I did do the steps... I cant see it working without the steps to be honest. I started going up the steps about 1-1.5 stones off goal. And made it to goal on step 4. Im not entirely sure how long that took but id highly recommend the steps. Over all it took me 7 months to loose 7.5 stone. So keep...

Oh my days. Have people tried these banana pancakes that everyone is raving about... delish!! Ingredients - one banana and 2 eggs and some light! Mush up the banana really really well add to 2 beaten eggs and pop in the pan with couple fry light sprays. everyone should try :)

Not been on for a while but I just wanted everyone to know it can be done!! On the 21st may (next wednesday) I will have been maintaining my weight loss for one whole year. I wont lie its been tough at times but im so glad im done Cambridge. I still have takeaways and chocolate but all in...

Yep im still plodding away in my goal weight zone. Althought yesterday was my birthday so been a little... well a lot indulgant this weekend. 21st of May will mark a year since I got to goal weight. Keep going you'll get there too :) x

Welcome back my dear :)!! Lynne

Hi everyone. Just thought id check in. Im so rubbish at this diary business haha. So still managing to maintain. Currently a few lbs under goal but always good to have that leeway especially at this time of year when comfort food is all you want. But been maintaining for 6 months now... if I can...

Oh god hun your so right at the bottom there with food being the reality of all meals... even now I sometimes wish I could just go back to 3 shakes a day lol

Absolutely :)! I've always maintained that upping calories the closer you get to goal provides better results. Well done Ria :thumbup::)

Keep going ria so close to day 7!! And once your in the swing again you'll be at goal before you know it :)

So glad to have you back Ria :)!! Hope your holiday was amazing! You can do this. First weigh in wont be long, and results... amazing :)

Hey hun good to see you back. I know its easy for me to say being at goal and I hope you don't think I'm preaching but it never really clicked for me until I got to goal... I know that doesnt help you get to your goal but I was exactly the same... a complete beinge eater, always eating my...

Im still here :). How long you been back on it?

I have been doing spinning classes and noticed a real difference in my tummy area

Ive just finished a week of nights. My body completely rebelled. The body is the strangest thing. I managed a 2lbs loss... got a bit of a telling off from my consultant... I wasnt trying thought haha. Chin up think of your skinny holiday to see your lovely man :)

Keep at it ria your doing great :) *thumbsup*

I was the same refused to see any weight gain on the scales even if I did know I was from exercise. When I first started working out I could see the water retention in my legs. I appreciate I was probably the only one who could see it and it soon went again but I have been so disheartened if...

Im 24 and lost just shy of 7.5 stone. I have some loose skin on my arms but that was inevitable for me as my arms where huuuge and when I say huge I mean huge lol. Since reaching goal I have been doing gym and fitness classes and I can see a real change in my body in terms of toning up even juat...

You can have as many lemon as you like but only one a day of the others. So any bar plus 2 lemon is fine or 3 lemon... however you fancy really :)

My consultant always encouraged me not to exercise cause of the water retention you get from it, and I didnt want to see any gain at all on the scales. Ive been going to gym and fitness classes since moving onto higher steps, personally my weight loss slowed with the exercise but my body shape...

Riiiaaaa where are yooouuuu?

Hey hun just reading threw what you've said above... think back to when you first started, your body never rebelled like this... okay maybe for the first few days until ketosis had set in but after that there were no weak motionless days. I know you like SS cause it will get you results quicker...

Hey hun, im doing okay... currently on night shift and its taking all my will power not to stuff my face haha. Im technically finished now but I still have 1 shake mixed with yogurt for breakfast... cause I love it so much :). Now using my fitness pal to maintain. Currently 4lbs under goal :D...

Have a good night hun. I feel ravenous tonight and I have no idea why. Start nights tomorrow... don't know how ill manage the first day, wont sleep much tomorrow so will be awake for probably 20 hours... thats a lot of eating time :(.

Been a little naughty the last couple of days... my brother, sister in law and neice have been here visiting from home so had a few meals out and things. Has been lovely. Must say missing the gym though can't wait to get back to spinning tonight :). Back to normal on the eating front. Think...

I definitely wouldnt have managed the exercise im doing now when I was bigger. Not quite got the hang of the calories yet... still plodding on at a .5 loss for the last 3 or 4 weeks putting me 4lbs under goal. Its hard to try and eat more when Ive spent so long trying to stay away from carbs and...

I absolutely loooove the exercise... never in my life thought id be saying that. Get such a buzz from it and so good for mental health. Done spinning this morning before work...makes for such a good day :).

Its good, although im struggling to get the calories up lol spent so long trying not to eat now its strange upping the intake. Last 2 weels ive lost 0.5lbs so need to get them up. Suppose its just trail and error with the exercise and eating will take me a while to work out what my body needs...

Thats what I keep telling myself haha. Spinning is amazing though. If anyone is keen for exercise id highly recommend it. How is everyone getting on?

Rescue remedy definitly got me threw my driving test!! Oh ladies Ive went a little gym mad... I ache so bad today I don't even want to get out of bed lol. However I hsd a personal training session yesterday morning and she told me some pretty valuable information about reintroducing food and...

I mixed chocolate and vanilla today... tasted like milky way yuuuuuumm

Got such a buzz for spinning classes. Just been to my second one this morning. Definitely recommend them ladies. Although no way id have managed them any step below 4.

Oh pizza... id love some pizza! I think its so rude of dominos to text me every tuesday with there 2 for tues offers hahah. Im still struggling to eat all my calories on step 5. Spent all this time trying to stay away from calories now im struggling to find them. I know I shouldnt be moaning...

