...and I exercise to stay healthy. I think it makes it easier for me if I think about it like that:)

I'm just back in...and if you could bottle the feeling you get after a good run, you'd be a millionaire!!! I enjoyed that:)

Thats what I thought it said!!lol Was thinking to myself....'25K is maybe a bit ambitious if you've just started' LOL!!!!

LOL!! Those first 5 minutes are a complete and utter nightmare, whatever your fitness levels are. It hurts, and its what puts most people off continuing. Nothing beats that feeling when you've been for a good one and you've just flew round. It makes all the pain worthwhile:)

Sorry I just realised that you're going to start the couch to 5k!!doh!! Don't try to do more than the first week recommends. I think the first week you should only be running for 90 seconds at the most before walking for a minute. You really need to build it up very gradually if you've not been...

I'm the complete opposite from you. Put me on a treadmill and you're lucky if I can run for 15 minutes, I go outside and I'll happily run for 45. Have you tried to 'couch to 5k' programme? You start off walk/run and I found it much easier to build up my distance when I did it gradually like this...

Got to agree completely. I exercise a lot. I run every second day. The scales have no relevance to what you've just done. They're a tool to tell you how you're doing at regular intervals. The only thing you'll lose straight away by exercising is water from sweating.

No, it makes perfect sense:-) Thanks. Never thought I'd see the day where I was looking forward to going for a run so I would be warm though!!!lol

I've been 100% since the start and have found it easy. The first few days were a bit tough, but not as bad as I'd been expecting and I'm on day 47:-) I'm determined I'm only going to do this once, and I really haven't been tempted by anything. I'm looking at it as a means to an end and want the...

Watching TV the other night and my husband was sitting laughing at me. At first I wondered why, then I caught sight of myself in the mirror. Thick fleecy pyjamas, knee length sheepskin slippers, a massive fleece dressing gown (wrapped round me twice) and a blanket up to my neck!! Everyone else...

From reading the forum I know a lot of people seem to be cold all the time. I am constantly freezing. I cant get warm, despite practically sitting on top of the radiator and sleeping with my electric blanket on (its one of the ones you can do that with) Does anyone know why this is? Its a...

I actually feel like that quite a lot. I seriously have to make a point of eating as I could quite easily go all day with nothing but water. Never thought in a million years I would be able to say that. My problem was always keeping my face out the fridge!!lol

God!! I never even thought about that!! I wore shoes on Friday and they kept slipping off my feet...I wonder if my feet have shrunk too???

I've exercised right the way through, although I took it really easy on week one as I felt quite light headed. I don't think its increased my weightloss but I've got no options, I have to keep running as I've got fitness testing for work. Once you get week one over, you should be fine walking...

I've read this thread over twice:) For anyone struggling and needing inspiration its a godsend. Well done, you truly are amazing.

How's it going? Hope you're doing ok:)

I'm trying my hardest to stay off the scales. One day they're up, the next they're down, it drives me nuts.

I sometimes use an extra pack to make crisps (not my 3 main packs though). I love them, and they keep me on the straight and narrow when the rest of my family are pigging out on junk.

I think totm it can make a difference to some peoples water retention, but it evens itself out. If you go into the 'user cp' thingy at the top of the page and edit your signature it'll show whatever you enter every time you post:)

The first few days can be murder. I guarantee if you stick with it you'll feel better once your in ketosis. I actually forget to eat sometimes. Keep your chin up:)

I'm not keen on the chilli soup but I love the tomato, leek and potato and chicken and mushroom. I can't abide the porridge. My CDC is happy to swap anything I don't like:)

Isn't it strange how everybodies tastes are different. I absolutely love the soup. I buy 14 soups and 7 tetras. I would buy 21 soups but can't get my head round soup for breakfast!!:)

Please dont feel like that. I had a lot more to lose than you!! I obviously hold a lot of glycogen, that would account for the big weight loss the first week. We all lose at a different rate, and I'm sure that my STS week or worse will come soon. It happens to everyone:)

I exercise and this week I've now started to put in a SS+ meal on the days I run. It's increased my weight loss. I might have just been due a bigger loss, but I've done the same this week so we'll see how it goes.

Thankyou:) what a lovely thing to say. I'm genuinely enjoying this. I'm not avoiding doing anything. I went out with works colleagues last night and drunk soda water. It's amazing how much fun you can still have when your not drinking!! The complements about my weight loss more than made up...

Half way for me is 2stone 10 and a half pounds so I'm very nearly there:) I'm sure you'll manage fine, you've had fantastic losses up till now!!

