YEEY! So today was my weigh-in and I was down 6 lbs and I'm now at 164! YEY! And, the last two weeks have been with basically no meal replacers... Awesome! So happy! I just hope I can keep this up.. :) I eat very clean and enjoy that, if you like you can visit my blog at humblefoods.tumblr.com...

Thank you soo much! It means a lot to me, with the encouragement. =)

Yey! So today was a new weigh-in (Every 2 weeks), so I was down 6 lbs which was awesome. :)

Hi all, Now this is something I have been thinking about for a while. You know how you work so hard for a week, you get on the scale and feel like you deserve this huge loss? Any one regocinze that? I think I realized something that I felt was really important to me, so I wanted to share...

Yes! The first week is always hard I think, but today I felt so much better! Full of energy, love it! Did a weigh-in today and I'm down 2lbs. But that's fine! I really feel like I'm working in the right direction so, when we know we are on the right track we need to trust ourselves and not the...

Hello all! I weight in yesterday at 176, which is basically 5 lbs down since the start last week. I'm actually doing a different LCD brand than cambrigde, but same principles apply. I do eat a little more, 800 kcal's a day because I really like to work out and it did not quite cut it for me...

Weigh-in and tired! Today, I'm so so tired. I really have to gather all my strength not to just, fall asleep on the couch and get my but to yoga. Yes yes, I'm going. I had my weigh-in yesterday and I'm down 3 lbs, feels good! On the right track, just need to keep going. I just wish I wasn't so...

So, I started my diet today. I'm on an LCD diet with about 800 kcal's a day. To me feels like luxurious compared to the 500 ish I used to do with cambridge. I'm feeling good, not hungry just a bit cold!

Haha. So funny quote from the boyfriend. Me: So, I have gained like 19lbs. Jeeez. BF: Yey! Now you get to loose them again! Whoho! Me: ... Waow. Seriously. :)

Thank you tasi! Good luck with your diet as well!

Hello again! So, I have really spent some time planning this now. I feel really good, excited to start my diet on monday and yes, that's really it, super excited! It feels good that I sort of have things planned and straight in my head, I know what I'm doing, my exercises, my food. My family...

Yes, indeed. I have, like so many of you had a battle with my weight for a long long time. I lost a lot of my weight a couple of years ago, and most of it I have kept of. I have however gained a lot in the past year, and I'm now at 180 lbs. I find myself struggling, once again in how to make...

Okay, so I'm down 1 pound. Not feeling to bad about that! :)

Haha, yey! Sweethearts, I guess it's good to blow off some steam on occasion. :) I feel much better today! And I have had a BIG cheat, though a planned one. One of my good friends made a really first class 4 course dinner with wine, really really nice! I feel good about it though, I think you...

myrtlemoo: I'm telling you straight from the heart, or tummy... :P jessicacaca: Haha, if it did, then it was good! It actually made me smile to when I read it again. I don't know, anyone who has tried to loose weight must regcoginize that a bit? When you just want to be grumpy like a 4 year old...

AAAAAAGGGH! GRAAAH! ARGGGH! Sorry, it's just. Today is a bloody hard day! Darnit! It's hard! I just wan't to scream a bit. There, phew. Feels a little bit better. But. Darnit! Stupid god damn food obsession, stupid overweight tummy and clothes that don't fit. Damn those darn boots that don't...

I need to drink more water to... Just reminding myself here. :)

Oh dear. I really need to write here. Make myself think for a while. Right now I'm really full, I don't really like that feeling anymore. I love the feeling of being "empty" that you get from being on cambridge SS, it motivates me, makes me feel like I'm on my way. I'm also trying to find some...

Hi all! Thank you so much! I do feel so much better already, now I eat about +500 kcalories right now so I'm not expecting my loss to continue this quickly but it helps me to learn how to eat and I hope, make a change that's more sustainable. I'm impatient though! I want it to be fast! :) Hugs!

Yeeey! Thank you so much. :)

I definitely recognize that! Are you having your period? Kind of an intimate question, but that's what happened to me. :) A lot of things effect your weight, just hang in there and the results will come, I promise! The thing that counts, in the end, the ONLY thing that actually counts is that...

Waaow! So good for you! Aaah, I hope all goes well for you when you get back. Amazing job, just amazing! Take care. =)

Hi all, Oh, I did my first weigh in today and I was down 10 lbs my first week! I know there's a lot of fluids, but it feels good! Yey! I'm starting SS+ right now, and I hope that will work for me as well. :) Many hugs!