Ive always found that strange about the lemon. When I tried lighter life leomon way out of bounds completely. Funny how the 2 VLCD can be so different

Haha I love that picture very true. Yeeeey for ketosis. And you can get a good loss in between now and the 18th. ...I have heartburn, ive never had heartburn since starting cambridge. Im going to blame the gym... only thing ive done different today hehe

Well I've been on 1200 kcal a day for some some weeks now and have been steadily loosing weight so I definitely need more than that to maintain. I'm really starting to tire of all the unknowing. I hate the trial and error if I have too much I gain I then need to drop to loose again then try...

Its definitely frustrating when it slows in the end phase. I ended up having lunch out today, had to go to london for work and I felt mean not enjoying lunch with colleague I was with. I know my conaultant will argue it wouldn't have been mean but thats how I felt. Had a curry... was...

Absolutely, id actually pick that over some puddings. Oooh id love that right now. Yuuum. I have it for breakfast. Very filling. What flavour did you mix in?

Oh according to that I can have 1721.25 a day... I like that better. Im feeling all worried about all this again. I guess its just trial and error but I don't want anymore trial and error phases I just want to eat hahah. I guess (against my CDC advice) ill make up my own steps and increase the...

Well... I was meant to move up to step 5 this week. Following some research and a discussion with the fitness guy at work I have discovered for me to maintain my weight, for my height, current weight and age I should be having no more than 1392.4 calories a day waaaaaaay off the recommended...

Took me 36 weeks to loose the six stone. Keep faith with the diet it really does fall off :). I was the same I never really had a goal weight either just stopped when I was happy with how I looked. I'm going to join the gym today. It might also interest you to know I lost that 6 stone with not...

Yeah hun its been reassuring for me knowing if I do gain a little I can get it back off. And im very impressed with 6.5lbs in 2 weeks on step 4... I love step 4. My CDC said I should move up to step 5 tomorrow but im going to be naughty and stay on step 4 one more week haha. Hope your coming...

Its an easy thing for me to say but ive been in your position and the best thing I can say is just have faith in the steps it wasnt until I got to step 4 that something clicked in my head and suddenly the possibility of maintaining made sense. I definitely recommend dragging the steps out as...

Im on step 4 but cant you have yoghurt or milk on ss+ I cant remember

Good news ladies... it is possible! So I returned from holiday 2 weeks ago today, gained 6.5lbs. Lost 4lbs last week and 2.5lbs tonight so I have my holiday weight off all on step 4 all in 2 weeks. Makes me feel so much better knowing I can loose small weight/holiday gains on step 4. Just...

Depending what step your on 35g choc and 5g banana mixed with yogurt is ammmmazzzing, and super filling. I have it for breakfast every morning lol Lynne - starting weight 16st 4lbs current weight 9st 6.5lbs all in 35 weeks

Im now on step 4 been maintaining/small losses for some weeks now. That's why they have the steps. Ive been adding food in sucessfully and the steps have taught me so much about how to maintain so have faith. People fail as they dont follow the plan often people think the plan is just the shake...

Aww thank you so much :). Well done you sounds like your there too :D:D. I think ive just posted on your diary

I looove choc-yog for breakky... I have it every morning... very filling. Im going to miss my second product when I move up to step 5 :(

Here I am :)!! Im on step 4 now and its great, I honestly feel im having enough food to sustain me daily and really really dont want to move up to step 5. But the steps are well worth working threw and have taught me loads. I also gained 6.5lbs on a recent 2 week holiday and got 4lbs off the...

Moved up to step 2 at 10 stone 8lbs. Step 3 at 9 stone 8lbs Step 4 at 9 stone 5.5lbs Maybe step 5 on Tuesday but I feel like I want to stay on step 4 for a bit longer cause I feel stretching them out is helping me stay in control and learn about what I need which is why I wish I'd started...

Nice advice :). Sometimes you definitely have to take a step back and look at thing's differently

Okay, Ria I found my card... Here we go from the top. I hope this is helpful to you lol. SS... 23/10/2012 8.5lbs off 30/10/2012 4.4lbs off 13/11/2012 6.5lbs off (2 week weigh in) 27/11/2012 8lbs off (2 week weigh in) 04/12/2012 1.5lbs off 11/12/2012 5lbs off 19/12/2012 2lbs off 08/01/2013...

One week to get 4lbs of my holiday gain off (on step 4) and ill know on tues if I've got the rest off. But actually I was under goal so the 4lbs put me back at goal but ideally I'd like another 3.5lbs off. So according to my cards (can only find my newest one) I was on step 2 09/04/2013 so...

How are you finding it hun

Fnaaaallllly... I am a decent bra size.went from a GG to a D :). Finally I can have nice bras and not just any old ones cause that's all they had in my size. Soooo... Been on holiday 1 all inclusive week in Turkey and the week after in Scotland. Gained 6.5lbs... I'm okay with is although I...

I gained 6.5lbs on holiday went back onto step 4 when I got back and lost 4lbs so you'll definitely get the off quickly,try not to stress about it too much. As crazy diamond said its water retention from new carbs

It was after a 2 week holiday so was kinda like a week one loss all over again but as I was on step 4 I was pretty impressed with myself too lol. Happy that I know I can go on holiday and get any weight gain off quickly but boy did I feel that 6.5lbs gain on holiday... I was so uncomfortable it...

