Just read some of your diary. You got engaged! Wow congratulations!!! :) Honestly you shouldn't feel bad about the celebratory eating/drinking at ALL! If you're getting back on it straight away though, just keep thinking that you can be around 8-11lbs lighter in a week! All you have to do is...

Hiya! I definitely find I feel better headache/tiredness-wise after the first 3 or 4 days are done, but I find it much easier not to eat anything naughty in the first week. In the second week I start really missing treats! Just try to calm myself with something not tooo naughty like a diet coke...

Hiya! Sorry for taking ages to reply, had a naughty few days on thurs/fri/weekend and haven't been on here. I was 2lb more than last week at my weigh-in last night. But still thats -6lbs in two weeks so happy still :) Getting back on it properly now though! Have until 29th August and I want to...

Hi Kirst, thanks! Yes am pretty pleased with loss so far. Lost 8lbs in week one last time, and so did you! So must be a usual amount. I have been a tiny bit naughty this week (had lamb grills and beans on Mon night, and some potato wedges last night!) but have also cycled to work (9 miles) a...

P.S. Have you got your own diary going? Mine's called "Crockers Doing Cambridge" x

Oh dear why are you so cold? It's boiling where I am today (Bath) and hot in the office. That's so weird – my weigh-in day will be Monday but my CDC also on hols, so mine's 20th too! Crazy. It'll be my first two weeks and last time that was 10lbs altogether - so fingers crossed for that! Yeah I...

Hey – yeah I was quite bad!! Had a lot of crisps! Tried to stick to just meat and veg for dinner, but often had a sandwich or something during the day. Before I started the first time, I was living with a boyfriend and think I had just eaten FAR too much (big man portions) for quite a few...

Hi Shazziebelle! I'm just restarting for the second time (see signature). Weirdly I actually sort of missed doing the diet ... it did make me feel really great after a couple of weeks. Good skin, no bloatedness, etc. I'm on day 2 and can feel the tiredness coming on. Last time I started on a...

Hi all, Well, I've had a month off, eating normal food and drinking, but today is the first day of Cambridge mark two. Saw my CDC last night and pretty happy that I'm only 2lbs heavier than when I last saw her a month ago – and it's TOTM so I blame that entirely :) My new aim is to lose a stone...

Thanks mate! Just about :-/ Really just want to not have this cold/flu thing anymore now though! How are you doing? x

Hey Kerry! Not too bad... I have swapped CDCs as the old one was going on holiday and was a bit far away from me anyway really. New one is lovely! And she gave me the Cambridge book which the other one didn't!!! Seems a bit odd... oh well. I'm on antibiotics this week as had stuffed up head/bad...

Hey Kerry - hope you feel better today? Oh god I know what you mean, food is such a comfort sometimes in stressful situations. Just got to remember there are other ways to feel better! Ryan Gosling films do the trick I find... ;) x

You'll be alright! And there's always next week :)

P.S. Lovely photo! :)

Hehe good to hear! :) I had a couple of Senokot last week but seem to be okay now.. touch wood. I know what you mean about being thirsry - I'm constantly needing a drink! x

Hiya! Thanks for the congrats :) Naah you'll be fine! Just carry on as normal and you'll still lose. You still have two days! I had gin and tonic at the weekend, but then was good and drank LOAADS of water for three days before yday's WI and managed a little loss still. It'll be fiiiiine. :)

Woop glad to hear it :) I get that as well... "what you can't even just have THAT?" NOOOOO get the idea people! I've only had a choc shake so far today... looking forward to some porridge when I get home :)

Me too! Hawaii is calling me! :) Hope you have a good day too X

Ha I know! Got away with it! :) WAnt to lose more than 3 next week though so NO GIN :) You alright?

Thanks! :)

Just had my two-week weigh-in and I managed to lose 3lbs this week despite my gin and tonic episode on saturday!! Very please with that, although can't help thinking would've lost more if I had just been stronger when faced with alcohol! So I'm 12st 3lbs now. I want to lose 17lbs by the end of...

Yeah I'm thinking it might just be a cold I already had but taking longer to clear up than usual because of diet change... mmm fingers crossed it will disappear!!

Hi winemonster! I like your name for I am one too. I'm on day 14 and can't believe I've gone 2 weeks without wine!! Have lost around 10lbs though (WI tonight to know for sure) which feels worth it. I'm noticing weight loss already on my face a bit and also around my waist and tummy. Hoping the...

Has anyone else suffered with major head/nasal congestion when starting on sole source? I've had it for over a week now, and it's not going away! I'm worried the amount of dairy in the shakes and lack of other foods might be causing this. Or maybe it's a side-effect of cutting out bad stuff...

