Anyone want to join me? I'm starting tomorrow. Have had great success on CD before but 2 babies and a hellish 2012 have led to a terrible weight gain.
I know some people disapprove, but it works for me. Previously I used it to lose weight and then maintained eating a healthy diet with plenty of protein, veg and occasional fruit and starchy veg, a bit of brown rice every now and then. Nuts, seeds, small amounts of dairy. It worked really well and I felt great for years. As soon as I started snacking on sugary crap because I was so stressed and upset, the weight piled on and I craved carby meals. I couldn't face my usual healthy , tasty meals which I previously really enjoyed. Totally vicious cycle. Anyway, the stress has gone and I'm determined to fix my weight and my health.
I want to keep this thread positive, motivational and free from talk of food and cheating!
Start weight 14.3 (yikes)

Cambridge Diet 5 stone goal
Pompbear · 02/01/2013 10:24
Hello! 2 stone is my starting point, got a loooooooong way to go. Not been too bad today except for tea time. Couldn't resist some ham but it's nothing compared to what I normally eat.My S&S order is coming tomorrow and I'm actually excited about trying the meals and having the bars. Having 4 packs a day should help me through. Have you got an order tomorrow or already got some in the house? x
Good luck pink90. Day 2 for me. The kids are driving me insane so it is testing me to my limits 
Yea, found some cd dieters 
. I thought mn would be the last place and if I posted anything about it I would get slammed with the usual "it's dangerous, you put it all back on bla bla bla."
I know it's probably not as "healthy" as healthy eating but I like results and I'm an all or nothing person: and been having way too much ALL.
So I started cd 2 days ago and this is killer day 3, should be in ketosis by tonight. I have not cheated and lost 4 pounds already .
I was 11.5 and want to be 9.7. I am going to do soul source for 2 weeks and then probably stay on it during the week and come off but eat healthy at weekends, see how that goes. I've got loads of social things coming up, usually I have no social life. Just typical!
The hardest thing I have found this time is cooking for my 3 year old. She eats like a sparrow and hoovering up her left overs has become a bad habit. Last time she was still just a baby. My son is 4 months and sometimes sleeps through but I am mostly up for one night feed and up with both of them by 6. So used to being tired.
I am also in competition with my dh, he has more to loose than me but its more about who can stick to it longer: I will not be the first to crack!
Good luck to those starting today or tomorrow . We can Do It!
I like them warm too, in the morning I make my choc shake with filter coffee: it's like a mocha and gets me moving. I use one of those smoothly blenders, makes all the shakes and soups really fluffy.
Well done to everyone who got through today. I managed to go through Md drive through and it didn't kill me, nearly did though
