Hi all fellow Cambridge Dieters!
Well I'm on week 3 now and have found this forum helpful in times of desperation. I haven't posted yet so here goes.
Week 1:
Had the flu and felt like my insides were punishing me on day 2. I pushed through and didn't cheat even though the temptation was hitting me full force!! By the time Thursdays weigh in came I knew I hadn't cheated but was so nervous but realised if I hadn't lost the only person I was letting down was myself. I was over the moon with an 8lbs loss!
Week 2:
Found this week extremely easy to stick with all the products, mainly shakes with one soup a day. I also find that being on SS+ is a lot easier than SS (only did SS for 2 days as misunderstood my CD consultant) That tiny 200 calorie meal once a day really helps and I found a new love for plain chicken and turkey (normally have a dollop of full fat mayo on the side!) it was also TOTM for me so was super strict. Happy with 4lbs loss.
Week 3:
Still sticking to diet 100% and find that I'm not craving anything specific but if I fancy something sweet I take a sniff of the food I'm craving and it actually helps. If I get hungry I fill myself with endless black tea/coffee a sweetener. Finding it easy drinking the water as I'm carrying around a litre sports cap bottle of water and constantly refilling so I can see how much I'm drinking. Great weight loss of 5lbs!!
Week 4:
So I lost 5lbs after week 3 and did so well, until I bought the kids a treat and smelt them. The kids said how amazing these Nutella filled chocolate chip cookies were and I caved. I had 2!! Then I had a couple of M+S chocolate pieces and a handful of Pringles. If I don't admit this I'm going to explode. I cried and was In denial about doing it but now 100% back on track. Not looking forward to Thursdays weigh in so I might try a bit of exercise (not the most energetic of people).
So in total I have lost 17lbs in 3 weeks and have about 2 1/2 stone to go till target and will then reassess.
I hope I haven't bored you too much if you've managed to read through this, I just needed to get it out there somewhere.
Xx