Yesterday was sort of a tough one, I'm really not enjoying my cambridge diet this time. :) I long to be able to cook good and healthy food and I think I'm actually going over to SS+ this week, I was planning to do SS for one more week, but I really feel so inspired to make healthy food so I'm...

Thank you Illa! Today, I had a bit of a scare. I felt really bad in the morning, hands shaking and really weak. So I did actually add some more food today - proteins, eggs and lentil soup for dinner. I tried to keep going during the day but the shaking wouldn't get any better. Now, after...

Majella: Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only one. :) I did actually eat a bit more today, because that feeling wouldn't go way it just kept on getting worse so I had some extra proteins and some lentil soup and now I feel much better actually! Maybe I was pushing myself a little to hard with the...

Hey! Thanks for your reply! I just spent some hours researching appstore and I tried the MacGourmet demoversion, I did however find it a bit fiddly but with alot of nice things you could do with it, I just wanted something that would be really easy to use. The best one I found was SmartMeal, it...

Hi all! So I'm on my 6:th day of my SS cambridge diet. It has been going really well, I had a super-crazy busy week which has been kind of stressful, but I do my regular workouts and, yeah, I have felt okay, maybe a bit hungry and tired at times (But I guess that could be related to the...

Hi all! I was looking to find a nice application for my macbook where I can store my recipes! Do any of you guys know of any good once? I would like it to be able to store recipes, for me to add the ingredients and it to calculate the calories/portion. That would be just awesome. :P Many hugs!

Hi! After a while, I like to spice my shakes up a bit, here are some of my favorites! Do you guys have any other recommendations? :) Hugs! 1. Chai-style vanilla shake, make one cup of chai-tea, let it cool down and mix with the vanilla shake instead of water. Really nice! 2. Vanilla...

Today has been in total a good day! I really had to discipline myself being out with friends both for coffee and food but I worked out great! I had a little more to eat today because of a 2,5 hour practice, so I added half a shake and some chicken and I feel great! So nice! I know the weekend...

Day 4 has been goood! And superbuzzie, so I haven't really had time to feel hungry. :P And now, I'm going to sleaap after several several hours at the hospital. Hope all of you out there are doing well, you really can do this you know! Hugs!

girlygirl1: That's definitely so true. Especially I think if you are overweight and a comfort eater, food starts to represent something else. I would never want to see food as just a fuel, I would however like to enjoy the right foods. Like really craving veggies or a healthy meal. In my...

Good job your first week! The first three days are usually, dreadful. In my experience. But it get's easier! I do the same thing as you, when I feel like eating, I come here, read peoples stories and reflect a bit about what I'm doing. It helps me a lot. :) Good luck!

Waaow! Good going! Now that you're on, you just keep going! I'm sure you will be fine!

The day 2 challenge girlygirl1: Thank you so much for that concern, and I do actually agree with you. I would not recommend anyone on a Cambridge diet and do extensive cardioworkout. I do however feel alright because I have done the Cambridge diet before and, I'm also doing my 4 year in medical...

Thanks and Day 1 Thanks to both of you for your pep-talks! I think it is really important to actually plan the time for your cambridge start carefully, make sure that you have some time that you know you will be able to focus on your self, and for me, it helps if I have a crazy busy schedule -...

Oh, this is not an easy one. I found that I started to do other things with my friends - that did not involve eating. Which was really nice! We went ice skating, swimming, to the museum... When we stopped for food, I would just go for tea/diet soda and that really works fine. It's really the...

Hi all! I think we all love the kick of inspiration those before and after pictures give us, and hearing the stories of success from others. Now, do you have any suggestions for movies that would inspire you in your weight-loss and wellness/getting fit journey? For me, I would love to see...

Hi! I have done Cambridge before, and for me it has worked really well. I got rid of old habits of eating (and thinking!) and maintained my weight for 2 years. However, this summer. Suddenly lost it! Started to work nights and waow, that really messed things up. =) So, now I have gained 15...

Okay, so today was my first weigh-in after 7 days on CD.. I weighed in at 162 lbs which is down -7 lbs in one week. Really stunned and pleased with that! So fingers crossed for next week. :cool: Many hugs

Day 7 - Weigh in I know I'm not suppose to weigh-ni until tomorrow but here it goes. Just got my period so tomorrow will probably be + on the scale, I usually gain quite a lot while on my period so. Fingers crossed. Today, I weighed in at.... Tada! 162 pounds which is just... Crazy. And I know...

I just tried the chai-vanilla! Works really well, I did 2 dl of extra strong chai tea and used this to make the shake, also added some extra cinnamon and cardmon and yes. Delish!

Oh, I missed this thread! Can I join to? I started 6 days ago...

