Hi all!

i hope this helps anyone if they have fallen off the wagon! I have been on cambridge for 4 weeks, week 1 i lost 13lb whoop whoop, week 2 i lost 3lbs, i was so happy over a stone in 2 weeks then week 3 came and hubby, baby and i went on holiday and hubby forgot to pack the shakes, so after much arguing i thought hey ho i'll just be good its only 6 days, well i wasnt i ate and drank everything in sight - the only plus side was because i'd done cambridge for 2 weeks my tummy couldnt cope with the onslaught of food and the result was i gained 2 lbs.

i was so annoyed i felt like i'd wasted 2 weeks - considered just carrying on eating, considered slimming world for the hundreth time, thought oh well i'm just meant to be bigger all my life and the i thought no no no, you can do this lola. drink loads of water and 3 cambridge products a day its not that hard you did it for week one and 2, sort this out!

so i did i drank a good amount of water a day and ate my products and the upshot is at this weigh in i lost a massive 8lb!!!

i hope this helps anyone who has fallen off plan, as it really really helped me to re focus, i will stick to it again this week and while i dont expect anything like 8lb again i know if i stick to it i will lose weight!!!

sorry i've rambled! hope everyone has great losses this week!

This was a joy to read!! I feel like a complete loser and lost it this week on week 3 for me too.. I have eaten 5 rich tea biscuits, a mcdonalds hamburger and some roast potatoes and a slice of sponge cake all this over 4 days when we have been out n about as hubby is off work on holiday but drinking the shake without using a blender to blend is disgusting, it made me heave. So today I am now drinking water like it's wine on a night out! Weigh in is in 2 days and it isn't looking good on my scales. seriously thinking about changing to Slimming World but need to shift weight for 3 weeks for my sisters wedding and think this is the only way? How do people cope when they have day trips or out n about? I can't drink the carton shakes as I have a milk allergy.... answers on a postcard please Also does exercise hinder or help?

I need to get focused!!! I need to shift 2 and a half stone by November 2nd it's my son's 2nd birthday (a deadline I have set myself) and I don't want to be the fat friend, fat mummy or fat wife anymore.

Wow well done hun! Thats fantastic.back on track ) regarding the bein out and about i either take a bar ir i take a bottle of water and my shaker and my shake and just mix it up looks abit weird but hey ho lol x

 

[Karrinnae]

OHHHH this has actually made me feel great.
So you had a blow out for 6 days......put on 2lbs.
Which i think is fab for a 6 day blow out.
Then went back on SS and lost 8lbs.

I will go for that!!!

Its um kinda showing the JUDD thing works well too.

 

[Bugoneeoni]

Bars?? I have no knowledge of bars on SS? just shakes?! I am missing a trick!!

 

[MandyMoo69]

Well done for getting back on it. How about ready made cartons when u r out and about or I have a small pocket size battery whisk which I carry with me to use for soups and shakes

 

[franbella21]

Lol oh yes they do bars! But u cant normally have them til week two.they do malt toffee peanut cranberry mint choc yummy they really hekp me xx

 

[Bugoneeoni]

I will ask CDC tomorrow, I can't do the carton's as I'm allergic to milk. Battery powered whisk is a fab idea as I tried to shake it myself and it was a disaster it made me gag. Thanks for the info!

 

[franbella21]

Have u got a cambridge shaker hun its my lifesaver x

 

[angelupnorth]

What a FANTASTIC post, Great to hear how you turned it around and not throw in the towel.

Huge respect to you !

I had a kind of planned break at the weekend for my Hen weekend and last night and tonight I have found it hard but you are so right, Its the easy option to give in and have a binge / break / fall off the wagon but sticking to plan brings all of the rewards we have worked so hard to get and I for one will be even more empowered to stick to plan after reading what you have said !

Thank you x x x

 

[franbella21]

hi everyone!!
thanks for all your lovely posts!! lets all hope we get huuuuuge losses next week!

as for out and about i tend to just keep topping up with water and then have something when home! but i love the mini whisk idea!

Lola x

 

[MandyMoo69]

Do other CDC not sell the mini whisks ??? Its a proper Cambridge Diet one but I got it from another CDC not mine and it only cost £5. It comes in a small pouch so its great for keeping in your handbag. Maybe I should buy a job lot and sell them ha ha

 

[franbella21]

Gosh no id never heard of them but they sound great!! Ive got a cambridge shaker x
