Hiiiii! Am now 65kg and have five more kilos to lose @SummerChic the fb group has been so helpful and encouraging and filled with information. Am almost at goal now so I just need 4 more weeks to get there.

Thank you very much @SummerChic Here's an image of the group, do join it gives heaps of inspiration and support daily and trust me it beats minimins any day of the week as am always logged in on my fb thanks to the app.

Another weigh in yesterday and lost 2.5kilos! Been gymming daily and loving it. The body is finally getting in shape and am almost halfway on my journey. Cheated on my birthday with a piece of chicken but otherwise staying on track. Now weighing 74kilos so 14 kilos to go

Week 1 weigh in!!!!! 6kg/13lbs down Just had my first official weigh in since starting the sole source last Sunday. This is the first week I managed without any cheats! And seeing the results I will keep going to goal weight this time. I lost 6kilos!!!! Start weight: 82kg (12st 9) Goal weight...

Stats this far

@SummerChic hello there! I have not been gymming since I started sole source. But since I did a fair amount of weight lifting a good 6 months before the diet I think that helps a lot. Unfortunately I fell ill last night, after my third shake I got dizzy and nauseous and threw everything up. It...

Start of Day 6 So Last night i cleaned my house thoroughly and went into the bedroom and lit some scented candles, changed bedsheets, lit up my room humidifier with nice eucalyptus scents, laid out my most comfortable pyjamas and my new book on my kindle. Then i proceeded to mix up a batch of...

Cambridge Weightplan Day Five!!!! - Have I lasted this long? Last night was a toughie for me...was really tired but couldn't sleep when i went to bed. I had had all three shakes and 4 liters of water but my stomach was not having it at all!!! This would be a perfect time for me to scramble up...

@SummerChic you are no saddo for liking the plan and if you are then i will be a proud saddo to join you in liking the strict structure it gave me! You are superwoman doing what you are doing and caring for your family and keeping all those balls up in the air. I applaud you from one woman to...

@SummerChic indeed less friends is sometimes more. My life is less hectic which means looking over my own behaviour these days. How has your day been? Day 4 update: It's 6pm and the day has absolutely dragged on. I am in ketosis but I feel very tired. Met with my consultant and picked up my...

Hi @Kitoko, How are you getting on this week on the cambridge? I am also used to the Kg measurements and am on the tail end of my first week on SS. :)

@SummerChic I completely hear ya! Retraining the brain to eat right and to eat when hungry is essential because getting fat doesn't just happen overnight....i piled and piled on testing faith whilst thinking that i would walk it off the next day etc etc. My only saving grace is that i still...

Starting Day four! Felt a bit low upon waking up and stayed an extra half hour in bed watching morning tv. Last night before going to sleep i weighed myself even though i said i wouldnt and it showed 79kilos....this was at 10pm after my three shakes and 4 litres of water so i remained...

My first week both times I lost approximately 8lbs...but they say the less you have to lose aka bmi is lower than 30 the less losses you may see initially. As long as you are having 3 products daily you can pick from shakes and soups etc. I think the only food off limitsthe first few weeks are...

Day 3 on SS (started by doing SS+ for 3 days before switching to SS) My colleagues are in the kitchen having a break with coffee and biscuits so i decided to run to the pharmacy and get some Ketostix and test whether I am in Ketosis or not. Just did the test and YESSS am in Ketosis aka the fat...

I am currently in week 1 and TOTM started yesterday. Weighed in this morning and seem to have lost 2kilos. I think any weight gained during this time is water retention and its very important to keep going and not "just eat something", its demoralizing not losing but a big plus if you havent...

@SummerChic i was just having a moment of regret and wanted to remove it but I have decided to leave it up as it holds me accountable :) I am 168cm so I am only allowed 3 products a day....and am noticing that it isnt as fast as the last time i did the diet...ie there are more calories involved...

Wow! Your current loss is inspiring! And big congrats on your four week mark! I can't wait to get there too! Thank you for replying...I was looking for a way of deleting my post but couldn't find it am elated to have read your post and encouragement. Today has been good to be day 2 on some...

Have you tried the caffeine pills from super drugs? Since i cant drink my coffee black and currently very busy at work i got the caffeine pills from the drugstore and one pill is a little bit less than one cup of coffee but it keeps me going through the morning. In the afternoon i mix black...

This is me now.....I know it probably doesn't look big but trust me when I say that walking up two flights of stairs leaves me out of breath and sweating. Am embarrassed and thank god for makeup so I can leave the house.

Here are some images of my losses last time. I will post below my starting weight currently. I maybe forgot to add above as well that one of the biggest reason am looking to lose is because am a youtuber/public personality in Sweden and social media person :( which means my weight has been...

I just posted....had some views but no replies as yet:)

Hi all, After losing a whopping 27kilos (4st 25) in 2012 am back at it in 2017 with a start weight of 82kg trying to get down to 60kg. I miss doing the diet in the UK because the CDC offers support and weekly weigh ins....in Sweden you just meet them to pick up your packs and go do it...

I would like to buddy up!!! Restarted last week on friday by doin SS+ but since sunday i have been on sole source. Did the diet in 2012 with amazing results and now am back restarting at 80kg....not as bad as when i started in 2012 at 95kg though.

Hello! Still on it made it to day six then went to 810 for a few days but pushed through to 68kg which was good. How's it going for you?

Good Morning hun! Weighed in at 69kg and killed it at the photoshoot. Very happy :) Let kill it this week am going SS for 7 full days and have everything prepared thus far. The trick is to leave all my visa cards at home so my colleagues dont try and drag me off to lunch either. hihi Goals...

