Hi Could the mark be a stretch mark? I have some really thick ones down below which look a bit like my c section scar. Bio oil is worth a try as it stopped me from getting any more stretch marks, but if I'm totally honest my tummy looks worse when i've lost weight as it goes very baggy and...

Hi You cannot follow any of the plans whilst breastfeeding and you also need to wait 3 months after the birth if you are not breastfeeding so that your body has recovered from the pregnancy. I found that some weight does come off on its own after the birth so hopefully you will not have 7...

Hi Jacqui & Beverley I'm restarting tomorrow, I lost 5.5 stone with Cambridge just under 4 years ago and have been a counsellor for 1.5 years. I gained a little weight after reaching my goal but was happy around the 12 stone mark - size 14's but then I got pregnant and ate for England! I...

Hi Kazzy I have one of the slimming suits and they are really comfy on and pull you in in all the right places, I wear a pair of knicks over the top though, I couldn't ever go out crotchless! Helen

Hi The official Cambridge answer is water, black tea and black coffee and Cambridge water flavourings after 2 weeks but nothing else! However, some people have found that they can have the drinks mentioned in the threads without it affecting ketosis or giving them cravings etc. The choice...

Hi You can get a plastic shaker (from Lakeland or shops which sell body building protein shakes) which is quite good for mixing cold shakes - Warning though, hot shakes explode all over the place - I usually shake mine up cold and then warm in the microwaver for a minute or so! H x

Hi Could be ovulation pains, I notice that when SS I tend to get more painful OV pains. I do also find that I don't suffer any pains during TOTM though! Hope this helps. H x

Hi Cambridge advise their counsellors that they must issue the client with the Weight Care with Cambridge booklet and that they can charge the clients for it if they wish. I personally don't charge clients for it but usually on the first visit I give the pink Sole Source booklet and then...

Hi Thanks for the replies - Not sure about buying some new scales - mine go up to 23st 8lbs and I don't want to pay out £50 for the client to decide after a week that Cambridge is not for them. Plus I love my scales, really portable and easy to use. I will ask the client to go to boots for...

Hi Can anybody advise me what they do when a client weighs more than their scales go up to? Thanks H x

Hi Have you tried the Choc Mint hot - I think it tastes just like a Mint Chocolate Options. H x

Hi The Cambridge web site has a link to download the pink sole source book http://software.myetoolsonline.com/cambridge/articles/article.php?category_id=3 Hope it helps. H x

Hi Just a quick update. To be on the safe side, people with gluten allergies cannot have any of the soups or the tetras but are OK with the shakes and bars. The quick medical reference card does say that CD products are gluten free and when I mentioned this to Cambridge they said they would...

Hi Mike Too be honest I think my client would have given up CD even if she wasn't coeliac. She's convinced that she's still in starvation mode and not Ketosis because of the gluten content in the few soups I supplied her. I explained that this wouldn't affect Ketosis but she really wasn't...

Thanks Mike that explains it. Debz - I did try to persuade her to try some of the sweet flavours but I think she's made her mind up - she's really on the ball with her gluten allergy and is convinced she hasn't even gone into Ketosis because of this. I'm still going to speak to Cambridge...

Hi I'm a bit confused!@@! I have a client who has coeliac disease. She has to be really careful with everything that she eats and I advised her that all CD products are gluten free (as the medical conditions and medication sheet advises) She has just phoned me to say she won't be...

Hi The capuccino one is nice hot but I add an extra teaspoon of coffee and no sweetner (it is quite sweet anyway!) I also use a Vanilla with 2 teaspoons of coffee in the morning and its lovely - like a latte. I've always found with the hot shakes is that if you leave them for even a little...

Nikki - Home Bargains is my favourite shop, I can't believe the bargains I have got over the years. I'm forever buying toys for the kids to put away for birthdays/Christmas. Today along with my scales I got 2 Care Bears for my girls £1.50 each!! The only problem is I nip in there for...

