Hi, hoping someone can help me please as I only started WW on Monday. I am using the WW calculator on my iPhone but I think it's incorrect. What would 3 ryvita light crackerbread be with 1 tub of extra light Philly (35grams) and cucumber slices? Many thanks

Happy Monday all :) all was going amazing until I caved in and had a Chinese last night :( very disappointed in myself but sometimes you need that horrid feeling in your belly of disappointment to motivate you. If I can lose 5 stone why can't I lose this little extra? The great news is I've...

Hi maintainer, thank you for reading my diary :) I have been on a normal healthy balanced diet and the odd junk food since November and maintained 10.9 by exercise. Just completing my weight loss diet via the Dukan. I really don't know what to expect weight loss, hoping for at least 2lbs in my 3...

Hi all, Where to start?? Well...May 2012 my weight loss journey began, i weighed 15 stone 7.5 pounds!! I joined a local Rosemary Conley group and started attending a local bootcamp 3 times per week. i successfully lost 3 stone and then my weight loss came to a stand still. Gutted and frustrated...

I was advised not to do it daily but like you say it's better than reaching for non Cambridge food. I tend to buy 10 bars and 11 shakes. X

I've had 2 bars a day now and again and I've personally been fine. X

Just want to cry!!! Haven't felt so low in a long time. First time since may when I begun my weight loss journey...I binged, 3 days in a row. Why is this happening now :( I feel so disappointed in myself. Got weigh in tonight and dreading it. Prob back in the 11 stone mark. I am attempting a...

Thank you :) I'm made up. I know I should be feeling happy to be so close to goal weight but I'm so anxious. I'm doing the steps but I just worry for what the future holds. I think become so obsessed with my weight I could stay on this forever. Crazy I know. I'm going to aim for a few pound...

After being stepped up to sole source + last week by my CDC as I am near target weight I lost 2.5lb at weigh in tonight. I'm made up as I expected less due to feeling mega bloated. Still awaiting TOM so may be down to that or due to me now eating 1 meal A day. I have been told to up my veg...

I've just stepped up to SS plus last Thursday and nervous about my weigh in, feel bloated but may be down to TOM. Ive been doing similar recipes to yourself apart from salmon I have tuna. Don't give up and see what happens this week. I would feel depressed to after working so hard to lose...

Ignore the comments. I was warned by my CDC that friends can become jealous of your weight loss and try and sabotage it. I know it's not a nice thought and real friends shouldn't do it. But unfortunately I've noticed the same my end and I'm not in a healthy BMi at 10 st 12.5lbs. I refuse to be...

Hope your feeling better soon love x

Welcome :) I only joined myself last week and am on day 8 today. Defo trial and error with the supplements. I have completely ditched the soups this week and just sticking to shakes, found them vile. Hopefully should only take you 4 to 5 months. Good luck x

Good luck, you will have your baby in no time. I miscarried 4 times and January 2011 I gave up on trying for a baby as I couldn't go through the heart ache no more and I was already lucky enough to have my son. I was 14 stone, started Cambridge and was pregnant within 8 weeks and gave birth to a...

Awwww sorry to hear your feeling like this. keep strong, you can do it. Keep thinking of your goal weight and imagine yourself at that weight. Im only on day 6 of cd but have been dieting since may via rosemary Conley and have lost 3 stone. And I've had my low points and I'm sure I will have...

I've been using one since feb and it defo helps with inch loss and toning. The lady where I go measures my inches after every course. Each course is £20 for 16 ten minute sessions. Takes a bit of getting used to but if you have a go I'm sure you will like it. Keep me posted if you try it. Xx

Good morning all, hope everyone is well? Day 6 today. Well I woke up in a great mood this morning. Started my day with a non lumpy strawberry shake and black tea and I'm full, don't feel hungry one bit, my tummy was shouting at me all yesterday for food but of course I never gave in, yay...

Is it to late for me to join? Im only on day 5 of SS and have my first weigh in this Thursday evening. Xx

Hi kitty, just seen your weight loss on another thread and replied. So happy for you, that's amazing :clap: Ive been using a vibro plate at a local beauty salon. It's £20 for 16 courses of 10 mins. It defo works. I just googled one for you to have a read luv, Vibrostation Exercise Plate -...

Aww that's fabulous Kitty, well done to you. Hope your grinning from ear to ear with that wi xx

Good afternoon all, Day 5 nearly completed. Going vibrio plate tonight for 2 sessions as missing boot camp, vibrio is now my substitute. Feel tired today but putting that down to my teething baby who is not sleeping well which means mummy isn't either. Bless him. I wonder if I am in ketosis...

I'm only managing 5 pints of water maximum and the odd black tea :( Oh well will keep trying, I will not be defeated, lol! Hope your both well xx

Hi zombie, You have done so well so far and I'm positive you will reach your goal weight. Good luck and keep us posted on your journey. I hope you enjoyed your heat yoga xx

How do you know if your in ketosis, I haven't a clue? X

Hi Alison, Thank you. Awww did you, Dominic was due December 2nd and had him November 19th. My eldest Connor's birthday is 28th november. Hard work doing SS and running after a 9 month old isn't it!? No more testing food temp with my mouth, haha! Your doing amazing, I hope my first wi is as...

