I wasn't sick thank goodness. How is everyone today? I'm feeling good, but can't get warm. Came up with a yummy dinner for tonight though! Gem lettuce is kind of cup shaped isn't it? So that with a lean turkey breast slice in the middle, then cottage cheese (mixed with spring onion and...

Well done on the loss. Move on and forget that slight relapse, tomorrow is a new day and treat it as such xx

Well done on the 10lbs loss! I lost that on the first week too and lost 3.5lbs this week. Keep going and keep motivated. xxx

Has anyone got any snow yet? Very south east corner of England are meant to be getting some tomorrow and throughout the weekend. I'm not keen on it when I have to drive but when I don't it's lovely as I don't feel guilty for just laying in bed all day watching movies! xx

Not feeling good now, I feel really really bloated and sick. What happens if I throw up? Should I stick out the diet or 'line my stomach', i've always been told to have a dry slice of toast so that you dont burn your stomach with bile. I don't know what to do guys! HELP!! xx

You can do it! Christmas is a hard time for all of us with all them social gatherings and meals and alcohol and food! But well done for loosing it all again, must be a good feeling knowing you can get rid of it as quick as you put it on. xx

I find SS+ so much easier because it means you have something to look forward to! What day are you on? I'm on day 14 now and still loving my dinners! George Forman is a saviour. Did you know we are also allowed 60g rice noodles instead of our 80 veg? My consultant told me this week which I...

Same as me! I lost 10lbs in my first week and 3.5lbs in my second week. Keep going!! xx

I think the individual meetings with the consultant helps alot too. Almost as though you're doing it for them too aswell as yourself. I use the electric whisk that I used to use for baking cakes to whisk my shakes up and it works a treat. You can get a cheap one of these from Tesco for like a...

I love seeing stories where people are feeling good on the diet. Shows there is hope for us all! Especially when i'm having a bad day. I got weighed for my second week today and for the two weeks I've lost 13.5lbs. So nearly a stone! Good luck! xx

Well done on getting through the weekend, I've found that's the hardest time. You'll breeze through the week and then you'll get your boost at the weigh in. I certainly did, I've lost 13.5lbs in two weeks. Good luck xx

Thank you! I'm only doing another week and then I'm going to come off and start with the healthy eating. I am feeling deprived now seeing every one else eat normal food so I want some! I'm now at a healthy BMI (25) so after this week hopefully i'll be slightly under. xx

Day 13. Got my bars this week and excited to try them! Had my second weigh in and lost 3lb which takes me to a total of 13lbs off!

Just an update. Had a couple of inches of snow today so was the perfect excuse just to sit inside and do nothing. Feeling okay, looking forward to a poached egg and salad later. Yum yum xx

It probably is quite entertaining, reading it back i'm thinking oh my what an emotional roller coaster! Watching Big Brother and imagine if they did it with people on Cambridge (first weekers) - although it'd be awful for the person it would be the most entertaining thing on tv! If any of you...

It defo does when I see a loss, I didn't look once last week and was so proud of myself so the 10lb loss was such a shock. Good luck with your weigh in and I hope you get to see what you want to though. Looking at it today has really made me want to eat. I haven't though, only had what i'm...

DAY 9. I know I shouldn't have but I weighed myself today and rather than being 11:5, i'm 11:6! I've been 100% - how can I have put weight on? Stressing me out, i'm trying to convince myself its because of all the water and the fact its evening now whereas when I was weighed in it was...

I've had LOADS of negativity about doing this diet also. Yet I feel healthier than I've felt it years, I can put pound to penny we are giving ourselves more nutrition than these people stuffing their faces with fatty stodgy meals. People think they turn into nutritionists talking to us about...

I lost 10lbs! WOOHOO xx

Also feeling good today (DAY 8). I had a strawberry shake for breakfast, a choc mint for lunch and then a choc tetra (warmed up) for pudding. Feeling so much better about this today. YAY.xx

Thankyou RWroe. I do really want it gone but people keep telling me how unhealthy this diet is and "if I lose another stone thats too much", even though that would take me to a BMI of 22 so therefore healthy! I WILL DO IT THOUGH. Sod giving up just to regret it, i'll still want to lose that...

Felt amazing yesterday morning, unfortunately had a bit of a breakdown in the evening thinking how long can I really do this for?! I would like to lose another stone ideally but not sure if I can stick to it for another month. Help :( One week today is my anniversary aswell and won't be...

All I can say is that you've got through what I found the hardest bit. Days 2-3 were horrible. Today I'm feeling a little bit dizzy but just making sure I drink enough and sit down alot. Gentle walks when I feel okay enough to do it. Sleeping and taking baths (not too hot though, nearly...

