Second time round is harder for me too. Your loss was fantastic, well done!!

I've decided to go up to 1000 plan as I'm close to my goal but also need it to get more exciting! Cannot wait for real food :)

Only 2lbs down this week. Fed up. Bored. Can't seem to stay motivated. Managing to keep to 100%, but not sure how long for...

Good luck Karen! X

Good luck for tonight Charm :) Always exciting when the fairy visits x

Welcome to the forum Sarah! I hope this weight plan goes well for you. If you're feeling a little demotivated, come on here for some support, that's what I do! Once you see the changes it is easy to stay focused. Keep a list of the reasons why you're doing this close to you :) Good luck, I'm...

Weighed in this morning and I'm 134lbs. Although this is a number I haven't seen in a while, it means that I have only lost 2.8lbs :( I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed with that. I've been 100% all week. Oh well, next week is a new week and all that...

Went for coffee with my dad today, asked for a cappuccino with skimmed milk and watched them make it with semi skimmed. I usually don't like making a fuss but it could completely ruin my ketosis. I didn't explain that to the coffee shop man, but told him that it was essential to have skimmed. He...

Thank you :) x

Just returned from my first weigh in, 6lbs lost! Woohoo :D

First weigh in at 9am, fingers crossed. I definitely feel smaller already! Eeek x

Thanks hun, I know it's a lot of babbling on here but it keeps me distracted x

Went to a coffee morning with my mum this morning, and it was 'all you can eat pancakes'!!! Difficult but I managed it. Couldn't have looked more like a starving feral animal if I tried! Self restraint is the biggest part of CWP, I swear.

Third day into my return to CWP and I'm feeling ok. I know that I am in or soon to be in ketosis as my mouth is dry and the hunger is reducing. I am keeping myself on track using myfitnesspal app and added a few friends on there, you can never have too little encouragement. I am already feeling...

Well done hun, you can get good results doing the 810 plan without feeling as though you're starving yourself as much. Plus it's not so awkward when you go out for a meal i.e. chicken salad etc. Keep going, you can do this! And I completely understand what you mean when you say that you feel...

Tilford Woods is beautiful :) x

We have booked Mauritius for our honeymoon in June. Looks so beautiful :) cannot wait! X

End of first day and feeling hungry yet positive. Ketosis, show your face soon please :)

Ok, today is the day! Bye bye real food :( cannot wait to get back into this though.

That's it, I've emailed my CDC for my first appointment. No going back now! :)

Right. Confession time! I haven't been on here since the end of July, almost 6 months ago to the day!! During that time I have had an all inclusive holiday, Christmas, started a new (stressful) job and generally been rather naughty when it came to food. I did not return to CD after my holiday...

Thanks for all your support everybody. My CDC also said its because I'm not drinking enough water now, so need to be aware of my fluid intake. I am also going on holiday (now in 21 days) so want to lose as much as I can before I go, especially as it's all inclusive. Then back onto CWP after. Xx

Does anybody else feel as though their losses have stopped? (Either now or in the past). I'm finding it difficult to stay motivated...:-(

Thanks hun, you'll definitely be able to do it x

Hi guys, This is another before and now pic ('scuse the undies). Shows a 19.4lb loss in 5 weeks. If I can do it, you certainly can! X

Hey everyone! Hope your journeys are going well. Does anybody set themselves personal goald for their weightloss, and treat themselves when they get there(not food)? If so, what sort of things do you do/buy? Eloise x

Five weeks in and I've now lost 19.4lbs, making me weigh 10st3.2lbs. Although I'm still losing, it feels as though it is slowing down considerably. Any tips to maintain a steady loss? X

Just make sure you eat a plain chicken salad. It won't knock you out of ketosis. X

Also another thing that is keeping me motivated is that I've got a job starting September as a staff nurse! That's it! My student days are over. I would love to get a smaller sized uniform :)

Fantastic loss honey! Just focus on the fact that if you stick to the plan, you will never see the 20's again! X

Have been going for one month now and I've lost 17.6lbs :) currently at 10st5lbs. Not long till the 9's!

FairyDust, you are doing amazingly well! You look fab :) well done xx

Thank you, it's 10st 8.5lbs :) I'd love to lose at least another stone... x

Eeek, I've lost a stone now :) first big goal achieved!!! X

I use spices and don't seem to be suffering any ill effects or delayed losses. The booklet says that you can flavour your food with herbs and spices.

Thanks ladies :) still a long way to go x

Hi Claire! I'm on my 13th day and I've lost 11lbs. I'm doing the 810 plan because I have an actuve job. Just make sure you drink lots of water, remove tempting foods from your house and always come here for support. All the best honey x

wowowow! Well done! Fantastic results, you look like a different person. And in such a short time! That's why I love CD :clap:

Brilliant losses hun, well done! Keep up the good work x

Briliant! Well done, I bet you're starting to see and feel the results by now? x

Fantastic, brilliant loss! well done x

Hi fransan, how's it going so far?

Good luck lovely ladies! The support on here really keeps you focused!

Hi everyone, thought I would upload photographs of my journey in this diary. This is after 13 days on 810 with 11lbs loss. Long way to go yet, but I don't think this is too bad for 2 weeks...

Firstly, apologies for the underwear pictures! I've been on 810 plan for two weeks now and I've lost 11lbs. I only see a small difference though, but I guess it's still early days. Got a long way to go yet... All the other photos on here have kept me motivated, so I hope these will have the...