Since doing cambridge I now love mushrooms and onions... strange cause I wouldnt even eat anything that had touched an onion before. And oh ria... I have just had a chocolate/banana shake mixed with yogurt... amazing!! Thank you for introducing this to us all :). I had 35g choc and 5g banana but...

4lbs off :) so thats me back at goal... phew!!

Im finding it more expensive. It definitely isn't cheap to eat healthily but I wont let myself use that as an excuse not to maintain... I've worked too hard to let this weight come back

Ria how are you getting on lovely?

Okay so been at goal for a month or so now juat returned from a 2 week holiday and gained 6.5lbs... im okay with this, I didnt go away with a 'oh im on holiday I can have what I want attitude' but I am okay with holiday weight gain. However what is scary is imagine I did have that attitute... im...

I go home tomorrow and have to admit im desperate for a shake... its my normal no lol. I must thank you for introducing me me to shakes mixed with yoghurt... oh yuuuuum!! Found myself wishing I had some on holiday haha I love them. Even though I've not particularly enjoyed eating im sure getting...

Ria dont be too hard on yourself and jump straight back on tomorrow you've done amazing so far. Im on holiday now and so stressed about food. Right now I hate cambridge diet, it has helped me so much when I needed to loose weight but now im trying to maintain I feel id be better at slimming...

So ive said it before and ill say it again... im rubbish at keeping this up todate!! Anyways im still on step 4, have been for 2 weeks. First weigh in since starting step 4 last night as I was working last week. Result, 2lbs ON...IM FURIOUS haha not with anyone but ive not had over 1300kcal a...

You'd only be able to do this with the tetras as powder shakes need to be consumed within 15 mins :)

The trick with the moose is to put your water in the freezer for 20-30 mins before you make the moose. Mix the mix a moose powder in the packet with your chosen shake, make sure you mix it up good with a spoon and not just shaking the packet. Then put the freezing cold water in your shaker... I...

If you have a smart phone id recommend the my fitness pal app... im on a dofferent diet but reached goal a few weeks ago and this apl has been a god send. Helps me track my calories and plan ahead... hope it helps :)

2nd july... I fly out to Turkey that day :)

You'll definitely get it off with a weeks ss I done step 3 on return and still managed to loose 6lbs so you'll be good :).

Oh my, step 4... amazing. I'm finally beginning to understand how I'm going to maintain this weight loss. Ive been panicking about my holiday in 3 weeks but I think ill manage okay. If you dont already have it I strongly recommend the my fitness pal app. So today has gone like this... so far...

Amazing hun... whats your goal weight? I started step 4 today and it's like a light has switched in my head and suddenly I think I might understand a little about managing maintenence, phew lol. The same thing that happened to me is happening to you... I was 7.5lbs away from goal post holiday...

Initially no as I worked in a secure forensic hospital and we had to take breaks off the ward but in the end I did. You'll alwaya come up against people who will try and tell you how unhealthy it is and that its very bad for you but I simply said either fake support me or dont say anything...

Okay so still had a 2lbs loss tonight *thumbs up*. I am at goal but nice to get a little extra off to make room for naughty times haha. So step 4 for me as of tomorrow... have been looking forward to this step. Hope everyone else is having a fab week and ilk check in tomorrow with step 4 day one...

I meant to say im also a nurse and I have manage fine so I'm sure you'll be good. Although I have found myself mixing them up in the toilets before haha

Unfortunately you have to have your shake within 15 minutes of making it. The tetra's that they do (ready made shakes in cartons) could however be left in the fridge and drunk at leisure. There isn't such a variety of these though and I can't advise on how they taste as I've never had them but...

Of course you can jump in :). So ive not had a good week... to cut a long story short I had an asshole of a landlord and ended up homeless haha. So currently staying with a friend. I was due to move up to step 4 this week but with everything that was going on ive stayed on step 3. Was naughty...

So im pretty mad. All week my step 3 meals days have been putting me around 1200ckal step 3 is meant to be 1000kcal. Ive stuck to it by the letter, maybe 1 extra apple here and there but I still managed to stay the same. Whats bothering me isnt the fact that I didn't loose cause im at goal but...

So came across my 'fat photo' so thought id make another before and after! Cant believe that was ever me :o

To begin with I was litrally only eating eggs lettuce broccoli and tuna cause I was petrified of cooking meat haha bur gotten over my fear now. But when I first moved up to step 2 I prefered to have scrambled eggs for breakfast around 8 a bar at 12, shake at 4 and a moose at 8. I picked on...

Apologies for my lack of contact... moved house and only got the internet working tonight!! Things have been good... until today. Ive been really stressed and ate my feelings today lol. To be fair ive not been too bad only had things im allowed but didn't weigh my mushrooms or chicken or...

Your holiday has came at the best time hun... thats what happened for me I was 7.5lbs off goal went on holiday (unsure of holiday gain as I wasnt weighed on return) but them bam I had another step 1 week loss after getting back on it... which I was surprised at actually. But that then meant I...

I know right and what annoys me more is people like that would have probably slagged me off behind my back for being fat before... no pleasing some folk!

I came up against exactly the same from some people at work. Id be sitting next to a girl who is like a size 6-8 and im getting told off for going 'too far'. Yeah hold on mate im litrally just into a healthy bmi and this girl beside me probably is too slim but your not having a go at her. I...

First step 3 weigh in tonight and I'm pleasantly surprised to report a 1.5lbs loss putting me 1lbs under my goal weight of 9 stone 6.5lbs!! Been eating a lot of quorn recently, mainly because you get so much and I can split it between lunch and evening meal. Im going to stay on step 3 another...