Hiya! Day four is when I started feeling better too. I'm now starting day seven. I had my weigh in today and I've lost 10lbs! (after only 6 days on CD) I'm on SS+ (3 shakes and a 200kcal meal) What plan are you on? Good luck on getting the weight off. It'll be worth it in the end. xx

I have lost a whopping 10lbs. One more stone to go. Wooooo!!

Had my weigh in!! After six days on cambridge diet i have lost 10lbs!!!! Yay!

Thank you! As I said before it was hard today because I kept thinking if I just have some food this dizziness will go away! BUT I DIDNT, until dinner- but I stuck to my 200kcal. I had a poached egg, half my chicken allowance with some lettuce and spring onions. Haha it's bad isn't it, I wake...

I like the oriental chilli soups, hopefully I won't overdo it on them. I also like the leek and potato soup. My fave is the mint choc- same as you and I haven't had a good go on the cappuccino ones, it was the first I had so I mixed it wrong and it was thick and lumpy and I hated it but have...

Cheeky cow if so hahaa. I got a book with the stages and allowances but the products don't seem to be in there. I'll have a look on the website and mention it tomorrow when I go for my weigh in tomorrow. xx

Last night I had a dream that I cheated on Cambridge!! My dream consisted of literally stuffing my face with every fast fatty food going, Chinese, Indian, McDs, fish and chips. EVERYTHING. ARGH. DAY SIX. Had a 'hot chocolate' for breakfast this morning and about to go and have a mint shake I...

Wow- WELL DONE! What step are you on? xx

Good luck! Christmas is a nightmare for most people. Now you can start properly without all these obligatory social events (NYE, XMAS, etc). How many times have you done Cambridge? What shakes/soups do you like? x

Wow, that's amazing. I hope I get that kind of loss tomorrow!!

What plain dried spices d'ya mean? My CDC said curry powder was fine so I've stuck to Tikka masala powder for the rest of the week. I only used the fajita on Day 1. My eggs last night were to DIE FOR!! I even cooked them for a little to long so the egg yolk wasn't how I liked it but I still...

I didn't get energy as such yesterday but felt less hungry and better about the whole thing and more motivated xx

Weigh in is thursday morning, sorry I wasn't clear on that. Going for a walk tomorrow so will hopefully burn some more of this horrible chub off. xxx

Hiya! What step are you doing? How are you finding the cambridge products (taste, fullness etc)? How much are you hoping to lose ? Keep at it, i've just completed day five. Day three was the hardest for me, wanted to quit, spent half the day in tears, felt dizzy, head a headache, my attention...

I haven't eaten or drunk anything I shouldn't have. The only thing I'm worried about is that my CDC said I could have any dried spices on my food so I got a dried fajita flavouring kit and now i'm worried that I shouldn't have had that on my chicken (that I grilled). I will be gutted if I don't...

Can't wait to get my new lot of shakes etc! What do you recommend? I HATE vanilla. I LOVE mint choc I LIKE the potato leek soup + oriental chilli soup + chocolate flavour + strawberry. I haven't tried the tetras or the bars yet. xx

I didn't know anything about tetras either. Am going back to uni next week and won't be abele to make them up there between lectures etc. What flavours do they do in tetras? Any reason I wouldn't have been told about them?xx

Thanks Rachel. How will I know when i'm in ketosis? I have read about the ketostix but not got any. Day six then my first weigh in first thing in the morning on day seven. I don't know how you've managed over two months. Real inspiration!xx

Tried the 'lamb qourn' - I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Tasted foul. I've abandoned that and i'm going for a mushroom omelette in a little while I think. FOLLOWED BY A YUMMY CHOC MINT SHAKE MMM.

wow - amazing well done xx

I would love to see/read about everyones progress on SS+ as alot of people are on SS and my weight loss won't measure up to theirs so would give me a good idea of what to expect. x

DAY 5! I'm getting there, feeling a little less hungry today though my breath is awful despite brushing my teeth about 3 times this morning. Had a choc mint shake this morning and i'm going to have the potato and leek soup for dinner and my 200kcal meal (SS+) which I have LAMB QUORN - sounds...

Thank you everyone! Makes so much difference having people support and encourage you. My goal weight is 10 stone 5 which will put me at a lovely BMI of 23. It was so hard yesterday! All the tills are next to the customer cafe as well which means I was inhaling the smell of a fry up all morning...

New to the Cambridge world. Taken me three days to work out how to post a new thread here! Currently on Day Three but have been keeping a little diary on the side just to help me through it. Here's the horrible bit: Gender: Female Age: 19 Height: 5"6 Weight: 12.1 Day one...
