Hello! That sounds really good as the weight falls off im getting a lot of anxiety about keeping it off and regular food in take again. Let me know how it goes with actually eating again as i think i might be tempted to indulge if i was to eat. How come youve got a new CDC? I think putting more...

HI Gemzo! Didnt see your post again! Is it like a weird coating in your mouth because i do and i think its from the shakes? Its nothing a bit of water wont solve anyway! Drink to shrink! But yeh if its like a coating i get it all the time totally normal! In fact my manager tried some of my shake...

So dinner tonight... Crab and cucumber salad and cod fillet with spinach. Sparkling water and a coffee to finish... 1st eating challenge complete! Really happy! However, I have now got tummy ache like no other almost like period pain just higher up in my stomach, don't think I'm going to get...

Day 23: Only had a chance to have 2 shakes which wasnt great but was super busy at work which was good so was very distracted. But to compensate i did have some ham while i was working, just to pick at to make sure i got some extra calories and protein in! Day 24: Stood on the scales this...

Hi gonzo! At work yesterday and we were crazy busy so didn't have time to post. It does get easier after day 3, the only thing I found was extreme thirst? Ended up drinking 5 litres if water 1 day but I seem to be back to the normal 4 now! Had any challenges yet? Theresa! Hope your doing...

There's a sticky on the forum somewhere about how to do it? It's from a website called ticker factory? How's day 4 going? Xx

Day 3 is definitely the hardest day so if you made it through yesterday your doing well! I had 4st 8lbs to lose in total and now it's only 3st 5lbs! Best motivation I've found is to install a ticker in your signature so it doesn't look like such a daunting amount. When you say 3 st out loud I...

Thanks Gemzo! How are you getting on? Which diet are you doing! Theresa, didnt see your lil post up there! OMG its actually briliant. I am now glued to my laptop 24/7 ive downloaded the app. Boyf is currently munching down on a tuna melt and here i am tapping away, keeping him company but not...

So sorry to read about your terrible news, but really glad to hear you had such a lovely day together! Ive prepared to go up the steps(jumping ahead i know!) CDC recommended i start looking at incorporating food back into my life this week, just looking at step 2. Im still around 1 1/2 stone...

So inspirational. Im around the same height as you with (around) the same amount to lose. I can only say youve made me realised that i can get there too. Amazing.

Day 21: Weigh in day today! 3lbs off! Total loss of 17lbs now! Even got my first 'weightloss' compliment today! I went over to boyfs house and his dad said i looked really healthy and how good i looked! Been to pilates today too which has made me feel all super healthy! Now watching embarrassing...

Boyf is cooking pepperoni pizza downstairs. So im following Theresa's advice and I've downloaded the app so I can read the posts! I'm now watching silent witness on I player to distract me! Peppermint tea is staving off that empty feeling I sometimes get at this time in the evening!

So today is day 20! Ive lost another 2lbs since my last diary entry. Which is about half a pound a day. CDC said to expect this to be about the average (e.g. 1/2 lb per day = 3.5lbs per week = 1 stone per month. Just been soldiering on with it really so nothing major. Clothes are definatley...

Day 15: Yesterday was a very very BAD day. My boyfriend and i have an agreement that i dont watch him eat and in an open plan flat this means i go to bed when we get in. Yesterday, he found out on our lunch break that he has to have a root canal, so we had the usual male hysterics about the...

Hi theresa! Thank you, gotta keep strong! Hope your doing well too! Day 14: I lost another 4lbs. Was kind of hoping for more, but a loss is a loss! Just means im going to have to pull it out of the bag by 31st Jan if i want to reach my goal, so 8lbs in 10 days? I reckon achievable but pushing...

So Day 12: Had to start having my shakes hot because its so cold out side! Lost half a pound when i stood on the scales so not a bad day. Today = Day 13: Lost another 1lb! i genuinely think its the snow so im walking everywhere as i cant get my car out. Which means ive lost the grand total of a...

Hi Paige! I really hope i loose 3.5 in the second week, really want to get a good number again this week! Day 11: 1lb off this morning! Which means ive lost 3lbs so far in my second week. Having really bad food cravings this week i think its because its my TOTM. Gagging for a cup of tea and a...

Day 9: Woke up yesterday morning and id lost another 2lbs! Absolutely over the moon with this diet, my CDC didnt think id have such a big loss this week and prepared me for around the 3/4lb mark as is standard on cambridge in the first few weeks! But to have lost half of that already feels...

