i do think my naughtiness is also down to the fact of me not going to the toilet - i have been once in 10 days and i keep thinking this cant be good and needing some food some inside to help me go! haha! must stop these thoughts!

Keep it up jade! you will see some excellent results this week... (unlike myself!! haha) Last night i was actually craving fish shop chips!!!! hehe....... AT least i got through that craving, that would not have been good...!!!

Ypou are amazing jade!!! Your will power is wicked.. wish i had some! haha.. Yep today is a new day - and i am glugging the water as we speak.. right back on it... its because i was out with my partner working all day and we didnt have time to stop to make a shake so he grabbed some food and...

Ok so today has been terrible... But I knew it would be from the start! Haha.. Anyway I have realised my partner is away the weekend meaning this weekend is going to he easy peezy for me diet wise!!! So I'm hoping today's naughtiness will be cancelled out by my goodness this weekend! Haha...

Oh no! Boooo!!! Have a SS+ meal maybe??? X

You can do that jade no probs!!!!

Well done gem that's great!! I have my bday next week also, so am hoping not to put too much on.. My CDC told me to have a bighish meal before going out drinking!!! X

And I lost 6lbs! Very happy.... Hoping for minimum 4lbs this week!!! Woooop!!!

Yeh do it.. Have u had any shakes today?? X

On my second "meal" of the day! Had a bar earlier when I left weigh in and now just having a hot choc shake.... My SS+ meal will be chick n spinach then another hot choc before bed!! Roll on....

I try to stop drinking after 6ish cos I hate keep getting up in the night for a wee! I leave glasses of water around, one in the kitchen one in dining room and one upstairs so when I move about the house I take swigs of water! It does work! Try it! Haha x

I think iv updated it?!

I don't think no can do it on my iPhone?! Il have a look!! I reckon after a stone il start to notice.. They say its roughly a dress size per stone! Lol! The water is hard! Especially when I'm not at work.. At work I have a water machine so it's easy peezy!!! How about u?

My target this week is to lose minimum 4lbs...!! Bring it on xxx

£6.50 each way... Wow that bumps up your bill abit doesn't it!!! Ask her if she will drop a couple to u! Lol!

Haha no not noticing any difference yet! Yes it's motivated me to carry on, but this week I have a Xmas dinner on Friday! Altho, we had to pre order so iv been good and ordered soup and salmon...!! That was the only healthy option on the menu!! Also next week I'm going to my CDC on Tuesday...

Oh no! Can u ask her to swap a couple for the porridge u like?????

Thanking uuu!!!!

Got my blender back!! Woooopa xxx

Haha god I hope so!!!!! X

My brother has booked his wedding for October!!! So I have 11 months to shift this flab as I am bridesmaid! Such good motivation to make me want to do this!!!

I've only had one as well, saving my last two for tonight! A body wrap is when they wrap u in bandages and some treatment stuff and you lose minimum of around 10inches all over! It's only temporary (think due to water loss) but would be a good incentive and nice for a pamper treatment! Man I...

So I just got bk from work and realised I left my hand blender there! What am I to do! Mixed up my first shake of cookies and cream but was sooooo lumpy ugh...need to go bk to work to collect it desperately!! Lucky my work isn't too far away! X

I am struggling today.......!!!! I think its where i didnt have much sleep last night....... Hope your day is going ok!! x

Thank you!

BIG WELL DONE TO YOU! You are doing brilliantly!!! xx

HI all, sorry for the gruesome post but I have just realised i havent been to the toilet for a week since i started the diet!!! I dont feel constipated or bloated which is odd but i wondered what i could take to make me go!!! Any ideas?? anyone else had this similar problemo?? x

OMG... I have just realised i havent been to the toilet for a week?!!!!!!!!!!! I dont feel constipated or bloated tho??? I usually have trouble going, i would say i go once every 2-3 days but seriously a week is way too long!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK

Hi Dee, are you still with us? How are you doing?? x

AHHHHHHH I REALLY WANT CAKE!!! Been looking at cakes for my sons third bday party and they have made me sooo hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh wow! Thats amaze! I may have a sneaky weigh in later when i get back from work! Also, i have decided, next week before my birthda, (its my bday saturday, so maybe friday) I am going to have one of them body wraps, i know its only temporary results but will be nice to lose a couple of inches...

