    Thanks guys. Feeling the hunger pangs right now as I am making the children's tea and it smells good! But - think of the skirt, think of the skirt!! Have downloaded a new book so early night and some reading for me - to stop me raiding the fridge!!

    Step 1 Sole Source + My weight loss journey

    Hello everyone, This week marks the start of the rest of my life. I am on day 3 of the Cambridge diet and am determined to reach my goal weight and stick to the programme. I know it won't be easy and there will be dark days (like the first 3!) but I need to be strong and not give up. I have...

    Week one smashed!!!!!

    Thank you. It just gives such a boost in the first week to lose what would take a month on weight watchers! When you put so much effort in its nice to see some good results. Fingers crossed next week I will be in the next stone bracket! Hope you are doing well on your journey x

    Week one smashed!!!!!

    Hello everyone! Been on exante one week now and doing ok. Tried it earlier this year but it was bad timing and couldn't get my head round it! We went to Cornwall with our little boys a couple of weeks ago and I felt so unfit trying to climb sand dunes while they ran on ahead. That was the...

    Struggling BIG time :-(

    Stay positive! I am struggling too and this is my week 4. Been really enjoying it till now and seeing good results but this week I could just eat!! Being tempted by everything I see! We've just got to remember how gutted we would be to give up now. Keep at it, taking one day at a time and this...

    Wat to do when i finish week 4 .. Advice please

    Hi there! Glad to see you are still doing so well! I've decided not to have a food week - I just want to keep going and get rid of this weight! Scared that if I taste food again I will struggle to go without it again. Totally your decision but just go with what you feel is right. Shakes all the...

    Resist the temptation!

    Thanks guys. It does go quick doesn't it? About to enter week 3 and then before I know it I will be one month down! So proud of myself and everyone else for sticking to it! Looking forward to reading our success stories later this year! X

    Resist the temptation!

    Well - another weekend is upon us! Hardest time for me to try and resist treats. Did a tesco online shop last night to avoid being faced with food at the store on every shelf! Really can notice a difference in my appearance today. Stomach is feeling flatter and I don't feel bloated and...

    start of day 4

    Hi there! I think by day 3 or 4 I started feeling extremely tired and my breath smelt awful! Apparently these are signs that ketosis has kicked in. It's usually about day 4 but some are a bit later. Good luck on your journey xx

    Coffee

    Thanks everyone. I'll put the kettle on! X
  118. SocialButterfly80

    Coffee

    Had I better not risk it then?
  119. SocialButterfly80

    Coffee

    Thanks guys. I'm not on slimming world either - am doing exante so you think a splash of milk is ok? X
  120. SocialButterfly80

    Coffee

    Is white coffee a definite NO? Have tried black tea and coffee for past 10 days and I hate the stuff. Would one white coffee a day be terrible? X

    Love it!

    Hi Lisa! Massive congratulations for squeezing back into the 12s!! Bet that felt good! Don't think I have ever been a 12 but starting to feel that anything can be achieved at the moment. I think I must hit a mid week battle as around this time on a Wednesday I start craving food. By tomorrow...
  122. SocialButterfly80

    Love it!

    Yes this is it! We will see this thing through to the end and will be so proud of ourselves! A pamper night sounds a great idea - I guess that is what it's all about- retraining your brain that treats don't have to equal food. X

    Thanks everyone. Food really isn't bothering me during the week. I find it much easier not have to plan meals or count points. I know what I can have each day and that's it. So good to know there are so many other people on this journey. Oxopop - in week two you will begin to notice such a...

    Good morning everyone! Today is my day 10 and I can't believe how well I have taken to this diet. My clothes feel looser already and this just gives such a buzz doesn't it!? Had a sneaky look at scales this morning and I am 6lb lighter than Monday so that is over a stone gone so far! I am...

    Day 6

    Thanks for the posts everyone! Well done us for getting through a Friday night! Got weighed this morning and I was 12lb lighter than Monday! However, my brain is tormenting me and saying "you've done so well- have a treat tonight". I also feel quite moody since I woke up so am really fighting...

    Day 6

    Survived the dreaded Friday night treats - just have to get through take away tonight! Feeling ok on day 6 as think my body is getting used to it. My body feels like it is changes already which is encouraging. Just about to make first shake of the day. Have a good one everyone x

    Exante day 5!!!

    Think we have a very similar approach to this diet. I'm enjoying it too but worried about weakening at a weekend. Just think of that big glass of wine you will have soon to celebrate losing the weight! That will be the best glass ever! X
  134. SocialButterfly80

    So hard!

    Thanks midnight-sparkles! You have done amazing! Bet you feel like a different person. It's so encouraging to hear from people like you who are proof that it works! It does seem a long journey ahead but hopefully this is the last time I will have to make it! One day at a time and hopefully it...

    Day 5 - the journey so far

    I know exactly what you mean! During the week is easy but when weekend comes that usually means treats! Friday is usually take away night but I'm just going to sit there with my shake and with every sip I will imagine all the lovely summer dresses I can wear this year! We've taken the first step...

    So hard!

    Thanks very much miss demeanour. I know each day will be a mini battle until I get to my goal. Just would like this tiredness to end. To be honest I can't say I've felt hungry every day - I think it's my mind playing games with me and torturing me with thoughts of all the things I can't eat! I...

    Day 5 - the journey so far

    Hi everyone, Today is my day 5. Found last night really hard as I wanted to eat everything in site but I was good and resisted. This morning I feel a lot better. Had a sneaky peek on the scales (couldn't resist) and am 10lb lighter than Monday. My clothes feel better already and I can...

    Thanks so much everyone! Read all your comments first thing this morning and that has given me the motivation for the day ahead! Am on day 4 now and feeling good so far.

    Day 3- I'm ready for you!

    So this is my third day. Feeling really good so far but not faced any real temptation yet! I love the thought that I just grab a shake or a bar - no point counting or meal planning. Perhaps this really is the diet that will work for me. Just bought some boullion after reading some of the...