Hiya! I have a general question and this seemed like a good place to ask .... I'm on day 14 of sole source and I'm having a minor freak-out this afternoon because I've had major head/nasal congestion for over a week now, and it's not going away! Of course, it could just be a cold that won't go...

Cheers Rachel :) Hope your headache has gone!! I know what you mean about SS+, it seems like allowing myself past that eating-nothing-normal stage might take me into eating-everything territory! But you CAN do it! You'll probably find the meals make you feel reeeally full, after having hardly...

Me too!! Ha :) After my slightly slack week I'm feeling a renewed motivation to be good for the whole of July. It's just one month after all!??! I am switching CDCs as mine is going on holiday for most of July, plus she was a bit far away and not as motivational as I thought she would be. I...

Wow 10lbs brilliant - and that's loads off your waist! :) Ah yeah totm will do that I suppose, the b*st*rd. :mad: Think I'll have a low loss tomorrow thanks to giving into gin, but hopefully still a couple of lbs. Then if another couple the following week I MIGHT be able to say a stone in three...

Cheers Kerry :-) ALthough the gin was ever so slightly naughty :-/ How are you doing?x

Hey Rachel! How are you doing? Have been off here for a few days but just updated my diary with my naughtiness and hopes.... :) You alright? X

Weigh-in tomorrow eeeeek! Well, in the few days I've not written on here I've been quite busy and a *tiny* bit naughty. It was my dad's 65th birthday party on saturday allll day long (1pm until around 11pm) and there was a houseful of family and friends drinking booze and a whole spread of...

Good thanks! Looking a bit knackered and spotty on the chin though... I hope this is just all of the bad stuff coming out of me and I'll look glowing soon!! It's my dad's birthday party tomorrow and there's going to be lots of booze and finger food lying around... got to say NOOOOOO. Really...

Morning mate :) Tuesday is so close - you can hang in there! Don't know if it works for you, but I keep thinking "I want to be slim MORE than I want THAT bit of food" and it seems to work. Was at my boyfriend's last night and was really hard watching him eat loads, but then later on I felt...

Hi Kerry, have just read your first diary post. Wow well done that's amazing in 10 days! How are you feeling today? I'm on day 9 today. My one-week weigh-in was an 8lb loss, so I'm hoping I can get to a stone lost in two weeks. Fingers crossed for 6lbs this week! I'm still doing SS but thinking...

Ah so glad you feel better :-) Yeah is actually quite good that i cant smell all the nice food people are eating around me! I've never had hayfever but ppl keep saying it could be that or some other allergy. hoping its jyst a cold that will go away in couple of days. Ah how old is your son...

Hi hun, are things getting better since this post? Have only just read it, sorry. Gnome thief! Nightmare! I hate when family members get on their high horses about such things. Did you manage to avoid the food? I think it's fair enough if not - some things are more important than dieting...

Ah just asked how you were on my diary... I see here you feel more human today! Glad to hear :-) Yes pouring down here too... just stuck in the office though so don't mind too much. Hope your housework is going okay! x

Thanks hun, hope you're having a good day :) Are you feeling better than yesterday/the other day? (sorry I lose track of what days things are happening on here!) Going to try senokot instead I think as seems to have better reviews online. i dont have tummy ache or anything but would just be good...

Actually, I just read a few reviews (and your own experience) of Duclolax and think I'm gonna leave it! Did have it some time last year just for bit of constipation and do remember getting very bad cramps. Can't be doing with that tonight! G'night :) x

Thanks Rach! Um she's nice but a bit non-chatty. It was all a bit go in, weigh, buy food, leave. She didn't really ask how I was feeling and stuff, which I expected. What is yours like? Mine's also a 15 minute drive from my house but I think there's someone else really near, so might swap. I...

Yeah it prob would make the difference. Gonna try and stick out SS for at least one more week then see how i feel i think.

Official weigh-in weight is 12st6lbs! Well happy with that. 8lbs down, 20 to go! :)

Ah glad you're feeling better! I've been a bit 'irregular' too, but bit scared to take laxative as have had cramping issues before. It isn't too bad at the mo so gonna let the water do its work. God yeah it feels like i'm overflowing with water! Also really hard to drink loads in one go cos...

Hiya, yeah have had some paraceptamol amd decongestant, which helps a bit. The soups are alright! Just kind of like cup-a-soups. I've only had leek and potato and vegetable, but both nice. Much more thick and flavourful than i imagined! Is nice to actually have something hot and like proper-food...

It's day 7! I am feeling basically normal today, aside from having a really blocked-up head. I keep thinking maybe my body is freaking out due to lack of sugar/carbs etc and trying to fight toxins or something?? Or maybe it's just hayfever or a cold... ;) Otherwise i feel great and not hungry or...