Day before my 1st official weigh in....! Praying for a loss of more than 2 pounds! haha... I am so tired today, my 3 year old had me p all night wanting to get in bed with me, so i am shattered..!! Need to go to the bank today, will pass some time.. havent drank much water yet so il get...

Ill do the same!! I cant remember if she measured me last week - i think she did.. hmmmm.. but il let you know!!!

Roll on Wednesday! U will do so well! I'm just praying for a loss due to my mishap of a weekend!!!!

Watching the soaps! Pass some time so indoor think about food.....

U could treat yourself to a coke zero?! Haha.. Ah bless them, my almost three year old is the worst when it comes to eating! Fortunately he eats lots at nursery so they tell me so I'm not too fussed if he doesn't eat much in the evenings (he has his three main meals there!) - one less dinner to...

Oh good idea.. U have just answered my other post by the way!! Haha.. U will get there in no time at all the rate your going!!!

Very true about the negative comments! So are u going to go straight from SSing to SW??

Some days iv found it hard to have three shakes.. I think it's because some of them iv not been keen on I dread having them again! Haha! Did u say h were 5ft 8?? I need to grow two more inches!!!

Oooo and I haven't tried strawberry yet.. Saving that for tomorrow... My last three are strawberry, chick n mush soup and a choc and mint!

Haha loving the Facebook status ! Have u told all your friends u are on the diet then? So many people are negative when I tell them.. They say "oh the weight will go straight back on!"!! Well done on the jeans by the way!! Firetrap are small! I'm sure I can't fit my ass in a 14 in firetrap...

Very true! That's what we need to keep thinking! It's not forever! How long do u want To SS for? I'd like to shift 1stone SSing then move up the plans and shift the pounds slightly slower? X

For some reason when I go on the forum on my phone it takes me to the slimming work threads.. And it's sooo annoying because I keep seeing nice things what people are eating! Haha!!

Any flavours left to try?? I love your updates of the flavours!! I didn't get as many flavours as u, maybe my CDC doesn't stock all of them!! It's nearly Wednesday!!!!

I am soo cold... I'm now on a black tea.. Warm me up a bit.. The water has been going down well today!! Deciding what to cook the other half for dinner.. Preferably something I don't like so I'm not tempted!! Hehe x

On my second shake already... Having vanilla and a dash of coffee!! Almost a bit sick of these vanilla ones.. Next week il mainly be on choc and mint choc!!! Especially because its cold, I love a hot drink in this weather!

wow i was just reading your post regarding the chinese!! Cant believe u resited!! A gold star for u!! :rolleyes: Well done jade!!!!!!!!xx

Right... bank on it 100% today... gluggiong down the water as we speak...!! I am sole sourcing this week, no meals at all...!! Hope everyone has good days... Im feeling good today!!! new week new start.. xx

How much does your CDC charge for tetras? Mine charges 2.25 for tetras and 2.20 for bars!! And £2 for packets!!!

Ooo I never got any coconut ones as I can't stand coconut! The tomato soup was really powdery! Maybe I didn't make it up right then? I blended it aswell and still powdery! Won't be having it again tho!! Don't think il have any soups next week xx

I have my bday on 8th December so that's my only crazy day planned... Well I'm not gona go crazy but just have a few drinks so il have a meal as well that day.. It is expensive..!! When are you goin to try the bars? I might ask for some next week? X

Keep it up jade your doing brilliant... 100% SS for me as of now!!! Just having cookies and cream shake.. Nice.. So far I think next week I'm going to be living on chocolate, mint choc and cookies and cream!! X

Oh no! Ur doing brilliantly! Better than me.. Whatever diet I'm on I find it hard at the weekends.. We have so many parties going on at the minute.. And i can't keep myself away when there's food!!! I'm 100% sole sourcing until Wednesday now, no meal nothing...I haven't weighed at all am too...

