Good Morning everyone. I have done many diets in the past and they have all failed for me :mad:. I am now doing calorie counting and have a big event which I am working towards. I am cycling from Niagara Falls to New York which is 410 miles in September this year! I would love to be 5-6 stone...

Morning everyone, So I had me weigh in last night and I only lost 1 pound. No where near what I thought I would of lost. It doesn;t make any sense to me to be honest but oh well better that I lost something I supoose. Last time I did it I had lost so much more by this point.

MsFine - Everyone has slip ups so don't worry. The main thing is that you are back on it now and haven't let it take you away from the diet completely. You will be fine and you never know you might still get a loss tomorrow :) I had my second interview last week but I didn't get the job. It was...

alex - Well done on your loss, we have lost the same in 3 weeks :) I can really feel the difference with 1 stone gone now. My coat is getting to big for me so starting to look a little silly on me. It will be the last year I wear it anyway as next winter I will get a small size, fingers...

Also MsFine I am struggling to drink enough water.

MsFine - Thats a good loss, Well done. I had my 3rd weigh in last night and I lost 3 pounds so a total of 1 stone now in 3 weeks. Fairly happy with that although was hoping for more. But pleased to reach the 1 stone mark anyway.

The interview went well and I've been asked back for second interview Thursday ? I have my 3rd weigh in tomorrow so looking forward to a good loss hopefully. How are you all doing ?

Yes I am the same. I don't miss food just the being able to get what you want. This diet is fairly easy to get use to after the first few days. Its the keeping it off thats the hard part. I really would like to be at goal for xmas. :) Fingers Crossed

MsFine - Thank you for your pep talk lol it has made me feel better. I am quite nervous about it though as I feel like everyone is judging me on my size. Just can't wait for the weight tobe gone. I am so sick of feeling horrible and don't really know how I let this happen. Only 6 years ago I was...

Alex - All I have is the ready made banana ones. I tried a power one but it was so powdery its all I could taste so won't be having them again. I put my tetras in the fridge though as they are nicer cold. Day 17 for me today. Can not believe I have got this far. Feels like I am proper in it now...

Morning everyone, I had my weigh in last night and I lost 4 pounds. I was really hoping for more as my first week was not as much as I expected so thought it would show this week. I did already loose 6 pounds before I started Cambridge as was going to the gym and eating okish so my CD said I...

Well done ? so hard to get through social things but once you have it feels amazing. I feel quite empty today and could really eat something yummy! But I won't give in. Weekends are always the hardest for me though.

Hi everyone, good to see there are lots of us going through the same thing with this diet. I have been 100 percent this week and really looking forward to Monday to see what I have lost. Hope it's good as I was disappointed with my first weigh in. Hope you didn't cave in when you were out with...

Well done! :)

Hi Jobantz, Welcome to Cambridge :). When did you start? How much do you want to loose if you don't mind me asking. xx

Well done lerrhesunshine and Alex on your losses. Your doing really well. I can't wait for Monday to come round again to weigh in. Would be good to loose another 7 but I doubt it. My rings are starting to feel looser now as they were really tight and was close to getting them cut off. I feel in...

Hi, Well done for not caving in. Let us know how you get on with your weigh in today. Good Luck :)

I did about 3 and a half months last time and I lost near on 4 stone. Silly me putting it all back on. I will not do that this time though. I have completey forgotten my shakes today so I am at work at won't get home until about 6 so its going to be a long day with nothing at all :cry:.

Thanks Liz, you have cheered me up :). You are doing really well, bet your feeling amazing! xx

I had my weigh in last night and I lost 7 pounds. Am very happy although I was hoping for more as last time I did it I lost 11 pounds in my first week and I am starting heavier this time. I am due on so might have something to do with it. Still 7 pounds is a good loss anyway.

Thats a brillant loss!! Well done :) Feels good to get the first week under you belt

Well day 7 for me :). I have my weigh in tonight and really hoping for a good loss. Can not believe I have done the first week, feels so good! I have completely stuck to plan and not had any slip ups even when temptation has been in my way. I had a very busy weekend with football and house work...