When I'm hungry I have a black tea to try and fill myself, it works :) Maybe try that and see if it helps with the hunger. I have read a few people suffer with headaches at some point in the first few weeks, I guess our bodies are wondering what on earth is going on, haha! Awww I can't handle...

I have used the vibrio plate regular along with boot camp and it's great for toning and weight loss. 10 minutes is equifalent to 45 mins straight in the gym. I obviously won't be doing boot camp for a while due to my wrist that's why I'm here but I will defo be doing the vibrio late. Shoud look...

Hi kitty, Im fab thanks. All going great so far. How's you? We sure will smash our targets, bring it on :) Can't wait to see 11 on them evil scales x

Yes I'm with you, defo more into the shakes. Got mostly soups left. As it was my first week thought I'd get a variety, next week just shakes I think. Loads of flavours which help. May even get 21 chocolate, lol! The porridge isn't the best, I only got the original, had it this morning. Xx

:) Thanks mini , hope your well x

That's great, helps when people notice as you feel it's all worth it. Im doing great thanks, day 4 nearly over and I expected to feel low and food withdrawals by now. Thankfully not. Loving the chocolate shake, yummy! I do hope the next few months go quick though as I want to reach target ...

Good afternoon ladies and gents, how are you all doing today? I'm actually doing better than expected, thought I may start to have food withdrawal symptoms today, day 4. Keeping up with my water intake but am not managing more than my 4 pints just yet, will keep trying to up it daily. I'm a bad...

That's fantastic scooby. Bet your over the moon with your first week. Well done xx

Good morning wannabe, Im going to buy a few of the ready made shakes this week, as lumpy shakes aren't going down to well even though the chic one I don't mind as it feels like I'm eating something, ha! I have the mango shake and coconut as consultant said they were popular, haven't tried...

Kitty, lol at the chippy comment! X

Fingers crossed we are all buzzing every weigh in. Bring out them black dresses this Christmas as I've been hiding under batwing maxi dresses for far to long now, ha! Xx

Thank you, my iPad wouldn't copy and paste kept shrinking the page, ha! Xx

2. Dwyer2010 - lose 1 stone (eek fingers crossed).

Thank you, day 4 for me tomorrow. First weigh in Thursday evening, nervous but excited. Will be 100% as I even felt guilty having a black tea yesterday after my CDC text me saying it was allowed I still felt I'd been naughty. Oh well got a 3 yr old and 9 mth old to chase after so a bit of a...

I started Thursday. Good luck and I'm sure you will be very pleased with your first weigh in after reading others weigh ins, some amazing losses. Xx

:)We all started the same week. Bring on the dropping pounds / stones!! Xx

Wow that's fantastic. Fingers crossed we all achieve such amazing results quickly. I'd be over the moon. I'm concerned my first week won't be a great loss though as 1) period, sorry tmi 2)already been losing weight since may but via different diet. I don't own scales and desperate to know if...

Im the same about the bars, unsure if it will sway me or not. May get one a week for treat purposes, ha! I need to get a blender as all my meals have been extremely lumpy, yummy! I started my diet in may by joining rosemary Conley and a local boot camp and started off at 15 st 7.5lbs. 3 stone...

Hi, I started the plan on Thursday 31st August so only just completed day 3. Going well so far fingers crossed I succeed. Yes I agree the porridge isn't the greatest. I love the chocolate shake though. May stick to shakes and bars as I ain't keen on the soup either. Thankfully there are a few...

Hi, how are you all getting on? I'm onlyon day 3 and all going well so far. May have no nails left by next weekend though, haha!! Enough I fell pregnant on the Cambridge weight plan last year and I think the weight loss is what helped me carry full term as I previously suffered 4 heartbreaking...

I believe it is tough returning once stopped for a few weeks. But you sound determined to follow through with cd, good on you :) I did do sole source feb and march 2011 and lost over a stone but I was pregnant and didn't have a clue until dizzy spells begun. Oooops! That's what I'm going to...

Hi Michelle, how are you finding the weight plan so far? Thank you, seems to be helping already knowing I'm not alone and the only one doing SS as it does feel like a punishment, lol! Nah, it's not that bad in all honesty, got my eyes on the prize (10 stone on them evil scales). Xx

Thank you. Made up to be over half way there now. Even though May wasn't that long ago it feels like I've been dieting for years, haha!! Have you been on the Cambridge weight plan long? How are you finding it? Xx

Good evening all. I have tried to update my biography but doesn't seemed to have saved. I am new to this site and think all the support and guidance on here is brilliant and positive. Well a little about myself. I'm Katie and 26 yrs. I gained weight just over 5 stone. The weight gain was from...