Waow, this was such a great thread to read, really put a smile on my face and made me a bit sad at the same time. Some of the things are just so hard, life get's hard when you are so big that you constantly have to think on how to navigate through your days, between tables, fitting into cars and...

Does anyone have any ideas for breakfast that are really low carb? I think this is the meal that is hardest (and the most important to keep the carbs down) when moving from SS. Scrambled eggs, yoghurt with berries, cottage cheese? I just, I really don't like the sakes for breakfast, if you are...

Haha, yey! I know that one to, I was so surprised the first time I realized how I was sitting. Here is my toplist so far... 1. I figure skate and actually did land a crappy cheated Axel jump. (You take of forward, rotate 1,5 rotations in the air and land backwards..) This is really the...

Hi! Yey, I'm 5'5 to! Right now I'm at 163 pounds and I would say the sizes varies on where I actually get the clothes and what cut they are but in US sizes I can usually get a 10 (eq UK=10), I even have some dresses that are size 10 UK-size, they are a bit snug but definitely so that I can wear...

Day 6 Out with a cold in the coach, now, I really feel like just braking it off... I'm not that hungry but the cold is sort of making me tired and grumpy. I'm not sure on what to do. If I'm to stop the Cambridge or just add some chicken. Any suggestions? What I really want is some really nice...

Hi! My favorite is to do the shakes in a blender with loads of ice, really like having a tasty milkshake, always make sure they are as cold as possible, semi-warm shakes are just, bad. :) Also, I live to have some spices in the vanilla one, like cinnamon and cardamom. Soo good. I also thought...

Yeah, I can now conclude that this was not SS Cambridge to blame but the really bad cold I just got. Shoosh! Darn. :) *sniffles*

Hi! Just read your diary and WAOW! You have been such a complete superhero! Congratulations! I know the transition coming of SS Cambridge can be quite scarry but I have no doubt in my mind that you will make that, you have come this far, you know what your goals are and being on SS for this...

Day 5 Today was my all along planned cheat, and I we'll see how I feel tomorrow. Right now, I'm just so full! Doing some calculations, I did eat about 830 kcals today, naturally more then on SS Cambridge. I was carful with the carbs, so I had about 47g of carbs today. If I'm lucky it will not...

Day 4 Still really tired, not hungry though. But my troat is really bothering me and I got a slight temperature, so I feel a bit crappy and off my game. I'll try to sleep it off, fingers crossed... Hope all of you guys are doing well!

Day 3 Today has actually been okay, I still feel a bit crappy, sore throat and almost feel like I'm getting a cold. (Maybe I just had bad luck, getting a clod right now.) But the hunger is actually alright, being at work (The ER...) you really tend to forget everything that involves eating. I...

Hi! Wow, sounds like you are doing so great! Yey! I like the concept of mindful eating, gosh, we really connect food to other things, eating in front of the telly or computer. Suddenly it's the other way around, like you can't watch TV if you don't eat. I think really being aware of what and...

That's exactly what I mean! I really understand that feeling, "now what do I do." But there are so many things! I hope you come up with a few. Take your kids bowling or ice skating if they are grown up enough? Do something active, be outdoors, find a nice park or a spot to just hang out or play...

Hi! I'm on my third day of SS, now my throat is really sore! Has any one else experienced this? It could just be me getting the flu, but just wondering... Maybe it's acid reflux because your stomach is empty more. /Tisseltass

For me, a big part of doing Cambridge as a SS was realizing that my relationship with food was quite messed up, I do think a lot of us might share that insight. It also helped me to find new ways to live - that does not involve food. I do eat when I get bored or feel bad (Might sound like a...

Hi! Oh, perfect! Thanks! Being a newbie here, I wasn't really sure where to post it. Thanks for the pepptalk and warm welcome! And yes, the first week takes some adjusting, I'll just hang in there. :) /Tisseltass

Day 3; Waow, I feel really bad today. My body feels so stiff and the muscles and head aches, I really feel totally dead tired, like drained of energy. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve the day? Paint nails? If I wasn't broke I would have gone out to shop a bag or something.. :P...

A very true insight, I think it goes further in life then the VLCD diets. If you, generally see things in your life as being in a prison, having to go to work, having to exercise, having to study your life becomes a lot of things that you MUST do, it's a good reminder that you always have a...

Hi everyone! I happend to stumble upon this forum and there seems to be such a supportive and positive mood here that I wanted to share my story with you guys to. :) I have been overweight for as long as I can remember, in May 2008 I hit my heaviest weight, 205 pounds (being 5.4 tall). I...