Well done! So pleased to be nearly half way through my first week. I'm finding each day that passes it gets easier. Hope you have a good day today

Hi Teebee - You are similar to me in the weight to loose. Seems like a lot doesn't it but try and cut it down to smaller goals. My consultant said to work towards the mini goals of getting my BMI lower by 5 a time which is quite good. It can be hard looking at the finish line when it seems...

Alex - Amazing news that you have started. Well done. I only have the banana tetras as don't like the ones you have to make up, to powdery for me. I am doing well. I normally go for a drink at the pub when my son is at football on a Thursday but I have told her I can only have water, boring lol...

I did SS+ last time I did the diet and the losses were just as good as SS for me. Me and my hubbie have tomorrow off work so spending the day together but nothing food related. I am then babysitting for my sister in the evening so should be ok. Chicken breast and salad leaves will be fine to...

I am doing SS+. So I have about an extra 200 calories than you. 600ish total. I have done this diet before to and I lost 3 and a half stone last time. I am definately finiding it easier than before. Still got a long way to go though! You have made me crave costa hot chocolate now :). I...

I started on Tuesday, don't know why I put today haha. Day 3 :)

Hi, I have just started again today. I am on day 3. I would love to feel comfortable in the summer too. I hated last summer and just felt horrible and always kept jumpers on as did not want my arms on show when we were out anywhere so was always boiling. Could not stand another summer like that...

Morning everyone, I am now on day 3 and going strong. Feel smaller already haha. Hoping to be in the 17s at weigh in Monday which I am sure I will be as can't see me having less than a 4 pound loss in my first week. Think ketosis might be starting already as have that horrible taste in my mouth...

A pound is still a loss. MY CD said it isn't a good idea to excercise while on SS as its so low in calories that your body does not have enough energy to use. I had another good day yesterday. On to day 3 now :)

Great news! Let me know how you get on x

Kezzy - Thats a good idea to get motivated before you begin. I am the same I tried eating healthy and the gym but the weight loss was to slow. I love the fast results with Cambridge. I am planning to do Cambridge for a little while to shift the majority of my weight and then work up the steps...

Hi Kezzy, When did you start again? I see you had a 6 pound loss in your first week, well done :)

I completed day 1 :). I am now on day 2 and feeling good. I can't wait to go in to ketosis to get rid of the hunger but I hate the horrible taste in my mouth when in ketosis. I have a really bad cold which is annoying as its making these first few days on CD harder than they need to be. At the...

Well you have come such a long way that I am sure even when you are no longer on the CD you will feel different. Your stomach will be smaller so you won't feel hungry like before anyway. I can not wait until I have lost the weight. Day 2 for me now :).

Also you must feel soooo amazing loosing all that weight. Like a different person?

I was weighed last night and my starting weight is 18 stone 3 pounds which is the heaviest I have ever been. I did the diet over a year ago now and I did manage to loose over 3 stone so I know I can do. Just need to stick with it and maintain when I eventually loose the weight. Really hoping for...

Thats good news then. You have done so well. What was your starting weight? That is a really big loss you had in your first week. You must feel so amazing. I can only hope to do as good as you have done.

Hi, How long did it take you to loose all the weight in total so far? I have about 9 stone to loose and I am on day 1 so have a long way to go yet. Also how was your skin with loosing the weight? I am quite worried about having loose skin. You are doing amazing by the way!

I weigh in Monday evenings and saw consultnant last night. So I am on day 1 today. Did you start yesterday?

So I had my weigh in last night and I am currently 18stone 3pounds. I have so much to loose. Its about half of me. Had my first tetra this morning. I am at work so hoping the day goes quickly. I found last time I did it that the first 3-4 days were the hardest and then I got use to it and found...

Hi everyone, I am back for a 2nd time after putting all the weight I lost last time back on plus more. I have my weigh in tonight to see what I weigh which will be loads!! So motivated to do it this time and get all the way to goal. I am guessing I will have about 9 stone to loose to do this so...

thanks Tizzy, nice to have some support! I do not really know what has gone the last few weeks. I was so motivated before and it just went wrong. My mind is back in it now though and I can do it! x

So had a weigh in on Tuesday and I am back to 14stone :(. Not good at all !!!! So I have spoken to my consultant and I am thinking of this as stage 2 of my journey. I have been 100 percent since Tuesday and hoping for a good loss next Tuesday. I have still lost 2 stone 12 in total so I am no...