I just had to tell everybody about my new scales. They are the type that measure body fat and water and cost just £8.99 from a shop called Home Bargains which has stores all over the north west / midlands. I've had a good play with them and it seems I am 25% fat and 56% water which says I'm...

Hi Fingersx How tall are you? some people who are near to 5ft 8 and lead an active life need 4 packs a day. Speak to your counsellor and see what he/she recommends. H x

Hi Helen I just followed Mike's how to for the crisps and hey presto they turned out great 1st time. I had the oriental chilli and they were fabarooney! Does anybody know if you can add chilli powder to the soup to make it more hot & spicy? Hx

Thanks for that Jude, I'm hoping it won't ever happen again, at least now I've got my starter pack with all flavours! Fireflies, I telephoned on Friday morning and wasn't given an order number - which is probably why they couldn't trace the order. Maybe they were really busy and took my...

Hi It turned out that Cambridge had no record of my order!! I felt a bit like they didn't believe I had ordered. They arranged for next day delivery before 9am and both of my new clients were very understanding. Hx

Hi Yes, I've been doing mine in the jug blender attachment, just be careful that the lid is on properly and only blend it a few seconds at a time. It comes out like a frothy cappuccino - lovely and creamy! Hx

Hi Unfortunately my sponsor lives quite a distance away and to call to see her involves a £3.60 toll and an hours round trip journey. I guess if it comes to it, I'll have to supply each client with a days worth and offer to drop off the rest when I receive my delivery. I'm not seeing one of...

Thanks I'll get onto Tyrone first thing. My appointments are after 12 so hopefully I will get it in time. I thought it was something to do with leaving it in the porch, but when placing the order Cambridge said it was OK. H x

Hi Thanks for that, I looked up the local depot number for ANC but they are closed - I'll get onto them first thing tomorrow morning - got another client coming tomorrow now, so fingers crossed I get my delivery. lLckily the local depot is only a couple of miles down the road, I wonder if...

Hi I should have received my first order today but it hasn't arrived!! When I placed the order I was told that they would leave it in my porch and I left a note too - the note hasn't moved since I left it. Is this common? There isn't any note to say they tried to deliver either. What can I...

Hi I see them all day - work for Mersey TV where we film Hollyoaks, Grange Hill and a few new ones starting soon!! H x

I would like a proper tomato soup flavour - I was really excited when the spicy tomato came out and was so dissapointed that I couldn't stomach even half of it!! Even if it tasted like a tomato slim a soup - that would be fine! I would also like a cheesy cracker type bar - to satisfy my cheese...

I would also recommend the Genie from TJ Hughes, I've bought one today and sat for over an hour working out all the bits and pieces, it looks exactly the same as the bullet but loads cheaper. I can't wait until the morning when I'm going to try a shake with ice added (everytime I've tried with...

Thanks for all the good luck messages. Loopy I attended my course last Thursday in Blackpool and submitted my accredition papers on Monday, I emailed them today just checking if they had received them and then I received a response back to say I had passed and I was given my counsellor number...

I can't believe it!! I was waiting for Cambridge to call me and emailed them just checking that my accrediation papers had arrived and I've just had a reply with my counsellor number and arrangements for my business pack to be sent out. I'm so excited, thought I'd share my news!! H x

Hi If you knew the name of the dress, maybe you could call around the stores, they are usually quite helpful in there. I've just been into the Liverpool Monsoon and they didn't have much in the way of dresses left - and what they did were all size 6 & 8's!! What does the dress look like? Hx

Hi If you can get both, why not buy them and whichever doesn't fit in time for the wedding sell on Ebay. Monsoon dresses sell really well. Hope this helps, I'm going to pop down to my local store to see if there is anything for a party in October! Hx

Hi Its me, I'm going on my course in 2 weeks so hopefully will be up and running in about a month. Whereabouts in Liverpool are you from, I'm from South Liverpool - Childwall. Helen x