Hi mate! Checking in a bit late today, hope you're feeling better? Xx

Yaay! Well done mate :)

Hey! been off the ball today soz. Went to docs about my wrist, and its a sprained tendon apparently! have to continue to type lefthand only and not use it much for 4 weeks! no fun :( Feeling good diet wise tho! Much better today than yday. And hve only had one shake so far and dont feel hungry...

Thanks :) That is really good to hear!

Yeah that's how I feel, and have to babysit my 5-year-old niece tonight! Hopefully she'll already be in bed when I get there. Have told my sister she cant stay out too late. need bed!

Ah thank you Rachel :) Your day 5 sounds the same as mine today then! So reassuring to hear it's not just me. I've spent all day so far doing something that would usually take about half an hour. Oh well! Yes I'll go fill up my water bottle now. The weeing is mental isn't it?! I think my...

Hiya! Yes did okay at the weekend. Just watched films, hung around at home and did lie down a lot! :) It's today I feel worse. It's day 5 so maybe tomorrow will be the turning point. I feel knackered and a bit sick whenever I drink water. Fingers crossed this will pass! Swapping my some of my...

Was the day you felt crap day 5? Because I feel crap today! (Day 5). Hoping tomorrow will be different :)

Hey Rachel, feeling a bit rubbish and tired today ... couldn't sleep until about half12 so only had about 6 hours, hence feeling knackered! Prob due to my cold as well. Just at work though and trying not to do too much :) Someone has just brought loads of cakes in for a bday which I am ignoring...

Yeah I might need to take my toothbrush to work! In the FAQs on the website it says try sugarfree gum for bad breath, so I guess okay! Hope you've had a good day. I've felt knackered. Going to have a good sleep now :)

Ha yeah me too! And I'm all blocked up with a cold so I can't even smell it myself to check! I can have sugarfree chewing gum can't i? x

hehe indeed! :) i've heard about these fifty shades of grey books... and also heard that the director making the film version wants gosling to star! match made in heaven i'm thinking... Hope you've had a good day. Sweet dreams!!

Ha my sister just told me my breath is abit stinky, never been happy to hear that before! Must be in ketosis.

Cheers hun! Had chocshake for breakfast and e me feel loads better. Can't believe how much they fill me up too! God yeah I haven't fallen for a famous guy since I was a teenager, but I actually can't stop thinkin about ryan! Ha. Think my boyfriend is concerned. Watch The Notebook followed by...

Cheers mate! :) I've got a serious Gosling problem... watched The Notebook and Crazy Stupid Love in the last few days, and I've got Lars and the Real Girl, Fracture and Half Nelson to watch! Lord he's just so cool. CSL is a brilliant film, he's so ridiculously hot in it.

Ah well 2lbs is still great! Yeah I can imagine if my CDC goes away I'd be the same. Hopefully she doesn't like holidays! :) Yeah nobody believes me when I tell them my weight either, yesterday my auntie was even like "you do NOT way 13 stone" as if I had just made it up or something. But we...

Hi LeaV! Ugh yes drunkeness is never nice to see when you're sober and in bed!! feel for you X Hope work is okay and you're not too tired?! SOunds like you did amazingly well yesterday. Bet it felt good to stick to it though! I'm on Day 4 today and still lying in bed (sorry!) but can tell I feel...

My boss at work did the diet and ONLY had chocolate shakes, and she's really tall so that was four a day! They are nice but I don't think I could do that... she did lose over two stone though!

Day 4 begins... I was hoping to have a massive lie-in so that I wouldn't have first shake til later on, but I woke up around 8.30am and can't get back to sleep! I feel kind of tired and woozy but buzzing. I have a bit of a cold with chesty cough and blocked up head so that's probably not...

Aw i quite like the porridge, at the mo anyway! :)

Thanks NLN :) I am feeling a bit knackered today, but also have bad wrist and a cold, so that's distracting me from thinking I'm hungry. Yes going to have to find some things to occupy me tomorrow... sunday on day 4 probably going to be hard. Might just try to sleep a lot and watch some films...

I just did a VERY naughty early weigh in my bathroom (trying to spur myself on, as it's dad's birthday and mum's putting on a lovely lunch with wine!!). Luckily, it worked! I've lost 4lbs so am now 12st10lbs, hoorah. Gonna keep going! Haven't eaten yet today, so going to start with soup for...

Hi Surfhunny! I'm new on here so have just been reading a few people's diaries, and I wanted to send you a message. Just as someone comig in now and seeing how much yyou've already lost, it's amazing! You have absolutely no reason to feel bad - you've done brilliantly. I know what you mean about...

AH yes I always find things put away but crumbs remaining all over the surfaces and floor! I'm only on day 3 and have tried to just sleep away most of the morning... less hours to think about eating! :) Your weightloss is really inspiring me as you've done exactly what my goal is - 13 down to...