Been bad over xmas and didn't have a weigh in for 4 weeks, I put on weight but lost it again by my weigh in so it showed as 0.5lb loss which is still good and at least I am back on the diet 100 percent now! Really hoping to be in the 12s in the next 2 weeks so need to loose 6 pounds to achieve...

thanks tizzy! Unfotunatley I have been really bad this past week and put on 3lbs! I am very annoyed and disappointed with myself. My cconsultant made me feel better and said alot of people have blips which is sometimes what your body needs to carry on. She told me not to dwell on it and just...

I only lost 1lb at my weigh in on Tuesday which was not very much! I thought after just loosing 2 last week it would have been a better loss this week. Oh well just got to keep going and really hope for a better loss next week. I want to get in to the 12s so much for xmas as always been the goal...

good luck with your journey! This is a really good place to keep you motivted and stay on track. The diet is amazing and the weight dropping off keeps you motivated. I can't believe how much I have already lost in 11 weeks. It really is worth it.

I lost 3.5 pounds at my Wednesday weigh in. Very happy with that ! Only need to loose another 7 pounds to be in the 12s which I should definately do in the next 3 weeks as it was goal to be in the 12s for xmas so will be lovely if I manage it. This is my last week on sole source then I have to...

I had the best day today. I had my weigh in and lost 4.5 lbs!!!!! I have now lost 3 stone 2.5 pounds in 10 weeks and I am in the 13s! I literally can not believe it and I really am so happy. Such an amazing feeling and I can not believe how much heavier i was only 10 weeks ago.

Thanks greta! I have been suffering with what I think is heart palpitations the last few days and also dizziness, just wondered if anyone else has had this and if it's normal as I am a little worried x

I lost another 3 lbs this week, very happy! :)

Well done ! You just feel great !

That's really good you got in the dress! Well done

I know that I'm a bit worried about maintaining when I eventually get there! It's true what you say though about changing how we think about food and lifestyle change. I have to go up to step 2 in just over 3 weeks which I'm a little worried about as I'm really use to the diet now and I don't...

Hi Nikie, just wanted to say well done and you have done so well. You really are looking good and you have come along way since your before photos. I have been doing the diet just over 8 weeks and I have been following your diary since I started. You have been a real motivation for me so thank...

ahhh thanks Laura, your words have realy helped! hot bath and early night sounds good. I feel like I have come so far the last 3 weeks and know how much I would regret eating. This diet can be so easy sometimes and yet today it feels so hard. Just wish I could fast forward but I remember how I...

I am having a really down today and generally just feeling sorry for myself. I have done the diet for over 3 weeks now and today is the first time I have felt like this. I feel really low and all I want to do is order a pizza. Its such a horrible feeling. It doesn't help that I am not well...

Had my weigh in last night and lost 3lbs. I think I'm happy with that as that's as total of 19lbs in 3 weeks. Can't have big losses every week! Also I've been not well last few days. At least it's still a loss x

Thank you for the good luck. I'm nervous about tonights weigh in as I'm worried its not going to be very much but I suppose any loss is better than a gain. Well done on your loss Nikie, thats really good! You will be at your goal in no time. Wish I was your weight lol, i will get there one day x

Laura - well done on not having the chips or the carvery! Its hard but after you feel so much better that you didn't give in to temptation. It's horrible when people think they know everything about dieting and I can see why it's annoying you. I told my sister in law yesterday about being on...

I know what you mean, shopping is hard! I have just come back from tesco after doing a big shop for my husband and kids. Its so hard seeing everything and not being able to have it! I am also making a roast today so I will enjoy a shake while they eat lol. The weather is so depressing here...

I'm sure you will be able to loose 12 pounds in 3 weeks :-). I think its good to set myself goals as it gives me something to aim for rather than looking at the total I want to loose as it seems so much. I am trying to take one week at a time. I feel the days are starting to get quicker than...
