Cambridge Weight Plan - anyone on it or about to start it and want to support each other?

[NickNacks]

I have my first appointment with my consultant booked for three weeks time. I've done lots of research and prepping and just wondered if anyone else was in the same position? I could do with the support!

I forgot to eat a packet yesterday, was so busy, I didn't feel it...and this morning I'm down almost 2 lbs . Have now lost 13 lbs in 15 days, another 40 to go....!

Eek, I forgot to eat my 3rd pack yesterday, was so busy I just didn't think about it, and this monring I'm down another 2lbs . Total now 13lbs in 15 days, another 40 to go!

oops double post...

So today has the breakfast eggs and for lunch the sausages but decided that as it was a Saturday I would add real food, wafer then ham and some artichoke hearts. - random but i took a notion and oh my god my gallbladder has started to play up, this was at about 1pm and only just feeling better - back to three packs only as of Monday - no idea how the reintroducing of real food will go in a couple of months, but a problem for another day!!

Can I join you? I'm on Exante TS,so three packs a day. Today is my first proper day on it. I tried it about six months ago but it didn't fit in with my lifestyle then. Things have changed so it's not so much of an issue now.

I'm a little excited.

Hi jody, welcome to the gang

I've just 2 weeks on TS so not far ahead of you, first week was tough but in the swing of things now.

joey!

Hi Questions, thank you.

Right, new day, new week...how's everyone doing?

Morning, Morning - all good here - going to try 16:8, mainly because I have not stopped since I got into the office, and if I can get everything done that I need to, I am going to have an hour at midday to really enjoy my porridge!!!!

Really want 4-6lbs off before Friday. So focus, focus focus and lots of water!!

xx

Good to hear plum - what's 16:8?

Does anyone know if it's OK to eat 2 bars + 1 shake a day? I've been doing 2 shakes and 1 bar so far...I can't think of any reason why not (same cals)...

Hi Questions - its eating within an 8 hour window and then fasting for 16 hours. So eating everything between 12pm and 8pm and then nothing till 12pm the next day. I am hoping it improves my life (tad exaggeration) but at the moment I am having dinner at work and getting home 7/8pm and starving. so hoping that surviving on water and a couple of coffees between getting up and midday, then something at 4pm and then someone with I get home will improve my life!!

DOn't see why two bars and a shake would matter as opposed to two shakes and a bar, like you said same calories, as long as you don't get bored I cannot see the problem!!!

Ahh, thanks for the clarification - that's generally what I've been doing so far as I find a coffee and lots of water in the morning is enough (just don't feel hungry in the mornings). Funnily enough, I could probably go to about 1/2pm without anything, but as soon as I have my first shake, 3-4 hrs later I'm ready for the next. Didn't realise there was any benefit to eating within a shorter window, always have that mantra of breakfast is the most important meal of the day going round in my head!

Have sent Exante a FB message about the bars/shakes combo, let's see what they say.

Hi. Well Sunday was my meal out. If it hadn't been a close family birthday I would have cancelled as I had dreadful heartburn. The meal was rubbish. I had roast to beef but really didn't enjoy it. I enjoyed my exante ham pasta and mushroom soup this evening.
Also had appointment to discuss plans for my surgery and tbh he really pissed me off. I was originally told I need to lose 2 to 21/2 stone (21/2 stone would would take my bmi to 30). Turns out he now wants me to get my bmi to 28. So the other stone I thought I needed to lose has morphed into 13kg.

O well going to have to stick to this for 2 months. Than a month of low calorie or 5 2 will hopefully do it.
welcome joey

question I just eat ehat I fancy. Today was 2 bars and a meal. I am not thst keen on the shakes but only have them for breakfast.

What I fancy

Hi all,

I had porridge for breakfast, soup for lunch, and the pizza for tea. Was all ok. PILs have come back from holiday with a huge gift of chocolate. Lovely of them, but too much of a temptation!

I haven't tried any of the meals, just shakes and bars. Exante replied saying any combo is fine.

joey give it away! Your neighbours will love you

I might be going out for dinner on Thursday, but have chosen a fish restaurant so hopefully will be able to just eat protein.

browneyed that's annoying! But upside is you'll be even safer going into surgery..

That is true.question thank you

Serious willpower required. Just been to the chip shop to pick up chips for dd and dh. I will not eat the leftovers as I had 2 days back on plan. Will be having dinner out on Saturday too so must be strick this week.
Amazing loss btw question

Finally!!!!!!

Cheeky mid week weigh in and another 2 pounds off - that is 15 pounds since 1st Feb - so relieved but not recording anything till Friday. Maybe I can get another 1 or 2 off before then, then its "hello SpaceNK" very excited!!!

Brown - seriously impressed re chippy chips, I walked from the station home last night, and the smell from the pizza shops almost caused me to crack - willpower is an awesome thing!!!! xx

Thanks plum I weighed in at gym today and I am now 13 stone on the nose. So 13lbs in just under 4 weeks. Annoyed I didn't get a decent reading until week one. Treated myself to a nail polish and eyeshadow as s treat as I believe I have lost just over a stone

Get in thats fab!!!!

Love a weight loss reward that is not food related!!! Enjoy the nail polish - I don't wear eyeshadow but enjoy that too!! :)