Okay so ive just had my tea and I have stomach pains ive eaten so much quorn haha. When will I learn I don't even enjoy being this full! Also hun I wanted to let you know after my first step 3 week I still lost 1.5lbs tonight... I definitely think you should move up a step fully :)! I must look...

Thats a beautiful dress and your looking very slim.... look at you all slim and stuff :). Keep it up lovely x

Today I am not liking step 3... I feel bloated and like ive piled on the lbs but ive stuck to it 100% well okay I might have went a teensy little but over my milk allowance... so shoot me! I think it's the added carbs... scary times. I hope dont see much water weight on the scales... I am...

I know it's a naughty thing to say but sometimes if weight loss stalls it is good to have a day off and shock it back into action. Your so good at making sure your straight back on it the next day so why not? Might be something to think about. Ive been thinking about yogurt ever since you...

Oh god I can imagine. I was actually fairly mad earlier thinking 'imagine encouraging us to eat that much' but ive calmed now haha. I got some quorn chicken pieces for tomorrow but will definitely be splitting it between lunch and tea. Im too full this evening. Im totally missing milk on step...

I am loving step 3 mainly because I love fruit and now and can reintroduce it :). And museli is one of my favs too #thumbsup# however definitely seeing some water weight on the scales AND I am freaking out about the amount of quorn mince I have just measured out for tea... 275g is loads...

Is it just me or do you get a ridiculously large amount of quorn 275g what the hell!! Thats looooads I'm totally freaking out hahah

Oh no ria... step 3 is wonderful, all this fruit is glorious. Scales are showing some water retention though :( never mind it'll come back off x

So I have just realised this is the start of week 32... Ive not had a bar of chocolate/bag of crisps/biscuit or anything like that for 31 weeks...crazy. only one bonofy pie and a cake at a very special cake shop when on holiday at home a few weeks ago. Its crazy how much this diet changes your...

Okay so day one is going well. Feeling so much better today, my body was definitely telling me it was time to move up a step! I'm really worried about water retention this week but what will be will be, it'll come off again! So today has consisted of; Breakfast - mint chocolate mix a moose...

Okay.. day 1 of step 3!! I'm excited but nervous about starting to introduce more carbs... mint chocolate mix a moose and strawberries this morning for breakfast... yuuum!! Oh everything tastes so fantastic after months of shakes...think ill miss my 3rd product though but onwards and upwards...

Okay so I lost 1lbs last night but im happy with that I'm 9 stone 7lbs now so dont expect to see 4lbs a week anymore. Annoying though cause that puts me a meesly 0.5lbs off goal sooo I'm happy to move upto step 3 as I'll get the 0.5lbs off on the that step. I feel so much better already my body...

Hey hun, ive been so rubbish at my diary haha but I start step 3 on wednesday so will update daily then. Last tuesday I weighed in at 9 stone 8lbs. My losses on step 2 have averaged about 2lbs - 2.5lbs which was scary to start with as they had slowed considerably but I kinda figured I maybe...

Hehe possibly not... its been a problem for a few weeks now, hoping when I start introducing new foods again things will get better. I know what you mean about the chicken being expensive... im pretty concerned about the steps and the financial aspect however ill look at it as a financial...

Boredom was definitely one of my problems!! Now that im having my meal at tea time is im finding im still hungry although its not hunger its a want for my last chocolate shake or moose of the day. I used to manage to keep this until 8pm but tonight I didnt manage muvh past 6! And I was terribly...

Eeek yes it is very exciting but still very hard to believe haha. However im only just starting to become adventurous with food like before I was litrally just eating eggs, broccoli, tuna and lettuce but now im having most things off the list so a little worried about water retention this week...

Who can tell me what a decent time is to be able to run 5k?

Some days water just isnt that appealing huh? Also some days I just feel like I am waiting for the minutes to pass until my next product... today is one of those days!! How'd you manage with the water in the end? This is going to sound so silly but I cant for the life of me find tofu in the...

I think your right, because it happens so fast your brain must think whooowa whats going on here. And from past experiences my brain must have been thinking awch she'll put it all back on soon... she always does!! Ha ha oh no no no no not this time brain... the weight is gone for good. Today at...

Aww week 3 is well known for a small loss. I know its hard not to feel disheartened. Next week you should see a bigger one again :)

Just wondering if anyone has this and if so how much does it cost and do you use it?

Unfortunately I didn't keep a diary through out my loss but wishing I had done. Thank you so much I feel amazing but must say it definitely took my brain longer to loose the weight than it took my body for ages i was still picking up bigger sizes and found it very hard to believe was an 8 - 10...

You are doing fantastic, keep up the good work!! First 4 days for me wernt good however I woke on day 5 feeling a new woman... sounds extreme but its true lol and ive never looked back. 30 weeks later here I am 6 stone 10lbs lighter and 1.5lbs off goal. You sound like you have planned well...

Okay so... I have been doing some proper research into step 3, made myself a food plan for a week starting next week and a shopping list which I can go and buy after weigh in next Tuesday. I firmly believe the key to the steps is planning ahead and I've definitely done that lol. I plan to stay...

Aww thank you hun, im glad its inspirational and not boring blabber or moaning... but some of it is definitely moaning haha

So, I weighed in tonight... 6lbs off, cant quite believe I'm saying that at this stage. So I'm 1.5lbs off my goal of 9 stone 6.5lbs and at my biggest I was 16 stone 4lbs. This is (probably) my last week on step 2... I say probably as im petrified of moving up the steps haha but I'm finally a...