Go into it with a positive attitude and a smile and you'll be fine:-) first few days can be a bit dodgy but after that..it's fine. You'll lose 3 stone in no time at all:)

I lost another 5 this week:) Very pleased with that. 36lbs in 6 weeks!! Yahoo!!

That's fantastic!!!!!

Fantastic:) Well done!!

Lost 5lbs this week:) I originally said I would stick it for 6 weeks and see how I got on. Well 36lbs later I think I might stick it for another 6!!!! Am absolutely loving this!! I can see the weight dropping off. Oh and I've just noticed. My BMI is under 30:D

Keep at it:) it definately gets easier as time goes on. I can't believe I'm on 6 weeks tomorrow:)

Thankyou:)

I think it's like you say:-) we're all different and we all hold onto different levels of glycogen and water. I always lose big in week one no matter what diet I do. It slows down to the same levels as most other people after the first 2 weeks:-)

Just made the crisps and they are fab fab fab!! I dont much like the chilli soup, but its great as crisps with tabasco and pepper!!

Good luck tomorrow:) Get through your first week and you're laughing

I'm back in the 16's. Not comfortably, but I'm in there:) Its a great feeling going down a size!!

Well done you:) It really does get easier now, and the longer you go on, the easier it gets!! I'm onto week 6 already and the time has flown by (after the first week that is!!lol)

I hope the mint bars are nice!!.....I've just bought 5 for this week!!lol

I'd try SS at first. Its given me great results so far:) Good luck with everything. CD has been a revelation to me. The weight is coming off quickly and I'm genuinely not hungry. The first few days are a bit miserable, but cutting out the carbs for a few days before you start seems to help. Keep...

Another 3lbs off:) I see a pattern emerging!!! I'm going to start including a small meal on the days I run from this week. My CDC says that I should be doing this. I'll see how it affects my weight loss, hopefully not by much:)

Thats brilliant:) I suspect I'm going to spend a fortune:D:D:D

Thank you:D You wont fail. Make your mind up that this is how things are going to be for the next few months. Its not for ever, and it will get you to where you want to be. Look at it as the way of getting rid of your fat. Its a good thing. If you see it as a prison, thats how you'll feel. Its...

Once you get over the first 3 or 4 days ketosis sets in and makes everything so much easier. The first few days are quite hard, but you need to keep yourself busy and go to bed early.....anything to take your mind off the discomfort of hunger. I'm on week 5 now, and it honestly does get so much...

I went clothes shopping today.....and I can get into a size 16:-) Not comfortably, but I can get into them and it wont be long till they're comfy!!!

Thanks folks. I've decided that this week I'm going to cut out the bars. Whilst they're delicious, they seem to be giving me horrendous stomach rumbling and really bad wind!lol! Has anyone else had this with the bars? or is it just me? Anyway, I'm cutting them out this week to see if it makes a...

Keep at it:-) I'm on day 28 now and the days are flying in. The longer you do it, the easier it gets!!:-)))

Another 3 off. Thats exactly 2 stone in 4 weeks. Cant quite believe it:-)

Thanks:D I'm starting to feel a difference now, although I've still got a long way to go. I've said right from the beginning if I can maintain a steady 3 or 4 lbs a week loss I'll be over the moon. Anything more is a bonus:D

Thanks rachele:-) I've been 100% this week and I honestly didnt think I'd lost anything. I am now under 200lbs!!!!!

Another 3 off:-) I'm so pleased with this as its been my totm and I've felt like a big fat bloater all week!! Seriously didn't think I'd lost anything. Bring on week 4!!!

I exercise. I'm on SS and I use my bike, swim and run (well its more jogging at the moment cause I'm only on week 3. The first week I did very little, I felt a bit faint to be honest. Week 2 I used the treadmill to jog. Week 3 and I've got all my energy back and more!! I've been outside jogging...

I think thats absolutely brilliant. Well done. Saying that, I've booked mine for September, hopefully I'll be at goal by then:-)

When I first started wearing them I noticed the difference in the way they made me walk. They certainly tightened the muscles in the back of my legs. Now, I'm so used to wearing them that I dont notice anything, in fact if I wear any other footwear, it feels strange.

I'll have to have a look. My fit flops were nearly £60.

I've struggled with my weight my whole adult life. I managed to keep it under control during my 20's, but my 30's have been a constant yo-yo. I'm now in my 40's and I feel like I've found the key to get me out of this prison I've been in. I KNOW that this time I've found the way to lose my...

I absolutely love my fit flops, they are the comfiest shoes I've ever owned. I took them to Florida and wore them all the time. Worth every penny:-)
