Hi folks, havent posted for ages so thought i'd update you. I am no longer on the cambridge diet. I have lost 5 and a half stone and am happy where i am for the moment, im in a size 14 clothes and feel fantastic about my weight loss and figure but there is a but.... i havent totally finished my journey (wanted about another 9 lbs off) because of the hair loss im suffering (yeah i know they dont tell you this can happen) dont get me wrong im not bald but my once lovely thick head of long hair which was my pride and joy after growing it for about 5 years is now lank, thin and dropping out like nobodies business. its awful, its starting to get me really stressed out. i know it isnt gonna totally fall out, or that im going bald but its still stressfull seeing it happen (have spoke to couple people who've done LL and it happened to them) anyway that is the ONLY reason i am not completing the journey completly.
I have been on "proper" food now for about 4 weeks (had a 4 day holiday to portugal with the girls in between) and i havent gained an oz, just lost a pound so i'm well pleased. just eating normal really and NOT being a greedy pig like i was. have a slice of toast for break, soup or sandwich for lunch and normally fish or chicken with roast veg and/or salad for tea, or brown rice and homemade spicy sauce of some kind and so far its working for me.
in a couple of months time (hopefully still maintaining) im going to join weight watchers to get this last 9lb off.
anyway i dont regret this diet, i loved every min of it and its certainly helped tackle my over eating its just had the dark cloud over it because of whats happening to my hair, still i would recommend it to people as its gave me back my confidence and life so that alone has made it worth while (oh and the fact i can now shop in Oasis, Warehouse, Asos etc :-D )
good luck to all you dieters - remember you can do it.

You're looking great, you're maintaining and you've conquered the over-eating thing, so it sounds like the perfect outcome!