Snap steamed broccoli is my favourite too. Curently steaming is chicken, prawns... both marinated in spices and some mushrooms and will plonk some picked cabbage on there too. Excited haha x

Thanks hun... I was not expecting that at all. But thats what my home scales said too so at least there the same. Step 3 after weigh in next week...eeeek scared haha

Looks lovely. Im having prawns and chicken tonight after my weigh in. Very excited. Up until now I have been very boring and mostly having eggs for my step 2 meal but since the purchase of the steamer im all about the variety haha

It definitely gets harder thats for sure. I have an official weigh in tomorrow night so will see how accurate my home scales are lol. I am now averaging 2-2.5lbs a week but im petfectly happy with that as im on step 2 and now in the 9 stones eeeek never in my life thought id be saying that...

Oh hun im so close to goal 5lbs ish... I say ish cause I have been weighing on my home scales for a few weeks as I have been on holiday and so has my consultant but I am so scared about moving up the steps and maintenance. However in saying that I feel ready for step 3 dizzy spells are becoming...

Hi Nazz You can definitely do this. The worst part is definitely the mind games your body plays on you and not necessarily the hunger you feel in the first few days. What helps me is once your in ketosis its definitely not worth bringing yourself out to have to go threw it again. So if I feel...

When you say an 810 cal meal you mean 200 cal right?

I purchased a food steamer today... best thing ever. Just had chillied chicken, mushrooms and courgette and it was beautiful!! First time I have had chicken since doing step 2 and boy do you get a lot. Feeling very full and satisfied now :)

Your friend is probably more likely to loose slower only having 2 packs. She is also leaving herself even more vulnerable to the sode effect such as hair loss. As for your scales. My home ones change on a daily basis. Its because we dont have our personal scales calibrated unlike cdc. So dont be...

Hey hun, you should try deleting your cookies... price does go up if the website detects numerous interest from the same source. Might work. Has worked for me on train tickets in the past :)

Hi everyone just wondering how you all cook your mushrooms? Been in step 2 for a while now and only just realised I havent had mushrooms haha but then remembered I would have always fried them in the past...no no no not now lol

Im 5ish lbs off goal (been having to weigh on my hone scales as consultant is on holiday) and think ill move up to step 3 after this next weigh in. Ive been on step 2 for about 10 weeks. Ive heard the longer you can stretch out the steps the better. Not sure if there is any truth in this though...

No definitely add it in :). Great for confidence and self motivation. Well done you!!

They sound very yummy. All I have is mango, choc and mint choc... I dont like the other shakes but maybe I would as a moose. Have a few spare packs floating around with being on holiday so they could be my back up. Oh how exciting haha

So my weigh in was not an official weigh in as my consultant is on holiday but my scales say 2lbs off... after a week on holiday id say thats a result :). If my scales are correct I am only 5.5lbs off my target of 9 stone 6.5. Hope your all having a good week :) Starlit_Cazza 14lb (3lb off...

Hey hun well done in that loss... thats fantastic!! So im back from my holiday. No idea what damage I might have caused... been on 3 different sets of scales and they all say different things. So have to wait for official weigh in next Tuesday... consultant is on holiday this week. This is...

On my last weigh in I was exactly 10 stone (cant wait to see the 9's) my losses on step 2 have settled at 2-3lbs a week but I fully expected them to slow closer to goal. I think if your hungry then throw in some ss+. I was always scared that if I didnt allow myself a step 2 meal when I was...

Dont be so hard on yourself regarding doing step 2 hun my losses actually improved again after moving up to step 2. This might be your bodies way of telling you its struggling and needs more and if that is the case losses probably will slow as your body will worry it isnt getting enough. I like...

When my weight loss started to slow I added in a few more calories with the mix a moose and 200 kcal meal and my losses boosted again but previous to thag I wws having 2 shakes and a bar a day and my losses were the same. (Bars also help prevent constipation lol) always a bonus on this diet

My cdc told me that if I was going to miss anything then it should be the meal as the shakes are more important as the meal isnt substantial enough to give you what you need but hey im no expert so try it out and see what happens. I know as well that you can retain water the first week moving up...

I done ss for the first 12 weeks then had my 810 week, I got used to having milk in my tea so moved upto ss+ on week 14, stayed on this until about week 20 and I moved onto step 2 as I was starting to feel hungrier. Losses boosted initially on step 2 then have settled around 2lbs a week which im...

I only have 7.5lbs until goal so probably once I reach that. I was the same as you I was starting to feel hungrier and it was definitely my body telling me to add more. Let me know how you get on at your first 810 weigh in, for now im off for a mix a moose :)

Yeah I lost 2lbs the first week and 3lbs the next. I was convinced id put on though the first week. I think its all mental and just cause I was eating something I felt totally out of control lol but it was all good. I also found it really helpful with regards to understanding how I was going to...

My losses started to slow on SS, once I went up to step 2 they got bigger again (this was 21lbs off goal) I'm now 7.5lbs off goal, still on step 2 and they have started slowing again 1.5lbs -2lbs a week. However I was thinking that these are actually really good losses were just so used to...

I also meant to say try the mix a moose... also tres amazing :)

Hey :) my consultant charges an extra 20p for the bars. So worth it though haha. I know it does vary from constant to consultant and some charge a flat rate for all products. At £40 yours sounds pretty good

I go back on the 26th. Cant wait I've not seen anyone since august and im very home sick. Sure after one day ill be dying to leave again though haha

Hi I dont know how much help I'll be as im only on step 2 but I think your body will tell you when its the right time to move up. When I first started I was determined to stay on ss until goal however moved upto step 2 when I was 21lbs off goal as I was starting to get hungrier and felt the time...