It is commendable that you were caring for your mom! and whilst binge eating during that time wasn't great I can relate totally. Losing the weight is a battle in its own then I see the gym as the cherry on top because with the serotonins coursing through your body its thoroughly enjoyable. I...

Wait... What happened? You have lost 9lbs in two weeks that is not letting yourself down even if the scales stayed the same this week! My weigh in is tomorrow but I may just go on my lunch break and do it.

Somedays that I used to workout or have a lunch meeting at work I will have my three shakes then eat a meal from the ss+ plan :) once I am in ketosis it makes little difference :)

I am rooting for you! I have 30 days of SS to reach my goal by end of October. I am determined to get it done so I can go back to maintenance and my favorite activities at the Gym :)

Thank you for the encouragement! I am chugging water like theres no tomorrow with a limit at 3 litres. the last leg of the journey is always the hardest :/ well done you! I cant imagine the determination you must have to have made it to week 15 but more power to you

Beginning my third week today! Back on the plan to lose the final two stones and get into a healthy BMI :) Made the mistake of working out all last week on sole source and whilst I've lost in inches the scales were only two pounds down :( Determined to complete this week on SS - SS+ and no...

I guessed as much as my clothes, bra, underwear are all much looser and my face is changing again. I think I just need to take it easy with the gym right now until I get higher on the plan. Right now am on ss and on ss+ on some days. Hey maybe this week will be my week :)

No movement on the scales this week! But I have lost in inches. I think I went wrong by working out five days a weeks cardio and my body went into starvation mode - not smart - I know. But as of yesterday I stopped. I will pause on the gym for now til I make my way up to 810kcal. Am really...

Hi Rach6288 Good Luck to you too! Let me know how your first weeks weigh in goes. Did you reach your goal weight back in 2012?

Congrarulations Lita! How are you getting on?

Hi Dawn, Restarting is one of the most demotivating challenges on this diets but...It definitely is doable. Yes you have lost time and yes you lapsed but do not get hung up on that fact. Its in the past, its over and done with and most importantly you are back here and ready to kick those...

Hi everyone, Re-started my Cambridge diet last week. I have been on this plan before, original weight 14st 1lb. Got down to 11st 9lb and gave up a year ago. I am now back again starting at 76kg (11.9lbs - size 10/12) with the final aim of getting down to 60kg (9st 4lb) which is my ideal...

The shin is harder to get in shape because the weight loss is so rapid. I started with Steel boned corsets to help with that during the day and at nighttime i moisturize bio oil and pure shea butter and it really has helped.

TLbanks you are my inspiration. Was also off the plan for a while but maintained the weight and now back on it. Week one day 2. i hope I can report similar losses to you in a few days. Folks told me that if you had a BMi of lower than 30 that Cambridge wont work as well.... you obviously...

Well Done!!! That is amazing. Keep it up and you will be goal weight soon enough!

The first 3 days are make or break .... and I broke. I am on day two today as I stopped and tried gymming for a few weeks. But all in all Cambridge is the way forward for me. Unfortunately I couldn´'t find the gelatine sheets here in Stockholm. But I have been dividing up one of my shakes into...

Thank you so much LizzRob! I was terrified at everyone telling me that I would gain back everything plus more when I stopped. I didn't go back to my habits before of junk food but i did think about portion control and stopped eating once I felt full instead of just keeping on. Thank you for the...

Welcome back! willbeathinpugmummy :) Guess we are on the same boat as returners.

Hi all, In August 2012 i was at my heaviest at 14st 1lb. I joined the Cambridge diet and went down to 11st 9lb in March 2013. I am now back again still at 11st 9lb (76kg) in a bid to go down to 9st 4lb (60kg). My 30th birthday is in exactly 30 days and I would be chuffed to go down to just...

Nazz, The thing is SS was good but with life happening and stressors I sometimes do the ss+ if I need to eat or else I get food obsessed. I can be on SS for three days then feel like eating so I will have a non carb (teeny) meal in the evening from SS+ menu, That tends to work for me. I have...

I started in july/august from 14st plus to 11 st 9lbs. With my knee injury I came off teh diet for a month and a half and gained 5lbs. Am now restarting at 12st this week :) x

Had another weigh in today and only 1 1/2 pounds off. An going up to sole source plus with a 200lcal meal in the evenings. Really dissapointed with myself but had two meals this weekend for my anniversary so should be expected. Hopefully going up one small step will help things. CDC and I set...

Thats exiting still Rawrgirl...because it will be a pleasant surprise. Problem with having scales available is that it can become obsesssive for some people like me :)

Hi all, Had my weigh in yesterday after taking a break from Alot has happened in between 1. I was taken up a step (2 shakes and 1 meal) as I was gymming nearly twice a day with my friends. This resulted in great toning results as we were mostly doing weights and body pump classes and spinning...

Marion, The strange thing is that I still feel like i have lost inches especially my belly and arms but the scales say no. I am hoping three weeks from now I will be stronger than I was this last week. But am taking it one day, one hour, one minute at a time.

* i meant 3lbs per week :break_diet:

Had my third week weigh in yesterday and only 1 pound lost. It was my birthday on Thursday the 19th so I indulged with my friends and it just didn’t stop from there. One meal led to another and another..... despite the fact that I was still having my shakes and working out at the gym. I think...

Hiya, You can get the coconut oil from Holland ana Barretts and it really does help. I use a mixture called hair mayonaise which has all the nutrients you need and really helops me out. You can buy it from any afro carobean shop. Leave it in damp hair for at least 30 mins before washing out...

I can relate to this, My OH decided it was a good idea top "treat" me to a night at the movies on Day two. Needless to say a can of whoopass was opened that evening. For no reason at all (considering it was such a sweet gesture), the moment i smelt the sweet popcorn I was a raging hormonal and...