Haha that's ok! Haven't had a chance to get on here today... So last night had a little mishap again but nothing too bad!! Today I had a slice of beef for my meal - I know that's not allowed but I gathered at least I'm not eating the roast potatos put in front of me and just ate one slice of...

Hahaha u can have my porridges!!! Ugh! Haha.. I'm loving the choc mint at the mo but only have one left so am saving it for when I most need it! Haha Just cooking my partner some meat balls they smell gooood! But so does my glass of water... ;) I don't think iv drunk much today so I'm trying...

Hi jade How was yesturday for you??? Today will be a good day.. What shakes u having?? Must say I'm looking forward to getting through the weekend! Weekends are usually my toughest time when on a diet!! Haven't had a sneaky weigh yet have you? Is your weigh day Tuesday? X

Day 4... Ok so I messed up last night but today back to it.. Just having a vanilla and coffee.. I think I only like my shakes when they are piping hot! As soon as they start to turn like warm I really can't stand them so drink them as fast as I can! Going to see my nan today... She usually...

Oooops I fell off the wagon.... Back on it first thibg tomorrow xxx hopefully iv not done any damage xxx

Glad to hear your feeling better... So I wnt shopping today and my friend kept banging on and on about lunch! To the point she drove me nuts.. The only place there was to eat was like a bagel place so I ended up having half a salmon and rocket bagel.. Even then she moaned why I had left half...

Ahhhh so am annoyed... Went shopping and my friend was banging on and on about lunch! Anyway we ended up in this place that literally done bagels/baguettes/sandwiches ect so it was hell and I ended up having a salmon and rocket bagel (I only ate half) and she was going on and on about why I...

Hey jade.. How are you feeling today? Hope you are recovering... What other shakes u found and liked?! I'm just having a mint choc one and its lovely!!! Xx

Day 3... Today's the day I'm hitting the shops with a friend all day and I know I'm going to struggle at lunch time... I'm tempted to have grilled chick with some leaves at lunch so it looks like eating as I don't want her knowing I'm on a diet!! Feeling good today however I had the worst...

Iv been awake for ages! I'm going to be so tired today... Aldo I noticed when I went to the wee it was really dark like as if I was dehydrated bit surely I'm not dehydrated right?? X

Thanking you! That's great!! X

Ok day 2 gone ok so far...had a small meal of Tuna cottage cheese and some pak choi!! I also had a coke zero today! Do u think this will matter on my second day???? X

Well done that's amazing!!! Keep up the good work xx

I think iv found a shake I love.... Hot choccie watered down!!! Il be having this more often! I'm actually struggling to have 3 shakes and a small meal.. Not hungry much at all... Although today I did have a coke zero, anyone think this will matter on day 2..?!

JD.. I am shocked! Haha you are loving the porridge?? U are nuts!!!!!!! Hehe x

Haha yes defo get a new blender!! Tastes so mich better lump free!! I'm struggling tonhave my three shakes! But tonight I'm going to have a choc one... Hot maybe!! X

Oh nooo! Never mind just get straight back on it! Have you been good today? Maybe find something to do at 6 o'clock? Is this the time u get in from work and then not have much to do? I find when I sit down to watch some tv I start craving food! So iv started to do things and keep myself busy!! X

Fab thanking u these are good ideas too!! Ooooo what to have tonight!!!! X

I'm on the vanilla and coffee now! It's nice but I have watered it down quite a bit as the vanilla is a bit strong for me!! Xx

So I'm on my lunch time shake... Having a vanilla wth coffee.. However I have watered it down and put quite a bit of coffee in! So it's actually quite scrum my!! Nicer than the one I had yesturday! Finally one I have found quite nice xxxx

Thanking u!!!!