Hey lostpolarbear my losses actually improved when I moved onto step 2, appaently when you get nearer a healthy bmi your body worries about not getting enough... not sure if there is any scientific fact in it though. Give it a go and if it doesnt work you can move back down a step. Be careful...

I get weighed tomorrow night but have been on nightshift and my consultant said you can retain water on nights so we'll see. Ive hardly slept too which probably doesnt help but never mind got to work haha. Why do they want you on step 3? Im scared of step 3 any step abive 2 infact feels like a...

Another photo... I am going home to scotland soon, have a night out planned and this is my outfit. No one knows ive lost weight (excuse my messy hair)

You look fantastic. I'm 9lbs off goal and it's so motivating to know you can keep it off. I'm so sick of people saying 'you'll put it straight back on' Well done you :) Lynne - week 24, 86.5lbs down 9lbs to go... :)

You could have 3 if you wished. The only restrictions are only 1 bar a day and one mix a moose a day. But that's not till week 3 anyways :) Lynne - week 24, 86.5lbs down 9lbs to go... :)

I was convinced I had put on weight when I first moved up the steps but it was all mental and I lost 2lbs that week. Feels so good to reintroduce food again, makes you think yeah okay I have this I could really do it. I know what you mean bout wanting to feel the weight you are and not feel like...

Looking very slim hun. Keep going your doing fab :) Lynne - week 24, 86.5lbs down 9lbs to go... :)

It will be water weight, my CDC said you can retain water the first week you go into step 2 just the body dealing with the changes. I moved onto step 2 a few weeks ago. I have just started my 4th week on step 2 and have lost 7lbs the last 3 weeks. Lynne - week 24, 86.5lbs down 9lbs to go... :)

I felt the same. I would go agggges with losses every week but no one seemed to be noticing. I was also still in the same size trousers for the first 2 - 2 1/2 stone then it was as if almost over night it dropped off and I'd lost 2 dress sizes and everyone was full of compliments. As every one...

Most definitely do able :) good luck Lynne - week 24, 86.5lbs down 9lbs to go... :)

Thanks everyone. I just wanted to share the pic as others before and after photos really helped me in the beginning. My consultant has asked me if I would like to become a consultant so looking into that at the moment :). Good luck everyone. If I can do it you all can Lynne - week 24, 86.5lbs...

How did you get on with the info for becoming a counsellor Hun? Lynne - week 23, 84.5lbs down 11lbs to go... :)

They say no bars or mix a moose for the first 2 weeks but you sound determined. I'm sure if you spoke to your counsellor they would let you have them a week earlier. I think it's something to do with the relation of chewing and they have slightly more carbs so there is a risk of making you...

Mine is going up 10p a product. I'm not too fussed as I'm still saving money on all the takeaways and alcohol I used to have but suppose it depends on what your spending on food was like post Cambridge :) My counsellor did however let me buy a months worth before the prices went up Lynne -...

Thank you guys so much. I am very proud of myself. I am heading home in 3 weeks (I live 6 hours away? And have not been home since August. Not many people know I have lost weight so it's a total surprise... Can't wait. But I am a bit worried about negative reactions from one or 2 people :(...

You want to stick with as much protein as possible. Have a look at the food list for step 2 and try and stick with them. Also I dont know if you want one or not but if not don't let anyone talk you into having a pudding. It's up to you if you want one and it will make no difference to anyone...

Hi all I'm currently on step 2 of CD having lost 81.5lbs. I'm 14lbs off goal and really now want to start improving my fitness. I'm keen to do the couch 2 5k programme and just wondering how others feel running whilst on CD. As step 2 is still a very low amount of calories. Any help would be...

That's the amazing thing with this diet even after stone it's amazing the confidence it gives you Lynne - week 23, 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

I'm 23 and started out at 16 stone 4lbs... You can definitely do this :) Lynne - week 23, 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

I done just shakes for the first 12 weeks. I then introduced bars and the mix a moose. At week 20 I moved onto step 2. I have lost 5 stone 11.5lbs... If I can do it Hun anyone can!! :) Lynne - week 23, 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

Hi I am 14lbs off goal and have been on step 2 for 3 weeks now. My losses have remained the same and good. My BMI hasn't quite reached 25 yet... Nearly there I'm in the 26's but I felt my body was telling me it was ready to move up a step. I was starting to feel hungrier and the little meal in...

Aww Hun honestly I went threw a time like this. I was mad at the world for everything, didn't feel like my clothes were getting smaller and then started thinking that it wouldn't be so bad staying fat... No no no!!!! I was the same as you. Didn't particularly want to keep going but did and it...

This is my third week on step 2 and I haven't noticed any change in losses :). Definitely guys if I can do it anyone can :) Lynne - 23 weeks, 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

I went threw a stage like that Hun, it was so hard to stay focused and all I wanted was food. Sometimes we just have to eat to get it out of our systems. But hey it was only a little bit of bread could have been muuuuuuch worse. And I've had 2 bars in one day before. Also this puts you in a good...

No I haven't done any exercise until now but I think I do need to introduce some as its probably more about toning up rather than loosing weight. I moved up to step 2 a couple of weeks ago as I felt by body was telling me it was the right time and plan to work up the steps properly. I must say...

