    yeah it sucks sometimes! but i'm afraid that if I stop I will be like oh one biscuit won't hurt...but then i'll end up eating them all haha! i'm thinking at the moment of maybe working my way up to the 1000 calorie plan and staying on that! but then again I may wake up in the morning full of...

    I am heading to costa del sol blodyn! :) So today was a bad day. I feel very close to giving up right now :( As I was saying before I went to a party this evening in my aunts house.

    My Cambridge Journey

    I have found the last 2 days very very tough.. I just wanted to scream at everyone I saw eating, no matter what they were eating. I knew it was too good to be true that I was over the difficult phase haha! but not one bit of food has touched my lips and I am feeling a bit better today but still...

    My Cambridge Journey

    Can't believe that I am on day 11 and feeling stronger than ever! I don't think I have ever stuck to a diet 100% for that long and I'm so proud of myself.. I'm staying with family this week and there is sooo much temptation up here but I have managed to resist! they all got a Chinese the first...

    My Cambridge Journey

    So i have gone to spend a week with some family and might not be able to come on this too much but I will try as much as possible! I had a five hour bus journey to get here and although I found it harder than usual with all the travelling, I managed to stay 100% on sole source and I'm feeling...

    My Cambridge Journey

    I'm going to Spain! i'm dreading it at the moment to be honest as my body is no where near ready for a bikini... but hopefully by then it will be as I have six weeks from today! Hope you are getting back into the swing of things after your holiday :) It's really hard to get back to reality! I...

    on day 10 and ruined it :( Cambridge diet

    Hi Tummy! Hope today went well for you?? A good thing to do would be to write down all the horrible feelings you have after a binge and then read over them when you feel the urge to do it again.. it might help. Also don't beat yourself up.. you need to remember that you had ten great days which...

  113. lucielou

    To tell the truth or not to tell the truth that is the question.

    I am in the very same situation as you! I have told family and one friend (who lives far away and I don't really see) but I am yet to tell any of the friends that I meet up with regularly or anyone in the uni course. Most of my friends don't even know what diets are because they are so tiny, and...
  114. lucielou

    My Cambridge Journey

    So day 6 was a success, way better than yesterday! I just got some unsupportive comments from a friend who failed on this plan herself. But although it angered me, it also makes me want to prove to everyone that it can be done! I had a banana shake for lunch - def my fave shake at the mo. Then...
  115. lucielou

    My Cambridge Journey

    yeah the mini goals is a great idea to read over when you are feeling unmotivated! So day 6 and I'm feeling ready to take on the world today.. so far anyway! I had the apple and cinnamon porridge this morning (which I surprisingly have come to really like!) I have literally been home all week...
  116. lucielou

    My Cambridge Journey

    Yeah that is a really great way of looking at it actually, i'll just try to do ss and if I really need it I'll have the protein and veg. Although I think if I know I'm allowed have it then I might not want it so much anymore haha! I am feeling much more determined again now again :D I'm just...
  117. lucielou

    My Cambridge Journey

    ugh I really want food right now :( I'm not even craving junk food I just want anything to stop this empty feeling!!!! oh i would kill for a chicken fillet and lettuce right now mmmmm... So far today I have eaten porridge and a strawberry shake, and I am just about to have tomato soup. I am...

I will have been on ss for 7 weeks by then anyway, so I'm...

I am going to Spain in 6 weeks myself but only for a week, and my CWC said that if I stick to the plan until then I...

    Excercise?

    Hey Fairy, my CWC said to do no exercise at all on ss for the first 2 weeks.. I'm finding that pretty hard because I'm usually quite active! after that, she said to exercise lightly but only things like power walking etc. She said it's because 1) we aren't eating enough carbs to be doing heavy...

    Did anyone stick to the plan on holidays???

    Hey people! Ok so I am going on holidays in 6 and half weeks for a week.. I am hoping to stay on sole source until then and then go back on it after my holidays. I'm not planning to stuff my face over there, but I will be eating out (prob with dessert) and drinking and I also don't want to be...
  127. lucielou

    My First Weigh In

    Hi Blue Moon, my consultant said not to use the flavourings for the first 2 weeks so maybe that is what is hindering your weight loss?? but then I am on sole source so maybe you are allowed them on 800.. I'm on day 4 too but too scared to weigh myself in case I'm disappointed! Best of luck today...
  128. lucielou

    Struggling to sleep?????

    omg thank god it is not just me!! I'm on day 4 today and have been buzzing and tired at the same time!! I hardly slept the night before last so was hoping that last night would be ok cos I was wrecked, but I couldn't go to sleep for hours and was wide awake at 6am.. hoping this is just my body...

  132. lucielou

    Enough is plenty :)

    Hi enough I am also just finished day 2 myself... hard to imagine that there is a whole 12 weeks to go but I suppose we didn't put on the weight over night so we can't expect it to disappear over night! I'm not finding it too hard but I've had a constant head ache but it says in the manual that...

    I just finished my second day on sole source. Found the first day difficult but today has been much better so hopefully it will be the same for you! My consultant suggested writing down my goals and to read over them when I'm feeling unmotivated so that might be something you could try :) Best...