Oo vanilla with coffee! Sounds like a good starbucks vanilla latte replacement! :) It's good to read that you've done it before and day 5 onwards is better. I'm on day 3 myself and haven't even got out of bed yet! First 2 days weren't too bad but am concerned today and tomorrow will be. I can...

You can do it! Xxx

Hey sorry reply is so late! Yeah otherwise my day has been good. That sore tummy only lasted about half hour in the end and I had a successful toilet trip! (sorry too much info!!) :o I had my shake and then a load of water and felt better. Was a challenge tonight as I went to my friends' place...

Argh I'm feeling a bit sore of the tummy again now! It's constipation I think. Hopefully it will eventually sort itself out. Has anyone taken Senokot?

Ah I possibly planned a bit wrong then as day 3 and 4 for me are saturday and sunday! Might just lie-in as long as possible... :)

Ah that sounds like you'll be sufficiently distracted! I don't have any big plans, just going to see some friends and also it's my dad's bday tomorrow, plus father's day on sunday (I've told him I can't go out for a meal...) :-/ I just had my first food of the day - the plain porridge for lunch...

oh no sorry you're feeling strange :( are you on day 3? My boss at work has done cambridge (and lost 2 stone) and she keeps saying the first 3 or 4 days will be the hardest and you'll feel crap, but after that you feel amazing - healthier, more energy and not hungry. We just have to get through...

You'll be fine! I'm only on day 2 but don't feel hungry (at the moment!) and the shakes are really nice :)

Thanks :) Did I read that you're starting on Sunday? Good luck!

Me too! Had burgers (no buns!) and loads of veg and salad, and ketchup! Oh god musn't start thinking about ketchup....

Hi guys! I'm was bit worried last night as my stomach was hurting a bit and felt pretty knackered and weak, but have woken up this morning feeling much better!! Feel great actually, except that I seem to have wrecked the tendons in my wrist... went kayaking last weekend (for some strange reason)...

It's so frustrating, I have loads of good outfit ideas out of clothes I've got, but try them on and look gross! Can't wait to put on what I want to :) I feel a bit dizzy now.... Gonna have my soup now I think!

This is another (slight less horrid) photo of me, with my annoyingly slim older sisters! (I'm far right, obv) This is the kind of black, baggy outfit I've been wearing for the last year. Boooo.

AH yeah that's the worst. That's how I've put on a stone and half in the last year... moved in with boyfriend and it's like "ooo let's get some ice cream" ... NOOO!

Oh dear.... now THAT'S embarrassing.... :/

Here's my photo a bit bigger... :-/ [/IMG]

I know!! I was concerned by how huge it was on the preview, but now it's gone too far the other way :) Day going alright. Had porridge around 10am then banana shake (which i really liked!) around 1pm. This afternoon has been the hardest, had a bit of a headache and I think bit of sugar...

Oh, well the photo didn't appear big at all! It did on the preview... that's a relief :)

Ah just tried again and it came up straight away! Complete with huge embarrassing photo.... oh well, it will remind me why I need to stick at it I guess! x

This is me last night, in my all-revealing jeans that didn't used to be so tight! Um, didn't really mean the photo to be quite so big :/ I've decided to do something about this extra layer of chubbiness I seem to have acquired recently. I went to see a Cambridge Weight Plan consultant last...

Ah thanks will give that a go! :)

Thanks!! I will keep going. Yes I've hardly done any work today because I've been reading this forum - oops!! I have created a new thread for my own diary, but that was this morning and it still hasn't shown up? Is that normal??

Hey, you've done so well! I'm 13stone and on day 1 today! Aiming for 11 stone so it's great to see someone that has done it. I'm currently having a mid-afternoon sugar craving but just keep thinking about chucking on my old jeans that don't fit at the moment :) I hope I can be as determined as...

Hi Aysha, I'm new on here but just wanted to say don't worry you've done amazingly and those 2lbs will be gone next week!! Sam X

Ah I think having it later in the morning was probably a good plan! Now I've had my shake on my lunchbreak, I'm a bit worried about going the WHOLE rest of the day until bedtime with only the soup.... :-/ I don't usually eat first thing in the morning, so maybe eating at lunchtime/after...

Hi Rachel! I'm on day 1 and had the apple and cinnamon porridge this morning. It is a weird texture isn't it? Kind of custard-y??! Weirdly I quite liked it though. Just having a banana shake now which is yummy! I'm 13stone and hoping to get to 11stone in 7 weeks. Prob a bit ambitious but worth a...

Hiya, I started a new thread to begin my own diary, but it hasn't appeared yet. How long does it usually take to appear? Just enjoying a banana bliss smoothie! It's lush! :D Thanks so much, Samantha