Wow thank you for that! Gave me some fab ideas! I'm on SS+ so I might have a small meal at lunch time just chick n salad plain..! Well done by the way for keeping the weight off!! Sounds like u have done brilliantly! Xx

no only a couple thank goodness!!!!

iv messaged my CDC see if she will swap my porridges!!

Im now hungry after not being able to eat my porridge!! Hmmmm... what should I have... or not?!!

Yep have hidden them today!! hehe.... I think tomorrow when i go shopping with my friend im gona tell her i had a massive brekky and going out for dinner that eve so I wont have lunch out!!! Il just stick to water!! Or something like that!! hehe, glad im not the only crazy one that doesnt tell...

yeh i had the chick and mush last night, didnt think it was too bad - a little powdery but probably the best one i have tasted yet!!! Il defo be adding a bit of spice now i know i can!!

OMG Maple and Pecan porridge was disgusting.......... I had 3 mouthfuls and the taste got worse!!! I might see if my CDC will swap the other ones I have for something different...!!

yep im using a hand blender...! I have actually made a porridge for brekky - i must say the smell is not good.. and the tatse, hang on...... Is NOT GOOD either!!! UGH it tastes like cardboard - im tryng the maple and pecan one.. have you tried any porridge yet? hmmm I may have to swap these...

Katejames_1989 - does it make the tetras watery if you add water to them??? As in, are they still nice(ish)?? I found them quite sickly so am thinking if i did this and watered them down a bit they might tatse better.. never thought of doing it before!

Oh no! I only got up once in the night and that was because my 3 year old woke me up and then i needed to go!! Have you got antibiotics for your tonisls?? Hope you get better soon... What soups/shakes are you going to have today?? x

Thanks Ewansmum, I will ask my councillor for some when I see her next week on Wednesday!! xx

Big massive congrats and well done!! I cant believe you lost nearly 2 stone in the first week... WOWZA!!!! You have done amazing! x

Very well done!! Im loving looking at everyones pictures, its so motivating!! Keep up the good work hun x

wow well done.... think i may have to take some pics tonight when I get home!!! You have done amazing! x

Good luck with your weight loss journey!! Look forward to reading your journey in the new year! x

At my work we have one of them water coolers so it makes me drink more because I only like really cold water!! But when I am at home I will do the same, I fill up 2 1L bottles and put them in the fridge so I know how much I need to drink in the day!!

Hi all again, I know this is a bit of a strange one but I was wondering if you have all told your friends you are on the diet?? I havent told mine for the reason that some of them would roll their eyes at me, tell me its a quick fix, or "oh you wont stick to it" and this would really demotivate...

So day 2 begins..... I have a feeling its going to be hard today but i am going to stay positive!! I have lined up my daily intake - having maple and pecan porridge for brekky, followed by a vanilla flavoured (with coffee) shake for lunch and a choc shake for dinner... and then il have a 200...

Morning!! OMG how do you resist temptation working in the fish shop!! You deserve a medal for every shift youdo! SO day 2 begins.. i have a feeling today is going to be HARD!! But lets think positive! It will be fine... as easy as yesturday!! Drinks lots of water to fill ourselves up!! xx

Ooo thanks for the reply! I can't see the harm it will do either! Do u happen to know if your limited to 1 a day or can you do 3 a day if u want? Xx

Hey yes.. My councillor today told me on ss+ she uses her milk allowance to make an omelette so I'm guessing that means u can have both?? Il double check with her next week but she defo said it!! Xxx

Thanks RWroe.. Il keep that in mind tomorrow on day 2.. How much have u lost so far??? I can't believe how much cottage cheese u can have! Love it! Hehe xx

Haven't tried the porridge yet.. That's tomorrow's adventure!!! I must say I'm not looking forward to it!! I have done cd before about 6 yrs ago and I lost 2-3 stone then but then I got pregnant so I put about 5 stone on and never seemed to shift the last 2 stone so hopefully I will now! Have...

Anybody?????

