Hi everyone, Im new to this site so hopefully this goes out ok.
I did teh cambridge diet a few years back and lost a stone doing SS but then it all went wrong and i gave up and put it back on again.
I am much more motivated to complete it this time and see it through to the end with the maintenance programme etc.

I started on Saturday (12th Feb 2011) and am feeling ok so far. Cooked a lovely roast dinner yesterday for my husband whilst I ate my porridge :-(

Any Tips to keep motivated and not cheat!!! I have rubbish will power but really want to lose this weight now.

I want to be 10 stone at the most so have a long way to go!
 
wow...lookign at my ticker...73 pounds to go...seems a life time away!
 
had an early start at work today and going straight to a gig after work so wont be home untill late....dreading teh fact I may be hugely hungry later and might collapse on stage!

Any tips to make me feel full for longer. Water just doesnt do it for me. Maybe peppermint tea? dont like normal tea or coffee ;-(

Thanks Sharon, How do I knwo when Im in Ketosis? I heard it makes your urine smelly???? lol
 
Hiya hun :D Are you a singer?

Peppermint tea definately fills a whole and is very good for your tummy too! Im not sure if i ever feel FULL though if you know what i mean but hunger does subside after the first week so just push through, keeping your first weigh in in mind and next week will be so much easier i promise! xx

ok so im on day 4 now. Had a gig last night in a restaurant for Valentines and was tempted by Champagne and strawberrys dipped in Chocolate! Pure Hell but i managed the temptation and drank a chocolate shake instead....not quite the same :-(
Im feeling abit hungry this morning so need to keep busy! Unfortunately during the day I sit at a desk all day so I find myself day dreaming about what I could have for lunch! not good.

Trying to delay having my breakfast for as long as possible....think I can go another 45 mins before I might kill someone ;-)

3 more days and then my first weigh in...cant wait to see what has been happening xxx
 
Someone has just bought me a Malteser chocolate Bunny!!!!! I took it dont want to be rude.....it is now on my desk staring at me!!!

away in the drawer, will give it to hubby when I get home

Hope everyone is doing ok out there
