Due to a number of factors (Husband nagging, wanting to be able to wear what I want, PCOS and trying for a baby). I thought I'd give the Cambridge Diet a go as a last ditch attempt to lose weight. I'd tried everything else and nothing had worked. I had a planned week off at the start of...

Anyone found a good way to stop kids from wanting to drink your tetras? My nieces are over and explaining that Auntie Stacey is on a diet is tricky because their mummy is bigger than me and they are bound to find a way to get me into trouble.

I didn't really get on with the soups or porridges but I love the tetra shakes. Everyone is different though, so it's worth trying a mix of things to start with to see what suits your taste. The first few days are the hardest, but just drink loads of water and know that it will be worth it...

5lb lighter this week :-)

Any joy?

I would definitely recommend the water flavourings. I wouldn't be able to manage to get the water requirement in if it wasn't for the berry one.

My sister stuck her list of reasons to lose weight on the fridge and food cupboards. I've restarted after a 10 day holiday. Today is day 3 and although I feel crap I am just sipping water and telling myself it will be better tomorrow. Water helps me a lot. I also find it better to keep busy...

Good luck for your weigh in later. :-)

Are you having the packet shakes or the tetras? I couldn't get on with the packets but I love the tetras because they are quick and easy and are always mixed properly. The only sachet one I really liked was the chocolate orange. Have you tried the bars, soups and porridges? I'm not a fan but...

Thanks for sharing, you look fantastic. Pics like this remind us why we are doing this x :-)

Day 1, starting back after a holiday. Can't say I'm looking forward to it but have to keep reminding myself that it will be better in a few days. Anyone else in the same boat?

Back from a week in Corfu and only gained a pound! :-)

My consultant has said that the average is about a stone a month, following the plan properly. There is no reason why you can't lose the 3 stone . :-)

I'd ask your consultant. I know you can get Cambridge Fibre powder to help and I think my consultant has mentioned Senokot (not sure of the spelling of that one)

I think I may have to fight you for it lol

How was your weigh in this morning?

Thanks :-) I was very happy with that result, particularly as I had a wedding last weekend. Looking forward to the next weigh in now.

I kept my bottles to reuse. That way I save the expense of the bottled water, but can still keep track of how much I am drinking.

4lb off this week :-)

How was the weigh in?

Have you tried the Cambridge fibre powder? You have a spoonful a day dissolved in something and it is supposed to help :-)

Congratulations! :-) that's great news. I get weighed on Wednesday. Last week was my first weigh in after starting and I dropped 6lb. I've had a wedding this weekend but I chose reasonably carefully so I'm hoping for another loss this week. :-)

So a stubborn contest then...? :-)

Whatever it is you have lost add it to last week and think how far you have come in two weeks. Think about it... Say you lost just 2lb in the last week, that is still a stone lost in a fortnight and a massive achievement! I'm sure you will have lost, but even at worst if you stayed the same for...

Well done!! :-)

I would love to be able to go clothes shopping without stressing out. I have PCOS so losing weight will help my chances of starting a family with my husband To fit into tiny jeans These are just a few...

I'm on day 3 doing Sole Source + and things seem to have got a little better but I am going on holiday in just under 3 weeks and don't know what to do. I want to enjoy the holiday but I don't want to gain weight on it either. What would you do?

Was there a time scale on this or am I now winning?

How much is too much? How much water is too much? I am on day 2 and have been drinking water to alleviate the hunger. I have drunk 4 litres of water today and was wondering if it was entirely safe.

I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago and have just started the Cambridge plan. Fingers crossed this works!