Hi KathyWebb! Day 7 is definately when it all clicks together! Really hope you had a big loss today! Day 8: IVE LOST 10LBS!! Amazing, even did pilates tonight had a brilliant time. Thought it might be a good idea because i dont want to be all flabby when ive lost the weight, i want to be nice &...

Your phots are amazing! Congratulations on that weightless, if you've had determination like that in the past you'll definately have it again. All the inspiration you need is right there! You've spurred me on now! I am also a fellow smoker and i have to say that the weight is the first thing...

Ok so Day 7 so far so good, 2 shakes down and feeling much better than yesterday. Found things seem to be 'passing through' better than earlier in the week! Starting to feel really good and full of energy again which is great. Much 'extra' 3lbs went down to 1lb so had 1lb gain from eating...

Hi, Sorry if im posting this in the wrong area but i cant seem to find anywhere else to ask it! Im on day 6 today and ive been really ill all day. I've eaten a bowl of porridge because i felt like i needed something and smells of anything (coffee/ tea/chocolate shake) were making me gag. Ive...

Day 5 didnt end well, i had a banging headache and mindlessly ate a tortilla chip. Day 6 (today) ive been so so so ill i havent got out of bed but boyf has force fed me a bowl of porridge. He assumes im ill because i havent eaten for 6 days. I have tried to explain the diet to him but to be...

Argh! Something really great but really horrible has happened! Ive been invited to Dublin, to the England vs Ireland rugby match which ive accepted (its the most amazing atmopshere and experience) but i found out today that were in hospitality and theres a 3 course lunch?! its the 9th/10th of...

Day 5: Woke up this morning and im now under the 13 stone mark! Have to say though, felt absolutely awful this morning, sick dizzy and really tired. Couldn't concentrate, felt jittery everytime i stood up. I think its because i only had two shakes yesterday so im feeling it today!. However, i...

Hello, I am 100% sure you can do it again and it sounds like you dont have as much weight to lose this time as you have done previously. The ticker thingy is from Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... and then once youve made it, it will give you three...

Hi Theresa, Its great to hear other peoples experiences, i did the diet so long ago that i just dont remember anything (apart from that i craved cucumber?!) I got the fibre supplement right away so that i didnt get the constipation as a friend had mentioned it! Its so lovely to have some...

Hi Paige, Ive had the dizzy spells too and the coldness drives me insane, im already one of those people that wears 2 pairs of socks in winter! I do find myself going to bed really early too, partly because im massively tired but also because im trying to avoid the food too. The idea of...

Hello, Paige - I'm on SS, congrats jn the 10lbs! Very impressive. Really hope I can do the same. Any advice from here on in if your on day 6? Did CD that long ago can't really remember! Kathy Webb - I know exactly what you mean about food obsession! When I was gaining weight I was constantly...

Day 4: Obviously its only 10.30 but so far today ive woken up feeling better than any of the other days, day 1 and 2 i had bad headaches and day 3 i was really shaky and a bit fragile. Another 2 lbs off which takes my weightloss over the last 3 days to 7lbs! I dont know whether this is even...

Stood on the scales this morning and lost another pound! Working in a restaurant definitely has its downsides though, they made a ton of sandwiches at lunch time which didn't sell so they offered me some... Felt really empowered turning them down and making a conscious decision to just say no...

Just got home and jumped on the scales... and I've lost 2.2lbs, just over the course of today! Hopefully, i might lose some more while i sleep? (This seems to happen and i have no idea why) This weight loss is now carrying me through the smell of bacon that my boyf is cooking downstairs...

Thanks :)

My Diet History: I was thin, then i was really unhappy at school so i gained 5 stone. Then i lost 4 stone on CD and went to uni, where i was really happy and lost another stone. Then my dad got cancer and my boyfriend dumped me and i ate and ate and ate. And i gained 4 1/2 stone. And now I'm...

Really inspiring! Came on here as lost ALL my energy, found it again after looking at those!

How long does it take to go into ketosis? Ive brought some sticks from an online chemist and i was on CD for 7 days before it showed any change at all, is this normal?

Im on day 2 but I'm struggling with coldness and a real lack of concentration? I know that by day 5 I'm buzzing with energy and feeling great. Just wondered whether any one else has issues with concentration?

The mango shakes were the best IMHO especially with crushed ice in the summer. But the new lemon bar is actually amazing, its better than eating real biscuits. Id eat them all day everyday but I'm confined to 1!!

Where can you get them from? This sounds like a winning idea!

Im so happy others have this problem! Im really having trouble getting warm, I'm dreading my shower tomorrow morning, I'm literally shivering I'm so cold.