Waaw you look fantastic :) Lynne - week 23, 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

Just thought id pop up my before and after picture as these helped me loads in the beginning :). That's me at my heaviest - 16 stone 4lbs and now 10 stone 6.5lbs. 14lbs to go!! If I can do it anyone can!!! Hope everyone is doing well on their journey :)!! Lynne - week 23, 81.5lbs down...

I'm having to resist so much not to go mad on the shopping front now but I might have popped into a smaller size by goal. But yeah it feels fab to know ill be at goal then. And I feel fab on step 2. Was strange but your body lets you know when it's ready to move up a step. I'm also great full...

I've just started week 23, well that was on Tuesday. 14lbs to go :). Booked a holiday to Turkey today so power on for goal. It's not until July so I will be there :). But to anyone at the beginning of their CD journey, stick with it, 5 months ago I felt like I was going to be on the diet forever...

I booked a holiday today. All inclusive in Turkey. Not until July so will be at goal by then :). Cannot wait first slim holiday...of many I hope. Lynne - 23 weeks, 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

Definitely right there!! And when I was on my break I was actually dying to get back on it and feel in control again. Eating food again is actually really scary hehe Lynne - week 23, 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

I think a planned break can do wonders. Gives you something to look forward to and motivates you to stay 100% until your break. My advice would be don't go mad. Have meals but you really don't need pudding or that extra cake. And make a date for starting back on plan and stick to it. I had a...

I'm not sure either but I definitely would like to find out. If your allowed onion and pickled cabbage (I think, were allowed picked something) then what's the difference. Ooh how exciting. I love love looove picked onions!! Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

Well done!! I hope it wasn't too bad. A few more days and you'll be in ketosis and laughing the lbs off :) Lynne - 81.5lbs down 14lbs to go... :)

I am now on step 2 so have a small meal as well as the 3 products. What I do is I have 1 bar, 1 mix a moose and in then evening I use a very little amount of water to mix up a chocolate shake and make it into a pudding like consistency. I don't like the soups or porridges and felt 3 shakes was...

Yeah legs and arms have always been my problem areas. However I can see my legs taking a nice shape but some toning exercises will definitely be in order for me I think. Picked up a months worth of products today before the price increase lol. Ooh so many to choose from. What to have tonight...

2lbs off for me this week on step 2. 2lbs seems to be my number I've lost that most weeks recently which I'm more than happy with. Exactly 1 stone until I reach my target of 9 stone 6.5lbs :). Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

I hear you there...thunder thighs and bingo wings here too. Im guessing exercise is the key, but I'm sooo super lazy!! I've come to terms with the fact I'll never have a bikini body and I'm good with that :). Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

Well done Hun that's amazing!! Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

I was exactly the same. I felt I was starting to get hungrier and my body was telling me I needed to bring in a little bit of food. I still have 16lbs to loose but step 2 is working well for me on the hunger front. Petrified for my weigh in tomorrow though as this is my first week on step 2 and...

I moved up to step 2 this week and I'm so scared for weigh in tomorrow as my consultant said you can retain water the first week moving up a step. I'll be gutted if I stay the same after being 100% Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

Omg. I have such a new found appreciation for lettuce,, I had it with my scrambles eggs the other morning I love it so much hahahahahaha strange I know Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

Yes I was exactly the same, was in ketosis but was finding I was starting to get hungry and the little meal helped...I'm obsessed with eggs...scrambled at the moment lol. But for me I felt it was important to listen to my body as if I just pushed it in the 3 packs a day and no meal I think I'd...

I can't imagine it will do any harm...it only adds 17 more calories or something :). I do love it too has anyone tried making the mango shake into a moose? Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

Hehe. Is there still the 15 minute rule with the nooses? Or can I mix it up now and have It in half an hour I say Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

Who knew moose could be so filling... Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

I am 16lbs off goal and I have moved up this week. My body was telling me it was time to start eating food again. I don't think there's any rule on how far off goal you should be before moving onto step 2...just when you feel ready I think :) Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

I love watching cooking programmes lol. No idea why. Lynne - 79.5lbs down 16lbs to go... :)

I completely crave healthy things. I'm desperate for a lovely crunchy salad with lots of beetroot... I loooove beetroot. My cravings have totally changed and I find myself wanting things that I wasn't particularly fond of before like mushrooms. I can remember 5 months ago thinking oh ill be on...

Perfect thanks Lilly, I have a few spare packs so have room for error. After 20 weeks I'm starting to find the diet is getting harder, so thought a wee moose might add something new :) Lynne - 74.5lbs down 21lbs to go... :)

Hi all I am getting some mix a moose for the first time tomorrow night and just wondering how everyone find using this and if anyone has tips or is there a 'knack' to using this? Lynne - 74.5lbs down 21lbs to go... :)

So glad you had an amazing time. That half a stone will fall off. And you'll be back in the swing of it in no time. I'm on holiday this week and had a Chinese takeaway and lunch out once so we'll see what the damage is on Tuesday. Hope you settle again quickly, I remember that horrible feeling...

The first 4 days were horrific for me then I woke on day 5 feeling like a new woman so fingers crossed for you tomorrow :) Lynne - 74.5lbs down 21lbs to go... :)

Im a nurse and have been on SS for 20 weeks. Actually makes eating easier and it cab be so busy I just grab my bar and go. Isn't it strange the difference in information everyone gets from different CDCs. I did start when I was on a weeks AL just incase I had all the headaches and stuff but I...

