Hi, I have tried many diets in the past but none have worked for me and I have cheated with all of them and then lost motivation completely. I am in a happy relationship and have just become complacent with my weight and my boyfriend doesn't mind but I want to do this for me. I am currently 12st 8lb and 5ft 8.
I started the cambridge diet today and I haven't felt too hungry at all! :D but I have been at work and haven't really had time to think about food.
I have been reading people's diaries about this diet and apparently day 2 and 3 are the worst so I'm expecting a bad day tomorrow and Saturday! :/
I was just wondering what people do when it comes to social and family events? As it is Easter on Sunday and I have a family meal then and on Monday I have a buffet.. I think I could just about cope with seeing people eat and drinking me shake/ soup but could I have a 'day off' would it make a difference?
I'm fully motivated at the moment but let's see what tomorrow brings!

Day three and today was by far the hardest day but I think I'm going into ketosis now. Going to go and buy some ketostix tomorrow. I have felt so down today and have a cold which doesn't make it any easier!
Up early in the morning so at least I can have an early night to take my mind off food although I'm not actually hungry!
Had a sneaky look at the scales today and it says on 12st5?! I was 13st2 on Wednesday is that possible that I've lost 10lb in 3 days?!
 
Wow! That's great! I'm hoping for a similar result :)
 
I'm sure it will be a great start of course it does slow down otherwise it would be pretty dangerous to loose that much on a weekly basis :)
 
Is it still a good loss each week? I need to lose about 4lb a week to reach my target weight. Is that a realistic goal? Day 4 is going really well and in not actually hungry! I work with food and I haven't even been tempted to pick today.. I don't think I could deal with chewing food haha
 
My target each week is 3.5 so we ca. Spur each other on - day 4 ur nearly at the end of wk1 well done u are probably in Ketosis you are beginning to burn fat it's all good x
 
Yeah definately. The days are going quicker now. Can't believe it's day 5 already! I've stuck to SS 100% and I feel great! How you doing?