That is ridiculously amazing. Well done hun, you're a complete knockout! X

*** I haven't experienced any problems x Ps stupid touch screen! :)

I've been using it as my green leaf allowance and

Thanks hun! They are definitely a great motivation! Getting married in June but I would like to buy my dress in a similar size to what I'll be on the day (going shopping October/November). Then that will be a good motivation to be able to maintain :D x

Thank you :) it's a great feeling. Yes, ten lbs in 2 weeks, more than I thought is lose on 810. You'll reach the 10s no problem, I'm sure. X

I love the feeling ketosis gives you - on top of the world!! :)

It has been two weeks since starting CD. Weighing today shows that I've lost 4lbs, so that's 10lbs overall :). I might post pics later on of my journey so far (if I feel brave enough!) x

Spent the morning trying on all the clothes that used to be a little snug... They now fit!!!! With room to spare! Today is going to be a good day :)

I'm back in the 10s :) yay!!

Just had my nursing interview, eeek! Times like this I usually comfort eat. I managed not to this time, even when the waiting area had a vending machine with lots of chocolate :) quite proud of myself x

So, first weigh in and I've lost 7lbs... I'm quite happy with this considering I'm doing 810, but also it's quite a poor loss in comparison to others :(.

So, it's the end of my first week and I've made it through 100%! (doesn't sound like a big thing but I usually lack the motivation). Weigh in tomorrow morning... Eeek.

Hi ladies! At least they have more nutrients in :). Stupid question, but what are 'syns'? I'm a newbie here, at the end of my first week x

Wow Mandy! That's amazing :) I bet you feel SO good in that dress. Times like this makes the effort completely worth it. Well done xx

Hi ladies (and gents)! I'm curious as to what all of your losses were over your first four weeks? I'm nearly through my first week 100%, but I have an event in three and a bit weeks and was wondering what I could expect roughly? E xx

Hi RedDevil! You can buy ketosticks to test your urine with, I test mine at work (I'm a nurse and urinalysis kits are readily available). You can buy them from pharmacists. You also know if you're in ketosis if you show the symptoms such as bad breath, dry tongue, decreased hunger etc Xx

Thanks lil_legs :) I felt really faint at work yesterday, but that was because I left it too long between shakes (working funny shifts). Was so ready to give up, but did a ketone test and guess what...? I'm in ketosis!! :D Over the halfway point of first week now and feeling good.

Hi, I get this all the time! I'm a nurse so you can imagine the lectures I get from my colleagues. I am doing the 810 plan. I explain to them about how nutritionally balanced it is, juls low fat, carbs and calories. What I've done is track what I'm having with myfitnesspal, and it shows the % of...

Hi, I also started in June. 23rd. This is my fourth day now and my hunger is slowly subsiding. :) nice to see other new starters on here x

Hi everyone! Just about to start my fourth day on CD810 (I'm on this due to my active job and CDC said I'd feel unwell on a lower plan). I find this plan a little more sociable as I can still have a meal with my fiancé/family/friends without getting grumpy and feeling left out :). I honestly...

I swear by myfitnesspal! It's amazing x

Ketosis!

Wellies

Variety is the spice of life :D

Wow Wow Wow! Truly amazing, well done hun! x

Wow, some of these ideas sound pretty yummy. I completely agree that the 810 plan and being able to have a meal is what has kept me 100% for my first two days. It means that I won't get grumpy with the mister either as we can still eat dinner together in the evening. Thanks for the fab ideas...

Wow, you're doing really well! Looks like you'll be on track for bridesmaids duty :). I've just completed my first day and your losses have definitely motivated me to continue, so thank you x

Hi everybody! I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now and I've decided to embark on my CD journey, some of your stories have been truly inspirational. I am doing the 810 as my lifestyle is quite active. Just a couple of questions: - what sort of weight loss is to be expected with...

Thank you so much everybody for your advice :-) Also, it's lively to see other student nurses out there! Keep up the good work xx

Hi everyone. Just looking for some advice really! I plan on starting CD soon, but I am a student nurse and am currently working on a very busy ward. During the first few days of CD, do you feel faint/agitated at all? Would it be worth waiting until I finish my placement in June so I can...

Yay! Congratulations on the booking. Makes it all feel a lot more real and exciting! Enjoy every moment of planning xx

Eeek exciting! Good luck to you, I hope you find the one :-). And well done for the weight loss hun, that's a fantastic amount. How are all your other plans going? X

Thank you! In an ideal world I would like to lose about 2stone, which shouldn't be too bad with CD but the issue will be keeping it off!! How much would you like to lose? How are the plans going? Xx

Fantastic, just what I needed to get motivated. Thank you :-) x

Oh my goodness, this is amazing! You are stunning and such an inspiration x

Hi everybody! I'm new to here and it's nice to see so many people all loved up and planning their big days :-) I get married on 22nd June 2013, and am planning on starting the Cambridge Diet after my uni deadlines (not long now!). Just keep picturing yourselves in your gorgeous dress on the...

Just introducing myself. I am planning on starting the Cambridge Diet once my deadlines are over. The reason behind my wish to lose weight is predominantly for my wedding in June 2013(have a little while, I know, but I want to start dress shopping soon and don't want the dress to have to be...