I had this in the beginning, especially around bedtime however I'd wake up not hungry therefore I put this down to being mental. I had a real struggle at one point with my mind trying to convince it's self that I didn't even want to be slim lol

I have been a bit of a CD geek. I've been SSing and 100% with one night off for a leaving party. I didn't even come off plan over Christmas and new Year how ever that is because I live 6 hours from my family and was working 12 hour shifts over the festive period. I've found it very easy as I...

She said its not her it's management so it might just be regional. It's only 10p a sachet so won't break the balance but definitely got me keen to get to goal ASAP :) Lynne - 74.5lbs down 21lbs to go... :)

I'm now starting week 20. Lost another 4 last night so I'm now 10 stone 13.5lbs Never in my life imagined I'd see the 10 stones again. I say again but I don't remember the last time I was 10 stone something. I'm exactly 21 lbs off goal...I can do this. If I can anyone can. Keep up the good work...

Hi Scotty well done on your loss. I also lost 4lbs this week, was gloriously happy until my ca,bridge consultant told me that the prices will be going up as of 1st April :(. Never mind more motivation to get to goal quicker :)!! Lynne - 70.5lbs down 25lbs to go... :)

I've tested this a few times. For 2-3 weeks I've had the 2.25 litres and another 2-3 weeks I've had 4-5 litres and my losses have averaged the same so it doesn't work for me drinking more but thats not to say it wouldn't work for other people Lynne - 70.5lbs down 25lbs to go... :)

I was veeeery teary in the beginning, and my mind played such games on itself. At one point it was trying to convince its self that I didn't even want to be skinny. But I've been on plan 18 weeks now and it does just become a way of life. Just started week 19 :) Lynne - 70.5lbs down 25lbs to...

How do you find going to the gym on the diet? I really wanted to join a gym but was told that it would be too high impact for the amount of calories were having? But obviously that was incorrect info lol Lynne - 70.5lbs down 25lbs to go... :)

I became very constipated also dulcolax definitely. I also found upping my hot drinks, having hot baths and more bars helped me :). Hope it goes soon, nothing worse than constipation Lynne - 70.5lbs down 25lbs to go... :)

Hi all. Just though putting my feelings down might help me a little. I'm really struggling this week. I haven't been weighed due to having to work my weigh in night so I'm having a 2 week weigh in next week but I'm really finding I'm missing food now. I've stayed on plan. Had to go up to step 2...

Lol. What day are you on? http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w5Yxido/weight.png

I got really badly constipated, I found having more cups of tea, hot baths and having the bars all helped...the bars have more fibre in them. Hope you get sorted soon, it's one of the worse things ever being constipated http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w5Yxido/weight.png

Hi my CDC told me it's not a huge deal if you don't manage the milk allowance everyday. The important thing is to make sure your definitely getting the shakes in for vitamins and minerals and stuff. :) http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w5Yxido/weight.png

Well done on your losses so far. I have lost 5 stone and still have 1 and a half - 2 to go but after 18 weeks on CD I'm really starting to miss food, so I too was thinking about coming off the plan and joining slimming world. I'm still very motivated and probably could say on Cambridge until...

Well done on getting threw day 3 not long now until you feel like a new woman :). Hope you have a fab first weigh in when it comes

Have an amazing time. Done let yourself think about food too much, just enjoy your self :) 4 stone down...2 to go!!

I have another 2 stone to go. Think ill see how I get on at my next weigh in and speak with my CDC. I've been on night this week. First time I've had to do nights since starting the plan and I've found it hard to get the water in... Not feeling confident for weigh in but we'll see. Feel like my...

Your first 12 week will fly by...I'm 16 weeks in and 4 stone lighter. Like someone else said days 3/4 are pretty crap but I woke up on day 5 feeling like a new woman. Well worth it!! Good luck and let us know How your getting on :)

I'm the same, been on plan 16 weeks and lost 4 stone but really want to just have a big meal out or something. I'm wondering 2 things...1 maybe I should just have one big meal out, get it out of my system and get back on plan but then 2 on the other hand what if I have the meal and find it too...

Goodness me I am really going to need a breast uplift once I make it to goal... I really ought to get re measured myself. Mine are deflating like there is no tomorrow. Hope your holiday is amazing, I'm very jealous!! Must admit I'm really starting to miss food now. Been on plan 100% (except...

Oh the 5:2 diet that sounds like a good idea. I'm now on nightshift for a couple of weeks and found my first night a lot easier with the packs than I thought I would. I never sleep before my first nightshift and was panicking thinking I had to make 3 packs last me 24 hours but moved up to step 2...

Hi all the steps are on the last page of the book. But yeah It takes a minimum of 7 weeks to work threw the steps properly

Hi everyone so question for you's? I have been on the plan 16 weeks and have lost exactly 4 stone in that time :). However for the last few days I have been feeling veeeery hungry. I was just wondering if anyone else felt like this after a while on the plan? I drink about 4 litres of water a day...

I am really struggling today. I have a bit of a funny tummy and a headache that I have been unable to shift all day and I'm feeling veeeery home sick. I moved away from home for work 19 months ago and really miss my friends :(. I know I'm just feeling sorry for myself and won't eat but I really...

I achieved that yesterday too! Such a funny thing to get excited about but I was over the moon. Woohoo I'm finally overweight haha. Well done you!! <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wNJ2kDV/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wNJ2kDV/weight.png"></a>

Yeah I would eat it too. An out of date shake is disgusting, I talk from experience. I never realised until I took a sip but never done anything bad. <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wNJ2kDV/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wNJ2kDV/weight.png"></a>