Hi again.. Just a quick question - my councillor told me not to have bars until after 2 weeks however, do you think it would hurt if I had them in my second week?? It's just something to chew would be lovely!! Has anyone else had the bars from the start / second week?? Thanks!

I'm only on day 1 and so far so good - (I made my son a dinner that I hate so I had no temptation!) and my partner is on a diet also so there's not much temptation around... Good luck with your journeys.. Looking forward to seeing your progress! Xx

Hi ya I also started today and have pretty much done the same thing with the shakes.. Tried a few different ones and made up the rest with vanilla (also wont over by the latte thought!!) My starting weight is 13st and I want to lose 2.5st.. How much do you want to lose?? Iv started ss+ and...

So day one nearly over and I still have one shake to have.. Hmmm which one?! For tea I made myself a tiny mushroom omelette (using one egg) and then had half the quota of cottage cheese! Was soo nice and so much cottage cheese!! I think I could get used to this!! I had a chick and mush...

Good luck... I'll keep watching your progress and update you with mine!! as you know im only on day 1 but I WILL DO THIS!! Even if its up until xmas then have a little break before getting back on it... I just want to fit into my clothes again and feel comfy!! Let us know how your weigh in goes!! x

ooo well done!!! Keep it up... same here, i want to shift 2.5 stone... altho i have my bday coming up so i think i may have to fall off the wagon on that day...!!! EEEEEK... il get straight back on tho!

ok, many thanks! your a star!! good luck with your weight loss journey!! How much have you lost so far??

wow i like some of your ideas Kristin thats great.. wasnt sure if we were allowed baked beans?? Tonight im going to have an omelette and then i might try out some of our recipes the rest of the week!! fab thanking you!!!

Ok so im new to the forum but i was just wandering how do you make those little comments in the shoutbox?? I keep seeing it but i dont see how to post!! Many thanks!! :eek:

I asked my CDC today and she said that after my first few days then id be allowed...?! Not sure if that helps you at all!!

HUGE WELL DONE!!! Keep up the fab work!! xxx

WOW!!! Over a stone in your first week! That is FABULOUS!!! Keep it up... I have only started today so its great to read all these positive threads!!! xx

my councillor mentioned about having an omlette - using 2 eggs and the milk allowance so i may have that! Until i get some more ideas.. i have created a post actually for ideas for meals so hopefully people give us some good ideas!!!

Im not sure if this is the right section to be posting in but... I was wandering if anyone has any ideas for the small meal on SS+?? My councillor said she occasionally has omelette (2 eggs and the skimmed milk allowance) and a bit of veg which i thought was quite a good idea..Anyone else have...

yes same as me - sole source (3 CD's plus one 200 calorie meal!)... But what to have for the meal?? any ideas??

keep me posted with your losses! Same here - on step 1 i want to lose about 14 pounds then move up a step and try to lose the rest a bit slower... how did you find your first day??? Was it hard??

Just reading your thread and you have done so well... well done keep it up!!! How much do you want to lose all together?? I have started the diet today so only on day 1 so im just finding my feet with this forum and looking for great success stories like yours!! Keep us posted with your losses!!

HI ya, Its my first day today... How was your first day? I dont have nay tips yet!! But when I find some I will let you know.. My CDC told me to mix coffee with my vanilla shake to make it like a latte and its not bad actually! was my first shake.. How much weight do you want to lose????

Just a quick hello to you all and to introduce myself...I have been reading through some of the forums and you lot are doing incredible! I have started the cambridge diet today and hping to lose 2.5 stone.. I am currently 13stone and want to get down to 10.5.... Im 5ft 7 and a size 14-16... I...

Hi ladies and Gents, So here I am again - well I say again.. I done the Cambridge 6 years ago and lost a lot of wait but unfortunately then got pregnant and managed to pile on 4 stone (if not more) and cant seem to shift the weight!! So I am restarting... I have been to see my councillor today...

Hi there, how are you doing so far? I'm restarting tomorrow for the second time also - have 3 stone to lose really hope I can stick to it.. I'm guessing its harder second time round?? X
