Cambridge Diet / 1:1 diet, anyone? 2020 targets?

[MrsHufflepuf]

Hi all, does anybody want to buddy up through weight loss journey? I'm feeling really positive. I have 6 stone to loose in order to qualify for any fertility treatment.

I'm on sole source, step one. Sticking to shakes this week. Might have some "meals" next week. Might treat myself to a bar next month.

I feel like the bars could be a slippery slope
for me... I prefer cutting all solids out.

Yes I know, not the healthiest diet long term.. I have no intention of gaining it all back. It's not for everybody, please be nice :) I need a kick start.

@Allysan I got confused lol..I thought you meant you literally were going to have cottage pie..so I assume your talking about the Cambridge product lol.. silly question..but is it vegetarian..? Xx

All you guys are so encouraging on here - sending thanks to each and everyone of you for sharing your tips and just being FABULOUS 💫

I fell off the wagon last night - I had 10 orange smarties 😳 I could kick myself really I could.... So I have tried to counteract this by just having my 3l of water 💦 and coffee ☕️ today. Bath and early night again tonight, feel like I’m turning into a hermit.

Husband and daughter just had a dominoes delivered. Told them to throw any leftovers away - I’m all about temptation at the mo 😕

@Mexyy I wish 😂 I’ll check for you, but I doubt it

@LozBoz1972 don’t beat yourself up too much, you stopped after 10, which is fantastic and you quickly realised it wasn’t worth it. I made my kids pizza yesterday and it was painful but I just keep fixating on the end because there is going to be one.

As long as we all keep checking in on here we can all support each other x

@LozBoz1972...I'll echo what's been said....at least you stopped at 10! But please make sure you always have all your products, no matter what, you need the nutrition and the calories. Orange smarties are the best!

I'm very lucky my little boy doesn't eat sweets, chocolate, crisps etc....but he does love cake lol! I get him the Barny cakes...I have absolutely no desire to steal one of those bloody things lol x I'm not sure how well I would do if there was chocolate in the house.

A good tip for teatime...brush your teeth! There'll be no temptation to nick a chip or a pizza crust girls!

Hope you all stay safe in this horrid wind x we're having a snuggle day! Oooh I love those ❤

Hey all. I’ve decided that the weekend is my enemy. I’ve been 100% but it’s been so difficult. The temptation has been real. Hope you’ve all had a better day than me x

I'm on week 5 and I'm losing the will lol I need to join the journey 😬

@Allysan I hear you. The amount of chocolate flying around this house is unreal. I really struggle with water on a weekend, no idea why.

So last date I'd put 4 on, that's now 2 on and weigh in a day early tomorrow. I'm not a happy bunny as I've not cheated (bar that fucking pasty). We shall see what tomorrow brings.

@Lisapendy19 welcome. I'm on week 5 atm too.

@Delly1977 hope you have enjoyed your day!

@Allysan thank you..xx

@LozBoz1972 don’t worry yourself and just remember this feeling of regret it will ensure that you won’t want to cheat again because of that feeling of regret

And to ANYONE THAT FALLS OF THE WAGON
Keep a laxative in the house like duculox and eat it the night before so all the wrong calories get flushed out so it won’t reflect your weight loss or slow your weight down.. however don’t use this as a back up..and say I will have this today and eat a laxative later xx

@Delly1977 loooooollll those Barney cakes hahahahahaha I know the feeling..my little one loves them but I also wouldn’t go near them xx

@RedDhalia don’t worry yourself..just learn from it..and who knows that weight your talking about could be just stool backed up xx

@Lisapendy19 hey..and welcome I’m going to be week 5 on Tuesday..xx

@Allysan I fell your pain...I thought I would be craving so much sweet and chocolates but I am actually craving savoury foods..and all I can think about is PRAWNS and LOBSTER loll one handy trick that puts me of food is going on Instagram and watching those videos of people eating various foods..it’s called mukbang anyone else seen them? OMD literally the way how the eat their food is sickening..and they do it for entertainment but it helps with my cravings loll xx

I've had the worst night sleep and I don't want to get weighed tomorrow 😞😞. I feel like I'm having too many products 4 a day but that's what my consultant says I have to have. Will having 3 a day be ok do you think? Xx

The GOOD thing about being fat is you don't blow away 😂😂😂
I struggled yesterday so had an extra product....it was far better than what I actually wanted. Weekends are tough but girls, I am dreading the school hols. My little boy has special needs, he's a handful to say the least and he sleeps very little. My respite is when he goes to school so its going to be a very long week. I just have to prepare myself as much as I can and have a couple of extra products to hand if need be. He is my absolute world don't get me wrong but hes a little 💩 too 😂😂😩😩😩

@Lisapendy19 my hubby has 4 products, I think for women it goes off your height and weight. I started at 18stone9 (😳) and on Step 2 with 3 products, after 2 weeks I decided I wanted to do Step 1 on 3 products. My consultant was fine so I'm really not sure...have a google as to the rules?

@RedDhalia where do you live? I'm on my way with my sledgehammer! For those bloody scales!!!

@Mexyy just looked at a Mukbang vid. Why did I do that? My biggest biggest annoyance in life is hearing people chew, I literally cannot stand it. Seriously, my husband sucks crisps lol. The dirty filthy horrible buggers! Haha x

Weigh in number 2 this morning and I’ve put on 1!! What the hell?! I’ve been really good and not cheated so really disappointed. Consultant said It could be a fluid retention week . She said to drink more and weigh my protein , hoping for a better loss next week it’s too expensive not to lose weight each week ! 😢

@Delly1977 lolllll I’m so sorry!! I hate the sound tooo and always have to mute it! It gives me such a cringe but did it help out you off the food cravings lolll xxx

@Lisapendy19 that’s strange why has she put you on 4 products a day? I’m 5’11ft and my start weight was over 21stone and I started on 3 products and only have 2 a day..I’m sure she is a good consultant but remember they make their commission depending on how many products you buy.

So originally I got the products from my friend who is a consultant and she gave them to me at cost price which £38.70 for 20 ready made chocolate shakes and there is an £11 delivery charge so I would order them in bulk.
That being said I’m sure she/he is lovely but it always good to be weary xxx what’s your heaight and start weight?

@Delly1977 good work going for the extra product rather then reaching for something else!
Always better to have an extra product then cheat xxxxx

@Oktopus123 I think if you want to see weight loss Every week then go into step 1! That meal really takes a toll on weight loss and from my personal experience it doesn’t help with constant weight loss xx

@mexyy I'm 5"9 and my weight is 13st 13
I think she is just taking the money I'm just getting 3 products next time 70 quid a week is a lot.

My husband was on 4 a day and he is 6"3 and 23st doesn't make sense

Thank you @mexyyy it’s difficult as I do look forward to my meal at the end of the day , I’ll try the things she’s suggested for 1 more week. Surely you would lose every week on only 800 calories a day even if one is a small meal?!🤔

@Oktopus123 I've maintained this week (just been weighed today) and I'm too a tad pissed off.

I agree that a small meal isn't going to put on or maintain, however I guess our bodies do odd things in our cycle. Annoying. Just keep going, it's got to shift soon.

@Mexyy so are you not having all your products then? I was old that you have to have them all otherwise your body goes in to starvation mode and doesn't drop any weight?!

@Delly1977 you would have to wrestle them off me, and given that I've just had 3 lots of emergency spinal surgery and a left leg that doesn't work as it should, I think I would still win.. that's how much they mean to me haha xx
