I saw this thread and just had to comment...
Iv pretty much complete my weightloss journey.. Now it's just a maintaining process... I too did Cambridge and can promise you I felt exactly the same pretty much every day for the last 6 months. But it has genuinely paid off... And now I want to make you realise that you can do it!!!!!
Iv lost 6 stone in total - from 16.7lb now at 10.7lb thought cambridge diet and it has been a massive journey!! I went for a weigh in today (been on 1500kcals with exercise) and lost another 3lb... So consultant has upped my calories again!! I pretty much have come up with all the "cheats" in the book to get me through it... But honestly it all will pay off!!
I too had times when I cheated... Including having a WHOLE (no exaggeration) packet of cookies on new years eve... After sole sourcing since October... Obvious shock to system and gained... But I got through it and kept thinking "no... I started this CWP journey... That must mean I'm not happy with my weight... So that's why I must stick to it"
I have had the most bizarre losses... On Solesource I started with a 9lb loss... Followed by a 4lb then generally lost 2lb a week (which felt unfair for the stress and struggle of not eating/socialising) but then I looked at the bigger picture... That's half a stone in a month... Thats incredible!
I got to a point where on sole source (after about 4 months) I began sts each week. Consultant suggested upping steps - luckily weight loss began again - on average 2lb a week on 810, 2lb a week on 1000 and 3lb a week on 1200 with exercise!
Just keep going! It will be worth it. Drink gallons of black tea/coffee to keep you fuller longer and crush shakes with a pint of ice an eat with a spoon to make them last longer and feel a bit naughtier (icecreamish!)
Let me know if you have any questions or just advice. Iv been there iv asked the questions myself and iv often wanted to quit!!
Lots of love x
