Thank you! Had a quick look on-line and came across a whole thread on recipes from crisps to popadoms and chicken stuffing!! Can I post links on here?! I'm not sure they allow you to but if you put in something along the lines of ' turn cambridge diet products into crisps' into search engine hopefully the thread will come up! There were about 8 or 9 different recipes! Let me know if you can't find it and I will copy and paste for you!!

Have you given yourself a time span for the weight loss? I have got a sheet of paper on my bedroom wall with 15 weeks counting downwards to 1 week and cross the weeks off as I go along and also have a paper next to it with 6 counting to 1 representing the number of stones I have to lose. I was chuffed to cross 6 off - on Friday but when updated my profile on this forum it shopws 4 st 9 which sounds so much better than looking at 5 stone on the paper. But once I get to the 17st 11lb mark I want to start the diet again on SS but when that time comes really will want to do everything in my power not to fall for a silly moment -

Because the way I look at it the moments gone but my weight has not . . .
 
No I haven't given myself a time frame other than as soon as possible. I am going to take weekly photos thou and keep a diary. Think that will help keep me on track!
 
How is every one doing? I am day 4 and after struggling on day two, I have to say I feel great. No hunger at all although feeling slightly weak and dizzy at times. It's really taken me by surprise and I had thought I would constantly be hungry! I assume with the lack of hunger I must be in ketosis and certainly have had to reach for the mouth spray :-/ I feels so alien not eating proper food and can't shake the rather odd feeling I am getting when I don't eat... If that makes any sense at all?

Hi Peggy, Day 4 for me as well! I do keep getting dizzy spells but it reminds me to drink my water! I am addicted to jumping on the scales at the mo- i'm down 8lbs so far!! Which is definitely keeping me motivated! :) I must pick up some mouth spray!! lol x

Well done! I am avoiding the scales so far! But...I feel like I have lost weight and i know its early days but my clothes are definitely looser! I am seeing my consultant today to swap some products as I just can't tolerate the porridge! Otherwise feel really good apart from I have a wedding Saturday! I didn't want to put off starting diet as there will always be a social thing I have to go to....Not sure how I am going to cope....I hope I am not tempted! Luckily its is an informal event so no sit down meal to avoid, just the buffett :cry:
 
Oh you'll be fine! Take a shake tetra with you and if you really have to pick just stick to protein & salad! I've got a spa break & a comedy night booked for December with meals included so i'm hoping there is some healthy options!

I tried the apple & cinnamon porridge yesterday & thought it was delicious! The Spicy Tomato soup was horrible though! I like everything else I've tried so far :)
