Hi All, sorry for being away for a while. Had a tough two weeks. My Dad sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer so it's been a bit hectic and emotional. However, I've stuck to plan (except a cup of tea with sugar!) My weight loss has really slowed down, my CDC thinks it's because...

Yeah!!!!! Well done Soph!!! How good does it feel? I am weighing in every day at home and losing 1lb a day at the moment. Official weigh in is on Wednesday morning. I feel great though! I feel really happy and alive! Can't wait to be slim :) I had a great weekend too, was very hungry both...

I make mine with 250ml of pretty much boiling water, I know you're not supposed to make it with boiling water but it does help with the powdery taste. I have just had the Oriental one for lunch (I was freeeeezing!) and it's really nice :) Soph, do you use facebook? I am on it more than here...

Good luck!!

Hi all, just posting to say have a really great weekend and don't fall off the rails! I'm dreading weekends, they are my worst time :( On another note, I have now tried two of the soups and they are lush! Chicken and mushroom, vegetable. Got the oriental one tonight - hoping it's just as...

Have you tried splitting your shake in 2? You can have half when you're not so hungry such as in the morning and save the other half for the afternoon when you get hungry? Or, split all of them and eat 6 times a day instead of 3?

Good luck, stick with it!!

Soph, I hate porridge so have not chosen that at all, I have some soup to try but I'm not the biggest fan of soup so I'm worried about it! My Consultant said I could add chilli to it and pepper to spice it up a bit. I just need something hot! I tried a chocolate shake hot and it was vile :S...

I started on Saturday, Sole Source so 3 products a day plus water. I was hungry the first couple of days but that has gone now (I think it goes when you are in ketosis) and now I struggle to have 3 shakes. I am looking forward to week 3 when I can have a CWP choc bar :) I had an awful...

I have a special wedding in June (21st) it's a gay wedding for two of my friends and my twin daughters (4) are going to be flower girls. There is a dress I want to buy but the biggest size they do is an 18.....so I have a similar goal. I also have my own wedding to prepare for which isn't...

I was told by my consultant that I could chew sugar free gum but to be careful as it could make me hungry. I'm confused now! Welcome Soph :)

just realised it's 4 days not 3 but still happy with my loss :) I'm on Cambridge Sole Source so 3 products a day and lots of water! I have the bad taste too - sugar free gum is helping :) Good luck and keep going!

Every time I used to feel the slightest bit hungry I would head for the fridge for something to nibble. Now I'm on CWP I tell myself that every time I feel hungry it's the Cambridge Monster in my tummy eating my fat.....it is actually working! ha ha.

Hi Girls - just weighed in....3 days officially (started Saturday) have lost 7lb!! I had the most awful headache yesterday though but fortunately today it's gone so let's hope there are no more! I'm not feeling particularly hungry but when my tummy rumbles I tell myself there is a monster in...

I started SS on Saturday morning and weighed in this morning and have lost 7lb. I am absolutely thrilled!!!

Wow, you look fab. I hope this isn't insulting but you look younger now than you did when you were 7st heavier! I don't know about losing 7st, you look like you have lost 7 years!! Well done! I'm only on day 4 SS with 10st to lose and this has really motivated me :)

Well I've started on Sole Source and on day 4 and not cheated once! Go me!! I have sneaked on the scales (actually I get on every day!!) and so far have lost 6lb. I am having my first official weigh in tomorrow morning and can't wait! I'm finding it ok but I'm so cold all of the time :( I...

lovely to meet you all, I don't actually come on here very often but will try! In the meantime if anyone would like to be friends on facebook, my name is Tia Bon :) Good luck everyone!

Thank you Liz, can I ask what your starting weight was? I can't wait to start!

well done! I'm starting SS on 22nd February with about 10st to lose! Good luck for next week :)

Hi guys I'm also starting in a couple of weeks (Saturday 22nd February) on SS. I have about 10st to lose......such a lot!! I'm hoping for around a stone a month :) Good luck, let's keep in touch! xxx

Deliberately chose this date as our kids will be at their grandma's for the weekend so I can be a grump and not have to deal with kids!!! Is anyone else starting and fancy buddying up? I need to lose about 10st so a very long way to go but small steps....

Hi Starlit_Cazza, I have just read through this entire thread and you are doing soooo well!!! I'm on week 3 of 810 (I had to start on that because my BMI was over 40) and I've lost about a stone (weigh in is on Tuesday morning). I'm struggling some days too, yesterday I felt like a drug...

Hi all, I have my second weigh in tomorrow but I'm so worried! I have been absolutely 100% every day (honestly) and so far this week I've lost 1lb :( Fingers crossed I lose weight overnight tonight or I will be so disappointed. Hope you are all getting on well??

My first weigh in and I've lost 10.5lb and 2" off my waist!! Happy :)

Well had my first weigh in, I've lost 10.5lb and 2" off my waist!! That's not bad!! :)

Hi, I just wanted to say hellooooo!! I'm on Step 2 and have my first weigh in tomorrow morning. I've been absolutely 100% since the beginning and already feel better in myself. I have a massive 8st to lose so I expect I'll be around for a while!! Good luck everyone x

Just wanted to say hello and see if anyone else is starting tomorrow? I have never done CWP before (or any other VLCD). Have around 8 stones to lose so a long way to go but I have a lovely consultant and I have a great feeling about this. The other stories and pictures on this forum are very...

Could you not have the Asda shakes and take a full multi-vitamin to make up the difference in nutrients?

I wish I was a size 8 in my clothes but would be more than happy with a comfy size 14! I'm 40 in October and dreading it. Been overweight all my life and every year I start a new diet (I know you've heard this one before!) So, where do I start? I'm no good at counting cals, fat, etc! I've...

Does anyone know of any whey powder / protein shake products which are virtually the same as Exante / LL / CD? Has anyone tried any and they have or haven't worked? Would be very interested to hear from you all :)

I'm a SAHM with very little money and twins to support. Can anyone recommend a VLCD which will give good, quick results (I have 7-8st to lose) and not cost the earth? Failing that, does anyone want to buy my twins :) just kidding!! teebeexxx

I'm almost 40, getting married in 18 months and a twin mummy. At 18st I'm the heaviest I've ever been and it's slowly creeping up!! Looking at starting a VLCD but have no idea which one.....my problem is financial rather than trying to make a decision!! Any suggestions would be gratefully...
